Chapter 184: Threatening each other
Akmund had just jumped into the sky to storm the flying fortress that had been dropping mana bombs on the ground when a figure with wings of light appeared in front of him.
"Sure enough, it's you!" Akmund's eyes were full of green, and his face was a little distorted. It's this person again, and he has been blocked several times!
"Who else else?" Jiang Weihan asked rhetorically and summoned his own weapon. Speaking of which, he is the only one who has always dared to trouble Akmund.
Jiang Weihan has a team of Holy Light Wings behind him, allowing him to fly in the air like an angel. After the Battle of Burning Wood Village, Kang finally learns the spell he desperately needs from Kyle.
When he appeared, the angels Kyle, Burning Heart, and Hiko also appeared, followed by Karthas and Sindra who floated in, the archmages of the Kenrito Council standing on the magic flying carpet, Anna, Ronin, and Thrall, who was lifted up by a whirlwind.
In terms of the number of people, the heroes occupy an absolute advantage. But Akmund alone was bigger than all the heroes combined, and so was his strength.
The air forces have already begun an orderly retreat. Jiang Weihan and the others only needed to hold Akmund in tow - Anna and Dalaran's mages stood together, and the Rainbow of Focus in her hand was aimed at Akmund to provide considerable deterrence.
Seeing this, Akmund could only dismiss the idea of attacking. Although he wanted to do this, past experience told him that Jiang Weihan had the ability to control time, and his attacks were almost all in vain.
He narrowed his eyes and stared at Jiang Weihan, "This world is only so big. How long can you escape? I have a lot of time, and I can slowly ruin the world. You will have less and less room to live, and you will eventually die in despair! β
Jiang Weihan replied: "You don't have to worry about our fate. Akmund. β
If Akmund had done that, perhaps he would have succeeded. Jiang Weihan thought that if the Burning Legion changed its strategy because of his arrival, it would really be extremely trickyβso he had to think of something to provoke the Great Demon and make him dispel this thought.
Jiang Weihan immediately thought of a solution:
"I know what you want in this world. I know that the power of the Well of Eternity draws you in. You said you would be waiting for us in Mount Hyjal - then I will return the word. After crossing the sea, I will go to Mount Hyjal to destroy the World Tree and the new Well of Eternity. Even if you do destroy the world, you won't get anything. β
There was a dangerous glint in Akmund's eyes. He did covet the power of the World Tree. That power would have allowed him to reach the heights that Sargeras had once reached.
"You dare!" Akmund made no secret of his threat.
"You're ready to destroy the miΓ¨ world, what don't we dare?" Jiang Weihan replied singlely, "And this is not the end. The Burning Legion has made countless enemies in the Warped Void, and I will find all the allies who resist the Burning Legion, including Naru, and destroy you at the root - Sargeras is silent, and no one in your Legion can threaten me. I have the ability to do that. You should know that this is not a big deal! β
Akmund scoffed: "A group of losers unite in a delusional attempt to defeat the winner? β
"You'll have to try it to find out!" Jiang Weihan's face was full of confidence. Even he himself thinks the success rate is quite high. His self-confidence made Akmund even more fearful.
If Akmund couldn't get the power of the World Tree, it would really be possible for Jiang Weihan to realize what he said. He still remembered that he and Kilgardan were chased and beaten by Jiang Weihan in the twisted void. Although that was because the other party held the Eye of Sargeras, when Naru fully supported Jiang Weihan, he did have a power that could rival the two brothers.
ββ
"Ginger. What you just said was serious? On the way back, Anastarian couldn't help but ask.
"Which one?" Jiang Weihan asked.
"Destroy the World Tree." Anastarian's face was a little odd.
"If Akmund is really steady, destroying all the way and not rushing to attack Mount Hyjal." Jiang Weihan replied solemnly, "I would really consider doing this." β
Anastarian said, "Night Elves aren't that easy to talk to. β
The High Elves are from the Night Elves. They're arrogant enough. But it's still a little worse than the Night Elves.
The Night Elves have a long history of seclusion and arrogance. They are blessed by the guardian dragon and protected by many demigods, such as Elune, the goddess of the moon, and Cenarius, the king of the forest. Azeroth has never been so favored by any other race.
With such a unique environment, it is estimated that other races will also be inflated and complacent.
If Jiang Weihan really intends to destroy the World Tree. There was no way the Night Elves would say yes. Jiang Weihan felt that the other party did not even hesitate to make enemies of the new alliance. It will also protect the World Tree until Akmund's attack makes them desperate.
"Then think it's a bluff. As long as Akmund is willing to believe it, anyway! Jiang Weihan shrugged indifferently. Anyway, the World Tree doesn't belong to his family. As long as you can stop Akmund, anything goes. And it seems that his bluffing should still have some effect.
Lieutenant Branmar, the griffin knight returning from the battlefield, reports the situation of the battle of the Sadol Bridge to Garissus. The new marshal was stunned.
In the old alliance, he was the one who was most disgusted with Jiang Weihan, because he opposed Jiang Weihan's actions from the bottom of his heart.
Garethus hated orcs, hated the undead, and didn't even like the High Elves, who had been allies.
During the Second War of that year, he was ordered to lead an army to support the High Elves and defend Quel'Thalas, who was besieged by orc forces. However, another group of orcs destroyed his homeland, a land near Stratholme.
Gathers stubbornly believed that if the humans hadn't divided their forces to rescue the High Elves, his army would have withstood the Orc's onslaught, and his family would not have been slaughtered by the Orcs. After the war, these high elves were still ungrateful and selfishly withdrew from the alliance, which made him extremely hostile to the elves.
So he didn't have the slightest affection for either the orcs or the High Elves.
And at present, Jiang Weihan is surrounded by all the people he doesn't like: the selfish Gilneth people. A magic-abusing wizard of Dalaran, the undead. Orcs, High Elves...... These add up. It has long surpassed the rescue of Valoran's army in the Battle of Broken Ridge last year.
Garisers was eager to part ways with the new coalition led by Jiang Weihan.
His expectations had been fulfilled at the last conference of the Alliance. The leaders of the Alliance, led by the wise King Terenus, abandoned the "evil" clique of all the people he hated.
But now, this group of people is helping the alliance stop the pursuers!
Gallisus was torn apart: should he report the news to King Terenus?
ββ
After the air force returned to Dara, several leaders discussed sending someone to contact Terenus to convey and discuss the transfer of refugees.
Several people looked at each other, and Antonidas said, "I'll go." β
If Jiang Weihan went, he would definitely hurt the other party's face - the last time he said at the Lordaeron Throne Hall meeting, "Akmund will be greatly relieved by this" because of the Alliance's reluctance to send troops to Silvermoon City, the leaders of the old alliance could not step down at all, and the results of the later battle of Silvermoon City also showed that his plan was completely correct. His departure would only embarrass each other between the two alliances that disliked each other.
Anastarian was also reluctant to communicate with Terenus. Saarland is even less likely. The remaining identity of Queen Tess is sufficient, but she is not familiar with politics and may not be able to grasp the point.
Come and think about it. And only Antonidas is the most suitable.
With the addition of the army, the total number of troops exceeding one million is very large. The forward of the refugee team was already close to Lokmodan, and the ones at the back were still dozens of kilometers away from them.
Muradin led the way in front. They had just passed through a muddy swamp and were now navigating winding mountain paths and tunnels.
Muradin pointed to the row of stone houses in front of him and said, "Your Majesty, there is the Ogaz outpost in front, let's go there and rest for a while, enjoy the hot water, the wine, and the sword dance of the dwarven girls!" You can reach Ironforge in three or four days at most! β
"Well, that's great." A long-lost smile crossed Terenus' face. It's been a whole month since their team set out from Lordaeron King City.
He was old and rode all day. The inner thigh was very uncomfortable, and he had been a little mentally poor during this time.
"Your Majesty, friendly reminder, Dan Moro is very cold. You have to ask everyone to prepare thick clothes, padded jackets and cold protection supplies in advance! Muradin said so. But he himself was only wearing a jumpsuit, and his thick arms were always exposed.
Soladin glanced at him and said, "You don't seem to be afraid of the cold at all. "As the king of the Arathi Heights. Soladin is physically strong. He wasn't much younger than Terenus, but he was a veteran. Not as polite as Terenus. Almost never wielded a sword.
Muradin looked up at him and said of course, "Of course. We dwarves are used to ice and snow! β
At this moment a griffin knight signaled with a long whistle, and the Brute Hammer Dwarven King Vorstad said, "Someone is approaching us from the sky. β
The leaders immediately became alarmed, "Is it the Burning Legion?" β
"Probably not. There was only one man, a wizard. "The man whom Furstad heard from the griffin knight's whistle should not be hostile.
Soon, this approacher appeared in their field of vision. Several barbarian hammer cavalry escorted the archmage Antonidas to them.
Antonidas landed and greeted them, "Good day, everyone! β
"Hello, Archmage!"
"It's you, you just scared us!"
A few people made a joke at this time. Although Antonidas chose the Valoran Federation, they were never enemies. This is clear to all.
"Archmage, why did you get here?" Solas asked.
When the new alliance fought the battle of Silvermoon City, the people of the old alliance retreated first, so they unconsciously felt a little weak when facing the people of the new alliance. However, according to the time, the people of the new alliance should have already evacuated, why did they come to them? That's what Solars and the other leaders are saying.
Antonidas said, "I have news for you. β
After a pause, the archmage continued, "The Burning Legion is chasing you! β
Terenus frowned, "I have ordered Garissus to blow up the Sador Bridge. β
"But the Burning Legion has a way to get through. They march two or three times faster than yours and will soon catch up. "Antonidas learns from their reaction that Gariss' report hasn't arrived here yet." More crucial is the intention of the Burning Legion - Akmund intends to wipe out all resistance from the Eastern Kingdoms. Only then will you consider switching to Kalimdor! β
"In that case, we can't avoid it. It's time for a fight! Varian gripped the weapon, his eyes piercing.
After learning of the great victory in the Battle of Silvermoon City. Varian thinks they have the same strength to launch a counterattack. At the very least, it can stop the Burning Legion's attack from advancing.
"Haha, I'm going to have to show those demon cubs how powerful my hammer and axe are!" Muradin didn't look worried. Now close to Ironforge's sphere of influence, the dwarven warriors will take on the demon hordes on their own land!
Terenus cast an inquiring look at the archmage, "You're ready to fight back?" The old king measured in his heart, he and Jiang Weihan had a very stiff quarrel in the last meeting, if the other party came to release the intention of cooperation this time, then he would cherish this opportunity to get back together.
At least judging from the facts, Jiang Weihan's strategic vision is indeed better. He must admit it.
"Now is not the time to fight back," the archmage shook his head in disapproval, he could see the disapproval and contempt of several leaders. "If our enemies were the same ones that Quel'Salas had encountered, we would have launched a counterattack. But now these demons who came out of the portal are all the elite of the Burning Legion. Not to mention, there is a kind of giant magic mecha with a height of twenty or thirty meters among them, this kind of big guy can shatter the city wall with a single punch, and it is extremely strong in itself, and even many powerful magic can't destroy it. Hard-hitting confrontations will only cost us a lot. β
"Twenty or thirty meters high? Not two or three meters? Oh my God, how was it made? The Great Tinker of the Gnomes, Sema Prag, was amazed.
Gnomes are good at technology, but their most cutting-edge technology can't build mechs that are more than ten meters tall. He was very curious. I really want to see what the magic mecha looks like.
'It would be better if we could disassemble one,' he fantasized to himself.
Although they hadn't seen this super mecha monster yet, they could all imagine what kind of terrifying monster it would be. Except for the Great Tinker, everyone else was terrified. Ordinary soldiers are no different from ants in front of such monsters.
With one last bit of expectation, Solas asked, "How many of these mechs are there?" β
"More than a hundred." Antonidas replied.
The faces of the crowd were full of despair.
The archmage was indifferent. If they hadn't sent someone to take out the demon-forging camp in Silvermoon City, the Burning Legion would have been producing a steady stream of these magical mechs. The news came out of the words. What should these leaders look like?
Terenus's face was dead, "In that case, where is our way out?" "If the Burning Legion is in pursuit. How long will they last? Without a boat, they simply had no way to escape. And it takes at least three months for the fleet to get to and from Kalimdor. How can they hold on?
The same is true for the others. In this way, they came to Azeroth only to postpone death.
Varian said in a deep voice, "Stormwind still has some ships. Terenas Majesty. I command that the fleet will send you safely to the New World! β
There are still some ships in Stormwind, but they are only enough to transport about 10,000 people at most. This meant that they had to abandon their people and flee alone.
The leaders only felt extremely bitter.
"Actually, you don't have to be so pessimistic," Antonidas interrupted their sorrows, "that's why I'm here. β
Seeing that the foreshadowing had been completed, he told SΓΉ Terenas and the others about the rescue plan they had discussed earlier.
As an old man accustomed to the world, Antonidas knew how he could fight for the greater good of the new alliance. The new alliance has de facto broken away from the old one. They are in a relationship of equal cooperation. Now is the critical moment in the fight against the Burning Legion, and it is only natural that he will have to fight for the dominance of the new alliance.
The old alliance needs their rescue, and in the future, of course, it will be on the side with a weaker voice in cooperation.
Jiang Weihan no longer wants the right plan to be carried out correctly, so he must be obedient to others - especially the diehards of the old alliance.
This is another important purpose of the Archmage's trip.
Several kings here are not stupid and naturally know the price it takes to accept the rescue. For a while, they were a little difficult to accept.
Just then, the griffon knight sent by Garithars to report the news finally arrived. Lieutenant Branmar jumped off the griffin and reported the news of the battle of the Sadol Bridge to Furstad. Only then did they realize that the new alliance had saved them once before it came.
At this point, Terenus no longer had the courage to refuse and negotiate. He looked at the other leaders, and they all saw the same look in each other's eyes.
"So, where are we going?" The old king said this. Now he is mentally prepared to accept the new alliance as the leader. He felt relieved when he made this decision.
All this time, the battle reports from Silvermoon City always made him wonder if he was taking his personal feelings too seriously as the leader of the Allianceβhe had heard that the Orcs and the Forsaken had done very well in that great battle. The glorious results of the Battle of Silvermoon City were inseparable from their hard work.
The new alliance has done what it would have taken the entire major leagues to accomplish with half the strength of the previous major leagues. This undoubtedly proved him wrong.
Antonidas smiled, "Dalaran is flying from the west of Danmoro, and the expected rendezvous point should be near Ironforge. β
As a former member of the Old Alliance, he also very much wanted to see Tyrenus and the others on the right path. (To be continued......)
ps: Today is April Fool's Day for me, it's obviously a pit man's day......
A few days ago, I said that I will strive for more than 10,000 words this month. Last night, the code word was well coded, but suddenly there was lightning and thunder. I just figured there wouldn't be a power outage, right?
And sure enough, it stopped. I was shocked, and in the blink of an eye, I called again. I turned on the computer, opened the document, and before I could start writing the first word, the power went out again!
This time it was six o'clock this afternoon!
Isn't it a cheat!
I won't sue you sΓΉ I coded 1500 words on my phone for two hours last night =-=!! R1292
