Chapter 265: The Battle of the Chapel
The Chapel of the Light's Wish, where legendary paladins from all of Lordaeron are buried. Their heroic spirits have been resting here for hundreds of years and have never been disturbed, but today, the Calamity Legion sees their potential and wants to resurrect them all to become an army of Death Knights composed entirely of legendary heroes.
Under the Scourge attack led by the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse and the Ice Dragon Saffron, only the courtyard wall of the Chapel was left as the last line of defense.
The Alliance forces and the Silver Dawn and Scarlet Crusaders widened and strengthened the walls, all armed to defend them.
Old Verding clenched the hammer in his hand that had returned to the power of the Holy Light and looked at the black pressure of the natural disaster under the city walls, and the huge pressure overwhelmed him.
Baron Maxwell stood beside Old Ferdin, looked at the old friend, and said, "Don't worry too much, Tirio, I just received the news that the tribe has solved the siege of Stratholme and is now nervously rushing here. As long as we hold on for two more days, they will feel it. The heroic spirits of the heroes will not be disturbed! ”
Old Verding let out a sigh of relief and said, "Maxwell, I'm afraid it's going to be hard for us to hold out for two days. Look at these injured children, can they withstand even a little bit of injury again? Our strength is too weak in the face of natural disasters! ”
"Tirio, why are you so pessimistic? What if we all die in battle? As long as we fight for what we believe in, there is no enemy we cannot defeat! Maxwell comforted Old Verding.
"Old friend, if things don't go right, you take these children and evacuate to Quel'Salas in the northwest. Save the meaning incense for Lordaeron and Silver Dawn! Old Verding said.
Maxwell nodded in agreement and turned down to put his army in order to meet another wave of attacks that were coming.
"Father, what are you worried about?" Tyran walked over to his father's side and put on a cloak for him.
"Tyran, I have a hunch that this scourge is destined to succeed. Several of them have extremely strong energy fluctuations, and with perverted aerial units like ice dragons and gargoyles, our defenses will be vulnerable. Old Verding voiced his concerns to his son.
"Don't worry, Great Lord! No matter how powerful the gargoyle is, can it still escape our mortar?! The dwarf engineer, who was on the ramparts with more than mortars, said confidently.
"Not bad! We also have griffon knights, who were defeated by red-faced dragons back then, and now they are even more vulnerable to dealing with these ice dragons who have come back from the dead! Marcus, the leading human general, said.
"Not bad! We must not give up hope at any time! Old Verding didn't know if it was because of the words of a few people, or because of something else.
"Tell everyone, cheer up, and prepare to fight to the death against the natural disaster!" Old Verding's order was given, and everyone rushed to execute it.
……………………………………………………
The Scourge Legion, the Great Tent of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.
The Death Knight Alessandros Mograine, Ser Serrijek, Duchess Braumus, and Lord Kurtaz are deliberating on how to attack the Chapel of Light's Wish and break humanity's last line of defense.
Mograine flashed his scarlet eyes and said in a cold voice, "Ladies and gentlemen, the task assigned to us by the master is almost complete. As long as we break through this last line of defense, we can gain the appreciation of our master and reach our peak. ”
Duchess Braumus laughed grimly, and an ethereal voice resounded throughout the tent: "Mograine, can you use your Ash Messenger to help me look at Tiriofodin's head?" ”
Mograini looked at the elven beauty in front of her, who was still beautiful even after her death, and did not know her intention in asking for the head of Old Verding.
"Briss! I don't need to be a fake person in my business. I'll settle accounts with the Foding family myself. Sir Serryek embraced Duchess Braumus from behind and said in a colder voice, but Mograine could hear the endless tenderness in his words.
"When it's time to attack, you're not allowed to rob me. I have heard that the Copperbeard tribe of Ironforge has arrived, and I will kill them all and make them my slaves. The voice of the dwarven death knight Lord Kurtaz said.
These once noble heroes are now here discussing how to deal with their former compatriots. They have completely forgotten their glory as humans, elves, dwarves, and knights. All that's left is hatred and selfishness, and of course Sirjek and Braumus still have their feelings, but that's just for themselves.
The four of them were talking endlessly imagining and laughing. The huge energy is that the undead soldiers outside the account are crawling on the ground and shivering.
Suddenly, a gust of cold wind blew the tent of the four people overturned, and a huge frost dragon landed in front of the four of them.
"Seferon, are you looking for death!" Lord Kurtaz raised the rune axe in his hand and glared at the frost dragon Sepheron.
"Humph! Shorty, if you want to fight, I'll be with you to the end later. The task now is to fulfill the orders of Lord Kel'thugad. Sephelon glanced at Lord Kurtaz with contempt and said coldly.
"We were also discussing how to attack, and you interrupted us in the middle of the discussion!" Mograini was on the ground with the Ash Bringer, squinting his eyes and looking at Saffron defiantly.
As for Mograini's provocation, Safilon just didn't see it. He is a confidant of Kel'thugad, while Mograine is resurrected by Arthas, so in a sense they do not belong to the same master. Furthermore, Safilon did not think he could outright Mograini and the Ember Messenger in his hands.
So, Saffron rarely bowed his head and said, "I'm sorry! How are you going to attack? ”
"Now that there is only one wall left in the chapel to defend it, we are going to storm it. This saves you a lot of trouble. In response to Saffilon's bow, Mograini put away his anger and said the attack plan that had been determined.
"Very well, I'll harass them in the air with ice dragons and gargoyles to support your attack!" Saffron spread his wings and flew away.
"Humph! What a god, it's just a mount animal! Lord Kurtaz scolded.
"But they are Kel'thugad's mounts! However, as long as Lord Arthas successfully merges with his master and becomes the new Lich King, we don't have to fear this dog! Mograini said.
Serijek and Braumuss did not comment on what Mograine and Lord Kurtaz were saying about Saphiroon, as they were Kel'thugad's right-hand men.
A quarter of an hour later, under the command of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, the Scourge army began storming the walls of the chapel.
Although there are many Scourge soldiers, their attack power is not very strong. These skeletons and ghouls are rotting corpses and skeletons that have been temporarily summoned from the ground by necromancers, and have been buried in the ground for an unknown amount of time. As a result, these skeletons were all reduced to ashes when they encountered the Holy Light of the Paladin.
Soon, the Scourge had its strength reduced by three-quarters. However, the remaining quarter caused great damage to the chapel, and these remaining forces were all elite troops. They were all resurrected by natural disasters that resurrected the Wheel Soldiers and Scarlet Crusader Soldiers who were killed in battle.
When the knights of the Chapel discover that their Light cannot be killed with a single blow, that's when the nightmare strikes. The Scourge soldiers wielded their sharp skeletal arms and plunged mercilessly into the chests of the living, then pulled out the hearts of the goods and chewed them heavily.
In just ten minutes, all the defenders of the chapel below the sixth order were killed, and the rest were only struggling to support. If it weren't for the existence of high-level combat forces such as Old Fordin, Maxwell, Marcus, and Abydis, I'm afraid this wall would have been breached long ago.
Seeing that the attack was not progressing, Mograini roared angrily, "Saffron, what are you doing? Do you sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight? Aren't you afraid of the punishment of Lord Kel'thugad? ”
Mograine roared and was followed by two dragon roars in the air, and then a large number of gargoyles flew towards the chapel, and gargoyles unleashed plague and necromantic magic from the air to harass the defenders.
Although the gnome's mortar can knock down gargoyles, it is very weak against the large number of gargoyles.
A griffin knight of a man? Sorry, as soon as it came into contact, it was overwhelmed by gargoyles, the riders were eaten, and the poor griffon was resurrected as a skeleton griffon.
Old Verding looked at all this in despair, and was about to reach out and draw his dagger to kill himself, but he heard a cry from the southern sky.
The Hammer Dwarves of Eagle's Nest Mountain come to the aid with griffins! At this time, the pre-Tribal army also met with the Scourge army.
