Chapter 293: Stratholme Father and Son
Battle of Stratholme's Eighth Army, the next day. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The weather was nice - but at times like these, good weather meant more fierce battles.
During the first day of fighting, the attacking Doomsday Guards suffered heavy losses, some of which were torn apart by the Black Dragon directly in the air, and some of which were killed along with Stratholme's human soldiers at the head of the city, in which case the use of air strikes on the second day was no longer feasible.
So this time, the main force in charge of the attack turned into an undead scourge.
A large number of gargoyles rose into the air and pounced on the city in dense form. These stone statues, infused with the souls of the dead, caused great trouble for the defending forces and even the black dragons.
When Onexia soars into the air with the dragon, the gargoyles will quickly surround and bite the black dragon's body. Although under the emphasis of Drunken Wind, the people who participated in the battle this time were all adult black dragons with strong scale armor, and it was difficult for gargoyles to tear through the scale armor of the black dragon. But in yesterday's battle with the Doomsday Messenger, many of the black dragons were wounded, and the wounds gave the gargoyles a chance to break through, especially those with wounded wings - soon five black dragons fell from the sky in agony.
After falling into the dense mass of natural disaster ghouls, even the black dragon could not guarantee his safety, and in this way, not long after the war began, the black dragon army began to reduce its personnel.
In this case, Onexia can only order the black dragon to turn into a human form and fall back to the city, the black dragon is very important in the defense of Stratholme, and the number is scarce, and the gargoyle is obviously indistinguishable, and those gargoyles will be handed over to the mages of the High Elves!
However, to the displeasure of Kael'thas and his mages, these gargoyles often fall to the ground decisively when they are injured by fireballs and ice arrows, and then fly back to life in a short time.
Although these damn gargoyles have negligible ground attacks, the High Elves have decided to be extremely upset.
In this case, Kael'thas simply waved his hand and called the elite of his subordinates, the Spellbreaker.
These are the precious troops that the Sun King Anastarian Sunchaser gave to Kael'thas before leaving, these spellbreakers who are proficient in melee combat, long-range attacks, but have extremely high resistance to arcane magic, are the ultimate hope that the Sun King has just created, trying to suppress the Silvermoon Council, these families who participated in the training of spellbreakers (Flame Blade, Eclipse, etc.) are all the royal party among the High Elves, and this battle is also a combat training for spellbreakers.
The Spellbreaker who came to the city wall began to throw his flying blade at the gargoyle.
These long, throwing blades are extraordinarily effective against gargoyles—spell-breaking effects don't just work on arcane!
The gargoyles were torn apart in the air, and Arthas quickly summoned the remaining gargoyles back. Just kidding, these gargoyles are still very precious, although they don't lose by calling the dragon, but they can die if they are blown up by the lawbreakers in vain!
The gargoyle's retreat announces the end of the next day's temptation, and now comes the real highlight.
As Arthas raised the Frost Sorrow in his hand, a large number of undead swarmed up - too difficult for these undead manipulated by the Lich King to do, but it was still possible to siege the city - and the number of piles was enough!
There is no need for a ladder, and a few specially crafted Abominations make the best siege weapons.
Swinging their heavy weapons, the big guys continued to attack the city walls, and then were quickly reduced to ashes by the firestorm summoned by Kael'thas.
But the number of abominations was too great for Kael'thas to take care of for a while, and Rothman and the High Elf mages had to maintain the barrier of the walls to prevent the bombardment of the meat grinder.
Seeing that the city wall seemed to be unsupportable, Thrall, who picked up the hammer of destruction, together with Drektar and Logosh, began to call on the power of the earth spirit, constantly strengthening the city wall.
Just when the battle was at a stalemate, in the midst of the undead scourge, a group of knights on skeletal horses came to the front.
"Stand up, my son." The Death Knight at the head is the former lord of Stratholme, Baron Rivendell the Elder, "Give up your senseless resistance and join the Scourge Legion!" ”
Old Rivendell's empty prophecy was unconvincing, but his presence itself had caused a huge uproar, after all, it was always strange for our lord's father to become an enemy.
Seeing that he had become an undead father, Oryx Rivendell stepped forward.
"My father, you are on the wrong path." Little Rivendell's tone was even colder than his father's, "Your choice has brought a heavy disaster to Stratholme, and the undead scourge should not exist. ”
The meeting between father and son was really awkward.
In this case, language is useless, and only a fight can really solve the problem.
For Arthas, who controls Old Rivendell, if the father kills his son, it will be a huge blow to Stratholme; For little Rivendell, ending his father's sins with his own hands and letting him rest in peace is what a son of man should do.
With the help of Featherfall, Little Rivendell jumped off the wall. And the undead scourge also left a place to give the father and son a place to duel.
The father and son, who have eight points of resemblance in appearance, are silent.
Old Rivendell rode a skeletal warhorse, and little Rivendell rode a Holy Light military horse, and at the same moment began to charge.
The two long swords collided together, the sharp blades sparked, and the war horses staggered, and the father and son did not win or lose in the first confrontation.
Without saying a word, the two men brought their horses back and fought again.
The father who once patiently taught his son has become an enemy, and the son who once admired his father needs to defeat his father in order to defend his homeland.
Charge, stagger, and back......
Gradually, my father gained an advantage on the scene.
The shameful depravity gave the old Rivendell extraordinary strength, and after becoming an undead, there was no longer the trouble of aging, and the rich combat experience made little Rivendell gradually fall behind.
In this case, the undead natural disaster is naturally happy to see it, but the soldiers defending the city can only be anxious.
But, is Little Rivendell lost?
At another moment when the horses were staggered, Little Rivendell took the risk of changing the way of attacking - since he couldn't win, he simply fought for a wave!
Looking back at the moon, a sword is headed.
Old Rivendell's headless body fell to the ground, splattering dust, and the skeletal warhorse that had lost its owner vanished.
Little Rivendell closed his eyes, didn't look back, and rushed straight to the wall.
"Dad, is our swordsmanship invincible?"
"yes!"
"Then Dad, now that I've learned, so will you, which of us is great?"
"Of course it's our Oryx - you'll charge and turn back, Daddy won't be able to dodge!" (To be continued.) )
