Chapter 159: The Inescapable... Destiny?

…… All one hundred and fifty-nine chapters of an inescapable fate?

Time flies, and the rising sun, which was originally just rising, is now high in the sky.

It's noon.

The breakout operation progressed very smoothly.

Magic, multi-point bombardment, rain of arrows...... Under the powerful fire support, a group of High Elf defenders were surrounded by tens of thousands of undead natural disasters, and fought their way out of the siege. And Lao Tang took a kind of strong endurance and mobile advantage of the Kodo beast cavalry and dozens of dragon eagle knights responsible for high-altitude bombardment to break off the rear of the large army, delay the pursuit of the undead natural disaster, and buy time for the retreat of the high elf troops.

Looking up at the "Anshe" in the sky, Old Tang silently calculated the time in his heart. The garrison of Taquilin, commanded by Hadurun Mingyi, had been running north for two or three hours. Based on the footsteps of the High Elves, it is estimated that they have almost retreated to a safe place by now. Even if these remnants of the undead natural scourge continue to pursue, it is estimated that there will be no trace of the large army for a while.

The mission has been completed, and after the large army is broken, it is time to withdraw from the battlefield after sweeping away the head and tail of the Kodo beast pro-soldiers......

"Retreat!"

Slammed the shield, a shield slammed the head of a ghoul who rushed forward, and the old Tang who immediately picked up the curse torch with a horizontal knife swept with a powerful sweep, clearing a clearing in front of him, and then roared violently, ordering a retreat.

The Kodo Beast cavalry, who were originally chasing back and forth in the undead catastrophe array, and delayed the enemy's footsteps, did not love to fight after receiving Lao Tang's order, and fought the waist and abdomen of the Kodo beast with their legs between their hips, pulled the reins one after another, fell in the right direction and rushed straight to the north, plowing a flesh passage in the undead army, and walking away......

Old Don, who was running at the end of the line, looked back, and Taquilin in the distance had already been completely encroached upon by the undead natural disaster. The number of undead scourge pursued by the Kodo Beast cavalry was only a few thousand, and the fact that these walking corpses could be completely thrown off by the footsteps of the Kodo Beasts at any time, the threat of these undead was no longer a concern. But now what Old Tang is thinking about is the "little gift" he gave to Alsace......

"What are you looking at?" Sylvanas* Windranger, who was sitting behind Old Tang, asked in a rhetorical way after discovering Old Tang's strange appearance, but the next joke made Old Tang choke. "Which bewitching zombie makes you so crushed?"

After a bloody battle, this rescue operation was finally successful, and the happy "Queen Xià" actually told a cold joke for the first time and teased Old Tang.

"Well, there's a woman behind me who is enough to make all men obsessed, and I can't afford to go far and near?"

The old Tang, who was teased by the "Queen's Majesty", was stunned at first, but then he showed the single-handed temperament of the dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water, and was cheeky and teased.

Old Tang's naked flirtation did not annoy the "Queen Xià".

After all, the current "Queen Xià" has not experienced a series of later changes and tortures, and the ruthless and unpretentious nature of the "Queen of Darkness" in later generations has not yet been shown. I don't know if it's a little shy about Old Tang's sudden explicit words, but today's Sylvanas * Windranger rarely shows the posture of a little daughter, his face is slightly red, but his hand is a solid hammer on Old Tang's head, and he laughs slyly:

"None of them are on the right track! The minotaur doesn't fit my aesthetics, if you want to chase me, you can work hard for another hundred and eighty years! If it's good, maybe I might look at you pitiful and give you a chance? ”

In the past few days, the relationship between Lao Tang and "Her Majesty the Queen" has indeed changed a little. From Sylvanas's terrible first impression of Old Tang at the beginning, to the harmonious and tacit understanding between the two later, and then to the hazy feelings between the two now, an atmosphere called ambiguity has unconsciously entwined the two together......

"One hundred and eighty years?" Regarding the teasing of "Her Majesty the Queen", Lao Tang shrugged his shoulders and smiled bitterly, "It's only you elves who don't take it to heart for a long time!" ”

Old Tang's words really made the "Queen Majesty" suddenly silent, and even Old Tang reacted that he had said the wrong thing.

Even though the two of them have a good impression of each other now, there are many obstacles between the two. If nothing else, the difference in lifespan between the two races alone is frustrating enough. Even if the Minotaur doesn't come, it can be regarded as a long-lived race, even if Lao Tang can advance to a hero-level powerhouse and continue his life...... But there is still a lot of distance between the two...... Life winners like Ronin and Tulayan are just one of the few examples...... The two wanted to come together, and it was difficult......

After a short silence, among the two who had their own thoughts, it was finally the old Tang who took the initiative to break the embarrassment:

"My lady, are you interested in watching a fireworks display?" Old Tang showed a mysterious smile and asked the queen behind him with an obscene expression.

"Fireworks display?" Sylvanas also wanted to get over the embarrassment just now, and saw the look on Don's face, "Ask me quickly, there's a good show!" The expression is very face-saving.

Old Tang didn't speak, smiled, took out a red crystal stone from his waist, and handed it to Sylvanas behind him. Then he said mysteriously: "Crush it!" I'll watch the fireworks with you! ”

"Her Majesty the Queen" looked suspicious, observed the crystal handed by Old Tang, and slammed his hands together! The next moment, a deafening roar resounded through the heavens and the earth! The loud "boom" exploded violently! Sylvanas* Windranger spun around sharply, and behind her, Taquiline had turned into a giant fireball! Mushroom clouds of flame and dust rose into the sky, and waves of air carried pieces of undead flesh and gravel around them......

By the time the smoke cleared, the High Elves held out for days, and Taquelin, who had been besieged by the Undead Scourge for several days, had turned into ruins! Of course, the tens of thousands of walking dead that have entered Taquilin have also been annihilated into blood-stained minced meat......

"Her Majesty the Queen" turned her head with difficulty, staring at Old Tang's face in disbelief, which had always remained calm, dumbfounded:

Even the Ranger Lord, who had always been proud and composed, was speechless for a moment by the great changes and shocking scenes in front of him.

Although he knew that the man in front of him had always been lawless and reckless, and he also knew that before breaking through, this man made some secret arrangements, saying that it was a meeting gift for the former Prince Lordaeron, but Sylvanas * Windranger really didn't expect that Old Tang would make such a big deal and make such a big noise!

Taquilin, a large town, and tens of thousands of walking corpses of the undead and natural disasters, were calculated by him all at once, and said that it would be gone?

"You...... Take action...... Really...... Ruthless enough! After a long time, Sylvanas* Windranger put his hand on his forehead and muttered in a tone of surprise and confusion. Taquilin said that it will be blown up, after all, it is a town of the kingdom, and you are not afraid that we will be distressed? ”

Regarding the surprise of "Her Majesty the Queen", Lao Tang was resolute and serious, without the slightest sense of consciousness and shame of the saboteur, and said indifferently:

"If the house is gone, you can build it again, and if the town is gone, you can rebuild it! Take one Taquilin for one-fifth of the strength of the Undead Scourge, and we will not lose! ”

Long before the breakthrough, Old Tang arranged for the Asker * Sun Raider to secretly arrange according to his own ideas. Old Tang did not hesitate to spend money and secretly arranged a large number of high-explosive bombs in all corners of Taquilin, just to give these undead natural disasters a ruthless blow, just to give Alsace a sufficient amount of "meeting gift" to the unmasked Alsace!

And under Old Tang's arrangement, a kind of high elf even slaughtered those captive livestock, leaving their flesh and blood in areas with dense explosives! With the attraction of fresh flesh and blood, don't worry about the walking dead who have long lost their command and are dominated by the desire to eat!

Looking back at Taquelin, who was already in ruins, looking at the raging fire, Old Tang squinted his eyes and sneered.

"Arthas, I hope you'll enjoy my greeting gift!" In the bottom of his heart, Old Tang said faintly.

"Although we haven't officially fought yet, it seems that I won the first battle......"

"I'm ready for the next battle...... And what about you, His Royal Highness the Great Prince of Arthas...... Are you ready to have a good life with me on this land? ”

Old Tang's eyes flashed with a compelling cold light, but his resolute face was extremely hideous at this moment.

"Challenge the Legend...... I like it! ”

In the mountain passes of the Wraith Lands, the Kodo beast cavalry rolled forward. Old Tang's fighting spirit is already burning!

The drama of the battle of Quel'Salas is gradually reaching its climax...... Evening......

River north of Irondal, among the quiet woodlands of Yongge Forest......

The coalition forces of the two ethnic groups that broke out of the encirclement were seizing the time to rest, and with the soldiers, there were more than 3,000 civilians and more than 1,000 wounded who were escorted out by Lao Tang and others earlier.

Old Tang and the others caught up with those High Elf civilians who had left early two days ago. These frail civilians were moving really slowly, and they were easily caught up by the advancing army.

The roaring bonfire, reflecting everyone's faces, brought a rare warmth to these people who were struggling in dangerous places.

However, it seemed that even this little peace had to be broken, and a roar of urgency and anxiety came from afar.

……

"Urgent military intelligence!"

A dragon eagle knight, slashing across the sky at high speed, staggered towards the two-clan alliance that had evacuated Taquilin, and finally staggered to land in the center of the camp. The high elf who turned over and jumped off the dragon eagle turned pale and looked anxious. Clutching his bleeding chest, he trotted straight towards Sylvanas* Windranger, despite his pain and exhaustion.

Looking at the scout's dangerous appearance at this time, not only was the face of the "Queen Majesty" ugly, but even the old Tang, who was sitting opposite the Queen and was leaning on the ground to rest on the ground, looked comfortable and spitting fog, but also suddenly turned pale and put away his cynical lazy look.

The Dragon Eagle Knight, who had lost too much blood, was pale and bloodless, and his body was also shaky! A terrifying wound on the chest that was half a foot long and deep and visible to the bones was constantly spurting blood outward, and the original silver-white battle robe had already been soaked in blood red! One of the scout's arms was even broken at the root, and the wound on the severed arm was obviously a hideous scar left by the bite and pull of the sharp claws and fangs!

Old Tang took a hard puff of his cigar and looked at "Her Majesty the Queen" without speaking, but at this moment, both of them knew that this time there was a big trouble!

This Dragon Eagle Knight was one of the members of the scout team that Old Tang had sent out not long ago to investigate the movement of the undead scourge in the rear. In order to ensure the safety of the scouts and the timely transmission of information, Old Tang sent five squads and a full fifteen people! But now, only this one has returned...... It's still such a miserable appearance!

You don't have to guess to know that these scouts sent out by Old Tang in order to scout the back road must have experienced a tragic battle in order to pass on the information back! Of the fifteen highly skilled Dragon Eagle Knights, only one has returned from serious injuries now, and the others are probably more than lucky!

And here and now, the only thing that can bring such heavy casualties to the dragon eagle knights soaring in the sky is probably only a large-scale gargoyle army! And the appearance of a large number of gargoyles can only mean that the main force of the undead scourge has come up, and it is close at hand!

Once again, an unprecedented crisis is quietly coming!

"Will... Generals, Viceroys... Army, the undead... The main force of the natural disaster... It's approaching... Number... Hundreds of thousands of walking dead... Away from us... But there's only one left... A day's journey! Almost with a strong breath of relief, the Dragon Eagle Knight was seriously injured, and the Dragon Eagle Knight intermittently turned Old Tang's worst conjecture into reality!

"Reprimand... Comrades in the scout team, it's just me... I escaped... The rest... To cover me... All killed......"

"Treatment! Heal this warrior's wounds! Hurry!"

Almost after explaining the information, the Dragon Eagle Knight, who rushed back in one breath, couldn't hold back any longer, and fell to the ground as soon as his eyes were black. Old Tang's eyes were quick, and he grabbed the body of the High Elf warrior, ignoring the blood on his hands, and shouted loudly.

By the time a few priests picked up the Dragon Eagle Knight from Old Tang, Old Tang had already looked at Sylvanas Windranger, who was frowning and silent, with a stern face!

"General, what are we going to do?" Old Tang could still calm down and think about countermeasures, but Hadurun * Mingyi on the side had already asked directly to the "Queen Majesty". It was a full 400,000 undead natural disaster, and in the face of such a fierce rolling army, and the troops in everyone's hands were stretched, it was no wonder that Hadurun, who had always been calm, was also full of anxiety!

"Excluding the mages and minotaur allies, and removing the wounded, how many more soldiers do we have to fight?"

Hearing his subordinates' slightly anxious inquiry, Sylvanas didn't answer directly, but asked another question!

"There were less than 7,000, and although the breakout operation was smooth and there were not many warriors who sacrificed, almost all of the soldiers on the front line were wounded...... can only piece together these combat powers, and ...... It's basically a ranger......"

Hadurun Mingyi is worthy of being the commander of the first army, and after hearing the inquiry of "Her Majesty the Queen", he gave a rough answer after a little thought.

"Notice, all the soldiers who can still fight are assembled! Prepare to follow me on the expedition to stop the enemy! Sylvanas gave an order that bordered on death without the slightest hesitation!

"Sheena! You are crazy! Hearing the order of "Her Majesty the Queen", which was almost crazy, Old Tang suddenly stood up, stared at the Sylvanas * Windranger in front of him with a stern face and a military uniform, and roared angrily! "You can't take them to death!"

In the face of Old Tang's roar, "Her Majesty the Queen" was still expressionless and resolute. He glanced at the old Tang who walked in front of him, and said in a firm tone: "Someone must stop the pace of the undead natural disaster!" I... Must go! ”

"Because...... I'm the Ranger Lord of Shadowmoon City...... It's my responsibility......"

After that, he waved his hand to interrupt Old Tang's rebuttal, and said angrily to Hadurun *Mingyi, who was watching the two arguing: "What are you still doing in a daze, don't you go and prepare!" At this moment, Sylvanas was already full of frost and angry!

Hadurun Mingyi saw sweat on his forehead, hurriedly saluted, turned around and strode away, to convey the order.

Seeing Hadurun Mingyi turn to leave, Old Tang had already strode forward, pressed the shoulder of "Her Majesty the Queen" stiffly, and asked in an angry voice;

"Did you know that it's the main force of the undead scourge! An army of 400,000! It's not the little fight we had before! You can't stop them! No, you definitely can't go! ”

Looking at Old Tang's annoyed expression and concerned and anxious tone, "Her Majesty the Queen" gently broke the giant palm of Old Tang on his shoulder, showed a smile that was enough to make people swoon, and said softly: "We have no choice, Good." The Scourge army is chasing after us, and they will eventually catch up with us before they reach Silvermoon City, we ...... No other way! ”

The smile of "Her Majesty the Queen" is inextricable, but the current old Tang has no intention of watching it, and when he heard the answer of the Queen's Majesty, Old Tang's heart is already anxious. Hugging the heroic but charming ranger lord in front of him, Old Tang almost roared and said:

"I'm going, I'm going! If you want to go, I'll take the Kodo beast cavalry with me! More than 7,000 rangers, what's the use! We are men, and there is no reason for women to break off! ”

"Her Majesty the Queen" did not break free from Old Tang's embrace, but put her pretty face on Old Tang's chest, stretched out her hand to caress Old Tang's cheek, and chuckled and said a nonsensical sentence: "You know, Goode... My warriors... Actually, the days with you...... Very reassuring! ”

After that, without waiting for Old Tang's reaction, Sylvanas * Windranger continued faintly.

"The Kodo beast cavalry can't go! Those civilians are moving too slowly, and without your carry, they can't escape the undead scourge! I need you to stay, I need the Minotaur warriors to stay, and take them to Silvermoon City! ”

"Sheena, I..."

Before Old Tang's words could be spoken, he was interrupted by "Her Majesty the Queen". Sylvanas took a step back and left Old Don's embrace, his face recovering his former pride and strictness. Raising his head and staring at Old Don's anxious eyes, Sylvanas Windranger said word by word:

"Promise me, my warriors, that you will take them to Silvermoon City safely!" Staring at Old Tang's tough face like a knife and axe, "Her Majesty the Queen" said with a look of hope:

"Just like those promises you made to me before......"
