Chapter 155: The Battle of the Howling Fjord
When the cavalry of Winterclaw began to charge, the Death Knights on the side of the Scourge also instigated the death horses.
The first wave of battles was a duel of cavalry. Sejuani was at the front, steelmane running wildly, and Volibell running on all fours.
"Scatter them!" Sejuani shouted. She swung her shackle at the edge of her chain, dodging the Death Knight's rune sword attacks as the hammer head dug deep into her opponent's chest. Send the Death Knight flying.
Voliber lunged at an enemy, he burrowed under the belly of the Death Horse and arched violently, the General Horse and the Death Knight on its back arched to the ground, and the Death Knight who landed on the ground was trampled to death by the boar cavalry behind him before he could stand up.
Sarah, the lucky sister, stood in a relatively backward position, firing two guns in succession, knocking enemies to the ground one by one. Winlessa had already followed, her arrows harvesting the filthy souls of the undead with precision and ruthlessness.
Sejuani commanded all the cavalry of the Silver Covenant, numbering about fifteen hundred, nearly a thousand of whom were boar knights of Winter's Claws. However, there are still fewer of them than the Death Knights. She led a portion of her cavalry into enemy lines, while some of the Death Knights broke through their defenses and slaughtered the infantry in the rear.
Every second a fighter dies. On the battlefield, swords come and go, and the sound of killing is earth-shattering. With a single axe, Nazgorin slashed down the two scourge spirits and strode over their corpses. His goal was always one, Brooks, the fallen orc death knight! In order to break in front of the other party, the orc warriors who followed him kept falling, but no orcs retreated.
"Brox!" Nazgorin finally burst into front of the Death Knight. He had just used the rune axe to split a knight with Winterclaw and a pig in half. "Suffer death!" Nazgorin took two steps and kicked the ground with his legs. Powerful power burst out, leaping into the air, lifting the tomahawk above his head and slashing at the opponent.
"I can't help myself!" Brooks didn't dodge, he yelled. The rune axe slashed upward. The two tomahawks clashed, and a spark popped out of the edge.
Even though Nazgorin has the advantage of running and jumping, he is still no match for Brooks. His tomahawk was flown off, and his whole body was carried aside by this tremendous force, and he fell to the ground and rolled until someone stopped him.
"Let's deal with him together!" Nazgorin heard a strong voice.
It was the voice of the bear-man hero, Volibel.
Nazgorin shook his dizzy head. "Poof" spit out the blood foam in his mouth, turned over and stood up: "Let's deal with him together!" β
He retrieved his axe and pounced on Brooks with Volibel.
The battle began to heat up. Without any temptation, the Silver Covenant could only open the way to retreat if it was desperate. Standing in their way was an army of scourge more than twice as large as they were. There is also an unknown number of Viku in the castle of Utgard behind it. These barbarians fell into a deep slumber thousands of years ago, and the ones who fought them in the castle before were only part of the awakening. With the outbreak of war. More Viku are waking up from thousands of years of slumber. If they could join the fray, it would be bad news for the Silver Covenant.
Ronin and Lisandro must use their magic to keep out the Viku pursuit, or at least the Viku warriors rushing on the ground.
More than a hundred witches of the Frost Guardian clan teamed up to cast spells to create an impenetrable blizzard on the bridgehead to buy them time.
Ronin chanted the spell and began to prepare his most powerful spell.
The same goes for Lisandro. As a Frost Witch, her best skill is, of course, ice spells. Although the castle does not cover snow all year round, the temperature is still very cold. This made it extremely convenient for her to cast spells.
With her spellcasting. Ice fog began to appear on the Imilon Falls. They converged on the bridge in an unnatural state, sticky as cotton, and soon made it impossible to reach for the place.
There was something dangerous in the air. The energies of frost and arcane are constantly converging. The bridge trembled more and more obviously. The Frost Guardians were even so affected by the shock that they could no longer sustain the blizzard. However, even if the blizzard stops. No Viku warrior dared to step into the ice mist. They are savage and reckless, but they are not fools. There was a dangerous aura in the ice mist that made their hearts palpitate.
'If you step in, you will die,' the voice in his heart warned them.
When the bridge shook so much that it was difficult to even stand, the bridge, which had been impregnable for 10,000 years, slowly reached its limits.
"Click", the first breaking sound came, and then quickly joined together. The bridge began to collapse from the end of the gate of Utgard Castle. The boulders, shattered by the energy of magic, fell into the bay beneath the cliff. Smash into a huge wave. The water from the upstream lake, which had lost its interception, rushed out of the narrow crevasse, naturally speeding up the collapse of the bridge. The tremors continued. The ice fog is slowly disappearing. The Viku warriors on the other end gradually saw the scene on the bridge:
A section of the dam that was more than fifty meters long had disappeared, and the cold ice near the fracture that reflected the sunlight seemed to tell them. It was the expansion of the ice that opened the bridge.
But is it possible? How can ice have the power to burst dams and bridges?
The Viku could no longer find confirmation, because there was no one on the other side of the bridge.
It's the perfect combination of frost and arcane that makes this possible. Ronin and Lisandro's men withdrew as soon as they had completed the earth-shattering destruction. The frontal battlefield is in need of their assistance.
Standing in front of the broken bridge, King Igron of the Viku people shouted angrily: "My dragoon warriors, all of them are dispatched at once!" Catch me the saboteurs! I'm going to punish them personally! β
The Viku of the Dragonsnatcher Clan harness the ugly primordial dragon and pounce on the battlefield from above the castle of Utgard to the other side. Mages can destroy bridges, but they can't destroy the sky!
ββ
"Roar!" Volibell let out a furious roar. He summoned the power of storm and lightning, and lightning flashed on his claws. Voliber slapped his paw in a vain attempt to sneak up on his Death Knight from the flank, and then strode towards Blox, the most powerful Death Knight on the battlefield!
"Your strength is strong, but it's not enough to see in front of me!" Brooks also greeted him. He had just dropped Nazgorin to the ground again. This time the orc warrior was more wounded, and he could no longer fight. An orc soldier dragged him back. Brooks slashed at the axe, and Volibell slapped it on the body, blocking it. The power of the lightning passed down the axe handle, and the electricity made Blox paralyzed. Volibel immediately seized the opportunity. In one fell swoop, he overturned the enemy's horse and smashed the dead horse's head with another slap.
"Now we can play it fair!" The Wallybell man stood up and strode over to Brooks, who had just turned over and stood up.
"Good! My great axe is thirsting for your blood! Blox's bloodthirsty grin grinned as he clenched his rune axe. On the ground he can play 100 per cent, and he was just a little careless. This bearman's lightning can't imagine that the sneak attack will be successful like just now!
The two rushed to each other again and fought. However, Brooks suddenly shuddered. He was shot in the shoulderβand in the distance, Sister Good Luck blew the muzzle of the smoking gun, turning her attention to the others.
"Roar!" Brooks let out a war cry, his eyes glowing with an icy blue glow. He pulled out the lead pellet from the wound, which was stained with his black blood. He glanced at it and threw the lead bullet into his mouth. Rattling with your teeth.
"This little injury won't affect me at all, vile sneak attacker!" Brooks mocked, swallowing the bitten lead pellet.
"You're not qualified to say the word mean." Volibell yelled and pounced, "Meet the storm! β
ββ
The shape of the battlefield is not optimistic. The loss of the Silver Covenant was very severe. More than 1,000 soldiers have been killed, and the number of wounded is even more difficult to count. To make matters worse, until now, the Scourge has not used evil necromancy to resurrect these dead.
Once they do, the Silver Covenant, which is already at a disadvantage, will be even worse.
To add insult to injury, behind them, a large number of dragon raider clan dragoons flew out of the castle of Utgard. The shadows of the primordial dragons obscure the sky and the sun, and there are countless of them. It's like a moving shadow. It's fast looming over them.
Without enough ranged troops, they simply could not stand up to the heavenly dragoons.
It was almost the last straw that broke the camel's back.
Lisandro and her Frost Guard witches guard the rear.
"Attack the enemies of the sky!" She calmly gave the order. But more than a hundred witches pose no threat to the boundless dragon knights.
"We ...... Are you going to be defeated? Wen Lesa murmured, she didn't dare to spread her despair to the warriors around her. Even in the heart. But he continued to shoot deadly arrows at the enemies of the Scourge.
"No, it won't." Ronin encouraged her, "We'll break out of the encirclement!" β
"But where is the hope?" Winlessa was confused. This caused the arrow she had just sent to miss.
However, at this moment, a long horn suddenly sounded in the distance.
"It wasn't our people who blew it." When a soldier heard this, he immediately looked around.
"Is it a reinforcement from a natural disaster?" Apparently this was a speculation that made the fighters even more desperate.
"It's like the clarion call of the Alliance!"
"That's right. It really is the clarion call of the Union! β
"We're saved!"
The warriors from the Alliance quickly broke the news to the others around them. After a while, everyone got the news. The cheers burst into applause.
Soon. Behind the scourge was the first figure - an orc warrior riding a wolf. Then more orc cavalry appeared. Immediately some orcs recognized their banner:
"It's the banner of the Warsong Clan!"
"It's the people of the tribe! Our people are coming! β
Then more flags appeared on the horizon.
The flag of the Union, the flag of Lordaeron. The flag of Kul Tiras, the flag of Quel'Salas, the flag of Valoran...... And under these banners, the warriors of the Northern Expedition came overwhelmingly.
The earth trembled, and so did the panicked hearts of the Scourge.
"Retreat! Withdraw to Ebon Fortress! Blox's shake off Volibel. He'd just had a hearty battle with this bearman. The bear-man had been suppressed by him. He believed that it would not be long before he could kill the other party while he was weak.
But the Northern Expeditionary Army arrived.
These forces in Blackebon Fortress are simply not enough to compete with the other side. Retreat is a wise choice.
βloktar-ogar!β
Bloxes heard the most familiar voice in his life. He saw the figure of the tribe. Isn't that unique wolf cavalry the Warsong clan?
Why do orcs get involved with the Alliance?
Blox resurrected his horse, and even though its skull was shattered, it only took a little soul power to restore it completely, as long as it was not shattered. It's so much more powerful than a living warhorse!
Bloxs rode it as he strode towards Blackebon Fortress. The composition of the Northern Expeditionary Army filled his heart with doubts. He was going to report the matter to the Lich King.
However, the warriors who led the warsong rushed forward. Grom, who was going to fight the first battle of the Northern Expedition, was not prepared to let the other party go so lightly. With an earth-shattering roar, he led the brave orcs to charge the enemy first. The blood roar slashed off the head of the first scourge and split the second one in half.
Grom needs to vent! Proof is needed!
Orcs are more heroic than humans!
Those who underestimate the orcs must pay!
Under his superb combat skills and great strength, the natural disasters in front of him collapsed like decay. Grom didn't even hit a target worthy of his best efforts. But soon he found it - the orc Death Knight! The Evil Lord! The undead who defiled the glory of the orcs!
"Brox!"
The Scourge warriors are retreating into the Blackebon Fortress in droves.
Brooks stood guard by the entrance to the fortress. Seeing that Grom was rushing over, he roared, "Are you here to die?" Hell roars! β
"I'm here to send you to heaven!"
"Then it depends on whether you have such skills!" Brooks rode the Death Horse and took the initiative to meet him. The two most powerful orc warriors immediately began to fight.
ββ
Ash led the elite archers of the Avarosa clan with Hadurun. The Brightwinged Ranger and the archers burst to the rear of the Silver Covenant. The addition of a large number of shooters immediately relieved the pressure on the primordial dragon knights. Quinn and Warlot merge and take to the skies in the form of giant eagles, hunting down one enemy after another with agility and ferocity. In the sky, Hualuo is almost a hard opponent.
It's the same with Burning Heart. She went on a killing spree among the dragon knights, attracting many javelinmen from the Dragon Raider Clan. But the most powerful of these Viku attacks could not touch half of the angel's feathers. She also embraced the power of Naru. Now she is completely not something that these clumsy primitives can compete with.
Sarufar led a group of orcs to kill the scourge that had besieged Ronin and Winlessa, and he grinned, "See you again, old friend!" β
Luo Ning exhaled, he wiped the sweat from his forehead, and showed a relieved smile: "Yes." Friends. You're here just in time! β
Haduron came up to Winlessa and saluted her, "Lady Winlessa, now the High Elf forces are under your command!" β
"It's good to see you." Weenlesa had been in the bitter cold of Northrend for more than half a year. Times have changed, and at the beginning, she just didn't want to face her family's obstruction of her love, and out of trust in the alliance, she formed a silver Covenant volunteer army of less than 1,000 people. Unexpectedly, after many times, she has now become the general of a multi-racial force of more than 10,000 people, and even the expeditionary force sent by Silvermoon City has to accept her command.
"But." Thinking of her own business, Wen Lesa blushed a little, "General Hadurun. You know my bottom line. While in Quel'Thalas, I never led a full-fledged force of more than fifty men. And you are the famous Ranger General of Silvermoon City. It's up to you to be the commander of the High Elves! β
"No one is born to command. Lady Winlessa - I should call you General Winlessa by now! Haduron looked at her earnestly, without the slightest joke, "You have done a great job!" I believe you can lead us to victory! β
Wen Lesa did not continue to excuse herself. She couldn't help but think of ten years ago, when she and Luo Ning met, they were just a rookie who had just finished their studies as a ranger. Arrogant, willful, and impatient. Who would have thought she would be as successful as she is today?
However, she immediately thought of something else, and her brow furrowed slightly. "General Hadurun. Do you know what's going on with Sylvanas? β
"She's conducting a military deployment in Silvermoon City."
"I ...... When I was on the Frozen Throne...... "She wanted to tell her sister about seeing Sylvanas become the King of the Banshees." But he was very hesitant.
"She already knows. That thing. Haduron understood what she meant, "Don't worry. General Sylvanas is stronger than you think. Prince Kael'thas will not be defeated either. β
"Then I'll be relieved." Wenlesa finally smiled with relief.
The war is drawing to a close. Only a handful of abandoned natural disasters remain on the battlefield, struggling in vain. In the end, Grom couldn't keep Brooks. Although he wants to kill each other very much. But Brooks is not a vegetarian either. The Death Knight had no intention of fighting, when most of the Scourge warriors withdrew to the fortress. He drove Grom back, then ascended to the fortress and ordered it to withdraw from the sky.
At the moment, there is no special weapon for the Flying Fortress, so you can only watch it leave.
And when the Viku dragon knights found more and more archers and mages joining the battlefield, their losses immediately multiplied. Pursued by angels and giant eagles, the wolf bèi had to retreat to the castle of Utgard. King Imiron was furious, but there was nothing he could do.
After the bridge was shattered, Imiron was troubled by the fact that he could not lead a large army into the battlefield. But now that the Alliance's forces have arrived and driven out the Scourge Legion, it's his turn to worry about how he will be able to resist if the Humans repair the bridge and the army will attack.
