Chapter 170: Battle of the Canyon 4
"Ready, one, two, all salvo!!"
Kael'thas stood on the side of the canyon, coldly looking at the countless frozen enemies in the middle of the canyon, and gently waved his hand down.
Behind him, countless closely lined rangers held their bows and arrows diagonally, and the moment they heard the order, they all let go.
Countless dense arrows flew into the sky with an arcane blue glow, brilliant like countless glowing fireflies, and then swooped down, shooting in the middle of the canyon in the blink of an eye.
"Heaven, what is that!!"
"Bow and arrow!!"
"Defend yourself!!"
"Wow~!"
Ignoring the confusion and screams of the orcs and trolls, Kael'thas continued to command sideways:
"Mage prepare!"
In front of the forest on either side of him, hundreds of mages chanted incantations at the same time, their staffs flashing with different lights in the darkness.
Arcane is a dark blue and purple mysterious light, these mages in the front two rows, their hands emitted brilliant arcane missiles, and the uninterrupted blue missiles arc towards the front!
Frost is a silvery blue cold light, and these mages are in the middle two rows, with their staffs stretched out to the sky, continuing to channel the icy rain brought by the blizzard.
The staffs in the last two rows glowed with a subtle yellow glow, and they chanted slender incantations, and then they could feel the ground in front of them vibrate gently.
"Rush over and interrupt them!!"
Kael'thas heard a roar, which he guessed was the orc commander's voice, and looked ahead.
In the light of the spells, he could roughly see the orcs and trolls in their movements, and as expected, most of the cryotics cast by the water elemental began to shatter, unable to restrain those enemies for more than 10 seconds.
"The second salvo is ready!!"
Kael'thas waved his hand, and the elven rangers, who had already quickly loaded their arrows, raised their bows diagonally again.
"One, two, all salvo!!"
With a wave of his hand, the blue arrows shot overwhelmingly again.
"Again! Prepare for defense!! ”
"Wow~!"
[That's it]
Kael'thas watched as he didn't take a few steps before he stopped and raised his shield again, and chuckled softly.
[I won]
With this idea on his mind, the mages who had cast spells behind finally completed their spells, and in a sudden bright yellow light, they waved their staffs, and a square wall of earth was immediately constructed in front of them, enclosing most of the orcs and trolls inside.
"Winn"
Mephites smiled as well, and he looked at the mages who were immediately preparing the next spell of the same spell, knowing that the orcs and trolls would never be able to return to the sky.
The High Elves managed to turn the tide of safety
At the beginning, Kael'thas had the elves prepare a hiding place in the forest, and then built an earthen wall in the middle to block each other's view.
He took advantage of the water elemental, a summoned creature that most High Mages share, and placed them behind the earthen wall. The Water Elemental has two moves, one is a Water Arrow that is similar to the Ice Arrow, and the other is the Freezing Technique, which is similar to the Frost Nova.
So when the trolls attacked, the water elemental unleashed water arrows behind the earthen wall, making them mistake them for the mage's ice arrows. Then, when the earthen wall was breached, he froze all the enemies in place with the freezing technique of the water element, buying time to besiege them.
And all of this was implemented very smoothly.
[Maybe it's also because the opponent's commander has lost his caution in the advantage]
Mephites thought so, and then looked at the many elves around him who had no tasks scheduled, cleaning up some small groups scattered outside.
Those enemies who were in a panic were no longer able to resist
"Your Excellency Lieutenant, we are surrounded, what to do!!"
Inside the earthen walls, the orc lieutenant asked Okmai loudly and nervously, ignoring the spells above his head, ignoring his comrades who were beginning to fall.
"Let the people outside of us in!!"
Okmai roared, his red eyes flashing with rage:
"Half of us are still on the road, in the camp, let them come in and slaughter those elves!!"
Luckily, he still had a trick left.
The High Elves had revealed their position, and he was confident that his remaining team could interrupt the mage's spell casting and turn the tide of battle at the same time.
And what about powerful long-range firepower?
How do you stay in the face of melee combat between orcs and trolls!?
Then, a flickering firework rose and exploded from inside the earthen wall, and the signal was sent out at once.
"Signal?"
Kael'thas looked up, and then immediately heard O's shrill scream.
[Liadrin, are they ready?] 】
Hearing this cry, he felt relieved, and then looked out of the canyon, and sure enough, the colorful light of the elves' spells could be faintly seen.
O's cry was a sign of the elves' success, indicating that they had successfully cut off the source of the enemy in the canyon.
Before the battle began, Kael'thas divided his team into three parts, one of which consisted of his hundreds of rangers and less than 100 mages, and the other part of the small number of vehicles arranged for Liadline to intercept the enemy who came to her rescue.
Liadeline's tactics are similar to those on this side, so there shouldn't be much of a problem.
The problem now is the pure melee team led by Valera, which also includes a few agile rangers and numerous priests, who are tasked with bypassing the enemy in the middle from both sides and lunging directly at the enemy camp.
This is one of the toughest missions and the first battle to test the strength of the High Elf melee units.
With the cover of many thieves, the backs of many priests, and the strength of their own surpassing opponents, these melee professionals should not be a problem to defeat those enemies who are left behind!
Neither the orcs nor the trolls have ever seen the melee professionals of the High Elves, so they may not dodge and hedge directly with the elves, so that Kael'thas can annihilate them all.
"Still, let's deal with these guys first."
Kael'thas muttered, and he turned to order the rangers to continue their operations, then looked at the sky, looking down at the flaming phoenix in the sky.
"Xiao Ao, go ahead!"
He exhaled and gave an order with a smile, his voice was small, but it reached directly into Phoenix's heart.
"Py~~"
Xiao Ao shouted excitedly, his body crossed a circle, and then turned out of thin air, turned into a brilliant flame, and swooped down.
"Mage, turn the fire immediately!!"
Kael'thas quickly ordered the mages behind him, at the same time.
With a "boom", the phoenix fell to the ground, and a huge flame rose into the air, lighting up the entire night sky!
"Wow, ah, ah~"
Inside the earthen walls, orcs and trolls screamed, struggling to sink into the flames.
[Give me the flame of the phoenix to burn out!! 】
In the reflection of the firelight, Kael'thas blue eyes shone with an icy chill
