Chapter 432: The Elves Enter the Scene

Arthas was taken aback, then remembered something that infuriated him. Because the elite mage team sent to Alterac was wiped out, they couldn't find a single mage squad in the vast Lordaeron to activate the city's magic defense towers. If they had the cover of the magic towers, how could the Horde have so easily breached the city?

Those matters could be settled later. The urgent task was to drive the Horde away.

Arthas was never lacking in decisiveness. He pulled off one of his necklaces and handed it to Duke Marcus.

"Show this to any court mage, and they'll know it's the will of the Menethil royal family. Press it onto the magic circle, and you'll gain control of any magic teleportation array and magic tower outside the royal city."

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Duke Marcus disappeared in a flash.

Watching the series of teleportation flashes, which reached the magic teleportation array hundreds of meters away in just a few seconds, Arthas suddenly felt a keen desire: if Duke Marcus were his subject, that would be wonderful.

Arthas's ambition was destined not to be realized. The young Arthas didn't know how unreliable the intentions of Duke Marcus, the transmigrator, were.

At this moment, everything was prioritized to save Lordaeron City.

Actually, Duke Marcus also wanted to curse. He had asked Terenas for control of Lordaeron's teleportation gate so that his reinforcements could arrive in advance.

King Terenas refused, the reason being that his court mages unanimously opposed it.

Their thoughts were understandable. The nation's heavy equipment should not be lent out lightly. Once the teleportation gate control was lent out, who knew if there would be any backdoors left in the teleportation gate in the future.

And the teleportation gate is not something that any Tom, Dick, or Harry can handle. Generally speaking, Dawnstar mages who are more familiar with spatial magic can ensure that they won't have an accident when teleporting themselves to a city with a teleportation gate. Those below the level of a Moonlight mage don't have absolute confidence that their temporary teleportation gate will be absolutely successful, and won't teleport a living person only for the other side to receive a deformed, non-human thing.

Teleportation gates are mostly used between human main cities, and the material costs are astonishing, so they won't be used unless absolutely necessary.

So Terenas didn't teleport many mages back.

Now the situation is vastly different. The city is about to be broken, and there's no point in keeping secrets. If they still hide and tuck away, they might as well wait for the orcs to regroup and slaughter them after breaking the city.

When Duke Marcus appeared near the teleportation gate, the captain guarding the teleportation gate and the court mage breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the necklace Duke Marcus showed. It seemed they had already discussed the issue of the teleportation gate, and obviously, handing it over to Duke Marcus was the most ideal choice.

Duke Marcus wasn't being pretentious, and quickly gained control of the teleportation gate.

Of course, when Duke Marcus worked, he was definitely different from ordinary mages. No mage could, like Duke Marcus, copy all the teleportation gates and spatial coordinates of Lordaeron City while opening the teleportation gate authority.

"In the name of Menethil, teleportation gate division, open."

The soldiers of Lordaeron were stunned to see several teleportation gates near the eastern city wall suddenly open, and a large number of elves were pouring out from the blue and white illusory teleportation gates.

They not only had a large number of rangers with longbows and at least three quivers on their backs, but also a few infantry and mages in long robes.

Besides Duke Marcus, if anyone could control the overall situation, they would see that the number of elf mages who had arrived in Lordaeron City had shockingly exceeded five hundred.

The composition of the High Elf mage group was completely different from that of the human mage group.

In a human mage group, often a Sky Mage would be the team leader, and the group would mostly be led by a Dawnstar Mage. After all, a Moonlight Mage would often be a court mage in some palace. The mages under the jurisdiction of the mage group, at the height of the war, would even draft mage apprentices who could only cast fireball spells to make up the numbers.

The High Elf mage group...

Often, Sky Mages could make up half, with forty percent being Earth Mages, and ten percent being Dawnstar Mages. The group must be led by a Moonlight Mage.

On the surface, Dalaran has eight Moonlight Mages, while Quel'Thalas has fifty. Fortunately, at the highest level of military power, both Quel'Thalas and Dalaran only have one Sun Mage, otherwise the mages of Dalaran would really have to feel inferior.

Getting back to the point, when the teleportation gate opened next to Duke Marcus, first a female elf mage with a hot body and very little cloth on her mage robe stepped out, then two elf rangers that Duke Marcus recognized, followed by other soldiers, rangers, and mages.

"Honorable Deputy Commander Duke Marcus, Marian Firewing, the leader of the first mage group of the Quel'Thalas army of the Lordaeron Alliance, salutes you." The Moonlight female elf mage's robe was really scanty, Duke Marcus took a glance and then looked away.

Damn it! This robe could almost compete with the Insight Robe, known as the decisive underwear among the players before Duke Marcus crossed over, with high slits on both legs and a heart-shaped hollow on the chest.

Are you here to fight or to hook up?

The other two guys were much more pleasing to the eye, in fact, they were also old friends.

"Alliance Brigadier General Lor'themar Theron and his subordinates report to Duke Marcus."

"Alliance Brigadier General Halduron Brightwing reports to you."

Duke Marcus noticed sensitively that these two future giants of Silvermoon City had now been promoted to generals on the front line. This was the chain reaction of him poaching Alleria and Queen Sylvanas ahead of time.

Quel'Thalas had to send a mage group and a ranger team to fulfill the alliance. The previously overlooked ranger team is now the main force. The high elves are proud, even if they were almost kneeling before, and the army was beaten like a dog. They still don't want to be inferior to humans when they go out, so Lor'themar and Halduron, who didn't follow the Windrunner family's rangers to serve, are completely benefiting from the disaster.

"Without further ado, Generals Theron and Brightwing, please have your people quickly occupy all high positions. I want you to push the orcs back."

"Understood." The two future giants quickly took their people and left.

"What about me?" Marian flirtatiously threw a flirtatious glance at Duke Marcus.

Although Marian deliberately downplayed her status as a Silvermoon Council member and condescended to use respectful language to him as a Moonlight Mage, Duke Marcus could see at a glance that for some reason, she wanted to get close to him.

Duke Marcus ignored the fiery sight before him: "Lady Firewing, I have opened the control of the magic tower for your people. I need you and your people to build a frost line along the moat. The most important thing now is to stabilize the front line."

"Understood." Marian was quite smart, she wouldn't waste Duke Marcus's time at this moment.
