His precious son's forceful words and merciless attacks almost turned Anastrian into a retard.
In the eyes of the Sun King, there was no point in arguing. If that did not work, he would just kill all these powerhouses in front of him and turn them into Forgotten Ones. That way, his Undead Kingdom would naturally be greatly strengthened.
The problem was that he could not defeat these Radiant Moon Mages!
Logically speaking, a Breaking Dawn Mage should have no problem crushing a Radiant Moon.
The problem was that the equipment of these Radiant Moon Mages was blindingly bright!
They were all high-grade epic-grade equipment from Mount Hyjal, and their various attribute bonuses were many times higher than Anastrian's. Although he had once been the Sun King, and his equipment was definitely not bad, being the best of this era, his opponents had equipment that was two whole generations ahead of him.
When the Sun King's magic could not break through the magic shields of any of the Radiant Moon Mages, he knew that he could not win this battle.
Once they fell into a tug of war, the natural weakness of fire mages was exposed — fire mages had the worst stamina out of all mages.
He had no choice but to retreat.
But when he brought the Silvermoon Councilors with him in the next battle, they would face a large group of mages who had joined the Alliance's court mages. It was another pointless battle of magic. Neither side killed the other, and even the Sun King's magic circuits were overloaded.
What made the Sun King even more furious was that the other side's equipment was too good, and their mana recovery speed was actually above the undead.
If he had enough time to set up a trap and successfully ambush a well-equipped Radiant Moon Mage, he might have been able to turn the tables.
Who knew that the Alliance would follow the strategy that Duque had left behind from the start? They only wanted to not lose in a battle of magic. Thus, the entire team of mages stayed together, and the Sun King could not find a chance to attack.
As a result, the magic domain could not suppress the undead, and the battlefield below became the Alliance's domain.
In just a month, the six armies wiped out nearly ten million undead creatures and gathered in Gloom City, surrounding the once most resplendent jewel of the Lordaeron Continent.
Looking at the dilapidated Lordaeron City, Mograine and the rest of the Lordaeron people sighed endlessly.
"Hurry up and attack Lordaeron City. Drag out Anastrian who stole our Lordaeron's pearl and purify him!" Mograine raised [Ashbringer] high, full of fighting spirit.
However, Andoine waved his hand and pointed at the collapsed city wall. "It's easy to take down Rotterdam City, but it's not easy to take down the newly built Gloomy City."
Some people might ask, "Isn't this the same city?"
Of course not!
The old Rotterdam City was mainly on the ground.
However, the core buildings of the newly built Undercity were all underground!
As a veteran commander, Mograine knew how cruel the street battles were when attacking a castle, not to mention an underground fortress. If this wasn't the capital of the Rotterdam Kingdom, he definitely wouldn't be willing to waste the lives of so many young people to attack.
However, for the sake of the glory of the Rotterdam Kingdom, they had to fight no matter how difficult it was.
Just as Mograine was about to order an attack, Queen Kalia appeared.
"Your Majesty!" Mograine hurriedly bowed.
Kalia said in her pleasant but firm voice, "Alessandro, have you ever thought about the terrible consequences if the war turns into a tug of war? Every warrior who attacks the underground city will not be able to return. Their corpses will be desecrated, their souls will be forced to fall, and they will become part of the enemy. "
Mograine immediately felt bitter.
Queen Kalia looked at the white city walls that had become extremely dilapidated. Seeing that the beautiful city that had nurtured countless generations of Rotterdam people had become extremely dilapidated, she gently stroked her chest. Beneath her muscles and bones, there was a heart that was aching.
"Arthas has already desecrated Rotterdam City once. Now, the despicable Anastrian is doing it again. Not only did they desecrate the former capital of the Alliance, but they also want to turn this place into the scariest and dirtiest Dark Sanctuary. As a member of the Alliance, I will never allow such a thing to happen!"
Kalia took a document from the hands of the maid beside her, signed her name on it, and stamped it with the Queen's seal. She then handed a copy to Andoine, Turayan, and Mograine.
"In the name of the current Queen of Rotterdam, I agree that the Alliance will carry out carpet bombing of Rotterdam City. We will use all methods to deal with the Undead under Rotterdam City. We must let every evil Undead creature be purified by the Holy Light!"
Bombarding the capital of a united nation, even if it was once the capital, was not something that could be done casually. Without the consent of the suzerain, even if they managed to conquer it, there would be too much damage to the valuable ancient buildings. It would be a mess that was hard to clear up. Brothers might become enemies if things went wrong.
However, it was not easy to attack this compound city with Rotterdam City above and Gloom City below.
If they simply occupied the top, they would have to face the troops of the Forsaken who would come out of the endless secret tunnels to harm people. Every building, every alley, every corner could become a tunnel for the enemy to attack.
In order to reduce unnecessary sacrifices, Duque convinced Kalia from the beginning.
Then, a siege that subverted everyone's imagination began.
First, there was the earth-shattering bombardment.
Hundreds of battleships, three tank legions, and five artillery divisions, totaling more than 5,000 cannons of various calibers, poured all the cannons that the Alliance had accumulated for 13 years on Rotterdam City.
The earth-shattering bombardment lasted for three days until there was not a single pillar or wall that had not collapsed in the entire Rotterdam City.
Then, thousands of armored vehicles, bulldozers, and grouting machines entered the battlefield. Even the chassis of the multi-purpose steam tanks were equipped with armor plates that were 30 centimeters thick. They covered the entire Rotterdam City with a meter of cement.
Next, a total of 12 huge pile drivers were erected on the cement ground, and they were driving at the 12 o'clock position of the clock. They did not need the elevators that were originally equipped with in Gloom City that had caused countless people to die. They opened a hole in Gloom City on their own. At the same time, it was also to guard against underground attacks.
Once a hole was dug through, they would throw a large bag of bombs down and blow it up to their hearts' content.
However, the Alliance never sent an assault team down.
Two kilometers away from the original city wall of Rotterdam City, the steam tanks were working day and night to surround the entire Rotterdam City. Their goal was to dig a huge trench that was 50 meters deep and 30 meters wide to ensure that no Undead could dig tunnels and escape.
When carrying out that plan, Duque calculated according to the largest area of Gloom City in history. In fact, that was an extremely safe method. At this moment, the outermost underground wall of Gloom City was at least 2,000 meters away from the huge trench.
