Chapter 503 2. All Beings Panic
Northern Xinjiang has been completely changed.
The change is not just the terrain, not just the memory of the residents living here, not just the civilization of this place, but also the climate, and many other things.
Those thoughts, or emotions that are closely related to everyone, whether they are civilians or soldiers, whether they are old people or children, are hidden under the appearance of disaster, and they have witnessed the prologue of the new era, which is like a god. The light like a trace, and the shaped Dalaran Strait, this mythical and legendary scene allows everyone to leave a part of their life here forever.
After seeing the undead, demons and other darkness, the world in front of the eyes of all living beings has already become another look. After removing the camouflage of tenderness, this world will reveal the coldest and most real side of itself, completely exposed to sunlight.
"crash"
The torrential rain has lasted for two full days in the Tirisfal region of Lordaeron. Perhaps the Eye of Sargeras' bombardment triggered a magical tide covering the entire northern border, or perhaps tens of millions of tons of seawater poured into the interior of the continent. It caused a drastic change in temperature. In short, the weather in the recent period has not been very normal.
And in the heavy rain, a team from the south was struggling through the muddy water. They were some soldiers and a large number of immigrants. They came from the Alterac Kingdom and the Hillsbrad Foothills The transferred residents, including many Kul Tirans and some residents of the Stormwind Kingdom, were all moving forward quietly under the torrential rain.
Even the most ignorant children felt a wave of panic amidst the adults' low emotions. They grabbed their parents' clothes tightly. In the cold rain, the children's hair was stuck to their foreheads. In those fearful eyes, there was a sense of bewilderment about the future.
The carriages in the crowd pulled a huge amount of supplies, which were rescued from the towns near the rapidly changing canyon. In the impact and corrosion of the sea water, the creation of the disaster, the magnificent Dalaran Strait is being It widens day by day, and every day, this land will lose some soil. According to the predictions of the surviving mages, the huge strait full of sea water, the waters like the lagoon of the ocean, will eventually swallow nearly another tenth of it. An Alterac.
Some young people looked back, and in the dim rain, they could still barely see the silhouette of the Alterac Mountains, but the snow on that perpetually snow-capped mountain had already begun to melt, and perhaps soon, there Any Alterac Valley that survived the light's catastrophe will become a huge freshwater lake.
Their hometown, the scenes in their memories, have all disappeared, they have no home...
"Hurry up, hurry up!"
The officer of this huge immigrant procession, on horseback, called out to the crowd around him:
"A further 3 kilometers ahead will be the shelter of the Kingdom of Lordaeron. Work harder, everyone, we will be there soon!"
This officer is wearing the blouse and armor of the Human Empire. He is not domineering. In fact, the commanders trained by Emperor Lothar in the past ten years have all inherited some of His Majesty's character traits, helping and caring for civilians. They will devote more energy to improving people's lives, be braver, and be more loyal to their mission.
This is a group of people completely different from the previous aristocratic bureaucrats. If Lothar is given more time, let him cultivate more such people, and use a long time to subtly influence the entire human civilization. Maybe hundreds of years later, The future of the human empire will truly be limitless.
But time... time is the most merciless judge, and the Imperium of Man is far from having that much time.
The civilians who were chilled by the heavy rain were hungry and hungry. They staggered forward in the heavy rain for a whole day, which had pushed their bodies and spirits to the limit, but they could not rest yet. After the leader, there is no longer a safe place, coupled with the demons that have been breeding everywhere in the whole world recently, the previous inherent order has been completely shattered, and the whole world seems to have entered an era of chaos and disorder.
The people long for Emperor Lothar to become their savior again as before, but Lothar knows very well that he cannot save them. In such an era of change that has completely swept the world, he cannot save anyone, not even his own future. They cannot be controlled by themselves.
He can only do this, he can only move the people to a safer place before the situation deteriorates further, and he himself is still stuck in the fortress of the king's territory, blocking the dark blade army from behind for the people.
Tyrion wants to change the world in his own way, but in the eyes of these ordinary people, the Dark Blade King, the undead king just wants to destroy everything about them, just like the great demon in those stories, Like the big villains, their eyes can't see so far into the future, their lives are full of daily necessities and simple and vulgar happiness, which is everything to them.
World Peace? unity? The wisdom and power of crowds? The sublimation of an entire civilization?
Sorry, civilians don't care about this... They don't realize it, they don't see the connection with them, even in the free Defias Federation, there are a large number of people who are not so enthusiastic about participating in "state affairs", and even more What's more, what about these civilians who were bound by the feudal system?
But it's not their fault.
They are innocents in this continuous disaster, but they are not so innocent. They just haven't realized the true power of the group, and they haven't realized their significance to this world, that's all.
"Boom, boom, boom"
Among the mountains covered by heavy rain, when the crowd was staggering forward, several muffled sounds sounded in the depths of the nearby forest. The detection magic in the hands of the mages guarding the crowd issued a sharp alarm. This sudden sound Many people looked up in a daze, and soon, the soldiers guarding near the team gathered, and they looked around vigilantly.
There was a commotion in the crowd, which obviously represented the arrival of danger.
"The devil! It's a devil!"
Screams resounded in the crowd, under the dim rain, among the violently moving mountains and forests, the tall demon guards, dragging hideous weapons and roaring from all directions, rushed out of the hiding place. in the eyes of the common people.
In the past hundreds of years, the word devil appeared most frequently in the poems of those troubadours. No one thought that he would encounter a living devil in his life, but now, in the recent period of time, the devil has Became one of the most ordinary members of Northern Xinjiang and even the world.
In the sky invisible to mortals, beyond the broken space wall of Azeroth, on the land of Mardun, the star of demons, out-of-control demons keep rushing into this world. A place appeared, maybe in the wilderness, maybe in a factory in the Black Iron District, or even in the square of Stormwind City.
With the passage of time, after the space wall is slowly closed, such weird disasters will subside, but at least for now, the people have to pay attention to every place around them with trepidation.
"Blood! Flesh! Soul!"
The secondary demon commander who had just rushed into this world grabbed his two battle axes. The eyes of this tall destroyer were full of chaos and tyranny, with a cruel light shining. It stood in the icy rainstorm, letting The raindrops hit his body, and were quickly evaporated by the flames entwined on the surface of the body. The high-temperature, sulfur-smelling steam entangled its body, making it look extraordinarily hideous and terrifying.
"boom"
The Destroyer swung its warhammer and smashed the human knight with horses into the crowd, and the splattered blood caused even more terrifying chaos, which made the arrogant demon guards around burst into laughter. They like it like this mess.
They didn't see the scene of Archimonde's death in battle with their own eyes. They don't know anything about the dangers of this evil world. Because of their ignorance, they are even more fearless...
"Kill all human beings! Brothers, today, we will drink blood!"
This destroyer seems to have some ink in its stomach. Amidst its roar, those demon guards wearing hideous armor grinned forward. Each of them is several times stronger than humans, and often requires several human knights. Together, only one can be killed with tactical cooperation. Of course, if there are enough heavy weapons, these ordinary demon guards are not so difficult to deal with.
But in the team escorting immigrants, how can there be heavy weapons that can only be found on the battlefield?
In short, 2 minutes after the demons appeared, the entire mountain forest covered by the torrential rain had become the cruelest battlefield. The human knights under Lothar fought hard in the torrential rain. They protected the unarmed civilians behind them, while some Men also stood up and fought with these soldiers, because behind them were their families, their wives, and their sons.
Every bloody man will make such a choice, even if they know that their sacrifice may not bring the safety of their family.
"boom"
A sword-wielding knight was knocked to the ground by the giant destroyer. The ugly demon stomped on the struggling knight with its own feet while laughing wildly. directly trampled to death.
It looked down at the human roaring like a beast, and it laughed wildly:
"Struggle, bug, the more you struggle, the happier I will be when I kill you!"
"boom"
The knight who was stepped on felt that the bones in his body were moaning, screaming, and screaming, but he gritted his teeth and didn't make any sound of begging for mercy. He took off a cold thing from his belt and held it firmly in his hand.
"Let's die together, monster!"
"click"
The beating sound of the machine spring was so ear-piercing in the sound of the rainstorm beating the ground, the Destroyer subconsciously lowered his head, and saw that the blood-smeared knight was holding a smoking black iron block in his hand.
At this moment, in the knight's eyes, the Destroyer saw a calmness that made his heart skip a beat.
"boom"
The arms sold by Heisus are all typical goblin-style engineering products, which are known as explosive battlefield masterpieces. In the devastation of this special high-explosive grenade close-range explosion, the heroic human knight can be said to have no bones left, and he is powerful and arrogant. The Destroyer also uttered the most painful roar since the start of the war amidst the scorching flames.
"Ahhh!"
It staggered back a few steps, its left leg was already distorted by the blast, and the "gadget" hidden in the grenade pierced into its blood and bones, making it Every time I move, it hurts my heart.
And the sacrifice of this warrior also made the battlefield under the heavy rain quiet for a moment. The demons were taken aback by the human counterattack, and the human beings were encouraged by the heroic actions of their companions. Courage, a steady stream of courage from these human beings His heart rose, and soon, more desperate fighters grabbed those demons, and with the sound of the grenade explosion, they pierced the hearts of these invincible invaders fiercely with the sword made of their own courage.
"Snapped"
A cold stone hit the head of the screaming Destroyer. When the demon raised his head, he saw a young boy wearing worn-out leather armor with a dagger pinned to his waist, staring at him with angry and desperate eyes. It, under the torrential rain, the child's hair was stuck to his forehead, but the flames in those eyes were beating like substance.
"That's my brother! You, go to hell! Devil!"
"Snapped"
Another sharp stone hit the twisted and ugly Destroyer's eyes, which didn't make it feel pain, but made the demon feel a kind of humiliation.
"Ah! Human cub!"
It propped up its body with a ferocious weapon, and as it staggered, the flames of evil energy condensed in its eyes. The next moment, this child who was overwhelmed by his own strength would be completely burned by the fire of evil energy. Feeling his own doom, but he firmly held the twisted long sword left by his brother. There was fear in his eyes, but the pain of losing a loved one made him grit his teeth and refuse to retreat.
At this moment, a whizzing sharp ax tore through the rain curtain, and at the moment when the destroyer's fel magic was about to be launched, it slashed fiercely on the back of the destroyer. The battle ax easily tore the strong skin of the demon, and let the scorching demon blood spill everywhere.
"Wow, wow"
The undead infantry wearing black armor and holding strange heavy weapons mixed with muskets and battle axes rushed out of the forest quickly. Under the command of the death knights, these undead infantry who had changed their costumes quickly The speed separates the chaotic crowd from the battlefield of fierce fighting. Those demons know that they have met a new opponent. They try to kill these strange undead like killing humans, but under the concentrated fire of the muskets in the hands of the undead infantry, they One by one, they were knocked to the ground.
And that destroyer... that tall demon was easily smashed by Saurfang standing in the rain, and its thick arms were also cut off by the death lord's sharp axe. Saurfang said indifferently. Looking at the overwhelmed idiot demon under his feet, he raised his head, and his ice blue eyes stared at the bewildered human boy.
"You want to avenge your brother?"
The death lord asked calmly. Seeing the strange light in Saurfang's eyes, the boy knew that he had encountered an undead, or the most difficult dark blade undead in his brother's mouth. But at this moment, the hatred for demons overwhelmed him. Aware of his fear of the undead, he gritted his teeth under Saurfang's gaze, and nodded vigorously under the icy rain.
"swish"
A long sword engraved with runes was stuck under the boy's feet. Saurfang moved his arms and kicked the Destroyer who had lost his limbs to the boy's eyes, and said softly:
"Then, it's... yours!"
