Chapter 481: Abandoning the City
The army of the undead still adheres to the tactics of the Sea of Skulls, making it almost impossible to see any hope of victory.
Su Chen had long been accustomed to facing this overwhelming army of undead, and with those paladins with the silver hand in front of him, there was no need for him to go to the battlefield in person at present.
However, the city of Dalaran in the sky could not withstand this kind of attrition, the magical light emitted by the mage towers above had become weaker and weaker, the frequency of releasing magic had been reduced by at least half, and it was rare to release a wide range of attack magic to the ground, more to deal with those gargoyles and bone dragons in the air, and at the same time to maintain its own defensive barrier.
In fact, the endurance problem of mages has always been more severe, but the previous wars were not as fierce as they are now, especially there will not be so many cannon fodder as the undead natural disaster.
After losing the air support of the mages, the paladins of the Silver Hand were already a little struggling, they were facing the main force of the undead scourge after all.
When the sky was twilight, in the north of the Dragon Sleep Temple, the corpses of the undead had already been covered with a thick layer, but the army of the undead was still approaching the Dragon Sleep Temple step by step, and the defense range of the paladins gradually shrank as their own casualties continued to increase.
"I'm afraid that the number of undead killed by us has already exceeded 100,000, but it seems that the undead in the back will be at least 100,000." Tirio. Fu Ding took the time to return to the Dragon Sleep Temple to rest for a while, and by the way, he reported the current battle situation to Su Chen.
"Well, at this rate of death, the undead scourge won't last long." Su Chen nodded and said.
But he really just wanted to give it to Tirio. Fording had some confidence, he and Chromie had been to Icecrown Glacier before, and had seen the army of the undead on that snowy field with his own eyes, and he was afraid that there would be millions, and now this elimination was really nothing for the undead scourge. What's more, many elites of the Undead Scourge have not yet appeared, and even a BOSS-level powerhouse has not yet appeared.
This time the battle will be brutal.
A trace of hesitation flashed inexplicably in Su Chen's heart, and he didn't know whether it was right or wrong for him to drag the Human Kingdom into the battlefield of Northrend so early......
Originally, he was willing to send troops north because he had the thigh of the dragon clan to hug, but now it seems that the dragon clan is unable to protect itself, and even Crassus looks helpless. Obviously, there is no other way to change the tide of the war, and this also means that the army of the human kingdom is likely to be the main force in the fight against the undead scourge!
Although he also knew that there would definitely be a head-to-head battle between humans and the undead scourge, the time should not be now.
At present, the forces of the human kingdom have not been well integrated, and the so-called Lordaeron Alliance is currently limited to Lordaeron, Dalaran, and Kurtilas
That's it, the other human kingdoms have not cooperated, and the dwarven kingdoms and the gnomes have not yet had time to send troops.
The sun is shining, the battle on the snowy field is still going on, and there is no fear of life and death and no fatigue, which is the most important advantage of the army of the undead. At present, the Undead Scourge is clearly preparing to use this advantage of itself to carry out continuous combat.
The city of Dalaran in the sky was completely dumbfounded, and many of the mage towers could only occasionally emit a spell after losing their source of magic, and the lilac defensive barrier was already full of gargoyles and bone dragons.
Without the mana supply, there would be almost no suspense about Dalaran's ruin.
"I didn't expect our dragons to be suppressed in the air one day......" Afrashastaz looked at the gargoyles and bone dragons in the sky, his face full of bitterness.
The dragons had lost most of their strength in last night's battle, and the remaining dragons would never dare to fly into the sky again.
Su Chen could only sigh in his heart, although he had always wanted to establish his own air force, but time was still not enough after all.
Even if he got the Obsidian Destroyer's manufacturing method in Angela. But there is still no time to make it.
In fact, the military industry of the human kingdom has always been not developed, and even many conventional weapons and armor are purchased from the dwarves. If you want to create your own Obsidian Destroyer, it will probably take a long time.
"Look at the sky!" Crassus next to him looked solemn.
Everyone looked in the direction he was pointing, and saw that surrounded by a group of bone dragons, a huge floating city was flying towards Dalaran.
Su Chen's heart sank, he had already seen this floating city before, it was the one that Kel'thugad had taken to the tomb of Galakron.
Now that even Kel'thugad has arrived, it seems that the Undead Scourge is indeed preparing for a fierce battle to the end.
The Scourge of the Dead, the massive floating city began to stop. Levitating not far from Dalaran, he began to bombard the defensive barrier on Dalaran's periphery with various dark magics.
The defensive barrier, which was already crumbling under the siege of many gargoyles and bone dragons, was even more fragile at the moment, as if it would be blasted at any moment.
"It seems that we can only rely on the Dragon Sleep Temple to defend to the death, but I am afraid that this will have to abandon the city of Dalaran and let the mages retreat to the Dragon Sleep Temple." Crassus sighed.
Su Chen couldn't help but perk up when he heard this. It seems that the Temple of Dragon Sleep really has some secrets.
However, it would be too wasteful to abandon the city of Dalaran just now, you must know that it is the work of many mages, and it can almost be said to be the highest magical achievement of mankind.
It is estimated that Mordran and the others will never agree to give up the city of Dalaran easily.
When the order to retreat came, the paladins began to cover each other and retreat back to the Dragon Sleep Temple in an orderly manner, the losses of the Silver Hand Knights in this battle have reached nearly a thousand, and the rest of them are also in urgent need of rest, otherwise even if they can force the battle with this faith and the power of the Holy Light, they will eventually cause great damage to their bodies.
However, as expected, Mordran and Ronin and the others refused to give up the city of Dalaran, and only began to slowly descend this huge floating city, but at this moment, the vicinity of the Dragon Sleeping Temple was already full of undead armies.
"Don't these guys even want their lives......" Su Chen was already frowning, he naturally couldn't watch Modlan and the others fall into the army of the undead, that would almost cause the human mage inheritance to suffer a devastating blow.
"We must rescue the mages and find a way to retreat to the Temple of Dragon's Sleep before the defensive barrier is breached." Su Chen said in a deep voice, and at the same time, he had pulled out the sorrow of frost and was ready to go into battle in person. (To be continued.) )
