Act XXXVIII: The Battle for Fort Riptide II
The strong smell of blood permeated the Arathi steppe, and the roars and wild shouts echoed in this canyon, and dozens of ogres began to storm the human army formation, but in vain.
The forest troll's javelins rained down on the Riptide Legion, causing a wail among the Riptide Legion.
Locke frowned slightly, although the situation not far away had happened as he had imagined, but the human army that was twice as large had not been damaged at all.
The human legion's counterattack began, forming formations to strangle the ogres that had rushed into the legion, and sending the remnants of cavalry to pursue the forest trolls on the outskirts.
Bang la blah
A burst of javelins flew by, and the cavalry that had pursued them turned into stoppers in an instant.
The situation deteriorated little by little, and only the Death Knight of the Riptide Legion was seen, resurrecting the dead ogre, and then began to attack Locke's army violently.
Looking down from where Locke was standing, he could only see the ant-like figure on the battlefield, and more and more vultures gathered in the sky, which made Locke's heart tighten.
What he feared most had happened, if the battlefield became a simple war of attrition, then I was afraid that the forest trolls would not be able to bear much loss and would be destroyed.
You know, the sharp increase in the population of forest trolls is because of the immigration bill issued by Locke, after attracting a small cluster of forest trolls in New Tran, it was difficult to restore the tribe to 2,000 people, although he did not directly manage the Deadwood tribe, but after a while, Locke's command envelope still had to be placed on the table of High Priest Ryan on time.
"Go on like this...... The casualties were too heavy, and a way to rout the enemy had to be devoured. Locke lowered his head, and in just a few moments, the situation on the battlefield changed again, and the death knights in the Riptide Castle Legion directly resurrected the dead human soldiers on the ground and launched a new attack on the trolls.
This is no longer a simple harvest of the Riptide Castle Kingdom, but the last strength of the Riptide Castle Kingdom in addition to the early Scourge Legion.
These forest trolls are clearly no match for Riptide Castle.
Locke raised the Destroyer of Worlds in his hands, and beside him, Alice's ghost loomed from the sky.
"The weapons in the royal family of Riptide Fort are blessed by the gods, master. Those weapons have mysterious effects. Alice's cold voice rang in Locke's ears.
After Alice and Laurena discussed, the two became unusually respectful of Locke, and Locke didn't know what the two were planning, but for now Locke believed that the two of them could be trusted.
At least, both men wanted Prince Garin dead, and so did themselves.
After all, the future of Azeroth must change.
"You just said the blessings of the gods, can you elaborate on them?" Locke did not rush to the battlefield, but put away the weapon in his hand and quietly looked at Alice at his side.
The ghost floated in mid-air, not saying a word for a long time, as if caught up in a distant memory, and soon, she said slowly: "The previous king of Riptide Fort once told me that there is a huge tomb under Riptide Castle, which is the tomb of Emperor Arathso, and in it contains the weapon that the emperor used all his life, and it is an artifact. ”
"In the distant past, there was a king of Riptide Castle who went to the tomb of Emperor Arathso the Great and smelted the artifact that had lost its divine power, and practiced it into two parts."
"The first is called the Sword of Tolbane, and its whereabouts are still unknown, and the second is called the Axe of Tolbain, and it is now in the hands of Prince Garin."
"That's why I said that the weapons of the royal family of Fort Riptide have been blessed by the gods."
Locke nodded, but this time, his pupils narrowed slightly, and he saw the Blood Knight Serriek, the future known as the Death Knight of Conquest, now truly an undead.
This result made Locke creepy, he never thought that Sir Searlek would become a death knight, in Locke's opinion, the fact that he came to Riptide Castle to change the future had already changed the fate of the unfortunate death knight, and he would not become an undead.
But reality tells Locke that not only did he not change the fate of Seryrk who must become an undead, but instead accelerated the process, which made Locke's heart cold.
"It's impossible, why, that necromancer still has the ability to transform a death knight." Locke looked at the necromancer coldly, only to see that the necromancer was also looking at Locke with a smile.
"Don't worry, you'll be like that soon." The voice of the necromancer Kuran was transmitted to Locke's ears with magic conduction, which made Locke clench the hilt of his sword in anger in anger.
This lowly undead, for a while, Locke remembered who the necromancer named Kuran was, he was a nobleman of Lordaeron, and a member of the famous Faroff family, and their family's last castle was finally converted into a psychic college, which made Locke still have a little impression.
But Locke didn't expect that this big family would actually have a relationship with the Lich King in such an early timeline, and could also use the influence of the family to beat the necromancer to the side of the King of Riptide.
"The throne of Riptide Castle, it's fascinating, but I'm going to give it to a woman now." Locke whispered in his mouth.
It had to be so, he had to get the approval of the royal family of Riptide Castle if he wanted to take many densely populated areas and farms, and if he established himself as king, it would be a price that Locke could not afford.
Locke calmed the somewhat restless velociraptor under his crotch, and the emerald green velociraptor finally protested harshly to Locke when he saw that his friends had rushed into the human phalanx to fight.
"Alright, alright, good man, let's rush once." Locke pulled the reins of the velociraptor and quickly rushed towards the phalanx of Riptide Castle.
At this time, among the legions of Riptide Castle, two of the most striking targets were Prince Garlin, who wielded the sword of Torbain, and Sir Serrijk, the Death Knight.
Prince Garin didn't know where he got the Sword of Tolbairn, this sword known as the "Troll Slayer", when fighting against the forest trolls, it can not only bring morale reinforcement to the surrounding human soldiers, but also cause great damage to the forest trolls.
I only saw Prince Garin holding the sword of Torbain, directly confronting an elite mid-level troll berserker.
