[Chapter 134: VIPs from Silvermoon City]
David didn’t know what was going on, but he felt very happy.
He cast such a powerful holy light spell, and the holy light power in his body not only did not dry up, but became even more powerful and full.
If his mind was not still clear, he would have been addicted to this state and unwilling to wake up, making the holy light in his body even more powerful.
He opened his eyes and stopped the spell.
The strange scene on the battlefield did not change because David stopped. The world was still filled with a large amount of holy light. Under the illumination of the holy light, the high elves of Quel’Thalas recovered some of their combat power.
Although the arrows and arcane spells consumed could not be restored, there was no problem with their bodies. Whether it was the damage suffered or the consumption of physical energy, they were restored to their peak under the vast amount of holy light.
In addition, the undead creatures of the Scourge were greatly affected by the holy light, and their combat effectiveness dropped by several levels.
All these changes made the already collapsed Quel’Thalas defense line gradually stabilized.
Arthas, who noticed this change, realized that this attack had failed.
After using all his strength to force back the annoying paladin, Arthas glanced coldly at David not far away, and then looked at Jaina who had just got off the griffin.
After that, he mounted the undead warhorse next to him, quickly released a high and thick ice wall, blocked all the pursuers including Steve, and quickly evacuated the battlefield.
As Arthas retreated, the Scourge also left this area full of holy light energy one after another, but there were still a large number of ghouls and undead soldiers who were purified by the holy light and bid farewell to this world completely.
“Is that Arthas?” Steve looked at the hard, cold ice wall that exuded the breath of death, and sighed helplessly: “It’s really strong, I can hardly cause any harm to him.”
“No, in fact, you have already caused harm to him, but he concealed it very well.”
Although Steve has obtained the powerful power of the holy light, he is not familiar with some extraordinary situations after all, and he still habitually relies on his eyes to observe and judge.
In fact, facing Steve, who is highly recognized by the holy light and vaguely cared for by Elune, Arthas is also very uncomfortable.
After David released a huge amount of holy light and created a field of holy light, Arthas’s condition became worse. It felt like a living creature was soaked in concentrated acid. Even without other attacks, his body was still suffering, and the death power in his body was constantly “melted” by the holy light.
This was also the fundamental reason why Arthas decisively chose to retreat – since the Scourge swept across Lordaeron, this was the first time Arthas took the initiative to retreat.
While the two were talking, the high elf warriors who survived on the battlefield had gathered.
These high elves of Quel’Thalas were particularly arrogant and did not look down on ordinary humans.
But the people they looked down on definitely did not include the two powerful holy light users in front of them.
Whether it was the paladin who could fight against Arthas’s powerful death knight; or the young priest who released a holy light spell like a miracle.
What’s more, these two were the saviors of all the high elves present. Priests like Liadrin expressed their gratitude while also showing their respect for the two very directly.
Of course, Steve noticed that most of the respect from these elven priests was directed at David.
“The Scourge is the enemy of all living beings, and rescuing our comrades is what we should do.” David looked at the high elves who had recovered their strength but were still in a state of embarrassment: “We will not sit idly by and watch our comrades die at the hands of the Scourge.”
At first, he just wanted to find out the location of Arthas.
As for delivering a letter to Quel’Thalas and facilitating the reunion of Lordaeron and Quel’Thalas, it was all Jaina’s task, and he just followed to watch the fun.
He never expected that he and others would come at such a coincidence, and saw that Arthas was about to stab Sylvanas to death.
According to David’s memory, the death of Sylvanas meant the complete collapse of Quel’Thalas’s defense line. The Scourge then destroyed Silvermoon City, and then landed on the island of Quel’Danas and killed the king of Quel’Thalas, Anasterian Sunstrider.
Finally, he used the Sunwell on the island to resurrect Kel’Thuzad and transformed Kel’Thuzad into a lich, completing the first half of the task assigned to him by the Lich King.
In other words, unless David decided to ride his griffin back to Hearthglen, he could only stop Arthas to prevent the destruction of Quel’Thalas, which led to what just happened.
“No matter what, you saved Quel’Thalas and saved countless high elves…” Sylvanas looked around and realized that she was the highest-ranking person present. She needed to express her gratitude to David and Steve on behalf of Quel’Thalas: “You will be friends of Quel’Thalas forever.”
As for the matter of representing the Kingdom of Lordaeron to negotiate an alliance, this matter actually does not need to be discussed.
Even if you don’t ask King Anasterian Sunstrider, Sylvanas can give a positive answer now.
The Scourge has arrived at the gate of Silvermoon City. At present, it is only forced back by David’s use of Holy Light. The Death Knight Arthas, who has fallen into the undead spirit, will attack Quel’Thalas again at any time.
At this time, Quel’Thalas needs allies and foreign aid, otherwise Sylvanas has no confidence in defending her country.
After all, the Scourge is too terrible.
It’s not just Arthas’s powerful strength, but also the kind of shock when you are fighting with the enemy with all your heart and soul, and suddenly find that the comrade who was fighting side by side with you in the previous second is standing on the opposite side and waving a weapon at you in the next second.
At the same time, waving a sword at a close comrade is also a painful and torturous thing.
Sylvanas looked around and saw that there were many fewer familiar faces in the team. She knew that those faces had either turned into undead creatures and left with Arthas temporarily, or bid farewell to this world forever in the spell cast by the powerful priest named David.
Perhaps, the latter is a kind of relief, both for them and for herself.
Leaving some elven rangers to clean up the battlefield and arrange defensive positions, Sylvanas took David, Steve and Jaina to the palace of Silvermoon City – Grace-Serden rode a griffin back to Hearthglen to report the situation.
Entering Silvermoon City, the city of high elves, David looked at this familiar but vast and magnificent city, and a special emotion rose in his heart.
Before crossing to the Brunnia continent, he was a blood elf, that is, a high elf, in the nostalgic server. Silvermoon City was a place he was very familiar with, not to mention that it was the first main city he saw with his own eyes after coming to Azeroth.
“What a pity, I missed Stormwind.”
Following Sylvanas, David soon arrived at the square in front of the palace. To David’s surprise, the current king of Quel’Thalas, Anasterian Sunstrider, was actually standing in the square in front of the palace waiting for him.
“Thank you very much for your rescue, and Quel’Thalas will be your friend forever.” After meeting, Anasterian Sunstrider directly expressed his goodwill to David.
As the king of Quel’Thalas, Anasterian is known for his pragmatism and his priority for the interests of Quel’Thalas. Even without mentioning David’s rescue, Anasterian, who is just like a miracle of holy light, would express considerable goodwill.
And if it weren’t for David and Steve’s actions today, Silvermoon City might have fallen by now.
Anasterian, with white hair and obviously weak and old, greeted Steve and Jaina in a gentle tone.
“I already know your intentions. I agree that the Scourge is the greatest enemy of all living beings in Azeroth.” Anasterian’s words directly settled the matter of the Alliance, without even reading the letter handed over by Jaina.
After His Majesty the King finished reading the letter, Anasterian began to consider how to establish a perfect communication mechanism with Tirion Fordring of the Kingdom of Lordaeron.
Of course, there was no need to bother David or Jaina and others with such matters. The old king arranged the best treatment for them, and sincerely invited them to stay in Silvermoon City for a few more days, and asked Sylvanas, who was temporarily staying in the city to rest, to entertain them.
“What should we do now?” Steve, who was confusedly persuaded by the old king to stay, looked at David next to him: “Stay here?”
“It doesn’t matter. Since His Majesty the King sincerely invites us to stay, let’s stay for a few more days!” David chose from several fruits for a long time, and finally picked up an apple: “Besides, the situation in Silvermoon City is really not very good. If we leave, Arthas may be able to break through Silvermoon City immediately.”
Although Anasterian asked Sylvanas to entertain their guests, Sylvanas, as a ranger general, also had a lot of things to deal with. It was impossible for her to stay by the side of several people like a servant.
So at this time, there were only David, Steve, and Jaina here.
David took a bite of the apple and was very satisfied with the sweet and delicious fruits in Silvermoon City. He looked at Jaina, who had become unusually silent since meeting Arthas, and finally shook his head, thinking that this mermaid might not be counted on.
“Sorry!” Although Jaina was silent and a little uneasy, she did not ignore the situation around her.
After taking a few deep breaths and adjusting her mentality, Jaina apologized to David: “If I had joined in earlier, maybe…”
“Don’t blame yourself. Even if you had helped, you wouldn’t have been able to kill Arthas today.” David paused and glanced out the window: “If the prophet is willing to help, there is still a chance…”
It should be available at noon today… The update will be released in advance, so hurry up and read it~
