Chapter 911
The high-intensity shadow beam just shot directly into the orcs under the full eyes of the public. The shadow beam with a diameter of several meters contained a high-intensity shadow energy flow, and all the orcs directly covered by it were swallowed up in the energy flow on the spot. exhausted.
Even the earth could not support it, and a big hole was blown out under this blow.
Compared with the beam itself, the shadow energy spilled from being blocked by the ground caused much more damage to the orcs - the orcs within a radius of hundreds of meters were affected by the power of shadows.
Facing the power of shadow that destroys everything, the orcs who are just flesh and blood can't stop it. They can only watch their flesh gradually wither and die under the erosion of the power of shadow, and eventually become an ugly mummified corpse. .
This time alone, thousands of orcs, dozens of ogres, and a large number of siege machines were destroyed.
The closer you get to the beam, the faster this process takes place.
However, even that is not the ultimate lethality the Dark Star can inflict.
Because De'ori contains less energy than Kara, this shadow beam doesn't last as long as the Dark Star in Shadowmoon Valley.
But at least it's enough to hit the whole tribe.
The shadow beam lasted for five seconds, and the dark star suspended over Auchindoun finally dimmed.
But outside Shattrath, the final destruction has just begun.
The continuous emission of high-intensity shadow energy flow has formed an energy field containing a high concentration of shadow energy within a radius of tens of meters.
All of these shadow energies came from the remains of the second dark star, Narud Oli. Compared to the state of being a dark star, this shadow energy field is now completely unstable.
Just when the orcs thought that the attack was over, only the warlocks who were familiar with shadow energy discovered something was wrong.
The same thing happened at the Temple of Karabor.
The warlocks didn't have time to remind others that a huge explosion of shadow energy occurred at a high concentration.
This time, the scope of the explosion enveloped a radius of several kilometers.
Thousands of orcs were affected by this devastating explosion.
Only Kil'jaeden reacted a little, and even if he created a shield of fel energy, he could worthy of protecting the orc warlocks and the top of the tribe.
However, even he can only do this in a hurry.
As for ordinary orcs, as well as siege equipment, they suffered heavy losses under the huge explosion.
Around the core of the explosion, except for a huge crater, it was almost emptied by the explosion.
Only the shards on the ground, the charred pieces, and the blackened marks can indicate that something once existed here.
Farther from the blast, orc corpses were everywhere.
The corpses showed varying degrees of muscle wasting and contortion in addition to the lethal damage from the explosions—all as a result of the erosion of shadow energy.
Of course, there were many lucky people who survived the explosion, but they were not much luckier than the dead.
In addition to the force damage caused by the explosion, the terrifying shadow energy penetrated into their bodies, damaging them like gangrenous bones, devouring their vitality.
Unlike the draenei in the Temple of Karabor, the orcs don't have a large number of clerics, paladins, and other light bearers—and sorcerers aren't good at this kind of work.
That is to say, they can't disperse the shadow energy at all. Therefore, many of the injured who survived within the blast range will die painfully under the influence of shadow energy within a few days to several years. Others Also had to live in pain all year round.
As for the explosion site itself, because of the shadow energy, it will become a barren place unsuitable for survival for a long time. Any ordinary person who tries to enter here will be damaged by the residual shadow power.
It can be said that the effect of this "Dark Star" is basically like a small nuclear bomb in the magical world.
In the tribal army, the luckiest are those who are the bravest, the fastest rushing guys, and most of the warriors who are still behind.
In order to avoid affecting Shattrath, after calculating the influence range of the Dark Star in detail, Ye Ting deliberately chose coordinates slightly away from the city before launching, so as to avoid Shattrath from being affected by the explosion.
It also spared many Horde warriors who were sieging the city.
However, even so, the war could not go on.
Although this dark star is far inferior to the one in Shadowmoon Valley, the orcs are not protected by the Temple of Karabor like the draenei, and have superb magic and the power of holy light for defense. It can be said that they are because of the darkness. The Star's casualties far exceeded those of the draenei at the time.
It is conservatively estimated that at least 10,000 orc warriors were killed in the explosion, and countless injured.
And because of the attack on Shattrath, these casualties were basically the elite and main force of the major tribes.
Such casualties are a heavy blow to the newly established tribe.
In the face of such a situation, the tribe had to withdraw their troops and withdraw all the soldiers who were attacking Shattrath.
The originally precarious city of Shattrath was turned into a safe place, and the battle of Shattrath came to an abrupt end because of a dark star.
But the effect of this dark star is more than just superficial killing.
For the draenei and the orcs, its impact is more profound than anyone imagined.
Chapter 1105 Tribal civil unrest and draenei transformation
The dark star that fell from the sky not only caused huge casualties to the Horde, but also stagnated their offensive against Shattrath.
How proud the orcs were before they attacked Shattrath, and how embarrassed they are now.
But the damage to the Orcs from the Dark Star is not just the casualties themselves.
Tens of thousands of elite soldiers died on the spot, and more than 20,000 soldiers lost their combat effectiveness to varying degrees. Coupled with the casualties under Shattrath City, the orcs suffered nearly 50,000 casualties in this war.
You know, even if the orc race is spread across Draenor, the total population is only one million. No matter how the whole people are soldiers, most of the population of orcs are old and weak women and children or ordinary hard workers. About one-third of the population can fight, and even fewer can be called elites. Therefore, this anticlimactic It can be said that the siege warfare has indeed caused a major blow to the orcs.
But compared to the psychological blow, the direct physical loss is negligible.
Unlike the human kingdoms of Azeroth, the civilization of the orcs is even more backward. If the humans of Azeroth are in the age of feudal kingdoms, then the orcs are in the age of clans and slaves. And compared to farming civilization, it is closer to barbaric nomads.
As a result, the level of governance and organization of the orc tribe is far lower than that of humans and draenei, and the entire tribe is nothing more than a loose association.
Although the Great Chief Black Hand has laid the foundation for his rule through powerful force and is supported by the Shadow Council, such a rule still seems to be lacking in prestige.
You must know that in the past, the orc clans also organized tribes, but it was just a temporary organization organized to fight the common enemy of the orcs at that time, the ogre. After defeating the ogre, they returned to a scattered sand.
The purpose of Blackhand and Gul'dan was to truly establish the tribe's rule over all orcs.
By exaggerating the threat of the draenei, the benefits of conquering the draenei, and the victory over the draenei, coupled with the catalysis of the "Blood of the Fallen", the Horde finally organized a fight against Shattrath. total attack.
In the plans of Blackhand, Gul'dan and others, the Battle of Shattrath is equivalent to the first stop of the tribe's complete establishment. The victory of this battle can greatly increase the cohesion of the tribe, help increase the prestige of Blackhand, and will rule continue.
Unfortunately, this first battle just failed.
This defeat was a huge blow to the Black Hand and the Horde's prestige, and it also fueled the arrogance of the Horde's skeptics, led by Durotan, the chief of the Frostwolf clan.
The most terrifying thing is that in order to establish enough prestige in the war, in the process of attacking Shattrath, those who took the lead were basically the elites of the big clans that supported the establishment of the tribe. Now these elites have lost most of them, which is equal to the support of the tribes. Power was lost.
