The strategy of flanking from the north and south went very smoothly. At first, the Scourge soldiers were caught off guard. The alliance was not only overwhelmingly superior in numbers, but also suppressed in combat effectiveness - there were a large number of battle priests in the legions under the command of Garethus on the northern front. Their holy water is the natural enemy of the undead. Moreover, since most of these undead soldiers were skeleton soldiers summoned by Kel'thugad in the cemetery, their combat effectiveness was already weak. Occasionally, some of the more powerful ghouls were completely incapable of posing a threat to the numerically superior Alliance soldiers. Far away by Master Dalaran or the Fighting Priest of the Church.

The fighting on the Southern Front was equally smooth. The three angels were in full swing, and countless undead soldiers were reduced to ashes with the swing of the flaming sword. And there were almost no casualties on their side.

Some paladins in the Order of the Silver Hand who had participated in the siege and suppression of the Psychic Academy had discovered an anomaly: the combat power of these Scourge soldiers seemed to be much weaker than those in the underground of the Psychic Academy. They are slow and weak in attack, and it is estimated that even ordinary people can deal with them as long as they are not panicked.

Of course, Jiang Weihan would not sue them, this is because a powerful lich under his command is using spirit spells to interfere with Kel'thugad's control over the undead soldiers, and these low-level undead are basically acting on instinct.

And when the battle line advances to Shattered Ridge Castle, the truly difficult battle begins.

As the heavy southern gate of the castle opened, a group of ogre undead walked out with heavy steps. At their neat pace, even the earth trembled slightly.

The transformed ogre undead in the intelligence have finally appeared!

Almost every one of these ogre undead was twice as tall as a human, and their thick waists might not be able to fit together. Their weapons are simple and crude, but they are terrifying to look at—some wielding pine branches seven or eight meters long, others holding planks thicker than the door panels, and others wielding stone hammers the size of millstones. One of them was the tallest - it held a giant sword more than three meters long in each hand, each weighing more than a hundred kilograms!

This creature has been making a terrifying impression on people since it came to Azeroth. Under their intimidation, some of the soldiers couldn't help but retreat.

Twenty years ago, there was no such thing as a giant man-eating monster like zài in this world. Ogres were originally a race in the world of Draenor. When the orcs invaded Azeroth, Gul'dan, a powerful warlock who secretly controlled the entire tribe, gained the allegiance of some ogres. Thus, the orcs brought this terrible monster of war to Azeroth.

When the orcs were defeated, some ogres took root in this world and multiplied quickly.

Ogres really have a tradition of cannibalism. They are naturally powerful, and they have rough skin and thick flesh. Ordinary bows and arrows are almost impossible to injure them, and only provoke their rage and bloodlust. Every human who fights it is in danger of being swatted like a fly by it.

This monster also has weaknesses. They are very bullying and afraid of the hard. If at an absolute disadvantage, they will not hesitate to run away.

But this weakness disappeared completely after they were transformed into undead - now these ogres are all super war weapons with a hundred enemies: tireless, painless, and death-defying. This is Kel'thugad's most satisfying masterpiece!

The total number of ogres who rushed to the troops on the southern front was about a hundred. But their momentum completely suppressed the Silver Hand and the Valoran coalition. In front of such a super monster, ordinary people are all afraid.

Seeing this, Mograini immediately shouted: "Everyone regroup, form a formation, hurry, hurry, hurry!" ”

The shouts of the front-line commander quickly calmed down the panicked soldiers. They regrouped as ordered, and gradually closed the scattered lines. Only by uniting can we fight against a monster like the ogre, otherwise under the charge of the ogre, the scattered formation will be directly penetrated.

Jiang Weihan was also on the side, and he shouted to Angel Yan: "The boys of the Air Force are on the stage!" ”

Angel Hiko was ordered to fly into the sky to deliver his orders.

Shrill Serpent's Captain, Valkyrie, received the order and shouted over the communicator, "It's time for us to put on a show, boys!" ”

"Screaming Snake, strike!"

"Angel Hiko, where is the enemy army?"

"Your three o'clock direction."

"Roger! The enemy is in the direction of three o'clock, repeat, the enemy is in the direction of three o'clock! Lads, speed into the battlefield and support the ground forces! ”

Valkyrie picked up the helicopter up to speed, the propellers stirred the air and hummed, and the yodeler ace pilot looked at the ground through his goggles and spotted a large group of ogres charging at the Alliance forces in Shatter Ridge Castle.

"Got you. Haha, eat some rockets, big guys! ”

Two rockets broke away from the helicopter and fell first into the ogre horde. Flesh and blood flew near the explosion site, and after the smoke passed, he saw that he had achieved a victory.

The rest of the helicopters followed, firing rockets into the enemy group. The Ogre Legion is full of explosions and fires. Not only did they inflict massive damage on the menacing ogres, but they also bought enough time for the Alliance forces to regroup. By the time the bomb was dropped, more than a quarter of the ogres were unable to stand up, and some of them were also mutilated and their combat effectiveness was greatly reduced.

The leader of the ogre horde with two swords roared at the sky, but there was nothing they could do with the heavenly creatures. Do you still expect to throw a few rocks to knock the plane down?

"The Screaming Serpent has finished dropping its bomb, please return!" Valkyrie reports.

"Agree to return home."

Mograine, who had already completed his assembly, raised his hammer and shouted: "Charge! For the Union! ”

"For the Alliance!" The soldiers shouted in unison, and the sound shook the sky.

Jiang Weihan turned back to Karthas and said, "Have you found the location of Kel'thugad?" ”

Karthas stretched out his hand and pointed in one direction: "I feel the breath of a lich, over there!" ”

"Okay, lock him up!"

Jiang Weihan clenched his staff and said to Kyle and Wayne, "Let's go support them!" ”

The battle was in full swing. Not only was the southern front blocked by the ogres, but on the northern front, Garissus's legions were even more thwarted.

Just when Garethus's legion was in full swing and thought the credit was within reach. As the gate north of Shattered Ridge opened, there were also about a hundred ogre legions rushing out. But this time it's not just ogres, but also undead snow monsters that are several times more numerous than ogres.

In the Alterac Valley, where snow is covered for nearly half of the year, snow monsters are the most suitable species to survive. And now it's the end of January, almost the coldest time in Alterac.

The soldiers were dressed in thick cotton clothes and armor. Heavily dressed guides, they move quite clumsily. This is nothing against skeletons and ghouls earlier, and provides better protection, but when facing ogres and snow monsters, this is an Achilles' heel.

In the face of the great power of the ogre, it is almost the same whether they wear armor or not - if they are hit head-on, it is impossible for ordinary people to survive.

The snow monster is the deadliest monster in the ice and snow. They are agile enough, with sharp claws and sharp horns, and what is even more terrifying is that there are some innate magical beings in the snow monsters, because of their affinity for ice and snow, they can almost freely control the power of frost in the ice and snow.

So the combination of the snow monster undead and the ogre undead put a lot of pressure on the Northern Front legion.

Seeing that the front line was tight and the human soldiers' bodies were unable to stop the ogre's attack, Garissus hurriedly called for help from Dalaran's mage forces. These are completely out of the ordinary. Only spells can deal with such powerful monsters.

** Shi Modra and her mage troops are the first to come to the front line.

But it turned out to be even worse than she expected: the best way to deal with this monster was fire-based spells. But in this icy and snowy land, the fire element is very thin. It takes a lot longer than usual to summon enough power of fire elementals. By that time, the front line would have certainly collapsed to the point of collapse.

But ice spells have little effect on snow monsters, and ogres are too resistant to beating, so they basically have no effect.

Arcane magic? There is also a lack of sufficient area damage.

The Battle Priests had consumed a large amount of holy water in the previous battles, and there were not many reserves left. They did their best to provide support with divine spell damage, but it was a drop in the bucket for the invincible ogre army.

Just as the ** teacher Modra was worried, she noticed that the Radiant Lady Lux was casting a spell - the Valoran representative stationed in Dalaran offered to join the battle, and Modra brought her over.

I didn't expect this to help her a lot!

Modra sensed that the genius magician was surrounded by a vast force of light. As the spell was completed, a dazzling cluster of light appeared between Lux's hands, and a red beam of light shot from the cluster towards the densest place of the undead legion.

"Demacia!"

Lux shouted, and a huge laser beam was fired in front of her, exploding in the direction of the red line. After the sound of an electric shock, there was no trace of the scourge where the beam had shone, only a long scorching scar. The air distorted by the heat and the melting snow and ice near the trail speak of the terrifying power of the magic.

Modra gave a quick glance at Lux's results: about a quarter of the scourge was gone!

The mages saluted in unison to Lux. In the past, they always saw a genius mage who was optimistic and cheerful and liked to play pranks, but they didn't expect that today this glorious girl proved the origin of her title with her strength.

――It's terrifying!

Modra asked, "What kind of spell is this?" ”

Lux wiped a thin layer of sweat from her forehead with her sleeve and replied with a smile:

"Ultimate Flash!"
