Chapter 57: The Decisive Battle (9) Counterattack
To borrow a phrase from a previous life, this is paddling, right?
Claudia followed Varian's words, and suddenly couldn't laugh or cry, only to see that the necromancers had an excellent grasp of the distance, and were firmly in the ranger's precise range, in addition to sparing no effort to release death fanaticism to their teammates, they also had a variety of death or shadow spells on the front line of the alliance, but the accuracy was a little worse, and many spells hit the wooden walls, the ground, and even their own people.
It's no wonder that Varian couldn't understand it for a while, presumably it was the first time he had seen this kind of scene, Claudia explained:
"Your Majesty, they should be performing."
"Performance?" Varian shook his head a little speechless after he understood, not only Varian, but many officers of the alliance also discovered the necromancer's paddling behavior, and soon, the two sides had a tacit understanding, as long as the necromancer did not cross the line, the alliance side would not waste valuable long-range power on the necromancer, and the necromancer's spell accuracy was getting worse and worse, but Annetheron, who was far away from the front line, did not have the anomaly of the front line, he was quite satisfied with the necromancer's efforts after hearing the explosions of spells in the distance.
But even with the necromancer releasing water, the pressure on the front line of the alliance is getting bigger and bigger, the rain of chaos just now has caused a lot of chaos to the alliance, killing many soldiers, the wooden walls of the front line have also been damaged a lot by hellfire, and the team of demon guards who are not afraid of death have also rushed to the front line with magic bombardment, musket roar, and ranger arrow rain, and caused more and more casualties to human soldiers with their fierce and violent fighting style.
Demon Guardians don't know much magic and don't have a high status, but with their huge numbers, excellent discipline, and ruthless personality, they are the best soldiers, and the Burning Legion can lack high-level demons such as the Destroyer, Dread Guard, and Dread Demon King in frontal combat, but it is impossible to lack Demon Guards, they are the real backbone of the Burning Legion.
On the frontline battlefield, although a demon guard had been broken two large pieces of flesh and blood by a human musket in the process of charging, he became even more angry under the stimulation of the pain, and smashed a long axe on the shoulder of a human with the tip of three spears, although the human being hit was protected by shoulder armor, it was still heavily dented, and he fell to the ground after spitting blood from his mouth, and the demon guard was also stabbed to death by three spears.
More and more demon guards rushed to the front line, and mid-level demons such as Angry Guardians, Destruction Demons, and Doom Guardians also joined the battlefield, and the casualties of human warriors became more and more serious, especially when human high-level warriors and paladins could not stop these mid-level demons in time, it would seriously damage the morale of ordinary warriors.
An angry guard rushed to the battle line and was not stopped in time, he took himself as the vanguard, and smashed four human soldiers in a row, the blood of the human soldiers splattered the body of the angry guard, and the queue of human soldiers in front of it instantly appeared a gap and was a little messy, and the other demon guards also noticed this, strode towards this angry guard, trying to rush behind this angry guard, seeing that the strict front of the human race was about to be torn apart again, a high-level warrior discovered the situation here.
Halver Wimbane quickly pulled his greatsword out of a fear, as a high-ranking warrior of Theramore, he took the initiative to participate in the battle of the second line of defense, at this time, he saw that the soldiers of the defense line were faintly unable to support the fierce demon guard, and hurriedly strode to meet the angry guard.
Dangdangdang.
The sound of metal clashing sounded, and Halver was slashed twice, but under the protection of the double armor of plate armor and chain mail, he was not seriously injured, and severely injured the opponent's Dread Guard at the cost of minor injuries, and after two more swords, he successfully cut the Dread Guard into two pieces, and then he swiped three more swords to kill a demon guard, and yelled at the surrounding soldiers: "Keep the array, at this moment Your Majesty is watching us under the banner of the Golden Lion King, don't forget what the slogan of the First Legion is!" ”
"Loyalty, bravery, obedience to discipline!"
"Together, as one!"
"For Stormwind! For the king! ”
The surrounding soldiers shouted various slogans in response to him, and then more and more soldiers also heard the slogans here and roared the same, more and more voices responded one after another, the morale of the human legion was raised again, and the front that was faintly unable to hold on was also firm again, Halver breathed a sigh of relief and continued to rush to the front line to face the other demons.
The human soldiers of the Stormwind Kingdom are far inferior to the orcs of the tribe in terms of physical fitness, and they do not have the martial traditions of the orcs and the violent bloodlust during battle, but they can fight against the orcs in their heyday in the last war for four years with the strength of a country, and even if it is not the assassination of the king, they can continue to hold on, relying on two reasons.
First of all, the soldiers of the Stormwind Kingdom are loyal to the king, no matter how difficult the situation, as long as the golden lion banner is behind them, they can be full of will and strength to fight. But more important is the unity and steely discipline of the human soldiers, a human soldier may be weak, but when the human soldiers unite and carry spears and shields shoulder to shoulder, the wall of spears and shields they have gathered is not afraid of any equal number of aliens.
Under the banner of the Golden Lion King, Claudia also heard the slogan in the distance and looked at Varian with some admiration, she had not been loyal to the Kingdom of Stormwind for a long time, so until this moment, she knew how high the Golden Lion Banner and King Varian were in the hearts of the soldiers, just chanting the name of the king could make the soldiers burn.
Varian also noticed the scene just now, and showed an appreciative look at Halver from afar: "This Halver is good, he is a talent who can be a general, write down his credit!" ”
"Yes, Your Majesty." A soldier behind him answered.
"But soldiers can't fight on morale alone." Varian made a decision after observing the situation for a while, calling a herald: "Tell General Santis, launch the original plan." ”
Varian's order was quickly reached by the Night Elves, and behind, under the command of the druid, who had turned into storm ravens, a dozen massive two-headed Chimera's and hundreds of horned Hippogriffs flew high with their wings flapped and thunderous screeches as they flew towards the front line.
See how long you can hold on, weak mortals! Soon you will be crying and begging for mercy!
In the Burning Legion army, Kazloga, who was in charge of commanding the demonic battle, had already discovered the tremendous pressure that demons had brought to the human race, and was waiting for the collapse of mortals with full will, and when he was looking forward to the praise and reward of Lord Akmund, he saw a dozen figures about the size of a giant dragon in the sky.
Not good!
Kazloga was immediately shocked and ordered the other demons, "Send out the demon bats!" The Doomsday Guardian also flies into the air to meet the enemy! ”
Kazloga's order was quickly executed, thousands of demon bats took off to meet the enemy, and more than a dozen doomsday guards also fanned their demon wings one by one and began to take off, but it was too late, the Chimera had already taken the lead in taking off early, not to mention that the distance they needed to fly to the destination was much closer than that of the demon bats, so soon, as the Chimera took a heavy deep breath, the overwhelming liquid flames were poured down in a concentrated manner.
After the liquid flame came, several demon guards who were heading to the front line were instantly ignited, and they were burned into charcoal after rushing out a few steps, but this special liquid flame did not go out, but continued to burn, forming a sea of flames dozens of meters wide, and completely closed this not very wide road, at this moment, although the high-level demons can not be afraid of the flames, but the demon guards who are the backbone of the Burning Legion are powerless in the face of the wall of flames, and the hundreds of demons and three undead brigades on the front line became alone for a while.
"Quick, let the ice dragon go up and put out the fire! The flying troops are back to protect the ice dragons! ”
Kazloga's eyes were about to split, most of the members of the Burning Legion were good at evil energy, shadows, and flame magic, but they were not very good at the frost magic of extinguishing fires, if Kazloga was given enough time, he could also find a way to extinguish the fire, but now the most lacking thing in the Burning Legion is time, and the fastest thing to extinguish the fire is a few ice dragons.
"The time has come for a counteroffensive, a counter-attack!"
In stark contrast to Kazloga's bad mood are the commanders of the Alliance, although the Alliance officers do not know how long the sea of fireworks will last, but the reserves have begun to execute according to the plan set before the battle, and the various units of the Alliance are hurrying to prepare to inflict heavy damage or even eat this lone army.
The first to do so was the spellcaster, and a large amount of mass destruction magic was aimed at the still well-organized queue behind the demon, blasting the demon guard queue into chaos.
"Knights, march for Stormwind!"
"In Elune's name, destroy the enemy ahead."
Duke Shadong Breck led the royal knights and a large part of the paladins to charge forward on foot, and the huntress of the Feather Moon Sentinels followed closely under the leadership of General Santis, and after this part of the elite troops with a complete array were put into the battlefield, they quickly completely shredded the already scattered demon guards and undead queues, and the scattered demons and undead were quickly killed under the siege of the follow-up troops.
In the sky, the alliance's air force is divided into two, the high-ranking druid vandar deer helmet who is in charge of commanding the air force has discovered the intention of the demon commander, most of the horned eagle beasts and demon bats broke out into a fierce air battle, and blocked the ice dragon from the battlefield, and the Chimera is protected by a small number of horned eagle beasts, from the rear of the demon undead army that is blocked in the front line, and under the attack from both sides, the demon undead army, which is inferior in both numbers and elites, will soon be in decline.
Twenty minutes later, when the ice dragon finally broke through the barrier of the horned eagle beast and completely extinguished the flames that stood in its way, the alliance had already eliminated most of the undead and demons, and sounded the horn of withdrawal, and slowly retreated in an orderly and slow manner.
