Gianna stood on a slightly higher slope, calmly "bombarding" the crowded, haphazard undead outside the strong line of paladins and soldiers.

That's right, "bombing".

In the distance, among the skeletal archers with cold arrows, from time to time, you can see pillars of fire rising from their feet as if they could burn away the evil of the world, freeing the souls of those who were originally poor and miserable. And closer to the battle line, Gianna chose the two spells of Blizzard and Frost Ring to link.

The Ring of Frost can freeze the units that pass through this ring within a certain range, and the frozen units will not only hinder the pace of the undead monsters that follow up, but also produce frost and be easily injured......

In fact, in terms of Gianna's strength, she doesn't need such a troublesome linkage of two spells, she only needs to cast a blizzard on the place with the most undead in a step-by-step manner, but the existence of those big guys in the undead front makes Gianna have to think about how to effectively control and eliminate the other party to reduce the pressure on the soldiers.

After all, as long as dozens of such big guys collectively crashed into the human army's military formation, no matter what kind of military formation, it would directly collapse. And the mage here is only himself, and it is the best choice to be able to delay or even kill those monsters halfway.

Gianna has grown rapidly during this period of actual combat training, from a relatively ignorant theoretical mage to a relatively experienced battle mage, of course, this experience refers to the aspect of concentrating on bombarding the enemy with mass destruction spells under the protection of effective security.

I have to say that the feeling of killing dead souls in such patches is so refreshing, Gianna even feels that if there is no blizzard one day, then this day is not her complete day......

Edlan didn't know what kind of bad physique Gianna had awakened on the side, and he stood with Gianna in a major plate armor, firstly to protect her, and secondly, to take advantage of this high slope to get a full view of the battlefield form. This is the third day that he helped Arthas share the command task, and he always feels faintly strange, it stands to reason that if Alsace doesn't go to Stratholme, the boss behind the scenes should think of another conspiracy, but now how do you look at the undead's offensive is a feeling of self-abandonment?

The more he stared at the battle line, the more Edran found that the seemingly very layered offensive of the undead in the past few days was completely insufficient, and more and more ordinary soldiers of Lordaeron had adapted to how to deal with these difficult undead monsters with the blessing of the paladin, as long as the abomination did not appear, it meant that the entire front would be very stable.

In the same way, as long as the meat grinders in the distance are no longer in the middle of the mass throwing corpses or ghouls in the rear, the human army is like the strongest scorched rock, standing firmly in this undead frenzy like a stormy wave.

Speaking of meat grinders, this evil ranged unit, when it first appeared on the battlefield, was really a big headache for the human side, and Edlan had also seen this kind of meat grinder that was different from the original. The more common attack is to collect the corpses and bones that have completely died and have no use value, throw them at the human army, and smash them indiscriminately. The effect is still quite impressive, although throwing something of that weight will make a few unlucky ghosts who are not in a hurry to dodge be stoned to death on the spot, but more people will not be shaken by this.

Because in war, it is normal to die under the opponent's long-range strikes, except for the militia who has just been recruited to clean up the battlefield and be in charge of logistics, which is very uncomfortable, everyone else usually only mourns in their hearts, and then picks up their weapons and fights at those disgusting monsters.

This is a relatively good result for the attack of the meat grinder, and the real situation that caused chaos in the human army formation is dozens of meat grinders, each of which will be stuffed with 3 or 4 ghouls at a time, and thrown together, directly bombarding the relatively vulnerable priests in the rear and some troops who use muskets or bows and arrows to carry out long-range strikes!

This initially caused a large number of casualties on the human side, but was later mitigated by the interspersed arrangement of melee soldiers and even paladins in the ranged units for protection.

But it is inevitable that if the "things" thrown by the meat grinder fall on the front line, if they fail to fill the vacancy left by the several soldiers who were stoned to death on the spot in time, then the entire front is likely to collapse directly, which has been a dangerous situation in previous battles many times.

The human response is to have a powerful paladin in charge, and whenever there is a gap, plug it until the soldiers behind you arrive to replace it. And now, it was Arthas who was fighting hard in the front, and he took the initiative to step down from his command position, in order to kill a few more undead monsters so that he could take out the evil anger in his chest.

Anyway, there are basically no existences that can hurt Arthas here, so neither Uther nor Edlan have stopped Arthas's anger.

In contrast to humans, who have adjusted, learned, and adapted to the different ways of attacking the undead, and then changed everywhere, humans have shown amazing adaptability and learning ability, making the offensive of the almost immutable undead seem more and more decadent. In the next few days, the humans made a simple stone throwing machine, which was built by some people from the hands of Dalongjun and Tyre who still knew engineering, and it was not very useful at first, but later many militiamen had become qualified operators in actual combat.

With this group of skilled catapult operators, if the undead side dares to drop the meat grinder on a closer battlefield, these trebuchets will smash those boulders on those disgusting ranged units under the command of professionals who are measuring and observing the bullets on high slopes!

It is precisely because of them that the military formation on the human side is more like a solid iron bucket.

In this regard, whether it is Arthas, Uther, or the top of the human defenders of the Sodoril Bridge, they have begun to be a little optimistic about the outcome of the war, after all, the excellent war literacy has made these professional soldiers constantly adapt to the new mode of war, and those undead, except for a slight threat under the command of the necromancer, are as docile as lambs to the slaughter at other times.

"Ding Ding Dong ......"

"Something seems wrong. Edlan, who was holding his shield and acting as Gianna's bodyguard with several other soldiers, looked solemn.

At this time, Gianna also finished a round of large-scale spells, she needed to take a break, just took advantage of the enemy's skeleton archers to shoot intensively, after applying the mage shield and ice shield to herself, she made a bowl of magic spring water for herself, and the "paused" without the image of a lady drank it in a big gulp.

Gianna felt that the mana in her body was slowly recovering, she wiped her mouth, and asked easily, "What's wrong? I haven't been taken care of by those skeletons for too long, so you're a little scared?"

"No, there was no such situation in the first two days, and I calculated that as soon as the opponent's ranged units reach your range, you only need a few spells, they will almost lose all the skeleton archers, and our stone throwers will not rest for long after solving those meat grinders, they will ensure that the firing frequency does not hurt themselves and will suppress all the skeleton archers that are not close behind!"

When Gianna heard this, her brows furrowed slightly, "You mean, the undead are not behaving normally today?"

"Yes, they have a lot of ranged units, and they are very purposeful to bypass our bow and musket positions in front of us from the river bank and attack us directly, this is the third time that this is such a dense attack, this kind of weak attack is more like harassment, at first I thought they were trying to disrupt our chain of command, but this attack is pointless, and they don't do anything anywhere else on the battlefield, so what the hell are those damn necromancers going to do?"

The enemy's abnormality means that there may be a conspiracy, so he should be more careful, so Gianna subconsciously added another lava armor to herself, "Maybe they can kill me this way-"

"Be careful!" With Edlan's call, the paladin cast a protective blessing on the target that was more powerful and absorbed more damage than a normal shield, and applied it to Gianna.

"Pss......ss

It was a black shadow that appeared out of thin air, and it was claw that severely hit Gianna under the protection of the ice barrier in time, if it wasn't for her timely use of this mage's life-saving skill, and at the beginning she had a very good habit of keeping herself with a double layer of magic shield, and now she added a third layer, plus a shield imposed by Edlan, which barely blocked this sudden claw!

In the ice barrier, Gianna could even see that the tip of the claw was only 5 centimeters away from herself! This feeling of being kissed by death really made people feel a chill down her spine! The next second, Gianna disappeared in place, and appeared next to a catapult, and went straight into the protective circle of the three paladins.

"Bang!" a giant hammer that descended from the sky and condensed the right holy energy smashed down!

Before most people could react, Adelan's Hammer of Sanctions had blasted out and landed firmly on the monster's head!

That's right, after being attacked, the figure that emerged from the disguise of a group of bats was a monster with a height of 5 meters, a pair of huge bat wings on its back, like goat's hooves under its feet, and horns on its head! It was half-flying in the air, looking with interest at the ice crumbling into its claws, and the paladin on the ground who had already attacked him.

The monster mockingly said, "Your holy light is weak, paladin!"

Edlan wasn't surprised that the Hammer of Sanction he had used had no effect on this monster, and he didn't doubt that he had just given Gianna a protective blessing, because he recognized this guy at a glance as the Dreadlord, Marganis! This is not only a matter of the difference in strength level, but these monsters whose scientific name is Nasrezm, known as the Dreadlord Demon King, have been dealing with the Draenei of the Holy Light for a long, long time ago, and Edlan's Holy Energy may be huge, but the strength of the Holy Light spell he uses is a little insufficient, especially in front of this high-level demon who is familiar with the Holy Light.

Demons like Nasrezm are not weak in frontal combat, but they usually prefer to play with people's hearts, and they usually hold some kind of work in the Burning Legion, such as the Gestapo, they are cruel and tyrannical, and often use intimidation or other fraudulent means to kill their targets, and eventually make them subjugated in the fall, so that they can submit to their feet, and make the otherwise noble people become accomplices of the villains.

Soon, a disgusting poisonous mist appeared on the hands of the Dreadlord who had bewitched Arthas in the original work, and he did not dodge another divine shock from Adlan, "Die, reptile." With the Dreadlord's contemptuous words, he waved his hands lightly, and the thick, viscous poisonous mist swung out to form a wave of green qi, which was enough to turn any human who dared to stand in front of it into a puddle of white bones.

In the blink of an eye, the air wave covered all the humans on this small high slope, and the screams were endless in an instant!

"No!

There was such a big commotion, and Arthas, who had just been rotated down on the front line, naturally saw it, but what he saw was that Edlan's shining golden holy light was completely enveloped in this dense green mist! Arthas shouted angrily, and then regardless of the little holy energy left in his body, he summoned a fountain of light in the direction of that monster!

In the next second, the holy light bloomed, and the "little stars" either crashed into the green mist quickly, or shot at the Dreadlord who was trying to get away!

Gianna, on the other hand, quickly cast her most damaging Frost Fire Arrow spell in the distance, and the flames wrapped around an ice pick and slammed into the big monster flying in the air!

"It's kind of interesting......" Malganis pulled his body up, looking down at the ants on the ground like a god descending, "But, poor prince, I didn't expect you to have so much fun with these toys here?" hahahahahaha, then you can continue to play, cowardly prince, I will take all your people from Stratholme, and I will take the undead all over your land, and I hope you will have more fun when the time comes!"

With that, Marganis' form began to blur again, and he was about to turn into a bat and leave here.

But at that moment, a sharp sword appeared out of thin air from top to bottom! Unfortunately, it only stabbed a bat to death, and did not hurt the demon's body.

Paladin Skill, Sword of Justice!

Originally, it was usually the paladin's more and more proficient use of the Holy Energy, and he could use the method of "remote control" at close range to stab out the sword-like spell after the condensed Holy Energy in the direction of his own control, but Adelan used his huge Holy Energy to act on it in the air at a distance, which became another long-range single skill of Adelan.

It's a pity!

At this time, another ordinary standard longsword that flew out of the ground also shaved off another bat, which was a throw from Tirio, a weapon that protected the catapult in the rear formation, and although his throw also successfully hit a bat, even if he was as experienced as he was in the first encounter, he was unable to determine which was the entity.

Tirio is now wearing the standard plate armor equipment of Lordaeron soldiers, and the two-handed sword that Edlan asked for is not a high-end product, and it can kill a bat when the Dreadlord retreats, which is also a high-quality (green) weapon.

The green mist cleared, and in a cloud of light that seemed to blind people's eyes, Adlane sighed slightly, because if he couldn't kill the Dreadlord here, Arthas would be enraged by him and go to Stratholme to slaughter the city......

As a "cheating" traverser paladin, Edlan has naturally mastered the skill of "invincible", and with his huge holy energy supplement, this spell called the Holy Shield is extremely strong, which is the greatest confidence for him to dare to try to make up the knife at the end, and he is not afraid of being killed by Malganis.

But the Dreadlord didn't stop at all, he clearly felt that after he appeared, in the direction of the human army's station, several paladins who were powerful enough to completely cause him to "die" had already discovered the big movement here and rushed over. Therefore, it would be unwise to stay here any longer, for his plan had been reached, and that the impulsive prince would surely push himself into the abyss because of his sense of duty, which was not at all common for a race like them to play with people's hearts, so Malganis did not need to confirm it at all......

It's just that the soldiers around Adelan are not as lucky as him, they all died under the skill of the Dreadlord of the rancid swarm bees, this method of summoning a large number of creatures and insects living in the dark, and accompanying the poisonous mist to attack the enemy is really vicious! Edlan saw that these poor soldiers had been gnawed by those dark creatures, and it was not until the Dreadlord retreated that these summoned otherworldly pests disappeared together.

......

Soon, Edlan, Gianna, Arthas, and the soldiers who had just fought were rotated, and the top brass of the troops gathered again for a consultative meeting.

“...... It is impossible for a Dreadlord to be killed so easily, and the nature of the demons makes it impossible for them to be completely killed outside of the Void. They are all masters of conspiracies, and Dalaran's Mystical Records record a lot of the secrets of the Ancient Wars, and most people don't even know about their existence, and I was fortunate enough to read them because of the permission of Mentor Antonidas. Gianna concluded, her gaze on Arthas, who had clasped her hands in anger and hoped that her information would help him, but now it seemed to have no effect.

"So, wake up, Arthas, can you believe what comes out of the mouth of such a demon? Uther also persuaded his disciples at the right time.

"Then are you going to let me sit like this, and wait for that scoundrel to go to Stratholm and kill all my people and turn them into monsters like the ones outside?" Arthas "soared" to his feet, almost roaring at Uther.

Edran watched the conversation between Uther and Arthas in silence, he knew very well that Arthas was still on the old path, the Dreadlord was too good at grasping the weakness of people's hearts, Arthas's desperate struggle for the sake of the people was completely used, and now there was no one who could stop him from going to Stratholme.

It's really aggrieved, and I thought that I could use the arch guards of these bigwigs to successfully rewrite the fate of Arthas, but now it seems that what I did was in vain.

After all, the power of the individual is too small to shake the wheel of fate...... So what must be done to turn his fortunes around? Edlan was at a loss......

P.S1: I'm going to post 2 chapters today......
