Chapter 360: A tug-of-war
"Stupid humans, you don't know what horrors you are going to face. It seems that you know nothing - the frosty heart of Naxxramas will destroy you! Your blood and souls will be my best gift to the Lich King. ”
In the central control hall of Naxxramas, Kel'thugad observes this new world through several projection light curtains, and his heart is full of pride.
The world is full of life and vitality, and the more life there is, the more death there is. This is where the undead scourge can shine in its glory.
"Master, take the liberty of bothering you! Baron Rivendell came with an urgent letter for help. They are being attacked by a powerful Void Dread, and they are in dire need of your help. A Naxxramas Shadow reports.
"......," Kel'thugad said angrily, "these fools, can't you let me pretend to be a coercion quietly?" "But it can't be helped, even if it's the boss, sometimes it's involuntarily.
The portal beneath Naxxramas opened, several white lights flashed, and Kel'thugad himself led the Scourge Lords against the Void Monsters.
And in the sky, several warplanes flew over Naxxramas with heavy aerial bombs. The spatial ripples calmed down a little, and they swooped down, dropping their bombs on the purple-black castle.
Naxxramas is so huge, there is no reason why dive bombing cannot be hit.
"Whew!" The dragon roared, reverberating the universe. A large bony dragon head poked out from the top floor, spitting out a pale blue frost breath at the bombs.
The heavy aerial bombs were all covered in frost and smashed on the surface of Naxxramas, but they detonated less than a tenth of them and did not do much damage.
At this point, the frost dragon had fully crawled out. It is Kel'thugad's right-hand man, the legendary frost dragon Sapheron, who flapped its tattered dragon wings and soared into the air on all fours. The entire body is more than sixty meters long, including the head and tail, which is the size of a real adult dragon.
It was twice as big as Alexstasa and Ysera summoned by Xiang Ningxuan. Of course, their true bodies are bigger than Safilon, but now they are only limited by Xiang Ningxuan's strength, and they can't become a complete body.
A group of elite gargoyles flew out behind Saffron, swiftly circling around Naxxramas.
And the human fighters had already scattered and fled when Saffron appeared.
"Boom!" It seems that it is not chaotic enough, and the heavenly father also comes to make trouble. The already low clouds flew down, and the charges accumulated in the clouds found a place of catharsis, and several blazing white lightning bolts exploded. The pouring rain fell cracklingly, and the sky and the earth were foggy.
——
On July 5th, Naxxramas officially descended on Earth. That night, the Undead Scourge quietly licked the pain caused by the spatial teleportation, and did not rush to attack, but only sent a few elite squads to attack through the gap in the human defense line, and the main task was to conduct reconnaissance and contact.
And the humans did not take the initiative to attack, except for welcoming them with cannons. Tens of thousands of engineers retreated several kilometers and began to build a new defensive line.
On July 6th, it was cloudy with showers. The Undead Scourge, apparently knowing that humans are more combative during the day, only conducted some fire reconnaissance. Until nightfall, the surging army of the undead, led by more than a dozen legendary heroes, launched a furious attack.
The fierce fighting continued until dawn, and many human defenses were breached, countless pillboxes were razed to the ground, and the C-shaped defense line besieging the Naxxramas Advent Point was beaten into a sieve.
The frost dragon Saxilon, the titan Tadius, the two-headed corpse dog Glass, the poisonous spider demon Maxner, and the venomous fungus giant Looseb have become the nightmare of countless people.
Relying on reinforced concrete fortifications, humanity still lost more than 4,000 people. Xiang Ningxuan had to lead the elite group to rush in from the demon capital overnight to reinforce him, but he still couldn't stop the Scourge Legion.
In this battle, the Scourge Legion did not reap the benefits. Big guys like Safilon and Tadius, although they have great destructive power, have also great targets, and have become the key targets of human heavy weapons. Glass and Grosbrus were crippled, and most of the other undead were wounded.
The army of the undead also suffered heavy losses. Teleported along with Naxxramas, the elite undead units with a strength comparable to mini-bosses were reduced by 30%. These elite undead are not as dazzling as the legendary heroes on the battlefield, but they are the backbone of the Scourge Legion. Without them, just a dozen legendary heroes would be like zombies, losing control of the low-level undead troops below, resulting in a sharp reduction in combat effectiveness.
On top of that, the cannon fodder troops of the Scourge of the Dead are almost dead. Without a vast amount of cannon fodder to absorb damage, humanity will be able to concentrate its forces against the legendary heroes of the Scourge. Pachvik and Anubrekan went deep alone, surrounded by superior human armies, and the other Scourge Lords didn't want to repeat the mistakes of the past.
During the day on July 7th, the human army retreated to the newly built second line of defense, five kilometers away, as the first line of defense was too broken to be defended. The second line of defense is completely impossible to connect because of the greater distance. It consisted of a series of fortified groups, each of which was separated by two or three kilometers, and a total of 8 fortified groups were built, besieging a semi-circle of the city, faintly encircling Naxxramas and protecting the rest of the city.
Even if the undead natural disaster ignores the fortification group and intersperses, there is still several kilometers of buffer zone behind him, which has been fortified and cleared, unless the undead natural disaster is not afraid of being surrounded and goes deep alone.
Xiang Ningxuan also mobilized resources and established five fortification groups in Xicheng District to form a line of defense. In this way, the undead natural disaster was roughly besieged in Lucheng City and Xicheng District, an area of nearly 1,000 square kilometers.
The undead scourge also knows that in the later stages of the war, it is the resources that are fought. They will certainly not be able to consume the increasingly powerful humans in a corner, and they must continue to expand. And the top priority is to use the resources of Lucheng City to create a main force composed of powerful troops.
Therefore, on the night of July 7th, the Undead Scourge also changed their tactics, they no longer stormed the fortified area, but sent a large number of small detachments to bypass the fortified area and set up sub-bases in various parts of Lucheng City, collecting resources, corpses and souls to replenish their army.
The human army was-for-tat, Xiang Ningxuan and Rong Zheng each sent elite troops, using advanced night vision equipment, to find those undead squads that were more advanced.
The Undead Scourge was naturally not to be outdone, and gathered a number of legendary heroes to capture the elite troops of mankind. The two sides went back and forth, and the battle went from a large-scale decisive battle to a small-scale infiltration contest in a single day.
In the following days, the human race launched an attack during the day, with heavy artillery bombardment and aerial bombardment, and the main target was the undead natural disaster to produce various buildings for middle and high-level soldiers.
Although there are nearly a million corpses in Lucheng District, it will take time to convert these corpses into combat units. Key buildings such as the slaughterhouse, the Temple of the Damned, and the Bone Yard were the key targets of bombing, and it was determined that the undead scourge would not be able to increase production capacity. As long as the Undead Scourge is never able to assemble the main force that has always been composed of middle and high-level troops, the Undead Scourge will not dare to bypass the fortified area.
The battle in the sky is equally fierce, fighters, strike planes, and Sky Raiders are constantly attacking the undead Scourge Although there are legendary air units like Saffron, the Ice Dragon's degree is too slow, as long as the fighter does not fly within the range of its breath, it will not be able to catch up. Air combat is basically a duel between gargoyles and fighter planes. In this regard, humans are still very dominant, the fighter flies high, the straightness is fast, the range is long, as long as you don't get entangled in close quarters, you can completely hang and beat gargoyles.
And at night, the initiative of the battle goes to the hands of the undead Scourge. They rely on the mighty abilities of legendary heroes to spread plagues, sneak attacks, harassment, and lure corruption. Some effects may not take effect immediately, but over time they can cause unexpected effects. The human armies stationed in the fortified area are all ordinary people, and as long as their minds are not strong, they will be corrupted by the undead natural disaster.
The battle has thus reached a stalemate, with both sides seizing the time to make themselves stronger, while at the same time resorting to various means to prevent their opponents from becoming stronger. ()
