Chapter 36: Gianna VS Alsace (Saturday's update)
A little later, the battle ended.
The soldiers are hurrying to rest, the military situation is urgent, and after a short rest, they will rush to the aid of Gilneth City.
Tirio and Abidis and others are using this time to collect Dassohan's body and pray for him, that the once exalted first paladin may rest in the Light.
As for Varian, he was alone at the top of the city wall looking into the distance, and there was no joy or anger on his face, only thoughts flashing in his eyes.
Tyrosus stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, do you want Claudia?" ”
"Yes, I miss my queen." Varian confessed.
Sir Tyrosus was Claudia's mentor, and after the Queen's death, Varian's clone in Stormwind chatted a lot with Tyrossos, who went to mourn, and learned a lot about Claudia's apprenticeship, and the two became acquainted with each other.
Speaking of Claudia, Tairosus couldn't help but sigh with vicissitudes on his face, "I still can't believe that the child is dead, and in the past two days, I've been wondering if Claudia is not dead like Ms. Gianna, the body is fake, and she was just captured and imprisoned by the witch." ”
"I also believe that Claudia is not dead, and I will find her." Varian said in all seriousness, he knew the truth about Claudia compared to Tairosus, and he did intend to do so.
For him, finding and saving his queen is far more important than saving Gilness, and the operation itself to save Gilness, in Varian's opinion, is also to find out what is going on with Claudia.
"Speaking of which, I don't know what happened to Gianna, Claudia is most likely to show up on her side to help."
Varian looked south.
And at the same time, Gilnes City.
After days of fierce fighting, the majestic city was in tatters, every inch of the walls were sprinkled with the blood of the Gilnesians, the commercial and military districts had long since fallen, and the soldiers had suffered heavy losses, but despite this, the stubborn Gilnesians held out.
At this moment today, another Scourge army siege is underway, and unlike in the past, today's attack is extraordinarily huge, with endless undead armies pouring up, and all kinds of high-level troops are going into battle together, and they have the posture to completely capture Gilneth.
The Royal Courtyard and the Cathedral of the Dawn of Light are one of the two major strongholds that Gilneth is still guarding, and the Royal Courtyard is especially affected, with ghouls, abominations, death knights, and spider demons frantically storming the Royal Courtyard, although the guards are fighting hard, they are still about to be unable to hold on.
"Ice Marksmanship!"
Accompanied by a young and crisp female voice, several ice spears stabbed out, accurately stabbing the two ghouls who were besieging Tess into skewers, and Tess was not idle, she swiped a few daggers to cut off the head of the other ghoul, and when the crisis around her was resolved, she had time to look at her fairy companion.
"Thank you, Betty." Tess gasped as she hurried to regain her strength.
Betty flew over her shoulder and sat down, "You're welcome, Tess, if you're grateful for me, treat me to juice again tonight." ”
"That's it," Tess laughed, Betty and the elves had arrived in Gilneth two days ago, and if it weren't for the help of their group of spellcasters, Gilneth would have fallen two days ago, but even then, the form was not optimistic.
Thinking of this, Tess couldn't help but sigh, "What should I do, there are too many soldiers in the Scourge Legion. ”
Betty was also a little helpless, "There's no way, as long as those Valkyrie are still there, the enemies will continue to pour out, and now we can only hope that the alliance reinforcements will break through the wall of Greymane as soon as possible." ”
Tess nodded, and looked into the distance, behind the Scourge Legion, more than a dozen black-winged or white-winged Valkyrie were resurrecting corpses, and they were the important reason why Gilneth Form collapsed so quickly.
You must know that the Floating Fortress of the Scourge Legion can't contain many undead, there are only mid-to-high-level undead in it, and those middle-to-high-level undead alone can't capture Gilneth City, or even if the Scourge Legion can capture Gilneth, the loss of mid-to-high-level undead is enough to make the Scourge Legion unbearable.
So Gilneth has been able to hold out until now because the Scourge didn't attack at all at the beginning, and after that, it became more and more difficult for Gilneth to fight.
Because of Valkyrie, low-level undead such as ghouls spawn very quickly, and they continue to transform the corpses of the dead into low-level undead, and under the impact of the endless sea of undead, Gilneth will soon be in danger.
Another wave of undead came up, and Tess and the other Gilneth soldiers met them, but they were scarred and exhausted after several waves of bloody battles, so they fell one by one, and even Tess was wounded.
Just at the last moment, a deafening battle cry sounded.
"For Gilneth!"
A white werewolf rushed over with several werewolves, each of them wounded, but their bodies exuded an incomparably fierce aura, and pounced on the undead like a hunter pounced on his prey.
For a time, the battlefield was full of werewolves pounced, wielding weapons or claws, depending on the need, and in the face of these enemies who were too fast, the low-level undead fell like wheat harvesting, and they were all crushed by claws or swords.
Soon, the danger was alleviated, and the white werewolf strode up to Tess, a concerned look in his eyes, and said, "How is your injury, child?" ”
"It's only a minor injury, father," Tess called out as a werewolf, "and what about Lady Gianna, I haven't seen her magic in a while, where is she?" ”
"I just heard from the soldiers that she went to the North Gate, but I don't know the specific situation, the pressure of the battle is too great, and she may go to the church district." King Jean was uncertain.
Betty said: "Don't worry, with Lord Gianna's strength, as long as she wants to leave, ordinary undead can't stop her at all, so she should be fine." ”
"Hmm." Tess and King Jean, father and daughter, nodded and continued to go into battle, but what they didn't know was that Gianna's current situation was not good.
At this moment, she was covered with scars all over her body, and the most dangerous one was on her left chest, although Gianna had frozen the wound, but judging from the wounds that had been wounded, I was afraid that her heart would be pierced a few minutes deeper.
And even in this situation, Gianna still fought without feeling the pain, fighting and talking to the Lich King with withered white hair and blue-gray skin.
"Don't deny me the existence of Arthas! He's still imprisoned and struggling with you! I know! I can find him! ”
"Your prince is long dead, poor witch," the Lich King sneered, "you know, I stabbed Frost Sorrow into the blonde boy's chest a few months ago, and he was in love with you until the last moment, and it was a touching affair, so don't resist and enjoy the same treatment as your prince." ”
In the middle of the words, another Death's Grip was unleashed by the Lich King, and Gianna was uncontrollably dragged towards the Lich King, but before she could land, she was immediately protected by a thick ice wrap.
"Ice barrier? Hehehe-"
The Lich King let out a disdainful sneer, and then stabbed Gianna in the heart with a fierce sword, this piece of ice that is usually enough to resist the giant's attack is as fragile as paper paste in the face of frost sorrow, as the ruler of the law of frost, what ice can stop the Lich King?
In desperation, Gianna could only try to retreat in a flash, but after many battles today, the Lich King had already figured out Gianna's routine.
Suffocate!
A pair of unreadable hands of death gripped Gianna's neck tightly, hanging her in mid-air, making it impossible for her to continue casting.
"I do what I say, poor princess, and now it's time to pierce your chest." The Lich King sneered and was about to kill Gianna, but Gianna had a flash of gloom in her eyes, not for her own fate, but at this moment, she finally had to admit that Arthas's goodness no longer existed.
But Gianna wasn't killed after all.
"The dregs of the dead who blaspheme the souls of the dead, you are not allowed to harm the Queen's companions."
With a deafening dragon groan and a flash of white holy light spear, the invisible hand holding Gianna was severed by the spear, and Gianna was immediately dragged behind by the leap of faith, into the arms of a woman.
"Valkyrie."
Gianna unsure called out the identity of the other party, it was a very tall female Valkyrie, with huge white wings and a retro Viku outfit, with pity, kindness, and anger on her face.
"That's right, I'm Annala, one of Odin's Valkyrie maids, and now I've come to protect you with Athorex on the orders of the mistress, but fortunately it's not too late." The female Valkyrie nodded, turning her attention to the Lich King.
There, a huge Elder Blue Dragon was fighting with the Lich King, dragon breath, magic, and hand-to-hand combat were constantly attacking the Lich King, and in terms of strength, this blue dragon's strength was very terrifying, not much weaker than that of the weaver Malygos.
Hostess? Is that Claudia?
Gianna couldn't help but be a little strange, Valkyrie didn't care, she wondered how Claudia could send a blue dragon of this level to attack, the blue dragon and the shadow life have no friendship.
"Annala...... By the queen of your mouth, do you mean Crow...... Frigga ? And is this Mr. Ethorex also working for her? ”
"That's right, our sisters' mistress is indeed Friga," Annala nodded, but her next answer stunned the well-informed Gianna, "but as for this Mr. Blue Dragon, it's my husband." ”
