Azeroth’s Death Track

Demigod! It...how did it just run away?

The night sentinel general Shandris Yuyue, who was taking over from Staghelmet to command the coalition forces on the front line, saw that the demigod had left the army and rushed into the Qiraji Temple alone. The elf general immediately felt that something was wrong.

The general is not an idiot. When she got in touch with Agamaggan's howls before she rushed into the temple, she immediately turned her head to look at the druid behind her, and asked loudly:

What do the demigod's howls mean before he leaves? What is it trying to tell us?

There is danger there! It is something that mortals cannot resist...

Standing behind Shandris was not the Blightcaller druid, but the orthodox druid stationed in Cenarion Fortress. This young female druid also felt the change of things, and she couldn't help it. Touching the oak pendant on his chest, he said to the general:

The demigod told us to retreat from here, behind the city wall, it will deal with the threat...

Mortals can't resist...

General Yuyue's eyes became more serious. Before she entered the ruins of Qiraji, she had faintly heard rumors about the power behind the bugmen in the upper echelons of the coalition forces. Those strange nerubians came from them. Looking at it now Now, it seems that the nerubians' claims are not groundless.

A pure qiraji cannot make a demigod like Agamaggan feel threatened, that is to say, there is really a dark force behind the qiraji.

Thinking of this, General Yuyue immediately made a decision.

The whole army sticks to it! Orderer, let the Sentinel Corps guard the way of retreat... Let's retreat!

Although it is difficult to accept giving up the position that has already been obtained, the demigod's advice cannot be taken lightly. However, just a few minutes after the messenger rushed out of the position, the battle situation has undergone new changes.

The Insect Legion, which was crushed by Agamaggan just now, has regrouped, lacking the suppression of demigods, and the iconic charge of the Insects once again began to hit the front row of the platform position like a tide. Although the artillery of the Seventh Legion continued to fire, But a simple explosion seems to be unable to stop the bugs from counterattacking.

There are too many of them...

what happened!

The sound of staghelmet came from above, Shandris raised his head, and saw a Stormcrow skimming the bodies of the two winged insects in the air, the sharp claws cut the heads of the winged insects like a knife, and grabbed them The twisted body plunged into the ground.

Between the wind and the sand, the tall body of the deer helmet stood on the sand. The archdruid could see the change of the situation at a glance. On the position in front of him, those wild boars who rushed forward were fiercely It was difficult for the worms to fight back, but those wild boar warriors in heavy armor swung their weapons and chopped up a worm, and they would be thrown to the ground by more worms in an instant.

Rushing too fast, the thousands of wild boars out of touch with the rear are like reefs falling into the tide, and may be submerged by the rolling and furious sea of ​​insects at any time, and no one will save them... because they are already hopeless up.

On both sides of the position, the heavy weapons in the hands of the tauren are constantly firing, coupled with the crazily spraying of the flamethrowers carried by the orcs, and the artillery in the position is constantly suppressing fire. If the few wormholes in the solid rammed earth layer were blown up, there must have been earth-boring worms rushing out of the ground at this moment, giving the coalition forces a center to bloom.

But even so, the rapid changes in the battle situation are still extremely shocking. It stands to reason that even if the bugs want to fight back, their movements cannot be so fast, unless...unless all of this is an illusion, The previous smooth progress, and the vulnerability of the bugs before, all these were illusions.

Thinking of this, Shandris suddenly burst into cold sweat. She raised her head and looked around the position. This is a large platform on the top. Big sand... wait, sand?

Shandris and Deer Helmet looked at each other, and the figure of Deer Helmet changed rapidly. In an instant, a black cheetah in mighty wooden armor rushed out, and it took only a few seconds to cross the position of the large platform. He stood on the edge of the steps in the position and looked back. In the large sandy field that was empty before that, some weird things made of obsidian appeared.

General Yuyue also rushed to the border of the position very quickly, and saw with his own eyes the obsidian statues all over the sand and the earth diggers constantly moving below, as well as the army formed under the command of the high-ranking insects, preparing to attack from the rear. When attacking the soldiers and insects at the forefront of the coalition forces, the body of the elf general shook twice.

Sure enough, this is... a trap!

And farther away, the elf rangers who were ordered to guard the retreat route of the front line, these poor elf ladies and sisters, have already fallen into the siege of bugs hiding underground.

The only good thing is that before departure, the coalition forces took a tough stance and asked them to install a lot of movable thermal weapons, which somewhat allowed the sentinels who were attacked from the front and rear to persist in the sea of ​​insects for a longer period of time.

However, if there is no reinforcements to meet their retreat, this vanguard army that has already penetrated into the ruins... I'm afraid it will be in danger.

Let the rangers move closer to the big platform position immediately!

Lu Helmet glanced at the air knights of the coalition forces who were fighting fiercely with the army of winged insects in the sky. He gritted his teeth and said, Let the air knights also withdraw, reserve their strength, and prepare to break through the insect-man blockade...

Looking back at Shandris, he said softly:

Ask for help from the fortress, and send a reserve army to open the encirclement for you to retreat. Now that the insects are also dispatching troops, you must rush out as quickly as possible!

how about you?

Shandris asked subconsciously, and Staghelmet shook his head. He didn't say anything, but the light in his eyes meant that he would not leave with the army.

General Yuyue is not a person who is not ignorant, she immediately took out the communication stone, but before she could give an order, the bursts of noise from the opposite side of the communication stone hit the worst guess in her heart.

I'm Arthas... We're holding on to Cenarion Fortress! The buggers attacked the fortress... just now!

—————————————————

boom

In the yellow sand under Cenarion Hold, hundreds of bugs rushed out of the holes dug by the huge red burrowers every second. During the monsoon season every year, the crabs washed into the beach from the sea to lay eggs...too many, so many people want to close their eyes.

The heavy firepower above the city wall fired continuously, suppressing the simultaneous siege of the sky and the ground, but with little effect, mainly because the attack came so suddenly that even the most experienced sentinels failed to detect the bugs in advance trend.

The winged insects whistling arrogantly in the sky made a shrill sound, skimming over the walls of the fortress like a dive bomber, grabbing those hapless machine gunners or sentinel sharpshooters into the air, tearing them to pieces, or It was thrown directly from the sky and fell to pieces.

Of course, comparatively speaking, the number of worms besieging the fortress is not large, at least less than the number of worms deep in the ruins of Qiraji where the big siege was launched at this time, and the idea of ​​the worms is obviously very simple They are also vicious, they are not eager to destroy the 100,000 reserve troops in the fortress, they just want to prevent them from going to the front line for rescue.

And after the worms in the ruins devoured the 150,000 troops on the front line, with the joint efforts of the two parties, the Cenarion Fortress, which had stood in the desert for thousands of years, would naturally be easily destroyed.

The calculations of the bugs are clear to everyone with little strategic mind, but the problem is that only this relatively small army really trapped the army in the fortress, because this group came to besiege Amongst the stuffed bugs, there are some special species...

Nydus worms, or burrowers, are widely distributed insect creatures in Azeroth. Generally speaking, these guys are very peaceful and will not actively hunt other creatures unless they are disturbed. But the diggers in the Qiraji are different. They have more solid carapaces than their counterparts in other places, and there are sharp knife-like limbs on both sides of the body. After the fine razor-like teeth are opened, they resemble It's like a monster in a science fiction story.

And the most terrible thing is the size of these Qiraji tunnel worms... Each one is nearly 30 meters long, and the diameter of the snake-like body is as wide as an adult, and the largest of these burrowers, the The monster with a bright red shell, just exposing the upper body outside the desert, has already exceeded 20 meters. Its body hovers above the desert, and it can even rely on brute force to roll up a large sandstorm. It is called Feishazoushi.

And every time, in front of the cruel guy jumping out of the ground and wantonly devouring the soldiers who couldn't dodge, people can think of the legend about the world's giant python in some remote areas at a glance.

This worm is called Oro, and it is said to be the pet of the ancient gods...Of course, the reserve army that has been completely surrounded by tunnel worms here does not know its name, but everyone can see that this terrifying beast Beasts are really hard to deal with.

The crimson eyes of this disgusting monster shone with vicious light. Its huge body was moving under the sand, and every surprise attack was silent. During such terrifying raids, several floors outside the fortress The position fell at an extremely fast speed.

Lead them to the minefield!

His Majesty Alsace on a horse led a cavalry, escorted the soldiers into the fortress, shouted, and led the loyal guards to constantly attract the attention of the tunnel worms. Soon, the cavalry Behind him, several burrowers that kept twisting and advancing chased after him.

There are enough mines in the armament provided by the goblins. It is said that this thing is designed after the weapons of the Black Iron District, but neither the empire, nor the orcs nor the elves have a tradition of using this slightly vicious weapon. Of course, they There is no experience in using landmines, so a batch of landmines were tentatively arranged in the sandy land north of the fortress as a defensive testing ground.

Now, this proving ground comes in handy.

Paladin, Holy Shield Tactics!

Alsace shouted, just before a dozen knights galloped their horses into the minefield, amid the surge of holy light, a light curtain that was weak but as strong as steel enveloped these knights, both men and horses. As soon as they rushed into the minefield, more than a dozen landmines were triggered, but the explosive gunpowder failed to tear the holy shields of these high-ranking knights. On the contrary, following the knights into the minefield More than a dozen tunnel worms were in bad luck.

After Alsace led the paladins across the minefield, they looked back, and on the sandy ground of the minefield, there were a dozen huge bombed-out corpses of tunnel worms, already dyed green. The whole sandy land.

Mines are useful!

Arthas grabbed the communication stone and shouted to Liam Greymane who was in charge of the defense of the army in the fortress:

Liam, take out all the mines in the storage room and throw them into the place where these sandworms live!

Your Majesty! Be careful!

A knight felt the vibration at the bottom, and he pushed Alsace off the horse. The next moment, the giant red tunnel worm Oro roared out from under the sand, the flying quicksand and the riot The air, the scene is like a wild dragon rushing out from under the quicksand.

The five knights who couldn't dodge in time were swallowed by the saw blade and sharp teeth of the sandworm, and even their last words were not left behind.

Bastard! Die!

And this scene completely made Alsace's eyes red. He jumped up from the sand, and the unremarkable long sword on his back was pulled out. The next moment, a round of golden sunlight seemed to rise from the desert. Similarly, in the scorching light that almost melted the gravel, Oro's earth-shattering screams and the shaking of the earth were like mythical war scenes.

Pooh

A few minutes later, Alsace was dragged out from under the gravel by the knights who rushed to the rescue. This brave paladin king was covered in corrosive blood, and his armor was also filled with sand. He kept spitting, spraying all the sand out of his mouth.

It's unlucky to let it go away!

As he spoke, the young king looked sadly at the bones and emblems of the loyal knights on the side of the sand, and then looked at the plain long sword in his hand. Alsace couldn't help but sigh One breath:

If I had a real holy sword in my hand...if pale justice wasn't incomplete...ah...

My family knows my own affairs. Although Alsace has defeated many opponents in Kalimdor and Northern Border with the holy sword in his hand, there is no one who knows the holy sword in his hand better than the sword holder. up.

This holy sword is incomplete, although when necessary, this sword can burst out a super strong impact of holy light in an instant, even a death lord like Dai Lin can't resist it, but the problem is that this holy sword The sword is forged from the shards of the Brilliant Star fused with a huge amount of holy silver and fine gold. It is inherently flawed. This kind of extremely lethal impact of holy light needs to be recharged.

Can only be used less than 3 times a day...and each use takes hours to recharge.

That is to say, the scene where Arthas forced Dailin back with a single sword that night looked majestic, but in fact it was a deceitful tactic. If Dailin insisted on taking Mekkatorque's life that night , Alsace and Jaina joined forces, I am afraid they will not be able to resist.

To be honest, besides the luck factor, Arthas is more willing to believe that the truth of Dailin's departure that night may be more because of Jaina standing beside him.

But now, is not the time to think about this.

Liam, the defense of the fortress is entrusted to you. After the reserve army is assembled, we will set off immediately...

I will command them!
