Chapter 385: Plundering the Suburbs
After the anger of nature was vented, what appeared in front of the night elves was no longer the majestic city walls of the Western Holy Pass and the standing mage towers. Between the peaks on both sides, a huge gap of nearly a thousand meters appeared, as if a giant beast had bitten the mountains apart from here.
The Western Holy Pass, the western gateway to the sacred imperial capital, had been razed to the ground by Furion's natural wrath. Looking in from here, the night elves with keen eyes can already see the bustling sacred imperial capital in the distance.
By this time, Illidan was not in a hurry. The last layer of defense of the Holy Imperial City has been torn apart, and the heart of light that Father God needs can be said to be already in the possession of the night elves.
As the leader of the night elf army, Illidan walked out of the team alone and came to the place where the original Western Holy Pass turned into a white field, and began to collect soul crystals.
Among the original defenders of Xishengguan, there were no strong men of legendary level or above. Among the members of the Royal Mage Corps who came for subsequent support, except for the epic mage Simpson, there were no outstanding experts. However, there are still quite a few sky-level powerhouses in the entire Western Holy Pass who can provide secondary soul crystals.
After some collection, Illidan not only obtained Simpson's intermediate soul crystals, but also collected ten secondary soul crystals. In other words, in the battle at Xishengguan alone, the night elves harvested two-thirds of the upper-level soul crystals and left one lower-level soul crystal.
Raising his head and looking slightly excitedly at the Holy Imperial Capital in front of him, Illidan couldn't help but think about how many soul crystals the Holy Lion Empire's Imperial Capital could provide to the Night Elves.
Although Illidan himself has no use for soul crystals, he is still a partner created by God the Father. He is still happy to see that the heroes transformed by Furion and others have improved in strength.
Turning his head, Illidan felt a little pity in his heart. Furion had just used the wrath of nature to bury 200,000 enemy troops, including many high-ranking enemies. Even though the experience provided by those ordinary soldiers is negligible to the seventh-level Furion, it is enough for him to advance one or two levels.
If it weren't for the restriction of transformation, maybe Furion could directly reach level nine and become the second hero among the night elves to reach the mythical level.
Just when Illidan was thinking about this, he suddenly received a message from God the Father in his mind.
Yu Fei directly used his body to tell Illidan that the magic circle on the ground inside the second city wall before Xisheng Pass must be completely transported back. As for how to keep it intact, the natural solution is to dig out the entire stone slab and carry it back.
Although Yu Fei's thoughts can be transmitted to a large area where every night elf is located, this kind of thoughts is not as meticulous as the one within his body's sensing range, and it is impossible to scan and analyze the West Holy Pass in detail. space transfer array.
Therefore, Yu Fei had to make the decision to let Illidan and others dig deep.
Even Illidan, an elf with a cold and aloof temperament, couldn't help but feel embarrassed about Yu Fei's order to dig. It is absolutely difficult for ordinary night elf soldiers to dig out such a large stone slab, so it can only be done by heroes like them.
No matter how you think about it, it feels awkward for an epic level strong man to dig the ground. But this was the order of Yu Fei, the father-god, and he had to do it even if he couldn't create conditions. Illidan had no choice but to call on heroes such as Maiev and Sera Bill to dig up a space that was not destroyed by the wrath of nature. The magic circle has been moved.
The previous ground cracking did not cause any damage to the area where the space transfer array was located. The thunder, fire and ice wind landed on it but did not break up a large piece of stone ground, which made Yu Fei feel that this space transfer magic circle was extremely magical.
After a lot of hard work and a lot of energy of several epic heroes, the entire ground where the space transfer circle was engraved was dug out. Fortunately, after it is dug out, it can be handed over to a small number of mountain giants to carry it, so no further efforts from the heroes are needed.
After collecting the soul crystals and digging out the space transfer circle, the night elves had nothing to do in the Western Holy Pass. Next, what Illidan has to do is to lead the night elf army to the Yellow Dragon, take off the crown on the head of the Holy Lion Emperor, and get the Heart of Light. At this time, the sky was gradually turning dark.
Illidan put a lot of thought into choosing the time to take action before. It was just after noon when the night elves attacked Kelvo City. By the time we captured the cities of Kervo and Bolivar and arrived in front of the Western Holy Pass, it was almost dusk.
Now, after fighting in Xisheng Pass, wiping out the entire Xisheng Pass, and digging the ground for a long time, it was already evening. By the time the night elves attack the sacred imperial capital, it will be about time the moon rises.
As a night elf, its combat effectiveness will not be reduced at all at night. On the contrary, the night elves' strength will improve to some extent at night. Apart from anything else, the shadow escape talent possessed by most night elves can be used at night.
Correspondingly, the combat effectiveness of ordinary humans at night is definitely not as good as during the day. In addition to getting used to resting at night, visibility is a big issue. Humans' long-range attacks at night were so inaccurate that they might not even be able to touch the edge of the night elves.
Because the three moons of Eslaze had not yet risen completely, Illidan did not let Furion, who had worked so hard, waste his energy to bless the night elf troops with the magic of controlling the wind. The next little distance could be advanced leisurely, just in time to attack the Holy Imperial City when it was completely dark.
Although the speed was deliberately slowed down, the area after the Western Holy Pass was already considered the suburbs of the Holy Imperial City. The night elf troops lightly crossed one manor after another and one field after another, and finally arrived at the outskirts of the Holy Imperial City when all three moons began to shine.
There were no many people in the manors that the night elves saw along the way. After learning that the night elves were not far from the imperial city, the nobles or wealthy businessmen who originally lived in various manors in the suburbs retreated to the imperial city one by one.
When passing by a manor again, Illidan's mind moved and he thought of something. Then, he stopped the troops from advancing.
Under Illidan's command, the female hunters were divided into small teams and began to roam the manors outside the Holy Imperial City to plunder the resources in the manors.
It has only been half a day since the night elves were exposed in Kervo City. Even if the nobles who evacuated in advance have space rings, some resources are difficult to transfer in a short time. What's more, most of the nobles and wealthy businessmen fled in a hurry when the night elves reached the Western Holy Pass.
Apart from anything else, the low-level magic crystals and magic cores stored in the manors will definitely not be transferred in large quantities due to their size. And these things are the best spoils for the night elves.
As expected, in almost every manor that the night elves passed by, they could collect a large number of items that could be converted into energy. Fortunately, Illidan distributed all the space rings he had looted before to the elf dragons, otherwise he could only watch a large number of spoils without being able to take them away.
Looking up at the three moons that had just risen completely, Illidan suddenly felt that there was no need to rush to attack the Holy Imperial City. There was still a whole night, enough for the night elves to break through the Holy Imperial City and get the Heart of Light. Why not plunder as many resources as possible before that?
After a little consideration, Illidan implemented his idea. Originally, the night elf troops entered the suburbs of the Holy Imperial City from the Western Holy Pass, and they only plundered the resources in the large number of manors in the western suburbs of the Holy Imperial City. Now, with Illidan's order, the night elf troops began to circle around the Holy Imperial City.
Every time they passed a suburb of the Holy Imperial City, the manors there were plundered by the night elves. If there were locusts on the continent of Eslaze, the servants who huddled in the manors to guard their masters would definitely describe these robbers like this.
