Chapter 205: Pick-up
…… Chapter 205 Recruitment
Silvermoon City, the Shepherd's Gate.
Broken masonry, piled up corpses, scarred streets, disgusting stench...... Severed arms and stumps, rotting blood and flesh...... The neat, glamorous, comfortable and elegant atmosphere of the past is now long gone.
As the area where the defense of Silvermoon City has been the focus of the undead in the past few days, the soldiers of the First Wing of the Dragon Wrestling Legion and the High Elf warriors who rushed to hear the news have been fighting the walking dead of the Undead in this place for several days and nights. And the natural disaster troops that have been swarming here for several days have fallen here, not to mention 20,000 or 30,000.
But the last thing the Scourge Corps cares about is that life is inexhaustible cannon fodder, and the wild offensive is still as continuous as a raging tide.
The steel defense line built by nearly a thousand Minotaur warriors looks like a reef that is constantly washed by the waves, but in fact it does not move. Although the wave-like army of natural disasters did not understand fear and attacked wildly, they shattered into waves when they hit the rock-like defensive formation......
And behind this defense line of the Minotaur warriors, a large number of coalition soldiers are standing with their hands in their hands, waiting for them. The atmosphere in the square at the city gate was extremely solemn for a while.
After knowing Alsace's suspicious plan, the old Tang and the others quickly began to prepare after determining the rush to the well of the sun. Since it was impossible to use teleportation to send reinforcements, and the Scourge troops outside the city were delaying their attacks day and night, the coalition forces had to choose to break through the siege in order to break through the enemy's encirclement and containment.
Five thousand Elven Rangers, five thousand High Elven Warriors, plus all the battle mages and spellbreakers in Silvermoon City, just a few hours later, Prince Kael'thas has selected all the elites of the kingdom and is ready for this breakthrough support operation.
On the side of the Dragon Wrestling Legion, Lao Tang also simply drew the second, fourth, and fifth wings from the not too tight city wall defense line, with a total of 15,000 Minotaur warriors as the main force of this breakthrough operation.
As soon as the order to attack is given, the more than 25,000 Coalition soldiers will fight their way out of the city and charge, with the help of the accompanying shamans, druids, and priests, to slaughter the walking dead of the Scourge as much as possible, while the rest of the coalition warriors will hold on to the city and not give the undead a chance to take advantage of it.
However, this elite force is not a reinforcement to the Well of the Sun.
In Old Don's plan, their mission was only to storm the enemy formation, contain the undead, and buy time for real reinforcements. And the reinforcements that were really sent were all cavalry!
The undead scourge attacking the Well of the Sun didn't know how far it had advanced, but Old Tang and the others had set off for at least two days according to estimates. And the pursuing troops, except for the cavalry troops, did not dare to guarantee that they would be able to catch up with the tireless undead day and night before the start of the big battle and arrive in time, after all, the coastline between Silvermoon City and Queldanus Island is not far away.
Three days!
In just three days, the undead scourge will surely kill!
The current coalition forces can only hope that the Sunwell defense line is strong enough to hold out a little longer before reinforcements arrive. However, neither Old Tang nor Kael'thas are optimistic about this. The Well of the Sun is not like Silvermoon City, there is basically no danger to defend except for the sea that lies there.
And although the troops stationed at the Well of the Sun are the most elite legions of the High Elf Kingdom, they are probably no match for Arthas and the elite undead under his command in the field. In the final analysis, in the face of the undead natural disaster, the weak High Elves are not as full of advantages as the Minotaurs, and under the premise that the lethality of the Ranger troops has been sharply reduced, the combat effectiveness of the High Elf Kingdom troops has been abolished by at least half! Old Tang could already imagine what a tragic scene would be when the hand-to-hand combat at the Well of the Sun would be......
Old Tang's eyes kept scanning the cavalry troops that had been assembled in the square, although the army was strong, but Old Tang's heart was not easy.
Three thousand elven rangers riding swift chocobos, more than 5,000 High Elf warriors riding Quel'Salas war horses, plus more than 5,000 Kodo beast cavalry that were used as hole cards and reserves by Old Tang, these were all the reinforcements that could be drawn in Silvermoon City at this moment.
It stands to reason that the combat effectiveness of such a force with a combination of light and heavy cavalry should not be underestimated, but according to the intelligence of the Velles* Deep Shadow reconnaissance, there are at least 100,000 natural calamity undead who have left the battlefield of Silvermoon City. And all of them are elite undead, except for a large number of elite ghouls, the rest are all difficult high-level troops such as Crypt Demons and Abomination. The gargoyles, who firmly occupied air supremacy, also sent out more than 8,000 elite troops to follow this undead scourge to go on the expedition......
The enemy that the cavalry units will pursue is not a soft persimmon.
On top of that, I don't know if the speed of reinforcements can catch up before it becomes irretrievable.
"The Overseer." Hadurun Mingyi, who was riding a "white chicken", came to Don's side and interrupted Don's thoughts. "The strait between the Forest of Eternal Song and the island of Queldanus is undoubtedly a scourge of the undead. No warships, those walking dead...... You shouldn't be able to set foot on Quelldanas Island, right? ”
Glancing at this one of the three giants of the future Silver Moon City who was a little puzzled and still unbelievable, Old Tang sighed softly, patted Hadurun's shoulder and said a word. He tugged at the reins of the horn and walked towards the staircase of the wall, where he saw Prince Kael'thas walking down the wall with a frown on his face.
"Don't forget, Arthas has Frost Sorrow in his hands...... Is Alsace still outside the city? ”
Rao is old Tang has always been calm and doesn't make a fuss, but after Kael'thas came to his side, the news he said still made Old Tang stunned.
"That's right, although it always feels a little strange, I can see clearly, it's that beast!" The elven prince said, and finally the hatred and anger in his chest were ignited again, and he cursed viciously.
"What about the other Scourge heroes? Is it still there? Old Tang pondered for a moment and continued to ask. For example, it's a big bug and ...... Sylvanas? ”
Frowning and thinking about it for a moment, Kael'thas shook his head at Old Tang Yan but firmly, as an answer to Old Tang's question.
Seeing the elf prince shaking his head in denial, Old Tang also changed from shock to doubt just now.
What's going on?
Could it be that he guessed wrong, Arthas has no intention of containing Silvermoon City from attacking the Well of the Sun? But what about the undead elites who killed the sunwells. Or did Alsace directly send "Xiaoqiang" and "Queen Xià" to lead the team, while he stayed in the town? It's not like hiding these two heroic masters and designing to lure the coalition forces into chasing and then waiting for an opportunity to sneak attack, right?
For a while, a lot of ideas popped up in Old Tang's mind one after another, but there was no way to determine which one was the most accurate guess.
Seeing Old Don frowning and thinking deeply, Kael'thas also began to think about various possibilities. The reason why Old Don, Kael'thas and Volettar were able to make a decision before, and the natural disaster bypassed Silvermoon City and went straight to the Well of the Sun, the movement of Arthas is a very important clue. But now that the butcher was still outside the city, the elven prince couldn't help but start to doubt his previous thoughts.
The two coalition men frowned and said nothing, and although the soldiers assembled in the square on standby had doubts in their hearts, they did not bother with anything. It wasn't until the old white cow Barathen* Linghoof and Vorretal appeared together, and saw that the two of them were obviously frowning, that they glanced at each other and stepped forward.
"Your Royal Highness, Grand Overseer." After bowing to the two of them, Warretal hesitated for a moment and finally asked, "Reinforcements...... Is it still sent? ”
"Pie! Why not send! Old Tang finally made up his mind after some thought, and replied categorically. He looked at the old white bull who had recovered his heyday, and said in a sincere tone: "Elder, maybe there will be changes in the battle situation of Silver Moon City after the reinforcements travel, if you encounter a hero-level powerhouse, you will be freed!" ”
With that, Old Tang beat his chest and gave a standard warrior salute to the soul walker. Old Bainiu was not pretentious, he was silent by nature, he nodded at Lao Tang, and made a promise.
Seeing that he took over the errand, Old Tang's heart was settled. As a hero-level master, a soul walker handed down by the Minotaur for the ages, the strong strength of Barathen*'s spirit hoof has been seen by Old Tang with his own eyes. In the face of the undead natural disaster, even the "Queen Xià" and "Xiaoqiang" are not pleasing in front of this master who controls the power of the soul. With him staying in Silvermoon City, he can at least minimize the danger that may occur.
After dealing with the old white bull, Old Tang turned around and called Old Man Gundrud, Jevarn Terror Totem, and Bane * Bloodhoof, who were also left by Old Tang in Silvermoon City to garrison, and gave them orders respectively, and then looked at Vorretal and explained:
"Prophet, after the reinforcements are dispatched, the city defense of Silvermoon City will be handed over to you for unified command! The soldiers of the Dragon Wrestling Legion are at your disposal! For specific problems, you can discuss them with the three of them! ”
Don didn't hesitate to say that as soon as he and Kael'thas left, the most qualified person to command the coalition army was undoubtedly this noble arch-mage with unique strategic vision and prestige. With the help of several legion leaders, Silvermoon City will definitely not go wrong!
Hearing Old Tang's words, Vorretal was not verbose, bowed in return and nodded firmly. However, after a moment of silence, Volettar finally asked what was in his mind: "Arthas is still outside the city, do you need to change the previous plan?" ”
"No need!" The elven prince, who had been silent, suddenly said with a hideous face, "The Scourge Elite is heading straight for the Well of the Sun, this can't be faked, reinforcements must be sent!" Since the butcher of Alsace is still here, let it stay forever! ”
"That's right!" tightened the two war hammers behind him, and the old Tang with the artifact in his hand was high-spirited. patted Manjiao's forehead, and Old Tang answered with a murderous face.
"We still have a good account between us and him to settle the score! I don't mind letting him fall here! ”
The murderous old Tang looked at the elf prince who also looked murderous, and said in a cold tone after seeing the other party's eyes that were also burning with anger:
"Last time, the two of us were forced to be quite wolf!"
"Kyle, it's time for the two of us to get back on the field!"
After receiving the power of the Titan from behind, the war hammer clenched his hand tightly, and Old Tang pulled the reins of the brute horn and turned the horse's head and said in a deep voice:
"This time...... Kill him! ”
