In the civilization system of the world of Draenor, Shattrath City is a very special existence.
It is not like the arakkoa kingdom of Tongtian Peak or the ogre tribe of Gorgrond, which has clearly expressed its surrender to the Dark Blade Legion and is willing to become a vassal of this death kingdom. It is also not like Nagrand.
Like the orcs and the Khajiit tribes that spread throughout Draenor in a nomadic manner, although on the surface they are coldly neutral with the Dark Blade, they secretly maintain a peaceful tacit understanding with the Dark Blade Legion.
It is more like a stubborn old man, standing so stubbornly on the northern edge of Terokkar Forest, almost at the center of the entire Draenor world, proudly refusing to surrender to the Dark Blade, and occasionally causing some trouble.
Weird things.
This city managed by the Naaru is like a resistance base camp in the world of Draenor. The slums in its lower city are filled with exiles from all races in the world. They are all people who cannot forget the pain of the past.
As for those who choose to fight against the Dark Blade, there are of course some careerists who are afraid of instability in the world, or some deeply hidden cultists and drug addicts addicted to blood thorns.
Most of these guys choose to spend their daily lives in the Tianya Tavern, getting drunk, swearing and swearing, living in the fantasy that "they are actually a resistance hero", and trying to use curses or other damn things.
Kill the surrounding death knight legions, or fight to the death in a dark alley for a little scrap.
Gangs are rampant in the slums, and have even formed a large-scale industry. Even the Broken Sun Fighting Group guarding Shattrath City has no way to deal with these gang members hiding in the slums, because the poor ecology of the slums has led to such desperate gangs.
There is simply no way to kill all the molecules.
It can be said that most of the exiles in Shattrath City have actually lost hope. They just can't swallow the humiliation of the Dark Blade. They are a group of poor people who gathered together to keep warm. In the early years, some of them had
The bloody exiles would also organize their own battle groups to rush out of Shattrath City and fight guerrilla warfare with the Dark Blade Legion. However, as the bloody resisters were killed one by one and resurrected as undead, the slums
I completely lost hope.
They think they are resisting, but in fact they are just surviving.
As long as a city has slums, it must have an uptown area, and the same is true for Shattrath City. On the second floor and suspended three-story platform of this three-level superimposed gem city, there live the real masters of this city.
A creature with the right to speak.
Most of them are Draenei living in Shattrath City. During the Orc War, Shattrath City was attacked and burned by the orcs, but soon the orcs abandoned it, and some who were not so willing to retreat like this
The Draenei broke away from Prophet Velen's troops and quietly returned to the ruins of the city. With the help of the Naaru who returned to Draenor from the stars, they began to rebuild the Sand Tower with their own hands and hard work.
Sicheng.
These draenei people have experienced the most painful war, so in the process of rebuilding the city, they also formed their own legion, which is the Shattered Sun Chapter. Its leader is the city defense general Tirasalan, who is a veteran in the city.
The powerful garrison who followed the prophet Velen since the time of Argus World, and the Draenei Legion in Shattrath City also has its own shaman and priest troops. They call themselves "Aldor" and live in Shattrath City.
On the three-story platform of Tars City, the High Priest Ishana is commanding.
This magic army guards the only road from Shattrath City to the Nagrand Grasslands, and deals with the threat of several ogre tribes operating on the edge of Shattrath City.
It can be said that the force of the Draenei Legion stationed in Shattrath City is very powerful. Although in the eyes of the high lord Tyrion, the Shattered Sun Chapter is only an insignificant existence, but if this war-torn army is
If the Legion is put into Azeroth, it will definitely be a first-rate Holy Light army!
The Broken Sun Chapter is loyal to the Naaru Adal who has protected Shattrath City several times. This light naaru is gentle and extremely wise. It is said that he is one of the first naaru born in the holy light among the stars.
, it once led other naaru to find allies in the void after the draenei entered the world of Draenor, so it failed to protect the draenei during the orc war. However, after rushing back to this world, it and other naaru
The Naaru helped the draenei rebuild Shattrath City.
This Naaru can be called a qualified leader.
However, Adal has never talked about his origin, which seems to be a taboo, but there are rumors that Adal and several of his Naaru followers had a long-standing relationship with Zera, the Mother of Holy Light.
The ancestor Naaru had some disagreements, so he left the Legion of Light.
The senior leaders of the Broken Sun Chapter and the exiles in the slums have completely different ideas. These mature and prudent draenei are very aware of the influence of the Dark Blade in Draenor. They have never thought of fighting against it head-on.
The only insistence of these Holy Light Warriors guarding Shattrath City is to stick to this Holy Land of Holy Light. They are very satisfied with the current confrontation between the two sides, and they are not willing to actively provoke a war.
General Tirasalan, who has faced Tyrion several times, knows very well that once the war begins, Shattrath City will be completely razed within a few days. This is not the case for these poor people among the stars who have been fleeing for 25,000 years.
Hope to see.
But now, in the 18th year after the Dark Portal opened, the Broken Sun Chapter, who was willing to maintain neutrality, had to take up arms again because a new war was coming.
The enemy is not the undead...but a group of lizardmen!
————————————————————
"Warriors of the Naaru! Charge with me!"
On the city wall where the shouts of killing shook the sky, General Tirasalan carried a heavy halberd, turned over and jumped on the fully armed Holy Light Thunder Elephant. He grabbed the reins and roared loudly. Behind him, more than 50 Thunder Elephants
The knights also formed a charging formation. As these war thunder elephants weighing several tons began to howl and charge, the entire thick wall of Shattrath City began to shake.
In front of the charging Thunder Elephant Cavalry, a lizardman vanguard army took advantage of the darkness of night to rush out of the lake in the east of the city and climbed up the city wall at an extremely fast speed. These cold and cruel reptiles appeared before the lizardman official
Under their leadership, they defeated the defenders on the edge of the city wall of Shattrath City with a violent fighting posture. They destroyed the rune circle of the holy light barrier surrounding the city, causing a loophole in this large barrier.
General Tirasalan must recapture the magic circle in the shortest possible time. If the lizard people are allowed to continue to destroy it, the holy light barrier protecting the city will soon completely collapse. At that time, facing the attack of the lizard people's army, it will be shattered.
The setting sun and the entire city will inevitably pay a heavy price.
This complex city is not ready for war. He and his warriors must buy more time for Shattrath City!
"The Holy Light will win!"
The Draenei generals who charged with the Thunder Elephant Cavalry shouted sacred slogans. The manic Thunder Elephants swung their sharp tusks with steel thrusts, swaying left and right, those who attacked the enchantment formation.
The lizard men were knocked into the sky, or rushed out of the city wall by the powerful impact. The heavy halberd in General Tirasalan's hand also slashed left and right. Between the halo of the holy light combat skills, he and his
The Thunder Elephant Knight seemed to rush into an uninhabited land, beating those arrogant lizardmen back again and again.
At the same time, the city defense cannons located around the city platform on the second floor of Shattrath City also began to calibrate their positions. These cannons were second-hand goods purchased by the draenei from the arakkoa and ogres through the underground black market. According to
In Dark Blade's military model, weapons retired from the frontline legions will be distributed to the servant army. However, in a peaceful world like Draenor, the arakkoa and ogres have no use for the weapons they obtain, and simply resell them to others.
People can also earn a little bit of money.
Regarding such behavior, the Dark Blade Legion turned a blind eye. Those resold artillery had already lagged behind the formal armaments of the Dark Blade Legion. Even if a small number of weapons fell into the hands of the enemy, it would not be of much consequence.
threaten.
Although these old weapons have some minor flaws, they are battlefield killing weapons used by the Dark Blade military.
Nearly a hundred artillery pieces were purchased there. In addition to filling the city's defensive firepower, they also imitated some of their own. However, because the number of people in Shattrath City was limited and people's hearts were divided, the matter of expanding armaments was abandoned in the end.
Already.
But now, these well-maintained artillery have played a key role. The formation of dozens of artillery firing together is quite astonishing. The shells falling from the sky with long tail flames hit the ground outside the city wall.
Cutting off the backing lizardman front, between the roaring explosions, the flesh and blood of those cold-blooded reptiles covered the entire soft ground.
Amidst the roar of artillery fire, the unique gem weapons of the Draenei people were also set up on the higher Aldo Highlands. Under the order of the high priest Ishana, the shamans of Aldo quickly
Charge these gem weapons. Between the beating of thunder and lightning or the flames, and the rotation of those weird gems, endless powerful energy rays sweep across the lizard man's position, forcing those savage cold-blooded creatures back.
"They are retreating! Warriors! Hurry!"
General Delaney shook his halberd and threw aside the flesh and blood stumps on the halberd. Behind him, the Holy Light Priests who came with the army began to repair the destroyed enchantment circle as quickly as possible.
, but just when the Thunder Elephant Knights retreated and began to defend the magic circle, a group of lizardmen took advantage of the interval between the artillery pauses and, led by a tall lizardman officer with gray-white crusty scales, howled and rushed forward.
The city wall.
"Hot-blooded creature! Die!"
The tall lizardman officer was the lizardman warrior who led the team to destroy the terminal on the coast of Terokkar not long ago. His name was Kugard. He was a blessed warrior and was more powerful than ordinary lizardmen.
, and more courageous.
"Bang"
The war spear thrown by the lizard man Kugard accurately penetrated into the flesh and blood of the Thunder Elephant under General Tirasalan's crotch. The giant beast howled at the painful stimulation and threw General Delaney behind him to the ground.
On the ground, this sudden attack caught the Thunder Elephant Knights off guard, and they soon fell into a dilemma of close combat with the savage lizard people.
"哐"
General Tirasalan climbed up from the ground and threw away the heavy halberd, pulled out the long sword shining with holy light from his waist, and held the shield tightly with his other hand, accurately blocking the hammer sword thrown by the lizard officer.
The huge force hit the general back a few steps, but in the flash of the power of the holy light, Tirasalan quickly regained his footing. He used exquisite swordsmanship to fight with the gray-white lizard officer for a moment,
Then he saw the opportunity and dodged the heavy weapon thrown by the lizard man sideways. The agile draenei took a step forward and slapped the lizard man Kugard hard on the chin with the thick shield in his hand.
"ah!"
Kugard let out a cry of pain. The blow broke several teeth in its mouth, and the heavy blow to the brain made Kugard unsteady. The brave Draenei caught him
Seizing this opportunity, he called for the power of the Holy Light, and the golden flames condensed into substance behind him. The floating golden war hammer rotated crazily around his body, as if a holy storm had been set off in place.
The lizard man Kugard's strong body was swayed left and right in the holy storm, and he kept retreating. However, this energy offensive was enough to kill an ogre, but it failed to seriously injure the lizard man in front of him. The fierce
At the moment when the holy storm ended, the reptilian creatures roared and raised their weapons, as if they were about to perish together with the Draenei general.
But the long sword in Tirasalan's hand pierced Kugard's thick and tough skin first. Between the scales and flesh torn, Tirasalan kicked Kugard's abdomen, tearing the gray-white
The lizardman warriors kicked down the walls of Shattrath City.
The Draenei general stood on the city wall. He clearly saw the gray-white lizardman smashing on the ground under the city wall. He saw the injury on Kugard's chest healing. In just a few seconds, the severely injured lizard
The man climbed up from the ground with difficulty, and under the protection of several lizardmen spearmen, he returned to the lizardmen's main formation.
"This savage fighting posture, this terrifying self-healing power... what kind of monster is this!"
General Tirasalan rubbed his sore wrist. It was not easy for him to win. If the gray-white lizardman warrior had more combat experience, he would have fought very hard.
But now is not the time to think about that.
"Kick them off!"
Tirasalan turned back with his sword and rushed into the chaotic battle behind him. Under his leadership, the Thunder Elephant Knights dismounted and fought on foot. Relying on their excellent equipment and the blessing of the Holy Light, they once again drove these lizardmen away.
After descending the city wall, a few minutes later, the destroyed holy light barrier in Shattrath City was repaired, and the entire city was once again enveloped in a semicircular golden shield.
This barrier of holy light is held up by several naaru. In theory, the lizardmen who lack siege firepower cannot break it.
But this doesn't mean that the lives in Shattrath City can rest easy...
"General! Your Excellency Adal is calling you!"
An arakkoa messenger flapped his wings quickly and landed next to General Tirasalan, bringing a message from Naru'adal:
"The distinguished Naaru said that there is an important matter that I want to discuss with you. Please go to the Hall of Holy Light as soon as possible."
