Chapter 59: The Decisive Battle (11) Akmund strikes
A moment later, among the three demon lieutenants of the Scourge Legion, Azgalor was leading the demon army to advance while chasing the Alliance army, Annatheron was a little further behind than Azgalor and commanding some of the undead to assist him, and Kazloga was leading some high-ranking demons in the original human camp to wait for Akmund's arrival.
As Arthas was boredly following Annetheron as he walked along, the Lich King's voice sounded directly in his head:
"Let's do it."
"Now?"
"Well, we've done enough damage to humanity, and then ensuring the defeat of the Burning Legion is our number one priority."
Arthas still had a lot of doubts in his heart, but he didn't continue to ask, his face still had a lazy expression, but he was closer to Annetheron, and his tone was flattering: "Lord Annetheron? ”
"If there's something to do, I'll talk about it later." Annetheron was busy directing a few ice dragons and other undead on the front line to besiege the Alliance, and he had no time to get close to Arthastau.
"Frost Sorrow is hungry!" The expression on Arthas's face turned into a sneer in an instant, and the Excalibur in his hand also drew a perfect arc, slashing at Annatheron's neck with a terrible sound of breaking through the air.
"How ...... you!" Caught off guard, Anatheron tried to raise his hand to defend, but even half of his body was cut in two by Arthas's full sword.
Sensing the new soul in Frost Sorrow, Arthas quickly drew a poignant rune with his left hand and replied with a sinister smile:
"As for the questions you didn't ask, we can communicate slowly in the future, and I will never forget your kindness during this time!"
Akmund, who was in the human camp to give instructions to Kazloga, was suddenly shocked, and the expression on his face was no longer indifferent as before, and he said in a rage: "Naozu, you are looking for death! ”
In the next moment, Akmund raised his hand angrily and pointed at it hundreds of meters away, and a blood-red lightning stabbed at Arthas with a devastating momentum, but the rune in Arthas's hand had also been drawn, and a black portal with a death breath appeared, Arthas hurriedly stepped into the portal, and the blood-red lightning that lost its target bombarded the location of the portal, and collapsed nearly half of the hillside where the road was located.
"Well, it's terrifying, but presumably Akmund, you won't let go of the World Tree that is close at hand, otherwise how would you explain it to Sargeras?"
In the Northern Rift Realm, on top of the Wanzai Glacier, a skeleton figure thought with interest after witnessing this scene, and then his eyes turned to the other location of Mount Hyjal, and his thoughts continued to flow:
"Now, how much will the coalition pay to defend that tree? And Akmund, how can you destroy the resistance in this world for me? Finally, there is the king of mankind, what will you choose in the face of my gift? All of this is something I'm looking forward to. ”
The Lich King has regained control of most of the Scourge Legion, which has suffered heavy losses in the previous battles, and the original nearly 6,000 elites are less than 2,000 at this time, but the Necromancer has not died much, which makes the Lich King very satisfied, these valuable mages are far more difficult to train than other troops. As for the issue of loyalty? When did the necromancer dare to disobey his orders.
Orders were given to the undead units of Mount Hyjal, and most of the formed undead brigades did not launch a surprise attack on the Burning Legion, but remained on guard and retreated, trying to leave the battlefield, and the Lich King wanted both the Burning Legion and the coalition to lose, rather than a one-sided victory for either side.
In the human camp, Kazloga was also furious after understanding what was happening, a spell flashed, and several shadow arrows were shot at many retreating undead, but he heard the demon king beside him say coldly: "Leave them alone, fool! ”
Kazloga didn't dare to disobey and stopped moving in his hands, only to see that Akmund's face had regained his composure, and he took a deep look at the north, but his arm was still trembling slightly: "We can't absorb the World Tree, and we can't do anything about traitors in a short time." But as long as you absorb the World Tree, you can clean up Nao Zu as much as you want when the time comes! I promise I'll torture his soul when the time comes! ”
"My lord, please allow me to join in when the time comes." Kazloga also hated traitors more than his enemies.
Akmund's face flashed with ferocity and he said resolutely: "It's okay after the deed is done, now you must fight hard, follow me to kill the human king!" If you can collapse the human army, victory will still be ours! ”
"Yes, my lord!" Kazloga flapped his wings and flew quickly, while Akmund stepped forward, he could cross a distance of tens of meters with each step, but the earth seemed to shrink in front of him, and after just a few steps, he appeared in the previous Anaseron, and the corner of his eye swept the dismembered corpse of the Dreadlord with the expression on his face unchanged, and continued to move forward quickly.
Boom!
Claudia wielded a silver hand with both hands and killed a demon guard with a hammer, and then jumped to Duke Grayson's side, a burst of extremely rich golden holy light quickly emitted from her body, while treating the injured knights nearby, the blazing holy light also burned several ghouls who tried to get closer, the tips of the girl knight's hair were soaked with sweat, but she didn't care about resting, and two shields were made up for Varian and Duke Grayson, in the fierce battle after the break, as a high-level paladin, In addition to healing, she will constantly fill up melee positions to block enemy attacks, so her stamina is depleted quickly.
"Watch your flesh burn, bugs!"
Azgalor had already caught up with the Broken Queen's army, and with a heavy swing of his two-handed sword at the coalition forces, a rain of green evil flames fell from the sky, covering a large area of the retreating coalition forces.
This spell was not much of a threat to the high-level professionals, but Azgalor was originally targeting ordinary professionals and soldiers, and with a cruel smile on his face, he dragged on with heavy steps and looked forward to what was to come, and the pain wails of mortals were always the most beautiful music for him.
"Protect me!"
Claudia stopped eagerly, although the voice was not loud, but Varian of the melee group and several knights around her heard her words, stopped retreating and gathered around her to kill the demons and undead who approached her, and the girl raised her silver hand high, chanting an ancient desolate spell, and a large amount of holy light quickly ran and filled along the ancient circle circuit engraved inside the silver hand.
In the next moment, the Silver Hand emitted an incomparably brilliant light like an artificially created sun, and the legendary spell that Tyr, the king of order in the ancient barbarian period, had used to fight against the Dark Empire reappeared in this world, and bundles of golden holy light flew out from the Silver Hand, and the injuries on the allies hit by the beam quickly recovered and added an eggshell-shaped golden shield.
What Azgalor had hoped for didn't happen, and after several waves of fire rain fell, the golden shields on the mortals, though thin and almost transparent, did not break, and he turned his attention to the culprit.
"I curse you!"
As Azgalor's roar fell, a black doomsday curse flew straight at Claudia, but out of his sight, all the undead, including the six ice dragons, were in unison.
Bang!
An arrow with a purple arcane glow shattered the black curse, and General Santis fired two more arrows at Azgalor, who had to stop swinging his sword to block the arrow, and when he tried to chase again, he found that the undead around him had stopped moving.
"Get out of the way, brainless idiot!" Azgalor slashed an abomination with his impatient sword, and the next moment all the undead stared at him in unison, and the six ice dragons not far behind him took a deep breath.
"Annatheron, what are you going to do......" The two ice dragons spat at Azgalor, freezing half of the latter's body into the ice, and the undead army also attacked the demons around them as if they had been ordered, and the four ice dragons kept spitting along the path where Azgalor came, and more and more demons were turned into ice sculptures by the frost breath.
"Annatheron, how dare you! You're looking for death! ”
Azgalor broke free from the ice, but in many places even his skin and flesh were frozen, and large swells of green blood splattered out, making him look miserable, and he looked around and found that the demonic army around him had fallen to the upper hand in the face of the sudden attack of the undead, and Azgalor no longer ignored the pursuit alliance, and swung his greatsword to attack the undead.
This sudden scene also caused the alliance side to fall into a momentary stupor, but soon everyone understood what was happening, and their expressions were all relaxed, and General Santis high-fived and said excitedly: "Your Majesty Urynn, the Lich King has defected, should we kill this demon lord here?" ”
A trace of hesitation flashed on Varian's face, and he had to admit that General Santis's proposal was very doubtful, which warrior didn't like glory, especially when the tribe had already killed a general on the enemy's side, the alliance needed a record of equal weight to prove itself, with the strength of everyone, in the case that the Abyss Demon King was already injured at this time, it didn't seem difficult to kill it.
But how kind would the Lich King be? And why is he defecting now? I'm afraid I just want us to stay and kill this demon lord!
Varian's eyes swept over the undead and he thought with some jealousy, and then he no longer hesitated to reject General Santis and explained, "I don't trust the Lich King, so I hastened my evacuation as originally planned. Now that we're so close to victory, there's no need to keep taking risks! ”
General Sheldis accepted Varian's explanation, and then the group turned and hastened to evacuate, and Varian handed the tired Claudia a bottle of special recovery potion to help the girl regain her combat strength.
"Well, the king of humanity is smarter than expected, but it's a pity that you've been targeted."
On the 10,000-year-old glacier, the Lich King watched with great interest as Mount Hyjal strode towards the Confederate army.
