【4】Fire of Shadowfang Castle (Bloodbath)
After freeing the soul of Baron Sylvaline, we came to the exit of the basement, and at the exit was a large locked iron door, which had several large iron locks from top to bottom, which were locked tightly, and the light coming from outside could already be seen in the corner staircase behind the iron door. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Thieves, help me open this damn door!" Commander Dallal said, and two thieves, one a troll and the other an undead forsaken, came to the door, took out lockpicking tools of various sizes from their backpacks, and began to pound on the iron door.
The crowd saw that they could open a lock in a few moments, and the two skillfully cooperated, and soon picked all the locks on the iron door.
"Brothers, the door is open, please~" The two thieves pushed open the iron doorway.
"Heh, it seems that the effect of the training camp is really good." Commander Dalal was the first to step out of the iron door, and everyone followed behind and out of the damp haunted basement.
Outside the basement was a large stable, with dozens of horses tethered to each side of the stable, and several werewolf stables were feeding the horses with forage inside, and I and another hunter and two thieves on the stalk quickly eliminated these stables before the large army came out of the basement passage.
After the whole army had left the stable, Commander Dalal ordered: "Everyone stay here first, and wait for the troops outside the castle to attack, and then we will continue to go deeper!" ”
So everyone lurked in the stable, and the mage set up an enchantment around the door of the stable, and if anyone entered, it would trigger the enchantment to release the silence spell, so that they could not call for help. After arranging the situation, Commander Dalal gathered everyone around him, and he took out a map of Shadowfang Castle and said, "This is the map of Shadowfang Castle, and now we are here - the stable in the eastern part of the outer layer of the castle. Dalal gestured to the map, "And Arugao is here, the main tower on the inner level of the castle, and to enter the main tower, we need to first go through the large square outside and enter the chapel, then from the chapel to the butcher's fortress, and then go to the inner city wall on the top floor of the butcher's fortress, and finally go directly from the inner city wall to the main tower. ”
After Commander Daralbi finished, he said: "Everyone have to remember the route, wait until I am unfortunately killed, Fastiga will lead the team, if she also dies, then it will become Calvin, if he hangs up again, it will be you, and then you ......"
Everyone had been lurking in the stables for a long time, when suddenly there was the sound of trumpets outside the castle, followed by the sound of war drums.
"The horde army that has received it outside has begun to attack Shadowfang Castle!" Old Mage Calvin shouted.
"The time has come! Mages, start casting invisibility! Commander Dalal shouted, and the mages in the team began to cast invisibility on everyone, and in a moment the entire force was gone.
The noise and shouting outside the stables became louder and louder, and it seemed that the tribal army outside had begun to attack the city, and the door of the stables was pushed open, and several werewolves ran in, and as soon as they saw the corpses of the stables on the ground, they immediately shouted, but no matter how they shouted, they couldn't make a sound, and just as they were wondering, suddenly several werewolves were knocked down out of thin air, and I thought to myself that someone must have rushed out of the door, so I ran over, kicked over a werewolf who got up from the ground, and rushed out of the stable.
"Meet in the chapel across the main square!" The shouts of Commander Dalal were heard in the air.
The square was full of werewolf troops, these werewolves were about my height, but the muscles of the upper body were very strong, comparable to the orcs, and their eyes were scarlet, and they looked crazy. At the same time, there are many vicious wolves around these werewolves, and these wolves are barking wildly, as if they smell us. Sure enough, in the blink of an eye, several wolves pounced on us, and then a wail like a minotaur came out of thin air, and blood suddenly gushed out of the air and splattered on the ground.
"There's an intruder!!" A werewolf shouted, and the werewolf troops in the square were vigilant, and they shouted in all directions: "Call the magician out, there are intruders!" They are all invisible!! “
I ran desperately towards the chapel on the opposite side of the square, less than a few dozen meters away from the chapel, when a lot of human mages wearing purple cloaks appeared in the werewolf army, and they raised their staff and began to chant into the air: "Arcane secret power, wisdom and true meaning, the spell has faded, and the original form has appeared!" “
Rings of lilac light flashed from their staffs and spread across the square, one of them sweeping across my body, and the part of my body that had been illuminated by the halo suddenly took shape.
"That's an intruder! Kill them! The werewolf army in the square howled and rushed towards us, and at the door of the chapel came the cry of Commander Dallal: "Come into the chapel!" ”
Frost Nova, the entanglement technique is constantly surging around me, sniping at the werewolves who are surrounded from all directions, and now our people are basically showing their original forms, there are two minotaur warriors at the gate who are resisting the invading werewolf troops, forcing a path to the gate for us, I shoot a concussive arrow with my backhand, vibrating the attacking werewolves around one of the minotaur warriors, and then dodge through them and enter the chapel.
The others followed, we were the first to set up a line of defense at the gate, the warriors and the druids who had transformed into giant bears were in front, and the others used various attack spells to beckon the werewolf army in the back, everyone tried to buy time for those who were left behind, but there were still some people who were surrounded by werewolves and wolves, and seeing more and more werewolf troops rushing towards us from the square, the old necromancer Calvin Staff waved and chanted: "O Ice Elemental, please give me indestructible strength to build a barrier of frost for me!" ”
Suddenly, a large thick wall of ice broke through the ground and stood in front of the door of the chapel, and the werewolf army was blocked by this ice wall, and could only grit their teeth and watch us enter the chapel safely. After the last person came in, we closed the door of the chapel, the mage performed an enchantment spell on the side of the gate, making sure that the werewolf troops could not enter even if they broke the ice wall, everyone rested in the chapel, Commander Dalal asked for a count, we lost three people, an orc shaman, an orc warlock, and an undead priest, who had just fallen behind, presumably torn apart by the werewolves outside.
"I didn't expect Arugao to join forces with the human brigade mage group, which made us really embarrassed!" Old Mage Calvin said, "Brigade Mage Regiment? Where did they come from? The others asked, and Commander Dalal replied, "They are human mages banished by Dalaran, they have no glory or justice, they are a group of mercenaries. ”
"Dallar, we have no way out, we need to rush to the main tower before they send more men!" The undead witch Fastiga reminded.
"Well, we have to make a quick decision, everyone come with me!"
Commander Dalal led us up the stairs on the side of the chapel, where a few small Rolls got in the way, but we were able to easily resolve them, and we went up to the upper floor of the chapel, where there was a corridor that connected to a stone fort on the opposite side.
"There's the butcher's fortress ahead, and we can climb the inner walls from there!" Commander Dalal pointed.
The group quickly entered the stone fortress through the corridor, the fortress was very empty, there was a group of werewolves guarding the center of the fortress, the walls around the fortress were full of black holes, and there was a circular wooden plank path connecting these rooms, and this plank road also led to an opening in the top of the fortress.
Everyone focused on the werewolf army, there were more than a dozen of them, and the leader was a tall werewolf with golden brown hair, and this werewolf had a large brown wolf next to him.
"Who is it who dares to break into my territory in Lazocloau?" The golden-brown werewolf shouted, and the old mage Calvin on the side whispered: "This guy is the number two person in the werewolf army, called Lazo Claw, nicknamed Butcher, this fortress is named after it, he is a ruthless character, everyone should be careful!" ”
"Our tribe has come to kill you, filthy werewolf." Commander Dalal replied.
"Want my life? You bunch of wretched, watch me tear you all apart first!! The butcher Lazoclaw said fiercely, taking a large axe in one hand, and then pulling out a wooden whistle in the other.
As soon as his whistle sounded, the big brown wolf next to him immediately let out a long howl, and at the same time, a wolf howl rang out of the surrounding room, and one wolf after another appeared from the room, staring at us with scarlet eyes.
"Let's retreat to the corridor first!" Commander Dalal shouted hurriedly.
"Don't try to run!"
We quickly retreated from the fortress, and the werewolf Lazoclaw rushed out with his troops, accompanied by a vicious pack of wolves.
The battle was about to break out, the commander Dalal and a group of warriors were at the forefront to resist the charge of the werewolf troops and the wolves, everyone fought together, although these werewolves did not know magic, but they were very strong, and those vicious wolves kept attacking the warriors in front, the thieves and druids saw that a few warriors could not withstand it, and they also rushed up to support, while I and the mages and shamans kept throwing skills in the back.
Calvin said to the priest beside him while using ice archery, "Priests, prepare the wolf poison potion and treat the bitten person quickly!" “
The battle was fierce, the butcher Lazoclau and his werewolf troops took a completely desperate way of fighting, fighting for their lives, and the wolves were also like crazy, frantically pounced on us, and the corridor was full of flesh and blood. But fortunately, the magic on our side was relatively strong, and due to the limited width of the corridor, the opponent could not break through, and the mages could output as much as they wanted in the back row, so we began to gradually gain the upper hand, and finally everyone spent a lot of effort to finally kill the butcher Lazoclaw, cut off his head, and ended the battle.
Looking at the corpses and the bloody corridors, I couldn't help but feel a little numb, and I had several wounds cut open on my body, but fortunately these wounds were not deep. I walked up to the butcher Lazoclaw and his brown wolf corpse, and found the wooden whistle used to summon wolves, a "dog whistle" that would be very useful for a hunter to help me tame the wolves on the continent of Azeroth.
We returned to the fortress from the corridor for treatment, the warriors, thieves, and druids were almost all bitten by werewolves, and many mages, shamans, and priests were also painted, looking at the wounded all over the ground, the old mage Calvin said worriedly, "Our wolf poison potion may not be enough." ”
Commander Dalal said nervously, "How can that be?" If you are bitten by a werewolf, if there is no antidote to the poison, you will be infected with the frenzy of the werewolf, and if you wait for the attack to fight Arugao, we will suffer. ”
"My suggestion is to save some people with medicine first, and ignore those who are too seriously injured." Calvin replied.
"Okay, listen to you."
Calvin looked at the injuries of the crowd, and then selected the two Minotaur warriors who were the two most seriously injured by the werewolves, and said to Commander Dalal, "The two of them are too badly injured to have enough potions for them, so let's leave them first." “
"Ugh." Dalal sighed, then went over to explain the situation to the two minotaurs, and then had them sent to the room inside the walls to settle in.
By the time we set off again, there were only 18 people left in the group.
We came to the opening at the top of the fortress through the circular wooden plank around the wall, and after going out from the opening, we arrived at the inner city wall, there is a passage on the city wall full of gargoyle statues on both sides, and this passage leads directly to the main tower of the inner city, probably because the werewolf troops in the castle are now going to the outer city to support, so there are not many werewolf troops on the city wall.
Just when we thought we would reach the main tower so smoothly, there was a sudden change on both sides of the aisle, and the gargoyles suddenly came to life, and all of them turned into vicious monsters with huge bat-winged monsters, and they flew into the sky and swept towards us, and everyone was caught off guard, and many brothers were thrown off the city wall by these huge bat-wing monsters, and their lives were lost.
"ESdomfre, elemental fire, give me power, Fire Nova!" A ring of flame exploded from the walls and drove back the gargoyles in the sky, cast by the old mage Calvin, who was holding his staff aloft, and he shouted at us, "Mages and shamans, cast your fire magic, they are afraid of fire!" “
The mages and shamans in the team followed the old undead mage to cast fire magic, and the city walls were suddenly filled with fire, and the gargoyles really screamed and retreated, not daring to come any closer.
At this moment, there was a sudden chant in the air: "O Elemental of Ice, give me the power of ice--Ice Wind Technique!" “
A biting cold wind fell from the sky, extinguishing the flames in the air, and the cold wind blew through the city walls, and I felt my whole body shivering from the cold, and I couldn't move, and then I saw a group of werewolves and human mages in purple robes appear in the butcher's fortress behind, and several of the brigade mages were holding their wands high, and the ice wind magic just now came from them.
"They're catching up! We've got to rush to the main tower! Commander Dalal shouted.
Now there are gargoyles in the sky, and there are chasing soldiers behind them, and the situation can be described as extremely difficult. Since we had to guard against the invasion of gargoyles in the sky at any time, the speed of the team's advance was very slow, and the werewolf troops and the brigade mage regiment behind quickly intercepted it, the werewolf troops scuffled with our soldiers, and the brigade mages fired all kinds of spell missiles with us, and our people were constantly knocked down by the enemy, grabbed by the gargoyles and thrown down the city wall, and the whole army was about to be destroyed.
At this time, the necromancer Fastiga raised her staff and shouted, "ESdomfreWEivedreo!" Elemental fire and elemental wind, please give me your power to sweep away chaos! - Firestorm! “
A huge tornado unfolded around her, and the tongue of fire swept up the wind track, forming a huge flame dragon hurricane, and the werewolves and traveling mages were swept into it and burned to ashes, and the gargoyles in the sky were also burned by the blazing fire wind, and their wings fell one after another, and suddenly the city wall was in a sea of fire.
"Hurry up to the main tower!" Fastiga in the flame tornado shouted at us.
We had a chance to breathe and hurried towards the main tower at the other end, where our pursuers were held back by a flaming tornado and could not attack again.
We smashed open the wooden door of the main tower and jumped inside, and after the survivors were inside, Fastiga was still outside, still maintaining the spell in the center of the flame, and the flaming hurricane showed no signs of abating.
Old Mage Calvin sighed and said, "Fastiga seems to be planning to sacrifice his life to hold them back, let's go." With that, he used a spell to erect a wall of ice and seal the entrance to the main tower.
