Chapter 195 The Tracker of the Ice Ship
"My God, how much mana does Duke have?" Even though Duke had told him earlier in the morning, Ryan still couldn't believe it.
Beside Ryan, the last morning star court mage sighed: "Your Majesty, if it were me, I might only be able to support half of the area."
Ryan, Anduin, and Bolvar were moved again in an instant.
That is to say, Duke's mana has far surpassed the level of ordinary morning star mages?
On the shore, everyone gasped. Looking at this huge ice floe, everyone knew that this was the ark that carried them away.
But, how long have you been standing on it? Will it freeze to death?
It's hot summer, and it's cool to play with ice cubes, but the chill radiating from it makes people somewhat cringe.
"Get out of the way, everyone." Over there, Windsor was already directing Duke's private soldiers to work.
A large number of people swarmed up to spread a large amount of hay that had already been piled up on the pier on the ice. Hay not only blocks the cold air well, but also prevents people from slipping when walking on it. In addition to hay, there are even fences to prevent people from sliding out...
The elite soldiers and warriors of the Stormwind Kingdom were completely dumbfounded.
This is all right?
Uh, it's really awesome, it's magical!
Duke walked more than 500 meters and stopped after letting the ice cover extend to 600 meters. Looking at the pile of extremely dim mana gems that lost their magical radiance, Duke couldn't help but wry smile. If any of these high-grade mana gems flow out, the group of Dalaran's usually high-ranking mages will run over like dogs and loot them.
Take two at random, and you can buy the allegiance of a sky mage.
If all the mana gems used tonight were used to bribe people, this would at least be the price tag of Mage Morningstar. Well, Kel'Thuzad, who will become the Grand Lich in the future and seek refuge with the Demon King, is at this level.
However, it was all played by Duke.
Duke felt no pity. Human life can never be measured by money, leaving these 50,000 elites is enough to have a major impact on the entire situation.
"Old Mai, you have worked hard all your life to defend the Stormwind Kingdom. Now that I have saved so many people with your wealth, you should thank me very much."
Of course Duke himself didn't have that much mana, but after running out of the mana gems that Medivh left in Karazhan, he accomplished this miracle so-so.
In order to prevent the ice from cracking, Duke used his unparalleled magical control to separate the ice into three layers. The uppermost layer carries people, and the middle and lower layers are supported.
Finally stopped, Duke waved his hands from afar and shouted, "Everyone come up."
In the hazy night, the gorgeous light blue light flickered against the Stormwind City, which was dyed red by blood and flames, forming a very magical and unique strange landscape.
The icy air began to condense, and the light reflected from the ice surface constituted a fantasy-like beauty - the magical beauty of the huge ice ship made everyone forget the sense of loss of the fall of the capital for a moment, and put their minds in this surreal dream.
The 50,000 army, under the command of commanders at all levels, stepped onto the ice ship along the pier in an orderly manner.
There were whispers of discussion in the air.
Of course, the biggest discussion is how to get this huge ice ship?
"Does Duke want to build a few giant sails out of thin air? How to control it?" Ryan asked Anduin in a low voice.
"How do I know?" Lothar rolled his eyes.
When Duke proposed to use ice ships to transport soldiers away during the secret meeting, it sounded very grand. But in fact, when it comes to reality, no one has studied it. How does such a large ice ship go?
All the high-level officials only knew that without the last 50,000 elite soldiers, they couldn't even delay the time. If Duke could get all these people back, it would be for nothing. Even at this time when the orc army was burned by a fire, according to the imagination of Ryan and others, it would be a big deal for the fleet to make a few more trips, and it counts as much as it can run.
Agree with Duke's plan, simply because there is no better way.
However, out of trust in Duke, no one paid attention to the details.
Then, they had their moment of miracles.
Duke took out a peculiar conch shell engraved with runes, and blew it loudly.
Tens of seconds later, tens of thousands of bubbles bubbled up on the originally calm sea.
There's a bunch of stuff coming out of the bottom of the ocean.
Although everyone was mentally prepared, after seeing the ridiculous and huge big eyes, Qi Qi felt relieved.
murlocs!
Thousands of murlocs.
They floated up from the bottom of the sea in a chaotic manner, and in some places, there were murlocs crowding the murlocs, and they were not afraid of falling into the sea when they stepped on them, and in some places, there was not a single murloc in sight for tens of square meters.
Naga is here.
The burly male naga quickly climbed up the ice with bundles of rope on his shoulders.
There are sharp grappling hooks attached to the rope, and the male Naga chisels off these grappling hooks vigorously and fixes them on the ice.
At this time, the Naga priest Vala came, still with four crystal round arms crossed to caress his shoulders, and bowed to salute, but this time his head was bowed lower.
"Great master, Valla*Ragescale* Ives is at your command."
Duke waved his hand: "Let's go!"
The male Naga held a sledgehammer and smashed it hard at the connection between the dock and the ice ship. Not long after, there was a loud crackling sound, and the last trace of connection between the ice ship and the land was separated.
With both right arms of Vala pointing to the dark distance, she made a fierce and majestic voice: "Gah la la du oh... Bar)!"
Like a tug-of-war, nearly a hundred murlocs were pulling a rope, pulling it out with all their strength. Thousands of water splashes suddenly rose on the sea.
It was very slow at first, but finally began to feel "moving".
In the distance, the blurred mountains in the night and the torch-like city of Stormwind seemed to move.
Everyone knew that it wasn't Stormwind City or Stormwind Harbor that moved, but the ice ship under their feet.
The terrified soldiers finally reacted.
"Woooooo!" The veterans burst into tears. Some of them lived in Stormwind City since they were born, not only them, their fathers, grandfathers, and ancestors who lived in Stormwind City many generations ago.
Now, even if it was a glorious retreat, they still couldn't suppress the loss in their hearts.
Life and death were uncertain before, but now that they are finally sure of their safety, they finally don't need to control their emotions.
"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo" came from the team.
Under the siege of hundreds of thousands of ferocious orcs with one enemy ten, it is a myth for the soldiers of Stormwind to severely injure the enemy army, but for the militiamen, garrison members, and even civilians who were not soldiers not long ago But it is a fairy tale—a magical fairy tale!
