Chapter 216: One Man Besieges the Dark City
The bigwigs looked at each other, and no one was the first to stand up and negotiate with Li Quan.
Thrall surrendered, and Li Quan did not ink, and was about to leave with a large group of younger brothers, continuing to march towards the Tirisfara woodland.
The prophet Velun finally couldn't help it, and spoke first to dissuade him: "Wait. ”
"Something?" Li Quan glanced at the old man.
"Hmm...... I still think it's better not to be pretentious. This matter has to be discussed in the long run, we need to gather the leaders of all ethnic groups and sit together to discuss it......" Prophet Velun thought about it and said, compared to before, his attitude was obviously much more polite.
"Nothing to negotiate." Li Quan's voice was faint, and he said categorically, "If you want to discuss, you can discuss it yourself, it has nothing to do with me." ”
"But ......"
"What, you're going to stop me too?" Li Quan turned his head and looked directly at the prophet Velun with a sharp gaze.
Prophet Velun's face was blue for a while, red for a while, and he didn't know how to take this sentence.
To say blocking? However, he considered himself to be inferior to several other faction leaders, and the power of the Holy Light was better at healing, not good at fighting. Even Sal may not be able to win, and now even Sal has lost to Li Quan, and Wei Lun is not confident that he can stop Li Quan.
But if you want to say that you don't stop it, the old man thinks it's not appropriate. He couldn't watch Li Quan really attack the Dark City, looking at Li Quan's posture, he believed that Li Quan was going to poke a hole in the sky. When the time comes, it will be a big fuss, but it will not end well.
As the leader of the Alliance's faction, Veron doesn't want to fight the Horde, but the Alliance is not ready to engage in an all-out war for the time being. The human king has just died, and the alliance is in turmoil. It is best to avoid extraneous complications now, and the best solution is to put a new king on the throne as soon as possible.
He was really afraid that Li Quan would make things bigger and directly pull both the alliance and the tribe into the battle group. From his point of view, Velen believes that he has done nothing wrong.
Malfurion apparently thought the same way. As faction leaders, they think things from a higher perspective. Perhaps the tragedy in Nanhai Town is indeed a great loss, but maintaining stability is a priority issue that they must consider at this moment.
Seeing that the prophet Wei Lun was a little unable to get off the stage by Li Quan's squeeze, Malfurion also persuaded Li Quan in a gentle tone: "The prophet is right, at present, we should not have disputes with the tribe. Like you, I am extremely sympathetic to the loss of Nanhai Town. But we must come to our senses and not let anger get carried away in our heads. Nature's way is about balance, and we shouldn't break that balance. ”
"Oh? Balance? Li Quan didn't laugh angrily when he heard this, glanced at the universe with an unkind gaze, and said: "Since it is good to pay attention to balance, it is good, the undead have destroyed Nanhai Town, and they must pay the price to balance the loss of human beings." I think it's especially fair to pay the price of the Undercity. ”
"Poof." Gianna couldn't help but sneer on the side, looking at Li Quan with disgust, Li Quan's ability to talk nonsense was not the first time she had seen it, he was like this when talking about business, but I didn't expect it to be so unreasonable at this time.
Malfurion and the prophet Velons were a little speechless. Encountering such an unreasonable guy like Li Quan and his surprisingly strong strength still gave them a headache. I don't know what to do.
Li Quan scoffed at the persuasion of the two. He still said the same thing, it is useless for anyone to persuade him, even if the king of heaven and Lao Tzu comes today, he can't change his route.
"Let's go." Li Quan mounted his horse and greeted Kanressad and Zening.
Ze Ning didn't say a word, and rode a horse to follow Li Quan. With a wry smile on his face, Kanressad followed without the slightest hesitation. He found that he seemed to be unable to beat his own student anymore.
Ignoring the dissuasion, Li Quan continued to rampage, pounced on the Tirisfal Glade with a crushing momentum.
Along the way, Li Quan commanded a large group of plants and demons, and quickly attacked several passes guarded by large groups of undead clans. The closer you get to the direction of the Undercity, the more heavily defended the undead sentry encountered. But under the absolute quantity and quality of Li Quan, he was destroyed almost without lasting ten minutes.
Several alliance bigwigs didn't leave, and they all followed behind Li Quan's menacing army far away. They couldn't persuade Li Quan, but they didn't want to see things develop out of control, so they had to follow carefully, and maybe they would have to pull down their old faces and come out as peacemakers when the time came.
Only Thrall went back through the portal to Orgrimmar that Gianna had opened. It's true that Sal is tired. He was heartbroken by the rise and fall of the tribe, and now he met a demon king of the world who couldn't reason and couldn't beat him, and it was useless for him to stay here, as he said, he could only let Sylvanas ask for more blessings.
The majestic black shadow of the Undercity was finally revealed ahead, and from a distance, there were large black spots gathering in the sky above the Undercity. Li Quan's eyes were sharp, and he saw that it was the bat rider who attacked Nanhai Town, and his voice snorted faintly, and the control plant army accelerated its forward speed.
After these warm-ups, he became more and more proficient in the use of plant fusion ability, and the number of plants that he could fuse his consciousness into at a time gradually increased from a dozen to the point where he could control hundreds of trees to act at the same time. At first, he still felt a little dizzy, but after getting familiar with this feeling, Li Quan only felt that it was extremely wonderful, as if the part of his body that had extended out was like hundreds of clones, each of which could move at will, and his actions were extremely flexible.
The combat power of the plants that was controlled by Li Quan personally with his divine sense possession was raised to a higher level. The tree people and the ancient trees of war with extremely high intelligence on the scene were stunned when they saw the great druid Malfurion, he never knew that the combat power of plants could be so strong, he very much wanted to know how Li Quan did it?
Li Quan's army finally arrived under the Dark City.
By the time the soldiers descended on the city, the number of this hybrid army of plants and demons doubled again. Li Quan did not hide his tree-planting skills, and showed them a tree-planting skill in front of these bigwigs. A casual sprinkling of seeds can grow dozens of ancient war trees and thousands of various tree people in a matter of moments.
Both the prophets Veron and Gianna looked at Malfurion, hoping that Malfurion would explain. Malfurion shook his head in a daze, he didn't understand, how to explain to these two?
Every time Li Quan showed the tip of the iceberg of his strength, it opened the eyes of these people. Except for the power used by Li Quan, they had never heard of anyone in Azeroth's history who had done it, and Li Quan's strength level had been reassessed again and again.
With the power of one person, controlling such a large number of summons, and daring to attack a main city with the power of one person, Malfurion and the prophet Velonne could not do it, and Gianna was ashamed of herself, but she thought more, and her face was very strange, because she remembered that there was a person who had done it, and how similar was the situation at that time? That man was her former lover, Arthas.
When Li Quan arrived, the Dark City had already received the news. All the levels in the Silverpine Forest were breached and lost contact, and only the batrider in the air brought the information back. When Li Quan's soldiers approached the city, the Dark City had already entered the highest state of alert, the city walls were full of undead archers, the gates of the city were closed, and a large number of undead soldiers were assembled and waiting in the city.
Outside the city, Li Quan had already asked the plant legion and the demons to line up according to the siege situation, he didn't know what the formation was, so he put the cannon fodder tree man at the front, which was mixed with a lot of gifts, yes, it was the Taliban who blew himself up with the tree man, and he looked no different from an ordinary tree man.
Behind the cannon fodder was a group of gigantic war trees, which stood as tall as the walls of the Undercity. At this moment, there are already hundreds of ancient war trees standing outside the city, and the undead clan in the dark city must have never seen so many ancient war trees in their lives.
Hiding behind the massive body of the War Ancient Tree, the Ranged Treants are responsible for dealing with the archers on the city walls. Li Quan was surrounded by a demon squad to protect his safety. Don't look at him swaggering to attack the city, the safety of his nickname still has to be put first. The reason why he dared to be so big was because he had an absolute grasp of his own strength.
"Start the siege!" Li Quan waved his hand and immediately ordered.
He wasn't going to give the Undercity much time to prepare. I'm here to siege the city, not to negotiate. Everything will be discussed after the first blow.
Li Quan's decisiveness made the alliance bigwigs watching from a distance sigh, it seems that today's big battle is inevitable, I can only hope that the result will not be too bad...... In fact, they still supported Li Quan's approach in their hearts, after all, the undead clan attacked Nanhai Town first, and caused such a tragedy, which shocked them. If it weren't for being in a high position, they would have to think more about it, and they would have to take into account the overall situation, and they wouldn't mind helping Li Quan teach the undead clan who were always dishonest together.
Dense meteor showers flew from the ranged Treant formation towards the walls of the Darkcity, and an army of thousands of ranged Treant casters sounded the horn of siege.
The Treant cannon fodder immediately began to charge, fearless to the closed gates of the Undercity. Hundreds of ancient war trees followed, and every step of their heavy bodies shook the surrounding ground.
Li Quan was not idle, he personally possessed some of the plants, and the target he chose was the position of those undead archers on the city wall.
At this moment, the place where he was standing was at least a thousand meters away from the walls of the Undercity, and he should normally be safe. But he didn't worry, this was Azeroth, and there were not no ruthless characters who could snipe from a long distance, and he knew that there was at least one in the Undercity. He didn't want to be killed by Sylvanas's arrow.
So he decided to tear down the walls first.
The Ancient War Trees had already arrived under the city walls, and they were a little taller than the city walls, unceremoniously wielding their thick arms like battering rams, and each Ancient War Tree could sweep away a group of undead archers on the city walls with a single sweep.
The cannon fodder tree man in charge of the charge rushed to the city wall, and many were shot and killed on the way, but Li Quan planted too many cannon fodder tree people, and after the stubble fell, it would come up like a tide. These cannon fodder treemen were mixed with self-detonating treemen, and all of them climbed the ancient war tree, trying to jump into the city by taking advantage of the height of the ancient war tree at the level of the city wall.
Because there were so many of them, the undead warriors on the city walls couldn't stop them, and many of the treants succeeded. So the Dark City began to sound one after another, and it was the sound of self-detonating tree people exploding in the city. Although I can't see the situation in the city, I can imagine that the undead must be uncomfortable.
At the beginning of this siege battle, the two sides were in a situation of unequal strength.
There were only two or three thousand people in the Dark City, and most of them were undead civilians. There are only a thousand undead soldiers who can actually fight. Counting the abominations that haven't come in handy yet, and so on.
On the other hand, on Li Quan's side, the total number of the Tree Man Legion under the city was three or four thousand. From time to time, Li Quan also replenished his troops as if he were hanging, and the number of troops increased more and more. After a while, I haven't seen it anymore.
If Sylvanas had been given a few days, perhaps she would have been able to gather a larger army to defend herself. But she never expected that the retaliatory strike would come so quickly, and the source direction was still a guy she didn't know.
Sylvanas didn't know Li Quan. At this moment, she was standing on a remote city tower, frowning and looking at the battle situation outside the city, the bow in her hand resting quietly on her lap.
She keenly found Li Quan, who was surrounded by a group of demons in the middle of the town opposite. She had never met Li Quan, and of course she couldn't contact Li Quan, who was actually a person she had heard about many times recently.
From the very beginning of the battle, the underworld shook violently, as if it was about to collapse at any moment, forcing her to be here. The situation on the scene worries her. She knew that if she continued like this, the Undercity would most likely fall.
The opposing leader must be eliminated! Sylvanas thought decisively.
Her eyes narrowed, and she grasped the hand of the black longbow. I saw that her figure disappeared in place in an instant, and the next moment she appeared in mid-air thousands of miles away. A terrible banshee's howl came out of her mouth, accompanied by one after another black smoke-like afterimages, she had come to Li Quan's side less than ten meters away in an instant, stretched her bow, took an arrow, and aimed at Li Quan in one go.
Li Quan was looking intently at the city wall when suddenly, he turned his head and smiled at Sylvanas.
"I've been waiting for you for a long time!"
Li Quan said something that made Sylvanas frightened. Her face was cold, and without hesitation, she let go and shot an arrow.
It was a black light!
The black-light arrow was so familiar to him. Should it be a coincidence?
Li Quan thought in his heart, and his movements were not slow at all. Hearing only a crisp sound of energy explosion, this black light-like arrow was easily blocked by a giant sword.
Li Quan's right hand grasped the Frost Sorrow at some point, and he was slowly raising his sword and pointing it at Sylvanas.
Sylvanas flipped from mid-air and landed on the ground, and when she looked up, her face was pale. She was landing in the center of Li Quan's military formation, and a large group of tree people had quickly surged up around her, surrounding her in the middle. Sylvanas stared at the sword in Li Quan's hand.
Frost Sorrow!
The alliance bigwigs who saw this scene from a distance were all shocked.
There is the messenger of ashes in front, and the sorrow of frost in the back. They couldn't figure it out anyway, how could these two swords appear in Li Quan's hands at the same time? Gianna is even more discolored, the sword of Arthas!
Sylvanas's face turned pale at the moment, for the sword brought back some painful memories of her past.
"You...... Who are you? ”
Li Quan casually plucked out his ears, he had heard this sentence no less than a hundred times. "The one who sent you back to the West." He thrust Frost Sorrow into the ground and said with his elbow hugged.
