Chapter 102: Brothers Kill Each Other
The natural disaster came so suddenly, even when Darkan fled with Brooks, Jiang Weihan had a premonition that this day would come. But he had no idea that the history of this world would now be unrecognizable under his influence.
The plague did not break out in the Plaguelands and Stratholme, Naxxramas came to the continent of Lordaeron ahead of time, but Gilneth, who was originally closed off from the country, suffered on his behalf.
He was in turmoil for a moment. This qiē is almost always a butterfly effect produced by his actions. Thinking about it carefully, he had to admire the masterminds of the natural disaster. Gilneth is definitely a breeding ground for the Scourge Legion: populated, closed, and far between, there's no better place in all of Azeroth!
Jiang Weihan senses the teleportation beacon in Pearl City, teleports back to his room with Kyle, and tells Kyle to notify all the heroes to come to the meeting.
All the heroes under his command, except for Lux, who was in Dalaran, and those who followed Plancksi, all arrived.
"War is coming." Jiang Weihan began with a heavy tone, "The plague has broken out, and our army must arrive at the battlefield as soon as possible!" ”
The atmosphere in the conference room was somewhat solemn. The seven heroes, plus Gianna, all looked stern.
Gianna was the first to ask, "Where is it?" ”
"Gilneth."
Hearing this answer, Gianna felt that she should be worried, but she was a little glad in her heart: the plague did not break out in Lordaeron, nor in Dalaran or Kul Tiras. This should be the most acceptable result in her heart.
Jiang Weihan asked, "What do you want to say?" ”
Quinn began by saying, "We lack heroes who are dedicated to leading the battle. Now our army totals more than 10,000 people, and such large-scale operations require professional commanders. General or Commander! ”
"Then you can recommend them, and I'll summon them later." Jiang Weihan also thought of this, and he planned to summon Galen, the power of Demacia, and all the dreadnought vanguards under his command, as well as the Hand of Noxus, Darius, and his troops.
"I recommend Galen, he has a lot of combat experience!" As a soldier of Demacia, Quinn certainly recommended this famous general of Demacia.
Jiang Weihan nodded.
And Singid immediately recommended the hand of Noxus, who was close to him, Darius:
"I think the troops of Noxus will be more suitable for an army like the Scourge Legion. So I recommend Darius! ”
These two candidates were similar to Jiang Weihan's expectations, and he was not surprised.
The great inventor Heimerdinger raised his head, "War is not just a general who can lead the army. We also need staff officers to develop military plans. I recommend the Strategist to lead Svein, that guy's machinations are well known in Valoran! ”
The other heroes also thought so. Jiang Weihan's eyes lit up, and he forgot that Svein was a "peerless general", and he was definitely better than Galen and Darius in terms of strategy.
"Galen, Darius, Svein, okay, these three candidates can be determined. Is there anything else you would like to add? Jiang Weihan is full of confidence, and he must have enough energy to summon these three heroes and the troops under their command. Even though his previous attempts to summon Planck, Alista, Fitz, and Hecarim had almost completely drained his energy, the outbreak of the Scourge had brought him a lot of energy to change history.
Now that the war has broken out, it is just the right time to convert the energy into the combat effectiveness of the Valoran coalition!
Everyone added some details.
Upon hearing that Gilneth had built a magnificent fortress, Gilles nervously said, "Commander, my Hex bomb is designed to restrain this kind of fortification. Just dig a hole under the wall and stuff it with plenty of explosives/charges -- boom! That section of the wall will definitely blow up to the sky! His short hands made an explosive gesture, and with that shaggy face, it looked extremely comical.
But this is a good idea - it's definitely a good idea when the Coalition army needs to storm Gilneth!
After the general direction was set, Jiang Weihan looked at the great inventor and asked, "Heimerdinger, how has the magic communicator been improved?" Now is the time when it is needed! ”
Heimerdinger propped his head and replied, "It's still a little bit short of what you asked, Commander, but it's still ready to go." The current problem is that each Resonance Crystal Tower needs more than three communicators dedicated to the transfer. If you don't make this process smarter, training professionals will become a big problem! ”
Intelligence -- this aspect is the specialty of dwarf technology. In front of him, the gnomes were still fighting with the stone palatinous monsters on the front line of the Wastelands, and he had no chance to contact them.
Jiang Weihan asked, "I remember that Britz is just an intelligent machine?" Its creator was the mechanical pioneer Victor. Will he bring some help to the intelligence of machinery? There's also goblin scientist Jikhill, whose protective machine Qì Man also looks a bit useful. ”
Heimerdinger said: "There are some differences between their Zuan Technology and our Hextech Technology. Whether the specific results can be produced will be known until after cooperation. ”
Jiang Weihan nodded to show that he understood, he planned to summon Victor out, and there were residual anti-positive energy points.
He turned to the Jewel Knight and asked, "Tarik, how is your field hospital going?" ”
Tariq calmly replied: "Thanks to your support, we now have basic functions and are ready to be put into use." ”
As the name suggests, a field hospital is a battlefield rescue institution. Jiang Weihan hopes that Tariq can use his healing abilities to establish a medical organization to rescue the wounded on the battlefield in time.
Then he looked at the alchemist, "Sinjid, how is 'that' going?" ”
"Not so fast, Commander, it's going to take me and someone like Karthas who has research in that area. Now that he's gone, my research has largely come to a standstill. ”
The 'that' project in Jiang Weihan's mouth is one of his ideas. The Royal Apothecary Guild of the Forgotten has created a plague that can act on both the living and the undead. After the development was successful, some of the Undercity's betrayers dropped the plague on the Northern Expedition of the Alliance Tribes and the Scourge of Arthas, who were fighting at the Gate of Damnation.
The plague killed almost every target present that could be moved. The elite forces of the Alliance and the Horde were all wiped out, and even the spirits summoned by Arthas fell to the ground, and even Arthas was seriously injured by the plague. Berval Vortagen survived a little longer on his strength, and was cleared of the plague by the flames of the red dragon that arrived at him, and he was also roasted to a medium extent, and finally enslaved by Arthas.
Jiang Weihan was inspired by this scene: since this plague can be studied, can it be studied a plague that only has an effect on natural disasters?
- He wasn't mad enough to replicate the plague that the living and the dead had made by the fellows of the Royal Apothecary Society. So his instructions to Sinjid were to study the poisons/drugs that could only kill the undead of the Scourge alone.
Speaking of the plague, Jiang Weihan couldn't help but wonder: Ronin, Wenlesa, and Crassus have been gone for so long, and now that Naxxramas have all flown to Lordaeron, they should also come back. Is something wrong?
The group of people he was talking about had indeed had an accident.
Death Knight Brooks rode the Frost Dragon, and teamed up with Saffron, who had just transformed into an undead dragon, to intercept the actions of Ronin and the others, and fully achieved his goal.
In that fierce battle, Ronin's spell knocked Saferon into the sea, but one of Saferon's claws before the spell attack scratched the left wing of the red dragon Clyostraz, making him unable to fly smoothly.
And it was this opportunity that Brooks seized and hit Clay Ostraz in the ribs with an axe. Although Sarufar's counterattack also left a wound in his brother's shoulder, it would not be long before the Death Knight recovered.
Blox, riding the frost dragon Sindragosa, laughed loudly at his brother Sarufar: "How is it, my brother! I am stronger than you. You're no match for me! ”
Sarufar angrily replied, "Brooks, you won't be complacent for long! ”
Sarufar and Ronin clung to Clay Ostraz's dragon scales, blood gushing from the red dragon's ribs, barely able to keep flying. He let out a roar of pain, took a deep breath and let out a breath of dragon breath.
Brooks ordered the Frost Dragon under his seat to dodge, but the angry breath of the dragon still caused some damage to Sindragossa and Brooks.
Even more dangerous, Ronin took advantage of the dragon's breath to block Blox's vision and cast another spell, and a surging cloud of arcane energy slammed through the fire curtain on Brox, blasting a large hole in his chest. Black blood splattered everywhere with carrion.
Brooks let out a furious roar, he looked angrily at the red dragon crumbling in the air, and shouted, "You can't kill me!" Let's go out to sea and feed the fish! ”
The orc death knight let out a roar of victory. He ordered Sindragossa to fly back. This mage is still a threat, but the red dragon has been badly damaged, and in this vast sea, only death awaits them!
The figures of Brooks and Sindragossa faded into the sky. Clais Ostraz could no longer hold on, he was tormented by the pain and went a little crazy, and when the last threat was gone, he carried Ronin and Brooks headlong into the sea.
"Crassus, turn into a human! Did you hear me, Crassus? Become humanoid! Come on! Ronin shouted anxiously.
Blox's right, on this sea, he and Sarufar simply couldn't save an adult dragon weighing more than a dozen tons. If they can't find land or passing ships, they can't even protect themselves.
Moments before falling into the sea, Clyostraz finally took on human form before she fell unconscious.
Ronin took out a magic flying carpet and carried Sarufar and the seriously injured and unconscious Crassus, looking at the boundless sea around him, helplessness and despair rose in his heart: where is their way out?
