Chapter 48: On the Way Back (2)

It was a castle suspended in the sky, a fortress that flew above the sky, casting a shadow from the sky and descending on the people on the way back. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The shape of the castle was familiar to Hugh Belmont, who had been dealing with these wonders floating in the sky for as long as he could remember.

The Scourge Legion's Floating City!

As the fortress of the Scourge Legion, each floating city is responsible for transporting troops. On each floating city, there are magic crystals containing powerful magic power, and these magic crystals, through the magic runes engraved in the floating city, provide the entire castle with suspended energy. At the same time, it can also be used to open portals and project troops from a distance.

In fact, at the beginning, Naxxramas, the large floating city of the Scourge Legion, once posed a great threat to the main cities of the Eastern Kingdom. A fortress suspended in the sky, limiting the vast majority of the army, doomed many means to be unable to threaten this city above the sky. If it weren't for the final fluke defeat of Kel'thugad, it finally forced Naxxramas to leave the Eastern Kingdom.

And now, a floating city has appeared in the sky above everyone.

"Everyone, take out your weapons and prepare to meet the enemy!" Now is not the time to comb through the memories in his head, Hugh Belmont thought to himself, looking at the floating city that appeared above. So, riding on the death horse, he cried out loudly. "Warriors, protect the spellcasters, everyone increase your attention, and beware of the surprise attack of the undead of the Scourge!"

Under Hugh Belmont's call, the panicked team members who had been thinking at first quickly settled down. Although none of them had been regular soldiers before, they were at least experienced adventurers, and some even participated in major battles at one point. At the command, all the members of the team rolled down from their mounts and drew their weapons, the warriors erected a wall of shields and surrounded the casters, and the archers took their longbows and mounted their arrows.

Now, the people in the hilly area, facing the attack, I am afraid that they will not be able to easily escape from this place. The area where you are now, with rugged hills on one side and unsheltered wilderness on the other, if it is only an attack from the ground, even if you can't beat it, you can evacuate with the help of your mount, but if you are facing an attack from above the sky, then everyone has no choice but to fight to the death.

Everyone watched as the floating fortress got closer and closer to them, and the sweat seeping through them soaked through their clothes.

Cool blue flames began to burn from his pupils, and Hugh Belmont looked at the sky as the levitating fortress approached and took the Sword of Oberleon Soul Breaker from behind.

"It seems to be a bit ...... Wrong? Looking at the floating city flying in the sky, Hugh Belmont frowned. He had been in the Floating City, and he had a general understanding of this kind of flying fortress, and the stronghold of the Knights of the Black Blade in the Eastern Plaguelands was the Floating Fortress called Acherus.

And now, the floating city that came from the sky seemed to be much smaller than the fortress of Acherus to the eye. Moreover, there seems to be something wrong with its flight trajectory, and some black smoke can be vaguely seen spilling out of the floating city...... Wait, black smoke?!

The floating city approached the sky above everyone, and the shadows cast from above obscured the already small amount of light, and in this way, the floating city seemed to be completely uninterested in the team of only a few dozen people on the ground, and flew over the team like this.

"What's going on?"

"The Floating City? Why? Didn't attack us? ”

“...... This is a conspiracy of the Divine Disaster, everyone be careful, those damn skeleton scum are definitely playing some kind of trick! ”

"Wait a minute, you see, the floating city is smoking...... No, it's on fire! The floating city of the Scourge Corps was on fire. ”

"Oh my God! Could it be that the floating city is attacking the fortress? ”

"There's a crack in that floating city, oh, there's a big gap, and where all that black smoke came from, what the hell is causing so much damage?"

"Fuck it, these damn scourge dregs......"

“...... I'm a little worried about the fortress, will this floating city be beaten like this because it attacked the fortress. I remember that a few months ago, Orgrim was attacked by one of these floating cities. ”

......

“...... Something exploded! "Look at the huge gap in the floating city flying through the sky, and the black smoke that keeps spilling out of the gap. Hugh Belmont was sure that there must have been a fire burning inside the floating city, and if nothing else, the floating city would have crashed from the sky.

"But I don't remember that at Warsong Fortress, there were weapons powerful enough to cause a floating city to be nearly destroyed." At Hugh Belmont's side, Ikris the Shadow Agent of the Forsaken stepped forward and said, "...... It seems that after we left, there was a war on the side of the fortress......"

"An army of the undead on the plains of Nassame!" Hugh Belmont said, "Only there's a war, damn it, I thought I could catch it." ”

"Then it seems that the battlefield is over!" Ikris turned to Hugh Belmont and asked, "I don't know, what's going on over there?" ”

"It's a win! If it weren't for the big victory, then this floating city would not be so miserable, and it can almost be said that this floating city has been scrapped. Hugh Belmont replied, "I don't know how a floating city was almost destroyed, but if the Horde had won, it would have been easy to say that the floating city was on the run, and it was fair to say why it wouldn't care about the ants below us!" ”

Putting Oberline back on his back, Hugh Belmont turned and shouted at the still talkative players, "Quiet! That floating city probably won't bother with us guys, and now, everyone, get on your mounts, and we'll get out of this area quickly. ”

"If you have any doubts, we'll know when we get back to the fortress!"
