Although in the past history, there were also incidents where mages used powerful magic to influence wars, in most cases, magic was still used on small battlefields or caused damage to individuals.
The last time such a grand scene in which magic changed the entire war situation occurred was when humans and high elves joined forces to bring down heavenly fire in the Troll War to destroy the Amani Troll Empire.
The last time magic affected the fate of a city on a large scale was hundreds of years ago, when the ancestors of the Wildhammer dwarves abandoned Grim Batol due to the curse of magic.
After that, there were no large-scale wars in the Eastern Kingdom, and mages were no longer involved in large numbers of wars.
Until now... under Ye Ting's design, the horror of magic was finally revealed to everyone again: a city, under the influence of magic, was completely destroyed within a few minutes.
However, in the minds of all rulers and generals, the greatest significance of Ye Ting's use of the earthquake technique to bury Sinsaro did not lie in the terrible consequences.
If we talk about the effects of magic alone, the effect of Ye Ting's earthquake spell this time is completely incomparable to the previous two.
However, this is not the case for these rulers and generals.
Because this magic is cast too easily.
It neither concentrated a large number of mages nor prepared a large amount of spellcasting materials. The only thing he needs is that after some specific calculations, less than ten mages can prepare some casting materials and find a place to cast them.
Magic such as Skyfire and Grim Batol's Curse in the Troll War, although their effects are terrifying, are undoubtedly unavailable to rulers.
But like Ye Ting, with precise calculations, he gave full play to the effects of magic, and used low-cost spells to create terrible effects with four or two strokes.
This is what they admire most about Ye Ting and what they admire most.
From a certain perspective, war is fought with money and resources. Those who can accomplish the most things with the least resources are the top talents - the so-called most brilliant politicians, military strategists, businessmen, etc. If so.
It is estimated that Ye Ting can now be honored as a military strategist in the alliance.
And he is the rarest military strategist who is good at using war magic.
You know, the mages in World of Warcraft are actually equivalent to scientists on Earth. Compared to general fame and fortune, mages are more willing to pursue the improvement of magical abilities and the accumulation of arcane knowledge.
This has led to most mages being isolated from ordinary people's society and political power. When it comes to the study of arcana and alchemy, or even their understanding of mathematics, natural history, astronomy, geography, linguistics, and archeology, mages are basically More or less can be said clearly.
However, most mages are at a loss when it comes to humanities subjects such as military, politics, and economics - after all, this has nothing to do with their pursuits.
Of course, there are also individual mages who only use magic as a tool to gain power. These mages will be widely involved in various adventures, explorations, or as soldiers, etc.
But there are only a few such mages after all, and it is often impossible for such mages to reach a relatively high level. Most of the magic they are good at is to solve daily troubles and use snake oil spells to fight alone. It is almost impossible for such a mage to learn large-scale spells with a huge range of influence and terrifying effects.
By the way, in fact, in the real Western fantasy world-including DND-it is basically impossible for mages to become mercenaries or adventurers. Low-level mages are too fragile and not suitable for taking risks, while high-level mages are too rare and too difficult to achieve. Such mages often only come from various big families and academies. They are either rich or noble, so there is no need to take risks.
In other words, if a mage wants to become a military strategist like Ye Ting, he must either live long enough like a high elf and have enough energy to learn knowledge unrelated to magic, or he can only expect him to be a genius.
In the original history of World of Warcraft, such people did exist. The former were often born from high elves and night elves, while the latter were the"chosen ones" like the future Jaina.
In short, Ye Ting's status in the league rose a few points without even realizing it.
At this time, he did not arrange the army to search the ruins because the earthquake spell ended, but cast another earthquake spell on the ruins of Zinsaro.
This time, he did not unite with others and did not use all his strength for the earthquake technique, which resulted in the effect of the earthquake technique being very average.
But this is in line with his own requirements.
When other mages asked curious questions, he replied:
"Before sending people into the ruins, we need to confirm that the ruins are relatively safe. It would be bad if when searching the ruins, the earth and rocks collapsed due to structural instability. Now I use the earthquake technique to shake it slightly. If there is any structural instability in the ruins, it will collapse under a small earthquake. Otherwise, it is of course safe."
Such a cautious and thoughtful thought made others think more highly of him.
Sure enough, after the second earthquake, several buildings in the ruins that had not been completely buried suddenly collapsed, and there were also several piles of rubble. It was hollow and collapsed during the earthquake.
After the safety hazards were completely eliminated, the Alliance army entered Sinsaro. Although the landslides and mudslides occurred, the Alliance soldiers thought it was spectacular from a distance. But only by observing on the spot did they truly realize the damage magic had done to the city.
Between the rubble of the broken walls, they could often see the hands and feet of the trolls that were not completely buried sticking out of the gaps. , due to the powerful vitality of the troll, some of these limbs can still move.
However, more of them are corpses buried in the ground in the gaps.
The army searched Sinsaro for a whole day before finding dozens of bodies that were lucky enough not to be killed. The lucky ones affected by the disaster. However, although these trolls were unscathed, most of them fell into madness. The sudden destruction of Xinsaro and the total annihilation of their tribesmen were a huge blow to them. After confirming the evil branch giant After the demon tribe was completely destroyed, the war of encirclement and suppression organized by Ye Ting against Zul'Aman and the Hinterlands trolls was finally over.
In this war, the Alliance not only completely eliminated all those who had been dealing with them for thousands of years. The Amani Trolls eliminated the troubles of future orc wars, liberated the troops of Quel'Thalas, and brought the relationship between humans and high elves closer.
At the same time, this war also created new opportunities for the Eagle's Nest Mountain, The Kingdom of Lordaeron and Quel'Thalas have opened up land, and it can be regarded as a qualified training and training for the joint operations of humans, elves, and dwarves.
In short, for the Alliance, this war to encircle and suppress the trolls has It is of great significance and has indeed fully achieved its purpose.
As the organizer of the war, Archmage Ye Ting, in addition to being a mage, now also has great reputation and a status that cannot be ignored in the alliance as a military strategist and politician..To read the ununderlined version of the novel, please download Feilu Novel A
