Azeroth Shadow of the Moon

Chapter 40 The Glory of Azshara

Under Andrea's speechless gaze, Illidan fought against the opponent with real knives and guns against the attacks of dozens of moon guards.

The arcane and evil energy collided at the gate of the city, and the aftermath of the shock inevitably affected the city's defensive barrier. At this time, this defense system was emitting continuous sirens.

"...Is it just in time?"

Andrea looked at the furious Illidan with complicated eyes. The world's number one demon hunter was still able to handle the attacks of dozens of moon guards alone.

Although it is temporarily impossible to break through the moon guard's defense and enter the city, at least there is no sign of defeat in a short period of time.

The double blades of Azzinoth that swung like clouds and flowing water forced the Moon Guard to dare not fight him in close quarters. At the same time, he could use various fel spells to block and suppress the enemy's long-range magic attacks.

Illidan, who was also from the Moon Guard, knew the combat mode of these former colleagues very well. A round of rushing forced Driesen, who was in charge of the center, to be in a hurry.

Taking advantage of the fierce fighting at the gate of the city, Andrea quickly spread her wings and flew towards the city.

Although the alarm was triggered as a matter of course when passing through the barrier, no one could accurately judge the one triggered by Andrea from the countless alarm sounds at this time.

The real name of Zin-Azshara is Aldis, and it was the people of the Night Empire who changed the name of the capital to show respect for Azshara.

As the capital of the Dark Night Empire, the center of political, economic, cultural and arcane research, "Glory of Azshara" - Zin-Azshali is more prosperous than Suramar in the memories of Andrea's previous life.

Magnificent buildings with the characteristics of the high elves are dotted around the city, and a wide canal flows slowly around the city.

Due to the high ground drop of the urban terrain, a large number of canals of different heights have been applied to the city, and some sections of the canal even present the spectacle of man-made waterfalls.

As the treasure of the town that supports the rapid development of the night elves, the Well of Eternity is located in the very center of Zin-Azshari, and the majestic palace is built around this well that overflows with magic power all the time.

"It's not so much a well..."

Andrea flew in the air and looked in amazement at the Well of Eternity, which covers a rather large area in the distance.

"Maybe it's a small lake?"

Regrettably, this small lake, the pearl of the Night Empire, is almost completely controlled by demons at this time.

Just when Andrea entered Zin-Azhali, the demons in the fel energy portal next to the Well of Eternity were still entering Azeroth through the Twisting Nether.

A large number of Highborne mages surrounded the Well of Eternity, trying to expand the size of the portal.

Because the Highborne frantically extracted the energy of the Well of Eternity, the originally calm lake was filled with monstrous waves, and the blue-purple lake water also turned green under the influence of fel energy.

A blue-skinned eredar sat on a gorgeous seat not far behind the Highborne mage, watching the portal slowly expand with satisfaction.

"That's... Archimonde?"

When Andrea saw the eredar who was no different from a normal night elf, he subconsciously stopped moving forward and slowly landed on the round roof of a high-rise building.

After entering the city, Andrea didn't need to rush as fast as possible, and there were generally no birds of prey in the city.

In order not to arouse unnecessary attention and suspicion, he changed from a conspicuous golden eagle to a black crow that can be seen everywhere.

Through observation, Andrea first affirmed one thing.

Queen Azshara did not fully trust the Burning Legion, which can be seen from the distribution of demons and highborne in the palace.

Although the side hall near the Well of Eternity was assigned to the demons, Azshara's royal guards still guarded the road leading to the core area of ​​the palace, and the demons headed by Archimonde tacitly did not try to trespass .

Now the Burning Legion still needs the support of Queen Azshara, using the endless energy of the Well of Eternity to build a passage enough for Sargeras to enter.

Besides, the queen's own strength is also quite terrifying. With the blessing of the magic power of the Well of Eternity, even the always arrogant Archimonde is unwilling to have a head-on confrontation with her.

The distinct forces in the palace made Andrea fall into contemplation, and he had a preliminary plan on how to sneak into the palace.

But as the most heavily defended mortal building in all of Azeroth, Andrea still needs to fill in some details of his plan if he wants to sneak into the palace without anyone noticing.

"In short, find a suitable foothold first. It's not a solution to fly around in the form of a crow all the time. You can't really imitate the living habits of crows to eat bugs..."

Flapping its wings and taking off again, Andrea observed the layout of Xin Aisalie from the air.

The capital city adopts a circular layout, and the palace centered on the Well of Eternity is located in the innermost circle.

Outside the majestic palace is a large area of ​​magnificent single-family buildings, and Andrea can even see a large number of private gardens surrounded by mansions, which should be the area where the noble upper elves live.

The outer circle is located in the canal inflow area, and there are a large number of shops hanging various signboards along the river.

It's a pity that this supposedly bustling commercial street is mostly empty at this time, and only a few highborne elves with noses that grow into the sky are proudly shopping along the way.

A large public square was built in the center of the commercial street distributed around the canal, and the silver statue of Queen Azshara stood in the center of the square. Both commoners and nobles could come here to admire the queen's stunning beauty.

Outside the business district is the outermost circle of the city, which is where Andrea is now.

The buildings here are generally relatively low, but thanks to the gorgeous architectural style of the night elves, even these civilian buildings look very beautiful.

Andrea planned to try to avoid the areas where the highborne were haunted, to avoid being exposed by their magic. He didn't want to hear that nightmare-like familiar line again.

"This is an illusion, what are you covering up?"

Compared with the aristocratic district and the commercial district, the outer civilian district looks very deserted, and most of the commoners who go out to work pass by with their heads down and a look of haste. Along the way, a nervous look around, worried that they will encounter a ruthless demon suddenly appearing Come and cut off your own head.

This kind of situation is not uncommon in Xin Azshara today. Although demons cannot enter the noble area and the core area of ​​the palace, because of their status as "angels of God", Queen Azshara has given them a lot of authority.

Except for a few confidential areas, the entire city is almost completely open to demons without reservation.

Due to the class conflict with the commoners, the upper elves mostly turned a blind eye to the demons killing civilians at will.

In addition to the royal palace and aristocratic districts, including commercial streets and civilian areas, the bustling Xin Aisa Li has shown signs of decline.

Andrea found a small Elune temple built in a civilian area, and descended to the temple to show her identity to the local Elune Sisters.

The members of the Elune Sisterhood are the most devout people in Elune's faith. Andrea believes that after knowing her purpose, she should take the initiative to provide some useful information and help.

Just as Andrea flapped her wings and flew towards the Temple of Elune, a dark green beam of light suddenly shot out from the direction of the distant Well of Eternity without warning.

The feathers of Andrea, who was locked by the light beam, exploded. At the moment of crisis, he only had time to turn his head to look at the Well of Eternity, and the cold and ruthless green eyes were reflected in his eyes. Gleaming with the residual light after casting the spell.

"Archimonde, why would he..."

"Bah!"

Although the strong desire to survive made Andrea try his best to avoid it, this extremely fast fel energy ray still passed the crow's body and rushed into the distant clouds.

Andrea, who was hit, lost consciousness immediately. His crow body whirled and fell from the sky, and finally accidentally smashed into the window of a single sedan chair driven by arcane magic in the middle of the road, causing a childish and short exclamation .
