Chapter 609: Crisis in the Valley of the Hearth (2/36)
"Ladies and gentlemen! The Scourge Undead are attacking again! "At the tallest tower of the wall, the panicked soldier in charge of the lookout poked his head out.
"How many?" Dassault Khan, who was standing at the gate of the Valley of the Hearth, asked casually.
"A lot! Endless! ”
As if to confirm the words of the lookout soldier, the ground shook slightly, and in everyone's sight, a black line poured out of the forest, slowly walking towards the valley of the hearth.
※※※
"Why don't we just rush in?" Kurtaz wielded his sledgehammer, and the horn-headed undead horse under his crotch snorted uncomfortably.
"What the hell are we waiting for here?"
"The main purpose of our operation is to see how strong the human defense capability is." Braumus, exposed in a green veil and dusty eyes, watched unblinkingly as the fully armed Scourge undead rushed towards the well-guarded Fireplace Valley.
"As for the 'son' who turned me into this," Mograine the Elder, who had become the Grand Lich Kel'thugad, and the Death Knight Leader took her up, "it's just my personal business. ”
"You'd better not meddle in this matter, lest they find out about your existence. Just here looking at the intensity of human resistance to attack, I thought, you won't disobey my orders, right? ”
Old Mograini's words of warning made the dwarven death knight Kurtaz mumble in dissatisfaction, but he didn't dare to say anything more.
The swarming undead rushed into the city, and the motionless Four Horsemen could already be seen, and the abomination at the end of the line was killed, and the screams of the humans were clearly audible.
The dwarf flicked anxiously back and forth on the back of the undead horse, and old Mograini only glanced at him, and the latter snorted unwillingly.
Seeing that the undead soldiers they had led on this trip had been fighting the humans for some time, Old Mograine said to them again, "Braumus, look at the two of them, don't let them join this battle. ”
"Do not let your hatred interfere with Lord Kel'thugad's plans."
"As for me," said old Mograine, with a grim smile on his face, "I have orders from Lord Kel'thugad, and the killing of my son is the greatest task of my trip!" ”
As he spoke, old Mograine pulled up the hood from his head, and he rolled over and dismounted from the undead warhorse, the fallen ash bringer in his hand wrapped in thick black linen.
He looked at the open gate of the Fireplace Valley in the distance, and slowly moved forward step by step.
"Humph! Seeing him show off in front of me, I want to smash his head! The dwarven death knight Kurtaz scolded dissatisfiedly, "Do you really think I'm easy to mess with?" ”
"Oh? Is it? I'm also looking forward to your next duel with him. Looking at the distant back of old Mograini, Braumux said disapprerovingly, "I also wish that next time he would cut off your head and seal your mouth, and not just break your limbs like he did last time..."
"You're the same as all the dwarves I know, you're so verbose..."
"You !!" Kurtaz looked at the woman beside him angrily, but he only snorted coldly, "I don't care about a woman!" Especially the elves that make me feel so disgusting! ”
Braumus chuckled, and was about to say something to the dwarves, but the battle on the battlefield caught their attention.
"Duane! Don't save your energy! There are too many undead, and the soldiers below can't bear it! Don't regret it and let your wizards do their best! Ethanlien shouted as hard as he could at the end of the wall, and on the wall in front of him, the undead in armor had climbed up!
Ethan Lion raised one hand, and a dazzling golden light shone out of his hand, and the blazing light shone on the undead lying on the wall, and they fell to the ground with a miserable cry, or fell from the wall.
"Be patient, man! Experience has taught me that I need to conserve energy in case I need it! Looking at the steady stream of undead on the battlefield in the distance, Duane said to the wizards around him, "Protect me, it's not a trick, because I want to..."
As the words fell, Duane suddenly raised his hands!
A tingling sensation that creeped all the wizards around him appeared from Duane, and as he chanted loudly, a tyrannical energy exploded in the horde of the undead!
Countless bursts of blue energy exploded like lightning, constantly shining in the army of the undead!
A bolt from the blue!
Some of the disasters were blown to ashes, others were smashed to pieces by falling boulders, and some were shattered by heavy, sharp ice thorns.
But...
Whenever an undead spirit falls... The other two will fill its place.
"Wow!" Tyran, who was firmly blocked in the doorway, looked at the masterpiece of the Arcanist Duane in shock, shocked.
"Are we going to be unable to hold on?" Renault's face was gloomy, and he couldn't help but think so. The wizards who used it as the finale weapon actually used their precious magic power at this time, and Renault could not imagine that this would be the possibility of weakening the undead attack.
"Don't be pessimistic! Renault! Concentrate on the fight! This is just the beginning! Renault's words were heard by Tyran, and he couldn't help but reprimand loudly.
"I know my duties very well! Tyran! Don't you come to teach me a lesson! Renault was immediately dissatisfied, and he kicked the undead skeleton in front of him, turning his head and glaring at Tyran.
"You two don't say a word! Be attentive! Stay safe! Esenlien, who was on the wall, heard them, and he hurried to stop the untimely quarrel between the two.
Before Ethan Leon could say anything, the prosecutor in charge of treatment next to him issued a warning. "Attorney General, I see that the Great Crusaders are in trouble, he may need help..."
Esenlien hurriedly turned his head to see that the Great Crusader Dassault Khan had gone out with his soldiers to intercept the destruction of the city wall in order to stop the flesh abomination from destroying the wall.
At this moment, they are already besieged by the undead! The distance between him and the city wall was less than 100 meters, and it was already filled with dense spirits of the undead....
Esenlien hurriedly shouted below, "Renault, go outside and support the Great Crusade!" He needs your help! Get him back from there! ”
"Cheer up! All of you! As he spoke, Ethan Lion spread his hands, and a large small golden dot of light floated down and burrowed into everyone's body.
Renault didn't question, he waved his hand behind him, and a group of soldiers who served as rotational troops immediately followed him, rushing out towards the undead outside.
As the current Grand Crusader of the Hearthside Valley and the most respected person, Dassault Khan is naturally no longer the Dassault Khan of the past. The Dreadlord Banazal leaned over the old exorcist, allowing him to blend in with the paladin-led army in order to achieve his own ends. But also because he was leaning over an old human body, which severely limited his strength. At the same time, because his strength is incompatible with the paladin, even though he has great power, he does not dare to use it...
"We must kill it! Otherwise this monster will destroy our walls! If it's really what I say, we can't hold on any longer! ”
Standing in front of the great abomination in front of him, hundreds of crusader soldiers kept the abomination out of the undead around him. Dassault Khan, led by dozens of soldiers, was besieging this huge guy.
For this kind of desperate behavior, Banazal has his own plans.
Originally, he made a deal with Kel'thugad to kill old Mograine with their hands. Kill the leader of the Scourge Legion's greatest enemy, the Undead Slayer, the spiritual pillar and banner of the Crusaders, and Kel'thugad is certainly happy to do so. But the deal was limited to killing old Mograini, and leaving that deal aside, Banazar and the Scourge were also enemies.
Originally, he wanted to take advantage of that transaction to take the opportunity to eliminate the voices that opposed him within the Crusaders, and integrate the power of the human crusaders to attack the Scourge Legion that betrayed the Burning Legion, so as to ask for credit from the leader who was far away in the Twisted Void. But what I didn't expect was that things went wrong.
I don't know why, what I planned was revealed. It was discovered by Locke, that young human?! Fortunately, he was not in a hurry to devour the power of this old paladin at that time, otherwise he would have been beaten by all the paladins present at that time to the point that it would be possible to twist the void....
For the deviation that occurred at that time, the final result was not bad, although he failed to control this force, he succeeded in separating a part of the force, and this force is now firmly grasped by himself.
But the problem now is that this force is firmly restrained, and there are people inside and outside guarding it. It's very difficult to achieve your goals. Even though he tried his best to corrupt the minds of these people, there were always some people who were influenced by that human paladin boy. No matter how many people he killed, there was always a steady stream of people who would provide news to that side of the undead barrier.
The bewildered Banazar felt that his previous plan was wrong? He even wondered if he would try to reach out to Locke and merge the army here with that side. And then from all sides, corrupt this largest military force of the land of Lordaeron?
It's just that before he could implement the next stage of his plan, the Scourge Legion actually attacked the Hearthvale under his control again.
Now, Banazal couldn't figure out what Kel'thugad was thinking. The master behind him should know that he can't be killed, and he should be more afraid of the punishment from the distorted void...
Come to think of it, but Banazal knew that it would be impossible for a handful of humans here to defeat the Scourge invasion. Only by taking action on your own can you avoid the demise of this human force. If you want to make a move, you have to try your best to avoid being discovered by other humans...
After all, he still wants to rely on this power to defeat the Scourge Legion and alleviate the punishment from Lord Kilgardan of the Twisted Void...
"We... Oh... Exert oneself! The Great Crusader! ”
The wails and pantings of the human soldiers beside him woke Banazar from his stupor, and he looked around him, the shield and torso lines around him were getting smaller and smaller.
The humans around him are almost unable to resist the attack of the undead.
"Hold on, we can win! We're about to beat it! And our reinforcements will soon be able to..."
As Dassault Khan shouted in all directions, the abomination trapped in the middle suddenly went berserk, and the thick chains of small trees were wheeled from its arms.
Dassault Khan, who bore the brunt of the blow, was swept away like a kite with a broken string. He could clearly hear the cries of surprise and despair from all the human soldiers around him.
"Be careful! The Great Crusader! ”
"O Holy Light! The line of defense has been breached..."
"We're done...
The battlefield was completely chaotic, detached from the support of shields and defensive lines, and the soldiers fighting alone were far from being the opponents of a group of undead. Wails rang out one after another in Dassault Khan's ears.
"It's time, it's time for me to make a move..."
