Although Shattrath City has a population of more than 700,000, most of the people are refugees who have come here to avoid disaster and have long lost their will to fight.
Counting the reinforcements urgently dispatched by Windsor from Nagrand and Hellfire Peninsula, the defenders on Shattrath's defense line only numbered ten thousand, mainly composed of Mag'har orcs, draenei and Stormwind.
Kingdom soldiers composed.
In a very short period of time, the number of faceless men who are still growing has exceeded one hundred thousand, and the vanguard of ten thousand troops has rushed to the vicinity of the defense line.
"Smash you!"
Gruul, who had been impatient for a long time, was the first to join the battle with his eldest son Du En. The thick-skinned Gronn completely gave up on defense, and he could kill at least two digits of enemies with a casual punch and lift of his legs.
.
In this kind of large-scale melee, Gruul didn't even need to consider the fighting skills that Sarlayan had taught him before.
When Onyxia spread her wings and took off, Medivh, who was standing on the high ground behind, calmly began to prepare a large spell.
With these powerful demigods stationed at the rear, Sarlayan did not believe that the faceless men alone could break through the impregnable defense line that had been laid out in advance, but it would only take a lot of time to deal with it.
On the undersea battlefield, Sarlayan basically confirmed a fact.
Goen'am, who forcibly adapted to the high-concentration evil energy environment, has long since lost her mind and the possibility of continuing to grow. Now she is just a beast struggling to survive.
This kind of enemy without the ability to think independently is much easier to deal with than the perfect ancient god with high intelligence.
Goen Amukong has great power, but he is unable to fully unleash it and just follows his instinct to attack randomly.
Sarlayan's mood was a little complicated. He originally planned to use this naval battle with the ancient god to preview the future decisive battle with Enzos.
But now it seems that the gap between Goun'am and Enzos is very large, and this preview may not achieve the expected effect.
The relevant considerations only passed by for a moment, and Sarlayan did not want to be distracted during the battle.
Goun'am instinctively identified Sarlayan as the individual who threatened him the most.
The tentacles that kept protruding from the depths of the sea ignored Vashj and Adal who were falling behind, and whipped around Sarlayan crazily. Some of the weirdly shaped tentacles could also emit fel energy rays from their tips.
Sarlayan's flexibility in the water was far inferior to that of Vashj. He chose to use his strengths and avoid weaknesses, minimize swimming time, and use space to teleport forward a little bit.
However, due to the effect of spell recoil, Sharlayan could not always use flash to rush forward without any scruples, and had to spend time killing those annoying tentacles.
Amidst the ebb and flow, Vashchi and Adal, who were charging at full speed, gradually caught up, and the three of them re-formed into a small team formation.
With Vashj's help, the pressure on Sarlayan who came forward was significantly reduced, and Adal also took the opportunity to once again strengthen the already shaky protective barrier on Sarlayan's body.
However, during the time when the three of them formed a formation and regained their strength, it seemed that endless tentacles completely surrounded the sea area where they were.
If it weren't for the light spell that Adal released centered on himself, nothing would be visible on the dark seabed.
'Continuing to waste it like this is not the way to go. We must create an opportunity to kill with one strike.'
Sarlayan told Adal and Vashchi of his impromptu plan with gestures, and both of them expressed their support without hesitation.
'In that case... let's take a gamble.'
Under Sarlayan's command, Adal built an extremely strong small defensive barrier.
Both Sharlayan and Vashj could feel the vibrations of countless tentacles attacking the surface of the barrier, but these attacks were powerless against Adal's turtle shell.
At least before A'dal's own energy reserves are exhausted, there is no need to worry about the ancient god in poor condition being able to break through his defense.
Sarlayan's Dragon Tribe Stared straight into the depths of the sea. The eagle eye technique penetrated the seemingly endless "forest" of tentacles in front of him, and met the sight of Goun'am's one-eyed man who was full of madness.
.
Placing his hands on Vashj's smooth, scaly shoulders, Sharlayan established a temporary soul link with her through direct physical contact.
Soul links cannot be established casually. It requires a high degree of tacit understanding between both parties to achieve a two-way link.
Until now, the only people who have been connected to Sarlayan's soul are his relatives and friends, and Vashj is probably the first outsider with a relatively distant relationship.
This method of trickery cannot last long. As soon as Sarlayan lets go of his hand, the already unstable link will be disconnected immediately.
Sarlayan did not expect to maintain it for a long time. He only needed to temporarily share his vision with Vashj, so that her vision could pass through the tentacles in front of her and directly lock on the position of Goun'am's eyes.
One of Vashj's hands held the staff and began to cast spells and enchantments, while the other hand slowly opened the longbow, an artifact given to her by Queen Azshara.
As the bowstring is covered with a light gray halo, the solid arrows resting on the bowstring are also dyed with the same color.
This physical arrow is also extraordinary. It comes from Queen Azshara's treasure house and has extremely strong armor-breaking and demon-breaking effects.
Azshara once owned most of ancient Kalimdor, and every year a large number of highborne nobles would provide Her Majesty with the secret treasures discovered in their respective territories.
Therefore, the quantity and quality of the treasures stored in the treasure house of Azshara's Eternal Palace are difficult for modern people to estimate, and any piece taken out can be regarded as a national treasure by some countries with weak foundations.
The arrow on Vashj's string doesn't have a fancy name, it's called the Demon-Breaking Arrow.
This is a one-time precious consumable that cannot be recycled once fired.
But correspondingly, the power of the Demon-Breaking Arrow is also very terrifying. When it is shot into the enemy's body, it can temporarily block the opponent's energy flow, forming a demon-banning effect in a short period of time.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! That’s right, a forbidden magic with all attributes.
Regardless of whether it is evil energy or void, as long as you are hit by this arrow, you will completely lose the ability to control energy within the effective time.
The spell that Vashj enchants on the arrow is not a large-scale spell. Its only function is to greatly increase the force of the arrow when it leaves the string, and it can also increase the range in disguise.
With the guidance of the soul link, Vashj locked the target and shot the demon-breaking arrow without hesitation after completing the charge.
The arrow from the string lost its momentum and tore apart the densely packed tentacles like a sharp cone of light, rushing straight towards the target position.
Under the expectant gazes of Sharlayan and Vashj, the Demon-Destroying Arrow hit the target as expected.
"Ouch!
"
Goen'am, whose one eye was shot out, let out a hysterical scream. The flow of energy in her body was temporarily blocked, and the large number of tentacles controlled by her remotely fell down.
After shooting this arrow that gathered all his strength, Vashj was temporarily out of power and had to stay in place for a while to recover.
Sarlayan did not miss this excellent opportunity.
Before he continued to charge forward, Adal replenished Sarlayan's many buff spells for the last time.
After locating the position of Goun'am who was spraying blood on the seabed, and taking advantage of this guy's temporary loss of resistance, Sarlayan activated the long-distance teleportation technique for the first time since the war began.
Through the precise positioning of the Eagle Eye Technique, he was teleported directly in front of Gao En'am's exploded eyeball.
Withdrawing the Valarjar Great Sword, which was opened and closed, Sarlayan instantly assembled the Staff of Balance that was more suitable for piercing, injected a large amount of colorful protective power into it, and assumed the best charging posture for throwing a spear.
‘Let’s go!
’
[You are too courageous, let me teach you a line for the gun-throwing ultimate move.]
[This blow penetrates the stars!]
【Always feel...a bit familiar?】
【Why not - this is! Sparta!】
Sarlayan had no time to pay attention to the usual barrage of magic tricks. He charged up and threw the Balance Staff like a spear, and followed the wound made by the Demon-Breaking Arrow further into the core of Goun'am's body.
A few seconds after the Staff of Balance entered the body, Sarlayan could clearly feel that Gao En'am, who was still struggling to death, had completely lost his activity.
To be precise, her soul died and was completely annihilated by the death power contained in the Staff of Balance.
Ansu, who was left fighting in front of Shattrath's defense line, was suddenly shaken, and an indescribable strange feeling filled his body. His movements were a little inaccurate for a moment, and the shadow spell he just cast almost accidentally injured an ally.
"This is……"
Anzu's short wings began to expand at a speed visible to the naked eye, and his body, which was very small compared to Rukhma, also quickly grew in size like a balloon.
"The curse of Seth...is lifted?"
After being distracted for a moment due to the huge changes in his body, Ansu quickly came back to his senses with surprise.
