The victory in Corona Village boosted the morale of the blood elves in Quitalin, and they also completely got over the shadow of the death of their former commander.
However, there is one blood elf who is very unhappy in this victory. She is Louise, the reporter of "Sunshine News"!
In her eyes, Michaela is a useless minister who only knows how to use power for personal gain, is incompetent and stupid. All of Michaela's so-called achievements and fame were obtained through deception, so she must expose his true face!
"This is justice."
There is no doubt that the above contents are all Louise's personal thoughts, and she will never admit that her personal feud with Michaela was all due to the latter's pressure on the newspaper manager to withdraw her report. …
"Okay, Michaela, you win this time!"
Louise said that the last report she compiled was written too early, which made it inconsistent with the facts and could not be published at all. But this time she would not make the same mistake again. Louise knew that Michaela would attack the ziggurat defense line next, so she decided:
"Michaela, when you fail, I will immediately write a report and ruin your reputation!"
Michaela, who knew nothing about this, rested with the charming succubus until the next morning, and then there was a new round of military meetings. The topics discussed this time were of course:
"We must prepare to launch a ziggurat offensive!"
In the commander's office, Michaela pointed to the map of Ghost Land on the table and started a discussion with the military representatives.
The ziggurat defense line is located south of Quitalin and north of Dysom. The two ziggurat towers stand on the east and west sections of the Death Scar respectively. They are the outposts of Dysom. If you want to attack Dysom, you must break through the ziggurat defense line.
Mikayla's predecessor, Catril, was unable to attack this line of defense for a long time, causing his mentality to explode. Only then did he fall into Darkan's trick of luring the enemy deeper and was killed by Dysom. So how does Michaela attack this line of defense?
Among the thirteen articles in "The Art of War", there is one "Yong Jian", which emphasizes the importance of intelligence. Now Mikaela has someone who knows the information about natural disasters. He is the former member of the Cult of the Cursed and the Necromancer. Aikun!
Ai Kun, who had been completely fascinated by the succubi of the warlocks, walked into the office with the charming succubus in his arms and betrayed all the information about the undead army to everyone present without any pressure.
As Dysom's outpost barrier, there will naturally be many troops on the ziggurat defense line. In addition to numerous cannon fodder units such as ghouls, skeletons and zombies, there are also a considerable number of necromancers and crypts. Demons and gargoyles.
"Be especially careful with Nakrelot and Luzlan!"
Aikun said: "They are the abomination created by Darkan himself, and they are also an important trump card for guarding the ziggurat defense line!"
The so-called abominations, also called suture monsters, are monsters stitched together by the Scourge from a large number of corpses. Nakrelot and Luzlan, the two named abominations, are obviously more powerful than ordinary abominations.
Even the system elf Torina reminded: "In the game "World of Warcraft", they are elite monsters! In the real Azeroth, they will definitely be more powerful."
But the biggest threat to the ziggurat's defense line is not the two powerful abominations, but from the ziggurat itself!
According to Aikun, the ziggurat contains artifacts plundered from the blood elves by the Scourge and used as an energy source to allow the crystals at the top of the ziggurat to emit powerful magical bombardments.
In this regard, the warrior Bakashi who participated in the previous battle said that the magical bombardment fired from the ziggurat can blast a large crater with a diameter of ten meters on the ground, which is enough to witness its power.
Hearing this news, Michaela was stunned for a moment. It even reminded him of the military howitzer he had seen when he joined the army in his previous life. The power of that shot was almost the same.
"Is there any solution?"
Michaela looked at Ai Kun, who glanced at the succubus in his arms and nodded immediately:
"have!"
It turns out that although the energy source in the ziggurat is powerful, it has an unstable factor. It stops working every once in a while for unknown reasons.
Of course, just because the undead side doesn't know the principle doesn't mean that Michaela doesn't know it.
Torina looked through the memory file and said, "Michaela, the energy sources in the two ziggurats are the Stone of Flame and the Stone of Light, both artifacts containing the power of the Sunwell."
How about it, you understand.
Due to the powerful power from the Sunwell of the Flame Stone and the Light Stone, the two ziggurats can launch powerful magical attacks. However, the Sunwell is not a dead thing, but has a will of its own!
At this moment, Anweina Tigo, the incarnation of the Sunwell, is in Silvermoon City. It is obvious that the Stone of Flame and the Stone of Light are being influenced by Anweina and are resisting the manipulation of the Scourge Legion. This has led to the collapse of the Ziggurat every time. It will stop working after a while.
It is a pity that the former commander Ketrell did not know the above-mentioned military secrets, which led to his tragedy.
"In other words," Michaela said, "Darkan took advantage of the shutdown of the ziggurat and deliberately lured Catril deep into Desom, right?"
"right!"
Ai Kun said firmly: "Taijun, as long as we seize the time when the ziggurat is suspended and launch an attack, we can win it in one fell swoop!"
"Um!"
Michaela nodded with satisfaction and said to Ai Kun: "Okay, big one!"
You see, even the taste has changed...
So how long will it take for the next Ziggurat to be shut down?
Ai Kun, who looked like a traitor, immediately sold out the Scourge Legion: "Reporting to Taijun, according to my estimation, the next shutdown of the Ziggurat will be in two days, and the shutdown will last for a whole day!"
Michaela: "Yoshi!"
The meeting ended like this, and Mikaela announced that he would launch an offensive against the ziggurat defense line in two days. This time it was a full blow. There was no and could not be any reservations, because they only had one day!
If the ziggurat defense line cannot be captured in this short day, then Darkan will not give Michaela another chance!
In the following time, Mikaela began intense pre-war preparations. Due to smooth logistics support, a large number of high-quality armors and weapons were transported to the front line, and countless amounts of food and clean water were also piled into Quitalin's warehouse.
At the same time, the details of the offensive plan are also being worked out intensively.
Because of his limited troop strength, Mikaela could not choose to divide his troops and go around, but could only choose to attack head-on. And this time is different from the battle of Silver Moon City.
During the Battle of Silvermoon City, the blood elves could also launch an attack at noon, using the midday sun to weaken the undead. But in the land of ghosts where dark clouds cover the sky, there is no sunlight that weakens the undead. On the contrary, the rotten air filled here will only greatly increase the combat effectiveness of the undead.
Everyone knows that this is a hard battle, and every blood elf in Quitalin is determined to fight to the death, and Mikaela also believes in their will.
However, there is one thing that only Michaela knows, or in other words, it is something that only the commander will think about.
That's what to do after taking down the Ziggurat?
Mikaela believed that the blood elf troops she led could take down the ziggurat. However, a tragic victory with 1,000 enemy kills and 800 self-destructions would also make the subsequent battle to capture Dysom difficult.
Yes, Mikaela has been thinking about the possibility of reducing casualties, but Darkan will never let Mikaela realize his idea, because the original intention of establishing the ziggurat defense line was to consume the blood elves' troops.
More importantly, the current state of Silvermoon City means that there will be no more reinforcements. Mikaela can only rely on the troops on hand to solve all problems.
"It's a bit difficult!"
In the commander's office, Michaela was lost in thought, while his sister Marlenia could not help at all and could only sit quietly aside.
As for Torina, the system elf cannot interfere with reality and can only sigh: "It would be great if it was a game. Players could just walk into Desom and kill Darkan."
Michaela also smiled bitterly and said, "Unfortunately, reality is not a game."
The time soon came to a day and a half later, and Michaela, who was well prepared, led the troops to set off. Don't be surprised, it was still half a day's journey from Quetalin to the Ziggurat. Michaela would not waste the precious downtime on marching. On foot.
Torina also gave a timely reminder: "According to Ai Kun, the ziggurat will shut down on time at 3 o'clock tomorrow morning, and we will arrive at the combat area at 2 o'clock tomorrow morning."
"Do you have one hour to prepare before the battle?"
Michaela looked forward and said silently in her heart: "We will definitely win."
Immediately, Michaela looked at Ai Kun behind her and asked, "Can you guarantee that the Ziggurat will be shut down by then? What if it doesn't shut down?"
Ai Kun said confidently: "Taijun, don't worry, if there is no shutdown, I am willing to commit suicide!"
In this way, Michaela led this thousand-man army to leave Quintalin and march towards the ziggurat defense line in the south. But he didn't know that not long after the troops left Quitalin, Louise appeared at the southern exit of Quitalin, looked at the leaving troops, and said to herself:
"Michaela, I'm right here, waiting for you to fail, hahahahaha!"
"Ah sneeze!"
"Who's talking about me!"
Michaela touched her nose and looked around with a confused expression, but there was nothing around except herself.
Torina also said: "Michaela, you probably caught a cold."
That's right, the environment in the Land of Ghosts is indeed colder than that of Yongsong Forest. Michaela wrapped her mage robe tightly and moved on...
Since the time of marching was very boring, I quickly skipped it and went directly to 2 o'clock in the morning.
Michaela led the army to the predetermined location. At this time, even with the naked eye, he could clearly see the two ziggurat towers, especially the magic crystal on the top of the tower, which was shining with dazzling white light, as well as the undead spirits who had been waiting for a long time. Army!
"Array up!"
Seeing that the undead army had no intention of launching an attack, Michaela also began to command the army: "The blood knights are the front army, the mages are on the left, and the hunters are on the right!"
As for the Rogues, they are waiting for the opportunity, while the Priests stay behind and serve as support positions.
What?
Warlock?
They are Mikaela's personal guards. Together with Marlenia, they all stand beside Mikaela. At the same time, Ai Kun also follows behind with the succubus in his arms, and vows to promise again:
"Don't worry, Taijun, the Ziggurat will be shut down soon."
Sure enough, just as Ai Kun said, an hour later, as the time came to three o'clock in the morning, the magic crystals on the tops of the two ziggurats really dimmed!
Chance!
Michaela immediately ordered: "The whole army..."
But at this moment, the crystal on the top of the ziggurat suddenly lit up again, and two magical bombardments were shot out of the crystal, directly hitting the blood elves' troops.
Damn it!
