Hundreds of griffon knights hover over the sentry posts south of the Hellfire Fortress. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
This is the griffon unit of the Children of Lothar from Fort Glory, led by the leader Danas Thorbain himself.
After the sentinel reported the situation at the Hellfire Fortress, he thought for ten minutes, but could not make a judgment.
After another two minutes, two mysterious knights, accompanied by Olivia and Vanessa, entered the council chamber and met Danas.
No one knew what they were talking about, except that only seven minutes had passed for Danas to give the order to assemble.
In these times of war, all soldiers were on standby twenty-four hours a day. Even the griffon knights, who had already fallen asleep, woke up the moment the assembly horn sounded, and then rushed out without having time to wash or anything, put on their clothes and pick up their weapons.
Their barracks gathered in the griffon training ground, and it took only three minutes for them to assemble, and then they stood by the order of the captain of the griffon brigade.
After another five minutes, Danas rode his horse to the training grounds, dismounted, took a griffin from the griffon's caretaker's hand, turned it over, skillfully pulled the reins, and the griffon flew into the sky.
Immediately after, all the griffons flew into the sky and lined up in ten rows in front of Danas.
Danas drew his sword, the tip pointing diagonally upward.
He glanced at everyone present with his eyes, his serious and cold expression made all the cavalry silent, the scene was shrouded in an invisible atmosphere of slaughter, and even the adventurers and ordinary people who saw all this stopped walking and talking, and turned their eyes to the training ground, and the entire Glory Fort fell into silence.
A moment later, only one voice rang out, and it was Danas's voice.
"The Orcs of Hellfire Fortress are our enemies, and the demons of Kil'Gardan's Throne are our enemies. The Sentinel reports that the demon is storming the Hellfire Fortress, and the news has been confirmed from other sources. ā
"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, the best chance we have to exterminate the orcs and demons in one fell swoop!"
"Now, warriors, follow me to kill the orcs, destroy the demons, and complete our unfinished mission!"
There was silence for three seconds, until the captain of the griffon brigade shouted the first slogan, and then all the other griffon knights shouted the same slogan.
"Glory! Mission! Fight! ā
Uniform.
No impassioned, no screams, just coldness and murderous intent.
An all-out assault on the Hellfire Fortress, something they had done a thousand times in their dreams, had finally become a reality today.
This group of veterans of a hundred battles has been guarding the Glory Fort for a full seventeen years. Even after the dark door was opened, they were begged by their relatives to go back, but they stayed here.
It's not that the blood in my heart has become cold, it's not that family affection has become ruthless, but because there are no recruits to take their place and reach a tacit understanding with those griffin companions who have been with them for many years.
Other soldiers can leave, because they only need two or three months of training to go into battle, but they can't.
It takes three or five years, or even longer, to train a qualified griffin knight, and the burden on them is far ten times heavier than that of an ordinary soldier. Today's Fort of Glory is facing an unprecedented threat, and they can't leave.
Danas raised his left hand, and the slogan stopped.
Danas glanced at the group of veterans who had been following him for many years, this was all the griffon cavalry in Fort Glory, a full one hundred and three, each of whom he could name accurately, and even knew the approximate time when they became griffon knights.
Seventeen years of perseverance, seventeen years of sticking to promises, seventeen years of hard struggle, some people have fallen, and some people have added in. The last new griffin knight has been here for five years.
And now, they will face the final and toughest battle.
"My brothers, my comrades-in-arms, I cannot give you a stable life, and I cannot guarantee that you will all survive this battle. But I can make you a promise. ā
"When this battle is over, when we have completely destroyed the orcs and demons, all of you can leave here and return to Azeroth to live the life you want."
"The living take the ashes of their dead comrades, and let them return to their homeland with you. Tell their children, their wives, or their elders that they died in honor and that the glory belongs to them! ā
"We need to get out first to meet the most fearsome of the enemies, kill the flying units among them, destroy the cannons and bed crossbows, and wipe out the casters and archers among them with the Storm Warhammer."
"The follow-up troops are being assembled, and they will follow later."
"Now, let's go!"
One hundred and three griffons formed four columns and flew in the direction of the Hellfire Fortress.
By the time they arrived at the Hellfire Fortress outpost, the orcs in charge had already been slain by the demons, and the demons who had replaced them had also died, and the two mysterious death knights, along with Olivia and Vanessa, hovered in the sky on gargoyles.
Danas ordered the griffons to stand by while he himself flew ahead, nodding at Olivia and Vanessa, and then turned his gaze to the two Death Knights with a mixed expression.
"Alessandros, Dassaulthan, I didn't expect you to become like this."
Yes, those two Death Knights are none other than Sean's followers, Alessandros Mograini, and Dasohan Sedan.
They were old friends of Danas, and they didn't expect to meet on such an occasion seventeen years later.
Da Sohan was silent for a moment, then suppressed the excitement in his heart, and said lightly: "Danas, now is not the time to catch up. The Doomsday Lord Kazak has traveled to Mathridon's lair, Sean and Khadgar killed Mathridon and are now ambushing in the depths of the cavern to try to kill Kazak, and this is the best time. We now need to fight a bloody battle, and perhaps many of our soldiers will die in this battle. ā
Danas shook his head, his bright eyes full of vicissitudes.
"Veterans don't die, they just keep dying out. The battlefield is the destination of veterans, unless they survive and return home. This was the last battle of the griffin cavalry troops, and they either died here or survived victoriously and then retired and returned home. It's not my last battle, but it's theirs. ā
Danas sets his sights on the distant Hellfire Fortress, where flying Doom Guards and Dreadfuls are located.
He pointed his sword at the demons, and his voice was as deep and calm as a drum.
"Now, come with me!" (To be continued.) )
