Chapter 12: For Lordaeron
The posture of the ecological boat shining in the sky really shocked both the enemy and us. Even if the second-line troops of Anaheim City had privately learned that their lords had made a big show to bring their expeditionary force back through some kind of huge flying city, this kind of "truth" that seemed like a fantasy was nothing more than a fantasy for these dirt buns.
belongs to the kind of expeditionary force soldier A quietly to the second-line army city guard B at the wine table between friends and talking points, after all, Adlan has given a silent order, although it will not get 100% effect, but at least it can make most people shut up and keep it secret, and the "truth" passed on by the remaining small number of people is naturally regarded by these left-behind men as a smoke bomb deliberately made in order to exaggerate and brag about their military exploits.
In the eyes of the soldiers of the second-line troops who stayed behind, they knew that their lords had great powers, and even those legendary dragons could make friends, but no matter what, a flying city? Can also cross the endless sea? This joke is very good, and today's "appetizers" are really good.
It is driven by this mentality, coupled with the fact that the ecological ship has been arranged by Adelan to hide in the thick clouds, so basically the secrecy work is not bad, so that now, after these buns saw the appearance of the ecological boat, and easily solved the big trouble that seemed to them to be a catastrophe, they obviously followed Edlan like chicken blood, followed the Lordaeron battle flag held high, and rushed to the sea of undead that was so dense that people felt numb when they looked at it!
"Boom, boom, boom......"
Nearly 10,000 horses led by the heavily armored cavalry accelerated to the maximum in the not spacious area near the Hand of Tyr, and the dull and agitated sound of horses' hooves even drowned out the passionate roar of the cavalry on horseback!
If you look at it from a distance, it looks like a mime, except for the muffled thunder brought by the horses' hooves, the cavalrymen holding high their spears or sabers seem to open their mouths with blood gushing, as if they are shouting with all their strength, but they can't hear any sound at all. They are following this wave of revenge like a torrent of steel, sweeping towards the black and oppressive evil, towards the villains who have been stained with the blood of their families, relatives and friends......
"For the Lordaeron"
Suddenly there was an uplifting slogan in this mime that pierced the thunderous sound of the galloping horses, and although it was such a straightforward and nostalgic slogan, and such a powerful and uplifting slogan, it was soon drowned out again by the violent sound of horses' hooves.
It seemed like a long time had passed, and how long had this war cry been repeated in this land? No one remembered, and everyone's eyes were already focused on Edlan, who bore the brunt of the battle. He raised the phoenix double-blade again, although he wanted to raise the generalissimo's double-edged knife at this time, but unfortunately he was not qualified enough to have that more symbolic weapon.
The phoenix's twin blades were filled with flame-like holy energy, and the brightness of the holy energy began to rise, and finally like the daylight, the dazzling light scattered straight towards the army of abomination that was about to collide with this "steel torrent" in front of it!
Abominations are monsters that are sewn together from the corpses of dead creatures and then integrated with necromantic magic, and it stands to reason that there will be no instinctive reaction, but under the exposure of the furious sunlight, many of those abominations have stopped moving forward, and their thick arms are like instinctive reactions to shield their eyes from the "sunlight" that they feel that they have caused damage to themselves just by being exposed to the sun like this!
At this moment, Edlan, who was possessed by Gandalf, easily replaced the light of a melee ** division with holy light, and took advantage of the opportunity when those big men could not effectively counterattack, he wrapped himself in the flame-like holy light and crashed headlong into the black "wave......
The divine flames were rapidly connoissing away all the evil it had tainted with, and a path of ashes was stretching in the direction of Edlan's advance. It is precisely because of that soul horse that Adelan is very suitable for using this technique of "sacrifice" like that of a demon hunter, except that the demon hunter burns evil energy, and Adelan burns holy energy. Now that the traverser has become more and more proficient in spell construction, it is simply not too handy to use these "side doors".
It is no longer enough to describe the devastating momentum formed by the charge of 9,000 cavalry with sharp knives! Edlan specially arranged a combination of veterans + paladins in front of the formation, in order to be able to quickly open the gap and have a more relaxed and safer assault environment for the cavalry who followed.
Although morale was available, the second-line troops were still second-line troops after all, and this overly excited and unrelenting way of fighting made Edlan feel very dissatisfied. The total number of soldiers of the living is one
Zhidu is at a disadvantage, and it is an absolute weakness, and the cavalry charge burns those undead like a lawn after a fierce fire, but you can do it in round 1, round 2...... Even the 10th charge can turn their target to ashes, but what about the rest of the undead? How many rounds do you have to charge left? It's 20?30?...... Or 100?
Fatigue and battle damage began to increase in the assault troops, and Edlan was not only dissatisfied, but also had a very solemn expression, because at this rate of battle damage, I am afraid that after another 10 rounds of assault, the entire cavalry team will withdraw from the battle.
“for the lordaeron”
I don't know which soldier started the head, at the moment of chiseling through a round of regrouping, there was a slogan that was no longer shouted by Edlan, and this slogan was like a signal, when Edlan turned back to look for the soldier who took the lead in shouting the slogan, there were already more than a dozen soldiers raising their weapons and shouting loudly, followed by hundreds, thousands......
Adelan didn't think of using this sentence to motivate the soldiers, and seeing that they had already spent all their strength to shout this slogan, what he didn't expect was that many of the second-line soldiers who had repeatedly and continuously washed away the continuous undead army formation for 10 rounds and were already tired, they no longer needed Adelan's encouragement, and they spontaneously chanted "for the lordaeron" in those middle-level officers, junior officers, and even soldiers After that, the fellows, who had looked tired to death, followed their lord again as if they had been rejuvenated, and their general rushed towards the dross that came from different directions!
“for the lordaeron”
In the 17th charge, 30 paladins led their 120 horsemen out of the main force, and they rushed to the rays of the sinister and vicious crypt demons, sacrificing themselves to block their first spit...... Their deaths created the perfect opportunity for the main force, and Edlan's cavalry was able to quickly turn around in a dense formation during the high-speed movement, making a large circle and crashing headlong into the group of Crypt Demon units that suddenly emerged from the ground on the flanks in an attempt to teach these arrogant living a lesson......
150 Warriors fell, their deaths in exchange for the rout of the undead army's few clusters of ranged attack units, nearly 10,000 Crypt Demons crushed in the course of this charge, and the next round of this repeated charge awaited them......
“for the lordaeron”
The mighty battle cry seemed to fight for the brave cavalry countless strength, and in the 32nd round of the charge, Edlan's cavalry was fiercely stopped by the "wall" of abomination and withering!
The wave was broken into a wave, but the wave faded and came back!
On the ecological ship, Vilon, who was instructed to deal with the enemy's artillery position and contain the enemy troops here, saw the battle on the ground through the optical equipment and sighed, "They are real warriors......
The fierce men of the Lightcaster Legion also looked solemn one by one, especially the voice of "for the lordaeron", which was simply teasing the heart of the country that had been suppressed in their hearts for the country, if they could still shed tears, it is estimated that there have been many veterans who have experienced World War II and the country's hard struggle years in the ravages of natural disasters and the undead will shed tears for these young and fearless warriors.
"Well done!"
"They have inherited Lordaeron's prowess!"
Arthas also saw this scene, his mood was very complicated, he knew that he was unwilling, he knew that he was infected by those warriors on the ground who were not afraid of death, he really wanted to be one of them, he wanted to be able to lead such tenacious warriors to die in the battle to defend the country, instead of staying on this spaceship that everyone forgave him in order to save his "reputation" as he is now.
How he, Alsace Minehir, the former prince of Lordaeron, wanted to do something more for his country......! Subconsciously, Arthas looked away.
A pair of hands full of golden power like his own rested on his shoulders, and Arthas saw his father watching him.
"Don't run away from them, watch them well, boy, they are the future of Lordaeron. ”
"I know, Father, but I'd love to help ......"
"Don't talk about it, Lordaeron's future
It doesn't belong to us anymore. We have our mission, and now, our mission is to wait, wait for the mastermind who may not be able to sit still to appear, and then give him a fatal blow!"
“...... Okay, I see, Father. ”
Arthas turned his gaze back to the large monitor, and continued to watch intently at the collision of flesh and blood on the ground. It's just that no one noticed that Virena's waveless gaze fluctuated a little after seeing the interaction between father and son......
On the ground, I don't know how many times it was charged.
Although the paladins who charged in the first row after the battle were long dead and replaced, Edlan and the tattered Lordaeron banner held high behind him were still there, and the general who shone with the holy light was still there!
The Holy Light was above, and the unyielding body that had been fighting on the front line was very much like Uther! Ethanlien suddenly felt that the young figure not far away had become tall and majestic.
As a priest, he is not directly involved in the charge, he and the priests are more protected by others, following the team to block damage and heal their comrades in time. Even their auxiliaries were exhausted, but as far as he could see, every soldier, whether from Anaheim City or from the Scarlet Crusaders, was so tired that some could barely hold their weapons!
But when someone kept shouting "for the lordaeron" in anger, those soldiers who had clearly seen with Esenlian's eyes that they had lost their strength again went crazy like a force that came out of nowhere, and then regrouped and began to urge the war horses again, and again the soldiers who had input the few holy energies to the war horses to maintain their strength enough to sustain the next charge, and once again slammed into the "wall" that had blocked their nearly 10 charges!
This time, more than a dozen warriors completely closed their eyes, and this time the impregnable "wall" that seemed to them to be hundreds of meters thick began to shake, began to produce "cracks", and began to appear flaws!
That was the front, the focus of the dense attack, that was Edlan's position, and the golden light war horse driving the Great Lord slammed back and forth with a very small retreat and spin, hitting those who were still in the way even if their hands and feet had been burned off by their own holy energy, but still stood in the way!
Each impact of Edlan would blast out the few Holy Energies in his body as attacks, and then a new healing Holy Energy would replenish his strength for this "reckless" attack. This is Avena's Holy Light, she doesn't know how to help Adelan kill those ugly monsters, because Adelan hasn't had time to teach her to use the offensive Holy Light, at the beginning Anvina can only clumsily attach the Holy Energy to the Holy Hammer, and it is very wasteful to swing again and again, smashing the heads of ghouls one by one......
Later, Anvena gradually found that her killing efficiency was too low, so she began to concentrate on treating the soldiers around her and Adlan, which is also an important reason why the most prominent part of the entire charging front has been very strong and has always played an exemplary role. Edlan even decomposed all the healing spells such as the Holy Light Technique that Anvena released to him in his body, and re-fused them into the Holy Energy he needed, otherwise he would have already used the Holy Light Barrier Ultimate, and he would definitely not be able to hold on for so long!
It's just that Edlan, who is concentrating on combat, didn't expect that after Anvina's continuous treatment of herself, and through her own way of fighting by converting foreign energy into her own energy that has become more and more proficient, it is affecting her own energy composition......
Of course, that's all for later, and now that Adlane has broken through the 8th layer of the "wall" of abomination and withered intestines, he can even see with the naked eye that the unknown lich hiding behind this dense "shield" is beginning to show signs of panic.
For, from a distance, from the opposite side of the battlefield, beyond the chaos and noise of the fierce battle, in the direction of the hand of Tyr, there was the earth-shattering battle cry
“for the lordaeron”
The red wave poured out of the open city gate by a slight height difference, and flew down from the city wall using the holy shield technique, and the recruits of the Scarlet Crusader were infected by the constant resounding war cry outside the city, and they unexpectedly took advantage of the weakening of the offensive of the undead army and even a certain degree of confusion to attack, and quickly launched a beautiful counterattack with the support of artillery fire on the city head! Now it has begun to figure out how to remotely teleport and escape without being detected by its immediate boss......
