Chapter 13: The Siege of the City by Natural Disasters
The Spider Demons are the Scourge Legion's surprise strike force that can infiltrate enemy rears from the sky or underground. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoThese spider demons were originally native creatures of Northrend, and were later corrupted by the Lich King and became members of the Scourge Legion.
Speaking of spider demons, we have to mention the Zerg Empire in Azeroth. Long before the Titans arrived in Azeroth, the Zerg established their own kingdom, the Yaki Empire. However, with the outbreak of war between the Zerg and the Trolls, the empire eventually collapsed into two states. One is the Angela Empire in the southern part of the ancient Kalimdor continent, and the other is the Eldraine-Nirub Empire in the north. Later, the Well of Eternity exploded, tearing the continent of Ancient Kalimdor into disconnected continents, and the Zerg and Trolls split into empires.
The Angela Empire, now located in the southernmost part of the Kalimdor continent, is a direct descendant of the Yaki Empire and the most powerful of the three Zerg Empires. The number of Zermen is scarce, and they usually appear on the battlefield as commanders. The main force of the empire is composed of magic golems made of dark magic and low-level zerg that are controlled.
One of the three Zerg empires, the Mantis Demon Empire, located in the western part of the continent of Pandaria, used the power of amber to keep their empire alive and for thousands of years. Unlike their sparsely numbered cousins, Chira, who excelled at magic, the Mantis were not only outnumbered, but also more adept at melee combat. They have evolved razor-like forelimbs and powerful wings, which have given them the strength to fight the Mogu and Pandaren.
The most mysterious of the three empires is the Eldraine-Nirub Empire located in the Northrend continent, which was built by the humanoid spider Nirub wormmen, so the world likes to call it the Spider Kingdom. Nirub Bugmen are not as aggressive as Angela Bugs and Mantis Demons, and they will never attack anyone unless their own safety is threatened. The Nirub Bugmen are so proficient in magic and architecture that most of the buildings in the Scourge are now modeled after their architectural style.
As we all know, the Lich King ruled Northrend and slaughtered a large number of Nilub Bugmen, then resurrected their corpses as undead and became minions of the Scourge Legion. Only a handful of Zerg are still alive, and they are all hiding deep underground from the Scourge Legion.
These primitive beings were transformed into undead beings, and now they are almost synonymous with horror and cruelty. These eight-clawed monsters are known as spiders or crypt demons, while some of the large, heavily armored ones are called Crypt Lords.
It is these terrifying monsters that are currently attacking the Dreadnought Fortress, and it is the strange variants of these spider demons that are flying in the sky. These variant spiders have six legs with a thick membrane between the legs, like the wings of bats. Next to its mouthparts are two razor-sharp forelimbs that can easily tear through enemy armor. On our way to support the fortress gates, from time to time these spiders would catch the people in the air and tear them in half.
"Ranged class, kill those beasts flying in the sky for me!" I yelled at the group.
Hearing my words, people began to react, and from time to time fireballs and arrows flew into the air in the procession, burning the flying spiders to ashes or nailing them into sieves.
On the way, we are joined by stragglers and lost adventurers from time to time. By the time I arrived at the fortress gate, I had already pulled out a team of about 100 people.
"Come and defend the walls! Fast! An officer-like man on the city wall shouted at us, but before he could finish speaking, he was picked up from behind by a flying spider. He used his long sword to cut the spider behind him, but the angle was too tricky, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't cut it. The spider flew higher and higher with his arms, and from time to time used its sharp mouthparts to bite his helmeted head. I saw that the officer no longer struggled, but plunged the long sword into his chest. The sword pierced his body, and the sharp edge pierced through the spider on his back. The spider whimpered for its life after a few struggles in the sky, and the corpse, which had lost its flight power, fell to the other side of the city wall like a kite with a broken string.
"Brethren, come with me and guard the walls!" I took the lead in rushing to the walls, slashing at the enemies who had climbed the walls with my broken sword.
The team encounters the Spider Demon's ascending troops, setting off a bloody storm of swords and minions. Warhammers and axes smash spiders to pieces, and the magic of destruction destroys the sinful souls of enemies. Ice arrows and fireballs whizzed past me, lightning bolts and shadow arrows blasted the spiders who landed in the city screaming.
But the enemies are endless, and for every spider demon killed, dozens of spider demons climb back to the top of the city. There is no fear in the hearts of these terrifying knotted animals, and the death of their companions makes them even more insane. They tore at the defenses who didn't know what they were doing, spewing corrosive acid to melt the paralyzed.
"Hold on! Resist! Don't be cowardly! ”
"Go to hell, brute!"
"Ahh My leg! My leg! ”
"Help...... Yes! Save ......"
"Where is the treatment, save my brother, hurry!"
"I'll fight with you!"
"Fight for the Light! Fight for Naru! ”
"Defend the city, don't give them a chance to go to the city."
We cleared a bloody path with steel and magic, and with courage and perseverance slaughtered all the enemy's ascending troops. But standing at the top of the city, I saw the swarm of insects in the ocean outside the city. Dense packets of undead worms poured out of the pits in the distance, and several massive crypt lords slammed into the walls like rams.
"Crossbowmen ready...... Put! The general's order was shouted brightly and clearly by the heralds, and after a "release" word, thousands of arrows rained down on the spider demon's ranks. A large number of spider demons were pinned to the ground by iron arrows, unable to move, and after wailing for a while, they were trampled into pulp by their own companions. The artillery on the sentry tower of the city wall also rang out, and the enemy formation was blown up by high-explosive shells, and several crypt lords were blown up in different places.
"Musketeer, target sky...... "Fire" another order arrived, and the musketeers of all races crackled and fired at the spiders flying in the sky. The projectile slashed through the air at high speed, revealing a series of clearly visible ballistic trajectories. The natural disasters in the air could not escape this dense rain of bullets, and they were carried down like birds with broken wings.
Spellcasters unleash powerful spells, and the power of lightning, storm, frost, fire, arcane, nature, sacred, and shadow relentlessly tug at the enemy's formation. A crypt lord was burned by the flames, only to be frozen into a statue in the blink of an eye. The sacred heavenly fire scorched the filthy soul of the crypt demon, but before the soul could be completely burned, the warlock sucked it into the soul stone.
But there were so many enemies that they poured out of the ground. The spider demons in the first row fell, and the spider demons in the second row immediately rushed forward over the corpses of their companions. And the spider demons in the sky are no longer flying around, but are rhythmically impacting the city wall in waves.
"There are too many of them! Think of a way! "The desperate guards were thrown off the walls by the spider demons flying from the sky.
"Heavenly! Attention Heaven! "The herald who delivered the message was a blur of flesh from the bite of the spider that pounced on him.
"Fire! Fire! Don't stop! "The musket team of hunters and rangers was swept away by hordes of flying spiders.
"Hold the walls, the Light is with us!" The paladins overseeing the battle were burned by the sulfur fire spewed out by the spider demons, and there were no bones left.
Faced with the flying spiders in the sky, the Dreadnought Fortress is very fragile. He may be able to fend off the wolf-like enemies on the ground, but he is a little powerless in the face of the threat from the sky. Are we going to be swallowed up by the Scourge like this? Will our first battle be our last? In the face of this sea of enemies, I slowly lowered my sword-holding arm, and was indifferent to the calls of my teammates. I'm really desperate, it seems that my life's journey has come to an end, and my strength from the natural disaster will also return.
Suddenly, I was punched in the face, and the force of the fist knocked my horns out of blood, but the pain and dizziness calmed me down.
"William! You cheer me up. The werewolf yelled at me, his eyes bloodshot and his teeth poking out of his lips, "Didn't you say you wanted to change the world?" Didn't you say you wanted to create the future? What's the matter, cowardice? “
"But how can we quell this primal anger?" I seem weak when I speak. Indeed, countless evil forces covet the world of Azeroth. Every moment they try to destroy this beautiful world, every moment they want to enslave the living beings who live in this world. From the time I was born into this world, wars and calamities have not stopped. The Burning Legion, the Scourge Legion, the Elder Gods, the Chira Bugmen, the Black Dragon Legion, the Blue Dragon Legion, the Zandalar Trolls, the Twilight Hammer, the Iron Tribe, and even the Watchers Left Behind by the Titans want to wipe us out, and there's no one else who wants to wipe us out. Now I'm a little confused, why am I fighting for this doomed world, why am I fighting for this world that is crumbling day by day, why, why?
"I don't care what is going on in your head right now, but there is one thing you must remember for me, the Alliance will never give up, and Azeroth will never give up!" The werewolf shoved me hard, and he arched his back, tearing at his cheek almost in frenzy. He howled in pain, as if to unleash a beast hidden deep within himself.
"Nope! You can't transform! You'll be killed by the other alliances! I exclaimed, looking at the werewolf.
"For the Union! For Azeroth! "The werewolf ignored my advice, and with a wolf howl turned into a terrifying creature. The sharp teeth are as chilling as a razor, and the sharp claws are as terrifying as steel cones. Now, he's completely turned into a werewolf. Ignoring the shocked eyes of others, he rushed to the enemy's side with two poisoned daggers in his hands, and frantically stabbed the spider demons who poured into the city. The cruel arthropods seemed to be intimidated by the presence of the werewolves, and they clumsily dodged the werewolves' attacks, as if trying to get away from the murderous and unblinking creatures.
"Yes, for the Alliance, for Azeroth!" My heart suddenly rolled with blood, and a determined force was born. Whatever he is, whatever is his enemy, we will destroy it, for we are all children of Azeroth. I roared wildly, and rushed after the werewolf with my broken sword. The power of blood pulsed on my fingertips, and the enemies killed by the broken sword scattered and fled. The rest of the warriors were infected by the spirit of me and the werewolves, and they rushed back to the lost city walls without hesitation, biting to death several lackeys of the natural calamity even with their teeth.
"Look! Our Air Force is coming! One of the guards shouted excitedly. Following his gaze, I saw a large number of engineering planes appear above the horizon. They first threw a large amount of explosives at the spider demons on the ground, and then strangled with the flying spiders who came to fend off.
"Nomorigen Air Force! Ha ha! I didn't expect these little men to be quite capable! "It turned out that these engineering planes came to the rescue from the temporary air force airfield in Fitzyak, far away. Led by the pygmy ace pilot Fizyak, he piloted a red plane that weaved through a dense stream of flying spiders, killing the leader of the flying spiders in just a few rounds. A large number of Spider Demon Air Force were attracted by this flight team equipped with dwarf technology, and the pressure on the city was also relieved a lot. We took the opportunity to take back control of the walls and used the terrain to shoot down a large number of Crypt Demons who were about to climb the walls.
Just when we thought victory was in sight, a loud bang interrupted our thoughts. I saw a digging worm several feet long suddenly burrow out from under the fortress gate, and hit the city gate frantically with its head full of hard thorns.
"Kill it, quick!" The leader of the fortress shouted hysterically, and almost at the same time all long-range fire was focused on the Diggers. Smoke from magic and arrows blanketed the entrance to the gate, and it wasn't long before the dust settled. The battlefield was eerily quiet, and the silence was as calm as a graveyard. Suddenly, a hoarse exclamation broke the calm on the battlefield, and everyone in the living broke out in a cold sweat.
"The gates have been slammed open!"
