Chapter 585: Assault on the lower level of the fortress
Northrend Continent, Icecrown Glacier Region, Icecrown Fortress.
With a piercing grinding and roar, the incomparably heavy iron gate of the Icecrown Fortress was forced open slowly.
That's right, it was forcibly broken by the kind of goblin engineering product called "Gate Ripper".
The "Gate Ripper" is an engineering creation, to put it bluntly, a high-powered engine that mixes large arcane crystals with steam-powered technology, and through two levers with strong suction power and the power generated by the engine, the tightly closed city gate is violently pried open.
Next, it is naturally the turn of the elite pioneer death squad to show their talents.
The warriors of Azeroth skillfully followed the countless rehearsals they had previously practiced in the Silver and White League camps, passing through the Iron Gate of Saron, penetrating the interior of the fortress, and fighting their way through the armies of mid- and high-ranking undead who continued to pour in from the inner part of the fortress.
As the headquarters of the Lich King, the Icecrown Fortress is naturally different from the undead natural disasters entrenched in it, and the lowest is also a mid-level undead, not at all the expendable brainless cannon fodder that directly resurrects and then immediately pulls onto the battlefield.
The main forces of the Silver Crusade and the Scarlet Vanguard surrounded the Icecrown Fortress and held the attention of the fortress's elite undead forces outside the gates to ensure that the vanguard team faced as few enemies as possible.
The commander of the vanguard squad is Princess Kalia, and Gianna volunteers to serve as her lieutenant to assist in the battle.
At this moment, these two fierce girls are leading the elite soldiers and adventurers selected from various camps and forces, all the way to the depths of the fortress.
Where they were now was a long corridor behind entering the Icecrown Fortress, and a few dozen meters away, a wide hall could be faintly seen filled with a silvery white cold air.
The task of the advance team was to establish a front-line stronghold and a temporary defensive line inside that hall, and to advance the main frontal battlefield to the interior of the fortress, so that the undead scourge could not be defended, and at the same time, the main force that followed could have a foothold.
Princess Kalia held aloft the dark golden artifact sword "Dawn Morning Light", and the restored princess rushed to the front, slashing left and right at the undead beside her.
As the long sword continued to swing, the dark golden sword body also continued to emit sharp energy sword qi, like a killing aura and a homing missile, spreading in all directions, shooting at those enemies who could not be slashed by the long sword in the distance, and sending them a pile of smoking ashes on the spot.
"Dawn pronounces!"
The more and more courageous Kalia opened a big one, and in an instant, a huge arc-shaped divine power shock wave roared out, advancing forward like a bulldozer, instantly annihilating all the undead in its path.
Gianna, the super female mage, was closely following the middle of the advance team's line, she and the other mages were heavily protected, and at the moment they were wielding their staffs, controlling the fierce blizzard in front of the team to move forward, killing and injuring the incoming army of natural disasters in an area.
The closer you got to the hall in front of you, the more enemies poured in, as if the undead army that was fighting the Northern Expedition outside the fortress at the moment was just a partial division.
After suffering and losing a third of their comrades, the vanguard finally stepped into this vast dark hall as they wished, but the high-ranking undead here plunged them into a bitter battle again.
Seven or eight lichs hovered in mid-air, directing a large number of undead guards and crypt spiders to charge, while unleashing shadow and frost spells with high-ranking skeleton mages.
"Hold them off, or I won't have time to place the crystals!"
Princess Kalia unleashed a dawn judgment again, and a dark golden arc shockwave roared out from the Excalibur, and then moved towards the high-level undead in front of her like a steamroller, and the enemy immediately scrambled to dodge, no one would be stupid enough to resist the Titan divine power, and his face was not so big.
Therefore, Princess Kalia's ultimate move can only be dodged and cannot be resisted, and if she resists, she will die.
"Doing ... ”
Gritting her teeth in the rear, Gianna joined forces with the mages of the vanguard to unleash a solid wall of ice, continuously pumping mana into it, barely keeping the ice wall from being shattered by the lichs.
A flesh giant staggered over to the ice wall, roared and raised his rotting fists and began slamming into the ice wall.
At that moment, a scarlet lightning bolt rushed through the corridor behind it, and the slender figure in the lightning jumped lightly onto the shoulder of a mage, and then kicked hard over the towering ice wall.
The mage brother who was trampled on immediately sighed and fell to the ground on the spot, touching the essence of porcelain.
Oops, yes, yes, you're going to die, you don't want to leave without five hundred gold coins today... Oh, the occasion is not right, I'm sorry for the occupational disease.
The demon knife girl fiercely swung out the long-stored scarlet demon knife, and slashed directly at the waist of the flesh giant with a surging demon qi.
The flesh giant was slashed in half as if it had been cut into tofu, and then broken in two, and its upper body fell heavily to the ground, still letting out an inexplicable roar.
Winianka immediately jumped onto the flesh giant's head and thrust her two-meter-long demon knife into the back of the giant's head.
The soul fire was immediately absorbed along the blade of the demon knife, further strengthening the demonic energy in the girl's body.
The dark clouds composed of scarlet demonic qi filled the hall, suppressing the silver-white icy cold air for a while, and as Venianca followed continuously, the demonic qi clouds turned into sharp energy tentacles, overwhelmingly attacking the surrounding undead.
Some of the demonic qi that was not absorbed by the demon sword condensed into a demonic resentful spirit, screaming and pounced on the former undead colleagues, or unleashed a series of resentful spirit arrows.
"Quick, put that crystal on yours!"
The girl turned to Princess Kalia and shouted, and then continued to ride a thousand, summoning demonic resentful spirits while using combo slashes to shuttle between the high-level undead.
Princess Kalia didn't hesitate, quickly found a suitable open platform, and began to install the "Artificial Small Naru Essence" from the Night Empire's Sleeping Tower Research Institute. ”
The Nightchildren scholars of the Holy Cult Army have come up with a lot of information and small progress about the Naru core by studying the two captured Naru.
While there is still no clue as to how a creature like Naru managed to grow light and darkness, at least many breakthroughs have been made in the area of light.
To put it simply, this small artificial holy light crystal is an extremely rough artificial Naru core, and it only has a single function of generating holy light energy, and the strength of the power is also unchangeable and adjustable, and the durability is not long, let alone evolve into a Naru.
Although the experiment failed, the Night Empire began to sell the artificial Naru essence to the outside world, and it was immediately warmly welcomed by paladin organizations around the world.
It's a good thing for them!
Buy one back and put it in your own church or camp Finally, it's simple, high-end atmosphere and grade, how much holy light you want, how much holy light you want, how much holy light you want, it's just beautiful.
And for the undead, this thing is also a nuclear bomb-level super killing weapon, as long as the crystal core has not been completely scrapped, the fierce holy light radiance emitted from it can instantly burn any undead into ashes.
Of course, this artificial light essence does not have the effect of healing allies.
This is not surprising, after all, the makers are a group of people who do not believe in the Holy Light at all, and with the mentality of purposefulness and creating war machines, they finally created these Holy Light Crystals, so the Holy Light contained in them is sharp and ruthless, and the brilliance of punishment is all that is the core.
The Draenei of the Naru and Veren factions have always wondered how the children of the Night in the Night Empire created such a completely unnatural and perverse light crystal that should not exist in the world.
Can the Holy Light still be mechanized and mass-produced?
Heaven and earth can be learned, those holy cult soldiers do not believe in the holy light, since they do not believe in the holy light, then how did they create this crystal that can produce the holy light?
Well, the scholars of the Night's Children are too lazy to explain.
The power of science, do you understand the feudal superstitions of you.
All in all, following the step-by-step instructions, Princess Kalia quickly completed the easy installation of the crystal.
The Artificial Naru Core Essence immediately floated from the base, rotating clockwise in mid-air.
Subsequently...
A circle of holy light energy spread out from the crystal like a tsunami, and accurately enveloped the entire hall according to the range set by Princess Kalia in advance.
The lich immediately retreated in horror, the ice shield around their bodies burning violently with the flames of the Holy Light of Punishment.
The lichs are smart enough to retreat quickly, but the other undead who are still in the hall aren't so smart.
They didn't take it seriously at first, and continued to attack Gianna's ice wall and the demon knife girl who wielded a scarlet knife and shuttled between them.
Soon, however, their bodies began to smoke, followed by golden flames.
The flames of punishment burned violently over their bodies.
After a while, there was no longer a single standing undead in the entire hall, and even the undead insects in the corners and crevices were all burned to ashes by the retributive light that permeated the hall, and they drifted away with the wind.
On the battlefield, only the demon sword girl Vinianka is walking around, absorbing the remaining soul fire.
Gianna withdrew the ice wall and gasped heavily.
The elites of the vanguard were stunned for a moment, and then let out excited cheers.
They successfully completed their mission, and the entrance hall of Icecrown Fortress was now theirs.
