I have one more World of Warcraft Necromancer than you

Chapter 218 The Sword of Damocles

Ruin Square is located in the very center of Dalaran, surrounded by exquisite statues and fountains commemorating the many heroes who sacrificed themselves for Dalaran and the human kingdom. Ruin Square is named in honor of Archmage Ansrem & Ruinsville for their contributions to New Dalaran.

It was this newly appointed, brilliant Speaker Ansrem who oversaw the reconstruction and beautification of Dalaran.

He enjoys high prestige in Dalaran, second only to High Priest Rhonin.

In a sense, Anthrem was surrounded not only by many human mages, but also by the conservative high elves and gnomes of Dalaran, as well as court mages and scholars from numerous kingdoms, who were his students and friends.

Within the Silver Covenant, comprised of Vereesa, Rhonin's wife, and the High Elf Farstrider descendants led by Windrunner, the true authority was Master Ansrem, the human councilor.

The Silver Covenant is quite active, with humans and high elves clearly rejecting the so-called blood elves, as well as Silvermoon City's new allies, the beast tribes seen by most of the Alliance's upper echelons...

The obstacles to the Sunreavers' return are almost entirely from the Silver Covenant...

However, with Khadgar's return and the machinations of the secretive members of the Council of Tirisfal, the blood elf mages regained their original seats as chairmen of the Kirin Tor Council of Six... With the tacit approval of Krasus and Rhonin, Khadgar took control of Dalaran's neutrality.

As old friends, Aethas and Mordra were subtly on Khadgar's side.

Only Ansrem & Ruinswell seem to be outnumbered and outmatched.

Actually, that's not the case. Behind him are countless members of the Kirin Tor human alliance faction, including Master Mordra, Khadgar, Rhonin, and the elves of the Farstrider organization, all of whom belong to the traditional Dalaran human faction.

Jaina returns with the blue dragon emissary Kalecgos, and the so-called human faction will once again suppress the Sunreaver Temple.

The Blood Elves' leader in Dalaran, Aethas the Sunreaker, is in an awkward position. He is determined to regain his status as a High Elf, prove that he belongs to Dalaran, and ease tensions between Silvermoon City and Dalaran.

Seek so-called peace as much as possible...

But they can only dance on three eggs: the Alliance, the Horde, and the Kirin Tor...

The more Aethas and the Sunreavers tried to prove that the Sin'dorei mages were independent and noble, the more Anthrem and his former Farstrider brethren resented them and regarded the blood elves as enemies.

The Horde's support is the Blood Elves' only hope at present. Whether it is due to inherent pride or long-term isolation and exclusion, the Silvermoon City envoys are always negotiating with the Horde's ambassadors in several major cities. On the one hand, they want to prove that the Blood Elves can fight against the Scourge, and on the other hand, they do not want to be manipulated by others.

This may be related to the past experiences of the Blood Elves of Silvermoon City. The Blood Elf prince abandoned his people, and the remaining members of Silvermoon City and the high elves who roamed outside the city were completely separated...

The high elves of the Silver Covenant were clearly unwilling to ally with the blood elves of Silvermoon City.

The blood elves split into several factions, with only Archmage Romance, loyal to the last blood elf prince, Kael'thas... who still hoped the prince would return to the right path. However, Prince Kael'thas led most of the Sin'dorei's elite to Outland in search of power...

The Blood Knights and Ranger garrison in Silvermoon City, under the command of Countess Liadrin and Ranger Generals Haduron & Brightwing respectively, defend Silvermoon City together with Regent Lor'themar & Theron.

Silvermoon City chose to join the Horde because Regent Theron accepted the recommendation of his former leader, Lady Sylvanas...

Before this, they faced the shattered Blood Elf kingdom.

Some blood elf mages have joined the Scarlet Crusade, such as the legendary assassin Invar, who joined the Scarlet Crusade fleet and is now missing an arm; he was once a member of the spellbreakers.

Some wander alone, such as the astrologers who had already submitted to Shattrath. They witnessed the Naaru, beings of the Holy Light, and defected, for the astrologers had foreseen the prince's fate.

Some people have returned to Dalaran.

The Sunreaker of Aethas & the Sunreaker is the blood elf mage group that returned to Dalaran. He inherited the chairmanship of the former blood elf prince... In fact, Master Romans is one of the strongest blood elf mages.

The Sun Reaper seemed reluctant to align himself with the tribe... but he had no choice.

From this day forward, the Sunreavers' Temple will be bound to the Horde, and Silvermoon City and Undercity will prove that they are the Sunreavers' strongest allies... After a brief conversation, Rhonin and Jaina appeared on the floating platform above Ruin Square.

These small airships are small combat aircraft piloted by battle mages...

They can move freely throughout Dalaran and pass through Dalaran's magical barriers.

This aircraft is clearly only for members of Dalaran.

Master Rhonin appeared, drawing the attention of all the guests, including Khadgar. Everyone turned to look at Master Rhonin, the middle-aged human archmage with a crew cut and red hair, who was observing downwards.

The area around Ruin Square was engulfed in flames, with countless dead and injured.

Vibrations and loud noises emanated from the sewer openings, where fugitives, invading Forsaken warriors, and unknown enemies were present.

After a slight hesitation, a hero statue in Ruin Square collapsed with a crash, kicking up a cloud of dust.

"We can't delay any longer..."

Rhonin closed his eyes slightly and silently chanted a spell. A purple halo began to emanate from behind him, spreading out in concentric circles... Jaina sensed the immense magical power emanating from Rhonin and involuntarily took a step back.

Master Ronin appears to be preparing to unleash some kind of massive area-of-effect magic...

Several magical towers throughout Dalaran began to glow, echoing the spell cast by the city lord...

"Everyone, drop your weapons and cease casting spells!"

Luo Ning finished chanting the incantation in three seconds, his eyes emitting a purple light... The purple halo behind him condensed into a giant egg due to the magic power... The giant egg slowly cracked open, and people suddenly felt a shock wave emanating from it, like a super-large arcane shock spell, enveloping everything in the sky and on the ground.

Luo Lin, who was preparing to jump into the well to escape underground, was suddenly frozen in mid-air...

He was surprised to find himself as if he had been frozen in place, his whole body still in the motion of jumping down the well, but his body was suspended in mid-air.

Except for his eyes, which could still move, he glimpsed that everyone in the distance was frozen in place...

Above them, apart from Rhonin and Jaina, and on the ground, apart from Khadgar, everyone... including Alliance and Horde envoys, ordinary guards, and guests, was completely immobilized.

"What kind of magic is this?"

This thought popped into everyone's head...

The dwarven general Fandral Stormpike stared in astonishment, his eyes wide... but like many other powerful warriors struggling to break free, he was immobilized, including Countess Katarina, the witch doctor Kalay, and Tyrande and Fordring of the Scarlet Crusade...

Khadgar looked up, gazing intently. "Time stop + magic ban, Violet Eye... a super-level spell... unseen for many years. Only my teacher Medivh cast it once back then. Rhonin truly deserves to be called the man chosen by the dragons..."

Not to mention Khadgar's praise, even Jaina looked incredulous.

Jaina can cast such a large-scale spell... but a triple forbidden spell with a huge range, cast within three seconds... she can't do that right now.

"As expected of the Grand Speaker!"

Luo Ning's expression was solemn. The giant purple egg behind him slowly opened its eyes, the Violet Eye... also known as the Eye of Wisdom, the Eye of Omniscience, and the Radiance of Dalaran, capable of observing all targets in the sky and on the ground within a radius of several miles.

"A second warning: stop immediately, or you will face the consequences!"

The Grand Chancellor's warning echoed throughout Dalaran...

The sounds of clashing weapons still echoed from the sewers. From the cracks at the edge of Ruin Square, several enemies of unknown origin charged towards the crowd, some armed, some undead, and some strange crow-men, crocodile-men, and flesh-and-blood constructs...

Clearly, those soulless flesh-and-blood constructs could not understand the Grand Chancellor's warning.

Luo Ning frowned, and the giant purple eye on his back emitted a bright light. A beam of purple light shone on them, and those guys who ignored the warning and moved were suddenly frozen in place. Before everyone could finish their questioning, they instantly exploded into dust and disappeared from the spot.

Cold sweat beaded on the forehead of Rolin, who was hovering not far away as his transformation was about to end...

Above him stood the rightful lord of Dalaran, the legendary archmage of the Dalaran Kirin Tor, whom his apprentice had always admired and longed to be...

At this moment, however, the Sword of Damocles hung over the heads of the master and disciple...

They could take their lives at any moment...
