Chapter 507: Unexpected Reinforcements 3 (2/4)
Three minutes later, the griffin landed on the deck.
As the ship continues to sail towards Fadil Bay, Jiang Zheng increases the power of the game warehouse, keeping an eye out for possible reefs and Naga and fishmen, and then asks how many troops Sally has brought with him, and why Gianna is here.
"Nicholas, we built the city of Theramore on a peninsula in the Dust Swamp, and I am Lord of Theramore. We're going to open up the swamp between Theramore and the Northern Castle and grow new crops there, but not yet. Theramore's food reserves were insufficient, so I brought three ships and came to Lordaeron to buy food. ”
When Gianna saw Jiang Zheng, it seemed that she had endless words, and the archmage turned into a little woman, and she kept talking: "Kurtilas is a kingdom on the sea, the farm is limited, and the food grown is only enough for our own food, so we can only buy it from Lordaeron." As soon as we landed in Nanhai Town, we saw that Sally's sister was recruiting fishing boats, and she knew about Fort Rapids, so we brought them over first. Nicholas, congratulations on becoming the Grand Duke of Riptide. ”
Gianna has a special status, she is the lord of Theramore, and Theramore was jointly built by multinational joint forces and refugees, so Theramore is equivalent to an independent city, a free city, or even an independent kingdom outside the alliance countries, which is created by the special situation at that time and the background of Gianna's three countries, which cannot be replicated.
Theramore now has 30,000 men, about the same size as the Valley of the Hearth, and Gianna's power and status are not comparable to any marquis duke.
Old Ferding is also under the dual management of Kalia and Uther, but Gianna is not responsible to anyone.
But now Jiang Zao has become the Grand Duke of Riptide Castle, the theoretical master of the entire Arathi Heights. Because of King Soras, Kalia gave Jiang Zai too much power, and basically the entire Arathi Heights is equivalent to a vassal principality of the Lordaeron Kingdom, so Jiang Zao's status is the same as Gianna's.
Of course, you have to get past the current hurdle.
"I brought seven hundred soldiers, one hundred and fifty paladins, and fifty priests."
Sally's face was still cold, and she looked at the sea in front of her without squinting: "Grand Duke, this is all the troops I can mobilize, and there must be a part of the troops left behind in Nanhai Town." As you may already know, Alsace has appeared! Responding to your request for help was a decision I made on my own, and I haven't reported it to my father yet. If he knew, I'm afraid...... Wouldn't agree. ”
If old Mograini knew about this, he might not really agree, because the town of Nanhai is very important, and at the moment of the appearance of Alsace, there must be enough troops to defend it, and there is no room for error.
Fort Riptide was important, but the military town that had been lost at the hands of his son was even more important to him.
Even if you consider it purely from a geographical point of view, Nanhai Town is the only port in the Hillsbrad Hills, and it is the southern gateway to Dalaran and even Lordaeron, which is directly related to the safety of the 150,000 people of the entire Hillsbrad Hills, 30,000 people of Dalaran, 30,000 people of the Fenris Islands, and 250,000 people of Dalaran, while Fort Riptide is only 20,000 people, plus the people scattered outside the Arathi Heights, it adds up to about 30,000 people, even if it is breached, and the wall of Soladin is blocked, for Lordaeron, It's really not as important as Nanhai Town.
In this case, Sally was able to call the shots and respond to his pleas, which is commendable.
"Sally, thank you. Also, don't call me Grand Duke, call me by my name. ”
Jiang Zai smiled, his face changed suddenly, and his gaze swept over the sea in front of him: "There is a reef three kilometers ahead, and there are many Naga!" ”
When Gianna heard this, her face changed slightly, and she hurriedly ordered the fleet to slow down and find a way to kill those Naga first.
Because in the ocean, Naga is the absolute overlord, it is difficult to deal with, and it can even be said that there is no way to deal with it at all.
Kul Tiras's navy sails all year round, and whether it encounters a fish-man or a naga, it can hide as far as it can. Because there is no oil or water to kill them, not to mention that it is difficult to kill them, and if you are not careful, you will be scuttled through the bottom of the boat.
The ships that were sunk by the fish-man and the Naga have been unknown to know hundreds or thousands of them throughout the ages!
The vast sea is full of mystery and unknown. The navy, which is as strong as the Kurtilas navy, is also too weak.
"There aren't many nagas, less than a hundred, don't worry. The ship continues to sail at its current speed, Gianna, you use spells to locate yourself, be careful of the reef, I will escort you! ”
The situation at Riptide Fort is critical, and you can't delay every minute or second, so it's better not to slow down.
Jiang Zheng jumped into the sea, and swam forward at a speed far faster than the ship.
Five minutes later, he surfaced, but more than twenty Naga corpses sank to the bottom of the sea, and the remaining Naga fled frantically, and the Ocean Overlord encountered a natural enemy!
Xuanwu is a divine beast in the water, and in terms of manipulating the flow of water, even Naga can't compare.
And the aura of its superior also made the Naga restless and frightened, like a mouse seeing a cat.
Those naga were still rushing up at first, but in less than two minutes, they were killed by one-fifth of Jiang Zai, realizing that this was a bone that could not be gnawed at all, so they had to run away, and then they were chased by Jiang Zai for a short while, and it was impossible to be distracted to attack the ship.
Soon, the ship bypassed the reef, and Jiang Zai was sure that the Nagas had fled and would not return, so he tread on the water and flew onto the boat.
After another fifteen minutes, they finally landed.
Gianna ordered some men to be left to guard the ship, while the others went ashore with the soldiers of the Scarlet Crusaders.
The shipbuilding skills of Kurtiras surpassed that of the whole of Azeroth, and the three ships that Gianna brought with him to carry the grain were the largest, and the sailors and the soldiers who protected the ships added up to six hundred. Now all but the sailors and a small number of soldiers remained, and the rest of the people were ashore, and there were three hundred men.
Coupled with the seven hundred Scarlet Crusader soldiers, a total of thousands of people, it is already a very good team, after all, the number of professionals accounts for one-third.
"Darian, it's up to you! There's a road over there that leads directly to the eastern wall of Riptide Castle, and you take them there! ”
Jiang Zai commanded, and then turned his head to look at Gianna: "The situation in Riptide Fort is critical, let's go first?" ”
"Okay." Gianna readily agreed, and then looked at Jiang Zao, with an indescribable meaning in her tone: "Nicholas, I can't fly, you can only take me." ”
"Okay." Jiang Zai didn't think about it, and nodded in agreement.
One after the other, the two flew to Riptide Castle in a griffin.
At this moment, the battle situation in Riptide Fort is in full swing.
The ten-meter-thick city wall has become a meat grinder and a bone crusher, I don't know how many undead have fallen here, the guards of Riptide Fort have also suffered a lot of casualties, and even those warriors of the Fenris People's Army have been damaged, and one by one the earth spirits were buried under the corpses and broken bones, and then crawled out without hurry and continued to fight.
King Solas relied on the magic sword Apocalypse to crush Orgrim in terms of the energy level under control, but Orgrim's taller size gave him more strength, and the two legendary death knights actually fought for half an hour!
If this was an ordinary person, I am afraid that they would have been exhausted and paralyzed a long time ago, but they are all undead, even if their bones are broken, they will automatically repair and continue to fight under the effect of legendary level death energy.
It's really comparable.
Orgrim was about the worse, but there were other undead attacking Soras, so there was no winner until now.
Fenna and Liadeline stand in two different places under the walls, and any undead who come close are eliminated, but soon they also encounter their opponents:
More than a dozen Death Knights blocked them, including Orc Death Knights and Human Death Knights, several of whom King Solas knew, and others who knew him, turned out to be the general of the Arathso cavalry unit in the Valley of Refuge, who had now been resurrected by Kel'thugad to attack Fort Riptide.
The strength of these death knights is very good, the energy level is at least the high-level paladin level, and two or three are at the level of the great knight, with the help of necromancers and undead archers, they can block Fenna and Liadrin.
Fenna is okay, the legendary-level holy light protects her safety, but Liadrin's can't, she has already suffered a lot of injuries, even if the holy light can heal these wounds, but her physical exertion is serious, and she is already very tired!
If it weren't for the spell help of Archmage Angela, and if it weren't for the Holy Light to relieve her fatigue, she wouldn't be able to survive now.
In the sky, the Hammer Griffin Knights had already killed all the frost dragons, as well as dozens of gargoyles and two Archaeopteryx, and were fighting the remaining gargoyles and Archaeopteryx.
The griffin knights have been severely attritional, with more than thirty dead and wounded, and the brute-hammer dwarves have killed red-eyed!
The Ancestral Dragons are far more agile and ferocious than the Frost Dragons, and the Dragon Raiders are proficient in combat skills and fighting skills, and they cooperate with the Ancestral Dragons tacitly, at a distance of enough distance, the Ancestral Dragons can dodge the storm hammers of the griffon knights, and the powerful Dragon Raider Knights can directly use the spear dragon spear to knock the storm hammer away, which is definitely a strong opponent of the griffin knights.
Air supremacy, challenged!
It was in this situation that Jiang Zheng came.
But his target is not at the city walls, but at the rear of the army of the undead, Kel'thugad, who has been pinned down by Merry and has not been able to cast a legendary spell until now!
"Good man, fly over to that lich! Gianna, we're going to meet your brother! ”
Kel'thugad was also a student of Antonidas, much older than Gianna, and was naturally Gianna's senior brother.
"Good!" Gianna is no longer a novice archmage a year ago, so many wars have honed her into a senior archmage with rich combat experience, even if it is not as good as the top archmages such as Archmage Modra and Archmage Ansrem, but it is not far behind.
After confronting high-level legendary demons such as Anatheron, Azgalo, and Kazloga, and after witnessing Akmund's might, Kel'thugad could no longer let her be afraid, and she had the confidence and courage to confront him head-on.
