Silvermoon City, in the city defense command hall, ranger general Sylvanas Windrunner and her lieutenant Lor'themar Theron, as well as more than a dozen senior commanders of the remaining ranger troops, and the captain of the Silvermoon City guard , and representatives of the stationed mage group held a pre-war preparation meeting here.
"Let's talk about it! What should we do now? The Ranger Scouts just came to report. Now the undead army has bypassed Silver Moon City and seems to be preparing to cross the sea from the bay of the Western Temple to Sun Chaser Island! According to their current route of action , they must be planning to cross the strait directly from Sunchaser Island to attack the Sunwell Highlands on Quel'Danas Island! From this point of view, the previous judgments of the Parliament and the King were correct, and the target of the undead is indeed ours. Sunwell!"
Sylvanas, who was sitting in the main seat, was the first to speak. After returning from Little Annie, she began to send people to summon the officers to start the combat meeting.
In less than half a day, all the feedback from the ranger scouts was bad news! Fairwind Village was destroyed, the Western Temple was razed to the ground, and no grass grew where the undead passed. On the originally beautiful land of Quel'Thalas, a shocking, huge and dark scar appeared diagonally across it!
Now, the only good news she got is: the powerful demigod mage, Little Annie has promised her to provide some necessary help to the elves when defending the city. This makes the Ranger General confident that he can successfully defend Silver Moon. The city’s confidence has increased by several points!
After all, in Silvermoon City, there are a large number of magic towers and protective arrays connected in parallel, as well as the Sunwell's massive magical energy supply for unlimited use. Under the full protection of the city defense and ranger troops, a person who stays in The mage demigods in the city can definitely exert their terrifying power, right?
"I don't think you need to worry too much about this matter! The undead don't have enough ships to cross the sea! When the king and parliament went to garrison at the Sunwell Highlands, they had already taken away a large number of military transport ships from Sunsail Port , now they are all in the waters near Quel'Danas Island!" A high-ranking mage from the mage group stood up and began to express his opinion.
"If it were the port over Darth Visor's Tower, I might be a little worried. After all, there are a lot of civilian ships there! However, now that the undead are in the Western Temple, I'm afraid all the ships they can find will be added. It’s not enough for ten ships, right? With these few ships to transport troops, when will they be transported? Maybe, we can wait until this time next year before preparing for battle?" After a smile, the high-level mage nodded. After greeting everyone, he sat back haughtily in his seat.
Sylvanas didn't care about the attitude of these mages. These mages had always been like this. She was not in the mood to accuse him of being arrogant now. The meeting was still important! Moreover, she did not agree with what this idiot had just thought. The undead were definitely not as easy to deal with as he thought. Their number alone and the number of soldiers who could be replenished anytime and anywhere were enough to push everything! She must remain vigilant at all times, otherwise, the high elf may be in danger!
"Does anyone else have any opinions? If you have any, please tell me immediately!"
Sylvanas was not as optimistic as the arrogant mage. On the contrary, she always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't figure out what was wrong! That human prince, now the Death Knight, could not have thought of this situation. So, why did he go to the bay next to the Western Temple? What on earth does he want to do?
"General, since the undead are no longer planning to attack Silvermoon City, should we send some troops to reinforce the Sunwell Highlands?" At this time, a ranger captain stood up and expressed his opinion.
"Absolutely not! Here in Silvermoon City, including the newly recruited militia, there are less than three thousand people in total! On Quel'Danas, in addition to the original Sunwell Guards, there are nearly half of the ranger troops, most of whom are High-level mages, almost all members of the Council, and most of the Royal Guards, even His Majesty the King are still there! Their guard strength is more than ten times that of ours! We have so few people to reinforce What’s the use?”
Without even thinking about it, Sylvanas rejected the ranger captain's proposal! What a joke, Silvermoon City's defense force is already very weak now! What she wants to defend is Silver Moon City with a population of 200,000. She still has too few troops, so how can she divide her troops?
Besides, it’s unclear whether the true purpose of the undead is the Sunwell or not. All of this is just their speculation! What if the undead arrive at Sun Chaser Island but then attack Silver Moon City? Can that narrow shoal strait stop the undead?
If it weren't for the fact that we still couldn't see how the undead could cross the sea, Sylvanas almost wanted to send people to blow up the cross-sea bridge outside the northwest gate of Silvermoon City in advance. The undead used it to turn around and attack Silvermoon City!
"I don't agree to split up our troops to support any more! The magic defense of the Sunwell Highlands is impenetrable! We just have to wait in Silver Moon City for news of His Majesty's victory and triumph!"
The high-level mage who just spoke stood up again and added. In his opinion, there is no need for reinforcements. The army and magical defenses on Quel'Danas are enough to completely eliminate the undead! How many people can their undead transport at one time? Maybe the twenty or so warships of the Navy can take them into the sea to feed the fish! He even wondered curiously whether those murlocs, who were never picky eaters, would eat skeletons and zombies?
"General, I think you'd better send someone to inform the residents and guards on Zhuri Island now. Although we don't know when the undead will start crossing the sea, it's best to let them take precautions in advance!" Li, a high-ranking priest who has been silent all the time, Adeline stood up and voiced her opinion for the first time.
"That's fine! Lor'themar, I'll leave this matter to you later! After that, you set off to stay on Sunchaser Island. If you can't hold it, everyone will be withdrawn to Silvermoon City!"
Sylvanas turned to assign tasks to Lor'themar beside her. He was now the ranger lord and no longer her adjutant. Let him do this kind of sole responsibility, whether to retreat or defend. Presumably he should know it well!
Sylvanas had just assigned the task, and before Lor'themar had time to respond, a dusty ranger scout rushed directly into the conference room, led by two guards.
"General! Something bad is going on! It's that magic sword! The death knight used that magic sword to cut an ice bridge directly to the Sun-Chasing Island on the sea. The undead passed through the ice and rushed towards the Sun-Chasing Island. went!"
This female ranger scout was covered in scars from branches and thorns falling down, and there were even two bloody wounds on her fair and tender face, but now, she could no longer care about these.
"Also! The captain asked me to tell you a piece of news: there is an elf in the undead team! A living elf! There is a traitor among us!"
"What?!"
Sylvanas was so shocked that she took possession of it! Sure enough, she knew it would be like this! She knew that the death knight leading the undead army to the Western Temple must have a conspiracy! She knew there must be something wrong with the elf gate being easily breached!
Now it is indeed like this! Everything is proven! traitor! And the Ice Bridge! He actually has the ability to build a bridge across the strait directly on the sea? Is this still a power that mortals should have?
"How many residents are there on Sunchaser Island? How many guards are there?" Knowing the seriousness of the matter, Sylvanas quickly asked Lor'themar who had not had time to go out.
"This..., if I remember correctly, the small village next to Fasselin College and the Tower of the Sun has about ten thousand residents combined, and the defenders may have less than fifty people..."
At this point, Lor'themar's face began to turn pale. He knew that most of the tribesmen on Sun Chaser Island were dead! According to the tireless marching speed of the undead, and counting the time it takes for the scouts to return to report, the undead may have already invaded Sun Chaser Island by now!
"Lor'themar! You immediately lead a thousand rangers to reinforce and garrison the northwest gate of Silvermoon City, and then quickly send people to install magic explosives on the cross-sea bridge. Once the undead show signs of attacking Silvermoon City, blow it up immediately. At the bridge! Now, go right away!"
The Ranger General stood up from her position, her face looking terrifyingly ferocious! She never expected that the undead would have such incredible methods! It seems that Quel'Thalas has lost tens of thousands of people on Sunchaser Island! Sooner or later, she will have to settle this blood feud with the undead! That damn Alsace!
"Yes!" Lor'themar also knew the seriousness of the matter. He did not dare to delay at all, and immediately got up and ran outside.
"Wait! If, if you can, try to help those tribesmen who are lucky enough to escape, go ahead!" As if she had lost all her strength, Sylvanas closed her eyes and sat back on the main seat.
"I'll help him too!" After seeing her lover Lor'themar running out, Liadrin also stood up and trotted out without waiting for the ranger general to say anything else.
"Felendre! You immediately dispatch half of the mages to the northwest gate, and then prepare to hand over the authority of the mage tower in the center of Silvermoon City. When the situation is urgent, let our elven guests use it!" See After Lor'themar and Liadrin walked out, Sylvanas began to make the final arrangements.
"General Sylvanas! I firmly oppose it! That's just a little girl, and she's a human girl of unknown origin! She's not our high elf! How could we give her such an important city defense center, the Mage Tower? Use? Who knows what she might do?"
High-level mage Ferendre suddenly stood up from his position. He was unwilling to accept this outrageous order! This ranger general actually wants to give up Silvermoon City's most important defense center to a human of unknown origin? How could she have such an idea? This is equivalent to leaving the fate of all elves in the hands of a human of unknown origin!
"If you, Ferendre, are a demigod, or if your ability is enough to protect Silvermoon City, I will accept your objection! If you can't, then follow my orders now! immediately!"
Sylvanas stared coldly at the mage in front of her, her left hand unconsciously pressing the dagger at her waist. She had thought about this problem before, but now she had no choice but to trust him unconditionally! It was now a time of war. As long as the mage in front of her dared to say no, she would take action to capture him directly.
"Ha! Well, you are now the highest officer in Silvermoon City, and I will carry out your orders unconditionally! However, I reserve the right to complain to the Parliament and the King about you! I hope General Sylvanas, you will not Regret!" After saying that, Philendre waved his hand and walked out.
After watching the arrogant high-level mage walk out of the conference room door, Sylvanas couldn't help laughing to herself, and then she waved her hand for others to hurry down and prepare.
regret? Ah!
At that time, the most that can be done is to dismiss oneself, but so what? As long as Silvermoon City can be defended, it will all be worth it! The high elves have lost too many people now. Taquelin and Yongsong Forest are almost being razed to the ground by the undead! If she can't protect Silver Moon City now and the last 200,000 compatriots in the city, she will regret it!

digression
PS: Since some people have asked, let me explain why I don’t directly summon the fire elemental army to counteract the undead natural disaster.
First: If Arthas is killed and the undead are destroyed, who will resurrect Kel'Thuzad? Who would summon Archimonde without Kel'Thuzad? If Archimonde cannot come out, Dark Night can continue to live on Mount Hyjal for another hundred thousand years! The people of Lordaeron can also restore their country after exterminating the leaderless undead! Then they can happily shout that long live the Alliance of Lordaeron and the Alliance of Stormwind City! After sending some people to destroy the Lich King Ner'zhul, Azeroth will live in peace for 100,000 years! There won’t be as many troubles as the later ones! So what, who is the Savior? Who is Anduin? Who is Bolvar? They said they didn’t know him!
Second: Can any demigod open the portal of the Grand Legion? Just cast a spell and throw it out, and a million troops will come over? What a joke! Check out the legion-level portal Dark Portal! Who built it? They are the two most powerful among the few demigods born from mortals in the history of Warcraft! One of them is the last guardian with the consciousness of Sargeras - Medivh! The other is the orc warlock who was personally taught by Kil'jaeden - Gul'dan! The two demigods worked together to build a legion-level portal that could pass through a large number of armies! And it also requires a steady supply of energy! Only hundreds of thousands of orcs can rush out at once!
Third: Small portals also require a constant supply of energy, and the number of troops passing through at one time is not too many. Think of those portals built by the Burning Legion! The Burning Legion is a professional demolition team in the universe. When people come to Azeroth, they need to carefully build portals to continuously transport Legion soldiers. Isn't there a mission to destroy the portal that exiled the Burning Legion?
Now, you, a demigod, want to wave your hand and summon an army of millions to push back the undead? Sargeras didn't even dare to think like this! Otherwise, when he sneaked to Azeroth for the second time, Medivh and his mother would have beaten him to death in Northrend? Later, there was a story about the soul fragment possessing Medivh and working together to build the Dark Portal!
Sargeras, the dark titan, is so awesome. If he wants to teleport his army, he has to think carefully about it! You, a demigod, want to wave your hand and pull out an army of millions of fire elements? Go ahead and dream!
If there are only a hundred or ten fire elements, it may be okay to wave your hand. But if you want to continuously teleport the army, you have to learn from the Burning Legion and honestly upgrade technology, harvest resources, chop wood, and mine gold. Mine, clear wild monsters, and then build the violent building: the portal! Then start to accumulate troops, continue to open bases, continue to accumulate troops, and finally push the enemy's base in one wave! Haven't any of those messing around played Frozen Throne?
Final summary: No one can easily create a portal for millions of troops! Besides, Azeroth has Titan defense measures! Moreover, magic is a rigorous science that follows the basic principle of equivalent exchange! Want to go through the portal? No problem, pay the ticket price and toll first! Yes, that’s how it should be!

Finally, what! We’ve run out of manuscripts! Tonight’s is now posted and gone! You can also throw in all the recommended tickets.
