Wheel of War 13
Come back to me.
In order to attract a large force of the enemy and lure Thrall to arrive, I decided to wait here with Gianna. Stuck on this lonely ridge, yes, on the peaks that had become more rugged by bombs all around, the enemy could not get close to our remaining thirty men, perhaps Thrall also realized this, and decided not to send tribal warriors to charge against our remaining ones, but instead of using airships, but unfortunately, we still had a lot of griffon cover, and the airships could not get close to us and were shot down.
In this way, a situation was gradually formed, and the tribe was consumed. Even the enemy's only remaining wyvern was gradually lost its suppression here under our suppression, and in the same way, the enemy's airships could not get close to us, and if Thrall did not want to find another way, then we could still escape with them after the complete victory of the griffons, and the tribal warriors who pursued us were not only consumed in vain, but also delayed the fighters who pursued our main force. But that's not all.
Thrall knows very well that to the south, and now Lexa must have launched a surprise attack on the alliance station in Senjin Village, but Thrall himself was unable to dispatch troops to help in time, because Razor Ridge was destroyed, and the only Razor Ridge Pass that could transport troops on a large scale was buried by boulders and impassable, if my side escaped from Ascension and used griffons to control the two lanes in the east, it would not be possible to achieve a combined attack on the alliance at all, but it was possible to let his own Kukaron troops face the alliance's strong main force alone, which would most likely cause Kukaron to evade the edge of the alliance and not be able to complete the blockade of the alliance's main force, it is quite possible to escape back even under the cover of the sea. And at that time, Gianna summoned Luo Ning over, and then the tribal navy was about to face a powerful mage combination, maybe the navy side would still lose, and the situation was still back to the original point, that is, the situation was unfavorable to the tribe and its unfavorable situation without any change.
Of course, this is a bad possibility for me to escape, in short, Sal knows very well that if he can't kill us with the Philosopher's Stone this time, it will be very difficult to kill us when we do. In the end, Sal decided to take it upon himself to take advantage of this opportunity to kill us.
He didn't say anything, but rushed out of his hidden place, and with his actions, everyone followed in his footsteps, and Thrall swung the hammer of destruction up the rugged mountain road, and every now and then unleashed lightning at the griffons in the sky, shooting down one griffon rider after another. Then he shouted my name out of his mouth and made everyone notice him.
"A*r Sa*s !!"
I doubt he'd opened the line in such a way. But before I could reply, he continued to prepare to unleash the lightning bolt on me. Then a huge bolt of lightning followed, bombarding my back.
The pain was felt all over my body again, and I knew that the wound on my body was painted again, but I couldn't help it, I couldn't move, but the range of my own flames couldn't hit Thrall at all. Gianna motioned for me to return to my human form and find a bunker like the others to defend against Thrall's lightning attacks.
So before the second lightning came, I turned back into human form and everyone dodged his lightning in some stone crevices around the valley and managed to dodge, because Thrall was far away from us, and he couldn't target my position specifically, but it also fulfilled his wish, that is, we could no longer suppress them, that is, we could no longer defend against the charge of the tribe led by Thrall.
Watching the mountains of horde warriors charge, I looked at Gianna, for all hope was here. She had already begun to prepare her death finger at this time, but like Sal, she couldn't determine the exact location. And he didn't go any closer after he shouted that sentence, but kept moving his position in a relatively safe position and waited for an opportunity to attack our side with lightning, so that we could not use our weapons to defend against the other troops led by Sarufar.
I glanced at Gianna, and she was hesitant, hesitating that she couldn't determine where Thrall was, yes, it was a very passive thing, and if the enemy rushed up, we would not be able to withstand such a large number of enemies. Gianna also knew this, but she really couldn't help it.
"I have to wait for him to get close. But he's been using the force of the wind to quickly change his position, so I can't lock onto my target. β
Gianna explained complainingly, and I made up my mind about it as she spoke.
"He's cunning, but there's only one way, if he decides you're no longer able to use magical attacks, then you'll have a chance to lock on. β
"How do you do that?"
"I'm going to rush out with my troops, and if Sal realizes that we're going to have a short fight, he'll think it's our last resort, and maybe you'll have a chance to lock on to his target. β
"But it's dangerous, and Thrall could lock you at any moment. β
"I'm sure you'll strike first when he locks me on, and until then, I'll be entangled with his most trusted subordinate, Sarufar, the orc who rushed to the front, and then Thrall won't act rashly, and you have to take advantage of his hesitation. β
I looked at the red-skinned orc at the front of their charge, and yes, I knew it was Sarufar, the leader of his most elite unit, Kukaron. I wanted to wait for him to come and then quickly approach him, and for the desire for glory, Sarufar would surely accept my challenge to win him the highest glory.
Gianna nodded and gave me some arrangements.
"When my finger of death is fired, you have to come back quickly. I'll release the portal and go back to Senjin Village. β
"I understand. I said this, and then arranged for the other soldiers to prepare a pseudo-charge, which is a symbolic charge down behind me, and then come back as soon as the finger of death is fired. It's not really a hand-to-hand encounter with the enemy, it's just a pretense. As Sarufar approached us, I gave such an order and rushed out first.
As I thought, Sarufar saw me doing the same, and quickened his pace, and soon I was close to hand, but to my surprise, the injury that Thrall had just inflicted on me had severely damaged my back and shoulder joints, making it impossible for me to use my strength to wield my sword. But I have already launched an assault on Sarufar, and I can only hope that the Light will give me the strength to resist Sarufar's warhammer.
But alas, maybe I just let the Light give me the strength to wield the strength to fight him, but my wrist was also injured. As soon as I made contact with his sword, my sword was instantly knocked away by his great force.
Yes, no one expected this ending, and Sarufar didn't expect to be vulnerable under the protection of my Light power, he had heard of my combat power, such as the life-and-death "duel" with Orgrim, so he thought that I could resist an orc warrior of his level, but I was knocked out of the air with one move, which no one expected, but for Sarufar it was a bit hesitant, because a proud warrior like him didn't like to kill unarmed people.
Thrall was also stunned by this scene, and even stopped moving, and Gianna was also a little concerned about my safety, and I shouted to this until Gianna realized her mission.
"Gianna, quick!"
But Gianna was still far inferior to a warrior like Sarufar compared to the reaction time, he seemed to recognize my plot, so he immediately hammered at me, and the strong impact of my wrist just now paralyzed me and infected my feet, so that I could not effectively resist this attack, but Sarufar did not seem to want to give me a fatal blow, but hammered me heavily in the stomach, and was knocked away. And right around my warriors, my warriors quickly dragged me back, and the warriors at the front set up a line to cover my escape, and at the same time Gianna's magic also launched an attack on Thrall, but Thrall already knew what I had reminded Gianna of, so when the Finger of Death was fired, he was mentally prepared, although not very well.
The Death Finger was fired almost along the slope of the mountain, and the raised earth and rocks along the way and the orc warriors along the way were wiped out in the moment of contact. And I was staring at Sal as I was dragged on my aching stomach, hoping to see what I wanted to see.
And the same orc warriors also looked at Sal, and unlike the smile on my face, the corners of their mouths were worried and shocked, because Thrall was still motionless, but just as the blow was about to blow there, Sal actually flashed and disappeared and appeared on the other side. Only one afterimage remained, but at this moment Burks rushed frantically to try to push it away. Eventually, he was hit by the finger of death and penetrated most of his body...
Thrall was stunned, he didn't expect his captain of the guard to do this, but it was also because of the subconscious check on Berks' situation, and the best chance to kill me was delayed, and in the end, under the cover of half of the soldiers, I returned to Gianna, and with regret that I didn't kill Sal and guilt for the soldiers who covered my escape, Gianna used the Warlock Portal magic to teleport us back to Senkin Village. However, the Warlock's portal is different from the Mage's portal. A Warlock's portal is a portal that creates a portal and can teleport in large quantities, while a Mage's portal directly designates some people who receive its magic to arrive at a certain location, and carries a small amount of it. Eventually, the ten people we saved went inside the gate. Here, the soldiers covering our departure are in a good position to fend off the Horde's charge to buy us time.
Sarufar was shocked to see the damage caused by Gianna's powerful magic, and remorseful for the blow he had shown to my men, especially since it reminded him of his resentment at Gul'dan who had turned him into a red orc. Furious, he rushed through our defensive walls and jumped in the moment the portal vanished...
So when we arrived around the village of Senkin, the moment the portal disappeared, Sarufar jumped out and prepared to attack these people we had saved, but he seemed to have forgotten a problem, that is, this is not the peak, although he has the ability to fight one against ten, but Gianna is no longer limited by magic here, the soldiers rushed up, after Sarufar knocked two warriors away, he was hit by Gianna's ice arrow, and then when he reacted to the charge, his steps were frozen, and his hands and weapons were also frozen when he tried to throw his weapon, and he could not make any attacking movements... That is, Sarufar was controlled by Gianna's frozen magic.
On the other hand, Sal delayed the best time to attack because of the injury of Berks, and when he reacted, Sarufar had already rushed into the disappearing portal, which Sal was very remorseful about, and he lost another opportunity, but since I had escaped, Sarufar had left here, and he also went to see Berks's injury, but unfortunately, all below his lungs had disappeared, and a large amount of blood was quickly lost, and he was already hopeless, just when Sal wanted to listen to his last words, he found that Berks was very remorseful, and Sal also understood this very well, and said this regretfullyγ
"I'm sorry, I should have told you in advance. β
"I... I... I, be careful with him, be careful. β
"I know, Arthas, he's very cunning, I'm going to have him cut to pieces next time..."Sal was very sorry and angry, he took it for granted that Berks was talking about me, but when he heard Berks he wanted to say something in a hurry, but as he had just been controlled, he found that his mouth could not speak to him, and he could only shake his head vigorously.
But it's also such an action. Soon, the force that had just controlled him killed him in an instant. Yes, in such a state, death is possible at any time. It wasn't unusual, but Sal seemed to recognize something, like he was sure that Berks wasn't talking about me, but who could it be?
It was at this time that an orc gave Thrall the weapon I had dropped, and to Thrall's surprise, it was the dragon head sword of the time, but Thrall remembered very well that the weapon was completely damaged when I assassinated Akmund, and now it is intact. It made him very strange, you know, the current alliance could not have the strength to repair such an intact sword. It was this strange thinking that led Thrall to other thoughts, indirectly helping the Black Dragon King hide the line he had just controlled Berks.
Yes, just now Nesario just wanted to control Berks to rush to Thrall, but the purpose was not to protect, but to hold Thrall to restrict his movements, so that Gianna's death finger would pierce Thrall, but he never expected Thrall to dodge this attack. After all, after Berks' loss of troops and mindlessness, the Black Dragon King has been completely disappointed in this orc's ability, and is even worried that this orc will show his stuff. In order to prevent being discovered, Nesario decided to let him use his residual heat and let him die with Thrall, and after death, Thrall will continue to live with the help of the power of his potion, but in a puppet way, and this puppet can only inherit the will of Thrall's anger and hatred, that is, only retain the will to fight to the death with the alliance...
But that's it, nothing happened except that Berks became a martyr. And Thrall had to redeploy troops to contain the alliance, but this was no longer possible. All the forces of the alliance, including the air force, have already withdrawn south, and their main forces are stuck in the pass and cannot effectively pursue, and in the end they can only watch the large forces of the alliance escape in front of their eyes. He can only encircle after the alliance has fled.
At this moment, back to me, Sarufar, who had been controlled, stood here, and I dragged the piece of my armor on my stomach that had been shattered by Sarufar's battle axe, and walked into this orc, I still sincerely admired him for not killing me, and I seemed to think of Grom in him again, the orc warrior who had been fighting side by side with me against the enemy...
After some reflection on the past, I finally decided to release him, and although the soldiers were surprised by my decision, I was convinced that this glorious orc would not attack me when he was released.
"Let him go. β
"But he's going to attack us?"
The soldiers immediately questioned my orders, which I could only explain patiently.
"That's for an orc without glory would do that, he's not. β
"But we've sacrificed so many people. β
"We also killed so many of him, and the captain of the guard of Sal, who was obviously very close to him, otherwise he wouldn't have rushed into us alone, so we settled it. β
...
I quickly convinced the soldiers around me, but Sarufar apparently didn't think so, or rather didn't want me to do so.
"I won't take your favor humans, you'd better follow the advice of your soldiers and kill me, or I'll kill you one by one when I'm released. β
"You won't, Grum won't, and you're not a warrior inferior to him. β
I motioned for Gianna to release him, and Gianna did so, apparently ready to continue casting. And when Sarufar heard this, he seemed to understand something, and finally hesitated for a moment or didn't make a move, maybe my words infected him, yes, as the most powerful warrior of the Blackstone Clan, he has always been haunted by Grom's death, yes, from ancient times to the present, their Blackstone Clan is stronger than the Warsong Clan, and he himself thinks that they are no less than Grom. But the achievement of killing Magnos has been beyond his reach, but he still thinks that he can surpass the orc, and he is determined to do so, as if I may be able to reach his existence this time, but the act of killing me in this way is obviously an act of no honor or even a stench for ten thousand years, and I took out him to compare it with Grom, which obviously irritated him, and finally after I released him, he chose to leave and swore an oath to me.
'I'm not going to show mercy in the next fight, and I hope you're injury-free at that time. β
"I'll do it for you, and if you can still create that opportunity, I'll choose to duel you again..."
As soon as I finished speaking, I felt that something was wrong, for this was the camp of Gariss, but now it was empty, and to the northwest there was the sound of the earth shaking. Sarufar, who was experienced in this regard, recognized what it was, it was the sound of his own Kukaron charge, and with Sarufar's joy, he turned to warn us of this.
"My elite is here, and the troops you left behind here will definitely not dare to make contact with them before escaping, so you go quickly. β
I was a little puzzled by Sarufar's words, but I believed him, for the scene of the hasty escape here had already shown how urgent Gallisus was, that he had not even had time to burn the food, and that there were indeed footprints in the north-east direction.
"I take your word for it. β
"Whatever you want, but I'll kill you next time we meet, and it will be soon. β
After watching Sarufar leave. I hastened to take out the map and think about it, and I can see that Gallisus is heading north, not towards the shores of the Darkspear, and I think that Gallisus recognized the possibility of an accident on my side after determining that Kukaron had appeared, so he must be heading north, and I conclude that he will order Birva's fleet to go north and our main force to assemble on the coast of exile where we first landed and leave here by ship.
It must be like this. I had Gianna teleport to the northernmost area of Darkspear Beach to find Birva, and then take a boat to meet everyone at Exile Beach and leave here. Yes, if I hadn't been seriously injured and Gianna's physical strength had been exhausted, I would definitely have chosen to go north to find Garrissus or Marshal Jacob of Stormwind who led our main force to flee against the Horde, but we can only rest and recuperate for now, and then fight the Horde when we reach the exiled shores by boat, that is, after we recover.
My thoughts were good, and when we arrived at Darkspear Beach, we did find Birva's flagship very quickly, and entered the ship again with a portal, but just as Birva found us on the bow deck, and Gianna collapsed and my injuries were already a little threatening to take it anymore, a Horned Eagle knight also elbowed me, and to my surprise, in addition to a familiar Priestess of the Night under Mavi, there was also my teacher Muradin! This shocked me, I didn't expect them to come, and they were still in the north. But just as I was about to ask them, he interrupted me first, and said to Gianna and me in a reprimanding tone:
"Thank goodness you and Gianna are safe and sound, Arthas. But why didn't you respond to Ronin's call? It seems that something big has happened, what is going on?"
"Iβ" Just as I was about to explain, the moon guard next to him showed a wary look, and although she looked north, she still interrupted what I wanted to say in a firm tone.
"There's no time to discuss this, Your Majesty, we must be prepared for the arrival of a large fleet of the Horde. β
"What tribe's large fleet? Didn't their fleet be wiped out by us on Darkspear Island?
Hearing this, my stomach hurt even more, and I questioned the priestess, or if I didn't believe the information she had brought me, to which she just shook her head helplessly and explained a reality:
"It's just a small ship that they don't look down on, and their current fleet is the one we left behind on the coast of exile, the main fleet of Lordaeron and Kyrgyzstan and nearly half of Kurtiras..."
I was speechless when I heard these words, yes, I seemed to have forgotten all of them, and the legacies that had crushed everything we had now had become a weapon against ourselves. And a vicious battle is inevitable, and it is about to begin.
