Due to the need to carry out multiple operations at the same time, Sharlayan did not intend to waste too much time on Mannoroth.
Mannoroth's personal strength is indeed very strong, but that's all.
The king of the abyss lords does not rely on his strong command ability to lead the army, but his terrifying combat power of taking the lead every time.
The statement that demigods can form an independent army is not entirely an exaggeration.
It may be difficult for the Nathrezim who have just stepped into the threshold of demigods to do this, but the Annihlan are born for war, and they themselves are synonymous with war.
When Archimonde was conquering cities for the Burning Legion in the universe, Mannoroth was his favorite vanguard general.
The position of Vanguard requires a lot of force, and Mannoroth is usually perfectly qualified for the role of Vanguard.
But that being said, Mannoroth is not without weaknesses. On the contrary, his shortcomings are as obvious as his advantages.
In addition to his strong personal strength, Mannoroth's military command ability is not even average, and his resourcefulness is ranked last among the senior officers of the Burning Legion.
In other words, when encountering Mannoroth on the battlefield, as long as he can use enough combat power to offset the huge threat posed by him rushing into the battle, a commander with a little bit of brains can use some tricks to outwit him.
.
However, today's Mannoroth will not underestimate the enemy like he did when fighting Grom and Thrall alone in the original history. He has already started preparing for war and will definitely face the coalition's attack with a fully prepared attitude.
Therefore, Sharlayan must find a way to defeat Mannoroth himself head-on.
As long as this powerful abyss lord is killed, the leaderless demon army will soon be defeated by the "surprise" falling from the sky that bypasses the canyon's entrance to the sky.
The three green dragons headed by Lannaris alone could barely hold onto Mannoroth, and this was obviously not enough.
Before Sharlayan and Tyrande set off from Andarius, he commissioned Malfurion to send a letter to the Alliance camp at the foot of the mountain.
While Medivh was busy preparing for the ceremony, Onyxia, who received the summons, rushed over as quickly as possible to meet with Sharlayan and Valeera.
Medivh, who deliberately concealed himself, was only responsible for presiding over the ceremony. Guyin, Tyrande and Talisa stood in three formations to form an equilateral triangle, and Grom Hellscream, who was tightly restrained, was
Surrounded in the very center of the ceremony venue.
Witnessed by the three of them, through the coordination of Medivh, the three of them simultaneously used three purification spells with different principles on the ritual circle at their feet.
"Uhhhh!!"
As the purification spell integrated by Medivh entered the body, Grom, who was tied up so that only his head could move, had blue veins bulging on his forehead.
The pain originating from his soul made this tough guy from the Warsong Clan unable to help but let out a scream that was not like a human voice.
"Hoo! Hoo!"
After about three minutes, Grom, whose whole body was completely soaked with sweat, fell limply to the ground.
His eyes were still blood red after being deeply eroded by evil energy, but Sarlayan and others who were watching could feel that Grom's ferocious beast-like aura had weakened, and his sanity was returning.
"Gu Yin'er...I...I'm sorry."
Although the demon's blood intensified many negative emotions in his heart, making it difficult to control his own behavior, Grom did not lose his memory during this period. He clearly remembered everything he had done.
After regaining his self-control, Grom lowered his head in shame under Gu Yin'er's disappointed eyes.
"I failed to live up to your expectations."
Guyin'er's expression was a little complicated: "The decisive battle with Mannoroth is about to begin, and now is not the time to hold people accountable."
"Grom, if you want to undo the mistakes you made, come with us. This is our best chance to redeem the curse of the orc bloodline."
"certainly!"
Grom gritted his teeth hard: "Manolos... I will use the blood roar to open his head, so that my people can regain their precious free will and never be influenced by any external force again!"
…
After making all preparations before the war, Sarlayan, who did not want to waste any more time, immediately ordered the entire army to attack.
The sheep attack force led by Varok deliberately beat gongs and drums and slowly approached the entrance to the Demon Slaughter Canyon, and soon received a response from Mannoroth who had been waiting impatiently.
Because he had suffered a loss when he personally charged into the battle before, Mannoroth learned his lesson this time and did not charge forward immediately. Instead, he sent a small group of demons to use the defenses to test the strength of the enemy's attack.
He himself stood at the Chinese military position not far behind the entrance of the canyon, always monitoring the battle situation ahead.
Varok Saurfang's order was to lure as many demon defenders as possible to the First Line of Defense. The tauren army led by Magatha Grimtotem and the main force of the Darkspear Trolls under Vol'jin also
They all followed behind the orc army.
Judging from the momentum, this army aiming to attack the sheep was very large, and most of the soldiers were deployed by Sarlayan to the frontal battlefield.
The airborne troops, composed of elite members from the three tribes, have also taken to the skies on their respective flying mounts and are on standby.
As long as the Green Dragon launches a full-scale attack to seize air superiority, the airborne troops can bypass the extremely defensive frontal defense line and penetrate directly to the rear, giving the Burning Legion a double flank and forcing the demons on the defense line to focus on one thing and not the other.
Because Sharlayan had told Lanalris in advance, while he was out visiting Thalyssra and Tyrande, the green dragons consciously used guerrilla warfare to kill a large number of Mannoroth's air forces.
When the decisive battle began, there were already very few Doom Guards still guarding the sky above Demon Slayer Canyon.
Although there are some anti-air fel cannons installed on the first line of sky defense, it is not that easy to accurately hit the green dragon with high mobility.
Mannoroth patiently observed the changes in the battle situation ahead, and continued to send reinforcements forward according to the pressure faced by the defense line.
Unknowingly, the number of demon soldiers guarding Mannoroth became smaller and smaller, and the situation on the frontal battlefield gradually became intense.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! But this is only the superficial situation. The coalition forces commanded by Varok seem to be attacking fiercely, but in the eyes of Sarlayan, it is thunderous.
Raindrops are light.
Unfortunately, Mannoroth, who was not very smart, failed to realize this and continued to send reinforcements to the front line, causing the defense around him to become weaker and weaker.
However, even if he could be aware of this problem, Mannoroth, who was extremely confident in his own strength, would not take it seriously.
He is looking for the right opportunity to enter the battlefield, trying to completely defeat the coalition's attack point by point.
At the same time, Sarlayan, who was riding on Onyxia's back and suspended in the sky, began to issue the latest orders.
Due to the overly dense vegetation and foliage that obscured the sky in the Ashenvale Forest, Mannoroth did not even notice that there was a group of old men lurking quietly in the sky far above the aerial battlefield.
After using the powerful insight of Eagle Eye to confirm that the defense around Mannoroth continued to be weak, Sharlayan gestured to the airborne troops behind him in the high altitude with thin oxygen, and at the same time used the soul link to notify Onyxia to start taking action.
.
"Wuhu! Let's go!"
The fun-loving Onyxia cheered and increased her speed as fast as she could at the moment it started. A huge black shadow broke through the leaves above the forest and charged towards the middle of the canyon where Mannoroth was.
Flying mounts such as wyverns, giant eagles, and dragon eagles also followed closely behind Onyxia, swooping down through the hole in the leaves created by her collision. The knights on their backs were all ready to parachute at any time.
Such an obvious movement naturally attracted Mannoroth's attention, but when he was about to order the air force headed by the Doom Guard to meet the enemy, he suddenly discovered a problem.
Under the continuous attacks of the Green Dragon, his air force has been basically destroyed.
The airborne brigade led by Onyxia quickly rushed into the canyon. Sarlayan and Valeela jumped up from her back at the same time, each showing their magical powers and landing smoothly.
In order to clear a safe enough landing environment for the subsequent airborne troops, Sarlayan activated Ursoc's incarnation in mid-air.
The giant bear with its body engraved with magic patterns was very eye-catching. A mound hit the place next to Mannoroth where the demons were most concentrated. The huge mass fell to the ground and triggered a man-made earthquake in a small area.
Valeera also used the hook lock to quickly maneuver at the right time. Taking advantage of the unstable footing of the demon who was lucky enough to escape the fat bear falling from the sky, she harvested the lives of several demon officers one after another.
When the extremely angry Mannoroth raised his spear and planned to kill Sharlayan personally, the Shadow Flame Dragon Breath that Onyxia had already brewed sprayed towards him.
In desperation, Mannoroth could only drag his bulky body to dodge backwards, missing the best opportunity to stop Sharlayan from sweeping the battlefield.
"Pooh!"
After spitting out the demon limbs in his mouth, the transformed giant bear from Sarlayan looked at Mannoroth who was about to burst into anger with a half-smile.
"Ma Fat, your performance is over, prepare to leave."
