Trip to the Night 31
From a distance, it was clear that it was the first wave of Burning Legion demons to break out of the portal, and instead of destroying the orcs who tried to destroy the portal, they rushed towards us. I'm not sure if Akmund knew about our plans, but it's clear that he wants to destroy the Tree of Life, or gain the power, but Akmund didn't lead the team himself. Rather, it was a powerful lich leader, I don't understand, why did he think that, maybe it was something to guard against, for example, he had recognized that Kil'Gardan had become a threat to him? But since it's not him, I think there's hope we'll be able to resist this demonic charge.
With this confidence, we came to the human position, where the dwarves and gnomes also used their own firearms, such as gunpowder cannons and fire canisters, which were much more stable than goblins, but lacked a lot of power, and the elves' bows and arrows and the magic of the mages still caused a lot of damage to the enemy, especially in the face of desperate enemies.
At this moment, Mavi and I arrived here, and immediately arrived at the headquarters, and joined Gianna and the others, they did not care about our appearance, let alone take the initiative to explain the current situation, or did not have time to explain, yes, no one will be idle and lazy now. Mavi didn't ask her, but looked at a Night Elf commander who had come to report to her, apparently the Night Elf general who was originally stationed here. It's just a general, but in the temperament she shows, and the etiquette she shows to Mavi, it's obvious that she is more like a priestess of the month.
"The enemy charged, and Akmund did not lead the way. ”
"I understand that we must stop the enemy in the valley," Mavi pointed to a place, a wide valley between the hillside on our side and the one where the enemy was. "We can't afford to fight in hand-to-hand combat!"
"That's what Leader Gianna is going to do, but we'll have to keep the enemy at bay there. "The priestess turned our eyes to Gianna, yes, she was unleashing her magic at the moment, and she had no time to care about us. There's no need to bother her about that. But at this time, she put down her work and came to my side instead. Yes, she looked tired and energetic, looking more mature, and clear about how we should deal with the enemy now...
"You're right, General Mavi, we must stop them there and then defeat them with spells. ”
"You have to have strong soldiers to stop them. There should be some mountain giants here, maybe some orcs..."
Mavi said strangely, yes, there were no two allies here, almost only the soldiers and High Elves of the original alliance and a small number of Night Elves.
"There are very few mountain giants left, and all the orcs on our side have gone to stop the portal. Gianna shook her head, obviously, she also knew that Mavi's intentions were the same as hers, which was to stop the enemy to the valley below, and then concentrate on destroying the enemies there, such as magic, bows and arrows, firearms, and even landslides... But only if there has to be some force to stop them there. So orcs and mountain giants are needed.
"They orcs have already paid a lot, and we don't have any orc power on our side, if, you don't mind, I will have the power of the wives" Mavisiangianna said, revealing her own understanding, which made everyone very stunned, yes, no matter what kind of troops, participating in such a blocking defensive battle is undoubtedly a result of no return, but the night elves are obviously more unsuitable than human dexterous bodies.
"We don't favor our race because we're human, I think we're humans and dwarves are more suitable..."Gianna said, glancing at the Falic and the Guards and the Paladins who were ready to go on the expedition, yes, they were the most relied on troops in my human time, and I could even name almost all of them by name every time I was born and died... Seeing them makes me feel like I'm back to the way I was.... I was caught up in some memories of this, but then again, their untouched faces made me realize that they weren't like the orc elite and how much they had to lose in this escape.
"I used to try to keep the unit and my original memories... But it's time to take them out, I shouldn't be so selfish..."Gianna continued, a little reluctant to speak, she was unabashedly nostalgic for me, and said what she was saying most truthfully now, yes, during this escape, in the original brutal battles, they were not allowed to carry out too dangerous missions, and instead handed them over to more honorable orcs, such as Grom and his elite orcs... Apparently, Gianna did not hide the selfishness inherent in the decisions she made as commander at the time. I had tears in my eyes, and at the same time, everyone present fell silent, for the orcs who had been despised had made them feel guilty for believing in the Light.
"I will be with you. Mavi put her arm around Gianna and comforted, yes, now is not the time to delay the time to remember, this is to borrow the language of the Holy Light to explain her tactics as quickly as possible. "I don't think we can afford to delay any longer. Mavi said, turning around and giving Falik an order that no one would question. "Charge. ”
The paladins and the Praetorian Guards condescended and charged towards the demons below. And she continued to jump on my back. I understood what she meant, and I also launched close cover with our soldiers, reaching their destination first and holding back the enemy with flames.
But what about a dragon in front of the vast Burning Legion, and the warriors in the back, I don't think we can successfully block the enemy at all, the vast numbers, even with the cover behind us, our front row of fighters will quickly come down, and then row after row...
Yes, I have never seen such a situation, never.... The elites, who had experienced countless life-and-death wars, fell like this. Enraged, I rushed straight over the enemy's head and into the heart of the enemy, yes, I know, their commander was there, the richly dressed lich.
Almost everyone was stunned by my actions, and I rushed there while the enemy was in a daze, and I even used my body to crash into the Doomsday guards who stood in my way, and for my actions, the lich changed their tactics and took a defensive stance, as well as their soldiers, who did not continue to charge, but stopped at the bottom of the valley and waited for us, as we wished, and defended this place against our magic and bows.
Of course, I didn't notice the change in the enemy's formation, and focused on killing the enemy commander, but the lich seemed to have his own way, and he gestured, and I think he was ready to shoot me down with a beam when I got close enough. I knew I had to distract him.
"Mavi!"
Needless to say, she knew my intentions so well that she jumped off my back, and many demons didn't know what she was doing, but when she flashed in the air near the enemy lich, the demons realized that she was trying to assassinate their commander, and his guards quickly hurried to her as well as the lich who was in danger of being killed. And when she flashed away again, I was ready to give her a strong flame before his magic.
Unfortunately, the flamethrows couldn't reach their speeds, and I couldn't get close enough to get close to the lich, so he dodged the attack. He simply unleashed his magic and attacked me, trying to get me to escape.
But it was impossible, I just wanted to kill him now, and Mavi below, after freeing herself from the enemy's entanglement, threw her weapon at the lich, two double blades, but alas, one only cut his cloak, and the other only cut a large scratch on his face, but apparently did not inflict any heavy damage on it.
Furious at this, he exploded instantly, yes, apparently he cared more about his appearance, and I have to say that he was a very gentlemanly lich, a gentleman who was provoked.
When I released the flames again, he didn't dodge, but released a magic shield with one hand to block my flames, while the other hand prepared for something.
Maybe the target will be me again, but I don't want to run away from it either, yes, I know that my flames are destroying his magic shield, maybe I'm trying a little bit to drown this lich with flames, and he thinks the same way, the lich wants to gather some power, one strong enough to kill a dragon.
"Cover me" The lich commanded the demons, apparently he was talking about guarding against Mavi, yes, he knew that if he could kill me, then Mavi would not be able to escape the demonic encirclement with just a flash.
The lich had a good idea, and everything was in his plan. Eventually, he had gathered enough power before my flames consumed him, but just as he was about to release it on me, another force rushed towards the lich, and the lich knew that with his current state, it was impossible to resist that force, so he hastily released scattered magic scatter missiles at me, and then dodged, and the impact of fire and magic blew a large crater underneath. Yes, I saw that it was the Blue Dragon, Karegos, who was coming to help, and at this very moment, Karegos was staring at the Lich, and the Lich was also staring at the Blue Dragon.
It seemed like they were talking something, and Karegos looked hesitant, but he easily let Mavi flash on his back and shouted to me, "Get out!"
As he spoke, he took Mavi and left, and I had no idea that he would do that. But I had no choice but to follow his advice, but my journey back was not easy, and the Lich held out his finger to me.
Just as I was about to meet him from behind, another voice within me lashed out at me, and the words were exactly the same as those of Karegos. "Leave him alone, go!"
He seems to want to force my will, maybe he doesn't have that strong mental strength, but it still affects my judgment. I flew towards where I had been, and the light still grazed my cheeks, and I seemed to recognize something.
"He's taking revenge on you, and only on you, and even wants to kill you, but he compromises with the blue dragon and just wants to disfigure you. ”
Kel'thugad, who was housed in my body, explained why, apparently he had learned something in the lich's revelation to Karegos. But I'm confused about it...
"Why?"
"Because that lich Reggie Winterhan is at the mercy of the Lich King, not Akmund. I know his plans, and he hates the Burning Legion more than we do!"
"So?" I continued to ask the soul in my body, to which he seemed to have an empathetic explanation.
"So he's going to bury this demon legion!"
Hearing this, I seem to understand that there are also our guards and paladins, who have now retreated to safer places, and the demons are still in the valley.
"Could it be that they are preparing to fight back against Akmund at this time!"
"They have no choice! We can't perish, or they'll be next." ”
"Will Akmund take revenge on the Scourge?"
Here's how he explained it... And, I think Akmund will do it after he is now backwatering. ”
As I was about to continue, something suddenly happened, and the demon army was engulfed by a sudden landslide and all kinds of bursting magic, as well as the time bomb in their center, the lich I had always wanted to kill, and he also placed a strange ball of light in their center, and that ball of light was clearly in response to our spell.
However, at the moment when the Burning Legion of the entire valley was engulfed, when he wanted to escape, he suddenly seemed to be sensed something, or cursed by something, and did not teleport himself away, but fell to the ground at a loss, and was swallowed up by magic and landslides along with other demons.
However, his life and death were not my concern, after all, I could not have had the slightest affection for the Scourge, and I would have preferred this fate to the lich who had cut my cheek, so I hurried back to Karegos and his friends.
Yes, it is clear that it takes a lot of power to consume such magic, and I saw the more tired looks on the top of the hillside, Gianna and Ronin, and the more exhausted looks of the priestess of the moon just now, and realized that they had almost exhausted all their strength, but for the destruction of the vanguard of the Burning Legion, there were still smiles and cheers from the soldiers.
Of course, at the same time as this smile, on the other hand, Akmund was even more angry, he would never have thought that the undead would betray him, although the Scourge was not his descendant, he believed that the Scourge would definitely choose him between him and Kilgardan... After all, he himself was stronger than Kil'Gardan, and he had never had a holiday with the undead, and even worked closely with him when he came into this world.
So he had originally intended for the undead's most powerful lich to command his Burning Legion warriors, in order to establish the prestige of this new force in a-for-tat partisan struggle and then be reused by him, but he was wrong, he underestimated the Lich King's ambitions.
He was even more angry, and released a more powerful magic in one breath, and this magic can be strongly felt even by us far away from two mountains, and soon, several more portals were erected, and more demons appeared in this world, and their strange appearance was not the demon we originally saw, but more like mutated creatures on other planets, those apostate similar to Sartre. Yes, Akmund seems to have gambled all his possessions on our planet, but he still doesn't personally lead them in an attack on us, but unleashes some kind of magic.
"He's unleashing his magic trying to stop some power from entering!It seems like a protective barrier for our blue dragon!What is he doing?"
Karegos said this, and Mavi seemed to know the reason for this.
"It's Kil'Gardan, he's preventing Kil'Gardan's power from coming to our world, and he doesn't want to have a showdown with him at this time. ”
"Maybe we should stop him!" I said, but when I blurted out, I suddenly realized my stupidity
"No! we're not ready to kill the two Adversaries. ”
"I understand, so he knows that we won't bother him. I asked Karegos and Mavi on his back, for I didn't know what Akmund was thinking in his heart. And I don't know who can answer this question for me... However, the blue dragon seems to be able to avoid this more boring topic.
But that doesn't mean he won't bother us. Karegos said this, and it was at this moment that Mavi expressed his concern.
"Akmund noticed us!" Mavi saw Akmund's finger reaching out towards us, yes, although I couldn't see it, I felt a powerful force coming in our direction.
Yes, this is a tremendous force that I have never seen before, and I don't think there is any way for us to stop it, or even dodge it two mountains away. But as we approached, the force fell to the ground, and where the lich had died, the earth soon trembled and cracked. And just as it cracked, a huge body stepped forward, and something like a dragon stood out.
"Abyss Lord!" I was shocked that something like this would appear underground, "How did he do it?"
A volume the size of Mathriton crawled out of the ground, yes, I don't know why he appeared to us in this form, and there was one thing I was pretty sure that would be even more intimidating. He stood up underground, as well as the originally buried Burning Legion warriors who had been resurrected by Akmund's power, as well as the lich, but Akmund clearly did not want to use the traitor, the Abyss Lord knew his master very well, and twisted the resurrected lich into powder.
We watched as this kind of appearance and such powerful magic made our morale disappear in an instant. Yes, we all know very well that we are about to see the true power of the true god Akmund...
