…… Chapter 201: Quildore's Family (1st Update)
"Intruder spotted, five-star danger rating."
"The defense system has been activated...... An orange-yellow body, streamlined armor full of beauty, crystal eyeballs that glow blood-red, and an energy core that glows with arcane light in the middle of your chest...... A large number of mechanical creatures more than four meters tall were carved with arcane charms that glowed brightly, and they were striding into the battlefield with the stereotypical mechanical warning sound.
Arcane Guards, mechanical guards created by the Queldores.
Arcane Wards are the best blend of arcane, alchemy, and engineering. They are powerful, hard-armoured, immune to magic up to a certain strength, and have one of the most crucial advantages of this war - they are not affected by natural disasters, plagues, and toxins.
When there were two hundred such big guys rushing to the battlefield, Lao Tang's originally somewhat anxious heart was also quietly relieved.
At least after more than two hundred arcane guards blocked the gap in the city gate, with the cover of the arcane guards' huge mechanical body, Old Tang's combat pressure was suddenly greatly reduced, and he could also breathe a little relief from the high-intensity battle just now, and rest his body and mind.
With a long sigh of relief, Old Tang began to look at the mechanical reinforcements with interest.
At the front row of the arcane guard queue, there were seven large machines with two old Tang towers. Different from the orange-yellow streamlined bodies of ordinary arcane guards, the hideous brown-green bodies of these seven big guys contain even more powerful power!
As soon as they stepped into the battlefield, the seven mechanical guards, who were more than six meters high, raised their arms in unison and aimed the "cannon mouth" hidden in the palm of the mechanical hand at the undead natural disaster that was pouring in from the gap in the city gate. Immediately afterwards, seven tyrannical currents as thick as thighs shrouded the gap at the city gate more than 20 meters wide.
Within a few moments, the air was filled with a disgusting stench of burnt. The undead who were hit by this electricity could not resist the blow of this tyrannical energy, and even the vast majority of the walking dead were turned into charcoal in an instant.
Using the energy core in the body to simulate a powerful electric current, a powerful blow like a lightning chain is the most powerful attack method of these seven mechanical guards.
However, although this attack method is powerful, it must also be a big burden in terms of energy consumption, and it cannot last.
After only three waves of raging lightning to clear the gap of the walking dead, the seven Okusui Guards, who were clearly different from the others in mass-produced goods, had already rushed to the city gates, picking up their metal fists equivalent to large sledgehammers to hammer the influx of Scourge undead.
And the more than 200 arcane guards followed, their tall, broad, solid and heavy bodies already blocking the gap at the city gate. After a while, because Old Tang was delayed by the sneak attack of the crypt lord, the lost right to control the city gate was returned to the hands of the coalition forces at one time.
"Those seven big guys are the Flame Blade Protectors." Just as Old Tang was carefully observing the mechs who came to the rescue, a reserved and proud voice sounded behind Old Tang, "The advanced model of the Arcane Guard, having four of these mechanical guards working together is enough to leave an adult dragon. ”
Old Tang turned his head to look at the source of the sound, and the shadow of the ninth-order great assassin Velles*, who had previously been in the Sunchaser Royal Court Council, appeared from the shadows in a fluctuation of the air.
"If it weren't for the amount of energy it takes to activate these mechanical guards, you can use these Arcane Guards as the best warriors."
The High Elf Thief's reminder finally made Don match the scene in front of him with the memory in his mind. Aren't the seven brown-green machines the ones that appeared in the Well of the Sun in the game of the previous life? These hard stubbles that had made many teams suffer at the beginning of the reclamation of the sun well made Lao Tang remember it deeply.
However, the praise of these big guys by the Velles Shadow was directly ignored by Don.
There's no denying that these Flame Blade Defenders do have good combat effectiveness, and the production version of the Arcane Guardians is quite difficult. Unfortunately, the two disadvantages of not being able to operate for a long time and being scarce are too fatal.
Unless it can be produced in a structured way, and the energy-hungry weakness is properly addressed, trying to replace the melee class with Arcane Guardian will always be a pipe dream.
At the beginning of the war, it was not that Old Tang had not fought the idea of these arcane guards, but it was a pity that the entire Quel'Salas had only just produced and hoarded more than 500 units, and such a scarce number was too much, so Old Tang had to give up after asking for a while.
More than 500 Arcane Guards were thrown into the encirclement of the 400,000 undead army outside the city, and I am afraid that it will not be long before they will be smashed into broken parts to the ground. What's more, most of these more than 500 units were also taken away by King Anastrian and brought to support the defense of the Well of the Sun.
The remaining 200 or so units would not be of any use in a large-scale battle, but it would be a good choice to use these mechanical guards in the narrow area at the opening of the city gate to resist the advance of the Scourge troops. Not only can they avoid being besieged by the natural disasters and undead, but they can also give full play to their powerful and sinking characteristics, and it is more than enough to defend a gap of more than 20 meters.
Without revealing the thoughts in his mind, Old Tang nodded at Velles* Shadow, and was about to ask for some information. Without waiting for Old Tang to speak, after bowing to Old Tang reservedly, this powerful thief has already stated his task:
"On the orders of His Royal Highness the Prince, lead a team to reinforce the defense of the city gate. Reinforcements include two hundred and thirty Arcane Guards, one squadron of Battle Mages, three squadrons of Fire Mark Assassins, and two squadrons of Spellbreakers. ”
With that, the High Elf Thief turned sideways and pointed not far behind him to give guidance to Old Tang, and with Old Tang's eyesight, he could clearly see a small team of five or six hundred people, hurrying towards here from the direction of the Sunchaser Royal Court. The two High Elf generals who took the lead were none other than two other members of the later "Council of Illidare" - the High Spiritualist Celevor and the Crusher Garcios.
Although the reinforcements were less than a thousand including those arcane guards, they were more than enough for Old Tang.
Not to mention the lawbreakers who are responsible for guarding the royal court on weekdays and must not be lightly transferred, this elite unit representative of the High Elves; Not to mention the Fire Mark Assassins and powerful Arcane Guards who made great names in the Outlands in later generations, that one squadron of battle mages alone was enough to surprise Old Tang.
Although the battle mages are not as prestigious as the Magus legion, they are even rarer in number, but they are not inferior to the elite of the Magus.
At the cost of giving up the ability to cast spells on a large scale and the advantage of range, the battlemages have mastered the essence of fast casting and mobile casting through the training day after day. They also attach great importance to physical exercise, and they are not as weak and slow as their ordinary counterparts.
Coupled with a good sword skill and flexible body skills, this qiē is enough to make battle mages comfortable in a high-intensity battle, rather than needing proper protection like other mages.
The most important thing is that the power of the spells cast by the battle mages will not be diminished because they are special! And when it comes to dealing with a cannon fodder-rich enemy like the Scourge Undead, there's nothing more effective than a wide range of spell attacks.
"Tell the warriors who have just arrived to watch your steps and be careful!" Old Tang Chong was about to step forward with a stern face, and the High Elf thieves who had killed the undead of the natural calamity that had broken into the city instructed, "There is still a Crypt Lord hidden under the ground who is always ready to sneak attack!" ”
Even the surprise brought by the reinforcements did not make Old Tang forget the Anubarak lurking deep underground. In the moments he had just had been talking to the High Elf thieves, Old Tang had been on guard against the Crypt Lord, and even most of his mind was focused on sensing the movement of the earth under his feet.
Being hidden in the shadows by a heroic powerhouse, always ready to sneak attack, is by no means an experience worth savoring.
In fact, Don had to be careful not to expose the flaws so that Anubaraq seized the opportunity to successfully sneak attack.
After revealing a momentary stunned expression, the ninth-order Great Assassin Welllais* Shadow nodded at Old Tang and entered a stealth state again. Seeing that the reinforcements had arrived, everything was arranged, and Old Tang no longer paid attention to the situation at the city gate, but tightened the tomahawk stained with Anubarak's viscous blood, closed his eyes and carefully felt the vibration under the earth.
The gap at the city gate is not too big, and the cataclysmic undead who poured into Silvermoon City in a unit of time do not have a numerical advantage, and they cannot play the most terrifying undead sea warriors of the Scourgeon Legion. With the Arcane Guards blocking the gap, the gates can be released in a short period of time.
As long as the Minotaur warriors of the First Wing of the Dragon Wrestling Legion can wipe out the crypt demons that they drilled before, the situation will be completely back under the control of the coalition forces, and Arthas's series of arrangements to blow up the city gates and send a large number of crypt demons to raid is equivalent to useless work.
The key issue now depends on the next actions of the Crypt Lord Anubarak. Whether there will be any variables in this battle for the city gate depends on what kind of performance this heroic powerhouse will have in the next action.
A heroic master who erupts wildly is to change the situation of a battle, or to change the overall situation of an epic battle, which happens from time to time in the world of Azeroth, where power is paramount.
Before, Old Tang broke out with all his strength to block the advance of the Cataclysm Legion, but he was forced to avoid the loss of the city gate, and now that he had turned his hand, Old Tang finally put all his energy on guarding against Anubarak.
In the previous battle, Old Tang, who had ravaged the Crypt Lord, was now confident in defeating this hero-level big bug.
If Anubarak shows up to fight again, Old Tang doesn't mind letting this general of the Cataclysm Legion stay here completely!
