Chapter Twenty-Three: The Battle of the Dark Furnace
The lava fell from a great height, pouring a flaming waterfall, and the boiling magma river was at his feet, stepping on the wide black iron avenue of the Darkforge City, Ares led the Copperbeard Legion of the Ironforge Fortress to charge all the way. Behind them was an army of black-pressed copperbeards, roaring and charging, tirelessly, with high morale, constantly slashing down the Black Iron warriors who resisted in the road.
However, passing through one gate after another, Ares faintly saw a dark red glow emanating from the innermost gate. Like the magma beneath the ground, the churning magma reflected the dark red firelight.
Soon, a terrifying whisper rang out from the end of the Thorion Bridge. It wasn't like a mortal voice, it was more like ...... Whispers of the elements......
Ares's worries, and what all the Ironforge warriors feared the most, happened-
Darkfurnace City is the stronghold of the Black Iron Dwarves, and it is also the place where the Fire Demon King Ragnaros enslaves the Black Iron Dwarves.
When the first fire elemental walked out from behind the gate, Ares saw its face...... It has no head and legs and feet, and its upper body is made up of flames and rocks, and the lower body. The half body was a swirling air current, and the fire elementals were suspended in the air like this, like children of hell, looking down on this group of mortal creatures with a tall body.
The leading fire elemental floated towards the bridge, flames sizzling around it, making bursting sounds. Even the copperbearded dwarves who have been dealing with flames for a long time can't help but be intimidated by the heat. They held their strong shields, but they did not dare to step forward, and everyone gathered and crowded on the bridge. He stared at the Fire Elemental Lord on the other side.
In the next second, just as the Copperbeard Dwarves did not dare to step forward to attack, the fire elementals had already taken the lead and launched an attack......
Flames erupted from the fire elemental's body like a boiling heat wave, and then swooped down on Ares and the bronzebeard dwarven legion beside him.
"No!"
I only heard the frightened shouts of the warriors of Ironforge beside them, they instinctively hid their bodies behind the shield, and Ares also hurriedly raised his sword, and the holy light gathered in a very short time, forming a barrier of light.
In the next second, a rain of flames fell from the sky, and the impact of flames on the ground followed. Like a purgatory on earth, the entire Copperbeard Dwarf Position instantly turned into a sea of fire......
The dense crowd made it impossible for most of the Copperbeard Dwarves to escape, some were squeezed off the bridge by their injured and scurrying companions, falling into the underground lava below, and others were squeezed into the crowd and burned beyond recognition.
Only a few dwarves hiding beside Ares were protected from the rain of flames by the barrier of light.
"We must retreat, we cannot stop this force......"
The Copperbeard soldiers shouted in terror, the smell of burnt flesh filling the air, and the screams of the dwarves echoed through the underground city. Ares now understood the horror of the Copperbeard Dwarves in the face of this terrible force two hundred years ago, and why the black-iron dwarves, who had always been stubborn and resilient, were willing to be enslaved. With only a few fire elements in front of him, he had beaten a whole team of dwarven regulars to pieces, and the real king of fire demons could not be dealt with by ordinary dwarves.
Arrin was about to pull back even as he grabbed Ares's armor, and the dwarves were already burned to the ground by the flames, and they were terrified.
But is this what Ares wants? So many warriors from Ironforge Fort have traveled thousands of miles to come here, overcome one danger after another, and finally get here, but now they have to retreat? What about Reginald? The future of Stormwind, the future of the Alliance, the future of Lordaeron, and the future of the warriors who stand in the Chapel of Light's Wish, their future......
For a moment, thousands of thoughts rushed into Ares' mind.
The ash bringer in his hand also seemed to be responding to the call of his master, and the white holy light crystal on the blade of the sword was glowing, a completely different fire from blowing the dwarf, but a pure shattered holy light rage.
In an instant, a pure white light bloomed from Ares. When he held his sword again, Ares raised his sword alone and charged.
Witnessing countless dark and terrifying creatures, a few fire elements in front of him are nothing. At the very least, they're much better looking than the Scourge abominations, spiders......
The fire elemental whispered, the body full of flames was pumping more flame energy, and the next moment, another wave of flame heat hit, but this time, the hellish flames did not cause any damage to the paladin in front of him. The Light responded to Ares, forming an impenetrable shield of light in him.
Facing the onslaught of flames, the Ember Bringer roared through the air.
I saw that in the rolling flames, a golden arc flashed, and the fire elemental guard in front of him was suddenly split in half by the golden holy sword. The body wrapped in flames collapsed with a bang, and the flames that burst out of the cracks in the stone were being extinguished.
Time seems to freeze. Not only the fire elemental guards, but also the dwarves looked at the scene in front of them in amazement - steel can defeat elemental creatures! Ares's sword was more than just a kill of a fire elemental guard, it once again boosted the confidence of the Brassbeard Legion.
The morale of the Ironforge Warriors, who were still retreating, was suddenly high.
"Kill it! What are you waiting for? ”
"We will pay the debt with blood!"
The roar came again, and behind me, I saw a group of bronze-bearded infantry marching at a chaotic pace, facing the elemental guards of Darkfurnace City, charging frantically.
Now, it was the turn of the fire elemental to retreat...... Their strength is far superior to that of the dwarves, but they are completely outnumbered.
As long as the dwarves overcome their fears, a few fire elemental guards will not be able to enslave thousands of dwarves at all.
Following the charge of Ares, the other dwarves of the Copperbeard Legion rushed forward with a roar, those arrogant fire elementals, who were still proudly mocking these so-called flesh mortals one moment ago, but the next second, they were pushed down by hundreds of Dwarves of Ironforge Fortress, trampled under their feet...... The Copperbeard Dwarve's warhammer fell like iron on the fire elemental guards. The stone body wrapped in flames was smashed to pieces. Sparks splashed and landed on the last gate of Darkfurnace.
Ares roared and lifted the Ember Bringer aloft, and the elemental guard in front of him unexpectedly ran away...... If it had legs...... However, in the next second, when the air flow had not yet supported the fire elemental to retreat, the giant sword in the paladin's hand had already fallen into the air, and a sword split the fire elemental's body wrapped in flames......
