Chapter 224: Trading, Temptation, and Trickery (2-in-1)
Several spectacular small mushroom clouds finally dissipated in the cold sea breeze.
The roar of high-explosive bombs resounded across the battlefield, and bloody limbs, broken bones and flesh were lifted into the air by the strong air currents of the explosion, and then fell from the air a moment later and swayed across the entire battlefield.
Regardless of whether the character of the goblin profiteer is cowardly, paranoid and crazy, or greedy for money and willing to take risks, I have to admit that at least in the field of explosives, Alien Black Gold is definitely a professional, at least a few streets away from half-people like Don. Explosions, a simple and crude means of destruction, have the potential to become an art in the hands of the goblin race......
Through Guò's calculation of the timing of the blasting, the ** secretly arranged by the goblin profiteers played the most effective this time.
The direct damage of massive bombs is secondary, but the cyclones and shock waves that burst out because of the explosion are so powerful that they affect most of the area of the army of the undead. The Sea of the Undead of the Scourgeon Legion, which was hindering the cavalry troops, was shattered in an instant under the counterattack of the Goblin Death Cavalry, and could no longer form an effective interception, let alone rely on numbers to contain the advance of the cavalry troops!
On the contrary, the coalition forces that fought with the undead scourge did not suffer the slightest damage. Except for the dust and blood that were kicked up by the air current, the tens of thousands of allied cavalry were no longer disturbed or affected in the slightest.
However, this is also in line with the style of the goblin profiteer, after all, he can now follow closely behind the "tip of the storm" of Old Tang. As a goblin, the attribute of seeking advantage and avoiding harm on the battlefield is integrated into the bones of Calorie * Gold Coins, even if he becomes a death knight, the goblin profiteer will never become a battle maniac like Old Tang's younger brother Violent Cow Anak, and put himself in danger......
"Well done, it worked better than I thought!"
Squinting his eyes at the scattered and broken natural disaster formation in front of him, Old Tang's originally tense face finally showed a smile. The heavy losses of the undead natural disaster under the explosion made Old Tang praise with satisfaction: "Happy cooperation, profiteer!" ”
"Of course, you have to know that Gude is a big man, our goblins have always been clearly marked in business, and Tong Su is not bullied!"
Hearing Old Tang's praise, the goblin profiteer's face inevitably showed a proud and complacent expression, and he boasted unabashedly, but the shrewd little eyes were already staring at Old Tang's face and turning slightly, and the fingers in the handnails were even more pointedly rubbing, as if reminding Old Tang of something.
"Don't worry, the reward won't be less than yours!"
Old Tang naturally knew what the hell the goblin Death Rider had in his heart, and reached out and took out a bag of gold coins from the magic backpack on his waist and threw it to Calorie Black Gold behind him, and scolded with an angry smile: "The goblin is in arrears...... I'm not as ignorant and brainless as the Lich King, and I'll do anything like that......"
This is not Old Tang's ridicule and ridicule...... Don't you see this naked-naked-naked revenge in front of you...... If these little greenskins are offended because of the gold coins, who knows when Old Tang will also carry a big heel like the Lich King?
"Aha, it's been a pleasure doing business with you, big man. Your generosity can light up the sewers of the entire city of Lordaeron! ”
After receiving the other half of the honorarium, the goblin profiteer was obviously in high spirits, and patted Old Tang's ass without a head. It's just that this clumsy boasting always makes Old Tang feel like he's scolding himself...... However, before the order to charge was given, in the surprised eyes of Old Tang, the goblin profiteer once again took out a dirty detonator from his backpack, and said to Old Tang with a sneering expression:
"Oh, look, I'll just say I forgot something... Hey... Hey..."
After that, the goblin profiteer ignored the black lines on Old Tang's head, and then crushed the second detonator in Old Tang's angry eyes that seemed to be able to kill people......
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
……
Another round of violent explosions exploded from the Scourge army formation farther away, and this time the Scourge troops who were lucky enough not to be affected by the explosion just now also followed in the footsteps of the previous wave of walking dead, and the Scourge elite army that was dragging between the reinforcements and the defense line of the Sunwell was mostly lost under the two successive explosions, and was no longer able to stop the advance of the cavalry troops......
"Ah, look at the big guy, I actually put a lot of thought into this transaction......" Looking at the gloomy face of Old Tang who was as black as the bottom of a pot, even if he was as cheeky as a goblin profiteer, he also opened his mouth a little unnaturally to "justify": "Of course, to do business, you always have to be prepared... Hey... You should understand the hunk Goode ......"
"I understand a fart!"
Seeing the goblin profiteer's tricks, Old Tang couldn't bear to scold his mother in his heart!
Old Tang is not an idiot, how can he not understand such an obvious thing? If Old Tang hadn't thrown the remaining half of the reward to this damned profiteer just now, or if the scheduled five hundred gold coins were missing even a copper plate, I'm afraid that this second batch of bombs would have to be detonated next to the cavalry units of the coalition army, and then the unlucky ones would be the reinforcements......
Niang Xipi!
I know that these little greens are unreliable!
In the stunned gaze of the honest and simple Minotaur warriors around him, Old Tang, who kept cursing in his heart, stared at the goblin death rider with a "bright" smile, and asked in a gloomy tone: "Profiteer, think carefully about whether there is any omission, is there a third wave of ......?"
"Well, no."
"It's okay, think about it. If there is a third wave, I will pay you an additional five hundred gold......"
"Well, no! I swear in the name of the gold coin...... The dividing line at the end of the battlefield...... The sound of violent explosions and the howls of the undead of the scourge were heard far and wide.
Not far behind the cavalry troops, several figures of all kinds stood quietly on a small hillside looking at the battlefield in the distance without saying a word.
"It's... That's a lot of money! ”
After a long silence, a death knight who was riding a skeletal war horse, lost his legs, his armor was shattered, and his naked body was exposed.
Watching the seventy or eighty thousand elite undead being tormented by two consecutive rounds of sudden explosions, the immortals suffered heavy losses, and the incredible changes in the distance made Baron Rivendell lose his calmness and composure to deal with the big scene in the past. And beside him, Her Majesty the Queen, Nathanos* Blightcaster, and the four Death Knights who had previously cooperated with the Crypt Lord Anubarak's operation, but were cleaned up by Old Tang, were also impressively listed.
"General!"
Kripps* Vengeance, the handsome and upright body of the undead thief suddenly emerged from the shadows, bowing respectfully in front of the "Queen Xià". Having just received orders from General Sylvanas, he has been sneaking around the side of the cavalry led by Old Don to find out the news.
"What about the explosion?"
Her Majesty's cold and pleasant figure without the slightest emotional fluctuation sounded faintly in everyone's ears. And hearing Sylvanas* Windranger's inquiry, several people around Her Majesty the Queen also stood solemnly and listened carefully.
"The explosion was premeditated and set in advance by the Minotaur general, and all the bombs ......"
The former MI7 ace spy pondered his words and replied calmly.
"How is this possible? How would he have known about our raid plans, and where did he get the time? But before the undead thief could finish speaking, a gloomy and hoarse voice of doubt suddenly rang out, interrupting Kripps*'s revenge.
"Shut up! Thassarian! ”
Her Majesty was obviously dissatisfied with someone interrupting this conversation, and glared at "Sister Kong" fiercely, and rebuked in a cold tone. Seeing that the Death Knight was silent under his own coercion, Sylvanas turned his head and said lightly to the undead thief, "You go on, Kripps." ”
"Yes, General! The bomb was installed in the bodies of many undead by the Calorie Gold Coins, the goblin Death Knight. And the gold coin of Calent* ...... He had already been bribed by the Minotaur general before......" Speaking of this, the undead thief's tone paused obviously, and he glanced at the expressions of everyone before he said cautiously: "He has ...... Betrayed the Scourge Legion. ”
"What, how is this possible?"
"Back... Treachery? Is he crazy? ”
"This damn green-skinned bastard, how dare he, how dare he! Don't let me meet him, or I'll tear him to shreds with my own hands and feed him to my ghouls!" ”
"Detached... A natural disaster? ”
……
Sure enough, as soon as the words of the undead thief fell, several death knights around Her Majesty the Queen exploded, and each of them shouted in surprise and anger, or muttered thoughtfully. And this time, Her Majesty did not stop the interjection of several people, but observed the different reactions of several people around her without a trace, and took in all their expressions.
After a long time, when the Death Knights regained their composure, a slight smile was already on the corner of Sylvanas* Windranger's mouth.
After a small temptation, the former Ranger Lord had easily figured out the inner thoughts and attitudes of these people she had gathered....... and had also identified which of these Death Knights could be used for her own purposes......
For example, the dwarven duke, who angrily cursed the Lich King's loyal attitude, has been quietly put on the death list by Her Majesty the Queen in her heart......
Nathanos* withering and Kripps* Vengeance glanced at each other tacitly, the corners of their mouths slightly curled. The two people who had already decided to follow Her Majesty the Queen also knew at this moment that which of these people should be vigorously wooed, and who should be behind the scenes...... Dead hand!
But now, the time has not yet come......
But this day shouldn't be too far away!
After a few people had quieted down again, Nathanos* wither, the descendant of Her Majesty the Queen, had already appeared and respectfully asked Her Majesty:
"General, we'll ...... next"
"Nathanos, Kripps, Koltila... Well... And Rivendell, the four of you go and gather the remnants, and gather as many troops as you can once the enemy's cavalry breaks through the lines. There are not too many people, and the elite combat power is the mainstay. ”
Sylvanas, who was happy because of the heavy losses of the Scourge Legion, called the names of the four people in a row, and still gave the mission order coldly on the surface, "Move quickly, the battle is almost over." Not much time wasted. We returned the way we came, following the Lich King's 'orders' and retreating to the Plaguelands. ”
After saying that, he waved his hand and motioned for a few people to hurry up. The few people who were named looked at each other, bowed, and then acted quickly to carry out the order.
"General, are we going to retreat? But the Prince of Alsace is still fighting! The Well of the Sun hasn't been conquered yet! Hearing Sylvanas's strange order, the dwarven duke asked in a fierce and incomprehensible tone.
"This is the order of the Lich King, Arthas is in charge of conquering the Well of the Sun, all you have to do is carry it out, Death Knight." Her Majesty the Queen was obviously unwilling to deal with this guy who had already been sentenced to death by her, and she did not explain too much and ordered coldly.
"But ......" It was evident that Her Majesty's perfunctory attitude could not satisfy the stubborn dwarven duke, and still tried to ask for clarification.
"Nothing!" Seeing that the dwarven duke still had an indomitable tendency, Her Majesty the Queen finally felt tired, and her impatient anger interrupted the chatter of the ninth-order dwarf death rider, and after squinting her eyes and releasing her momentum to suppress him, she asked word by word: "Do you doubt the strength of Prince Arthas?" Well? ”
Even if he is stubborn, the dwarven duke is not stupid.
Hearing Her Majesty's heart-wrenching words and the cold tone, and feeling the killing intent in the momentum of the heroic master of Sylvanas, the dwarven duke wisely put away his unwillingness and remained silent......
Looking at the dwarven duke, whose face was gloomy and ugly but no longer spoken, Sylvanas * Windranger put away his killing intent and momentum with satisfaction, recovered to a calm state and silently walked forward a few steps, looking at the direction of the fierce battle of the coalition cavalry, and muttered in his heart:
"Well done, my warrior... Well done! ”
No one noticed that after a chase with Old Tang, Her Majesty the Queen had already worn a unique ruby ring on the middle finger of her left hand, the Ring of Determination.
It used to be Don's ring.
This is the only one, and there is no semicolon...... The dividing line in front of the Temple of the Well of the Sun...... Mage! Knock out those dragonman spellcasters! ”
"Damn it! Watch your feet, it's the Crypt Demon! ”
"Ah, my arm...... Let's die together, filthy crumbs! ”
"Head! Shoot them all at the head of the undead with an explosion, and the rest of the place the arrows don't work! ”
"Captain, the Scourge has destroyed a Flame Blade Defender!"
"Shh
"Go back to your graves, undead mongrels!"
"Oh my God, that's Woodgate... My little brother !! ”
"He's dead! He's an undead now! Throw away your hesitation and confusion, or you'll die! ”
"Priests dispel plague toxins! Hurry up, hurry up! ”
"Bang!"
"Sonorous!"
"How long has it been since the Assassins sent out to liaise with the large force have left? What about reinforcements? Haven't the reinforcements arrived yet? ”
"Don't put your hopes on reinforcements, the big army has been entangled by the main force of the natural disaster! Now we have to rely on ourselves, don't forget our mission, behind us is the Well of the Sun, fight to the death! ”
"Fight to the death!"
"Fight to the death!"
……
The Temple of the Well of the Sun, which has maintained its majesty for thousands of years, is now in a bustling motion.
The orders and cries of the soldiers, the bloody and brutal roars of the undead, the terrifying sound of chewing flesh, the metal grinding of blades clashing, and the curses and wails of High Elf warriors as they were wounded or killed...... On the corridor in front of the Temple of the Well of the Sun, the fierce and brutal battle intensified.
When the main force of the High Elves on the defense line of the Well of the Sun was pinned down by the Scourge army, the Scourge finally showed its deep fangs. Under the command of Darkan, a well-known High Elf traitor, a small elite force of the Scourge launched a surprise attack on the High Elf warriors stationed there. At the very beginning of the battle, the Scourge forces relied on their superiority in strength and the strong impact and strength of the undead dragons and dragonbeasts to suppress the temple defense forces.
At the rear of the Scourge Raid troops, Darkan was watching the situation in this small battlefield with a gloomy face. He could see that his former compatriots were the true elite of the High Elf Kingdom, and they were resilient enough to be under the undead's almost furious onslaught... But this is definitely not good news for him......
Although the number of defensive troops is at an absolute disadvantage and the battle situation is suppressed, the tacit cooperation and the advantages of class matching have made it difficult for the natural disaster to advance and break through.
The remaining two Flame Blade Protectors are still firing lightning chains at the Undead Scourge, their massive mechanical fists repeatedly turning approaching Scourge into meatloaf; The spellbreakers showed their might, making the spells of the necromancers and dragon casters return again and again; Without spell interception, the battle mage's wrath could easily pour out on the heads of the undead; The elusive elven assassins and elven rangers also tacitly work together in a group of several people to snipe and assassinate those powerful elite undead;
What annoyed Darkan the most were the priests, whose healing spells had healed the wounds on the soldiers of the defending forces and strengthened the ability of the damned force in front of them to continue fighting. Not to mention those damn holy lights, which brought great harm to the undead, and made Darkan, who had become a necromancer, feel disgusted from the bottom of his heart......
The tenacity of the enemy irritates Darkan. The Well of the Sun was close at hand, and the incomparably powerful power was tempting his soul to move, but these ants dared to stop him!
"Whoosh!"
Enraged, Darkan fired three bone spears in quick succession, piercing the shattered metal shell of one of the Flame Blade Envelopers, lightly piercing the mechanical guard's energy core. This precise and lethal attack instantly paralyzed this extremely lethal battlefield killer to the ground due to energy overload, and then was forcibly dismantled into broken parts by a large number of walking corpses.
Destroying a roadblock, finally satisfying Darkan's destructive tyrannical mind a little, the necromancer, who had regained his feelings, turned his head with a sinister smile and commanded to the dragonman warlock on the side:
"In strong fortresses are also often breached from the 'inside'! Send a signal! ”
"Let the bait do it! “
"I was expecting their desperate expressions...... Q
