Chapter 432: RPG or RTS, that's the question
War has never changed.
The world has never been fair.
If you don't die, you won't die.
As the three principles closest to the truth in the universe, they are second only to the three philosophical propositions in importance.
i.e. who am I? Where am I? What to eat tonight.
Why are these three principles so important?
Because if you recite it a few times, you can suppress the monstrous anger.
At least at this moment, near Blackstone Mountain, the most powerful people have a sentence in their hearts that MMP is about to uncontrollably explode and the urge to erupt is about to erupt.
From Thoreson's point of view, the Surrender Faction's minions are trying to use the power of the fire elemental against them. Gan! What happened to Lao Tzu's daughter with Magni's copper beard, what happened to his niece in terms of generation, what happened to black and white, that is called winning glory for the country! What's wrong with I like Amore, what's wrong with wanting to make her queen, the old Suo's family's affairs are your turn to be blind?
Thorrison is really wronged, the royal party thinks he is too weak, allowing the fire demon to infiltrate the black iron dwarf, losing power and humiliating the country, not a wise king; The surrender faction thinks he is too tough, can the Fire Elemental Monarchs be offended? Minute by minute infinite fireball teaches whether it is good to be a person, only by following the footsteps of the fire element monarchs can we create a big black stone co-prosperity circle; The Senate felt that he had connived at the citizens to denigrate the slavery of the great and righteous people, and that he was not a good emperor, and that he would do nothing but collect taxes and levy taxes; The progressives of the Brotherhood of Thorium spent their days trying to start a revolution and establish a new order...... Even the miners want to dig a few more tons of ore and save money to buy slaves as slave owners, and cook your whole family!
State affairs and family affairs are not going well, and public opinion, social conditions, and feelings are worried.
So the fact that the human race raided the eastern barracks is a ball, and the army has been drawn to the forefront to fight the Black Dragon Legion, so what is there to worry about hundreds of humans.
What my big black iron pill, what alliance has been defeated, what Amola is the fine work of Ironforge Fort......
Thoresen angrily lifted the hammer and smashed it over, and the talkative councillor was really intoxicated with the pleasure of spitting, where did he think that the emperor would suddenly go berserk, and he was directly opened.
"I agreed that you would send troops, that you would build more elemental temples, that you would have more building rights and mining rights. Now, I want to give my woman an identity, and you don't agree anymore? ”
Sorison's spare eyes saw Amola hiding in the secret door and watching, and he was angry, thinking about how to compensate Amola and how to clean up these disobedient courtiers for a while.
As for human beings or something, they must first settle down inside and clean up this Dark Furnace Fort first.
From Nefarian's point of view, Erwuzai, Erwuzai, and all TMDs are Erwuzai, except for my dear sister Onexia, the Black Dragon Legion is all Erwuzai. The servants of the orcs and the like still know how to maintain the respect they deserve, and the other black dragons think that he doesn't know about those filthy private conspirators? It's just a little pretending to be sick, and I tried to find out so many two or five boys, and I'm going to die!!
A few days ago, the black iron dwarves suddenly strengthened their offensive, and the fire elements were also ready to move, and in the sky outside the black stone tower, the red dragon and the green dragon showed off their might, and they pretended to be unwell, so they let the black dragon legion discuss a plan first......
As a result, a group of 25 boys did not discuss a feasible battle plan, but began to discuss the candidate for the acting commander.
Nefarian, who had stabilized his injuries, forced himself to continue to lie on the bed and pretend to be crippled, silently watching a group of two or five boys under his command sing a big show, thinking about how to settle accounts after the fall.
However, Nefarian selectively ignores and forgets, and in fact Onexia is his biggest rival within the Black Dragons.
The internal disorder greatly interfered with Nefarian's plans, and regaining power within the Black Dragon Legion became Nefarian's main task at present.
So through magic, Nefarian to Red. The Black Hand gave the latest order———— and immediately returned to the upper level of the Blackstone Tower after gathering his people, preparing for the battle against the Black Iron Dwarves.
As for the Alliance and the Horde, a group of inferior creatures, sooner or later submit to the great Black Dragon Legion, there is no need to hurry.
From Orgrim's point of view, what the tribe urgently needs right now is not manpower, weapons, or supplies, but morale. The defeat was like a mountain, the wall fell and everyone pushed it, and the biggest problem now was victory, a victory that was enough to boost the morale of the people. Anyway, it won't be much worse if he fails, so Ogrim knows that Red. The black hand was not so credible and still agreed to participate in the operation.
From Anduin. From Lothar's point of view, all difficulties are paper tigers that cannot stop the alliance from going from victory to victory...... The number of these orcs is a bit large, and the attack is a bit fierce!
Strategically contempt the enemy, tactically valuing the enemy.
Anduin. Lothar lives up to this principle.
Therefore, when the battle officially began after dawn, Carlos's mission, more than 300 Alliance warriors, and the prophecy were all forgotten by the Alliance Generalissimo———— defeating the orcs in front of him was the most important thing.
The battle has entered the white heat from the beginning, the original morale of the low morale of the orcs as if they have been drugged to the death, the brave posture even touched Lothar, who has experienced the whole war, is it possible that the green tide as deep as darkness has returned?
But soon, Lothar discovers something out of the ordinary.
That is, the front of the fortress bypassed by the orc's sharp attack, and the attack was launched along the outermost fortifications of the alliance in two arcs on the left and right, and it looked like it was going to go around in a roundabout way.
"What are the orcs doing here? Without breaking through our frontal defenses, we made a detour to the north of the fortress...... That's still going to be stuffed! ”
The officer beside Lothar also did not understand the intention of the tribe, and said the doubts in everyone's hearts in confusion.
After the failure of the first foray into the Burning Plains, the Coalition abandoned the strategy of expanding the area under its control, concentrating its resources and manpower on the current fortified war fortress next to the main access roads.
Even if the orcs succeed in circumventing the back, so what, in order to defend against possible enemies in the Blackstone Tower, there is no difference between the back and front of the fortress. The engineers of the alliance were not stupid, and their precise calculations came to the conclusion that even if the enemy occupied the high ground on the side of the mountain road in Blackstone Mountain, they would not be able to take advantage of the height difference to bombard the outer walls of the fortress with siege weapons such as trebuchet artillery.
Because it's too far away, even an engineering tank in the hands of the Copperbeard Dwarf can't do it.
What's more, these roundabout orcs didn't carry obvious siege equipment at all, and those big guys had no way to hide at all.
That's it, Anduin. Lothar and Ogrim. The Hammer of Doom misunderstands these orcs with fanatical war intent to do so. These orcs who are anxious to express themselves to their new masters.
The aftermath of Gul'dan's death is brewing, and Orgrim doesn't understand the profound effects of demonic blood on the spiritual level of the orcs. The infiltration of evil power has made the originally martial orcs bloodthirsty and murderous, and the fanaticism is the extreme manifestation, which is why the orc attack invading Azeroth began to be confused after the attack was thwarted.
If Gul'dan were still alive, Orgrim would only need to get another cup of demonic blood from his men, and the horde army would be able to regroup and continue the alliance with Lothar until death.
But, however, alas, thankfully, Gul'dan is dead.
Orcs are slowly returning to their sanity.
Unfortunately, at this juncture, which is not good or bad, the army of the Alliance is closing in.
To make matters worse, the magic of the Black Dragon Legion bewitches some hungry orcs.
So Red. The Black Hand's plan was basically successful, and about 20,000 or so orcs hoped to join the Black Dragon Legion, get the protection of the Black Dragon, and obtain new powers to satisfy the hunger and thirst when the evil energy subsided.
And Orgrim, the man beloved by the Hammer of Doom, a rare wise man among the orcs, and a commander of both force and strategy, ignored this precisely because of his high personal strength.
Because Orgrim relied on his own willpower alone to resist the bloodthirsty impulse of applying demonic blood, and his skin was not even dyed green by evil energy.
So Orgrim took it for granted that all orcs should be like himself.
"Whatever Red is planning, it doesn't matter that much, feel it? With this boiling battle intent, the blood seemed to begin to burn. It seems that after returning from the other side of the strait, I was troubled by many affairs, and I ran around to unify the people. Orcs, after all, should fight, give orders, and prepare to advance head-on! ”
Orgrim knew that with the few men he had now, it would be difficult to break through the strong fortresses built by the humans.
But the desire to fight spurred him on, and a long-lost pride came to his heart, and the tribe gladly accepted the Grand Chief's orders.
"The Hammer of Doom is singing, what a rare occurrence!"
Orgrim's ego still clouded his eyes and his heart.
The pleasure of the Hammer of Destruction does not come from the cheering up of the orcs, as an artifact forged by the fire elemental spirits of the Draenor world, it is naturally very sensitive to the power of the fire elemental. The Hammer of Doom is excited by the approach of the fire elemental plane of the world of Azeroth, and has foreshadowed Orgrim.
However, Orgrim would have been mistaken for believing that the Hammer of Doom was eager to fight.
So, the fierce battles revolved around the war fortresses of the Alliance.
The Alliance's armies are gradually moving closer to the fortress, and the outer fortifications are gradually being eaten away by the orcs. But Lothar was not in a hurry at all, and was even very satisfied with the situation.
30,000 alliances and 50,000 tribes, this is a full 80,000 soldiers, and the place around the war fortress can't be used at all, don't look at the excitement of the battle now, the soldiers on both sides who are really in the line of fire will not add up to 10,000. If the orcs want to advance to the outer walls of the fortress, they will have to break through at least three lines of defense. And the Union soldiers, who rely on the fortifications for defense, will fight a very beautiful exchange ratio. It is very cost-effective to trade steel and rock, as well as a small amount of blood, for a large number of orc casualties.
Ci is not in charge of the army, and Lothar is very satisfied with such a battle.
On the first day, until it was completely dark, and the horde's roundabout troops had only covered two-thirds of the way, and the main force led by Orgrim was at least five kilometers away from the wall where Lothar stood.
Neither the Union nor the Horde attempted a night raid.
Because the battle has just begun, everyone is not in a hurry.
After a night's rest, the battle continued after dawn.
Reed. The Black Hand led his troops out of the Blackstone Tower, met with stubborn resistance from Uther, but even the Lightbringer was unable to stop so many orcs. So Uther detonated the pre-planted explosives before the troops collapsed, temporarily sealing up Red. The path of the black hand left time for Lothar to deploy his troops.
Reed. The appearance of the black hand as promised, greatly boosted the morale of the orcs.
But Lothar was neither surprised nor panicked, and still calmly commanded the troops to fight.
As long as this war fortress still stands on the ground, the orcs do not return the same weight of flesh and blood, and they do not want to ask the alliance for any benefits.
So almost at the same time, Anduin. Lothar and Ogrim. The Hammer of Doom issued the same order: ask for reinforcements.
War is brutal, war is beautiful, and its unique aesthetic of violence stimulates the participants, from sight, sound, smell, touch and even taste, all of which are cathartic.
In just one and a half days, Tulayan seemed to be back in the Hillbride Hills, back to the most difficult time, as if most of the half-year rest was just a dream.
Tired, but not painful.
As Lotsa's adjutant, Tulayan did not often stay at the Generalissimo's side. Because he always represents the authority of Lothar in the most urgent places of battle, he adds a bargaining chip called the alliance to the balance of victory and defeat with his superb command skills and superior martial arts.
So, just when everyone, humans, orcs, was doing their best for this war game, named Carlos. Barov's men are leading the remaining death squads to their lives in the underground passages thousands of meters deep.
The end is not yet coming, the end is coming.
The Hydahya Water Elemental was overdone, and the giant Water Elemental named Hydaxia was even more fanatical to the point of speechlessness.
Originally, Carlos thought that the power hedge between the water element and the fire element was nothing more than a conflict between water and fire, creating a large amount of water vapor.
However, Khadgar controlled the small living water elemental and arrived at the lava lake, only to give a warning before passing out.
"How far to run, how far to run."
It was Khadgar's last warning before he fell unconscious.
No one would ignore Khadgar's warning, so the whole team sprang into action.
But not fast enough.
After a brief lull, Carlos finally understood what Khadgar had foreseen.
Or what the hell did the water element of Hidahya do?
From the very beginning, the giant water elemental Hyda Garcia had never thought of a battle of elemental power between the material world and the fire element. Even with the Storm Altar as a connecting node, the Hydaxia Water Elemental Legion would not be able to compete with the Fire Demon King on Ragnaros' home turf. So Hyda Garcia decided to give the fire elementals a hand.
It's a disservice.
Whether it was the idea of the giant water elemental himself or the plans of the higher levels of the water elemental of Haidahya, Carlos's operation succeeded.
Hyda Garcia annihilated his elemental core, and the majestic power of the water elemental caused a violent shock of the Molten Heart. Ragnaros was no stranger to the power of the water elemental in his old rival, and the Fire Demon King mocked the insignificance and powerlessness of his opponent while speeding up the speed at which the Molten Heart invaded the material plane.
So, the King of the Fire Demon was put on the table.
The power of the water elemental did not choose to directly confront the power of the fire element, but instead immersed itself in the earth. The red-hot magma was rapidly cooled, and the river of magma, which was the carrier of power, quickly solidified into a river of iron, and the heart of the molten fire, which had no fixed shape, was imprisoned in the depths of the earth by a hard shell.
Quenching, the word Carlos can think of is quenching. The heart of the molten fire is solidified deep in the earth's crust.
Ragnaros succeeded and failed.
The Molten Heart has indeed succeeded in connecting the fire elemental plane with the physical world of Azeroth.
But the solidified half-plane is still a few kilometers away from the surface of Azeroth.
And with a large amount of crustal materials being consumed due to the solidification of the power of water and fire, huge stratum cavities have been formed and continue to expand.
The more angry Ragnaros became, the more he unleashed his might, the stronger the Molten Heart's shell became, the more rocky dirt it consumed, the larger the cavity in the ground, and the faster the Molten Heart settled.
What is an earthquake, the agitation of plate movements is nothing but the shaking of the earth from side to side.
The result of the combined action of the water and fire elements is indeed the rapid settlement of the earth.
The rocks and dirt above the heart of the molten fire are constantly falling under gravity, filling the void, and the stability of the earth's crustal plates is greatly weakened.
Carlos sensed all of this through the power of the Light, and fled for his life, if he and his death squad didn't want to be buried in the earth and turned into fossils.
As the burning plains of the earth's surface, the fierce battles have left the two warring sides with no time to pay attention to the anomalies of the earth.
In the absence of the guardian of the earth, the king of the black dragon, and the activation of the rune tower by the previous guardian, Egwen, to weaken the power of the earth, the giant water elemental Hyda Garcia, who was about to annihilate his form, burst out with the last of his power, inducing the last impact of the water elemental plane, and then vanished in front of the onlookers at the Storm Altar.
After that, there was a strong earth tremor.
At the top of the Blackstone Tower, Nefarian felt all this, and even didn't care about continuing to pretend to be sick to test the center of the legion, and hurried to the control center left by his father to stabilize the entire Blackstone Mountain.
The Black Dragon Prince's actions have paid off, and the legacy of Nesario has ensured that the Black Stone Tower will not collapse due to changes in the earth. It's just that such actions have exacerbated the turmoil in the land.
Thus, the sight that was only circulated in the mouth of the bard appeared on the Burning Plains.
"I saw the earth crack, I saw the smoke of gunpowder fill the sky, the sun loses its brilliance, and the birds and animals go extinct."
In scientific terms, this is a deep tectonic/collapse complex earthquake.
Carlos, one of the initiators, was busy running for his life underground.
Successfully stopping Ragnaros' death squads from running underground in pain and pleasure, trying to find a way to the surface before the underground passage was destroyed by the earthquake.
The soldiers of the Alliance who fought on the surface were attacked by the fear of the unknown.
Simply, the same goes for orcs.
