Chapter 58: The Decisive Battle (10) Retreat

"Humph!"

A cold snort sounded directly in Kazloga's head, and although there were no superfluous words, Kazloga could hear the dissatisfaction in Akmund's heart.

"Lord Akmund, I promise to break through this line as soon as possible."

"Remember what you said, I don't want another time."

After the spiritual connection was disconnected, Akmund was still a little angry, the Burning Legion had already consumed thousands of demon guards and the same number of undead elites in front of the second line of defense, and now it was beaten back to the original point, he was extremely disappointed in this subordinate, and he almost couldn't help but take action in person just now, don't think that there are very few thousands of demon guards, and the total number of demons who can enter the world of Azeroth is not much, and it is precisely because of the lack of strength of the Burning Legion that they will first try to plan to use orcs as a servant army twenty years ago, This time, the undead are used as a servant army.

Wait, it's not enough to make a move.

Akmund has a clear understanding of his own strength, although his strength is extremely high, it is impossible for him to absorb the power of the World Tree by killing many strong people by himself, otherwise he will bring a careful plan and a demon army to do something.

Akmund thinks that his strength is the most important hole card in this war, but any hole card is the most deterrent when he is not out, if he has not seen the opponent's trump card, he must use the largest hole card to turn the tide of the war, this operation is estimated to be more auspicious, he needs to be desperate to desperately, this is the real reason why Akmund now tries not to end up in person.

But in the same way, no matter how good the cards are, they also need to be used, Akmund has a tolerance for the situation, and when it comes to getting close to the bottom line, he will not hesitate to make a move, and he hopes that once he makes a move, it will have a fatal effect with a thunderous blow.

"Azgalo, don't be impulsive, although you are strong, if you go by yourself, you will be sent to death."

"These hateful mortals, I'm going to give them some color and see!"

"Let's see if it doesn't work, if it doesn't work, you and I will take the ice dragon and other high-level demons together, or do you want to disobey the command given to me by Lord Akmund?"

It was not only Kazloga and Akmund who were in a bad mood, but Azgalo, who was overseeing the battle on the front line, also fell into a rage, and only after Kazloga moved out of Akmund did he persuade the simple-minded and hot-tempered Azgalor to stop.

The demon and undead armies once again attacked against the powerful ranged attacks of the Alliance, and nearly half of the soldiers lost in the last attack were also killed by the ranged strikes of mages, druids, archers, and musketeers.

"I always feel that the spell power on the other side is a lot weaker than last time."

A necromancer was wondering, just now, most of the demons who died were low-level demon guards, and the middle-level demons and necromancers did not lose a few, they either could fly or have rough skin and flesh and were not afraid of fire or teleportation, and they all successfully escaped from the battlefield, and at this moment they were sent into this round of attacks again after surviving.

In fact, this necromancer's feeling is not wrong, many spellcasters on the Alliance side who have experienced the two lines of defense of the Horde and the Alliance have run out of mana, and have begun to evacuate, along with a group of exhausted or wounded warriors, who will be the first to return to the third line of defense to rest and recover before entering the battle of the third line of defense.

Now the long-range main force of the alliance has gradually changed from spellcasters to musketeers and archers, especially the musketeers have sufficient physical strength, and the physical strength consumed by shooting is much smaller than that of bending bows and arrows, although the rate of fire and accuracy cannot be compared with the night archers, but the ability to sustain combat is much stronger.

Gianna, who needed to keep her mana for emergency, had also stopped casting spells, walked to the Golden Lion King, said hello to Varian, and then stood on the other side of Varian and Claudia, and set her eyes on the lower part of the high ground in the distance, approaching the undead and demon legions again.

“noigelehtrof!”

The demon army roared and rushed into the Alliance's defenses, and this time they suffered significantly less losses in the charge than the last time, crashing into the shield wall and spear forest of human melee soldiers, and the fierce hand-to-hand combat broke out again.

Bright red blood splattered in all directions, muffled snorts kept coming, from time to time human or demonic undead soldiers fell, undead without free will and demons who were not afraid of death naturally not to mention, human soldiers also burst out with a strong will to fight, they are not a rabble like levies, but an elite standing army responsible for defending Stormwind City, with an iron will.

Regardless of whether the opponent is a demon or an undead, a human soldier is not an opponent one-on-one, but a human soldier is never alone, they and their companions have always relied on each other side by side, and if someone dies in battle, the rear soldier will automatically make up for it, replacing the dead companion to become a new dependable object, at this time, although the demon and the undead have the upper hand, they are unable to advance the battle line too far.

"Summons Ashfabi to gradually withdraw to the second position."

"Summons Wendsol, get ready for engagement in the second position."

"Order General Shantis, Master Modra, and Ebner to gather fire to the front line and cover the retreat of Ashfabi's men."

With the issuance of Varian's three new military orders, the soldiers of the First Legion abandoned the camp at the front and began to slowly retreat in the face of the enemy, the demons and the undead naturally refused to let go of the enemy easily, but then the demon soldiers who rushed to the forefront in pursuit experienced the concentrated baptism of arrows, magic, and lead bullets, and the human soldiers who were much less stressed were able to retreat smoothly.

When the demon undead army rushed up again, they found that there, Marshal Windsor was leading the reserves to form several new rows of guns, while Ashi Fabi and his retreating soldiers did not stop, but retreated to the third line of defense of the Night Elves.

The demon has lost too much, and the time can't be delayed any longer!

Twenty minutes later, Kazloga, who had been warned, was already anxious, he was originally happy when the alliance retreated for the first time just now, thinking that he had captured the alliance's defense line, but he didn't expect that although there are fewer and fewer soldiers on the alliance's defense line, the defense line has still not been completely taken by the demon, looking at the golden lion king flag still flying high on the front line, Kazloga, who was almost unable to communicate, gritted his teeth and made up his mind.

"Azgalo, let's go, but don't go too fast, I'll crush them with you!"

"It's long overdue, these mortals have wasted too much of our time!"

One order after another was quickly issued by Kazloga, several Dreadlords and Doomsday Guards gathered around him, six frost dragons also took off high, and Azgalor also let out a wild laugh and pulled out his double-edged sword and dragged his heavy body, slowly began to move.

At the same time, on the front line of the Alliance, after abandoning two more positions, most of the mages had withdrawn from the battle line under the leadership of Crassus, and there were few druids and priests left, but some of the musketeers and rangers were still holding on, and were stationed in the last position with the royal knights, that is, where the Golden Lion King Banner was located, where most of the Alliance's high-level professionals had gathered, so it was not captured for a while.

"Varian, we probably won't be able to hold on." The corner of Gianna's eyes swept over the two demon lords and the six ice dragon paths that were moving in the distance.

"Prepare to retreat." Varian made a decision, the alliance has fought so far, although it has not killed the opposing commander, but regardless of the delay or the killing and wounding of the enemy's combat objectives have been successfully completed, he then ordered to the left and right:

"Blow the trumpet, the Night Elves go first, the musketeers follow, and I will take the royal knights to break the rear myself!"

"Your Majesty, please let me ---" Duke Grayson, whose armor had been dyed red, looked anxious and was about to persuade him, but Varian raised his hand to stop his words, and said in a firm tone: "Grayson, the king of the Stormwind Kingdom, never leaves the battlefield before the soldiers, the kings did the same, and so will I." ”

Gianna hesitated for a moment and said, "Lord Duke, I will use a spell to evacuate everyone in a critical moment." ”

Duke Grayson no longer persuaded him, but instead said, "Please allow me to protect His Majesty." ”

Varian agreed, and soon, the withdrawal horn sounded again, and the troops began to leave the battlefield in the order of order, and Varian personally led the royal knights and some high-ranking professionals to meet in reverse, and was at the last position in the retreat queue.

Claudia unleashed her protective hand at a royal knight in the distance and managed to save him from the Dreadguard Swordsman, and then she added two shields to Varian and General Santis, and from the last battle onwards, she joined in the healing of the other warriors and became a solid support for the others.

After Varian brushed a few swords, the surrounding demon guards were swept away, Duke Grayson also swung his long sword with a few holy light slashes, burning several undead to ashes, General Santis also shot arrows from time to time to kill demon officers, and the troops after the break fought and retreated, and they had already evacuated the original defense line of the alliance, and more and more demons and undead also died at their hands, and the heroes in charge of the broken queen were the strongest in the alliance after all, so although they consumed a lot of physical strength, they did not suffer much threat.

"Don't run away, bugs!" Azgalo did not stop when he reached the second line of defense, but roared and chased after it, this was a new order given to him by Kazloga, and the demons wanted to chase all the way to a destination before stopping, where the demon and undead armies could reorganize a little before attacking the last line of defense.

"Don't chase too far, wait until I, Anatheron and Lord Akmund decide on tactics together when we reach our destination!"

Kazloga told him that after Azgalor agreed, Kazloga sent a few ice dragons to Azgalo, he was not worried about Azgalo's safety, Azgalor was strong, and there were a large number of demonic undead guards around him, even if he encountered a surprise attack, he would definitely be able to support him and other flying demons to help.
