Chapter 39: The Legion in the Mists (Part II)
"Here they are......"
"Ares, we must retreat, we can't stand alone against these Scourge forces until the armies of Stormwind arrive. They are the most powerful legion in Northrend. I've seen them in the Violet Eye of Dalaran. The quantity and quality of these natural disaster soldiers are far beyond the reach of you and me! ”
On the blood-stained battlefield, Luo Ning said worriedly. Although his spells could kill swaths of the undead, Ronin was helpless in the face of such an army of spiders, abominations, ghouls, zombies, and frost dragons.
"Retreat!"
When Anubarak and Sindragosa approached, Ares and Ronin came to an agreement. Even though Sylvanas and Jean still want to fight. But Ares knew the terrifying fighting power of these two behemoths. With the current strength of the expeditionary force, it is indeed not worth the risk.
At least let the tribe go first......
Ares calculated in his heart, and immediately gave the order for all troops to withdraw. The musket guards of Ironforge formed a rear line and began to cover the retreat of the coalition forces. The Hammer Dwarves are ready to fight the Frost Dragons to the death.
A serious and resolute expression appeared on the face of the Hammer Leader Vorstad. They have faced many opponents, but never been as strong as they are today. Sindragosa was the consort of the Blue Dragon King during his lifetime, and was resurrected by the Lich King after his death, becoming the most fearsome air power of the Scourge Legion. There is no doubt that in order to eliminate the Northern Expeditionary Army, Arthas has already taken out a trump card......
Behind Anubarak, patches of Nibul worms had already arrived. Like moving mountain peaks, thousands of half-spider creatures are stacked on top of each other and make creepy chirps. The sound was getting closer and closer, and the moving insect mountain swooped down on the position of the Northern Expeditionary Army in waves.
Even the most experienced veteran could not maintain complete composure under such a terrifying wave of insects.
"May the Light bless us!"
The old paladin prayed devoutly, and at this time, there was no other way for the human type than to pray for the Light.
The heavy infantry had already held their shields to their chests, and their spears were aimed at the massive army of Scourge in front of them.
Standing in front of the surging insect swarm and the Scourge army, for a moment, Sylvanas remembered the slaughter and destruction of Silvermoon City. After breaking through the defense line, the mudslide-like army of natural disasters razed the city to the ground in an instant. And now, how long can the Union Expeditionary Force resist? She couldn't help but sweat for Ares and these elven compatriots who participated in the Northern Expedition.
The arrow flew out of the Windranger's hand, however, like a pebble thrown into the ocean, it had little effect. After shooting several half-spider creatures, the swarm and ghouls crashed head-on into the Alliance's position.
The soldiers in the front row were pushed down and submerged almost instantly. The young and strong Union heavy infantry in the back row resisted the battle line to the death, so that the entire phalanx would not collapse......
Massive swarms of insects came overwhelmingly, accompanied by bursts of crazy roars, and countless spider legs slammed against the shield walls of the Alliance warriors, making a tinkling and tinkling sound.
Some of the soldiers who were not strong enough were lifted their shields and hooked out of the crowd. As soon as he was hooked into the spider army, he was slaughtered horribly. Dozens of pairs of spider legs pierced at the same time, like blade-like spider legs piercing into the armor and flesh of the soldiers, like a sponge that stores water, and the blood water was squeezed out of the body of the Alliance warrior, and those bloodthirsty beasts tore open his flesh with their sharp jaws, hooking out the internal organs......
The scene was bloody and disgusting. The recruits were already scared and their legs were weak, and the veterans mustered up the courage to carry the ......
In the sky, Sindragosa whistled by, letting out a terrifying roar. This height is unmatched by the Hammer Griffon. Furstad and his air knights could only wait for the moment when the Frost Dragon lowered its altitude and dived. The mental and physical torture almost broke down the officers and men of the expeditionary force.
"Inform Arlin that the battleships of Ironforge must be dispatched, otherwise the expeditionary force will be wiped out!"
Massive Scourge legions are pressing down on the Alliance Expeditionary Force like mountains. Like a tsunami coming from all sides, in a moment of crisis, Ares made temporary tactical adjustments. The herald received the order and rode his horse and galloped.
"Brother, you are here to hold the front. I'm going to command the Knights to break out of the Scourge Legion! ”
Glancing at the scene in front of him, Ares gave a second order urgently.
He didn't know if the soldiers on the front would be able to resist the attack, but they had to retreat as soon as possible anyway. The musketeers had climbed up the small plateau and fired a dense barrage of bullets at the Scourge legion in front of them.
On the front line, the Nibru insect king Anubarak slaughtered wildly, using multiple legs at the same time, piercing the body of the front-line soldier with a blade-like insect leg, and cutting off the soldier's head with a man-high claw. Blood gushed out like a fountain, staining the black carapace of the Beetle King a blood-red ...... It's terrifying.
In the air, countless dense dots began to appear, which were the skirmishers of the Scourge Legion, the undead gargoyles.
The dwarven musketeers and alliance archers hurriedly shifted their targets and fired into the sky. But it was too late, a large number of gargoyles smashed into the crowd frantically after passing through the dense barrage, the air was filled with the screams of the soldiers, many alliance soldiers were scratched by the gargoyles' claws, and more soldiers were directly grabbed from the ground by these undead monsters, caught in the air and fell hard, and when they fell to the ground, their limbs splashed everywhere......
With each passing minute, the losses of the expeditionary force increased.
Ares rushed through the periphery as fast as he could, however, the organization of the Knights also took time. The coalition forces can't afford to wait.
At the critical moment, in the center of the phalanx of heavy troops, a bright light lit up. This light was so dazzling that the undead troops on the periphery turned their heads one after another, not daring to look directly at this holy light. In an instant, in the middle of the battlefield, the wounded Alliance soldiers felt a burst of warmth in their backs, and a wave of vitality was instantly injected into their bodies, causing the wounds on their bodies to heal quickly.
Soon, this holy light rapidly expanded at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The Holy Light continued to flow through the crowd and reach the front line. Holy Light Barrier! Ariston understood that in the entire legion, in addition to his own ability to summon such a strong holy light, the other person was Whiteman. This pious priest is now on his way to the front to summon the Light with his devout faith. Whitemane stood in the center of the crowd, his hands held up to the sky, holy light pouring out of her like a spring.
A wave of holy light energy exploded from Whiteman's body, and the halo spread rapidly, and countless holy light energy healed the alliance warriors at the same time, it also caused a lot of divine damage to the undead creatures.
Bright light shone on the Coalition soldiers, and the Coalition priests around Whitemane collectively sang sacred hymns.
At this moment, endless holy light shrouded the battlefield, and a large area of holy light pierced the black clouds and shot straight into the earth. Form a holy place, a place where the undead cannot set foot!
"For Lordaeron!"
The Alliance warriors shouted, and the morale of the coalition forces was boosted again, and countless spears and swords slashed at the heavy carapace of the Nebru Worm and the rotting bodies of the Scourge zombies......
