Hunting in the Yellow Sands of Silithus, today is not a great day, at least not a memorable day in any civilization, but history will remember today and this ordinary day.
Because it has become great from now on.
"Soldiers!"
Staghelm's deep and magnetic voice spread through every corner of the 150,000-person stronghold through the amplification magic blessed by Dalaran's mages. From the sky, the phalanx above the desert
It's like a special layer of "gauze" put on the ground, which can even remind people of the scene of the insect attack.
"I am Fandral Staghelm. 1,000 years ago, I was here, right where you are standing. I led my soldiers to fight a fierce battle with the insects, in the yellow sand under your feet.
, perhaps there are still buried the loyal souls whose bones were buried here 1,000 years ago.”
Staghelm used Common Language, a simple language that could be understood by the vast majority of the soldiers present.
"We lost that battle...but 1,000 years later, I came back here. The reason I came here is the same as you, it's very simple...defeat the bugs and regain the life we deserve!"
"Soldiers! Our life should be like this, have a family and relatives, protect them, and give everything for them!"
"But bugs don't think so. Their only purpose is to destroy our lives, kill our relatives and friends, and tear everything we cherish into pieces. Even the future of our children will be destroyed by them.
Completely cut off with a disgusting neighing sound!"
"Are you willing to accept this future?"
"Are you willing to watch bugs destroy everything we are sworn to protect?"
"Are you willing to see your wife and children fall under the charge of the insect-men?"
Deer Helm's voice rose up, like a roar, and this simple question made the soldiers in the phalanx commotion.
Maybe the soldiers came here because of their faith, because of the inspiration of the gods, because of the empire's orders, because of enough remuneration or profit, but it is undeniable that they can still stand here after seeing the brutality of the insect people.
Everyone in the world is not a coward...the coward would have run away long ago, or been eaten by bugs.
Why are they standing here?
It is the inner instinct of protection. Even the stingiest goblin has something that he is willing to do anything to protect... It is this belief that makes the 150,000 soldiers of different races stand here in front of them.
"1000 years ago, I lost my son here! My beloved!"
Lu Helmet's next words made many soldiers widen their eyes. After all, Lu Helmet is the commander-in-chief, and not everyone knows about his family affairs. But today, under this sunshine, Lu Helmet will feel the most pain in his heart.
I opened the scars with my own hands.
"After he died, they told me, they comforted me, that sometimes...sometimes I can't save everyone."
"So now, I stand here! Soldiers, I do the best I know and the best I can!"
"On this battlefield, if our brothers can survive, I will protect them, just like you!"
"But if our brother dies in battle, I swear..."
Deer Helmet waved the quicksand scepter in his hand, and his voice became deeper and deeper, more unforgettable:
"The insect will pay ten times or a hundred times the price!"
"The price of protection has always been high. We have paid everything for it, and it is the insects' turn to pay the price!"
"Soldiers, today, let us question them with the weapons in our hands..."
"Qiraji...are you ready to suffer?"
Under the catharsis of emotion, and under the gaze of hundreds of thousands of soldiers, the scepter in Deer Helmet's hand hit the beetle gong behind him fiercely. His voice became hoarse due to the roar, but it was as if he had been in pain for thousands of years.
Like the sharp blade that was finally unsheathed, it pierces the heart of every soldier with high fighting spirit:
"After a thousand years...we are back!"
"The coalition...must win!"
"Bang"
The quicksand scepter struck the golden gong plate engraved with beetle patterns, and the deep sound spread throughout Silithus like muffled thunder. Even the kings of Cenarion Fortress heard the sound.
, they stood up subconsciously, and in the magic light curtain in front of them, they could see everything on the front line.
They could see the vast desert becoming turbulent at that moment. They could see the yellow sand flying all over the sky, even covering the sun, forming a rolling storm in the dim sky. The clouds were like giant hands falling from the sky.
Onlookers could feel the suffocating pressure of the black clouds pressing over the city. What was even more frightening was that as the wind roared, the back of the deer helmet stretched extremely long, covering one-third of the entire Silithus Desert.
The black city walls that were all cut off also began to collapse.
It was as if some kind of seal had been lifted, and the black wall that had stood for thousands of years began to crack. Cracks filled the city wall with a harsh sound. The power of the dragon was released, as if there was something
As if an invisible hand was pushing the wall, the wall behind him collapsed as the hair of the nearest Staghelm blew.
Staghelm is also a mature commander. He knows very well what kind of battlefield the coalition forces need to face the insect-man's numerical offensive. Therefore, before unlocking the seal, he and a certain commander have explored the wall on the spot.
, when striking the beetle gong, Staghelm did not release all the dragon power in it, but controlled the flow of power in the scepter.
What finally collapsed was a wall that stretched for nearly 3,000 yards from left to right, as if a 3-kilometer-long "giant door" had been opened on the beetle wall across the desert.
This length is accurately calculated and is slightly narrower than the position deployed by the coalition forces. It allows the heavy weapons equipped by the coalition forces to bombard the city gate wantonly. However, behind the city wall, the insectoids, who have an absolute numerical advantage, cannot expand at this width.
All the troops are equivalent to limiting the numerical advantage of the insect people. No matter how powerful the ordinary insect people are, they cannot push down the beetle walls on both sides that are still protected by the power of the dragon...
But even so, the moment the 3-kilometer black wall collapsed, and the Qiraji who had been sealed for thousands of years appeared in front of the coalition forces, it was still so shocking.
After the light curtain on the wall was torn apart, what caught the eye of the coalition forces was not the common bugs of the coalition forces, but 16 tall stone statues lined up in a row, whose entire bodies were made of black obsidian and were up to 7 meters tall.
, they were like terrifying war weapons, holding heavy obsidian weapons in their hands. Under the leadership of a taller stone statue wearing a colorful helmet, these obsidian giants let out a low roar and stepped out.
Outside the city wall.
Behind them were densely packed tall soldiers, and the most surprising thing was that behind each soldier was a Twilight's Hammer cultist wearing a black robe... The guess of the coalition's top brass was correct.
Yes, these bastards hid behind the Beetle Wall in advance in order to avoid the cold slaughter of the Order Death Knights, but no one knew how they got in when the city wall was blocked.
The moment the city wall opened, a large "black cloud" rushed into the sky from behind the city wall. They were countless winged insects. Under the leadership of the lord, these sky plunderers roared all over the sky.
There were so many of them that the allied forces, who were so powerful, were stunned for a moment.
"Wow!"
"Bang"
The scene of the confrontation between the two sides was interrupted by a flying ax whizzing out. The heavy black battle ax, with the blessing of huge force, whirred through the stagnant air, and accurately chopped at the fastest speed.
On the head of the Soldier Insect Lord, the sharp head of the ugly insect was chopped in half, and the Twilight Hammer Cavalry sitting behind it was also split into two by this sharp axe.
In the midst of the red and green blood splattering, an old orc wearing black armor, riding on a sturdy war wolf, took a new battle ax from the warrior beside him. He moved his neck and made a sound like thunder.
shouted:
"What are you still doing? Don't forget why we are here!"
"Kill all these bugs! For victory!"
Brox Saurfang's roar was like a trumpet. In the shout of that voice, the artillery position that had been prepared for a long time opened fire. The artillery had already locked the shooting elements at the city gate that was about to open.
They didn't even need to take aim. The first round of shells roared out of the muzzle, and 600 explosive grenades hit the heads of the densely packed insect-men. The explosion was enough to shake the ground.
Even with such a dense formation of Insects, after the first round of bombing, the air waves from the explosion and the flying shrapnel almost plowed a path of flesh and blood, separating the Insects in front and behind.
The gunners of the armed airships in the sky also began to howl and shoot. Most of these gunners hired by the goblins with large sums of money were former pirates. They were very familiar with the operation of small-caliber artillery. Nearly a hundred airships were in the air.
Densely lined up, the firing sounds of the small-caliber artillery and heavy machine guns on the gunboats were like thunder hanging over the frontline battlefield.
There were so many worms that at the moment of the battle, 5 gunboats were completely submerged. However, in just 3 minutes, the Qiraji worms lost at least thousands of worms in the massacre of other gunboats.
, however, compared to the total number of bugs, this number is simply a drop in the bucket.
"Ouch!"
The light on the ground surged, and a loud neighing made both the enemy and us froze in place. In the dream-like light curtain, there was a 10-meter-tall head with black thorns wrapped around its body, like the most terrifying god-like earth.
The yellow monster appeared on the sand. The moment the monster appeared, the wild boar people who were fighting madly with the bug people roared in unison, and the bug people who were not afraid of death seemed to feel scared.
The wilderness demigod Agamaggan released his powerful aura, which was like a halo, covering most of the military formation. Its huge head hung down, and the two sharp teeth like razors used by the gods were aligned.
Seeing the dense sea of insects in front of him, its thick hind hooves rubbed against the sand a few times, and between the flicks of its short tail, this terrifying demigod who once killed a river of blood in the sea of demons of the Burning Legion started to activate
His most invincible charge.
Agama's small, star-blue eyes are full of disdain and disgust. As one of the top creatures on the side of order, it has no good intentions towards these bugs.
In the eyes of others on the battlefield, Agamaggan's terrifying charge is like a moving natural disaster. Wherever this powerful demigod goes, whether it is an insect gladiator with brute strength or an elite with cruel nature.
Soldiers and insects, and even the terrifying Anubis giants, were blasted into the sky or crushed to pieces by the rolling yellow sand storm and the endless brute force of the demigods.
The dizzy bug-men fell from the sky to the ground, and were brutally torn into pieces by the wild boar warriors who followed the demigods and launched a desperate charge.
The bugs were also fighting back, but neither their venom nor their sharp teeth were able to penetrate Aga Maggan's thorn armor. The tallest giant, Anubis, waved his heavy sword and blocked Aga Maggan.
At the front end of Magan's invincible charge, the moment the demigod rushed over, the powerful Anubis let out a thunderous roar, and the obsidian sword weighing several tons in his hand hit the demigod's head.
However...
"Bang"
The heavy obsidian giant sword hit the top of Aga Magan's head, and the strongest obsidian was shattered inch by inch. The leader of the obsidian giant was knocked out by the demigod who stopped suddenly, and he was unable to control himself like a rolling log.
The heavy body was like a heavy crusher, crushing the innocent bugs behind it into pieces.
Looking back at the wilderness demigods, the blow from the giant obsidian giant really made the demigods feel the pain. Agamaggan jumped up and down on the ground. This huge monster was just a playful move, and it was a kind of aggravation to the surrounding insect-men.
Disaster, when the body reaches a certain level, no matter how funny it is, it can't hide the cruel destruction.
But after a few minutes, the wild boar demigod got used to the pain, and there was a scratch on its head... The obsidian giant leader's decisive blow did tear the thorn armor on the demigod, but it failed to break it at all.
The rugged skin of the wild demigod...
Under the stimulation of pain, Agamaggan's attacks became more violent, and the insect people's front was divided and trampled by it wantonly. Under the leadership of Agamaggan, those wild boar people who set foot on the battlefield with the gods became even more fierce.
Not afraid of death, they relied on their sincerity to the gods and used their bodies to block the insect-men that kept pouring out from behind the wall of insect armor.
"Follow the demigods! Advance into the ruins!"
The nightmare poisonous scorpion transformed by Staghelit was killing the bugs, and even the carapace on its back was dyed green. Seeing Agamaggan rushing into the gate of the Beetle Wall in the opposite direction with great courage, Staghelit
Decisively issued the order for the entire army to attack.
Under his command, the entire military formation began to advance rapidly. Amidst the roar of artillery fire, the insect line continued to retreat. After paying huge casualties, they still could not drive the wild boar demigod out of the position.
As a result, the entrance to the city wall and a third of the ruins were all in the hands of the coalition forces.
It is no exaggeration to say that Agamaggan is invincible in such a battlefield... and this demigod is one of the true trump cards of the coalition, and this factor that is enough to turn the tide of the battle is the fundamental factor for the insects.
Unexpected.
These insects gathered together are equivalent to stepping into the trap carefully prepared for them by the coalition forces at the beginning of the war.
And the price for stepping into the trap... is the first battle between the two sides...
