Chapter 251 -251 Quel’Danas Defense Battle (Part 1)
The High Elves of Quel’Danas, or the Blood Elves as they were otherwise known, were the only racial forces the Salvation Army had failed to incorporate, although the Human Alliance’s army did have High Elf Mages, these High Elves had long been outcasts from Quel’Danas, branded as “Traitor Elves”. Most of them were descendants of Elves who had lived among humans or had supported Soladin in the old days — they were mixed-blood with humans. Aside from their inherent Elf characteristics, they now completely identified themselves as humans. Meanwhile, the Quel’Danas’s Blood Elves were the true “Pure Blood” High Elves led by Prince Kaelthas, a proud race that originally provided the Human Alliance with limited arcane support merely due to ancient covenants. However, when Kaelthas was disgracefully sent back to his homeland (don’t be surprised, in this world, although Illidan exists, because the Fallen Apostles seized control from the Burning Legion before its formal operation, and the first Undead Catastrophe tragically turned into a poorly finished farce, our unfortunate Dan Dan is still imprisoned by his elder brother, locked up in jail staring at Ma Wei; thus Kaelthas’ destiny was to be sent back to Elf Kingdom rather than seek asylum with Dan Dan or simply be disappeared by Kil’Jaeden), and Arthas, once a prince of humans, led the Undead Army to destroy much of the Elf Kingdom, an absolute opposition formed between the Blood Elves and the Alliance. When the Human Alliance joined the Salvation Army, these proud Elves outright refused our invitation.
That was unexpected at the time, but upon reflection, it made sense, given the high pride of the Elf race. Blood Elves from this world were no exception; they were adept in magic, using arcane research to discern the nature of this world. The learned Blood Elf star mages had even grasped the concept of constant stars, resembling scientists in the magic world, where vast knowledge often destroys faith. Their own power and mastery over arcane magic far outweighed their devotions to any deity. Looking at the history of High Elves, whether it was using the Eternal Well during the Ancient Era to invite the first Burning Invasion, or under Illidan’s leadership, ignoring Malfurion’s warnings to rebuild and overextend the arcana, causing the Magic Storm in Gray Valley, or the historical event where Kaelthas rebuilt the Sun Well and summoned Kil’Jaeden, their fanaticism for magic clearly overshadowed their reverence for the world and the gods. Different from their distant relatives, who were gentle and non-confrontational with the universe, the Blood Elves of this world were a restless and unruly race, having a weak faith.
This directly led to our inability to persuade such a beautiful group of men and women.
Of course, our failure to perform a “miracle” in Silver Moon City also played a part; in any case, it seemed foolish for humans, who had just banished their prince, to send envoys to “invite” these arrogant Elves to join the Alliance Army.
Regardless, the failure to include the Blood Elves in the Salvation Army was a mistake in our initial planning.
But this time, we seemed to have found an opportunity.
Sylvanas could control lower-level undead creatures, and the Catastrophe Army had not placed high-level troops in an unimportant place like Ghost Land. If we could utilize Sylvanas’ Undead Race Skill to take control of the entire undead wave in Ghost Land, we could not only defuse the crisis but also use the million cannon fodder for a stunning counterattack—an idea almost too good to be true.
Initially, this idea was just a good thought since Sylvanas’ power was limited, after all; controlling millions in the Undead Army wasn’t as simple as merely commanding it. Apart from Northrend’s Ice Brother—who of course, had now thawed—I had never heard of anyone else achieving such a feat.
However, Sylvanas proposed her idea: by using the Magic Net that pervaded all of Azeroth and integrating her spirit within it, she could significantly enhance her Spiritual Control and lead the million undead. Although it wasn’t possible to control all the undead on the Eastern Continent, seizing control of the undead closest to the Magic Net nodes in Ghost Land was plausible.
And the nearest Magic Net node was naturally in the magically advanced Blood Elf Kingdom—Quel’Danas.
“How likely is this to succeed?” I asked with a serious expression, the Magic Net was something I had heard about these days. According to research by Xyrin Technicians, this wondrous energy system permeated the entire world, facilitating the operation and distribution of all magic elements, not only on Azeroth Planet but even in other star systems in the universe. It was a vast and precise Magic Net, the energy carriers of the entire world, omnipresent like gravity, and foundational to the operation of this world. To merge her spiritual power into the Magic Net for power enhancement far beyond mortal limits was indeed a mad idea. Even the most fanatical Blood Elf Arcane Masters merely studied the Magic Net and carefully extracted energy from it—none dared risk the complete dispersal of their soul by merging their spiritual power with it.
“estroying faith
Sylvanas was well aware of the risks, “I don’t know, no one has ever attempted it, but it’s a shortcut, and we don’t have time to waste.”
I quietly looked into her eyes, glowing red, and sighed, “Alright, we can try, but be extremely careful. I’ll halt the ritual if necessary, so be prepared.”
“That would be best,” Sylvanas stood up, “I’ll go prepare.”
As Sylvanas left, we began discussing the quickest route from here to Quel’Danas’ Defense Barrier.
I had a hunch that Sylvanas’ intentions might not be so simple. Apparently, her other idea was to save her former homeland.
Even though she was now an undead, even though her heart had ceased beating, even though the blood of the High Elves within her had cooled and congealed, Sylvanas still could not forget her homeland. In this uprising of the undead, Quel’Danas was inevitably affected. For the Blood Elf Kingdom, which was already largely depopulated, surviving three days amid the sudden surge of the Undead Army would seem a miracle.
If we were to use the Magic Net nodes of Quel’Danas to control the Undead Army in Ghost Land, we would certainly need to aid those Blood Elves.
This also fit perfectly with my plan. If we could use this opportunity to bring the Blood Elves to our side, that would undoubtedly be a tremendous boon. Although their current strength was much reduced, their profound knowledge of arcane magic was still a significant intangible asset.
The plan to send troops to support Quel’Danas was unanimously approved by us, and representatives of various races also supported this plan. In fact, aside from the Night Elves and their distant relatives, the Blood Elves, who had a series of historical grievances, there was no animosity between the Blood Elves and other races of the Azeroth—a notable exception being the Trolls, which could create some awkwardness after the integration of the Blood Elves.

The second awkwardness, naturally, was the humans, whom the Blood Elves now despised to their very bones.
To my slight surprise, the humans did not oppose this plan. However, upon reflection, I found it quite reasonable. After all, the breakdown between the Blood Elves and the Human Alliance could be largely attributed to that arrogant fool Garithos. And most humans did not dislike the Blood Elves (though the feelings were not mutual…), especially at such a critical time. Anyone with sense should be able to see the bigger picture. Knowing that the primary fault for the departure of the Blood Elves lay with them, the human representatives, despite knowing the huge rift that existed, did not oppose the plan.
That human Holy Knight named Victor, though still extremely unpleasant and extreme in his attitude towards the undead, was at least smarter when it came to dealing with the Blood Elves.
The final selection of those who would go to support Quel’Danas was decided; Pandora and I, as the strongest dps, naturally made the list, as did Alaya for her powerful divine energy. Then there was Sivis, who specialized in battlefield command; she would stay aboard the warship, responsible for commanding the entire battle.
In this regard, Lin Xue’s exact words were, “An idiot who can’t even understand the most basic infantry formation, a hot-blooded fool who knows nothing but to charge, a Dull Cat Angel who could trip over flat ground—if there wasn’t someone genuinely smart to play the role of the brain, they’d probably flatten the whole of Quel’Danas before the undead even attacked.”
To further balance our “severe deficit in collective IQ,” this troublesome aggregation even volunteered to join our team.
Personally, I think this is a huge tragedy, and what’s more tragic is that I have absolutely no way to deal with this domineering girl.
“Miss here is only helping because she feels sorry for you lot!” Lin Xue said with her typical arrogance.
Aside from us and Sylvanas, who was bound to follow, Qianqian and Sandora would stay at the base, ready to confront the millions of Undead Catastrophe likely to launch their attack at any moment. Their task was not to eliminate these enemies (which was not so difficult), but rather to delay them as much as possible until we gained control over these countless cannon fodders. At that point, the situation would be completely reversed…
