Chapter 841 40. Bloody Battle on the Beaulieu Spine
The continent of Pandaria is a magical place. The most prosperous civilization here, that is, the chubby and cute pandaren are different from other civilizations in Azeroth in many traditions, but between the pandaren civilization and the legacy It is not surprising that this kind of cultural difference has been caused by the independent posture of the world for nearly 10,000 years.
The pandaren civilization is very special, not only because they have a unique and loose civilization system on the outside, but also because there are many things that outsiders can't understand on this continent of pandaren, such as the place in Pandari The Valley of the Four Winds in the center of the sub-center, the super-large farms covering tens of thousands of acres in this flat plain area, the square ten thousand acres of fertile fields juxtaposed together, and the unimaginably fertile soil here.
It is said that the Valley of the Four Winds was blessed by the ancient gods. The flowing water here has magical powers, which can make the food in the irrigated fertile fields reach a terrifying level of once a day. Therefore, Pandaria is probably the only absolute land in Azeroth. There can be no famine in the land, and the climate here is suitable for the growth of most plants in the world. Therefore, the panda people have completely got rid of the most terrifying famine for a civilization thousands of years ago.
Even since then, they have had a tradition of brewing wine, because there is so much food that they can't finish it... This is a fact that is enough to make any other civilization in Azeroth shed tears.
In the thousands of years of development, the wine culture of the pandaren civilization has reached an unimaginable level. As far as we know, there are as many as 175 kinds of fine wine brewed by the pandaren. The numbers come down, and more importantly, the wine brewed by the panda people is not just a simple drink... Many of the wines have very special functions.
Wine, for the Pandaren, is not so much an enjoyment, but a special "alchemy product".
Of course, the magic and uniqueness of Pandaren and Pandaria are not in these two aspects, even the war mode on this land is different.
Every hundred years, the terrifying mantid on the other side of the Great Wall of Serpent's Spine will launch an attack on Serious Dragon's Spine, and every hundred years, an explosion will erupt on the ancient city wall of Serious Dragon's Spine. A shocking bloody battle.
At this time, the news of the arrival of the mantid vanguard army has been sent to the leaders of various pandaren cities through the Shado-Pan, and the mass evacuation of the people covering the entire Pandaria continent once every hundred years is about to begin. Open the curtain.
"crash"
A mantid sergeant who descended from the sky let out a sharp neighing, just like a terrifying big bug. It brandished the amber saber in its hand, and smashed into the Serpentine's spine wall that was frantically counterattacking in a surprise gesture.
"ah"
A pandaren monk responsible for transporting ammunition was caught off guard by the vicious mantid, and his armor was sliced open, and then his flesh and blood were grabbed by the sharp hind legs, and he was taken into the sky while screaming.
This scene made Major General Taylor, who was slashing the mantid soldiers to death with a knife, widened his eyes. This brave human warrior who had completely killed his blood roared, stood up from the ground with a heavy amber spear, and let out a roar. Afterwards, Taylor threw the sharp spear into the sky, piercing through the mantid's limbs, and the severely wounded monster fell staggeringly, and the monk caught by it also endured the pain in the air and hit him Fiercely furious.
During the burst of true energy, half of the badly injured mantid sergeant was torn apart, and the wounded monk also fell on the city wall, and was soon dragged into it by the Mistwalkers who were in charge of healing. Inside the tower.
But saving one person can't alleviate the flames of war that were lit everywhere on Serpent's Spine. The panda people have summed up a set of extremely efficient communication methods in the tens of thousands of years of fighting against the mantid. After the section of the city wall guarded by Rhett, Taylor, and Valentine was attacked, the tall beacon tower immediately lit a flame, and the wolf smoke placed inside was ignited, and the smoke column that went straight into the sky was seen by the entire Valley of the Four Winds residents. get.
And 40 minutes after the battle started, the guardian monks from the White Tiger Temple and the supporters of the Shado-Pan Sect had already arrived on this section of the city wall.
However, facing the overwhelming force of the mantid, no amount of monks and backup seems to be enough...
"Good guy, this number is too exaggerated..."
Tandred touched the blood and sweat on his face. He was holding a strange firearm made by the Panda people. This thing looked similar to the old-fashioned muskets from the outside world, but it was more powerful than the old-fashioned muskets. There are too many, just like the large-caliber shotgun developed by the Federation, it is slow to fill, but powerful.
"boom"
Valentine standing next to Tanred had a gloomy face. His bloodline gave him a very powerful dynamic vision. As long as those mantid officers with strong threats approached the city wall, Valentine would use this ancient firearm Carry out precise strikes, but no matter how many he kills, the number of mantid covering the entire airspace in front of him seems to be increasing at all.
Just as Tenred said with emotion, it is difficult to see the sunset in the sky in front of him, and the sound made by the waves of mantid flying over is like some kind of terrifying aircraft, which can be heard for a long time It even makes people's ears produce some kind of weird phantom sound. Looking out from this section of the Great Wall, the walls between every section of the Beaulieu Spine are illuminated by the raging fire like daytime. The ignited arrows pierced the air non-stop, and hundreds of mantid were shot every second.
The odd-shaped artillery invented by the panda people during the closed time is placed on the city tower. This kind of gadget, which the panda people call "tiger squat cannon", looks very poor in tonnage and firepower, but equipped with pandas After the people's secret flowering bombs, every time they are fired, clusters of terrifying blood will explode in the mantid group in the sky.
It was precisely because of the help of thousands of tiger squat cannons on the city wall that the mantid could not cross the sky at the Serpent's Spine, but looking back, those sporadic bugs that crossed the city wall had already begun to kill the pandas behind the city wall. Burned, killed and looted people in villages.
"Damn it, this reminds me of the battlefields of Silithus."
Major General Taylor rushed out of the nearby tower carrying a small tiger squat gun, and two pandaren monks followed behind this brave "prisoner" carrying baskets of flowering ammunition. The performance of the outsider who was sent to the Serpent's Spine a few days ago in this battle against the mantid really opened the panda people's eyes.
These outlanders were rough and domineering, but they were even more useful on the battlefield than the Pandaren recruits.
This is natural, whether it is the sailors of the Armada Fleet or the Black Ark Fleet, they are the best sergeants of the two camps of the Empire and the Federation. Even if they are thrown into a strange land, the bravery flowing in their veins It has not been weakened by this, and killing may be stressful for some kind soldiers, but killing this kind of bug that is not a good thing at a glance...no one has much pressure.
"These mantid attack in exactly the same way as those qiraji!"
Major General Taylor put the heavy tiger squat gun on a special gun mount, and said to Tenred and Valentine who were guarding him:
"They are smarter because they have an air force, but that's not a problem. Seriously, if there are 2,000 steam guns on the city wall, I can guarantee that not a single bug will come over... The Battle of Quicksand has proved one thing!"
Taylor raised his head and showed a cold smile towards the two generals in front of him. The old navy, who had participated in the Battle of Quicksand on behalf of the empire, stood up eeriely, and stretched out the torch in his hand to the gunpowder fuse behind the tiger squatting gun. During the rattling of the leads, Taylor's voice became hoarse:
"No matter how fast bugs multiply, it can't compare to the speed at which thermal weapons kill them..."
"boom"
The tiger crouching cannon that was fixed on the ground of the city wall, the barrel of which was cast into the head of a dragon spewed out a scorching spark, and the heavy cannon roared into the sky in front of it. The demon was caught off guard and collided head-on with this high-speed cannon. The next moment, the dazzling fireworks exploded in the air, killing more than 30 vicious mantid at once.
Major General Taylor, holding a torch, snorted triumphantly. He was the general with the best artillery skills in the entire Armada.
"This shot is really accurate!"
A low voice of admiration came from behind the crowd. Turning around, Tenred saw an old pandaren wearing exquisite armor and an iron helmet standing behind them. The pandaren held a bow in his hand and carried a silver War halberd, with a satisfied look in his eyes.
This looks like a big shot.
"Well, although you outsiders are rude, you are excellent soldiers. At least among the pandaren, there is a lack of brave and violent soldiers like you."
The old panda man stroked his beard, took a wine gourd from his belt, and threw it to Taylor:
"For the sake of helping us fight the mantid, I'll buy you a drink."
"drink wine?"
Taylor unscrewed the wine gourd, looked at the old pandaren general in surprise, and said in a low voice:
"Drinking on the battlefield? You're not kidding, are you?"
"Drink, this is no ordinary wine."
The old pandaren snorted, then turned around and walked towards another line of defense:
"You can call me Lao Yang, if you can survive this battle, then you will be free... I wish you good luck."
Watching Lao Yang leave, the three strangers looked at each other, Taylor shrugged, put the wine gourd to his mouth, and said in a low voice:
"These pandaren's culture is really weird... Sigh, this wine..."
Taylor hadn't finished speaking, the strong wine that he drank in his mouth flowed down his throat and into his stomach like a red-hot knife. The spicy feeling was terrible, but the next moment, it was like a flame burning Taylor's abdomen was on fire, and his body, which was a little tired from the bloody battle, stretched out suddenly at this moment. He couldn't help but gritted his teeth and let out a breath, and then handed the wine gourd to Tenred with full of energy:
"Drink! This wine is awesome... like those mage potions..."
After speaking, Taylor, who felt that his whole body was exhausted, roared and reset the tiger squatting cannon again. A moment later, another precise shell repelled the mantid who charged again.
"Sailors of the Armada! Kill these bugs!"
After drinking the same wine, Tenred, who entered a state of bravery and rage, roared and stood on the city wall, frantically waving the two heavy halberds in his hands, as if standing there in a posture of one against ten, and will start all over again. The mantid hacked to death one after another. Under his leadership, the sailors of the Armada on this section of the city wall also launched a ruthless attack. They even launched a wave of small counterattacks, killing those mantid death squads that had rushed up the city wall. Called back again.
On the other side, the blood general Valentin, who also drank alcohol and entered a berserk state, turned into a blood prototype under the surprised gazes of the pandaren monks. He flapped his wide blood wings and took the posture of a bloodthirsty bat. Dash around in the air like the most vicious predator, hunting down the mantid officers in command one by one.
The wine given to them by the Pandaren named Lao Yang was miraculous. Whether it was exhaustion or fear, as long as one sip of the wine was poured, even cowards would be able to raise endless fighting spirit.
But although the monks and guards guarding the Serpent's Spine fought unrelentingly, the scale of this bloody battle still grew larger and larger with the passage of time and the gathering of the mantid who feared the wasteland. The Shado-Pan scouts reported yet another dire news.
The mantid's ground troops have also appeared on the battlefield in front of Serpent's Spine, that is to say, soon, the pandaren will not only have to face the madly attacking mantid in the sky, but also start to face the mantid on the ground. To the legion of mantid who came with the siege bugs.
But it's not without good news...
"Aw! Aw!"
Just as the mantid's ground army entered the sight of the city wall guards, accompanied by deep dragon chants, in the sky behind the Serpent's Spine, giant beasts roaming the sky like giant snakes also carried brave beasts. The pandaren sky knights appeared on the battlefield of this bloody battle.
Amidst the cheers of the panda people, those terrifying flying dragons roared and charged into the sky occupied by the mantid. They either spewed out flames, or spewed out lightning, or rolled up strong winds flying all over the sky. In just ten minutes, the mantid The demon's formation in the air was completely broken up, and the airspace battlefield once occupied by Beaulieu's Spine returned to the hands of the panda people.
"That's the Cloud Serpent Knights!"
The monk who had been fighting with the three of Tanred on the city wall saw the surprised eyes of the three strangers, so he explained kindly:
"That is the most powerful air fighter of our pandaren. In the past thousands of years, we have been able to hold the Serpent's spine and defeat the mantid thanks to this powerful air force... This is also our last legion .”
"That is to say, there are no troops behind you?"
Tandred narrowed his eyes, he and Taylor looked at each other, and both saw the worry in each other's eyes.
These pandaren are still stuck in the past thinking. At that time, their only enemy was the mantid, and as long as they held the front line, they didn't need to worry about anything else.
But now, the fog of the sea has been opened, and their rear is also facing some threats. However, these pandaren don't seem to notice... All the forces are gathered on the frontline battlefield. Once something happens to the rear...these Panda people, it is estimated that some will suffer.
