Chapter 1092 45. Federation-Empire Strikes Back (Part 1)

Whatever happens in the night, it will return to the night.

No matter how long the dawn may be, the dawn will come.

In the eternal rotation of Azeroth, the first ray of sunlight finally pierced through the darkness and sprinkled on the land of the eastern continent. Thousands of rays of light broke through the blockade of the night like a surging tide and descended on this land. A land of miracles and hope, but it failed to wake up those who were sleeping... because last night, no one slept at all.

Although Kil'jaeden the Deceiver and the Eredar fleet entered Azeroth through the rift torn above the city of Suramar, at the flying speed of the Burning Legion starship, they arrived on Azeroth in less than 1 hour. Hours later, their fleets sprinkled the fire of destruction on every inch of the world. The demons thought that their arrival would be like when they once ran amok across the stars, bringing irresistible pressure to the creatures and civilizations of this world. Panic, and then, in that delightful panic, they will wipe everything out of this world.

Whether it's a happy thing or a great thing, whether it's a depraved offal or a disgusting sin, it's all wiped away at once.

But the demons underestimated Azeroth, or they underestimated the courage and strength of the world's counterattack.

In the previous dialogue between the shadow and the great lord, the shadow once said that the dark blade told the civilizations of Azeroth in advance about the imminent invasion of the demons, and regarded it as another test of life and death under pressure.

But the dark blade's notification was carried out in another way. These undead were extremely awkward. Even helping and saving the world had to be done by the hands of others.

The Dark Alliance, the Justice League, and other neutral organizations sent envoys to the various civilizations of Azeroth nearly a month ago. They used various very intuitive data to persuade these civilizations to face up to the threat of demons. Whether the creatures of the world are willing or not, a third attack on this world launched by demons will come.

But this time, the demons didn't intend to hold back any more. Once they launched an attack, it would inevitably be the destruction of the thunderstorm.

Azeroth's previous two defeats of the Burning Legion were achieved through sacrifice and playing tricks, but this time, the demons will no longer give the world a chance to play tricks. In any case, the whole world must be ready for an attack of oblivion.

Before every destructive war or disaster, there will always be various messengers to come forward to call, which is almost the practice of major events in Azeroth.

And every leader in today's form of civilization will not ignore or ignore such warnings as their fathers did. After ten years of disaster, those who are not smart enough or wise enough have been cleared out Yes, those in power today are very clear about the laws of how the world works.

Therefore, after receiving the warning, all civilizations and forces on the four continents have raced against time to prepare for the invasion.

"boom"

When the sun shone into Stormwind City, it happened to be the moment when the demon fleet invading the Federation launched another attack. The dense rays of fel energy shot down from the sky above Stormwind City, and the city walls that had been destroyed into a pile of ruins were blasted to pieces again. , but failed to harm the soldiers hiding in the city bunkers, and in the ruins of Stormwind City, there is also the wreckage of a demon starship that was taken down by the Federation, lying in a miserable posture that was split in two In the ruins of the city.

It's like declaring the power of the Federation!

But the ten-kilometer-long demon starship suspended in the air like a steel mountain is like a terrifying mountain that weighs on everyone's hearts. Every time it moves, it will spread the shadow that envelops the entire city. There are hundreds of demon shuttles, and those small fighters are extremely fast. These shuttle-shaped steel fighters rush into the battlefield with vicious demons. In the hail of bullets on the ground, from time to time there are unlucky shuttles It was hit and exploded, but in the ruins, the demons still relied on the power of the starship to occupy a suppressive posture.

This is the flagship of the demon fleet that invaded the eastern continent, and while Stormwind was under attack, every important city on this continent was not spared. Demons rushed into the world in the night, from Booty Bay to Stan Som, regardless of race, civilization, or belief, all lives are marked by the demons as enemies that must be destroyed at this moment.

All the hatred was meaningless, and during their attacks, the entire eastern continent fell into flames of war at the same time.

However, the attacks of the demons did not cause the results they imagined.

At the moment when the starship broke into the territory of the Federation, the Supreme Council got the bad news. Thanks to the telegraph communication that had been laid throughout the Federation, almost at the same time, the major cities and towns of the Federation began to rapidly population. Transfer, the Federation followed a principle when building cities, that is, in each city, a large underground shelter large enough to accommodate everyone must be built, and the disaster drill every three months also made the retreat of the Federation residents very orderly. sequence.

Because of the demon war warning from the neutral organization, the federal legions that had already been transferred to the surrounding major cities also quickly entered their positions. While the demon starship was attacking, the federal counterattack also came. The defense legion of Stormwind City used 400 A black missile retaliated against the demon's attack, and the small starship following the demon's flagship was forcibly killed from the sky 10 minutes after the battle started.

That was the first victory in Stormwind City's counterattack!

The ants are still alive, not to mention the civilization born out of the dark blade, their fangs sharpened by the dark blade are sharp enough, and in their dictionary, the word surrender is not at all!

"The demons are trying to enter the ground again!"

On the battlefield of Stormwind City, the engineering rotorcraft responsible for battlefield reconnaissance flexibly avoided the missiles fired by the small shuttle in the air, and passed the bad news to the army headquarters in the ruins, which was a temporary command under the church area. Therefore, the members of the Supreme Council and the field marshals of the Federation are here.

"The situation is very bad. Our soldiers on land can still resist the attack of demons, but if this continues, we will be dragged down!"

Chairman Edwin Van Cleef, who was completely bald, looked at the current situation of the battlefield projected on the spar screen on the wall. Army soldiers with guns in the bunker responded with bullets and artillery to the demons who tried to land, but the tenacity of the ground troops The counterattack did not harm the starship in the sky at all, and if the starship that shadowed everything was not destroyed, it meant that the battle in Stormwind City could not end at all.

"It's because we've run out of missiles!"

"The shells of the artillery can't penetrate the shield of the damn starship at all! We need more missiles!"

Marshal Maxwell, the army commander in military uniform and a member of the Supreme Council, was holding a burning cigar buttock. He opened his hands and said to the surrounding members:

"The Black Iron District promised us more missiles, but it's already dawn, why haven't we seen their support yet?"

"There are also two starships that have gone to the Black Iron District. The battle there is also very hard. We need to persevere and give them a little confidence!"

While speaking, the member of the Black Iron Dwarf turned his head and asked the signal soldier:

"Has the communication in the Black Iron District been restored yet?"

"No, Mr. Senator."

The communications soldier fiddled with the communication equipment that looked like a telegraph in front of him, and he said sadly:

"No one knows what happened. The communication over there was suddenly disconnected. It has been almost 10 minutes..."

"Zi...Zi...Zi, the Black Iron District is calling the base camp! Can you hear it? Hell, the shock wave of the explosion almost destroyed this machine, hello? Can you hear it?"

At the moment when the atmosphere in the headquarters became stagnant, a dwarf's iconic broken gong sounded in the communication machine that stopped functioning, which startled everyone. Just as the communication soldier was about to answer, Maxwell Marshal Er grabbed the microphone, and the old marshal shouted loudly:

"This is the base camp of Stormwind City, I'm Maxwell! Report the situation in the Black Iron District!"

"Ah, it's the Marshal."

The dwarf over there became a little flustered, but soon regained his shock, and he answered aloud:

"The Rocket Army in the Black Iron District has just test-fired a new weapon in the experimental stage. Although there was a little trouble in the middle, it doesn't matter. In short, we successfully killed the two starships that should go to hell. The demons who landed I was terrified, haha, all those bastards fled!"

During the dwarf's joyful report, the marshal could still hear the noisy shouting over there, mixed with the screams of some people, so the marshal asked:

"What's going on? What's going on with these noises? Didn't it mean that the battle is over?"

"Ah, this, it's nothing important."

The dwarf messenger said carelessly:

"It's just that the laboratory exploded. They are fighting the fire. Oh, Muradin's beard is on it. The fire is really big."

The marshal was embarrassed, but he didn't forget the business, he said seriously:

"A starship has been destroyed on the battlefield of Stormwind City, but there is another one that is suppressing us. We need missiles! The railway should not be blown up yet, so send a batch of missiles over here!"

"Missile? No, no, no!"

The dwarf yelled:

"Forget missiles, Marshal, we have better weapons! Hold on for a second, three giant X-52 war rockets are being assembled and will be loaded soon, and in about 30-40 minutes, we'll be there past!"

"beep beep beep"

Accompanied by a burst of busy communication, the bewildered Marshal looked back at the MPs behind him. Chairman Edwin scratched his smooth and shiny scalp, and said:

"X-52 rocket? I remember that was not the vehicle designed by the Overspark Laboratory to explore the stars? Those dwarves also claimed that they would soon step into the stars, saying that it was an engineering miracle that crossed the ages , How could this become a weapon of war again?"

"These are not important!"

Marshal Maxwell stifled his cigar butt on the table. The old soldier's eyes flashed fiercely, and he said:

"Since the support is coming, we can fight back! The Power Armor Legion is dispatched! Clear the ground! Hack all those demons to death!"

With the order of the marshal, the entrance gates of several underground bases in the ruins of Stormwind City were opened, and the demons who were fighting against the artillery fire of the federal soldiers in the ruins immediately found a new target. These destroyers among the stars carried The ferocious blood-stained weapon roared and rushed towards the soldiers who stepped out of the base, and then...

The massacre has begun.

"boom"

There was a loud noise like thunder, and half of the skull of the fastest charging demon was lifted by the scorching bullet. This movement startled the charging demons. When these ferocious bastards raised their heads, they saw a white-haired The gray old man stepped out of the ruins by manipulating a weird steel thing.

Marshal Maxwell was smoking a freshly lit cigar. Outside his old body, thick steel formed a new armor. His whole body was wrapped in a humanoid power armor, which was Designed according to the shape of a human being, it looks bulky and fierce. Between the five fingers of the two open steel arms, there is a heavy steam-powered shotgun. The muzzle of the gun is the size of a human head, and the bullets it shoots are simply Same with small artillery.

And behind this ferocious steel power armor, there is also a heavy lightning ax on his back, which is obviously a weapon used for close combat.

The Dark Blade Legion had studied Power Armor technology in the early days, but with the setting of the future of "Mechanical God", the bulky Power Armor was abandoned, but it was picked up by the Federation. Today, this kind of The research on mechanical warfare systems for individual combat has entered a mature stage, but due to the high cost, only a small number of troops of the federation with deep pockets are equipped with these terrifying weapons.

Behind Marshal Maxwell, heavy power armor stepped out of the base. Although the team had less than 30 people, these fighters had no fear in their hearts facing the hundreds of demons in front of them!

Flesh... How can it compare to the killing of steel?

Looking at the shocked eyes of the demons in front of him, a trace of ferocity flashed across the old face of Marshal Maxwell. With the triple shield of the power armor used to protect the manipulator's head tightly fastened, in the collision of steel gears, on the white As the scorching gas from the steam vent dissipated, the shotgun in the hands of the old marshal was raised, amidst the roar of flames, and the bursting of flesh and blood from the devil, accompanied by a low and warm welcome speech...

"Welcome to Azeroth... Mazefak!"

"Aha! The terror of the demons will end today, and the name of the Overspark Laboratory will resound throughout Azeroth!!!"

In the open space outside the Donggu Railway Station, amidst the crazed laughter of the dwarf engineer, three heavy launchers loaded with strange gadgets and transformed from several land battle tanks began to operate alternately.

The three 40-meter-long conical rockets are three-section conical, with four tail fins fixed below them. The silver-white steel rockets weighing dozens of tons were slowly lifted by the raised brackets, and finally aimed at nearly a hundred kilometers away. Over the sky of Stormwind City, the demon starship hovered like a hill.

It's hard to miss such a big target.

These three rockets are called X-52 interstellar rockets, which were originally used by the Overspark Laboratory to launch exploration rockets into the stars. Gnome rockets were filled with the explosives that destroyed several cities, and the two races of dwarfs combined to transform the thing into the most insane weapon in Azeroth engineering today.

"Are you aiming?"

"Ignition program activated! Let the glory of engineering... save the world!!!"

"5.4.3.2.1!!"

"emission!!!"
