When Arthas returned to the fortress, Liam began to persuade him:
"No one knows what the battle situation is like on the front line. If the worst happens, if you rush over with tens of thousands of troops, it will only increase casualties!"
"Then are we going to watch like this?"
Arthas frowned. He looked back at the Nydus Worms outside the sand, who had been forced back by the mines. After the leader fled, those insects with low intelligence completely lost their command. Under the temptation of the bold knights,
It is easy to step into a newly laid minefield and be blown to pieces.
This simple and cheap weapon provided by the goblins unexpectedly showed a strong trial effect. This weapon is perfect for defensively resisting a huge swarm of insects.
"General Shandis has just sent a request for help. This proves that the frontline legions are still resisting tenaciously. Look at what the fortresses in the rear are like. The situation facing the frontline must be worse. We can't just give up on those warriors!"
Alsace said stubbornly:
"What's more, the Seventh Legion is also trapped in it. It is the most powerful legion in the empire, as well as the infantry of the empire. Due to circumstances and reasons, we cannot just sit back and watch all this happen!"
"No! You misunderstood me."
Young Liam explained hastily:
"It's not that I won't let you go to support. What I mean is that we have to wait for the forest elf troops from Un'Goro Logistics Base to arrive and take over the fortress. Then I will go with you... Do you understand? Whether it is to support the frontline retreat
, or work hard to find a way to join the frontline legion, and to complete the battle, you need a legion with complete combat effectiveness, not a makeshift one..."
"drop!"
The conversation between the two was interrupted by a sharp voice. Arthas turned around and picked up the special communication stone. The next moment, the voice of Patriarch Moyana came from it:
"Here we are, everyone, support the magic barrier of the fortress! The first round of covering bombardment is coming!"
After saying that, the Patriarch's voice fell silent. Arthas and Liam looked at each other and saw the confusion in each other's eyes. They knew that in Un'Goro Crater, the Blighters had summoned an army of plants.
, but due to the harsh environment of the desert, this army can only be used as an assault force when necessary, but they have never heard of the Wither having a complete artillery...
But out of trust in the Patriarch, the natural barrier of Cenarion Fortress was propped up after a moment. The difference between this thing and human magic barrier is that when the barrier is opened, it does not use magic power.
To protect the building, the plants buried in various nodes of the fortress were stimulated, just like the fast-growing shades of trees. Those strong, special oaks that were imbued with natural magic grew rapidly, just like the sky closing.
Generally, the entire huge fortress is protected within it.
And just 2 minutes after the natural barrier opened, at the observation post, Alsace used a telescope to see a green army marching quickly in the desert. Those tall ancestral thorn beasts were rows holding weapons.
There were forest elves with spears, some tall velociraptors tamed by the wither druids, and even a few devilsaurs equipped with steel armor, which made the mountains shake as they walked.
But at the forefront of the forest elf army was a legion that Alsace had never seen before. It looked humanoid from a distance. They wore uniform black armor. Their style was very similar to the Dark Blade Undead across the sea, but
Arthas was certain that those who came were not undead.
"Boom, boom, boom"
Nearly one kilometer away from the fortress, this army was also discovered by the large insect tide that surrounded the fortress. The ferocious Qiraji soldiers and the huge number of Qiraji immediately separated into a black "tributary"
", amidst the noise of insects, they quickly rushed towards the lining up legion. However, the moment they stepped into an invisible boundary, the thunderous sound of artillery firing resounded throughout the sky.
.
The sound of the artillery is completely different from the sound of the artillery fire currently used by the Empire, and the shells fired by the pushed artillery are even more different from the solid bullets or grenades used by the Empire. They are pointed and conical...
Alsace clearly saw in the telescope that a sharp cannonball roared into the sky, drew a perfect arc in the air, and then turned around and plunged into the swarm of insects below. However, when it touched the ground
Previously, this weird cannonball exploded in advance, and the air wave that exploded above the insect swarm blew the insects away. In the rising flames, smaller cannonballs were smashed into the area covered below.
Real explosive shells... Each shell that hits the insect swarm can clear an area of several hundred meters in radius. This outstanding killing effect is stronger than the artillery of the Human Empire.
Moreover, the number of artillery pieces possessed by this force is also extremely astonishing... From Alsace's perspective, at least 300 artillery pieces were firing together in this wave.
The rapid and powerful explosion completely stunned the bugs. In the past few months, they had fought with the coalition forces and had adapted to the coalition's artillery offensive. The bugs could continue to charge despite huge casualties, but this wave,
No...the lethality of the specially-made shells was too astonishing. The "tributaries" from the insect swarm had been beaten to pieces between the two explosions.
As a result, the bugmen besieging the fortress had to divide more bug swarms to deal with the strange army that had begun to accelerate.
Moana stood on top of a tall Devilsaur. The Wither Patriarch held a wattle cane and spread his hands like a magician. The desert wind blew her long white hair, and she was in the dark.
While reciting the natural mantra, a rare, huge, and violent natural force passed through Moyana's body, sweeping across the desert in front of her like an invisible gust of wind.
Amidst the teeth-breaking clicking sounds and the stunned gazes of everyone in the fortress, the dark green and almost black vines rushed up from under the desert where no vegetation could be born, like pieces of wildly waving plant tentacles.
, the Patriarch summoned nearly a thousand vines with one person's power. The skin of those vines was covered with sharp barbs. They pierced into the bodies of the rolled up insects and sucked out the liquid from the bodies of these evil beings.
.
After these vines absorbed enough liquid, some more terrifying monsters appeared on the sand. It was like a huge flower, with tentacles of vines to help move it, and behind the blood-red buds,
It is a group of ferocious and intertwined disgusting vines, which looks like the "body" of this monster, and in the center of the flowers that occasionally open, there is a series of interlaced sharp teeth that make people's scalp numb, which looks like the monster's "body".
face...
These newly born piranha flowers are very hungry. The moment they crawl out of the sand, they open their huge mouths and swallow the surrounding bugs together with the dry gravel. These piranha flowers have a great appetite.
, they can swallow more than a dozen bugs at a time, and even if their bodies are torn open by bugs, the corrosive "blood" wrapped in the huge stomach pouch will scatter like a cannonball, destroying any contact.
The insects that got into the liquid corroded it cleanly.
These violent plants with various postures have appeared for the first time in Kalimdor, but in the dense forests of Stranglethorn Valley in the eastern continent, these blood-sucking vines and piranha-eating flowers like gluttonous animals are the most terrifying existences.
.
The scenes of demons dancing in front of them made the timid soldiers turn their heads. The terrifying sight of those ferocious bugs being strangled by vines was enough to make people tremble in every nightmare. These were violent plants, representing the other side of nature.
And this terrifying vine is just the vanguard of the plant army that engulfs everything...
"rush!"
The Harvest Wizard Oort stood on a gravel stone, and the wooden war sickle in his hand swung forward violently. The Primordial Jing Beast, which had already been unable to hold back due to lack of water and drought, released the huge war spear in his hand.
Ping, with roars like mammoths, these top war machines of the Wither began to run wildly on the sand. The scene of monsters weighing several tons charging together was terrifying. Even the soldiers far away in the fortress were shocked.
You can feel the earth shaking.
Facing the swarm of charging Primordial Jing Beasts and the forest elf warriors riding behind them, the insectoids who barely broke out of the vines had no time to adjust their front line and had to face the savage stampede of the Jing Beasts. This kind of thing has never been seen before.
Yes, the monster exuding endless violent aura made the bugs make a squeaking sound. It was obvious that these guys with low IQs felt fear.
What's more, after the Jing Beast, there is an entire army ready to go.
However, under the orders of the insect priests here, the insects could not resist. They screamed and rushed towards the plant army in front of them with a suicidal charge. In the vast yellow sand, the two armies fiercely
They collided hard together, and the next moment, the sea of insects was easily broken open by the Primordial Jing Beast.
These are plants... Their sense of pain is weaker than that of flesh and blood creatures, and they have almost no fear in their hearts. The biting and segmentation that insect people are good at are completely worthless to plants. These are spawned from plants.
The army entering the desert can only stay for a very short time. In other words, the Wither Druids have no intention of keeping this plant army for too long.
They are cannon fodder...but more powerful and more ferocious than insect cannon fodder.
"Shua"
The gray long sword was returned to the scabbard. The hooded Varian looked at the swarm of insects that were completely suppressed by the thorn beasts and forest elves. He shrugged and said to the fully armed orc Broeddy Bloodfist beside him.
:
"It seems there is no need for us to join the war..."
The orc who was holding a shotgun restlessly, carrying a staggered battle ax and a heavy shield, and a red headband on his forehead pouted:
"Really? That's really disappointing."
Varian doesn't care about the bellicosity of his companions. Judging from the current situation, he needs these bellicose warriors, but his battlefield is obviously not here. Varian, who arrived at Un'Goro Crater after a long journey, heard that
After hearing what happened at Cenarion Fortress, he set off with Patriarch Moana. Following behind the forest elf army was Varian's army.
He called it...the Bloodfang Legion.
"Lord Darius."
Varian turned around and looked at the indifferent middle-aged man behind him who was riding a war horse, wearing armor, and carrying a shotgun and a heavy axe. He said softly:
"Let the soldiers speed up. We don't have much time to rest in the fortress. I need every soldier to join the battlefield in the best condition. Can this be done?"
Faced with Varian's question, Darius Crowley, the former Northern Duke of Gilneas and now the Bloodfang Legion Legion, nodded calmly, his gray eyes staring at those who were being slaughtered by the Wood Elf Legion.
insects, he said in a hoarse voice:
"If there is only such an opponent...even the lowest third-class soldier in the Blood Fang Legion will not be afraid..."
"very good!"
Varian nodded, and then looked at Cenarion Fortress in the distance where the natural barrier was slowly opening. He sighed and said softly:
"Then, let's go into the city...to meet our old friends."
————————————————
"Thank you for your timely support, Patriarch."
After the Wither Druids entered the fortress, they saw the legion ready to go and the two kings in full armor. Arthas held his helmet and thanked the Patriarch and said:
"Your arrival gives us no worries anymore. The frontline legions are trapped in the Qiraji ruins. We must rescue them as quickly as possible. I won't say more... In short, the defense of the fortress is
I leave it to you."
"Well, I understand the anxiety of the current situation. Go with peace of mind, Your Majesty Alsace."
The Patriarch also heard about the drastic changes on the front line from his father. The loss of the wilderness demigod Agamaggan was an unexpected thing for the front line army. Now that it has fallen into the siege of the insect people, how can it be safe?
Pulling back the frontline legions is the most important thing.
But the Patriarch did not forget her other mission. She turned sideways and gave way to the hooded man who was following behind her. The moment he saw the hooded man carrying a gray sword on his back, Arthas felt it.
A strange emotion.
He recognized him! He must have known him, and he was definitely a very important person to him. His Majesty Liam, who was standing next to Alsace, was attracted by the soldiers following the hooded man.
"Who are you..."
"Shua"
Varian reached out and lifted his hood, revealing his weathered face, the knife marks at the corners of his eyes, the battle scars on his face, and his eyes burning like flames.
The childhood brothers met again, leaving Alsace speechless for a moment. The helmet he held in his arms fell to the ground. He looked at the man smiling at him in disbelief. The next moment, Alsace
Just like he did when he was a child, Si stepped forward and gave Varian a firm, warm hug.
"Welcome home...brother..."
This was the most sincere thing the young king could say, and Varian also felt a little moved. He reached out and patted Arthas on the back, saying:
"Long time no see, but now, it's time for us to go to the battlefield, brother."
