Chapter 626: Gargoyle
Year after year, Thule watched his neighbors grow stronger and stronger. Those who had been hiding without a trace when he swept up before had come out one after another to accept the protection of the human army.
Thule's anxiety also increased day by day, and every time he tried to launch a general attack, he always found that he was not sure of victory. As a result, he could only accumulate strength again and again, hoping to hit his neighbors at one time.
It's just that this hope is getting slimmer and slimmer, and in the end, looking at the mechanical aircraft in the sky that come to scout from time to time, Thule regrets that it was too late.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
There was another rhythmic muffled sound at the foot of the hill, and Thule turned and ran into the towers of the city walls. Almost as soon as he walked into the tower, explosions rang out one after another.
The explosion of this thing was so powerful that the walls of the city where the boulders were piled up were blown into debris and flew around the walls. Without the psychic's control, the stupid undead skeletons outside were like papier-mΓ’chΓ©, sliced by the splashed rubble, and fell to the ground in droves.
Tulle didn't even have to think that the plague trebuchet that had just been pulled out of the underground tomb might have been blown into pieces of wood again.
Tulle grabbed the staff in his hand, eager to transform into a great lich and go down and skin the people who fired these things!
It's these weird things! They look like they have eyes! Shattered his acolytes who imprisoned the sky to pieces. They haven't even seen how these things came to be!
And that's not all...
Having lost its grip on the sky, the mechanical flying machines on the opposite side wreaked havoc in the skies of Serberchel like locusts.
Thule has endured this for a long time!
Naturally, the Scourge has a lot of anti-air units, but in a place like Lordaeron, Tulle doesn't have anything rare like a dragon skeleton on his hands to assemble a bone dragon. If he had it, it would have been the humans below who had escaped.
But what he has is a huge number of gargoyles!!
The most common thing on the continent of Lordaeron is naturally the gargoyle, which has a long history in the history of mankind.
The gargoyle was designed with an abominable face, with bat's wings and tail, and a face like that of a vicious demon. In human lore, this creature is an extremely evil being.
These things are now largely here to scare disobedient children.
In the earliest times, a gargoylum was simply a type of statue used to decorate the drain pipe of the eaves. They made statues of them on the roof, which was used to direct the flow of water from the roof to keep the house clean. But at the same time, with the popularity of myths and legends, and because of its evil countenance, it was also used at the door of some houses to intimidate other evils. But as history has evolved, this thing has become a must-have decoration and statue on every house.
There are wizards who are obsessed with the study of golems and have invented ways to control other things. Gargoyles are one of the most representative initiatives.
Because of the gargoyle's small body, they give the gargoyle magic and input instructions to guard the one they are hiding somewhere... Treasure. But wizards' memories have always been mixed, and they may only remember when they need to, that I still have something hidden somewhere. However, some people may not remember these until they die.
Tragedy can happen when these places are inadvertently broken into by some adventurers. The characteristics of the guardian item will activate the motionless gargoyle, and the activated gargoyle is not something that adventurers with swords and shields can deal with, and the results speak for themselves.
And the others who fled will naturally spread this kind of thing that only happens in legends. As a result, its fierce reputation spread among ordinary people.
Naturally, the wizards, who are in the know, will not tell ordinary people about this.
After the Scourge invaded Lordaeron, many wizards joined the Lich King's command. As the war continues, the wizards who follow the Lich King find that they need flying units to fight the dwarven griffin cavalry. Soon, gargoyles became their go-to choice.
Unlike before, there was no moral or orderly constraint, and the wizards, acolytes, and psychics of the Cursed Sect used sorcery to infuse the lives they controlled into these statues and make them act. Most of these beings are the weak souls of small animals and beasts, which is also easy for them to control. These souls have made the gargoyles much more powerful than before. However, due to the low intelligence of small animals and other beasts, they continue to modify the souls of these gargoyles, adding various commands to them.
Let this gargoyle that only exists in mythology get closer to the mythical story.
Due to the habit of carving them with wings, they are activated and quickly fly into the sky. When not normally activated, they tend to stand motionless on some ancient structure.
Their advantages are obvious, the rocks make them invulnerable, and the rocks make them immune to most wizards' magic, and are almost unaffected by harmful magic. The exception is, of course, spiritism, which is heavily dependent on the control of psychics, and if someone else fights for control of them, they will come to a standstill.
What Tulle can comfort himself now is that he still has many gargoyles in his hands. The purpose of his forbearance is to lure out all their flying machines, and then let his overwhelming army of gargoyles defeat their flying machines!
Through these observations, Thule understands why he has been passively beaten. That's because your every move in the town is being watched by flying machines from the sky!
Only knock out those flying machines! Thule firmly believes that defeating them is the time to turn the tide of the war on his own!!
"Gargoyle Legion! Get ready to strike! The bombardment outside gradually stopped, and Thule gritted his teeth and ordered, "Prepare to show these damned humans!" The power of the Scourge Legion! β
At the foot of the hill outside the town of Thurberchel, the front-line combat command was already busy. Waves of soldiers came and went in and out of the headquarters set up in makeshift tents, and combat information was transmitted to the headquarters.
"Colonel Talgen, don't let your guard down in the Eighth Legion, I suspect that the Scourge Undead here may have other followers." Brigitte propped her hands on the large table in the tent, and she calmly said to the commander of the Eighth Army on the opposite side, "Always be ready to attack and support." β
"Major Faure, report to me immediately if there is any other movement around." The only middle-aged man in the tent wearing a MID uniform nodded.
"Colonel Polya, the Air Force's forward base defense must be done well."
None of the school officers in the tent spoke.
"Now, you have all seen the importance of the Air Force in this war!" Bridget glanced at all the officers in the room, most of the Army officers were expressionless.
She sneered a few times, "What, you're still dissatisfied with the way the Air Force controls this war?" Do you still think that the way of fighting in the past is the way soldiers fight? β
The commanders of the Sixth, Seventh, and Eighth Army Corps were silent, and some of the adjutant and middle-level officers behind them still looked a little unconvinced.
Only the officers in the air force uniforms in the tent had a smug smile on their faces.
"Hehe," Bridtch said with a few more sneers, tapping on the table. "I need to make it clear to you, that's why Grand Lord Harvey is making great efforts to develop the Air Force! If you can't show yourself in battle, it's not a fool's dream that the Air Force will surpass the Army in the future! β
"Train your soldiers to be on top when you are needed. Being able to excellently complete the orders given by the command is the army's future combat requirements! β
"Since Grand Lord Harvey can establish your three new legions, it is not a problem to abolish a few legions that are not capable of fighting."
"That's what the High Lord meant," Bridgette clasped her hands in her arms, her face smirking sarcastically, "this is his warning to all of you, don't think about thwarting the army's reform plans." β
"Times are different, folks." Bridget twisted the muscles around her neck, "Don't be delusional, try to resist this change. β
"Report!" As he spoke, the voice of the herald sounded outside.
"Major Dlock reported that all the artillery shells had been exhausted. Ask if you want the soldiers to press on and launch a final general attack? β
"Let him not be in a hurry," Bridget then turned to look at the commander of the Air Force, "Abnos, all the fighters of the Air Force have taken off, including the bombers. You have to cover the ground army operations, and by the way, see what other targets need to be bombed. β
"Tell Dlocker that when the Air Force controls air supremacy on the front line, the army will advance steadily. What about Senior Prosecutor Anna? Bridget turned her head to look, and there was no one around.
"Prosecutor Anna has gone to the front line to detect the plague of the undead." There are guards reporting.
Bridget nodded, "Alright then, disband." Officers of the rank of deputy commander and above followed me to the Andariel outpost to observe the war of Serberchel. β
"I hope you guys can get some help from this."

A few kilometers away from the headquarters, an extremely large forest was cleared. All the trees and weeds on it were cleared, and the ground was so yellow from the sun that there was not a single stone on it.
At the edge of the site, a ring of barbed wire fences off the site. Patrolling groups of Iva soldiers patrolled along the barbed wire fence from time to time, and every two hundred yards there was a simple wooden watchtower. Soldiers with binoculars were watching the outside of the field.
In the venue, dozens of meters away from the barbed wire, white and blue tents are densely packed one after another. Human soldiers and goblins are busy coming and going here.
Clothes to dry and neatly placed armor were not uncommon around the tent.
Closer to the center, tin buckets were stacked like a city wall, separating the tents from the airfield inside. Around these tin buckets, signs of danger, fire prohibition, and so on can be seen everywhere. There are even some goblin and human swear words. It's mostly a personal attack and curse on a human being who defecates or something else...
From time to time, ground crew soldiers in Air Force uniforms put down the black tin buckets in pairs and rolled on the ground towards the airport.
Further inward, you can begin to see tall minarets standing on the edge of the airport, away from the runway. Inside these proposed wooden buildings, which are only three stories high, you can see what many people are busy with. Above these buildings, there are long, slender stick-like objects pointing to the sky.
A few dozen meters away from the minaret, there were six leveled runways, and a huge bomber stopped at the end of the runway. On either side of these runways, helicopters were quietly parked on the grass, lined up in a neat line until far into view.
Many humans and goblins were busy around these planes in groups of five or six.
