Chapter 267: The Demon Ancient Clan's Response
Elwyn Forest, Westspring Fortress. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
It was nearly midnight and it was pitch black. The heavier rainstorm seemed to prophesy the coming storm.
Suddenly, a dazzling bolt of lightning pierced the sky, and the fangs of the lightning pierced the hill east of the Westspring Fortress, and in that momentary light as bright as day, all the exhausted defenders on the city wall saw the nightmarish scene outside the city:
The ground was crowded with blue-and-white figures, some tall, some short, some with fangs, some with pointed ears, and the Alliance soldiers were fully armed and holding high tower shields made of fine iron, slowly approaching the Xiquan Fortress with an unstoppable momentum.
The soldiers of the Alliance of the Seven Ethnic Groups surrounded the walls of the city without leaks, and the Mogu defenders of the West Spring Fortress were faced with a sea of murderous and hostile intent.
Lightning rolled in the sky, and the torrential rain fell mercilessly.
The rain of arrows was as dense as a heavy rain and aimed at the fortress, and although most of them were blocked by the strong battlements and shields, a small number of them still hit the target accurately, and the Mogu soldiers who were hit by the strong crossbows were killed in an instant.
Dazzling lightning repeatedly tore through the darkness under the rain curtain, and the human soldiers who came like a tidal wave did not say a word, but the sound of a series of weapons striking was deafening, while hundreds of dwarven crossbowmen and a group of Night Elf rangers were more vigorous in throwing javelins and arrows at any moving target in the fortifications, as a long-range suppression.
A piercing horn sounded, followed by the roar of battle of the human soldiers, blessed by the heroic will of the mage, and hundreds of human soldiers brandished axes and war hammers and hurried towards the fortress.
Behind them, more human soldiers charged forward with great vigour, and the insignia of the Alliance Lion King on each helmet and shield was very glaring under the light of lightning.
"Woo woo...... woo woo ......"
The horn of the charge sounded one after another, and a group of heavily armed pandaren warriors rushed out, holding high their huge shields like rooftops to shield the Mogu clan's counterattack, and in the protection of the layers of shields, spears pierced the Mogu soldiers' chests.
A group of Night Elf archers appeared behind the team, and they suppressed the Mogu defenders to the death.
Under this all-round suppression, the Mogu defenders were soon forced back to the center of the fortress by the endless alliance warriors, and could only support it, but after half an hour's effort, the defenders of the Xiquan Fortress, who were absolutely inferior in numbers, were already on the verge of collapse.
It seemed that in just ten minutes, maybe twenty minutes, the Westspring Fortress would be back in the Coalition's hands.
This made the Mogu defenders extremely anxious.
"Tell the Four Kings! Let them send troops from Shining Gold to support us, or else the Westspring Fortress will be reassigned to the Alliance tonight. ”
Under the powerful offensive of the alliance army, the commander of Duyang in the current Xiquan Fortress said anxiously to the scouts.
"Duyang is right, we must ask the Four Kings for help, send out all the scouts who are still in the Xiquan Fortress, and we must let the Four Kings know that we have been attacked as soon as possible."
In the conference hall in the center of the fortress, Gu Fei, who had always been at odds with Duyang, took the initiative to support Duyang, which showed the fierceness and difficulty of the war.
The Four Kings were stationed in Shining Gold Town, while the descendants of the King of Thunder and Lightning, Duyang, Jiufei and other royal descendants were stationed in the Xiquan Fortress, compared to the Four Kings, their troops were much smaller and their equipment was poorer, and they could not stop the Alliance's attack at all.
"That's right, now the alliance's offensive is much weaker than before, and the problem of the decline in combat power caused by long-term combat has been highlighted, so it's the right time to send scouts to report the news!"
Soon, the Mogu generals decided on this.
It's a pity that they don't know at all, everything is in the hands of the Alliance.
……
The Mogu scouts quietly left the West Spring Fortress from the tunnel as ordered, and the scouts went to Shining Gold Town.
"You mean the Alliance Knights broke through the defenses on the perimeter of the Westspring Fortress? And stormed the fortress? ”
When the Four Kings received the news, the Witch King Yongying Zhiti pulled his blue and purple beard on his chin, and asked with a gloomy face, "What the hell is going on?" Why haven't we received a single message! Also, why hasn't the grain and grass supplies that were supposed to be delivered to Shining Gold Town a week ago been delivered here until now! ”
In front of a great member of the Demon Ancient Empire like the Witch King, a scout replied respectfully: "We haven't received any news before, and the Alliance's actions this time are very covert. ”
"Damn it!" The scout's answer made the Mad King Meng En very dissatisfied, he frowned, and said with a little anxiety: "How many soldiers has the Alliance sent to attack the Xiquan Fortress, and how is the battle now?" ”
"According to our observations, there seem to be 5,000 soldiers distributed in the outer area of the Xiquan Fortress, which is an allied army composed of humans and other major races, and the combat strength is very strong."
The scout thought for a moment, and quickly gave an answer.
"As for the battle situation, when we left, the perimeter of the Xiquan Fortress had already been conquered, and the battle situation was extremely unfavorable for us."
"A bunch of rubbish!"
The scout's answer made the war king Qi Ang very dissatisfied, his eyes flashed with anger, a killing thought came to his mind, he looked at the other three and said, "The alliance and the fight against us are coming, let's get ready to fight!" The Alliance must not be allowed to swallow the Westspring Fortress! ”
"That's right!"
Turning his head to look at Qi Ang beside him, the Mad King Meng's eyes flashed with a chilling light.
"Wait, I have one more thing to ask before I send out the troops."
The thief king Subutai finally spoke, looking at the famous king, the scout's face showed a hint of caution.
"We don't have much armament, and the matter of armaments and materials is in charge of the Xiquan Fortress, and from a week ago to now, we have not received any supplies, I want to ask about this matter clearly!" The King of Thieves said coldly.
"Commander of Subutai, we also sent a team on time to send the grain and grass that was supposed to be sent to Shanjin Town, but it was taken away by the alliance forces on the way, in fact, just a day ago, General Black Wind Mountain Horror personally escorted the grain and grass, but he also seemed to have been attacked."
"Mountain horror?"
The thief king's brows furrowed slightly, and on the side, the mad king muttered thoughtfully:
"It seems that the war has reached the point of extreme crisis, and the herald has informed him to prepare to go to the Xiquan Fortress to support."
With the mad king's order, a group of demon ancient soldiers and heralds carrying command flags all gathered around him, and at the same time, the war king Qi Ang, the witch king Ti'an, and the thief king Subutai also passed down the order.
