37. The Return of the King (II)
"Follow me, scatter the bugs! Open the way for the legions behind! ”
In the endless sea of ruins, a black army was advancing frantically, and they faintly formed a charging arrow formation, but it was not a cavalry with a strong penetrating impact, but a special infantry.
by Varian. The blood-toothed werewolves led by Ureon, these special creatures are far superior in strength and speed to humans, they are wearing full-body armor produced in the forging factory in the black iron area, and their defense is extremely strong, in the case of running with all their strength, the speed of these werewolves is not inferior to that of war horses, and more importantly, these werewolves are armed with hot weapons, although the impact is not as strong as that of cavalry, but the lethality is not inferior to that of cavalry.
Varian himself held a sword in one hand and a gun in the other, and the inconspicuous long sword of the ash fluttering was indescribably lethal on such occasions, even the strongest insect carapace could be easily split in two under the blade, and the black shotgun that the gladiator held in the other hand was a good thing that Andu had carefully selected because of his father.
The little prince took it straight from Tyrion's private collection... It's not at all the same level as those assembly line products, every time you pull the trigger, the bugs that block Varian's eyes will be blasted open a terrible gap, this thing's special bullet is terrifyingly lethal, between the worm's limbs and blood scattered, Varian's charge is almost unstoppable.
The orc blood fist that followed closely behind him was also a figure licking blood from the knife edge, this guy had a blood-red headband wrapped around his forehead, held a black heavy machine gun, and carried a heavy bullet box on his back, constantly roaring between runs, any bug that tried to attack Varian would be torn open by him with bullets, and on the other side was the cold and powerful werewolf Lord Darius, this guy was a powerful warrior before he became a werewolf, and even more out of control after becoming a werewolf.
Instead of using the guns he was carrying behind his back, he held two swords to protect Varian closely, and between the flying knives, the insects couldn't get close at all.
Werewolves are not afraid of these ugly and evil bugs, after they were infected by the werewolf plague, they have broken away from the sequence of mortals and truly become fantasy creatures, and compared to elves and dwarves, werewolves have a very ugly appearance, except for some more shadow affinity, strength and speed are strengthened, there is no other ability, the only thing worthy of praise is their self-healing power.
A werewolf can continue to live if he is stabbed through the heart, as long as the injury is not fatal, it can heal quickly after a short period of recuperation, unless the head is cut off, it is difficult for the werewolf to be completely killed, and the insects that pull insects with bites and toxins, most of them are physically attacking creatures, and their threat to werewolves is extremely low...
Most of the members of the Bloodfang Legion were soldiers and knights who had been loyal to Gilneis, and their discipline was also commendable, and under the leadership of the brave Varian, the Bloodfang Legion, which was the vanguard of the reinforcements, stabbed into the back of the swarm like a sharp knife.
"Varian opened the way for us to charge! Paladins... Charge with me! ”
Arthas, who was waiting in the rear of the Blood Fang Army, saw the chaos caused by the attack of the insect tide from the rear, the knight king pulled his face helmet down, the holy sword in his hand appeared with a golden light, and the moment he began to charge, the battle flags belonging to Lordaeron and the Church of Light fluttered, and thousands of heavy knights followed Arthas, under the cover of the artillery bombardment of the Blood Fang Legion, and smashed into the line of the Wormmen from the other side.
The size of the insects is very large, but no matter how big they are, they are also insects, facing the knights on the horses, these insects have no other way to hurt the high-speed rushing paladins except jumping attacks, and the intelligence of these insects used to fight the number war is very low, after the knight roars and tramples on the top of their heads, they will only subconsciously follow the knight to rush forward.
"Aha, stupid guys! Savor this gift! ”
After seeing the insects gathering more and more behind him, Arthas, who was galloping on his horse, laughed, took out something from his horse pocket, and threw it far behind him, and the other knights did the same, and for a while, the dense black balls were thrown into the surging sea of insects behind him.
A running bug stepped on the ball that smashed into the sand, and the next moment, these thrown mines were triggered, and between the sand and rocks flying, hundreds of bugs were blown out by explosions and air waves, accompanied by the paladins constantly throwing untriggered mines in the swarm, and those bugs behind them also continued to trigger these vicious and weird things, and a collective explosion for a while tossed the entire swarm into pieces.
However, the charge of the two legions also attracted a lot of bugmen besieging the big platform to turn their heads against them, and the sudden appearance of a powerful army made the command of the bugmen a little problematic, which directly led to a lot less pressure on the front line of the big platform, but the bugs that turned their heads to attack also slowed down the progress of the Blood Fang Legion and the paladins a little.
Varian, who had slashed a worm officer with a sword, looked back at Arthas, who was galloping and raining mines to interfere with the swarm, and he shouted:
"Alsace... Front! Let's have a sword! ”
Arthas listened to Varian's shout, he looked up, and saw the arrival of reinforcements in the front line of the big platform, and it seemed that he had also started a counterattack, and the sea of insects between the two sides was dense, making people dizzy at a glance, but he understood Varian's meaning, and the next moment, the knight king raised the holy sword in his hand, and the charge of the Brilliant Star Fragment engraved in the pale body of the righteous sword was not yet completed, but with the help of the holy light power of Arthas's body, it should not be a big problem to fire a "light cannon".
"Justice!"
In Arthas's roar, the brilliant golden holy light converged into a devastating energy, like a stabbing war spear, starting from the place where Arthas was, this light spear that pierced through hundreds of yards of earth burned everything, and the light cannon full of extreme holy light energy burned everything in its path.
Even the scorching earth seemed to be roasted dry, the charred insect corpse emitted a disgusting smell of roasting meat, and the swarm of insects blocking in front of the Blood Fang Legion was opened, and before the light dissipated, the power accumulated under Varian's feet had exploded, making the gladiator's body fly out like a cannonball, and the fire of anger wrapped around his body, and the moment it landed, it was like a meteor falling to the ground, and the power contained in the top warrior crushed the quicksand earth, and lifted the panicked insects around him, Chop.
Varian could already clearly see the situation on the large platform position, and the ground army also said that the extremely large number of winged insects in the sky were the real enemy of this position lacking anti-aircraft fire, and the gladiator raised his head, and above the sky, he could faintly see a huge winged insect flying back and forth, like a giant bee.
That should be the commander of the wingworm in this ruined battlefield, if you don't kill it, the army on the front line will not be able to retreat under the interference of the wingworm, and you won't even be able to rest.
"Good... air combat ...
Varian looked left and right, and he noticed the orc who led a group of minotaurs and orcs and humans to rush out of the platform, the orc looked gray-haired, but from his indifferent face to slash insects, he was also a top-notch warrior.
"Hey, white-haired orcs!"
Varian shouted, which made Blox, who was fighting back with excited soldiers, raise his head, and the Orc Overseer saw the human surrounded by the swarm, and he saw the human's finger pointing to the sky, and Blox, too, looked up and saw the winged insect lord swimming high in the sky, and he immediately understood what Varian wanted to do.
"Give me a hand!"
Varian shouted, then crouched slightly, his whole body's strength gathered on his legs, and after a second of accumulation, the whole person was like a sharp arrow into the sky.
Blox's gaze followed Varian's trajectory into the air, and with his knowledge of high-level combat skills, Varian's heroic jump could not touch the winged insect lord in the sky at all, and the wild strength of this human warrior also made Blox's head shake his head.
"What recklessness..."
Having said that, seeing that Varian was slowing down in the air, the old orc also crouched slightly, and in the next second, between the shattering and flying of the hard rammed earth under his feet, he also flew into the sky like a whistling rocket.
"Unknown humans... You're a good fighter..."
Blox jumped into the air, and the moment he approached Varian, the tomahawk in his hand flapped horizontally upward, apparently understanding Varian's meaning, and the latter lowered his head and smiled at the old orc, a hint of stubbornness flashing across his scarred face.
"Thanks!"
Varian's feet stepped on the back of the tomahawk that Blox's smashed on, and after having the support, Varian took a deep breath, raised his head, and stared at the fast-flying Wingworm Lord with his eyes, his legs curled slightly, and at the moment when Brox's fall was about to fall, another heroic leap was made, Varian's body roared into the air again, and the orc overseers, who were greatly thrusted, smashed into the sea of insects on the ground at a faster speed.
The old orc's white hair reverberated in the wind, his eyes were fixed on the tall insect officer hidden in the sea of insects on the ground, and at the moment when he was close to the ground, a mighty charge made him change his direction in the air, with the kinetic energy of the fall and the huge strength of his whole body, the whistling battle axe easily cut the unsuspecting insect officer in half.
"Boom"
Brooks fell to the ground, and the remaining force he carried swept up the sand around him, shaking the insects that tried to attack him out, and the old orc staggered to his feet, thumping his waist and shaking his head:
"Alas... Sure enough, it's old. ”
As he spoke, he raised his head and looked at the sky, and in the golden sunset that was about to set at dusk, Varian, who was roaring into the sky, drew his gray sword from behind his back, spun it around in the air, and then with the force of his fall, he accurately smashed it on the back of the xenomorph insect with a body length of more than 5 meters, a dark green insect armor all over its body, and four wings like steel blades.
The fire of rage wrapped around the gray sword, and in Varian's roar, the sharp blade slammed downward, and the precise and cruel Zigan sank into the triangular head of the xenomorph, Varian's wrist flipped outward, and the blade turned the leader of the winged worm into a pot of porridge.
"Whew!"
The leader of the winged worm let out a thunderous howl from above, a bug of its size has lived for nearly a thousand years, it is wise enough to distinguish the form at this time, death is inevitable, this flesh creature like the most terrible assassin, gave it a fatal blow from behind, it is going to die...
But insects are also unwilling, and vicious creatures like Qila worms will drag humans to die even if they die.
In the final madness of the leader of the winged insects, Varian was thrown from behind it with a sword and slipped from a height of nearly 100 meters, even for the first time in his life.
Varian, who was free-falling in the air, looked at the sea of insects rolling on the ground, the hunting wind blew his face full of battle marks, there was no trace of fear in his blue eyes, he held the war sword in his hand with both hands, and he didn't know if it was Varian's illusion, he always felt that the war sword in his hand was neighing strangely, as if calling for something.
"Are you also longing for a glorious battle to the death?"
Varian's gaze grew brighter and brighter, and as the entire battlefield watched, the human warrior who had slain the Wingworm Lord with a single sword fell to the ground like a meteor, and at the moment of maximum acceleration, the furious fire that swirled around Varian grew more and more furious, and he used his last strength to launch a final decisive charge in the air.
"But... Today's battle, you and I... Win! ”
"Bang"
Like the lightning of the red flames that streaked across the sky in the sunset, Varian turned around in the air and smashed into the tallest and rare Anubis Giants in the swarm, those obsidian giants should not have evolved from the Worms, but I just don't know why these guys mixed up with the Worms.
"Bang"
Varian slammed into the head of the Anubisas giant in a half-kneeling position, and the sword in his hand stabbed into the giant's head, and the strongest obsidian exploded at this moment, and in the explosion like being hit by artillery, the Anubisas giant, who had lost most of his head, let out a low roar, and then fell towards the large platform in front of him.
It's like a mythical battle that shatters the sky... In the dust, both the wormmen and the coalition soldiers stopped fighting at this moment, and the entire battlefield was silent. Wimbane looked at the tall human who came out of the flying dust with a sword entwined with a faint lightning bolt, and he always felt that this man was somewhat familiar.
Varian flapped the dust around him, and as he stepped up the stairs, the soldiers around him, whether humans, minotaurs, orcs, or elves, all looked at the mighty hero who had broken through into the sea of insects with a look of awe. Wimbane's eyes widened at this moment.
Varian tilted his head and looked at the soldiers in front of him, among whom he accidentally spotted an acquaintance, who was holding a sword in one hand and waving at the guy with the other:
"Hi Halver... Long time no see. ”
The General of the Seventh Legion stepped forward, he took a deep breath, and then bowed to Varian sincerely:
"Long time no see... Welcome back and thank you for saving us..."
"Your Majesty..."
