Chapter 1145 The decisive battle begins. Archimondes terrifying strength
"Pure world?"
Archimonde's self-satisfied opening remarks of the battle made Sarlayan, who was standing in the distance and constantly monitoring the progress of the battle, burst into laughter.
"The Burning Legion really puts a premium on themselves. This is the first time I've heard of someone using green flames for purification."
Sarlayan could still joke relatively calmly, but Valeela who was following him didn't have such a good attitude.
As Archimonde fully released his momentum, his terrifying pressure could be felt on the entire mountaintop battlefield, and the movements of both the enemy and ourselves became somewhat stiff.
Compared with most of the Azeroth coalition soldiers who were facing the Defiler's momentum for the first time, the soldiers of the Burning Legion could adapt faster. After all, it was their immediate superiors who unleashed this momentum.
Valeera, who was watching all directions, noticed the bad situation on the frontal battlefield, and complained to Sarlayan with a slightly nervous expression: "You still have the intention to joke?! What should we do now? Let Tortola and Go immediately
Delin joins the fight?"
"Of course not." Sarlayan smiled and patted Valeera twice on the head: "Don't be nervous, little squirrel, adjust your mentality first, and continue to act as planned."
"Leave the frontal battlefield to Jarod. This unexpected change will not have much impact on the battle situation. Don't forget, Jarod faced Archimonde 10,000 years ago. For this
We have already prepared for this situation.”
As Sharlayan said, not long after Archimonde's pressure began to force the coalition forces, Jarod calmly commanded the coalition mages headed by Jaina and Thalyssra to lay a layer of knots on the battlefield as planned.
boundary.
This barrier does not have much protective effect in a substantial sense, it is specifically used to deal with Archimonde's aura and coercion.
As the blue-purple magic barrier enveloped the position on the top of the mountain, the stiff-limbed coalition soldiers quickly resumed their normal actions.
"Don't mess around!"
Jarod is still in command: "The dwarf and dwarf legions let the artillery on the city wall roar! The archers raised their bows, obeyed the orders of the commanders of their respective troops, and were ready to launch!"
"Kane, Ulan, lead your men on the mounts, and as soon as the city gate opens, leave the city and charge into the formation!"
"Arcanists are always ready for anti-air defense! The first wave of siege hellfire is coming!"
As early as 10,000 years ago during the War of the Ancients, Jarod had figured out the three axes commonly used by the Burning Legion in their attacks.
The starting move must be hellfire from the sky. After one round of destruction, aerial units such as the Doom Guard will be arranged to take off. The ground backbone headed by the Demon Guard will also coordinate the attack.
As expected, Darrian, the last remaining high-level demon officer around Archimonde, adopted a very classic Burning Legion attack mode.
Just after Jarod issued a series of orders, a large number of "meteorites" trailing green tail flames began to rain down from the sky above Mount Hyjal.
Since they already had a response plan, Jaina and Talisa calmly commanded the arcanists to build a second barrier specifically designed to defend against the impact of Hellfire.
"Boom! Boom boom boom!"
The successive hellfires hit the solid arcane barrier with violent sounds. Judging from the depletion state of the barrier, the defense will not be penetrated by these disorderly siege hellfires in a short time.
Relying on fortifications can block the average demon soldiers, but it is difficult to block the demon sergeants with unique skills.
Except for Darrian who was still commanding from the rear, all kinds of weird and low-level demon officers were mixed in with the charging hordes of demons, trying to fish in troubled waters.
Fortunately, Sarlayan set up a plan in advance and almost annihilated the Burning Legion's air force. When attacking this last line of defense, there were only a sparse Doom Guard and improvised gargoyles and other structures in the sky.
Under the cover of the Dragon Clan, the coalition's air force had the absolute upper hand, firmly holding air control in its own hands.
When the demonic officers hiding in the crowd tried to take advantage of the chaos to scale the city wall and seize the city, the heavy city gate that was originally tightly closed suddenly opened inward with a creaking sound.
Giant kodo beasts, as tall as 2-3 tauren, stood behind the city gate and were waiting.
"Shuharu! Charge with me!"
Cairn Bloodhoof, the tauren warchief of Kalimdor, puffed out two streams of white air from his nose, raised his battle ax and shouted loudly: "Mother Earth will protect us! For Azeroth!"
"Ho! For Azeroth!"
"Boom!"
A large number of Kodo beasts turned from static in a very short period of time. This heavy mount with huge mass made a lot of noise when it launched a group charge. The demons in a small area were staggered for a while under the influence of the violent vibrations coming from under their feet.
Unsteady steps.
"Intruder! Die!"
Cairn Bloodhoof's leading ax cut a demon leader in half. Ulan Highmountain from Highmountain was not to be outdone. Soldiers of the Highmountain Tauren rode the special horned deer of Highmountain to guard the Kodo beast.
The flanks of the heavy cavalry.
The sprint speed of Kodo beasts is not fast, but their endurance and mass are large enough, and the impact force when forming a heavy cavalry array is very terrifying.
The only weakness is that it is not flexible enough. Someone needs to cover the two wings when charging.
The high-horned deer light cavalry of the high mountain tauren can just make up for this shortcoming. The two tauren teamed up again after thousands of years. The first round of charge gave the Burning Legion a powerful blow when they tried to cross the city wall and seize the city.
At the same time, the coalition archers commanded by Sylvanas raised their bows to the sky.
Since air superiority is firmly in the hands of the coalition forces, long-range units do not need to spend too much energy assisting the air force in defeating the enemy.
Under Sylvanas's command, archers of all races used a condescending projection method to let rain of arrows fall on the back of the Burning Legion, specifically targeting those legion spellcasters.
"boom!"
Kul Tiras' new artillery, controlled by dwarves and gnomes, also roared. In comparison, Quel'Thalas's magic cannon caused less noise, but was even more powerful.
The Burning Legion also competed with each other and launched fel artillery. The two sides fired at each other across the towering city wall reinforced by various magic layers. From time to time, cannonballs hit the city wall, splattering a large amount of debris.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! After surviving the first wave of the Burning Legion's power, the coalition forces began to counterattack in an orderly manner under Jarod's exquisite command. On the battlefield, you and I fought back and forth.
They have become one, and it is not clear which side will have the upper hand in a short period of time.
After confirming that the frontal battlefield would not collapse easily, Sarlayan, who was sitting in the rear, focused all his energy on the extraordinary battlefield.
"Archimonde...this guy is really quite ferocious."
Seeing how the Defiler was still able to move freely under the attack of five demigods, Sarlayan's brows frowned unconsciously.
Archimonde is not a reckless man who only uses his physical strength to fight. Before he joined the Burning Legion, he was the leader of the Eredar scholar organization - the Enlightened.
The so-called initiates are actually the mage organization in Azeroth's knowledge.
In other words, Archimonde is essentially a spellcaster, but he also has strong physical fitness that can be used in melee combat.
In a battle of the same level, the Defiler, who has both magic and martial arts skills, has no shortcomings, and he cannot be defeated in long-range or melee combat.
In the few minutes that Sarlayan was distracted from paying attention to the frontal battlefield, Alexstrasza, who was at the front, had a lot of wounds on his body.
Although these wounds were healing at an extremely fast speed with Cenarius's auxiliary treatment, Sarlayan, who was a bystander, did not dare to look at the battle situation optimistically.
Because new wounds appeared on Alexstrasza's body faster than they healed.
This is still the case with the full assistance of Nozdormu, Yinsera and Cenarius. The bronze dragon's time sand spell and the green dragon's dream protection have helped Alextar reduce a lot of pressure from facing Archimonde.
.
Spellweaver Malygos was fighting Archimonde with full firepower.
While maintaining the suppression of Alexstrasza, the Defiler was able to cope with the blue dragon king's crazy attack with ease.
In this high-end battle situation, even Cenarius, a demigod, could only hide at the back of the battlefield and did not dare to step forward at all.
Judging from the scene, the team of five demigods was temporarily tied with Archimonde, but this was when Malygos' full output occupied part of the Defiler's attention.
With the continuous charging of the Azeroth Leash, Malygos's offensive will not weaken, but sooner or later his offensive routine will be figured out by Archimonde, who is extremely experienced in combat.
At that time, Alexstrasza and others will really begin to face tremendous pressure.
Sarlayan stared closely at the nearby demigod battlefield, which was darkening the sky and the earth, and did not dare to move his eyes for a moment.
"It's almost time to start taking the initiative to retreat. Come on, Archimonde, the 'surprise' performance Azeroth has prepared for you has just begun."
