With several scouts, Irene's movements were quite restricted. Several times, she was almost caught by Narak, but fortunately, Irene used a strong wind to block Narak for a period, which prevented the scouts from getting injured.
The battle in the southern courtyard had already begun. After Salador received intelligence from the scouts, he immediately dispatched Draksa to attack this important defensive facility.
Draksa was one of Salador's deputies, responsible for commanding the Kaldorei Legion.
The Kaldorei Empire's army this time consisted of the Sixteenth Legion and the Seventeenth Legion, each with two thousand soldiers. These two Legions were established in the middle period of the Empire and had previously been responsible for guarding Valsharah and Aszuna. They only had adventure experience, with no experience in any formal battles.
Garrosh had been using the Dalaran battlefield for rotational combat, and it was almost time for these two Legions to go to the front lines when this war broke out. He then dispatched these two Legions, gathering veterans from the Sky City to serve as low-ranking officers, preparing to train these two Legions with the experienced leading the new.
Draksa led the Sixteenth Legion. After the veterans received his orders, they immediately led their people to the designated positions. The new recruits of the Sixteenth Legion followed closely behind the veterans, diligently learning their tactical movements and considering the purpose of each decision.
The Quartermaster Corps found an open space and, from their magical satchels, took out a large number of parts, skillfully assembling them into war machines.
Sethonis had already refined war machines for more than ten generations, developing dozens of devices with different functions.
Cannons were assembled one by one, and in front of them were shield carts with heavy armor. The cannons condensed a large amount of Wind Elementals and fired shells made of Fire Elementals. The sound of the shells leaving the barrel was not very loud, similar to Earth's mortars.
However, the power of the shells was extraordinary; after hitting the courtyard buildings, they directly destroyed a large area.
After one round of bombardment, except for the central palace-like building, almost all other walls collapsed.
The Mogu rushed out of the courtyard and charged at the Elves. They wanted to eliminate all these invaders.
However, the Trolls were very apprehensive, not expecting the Elves to arrive so quickly. Many of them were sent to deliver messages towards the palace complex. They even discussed for a while before joining the battle.
Draksa immediately dispatched troops to meet the enemy. Although the Elves were much shorter than the Mogu, they did not flinch from battle. They charged towards the Mogu, and before they got close, support arrived from behind.
The cannons fired a round at the Mogu, directly knocking them head over heels. And the Mages of the Sixteenth Legion also began to cast large-scale attack spells, making the Mogu suffer immensely.
The new recruits of the Sixteenth Legion took the opportunity to get close and attacked the Mogu's lower bodies. The Mogu had to bend their knees to fight, which was very unaccustomed to them.
Under the dual attack of the warriors and support troops, the Mogu quickly could not hold on.
The Zandalar Trolls happened to come up as support but were beaten back by a volley of magic from the Sixteenth Legion.
Although the Sixteenth Legion was stationed in Aszuna year-round, their equipment was no worse than the Nordrassil army, and their personnel configuration was extremely rich. After a thousand years of tempering, their strength was already very powerful; what they lacked was only battle experience.
Led by the veterans, they were not afraid of even the Mogu, much less the Zandalar Trolls.
After several rounds of bombardment, the Mogu in the courtyard gave up resistance and chose to retreat.
The Sixteenth Legion occupied the courtyard and dispatched scouts to the north.
In the palace complex, the Mogu heard the cannon fire from the south and immediately sent people to support. However, the reinforcements had not yet reached the courtyard when they encountered the retreating Mogu and Trolls.
After the two sides met, they prepared for a counterattack. However, they ran straight into the Seventeenth Legion and the Pandaren army. Salador personally commanded the battle, with troops from other allied races protecting the flanks.
The encounter battle quickly began. Salador's command artistry was much more advanced than Draksa's. Although there was no time to set up cannons, due to the presence of allied race armies, there were far more spellcasters than in the Sixteenth Legion.
Countless spells made it difficult for the Mogu to cope, plus allies like the Pandaren who knew the Mogu's weaknesses, this war was even easier than attacking the courtyard.
After a siege battle and an encounter battle, the allied forces gained some understanding of the Mogu's combat power. According to the allied forces' strength, they could completely defeat the Mogu and Trolls.
Thus, Salador began to prepare to attack the palace complex.
In the palace complex, Irene had almost understood Narak's spells. Narak's spells indeed had some unique aspects, but more often, he relied on the abilities granted by Lei Shen to cast spells.
This type of talented individual, although very powerful, posed little threat to a spellcaster like Irene, who had mastered the fundamentals of Wind Elementals.
Irene handed the scouts over to Inute, then led Narak into the sky.
She manipulated the Wind Elementals to encircle and suppress Narak.
Narak didn't care; in his opinion, talent was the most important thing.
But after he chased her into the sky, Irene suddenly unleashed powerful Arcane spells, directly trapping him in the sky.
Irene controlled the spell with one hand, charging it, while summoning powerful flames to scorch Narak's body.
Narak struggled, but he couldn't escape Irene's control. He used all his strength and finally let out a dragon's roar.
In the palace complex, dozens of Cloud Serpents flew up towards Narak, wanting to rescue him.
Irene frowned slightly, but quickly relaxed. She disregarded the potential attacks of the Cloud Serpents, focusing wholeheartedly on dealing with Narak.
The Cloud Serpents quickly approached, wanting to rescue Narak. Just then, dozens of red figures flew rapidly, blocking their path.
Inute arrived with the Golden Crows and Flame Druids, blocking these Cloud Serpents.
Irene fiercely tormented Narak, and soon Narak could not hold on. He slammed his head against the Arcane shield, using his last bit of strength to break the shield slightly, then released all the lightning power within his body.
For a time, the entire sky was filled with lightning.
In the depths of the palace complex, a thick bolt of lightning rose, striking all targets flying in the sky.
Irene quickly cast a spell, creating a shield to block the lightning.
But the lightning was incredibly powerful; it directly shattered Irene's shield and struck directly at Irene.
Seeing that she couldn't dodge, Irene immediately activated the beacon crystal.
The Rainbow Bridge rose, and Gale appeared before Irene, blocking the lightning.
The lightning was thwarted, and an angry voice came from within the palace complex, "Who dares to challenge Lei Shen's will?"
