The red dragons are willing to help the human army fight against the undead. In addition to the fact that human mages helped the red dragons rescue the red dragon queen who was imprisoned by the orcs a few years ago, there is another reason. The red dragons themselves are the guardians of life.
There is an instinctive disgust for the undead that are born from death.
And now, on the battlefield in the Wildhammer Highlands, with the human rear army formation almost collapsing under the bombardment, the red dragons, one of the trump cards of the human army, finally appeared. They flapped their huge wings and flew past the humans.
When they were above the position, some red dragons lowered their heads and sprayed out dragon fire, shrouding the chaotic human soldiers below in flames, but they were not attacking their teammates.
The breath of the red dragons is very strange. It has two characteristics: life and destruction. As long as the red dragons are willing, the dragon fire they spit out will carry a huge amount of vitality, and the humans burned by the dragon fire will not be able to breathe.
You will not feel pain, but will be cured by it. This is a treatment method that looks very cruel.
But when these big lizards approached the army of the undead, the pillars of fire they lowered their heads and spurted out were unmitigated fires of destruction.
In those scorching pillars of fire connecting heaven and earth, any skeletal undead enveloped in them will be ignited and quickly turn into a pile of ashes under the intense flames. The dragon fire breath lasts for a very long time.
If the dragons are willing, they can even burn down the entire undead army in a short period of time.
This is why Luminas was worried about this formation before the war began. She had seen with her own eyes what damage the dragons' breath could do to the undead.
"Well, it's really spectacular!"
Danaus Trollbane looked at the military formation shrouded in dragon fire in front of him. The scene of nearly a hundred red dragons flying almost covered the sky. Under their wave of breath, nearly ten thousand fragile undead skeletons were
It was completely reimbursed.
The red dragons are obviously capable enough to protect their place of residence. These beings at the top of the food chain in the mortal world of Azeroth possess power that mortals can hardly imagine.
And just when the red dragons let out a cheerful roar and planned to move forward and start attacking the undead formation, Rogelio, who had been waiting for a long time, finally saw Danas's raised left hand. Under his scolding,
The high-ranking knights who controlled the Sunshine Heavy Cannons locked onto their targets one after another. The firing of these golden, complicated and magical ray cannons was silent and extremely gorgeous.
"Whoosh"
Nearly 20 scorching golden rays penetrated the sky in an almost sudden manner. The first batch of red dragons who were caught off guard were hit by these scorching rays that were powerful enough to penetrate the big demon's defense. There were several huge dragons wailing on the spot.
He fell to the earth in pain of burning flesh and blood, and was slowly submerged by the black undead.
Although not many dragons were lost, the appearance of this weapon made the red dragons that had completely occupied the airspace subconsciously retreat. They did not know that the interval between each launch of the Sunshine Heavy Cannon was very long, but once this kind of
Weapons that are likely to kill if hit still make these powerful creatures feel threatened.
Several giant dragons scratched by the scorching rays retreated into the swarm in the sky wailing, and their painful howls stopped other giant dragons from rashly breaking through the airspace blockade.
In the position below, Danas opened his pocket watch again and looked at the time. After confirming that the 60-minute limit had ended, the undead general looked up at the red dragon in the sky. He shook his head disdainfully and said to the people around him.
The high-ranking knight herald said something, and a few minutes later, the two battle groups that reorganized began to roll forward.
It was like launching a final general attack, ignoring the threatening roar of the dragon in the sky, and launched the attack of the sea of the undead towards the withered and chaotic human position.
The rampant attitude of the undead flying the black Broken Blade flag soon angered the red dragons in the sky. This was the first time that they were completely ignored by weak creatures, which caused great harm to the hearts of these powerful creatures.
, some reckless red dragons roared and were about to pounce down to give the undead a good look. But at the same moment as the undead army charged, in the northwest of the Wildhammer Highlands, in the direction of the Ruby Holy Land, there was a loud sound that shook the earth.
The explosion sounded.
When the red dragons looked back, they could see the black smoke floating over the holy land they were guarding. This made the older red dragons roar with unforgivable anger, and there was also a hint of undisguised anxiety.
In response to their orders, most of the red dragons almost immediately abandoned the human army below who was struggling against the Sea of the Undead and rushed back towards the Holy Land. The Red Jade Holy Land contained unhatched red dragon eggs.
The basis for the existence of the Red Dragon clan, under this threat, the survival of mankind is no longer important.
Of course, the red dragons did not do anything. They still left nearly 10 red dragons to help humans. But when the undead began to charge, the artillery under Commander Rogelio was released, and all the artillery was aimed at it.
The sky, including those dangerous sun cannons, and the barrage attacks that hit the sky in waves, made the red dragons dare not make a dive at all. Once they flew close to the ground, they were easily defeated by those cunning people hiding in the undead.
The high-level knights among them seized the opportunity and jumped behind them with death grip to cause cruel destruction.
It's not that they didn't want to destroy the artillery of the undead, but the five colossi, also commanded by Rogelio, stood guard in front of the artillery position. These kings of land warfare who can fight the most arrogant black dragons in close combat are far from more powerful.
The "delicate" red dragon can be dealt with.
Seeing the last remaining human soldiers, escorted by heavy cavalry and red dragons, retreating towards the coast southeast of the Wildhammer Highlands, Danas did not waste time chasing them. He looked at his pocket watch for the last time and clicked it with satisfaction.
nod.
"One hour and 23 minutes, not bad..."
"Collect the defeated troops, continue to move forward, and cross the mountains of the Wildhammer Highlands within three hours, and then report back to our Majesty. At midnight today, we will launch an attack on the human positions from the northeast of Arathi!"

"Are you sure you still want to chase me?"
Behind the very beautifully dressed bone dragon "Queen", Luminas, who was wearing dark red armor, shouted to the red dragons who were chasing after her:
"There are still many bombs planted in your holy land. Don't you protect those fragile dragon eggs?"
"The murderer!"
The leader of the red dragons in the sky, the son of Alexstrasza the Life-Binder, the red dragon Valastraz shouted loudly:
"For all the atrocities you have done to the great queen and the sins you have committed in the Holy Land, you will become the enemy of the dragon!"
"Sorry, but we probably don't care!"
Luminas sneered and pressed the remote detonation button in her hand without hesitation.
"boom"
Another loud noise erupted under the beautiful and noble tree in the Red Jade Holy Land, and the soaring flames ignited the sky of the Red Dragon Holy Land. Allen once again let out a furious roar, but this could not change anything.
"Let me remind you."
The cold voice of the Death Lord sounded again:
"I can detonate four more times. Consider whether to continue chasing us or go back to protect your holy land... There is not much time left for you."
"Ouch!"
In the annoyed roar of Red Dragon Prince Valastaz, the red dragon in the sky slowly stopped its pursuit wings, watching the Death Leader and her skeleton dragon team fly to the high ground with a series of sharp laughter.
of the north.
"Ma'am, why don't you blow up all the bombs?"
Tur, the high-ranking orc knight, drove his skeleton dragon close to Luminas and asked in a low voice:
"Once we meet up with our formation, it will be useless even if those red dragons chase us. They are just a group of cowards who bully the weak and fear the strong!"
"I also want to completely destroy that place. Since we are already enemies, there is no need to show mercy."
Luminas let out a sigh of regret, and threw the remote detonation device invented by the goblins in her hand to the orc death knight:
"But we don't have that much explosives at all... We are very lucky to be able to set up three detonation points in 10 minutes."
The orc knight Tur repeatedly pressed the big red button, but no matter how hard he pressed, there was no explosion sound. The cunning death knight understood immediately, and he said in a praising tone:
"You are really a genius at deception, ma'am, look at those big lizards, they are being deceived by you."
"But if I had more skeleton dragons in my hand, we wouldn't need to use such deceptive means at all. I don't care about the victory we get through deception."
Luminas brushed her fiery red hair. She turned back and glanced at the Red Dragon Holy Land emitting gunpowder smoke behind her. She said softly:
"Let's go, don't stay too long, these big nosy lizards will cause trouble sooner or later."
————————————————
On the frontal battlefield of Arathi, the Dark Blade Undead who successfully crossed the 750-yard strait and entered the Arathi Highlands did not give humans much breathing time. Under the continuous aerial bomb attacks of the Screamers, Arathi
The southern fortress group was severely damaged, but even after losing one-third of the fortress, the soldiers under Lothar gritted their teeth and struggled to fight off the waves of undead attacks in the ruins.
Tyrion gave most of the artillery to Danaus for surprise attacks from behind. This resulted in a frontal battlefield where the firepower on the undead side was weak. At least facing the number of artillery on the wall of the large fortress across the plain in front of him,
Dark Blade can be called the weak side.
The defender with the support of superior firepower will have an advantage in such a battle.
Seeing another wave of advancing skeletal undead being drowned in the explosion of cannonballs falling from the sky, Tyrion complained to the archlich next to him:
"If I had a few cans of the little cutie you prepared..."
"Even if I give you the plague, you won't be able to use it."
The Archlich calmly dealt with the Dark Blade King's complaints, and a dim smile flashed in his silver eyes:
"You don't want these warriors to die in a humble manner in the plague. You would rather kill them with your own hands and let them die on the battlefield. I understand that fighting the enemy with your hands and feet tied is sometimes so frustrating, but restrictions are necessary.
, the biggest enemy of the undead is not the human empire, but the unfettered evil thoughts in our hearts. I very much agree with your views, this is great."
"Okay, you better understand me."
Tyrion shook his head. He looked at the solid fortress in front of him and said softly:
"Can you find a way to throw the colossus in? As long as five colossi enter the fortress, we can capture it immediately."
"It's a very good idea. With the destructive power that the Colossus can unleash in a short period of time, it is indeed possible to break through the blockade very quickly, but the problem is that I can't do it."
Khadgar shrugged, he also looked at the city wall in the distance, and said:
"There are a few of my "old friends" there. The space anchor nodes are set up almost perfectly and are difficult to destroy from the outside. Why don't you let your vampires hidden inside humans give it a try? Maybe you only need to sacrifice a few
, we can destroy the node, and then we can capture this place effortlessly."
"Just a fortress? No, they're not that cheap."
The Darkblade King replied:
"If it were Lordaeron or the city of Alterac that stood in front of me, maybe I could order them to sacrifice themselves, but now, the rewards and efforts are too disproportionate."
"Danath has broken through the Wildhammer Highlands. The victory or defeat will be at midnight today. Let us wait patiently... After dealing with this place, there is still an even more troublesome Stromgarde. If we cannot defeat Stromgarde, we will occupy it.
No matter how much land you have, it will be useless."
And at the moment Tyrion finished speaking, a high-level knight riding a horse from behind came to Tyrion and handed him a crystal exuding strange power. Tyrion was watching.
When he saw the scratches on the surface of the crystal, he frowned deeply.
He nodded to the Arch Lich, then turned and left, while the Arch Lich looked back at Tyrion's hurried away figure, with a glimmer of inquiry shining in his silver eyes.
Something Tyrion had been looking forward to, but something that made him worried happened... There was no doubt about it.
At the same time, in the twilight forest far away from the battlefield of Arathi Highlands, under the vigilant and curious gazes of the high-ranking knights, a figure taller than an ordinary human leaned quietly on a stone chair, in front of his eyes
There was a communication crystal placed on the table. A few seconds later, Tyrion's figure appeared above the communication crystal. He looked at this tall human with a cold aura all over his body and brown eyes.
Tyrion could tell at a glance that this half-giant was a vrykul...a vrykul undead, a type of undead that did not exist in the Black Blade Legion.
"What did the bitterly cold storm in the North bring to me?"
Tyrion asked a confused question, and after a few seconds, the robot-like undead vrykul said in a hollow voice:
