Chapter 35: Confronting the Burning Legion

Varian noticed Claudia's arrival, but his grim expression remained the same, and there was nothing but iron and blood in the military meeting, and nothing else was allowed to be inside.

The Stormwind Kingdom was highly disciplined, all the officers had arrived early, the Theramore officers arrived a little later than the Stormwind Kingdom, but they also arrived quickly, and then Gianna, Modra and other archmages flashed at the door of the camp, and after entering, they stood at the top of Varian's right, and soon, before the end of the quarter of an hour, everyone had already arrived.

When Varian arrived with his army, Gianna was neither good nor fond of directing the army, so Gianna handed over the Theramo military power to Varian, who was the supreme commander of the alliance at this time.

At the beginning, there were still Theramore officers who dared to disobey Varian's management, but after being cleaned up by Varian in public, seeing that Gianna would not help them, all the officers of Theramore also obeyed the military order very much at this time.

Varian looked around at the officers in the two platoons and said straight to the point: "According to the scouts, in a maximum of two hours, the undead and demons will attack the line where Marshal Wendthor and Duke Thadonbrick are located. ”

"I'll personally take the royal knights to support first, with Devon, Arthur, and Claudia with me."

"Yes," the three adjutants came forward to receive the order.

"Hammond, you lead your First Legion, and you must be on the battlefield within two hours."

A bearded general came forward to receive the order: "The minister obeys!" ”

"Halver!"

Halver Wimbane, the highest-ranking officer under Gianna, stepped forward: "In! ”

"You drew two regiments from the Theramore Army into battle. Arrive at the battlefield no later than Hammond. ”

Halver agreed.

"Gailan! You are responsible for leading the rest of the army to guard the camp. ”

"Yes!"

After giving orders to the officers, Varian turned to Modra and said, "Trouble Archmage, you have led the rest of Kenrito to prepare for battle first. ”

When Modra agreed, Varian disbanded the meeting, and the others quickly marched to lead the army, while Brigadier General Martin Lei, the commander of the royal knights, and the three lieutenants, and Gianna, remained in the camp.

Gianna tried to open her mouth and asked, "Do you want to notify the tribe to prepare for support?" ”

"No," Varian said remarkably, "I don't want to see those orcs!" ”

Gianna looked at the other people present, and it was not good to persuade her in public, so she secretly sighed and teleported away, planning to find a private time to communicate with Sal again.

Over the past week, Gianna had tried many times to persuade Varian to accept the Horde's existence, but Varian had already made up his mind, the limit of what he could do was that the enemy would not attack the Horde at the moment, and it was impossible to accept the Horde's assistance, let alone assist the Horde.

"In a moment, if you need to charge, Devon and Arthur, you will be responsible for guarding Martin Lei's flanks."

The two adjutants agreed.

Varian finally looked at the blonde girl, "Claudia, just follow me, and you'll be in charge of the royal knights' healing." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Then Claudia went out with Varian, the Royal Knights are one of the most elite armies in the Kingdom of Stormwind, all the Royal Knights are professionals, comparable to the Lordaeron Guards that Claudia once served, and the degree of equipment is even better, each of them is also lined with fine chain mail under the plate armor to protect the parts that the plate armor cannot protect, but unlike the king, their chain mail is not Mithril, and the war horse is also stronger, the head of the war horse, the neck, the chest, The horse's belly and legs are also protected by armor.

Soon, the Royal Knights arrived at the defensive line, the line where Marshal Windsor and Duke Saltsauck were, in addition to having enough troops, almost all the priests and paladins of the Alliance, as well as some mages and scouts led by Archmage Clausus and Tvorsh, were almost stationed here, Claudia also followed Varian, and met Duke Saltmore and Marshal Windthor, who had not been seen for nearly two months.

When Varian asked Marshal Wendsol about the battle situation, Claudia also found Duke Sadonbrick, he was the deputy head of the Knights of the Silver Hand, the supreme leader of the paladins in this expedition, he originally saw the girl and also had a lot to ask, but at the moment it was on the battlefield, so he could only make a long story short: "I'm glad you're safe, Claudia, what's the matter with you?" ”

"Lord Duke, I just came back yesterday, and I don't have any spell casting materials on me, so I can find someone to add some."

"I'll divide my King's Mark into four of you first, it should be enough for you to use in this battle, and I'll find someone to send you enough materials after the battle." Duke Shadong Breck took out the material box from his bosom and continued: "In addition, you can call me uncle in the future, your father and I are comrades-in-arms, so you don't have to be so polite." ”

"Thank you, Uncle Grayson."

Duke Shadong Breck finally advised: "Follow Your Majesty, don't rush to the front." ”

"I see." Claudia also took the king's mark and agreed.

Claudia returned to the king's side, found a bald head in black leather armor appearing in front of the king from the shadows, and knelt down to report: "Your Majesty, the existence of that demon lord was not found in the reconnaissance just now, but there is a demon lord in the opposing army, and there are three of the great demons I sensed. ”

Many people breathed a sigh of relief to hear that the demon lord was gone, and Varian continued to ask, "How is the situation with the undead army?" ”

"The direction of the main force of the Scourge has deviated, and it is likely that it intends to attack the defense line where the Horde is located."

"Continue to investigate, report every ten minutes, especially the movements of the undead army to be investigated."

"Yes." The agent sprang out again and vanished.

In the following time, Claudia followed the king on a pre-battle tour, and met with the head of the priests of the expedition, Bishop Dravi, Marshal Wendsol's lieutenant general Ashfabi, and other high-ranking generals, as well as several archmages, including Crassus, whom she had never met.

Crassus is a very handsome male mage of Quedore, and even looks a little feminine in appearance, but many of the High Elves also look like this, and he is not alone, and Clausus continued to arrange with Modra for the pre-war preparations of the Kenrito mages after a brief salute to the king.

When he saw Crassus, the Silver Hand suddenly said to Claudia, "After this battle, remember to talk to this mage alone, I have something to ask him." ”

Claudia was a little strange about the Silver Hand, but agreed, "I will." ”

As time passed, most of the army had arrived on the battlefield, and information was sent by the scouts, and Claudia, who was beside the king, also learned the latest situation, this attack was coming at the defense line of both Alliance Tribes at the same time, the main target of the Scourge army was the defense line of the Horde, and the main attack of the Burning Legion was the defense line of the Alliance.

Claudia gradually felt the approach of the disgusted demonic aura, and soon, the vanguard of the Hellhound and the Demon Guardian had already appeared in the field of vision, and instead of stopping to assemble, they quickly charged.

"Prepare for battle!" Varian ordered.

The priests and paladins began to bless the soldiers, Claudia then shattered the king's mark, and blessed hundreds of nearby royal knights with the blessing of king's power, since comprehending the "light" in the Titan Word, the number of her group blessings has risen again, and has reached the scale of hundreds of people, so that the Duke of Satumbreck, who noticed this scene out of the corner of his eye, couldn't help but be a little surprised.

Before the Burning Legion's army reached the range of the mages, the sky began to burn violently, and several glowing green hellfires smashed into the Alliance forces like meteorites, which had always been the most effective siege weapon against well-organized defensive positions.

In the face of the Hellfire meteorite that was falling, the army formation on the front line was still tight, but the soldiers in the rear had already dispersed in formation.

Bang!

One hellfire hit the ground with a loud roar, killing a few soldiers who couldn't dodge in time, and the flaming rock giants rose to their feet and began to swing their fists at the nearest enemy.

After the hellfire quickly smashed several nearby soldiers, the mages also began to fight back, frost, arcane spells began to gather hellfire, these days the mages have studied how to deal with the hellfire many times, have long studied the weakness of this monster, one after another hellfire was hit by the frost arcane spell began to fall, and the priests also began to treat the soldiers who were burned or knocked away by the hellfire.

Claudia and the king did not fall around the Hellfire, and she did not participate in the siege of the Hellfire in the rear, but silently watched the approach of the Burning Legion's forward army, this time she had to face a much more elite demon army than before, and next to each row of demon guards was the presence of a high-level angry guard, obviously the demon officer of the corresponding squad.

And the Chinese army of the demon army has also appeared in the distance, in addition to the demon guards and fear guards in the phalanx, the commanders in the center of the phalanx are of various races, there are fear demons, destruction demons, and doomsday guards, in addition, there are several huge two-headed giant dogs in the rear of the demon army, burning with green evil energy flames.

That demon is the leader of this demonic army.

Claudia and many other powerhouses immediately noticed the powerful evil aura, it was a demon guardian who had reached the level of a demon lord, he was holding a huge long-handled battle axe, and he was accompanied by three great demons.

"Prepare for a spell attack!" Seeing that the vanguard of the demon army was almost within range, Varian shouted.

Gianna, who was not far away, heard this and began to give orders to the other mages, except for some of the mages who were still cleaning up the hellfire, and the remaining mages had also begun to chant mass destruction spells.
