His beloved son's powerful words and merciless attacks almost choked Anasterian into becoming mentally retarded.
In the eyes of the Sun King, verbal disputes are meaningless. If all else fails, he can kill all the heroes in front of him and turn them into the Forgotten, then his Undead Kingdom will naturally be greatly strengthened.
The problem is, he can't defeat this group of archmages!
Logically speaking, it would be no problem for Antonidas to crush Grand Magus.
The problem is that the equipment of the opposing group of Grandmaguss is blindingly bright!
All of them were high-level epic equipment from Mount Hyjal, and their various attribute bonuses were much higher than Anasterian's. Although as the former Sun King, his equipment was definitely not bad, and it was the best of this era, but the equipment on the other side was two full eras ahead of him.
When the Sun King's magic was unable to break through the magic shields of any of the opposing Grand Magus in one go, he knew that he could not win the battle.
Once the situation becomes a tug-of-war, the inherent weakness of a fire mage will be exposed - the fire mage's endurance is the worst among all mages.
He had to retreat.
However, when he brought the Silvermoon Council members with him to the next battle, he faced a large group of mages who had joined the court mages of the alliance countries. It was another meaningless magic war, and no one was killed. Instead, the Sun King's magic circuits were overloaded.
What made the Sun King even more mad was that, because the opponents had such good equipment, their magic recovery speed was even faster than that of the undead.
If he was given enough time to set a trap and successfully ambush a well-equipped Alliance Grandmagus, he might be able to turn the tables.
Unexpectedly, the Alliance followed the strategy left by Duke from the very beginning, and only wanted to avoid losing in magic battles, so the entire mage group always stayed together, and the Sun King could not find any opportunity to attack.
As a result, the magic field could not be suppressed, and the battlefield below became the world of the alliance.
In just one month, the six armies wiped out nearly ten million undead creatures, gathered in Undercity, and surrounded this once most dazzling pearl on the continent of Lordaeron.
Looking at the dilapidated city of Lordaeron, Mograine and other people of Lordaeron sighed with regret.
"Hurry up and take over the city of Lordaeron, drag out Anasterian who stole the pearl of Lordaeron, and purify him!" Mograine held up the Ashbringer, full of fighting spirit.
Anduin waved his hand, pointed at the collapsed city wall and smiled: "It is easy to capture Lordaeron, but it is not easy to capture the newly built Undercity."
Some people may ask, isn't this the same city?
Of course not!
The old city of Lordaeron was mainly on the ground.
The main core buildings of the newly built Undercity are all underground!
As a veteran commander, Mograine also knew how brutal the street fighting was when attacking a castle, not to mention an underground fortress. If this wasn't the capital of Lordaeron, he would definitely not be willing to waste the lives of a large number of young people to attack it.
But for the glory of Lordaeron, we must fight no matter how difficult it is.
Just as Mograine was about to order an attack, Queen Calia appeared.
"Your Majesty!" Mograine saluted hurriedly.
Calia said in her pleasant but firm voice: "Alexandros, have you ever thought about what terrible consequences would occur if the war turned into a stalemate? Every warrior who entered the dungeon would not be able to return, and their bodies would be desecrated, their souls would be forced to degenerate, and they would become part of the enemy."
Mograine suddenly looked bitter.
Queen Calia looked at the white city walls that had become extremely dilapidated. Seeing that this beautiful royal city that had nurtured countless generations of Lordaeron people had become extremely dilapidated, she gently stroked her chest. Under her muscles and bones, there was an aching heart.
"The city of Lordaeron has been desecrated once by Arthas, and now the despicable Anasterian has done it for the second time. Not only have they desecrated the capital of the former Alliance leader, they are also turning it into the most terrifying and filthy dark sanctuary. As a member of the Alliance, I will never allow such a thing!"
Calia took a document from the maid next to her, signed her name on it, stamped it with the queen's wax seal, and gave a copy to Anduin, Turalyon and Mograine respectively.
"In the name of the current Queen of Lordaeron, I agree to the Alliance's carpet bombing of Lordaeron City. We will take all possible measures to deal with the undead in Lordaeron City, and ensure that every evil undead creature is purified by the Holy Light!"
Bombarding the capital of a member state, even if it was once the capital, is not something that can be done casually. Without the consent of the suzerain, even if it is taken down, too many valuable ancient buildings will be damaged, which is a mess that is difficult to explain. If things go wrong, brothers may become enemies in a matter of minutes.
But it is not easy to attack this complex city with Lordaeron City above and Undercity below.
If you simply occupy the top and then attack downwards, you will have to face the Forsaken troops that come out from the endless secret passages to harm people. Every building, every alley, and every corner may become a channel for the enemy to attack.
In order to reduce unnecessary sacrifices, Duke persuaded Calia from the very beginning.
Then, a siege battle that subverted everyone's imagination began.
First came the earth-shattering bombardment.
Hundreds of warships, together with three tank corps and five artillery divisions with a total of more than 5,000 cannons of various calibers, poured all the artillery shells that the Alliance had accumulated for thirteen years onto the city of Lordaeron.
The deafening bombardment lasted for three days, until there was not a single pillar or wall left in the entire city of Lordaeron.
Then, thousands of multi-purpose steam tanks that served as armored vehicles, bulldozers, and grouting machines, with even their chassis equipped with 30-centimeter-thick armor plates, came in and covered the entire city of Lordaeron with one-meter-thick cement.
Then, twelve huge pile drivers were erected on the concrete ground, driving piles at the 12 o'clock position of the clock. There was no need to use the elevators equipped by the Undercity, which had killed countless people in history. They dug a hole into the Undercity themselves. At the same time, they were also preparing for a surprise attack from underground.
Once any place is dug through, just drop a large bag of bombs down and blow them up first.
However, the Alliance never sent a commando team down.
Two kilometers outside the original city wall of Lordaeron, the steam tanks worked day and night, surrounding the entire city of Lordaeron. The goal was to dig a huge trench that was fifty meters deep and thirty meters wide to ensure that no undead could escape by digging a tunnel from the ground.
When launching this plan, Duke calculated it based on the largest area of Undercity in history. In fact, this was an extremely safe approach. At this time, the outermost underground wall of Undercity was at least two kilometers away from the giant trench.
