Chapter 102 Strategic Shift

"Seventh Legion, for the glory of the Alliance, in the name of Holy Light, launch an attack!" Under the Wall of Thoradin, senior commander Halford Wyrmbane gave orders to the Seventh Legion.

The Wall of Thoradin had been repaired and its defense had been greatly improved, but the appearance of the Seventh Legion of the Alliance and the Dwarf Stormpike Legion was too sudden. The Stormgard defense forces guarding the Wall of Thoradin were attacked fiercely before they could react.

The Stormgard defense forces shot arrows down from the Wall of Thoradin, and the arrow towers and crossbow carts of the towers also continuously attacked the Seventh Legion and the Stormpike Legion below.

Facing the defensive attack of the defense forces of the Wall of Thoradin, the elite human warriors of the Seventh Legion raised their hard shields to resist the arrows.

The Seventh Legion was disciplined and well organized. They tacitly covered the dwarves of the Stormpike Legion and continuously moved bombs to the gate of the Wall of Thoradin to blow up the gate of the Wall of Thoradin.

As the elite legion of Ironforge, the Thunderpike Legion would not be attacked unilaterally. The elite dwarf musketeers took out long-range muskets and fired back at the defense forces on the Thoradin Wall.

Soon, dwarf aircraft also appeared. They flew over the Thoradin Wall and suppressed the defense forces on the Thoradin Wall with machine guns and bombs.

Not only that, the highly mechanized Thunderpike Legion also mastered the combat method of airdropping paratroopers, relying on dwarf parachutes to land dwarf warriors on the Thoradin Wall.

If it were not for the surprise attack, the Thunderpike Legion could even drive the engineering tanks jointly manufactured with the dwarves. If there were tanks, the speed of taking down the Thoradin Wall would be much faster.

Without the reinforcements of Durnholde Castle, the defense forces of the Thoradin Wall alone had no way to fight against the two elite legions of the Alliance. As the defenders, they were still suppressed.

Those dwarf gunners under the Thoradin Wall used dwarf mortars to attack the gates of the Thoradin Wall recklessly.

Fortunately, the gate of the Thoradin Wall has been replaced with a steel gate made entirely of steel, which is enough to withstand artillery fire in a short period of time.

At the same time, in Durnholde Castle, Grimm Thunder led the dwarf troops to surround it. The dwarf shield guards were in the front, and the dwarf musketeers stood in the back row and kept shooting to block the Stormgarde Kingdom troops in Durnholde Castle.

Commander Amaron has led his troops to break through the battle formation of the dwarf shield guards and musketeers several times, but all ended in failure.

The power of the dwarves allows them to easily use tower shields as high as themselves, plus a set of plate armor, and their defense can be imagined.

The dwarf musketeers are not as fast as archers in terms of shooting speed, but they have already mastered the three-row interchange shooting method to ensure the filling of ammunition and continuous shooting.

"Grimu Thunder, have you forgotten King Galin's help to you? If it weren't for King Galin, you dwarves would have died in the ruins of Dalaran because of the orders of Osmar Garithos." The angry commander Amaron began to scold Grimu Thunder.

Grimu Thunder felt very guilty after hearing this. He really owed Galin a life. Moreover, they fought side by side with the Kingdom of Stormgard a year ago, but now they turned against them. This made the honest dwarf full of guilt, but the order from Ironforge and his loyalty to the dwarf king forced him to continue to execute the order.

Just when the Wall of Thoradin was on the verge of death, the violet portal opened in the large towers on both sides, and the archmage Ansrem Ruinwevor led the human mages from Old Dalaran.

More than a thousand human mages walked out of the large towers on both sides, and the human mages who mastered magic quickly attacked the dwarves who parachuted into the Wall of Thoradin.

A heroic shout accompanied by the cry of griffins appeared from the sky. Falstad Wildhammer, the Grand Lord of Aerie Mountain, rode first, turning the Storm Hammer. "Children of Aerie Mountain, let us know who is the king of the sky. Their toys are vulnerable to the Griffin Knights."

Under the attack of the Storm Hammer, the aircraft of the Thunder Pike Legion kept falling from the sky. Unless they were two or three times larger, the aircraft troops of the Thunder Pike Legion could not defeat the Griffin Knights of the Wildhammer Dwarves.

After the air was safe, Archmage Ansrem Ruinwivor led the human mages to start drawing large-scale magic and attack the Seventh Legion and the Thunder Pike Legion under the Wall of Thoradin.

Firestorms and blizzards continued to appear, harvesting the lives of these elite legion warriors in large areas.

"They came to support so quickly. Did the intelligence leak when we first landed?" Halford Wyrmbane, the high-level commander who was originally confident of victory, was still unable to accept the change of the situation for a while.

After the Wildhammer Dwarf Griffin Knights and human mages joined, the attacks of the Seventh Legion and the Stormspear Legion were blocked, the original vitality suppression was gone, and casualties rose sharply.

As an excellent commander, you must keep a cool head in the event of an emergency and make the best choice decisively. High-level commander Halford Wyrmbane is an excellent commander.

With the support of the reinforcements, the plan of the Seventh Legion and the Stormpike Legion to cooperate in taking down the Wall of Thoradin and attacking the Arathi Highlands was no longer possible. However, retreating at this point had no strategic significance, so High Commander Halford Wyrmbane decided to abandon the plan to attack the Wall of Thoradin and turn westward to attack the land of Hillsbrad Foothills.

After High Commander Halford Wyrmbane made the decision, the Seventh Legion and the Stormpike Legion quickly withdrew from the attack on the Wall of Thoradin and turned westward to attack the core area of ​​Hillsbrad Foothills in an orderly manner.

Don't chase the desperate enemy, not to mention that without the defensive advantage, the Covenant could only watch the Seventh Legion and the Stormpike Legion quickly conquer the East Point Tower and now enter the core area of ​​the west of Hillsbrad Foothills.

After crossing the bridge and arriving in the west of Hillsbrad Foothills, High Commander Halford Wyrmbane decided to split the troops into two groups.

The Seventh Legion will attack Southshore. As long as they occupy Southshore, they can drive a nail into the core area of ​​the Covenant for the Alliance, and the Alliance's troops can be continuously transported to Hillsbrad Foothills by sea.

The Dwarf Stormpike Legion will attack the Alterac Mountains. The dwarves in Ironforge are more accustomed to ice and snow, and there is enough space in the Alterac Mountains to accommodate the Stormpike Legion. In this way, the Seventh Legion and the Stormpike Legion can directly occupy one-third of the land in Hillsbrad Foothills.
