23. Overture to the counteroffensive

The shores of Lake Blackwood used to be a paradise for fishmen, and during the time when Dick was the sheriff of Talonshire, the most he dealt with every day was the conflict between the local residents and the fishmen. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

But now it's different.

In the past few years, when the war in the West Dalongmir region was tense, Princess Kaliya decisively evacuated the residents of East Dalongmir to the Hillsbrad Hills and the Arathi Heights, turning this place into a buffer zone for war.

In fact, there were still fish-people in Blackwood Lake at that time, but after the undead scourge invaded East Dalongmir, the fish-people here were completely extinct.

The spells of the undead have completely polluted this once-sparkling freshwater lake, and no living thing can survive here, not even the fishmen.

Now, on the shores of the dead silence of Lake Blackwood, Thassarian, who had followed Herold to this remote area, saw the figures standing in a small camp discussing things.

The expressionless Dalyan, the equally expressionless Bridget, and the presiding officer of the Chapel of Light's Wish, Lord Tyrosus, and the other paladin commanders, looked like a big scene, but they just didn't know why they were holding this meeting here in Lake Blackwood.

"Hey, Herod, what are you calling us here for?"

Amrash Varofest, the commander who was originally stationed at the Coldwind Camp, the young man patted Herrod on the shoulder, then looked at the Death Knight who was following him, and asked a little uncomfortably,

"It's best not to joke, because the war is so urgent and everyone is under a lot of pressure. ”

"We never joke. ”

Herold tossed Amrash a bag of dwarven tobacco, and the two smokers hid and said something, while Thassarian stood ten paces away from the crowd, looking like an unsociable fellow.

A few minutes later, just as the lords of Tyrosus were looking impatient, Dalyan took a dwarven pocket watch from his bosom, checked the time, and looked to the south of Lake Blackwood.

"They're coming!"

"What?"

Colfax, the leader of the warrior unit of the Chapel of Light's Wish, raised his head suspiciously and looked at the south, he didn't see anything, this guy has been instigating a Brotherhood of Light since he returned from the defense line of the Hillsbrad Hills 2 years ago, and pulled a lot of hot-blooded young people into it, which is a small group within the Silver Hand.

He had a good conversation with Dalyan because he was also a warrior, and after seeing nothing, he was about to ask, but was stopped by Duke Nicholas Sørenhoff, a nobleman from the Kingdom of Stormwind, who was like an elegant gentleman, but in fact he was not a warrior, but a strategist and commander of the Silver Hand, and a respected linguist.

He put his finger to his mouth,

"Shhh

Everyone didn't know why, Thassarian was the first to let out a sigh of surprise, and a hint of surprise flashed in his emotionless eyes, and then everyone saw the ripples of the Black Wood Lake in front of them and the slight shaking of the ground.

"Something's coming!

Lord Tairosos said in a deep voice, and then held the heavy sword behind his back with his backhand, and the thick holy light lit up at this moment, and most of the people present were powerful paladins, which made Thassarian couldn't help but take two steps back, holding up the dark green anti-magic shield, and only then did he feel better.

But the next moment, everyone's expressions froze on their faces, and only Duke Nicholas, who had participated in the Battle of Quicksand, exclaimed.

"It's Anubisas! The eldest princess has sent the Anubisas War Guards!"

The crowd ignored Duke Nicholas's shout, not because of lack of attention, of course, but because the 17 Anubisas, which were lined up in two rows and marched in order, were too eye-catching.

Especially at the front of the team, the obsidian giant with blue skin all over his body, wearing a pointed helmet, wearing special stone armor, and carrying a long sword and war hammer made of iron and steel on his back, like a god giant out of mythology.

They straddled over the ground, tall trees that could only reach their waists, lifted their feet in unison, and then fell, causing the ground to shake slightly with each alternation.

The people present were all very eye-catching, and they could see at a glance Gianna standing on the shoulders of the blue wolf-headed giant, wearing a blue robe, wearing a black mage hat, and the old haired old general Gathiris on the other side of Osirian's neck, the frenzied wind blew the old man's most stubborn white hair, and he waved to the people on the shore of the Black Wood Lake with his cane.

Behind the blue giants, each black giant had mages in robes on their shoulders, their cuffs and the Lordaeron emblem on their chests shining brightly in everyone's eyes.

It's Theramore's reinforcements!

That's right, the appearance of these two iconic characters means that the counterattack of the undead has finally completely angered the leaders of Theramore, whether it is the eldest princess of Kalia, or the now rather delicate Earl of the North, Dick Don, they have already made up their minds to solve the problems of the northern frontier once and for all.

Under the command of Osirian, the obsidian wolf-headed giants folded their hands and held their weapons in front of them like statues, and as the light in their eyes dimmed, the seventeen Anubisas entered the stage of "standby".

The Obsidian Giant's energy is not infinite, at first they relied on the Titan energy to move, but after the mages of Theramore tried various methods, they found that magic can actually be transformed into the Obsidian Giant's energy source, and even the Holy Light can be transformed in a critical moment.

But just the energy to maintain the obsidian giant's activity for ten minutes is enough to drain all the magic power of the three low-level mages, and the Anubisas only exist as a force at the bottom of the box in Theramore, and most of the time, they are on standby, and the colossus at this time is a real sculpture.

"These giants move slowly, and they must suffer a lot when facing high-level samurai!"

Following the Duke of Tyrossos and the Duke of Nicholas, everyone walked quickly to the commander of Theramore, who was waiting on the other side of Lake Blackwood, and the young warrior Colfax looked at the colossus with some unconvinced that he had to look up to see it, and said to Dalyan, who was walking beside him,

"I bet if I try hard, you and I can kill each other!"

Dalyan shook his head,

"It's not that simple, Anubisas is said to be self-healing, besides, it's obsidian! Your weapon won't even be able to break through its defenses, and General Gathiris will only send these colossias to the high-level battlefields unless he is crazy, they are the absolute arbiters of mortal warfare!"

Thassarian, who hadn't even said a word, couldn't help but speak, his voice was very penetrating, but it hit the nail on the head.

"As long as we can stop the high-level warriors of the undead, just the powerful force of these seventeen colossas, it is not a problem to recapture the crusader fortress at all, and even as long as they are willing to pay a certain amount of casualties, it is not a problem to conquer Andorhar, they even only need to step on it with their feet, even if they are ordinary death knights, they can only end up in pieces. ”

Dalyan turned his head and looked at Thassarian with a strange expression,

"We?"

Only then did the Death Knight realize that he had lost his words, he closed his mouth and stopped talking, and his expression became cold again, but Dalyan's expression became playful, and he moved closer to Thassarian,

"At first, the Grand Knight of Order told me that high-ranking undead like Mr. Uther were completely self-aware, and I didn't believe it, but now I do! Captain Thassarian, it's a pleasure to work together, maybe we'll be friends when this battle is over!"

The Death Knight didn't answer, but when Dalyan turned around, Thassarian's lips moved slightly, and only the two of them could hear the voice rang out.

"So... Happy working together!"

"Gasseris, you old dog, I thought you died in Sabethel!"

The lord of Tyrosos, who was over fifty years old, and Marshal Gasseris were obviously close friends, and the two old men laughed and hugged each other, and Marshal Gaserys smashed Tyrosos's chest with his fist, and said loudly,

"Thanks to the eldest princess, I have crawled back from hell again! this time with the will of the eldest princess and the royal family of Minethir, this land has been far away from Lordaeron for too long, it's time to take it back!"

After speaking, the old marshal with a black blindfold glanced at the dirty Kuroki Lake with his only remaining eyes, and scolded viciously,

"Damn, this is where I was born, look at what those goddamn undead have done to this place!"

Duke Nicholas also stepped forward and hugged Marshal Gasiris, and he patted the old marshal on the shoulder,

"Big brother, thank you for bringing these war colossias at this critical moment, with them, our chances of victory are greatly increased!"

"No, no, no!"

A mysterious smile appeared on Gasseris's face, "Brother Nicholas, do you really think that this is all the reinforcements sent by the eldest princess? The eldest princess has managed Theramore very well, behind us, there are nearly 10,000 soldiers who are landing in Nanhai Town, they will come soon, His Majesty Dai Lin has also supported a legion, and the forces at the bottom of the box from Dick's kid, we are all here!

"Knight Dick will be coming too?"

Tairossos' eyes lit up suddenly, and his fists and palms clashed together, "That's great, the morale of the knights has been low since Mograine's injury, and it couldn't be better if the Flame of Justice returns to the North at this time!

Gianna walked over from not far away, a strange obsidian destroyer followed her inch by inch, with a face with a cheetah mask, looking curiously at the guys around her, Gianna just heard the words of Lord Tyrosos, the mage lady stroked her long golden hair back, and said with a smile,

"Dick is busy with his own business, he will probably arrive in the northern frontier in 3 days, and Luo Ning, Dalaran has also decided to send a mage army to participate in the recovery of the northern frontier, in short, we are here for victory, Mr. Lord, in fact, if it were not for Dick's dissuasion, the eldest princess would even come to the northern frontier in person to show her determination to rebuild Lordaeron. ”

Hearing Gianna's words, Tyrosos smiled bitterly and spread his hands, "Fortunately, Your Highness didn't come, this place is a mess now, let's wait until our soldiers calm down the chaos here, and then invite Your Highness to return to Northern Xinjiang." ”

While the venerable crowd spoke, the young commanders scattered and watched curiously at the obsidian giants that stood in place like statues, and just as Colfax and Dalyan circled the supreme Osirian twice, a massive portal stood under the control of the mages who accompanied them.

This attracted the attention of the two warriors, the first to step out of the portal was Liadeline, the High Elf still looked cold, carrying the red sword of the Brotherhood, and the green dragon summon hanging from her waist, seeing her appear, Dalyan immediately stood up straight, although the eight Knights of Silver Dawn had equal status, but in fact, the strongest strength, only one line lower than Dick, the High Elf Paladin, was already a well-deserved number two of Silver Dawn.

The old knight Erigor, who is now increasingly moving into the role of battlefield commander, is the number three.

Liadline nodded to Dalyan and strode in Gianna's direction, and behind her appeared a strange stone statue about the same height as Dalyan, attracting the attention of everyone around her for the first time.

It was obviously a stone statue made of stone, dressed in black robes and carrying a war hammer, but there was a vivid expression on his face, and when he saw Dalyan and Colfax, who were closest to the portal, the black giant's face showed obvious disdain.

"Cut... Weak flesh and blood creatures, put away your disrespectful gaze, and standing before you are noble guardians, you weak..."

"That's enough, Azadas, there must be a limit to your tantrums, don't forget what we're here for!"

Another high-pitched voice sounded behind the black statue, it was another female statue wearing a golden robe and holding a stone cane, her attitude seemed to be very kind and strong, the male statue closed its mouth, snorted coldly, and stood in front of Osrian, the leader of Anubisas.

"Wow, lo and behold, this should be the Guardian... Osirian, I still remember him! I sculpted the body for him in the first place!"

The female statue ignored the male statue's voice, she looked at Colfax and Dalyan who were frozen in place, and after a few seconds, she also let out a cold snort, and with a push of her left hand forward, the two warriors were pushed far away by the moving dirt.

"Come and help, Azadas, get the Earth Spirit Legion in place, and your rags, we're going to battle!"

("Old dog" is not an insulting word in medieval civilization, it is generally used to describe loyal people, in a certain scene battle of MOP, King Wa also used "old dog" to praise a general of Stormwind, and the same goes for film and television works such as "Pirates of the Caribbean"!)
