Chapter 99 Battle for the Saldo Bridge

The Sardor Bridge was built by the dwarves of Ironforge to connect the Wildhammer dwarves who migrated to the Hinterlands.

This bridge is extremely strong. Although it was destroyed once, the dwarves of Ironforge rebuilt the Sardor Bridge not long ago to ensure the commercial exchanges between the Kingdom of Stormgard and the Kingdom of Khaz Modan.

After being repaired by Ironforge, the Sardor Bridge became more solid and basically difficult to destroy.

Soon, thousands of soldiers and paladins of the Fordragon Legion rushed to the Sardor Bridge. The soldiers in the front even launched an attack on the Sardor Bridge defense forces of the Kingdom of Stormgard.

The people of Stormgard are tough, and even the defense forces have the strength of the regular army of the general kingdom, but this time, their enemies are stronger.

The archers and musketeers of the Sardor defense forces immediately launched an attack, and countless arrows and bullets flew towards the Fordragon Legion.

Facing arrows and bullets, the warriors and paladins at the front immediately raised their shields, and then charged forward with their shields at the same speed. After a round of volleys, almost no casualties were caused to the Fordragon Legion.

The elite level of the Fordragon Legion was far beyond their imagination. After the first round of volleys, they had already rushed to the middle of the Sardo Bridge.

The second volley had some effect due to the shortened distance, but the casualties of the Fordragon Legion were minimal and almost negligible.

At the same time, the Fordragon Legion had already rushed to the Sardo Bridge defense force, and the Royal Warriors of the Fordragon Legion and the Paladins of North County launched a fierce attack.

Even if the Sardo Bridge defense force of the Kingdom of Stormgarde fought desperately, it could not change the reality of being constantly repelled. The Fordragon Legion was about to control the Sardo Bridge on the side of Arathi Highlands.

"Howitzers, shoot! Let these guys from the Alliance know how powerful Blackfuse is!" At this critical moment, the voice of the siege craftsman Blackfuse appeared. At the same time, behind the Sardo defense forces, the huge howitzer made of steel pushed by the Stonefist Ogre was aimed at the Sardo Bridge, and the goblin technician of the Blackfuse Company next to it ignited the gunpowder.

In an instant, a large number of shells were fired from the Blackfuse Company's howitzers, landing on the Sardo Bridge from the air, and then causing a huge explosion.

The loud rumbling sound and the flames of the explosion instantly covered the landing point of the Sardo Bridge, and the wailing of the soldiers also appeared.

Grand Duke Bolvar Fortagan saw with his own eyes that his subordinates of the Fortagan Legion were instantly engulfed by artillery fire. The high-explosive grenades directly tore open the flesh of the soldiers, and the aftermath blew a large number of Fortagan Legion members off the Sardo Bridge and fell under the thousand-year-old cliff. Only a small number of North County Paladins activated the Holy Shield in time to save their lives, but they also fell to the ground with a face of defeat.

The artillery of the alliance mainly came from the dwarven Ironforge, but the dwarven artillery did not have such terrifying power. Before Grand Duke Bolvar Fordragon could react from the shock, the Blackfuse Company's howitzers continued to pour out artillery fire, and a large number of Fordragon Legion soldiers died.

In a very short period of time, thousands of Fordragon Legion soldiers were killed. The rebuilt Sardo Bridge could withstand the artillery fire of the Blackfuse Company's howitzers, but the soldiers of the Fordragon Legion could not. Grand Duke Bolvar Fordragon hurriedly issued an order to retreat.

In the end, only a few hundred of the thousands of elite Fordragon Legion soldiers who first rushed to the Sardo Bridge were safely withdrawn. The Sardo Bridge was full of charred marks from the bombing and Fordragon Legion soldiers who were bombed into disfigurement.

Siegecrafter Blackfuse saw that Grand Duke Bolvar Fordragon had directly issued an order to retreat, without any hesitation because of the upcoming occupation of the land on the Arathi Highlands side of the Sardor Bridge, and he could not help but feel a little pity.

However, Siegecrafter Blackfuse still gave orders to those Stonefist Ogres who could crush him to death with one foot, "You greedy fat guys, go and defeat those Alliances that are rushing over for me, and I will give you a snack when I go back."

"For a snack!" Upon hearing the snack, the morale of the Stonefist Ogres was instantly boosted, and they moved their huge elephant legs and rushed towards the Fordragon Legion soldiers who had rushed to the land on this side of the Arathi Highlands and did not have time to withdraw.

The terrifying physical fitness of the ogres is there, even the ninth-level strongmen dare not take a hard blow from the ogres. Adult ogres generally have a combat power of the sixth or seventh level.

And this group of Stonefist Ogres belonging to the Blackfist Company bodyguards are the elite of the Stonefist Ogres, with plate armor suits and huge blunt weapons.

The Fordragon Legion soldier who had just hit a defender of the Sardor Defense Force was instantly covered by the shadow. He instinctively swallowed his saliva, then raised his head and saw the huge figure more than three meters tall.

The Stonefist Ogre grinned, and then smashed the Fordragon Legion soldier with a hammer.

Facing the attack of the Stonefist Ogre, the Fordragon Legion soldier instinctively raised his left hand with the shield of the Alliance Lion to block.

The shield can effectively resist most attacks, but the blunt attack of pure power is not so easy to resist, unless they have Captain America's anti-physical shield in their hands.

With a thud, the shield in the hands of the Fordragon Legion soldier was directly chiseled and dented, and the huge force was transmitted to the Fordragon Legion soldier, knocking him to the ground.

After the Stonefist Ogre bodyguard troops joined, the Fordragon Legion soldiers who rushed to this side of Arathi Highlands were quickly killed.

Grand Duke Bolvar Fordragon, who was watching this scene, almost broke his teeth, but he could do nothing about it. The Fordragon Corps was marching fast for speed, so they did not bring large long-range weapons. Without artillery suppression, the Fordragon Corps wanted to attack the Sardor Bridge with the Blackfuse Company's howitzers, and would inevitably suffer huge casualties.

If they wanted to continue attacking the Sardor Bridge, they could only wait for the dwarf mechanized troops in Menethil Port to come with artillery and aircraft.

Grand Duke Bolvar Fordragon could only lead the Fordragon Corps to garrison and camp on the wetland side of the Sardor Bridge.

The setback of the Fordragon Corps, the strongest legion of the Alliance, and the terrifying power of the Blackfuse Company's howitzers were quickly publicized.

Since then, the Blackfuse Company and the siege craftsman Blackfuse have become famous in Azeroth.

Soon after, the reinforcements of the Kingdom of Stromgarde and the dwarf mechanized troops in Menethil Port also quickly arrived at the Sardor Bridge.

With the addition of reinforcements from the Kingdom of Stromgarde and the mechanized forces of the dwarves in Menethil Harbor, the truly fierce battle for the Sardor Bridge between the Covenant and the Alliance began.
