Chapter 778 30. Hyjal. Night Falls
On the main battlefield of Mount Hyjal, the Dark Blade Legion suddenly appeared in a surprise attack, attacking both the night elves and the Naga at the same time. When the undead raided without mercy, the armies of both sides fell into chaos and confusion almost at the same time.
However, the dark blade undead equipped with hot weapons has amazing lethality. Under the rapid shooting of the slugs of the heavy axes and guns they are equipped with, the violent sea beasts domesticated by the Naga will be smashed into a sieve on the way of charging. Under the command of the death knight, these murderous undead infantry used a simple and effective shock formation, matched with the full projectile firepower of the artillery, and the three-phase combination of the steam tank forward equipped with a large-caliber grenade launcher. Under tactics, it is very easy to suppress both sides of the war at the same time.
On the land of the holy mountain of Hyjal, which was completely shrouded in acrid gunpowder smoke, amidst the destructive roar of artillery fire, the night elves' defense line collapsed first, but under the leadership of Ryan Wolfwalker, these cards who lost their fortress The Dolei elves did not rush away. Although the elves were lazy, they also knew that the World Tree was behind them, and they had no way out.
Compared with the fast-moving elves who fought and retreated, the Naga warriors on the other side caused more trouble to the Dark Blade. These deep-sea soft-skinned snakes took advantage of the cover of the cold tide, and when they discovered that land battles were not at all After the opponents of the undead, these Naga decisively chose to enter the water for ambushes. On their dominant battlefield, when the steam tank could not be launched into the water, the damage of the dark blade undead became more and more.
This phenomenon was quickly noticed by Rogelio Rinu, who commanded the artillery unit. After thinking for a while, the artillery commander decisively used a tactic.
Under his order, one-third of the artillery of the Dark Blade artillery position began to fill the "cute" newly developed by the master craftsman Heisuo, which were some glass jars protected by a steel shell. When firing the shells, you can still see the viscous and ominous green liquid in the glass jar... It's very similar to the kind of creepy thing that Dark Blade used when attacking Darkforge City a few years ago.
"All retreat, stick to the land front, and collect the corpses of the Naga in 30 minutes!"
Rogelio's icy voice rang in the ears of Grokush who commanded the Naga battlefield. The orc death knight chopped down the Naga warriors around him with an axe, and then quickly withdrew from the area with the dark blade knight and infantry. The shallow water area hindered their movement. When they were retreating, the Naga hiding in the water thought they had defeated the undead. These cheering soft-skinned snakes, led by a few impulsive deep water lords, were about to rush up and fight with those who retreated. The undead continued to fight.
However, at this very moment...
"whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh"
Like off-string arrows, shot from the gun barrel, but without the striking posture of ordinary explosive bombs, those hundreds of slender iron cans that flew into the sky crossed the retreating undead line and fell into the sky. In the icy cold tide that covered one-fifth of Mount Hyjal, those shells painted with green skulls smashed into the water one after another, splashing water, but did not cause an explosion.
On the contrary, when they plunged into the deepest part of the water, the small liquid pump inside the shell began to spin wildly, and the viscous green liquid was sprayed into the surrounding water in a "thick smoke billowing" posture underwater among.
Standing on the edge of the shallow water area, Glokush, with his battle ax on his back, raised his left hand and looked at the tactical watch on his wrist. He raised three fingers and pointed at his adjutants Bell Plague and Turek Bloodeye explain:
"Rest in place for 30 minutes, and after this plague is diluted, enter the underwater battlefield... Collect the corpses of these bastards!"
————————————————————————
On the other side, in a valley on the edge of the Mount Hyjal battlefield, Illidan Stormrage, who had returned from Felwood Forest, wielded Fel Moonblades and was confronting a huge nightmare bear head-on, while the weak Moon Priest Tyrande stood in the later area, holding a white feather war bow, and continuously shot out guiding arrows one by one to contain the furious and unparalleled war bear.
To be precise, this battle is an internal matter of the Stormrage family. Facing Malfurion Stormrage corrupted by the nightmare, whether it is his wife Tyrande Whisperwind or his younger brother Illidan Stormrage , both of them couldn't really be ruthless in the battle between relatives. Both of them knew that Malfurion was controlled by the nightmare, but the problem was that they couldn't effectively wake him up.
This is the cruel revenge of the resentful Queen Azshara on the Stormrage family. No matter who dies among the three, it will cause an eternal spiritual nightmare for the remaining two. This seems like an unsolvable situation, but it is good Now, Illidan found a solution to the problem in his previous fateful "adventure"...
He and Tyrande fought and retreated before leading Malfurion to this remote valley, but the "savior" who had reached an agreement never appeared.
"boom"
The crystallized nightmare claws of Malfurion's transformed nightmare bear collided with Illidan's moonblade wrapped in fel energy, and the collision of the two forces caused dancing sparks to ignite the surrounding earth. The demon hunter flexibly used the force of the collision to turn his body in the air, and passed Malfurion's huge body in a forward flip. There were two cut marks with deep bone visible.
The red blood, entwined with scorching breath, sprayed out from the wound, and when it landed on the ground, it would form a dark red corrosion area... The body of the archdruid directly occupied by N'Zoth was full of strange things Nightmare energy, he is like a ticking time bomb at this time, as time goes by, the violent temperament entangled in Malfurion's body becomes more and more manic, Illidan and Tyrande both know that if this continues, Malfurion Al is likely to "explode" to death in the nightmare riot, but they don't know how long the archdruid can support.
"whoosh"
The arrow entwined with the power of moonlight shot from a high place, nailing the front paw of Malfurion who was trying to turn and chase on the ground, causing the Nightmare War Bear to let out a terrifying but meaningless roar, and Tyran De's anxious cry also came at this moment:
"Illidan, where is the "purifier" you mentioned?"
"Look at your brother, he can't hold on any longer!"
Facing Tyrande's anxious call, Illidan in human form just waved the moonblade silently, restraining the berserk Malfurion in place, and he turned his head from time to time to "look" to the other side of the valley, where the The soul of Arceus, the deer, lay there and dozed off bored. The existence of this thing gave the demon hunter the confidence to continue.
"Hold on! Tyrande...the Beacon is still there, she will be here soon!"
As soon as Illidan finished speaking, a vigorous voice came from the other side of the valley:
"Yo! Dr. Yuna is here! Where is the patient?"
This sudden call made Tyrande, who drew her war bow, turn her head, and then she saw the spirit body of the little girl shining with holy light that fell from the sky and landed on the back of the soul herding deer with perfect precision.
"This... is this the purifier you said?"
The Priestess of the Moon became dazed at this moment. The little draenei girl riding a deer in front of her was indeed cute, but no matter how she looked at it, she couldn't even get the word "powerful".
But Illidan was very confident in her. The moment Yuna appeared, Illidan's arms holding the moonblade spread out, and the terrifying evil energy gushing from the inside out wrapped around the demon hunter's body at this moment. His body was pulled up quickly, and his whole body turned into a flaming demon in an instant.
The demonized Illidan roared and threw two shining moon blades. The Warglaives of Azzinoth were inserted on both sides of Malfurion, one left and one right, and the magic thread full of fel energy suppressed the nightmare bear. On the spot, Illidan strode forward, pressing his hands on the body of the war bear, and firmly suppressed the berserk, irrational monster on the spot.
"Very good! Press it! Don't let it move!"
Yuna rushed to Malfurion on Arceus. The little ghost rubbed his hands and said to Illidan in the terrifying demon form:
"Is this your brother, blind man? He's ugly!"
"Stop talking nonsense...heal him quickly!"
Illidan didn't want to quarrel with the little ghost at this time. He struggled to suppress Malfurion, who was struggling more and more violently, while Yuna jumped up and jumped behind Malfurion lightly. She stretched out her hands, as if Just like saving Illidan back then, the spirit body's hands sank into Malfurion's bear-like body, grabbed something, and pulled it out with difficulty, like pulling a carrot.
It was a vine root composed of dark red nightmare energy, which was more terrifying than the nightmare energy in Illidan's body at that time.
"It's different!"
The little ghost balled up the nightmare energy in her hand and threw it into the open dead world. She grabbed her hair and said to Illidan:
"The nightmare in your brother's body is different. It is harder to grasp than the one in your body... It is distributed in every corner of your brother's body. I can't eradicate it. There is probably only Tyrion in this world. can do!"
"this..."
Illidan frowned at the little ghost's blunt words, but he couldn't blame Yuna. At this time, Tyrande, who walked quickly to her husband, said to Yuna:
"Then can you wake him up? At least let him wake up. The Moonwell also has a suppressive effect on nightmares. As long as he can wake up, we will have time to slowly recuperate and let him recover."
"Just sober?"
Yuna shrugged, tilted her head and looked at Tyrande beside her:
"Of course it's okay. This big bear's soul has been struggling. He's not desperate, so as long as those big pieces of nightmare are removed, he can wake up. Speaking of which, this ugly bear is really your husband." Is it? Beautiful young lady."
The childish question of the little ghost caused a trace of embarrassment to appear on Tyrande's face. Like Illidan, she didn't know how to answer this question, so she chose to remain silent.
This made Yuna, who likes to be lively, very dissatisfied, but a deal is a deal. She has already received Illidan's "reward", and she must do what she promised. On Malfurion's body, which became more and more violent, she took out a piece of candy from the flower pocket and threw it into her mouth, biting the hard candy with a rattling sound, "fishing" with both hands in Malfurion's body It also became more violent.
The child seemed to be caught in a cheerful rhythm of "pulling carrots", his hands were shaking constantly, and clusters of shocking dark red energy were pulled out from Malfurion's body, accompanied by the power of nightmare in his body. Dissipating quickly, the Archdruid slowly recovered from his wild and dazed state at the beginning.
He returned from the form of the nightmare bear to the human form, his thin and scarred face was full of pain, under this frozen appearance, his soul was fighting against the corrupted power that was entangled in the soul.
"There's only one piece left!"
Yuna made a gesture of wiping sweat, she raised her head, and showed a strange smile to Illidan and Tyrande who had recovered their human forms:
"This last one will hurt more... You'd better hold him down!"
After finishing speaking, Yuna's hands "stabbed" fiercely into Malfurion's heart. She licked her tongue and grabbed the last nightmare crystal, which grew directly in Malfurion's heart. In it, it looks like it grew together with the archdruid's flesh and blood.
And just when Yuna touched the crystal, a malicious voice sounded in Yuna's ear:
"You! I see you!"
Yuna was startled by this, but the bad-tempered little girl quickly realized that she barked her teeth and clawed and scolded:
"It's you ugly big octopus again! I want Tyrion to catch you and throw you into the cave to be with Ke'suen! You won't be given food! You're whipped every day! Ugly, dare to scare Master Yuna !go to hell!"
"crash"
During the eruption of the little ghost, the entire nightmare crystal was directly torn from Malfurion's heart. Because of the excessive force, Yuna lost her balance and fell to the ground in disgrace while holding the nightmare crystal. He fell to the ground, and Malfurion opened his eyes suddenly because of the severe pain.
"Ahhhh!"
He was struggling violently like a dehydrated fish, and every muscle in his body was trembling crazily. Illidan and Tyrande pressed Malfurion's body from left to right, and then pressed him to the ground. On the ground, the High Priest of the Moon waved his hands and enveloped Malfurion's heart with a silver-shade-like light, quickly healing his bleeding wound, while the Archdruid was panting heavily. Drenched in cold sweat, he struggled in Illidan's arms, like a poor man waking up from a nightmare.
"What have I done...what have I done..."
The archdruid stared blankly at the night sky full of gunpowder smoke and gloomy clouds, without a trace of starlight, just like his mind shrouded in darkness at this time...
"It's nothing, my Malfurion, it's over, it's all over."
Tyrande looked at her beloved with pity. She stroked the horrific scars on Malfurion's face. She couldn't imagine what kind of life this poor man lived during these days, and Yili Dan stood silently on the side, watching his brother and sister-in-law talking, at this moment, he seemed very lonely.
"Yo, I'm done with what I promised you! I'm going home!"
Little Yuna, who was riding behind Arceus, was holding the shiny nightmare crystal. She was beside Illidan, waving goodbye to the blind night elf, and Illidan also showed a rare jerky smile to the little ghost.
And at the moment Yuna left, the little ghost's eyes were suddenly attracted by the black smoke rising into the sky from a distance. She pointed in the direction of the World Tree, and said to the other three people in a child's curious tone:
"Hey...look at that place, it's on fire!"
