Due to the turmoil caused by Sharlayan and Onyxia on their way out of Ankahet, the originally well-formed Fallen were thrown into disarray. Effective cooperation between the various teams was unable to form, and their combat effectiveness was greatly affected.
Impact.
Anuchinsky, who was observing from behind the city wall, saw an opportunity and led his troops to the expedition himself, despite the objections of his adjutant.
The Nerubians of the Crypt hold a transcendent status among the Nerubians, not only because the insect-men of this family are powerful, but also because they have never been far away from the people they need to protect.
Including Anub'Rekhan, who unfortunately died in battle not long ago, the Crypt Nerubians never flinch when their country and people need them.
It is this spirit of fighting together with the people that has won them the recognition of the general public, and has even been elevated to the level of worship by the entire clan.
Anub'Rekhan's death was undoubtedly a great loss to Azjol-Nerub.
After the news reached this border checkpoint, Anuchinsky was asked by his nervous adjutants to try not to go to the front line to fight in person.
Anuchinsky felt dumbfounded by the concern of his subordinates.
As a general who guards the border, it is impossible for him not to fight on the battlefield.
However, he could not ignore the good intentions of his subordinates, and tried to exercise restraint in battles where he did not need to fight personally.
But once the fighter planes arrive, Anuchinsky will still charge on the front line without hesitation.
Just like now.
"boom!"
While waiting for Onyxia to use the Blade of the Dark Empire to break through the faceless man's soul defense and read its memory, Sharlayan suddenly heard a series of dull loud noises coming from outside the city wall.
Since there was nothing to do for the time being, Sarlayan used Dru Yin's wind spell to lift himself into the air and peered over the towering city wall.
The huge underground spider demon had rushed to the front line of the battlefield without knowing it, and dug its two front legs deeply into the ground.
A large number of black spikes made of pure energy stabbed out from under the ground of the Fallen Army without any warning. The loud noise Sarlayan heard before was the sound made by these spikes when they broke out of the ground.
[Appeared, the underground thorn of the Crypt Lord.]
[The real Azeroth, this move looks very domineering, much more handsome than in War3.]
Through the barrage discussion, Sarlayan realized that these black energy spikes came from Anuchinsky, which seemed to be the signature skill of the Crypt Nerubians.
Unprepared, at least hundreds of Fallen were pierced into the air by spikes that suddenly emerged from the ground.
At the same time that Anuchinsky retracted the spikes, the defenders of Azronirub, who had been well prepared, immediately pounced on them and beat up the drowned dogs before the enemy's subsequent reinforcements could come up.
Due to the massive consumption of life force, Sarlayan's physical strength was close to being exhausted, but his mental power was basically not depleted.
Although unable to rush to the front lines and fight alongside the Nerubian defenders, Sarlayan could at least cast spells to support them from a distance.
These fallen ones seemed to have received someone's death order and had to rescue the kidnapped faceless men. Even though they suffered heavy losses under the attack of Azjol Nerub's defenders who were waiting for work, they still insisted on not retreating.
It was precisely when Anuchinsky saw this that he took action personally regardless of his own safety.
If the Fallen's attack this round can be thwarted in one fell swoop, the Fallen, who are unable to replenish their own troops, will most likely turn from prosperity to decline due to heavy losses, causing both sides to completely shift their offensive and defensive positions.
Not only did Anub'arak want to retake the ancient kingdom of Ankhet, which had been occupied by Yogg-Saron's lackeys, this goal was also a long-cherished wish shared by all the Nerubians.
If they want to return to the peak state of the ancient kingdom, the Nerubians must first regain their ancient homeland, otherwise it will be impossible to rise again.
For many years, Anuchinsky has been trying to find an opportunity to severely damage the main force of the Fallen in one fell swoop.
The Fallen are not undead natural disasters. Although they can also rely on captives to transform into nerubians to replenish their troops, they are not as convenient as the undead after all. They are not afraid of being raw and cold, and even the mutilated corpses can be assembled for you to continue using.
Once the losses in a certain key battle are too great, it will be difficult for the fallen who cannot be replenished to put enough pressure on Azjol-Nerub, and this situation will become more and more serious as the number of fallen ones further decreases.
Yogg-Saron was unexpected when Sarlayan and Onyxia broke into Ankhet and captured the Faceless Man. The Faceless Man who was responsible for delivering the message was one of its most convenient messengers.
There are many important secrets buried in my mind, if they are cracked by the enemy...
The consequences would be disastrous and might even disrupt its overall plan.
After weighing the two factors, Yogg-Saron, who thought that Azjol-Nerub could not withstand the undead army's attack, no longer cared about the consumption of the Fallen. At worst, he would wait until Azjol-Nerub was destroyed before competing with the Undead Scourge.
The top priority is to recapture the kidnapped Faceless Man, otherwise Yogg-Saron may not even be able to sleep peacefully.
In fact, Yogg-Saron thought too much. The secret that it thought no one knew yet was actually told by Sharlayan to Wyrmrest Temple and Azadas and other guardians.
Yes, this secret is Loken's betrayal and surrender to the enemy.
The reason why a full-scale attack on Ulduar has not yet been launched is simply because the Nalak'sha Engine has not yet produced enough troops to defeat the Iron Army.
The fog of Pandaria has not yet been lifted, and Azadas cannot send the infinite energy of the Forge of Origin to the Holy Platform of Mogu'shan shrouded in fog without any loss.
Due to insufficient energy supply, the Nalaksha Engine can only rely on the magical spring water in the Valley of Eternal Blossoms for energy, and its production efficiency has never been improved.
Moreover, the efficiency of the Proto-Turtles in transporting the stone Titan-forged armies is also limited by the number of their groups.
As long as the fog of Pandaria doesn't dissipate, Sharlayan's violent plan will not be able to move forward at full speed.
In view of this, Sarlayan's schedule clearly mentioned visiting Pandaria again.
This time, he planned to persuade Emperor Shaohao to completely dispel the fog.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! But before that, Sarlayan must first let Shaohao confirm that Pandaria is determined and capable of defeating the seven evil demons that reappeared after the fog cleared.
This is not an easy task to achieve and must be considered in the long term.
Sarlayan made a preliminary plan. To defeat the seven evil demons, he needed to mobilize all Pandaria races, including the yaungol, jinyu, and hozen, and he also needed to persuade the four supreme gods to join the battle.
Of course, a certain amount of troops must be deployed to guard against the mantid that is ready to move.
That's too far.
All in all, what Yogg-Saron thought was top-secret information had actually been known to the Guardians of Azeroth camp for a long time.
Just because they haven't accumulated enough counterattack force yet, everyone is pretending to be dumbfounded and deliberately paralyzing Yogg-Saron and Loken.
Sarlayan, who had not yet recovered his physical strength, hid behind the city wall and cast spells remotely. The fallen ones pouring out from the ground continuously were cut off from the front and rear formations by a sudden rising storm wall. The front formation surrounded by Nerub's army suddenly became a target.
A turtle in a urn without support.
Anuchinsky, who was fighting, was stunned for a moment when he saw this. He guessed that there was an elder hidden among the previous batch of "friends" who came to report the news, and was secretly helping them defeat the enemy.
The fighter plane was fleeting, and Anuchinsky did not remain dazed for long. Taking advantage of the enemy's reinforcements being temporarily blocked by the wind wall, he led the Nerubian army with high morale to divide and encroach on the scattered Fallen front army.
When Sharlayan could no longer maintain the wind wall, only a small part of the Fallen's front army was left with its retreat blocked, and it was surrounded and lingering in the center of the enemy's formation.
The Nerub army headed by Anuchinsky is eagerly waiting for the reinforcements of the Fallen to arrive, preparing to adopt the tactic of encirclement and reinforcements, stably and efficiently reducing the total number of enemy troops, and preparing for the future counterattack on Ankahet.
Base.
"nailed it!"
Onyxia's confident voice came from directly below Sharlayan floating in the air.
Seeing that the battle situation on the front line was no longer suspense, Sarlayan dissipated the wind and fell back to the ground.
The poor faceless man had been stabbed in the head by Onyxia with the Blade of the Dark Empire.
When the body dies, its soul is also wiped out of consciousness by this magic weapon, turned into pure soul power and stored, and will later serve as Onyxia's spell-casting medium.
"How about it?"
Sarlayan asked expectantly: "Did you find any valuable information?"
Onyxia, the fun-loving person, rarely showed a serious expression: "Your guess is correct. Yogg-Saron secretly instructed Loken to turn a blind eye to the expansion of the Undead Scourge."
"Although there is no explicit alliance contract signed, these two guys with different agendas have reached a tacit understanding in some aspects."
"It's like sending out troops at the same time to share the food of Azjol-Nerub, who is about to perish."
"As for who can grab more benefits in this carnival, both parties will have to rely on their own abilities."
"besides……"
Onyxia's face showed a sarcastic look: "Yog-Saron doesn't seem to know yet. We have long since discovered its collusion with Loken, and we are still trying our best to conceal this fact."
