Prell had ordered Lao Chen to take a group of lightly wounded soldiers, including the remaining troops of the indigenous coalition, to protect the medical team and the logistics battalion, and to withdraw to the rear of the Goldrinn Temple area.
There was no time to take away a large amount of supplies from the tents in the logistics camp, or even destroy them. Prell's only request was to take away as much food as possible.
During the battle to defend Azshara, all the armies participating in the battle carried some food and grass, and later supplies were delivered through Jaina's teleportation spell, and Shandris Feathermoon and Cenarius, who were sitting in the World Tree, also
Provided a batch of food to the coalition forces.
On the other side, Jaina has also commanded the remaining human troops to move closer to Prell. She herself is leading a group of cavalry and mages to meet Thrall and others.
The topography of the Goldrinn Temple area is a section of undulating mountains to the west. There is only one mountain road leading here from Esenna Woodland. After passing through the canyon previously defended by the coalition forces, there is a huge basin to the east.
The night elves have several settlements near the Goldrinn Temple, but now the civilians and clergy worshiping the wolf god have either been relocated or joined the army. In other words, there are almost no night elves in this area.
exists.
On the southeast side of the canyon mouth, there is a winding road that goes up the mountainside. It is the Wolf God Trail, which leads directly to Nordrassil, the world tree.
Now, the Wolf God Trail has been breached and occupied by the undead army led by Archimonde.
Prell led hundreds of soldiers and retreated to the back of the logistics camp. Beyond that was the most common virgin forest in the Mount Hyjal area.
At the edge of the forest, Prell ordered people to bury almost all the explosives, leaving only a not-so-wide passage into the forest.
A group of trolls protected the goblin soldiers and rushed over in panic. Prell had sent soldiers to maintain order. Under their guidance, the group of soldiers rushed into the forest in disorder.
Seven or eight hellfires rushed over behind them. Prell and Rexxar each led a group of soldiers to meet them separately. Kane Bloodhoof, who retreated, also joined with a group of tauren warriors.
The battle quickly eliminated these hellfires.
"You continue to retreat. I have ordered people to ambush explosives. Try to block the offensive of the undead army!" Prell said to Kane Bloodhoof. He noticed that Kane Bloodhoof was also injured.
There was a huge wound on his back that was still bleeding with black blood.
Obviously, it was an injury he suffered when he was attacked by the necromancers in the melee. Prell raised his hand and cast an "exorcism spell". The Minotaur chief's face turned pale, and he seemed to have no strength to speak. He quickly ordered the Minotaur to continue to retreat.
.
Orcs, trolls, and tauren warriors continued to retreat back. When Prell saw the Saurfang brothers protecting a group of injured trolls, they rushed over. Thrall's wolf cavalry followed, and Prell
I finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Have all the soldiers withdrawn?" Prell approached Sal and asked eagerly. Sal shook his head in pain: "There are still many soldiers separated and surrounded by the undead army rushing over. We can't save them.
Got it!"
"Retreat and hide in the forest. As long as we preserve our strength, we still have a chance to avenge them!" Prell did not continue to ask, because he knew that among the soldiers who were trapped on the distant battlefield and were still fighting,
There may also be people from Thresh Kingdom.
But this is not a sad moment, another large group of hellfires rushed over, and behind them, the ghouls and jumping imps were also approaching.
"I'll lead the charge again!" Grom Hellscream said breathlessly after rushing back. He wanted to fight for a chance for the soldiers who had not yet completely evacuated.
"Leave it to us!" Jaina came over with a group of mages. She had just teleported her men to the edge of the forest. Prell noticed that none of the twenty or so human cavalry who had just followed her appeared. Apparently,
All the cavalrymen were killed.
More than a dozen human mages jointly cast "Blizzard", a large-scale ice spell, which knocked over a large number of ghouls and slowed down the attack speed of hellfire and ghouls.
A group of imps were driven to rush over, braving the blizzard attack, releasing dozens of fireballs, and then were killed by the blizzard while screaming.
Pierto Thunderhorn and Bowen Wind Totem waved the soul lamp together and cast "Magic Devouring", while more than a dozen orc shamans around Thrall also inserted the foundation totem.
The imp's fireball spell was swallowed up and was guided off the track by the foundation totem. Rexxar shouted from behind: "We should evacuate!"
So this group of soldiers who voluntarily stayed behind, led by their leaders, hurried through the area where no explosives or landmines were planted.
Prell noticed that there were at least thirty or forty explosive barrels on the ground that had not been buried in time, so they fell half to the ground. Dozens of kobolds and goblin engineers were already busy connecting the fuses.
Time was running out, and the fuse was not long enough. At such a distance, the explosion was likely to affect the demolition crew. A short goblin engineer stood up and said, "Leave it to me!"
Prell glanced at him. He had always disliked goblins before. However, since the Battle of Mount Hyjal, the kobold musketeers and goblin engineers had cooperated well, and his views on this race gradually changed.
"I am responsible for such a heroic act!" Prell roughly pushed the goblin engineer out: "I think your family is not willing to lose you!"
The goblin engineer glanced at Prell with emotion, imitated the military salute of Thresh Kingdom, saluted Prell with a non-standard salute, and then retreated.
"Quickly leave, I can't die!" Prell yelled at Rexxa, Jaina, Thrall and others: "Even if I want to die, I have to drag Archimonde along with me. These cannon fodder undead are not worthy of being buried with me.
!”
Knowing that Prell possessed many strange life-saving skills bestowed by the Holy Light, Rexxar and the others did not say much, they just looked at him deeply and turned around to leave.
At this time, Prell was standing alone on the edge of the forest. Some of the trees here had been cut down due to the arrival of the coalition forces, and many explosive barrels were buried near the wood piles that had not been cleared.
More than thirty hellfires have already rushed over, and the ghouls, abominations, imps, necromancers, and the newly created skeleton warriors they made from the corpses on the battlefield are swarming in like ants.
Prell had already seen Azgaro's huge body appearing behind the undead army. He sighed. The abyss lord was a bit far away, but it was a pity that he couldn't be killed.
In the distance, Archimonde was alone, walking along the Wolf God Trail in the direction of Nordrassil. His tall body looked like a moving golden tree.
"Go to hell!" There were three hellfires that were rushing the fastest and were about to rush to the edge of the forest. Prell pressed the detonator hard and cursed crazily.
Since he planned to retreat to the rear, Prell had already made a plan, so the remaining soldiers of the Thresh Kingdom and the indigenous coalition carried the most supplies, including food and various explosives.
There are explosives and gunpowder from the Kingdom of Thresh, as well as gunpowder and mines from the goblins who followed Thrall to the continent of Kalimdor. Prell used an almost extravagant method to sell almost all of the inventory to soldiers.
They were buried.
"Boom~" For the first time in 10,000 years, there was such an earth-shattering explosion in the Mount Hyjal area. A huge mushroom cloud soared into the sky, and gray-white smoke rose into the sky.
This is an explosion area that is nearly a hundred meters long and twenty to thirty meters wide. Time is tight. Even the goblin engineers have no time to effectively lay out explosives and mines. Therefore, the main area of the explosion is mainly concentrated on the road used for evacuation.
Leave about three meters wide on both sides of the road.
The coalition forces that had retreated more than a hundred meters away from the forest felt that the ground seemed to be shaking. Rexxar, Jaina and Thrall at the rear of the team looked at each other, and they all saw the worry in each other's eyes.
They didn't know if Prell could escape from such an explosion, but they soon continued to retreat deep into the forest. To the east, there was an abandoned night elf settlement there, perhaps before the undead army's offensive was hindered.
Finally, the coalition forces could rest there for a while.
At the edge of the forest, the explosion of explosives triggered the continuous detonation of other explosives and landmines buried nearby. In this area, thick tree stumps were blown up in the air and disintegrated into pieces, along with countless pieces of soil, gravel, sawdust, and
The corpses of the undead fell to the ground one after another.
Prell stood up with difficulty while holding on to a fallen tree. The shock wave caused by the huge explosion just rushed him directly into the forest. If there was not a big tree blocking him, he might have continued to fly for a while.
time.
Prell felt as if all the bones in his body were broken. He had just cast a "Holy Blessing" on himself. The effect lasted for 5 seconds, but after 5 seconds, the damage he suffered during this period would continue to appear, so he hurriedly
I read several Holy Light spells and Flash of Holy Light for myself.
Behind him, the huge explosion had ended, and a huge pit appeared at the edge of the forest. A large group of undead had retreated to the back of the pit, watching in horror from a distance.
Azgalo stepped out of the crowd and let out a thunderous roar in anger, and then he saw Preel. At this time, almost all the trees around Preel became bare under the shock wave of the explosion, with leaves and branches
After being blown away, the tree trunk tilted and became extremely twisted.
The Lord of the Abyss roared: "Damn, small, humble reptile, I will catch you, torture your soul, and let your soul suffer in fear for ten thousand years!"
Naturally, he spoke in devilish language. Prell slowly stood up, gave him a difficult middle finger gesture, and then turned around and walked deeper into the forest.
Behind him, although Azgarro was furious, he did not dare to order the undead army to pursue him. Who knows what the situation is like deep in the forest? And will these damn creatures plant explosives again?
More importantly, this big explosion caused too much damage to Azgalo's undead army. Even if he never takes his soldiers seriously, especially these undead who are regarded as the best cannon fodder and renewable,
But Azgallo also felt physical pain.
After all, Archimonde arrived in a hurry this time, and they had no time to summon the Burning Legion army from the more distant universe to the world of Azeroth. According to the current situation, the supply level of the undead army is far less than that of them being killed by the coalition forces.
