40. The bloody battle of Beaulie's spine
The continent of Pandaria is a magical place, and the most thriving civilization in this place, that is, the chubby, cute and cute panda people are different from other civilizations in Azeroth in many ways, but it is not surprising that the civilization of the panda people survived as a single independent for nearly 10,000 years.
The civilization of the panda people is very special, not only because of their unique and loose civilization system on the outside, but also because there are many things on this continent that outsiders cannot understand, such as the Valley of the Four Winds in the center of Pandaria, the super large farms covering tens of thousands of acres in this flat plain area, the square 10,000 acres of fertile land side by side, and the unimaginably fertile soil here.
It is said that the Valley of the Four Winds has been blessed by the ancient gods, and the flowing water here has a magical power, which can make the grain in the irrigated fertile fields reach a terrifying level of one ripening per day, so the continent of Pandaria is probably the only land in Azeroth that is absolutely impossible to have a famine, and the climate here is suitable for the growth of most plants in the world, so the panda people have completely got rid of the most terrible famine for a civilization thousands of years ago.
Even since then, they have had a tradition of winemaking, because there is too much food to eat... This is a fact that is enough to bring tears to the eyes of any other civilization in Azeroth.
In thousands of years of development, the wine culture of the panda people civilization has reached an unimaginable level, as far as is known, there are as many as 175 kinds of fine wine made by the panda people, this is only the number preserved at present, more importantly, the wine made by the panda people is not just a simple drink... Many of these wines have very special effects.
Wine, this kind of thing, for panda people, is not so much a pleasure as some kind of special "alchemical product".
Of course, the magic and difference of the panda people and Pandalia are not in these two aspects, even the mode of war in this land is different.
Every hundred years, the terrifying mantis demons on the other side of the Great Wall of Panlong's Spine will launch an attack on Panlong's Back, and every hundred years, a shocking bloody battle will break out on the ancient city wall of Panlong's Back.
At this time, the news of the arrival of the Mantis Demon Vanguard has been sent to the leaders of various panda cities through the transmission of the Shadow Sect, and the great retreat of the people that envelops the entire Pandaria continent once every hundred years is about to begin.
"Wow"
A mantis demon sergeant descending from the sky let out a sharp hiss, like a terrifying big bug, it brandished the amber war knife in its hand, and smashed into the wall of the dragon's spine in a sudden manner.
"Ahh
A pandaren warrior monk who was in charge of transporting ammunition was caught off guard, and the armor was cut by the fierce mantis demon with a knife, and then the flesh was seized by the sharp hind limbs, and the whole person was carried into the air in a scream.
This scene made the eyes of Major General Taylor, who was wielding a knife to kill the mantis demon pawn, widened his eyes, this brave, human warrior who had completely killed his blood roared, and stood up from the ground with a heavy amber war spear, after a roar, the sharp war spear was thrown into the sky by Taylor, piercing the mantis demon's limbs, and the badly injured monster staggered and fell, and the warrior monk who was caught by it also endured the pain in the air and hit a fierce angry thunderbolt.
In the midst of the explosion of true qi, the small half of the body of the badly injured mantis demon non-commissioned officer was torn apart, and the injured warrior monk also fell to the city wall, and was soon dragged into the city tower by the mist walkers in charge of healing.
But saving one person can not alleviate the beacon smoke that is lit everywhere on the entire dragon spine, the panda people have summed up a set of extremely efficient communication methods in the fight with the mantis demon for tens of thousands of years, after the attack on this section of the city wall where Tamred, Taylor and Valentine were stationed, the tall beacon tower immediately lit the flames, and the wolf smoke placed in it was ignited, and the pillar of smoke that went straight into the sky was visible to the residents of the entire Valley of the Four Winds.
Forty minutes after the battle began, the Guardian Warrior Monks from the White Tiger Temple and the Shadow Trace Sect's supporters had already reached this section of the city wall.
However, in the face of the overwhelming military strength of the mantis demon, no amount of warrior monks and backup seems to be enough...
"Good fellow, that's an exaggeration..."
Tannred touched the blood and sweat on his face, he was holding a strange firearm made by the panda people, this thing looked very similar to the old musket from the outside world, but it was much more powerful than the old musket, like the large-caliber shotgun developed by the Federation, slow to reload, but powerful.
"Bang"
Standing beside Thanred, Valentine's face was gloomy, the bloodline of the blood clan gave him a very powerful dynamic vision, those mantis demon non-commissioned officers with a strong threat as long as they were close to the city wall, they would be accurately attacked by Valentine with this ancient firearm, but no matter how much he killed, the number of mantis demons covering the entire airspace in front of him seemed to increase at all.
Just like Thanred sighed, the sky in front of him is already difficult to see the sunset at dusk, the sound of the waves of flying mantis demons flapping their wings is like some kind of terrifying flying machine, listening to it for a long time, it will even make people's ears produce some kind of strange phantom sound, looking out from this section of the Great Wall, the city wall between each section of the city tower of the dragon's spine is illuminated by the raging fire as if it is day, and the ignited arrows keep piercing into the air, and hundreds of mantis demons are hit by arrows every second.
The strange cannon invented by the panda people in the closed time was placed on the city tower, this kind of gadget called "tiger squat cannon" by the panda people seems to be poor in tonnage and firepower, but after being equipped with the panda people's secret flowering bomb, every time it is fired, it will explode a terrifying blood light in the mantis demon group in the sky.
It was precisely because of the help of the thousands of tiger squatting cannons on the city wall that the mantis demon was not able to cross the sky of the dragon's spine, but looking back, those insects that had sporadically crossed the city wall had begun to burn and loot in the pandaren village behind the city wall.
"Hell, it reminds me of the battlefield of Silisus."
Major General Taylor rushed out of the city tower next to him with a small tiger squat cannon, and two panda man warrior monks carried a basket of flowering shells to follow behind the brave "prisoner".
These Outlanders are rude and brutal, but they play a bigger role on the battlefield than even the Panda recruits.
This is natural, whether it is the sailors of the Armada or the sailors of the Black Ark fleet, they are the best sergeants of the two camps of the Empire and the Federation, even if they are thrown into a strange land, the courage flowing in their veins has not been weakened, and killing people may be stressful for some kind soldiers, but killing this kind of bug in front of you is not a good thing at a glance... There is no pressure on anyone.
"These mantis demons attack in almost the same way as those Qila wormmen!"
Major General Taylor, while placing the heavy Tiger Squat gun on a special gun mount, said to Tanred and Valentine, who were guarding him:
"They're even smarter because they have an air force, but that's not a problem, seriously, if you have 2,000 steam guns on the walls, I can guarantee that not a single bug will ever think about it... The Battle of Quicksand has proven one thing! ”
Taylor raised his head and showed a cold smile to the two generals in front of him, the old navy who had participated in the battle of quicksand on behalf of the empire stood up gloomily, and stretched the torch in his hand to the gunpowder lead behind the tiger squat cannon, and between the crackling of the lead, Taylor's voice also became hoarse:
"No matter how fast the bugs multiply, they can't match the speed at which hot weapons slaughter them..."
"Boom"
The barrel of the tiger squat cannon that was fixed on the ground of the city wall was melted into the head of the dragon spewed out a scorching spark, and the heavy cannon roared into the sky in front of it, and a team of mantis demons who were about to rush over to slaughter the panda people were caught off guard, and collided head-on with this high-speed flying cannon, and the next moment, the dazzling flowering bombs like fireworks exploded in the air, reimbursing more than 30 fierce mantis demons at one time.
And Rear Admiral Taylor, who was holding a torch, snorted proudly, he was the best general in the entire armada.
"This shot is really accurate!"
A low exclamation came from behind them, and Thanred turned back to see an elderly pandaman in fine armor and an iron helmet standing behind them, with a bow in his hand and a silver halberd in his hand, and a look of satisfaction in his eyes.
This looks like a big shot.
"Well, you outlanders are rude, but they are excellent soldiers, and at least among the pandamen, there is a lack of brave and violent soldiers like you."
The old pandaman stroked his beard, took a wine gourd from his belt, and threw it to Taylor:
"For your sake, for the sake of helping us fight the mantis demon, I invite you to drink."
"Drinking?"
Taylor twisted the wine gourd, looked at the old pandaman general with some surprise, and he whispered:
"Drinking on the battlefield? You're not kidding, are you? ”
"Drink, this is no ordinary wine."
The old pandaman snorted, then turned around and walked towards another section of defense:
"You can call me Lao Yang, if you can survive this battle, then you will be free... Good luck to you. ”
Seeing Lao Yang leave, the three strangers glanced at each other, Taylor shrugged his shoulders, put the wine gourd to his mouth, and he whispered:
"The culture of these panda people is really weird... Hey, this wine..."
Before Taylor's words were finished, the liquor that had been drunk in his mouth flowed down his throat and into his stomach like a red-hot knife, the spicy feeling was terrible, but the next moment, as if a flame was ignited in Taylor's abdomen, his body, which was a little tired from the bloody battle, stretched out violently at this moment, he couldn't help but grit his teeth and take a breath, and then handed the wine gourd to Tanred with a hundred times the spirit:
"Drink! This wine is awesome... It's like those mage's potions..."
After saying that, Taylor, who felt that his whole body was useless, roared and reset the tiger squat cannon again, and a moment later, another accurate cannonball repelled the mantis demon that rushed over again.
"Sailors of the Armada! Kill all these bugs! ”
Also drank the wine, entered a state of bravery and rage, Tan Ruid roared and stood on the city wall, frantically waving the two heavy halberds in his hands, as if standing there in a posture of one to ten, hacking the re-coming mantis demon to death one after another, under his drive, the sailors of the invincible armada on this section of the city wall also launched a ruthless, they even launched a small counterattack, and the mantis demon death squad that had rushed to the city wall was beaten back.
On the other side, Valentine, the blood general who had also drunk and entered a state of rage, was incarnated as the prototype of the blood clan under the surprised gaze of those panda warrior monks, he flapped his wide blood wings, and rushed around the air in the posture of a bloodthirsty bat, like the most ferocious predator, hunting the mantis demon non-commissioned officers who commanded in the center one after another.
The wine that the panda man named Lao Yang gave them was amazing, whether it was tired or afraid, as long as they poured it down, even if they were cowards, they could rise up endless fighting spirit.
But despite the fierce fighting of the monks and guards guarding the Dragon's Spine, the scale of the bloody battle continued to grow larger with the passage of time and the gathering of mantis demons fearing the wasteland, and at nightfall, the scouts of the Shadow Sect reported a very bad news.
The ground troops of the praying mantis demon have also appeared on the battlefield in front of the dragon spine, that is to say, soon, the panda people will not only have to face the mantis demon that is frantically attacking in the sky, but on the ground, they will also start to face the mantis demon army that drives the siege insects.
But it's not without good news...
"Whew! Oh! ”
At the same time that the ground legion of the mantis demon entered the vision of the city wall guards, accompanied by a low dragon groan, in the sky behind the dragon's back, one after another giant beasts roaming in the sky like giant snakes also appeared on the battlefield of this bloody battle with brave panda people and sky knights.
In the cheers of the panda people, those terrifying dragons roared and rushed into the sky occupied by the mantis demon, they either spit flames, or spew lightning, or roll up the wind flying in the sky, just in just ten minutes, the formation of the mantis demon in the air was completely dispersed, and the airspace battlefield that was once occupied by the dragon spine returned to the hands of the panda people.
"That's the Knights of the Dragon!"
The warrior monk who had been fighting with the three of them on the city wall saw the surprised eyes of the three strangers, and he explained kindly:
"That's the most powerful aerial warrior of our panda people, and for thousands of years, we have been able to hold the dragon's spine and fight off the mantis demon, all thanks to this powerful air force... This is also our last legion. ”
"That is, there are no more troops in your rear?"
Tanred's eyes narrowed, and he and Taylor looked at each other, both seeing the worry in each other's eyes.
These panda people are still stuck in the old way of thinking, when their enemies were only mantis demons, and as long as they held the front line, they didn't need to worry about anything else.
But now, the fog of the sea has been opened, and there are some threats in their rear, however, these panda people don't seem to notice... All forces are gathered on the front battlefield, and in the event of an unforeseen encounter in the rear... These panda people, it is estimated that some of them have suffered.
