Chapter 418 32. Visitors From Afar

The red dragons are willing to help the human army fight against the undead. In addition to the human mages who helped the red dragon rescue the red dragon queen who was imprisoned by the orcs a few years ago, there is another reason, because the red dragon itself is the guardian of life. He has an instinctive aversion to undead born from death.

And now, on the battlefield of Wildhammer Heights, when the human army's rear army has almost collapsed under the shelling, the red dragon, one of the trump cards of the human army, finally appeared on the stage. They flapped their huge wings and swept over the human When the position was in the air, some red dragons lowered their heads and spewed dragon fire, covering the human soldiers in chaos below in flames, but this was not attacking their teammates.

The breath of the red dragons is very strange, it has two characteristics of life and destruction, as long as the red dragons are willing, the dragon fire they spit out will carry a huge amount of vitality, and the human beings burned by the dragon fire will not Instead of feeling pain, you will be healed. This is a seemingly cruel treatment.

But when these large lizards approached the undead army formation, the fire pillars they lowered their heads and sprayed were the out-and-out flames of destruction.

In those scorching fire pillars connecting heaven and earth, any skeletons and undead shrouded in them will be ignited, and under the intense flames, they will soon turn into a pile of ashes, and the breath of dragon fire lasts for a very long time. If the dragons are willing, they can even burn the entire army of undead in a short period of time.

That's why before the battle, Luminas was worried about the formation. She had seen with her own eyes what kind of damage the breath of the dragons would cause to the undead.

"Well, it's spectacular!"

Danath Trollbane looked at the army formation shrouded in dragon fire ahead. The scene of nearly a hundred red dragons flying almost covered the sky. Under their breath, nearly ten thousand fragile undead skeletons was completely reimbursed.

The red dragons obviously have enough ability to protect their habitats. These existences at the top of the food chain in the mortal world of Azeroth possess power that is hard for mortals to imagine.

And just when the red dragons let out a cheerful roar, planning to move forward and start attacking the undead formation, Rogelio, who had been waiting for a long time, finally saw the raised left hand of Danas, under his scolding, The high-level knights manipulating the sun cannon locked their targets one after another. These golden ray cannons with cumbersome shapes and magical atmosphere were fired silently and extremely gorgeously.

"whoosh"

Nearly 20 scorching golden rays pierced the sky in an almost sudden manner. The first batch of red dragons who were caught off guard were hit by these scorching rays that were powerful enough to penetrate the defense of the great demon. Several huge dragons wailed on the spot. Falling into the ground in the pain of burning flesh and blood, and then slowly drowned by the black undead.

Although not many dragons were lost, the appearance of this weapon caused the red dragons that had completely occupied the airspace to retreat subconsciously. Weapons that are likely to kill when hit still make these powerful creatures feel threatened.

A few giant dragons that had been scratched by the scorching rays retreated into the cluster in the air with howls, and their painful howls prevented other giant dragons from rushing through the airspace blockade.

In the position below, Danas opened his pocket watch again and looked at the time. After confirming that the 60-minute limit had ended, the Undead General raised his head and glanced at the red dragon in the sky. The high-ranking knight herald said something, and a few minutes later, the two battle groups that reorganized their formation began to roll forward.

It was like launching the final general attack, ignoring the threatening dragon roaring in the sky, and launched the impact of the sea of ​​undead towards the withered and chaotic human positions.

The rampant attitude of the undead carrying the black Broken Blade Banner quickly enraged the red dragon in the sky. This is the first time that they were completely ignored by weak creatures, which caused great harm to the hearts of these powerful creatures. , some reckless red dragons roared and were about to jump down to give the undead a good look, but at the same moment as the undead army charged, in the northwest of the Wildhammer Highlands, in the direction of the Ruby Holy Land, there was an earth-shattering sound. The explosion sounded.

When the red dragons looked back, they could see the black gunpowder smoke floating over the holy land they were guarding. This made the older red dragons let out an unforgivable roar, and there was a trace of undisguised anxiety in it.

Under their orders, most of the red dragons almost immediately abandoned the human army that was struggling against the sea of ​​undead below, and rushed back towards the holy land. Red dragon eggs that had not yet been hatched were stored in the ruby ​​holy land. The basis of the existence of the Red Dragon Clan, under this threat, the survival of human beings is no longer important.

Of course, the red dragons did not do anything wrong, and still left nearly 10 red dragons to help humans, but when the undead began to charge, the artillery of Commander Rogelio was released, and all the artillery were aimed at The sky, including those dangerous sunlight heavy artillery, the red dragons who hit the sky with waves of barrage offensives did not dare to make a dive at all, and once they flew close to the ground, they were easily caught by those cunning, hidden behind the undead. The high-ranking knights in the middle seized the opportunity and jumped on their backs with the death grip to wreak havoc.

They are not artillery that do not want to destroy the undead, but the 5 giant statues commanded by Rogelio are also standing in front of the artillery positions. These land battle kings who can fight the most brutal black dragons in melee are far from more The "delicate" red dragon can be dealt with.

Seeing the last remnants of human soldiers retreating towards the coast southeast of Wildhammer Heights under the escort of heavy cavalry and red dragons, Danas didn't waste time chasing them. He looked at his pocket watch for the last time, and nodded with satisfaction. nod.

"One hour and 23 minutes, not bad..."

"Gather the rout and continue forward. Within 3 hours, we will cross the mountainous area of ​​the Wildhammer Highlands, and then report back to our Majesty. At midnight today, we will launch an attack on the human positions from the northeast of Arathi!"

—————————————

"Are you sure you still want to chase me?"

Behind the beautifully dressed bone dragon "Queen", Luminas in dark red armor shouted to the red dragons who were chasing after her:

"There are still many bombs planted in your holy land, don't you want to protect those fragile dragon eggs?"

"Murderer!"

The leader of the red dragons in the sky, the son of Alexstrasza the Life-binder, the red dragon Valastrasz shouted:

"All the atrocities you did to the Great Queen, all the crimes you committed in the Holy Land, you will become the dragon's enemy!"

"Sorry, but we probably don't care!"

Luminas sneered, and pressed the remote detonation button in her hand without hesitation.

"boom"

Another loud noise erupted under the beautiful and noble tree in the Ruby Holy Land, and the soaring flames ignited the sky of the Red Dragon Holy Land. Alan let out another furious roar, but this couldn't change anything.

"Let me remind you."

The death lord's cold voice sounded again:

"I can detonate 4 more times. Think about whether to continue chasing us, or go back to protect your holy land... There is not much time left for you."

"Aw!"

In the annoyed roar of the red dragon prince Velasterz, the red dragon in the sky slowly stopped its chasing wings, and watched the death leader and her skeleton dragon team fly to the high ground with a series of sharp laughter. of the north.

"Ma'am, why don't you detonate all the bombs?"

The high-ranking orc knight Tull drove his bone dragon to approach Luminas, and he asked in a low voice:

"Once we meet up with the formation, even if those red dragons come after us, it won't help. They are just a group of bullying cowards!"

"I also want to completely destroy that place. Since I am already an enemy, I don't need to show mercy."

Luminas let out a sigh of regret, and she threw the remote detonation device invented by the goblin in her hand to the orc death knight:

"But we don't have that many explosives at all... It's very lucky to be able to arrange three detonation points in 10 minutes."

The orc knight Tull repeatedly pressed the big red button, but no matter how hard he pressed it, there was no explosion sound. This cunning death knight immediately understood, and he said in a complimenting tone:

"You're a genius at deceit, ma'am, look at those lizards running around you."

"But if I have more skeleton dragons in my hands, we don't need to use this kind of low-handed deception at all. I don't care about the deceitful victory."

Luminas brushed her fiery red hair, she looked back at the Red Dragon Sanctuary emitting gunpowder smoke behind her, and said softly:

"Let's go, don't stay too long, these nosy big lizards will be trouble sooner or later."

———————————————

On the Arathi frontal battlefield, they successfully crossed the 750-yard strait and entered the range of the Arathi Highlands. The southern fortress group was severely damaged, but even after losing a third of the fortress, the soldiers of Commander Lothar still gritted their teeth and fought back wave after wave of undead attacks in the ruins.

Tyrion handed over most of the artillery to Danas for rear raids, which led to a frontal battlefield where the firepower on the side of the undead was weak, at least facing the number of artillery on the wall of the large fortress across the plain. Dark Blade can be called the weak side.

And the defender with the support of superior firepower has the upper hand in such a battle.

Seeing another wave of advancing bones and undead being submerged in the explosion of shells falling from the sky, Tyrion complained to the archlich beside him:

"If I have a few cans of the cuties you prepared..."

"Even if I give you the plague, you won't use it."

The Grand Lich calmly considered the Dark Blade King's complaints, and a faint smile flashed in his silver eyes:

"You don't want these warriors to die humblely in the plague. You want to end them with your own hands and let them die on the battlefield. I understand that sometimes it is so embarrassing to fight against the enemy with bound hands and feet, but restrictions are necessary , the greatest enemy of the undead is not the human empire, but the unfettered evil thoughts in our hearts, I agree with your views, which is great."

"Well, you still know me."

Tyrion shook his head, he looked at the strong fortress in front of him, and said softly:

"Can you find a way to throw the giant statues in? As long as 5 giant statues enter the fortress, we can capture it immediately."

"It's a very good idea. With the destructive power of the Colossus in a short period of time, it is indeed possible to break through the blockade very quickly, but the problem is that I can't do it."

Khadgar shrugged, he also looked at the distant city wall, and said:

"There are a few of my "old friends" there. The space anchor node is set up almost perfectly, and it is difficult to be destroyed from the outside. Why don't you let your vampires who hide in the human body try it, maybe you only need to sacrifice a few , can destroy the node, and then we won here without any effort."

"Just a fortress? No, they're not that cheap."

The Darkblade Lord replied:

"If it was Lordaeron or Alterac City standing in front of me, maybe I could order them to sacrifice their lives, but now, the rewards and sacrifices are too disproportionate."

"Danas has broken through Wildhammer Heights, and the outcome is at midnight today. Let us wait patiently... Get rid of this place, and there is even more troublesome Stromgarde. If we can't take Stromgarde, occupy No amount of land is useless."

And at the moment when Tyrion finished speaking, a high-ranking knight riding a horse came to Tyrion and handed him a crystal exuding strange power. Tyrion was watching When he saw the notch on the surface of the crystal, he frowned deeply.

He nodded to the archlich, then turned to leave, and the archlich looked back at Tyrion's hastily leaving back, and in his silver eyes, there was a glimmer of inquiry.

Something Tyrion had been looking forward to and worrying about had happened... no doubt about it.

At the same time, in the twilight forest far away from the Arathi Highland battlefield, under the vigilant and curious gazes of the high-ranking knights, a figure taller than ordinary humans was quietly leaning on a stone chair, standing in front of his eyes. A communication crystal was placed on the table. A few seconds later, Tyrion's figure appeared above the communication crystal. He looked at this tall human with brown eyes and a cold aura all over his body.

Tyrion could tell at a glance that the half-giant was a vrykul... a vrykul necromancer, a type of undead that didn't even exist in the Darkblade Legion.

"What did the severe cold and bone-chilling storm in the north bring me?"

Tyrion asked a rambling question, and the robotic, necromantic vrykul, after a few seconds, said in a hollow voice:

"The master said... the time has come!"
