Chapter 173: Retreat
Less than three kilometers away from Sylvanas' troops, it was the camp of King Varian's troops, and between the two camps were Gugar's most powerful men, the Twilight Cultists, King Varian's troops had just finished fighting them, although King Varian killed the enemy bravely, but his men suffered heavy losses, King Varian stared intently at the map of the Twilight Heights, motionless, looking through it.
"Your Majesty."
"Are the casualties counted?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, we have a total of 6 brothers dead, and there are still 23 brothers who cannot continue to fight, and only 11 brothers are left who can move on."
"Okay, I see, I ordered to send someone to ask for reinforcements immediately, what did the captured prisoner say?"
For this reinforcement, King Varian specially brought several MI7 agents, one for reconnaissance and the other for interrogating prisoners. MI7's interrogation capabilities, if it were called second in the Eastern Kingdom, would be the first in the world.
"Your Majesty, we probably know the size of the enemy, and they seem to believe in an ancient god called 'Cthun', which is also the power that Cthun has bestowed on them."
"Cthun? Do you know what kind of god it is? β
"Back to Your Majesty, I don't know."
Varian frowned, "You go on. β
"Yes. They are mainly divided into three types of people, the top is the tank, they are collectively known as Twilight Venerable, they will recover 3 points of health per minute, and increase 1 point of armor, because of their short size is not good to attract targets, so they stand in the front, melee combat; The largest number of believers called Cthun, they are composed of various races, the purple magic ball they played, 1 minute cooldown, will cause 1 point of damage, but if you are attacked by the purple magic ball again, the damage will increase by 1 point, the upper limit is 5 points, plus the large number of people, the damage is extremely terrifying; The last few are the Priests, known as the Evil Summoner, who can summon a purple evil spirit that restores 2 life to Cthun's followers and 3 life to Twilight Venerable, as well as a 1 minute cooldown. β
"Is this evil spirit a one-off?"
"That's right, Your Majesty. Although their individual strength is not very strong, but together, it is really a little tricky, according to the captive, they have a total of 10 Twilight Venerables, 30 Cthun's believers and 5 evil spirit summoners, after the battle just now, the Twilight Venerable was killed or injured one or two, but Cthun's believers were definitely more than half killed and wounded, and the evil spirit summoner was too far back to attack. β
"Are these the only ones?"
"No, king," he said...... And their chief came. β
Varian was surprised and asked, "Gugar?" β
"Yes! Your Majesty! β
Varian's eyes were cold, and he said coldly, "Okay, you go out." β
"Your Majesty!" As King Varian's subordinate, of course he knew what Varian's actions just now represented, "Don't act carelessly!" I wonder if there will be other enemies around the sinister and cunning Gugar! β
"Stop being verbose, get out!"
"Yes!"
After the MI7 agent went out, Varian held his forehead with one hand, of course he knew how powerful Gugal was, and he also knew that the safest way at this time was to wait for reinforcements. But on the other side of Cthun's followers, Valera and her troops are waiting for him to come to his rescue, and now that Gugar has appeared, Valeera has proven to be even more dangerous.
While Varian was thinking, a small meeting was held on Valeera's side, and the atmosphere of the meeting was solemn, and Valila's men suggested building fortifications and holding on to the place, waiting for King Varian's rescue. But Sylvanas didn't want to sit still, and although they didn't quarrel, they had different opinions, and Valeera's expression was solemn. Sylvanas suddenly turned his head and asked, "What do you think, little ghost?" β
When asked by Sylvanas, Chen Zhuo didn't react, he was startled, and said casually: "Why don't we attack the Twilight Fortress?" β
Originally, Valeera's captain of the guard was very unhappy when he heard Queen Xi ask Chen Zhuo's opinion, Chen Zhuo replied so casually, but laughed loudly, Valera glared at the captain of the guard, and he stopped laughing.
When Queen Xi heard Chen Zhuo's answer, not only did she not have any sarcasm, but asked with interest, "Oh? Imp, be careful. β
Valera's attention also shifted at this time, originally Chen Zhuo said it in passing, because his advantage is to understand the Twilight Fortress, if it is said that he is fighting in the field on the Twilight Heights, Chen Zhuo prefers to fight the boss battle in the Twilight Fortress, plus the death of the guard boss and the wounded, it is wishful thinking to clear the customs, but it is no problem to stay in the first area. Chen Zhuo roughly sorted out his thoughts and replied, "Queen Xi, the Twilight Fortress is mainly divided into four districts, and we have met the leaders of two of them, namely Halvers in the first district and the ascendant council in the third district. In addition to the Time Dragon and Void Dragons that have been seen, there are also Rock Dragons and Storm Dragons, when he fought with us before, Halvers could only activate two young dragons to fight at the same time; There are two dragons in the second district; The third sector Ascender F4 has become one, and the fourth sector is the boss Gugal. β
"Dragons? And dragons? β
Seeing that Chen Zhuo nodded, Sylvanas also shook his head: "No, it's too risky, why are there still dragons in the Twilight Fortress, are the dragons all fallen?" β
"Queen Xi, I don't know why even you are so afraid of dragons, in fact, dragons are not so terrible, and who said that dragons must be righteous, each for its own master, each has its own way of life."
The captain of the guard snorted coldly: "Hmph, arrogant boy, don't talk about the truth of your nonsense, just talk about the dragon, you will be punished for what you said." β
Hearing the sneer of the captain of the guard, Chen Zhuo couldn't bear it anymore: "Rat-eyed, you are just a frog at the bottom of a well, you don't want to be motivated and think that others are like you?" β
"You two shut up!" Valera heard Chen Zhuo arguing with her own escort captain, and she didn't know why her escort captain just looked at Chen Zhuo unpleasantly, "Let's think about how to do it." β
Chen Zhuo heard Valera roaring at him, and he didn't continue to entangle, quietly following Xiaoxue's hair, Sylvanas thought about it and said, "Otherwise, let's do this!" β
Twilight Highlands is not only the plateau, there are many mountain forests, Sylvanas takes everyone to the mountains, as long as you climb to the top of the mountain, you can have a bird's-eye view of the entire southern part of the Twilight Highlands, there is the advantage of terrain, you can attack and retreat, you can defend it, you can go down the mountain to assist in the attack after discovering King Varian's troops, even if you have no backup, you can escape from the mountain.
"Hmph, naΓ―ve!" Gugar was not in a hurry after discovering the whereabouts of Queen Xi and her party, thought about it, and said to his subordinates, "Let the Dark Ravens go to the mountains to cross the catastrophe, and call the two Dark Healers at the same time!" β
Queen Xi and her party are climbing to the top of the mountain at full speed, because this is a wild mountain, no one usually walks, so when they get home, they are looking for their own way. Fortunately, there was a hunter like Marcus and a wolf like Xiaoxue in the team, so Marcus, Charles, Chen Zhuo and Xiaoxue walked in the front, and Valera also wanted to join them, but was stopped by Valeera's men, and finally persuaded to walk in the middle with Queen Xi; Behind the hall were the two tanks under Valeera, and the rest of the people walked together in groups of three or two, with a distance of 5-10 meters between each team, and the three Chen Zhuo, who were at the forefront, chatted with each other.
"Eh, I said Chen, you and Valeera's senior, it seems that the relationship is very delicate, she doesn't care about the matter between you and Bonnie?"
"Marcus, why are you here again, you can't stop gossiping so much, Valera and I just sympathize with each other, and besides, there's nothing between me and Bonnie!"
Marcus laughed directly when Chen Zhuo said that he sympathized with each other, and even Charles was amused by Chen Zhuo, Marcus said while laughing: "I said Chen, I don't believe you ask Charles, this idiot can see what happened to you, Bonnie and Valeera's predecessors." β
Charles first nodded firmly at Chen Zhuo, and then immediately patted Marcus: "Brother Marcus, who do you say is a fool!" β
"Eh, why are you beating me! I didn't say you, eh, by the way, Chen, why didn't Bonnie come with me this time? β
Speaking of Bonnie, Chen Zhuo couldn't help but remember that when he parted, it was useless for Bonnie to stalk, and finally reluctantly compromised, but he told Chen Zhuo a secret, that is, as long as Chen Zhuo wanted to, the Void Gate could be opened next to his demon, as long as it was no matter how far away it was in Azeroth, Chen Zhuo also used the imps to do a test, and found that it was really like this, so Chen Zhuo simply released the imps and let Bonnie take them, the imps have been in the void for a long time, and they will be disobedient for a period of time, and they will not be invisible, and their skills will be placed indiscriminately, The key is that the target is still randomly chosen, and the last time it hit Xiaoxue, Xiaoxue almost tore the flame imp apart, but the damage did increase a lot.
"Bonnie? Did you miss her? β
"Haha, Chen, you're laughing, Bonnie can't tolerate anyone else except you." Marcus suddenly remembered the life story of Bonnie that Chen Zhuo had told him in the Wailing Cave before, and said, "By the way, Chen, you weren't sucked dry by Bunny, did you?" After all, Bonnie is ...... Demon~Elf~, that technology ......"
"Stop, Marcus, you're talking about this too explicitly, you can see Charles's face is red!"
Hearing Chen Zhuo say this, Charles's face turned even redder, and Marcus hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, Chen, you don't know, Charles is really a nerd, he is still ......"
Charles smashed his shield on Marcus's head, which startled the people behind him, Colin wiped his sweat, and hurriedly said to Queen Xi and Valera: "Queen, General Wa, don't worry about the two of you, they are often like this, just get used to it, just get used to it!" β
Queen Xi snickered and didn't care, but Valera was speechless.
Suddenly, Xiaoxue smelled a trace of unfamiliar smell and immediately warned him, Marcus hurriedly said: "Stop, there is a situation!" β
Charles saw that Marcus said this, and he couldn't make any more trouble, so he could only give up, looking around vigilantly, Chen Zhuo carried everyone behind his back, stopped, and stretched out his right hand, Colin was stunned when he saw it, and put his finger in front of his mouth and shh Surprised to see Valera and Sylvanas, Colin whispered, "This is Chen's own code word, and we use it to convey information when we are doing tasks. β
Queen Xi secretly praised in her heart, the code words she encountered before were all flags or other items, after all, people's hands are too restricted, and there is too little information that can be transmitted, Colin did not look at Queen Xi's expression, and continued to read Chen Zhuo's information.
"Left...... 5, right...... 5, the number of fronts is unknown, the strength is unknown! And it has found us, is moving towards us. β
"Let them withdraw, the formation shrinks quickly!"
Now that it has been discovered, the queen is not afraid of exposing anything, Chen Zhuo and the others got the information, and quickly retreated to Queen Xi, and when everyone had just shrunk the formation, several crow heads, human bodies, and people wearing tattered cloaks of linen appeared in everyone's sight, from far to near, stopped at dozens of meters, the crow's head was very large, and it kept turning, and it was babbling something in its mouth.
"What is this??"
These creatures made everyone confused, even Chen Zhuo frowned, Marcus saw that Chen Zhuo had not spoken, and asked in surprise, "Chen, you don't know what these beasts are?" β
"I don't know, how could I possibly know?"
"No, this strange beast, you should know about it."
The captain of the guard heard the conversation between Marcus and Chen Zhuo, and said to Valera with a little sarcasm: "General, what are we going to do, please give the order!" β
Valera glanced at Queen Nozomi, and the two looked at each other and asked Marcus, "Can you find the weakness of these beasts?" β
Marcus didn't speak, and Chen Zhuo suddenly opened his mouth: "Dark Raven Man!?" β
Chen Zhuo's surprise startled everyone, only Marcus nodded: "Well, I'll just say, how can you not know this kind of thing." β
Chen Zhuo glared at Marcus, because everyone had been talking about beasts just now, Chen Zhuo took a picture of beast knowledge, but he didn't expect this humanoid creature to be really a beast, and said randomly:
"Dark Raven, a Rank 5 Humanoid Beast, 3 Attack and 36 Blood, has skills, taunts, comes with a blitzkrieg, if the taunted character does not attack himself and attacks others, he will immediately appear behind the character and launch a fatal blow; Soul Link, the Dark Raven will give up to 50% damage reduction to the damage according to the damage received, and the minus damage will be distributed to other companions in turn. β
Except for the 7 people who had often done tasks with Chen Zhuo, and Queen Xi, who knew some of Chen Zhuo's secrets, everyone showed skeptical expressions, and Valilla hesitated for a moment and asked, "Chen, are you...... Recognize them? β
Chen Zhuo thought for a while, now that there are so many people, he definitely can't say that he is a "mage" with the skill of beast knowledge, so he replied: "There should be nothing wrong, I have seen them in books, the wizard robes on their bodies are too shabby, I didn't recognize them at once." β
At this time, one of Valeera's men came running from behind and said to Valeera: "General, someone has attacked from behind!" β
Snare!
These two words flashed in everyone's minds, and Queen Xi said categorically: "Everyone enter the battle and prepare for a surprise attack!" β
