Chapter 1686: Pressing Step by Step (Second Shift)
Anastrian and Dranos threw themselves into the Scourge Legion, and the hardest hit was naturally the Horde.
One of them controls the Tribe's magical communication network, the other is the Lord's Father is the highest military commander under Thrall, and in many cases, Varok is the one who controls the most armies in the Tribe.
Unfortunately, with the Northrend Tribal army directly turning into a state of rest, and the tribe hurriedly changing the communication system, in a sense, Arthas did not get much useful information.
The Alliance has always defended the Horde, let alone the Forsaken with a direct vendetta. If it weren't for Duke holding him down here, Sylvanas would have been in trouble with the Forsaken over there. If Duke gives a little hint again, Queen Xi will use the power of the whole country to pull the Night Elves together to wipe out the Forsaken.
In fact, what Alsace wants most is the magic net.
Without the magic net, the strength of the alliance's mages would have dropped by at least fifty percent. The Scourge Legion is not a mage who has never killed the Alliance, looking at the appearance of a certain mage in front of his life, the big fireball is thrown in a row without money. As soon as he became a lich, he stopped cooking.
The magic net gave the alliance mages too much support, almost to the point of changing shotguns. As long as the overflowing spiritual power is injected as the energy for the operation of the magic net in peacetime, the elements can be used almost infinitely in wartime without exceeding the upper limit of their own endurance.
There was no need to even communicate with the elemental realm, all the elements had already been filtered, purified, and stabilized in the magic net in advance. As long as the mage completes the final step of elemental shaping, he will be able to complete an attack spell that far exceeds his own combat power level.
The magic net is the lifeblood of Duke, and it is also directly under Duke.
If you don't have the magic ability to surpass Duke, you can't grab it at all.
Speaking of building something similar to the magic net to compete with the magic net......
It's a pity that even with the presence of the two magic masters, Malygos and Anastrian, the magic net belonging to the Scourge Legion still can't be created.
That's where the madness of Alsace comes in.
No way, although Holy Light and Shadow are two independent elemental energies, they are pure spiritual attribute energies. There is no separate elemental realm independent of the main plane.
Among the four elements, if you want to get more elements, you must have higher permissions. On their side, except for Arthas, who has a certain amount of authority in the Water Elemental Realm, the other two are none.
The strength of the Sun King has not stepped into the Divine Domain, so it is needless to say.
Malygos still had a little authority, but unfortunately, with him being cut in half, not only did he lose his authority, but even the Titan runes were lost, and it was useless to control the arcane energy extended by the Titan energy.
So Arthas's only hope is to build a Frost Elemental Web and banish Duke's net completely.
As a result, after the Horde retreated, the battle between the coalition and the Scourge Legion became the magical leyline node on the Icecrown Glacier.
The previous Vault of Shadows was one, and the Scourge City was another, and the remaining nodes were not exactly symmetrical on the map, and their locations were quite recognizable, as the Scourge had built strong fortifications on them early.
They are: the archetypal vault to the north of the Gate of Desolation Ordusa, the vault to the west of the Gate of Death, Modresa, and the Dark Cathedral and Icecrown Glacier itself.
They are not only the battleground of soldiers, but also the node of the magical leylines.
Everyone knows that this is the case, and it depends on who can seize the opportunity.
Every day, as long as there is a little magic sensing ability, you can feel that Arthas is expanding a new network of frost elemental energy with the Icecrown Fortress as the center.
Conversely, Duke also strengthens the leylines in Scourge City and the Vault of Shadows to the north, using it as a new node for the web.
On March 20, Duke came to inspect the city of natural disasters.
The City of the Scourge has been burned to the ground, and although the Red Dragon Legion has purified it with flames, no one dares to guarantee that in some corner of the city, there is a remnant of plague gas.
At this time, it is time for non-human creatures and mechanical creations to appear.
The ruins of the dilapidated city are filled with patrolling fire demons and mechanical gnomes commanding mechanical creatures such as mechanical spiders and tanks.
Duke supported his feet in the wind, and with the frost shield on, he made his way to the center of the city.
The huge ghost tower that once existed here had been dismantled for the first time, and was replaced by a Titan Circle composed of countless golden Titan runes.
Seeing Duke arrive, Exotus, the manager of Duke's elemental emissary, hurried to meet him.
"Master!" he bowed.
He once served the Firedemon Ragnaros, but now he is fully adapted to his identity.
It's rare to have a chance for him to play, so he naturally does his best to do a good job.
"How's it going?" asked Duke.
"It wasn't ideal at first, but with their help, we've been able to catch up. "The 'they' that Xosotus refers to are naturally those water elementals who help next to the Titan Rune Circle. These water elementals are huge, at least three stories tall.
Interestingly, it is clear that water and fire are incompatible, and the water elements and fire demons have maintained restraint.
Duke smiled.
What he is doing now is digging up the roots of Alsace.
It would be thankless to simply introduce the flame element of the fire elemental realm and try to change the elemental ratio of this continent that was already covered in ice and snow.
Swapping Xotus for Ragnaros, the Firelord of Fire, might still have a chance to succeed.
So Duke gave up the simple confrontation and called in the Hydahya water elemental instead.
As creatures of the water elemental realm, the Hydaxia water elementals do not like Ragnaros, nor do they like water elementals or water elemental beings who are polluted by the dark forces of Arthas.
Duke easily came to an agreement with Duke Hydasis once again, and the water elemental of Hydaxia would help drain the overflowing frost elemental from Icecrown, and then Xotus and the Red Dragon Legion would join forces to disrupt the magical leylines of the Icecrown region.
This kind of digging up the root and cutting off the source is the most hurtful.
Duke was not in a hurry to let the alliance advance the front, and just like a noose, slowly, slowly shaving off Alsace's wings.
The last time they were attacked by Alsace, the coalition lost a lot. This time Duke learned to be obedient. Shadow Vault and Scourge City were heavily armed, and the rest of the city was evacuated from the main forces, leaving only symbolic defenses, and all of them were mechanical gnomes and mechanical dwarves.
You have the ability to turn these robots into undead creatures!
In the Vault of Shadows, in addition to the Knights of the Black Blade, there are now the four guards of Al Kavon, plus Hodir, Onexia, Vasqui, and Karegoth.
