Chapter 52: The Decisive Battle (4) Each has a ghost and the first battle
At this time, Akmund, who was deeply feared by everyone on the coalition side, was at the rear of the demon army, and watched the march of the demon army with his lieutenant Anatheron.
Dressed in an ornate shoulder armor, Akmund was looking at the Demon Guardians not far away with a nonchagrin gaze, he was the leader of a race in the world of Argus known as Ereda, and later took the Eredar to join the Burning Legion for the promise of the Dark Titan, but unlike his Ereda who had blood-red skin and many more abscesses on his body, the evil energy did not affect his appearance in any way, and he still maintained his original blue-gray smooth skin.
Akmund was not very large, especially next to the tall Anatheron was much shorter, but at this time all the demons looked at Ackmond in awe, even the tall Anatheron, at this time Anatheron was trying to bend over, and showed a humble and flattering smile to Akmund and said:
"My lord, the Scourge Legion has begun to attack, Reki Donghan is commanding the Scourge Legion to fight, in the face of the number of the Scourge Legion, I believe it will not be long before the weak resistance of the first line of defense will be torn apart."
"Well done, Annetheron." Akmund's indifferent face showed a faint apnovement, and then his gaze looked towards the mountain, and in an instant, countless distances were quickly narrowed in front of his eyes, allowing him to quickly see the situation of the first line of defense, and when he saw those green-skinned orcs, his face rippled again:
"Compared to you, Manolos is a piece of rubbish! Those orcs could have become our slaves like the Scourge Legion, but today they are on our hostile side. ”
"My lord, none of this matters, although the orcs have good individual combat strength, but after all, the number is too small, it shouldn't cause us much trouble, but the night elves are worth noting."
Akmund was unimpressed: "Huh, Night Elves? If it weren't for the fact that we haven't been able to send too many troops into this world, this world would have been destroyed in the last war 10,000 years ago! This time, with the Scourge providing us with plenty of troops, and the other side's beasts, demigods, and dragons falling or missing, I want to see what Malfurion can do to resist me. ”
"I don't think mortals can really cause us any trouble." Annetheron agreed, looking at the big tree at the top of the mountain, with an envious look on his face, and said to Akmund, "My lord, after you absorb the power of that tree today, can you go further?" ”
Akmund also followed Anatheron's gaze to the big tree, and his originally unwavering face showed an eager look: "Yes, the master has promised that the energy in that tree will be the reward for my actions, and after absorbing the power of that tree, I will be able to break through the current realm, and then there will be no existence in this world that can disobey my will." ”
After listening to Akmund's words, Annatheron's face looked even more respectful, and his waist was bent lower, Akmund looked at his adjutant's attitude, and was also very satisfied: "You have done a good job in the past ten years, much better than that waste of Tikdios, and when I go back, I will suggest to the master that you take the place of Tikdios." ”
"Thank you, my lord, I will not forget your kindness." Anatheron was ecstatic, he had no doubt that Akmund's promise could be fulfilled, and the news from the Twisted Void said that Sargeras was extremely angry at Tikdios's defeat some time ago, and had removed Tikdios's right to rule the Nazrezm clan, and the throne of the Nazrezm clan was currently vacant, and if Akmund recommended it, there was no doubt that this throne would soon belong to Anatheron.
"Now you go to the Scourge to summon the Rain of Chaos first, you don't have to go too far, just keep an eye on Arthas, hum! Naozu: I don't know what he thinks about it? I'll clean him up after today. At the last sentence, Akmund sneered.
"Yes, my lord." Anatheron agreed as usual and turned to leave, only after leaving a distance did he show a smug smile on his face, as Nazrezm, who is good at playing with conspiracy power, since Akmund came, several Dreadlord who was responsible for monitoring the Lich King have colluded, and during this time, there has been no small report of the Lich King in front of Akmund, which successfully made Akmund full of deep vigilance and hostility towards the Lich King, if he didn't need the Lich King now, it is estimated that Akmund would have started to clean up the Lich King a long time ago.
You didn't offend me, but who made you a threat to all of us? And some of your actions are indeed suspicious.
During this time, you will be waiting in Icecrown Castle, and the adults will definitely "reward" you in a few days.
Annetheron gloated, while coming to Arthas's side, carrying out the so-called monitoring mission, although the Dreadlord suspected that Arthas might not be reconciled, he did not think that this death knight had the courage to resist the terrifying power of Akmund and the Burning Legion, sure enough, Arthas bowed his head very respectfully in the face of Annetheron's approach:
"Lord Anatheron, do you have any orders for me?"
"Not yet." Anatheron glanced at the other party faintly and continued, "I want to guide the rain of chaos, and you are responsible for following me to protect me." ”
"Yes, my lord." Arthas agreed respectfully, and sneered in his heart, the Lich King had already told him about today's plan, no matter what happened to the coalition side today, this Dreadlord was dead.
Annetheron ignored Arthas, as the Scourge Legion Striker was already close to the Horde lines and was about to engage in battle, Anatheron began to turn his attention to the battle on the front lines and waited for the right moment for the Rain of Chaos to be released.
The Scourge Legion has invested more than 100,000 troops in today's battle, although most of them are low-level zombies, skeleton soldiers, ghouls and other low-level troops, but high-level troops such as death knights, necromancers, abominations, spider demons, high elf black knights who have come back from the dead, black rangers, etc., add up to 5,000 in scale.
In charge of commanding the Scourge Legion today is the Great Lich Reki Frost, who was an excellent archmage during his lifetime, and he is also a powerful Lich after transforming into a Lich, but whether he is alive or after death, he is keen on the pursuit of knowledge and the study of spells, and he is really not good at commanding battles.
Of course, Reki is very good at learning, so from the time he was asked to command the battle a month ago, he read all the military books he could collect and studied a large number of battle examples, and Rekey, who was good at analysis, quickly summed up a set of combat methods suitable for him.
In Reki's opinion, since he will definitely not be able to fight the commander of the Alliance and the Horde in terms of command, he will simply fight in a daze, and think of lowering the level of the other commander's commander to the same level as him, anyway, the strength and combat effectiveness of the Scourge Legion are here, as long as he is cautious, he will suffer a small loss at most. Sure enough, in the first two command battles, Reki didn't suffer much loss, and he fought well, which also made Annatheron, who was his partner, feel a lot more at ease, and recommended Reki to command the battle of the Scourge Legion today.
The tactics that Reki had thought of in advance today are extremely dull, he will first press a large number of worthless skeleton soldiers and zombie cannon fodder to consume the physical strength of the opposing warriors and the mana of the spellcaster, and then press on the teams composed of reasonably configured ghouls, necromancers, spider demons, abominations and other troops, and the death knight who is good at command is the commander of the corresponding team, so that it is not difficult to level the first line of defense, after all, the gap between the military strength of the two sides is here.
Soon, a large number of skeleton soldiers and zombies exchanged hands with the tribe, accompanied by the war drums of the tribe and the roar of the warriors, a large number of zombies and skeleton heads flew up, but Reki didn't care much about continuing to give orders, and the sea of skeletons and zombies still poured into the tribe's position like a tide.
But after half an hour, Reki began to notice that something was wrong, according to his experience in the first two commands, the physical strength of the warriors on the opposite side should have already decreased, and the caster would be unable to resist and consume valuable mana, and now the caster on the opposite side did not move at all except for the priest occasionally rescuing one or two soldiers who made a mistake.
What Reki didn't know was that on the one hand, the first two times he commanded the battle were human camps, and the human beings except for a few elite legions, the infantry quality was mostly average, and the grassroots soldiers of the tribe were all strong people who had survived countless bloody battles at this time, and they would have died in the previous battles if they were a little weaker, so veterans with sufficient experience naturally rarely made mistakes, and knew how to kill the enemy to save physical strength, and more importantly, today the night elves also provided the tribe with a lot of moon well water, It can make tired soldiers recover quickly, so Reki's idea of using the Sea of Skulls and the Sea of Zombies to consume the physical strength of the tribal soldiers is just wishful thinking.
After Reki found out about this, he quickly changed his strategy and prepared to fight the other party hard, and an idea was quickly passed on to Anatheron by him:
"Lord Annetheron, I'm ready to launch a general attack, please use the rain of chaos to support you in time."
"You should have done this a long time ago, give up the idea of reducing casualties, and the most important thing today is not to keep Lord Akmund waiting." Annatheron reminded unceremoniously.
"Thank you for the reminder, Lord Anatheron."
As the Great Lich's voice fell, the low-level undead got out of the way, one by one Ghoul, Abomination, and Black Samurai as the vanguard, the Black Ranger, the Necromancer, and the Crypt Demon as long-range assistance, and the undead brigade commanded by the Death Knight in the center began to press, in addition, many gargoyles nearby had also left the stone form and flew high, waiting for Reki's order.
Annetheron began to concentrate on channeling the rain of chaos, and soon, the sky began to burn, and green meteors fell on the tribal camp.
The real test of the coalition is coming.
