Crossing the Other World: My Warcraft System

Chapter 776: The Development of the Army

The Undead Scourge retreated.

This is good news for the high elves.

In order to resist this enemy, they paid a huge sacrifice. At that time, there were nearly 80,000 high elves guarding the city walls. Most of them were high elf civilians who had just taken up weapons and could not even be considered militia.

More than half of these 80,000 people were killed or wounded, and with the loss of the high elves and the army that failed to evacuate in time, the high elves' population was reduced by 100,000...

Although it didn't cause any serious damage to his bones or vitality, it still hurt Kael'thas.

Over the past decade, their population has not recovered to the level before the orc invasion. This time, the invasion of the Undead Scourge can be said to have caused them to suffer a double loss in population.

Population has always been the weak point of the High Elf Kingdom. Unlike the night elves who inherited the huge population of the Kaldorei Empire after the War of the Ancients, their population base was already over 10 million ten thousand years ago. Even if the population was halved due to the invasion of the Burning Legion, there would still be more than 5 million.

With the blessing of the guardian dragon, the night elves have a healthy body and endless life. Even if the fertility rate is low, it will have returned to its peak population in ten thousand years.

This is just the normal population of the night elves, not counting the four million troops hidden by Garen...

The high elves are just the evolution of the surviving upper elves. Their numbers are small, and they are far away from Kalimdor. They cannot live forever like the night elves, but they have inherited their disadvantage of low fertility rate...

When the population reaches a certain base number, it will grow like a snowball. Unfortunately, the population of the high elves has never been able to break through the one million mark.

In addition to population losses, they also lost most of their high-end combat power.

The remaining members of the Silver Moon Council were almost wiped out.

Those who survived also suffered from mental exhaustion due to excessive use of magic power, and their strength was permanently reduced. They could only barely maintain the rank of high-level wizards, and would never make any progress in their entire lives.

But it was worth it for these congressmen, as their families successfully distanced themselves from the families of the traitors and would not be scolded by their own clansmen.

It can be said that in the invasion of the Scourge, almost all of the veteran powerful men that the High Elves had accumulated for thousands of years were wiped out.

The most capable fighters right now are probably Prince Kael'thas, the new Grand Magister Rommath, Ranger General Sylvanas and her sisters.

In order to replenish combat power, Kael'thas urgently recalled all the high elves stranded in Dalaran.

Little did they know that this unintentional command saved them.

Of course these are not the most important.

The most important thing is that the Sun King died.

The Sun King has been on the throne for more than three thousand years. Most of the people in the High Elf Kingdom have had Anasterian sitting on the throne since they were born, and this has become a habit for them.

Now the old king has sacrificed his life to protect his people and defend Silvermoon City.

But life must go on, and both the people of Silvermoon City and Kael'thas must face the next important task: rebuilding their homes.

Kael'thas rejected the people's call for him to ascend the throne, hoping to avenge his father and his dead people before ascending the throne.

However, although Kael'thas did not ascend the throne, in the eyes of the people he was already the king, and he also shouldered the heavy responsibility of revitalizing Quel'Thalas.

The first order he issued was to send an envoy to Stromgarde, hoping to convene an alliance meeting to discuss rejoining the alliance.

The second thing was to integrate the Mage Corps, merging the Fire Wings, Flame Eagles, Flame Blades, and Guard Corps into the Sunfury and Eclipse Corps, forming two large legions of tens of thousands of people.

The Knights of the Dawn and the Ranger Corps remain organized.

The next step is to clean up the undead in the country!

After the Scourge left, the trauma they left on Quel'Thalas remained. A scar of death from the gate of Thrasas to the south gate of Silvermoon City remained on the land of the high elves like an ugly scar.

This mark of death contains a powerful force of death. From time to time, corpses are infected by the force of death and stand up again. They need to spend a lot of energy just to deal with these resurrected dead.

Fortunately, the entire group of high elves was holding back a strong energy, and the unique emotions increased their combat effectiveness by 30%.

Galen did not stay in Silvermoon City, leaving Thranduil and the Red Flame Legion to guard against the resurgence of the Amani trolls. If possible, Galen hoped that Thranduil could bring Zul'jin under his command.

After promising to provide Kael'thas with a batch of holy water every month to purify the Scar of Death, Garin headed south and quietly began a secret operation with his troops.

The Scourge's main force evacuated very quickly. The Lich King had to complete the task of opening the door assigned to him by Kil'jaeden. Before the arrival of Archimonde, the Dreadlord was a sword hanging over his head.

Now, several core members of the Scourge, including Arthas, Kel'Thuzad and Dar'Khan, all know that they, the Scourge, will definitely break away from the Burning Legion and choose to defect.

But defecting also requires skills. Now the lord is too powerful and I am not strong enough, so I have to hide for a while longer.

Garen also gave full indulgence, watching the Scourge grow bigger and stronger and create greater glory, but the bottom line is that people cannot continue to die. As for the graves in Lordaeron and Quel'Thalas, you can do whatever you want with them.

Anyway, they are not my ancestors.

So in this situation, the number of the Scourge was replenished once again. The largest source of troops was still the royal city of Lordaeron. In addition to the city’s sewers, there were massive cemeteries underground.

Arthas went all the way south and returned to Tirisfal Glades. He recruited a large number of troops in the capital of Lordaeron and then came to the damaged city wall in the south of the city. Not far outside the city wall was Lake Lordamere.

Not long ago, half of the people of Lordaeron escaped from here.

Arthas came to the lakeshore and threw Frostmourne directly into the lake. The rune sword rolled forward and finally the blade stabbed downward into the shallows.

The rune sword exuded a cold air, and the surrounding lake water froze into ice. The ice surface quickly extended outward, forming a flat road for the undead and war machines to pass.

In the original time and space, Dalaran was rebuilt several times during the war. The first time was after the orcs were defeated. Ner'zhul was preparing to invade Azeroth for the second time. The Death Knight Talon Gorefiend led a team to seize important magical items: the Eye of Dalaran, the Book of Medivh, and the Scepter of Sargeras.

Then the red dragon of Dalaran was burned, so a new urban area was built on the southern shore of Lake Lordamere, which is the location of the Dalaran Crater in later generations.

However, this timeline directly killed the reorganization of the Orcish Horde because of Garen's intervention in Draenor.

Therefore, Dalaran is still located at the original site during the Arathor Empire era.

Arthas and Kel'Thuzad led the undead army towards Cross Island in the lake.
