Chapter 20: The Eagle of Stratholme (Part II)

Perhaps because the first tower had been breached, and when the Ash Inquisitors rushed to the second tower, a large number of undead had already gathered here.

Evil crypt demons patrol the perimeter of the tower, and necromancers are using black magic to cover the entire tower in a thick fog.

"Stop them!"

Ares roared, and rushed forward with his sword.

Behind him, the paladins and warriors of the Brotherhood of Light also rushed forward.

But this time, the raid became difficult.

Before they could reach the bottom of the tower, the half-spider, half-beetle crypt demons met them.

They roared and charged, and the mournful murmur of insects emanated from their misshapen bellies, like an elegy to death. In an instant, everyone's hearts seemed to stop beating. But this feeling quickly dissipated, and the priesthood applied a spiritual fire to each warrior. Light dispels evil.

Soon, the two people collided and fought together.

And although there are not many of these crypt demons, their combat power is still amazing. Their massive bodies rampaged through the human army, knocking paladins flying and stabbing their hard legs into the warrior's body, hooking out the internal organs. Terrifying bug whispers spread throughout the battlefield.

The muffled roar, the piercing screams of the spiders, filled the ears.

Ares saw a veteran of the Ash Inquisition besieged by several Scourge spiders, the sticky silk instantly wound around him, and then several demon spiders stretched out their disgusting forelimbs, stabbing the human veteran wrapped in the cobwebs, and scarlet blood flowed down the white cobwebs......

"Keep attacking!"

But Ares couldn't retreat, and if he retreated at this time, all his previous efforts would be in vain.

At the call of the High Lord, the Brotherhood of Light and the Ash Inquisitors continue to storm the spider colony. The psychic tower not far away had been completely hidden in the mist, leaving only the green pillar of light that fell from the sky, and Ares didn't even know how many undead would emerge from it.

Watching the warriors being assassinated by these scourge spiders one by one, finally, Gianna couldn't help it.

I saw that on the battlefield filled with blood mist, countless hoarfrost spread from Gianna's body, and the archmage's side became colder and colder, and finally, in the extremely cold temperature, the moisture in the air began to freeze. Countless snowflakes fell from the sky. No, it's not snowflakes, Ares can see clearly, it's obviously hail!

Hailstones the size of fists fell from the sky and fell into the swarm of scourge spiders. Snowstorm! It was the first time Ares had seen this kind of mass destruction spell, but its difficulty and lethality were beyond Ares's imagination.

Those catastrophic spiders, one by one, were smashed in the head by the hailstones falling at high speed, piercing the carapace, to be exact, this is not an ordinary hailstone, it carries powerful magical energy, like an ice arrow, can pierce the hard carapace! At the same time, Gianna recited the spell again, and a frost blade appeared behind her, the crystal staff flashed with a brilliant blue light, and the next moment, the ice arrow roared past, flying towards the scourge spider in front of her.

In an instant, the situation was reversed.

Ares finally understood why the combat power of a high-level mage was worth a legion! In Azeroth, the number of mages is very small, and priests who sincerely perceive the Holy Light can feel a trace of the Holy Light to a greater or lesser extent, however, people who are not qualified enough, even if they are buried in a magic book for the rest of their lives, may not be able to master a little magic. It takes talent.

As the Scourge Spider dispersed, Ares once again ordered a large army to rush and kill.

Push forward! Keep moving!

The warriors in the front row, under the orders of the high lord, approached the psychic tower. No amount of fog could stop the Brotherhood from attacking. As soon as Ares stepped into the door of the tower, the ghoul pounced on him and was stabbed in the mouth by Ares' sword. When he pulled it out, disgusting blood splattered Ares in the face......

The green of the tower bubbled with warm bubbles, and it was clear that the rapid teleportation of undead creatures caused the temperature inside the tower to rise dramatically, and the heat was expelled through the green water.

But now, the urgency of the battle suppressed Ares' curiosity. The soldiers of the Ash Judgment have moved fuel into the tower. Those dead bodies can be used as combustibles and ignited together. Destroy the tower completely.

……

"Well done, brothers, we have managed to destroy two psychic towers, and now, only the last one remains. Cheer up, victory is just around the corner! ”

Wiping the blood stains on his face, Ares raised his sword and shouted to the warriors beside him.

But Gianna was worried and grabbed Aresβ€”

"Ares, look around, our casualties are also heavy, and the point is, the fighters are exhausted. Two of the Psychic Towers have already been attacked, and the third is the last teleportation point for the Scourge Legion, and they will definitely be guarded by a key force. With our current forces, we are powerless to attack it. ”

Gianna was also tired, and Ares knew that the blizzard just now had consumed most of her mana. No matter how powerful a magician is, he needs to rest and replenish his strength. Ares knows this, which means that in the next battle, Gianna may have a hard time using any effective spells. It's good to be able to protect yourself.

"But we can't give up, and we're left with the last psychic tower. Destroy it, and Stratholme will be completely surrounded by us. The Scarlet Crusaders and Silver Dawn have launched a general assault on the city, this is a Jedi War, and if the last portal tower of the Scourge is not closed, the blood of the warriors will be shed in vain, and all the sacrifices made before will be meaningless! ”

Holding Gianna's weak shoulder, Ares said solemnly.

At the moment, there is no time to hesitate, no time to think about taking care of Gianna's mood. The general offensive has begun, and time is of the essence.

"Honey, you stay here, I let Eligor and Whitemayne be with you, the battle ahead is very dangerous, I will not allow you to be injured."

With that, Ares turned his gaze back to the crowd in front of him again. Tired warriors and priests, bloodstained paladins, all gathered around Ares at this moment. Waiting for another order from their High Lord.

Gianna was about to say something, but was stopped by Ares.

He turned to face the warriors of the Brotherhood of Light and the Ash Inquisition.

"Brothers, we know you're tired and scarred, and so am I. However, this final battle is related to our future and the lives of thousands of people on the front line. So, we have to keep fighting! With faith and determination, our loved ones and loved ones are still living in exile in the plague land. Gather your courage and we will fight to the death against the undead of the natural scourge on this land! This last battle! ”

Ares roared, and light rose from him again. Illuminates every inch of the surrounding land.
