35. The roar of the lion and the battle flag
"The third line of defense is under heavy attack! Reinforcements are called! We have suffered heavy casualties!"
"The fifth line of defense has completely fallen, this is the commander of the fifth line of defense, Major Kent, I will hold the line of defense and fight to the death!"
"Ahem... Pestilence... The damned undead used the plague, and we... We can't retreat, we've activated the engineering bombs!For Lordaeron!For Queen Kalia!"
"Boom"
A loud bang came from the sound stone in Dalyan's hand, and then the stone turned gray, and the next moment, the stone turned into powder and slid from the warrior's fingers. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Dalyan's eyes were red, and his emotions had not eased since he returned to the front line of Angasa from the Shadow Dome 20 minutes ago to take over the battlefield command from the high-level combat forces that had broken through into the Icecrown Fortress in the third stage.
He is a veteran, starting from the Eastern Plague Land back then, to now, he has lived on the battlefield for nearly 5 years, in these 5 years, he has traveled from Mount Hyjal, to the Northern Frontier, from the Northern Frontier to Silisus, and finally to Northrend, he has shed more blood than other people of the same age, and has suffered more serious injuries than them, but even when he became a general in the Borean Tundra and New Hearth Valley in Northrend, leading an army to move under the nose of the undead, he has never been under such tremendous pressure.
That's not hundreds, not thousands, the command of the entire human alliance has been handed over to him, that's tens of thousands!
From the sound transmission stone, almost every minute there would be news that a defensive line was on the verge of collapse, in fact, Dalyan hardly had to listen to the bad news, he didn't have to listen, he just stood up, walked to the window of the temporary headquarters, and looked out, he would feel dizzy.
It's not that Dalyan hasn't seen the Sea of the Undead attacking, in fact, he personally participated in the first battle of the Angasa battlefield, but at that time, he was fighting on the front line of the battlefield with his brother as a mid-level commander, and now, as a commander, he desperately wanted to pick up the long sword, rush into the battlefield, and fight to the death with those damn undead, but he can't, there is no way to leave people here.
Every minute and every second, there was news from all parts of the battlefield, which was summarized to the headquarters, and the staff of 130 people was responsible for sorting out the information and sending the most urgent ones to Dalyan, and in just 20 minutes, he made 17 retreat orders, made 25 support orders, and received more than 30 final reports, after which all the communications of these 30 teams disappeared.
That's nearly 500 lives!
It's gone... The life of a small village is just gone.
"Commander! The First Line of Defense is under attack from the Abomination Legion! General Tyran calls for fire support!"
"Tyran!"
This name woke Dalyan instantly, and he took the sound transmission stone from the combat staff officer's hand, activated it, and shouted, "Tyran, are you okay?"
"This is Tyran Fording, ask for fire support! Or magic or something, whatever! Those damn guys are coming... Wait a minute... Dalyan, how could it be you?
"Father, they've stormed the Icecrown fortress, go finish off that scum of Arthas! Hold on, Tyran, I'll mobilize the artillery positions at once!"
After saying that, Dalyan turned his head to look at the combat staff officer, like an angry bull,
"Do you hear that? Let the gnomes project their fire on the first line of defense!
The combat staff officer was also a veteran who had followed Dalyan on the expedition to Mount Hyjal, but at this moment, his expression was gloomy, "The dwarf artillery position... There are no more. ”
"What?
Dalyan's face turned pale at this moment, and then he heard the combat staff officer reply in a low and quick voice, "Five minutes ago, a spider demon raided the ammunition depot of the artillery position, they set fire there, and now the entire position is..."
"Bastard!
Dalyan clenched his fists and scolded frantically, then grabbed the staff officer's shoulder, "Then let the mages! Let Dalaran shoot at the first line of defense, aren't they here to support us?"
"The mages are fully supporting the Black Blade Fronts above the Angasa, they are under attack by the most elite Viku necromancers, and the battle damage ratio is as high as 65%, they need support more than the first line of defense! ”
"And you mean, let me give up my brother?"
Dalyan snorted and drew the blade of rage, his eyes red on the neck of the combat staff officer, "Listen, I don't care what the black blade is, I order you now, give orders to the mages, I need them to help the first line of defense!"
The combat staff officer also raised his head, the veteran's eyes were also red, he clenched his fists, revealing the palm of his left hand with only three fingers left, and looked at Dalyan unwaveringly, "No! I won't do this, the Black Blade Knight is blocking the front of the entire Angasa, they are blocking the most terrifying legion, you are disrupting the entire battle line, this is chaos! I will not obey!"
"You don't listen to me! Damn, I'm the temporary commander! Go, give orders!"
Dalyan's arms began to tremble, as an elite warrior, he even felt a little out of control now, but from Tyran, his brother's life was in his hands, he couldn't just give up on him, but just when the contradiction was about to intensify, the sound transmission stone in his hand suddenly sounded Tyran's voice.
"Enough, Dalyan, don't embarrass Old Hawke, Old Hawke's son is by my side now, he's my lieutenant... He's worse than you, so be it..."
The next moment, Tyran's voice became firm again, "Commander, this is the headquarters of the first line of defense, we will hold out until the last moment, for Lordaeron!
Two seconds later, Tyran's last voice was heard, mixed with the soldier's charge and the laughter of disgust,
"Dalyan... Tell White for me that I won't have a chance to go to the convent with her again... Tell her that I love her. ”
"Buzz"
The sound stone was completely closed, Dalyan collapsed in his chair in despair, old Hawke, the combat staff officer also gritted his teeth and turned his head, an atmosphere of sadness and despair spread in the headquarters, he was about to lose his brother, another soldier was about to lose his son, but they could only stay here, there was nothing they could do.
"Huh"
The light of the portal lit up at this moment, and a resolute voice also sounded at this time,
"Why are our commanders so weak! frightened by the battlefield?"
With a sound of armor, a heavily armed Varian walked out of the portal, and Marshal Wendthor of Stormwind, the old marshal who had been badly wounded in the First Battle of Angasa, his face was pale and his arm was still heavily bandaged, and on the other side, His Majesty Magni, His Majesty Daline, and even Tyrande, the Lunar Priest, who had appeared for the first time since the start of the war, these leaders of the civilized world arrived at the command at almost the same time.
Dalyan was agitated, he quickly grabbed the commander's seal from the table, handed it to King Varian, he wiped the tears from his eyes, and shouted,
"Your Majesty, I am a warrior, I can also be a warrior! Please take over the command and let me go to the battlefield! I will save my brother!"
Varian looked at Dalyan playfully, and in his expectant gaze, he shook his head, and he sighed,
"No, kid, I'm a warrior too... So, my marshal, I now order you to take command and take full command of the entire human coalition line... Ladies and gentlemen, do you have any objections?"
Magni waved the two hammers in his hand, "As we all know, I'm also a veteran, so I have no objections. ”
Dai Lin's eyes fell on Dalyan, and he said solemnly, "Son, there are no reserves on this front, and you can't rush out like this, but we have brought new troops, and I heard that you have just completed a deadly assault on Arthas, so, I am looking forward to fighting alongside a great lad like you, the warriors of Kul Tiras are bleeding on the front line, of course I have no objection." ”
"The moon god will shelter the brave. ”
Tyrande turned her head to look at the battlefield in the distance, she lowered her head and chanted a spell in praise of the moon god Elune, raised her hand, and the next moment, a quiet moonlight fell from the sky, and then, the small half of the sky turned into a starry sky, and a meteorite with a long tail flame fell from the sky, and then Dalyan heard the scream from the reactivated sound stone,
"Oh hell, Dalyan, you got help? You're such a genius! I almost thought I was going to die... It's those sissy elves, aren't they? Thank them Luna!"
Dalyan looked at Tyrande with some embarrassment, the latter was very good-looking, she didn't care about the rude general's crazy words, but took off the horn from her waist and made it from the wood of the World Tree, and handed it to Dalyan,
"Barnes, the general of the race, will fight alongside you, and the moon god will protect the brave! ”
King Varian fastened the last buckle of his armor and strode out of his headquarters, where large portals were gleaming in a clearing filled with gunsmoke and flesh, and the Morgan Legion of Stormwind stationed on the Burning Plains was striding out, as well as the Sentinels in Firas, the Mountain Rangers in Danmoro, and the Royal Army on the island of Kul Tiras.
It was the last support arm, and now it seems that it was the last straw that overwhelmed Alsace.
Behind Varian, Anduin, who was also wearing sturdy armor and holding a sword and shield in his hand, was a little nervous, this was the first time he had followed his father into battle, and it was such a big scene, which made the little prince feel a little breathless, but Dalyan rubbed his head vigorously, grinned at him, and the tension suddenly disappeared.
Anduin took a deep breath and said silently in his heart, "Behold, I am marching with the heroes, and I am walking among them, and I will be one of them!"
On the other side of the battlefield, the spider demon from Eldraine Nirub, under Arthas's final order, almost frantically poured out, and every minute and every second, you can see the spider warrior who turns out of the ground, and the spider mage who casts spells in the distance.
Dranos Sarufar led the only remaining elite soldiers around him to charge the front line of the battlefield, but his incomparable bravery could not save the entire front from retreating, although they were not a frontal battlefield here, but the battle situation was just as anxious, and it was not even better than the human defense line.
"Jorin... You TM hold on to Lao Tzu!"
The brave warrior Garrosh held his brother Jorin Deatheye, who was attacked by three high-level spider warriors at the same time, this powerful orc warlock was almost unable to resist effectively because of the exhaustion of his magic power, his abdomen was completely pierced, and he struggled to speak, but the only remaining eyes were full of nostalgia for life and regret for friendship.
"Hold on! You didn't die at the hands of those great undead, how could you die at the hands of these damn bastards, Mother Goa is still waiting for us to bring glory to her, hell, I can't just take you back to her, Mother will go crazy!Come to life, my brother, hold on!!Dranoth, hell, come back and look at Yorin, he's going to die, our brother is going to die!Hell, I'm going to kill them! I'm going to kill them all! Hell!"
Garrosh, a real tough guy, looked at his dying brother at this moment, wailing helplessly, he didn't even notice the changes in the entire battle line, didn't notice the new forces that joined the battlefield from the rear of the orc battle line, a blue thunder rushed out from behind him, burning more than a dozen spider demons into charcoal at the same time, and the next moment, the big chief Thrall, who was riding the wolf Snow Song, was holding the hammer of destruction, and rushed to Garrosh with the last Kukaron personal guards, behind him, the reinforcements of orcs, minotaurs, trolls, and goblins were quickly catching up, and this precarious front was once again stabilized。
"That's enough! Garrosh, get Jolin back to the rear, where Mr. Drektar treats the wounded!"
Thrall's blue eyes had never been more trusting than at this moment, and Garrosh hurriedly picked up Jorin and rushed backwards, Sal's voice sounding behind him,
"Settle your brother and come back to me, Garrosh, you are needed on the battlefield!"
"Regal, take the shaman and the warlock to support Kane's side, they can't stand it anymore!Garuwitz, get your artillery unit moving, and Rock Khan, take the headhunters to support the scouts on the front, they're sealing the damn crypt! Others, come with me and crush these bastards! Show them the blades and courage of the tribe!"
"For the Horde!"
