Chapter 39: The Hellfire Attack and Defense (Part I)

"What? How can you let her go down alone? ”

When the Stalker team returns to the camp to report the information, Ares grabs the thief by the collar and snarls at him.

Worries and anxieties plagued Ares, and the hellfire fortress in the distance stood like the devil's jaws on the dry red earth.

"Varian, attack, we must attack this fortress!"

Overcome by anxiety and anger, Ares made the decision to attack the Hellfire Fortress as a whole. Anyway, the Stalkers have already marked the basic route.

At the same time, Varian supports the decision. Browl and Valera are his comrades in life and death, he is a king and a warrior who must not abandon his comrades.

With the thieves drawing a road map, Varian and Ares decided on the line of attack on the spot. Stormwind's main forces feinted to attack the Hellfire Fortress from the front, and the Paladins led the Lordaeron Blood Elf coalition into the castle through the side gate, rushing to the place where Valera and Brower disappeared as soon as possible. Slay the orc leader of the Hellfire Fortress.

The two sides agreed to meet in the Hall of the Blood Forge Hall.

In less than two hours, the main army of the alliance was assembled and marched towards the Hellfire Fortress. At the same time, the Knights led by Ares and the Ranger troops of Sylvanas also galloped on the plateaus on both sides of the valley, and the Knights of the Hammer provided the latest information from the air to support the Knights and the Ranger in their battles.

Air, ground, and three-way armies are closing in on the largest orc fortress on the Hellfire Peninsula.

Looking at Ares' anxious appearance, Sylvanas couldn't help but feel a deep guilt in her heart, a week ago, it was her overly cautious advice that allowed the Alliance to send Stalkers in to investigate the situation first, which led to Valeera's disappearance. It can be said that in this matter, although he was not the one who directly contributed to Valeera's disappearance, he also indirectly contributed to Valeera's disappearance...... At the same time, Sylvanas also felt a pang of distress when he saw that Ares was so anxious and worried about Valera, once this man was so concerned about himself and for himself, but now, he cared about another female elf in the same way......

"Sister, there is the entrance to the fortress ahead."

At this moment, Winlessa let out a loud cry, relieving Sylvanas from her trance. They looked at the massive castle rising from the horizon, took a deep breath, and ordered their troops to quicken their pace.

A few minutes later, the front of the Hellfire Fortress was filled with the sound of artillery fire. The large forces of the alliance began to attack the city. The dwarven artillery lined up and carpet-bombarded the Hellfire fortress.

The dust and deafening sound of artillery signalled an unusual siege, with dwarven artillery bombarding the orc's tall castle in almost a frenzied manner. Thunderous explosions resounded over Hellfire Castle. Before the orc guards could react, the huge walls of Hellfire had been blown to smits and dust.

"It can't be!"

The Orc Guards let out an exclamation as they had tried countless times to prove that the Hellfire Castle was impregnable, however, cracks began to appear in the impregnable castle under the onslaught of the Alliance artillery. Countless red dust fell from above the city walls, staining the orc laborers who repaired the castle into red clay figures.

At the same time, a terrible scream rang out from the sky, and it was countless griffons of the Alliance soaring across the sky, almost in a neat formation, launching the first round of bombardment of the Hellfire Castle.

"Shoot them down!"

The castle guard roared. The orc archers stood on their sentry posts and shot upwards, but the griffon's attack was so swift that an incendiary bomb developed by the gnome was thrown at the Hellfire wall, and in an instant, the entire Hellfire wall was ablaze with fierce flames.

Like a giant serpent, the flames quickly spread across the entire front, and many orc archers were consumed by the fierce flames before they could draw their bows.

The orc archers standing on the sentry were even smashed in the head with a hammer from a low-flying griffin knight. The Storm Hammer rained down from the castle and slammed into the orc archers like a small lightning storm, purple arcs of lightning filling every inch of air between the griffons and the walls of Hellfire.

At the same time, the main forces of the alliance are approaching the bottom of the Hellfire fortress step by step. Viewed from above the castle, it looks like a huge blue phalanx, standing neatly in front of the castle.

"Guards, throw! Throw boulders and smash them! ”

Gagoma, the general of the Hellfire Wall Guard, yelled.

On the central projectile platform above the castle gate, dozens of orc catapults creaked into operation, and the orc warriors carried heavy stones to the projectiles, and before they had time to ignite the fire, dozens of catapults threw the boulders out at the same time.

The art of war belonging to the tribe.

More than 30 boulders were thrown from the sky, and a terrible scene appeared in the sky. The boulders thrown by the orc catapults and the cannonballs fired by the alliance artillery flew staggered in the air, and in the next second, the positions of both sides were splashed with a rain of blood, and the bloody orc warriors fell from the city wall, and the alliance warriors were also smashed beyond recognition by the boulders.

Then, before the orc warlocks in the castle could reach the top of the city walls, the Alliance's heavy artillery had already blasted open the main gate of the Hellfire Fortress! More than a dozen giant cannons opened fire almost simultaneously, shattering the entire city gate to pieces.

The alliance soldiers suddenly let out a deafening shout.

"No...... It couldn't be ......."

The orc defender Gagoma's eyes widened, and he was incredulous at the scene before him.

He saw a massive number of Alliance hoplites rushing towards the gates of the castle in an almost frenzied manner, the moment the city was broken.

Commander of the Alliance forces and King Varian of Stormwind. Wryon even led the charge himself.

"No, he's a madman! Definitely a crazy ......"

Gagoma exclaimed, he had seen the bravest orc chieftain, and he was not like the commander of the Alliance, a king, personally leading the charge? A king............ Gagoma thought silently in his heart.

But soon, the evil orcs also recovered from the blow, and under the organization of the warlocks, a large number of evil orc troops flocked to the main gate of the Hellfire Fortress, and the orc tribe, which was good at attacking, became the defensive side at this moment. They placed their humble shields on their chests and roared like beasts.

Inside the entire Hellfire Fortress, a mixture of dark red and dark green light appeared, and in this red and green light, the figure of the orc army gradually appeared......
