Chapter 288: Then Believe in the Light
Led by the Evil Lord Zakun, the Demon Guardian walked towards Stratholme with neat steps. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The three-meter-tall demon caused great panic among the soldiers on the city walls, and at the urging of Baron Oryx Rivendell, the archers shivered and pulled their bowstrings, and a sparse rain of swords did not cause much trouble to the demons.
Arthas cunningly chose to use the most oppressive-looking Demon Guardian as the vanguard, in order to suppress the morale of Stratholme's defenders in this way, and it seems to be working well.
These soldiers are now frightened by the demons, and Stratholme has been at peace for a long time, and although everyone is determined to defend their homeland, it is inevitable that there will be accidents when they face the demons for the first time.
At the critical moment, Drunken Wind nodded to Illidan, and then Illidan directly spread his wings and jumped off the city wall and crossed the moat.
Subsequently, the Demon Hunter troops also took the initiative to meet the Demon Guards.
Don't look at the Demon Guardians to look great, but in reality, these guys are just ordinary soldiers of the Burning Legion, and they win by numbers - Demon Hunters are a piece of cake against such enemies!
The flexible body style ensures the safety of the demon hunters, they take the initiative to absorb the evil energy of the demon guards, and then transform them into their own power to fight back, from the city walls, it seems that each demon hunter is surrounded by a large number of demon guards, but these clumsy demon guards have no way to take the demon hunters at all!
This situation greatly relieved the pressure of ordinary soldiers, and everyone gradually calmed down when they saw the demon's embarrassment - it seems that they are not so terrible!
Having achieved their strategic objectives, the Demon Hunters retreated under the cover of the Watchers, jumped onto the walls, and then went into hiding.
The combat power of the demon hunters made Arthas, who was commanding in the rear, frown, these night elves who looked like demons were obviously troops that were completely aimed at demons, and they should not be many in number, and the damage they brought to the demons was not much.
But this insignificant "small victory" of the Demon Hunters shattered Arthas's plans, and the morale of the Stratholme defenders increased instead of decreasing!
Since there is no way for a simple demon guard, then show that the carriage and horses are just facing each other!
Arthas raised the frost grief in his hand, and the undead behind him began to roar.
With a roar, the meat grinder carts were pushed out, and then one by one the Abyss Demon Kings walked towards the battlefield, and the demon guards began to regroup.
The Abyss Demon King began to summon a rain of flames towards the city, and the meat grinder unleashed clumps of flesh with the plague, covering the demon defenders' advance.
Baron Rivendell wouldn't dare let these things fly up the walls, as the plague might spread in Stratholme!
A small number of High Elves, under the leadership of Rothman, have erected defensive magic shields on the walls of Stratholm - although the High Elves' Sun King is still arguing with the Silvermoon Council, the High Elves who evacuated from Dalaran have come to Stratholme under the leadership of their prince Kael'thas, this time the Sun King directly bypassed the Silvermoon Council, saying that "this is a voluntary revenge military operation organized by the High Elves living in Dalaran, and Prince Kael'thas also participated as one of the six councils of Dalaran."
These High Elves have done Stratholme a great favor, and in war, these strategic weapons are incredibly powerful!
……………………
Under the city of Stratholme, an incomparably tragic siege battle began.
By the time the Demon Guardians reached the moat, the entire army had already suffered heavy damage from the rain of arrows.
But these mighty demons were not afraid of death, and did not flinch, and jumped off the moat and swam towards the city walls.
Seeing this, Thrall moved, and he began to pray for the power of the elemental spirits.
The originally calm water suddenly surged, and the entire moat was instantly filled with exaggerated whirlpools and undercurrents, and the demon guards had nowhere to focus in the water, and they were all wrapped up and collided together.
Miserable green blood gushed out, and soon the entire moat was dyed the color of demonic blood.
In this case, the Demon Guardian did not flinch, and continued to enter the water one after another, and then was stirred into stumps and severed limbs.
However, Thrall noticed that something was wrong, and he felt that although he could get a response from the elemental spirits, his ability to control the water of the moat was getting weaker and weaker!
The Demon Guardians are polluting the moat with their own demon blood!
With this joint figured out, Thrall stopped his attack and instead tried to purify the river.
The raging waters calmed down again, and the demons began to cross the river one after another, coming to the bottom of the walls.
The demon's siege method is very simple, there is no need for any ladders, and there is no need for any siege vehicles, the tall demon guards directly raised the weapons in their hands and slashed the city walls.
This method sounds stupid, but it's actually very effective.
Although the Demon Guardians are clumsy in their movements, they have great strength, and every time they slash is a huge damage to the city wall, often a few axes go down, and the city wall will be broken.
Seeing this, Baron Rivendell drew the sword at his waist.
The trombonist blew the trumpet, and to the shrill sound of the trumpet, the defenders began to push the boulders that had long been arranged on the ramparts.
Some of these stones were prepared in advance, and some were obtained by demolishing the dwellings around the city walls.
When huge boulders roll down the ten-meter-high walls of Stratholme, even the Demon Guardians will be smashed to pieces.
These boulders not only repelled the attack of the demon guards, but also strengthened the city wall in disguise, making the demon's plan to "cut down" the city wall directly bankrupt.
Seeing this, Arthas directly mobilized the demon's air force.
A large number of demon bats and doomsday guards, led by Lord Kazak, flew directly to the city walls!
Seeing this scene, Onexia jumped directly into the air, turned into a dragon shape, and then roared!
The Black Dragon Legion received the Queen's order and flapped their wings and rose into the air to intercept the attack of the Doomsday Guards.
Although with the help of the black dragon, the number of Doomsday Guards is too much, and there are still many who can break through the interception and fall on the city wall, facing these hideous demons, many soldiers are once again surrounded by fear.
This time, it was Tirio Fording who stepped forward.
"Soldiers, pick up your weapons!"
"Demons are nothing to fear, they will die when attacked!"
"Think of the family behind you!" Old Verding opened his aura of piety and raised the hammer in his hand, "If you are still confused and afraid—"
"Believe in the Light, then!" (To be continued.) )
