Chapter 1325 Retreating to Advance

"Sun Tzu's Art of War", as a top work that reveals the laws of competition, presents a novel concept that has never been seen in the world of Azeroth. After the profound strategic concept was displayed, Varian quickly became obsessed with it.

At the same time, Varian was fascinated by the profound philosophical concepts contained in it such as "conquering people with virtue" and "unity of man and nature".

Before Duke crossed over, the influence of this famous work had gone far beyond the country, making many famous foreign strategists intoxicated by the profound and profound traditional Chinese strategic culture.

This masterpiece not only crosses national boundaries, but also transcends time and space. As British Air Marshal John Slesser said in the article "China's Military Proverbs": "The fascinating thing about Sun Tzu is how amazingly up-to-date his ideas are - by slightly changing some words and phrases, his maxims It’s like it was written yesterday.”

This masterpiece is no longer a war book in the simple sense, but has become a must-read for leaders in various fields of politics, economics, and diplomacy. Sun Tzu's ideas have been widely used not only in the modern military field but also in various fields such as politics, economics, diplomacy, and sports.

For such a divine book, which was explained in detail by Duke in Common Language, Varian almost instantly recognized it as the legendary 'Holy Scripture'.

Looking at this holy book, Varian's slight dejection caused by his wrong choice was instantly wiped away. His eyes contained a brighter light than before, as if they were burning with a raging flame.

At some point, Magni also came over, and even other kings came to watch. It wasn't until Duke slapped Varian and Magni on the shoulders that they woke up.

"Okay! C'Thun is not dead yet, let's retreat first."

If it were in the past, Duke said this, Varian would have asked why he didn't kill them all in one go. However, the concepts of 'retreating to advance' that he just saw strongly stimulated Varian's thoughts.

The top leaders of the alliance quickly reached a consensus to withdraw first.

Since they are a coalition, it must be difficult to challenge the ancient god C'Thun for such a big thing. Even if Duke, a demigod, is in charge, it's not safe.

After all, no one knows to what extent C'Thun's power has recovered, but from C'Thun's two shots, one flying away, and one blowing up a small part of Naxxramas, we know that the ancient evil god's power is still there. incomplete.

It is true that the Alliance can directly attack the lowest level of the Temple of Ahn'Qiraj without waiting for the Horde. Maybe we can take advantage of C'Thun before his strength has fully recovered.

But so what if you win?

Maybe we can get a batch of good equipment, but who can guarantee that the Alliance's strong group will not die?

It is precisely because the Alliance now has a strong lead in terms of quantity and quality of strong men, as well as national and military strength, that it has stabilized the Horde, so there is a coalition dominated by the Alliance. If the Alliance sacrifices too much, it will only be easier for the Horde.

Varian suddenly understood Duke's intention to withdraw first.

Duke smiled and turned back to Jaina: "Go out first and notify the advance troops of the coalition forces to evacuate immediately from the beetle wall to the temple of the temple. At the same time, prepare to use continuous artillery fire for 24 hours to cover the beetles. The road to the ruins of Ahn'Qiraj."

Almost as soon as the heroes of the Alliance returned to Naxxramas, the most terrifying insect wave in recorded history broke out in the Temple of Ahn'Qiraj.

"Damn it! Here we go again!"

On the floating fortress, all kinds of chaotic sounds drowned out everything.

There were orders, curses, and then the roar of artillery fire, the strongest sound in the fortress.

No one could figure out whether the sound of artillery alarmed the insect swarm or whether the insect swarm attracted the artillery fire. Almost as the shells rained down on the Temple of Ahn'Qiraj, bugs the size of small trucks rushed out from every corner of the temple with their claws and teeth.

They were like a black carpet, covering the entire ground, dyeing the yellow earth into a creepy, constantly stirring black.

They rushed out of the temple and formed huge wave-like curtain walls. They charged madly and quickly, even ignoring the wails of their companions, and stepped on the bottom of their slower companions. No one knows whether it will be trampled to death.

Originally, Varok Saurfang was unwilling to withdraw his troops, because withdrawing would mean that the Horde Heroes led by Thrall would have their retreat route cut off. However, Duke gave up his idea.

"Varok, I have no doubts about your loyalty to the warchief, but you are not someone who has never seen the insect tide. How long do you think your army can withstand this wave? Do you want to save the last elite of the tribe?" Kill them all? And as long as we kill all the bugs, we can still bring Thrall back. Don't worry, as long as C'Thun is not beaten back to the depths of the planet for a day, the interests of the Alliance and the Horde are the same."

Varok was silent for a few seconds and finally nodded.

The Horde withdrew, and the Alliance took advantage of the convenience of Naxxramas to frantically fire at every passage in the direction of the Temple of Ahn'Qiraj, and at every place that was not protected by C'Thun's divine power.

The bugs were charging regardless of sacrifice, and the Alliance artillery was covering fire regardless of the cost. The insect swarm that originally looked like a surging black tide was smashed to pieces by the alliance's superior artillery fire before it even had time to form an intertwined turbulence.

The whole world seemed to be filled with the light of the shell explosion.

As the Alliance's artillery king, Brann Bronzebeard commanded Naxxramas methodically:

"Ground attacks prioritize incendiary bombs, then high-explosive bombs!"

"Don't stop the three-type anti-air attack projectile!"

"Don't be afraid of running out of ammunition! Lord Duke Marcus is already a mage demigod! He will open a portal to replenish our ammunition!"

In the headquarters, after asking Khadgar to help take charge of the portal matter, Duke's focus fell on another place. He said to Varok and Magni: "Did you see it? C'Thun's divine protection The coverage has been reduced."

"Yeah." They both nodded at the same time.

Originally, C'Thun could cover the entire Temple of Ahn'Qiraj, but now it only covers the main hall of the temple, leaving other places alone, even if there are stray bullets passing by.

"Why is this?" Varok was confused.

"Because our Alliance Heroes broke the pillars of the Temple of Ahn'Qiraj first." Duke raised his palm, and two little human-like souls appeared on his palm.

Even though these two souls have been imprisoned by Duke, Varok can still really feel the powerful will from the two souls and the surging soul fluctuations.

"This is……"

"The souls of the twin emperors! The emperor of the Qiraji is also the leader of the swarm. Without their brothers, C'Thun could no longer control the Qiraji well, so he simply rushed out the low-level insects. Die."
