Chapter 443: The Second Defense of Quel'Thalas (I)

Arthas looked up at the sky. He still had one regret in his life, and that was Jaina. Arthas liked Jaina, but it seemed that Jaina didn't like him. But it didn't matter. As a prince, he never expected to have his own marriage, and being able to marry her should be the best ending. What made him happy about the work of eradicating the plague was the appearance of Jaina, and Jaina had the opportunity to accompany him. But she refused in the end, so if there was a chance, he would kill her with his own hands and turn her into his own undead toy.

Arthas felt that he didn't owe her anything, and now he only obeyed the orders of the Lich King. There is no doubt that it was that beautiful and resolute person who even made him doubt the correctness of his choice at that moment. But now it's all in the past, and now, Arthas is facing a beautiful figure. Arthas's goal is not to completely destroy Quel'Thalas and its inhabitants. If they give up resistance, Arthas will let them go. It's not his fault that half of Quel'Thalas was destroyed, it was all their own stubbornness.

The rain seeped into the seams of his armor, and the clothes and soft armor under the metal plate armor became wet and cold, but Arthas didn't feel it at all. After a while, the last few meat grinders were installed and rumbled by, and Arthas's action could begin.

There is a tall tower between Sylvanas Fortress and Silvermoon City. During the patrol, for some reason, Sylvanas always felt that the undead would come out from there to kill.

"Hey, what are you thinking about? My sister is still fighting bravely in the fortress."

Sylvanas touched her hair, which was a little hot. Her mental state has not been very good these days. Then she drank some water to calm down. She stood up and summoned all the soldiers who could still move to continue the patrol. Even though they were in the rear area, they had to patrol according to the regulations. The soldiers of Quel'Thalas were not lazy! The first goal was to go to the tower over there to take a look.

However, when Sylvanas led the rangers to march towards the tower, a sweet and fresh air was accompanied by the stench of decay. The mounted archers circled in the sky on their dragon eagles. These golden and red giants twisted their snake-like heads unhappily and tied their reins tightly. These beautiful animals also smelled death. They had never faced such a bad situation before, and this smell made them uneasy. Sylvanas had been on the front line for a long time, and she immediately realized that this was the smell of the undead, and she responded.

"Undead are found!" She said to her men calmly, and they all nodded. "Everyone, take your positions! Get ready for battle!"

The soldiers immediately followed the order, and the dragon eagle riders flew to the south where the enemy was attacking, followed by a team of archers and melee soldiers, who would form the first line of defense. Her best archers rushed up the spiral ramp of the tower, while the rest lined up on the bottom floor of the building. They didn't have to wait long before the enemy appeared.

Endless enemies, with all kinds of siege equipment. This was not a small group of enemies, but a large army of enemies! Sylvanas saw the familiar figure, Arthas. Why! Why didn't anyone send any news? How did they get through the barrier?

There was no time to think about it. This place was definitely undefendable. Sylvanas jumped down from the battlefield and said, "Retreat! Retreat to Silvermoon City!"

Sylvanas grabbed the fastest soldier by the collar and shouted to him, "Retreat to Silvermoon City immediately and ask for reinforcements! This is the main force of the Scourge. We can't stop them!"

"Yes!"

How did they get here? Sylvanas ran back with gritted teeth. Such a large number of enemies was definitely not something Silvermoon City could defend. Since the main force of the coalition army went to Alterac, the defense of Sylvanas Fortress was handed over to the Loki Army, but Loki had limited manpower. In order to prevent the country from being threatened by the undead, the royal family of Quel'Thalas sent most of its troops to the front line. There were only more than a thousand soldiers in Silvermoon City. All they could do now was to hold on for a while longer so that the people of Silvermoon City could use the hearthstone to leave as many as possible. As a defender, they might...may all die...

What makes Sylvanas despair is the number of undead. After several battles on the front line, Sylvanas can already estimate the number of undead by sight, at least more than 5,000, and there are more than 30 engineering vehicles. Quel'Thalas does not have a dragon...

Most of these soldiers were recruited by Arthas when he entered this area. Arthas adopted a strategy of concentrating troops to surround the three places of the Key of March. As long as there is a cemetery along the way, the remains in the cemetery will become Arthas's soldiers. With a complete blockade and the leak of the insider, the Key of March was successfully obtained by Arthas, and no one escaped. The guarding soldiers also became Arthas's new slaves. Using the Key of March, the barrier of Silvermoon City was broken once again.

Sylvanas returned to Silvermoon City. Silvermoon City was now in chaos, and some of the guards had to be assigned to maintain the order of the city. Standing on the city wall, Sylvanas quietly waited for the arrival of the undead army.

"General! His Majesty Anasritaan will retreat soon!" The fastest soldier just now ran back again.

"Why?" Sylvanas looked at him puzzled.

"His Majesty Anasritaan said that he is the monarch of Quel'Thalas and he will live and die with Silvermoon City."

Sylvanas looked at him and suddenly laughed. He patted his shoulder and said, "Since our king is so determined, then we can't fall behind. Let's face our destiny."

The destiny that Sylvanas mentioned did not take long to wait. The undead creatures attacked. They did not stop and went straight to Silvermoon City to kill them. Silvermoon City didn't have high walls like the two previous fortresses, nor did it have proper defense facilities, so it was easy for the undead to climb up the walls. Sylvanas knew clearly that if they climbed up the walls, the city would be undefendable, and soon, the undead would enter through the main gate, and they would probably be finished...

Sylvanas suddenly laughed, and when despair approached her, an ancient song actually echoed in her mind. She used to like to sing this song with her sisters, how beautiful the world was at that time, and they were all gathered together. Aurelia, Veresa and their little brother Lilas, they sang in the dusk, the lavender twilight reflected on their awnings, the air was filled with the sweet fragrance of sea water and flowers, and now, she was the only one left here...
