Chapter 1693 Violent Soldiers

There were not a single Union soldier in the first three trenches of the infantry position.

Stationed there were the mechanical gnomes and mechanical dwarves under Mimiron. They either used electric shocks or manipulated the new flamethrowers provided by the alliance to destroy the Scourge soldiers extremely efficiently.

In Duke's expectation before coming to Icecrown Glacier, this was already an almost invincible formation.

Unfortunately, there are too many natural disaster soldiers.

The seemingly impregnable front line of defense will always be breached within a few minutes.

Because underneath the Icecrown Glacier plateau, it was almost completely hollowed out by the spider demons belonging to the Scourge.

What rushes over from the plateau is just bait.

Soon, the real attack began.

Close to the first line of defense, hundreds of huge holes that could accommodate tanks suddenly collapsed.

Intermediate-level natural disaster soldiers, as dense as marching ants, rushed out from inside.

At the same time, dark clouds flew rapidly across the sky.

It looks like a dense swarm of locusts, but it is actually a gargoyle group that is more exaggerated than a locust swarm.

Any impact will never be less than ten thousand.

Tens of thousands? Hundreds of thousands?

Alliance soldiers seem to have an illusion: The Scourge has pulled out all the corpses and skeletons of Azeroth that have died for tens of thousands of years to become soldiers.

It's no wonder, after all, in their eyes, the sight seems to be full of skeleton soldiers with tattered armor and no rotten flesh.

The tide of corpses was simply connected from heaven to earth.

No matter how many times they have faced this massive sea of ​​corpses offensive, they still feel numb every time they see it.

"boom--"

The heavy artillery in the artillery position further behind the alliance position began to roar. Once the [Type III shell], which is the model of the alliance's shotgun, hits, a small area of ​​​​airspace suddenly clears.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

When the most threatening group of gargoyles attacked, all 40mm Bofors guns had to switch to firing into the sky.

On the plateau to the east, the same is true for the eight-unit Bang Bang gun and Dongfeng anti-aircraft gun that have been prepared for a long time.

Countless gargoyles were hit by artillery, and suddenly fell apart into broken stones and fell from the sky.

However, this is meaningless. As long as the Lich King's magic power has not been exhausted, mid-level airmen like Gargoyles can really get what they want.

Initially, the Alliance will still send gryphon and hippogryph units to intercept.

The casualties were too great.

The cruel exchange ratio chilled the hearts of every alliance general.

The most disgusting thing is that if the griffins that died in Icecrown Glacier are not treated with holy water in time, they will immediately turn into skeletal griffins, which in turn will massacre the coalition soldiers.

The dragons in Wyrmrest Temple can suppress the gargoyles, but the claws of the gargoyles have difficulty penetrating the scales and skin of the adult dragons. The dragon has the advantage of crushing levels.

However, there were too many gargoyles and the dragon could not kill them all.

Therefore, the alliance's conventional air force only persisted for three days before retreating.

Instead, they were Qiraji who Duke specially brought from Ahn'Qiraj.

Although the Twin Emperors temporarily knelt, Duke's dominance over the worms did not fundamentally change.

Duke rarely uses these bugs, especially when the troops are playing in the sea of ​​bugs.

The biggest reason is that the sea of ​​​​insects is not violent at will.

The queen is ready, and the cost of the queen ovulating a large number of eggs and giving birth to small insects is a large amount of meat. This means that in a single attack, the entire area is often barren of vegetation, all animals are killed, and all corpses are devoured.

In the Eastern Kingdom Continent or Kalimdor, Duke would not dare to play in the Insect Sea. That would be tantamount to suicide.

In Northrend, Duke didn't have so many worries.

When surrounding the Scourge in Icecrown Glacier, Duke directly let two Qiraji queens build nests in Howling Fjord and Grizzly Hills. After being strictly prohibited from attacking those with the emblems of the Alliance and the Horde, the bugmen ate happily.

At the expense of the remaining vrykul in the area and the extinction of all wildlife in the Grizzly Hills, Duke finally obtained an army of flying insects totaling one million.

In the sky, the gargoyles that had passed through the dense wall of anti-aircraft artillery shells and the interceptions of the Dragon Legion began to dive towards the Alliance position. However, they were intercepted by Qiraji flying insects as dense as a swarm of locusts.

Often a lightning-like flight trajectory of the two air forces in the sky intersects, and the winner is determined.

The broken limbs of the loser fell to the front of the position like dumplings.

This kind of battle damage measured in units of "hundreds" per minute looks very spectacular!

But for the alliance soldiers on the mountain wall defense line, this is a huge pressure. Because the Qiraji forces, which were the last line of air defense, were breached, they had to face a double attack from heaven and earth.

Sometimes, when you are shooting and firing, you are suddenly jumped by a gargoyle that falls from the sky and cuts off your head. This is considered a blessing.

The worst time was when a recruit was hooked by the gargoyle's sharp claws and was directly lifted into the air with a hoarse scream. A group of gargoyles swarmed up and tore off his hands and feet alive.

This is not the end yet. The gargoyle was probably commanded by a certain lich to spread fear in the Alliance position. It grabbed the wailing man with a stick and dangled it in the sky. It was unable to hit any anti-aircraft artillery. .

Until an elf ranger shot the unfortunate ghost to death.

Even so, the Scourge transformed the wretch into an undead and dropped him like a worm back into Alliance territory.

But now, with the army of flying insects and the sea of ​​​​hard stone statues and ghosts, the alliance infantry is much safer.

They each performed their duties, mechanically repeating actions such as loading mortar shells and aiming and shooting. They used artillery, flamethrowers, grenades, and all imaginable ways to stop the undead army's frenzy.

In the sky more than ten kilometers behind, the battleship began to fire.

A huge cannon of over 400 mm brings a devastating explosion.

The largest area of ​​natural disaster soldiers on the plateau in front of them was cleared away. The violent explosion even caused the burrows dug by the nerubians to collapse.

It seemed that the Alliance had captured the location of the frontline commander of the Scourge Legion and cleared the area with heavy artillery, directly destroying the lich.

The Scourge Legion's offensive immediately stalled.

The Lich King can indeed control any undead among the Scourge. But it is impossible for him to concentrate on ten million and conduct precise control and command of every soldier. He could only make a general order, such as ordering one hundred thousand undead to attack a certain area.

Which bunker and which artillery array to attack actually still requires on-the-spot command from undead commanders of different classes on the front line.

Without it, the natural disaster soldiers would be nothing more than a bunch of blind flies, which would be much easier to deal with.

Seeing that this attack had no effect, the lich behind stopped giving orders and allowed these low-level undead creatures to deliver food.

When the sound of artillery gradually subsided, the earth elemental creatures belonging to Alkavon began to appear. They were not cleaning the battlefield, but the land around the landline. It is with them that the coalition forces can avoid being dug directly into the rear by the nerubians.
