Chapter 62: The Roar of the Beheaded Dragon (1)
"Fire!"
A brass-bearded dwarf with a long braided beard wearing an alliance legion's captain-level black iron helmet shouted loudly with a warhammer held aloft.
Under his command, hundreds of dwarven cannons with huge calibers and barrel lengths of nearly ten meters, from a distance of nearly two kilometers, roared towards the Dragon's Roar Walled City in the Grimbaatar region.
Unlike the six human nations in the alliance that were barren in communication with each other because Karen of the Holy Arathor Empire was called emperor, thanks to the good impression left by the rescue of the Blackstone Fortress by the army of the Holy Legion, the relationship between Ironforge and the Holy Arathor Empire has always been good.
As a result, some of the dwarven gunpowder weapons of the Holy Arathso Empire's new ordnance ideas have been acquired at a very rapid rate of progress in recent years.
"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"
The bursting flames were sandwiched with terrifying shockwaves, blasting out one large crater after another on the walls of the Orc Dragon Roar Walled City, and the violent force shrouded most of the entire city wall in smoke and dust.
But unfortunately, this kind of fierce attack by a German artillery regiment comparable to the Messiah's previous life during World War II did not work well in this magical world.
The remnants of the tribe that lost the demigod sorcerer Gul'dan have not yet found a way to fully control the Red Dragon Legion.
However, relying on the powerful effect of the "Demon Souls", under the coercion of the life of the Red Dragon Queen Alexstasa, the Greenskins still let the Red Dragon Legion, who was unwilling to fight for them head-on, enchant a large number of dragon protection spells in the sky and walls of their towns.
This is the third day that the Alliance army has besieged the Dragonroar Fortress, and the orcs who are already familiar with the human attack routine, the city walls are empty, and the large craters that have been blasted out by cannonballs are still surrounded by a faint yellow light of the earth element, slowly returning to their original state.
In the sky of the fortress, there are countless chaotic whirlwind barriers enchanted with powerful wind spells, which is why the dwarven cannons cannot directly bombard the inner city, and the human griffin troops cannot directly use air raids to attack.
Lieutenant General of the Alliance, one of the most powerful paladins in the Order of the Silver Hand, and Lieutenant General Tulayan, who served as the lieutenant of the commander of Lothar during the Battle of Lordaeron, was the supreme commander of this campaign.
He ordered the dwarven cannon to bombard for nearly an hour before stopping.
In fact, these bombardments were not intended to eliminate a few orc warriors, but to destroy as many traps and defensive spells as possible on the walls of the orc fortress.
Then, straddle the back of a brown-feathered, majestic griffon, draw his sword and swing it at the Dragonroar Fortress, shouting.
"Our warriors, forward!"
"For the Alliance!"
The fully prepared Alliance Legion surrounded the ladder vehicles and attacked the Dragon Roar City Fortress all over the mountain.
"For the Alliance!"
The shouts of the warriors shook the earth.
For this campaign, the entire alliance mobilized nearly 1.2 million huge ordinary legions, and all the alliance soldiers were highly motivated and raised their shields.
Ironically, this is the first time since the invasion of the Dark Gate that the Dark Gate was opened, and the orc army faced an absolute disadvantage in numbers, and the orcs defending in the Dragonroar City Fortress may only be about 300,000.
"Click!" "Click!" "Click!"
Countless wide wooden ladders, carried strong winds from the vehicles escorted by the soldiers' phalanx, catapulted out, and stuck tightly between the gaps at the top of the city wall.
"For the sake of the Alliance, kill!"
"Damn Greenskin, Uncle is here!"
"Raise your shield, attack!"
······
In addition to the dwarven shield warriors who stayed behind to protect the ladder vehicles, countless human soldiers shouted and charged towards the city walls with their weapons held high.
And on the city wall, as the dwarven cannon stopped attacking, and teams of powerful orc warriors appeared, fearlessly facing the human soldiers······
As ordinary armies engage in fierce battles, more crucial battles between the strong unfold unfold.
One after another, human powerhouses in thick armor jumped up from the ground and jumped directly onto the city wall to face off against the warrior chiefs among the orcs.
Although the orcs were defeated in the Battle of Lordaeron, and at least ninety percent of the millions of troops were killed or captured by the Alliance, but that was for ordinary orc warriors.
If the silver-rank chieftain-level orc powerhouses were bent on escaping, although it was very difficult in that high environment, it was not something that could not be done, so at least half of the orc chieftain powerhouses successfully escaped back to the Dragonroar City Fortress in the Grimbaatar region.
In this battle, in terms of the strong fighting generals, in the face of the alliance that did not give it all its might, the tribe was not at a disadvantage for the time being.
Dangerous spells such as flame, frost, and thunder were in the hands of nearly a thousand violet mages of the alliance mage group, bombarding the whirlwind spell barrier above the Dragon Roar City, but I don't know how many red dragons these orcs coerced to build this barrier, and they bombarded it for 3 days in a row, and it didn't seem to be very effective.
In the sky, the colorful spell collision emitted brilliant light, and on the walls of the ground, countless orcs and humans fought bloodily.
Throughout the battlefield, orc war drums and human horns roared into each other, composing a brave music of blood and muscle······
——————————————
Uther Lightbringer, the head of the Silver Hand Knights, who had just attended the funeral of Archbishop Alonsos Fao, stood in the command camp at the rear of the human army.
"According to your information, the reason why the Guardian Red Dragons are helping the orcs."
"It's because the Red Dragon Queen, Alexstasa, was captured by the Chief Shaman of the Dragonroar Clan, Necrus Cruster."
Holding the powerful weapon "Hammer of Sanctions" in one hand and a parchment letter engraved with the emblem of the High Councillor of Dalaran in the other, he asked the two young men in front of him.
No, this red-haired mage is indeed a young man, but another High Elf girl, well, can only be said to be a young man when she came to the High Elf race!
The world after the Messiah's change has been very different, under the nose of the Violet Sage, Ronto would rather not have the opportunity to engage in personal heroism anymore, and jointly declare that the dwarven rebels have destroyed the demon souls, and the dwarven kings of this world have not been broken by the tribe at all! He can only honestly complete the reconnaissance mission.
"Yes, honorable General Uther."
Ronin replied solemnly after making a mage salute to Uther.
"Councilor Crassus told me that you were going to bring your wife to our assault?"
Uther, the "leftover knight" who has been single for decades, turned sideways and squinted at the little couple of humans and high elves who were still holding the sales in front of him, showing affection, and subconsciously his right eyelid jumped slightly.
His big hand holding the hammer tightened, and he forcibly suppressed the protruding urge in his heart, and immediately smashed the pair of affectionate creatures in front of him to death with a hammer, and asked indifferently.
"That's right, the Red Dragon Queen was imprisoned by Necrus in the very center of the Dragonroar Fortress."
"We'll have to go through 3 chieftain guards and 2 shaman guards to get there."
The red-haired life winner, who didn't know that he was only a thin line away from "death", carefully explained to the seemingly amiable elder in front of him.
"And my wife, Winlessa Windranger, and I have studied the layout of the city many times since our last expedition, and we are very familiar with it."
"My mentor thinks I'm going to be able to help a lot!"
And secretly, he didn't hold the other hand with Wen Leisa, and subconsciously pinched a black scale in the palm of his hand.
His mentor, Crassus, had ordered him to participate in this operation and obtain the "Demon Soul" before this time, and use this arrow-like scale to insert it into the very center of the "Demon Soul".
"Okay! I have heard of the exploits of you and your wife from the commander of the last reconnaissance, Commander Lothar. ”
Uther nodded, agreeing with Ronin's statement, the young mage in front of him and his person had both been promoted to the hero rank shortly after the last operation, and were able to participate in their next mission.
Although he didn't know why this dangerous decapitation operation to storm the core of the Dragon's Roar Fortress, Crassus must let such a young and promising disciple participate.
This is not the last time it was not dangerous, in a sense, it is just a group of "second-generation children" of the alliance, and the investigation operation of brushing up on meritorious deeds is to truly sacrifice life and forget death, and even he can't guarantee that he can escape the task of beheading with a sharp knife!
"I agree with you and your wife joining."
But since they asked for it, and the teacher agreed, he didn't stop it, Uther said calmly.
As Luo Ning said, if he really knew enough about the information on the layout in Dragon Roar City, maybe he could really help a lot.
"Master Ronin, Lady Winlessa, come with me!"
"The Decapitation Commando is in another camp, and you need to cooperate with our members in the assault battle."
Needless to say, the alliance armies from the outside world are still attacking head-on, creating suitable offensive opportunities for their future actions.
The paladin turned and led Roland and the others towards the other side of the command camp······
