Chapter 103 Battle for Nanhai Town

"Alliance, return to your land. Southshore belongs to the Kingdom of Lordaeron and the Covenant!"

On the wall of Southshore, the mayor of Southshore, Henni Mareb, shouted angrily to the Seventh Legion outside Southshore.

"Mayor Henni Mareb, I am Halford Wyrmbane, the senior commander of the Seventh Legion of the Alliance. The rebellious organization of the Covenant has taken in the undead who destroyed your homeland. Do you still want to help the evil? Return to the Alliance, King Varian Wrynn will definitely help you restore the Kingdom of Lordaeron." Senior Commander Halford Wyrmbane did not launch an attack immediately, because in his opinion, a Southshore town could not resist the attack of the Seventh Legion unless the Ashbringer Alexandros Mograine was here.

Instead of attacking Southshore and causing serious damage to Southshore, it is better to surrender directly, because in the next battle, it will serve as the front line of the Alliance, and the Lordaeron people in Southshore can provide supplies and reserve soldiers for the Alliance.

If it was before, Mayor Heni Mareb still had illusions about the Alliance and hated the undead, but now it is different.

When the Kingdom of Lordaeron was in the most difficult time, there was no trace of the Kingdom of Stormwind. At the coronation ceremony of King Garin, the Kingdom of Stormwind kept shirking. This made Mayor Heni Mareb very disappointed with the Kingdom of Stormwind, and the same is true for the Alliance now.

As for the undead, Mayor Heni Mareb also hated these evil existences that destroyed their homeland at the beginning, but later, the resurrected Archbishop Alonsus Faol formed a secret cult and actively traveled throughout the Covenant, just like promoting the Holy Light Sect at the beginning, but this time the purpose of the secret cult is to hope that the forgotten can coexist peacefully with the living.

Archbishop Alonsus Faol of the secret cult personally showed Mayor Heni Mareb that the undead can still use the Holy Light and have not been abandoned by the Holy Light.

This made Mayor Heni Mareb also firmly believe that the forgotten can also be redeemed.

The battle between the Alliance and the Covenant was ultimately for the sake of interests. The Alliance in the south of the Eastern Kingdom did not want the Covenant in the north of the Eastern Kingdom to gain a foothold, so it launched an attack while the Covenant had not yet developed.

Mayor Heni Mareb, who understood all this, said no more, but took out his bow and arrow, aiming at Halford Wyrmbane, the high-ranking commander of the Seventh Legion, and shot an arrow.

If it was the ranger lord of the Kingdom of Quel'Thalas, then this arrow might have taken the life of the high-ranking commander Halford Wyrmbane, but Mayor Heni Mareb's archery skills were not very superb, and the arrow was directly cut off by Halford Wyrmbane.

This arrow already represented the breakdown of the negotiations, so Halford Wyrmbane's face instantly became extremely cold, and he issued an order "Seventh Legion, take South Sea Town!"

The defeat of the Thoradin Wall did not hit the morale of the Seventh Legion. The current Seventh Legion is still as high-spirited as when it first landed.

Even the East Point Watchtower was quickly captured by them. How could an ordinary port town withstand their attack?

"Fire the artillery, Southsea Town will never fall!" Mayor Henri Mareb also issued a defense order.

As an important town that the Kingdom of Lordaeron attaches great importance to in order to completely rule Hillsbrad Foothills, Southsea Town has a large number of artillery.

In addition, in order to surround the safety of Southsea Town, Mayor Henri Mareb has been secretly doing artillery smuggling business with the Kingdom of Gilneas for these years.

The Kingdom of Gilneas is the kingdom that is best at using fire among the seven human kingdoms. Although the artillery of the Kingdom of Gilneas is not as good as the howitzer of the Blackfuse Company, it is not inferior to the dwarf artillery of Ironforge.

A large number of artillery are constantly firing, and Southsea Town has sufficient gunpowder and arrows.

Although Halford Wyrmbane was amazed that Southsea Town actually had so many artillery and resisted so tenaciously, he still believed that as long as the Seventh Legion could break through the gate of Southsea Town, they could win.

So, after paying more than 2,000 casualties, the soldiers of the Seventh Legion finally arrived at the gate of Nanhai Town and forcibly broke through the gate of Nanhai Town.

When the gate of Nanhai Town was broken, the soldiers of the Seventh Legion rushed in directly, but were instantly drowned by arrows.

Before the gate of Nanhai Town was about to be broken, Mayor Heni Marebu had already arranged archers behind the gate, just to instantly kill the Seventh Legion soldiers who broke through the gate of Nanhai Town.

"Block the fence!" The city gate was broken, and the Seventh Legion could not be allowed to break in at will. Mayor Heni Marebu ordered the guards of Nanhai Town to push up the wooden spiked fence they had made to block it, and then stand behind the wooden fence to continue attacking.

After the wooden fence blocked for a while, it was still pushed down by the Seventh Legion, and it was about to enter the street fighting. With the elite of the Seventh Legion, it was almost impossible to lose in close combat.

At first, after several thousand soldiers of the Seventh Legion entered the streets of Nanhai Town, there was no resistance. Just when they were confused, the harsh sound of bulls rang out.

"Moo!" Dozens of huge Arathi bulls rushed out of the streets wildly. Their tails were already ignited by flames. Under the pain, the docile domesticated Arathi bulls also turned red-eyed and burst into the greatest ferocity.

The soldiers of the Seventh Legion who re-entered the streets looked at the mad bulls rushing over in panic. Even though they were elite soldiers, they had never encountered such a situation. The houses beside the street were locked tightly, and they had no way to retreat.

With no way to retreat, they could only try to attack, but the results were minimal. The raging bulls pierced through the Seventh Legion soldiers who rushed in.

After the angry bulls were all killed, the soldiers of the Seventh Legion had been scattered, and those who were hit lay on the ground in pain.

Mayor Heni Mareb did not give them a chance to breathe. The archers hidden in the houses on the street opened the windows from the second floor, and then aimed at the scattered Seventh Legion soldiers on the street and started shooting.

If they were not scattered by the angry bulls, they might have effectively resisted. After being scattered, they would only be shot to death.

Halford Wymbane gritted his teeth in anger. How could he have thought that in a small Nanhai Town, his mayor Heni Mareb had such a talent and killed more than 5,000 soldiers of the Seventh Legion at a very small cost.

But then, even Mayor Heni Mareb could not stop the cathedral from starting street fighting.

"Nanhai Town is our home, and we will defend it with our own blood!" Mayor Heni Mareb led a force composed of Nanhai Town's defense forces and temporary militias to fight against the Seventh Legion led by Halford Wyrmbane for Nanhai Town.
