…… Chapter 149: Escape from Taquilin (Part II) (2-in-1 Votes)

The sunset on the horizon is about to fall into the mountains in the west.

The blood-colored twilight shrouded the kingdom of Quel'Thalas, which had stood for thousands of years, casting a dazzling and poignant red light over everything......

Squatting on the withered and decaying branches of a goldenbark birch tree that was at least a hundred years old but unfortunately died, Old Tang took a sharp arrow and sketched a rough sketch in the open space in front of him.

"I just took a closer look, this wave of undead natural disaster vanguard troops or cannon fodder troops does not have heroic-level powerhouses in charge!"

"However, there are quite a few eighth-order and ninth-order undead, as many as eight! These guys seem to be the high-level commanders of this group of undead troops. ”

"With the southern entrance of Taquilin as the center, the direction of seven o'clock and five o'clock guards the two huge stitch abominations whose strength is almost the peak of the eighth order, and half a foot into the ninth order; Extending two hundred yards back, at three o'clock there was a ninth-order lich and two eighth-order cursed cultists, firmly protected in the middle by this group of undead; At the front of the undead army, mixed in the middle of a large number of ghouls, there is an elite ghoul, whose strength is almost above the eighth order......

"Those two or three hundred gargoyles flying in the sky were commanded by an obsidian gargoyles with eighth-order strength. When we charge, we need to be vigilant enough to kill it as soon as possible; At last... At the end of the undead troops, in those crypt demons, oh, those bugs that look like big spiders. ”

When he realized that he said the term Crypt Lord, not only the Black Horn * Terror Totem and Carla * Cape, the two of his personal guards, looked dazed, and even the "Queen Xià" and several of her deputies did not know what to do, and Old Tang immediately changed his statement and explained to everyone. It wasn't until he saw everyone's expressions of understanding that Old Tang continued:

"In the ranks of those crypt demons, there is also a ninth-order crypt lord lurking!"

"Of all these undead commanders, he is the one who feels the most threatening to me! The battle will be fought in a moment, General Sylvanas, let's both fight together, and make sure to kill him before he threatens! Even the injuries are unreliable, you must know that these big bugs are also intelligent creatures, once they think that the battle situation is unfavorable, they will escape! ”

"Digging holes and sneak attacks, beating stuffy sticks is their forte! If we can't kill with one hit, having such a guy with intelligence, good strength, and no slick hands on the side will cause us a lot of trouble, whether it is on our way to Taquilin, or on the way to retreat after we have joined up with the defenders! This hidden danger, which is very likely to make my rescue operation fall short, must be nipped in the bud! ”

"I'll assign a task!" Raising his head and looking around at the generals gathered around him, Old Tang pointed at the sketch on the ground with the arrow in his hand as a paintbrush, and continued to explain.

"General Sylvanas!" Speaking of business, Old Tang also put away his cynical look, and said with a stern expression, "The three lichs and cursed cultists who are protected in the middle, you will personally snipe them, plus that elite gargoyle, no problem, right?" ”

When the battle order was issued, Lao Tang naturally showed the demeanor and toughness of the leader of the big clan, and his tone and attitude were inviolable!

And under the strength of Lao Tang, as a hero-level powerhouse and a strong and decisive woman herself, "Her Majesty the Queen" was also taken by this unquestionable momentum for a while, and nodded subconsciously.

"Excellent! Then these two stitched abominations and the elite ghoul are handed over to me! ”

Old Tang lowered his head and used the arrow in his hand to mark a path forward on the sketch in front of him. Only then did he raise his head and say word by word:

"There are more undead surrounding Taquilin than in the previous information, roughly no less than eighty thousand! It's clear that in the past two days we've been on our way, the scattered undead scourge in the vicinity has been converging on Taquilin one after another, and I'm sure that number will slowly increase over time! On our side, there are only more than 8,000 Kodo beast cavalry and ranger troops combined, so let's give up the unrealistic fantasy of annihilating these walking dead! ”

"Remember, our mission is to rush in, then rendezvous with the defenders of Taquilin and kill them out! It's that simple! I don't want my troops to be dragged down by the enemy because of their love of war, and there will be unnecessary sacrifices! ”

Old Tang's tone was unusually strict, the next opponent facing the Kodo Beast Cavalry Force was after all more than 80,000 tireless and painless natural disaster undead, not 80,000 scarecrows who stood still and let you ravage! In the path of the charge, even the slightest hesitation will allow the boundless sea of undead to drag the minotaurs and High Elf warriors into the quagmire, swallowing not even the slag left!

Bravery, decisiveness, and indomitable spirit are the indispensable momentum and elements of this battle!

"See the path I drew?" Old Tang pointed to his marked charging line and instructed the people around him: "Don't look at the momentum of the undead natural disaster, but their formation is definitely not monolithic!" ”

"Here, here, and here!" Old Tang pointed out three sections in a row on the sketch on the ground, "In these three areas, it can be said that the enemy's weakest link is the weakest link!" The undead scourge concentrated in these three areas, the main class of troops is the skeletons! And against these bone frames that fall apart at the slightest touch, the impact of the battle Kodo Beast can ensure that we have an absolute advantage! At least we won't get into a hard fight, just run over it! ”

"So... Carla Cape! Sue sù brothers, follow me after the war, don't fall behind! Along this road, we fought all the way in! ”

Carla Cape didn't speak, just nodded heavily at Old Don.

"General Sylvanas!" Seeing that Haijiao received the order, Lao Tang once again turned his gaze to the "Queen Majesty" standing aside, and asked: "The ranger unit should be equipped with armor-piercing arrow clusters, right?" ”

"Three Nirvana arrows, five demon-breaking arrows, two flares, and twenty silver arrows." Hearing Don's inquiry, Sylvanas* Windranger replied in his usual cold tone. "These are standard features for the Ranger Special Arrows. In addition, each Ranger's bow and quiver is equipped with a thousand ordinary arrows doped with Mithril. ”

The answer of "Her Majesty the Queen" made the secretly smacking old Tang involuntarily smile bitterly. The High Elf Kingdom, which has a history of nearly 10,000 years, is really wealthy! Not to mention the fact that Mithril is mixed with ordinary arrows, which is already a luxury in itself! Just the configuration of those special arrows made Old Tang dizzy! It's okay to say that the flare is not a murderous weapon with complex craftsmanship and hard to find? Even the ordinary-sounding silver arrows cost a lot of money!

You know, in the real world of Azeroth, the silver mine is not as bad as in the previous game, and you can pick a backpack by going to Winterspring Valley just a few times! If you don't control a few large ore veins, don't even think of it as an institutional application! For example, the Knights of the Silver Hand, the ace elite of the Lordaeron Kingdom, most of the paladins who can get their hands on a silver warhammer will treat it as a family heirloom, and take care of it carefully!

The thousand silver warheads in Old Tang's backpack that were ordered by the goblin engineers of Ratchet City cost Old Tang nearly a thousand gold! On average, it's almost a gold coin per piece! If you buy an ordinary buckshot or copper projectile with a thousand gold, the volume is enough to bury Old Tang and Manjiao together and roll around, which is more than enough!

But look at the other high elves, the silver arrows, the nirvana arrows, and the demon breaking arrows have all become the standard configuration of the ranger troops! Old Tang suddenly had a sense of frustration that people are more dead than people, and goods have to be thrown away!

The big war was imminent, and Old Tang finally suppressed the envy, jealousy and hatred in his heart for the wealth of the Kingdom of Quel'Salas, and continued to arrange the key points of the next battle:

"Those Crypt Demons are the elite troops of this group of undead scourges, and they pose the greatest threat to our soldiers! So at the beginning of the battle, the ranger troops need to prioritize the fight against these big spiders! Don't give them a chance to spray nets and burrow and dive! ”

Old Tang is very jealous of those hole-making experts. Speaking of which, the pliable belly of the Kodomon, which lacks the protection of heavy armor, is indeed the weakness of these big guys. Once these crypt demons successfully dive underground and launch a surprise attack from under the feet of the Kodo Beast Cavalry, even if these big spiders will be trampled into mud by the galloping Kodo Beast herd, their own Kodo Beast Cavalry troops will inevitably be sacrificed! This is what Old Tang does not want to see!

So Old Tang locked the first target of this battle on these Nibru worms!

"The Ranger has an effective range of about three hundred yards, right? How many rounds of arrows can the Ten Breath Time Ranger troops shoot? "Old Don suddenly thought of a key issue - range and arrow rain density! In this battle, whether the Ranger troops' firepower suppression is effective or not will directly affect whether the battle plan can be implemented smoothly! Even, the final casualties of this rescue force under Lao Tang are closely related to the appearance of the rangers in the next battle!

"The ranger troops I brought out were all taught by me personally! Every single one of them is elite! Speaking of the ranger troops he was proud of, the original cold face of the "Queen Xià", who was the lord of the rangers, was full of reserved pride! "Within three hundred and fifty yards, there are no arrows! Ten breaths is enough time for each of them to shoot fifteen arrows! ”

Hearing the answer of "Her Majesty the Queen", Old Tang nodded. Although the High Elf Ranger can't compare with the Minotaur Hunter with strong body and amazing arm strength in terms of range, this speed is enough to make ordinary Minotaur hunters unreachable.

Three thousand elven rangers can rain 45,000 arrows in the distance of 300 yards from the final charge of the Kodo beast cavalry!

This firepower ...... Enough is enough!

As long as half of these dozen rounds of arrow rain can deal damage, it will be enough to shoot those few crypt demons into hedgehogs!

Thinking of this, Old Tang's heart was settled. Once the Crypt Demon is eliminated, the remaining Scourge Undead are not to worry! The rhythm of the battle will be completely controlled under the heavy hooves of the Kodo Beast Cavalry Troops! Thinking of the excitement, Old Tang's fingers were forced, and he forcibly pinched the Mithril arrow taken from the "Queen's Majesty" quiver in half! Throwing the twisted arrow on the ground, Old Tang slapped it violently, turned his head to look at "Her Majesty the Queen" and continued to admonish:

"The head, chest and abdomen, these two places are already one of the few key points of these undead big spiders, plus that thick armor, ordinary arrows don't hurt them much! General Sylvanas, let the rangers come with two rounds of Nirvana arrows, and all the others with silver arrows, and we'll give these big spiders a hard time! ”

"Yes!" Seeing Old Tang's sinister smile, Sylvanas Windranger frowned slightly and replied lightly.

Not realizing that his hideous expression had caused a faint displeasure from the "Queen's Majesty", Old Tang beckoned to the personal guard Black Horn * Terror Totem standing on the side

"Pointe-Noire, inform the brothers! As soon as the battle begins, all the javelins are ready, aim at those crypt demons and fire three salvos, be sure to do the covering shot! ”

"Don't worry, boss!" Hei Jiao patted his chest, cracked the corners of his mouth and showed a bright smile at Old Tang and said, "Brothers, promise to tie those big spiders into meat skewers!" ”

Perhaps because of his personality, the cheerful and bold Cape Noire is not quite the same as his colleague, the calm and delicate Cara Cape. Also by the side of Old Tang, Kara Cape has always been respectful to Old Tang, while Black Horn * Terror Totem is even more open! From time to time, you can also joke with Old Tang a little presumptuously! Of course, Lao Tang himself doesn't mind this, they are all Shuharu brothers, and their identities are all floating clouds!

"Okay, that's all there needs to be paid attention to, let's go down and set it up!" Old Tang stood up, patted the ash on his buttocks, and said to the people gathered around him. Hearing Old Tang's words, a group of minotaurs and high elves saluted Old Tang Sylvanas* Windranger and dispersed......

"I really thought that you would rush straight to it recklessly." When only Old Tang and Sylvanas * Windranger were left, Her Majesty the Queen's gripping and beautiful voice gently drifted to Old Tang's ears with a mocking tone. "Didn't you say that simplicity and brutality are your way of commanding?"

Thinking back to the way Old Tang had just looked like he was talking eloquently, Sylvanas* Windranger's beautiful eyes flashed and the brilliance flowed. She really didn't expect that in just a short period of observation lurking on the hillside just now, this minotaur in front of her would be able to notice so many details, and formulate a set of effective targeted tactics in a short period of time!

Compared to his own strength, the hero-level self is much stronger than this ninth-order minotaur warrior, even if his great strength is staggering. However, when it comes to on-the-spot command and tactical layout, as a Ranger Lord, he is far inferior to him, a high-ranking overseer of the Minotaur!

"I told you, recklessness and bravery are two words to me, my lady!" Old Tang shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile, but said with an innocent look on his face. "It's true to be simple and rude, but I still have one more rule I don't tell you - I don't fight battles that I'm not sure of!"

Looking at Old Tang's expression as if he was a scoundrel, "Her Majesty the Queen" slightly pulled the corners of her mouth and said lightly:

"Goode ......"

"Huh?" The rare smile of "Her Majesty the Queen" made Old Tang feel uneasy. The gentleness of this smile almost made Old Tang fall...... lost his mind in an instant, which gave Old Tang the illusion that he had suddenly come from Northrend, which was frozen for thousands of miles and snowy, to Mo Gaolei, which was faint in the morning light and breeze......

Seeing Old Tang's stunned look, Her Majesty's smile was even better, and her slightly raised tone proved that she was in a good mood......

"What did you look like just now...... Very underwhelming...... The corner of the foothills not far from Taquilin.

Five kilograms of beast cavalry and three thousand elven rangers, two people and one horse, are ready and ready to go!

As long as Old Tang gave an order, the rescue force would be like a sharp sword shot out, rushing forward to the overwhelming and boundless array of the undead natural disaster, and pounced on Taquelin, who was surrounded by tens of thousands of evil and brutal walking corpses......

Pulling the reins of the barbarian horn, Old Tang turned the direction he and the brute horn were facing, and dragged sideways in front of the array of soldiers under his command. Looking at the thousands of faces in front of him that were either strict, excited, hesitant, or nervous, Old Tang stopped and said in a light tone:

"The Undead Scourge is powerful! Very powerful! More terrifying than any foe we've ever faced! ”

Just when everyone was expecting Lao Tang to say something to boost morale, the first sentence that Lao Tang said directly made most of the soldiers stunned. Even Sylvanas* Windranger, who was sitting behind Don, frowned when he heard this, and couldn't guess what Don was going to do...... The big war is imminent, but when he says this kind of demoralizing words...... "Her Majesty the Queen" even wonders if Old Tang is crazy!

But Old Tang turned a blind eye to the stunned expressions of the thousands of people in front of him, and continued unhurriedly:

"They come back from the dead to be ruthless and tireless! They come from the underworld without pain, sorrow, fear, pity...... They look without weakness and are invincible! ”

Just when Sylvanas* Windranger almost couldn't help but interrupt Don's crazy words, Old Tang's tone changed and became high-pitched and excited!

But these walking corpses, who have been deprived of their feelings, will never be able to understand how important and precious this qiē is to us, such as family, friendship, love, comrades-in-arms, compatriots, and homeland! They will never understand our determination to protect this qiē even at the cost of our lives! At a time when this qiē good thing is facing ruin...... We have nothing to fear! ”

"For Mother Earth!" This is a Minotaur warrior with a resolute face......

"For Quel'Thalas!" It's a blood-red High Elf Ranger with two eyes......

First suppressed and then raised, Lao Tang's declaration instantly made the fighting spirit of the soldiers like lighting a bonfire, blazing!

Old Tang raised his hand to stop the shouts of the soldiers, and the scene instantly became silent again!

"It's going to be a terrible war! In the land of Quel'Salas, we will fight to the death against the Undead Scourge! Perhaps many of you, including me, may fall on this land and die at the hands of the Scourge Legion's butcher's knife......"

Old Tang's tone paused, his eyes scanned the audience like lightning, and he said with a strong momentum and unquestionable tone pointing at the sky: "One day, we will all face death!" ”

"But...... It will never be today!! ”
