Invincible Chapter 544

Natural disasters invaded, Kel'Thuzad led troops to attack Andorhal at night, let's count it as the first night.

On the second night, Caer Darrow was in a hurry.

All the commanders, including Uther, looked at each other in blank dismay, thinking that this undead really did not take an unusual path. Everyone analyzed it early in the morning and thought that attacking Kaer Darrow was an act of death, but that's what the Scourge did.

Since you want to die, you should die. Seal the Danuo River estuary bridge road in the southeast of the Mourning Hills. Unless the undead swim across the Dalong Lake, they will be blocked in the narrow strip on the south bank of the lake. , rugged cliffs, retreating there is easy to be chased by the pursuers.

So the generals decided to send troops overnight after asking the messenger about the situation.

Jaina was careful, and specifically asked, how did Caer Darrow be in distress?

The messenger was obedient, and at the end he said in embarrassment that because of the succession of the title, the Barov family's sons and daughters were at odds, and one of them had joined the Eternal Life Sect.

The Church of Immortality, this was the first time they heard the name of this sect in Alsace.

This is the Curse Sect, they will not use that derogatory name themselves. According to members of the sect, they are there to point the way to those who long for immortality.

It's not pure deception, it does make people live forever, but most people find it difficult to accept the side effects of immortality.

When Alsace heard this, he despised the Barov family in his heart. Xin said: "That is, the father, who tolerates this kind of low-level things at both ends of the snake and mouse to join the kingdom. When I succeed to the throne, I must punish them!"

The army marched from the southeast entrance of Andorhal to Kaer Darrow.

They first need to pass through the Mourning Hills, then cross the estuary bridge of the Dano River, and then reach the south bank of Lake Darrow, where there is a long bridge of huge stones, which is the only road to Keer Darrow by land.

Alsace and the others are most worried about destroying the stone bridge while the undead attack Kaer Darrow. Once the undead take Kaer Darrow, it will be difficult to take it back.

Sad Hills, with many mounds and many trees. For unknown reasons, the trees in this area are not very vigorous, and they always wither and dreary before other areas every year, hence the name.

Later, there were other names here. Regret Ridge, Uther's Tomb, is located here.

Here, the army was harassed by a small group of undead.

Uther boosted his morale and said: "Our enemies are counting on this kind of trick to slow down our pace, gain time, capture Keironda, and then rely on the fortress to fight against us. The idea is good, but it underestimated our determination And courage, and strength. Leave one army to destroy, and the others will rush over with me."

Alsace on the side was a little unhappy, and said in his heart: "I represent the king now, not just your students, you should at least ask for my opinion, right?"

But expressing dissatisfaction at this time seems to be a bit too preoccupied, let's get down to business first, not to mention he agrees with Uther's opinion.

So the main force of the army, advancing aggressively, rushed across the Hills of Mourn in one go.

On the bridge at the mouth of the Dano River, there was abomination blocking the way. Uther hated this unseemly creature full of blasphemy characteristics very much. A dozen paladins who personally led the Silver Hand charged forward and directly broke through the other creatures with their spears. Block the array, kill the other side, and then both sides work together to strangle it.

This is the first time Uther has used a heavy lance in actual combat, and it feels good, especially since the Knights of the Silver Hand have also obtained a lot of heavy horses improved by Kane, and the high-speed collision is very powerful.

Kane has always believed that heavy cavalry is the peak combat power of the cold weapon era, an alternative chariot, and the ultimate embodiment of human power.

In Azeroth, there are some large-tonnage monsters and strange flowers.

The abomination of the Scourge can only be barely shortlisted for the big guy, which is more important than it. There are a bunch of casually counting people who rely on tonnage and giant strength, such as puppet colossi, mountain giants, sea giants, tyrannosaurs, etc., not to mention those special ones. version of the monster.

Kane has always considered how humans should deal with such a big guy.

Mechanical creations, such as huge chariots, this is indeed a way. But since it is an extraordinary world, he thinks heavy knights are fine.

When Uther and the others visited the sacred hall, they were fortunate enough to see the heavy cavalry training in the Kingdom of Falken. They saw their blood pumping and felt very touched, and they wanted it too.

Although it's not a star and a half in comparison, today can be regarded as a 'rampage' addiction. In Uther's words: "This is an addictive way of fighting. When I charge, I feel young and at least 10 years old."

The heavy cavalry marched forward bravely, tearing up the array. The unstoppable prestige greatly boosted morale, and they were beaten up immediately. The Lordaeron Kingdom Army laid the foundation for victory in this battle with just one charge.

After finishing the bridge, crossing a piece of woodland, you can see the flames of Kaer Darrow soaring into the sky from a distance, and the sky is red, obviously the situation is very critical.

Uther ordered a galloping march, and when he got near the long bridge on the south bank of Dalong Lake, he saw that the undead were launching a siege battle. The city gate had been opened, but the fighting on the city wall was still going on.

This time Alsace didn't let Uther steal the limelight, he chanted catchy slogans, took the lead and led the team, and started to attack.

Seeing that the princes were charging, Ron Nitro hurriedly led his army to follow.

On the long bridge, war horses galloped. Arthas swung his warhammer and smashed the undead on the bridge into the water. Cavalry supported him on both sides, followed by a large army. They poured into Caer Darrow like a powerful wave.

The interior of Caer Darrow is not flat, but a climbing process, with distinct layers due to artificial construction.

Alsace and his party rushed in, and saw a relatively high position, a demon over three meters tall, with bat wings, anti-jointed cow hoofs, and armored, standing there majestically, commanding the battle, then His calm demeanor is particularly eye-catching.

As if aware of the arrival of the people, the demon turned around and said condescendingly: "It turns out that His Royal Highness has arrived. I heard Kel'Thuzad tell you about your rudeness last night, and you came here uninvited again tonight. You are really reckless."

"You are Mal'Ganis, aren't you? You sophistry demon..."

Malganis, the nathrezim demon, interrupted Arthas with a passionate tone: "It's really great that so many people came to participate in this grand sacrifice, prince, do you like watching fireworks?"

"What?" Alsace felt that he couldn't keep up with the demon, what fireworks were he talking about at this time?

Uther was more experienced, and changed his color: "No, this is a trap, get out!"

But it's too late...

Big explosive bombs were buried in the lowermost area of ​​the castle, outside the castle and on the long bridge. When everyone arrived, they would detonate directly.

These black powder bombs from goblins are loaded with shock wave damage, fragment damage, and poison damage.

In the rumbling explosion, what rose up was not black smoke and flames, but poisonous green ones. A large number of soldiers were ignited in the fel flames, screaming and dying.

However, such bombs are much weaker against hero units. At the critical moment, Uther and others opened up their shields to protect many people.

More importantly, due to the exchanges with the Knights Templar, the Paladins of the Silver Hand are much more powerful than in the original historical line.

They have the ability of group healing and group detoxification. Except for those who were ignited or killed in the first time, and fell into the water, most of them benefited and did not die quickly.

Malganis crossed his arms, touched his chin, and said displeasedly: "The nasty smell reminds me of the Draenei garrison officer. No matter which world, there is always this kind of smell of chicken manure after being exposed to the sun." The Light Ones..."

Just as the humans were trying to save their comrades in arms and regain their strength, the undead combat forces had already launched an attack.

Those who fought in full swing before were all part of the same group. The human officers and soldiers were played by the Cursed Cultists, and the opponents were the undead. Their daily training, fighting with the Ebon Knights, has always been bloody and cruel, so the fights are very It was so realistic that even Uther and the others couldn't see through it in time.

However, the commanders of the undead are not brainless, and they also cherish their troops very much.

Cursed believers and undead are not afraid of fel flames, and they are prepared. Most of them are not at the main explosion point, and they will fall in time when the explosion occurs.

Of course, the shock wave and fragment damage from the explosion still apply to them. But they are undead. Even the Cursed Cultists who have not been completely transformed, their bodies are eroded by evil energy and their pain is greatly reduced, and they even lose their pain and touch.

As a result, the undead side had more survivors in the explosion and retreated quickly. The new round of battles is formed by a gang of necromancers and more professional necromancers.

Just use the corpses of human officers and soldiers who were killed in the bombing, a large number of bone warriors and bone mages were produced by the group summoning technique, and played a wave of bone seas, and at the height of Caer Daron, a meat grinder appeared, a row of thirty More than one, constantly projecting corpse bombs to the battle zone.

And this time, obsidian golems also appeared among the undead. The existence of this kind of semi-equipment can continuously replenish life energy or magic energy for the existence within the range.

These life energies are usually squeezed and stored from living things, and the magic energy is evil energy produced by sacrifices and other methods.

With this thing, squishy necromancers and necromancers can last longer and cast more spells.

The human side is under tremendous pressure, and the paladins are already very powerful. Group healing and group exorcism should be the exclusive skills of priests, but now they are used by paladins. Although the conditions are relatively harsh and the effect is not good, that It is also a group effect, and it is of great help to deal with the current situation of the target.

And they also learned the Light of Brilliance from the Knights Templar, which is an enhanced version of the Blind Light that they later developed themselves.

This is not just as simple as dazzling the eyes, but also affects the senses. Under this influence, the undead party does not fall into a state of blindness, but loses all sensory functions.

Of course, just for a little while.

But it is very practical, especially with their good use of the Holy Storm technique, the effect is first-class, and it is often the starting move of the paladins against group enemies, especially the enemies of the dark camp.

However, tonight, the gap in the number of paladins, as well as the trap being ambushed, led to a one-sided battle.

In addition to the group detoxification, the paladins also have a group dispersal move, which can effectively affect the profane summons, causing the effect of the spell to collapse, and the bone warrior and bone mage will fall apart when the light is scattered.

But the spellcaster on the undead side has an absolute advantage. The bone creature summoned quickly slaughtered the wounded in the explosion, providing more materials for casting spells, and the obsidian golem restores mana...

Facing the crisis, Uther made a difficult decision to give up rescue and retreat!

He knew that if he didn't do this, no one would be able to leave here tonight, and he would be tortured to death here.

The long bridge was blown up, but outside the Barov family castle, there is a road around the island on the west side of the main gate, leading to a small pier. Uther called for people to retreat there, while he, the paladins and stronger warriors stayed behind. , and rescued a few sporadic wounded soldiers from time to time.

Some wounded soldiers withdrew, others were so wounded that they chose to die in battle.

Life and death, scenes and tragedies.

Paladins once again played an important role, replacing priests with blessings of rest, preventing the souls of the dead from being abused by the undead.

This skill was also learned from colleagues in the Holy Palace. Many paladins didn't pay much attention to it when they first learned it, but now they realize that it is of great significance, even surpassing the value of combat skills by a lot.

There is naturally Kane's plan here.

In the fourth year since he came to this world, he has already basically determined that the world of Azeroth is very similar to the world of the abyss in terms of the cycle of life and death and the destination of the soul.

There is an underworld, but there is no hell, but only a relatively primitive habitat for souls.

In this context, if he doesn't do something, then he wouldn't be him...
