Chapter 128: The Circle That Changed the Tide of Battle
The Scourge Legion's desperate gamble did put Stratholme's defense in jeopardy, and the air force flew very fast, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a lightning speed.
However, Stratholme did intercept the Scourge Air Force with defensive means for nearly a night, and the casualties caused were difficult to count, while the casualties of the Jasper Collar were negligible.
It can be said that this battle is also unprecedented, but the Jasper Collar has done it, and in almost one night, the impact of the Cataclysmic Air Force does not know how many casualties there are, but it can't break through the Jasper Collar's defense network at all, how terrifying it is.
You know, although the gargoyles of the Scourgeon Legion must be a little worse in terms of combat effectiveness, but it is only a little worse. Coupled with the Frost Dragon, even if it encounters the Griffin Legion or the Dragon Eagle Legion of the Elven Kingdom, it will not be too much.
But that's it, the Scourge Corps used up for almost a night before the air force finally reached the sky above the city walls, and this night was destined to be planted in the annals of history, and this battle would also become a classic combat force in the history of warfare.
This is absolutely unprecedented in the history of Azeroth, as the Air Force has undoubtedly been one of the most powerful units in recorded Azeroth.
For example, the griffon, to be honest, if it is on land, his combat power may not be able to beat a real lion or a violent bear. But just because he can fly, coupled with his already good combat effectiveness, he has become the top of the food chain.
Not to mention the dragons, the dragons are the most powerful force in Azeroth, not only because they have powerful guardian dragon kings, but also because they can fly. And in the sky, they can exert an explosion that exceeds their combat power.
Make a stark contrast to illustrate. Speaking of overall strength. Dragons are far from humans, and assuming the dragons are still as powerful as they are now, they can't fly like dragonmen.
War with humanity. Then in the end, it will definitely be the human race. Humans have a huge population, and the tactics of using human sea alone are not something that dragons can deal with. Just like the battle of the ancients, how powerful the demigods of the ancients were, but they were still overwhelmed by the tide of demons.
Of course, this is just an assumption, and if a dragon can't fly, it's not a dragon. Precisely because he is the hegemon of the air, their deterrent power is enormous. In the event of a war with humans, the dragon legion can slaughter a city with ease. Then the rapid evacuation will not give the human race a chance to encircle and suppress it at all. In the so-called murderous red dust, get out of the white blade. It can well describe the role of the Air Force.
Since ancient times, only the air force can deal with the air force, and even if the other armies are equal in strength, they can only be crushed. And during the war between the Alliance and the Orcs, Jasper Collar used the air force to equip engineering items, such as bombs, incendiary bombs, parachutes and other items. The configuration of the Air Force has been renovated. Not only does it make the Air Force's combat effectiveness more terrifying. Becoming a harvester on the battlefield, Jasper Collar performed this with several heavy battles, causing the orcs to be defeated many times. Moreover, the air force's escape capability has been greatly enhanced.
However, this battle also demonstrated how to restrain the air force. A perfect night of sniping illustrates that the walls are not far away for the Gargoyle Army, but to them it seems like the end of the world.
The Scourge Air Force had a breakthrough just before dawn three hours before dawn, and their plan had failed in the strict sense of the word. Even if they used the three-dimensional formation, they still failed to break through the air defense network of the Jasper Collar in the real sense.
Despite the natural disaster, the air force has a small number of air force breakthroughs. However, a small number of air forces could only harass the city walls, and could not change the tide of the war.
As for the army, although they kept ramming the gates of Stratholme. But a large number of skeletons and fragments of battering rams had been piled up on both sides of the gate. In a sea of fire that will never be extinguished, one skeleton after another has turned to ashes. Although this loss of troops is only a drop in the bucket for the Scourge Legion, if it continues to be consumed like this, they will never want to break through the gates of the Jade Territory for the rest of their lives.
Kel'thugad's face was so palpable that everyone consciously left his surroundings, for fear that the leader would take his anger out on him......
"Chief, the circle is ready, ready to be activated at any time." Falina flashed to Kel'thugad's side and said cautiously, it was the first time she had seen the leader in such a state of approaching a rampage, even if he was severely injured by Bled last time, it seemed that the defeat in this war had completely driven the leader crazy.
Hearing Farina's return, Kel'thugad's face became even more ugly. Falina understood Kel'thugad's feelings. You must know that for the layout of this time, the Scourge Legion has done everything it has.
Luring the Alliance and Jasper-led armies to Zumashal, resurrecting the trolls in the Necropolis, and then trading with the trolls of Zuaman and Hinterland for bones, this nearly hollows out the Scourge legion.
However, although the lure plan succeeded, they underestimated Brad's strength, and in the process of luring, the Scourge suffered a heavy defeat, resulting in the sacrifice of several Scourge powerhouses.
Then, in order to make a new plague, he almost drove the Scourge Legion crazy, and finally made up the materials, and the plague was also made. As a result, all the plagues in Stratholme had no effect at all, and Naxxramas was destroyed.
Now the situation is that Stratholme must be taken, because it is impossible for Naxxramas to repair it in a short time, which means that if they fail this time, the Flying Fortress will be completely lost.
And seeing the natural disaster, the Air Force has not made any huge breakthroughs in the past night. They only have to set up a special magic circle. And in order to arrange this circle, Kel'thugad took out all his private treasures. It can be said that it is a complete desperate bet, and if you can't win, then Kel'thugad really wants to die.
"Go, I don't believe we can win like this."
At the top of Naxxramas, a huge magic circle has been carved, and the nodes of the magic circle are huge water blue crystals, and you can feel the surging water elemental breath just by sensing it.
Crystals are inherently rare, and such pure attributed crystals are even rarer, not to mention that these crystals are the size of a child's arm, if they are auctioned, they will definitely be coaxed by the ice law, and they can be sold for a sky-high price.
But in this circle, there are more than a dozen pieces, some small nodes and some smaller other elemental gems or crystals, each of which is priceless, but now it appears in the same circle.
It can be said that anyone who gets these can get rich overnight, and there is no problem in buying a better territory and becoming a lord. It can be said that this is Kel'thugad's lifelong collection.
Kel'thugad's heart was dripping with blood, and he slowly stepped into the center of the circle, his eyes flashing with a terrifying chill.
"Stratholme, see if you're really stopping me this time."
On top of the city walls, on top of the secluded towers, Aurelia and the others had been standing all night, but they were still in good spirits.
"Eldest sister, I feel the restlessness of the elements and demons." Sylvanas looked in the direction of Naxxramas and said solemnly.
Aurelia couldn't feel it, it can be said that as a high elf, even if they are not mages, they are more sensitive to elements and magic than real mages.
"This magic circle is not simple, but what can he do at such a distance." Aurelia was equally puzzled.
The others couldn't figure out what Kel'thugad was doing, but they couldn't stop it, and while it was difficult for the Air Force to break through Jasper's air defense network, it was equally difficult for them to get there.
But soon they knew the answer, and the circle in the distance emitted a strong aqua-blue light, and then a pillar of aqua-blue light that penetrated the heavens and the earth connected between heaven and earth.
As time passes, even ordinary people can feel the restlessness of the water element. You know, there is now a huge lake between the two armies that has been burning all night, and the undead of the Scourge Legion may not be able to feel it, but the soldiers of the Jasper Collar are already sweating profusely.
But since the aqua blue pillar of light appeared, they slowly stopped feeling the heat, but felt the air getting wetter and wetter, and even began to feel cold. Although they felt comfortable, all the soldiers knew that the Scourge would not be kind enough to cool them down. Such a large fluctuation of magic, which even ordinary people can feel, is definitely not a good thing.
Brad, who was watching the light curtain, looked at the water-blue pillar of light with a solemn face, silent.
"Brad, do you see what kind of circle this is?" Gianna asked.
Brad shook his head and said, "Although he was not at the scene, just by imagining it, such a huge water elemental fluctuation is unprecedented, I really can't imagine that any water elemental array has such a huge power." ”
Gianna smiled and said, "Brad, I didn't expect you to be cheated on sometimes. ”
Brad raised his eyebrows slightly, and said, "So you know this magic circle?" ”
Gianna nodded and said, "It's an acquaintance, strictly speaking, this is just an amplification array?" ”
"Amplification array, so many water aquamarines, it must be amplified ice spells, it is undeniable that the magic fluctuations are very powerful, but no matter how powerful it is, it is impossible to exceed the strength of a demigod, and a mere demigod's spell I can still resist it." Brad didn't doubt Gianna's judgment and went along with the reasoning.
Gianna was very satisfied when she saw that Brad did not question her judgment in the slightest, and continued: "What you said is not unreasonable, a demigod-level spell is not able to defeat Stratholme's defenders, but it is definitely the ability to turn the tide of battle. ”
Several other people listened to the analysis of the two, they were not mages, even if they were mages, their knowledge was not as profound as the two of them, after all, they were not the disciples of the leader of Dalaran, and they could not have the same ability to empty out Dalaran's library as the Jade Leader.
"The ability to turn the tide of battle?" Brad frowned slightly...... (To be continued......)
