Chapter 1677 The Lich King Attacks (Second Update)
After working with the Alliance for a long time, little Saurfang has also developed the ability to coordinate infantry and artillery, mechanized armored divisions and skirmishers.
Seeing that the tank soldiers of the alliance were the first to rush forward with their tanks, the orcs did not lag behind and ran as fast as they could. They perfectly matched the rhythm of the attack and broke in from the east of the city.
In the south of the city, because Dalaran ejected a large amount of sand and gravel, when the tornado wall could not carry away more sand and gravel, most of the sand and gravel actually fell to the west and south. This formed a natural siege slope.
There is no need for a siege ladder or anything like that. The Forgotten can just rush up the slope and rush to the city wall.
"For eternal death!" Anastrian pointed his finger bones, and the Forsaken under his command immediately began to charge, with the momentum of throwing a whip to cut off the river.
The process of capturing the Scourge City seemed a bit boring.
As the Sun King had judged before, the undead inside were not the main force. Although there are a lot of them, most of them are low-level undead creatures such as skeletons and zombies.
Not to mention the Liches and Death Knights who are the core force of the Scourge, even the higher-level banshees and abominations are rarely seen.
Dranosh split a large skeleton warrior in half with an axe, and then stepped on it with his thick metal boots. The skull warrior's head "clicked" and decomposed into a pile of white debris on the spot: " Is it true that as my father said, the Scourge Legion is likely to abandon the Scourge City?"
However, the resistance in the Scourge City was still quite fierce.
There are no high-level undead units, but almost every taller building in the city has been transformed into a [Ghost Tower]. These defensive magic buildings in the style of the Cult of the Damned are quite annoying.
Standing above the Ghost Tower is a suspended soul crystal. As long as the lowest-level cursed sect member can control this soul crystal to attack the living within a range of two hundred meters. This kind of attack on the soul level cannot be defended by conventional means.
The power of resentful spirits can easily penetrate any armor in the world and directly hit your soul.
Many ghost towers are located in quite spicy locations, most of which are surrounded by multiple buildings. From a distance, let alone direct artillery fire, you can't even see it.
Now that the Alliance Paladins are not on the scene, the Horde can almost only rely on human lives to fill the gap. Use the charging soldiers to divert the firepower of the Ghost Tower. Relying on the slightly lower attack frequency of the Ghost Tower, you can immediately call on the Alliance's tanks to rush over, shoot at close range, and forcibly destroy the Ghost Tower.
Seeing his compatriots fall one by one, Delanoche felt the pain of cutting his flesh.
The only good thing is that this is not the end for the orc warriors. Because before the war started, Thrall had reached an agreement with Anastrian. If they were orcs who died on the battlefield, Thrall agreed to be resurrected by the Forsaken and let them continue to fight as warriors of the tribe, but the order of battle would be restored. Among the forgotten.
In war, soldiers are expendable.
If the same life can be consumed twice, then... at least the loss of the living can be reduced.
This is a kind of bitterness and helplessness.
Three hours later, when the coalition forces were fighting fiercely and were about to completely occupy the Scourge City, news of the appearance of Arthas and Malygos suddenly came from the western and northwest fronts.
In the command post of Naxxramas, Magni shouted: "Direct attack——"
"Woooooooooooo-" The strong wind was howling, and accompanied by the terrifying white beam of light across the sky, the flying fortress Naxxramas was violently shaking.
That was not a terrifying impact like the earth was shaking!
If it were a simple energy cannon attack, it might not be so scary.
What's really scary is that this is a rare dual-attribute elemental attack.
The deep evil shadow attribute and the biting ice attribute. Although these two unrelated energies do not conflict, they are perfectly blended together to form an unrivaled terrifying attack!
At this time, it was Jaina who was in charge of the magic defense of the fortress. As one of the three strongest magic powers in the alliance, Jaina's strength was not bad.
The moment the magic mirror captured Arthas' figure, Jaina turned on the fortress's magic shield to maximum power.
Naxxramas is no longer the fortress it was when it was under the control of the Scourge. After falling into the hands of the Alliance, it has been expanded, reinforced and strengthened many times.
The latest enhancement was after Duke was promoted to demigod, a new layer of magic protection circle was added to the surface of Naxxramas Fortress. Originally, Duke planned to strengthen it again after acquiring Malygos's Titan Rune Magic inheritance. Unfortunately, due to time constraints, he did not have time to do this.
Even so, Naxxramas's magical protection ability is still quite terrifying.
Even Naxxramas like this couldn't withstand this blow.
Using thousands of wronged souls as energy to ignite [Frostmourne's Fury], this accumulated attack easily pierced Naxxramas's shield.
Before Jaina could even invoke the elements of the magic network, the three-layer shield collapsed in front of her eyes.
There was a terrifying roar, and the east facade of the fortress, which was at a 45-degree angle with the ground, was penetrated through an area as large as three football fields. Enter from below and exit from above from the west.
If it hadn't been for Magni's control of the fortress to move to the side at the last moment, he might have hit the headquarters directly.
Contact was instantly lost in the five districts, where there were more than 1,000 alliance soldiers.
This is not all the battle damage.
As the terrifying soul power spread, at least 4,000 people fell silently in 32 large spaces around the penetration area. They were all hit directly by the soul impact, and the souls in their bodies were directly annihilated, and they died like this. They didn't even have a chance to become undead, they were already corpses.
This is not the end!
In further areas, countless soldiers received a mental shock equivalent to [Banshee Wail]. The degree of damage depends on the distance from the damaged area and the strength of their souls.
It is no exaggeration to say that with this blow, Naxxramas suffered at least 30,000 casualties.
One-third of the entire fortress' functions were paralyzed.
The damage caused by the dual attribute attacks of frost and shadow is not over yet. Centered around the breach in the fortress, extreme cold was spreading rapidly.
A huge ice pimple is forming.
It seemed to be alive, sucking in frost elements from all directions.
Getting bigger and heavier.
Within ten seconds, everyone in the fortress felt that the fortress was tilting due to the sudden extra weight.
Looking at the Lich King Arthas standing on the ruined dome of the dark cathedral in the middle of the magnified picture of the magic mirror, leaning on a sword and wearing a full set of heavy armor, everyone in the headquarters gasped.
