Act VIII: Despair
Gargoyles are an aerial unit with average power, except that their invincible Wind Blade spells and flying abilities make them a place in the Scourge sequence. Locke knew that once these gargoyles were allowed to torture and kill the townspeople, the front line would soon be routed, and the gargoyles would be reharvested again.
"Everyone has to take their weapons, and if a gargoyle is going to pounce, everyone will attack."
Gargoyles capture the inhabitants by grabbing them in mid-air and then smashing them to death on front-line soldiers, thus causing panic. However, given the vigilance of the citizens, it is unlikely that the gargoyle will be able to do so.
Bang!!
There was a loud noise at the front of the town, followed by a scream from the front line: "Abomination is in town." ”
Locke looked at Ambermere's front line, a monster weighing more than 600 pounds, about three meters tall, with green plague gas lingering around it, and as soon as it burst into the line, the abomination began to swing the kitchen knives and chains in their hands.
When the chain made of steel touched the wooden shield of the militia, the wooden shield was directly torn apart, and the militia was directly knocked into the air, flying in the air for about five or six meters, and with a heavy "bang" on the ground, there was no breath.
Apparently those who are already dead cannot be dead.
"The pinnacle of the elite." Locke frowned slightly, and he gripped the hilt of the Destroyer of Worlds tightly.
The soldiers guarding Ambermere reacted quickly, and immediately rushed towards Abomination with huge shields and long swords, Lordaeron's soldiers were highly trained, and their combat effectiveness was unquestionable. But the problem is that the weapons in their hands are simply not going to do harm to abomination.
Instead, it spreads the cloud of plague on the abomination.
The thick fat of the abomination epidermis fended off a large number of attacks from Lordaeron's soldiers, and even the fireball technique that accidentally shot out of the crowd only caused the abomination to cause a little painless damage.
Abomination didn't care about the damage of these little bugs, and all that was left in its mind was the necromancer's order to break through the line and go to the middle of the town to eat meat. As an abomination at the pinnacle of the elite, he has already learned the Plague Poison Cloud. These emerald green gases can make humans gradually lose their ability to resist.
This also makes Abomination the ground backbone of the Scourge Legion.
"Get out of the way!"
The garrison stationed in Ambermere shouted loudly, his name was Anko, a human warrior from the north of Lordaeron, and he shouted at the soldiers beside him, "Tell the militia to continue to deal with the skeletons, and the soldiers who have gaps will come to me to settle the abomination." ”
"Cavalry charge."
With the roar of the garrison officer Anko, all the human knights stationed in Ambermir charged towards the abomination, and the charge of the mounted cavalry made the earth tremble slightly. The spears in their hands shook in the wind, and the iron armor on their arms shone silvery-white in the night light.
"For the honor of Lordaeron."
"We defend honor with blood!"
The power of the cavalry charge is very powerful, and Locke estimates that the impact power this time may have the strength of the elite peak.
In order to obtain the low-level knighthood of cavalry in Lordaeron, the weakest must be the elite beginner, and after a series of training in the barracks, you can only obtain this title. While obtaining the knighthood, you can not only receive an elite-level war horse, but also a set of blue equipment.
This also meant that a formed cavalry formation could make Lordaeron invincible.
"Lordaeron really lives up to his reputation." Locke said a little calmly, and then he summoned the fire element to guard the citizens in the rear, and he had a deep understanding of Lordaeron's famous "mounted cavalry" Locke, if it weren't for the fall of Arthas, it would be impossible to capture Lordaeron's royal city.
At least not for a long time.
Lordaeron's cavalry was terrifying, and every time they charged, they had a catastrophic consequence. The terrifying impact combined with their elite-level combat power makes them kings in close combat.
But the heavy cavalry requires very high physical strength, when the twelve cavalry formed a triangular charging battle formation and crushed in the sea of skeletons, in just 3 minutes, after causing a large number of skeletons to be shattered, it encouraged the Lordaeron soldiers who were still struggling, and at the same time let more skeletons rush over from the dark forest.
Several skeleton archers fired a large number of arrows, but the shot at the heavy cavalry only caused a click, and did not break the defense at all.
"Gargoyles?"
Locke frowned slightly, and then decided to join the battle, and he suddenly jumped from his horse and jumped to the roof of a hut. Use the Grip of Death to pull a gargoyle in mid-air down and look in front of you.
"Da Da Da"
The gargoyle soon lost signs of life and turned into a pile of stones. But the undead's tactics worked, and the gargoyles' harassment of the cavalry made it impossible for the mounted cavalry to keep the charge, and they all slowed down. An abomination rushed out of the forest and pulled a cavalryman off his horse with his thick arms. Then a large number of skeleton soldiers will surround them, followed by a terrible scream.
"Charge, or you'll all die." Ambermere's garrison officer Anko shouted loudly, waving his arms to signal that the cavalry should continue to charge.
On the other hand, after Locke pulled the three-headed gargoyles with the Grip of Death, many gargoyles began to move away from Locke, because the gargoyles found that Locke's Grip of Death also had a cast range.
Bang!
Abomination's massive body fell from the ground.
When the mounted cavalry rushed to the front of Abomination, they joined forces with the Lordaeron soldiers to strangle Abomination, and with the arrival of the cavalry, many of the militia began to regain their courage. When Anko sliced open the stomach of Abomination with the sword in his hand, he discovered that this evil undead beast had been stitched together from numerous corpses.
If this abominable corpse is not dealt with, then soon the plague will break out in Ambermir.
Knock knock!
The shaking of the earth continued, and the abomination of the two ends that came out of the silver pine forest made the faces of the soldiers who had finally regained a little morale full of despair, although Ambermir had good force and a wild mage to help, but in front of the undead army that fought with the advantage of numbers, maybe Ambermir would be destroyed if he could not see the sun tomorrow.
The nearest garrison of Lordaeron will not arrive until early tomorrow morning.
Despair was already written in the eyes of all because they could not see the possibility of victory. (To be continued.) )
