In Silver Moon City, in the city defense command hall, Ranger General Sylvanas Wind Walker and her adjutant Rothema Theron, as well as more than a dozen senior commanders of the remaining Rangers, as well as the captain of the Silver Moon City Guards, and representatives of the garrisoned mages held a pre-war preparation meeting here.
"Tell me what we should do now. The Ranger Scout just came to report that the army of undead has bypassed Silver Moon City, as if ready to cross the sea from the bay of the Western Temple to Zhuri Island! According to their current course of action, they must have planned to cross the strait from Zhuri Island to attack the Sunwell Highlands on Quildanas Island! From this point of view, the previous judgment of the Parliament and the King is correct, and the target of the undead is indeed our Sunwell!"
Sylvanas, sitting in the main seat, spoke first. After returning from Little Anne, she began to send people to summon officers and began this combat meeting.
In less than half a day, all the feedback from the Rangers and Scouts was bad news! Qingfeng Village was destroyed, the Western Temple was razed to the ground, and no grass grew where the undead passed. On the originally beautiful land of Quel'thalas, a shocking and huge and dark scar appeared!
Now, the only good news she got was: the powerful demigod wizard, Little Annie had promised her that she could provide some necessary help to the elves when she was defending the city, which added a little more to the Ranger's confidence in successfully defending Yinyue City!
After all, in Silver Moon City, there are a large number of mage towers and protective magic circles connected in parallel, and a massive amount of magic energy provided by the Sun Well. Under the full protection and protection of the city defense and the ranger troops, a mage demigod who stays in the city can definitely exert his terrifying strength, right?
"I don't think there is too much worry about this! The undead don't have enough ships to cross the sea! When the king and the parliament were stationed in the Sunwell Heights, they had taken away a large number of military transport ships from Yangfan Port. Now they are all in the waters near Queldanas Island!" A high-level mage of the mage stood up and began to express his opinion.
"If it was the port on the other side of the Tower of Darth Viather, I might be a little worried. After all, there are quite a few civilian ships there! But now the undead are in the Western Temple. I am afraid that all the ships they can find are not enough to have ten ships? Take this little ship to transport troops. When will they transport them? Perhaps, we can wait until this time next year to prepare for battle?" After laughing, the high-level mage nodded and greeted everyone, then sat back on his own position arrogantly.
Sylvanas didn't care about the attitude of these mages. These mages have always been like this. She is not in the mood to accuse him of arrogance anymore. It's important to have a meeting now! Moreover, she doesn't agree with the idea of ​​this idiot just now. The undead is definitely not as easy as he imagined. The number of their numbers and the replenishment of soldiers at any time and anywhere are enough to push everything! She must be vigilant at all times, otherwise, the high elves may be doomed!
"Does anyone have any opinions? Just say anything!"
Sylvanas was not as optimistic as the arrogant mage. Instead, she always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't think of something wrong! The prince of the human, the current Death Knight, could not have thought of this situation. So, why did he run to the bay of the Western Temple again? What exactly did he want to do?
"General, since the undead are not planning to attack Silver Moon City now, should we send some troops to reinforce the Sunwell Highland?" At this time, a captain of the Rangers' troops stood up and expressed his own opinions.
"Absolutely not possible! In Silver Moon City, including the militia recruited just now, there are less than 3,000 people in total! In addition to the original Sunwell Guard, there are nearly half of the Rangers troops, most of the high-level mages, almost all members of the parliament, and the vast majority of the Royal Guards, and even His Majesty the King is still there! Their guard power is more than ten times that of ours! What's the use of us to reinforce?"
Without thinking, Sylvanas rejected the Ranger Captain’s proposal! What a joke, the guardian power of Silver Moon City is now very weak! She wants to defend a Silver Moon City with a population of 200,000. She still thinks that this amount of troops is small, so how could she still divide the troops?
Besides, it’s still a little bit about whether the real purpose of the undead is Sunwell. All this is just their guess! What if the undead comes to Sun-Chasing Island and attacks Silver Moon City? Can that narrow shoal stop the undead?
If it weren't for not seeing what the undead could have crossed the sea now, Sylvanas almost wanted to send someone to blow up the cross-sea bridge outside the northwest gate of Yinyue City in advance, so as to save the undead from using it to attack Yinyue City!
"I also disagree to divide the troops to support again! The magic defense of the Sunwell Highlands cannot be broken! We just need to wait for the news of His Majesty the King's victory and triumphant success in Silver Moon City!"
The high-level mage who had just spoken stood up again and added. In his opinion, there was no need for reinforcements at all. The army and magic defense on Queldanas Island were enough to completely eliminate the undead! How many people can their undead be transported at a time? Perhaps the twenty or so warships of the navy can be used to fight them into the sea to feed the fish! He even thought curiously, not knowing whether those fishmen who are never picky about food eat skeletons and zombies?
"General, I think it's better for you to send someone to inform the residents and guards of Zhuri Island now. Although you don't know when the undead will start crossing the sea, it's better to let them take some precautions in advance!" The high-level priest Leadlin, who had been silent, stood up and expressed her opinion for the first time.
"Okay! Lothama, leave this matter to you for a while! After that, you set out to stay on Zhuri Island. If you can't defend it, you will withdraw everyone back to Yinyue City!"
Sylvanas turned around and assigned a mission to Lothama on the side. He was now the lord of the ranger and no longer her adjutant. He should leave this kind of independent thing to do. He should be clear about whether to withdraw or defend.
Sylvanas had just assigned a mission, and before Rothema could respond, a dusty ranger scout rushed into the conference room under the guidance of two guards.
"General! It's a big deal! It's that magic sword! The Death Knight used the magic sword to slash an ice bridge directly to Zhuri Island on the sea. The undead rushed to Zhuri Island through the ice surface!"
The female ranger scout was covered with scars from the thorns of branches and landslides, and even two bloody wounds on her white and beautiful face, but now she no longer cared about these.
"And! The captain asked me to tell you a message: there are elves in the undead team! A living elves! A traitor among us!"
"What?!"
Sylvanas was so shocked that she took it! Sure enough, she knew that this would be the case! She knew that the Death Knight led the army of the undead to the Western Temple, which must have had a conspiracy! She knew that something was wrong with the Elf Gate being easily broken!
It's true now! Everything has been proven! Traitor! There is also the Ice Bridge! He actually has the ability to directly create a bridge across the strait on the sea? Is this still the power that mortals should have?
"How many residents are there on Zhuri Island? How many guards are there?" Knowing the seriousness of the matter, Sylvanas quickly asked Lothama who had not had time to go out.
"This..., if I remember correctly, the small villages on Faserlin Academy and the Sun Tower combined have about 10,000 residents, and the defenders may be less than fifty..."
Speaking of this, Rothema's face began to turn pale. He knew that most of the tribesmen on Zhuri Island were dead! According to the tireless speed of the undead, and then calculate the time for the scouts to return to report the message. Maybe, the undead may have already attacked Zhuri Island now!
"Lorthema! Now you will immediately lead a thousand rangers to reinforce and guard the northwest gate of Silver Moon City, and then quickly send someone to install magical explosives on the cross-sea bridge. Once the undead signs of attacking Silver Moon City, blow up the bridge immediately! Now, go now!"
The Ranger General stood up from her position, his face as ferocious as a little scary! She never expected that the undead would have such incredible means! It seems that Quelthalas had lost tens of thousands of tribe members on the Sun Island! Sooner or later, she would have to figure out this blood feud with the undead! That damn Alsace!
"As for order!" Lothama knew the seriousness of the matter. He did not dare to delay any more, and immediately stood up and ran outside.
"Wait! If, if possible, try to help those tribe members who escaped by chance, go!" As if losing all the strength in his body, Sylvanas closed his eyes and sat back on his main seat.
"I'll help him too!" After seeing his lover Rothema running out, Leadlin also stood up, and without waiting for the Ranger General to show any more, he trotted and followed him out.
"Felendre! You immediately dispatch half of the mages to the Northwest Gate, and then prepare to hand over the authority of the mage tower in the center of Silver Moon City. When the situation is urgent, let us the elf guests use it!" After seeing Rothama and Leaderin go out, Sylvanas began to make the final arrangements.
"General Sylvanas! I firmly object to it! That was just a little girl, and he was also a little human girl of unknown origin! She was not our high elf! How could she give such an important mage tower in the city defense center to her for use? Who knows what she would do?"
The advanced mage Frandre stood up from his position all of a sudden. He was unwilling to accept this outrageous order! This Ranger General actually wanted to give the most important defense center of Silver Moon City to a human of unknown origin? How could she have such an idea? This is equivalent to handing over the fate of all the elves into the hands of a human of unknown origin!
"If you Ferundrey is a demigod, or if your ability is enough to protect Silver Moon City, I will accept your objection! If you can't, then, do it now according to my orders! Now!"
Sylvanas stared at the mage in front of him coldly, and unconsciously pressed the short sword on his waist with his left hand. She had thought about this problem before, but now she had no choice but to trust unconditionally! It is now in a war period, and as long as the mage in front of him dares to say a word, she will take him directly.
"Ha! Well, you are the highest commander in Silver Moon City now, and I will unconditionally execute your orders! However, I reserve the right to complain to the parliament and the king! I hope General Sylvanas, you don't regret it then!" After that, Fellundrey shook his hand and walked out.
After watching the arrogant high-level mage walk out of the conference room door, Sylvanas couldn't help but laugh at himself, and then she waved her hand and asked the others to go down and prepare.
Regret? Hoho!
At that time, at most, it would be just a dismissal of herself, but so what? As long as Yinyue City is defended, it will be worth it! The high elves now have lost too many tribe members, and Takulin and Yongge Forest are almost razed to the ground by the undead! If the Yinyue City cannot be protected and the last 200,000 compatriots in the city are unable to protect them now, she will regret it!

PS: Since some people have asked, I will explain why I didn’t directly summon the fire element army to push the undead natural disaster.
First: Kill Arthas, the undead, who will resurrect Kel Thuzad? Without Kel Thuzad, who will summon Archmond? Archmond cannot come out, and the dark night can continue to stay on Mount Hygar for 100,000 years! Lordaeron's people can also destroy the headless undead and restore the country again! Then they can happily shout long live the Lordaeron Alliance, and get out of the Stormwind Alliance! After sending some people to destroy the Lich King Neozu, Azeroth lived a peaceful life of 100,000 years! There were not so many broken things later! So, who is Sassa? Who is Anduin? Who is Boval? They said they didn't know him!
Second: The portal of the large legion can be opened by a demigod? Just put a spell and throw it out, and a million troops will come over? What a joke! Look at the legion-level portal Dark Gate! Who is its builder? They are the two most powerful among the very few demigods from mortals in the history of Warcraft! One of them is the last guardian of Sargeras consciousness - Medivh! The other is the orc sorcerer personally taught by Kiljadan! The two demigods work together to build a legion-level portal that can pass through a large number of troops! And it also requires a steady supply of energy! Only then can the orcs rush out in one go!
Third: Small portals also need to continuously provide energy, and there are not too many armies passing through at once. Think about the portals built by the Burning Legion! The Burning Legion is a professional demolition team in the universe. When they come to Azeroth, they need to build portals very rigorously to teleport the Legion soldiers continuously. Isn’t there a mission to destroy and exile the Burning Legion?
Now, you, a demigod, want to wave your hand and get a million troops to push the undead? Sargeras never dared to think so! Otherwise, when he came to Azeroth secretly for the second time, he would be killed by Medivh's mother in Northrend? Then there were soul fragments that possessed Medivh and worked together to build the Dark Gate!
How awesome is the Sargeras Dark Titan. If you want to teleport the army, you have to think about it! Just a demigod wants to wave your hand to pull out the millions of fire elemental army? Go dreaming!
If there are only a hundred fire elements, it may be fine to wave your hand. If you want to continuously teleport the army, you have to learn the Burning Legion, honestly upgrade the technology, collect resources, chop wood, dig gold mines, clear wild monsters, and then build a violent soldier building: a portal! Then start to accumulate troops, continue to divide the base, and continue to accumulate troops, and finally push the enemy's base in one wave! Haven't those people who are in chaos ever played with the Ice Throne?
Finally, no one can easily create a portal for a million troops! Besides, Azeroth has Titan's defense measures! Moreover, magic is a rigorous science that follows the basic principle of equivalent exchange! Want to pass the portal? No problem, pay the ticket and toll first! That's right, that's what it should be!
