Chapter 1246 Confrontation [First Update]
Because of Ye Ting, Kel'Thuzad's first conspiracy failed.
But the explosion caused by the activation of the mechanism also caused a riot in the city.
Because the location where the explosion occurred was near the Magician Tower of Ansrem Ruinvivor, one of the six members of the Parliament.
Ansrem is in his 60s this year. He is a tall bearded man and a veteran legendary magician in Dalaran. He specializes in the three major schools of magic: plasticity, transformation and protection.
Unlike most magicians who are physically weak, Ansrem pays great attention to physical exercise. Despite his advanced age, he is still tall and capable.
Like Antonidas, Ansrem had a strong sense of belonging to Dalaran and was devoted to his work. He spent the best forty years of his life on the magical defense of Dalaran City and the Magic Barrier. He is responsible for a large part of its establishment.
And it was precisely because of these merits that he was successfully promoted to a member of the Six-person Council after Kel'Thuzad left.
He took over Kel'Thuzad's seat, and also took over the territory that Kel'Thuzad gave up that belonged to this parliamentary seat.
This is why Kel'Thuzad's trap is hidden near his magician tower.
Poor Ansrem, how could he have imagined that his senior would actually leave him such a big trouble.
The six-member Kirin Tor Council is the highest decision-making body in Dalaran. The six members of the council are basically the six highest-ranking people in Dalaran.
Such a position in Blue Star is basically equivalent to that of a member of the Senate. The member's residence was actually bombed, and the impact was naturally unusually large.
When the explosion occurred, Grand Magician Ansrem was not in the Magician Tower, but concentrated in the Violet Castle with other council members to preside over the defense.
When the explosion occurred, everyone rushed to the scene immediately and saw a mess.
Considering that magicians usually lack a sense of security, it is common for them to apply a large number of defensive spells to their magician towers to the point of going crazy. Kel'Thuzad placed a large number of magic crystals in the traps he left for himself, for fear that the traps would not work. Take effect.
So Ansrem's Magician Tower was in bad luck.
Everyone saw that its outer wall was full of cracks, the top of the tower almost collapsed, and a large pit with a radius of more than ten meters and a depth of more than eight meters appeared on the ground next to the Magician Tower.
If it weren't for Ansrem's superb spells and the full use of his talents when building the Magician Tower, if it were an ordinary building, it would have collapsed along with this pit.
More importantly, as one of the members, Ansrem's Magician Tower happens to be an important node of the magic barrier.
Thinking of this, the faces of the magicians present changed. They could already imagine the consequences of this explosion - the barrier would disappear, and Dara Chiang would open the door to the Scourge... .
Ruined!
The magicians headed by Antonidas immediately looked to the sky nervously, waiting for the judgment of fate.
One second passed...
Two seconds passed...
Three seconds passed......
Until two minutes passed, the magic barrier was still hanging high in the air, fulfilling its duty to protect Dalaran as always.
Suddenly, Antonidas broke the silence.
...I seem to have forgotten to tell you."," the old man's tone was particularly embarrassing, "The node of Ansrem's Magician Tower was transferred to Little Gianna's Magician Tower as early as yesterday, so this The explosion will not affect the node. "
Antonidas' words made everyone relax, and then everyone looked at him with reproachful eyes, as if asking:
"Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
"As people get older, their memory inevitably declines." Antonidas smiled sheepishly, and then said seriously: "But this explosion did verify one thing, that is, Sander's judgment was correct. Dalaran There is indeed a traitor from the Scourge."
"Damn traitor!"
Looking at the heavily damaged Magician Tower, Ansrem felt distressed and angry:
"Check! We must investigate strictly! I want to see who dares to blow up my magician tower who doesn't want to live... This kind of betrayal of Dalaran and the living is simply unforgivable!"
"By the way, we have to send people to patrol near our Magician Tower. If they do this again..." Another congressman continued.
Antonidas nodded: "You have to be prepared, but you don't have to be so nervous. After all, the original defense measures of your Magician Tower are tight enough, and it is unlikely that ordinary people will succeed if they want to get close.
"According to Sander's judgment, Ansrem's Magician Tower was probably attacked because it was the last among us to build it. The Curse Sect was established around the same time, and it was probably buried at that time. This is the foreshadowing, which is why he proposed to exchange this node.
"As expected of Sander, he thinks thoughtfully. He is better at this aspect." Everyone sighed after hearing this.
The storm ended.
In the following period, the security in Dalaran became much tighter than before. Soldiers and constructs led by Magician could often be seen patrolling on the streets. All important places in the city were tightly guarded. When he gets angry, most people can't even get close to him if they are irrational.
It seemed that due to such precautions, no more accidents occurred in Dalaran in the following days.
The Scourge Legion outside the city seemed to have given up hope of attacking the city due to the failure of their plan, and gradually died down. They did not launch another large-scale attack like the first day for several days.
Only the tireless undead archers were sent out in turns to fire harassing arrows at Dalaran.
A large number of meat grinding carts are lined up outside the city every day, and every salvo is filled with stones and plague flesh.
This non-threatening attacking rhythm made the Magicians, who had been nervous for several days, gradually let go of their fear of the Scourge.
When they heard that this undead army defeated Quel'Thalas, they thought it was so powerful.
As a result, even the magic barrier in front of Dalaran couldn't be broken.
The only damage caused was to the Great Magician Ansrem's Magician Tower, and that was it.
Losing their fear, the inner arrogance of the magicians once again took over, and they began to look down upon the Scourge.
After getting used to the rhythm of the undead outside the city, some magicians simply regarded them as "...living targets" and "experimental subjects."
There are even magicians who have the courage to experiment with their own magic on the undead outside the city.
There is also a magician who leads his apprentices out of the barrier and uses the undead as living targets for the apprentices to train their spells.
All in all, the mood of the lower classes in Dalaran (Li Li Zhao) is no longer as worried as it was in the past few days, and is optimistic again.
Only the upper echelons of magicians in Dalaran were still worried about why the Scourge was standing still.
What kind of conspiracy is there behind this?
Until the fifth day of the confrontation between the two sides.
The offensive of the undead outside the city is still the routine harassment of archers and meat grinders.
Just when everyone thought that today's confrontation was still the same as usual,
There was another loud noise in Dalaran.
The sound this time was not as far away as the explosion near the Magician Tower on the first day, but the shock felt was far greater than the last time.
The source of the earthquake was the center of Dalaran - the Violet Castle.
Christmas Eve was spent alone in the dormitory again. The author of Peony was really pitiful.
Readers, did you spend Christmas Eve with your girlfriends? Did you eat apples? Were you happy?
If you are happy, please give a wave of flowers and monthly tickets to comfort the lonely author.
