Chapter Seventy-Five: Interception

Mages can fly through the sky for a short period of time with spells, but that can be very mana-consuming. ~~~~ Antonidas watched the mysterious mage drift away, but they were powerless to pursue, and finally had to wave everyone to stop.

"Forget it, we don't have to chase it." The old mage's voice was a little tired. "This is already beyond the confinement circle we have set up in Alterac, and the message has been sent so that Vargas can revoke it."

Karthas was a little unsatisfied, and he was able to continue chasing, but his form was very poor. The decisive battle with Kel'thugad consumed too much strength, and his body was also traumatized a lot. Even if he could catch up with that powerful mage, he would face the embarrassing result that he couldn't beat.

"So now are we?" He asked.

"Go and support them." Antonidas pointed in one direction. "I have a hunch that we'll meet that mysterious mage again."

"I hope so." Karthas shrugged.

On the other side, the three Dreadlords gathered.

Marganis said, "Archon, we have lost Deseloc. ”

"Those angels are a bit of a nuisance. What should we do now? ”

The leader of the Dreadlord, Tikdios, said, "The power of the angels is too much to restrain us. Deserock's soul was so traumatized that he almost died. It seems that Marganis, you did the right thing about your last escape in Stratholme. We Nasrezm have not died in war for many, many years. Unexpectedly, in just two months, he lost two powerful Nasrezm, Banazar and Deselok in succession. ”

"Yes, the sword in the hands of the angels and their energy can harm our souls. It's a nuisance. ”

"That's right."

"And should we go to the aid of the orc Death Knight?" Valimassas asked.

"Don't go!" Tikdios shook his head and resolutely denied this TiyΓ¬, "That elven mage still has some strength, and Anubarak is also a little clever, as long as they can meet, they can escape safely." We don't have to help them. You know, we are Lord Kil'gardan's men, and these natural disasters are only our servants. We don't have to hurt ourselves for the sake of our servants, and even more so we almost lost Deselok to stop the enemy for this group of servants! ”

"LinkedIn!" Marganis and Warimatas agreed. Driven by his selfish nature, the Dreadlord immediately agreed on a retreat.

"Poor Deselock, I don't know how many years it will take to regain strength?" Tikdios spoke sympatheticly, but his tone was more like schadenfreude.

"Is 2,000 years enough?"

"I think it's going to be at least 4,000 years."

Unbeknownst to Brox, and Anubrak had happily decided that the Dreadlord had given up on coming to their aid. They now have an army of about 800 undead, and except for more than a hundred human undead who are relatively weak in combat power, the others are naturally good at fighting Crypt Demons and Orc Undead.

Brooks asked, "What do we do next?" ”

"Wait for reinforcements."

"Other than that?"

"Don't be killed."

Brooks heard an eagle roar, and he didn't have to look up to know that the falcon was hovering over them.

With the guidance of Vallo, the Demacian Falcon, Kyle and Vayne caught up as fast as they could. They followed closely behind the army of the undead, waiting for their reinforcements to arrive.

When Yan flew with Jiang Weihan, Jiang Weihan asked, "Yan, what is the origin of the sword that Kyle gave me?" ”

Hiko replied, "It's called 'Silver Judgment,' and it was forged with Lord Kyle's Sword of Judgment. ”

"And was its former owner Morgana?" Jiang Weihan guessed. He knows the name Silver Trial, and in League of Legends, Kyle has a skin named after this. In retrospect, the sword did look the same as the one in his hand. In fact, Kyle in that skin is the armor that has been changed to a silver and blue paint, and the color of the gems on the sword has changed.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Be. ”

"Really, why is Morgana's sword kept by Kyle?"

Hiko shook his head vigorously and begged, "Lord Commander, you should ask Queen Kyle for this." I don't dare discuss the last thing Queen Kyle wants to talk about in private. ”

Jiang Weihan quipped: "Although Kyle doesn't seem to like to communicate with people, he is not a bad person, why are you so afraid of her?" ”

"She's our queen!" Hiko's voice was both proud and awe-inspiring. "We're close, Commander!"

Jiang Weihan could also sense the direction of Kyle and Wayne at this time. He looked farther ahead, and under the hideous night, it seemed that countless horrors were hidden. It seems that a big war is coming.

"How long have you been catching up?" Jiang Weihan asked.

"Ten minutes."

Wayne said, "Their numbers have increased. ”

"We should go ahead of them," Jiang Weihan analyzed, looking at the army of the dead who were scurrying in the dark night, "they can't retreat, they can only move forward." So we went to the front and put some psychological pressure on them. The defenders of Andorhar are approaching, and the more anxious these undead chase us, the sooner they will be intercepted. And if they don't chase us, the knights behind will catch up, and what awaits them is to make dumplings! ”

"Makes sense." Wayne nodded.

"Butβ€”" Kyle cast a puzzled look, "what is 'making dumplings'?" ”

Jiang Weihan fell into petrification.

"They copied us in front of us." Brooks frowned. "Take advantage of our numerical superiority and kill these annoying birdmen!"

Anubrak didn't care, and continued to crawl: "Don't be impulsive, Brox. Unless they voluntarily fight us, we will not be able to deal with an enemy with air superiority. ”

Brooks said unwillingly: "Then we just watch them? ”

"Don't worry, our reinforcements should arrive soon."

But before the reinforcements could be seen, the enemy army was one step ahead, and a group of human soldiers carrying torches illuminated a relatively dangerous hillside. The location is on the road ahead of them.

Jiang Weihan naturally saw the arrival of reinforcements one step earlier than the undead.

Quinn rode side by side with another general.

"It's you, Admiral!" When the general saw Jiang Weihan and the angels beside him, he immediately stepped forward and saluted, "General, I am Du Minglun, the commander of the Andohar garrison!" ”

Jiang Weihan nodded and said, "Hello!" General Du Minglun, how many people did you bring here? ”

Du Minglun said: "Because I had to march in a hurry, I only brought cavalry, a total of 1,200 people!" ”

"You should be familiar with the terrain around here, right? Let's find a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and snipe the undead troops on the spot, and when the pursuers arrive, they won't be able to escape! ”

"No problem!"

General Du Minglun took the order and left.

Strictly speaking, cavalry is an offensive type of troops, and if you want to fight positional warfare, the soldiers have to leave their horses to use as infantry. But in such a dark night, the vision of human beings is greatly affected, and the cavalry cannot charge at all. The undead, on the other hand, can have night vision, and can exert stronger combat power at night than during the day.

The fortifications were built on a shallow slope a kilometer away, and the peaks on either side were difficult to climb, and the undead had to break through the slopes between the peaks in order to get through the area. General Du Minglun believed that the undead who attacked on the back would inevitably pay a large price before they could get through.

When Jiang Weihan came to the fortifications, he unexpectedly saw a group of dwarves. And the weapons in the hands of these dwarves made him even happier - it was a dwarven mortar squad!

Jiang Weihan was overjoyed and stepped forward to find the leader of the mortar team: "You are dwarves from Ironforge Castle?" ”

"That's right, you're the legendary Valoran Lord Jiang and Jiang Weihan with angelic effects, right? Hello, my name is Dagor, the captain of the Mortar Squad in Andohal! Dwarf Digor replied enthusiastically.

"It seems that it is up to you how effective our resistance will be. Dagor, do you have enough ammunition? ”

Dagor, who was valued by this great lord, was very happy, and he patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, my lord Your Excellency. We brought a hundred shells, enough for these filthy undead to drink a jug! ”

The dwarves carried eight mortars, which equated to more than a dozen shells per cannon, which was indeed quite sufficient.

Jiang Weihan felt that how long this position could hold on would mostly depend on the dwarves' appearances. Then ensuring the safety of the mortar squad becomes a top priority.

He saw that the dwarves had set up a bombardment position a little behind the line with a better view, and he felt that this was not appropriateβ€”the Scourge side had a crypt demon, and that Anubarak would burrow into the ground and attack. This arrangement is not bad against ordinary enemies, but not safe against natural disasters with crypt demons.

Jiang Weihan looked left and right, saw the two peaks next to this hillside, and immediately had an idea: "You move the artillery position to the peak, and I will let the angels help you!" ”

When Brooks and his troops arrived in front of this hillside, the humans on the hillside had already launched a defense. There were rocks piled up in front of them, which could be used as rolling stones. The soldiers in the front row raised their shields and spears, and it was clear that it was not so easy to break through.

Blox looked at Anubarak: "If you have any ideas, just say it quickly, otherwise I will rush with them directly!" Although his knee was still a little bit of a move, Brooks didn't want to sit still. Even if you want to die, you have to die in the process of charging.

"Let these minions rush up and test it first. We must preserve our strength and not make unnecessary sacrifices. ”

Blox couldn't help but yell at the Crypt Lord, and said angrily: "Then what about those pursuers behind!" ”

"Don't be in a hurry, my friend. We'll get away. Even if you don't believe me, trust our master, the great Lich King! ”
