The end of the hermitage?
Aurelia had good eyesight, and with a little hand to build a pergola, she could see the dense crowd of troll warriors on the city walls. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
These heavily armed troll warriors numbered in the tens of thousands, and they could effortlessly destroy any country or city on the continent—and Aurelia had no doubt about it.
"Give the order to go down and camp on the spot. The Knights of the Silver Hand take cover from the front, and if the trolls dare to go out of the city, don't let a single troll through your lines until the army is arrayed. ”
Arthas commanded loudly.
"Yes, His Royal Highness Prince Arthas!"
Paul answered, then turned and went to command the army to camp.
"Don't worry, Arthas. ”
Uther drew his two-handed sword, turned his horse's head, and went to gather his troops, and Alexandros Mograini followed him silently, and although he did not speak, Arthas knew that Mograine would not disobey any of his orders.
"Can we really take a city like this?"
Prince Danas muttered with some unconfidence - the human side was quite well prepared for this war, but the tallest siege ladder they carried was only ten meters, and they could only say that they could not do anything in the face of these dozens of meters of high walls.
As for the city gates...... Prince Danas looked at Zuamana's gate, which was as huge as the city wall, and he knew it was certainly not a thin plank.
"The strength of the army was no longer useful in the early stages of this battle...... If Her Excellency can break this gate, maybe we still have a chance. ”
Arthas smiled bitterly and shook his head helplessly.
Although the Knights of the Silver Hand were sent to keep an alert, it seems that the trolls had no intention of going out of the city to attack the coalition forces that were a little chaotic because of the camp.
Soon, an improvised camp was formed in the clearing between the edge of the woodland and Zuaman, and before the sun set, the commanders of Alsace and the various parts of the coalition army were able to gather in his tent for an urgent military meeting.
"Lady Aurelia, have you found anything?"
Arthas politely asked Aurelia before the meeting began.
While the other soldiers were busy setting up camp, Aurelia Windranger and her sisters and companions made a quick circle around the massive troll city of Zuaman, surveying the terrain and the distribution of the troll garrison.
"Zuaman is really too big...... All of us are lined up in a circle, and I'm afraid there's no way to surround it. ”
Aurelia pulled out a parchment roll from the quiver at her waist, with a sketchy diagram of her charcoal pen on it.
"So the siege strategy is not very feasible...... If we focus on one side, the trolls can use all their forces to fend off and defend the other walls, so we don't have a numerical advantage. ”
Arthas nodded, muttered to himself, and motioned for Aurelia to continue.
"There are fortified fortresses in the four corners of the city, and there are also many troll warriors stationed in them...... These fortresses look very new and should have been built not long ago...... However, because these forts are smaller, it may not be much easier to attack than to attack an entire city. ”
Aurelia said, pointing to the four corners of Zuaman on the parchment.
"These fortresses must be uprooted first, no matter what the cost, or our flanks will always be threatened. ”
Prince Danas commented on the defense of the city of Zuaman.
"As for the rest...... Because the walls are so high, we don't have a way to see the defenses inside the city. ”
Aurelia put away her parchment roll and handed it to Arthas, saying apologetically on her face.
"No, Lady Aurelia, you've done a good job. ”
Arthas replied hurriedly.
"The trolls should know that we have the help of Her Excellency the Queen...... But why do they dare to stand so arrogantly at the head of the city of Zuaman? Although the wall of several tens of meters is beyond our imagination, it is far from exceeding the flight altitude of Her Excellency the Queen?"
Aurelia smiled at Arthas, then asked her own question.
"It's not clear...... However, it never hurts to let Her Excellency try it first. ”
Arthas shook his head and said he didn't know why the trolls were so bold, but he planned to let the Red Dragon Queen launch an "air strike" first.
With so much research and discussion here, is it possible that the trolls would make such arrangements just because they were stupid?
Maybe the Red Dragon Queen can burn Zuaman with a breath, and then she can lead a large army to rush in and wipe out this group of guys who threaten the security of human territory, and triumph as soon as possible.
With such unrealistic fantasies, Arthas and the commanders of the coalition army rode out of the camp, and above their heads, a red dragon soared into the sky.
The Red Dragon Queen's massive bat-wings obscured the sky and drove the sunset out of the clearing, and her massive body quickly broke through the clearing between the coalition camp and Zuaman.
Under the gaze of everyone, the Red Dragon Queen's huge dragon mouth, a flame hundreds of meters long, rushed and swept towards the head of Zu Aman.
……
At the head of the city of Zu Aman, the emperor of the Amani Empire, Zu Jin, left his altar for the first time and came here, with Kardara and Malagos following him.
"Caldara-sensei, this ......"
Malagos looked at the giant red dragon in the sky, and the witch doctor dodged behind him in a bit of panic as the fiery breath came to him, while whispering Caldara's name.
"Don't be afraid, Malagoth. ”
Caldara comforted his disciple softly, and then raised his head, the fiery red flame was already close in front of him, but Caldara didn't even blink.
……
"It can't be!"
Outside the city of Zuaman, outside the camp of the combined forces of humans, dwarves, and High Elves, Prince Danas shouted with wide eyes and some panic.
"Indeed...... Quirky ......."
Arthas frowned tightly and looked at the city of Zuaman, all of which was incomprehensible to the well-informed "former Lich King" His Highness.
The Red Dragon Queen's breath hit the head of Zuaman with unmistakable accuracy...... Hit the air above the city.
As if in the air, Arthas noticed that the Red Dragon Queen's breath had changed shape, and it looked as if the flame had turned into a red shell that enveloped the city of Zuaman.
"Enchantment?"
Master Khadgar came to Arthas's side, hesitating to give his judgment.
"Maybe that's what this group of trolls have done in such a short period of time, and it seems that so many trolls' deaths are worth it. ”
Arthas said to the crowd as he watched as the Red Dragon Queen futilely attacked the city of Zuaman in the air.
Several breaths in succession turned into a phantom in front of the invisible barrier, and the Red Dragon Queen was finally enraged by the barrier that dared to stand in her way, and she rushed towards the head of Zuaman with her teeth and claws.
Dragons' claws and teeth are also a powerful means of attack compared to breath, but the Red Dragon Queen is destined to run into a wall in Zuaman today.
Even the Lifebinder Alexstasa himself could not help this troll sanctuary that stood on this land soon after the beginning of heaven and earth.
"Hahaha! Look at this stupid dragon! Look at its feeble look! Hahaha!"
Zujin stood at the top of the castle and laughed ungracefully, completely forgetting that when there was no enchantment, the Red Dragon Queen had burned him and his orc allies in front of Riptide Castle six years ago.
"It seems...... This war is not so easy to end. ”
Arthas watched as the sun set into the forest in the distance, shook his head slightly, turned his horse's head, and planned to return to his tent.
