12. Old rivals
How powerful is the Burning Legion?
This question was a puzzle to Azeroth 2,000 years ago, when commanders and generals could only rely on guesswork to determine the number and origin of these demons who organized the Burning Expedition under the control of the Dark Titan, and they could not even accurately guess the territory occupied by the Burning Legion.
Even the Argus Wars and the Argus Star Wars recorded in the annals of history were nothing more than a desperate counterattack after the outcome was predicted, and Azeroth put all his strength and hope in that battle, and the four fleets combined at that time were not even as strong as the fleets of a large star region today.
However, they have accomplished great feats that the current fleet could not even imagine, relying on their tenacity and unimaginable luck to destroy a demonic base camp in a large star region when their strength is far inferior to that of their opponents!
It was almost the most humiliating battle in the tens of thousands of years since the establishment of the Burning Legion, Argus was completely destroyed, and even the Dark Titan, who was the most powerful in darkness, lost one of his arms in that battle, and lost extremely badly.
For hundreds of years, some called it the great victory of Azeroth, but it wasn't until the world actually stepped onto the interstellar stage that they knew how lucky they were to win.
After 2000, the Federation occupies 137 large star regions, and the area occupied is only two-thirds of the demon world, and in terms of population, it is not at the same order of magnitude as demons.
Therefore, there is a classic saying among later critics: the demon loses by carelessness and underestimation, and Azeroth wins by luck.
This is almost the fairest judgment of the Argus Star Wars.
However, the demons will not always be so strong, and Azeroth will not always be so weak, after the development and conquest in 2000, now Azeroth, has the strength to confront the demons head-on, after the First Fleet broke away from the Transition Layer, standing in front of them is the old rival Dark Fire for thousands of years.
The two fleets that the two super civilizations can fight the most, at this time, the quality of Azeroth is superior, and the number of dark fire is superior, even if the power is disparity, but no one takes a step back, even between the cold and distant star fields, you can feel the almost stagnant confrontation between the two sides.
Like a warrior stepping into the battlefield, the two sides no longer hold their hands, and the first blow of the fight will be the fastest and most crazy confrontation.
"Fire!"
"Boom"
"Boom"
After the main artillery of the two sides was fine-tuned, the pillars of light that pierced through the cold and dead space pierced the battlefield that had quieted down at that moment, and in this place where the stars were shining, in the floating without the concept of the upper and lower quadriparties, the shells and rays of both sides bombarded the energy defense layer of the opponent's starship with an absolutely fierce and strong attitude, stirring up huge waves of flames and energy.
The violent energy fluctuations even tore apart the space between the star fields, and the black faults that could be seen everywhere made everyone who saw it tremble, even if it was a whole starship, after encountering such a spatial rift, it would be torn open a whole wound, and even submerged in that space.
And the First Fleet of Azeroth, which was prepared to strike before jumping into the battlefield, also gave the opponent a "surprise".
Realizing that the first fleet came out, in addition to the 24 capital ships of the dark fire, there were less than one-third of the demon starships, which led to the fact that when the first fleet's attack was issued, the other starships were in a state of partial defense, and they even faced the opponent on their backs later, and some starships were numerically superior, and they didn't even open the defensive energy shield.
Under the sweeping starship salvo, just one wave weakened the demon's numerical advantage by at least one-third.
A terrifying number of wrecks and damages, the hull that broke in the void was burned into flames under the continuous blows of various energy explosions or simply the fighting ships of the First Fleet, and in the violent explosion, it was captured by the gravity of the surrounding planet and fell.
The counterattack of the Demon Fleet destroyed the first three layers of the First Fleet's combined shield, but it was wiped out in the last layer.
Tulayan's body jerked up from the command chair, drew his long sword behind his back, and shouted in the communication channel,
"First Fleet!
"Boom"
The body of the Heroic Spirit dissipated under the light of the command room at this moment, and a giant of light hundreds of meters high appeared in front of the First Fleet, on the left, Anduin's Heroic Form held the Guardian of Truth, and the scorching light almost completely enveloped the left flank of the fleet, and on the right, a flaming phoenix appeared in the void, flapping its wings to protect the flagship of Quel'Thalas.
Kael'thas with a cold expression held a staff in his hand, after 2000 years ago, he was no longer a low-level life that could only crawl on the ground, he looked at the dark fire fleet blocked in front of him, a trace of killing intent and coldness flashed in his indifferent eyes, and the expectation of meeting old friends again.
"Boom"
Under the traction of his left hand, six rays of scorching light like substantial magma appeared from the void behind him, like six flame swords piercing through the void, sweeping through the void in front of him in a posture like an elven sword dance, and all the beings in front of this sword blade were cut off by the scorching blade of light, this extremely compressed energy ray far exceeded the strength of the starship shield in terms of energy density and mass, as simple as piercing a balloon with a needle.
Destroying nearly 20 starships in one blow, the name of the demigod of Azeroth resounded among the stars.
This blow was like a trumpet blowing, the First Fleet, which had sharpened its fangs, under the leadership of the flagship, stepped into the battlefield majestically like a knight charging in the Middle Ages, their will was united, and their fighting spirit was high, even the cold steel could not stop the crazy blood.
Among the starships, there were soldiers who sang the battle song of the First Legion, first one person, then ten people, and finally all, and when the impassioned battle song resounded throughout the communication channel, who else could defeat such a mad fleet?
Who else can defeat such an iron-willed civilization?
"They're backing up!"
"That's because they're scared!
"Prepare the main gun!"
"Fire!"
"Boom!"
The First Fleet was like a warrior marching forward against the flying light of fire and cannonballs, and even though the shields were breached, even if their companions were destroyed in the attack at every moment, their direction never changed.
The Heroic Spirits have already brandished their weapons and charged into the battlefield of their opponents, and in the frenzy of attacks brought by these Heroic Spirits, the Golden Shell livery of the First Fleet seems to symbolize the arrival of victory.
It's bound to come!
"The "Qunluan" was subjected to artillery shelling, and the defense system of our ship failed... I'm going to carry out the final attack!Long live Azeroth!"
A generous voice sounded in the communication channel, and then under the gaze of the other captains, a starship that had been lit with flames and smoke on the deck quickly broke away from the fleet, almost rushing towards the opposing fleet at the fastest speed, like a blood-stained blade, and like a sharp arrow off the string, it turned into a red light in the more frantic fire of the opponent, and finally dragged the wreckage and crashed into the front of the dark Mars ship at the front.
At the moment when the entire starry sky was illuminated by the light of a huge fire, the entire fleet's communication channels were silent, like a volcano about to erupt, and that silence was followed by a moment of energy riot that destroyed everything.
"Wreck them for me! Don't let those bastards go!"
Field Marshal Kuville's almost physical anger erupted throughout the First Fleet, and all starships, even those without frontal combat functions, began to accelerate, and the blood of fanaticism surging in the depths of the heart was completely ignited in the accompaniment of artillery.
The proof of the power of that courage spread quickly throughout all the planets in the entire Pruk Star Zone in the near-live broadcast of the Ethereal Smuggler Ship watching the battlefield, and then spread towards the closest star field at a faster speed, and soon, the fleets of the four large star regions outside the Pruk Star Zone began to leave the port, rushing towards this exciting Star War Zone at the fastest speed.
In the more distant war zone, at the moment when the First Fleet charged against at least 3 times the number of demon starships, the slightly silent blood courage of the entire Federation was activated again, and the result was that in this year, the Federation fully won the battlefield advantage of 11 star war zones, and the battle line of the demons almost completely collapsed.
The old demons who had experienced the history of war 2,000 years ago were surprised to find that these soldiers who had gone to the interstellar age seemed to have regained the kind of madness that they once called "barbarians", and the courage from ancient times was reactivated, and under the gentle appearance, the Azeroth Federation had once again changed from peace to beasts, and before that, no one had ever told them that Star Wars could be fought like this, and starships could be used like this.
In the more distant future, the glorious Federation soldiers will call this charge "the last courage", and beyond this crazy and cruel courage is the shame of the defeat of their opponents, just like their distant ancestors in the Middle Ages, they only need to charge and charge under the guidance of the Union banner to easily get the victory they want.
Not civilized at all, not at all elegant, and even ridiculed as rude courage, is the true pillar of a civilization.
"Boom"
The last of the Darkfire's command ships were completely destroyed by the roar of the scarred Storm Fortress's main guns, and after a disturbing murmur in the demons' communication channels, the wild guys finally collapsed, even if there were still more remnants than the equally badly lost First Fleet, but the demons were finally terrified in the face of the madmen who dared to charge against the gunfire.
The passage of the Void Contract was opened, and then it was destroyed by the roaring cannon fire of the First Fleet, so they began to turn and flee, when the first starship that jumped out of the battlefield disappeared, all the starships that were still holding on collapsed in an instant, they flew in all directions, the First Fleet tried its best to leave them behind, but there is no need to regret, the fleets of the other star sectors have already cast a net outside this battlefield.
They can't escape!
When you're crazy enough, brave enough, the whole world has to give way to you.
The Holy Light Devvoker, whose shell had been almost completely torn open, slowly docked to the front of the scarred Stormkeep, with the help of a traction field, and Huron and the others escorted the box containing the Soul Crystal and Tisharacher into the command hall of the Stormkeep.
Anduin looked at the round black crystal, and he trembled and placed his hand on the surface of the crystal, feeling the extremely exhausted sleeping soul in it, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Welcome home, my mentor. ”
And in the depths of the vast universe, at the forefront of order and chaos, a dark body sitting on a throne forged by a vanished planet suddenly opened its eyes, revealing a trace of crimson light that made people palpitate, and the broken sword in his hand also rose into flames, but after a moment, those eyes closed again.
"Hehe... Fate, then let it come... Dick, welcome back. ”
"This uninteresting star field is really ugly!"
"Don't rush, Griebal, don't rush... Soon, we'll see him soon. ”5610
