Naxxramas. The Scourge Fortress, which sowed fear and plague and made Gilneth a city of the dead, is facing an unprecedented crisis.

The last expeditionary raid forced Neozu to forcibly teleport Darkan in the fortress and forcibly summon the lich to the Frozen Throne to protect him. Later, Darkan donned the Helm of Domination and became the new Lich King, leaving no time for Lordaeron. So until now, Naxxamasri still has not had an actual commander.

Even if Darkan could teleport back again, the army in this Scourge fortress would not be enough to withstand the Alliance's attack.

It has in fact been abandoned.

The leaders of Naxxramas gathered. Spider Demons, Humans, Necromancers, Lichs, Death Knights, Abominations, Frost Dragons, and all sorts of Scourge monsters discuss countermeasures. But there is only the voice of contention here, and no one can come up with a plan that can convince everyone.

The Black Witch Farina, a noblewoman of Lordaeron who had become a scourge in the past for the sake of eternal youth, said: "We can't sit still like this, either flee to the sea or land on the ground to fight the Alliance!" ”

Her seventh husband, the plague messenger, North, said, "Yes, I think it would be better to flee to sea. Our Naxxramas are strong, and as long as Dalaran can't shoot us down, we'll be able to get rid of them! ”

Filthy Hilgei sarcastically said: "But what if it is shot down? If we fall into the sea, we will sacrifice worthless! It's better to land and fight them! ”

The dumb-headed leader of the abomination, Pachewick, immediately said, "Fight, fight! Kill, kill, kill! Kill them all! ”

The natural disaster scholar Loosseb immediately asked, "But can we fight it?" I'm not afraid to sacrifice for natural disasters, but I don't want to sacrifice worthless! Naxxramas is one of the most important research and manufacturing bases for the Scourge Corps. If it's ruined, the Lich King's plans will be severely thwarted! This is even more severe than our sacrifice! ”

Seeing that they were about to quarrel again, Gotik the Reaper could not help but cry out in annoyance, "Do you have to vote?" Isn't there anyone who can come up with a better way? ”

"I have an idea!" Black Witch Falina's eyes suddenly lit up. She smiled maliciously, "I have a way to kill two birds with one stone!" ”

"Tell me, my dear, what is it?" Her concubine North immediately urged.

"We ......"

Before Falina could say anything, the floor shook violently beneath her feet. She was shaken to the ground. A figure pounced on her.

"Boom!"

At this time, the earth-shattering sound of cannon came to the ears. Everyone heard the sound of something shattering and collapsing.

Naxxramas is attacked!

Farina pushed away the disgusting natural disaster scholar Looseb who was pressing on her, stood up and patted the dust on her body vigorously, and said viciously, "We have been attacked!" ”

"What kind of weapon is this, it's too powerful!"

"A few more attacks, and Naxxramas will surely sink!"

"Plans for a transfer to the sea can be ruled out."

"Listen to me!" Farina screamed, "I have a way! ”

――

"Boom!" When the loud noise of the earth is returned. Giggs on the deck of the Heavenly Punishment let go of the hand covering his ears. He saw that a huge hole had been blown out of the corner of Naxxramas, and that the flying fortress was even a little unsteady and crooked.

"Well done, my darling!" Giggs jumped up excitedly. "The starter hits! That's what I want to see! ”

The crew of the Heavenly Punishment also let out a cheer. Obviously, now Naxxramas is no longer justified. There are more than a dozen cannons, and it is estimated that there is no need for Dalaran to shoot. They alone will be able to shoot down Naxxramas!

Giggs shouted: "Clear the chamber and prepare for the second shot!" Don't be stunned, hurry up! Send natural disasters to the sky! ”

"Yes, sir!" One of the gunners saluted and squeezed his eyes.

"Although I didn't have a military rank, I was also a major officer back then! Well done, soldier! Giggs said proudly, tilting his head.

Of course, the leaders of Dalaran's command saw this scene as well. Archmage Antonidas, High Elf Prince Kael'thas and Eagle's Nest King Vorstad are all here. It was they who had just given the order to attack.

"That cannon is really exciting!" Furstad. Brute Hammer watched in amazement.

"Their technology looks very desirable." Kael'thas commented.

Antonidas smiled, "It seems that the magic tower attack we prepared may not be needed. ”

The Skybreaker has a lot of firepower, but it is slow to reload. On average, it takes 10 minutes to launch once. Antonidas ordered Dalaran to come closer. The battle has begun, and soon the more than 60,000 Alliance troops in the Magic City will launch a general assault on Naxxramas - if the Scourge floats to the ground or if there are any surviving remnants of its crash.

Furstad saw that Naxxramas was a little off-balance, but he still tried to turn around. Fleeing in the direction of the northeast, he couldn't help laughing: "It seems that these natural disasters are dizzy, do they still think that they can drive to the sea?" ”

Kael'thas frowned, however, "That direction...... It's Zu Aman! ”

"Scourge ready to drag the trolls into the water?" Antonidas also immediately realized that something was wrong.

If Naxxramas descends on the territory of the forest trolls, the Alliance's forces will go from fighting the Scourge to fighting both the Scourge and the Trolls.

This is by no means good news.

Although the trolls and scourge of Zuaman are not allies, as long as the forces of the alliance want to get in. The forest trolls are bound to go to war with the Alliance's armies.

"Then let's leave them alone, let them eat dogs!" Trolls fight the undead. It's better to lose both! ”

"But what if the Scourge wins?" "Then we're going to have a worst-case scenario - the forest trolls are all turned into natural disasters. Scourge will then get a second defensible base in Lordaeron. ”

The three looked at each other. I feel that the situation in front of me is a bit tricky.

"Just ask Svein. Where is he? Antonidas remembered that the military expert was also in Dalaran. He should be able to make the most rational judgment, right?

――

Kael'tham's guess was Farina's evil idea. As soon as she proposed it, it was approved by everyone.

Alliance, trolls, and natural disasters, a great chaos between three opposing forces, this will inevitably bring opportunities for natural disasters. If only you could get a lot of corpses. Whether it's an alliance or a troll, that will greatly increase the strength of the Scourge. Maybe they can turn against the customer, or not!

However, the first thing they had to ensure was to survive the attack of the sky-breaking cannons until they reached Zuaman. Otherwise, it's all empty talk.

"How much longer?" Farina asked anxiously. The second shot had just hit the main body of Naxxramas, and they didn't know how many shots the flying fortress would last. Even a single hit on its powertrain would be a fatal blow to Naxxramas.

North said: "Half an hour." At the current rate, it will be half an hour! ”

"Half an hour. And three more ......," Falina muttered.

"Pray that the other side is not accurate, or that our fortress is strong enough!" Louseb said in a deep voice.

――

"Let's fly closer and give it a shot!" Giggs yelled, "Shoot it down, shoot it down!" ”

"But sir, our motivation has been driven to the maximum!" An Air Force second lieutenant said with a bitter face.

At this time, the communications liaison officer ran over and reported, "Sir. Arraign's command! He handed a note to Giggs.

Giggs read it at a glance, and mentioned exactly what the leaders were worried about. "Write back to them, and ask them to send someone, as long as it can speed up our Heavenly Punishment! Come on some mages and see if they can do something! ”

"Yes. Sir! ”

"And," Giggs called to the messenger, "inform Colonel Couch aboard the Punishment that it's time for them to strike!" Blow up that turtle shell! ”

"Yes, sir!"

Soon, the helicopters aboard the Punishment began to rise into the air. The lightened airship also reached the Scourge Fortress at an accelerated speed, and the cannons on it began to fire.

Svein was called over, after hearing their concerns. After a little thought, he came up with a solution: "There are two options. One is to shoot down Naxxramas before it reaches its destination; The other is how to cope with its successful landing in Zuaman. ”

Everyone else began to listen intently.

"The former. Now Naxxramas has been broken through two holes by artillery. We can send powerful heroes and elite troops to break through with guò flying machines and flying mounts. The inside should be closed to the outside, and the explosive/bomb is buried from the inside to destroy its power system. ”

"The latter. If Naxxramas succeeds in landing in Zuaman. Our troops don't have to land right away. Instead, they first attacked Naxxramas from the air, killing and wounding those who wanted to leave, or who were hiding in the fortress. Once the natural calamities have been nerfed to a certain extent, the trolls can deal with them. If the trolls are inferior, we will provide air support. If it's a balance of power or an advantage, you can leave it alone. If it's a big advantage, we can even consider helping a little bit of a natural disaster. ”

"It's poisonous." Furstad commented.

"But it's good!" Kael'thas smiled.

Antonidas said, "Mr. Svein." You have solved our worst concerns perfectly. ”

At this time, the news from the Heavenly Punishment was also sent here.

"Let's try the former first! If it fails, consider the second option. ”

"We need to assemble an elite squad right now!"

"Haha. I'm definitely going to be the only one to do! "Furstad is the first to sign up," the Griffon Knights of Eagle's Nest Mountain will successfully send the warriors into Naxxramas! ”

"I'm joining too." Kael'thas stepped forward. Since the last conference of the Alliance. When he learned that he had fallen into a demonic servant on another plane, he held back a fire in his heart. The indescribable boredom made Kael'thas desperate to prove to everyone that he would never go down that path.

This will be an opportunity, a chance to prove it to everyone!

When the other heroes also arrived, the personnel of the elite unit of the raid were soon decided:

The Eagle's Nest King Furstad will lead his more than 700 griffon cavalry to join the operation.

Kael'thas himself, Ranger General Lotharma. Theron, as well as more than two hundred High Elf elite rangers and mages, will also participate.

"Ember Bringer" Mograini is in charge; Paladin Lord Tirio. Fording will also be joined by three hundred paladins.

Dalaran sent an unprecedentedly powerful archmage regiment. In addition to Antonidas and Dredden, who will be in Dalaran, the remaining Modra, Crassus, and Anna will lead thirty archmages to participate in the operation.

The rest are Valoran's heroes and warriors. Lux, Britz, Angel Hiko, Cassadine, as well as Darius, Theon, and Bloom will all be joined by him.

Kyle is still sitting in Pearl City, preparing with Karthas to re-summon Jiang Weihan. Dalaran's army was led by Svein.

After a few minutes of assembly, the Hammerhammer Griffon Knights flew with them to the breach of Naxxramas amid the rumbling of cannons. Cassadine carried a large amount of "Hex Demolition Explosives/Charges", not to mention blowing up and sinking the entire fortress, but it could definitely break Naxam's power system completely!

But it was definitely a very risky operation. If they are surrounded by a numerically superior scourge and cannot get out of trouble, they may be buried by the Scourge; And even if you succeed in burying the bomb/bomb, but you can't find a safe chance to retreat, many people will be in danger; There may even be a possibility of accidental injury from a shell from the Celestial Punishment during the attack.

But no one cared about it. Many people remembered the last time Jiang Weihan led an expedition of heroes to raid the Frozen Throne. This seems to have become a template for the raid of small elite troops, and everyone is expecting the same miracle to be done.

And it just so happened that another shot hit the vicinity of the site where the first shot hit. The Naxxramas tectonic zone has opened up before them.

――

"Today is the day of the general assault on Naxxramas." Karthas said. He's working with Kyle to create an oversized summoning circle. It's exactly the same as the one they remembered when they summoned Jiang Weihan in the War College.

Karthas is a man who can endure loneliness, but after working with Kyle these days, he can't stand this strange atmosphere. This angel is obviously preoccupied, but he does not show it at all. Her helmet shielded all eyes from searching. It was only this awkward silence that made Karlswan twist.

"I know." Kyle replied.

The muffled response made Karthas feel like silence, "I say, Angel, you seem to be thinking about the Commander. ”

As soon as he said this, he regretted it a little. She's not going to be angry, is she? Karthas thought.

"Do you want the Commander to never come back?" Kyle's cold voice was questioning.

"Of course not, and I hope he will come back." Karthas denied, "But I don't think it's useful." It is likely that he has been sent to other planes by the bronze dragon's artifact. To be honest, even if all of us in the Valoran Federation exert our strength now, it will hardly be able to have one-tenth of the strength of the original summoning of the War College. Besides, without Kieran's help, it is unlikely that we will be able to break the barriers of time and space with our strength. ”

Kyle paused and looked up at Karthas, "So, you have a better way?" ”

“…… Not at the moment. ”

"Then use what you have." (To be continued) R466
