The most elite fighting group of the high elves, the foundation for the Sunstrider family to settle down, the Blood Guards, known as the Royal Guards of Quel'Thalas, fell.
Don't get me wrong, they are not blood elves created by Kael'thas in other world lines.
The Blood Guards are the Blood Guards. Their name does not come from the blood elves themselves, but from the blood of their enemies.
Spellbreakers themselves are not as scary as their magic-resistant armor.
The biggest misunderstanding about high elves in the world is that this race is not good at close combat.
This biased concept is related to Quel'Thalas as a magical nation.
In fact, the Ranger itself is a very versatile combat unit, strong at both near and far.
But it is absolutely wrong to say that there are no melee legions in the entire Quel'Thalas.
The Blood Guards stationed at Sunwell Highlands are a pure melee corps.
The sturdy Spellbreaker armor gives them the ability to be fearless of magic, and the killing skills they practice day after day make them fearless of powerful enemies.
The Blood Guard's best fighting method is to attack the friendly magicians' devastating mass destruction spells.
However, no matter how powerful the Blood Guards are, they are still high elves and mortal bodies.
Arthas didn't do any tricks to deal with this powerful army of high elves.
The Scourge Legion's tactics are crude to the point of being ridiculous, they just use their troops to pile up.
Simple yet effective.
In the face of a strength gap of dozens of times, individual bravery is not worth mentioning.
Shepherd's Gate, the outermost gate of the Sunwell Plateau, the Blood Guards live up to the Chapter's glorious name, their armor is covered with the stinking filthy flesh of the Scourge.
Then this glorious army, which fought bloody battles all day and night without a moment's rest, was overwhelmed by the death knights.
Because Naga attacked Quel'Danas for unknown reasons.
Originally relying on the fleet, the defense of Quel'Danas Island was very complete. When Sylvanas landed on the island in a small boat, the morale of the defenders was greatly boosted.
As the Ranger General, Sylvanas took over the command without hesitation, and even almost drove Arthas into the sea again.
Taking advantage of the loss of Alsace's backup, the defenders of Quel'Danas launched a counterattack. With the support of naval artillery and crossbows, and under the seemingly endless magical light of the Sunwell, the Scourge were mercilessly slaughtered. With.
It was precisely in this way that Kalecgos was able to break through the blockade of the four floating fortresses and break out of the Sunwell Highlands.
But Arthas was not angry. He led the backbone of the Scourge Legion to hold on to the last position on the seaside and waited for subsequent reinforcements.
If the battle situation continues to be stalemate, the outcome will still be uncertain.
As a core area with a higher security level than Silvermoon City, Quel'Danas stores a huge amount of supplies.
Sylvanas is even confident that she can defend the island for a year with her current strength.
However, when Sylvanas led most of the defenders to try to drive Arthas into the sea, Naga stabbed the high elf in the back.
Ships were scuttled, harbors destroyed, and the naga charged into the backs of the high elven defenders from the far sea side, only to retreat before they could make contact with the Scourge.
It’s simply unreasonable!
Following the Naga's raid, Arthas waited for a steady stream of reinforcements and counterattacked, directly cutting the high elves of Quel'Thalas into two parts, the north and the south.
The high elves on the northern magister platform were besieged and refused to attack, and the main combat power was placed in the direction of the Sunwell Highlands in the south.
The attack on Shepherd's Gate was launched before dusk and ended before nightfall the next day.
The guards tried their best, and the deep pond under the entrance bridge was filled with rotting flesh. Arthas spent at least 50,000 troops to break through the outermost defense line of Sunwell Highlands.
However, Arthas didn't care, and the Lich King didn't care even more.
For the Scourge Legion, their troops are for consumption.
However, the nightmare began precisely from the moment the Shepherd's Gate was breached.
When the martyrs who fought bloody battles were brought back to the world by evil necromancy, the Sunwell Highlands had no secrets left for the Scourge.
Sylvanas thought that she could use the special architectural structure of the Sunwell Highlands to fortify herself, but she didn't understand that for Arthas and Ner'zhul behind him, the egg only had the outermost shell.
The high elf defenders were completely defeated.
All magic traps have no effect on the resurrected Blood Guard, and the soul controlled by Frostmourne has no mercy.
Coupled with the aerial suppression of the three floating fortresses and the secret infiltration of Sarain, the Sunwell Highlands fell so quickly that the previous day and night of desperate fighting seemed like an absurd dream.
The Lich King's forbearance made Sylvanas feel chilled.
All high elves know that the floating fortress is a formidable enemy, and big problems will arise if they are not dealt with seriously.
But when the bloody battle at Shepherd's Gate was in full swing, the Scourge never moved the floating fortress used to suppress the Sunwell.
When the Shepherd's Gate was breached and the Scourge army invaded the Sunwell Highlands, the three intact fortresses finally revealed their ferocious appearance.
Obsidian Destroyer appears.
Carlos was very embarrassed squatting on the back of Kalecgos. When he arrived offshore of Quel'Danas, he happened to see these obsidian destroyers annihilating the outer protective barrier of the Sunwell Plateau.
It is really magnificent, and the dragon is amazed by it.
No wonder the reins in the game are all those of XX baby dragons...
Carlos didn't think there was anything wrong with standing at first.
But Kalecgos is an adult dragon, and its flying speed is truly incredible. It is even more exciting than the Enterprise in Heaven.
There was no choice, the wind pressure was too great while standing, and Carlos had to find a way to bend his body.
However, the problem arises. Although Kalecgos is an adult dragon, it is not "giant" enough.
This dragon thing has two rows of spines in the center of its back, and its wings are on the middle side of its body.
Carlos tried leaning towards the dragon's head and trying to sit astride it, but there were still thorns under his mane.
Then he tried to cross over the whirring dragon wings and sit sideways to the wide dragon buttocks.
But why does the blue dragon's butt sway when it flies? !
In the end, Carlos was driven to exhaustion and used a posture similar to Zama Step to find his rightful place on the dragon's back.
In this way, one person and one dragon began to comment on the "monster" in the distance.
"Why are Tol'vir's creations here?"
Kalecgos was horrified.
"Northrend also has this thing?"
Carlos was also quite curious.
"Yes, I've seen these things in the Storm Peaks."
Kalecgos continued without waiting for Carlos to ask more questions.
"These obsidian creations can absorb formed magic and store it in their bodies for use. They are the natural enemies of our blue dragons. However, the great Malygos does not agree with the legion organizing a battle to destroy them. Obviously, they now belong to the Scourge Legion Everything. The Lich King deceived all of Northrend!"
Carlos was unmoved as he listened to Kalecgos's wailing wails.
Because he knows the reason.
Players who have played the Warcraft series in their previous lives have this question.
Why does the Scourge of the Undead have the Obsidian Destroyer unit?
The real answer is that HUM has priests, NE has claw druid, and even ORC has shaman's recovery totem, but UD has no recovery unit.
Is this reasonable?
This is unbalanced, so the official gave UD such a thing that can restore blood, restore mana, and fly into the sky to absorb magic and have a range of AOE.
In order to justify himself, a bizarre life experience was designed for the Obsidian Destroyer.
The story begins before the world falls apart.
The Yaqir bugs were exploded by trolls, the Yaqir empire collapsed, and the bugs were divided into three. One of them went to the cold north of the ancient Kalimdor continent and evolved into today's Azjol Nerub.
This group of insect-men, Adroniburu, who evolved into the form of spider demons, dug underground to build a magnificent city, escaping the pursuit of the trolls, and returned to Guka after the great cataclysm that shattered the earth. The surface of Northrend in Limdor, and defeated the tol'vir tribe near Ulduar.
By coincidence, another group of Aqirs that went south evolved into Qiraji under the leadership of the Twin Emperors, and plundered another Tol'vir tribe near Uldum.
So both Adronibru and Ahn'Qiraj possess the obsidian destroyer production technology that originally belonged to the Tol'vir tribe.
However, whether it was Carlos, Kalecgos, or Malygos, they were all deceived by the Lich King.
Although Azjol-Nerub had been captured, the Nerubians and Obsidian Destroyer were hidden so deeply that they were not released for use until Arthas captured the Shepherd's Gate.
The purpose is very clear. The Lich King hopes that the magical world of Obsidian Destroyer will suppress the brilliance of the Sunwell and temporarily paralyze the magic operation of the Sunwell Highlands.
In this way, Alsace will have a smooth journey.
Seeing the dark creation swallowing the radiance of magic power, the huge arcane puppet created by the high elves also collapsed to the ground.
Carlos kicked Kalecgos.
"Find a way to rush in!"
Carlos drew his weapon and prepared for battle.
