Chapter 0127: Battle of Stratholme (3)
The sunset is infinitely good, just near dusk......
After Anne's Fire Elemental Legion captured the city of Stratholme and wiped out all the undead, the revelry continued until dusk, when the fire burning in the city turned the sky red in the vicinity of the area. These fire elementals, after seeing that Her Majesty did not express any opinion, actually sprinkled with joy, and directly burned the entire ruins of Stratholme into a reddish molten field......
Now, the fire elementals' carnival has just begun!
Although, they don't know why Her Majesty would let them do this. But now that Queen Anne has acquiesced, they must try their best to transform this city into a fire-like land suitable for their fire elemental life as soon as possible, so that their fire elemental can live here in Azeroth for a long time.
After all, there are still quite a few nemesis of fire elementals, such as water or low temperatures!
Obviously, a large amount of water can easily douse a fire elemental and kill it! And too low a temperature will also quickly take away a large amount of heat from the body surface of the fire elementals, thus making the energy consumption of the hot core in their bodies too fast, and it is easy to fall into a sluggish state in a state of short supply.
So, they are now setting fire to Stratholme, melting the masonry, transforming the lava crypt, and trying to lure the magma of Azeroth from the surrounding mountains to transform the city, all of which are necessary for their fire elemental!
It is precisely because of this that now, this red color will appear more colorful than the sunset that is about to set on the horizon of Azeroth in the distance......
In this case, the members of the Lordaeron Kingdom Spator Troupe, who were still holding the banner of the envoy high and had been following behind the flame army, were now on that small hill, looking down and watching the entire siege battle, and they were speechless for a long time.
At this moment, they couldn't describe the strength and madness of the Fire Elemental Army in any words! The kind of flame legion that ignores everything and burns everything out of everything makes them unable to have the slightest idea of resistance.
Let's see, in the entire Eastern Plague Land, the great city of Stratholme, which gathers the most undead natural disasters, has turned into a sea of fire like purgatory on earth in a short period of time.....
Before that, for the Lordaeron humans in the Eastern Plague Lands, those undead could almost be regarded as terrifying beings that could not be easily defeated! Many members of the battle viewing group have experienced the despair when facing the sea of undead and the powerlessness when facing a large number of undead, and they all have a deep understanding!
And now, the members of the spectator group didn't seem to dare to believe what they saw, those hundreds of thousands of undead armies that had been pressing on their hearts, those terrifying beings that they couldn't easily say about fighting and winning, were just jokingly burned to the ashes by the Flame Legion?
This made them, the members of the viewing group, more or less have a sense of unreality and delusion. In their opinion, these incomparably powerful armies of the undead have become so vulnerable! So, what would happen if they were to face the Flame Legion with their broken human army?
......
The human beings' emotions didn't last long, and in a moment, another, more powerful and terrifying being instantly attracted all their attention.
Because of this, the hordes of fire elementals were able to revel and celebrate their victory in the city of Stratholme for long, and now they had to hastily assemble and prepare to fight the terrifying foe that seemed to be so powerful at any time.
In a city that is still burning and transforming into a molten realm, the situation is so similar to what it was a few hours ago, when they were eyeing the city outside to contain the undead scourge! Merely... Now it's their turn to be surrounded by enemies!
And, more importantly, outside the shattered southern gate of Stratholme, there was no undead scourge or the legendary army of the Burning Legion that was encircling them, and there was only one giant figureβa giant demon!
His body is taller than the current tallest lava giant lord of the fire elementals, Otuk, at least at least a head! The gigantic demon was covered in hideous golden armor, and those shoulder armor, belts, and gauntlets exuded evil green power; Where the armor was not covered and was exposed, was the blue-purple alternative skin and majestic body; Around his tall body, there were patches of misty mist that enveloped him, making him look unreal.
Anne knew that it was actually an anomaly caused by the other party's energy level being too high and interfering with the rules of the real world! And now, this huge giant, with two huge tentacles on his chin, is undoubtedly the great demon who came to this world, the great lord of the Burning Legion, and the right-hand man of Sargeras, the polluter, Akmund!
Actually, he came much earlier than Anne expected, and now, when the sun was about to sink into the horizon, the other party actually arrived!
In the original plan, Little Anne wanted to let the fire elemental army arrange an ambush formation after eliminating Stratholme's undead natural disaster, and let them burn Stratholme into a molten field, and then prepare to try to see if she could kill or scare away this big demon or something with the help of the domain bonus and the flame army.
But now, after she saw this Akmund with her own eyes, little Anne felt that the original ambush or something, it was estimated that it had no effect, the other party's energy level was too high, and the other party's body was filled with endless surging depraved energy, maybe they were about to come into contact with the gods, right? I'm afraid that it will be difficult for the fire elementals' low-level fire magic or swords to hurt each other, so how can they fight like this?
Or could she simply let those fire elementals who had the ability to regenerate in the Land of Flames rush up and run next to the great demon to blow themselves up? Maybe there's still a chance to kill the other party? What if, this Akmund is really stupid enough to let her blow up without dodging?
While Anne was staring at the Great Demon and was thinking, beyond the burning city of Stratholme, the gigantic Polluter Akmund was also silently watching Anne. Now, he was silently looking at the little girl standing on top of a fairly intact section of the city wall, the powerful mage, the queen of the Flame Kingdom!
After watching for a while, Akmund finally saw something different: this little girl didn't seem to have the disgusting aura of those Titan transformations, could it be ...... She's not native to the world of Azeroth? If that's the case, perhaps... Can they Burning Legion reach some consensus with the other party, so as to directly absorb the other party's forces?
You must know that in addition to fighting against the Void Lord in the universe and destroying the worlds infected by evil seeds, the Burning Legion also has another very important business, that is: when you see a force with the right conditions and acceptable strength, try to win over or entice the other party to join the Burning Legion!
Otherwise, with the Burning Legion fighting and killing all day long in the universe, no amount of troops will be enough for them to bring disaster. If there were no new powerful members to join, after so many years of fighting and making enemies everywhere, maybe their Burning Legion would have died on their own, right?
So, when Akmund was here in Stratholme, he saw these powerful fire elementals and their flame queen, who didn't seem to belong to the natives of Azeroth. He thought about it for a moment, and soon made up his mind, and he decided not to use force against the other party for now, but to try it first and see if he could recruit the other party, just like Sargeras had done when he faced their Eredas.
"Hehehe...... Very good! Fire Elementals, I have seen your powerful combat power, and I am very satisfied with it! So...... I have decided now that I will not give any thought about you taking down this city and killing all my skeletons and some stupid bug. β
Akmund was standing on the edge of the moat outside Stratholme, his eyes that also radiated green magic energy were looking down coldly at the burning city, and of course, some little demigod girl standing at the head of the city!
For these powerful fire elemental armies, Akmund was very satisfied, compared to those useless bone frames, these powerful elemental creatures with flames all over their bodies were really too much for his appetite!
Perhaps, he could take them under his command and then use his evil power to corrupt them all and assimilate them all into a part of the Burning Legion? In that case, they might become even more powerful because of it, right? Of course, there must be that little demigod girl who is like this, and when she enters the Burning Legion, she can be the leader of the legion alone.
"As compensation for your annihilation of these motley armies and two little bugs of mine, I ask of you, you must surrender unconditionally to me, serve me and join our Burning Legion. In that case, I will be generous enough to let you go, do you think...... How about this suggestion? β
After finishing speaking, Akmund didn't forget to glance at the other side, and he didn't know which lowly fire elemental dragged it out and nailed it to the body of the Dreaddemon King on the wall that had not completely broken and collapsed. From the burnt body and the dead head, Akmund quickly recognized the idiot, as if it were... What is it called from Warimas? They've all died twice in the world of Azeroth so far, Nasrezm, right? Sure enough, it's a bunch of stupid bugs that don't look good!
"Na...... It's not impossible to join your Burning Legion, but ...... If I did, would it do me any good? β
Anne stared at each other vigilantly and spoke loudly, trying her best to deal with the great demon called Akmund on the bright side; While privately using a psychic link to step up a private chat with Tibbs, planning, the two of them are trying to figure out how to deal with this seemingly unbeatable one, if it does, maybe... Possible... It's still a big bad guy who can't be beaten!
Feed! Tell me now, Tibbs, what are we going to do? Need to run away? This man is so much stronger than us!
Encountering such an enemy made Anne a little crazy, the difference between the two sides is a bit big, and the fight can't end, if it weren't for the fact that she still has an army of 50,000 fire elements here, and it seems that there is a little hope, maybe she would have run away a long time ago, right?
Or...... Do you want to take advantage of the fact that he is alone now, and let those fire elementals rush out and kill him?
- Tibbs thinks his idea seems plausible.
The big man on the other side is very strong, whether it is his size or energy strength level, if he is not allowed to run alone, he can almost crush Anne and its Tiebs. However, there is only one person on the other side now, and he is not alone on his side, there are still more than 50,000 fire elements in the city.
Even if the other party can finally clean up the 50,000 fire elements, how much power will it have left in the end? At that time, maybe your side will really have a chance to win? If you can't kill him, you can get rid of him, right?
Anyway, Tiebs thinks so, this big demon in front of him definitely has a problem with his brain, and he actually came here alone like this, is it really good to do this? Or did he think that when he came here, there were still more than 100,000 undead disasters to support him? If that's the case, he can be disappointed now, because the army of those undead scourge has been burned by their fire elementals until now, and even the ashes are almost gone!
"Our great Burning Legion is absolutely beyond your expectations, and we are more powerful than you can ever imagine! Over the course of tens of thousands of years, we have destroyed and conquered countless worlds, and we have the power to be proud of everything! So, little girl, join us and you can be given endless power...... Make you stronger! Incredibly powerful! What do you think, what about this condition? β
When demons tempt mortals to fall, they come and go in a few simple and effective ways. However, it usually starts with the promise of power, and Akmund is certainly no exception! He didn't know that Anne was secretly trying to deal with her bear Tiebs, and he thought that the other party's will was really shaken!
Back then, Akmund and Kil'Gardan, along with the prophet Veron, were the three Eredar chieftains of the planet Argus, about twenty-five thousand years after the establishment of the Dark Gate in the present world of Azeroth, when Sargeras tempted them with great power.
Immediately, he and Kilgardan ignored the strong opposition of the prophet Velon, and resolutely led their people to swear allegiance to Sargeras, and in the end, they obtained the unimaginably powerful power from the other party, that is, evil power!
It's a pity that the original Veron, the fool, didn't agree to Sargeras's favorable conditions, and brazenly led some of the Eredas to rebel......
Why doesn't he want to think about it? At the beginning, the Dark Titan Sargeras had already descended on the planet Argus, and in the case of the pressure of the army, they Eredas dared to say a word, maybe Sargeras was annoyed and angry, and directly smashed the planet of Argus, right? If he really refused at that time, the world of Argus would have been wiped out by other people's families a long time ago, where could he still have the status of Akmund now?
is the so-called person who knows the times as Junjie, why was Wei Lun so stupid at that time? In Akmund's opinion, Naveron's behavior was really a betrayal of Ereda! It was the other party who caused the split in Ereda, and it was Akmund who could never forgive, and he once swore that he would definitely catch him!
That Wei Lun still kept saying that the evil power made him fear and disgust, and he was not optimistic about the future of this evil force? What a joke about this! In Akmund's view, where is the difference between evil and good in power? Power is power, and that's it!
What was wrong with him, Akmund and Kilgardan, who led the Eredas to join the Burning Legion, to preserve their strength and be transformed by evil powers? Didn't he go to those Holy Light Batteries and be assimilated into Holy Light creatures? It's those so-called draenei! Why is it that what he Velun did was right, and he and Kilgardan were wrong?
Besides, what did the Naru creatures he had taken refuge with besides wandering around the universe all day long and digging into the walls of the Burning Legion? And what about the Burning Legion? But he has been fighting against the Void Lord at the forefront of the battle!
They even kept saying that they were going to protect lives, and to spread the holy light and hope of Raushzi, didn't they know that the worlds destroyed by the Burning Legion were all corrupted and soaked by the evil seeds cast by the Void Lord? If they weren't destroyed sooner, who would destroy them once the Star Soul grew up and became a powerful mutated Dark Titan controlled by the Void Lord?
Including the world of Azeroth in front of you, lo and behold, on this planet, those ancient gods have corroded the entire planet to the point that the prison of the ancient gods built by their Titans is a complete joke! Look at it, even the Titans' creations have been thoroughly corrupted by the Flesh Curse! At this point, if we don't quickly destroy all of Azeroth and destroy all living beings, who will fight against the Void Lord when Azeroth, the most powerful star soul, is fully assembled and successfully corrupted?
At that time, everything in the universe will be swallowed up by the void, and everything will cease to exist! At that time, he will be happy? Or was he counting on those Naru to fight the Void? That's even more of a joke, those holy light batteries, he Akmund can almost crush them with his bare hands, what do they use to fight?
And what is most needed to achieve the goal of confronting the Void? Those Naru slogans? No! Definitely not! Against those who exist, it is by strength! Only an infinite force can accomplish the Burning Legion's ultimate goal - to destroy the Void and destroy all the evil Dark Titans that have been corrupted and may be born!
You must know that if the power of the Void does succeed in corrupting Azeroth, the most powerful of the nascent Titans, it will awaken as an unspeakable pillar of dark creatures, and the entire Senro, and indeed the entire Pantheon, will be powerless to resist it.
At that time, the Twisted Titan will consume all matter and energy in the universe, so that everything that exists will be subjugated to the will of the Void Lord, and then it will be too late!
Therefore, when Akmund began to tempt this powerful demigod girl, the first thing that came to mind was the powerful power that they had always been proud of in the Burning Legion.
As everyone knows, in the eyes of this little girl, the power of his Akmund's mouth or something, maybe...... Haven't had a lollipop as tempting yet, right?
"Huh? Robust... Strength? β
Little Anne tilted her head and blinked her eyes and thought about it, the kind of thing that the other party said didn't seem to be what she wanted. As for the strength or something, it's enough...... Why do you want so much? Is this weirdo so boring that he pursues these? No wonder, he looks like he's been distorted!
"This is not good! Strength or something...... I don't like it! Besides, I'm only eight years old this year, and as you can see, I'm already a demigod now! By the time I'm like you, when I'm tens of thousands of years old, I'll definitely be stronger than you! So, this condition is not very good, or do you want to change another one? β
Tibbs, how's it going? Have you thought of any good ideas? Anne continued to talk to the archdemon as she quickly continued to urge Tibbs.
Or...... You just took advantage of the other party's inattention, forcibly opened the spatial passage with a space gem, and banished him from a random dimensional world? - This method Tibbs thinks is more reliable.
The power level of this great demon Akmund in front of him is so high, look at him, the power is so substantial that he can interfere with reality! Then, the other party will definitely be hostile and oppressed by the rules of the world, right? It is said that there is also a defense mechanism left by the Titans, so if Little Anne takes advantage of the other party's inattention and throws the gem out to open a large space door, the other party will have a high chance of being directly expelled by the will of the world.
No way! This is absolutely not possible! PASSοΌ Change one! - Anne didn't think about it, and directly rejected Tibbs's offer.
You know, if she still wants to go home, this unreliable space gem may be her only hope, how can she just casually throw it out and use it as a weapon? What if the other party snatches it? Or what if it breaks? Therefore, for this matter, little Annie will never agree, the space gem is her little heart, the root of her life, don't even mention ideas like this in the future!
Besides, since the Great Demon can be summoned to this world, what's the use of you banishing it again? Maybe you've just driven them away with your front foot, and they've been summoned back with your back foot? In the end, you can only stare dryly? Therefore, this method is absolutely not possible, the risk is too great, and little Anne definitely can't afford the serious consequences of losing the space gem!
Once the space gem is lost because of this, maybe without the Burning Legion doing anything, she Annie will directly explode and destroy this planet of Azeroth in one step to vent her anger or something! Like, for example, burning the entire planet or something......
"Hmm......"
After listening to the little girl's words, the corners of Akmund's mouth twitched slightly, and he silently stared at the other party for a while, and began to analyze the other party's ability.
Really...... Akmund found that as she said, the other party was indeed an eight-year-old girl! This result surprised Akmund, this Nima had only grown like this at the age of eight, how did she come to be a demigod? Do you want to let others live? If she was really allowed to live for another 10,000 years, would she really be able to grab Sargeras's most powerful dark titan with her bare hands, press him to the ground and beat her violently?
Akmund sighed slightly, he suddenly felt that his own tens of thousands of years of life were probably a little in vain! His mind was hit with more than 10,000 damage points at this time!
Think about it, before he came into contact with Sargeras and the Burning Legion, he had been in various franchises on the planet Argus for countless years before he became one of the three leaders of Ereda, and at that time, his Akmund's power was only about a demigod, right? Not even as good as the little girl in front of you?
It wasn't until he got to the back that he swore allegiance at the feet of Sargeras in spite of his face, and after absorbing countless evil powers, he barely reached the current energy level.
If you compare it according to the timeliness and the little girl in front of you...... It's true that his own achievements are a bit off the table, right? Tut! Well, he barely held back the jealousy in his heart and suppressed the urge to punch the little girl to death. He decided to change to another tempting condition, after all, this little girl seemed to have a lot of value in tempting her to fall, once she got her, a little cultivation would definitely be of great benefit to the cause of the Burning Legion!
"The soldiers of our Burning Legion are innumerable, spread throughout the universe! If you don't want power now, we can give you unimaginable power and status, and you can dominate millions of powerful demons and let you lead them into battle to dominate one universe! β
"What do you think? Believe me, little girl, this world is far bigger than you can imagine, and this planet Azeroth is just a very inconspicuous speck of dust in the vast universe......"
In Akmund's view, this condition is not unfavorable.
See, his opening is a position above the Grand Commander of the Burning Legion, which was the same when he Akmund defected to Sargeras. This must prove his sincerity, right?
If it weren't for the fact that this little girl really has the value of heavy cultivation, he would never have opened his mouth to provide such outrageous conditions! Now, the career of their Burning Legion is on the right track, and if the newcomers want to take the position, they still have to slowly improve their qualifications and make meritorious achievements.
"Cut... This condition is even worse! Don't you know? I'm already the queen of the fire elementals now, look at my flame army, like this, in my flame territory, they all have at least hundreds of millions! β
Little Anne looked at the big man Akmund with disdain, and her face was full of contempt.
Now that she herself is the queen of the entire land of flames, if it weren't for the fact that she really didn't have so much energy to summon them all, where would she still be here to talk nonsense to him Akmund?
He even wants to take a position of commander to buy himself? He must be thinking too much! Besides, where is the leader of the Burning Legion who has the queen of the Flame Kingdom who listens domineering? Moreover, little Annie also felt that her fire elemental legion would not necessarily be worse than their demon legion!
ββ¦β¦β
His second seemingly advantageous condition was despised by a little girl like this?
Akmund took several deep breaths before he resisted the intention of directly stepping forward and grabbing the other party and pinching him to death, it was not yet that time, because he seemed to have a condition that could buy the other party, he heard those demons under his hands say that this method was particularly effective for the mortal race, so he decided to try again.
"Well, if you don't want power and power, then... We Burning Legion can also give you an infinite lifespan, so that you can enjoy the eternity of life, get rid of the shackles of death, shine with the sun and the moon, and be with the universe......"
"Stop, stop! Not to mention this! Eternal life or something, I really don't want it! β
Anne hurriedly interrupted the other party's words, why is the condition he proposed not as good as one? It looks like she doesn't have any sincerity! Fortunately, she didn't really intend to give in to the other party, otherwise, she would definitely be by these conditions that were worse than the other!
"Because now, people have actually gained eternal life, not long ago, a bronze dragon in charge of time told me, as long as I don't want to die, I can live like this!"
Anne silently added in her heart, but she couldn't grow any longer...... This made her a little annoyed for the time being, just a little.
"Hahaha! Very good! Very good! Little girl! You've managed to anger me now! Before my wrath falls, I have decided to give you one last chance, and we will give you everything you want if you are willing to submit to our Burning Legion! Say, what exactly do you want? β
After all the unstoppable killer tactics that had failed to seduce mortals when the demons had tempted mortals, Akmund began to laugh out loud in annoyance.
He plans to give the other party one last chance, if she dares to say half a word again, then start fighting directly! When the time comes, destroy this little girl, and then use the evil energy crystal to corrupt her and reincarnate, and in the end, she can also be used by the legion, but it may lose the space for growth.
"Huh! Can I really ask for anything? β
Originally, Anne wanted to refuse directly, but now, she and Tiebs have thought of a good way to deal with this big demon, and now she has completely stopped instigating him. But now, the other party actually said that she asked for it to be mentioned casually? If that's the case, she does have a wish that she wants to fulfill!
ββ¦β¦β
Akmund didn't speak again, he was silent, staring at little Anne standing on that section of the city wall with his evil eyes, and signaled her with his eyes, if he had something to say, he said it quickly, and if he had the conditions, he quickly mentioned it, because his patience was about to run out!
"Then I'm going to say, huh? Do I really want to say it? β
After seeing that the other party could really make her own conditions, Anne finally said what she had always wanted, but could not achieve anyway.
"As long as you can help me find my way home, help me find a way to open the portal to the world of Valoran, in that case, even if you let me give you all my army of flames to your Burning Legion, it's not impossible!"
That's what Anne wants most, and she doesn't care about anything else!
As long as the other party can let her find a way to go back to the Valoran Continent, what if all these fire elements are given to them to the Burning Legion? Anyway, it was something she snatched, and she didn't feel very distressed when she gave it away.
As for whether the world of Azeroth will be destroyed because of this...... What's her business? Their people in Azeroth can't resist the invasion of the Burning Legion, so do they blame her?
Anyway, what little Anne wants most now is to go home! As long as the other party can give a specific coordinate of the Valoran world, the flame army will be handed over immediately! How's that, great value, right?
ββ¦β¦β
At this moment, Akmund wanted to scold a mother!
You know, the universe is so big, where is he going to find a world called Valoran for this little girl? He had never heard of the word Valoran before! Who knows if it's the other party's excuse? Or is it made up by the other party in order to perfunctory him? So, he's not going to stall any longer.
"It seems that you inferior creatures are still stubborn after all...... So, it's time to take the wrath of the Burning Legion! β
Akmund's hands began to channel the spell, the green glow began to converge on his hands, and now that the negotiations had failed, and the other party had rejected all his sincerity, it was time for him to vent his anger!
"Humph! Fight and fight, who is afraid of whom? You're alone right now! And we, there is a whole Flame Legion! β
Seeing that the other party was ready to do it directly, of course Anne would not have stage fright. Now, there are a lot of people here, and the molten fire realm has also been burned out by the fire elementals, plus the killer plan she had privately discussed with Tibbs before, she will definitely not be cowardly now!
The fiery arcane light began to pour out wildly within her body, and Anne was now going to strike with all her might, without holding back.
A huge red mystical magic array appeared at her feet, and at the same time, Anne slowly floated, covered in flames, and her hair began to be blown by the surging energy to spread out in all directions, and along with her pupils, they soon turned red like flames.
Seeing that Her Majesty was planning to make a move, the fire elemental army that had been waiting in Stratholme immediately rushed to the city gate under the order of the fire demon chief Shaan Knox. Now, they are ready to fight the enemy again, together with their own Queen Anne, more than 50,000 people fight each other, no matter how strong the opponent is, it still looks like there is a great chance of winning!
At the same time, Anne also mobilized the molten field burned by the fire elementals, overlapping into her own fire field, after opening her own demigod domain, she can make her subsequent fire magic casting speed, spell strength, and mana recovery speed can get nearly 100% super bonus, and at the same time, it can also make any spell can obtain the effect of spells, which can greatly narrow the gap between the strength of the two sides!
In game parlance, it is: a 100% increase in spell power; Spell speed is increased by 100%; Mana regeneration rate increased by 100%; Spell attacks are always critical; And after the spell hits, it can continue to scorch the enemy!
"Oh? Who told you that I was just one man? β
Akmund snorted coldly, and raised the evil spell he had already guided, and in the next moment, after he finished casting the spell, in the sky, above the sky dyed red by Anne's molten field, countless green meteorites, almost thousands, they were so dense, dragging a long trajectory, and smashed down fiercely on the city of Stratholme in front of them......
