Chapter 19: The Great Retreat
"We can't just retreat!" Luo Ning shouted at Qiuchen, "These demons can completely eat us away when we retreat, we must get rid of them!" ”
"Of course I do!" The death war horse paced back and forth, and Qiu Chen's irritable mood was also reflected on the war horse that had a heart with him, he knew how to pursue, knew how to destroy the enemy, but he really didn't know anything about retreating, he really hadn't encountered this kind of rout "We need the power of the mage"
"The Moon Guardian has done its best" Luo Ning shook his head helplessly, "Wizard Ereda's attack is too fierce, we just keep the energy ring on the soldier lineup is already very laborious" In order to protect the soldiers from the evil spells of Wizard Ereda, a large energy ring has been floating above the military formation, but now, the energy ring looms, as if it will disappear in the next second
"So we need to make a break ......" Crassus walked towards Autumn Dust and Ronin, the old mage's emaciated face showing cold and resolute "Let them stop covering the soldiers, use spells to drag the Burning Legion in their footsteps, and create time for retreat"
"But if you do that, the Wizard Ereda can easily kill these people, and the soldiers don't resist the vicious spells" Malfurion objected, knowing that the discussion of several people here could determine the next action, but he was unwilling to give up his kind
"There is nothing else we can do," Crassus calmly analyzed, "if we withdraw at this snail-crawling rate, more people will be killed!" ”
No matter how much Malfurion didn't want to hear it, Crassus told the truth. Demon guards slash around the elven army with their weapons, no matter who the enemy in front of them is, as long as they are within the attack range, they will slash at them. Wizards of Ereda, on the other hand, take time to cast spells, and while their spells are incredibly destructive, they are generally not as strong as their companions' weapons.
"Tell Illidan to let him do it with us with the Moon Guardian, and we'll be stronger," Crassus suggested
"He'll never listen to me, he'll never do that." Illidan's relationship with Malfurion seems to be getting stiffer
"I'll persuade him." Luo Ning took the initiative to say, "He should listen to me more." ”
Yes, Illidan has a lot of respect for this human, Ronin will use a lot of magic that he can't do, and Illidan almost thinks of him as a teacher.
"Then try to persuade him." Crassus said to Ronin.
After the mage walked away, Malfurion asked, "What can we do now?" ”
"Anything to stop them from approaching us." Crassus didn't give Malfurion any advice, everyone had their own spells, the old mage waved his hand at the battlefield, at first nothing changed, but then, a group of demons became short in the eyes of the crowd, and suddenly a swamp appeared under their feet, where the demons were struggling desperately. The troops in the back huddled together, trying to bypass somewhere else, and the whole unit was in disarray
Qiu Chen did not turn around to entangle the demon, but cast the resurrection of the necromancy, and the dead demon stood up again and began to fight towards their companions, because they were afraid that the elf would not be able to accept it, so they did not summon the elf corpse, otherwise the necromantic army could be more
In the eyes of Crassus and Ronin, these undead became so affectionate for the first time
But Qiuchen didn't notice the glint in Illidan's eyes when he saw his spell
Dangerous eyes
Malfurion reached out to the ground and asked for the help of the roots, and he carefully cast his magic, and more and thicker roots emerged from the ground, almost like a forest in the rear of the troops. The demons slashed at the hard vines, and even the hellfire slowed down.
At this time, a support army appeared in the south, which was the Nightblade Leopard Cavalry, which lifted the spirits of the elves. The force had been scattered in the previous battle, and Malfurion was on the verge of giving up their chances of survival, though they were a little smaller than he had remembered, but they were no sleat. Some of the Panthers had been wounded, and the knights were disorganized, but they still penetrated deep into the Burning Legion, buying precious time for their comrades who were retreating on foot.
"North!" Crassus suddenly shouted, "Watch the north!" ”
For a moment, Qiuchen also felt a hint of crisis, "Crassus, can you see what's going on over there?" ”
"No, the detection of the Eagle Eye is blocked, the enemy's study of spells is very deep, I am not his opponent" The magician stomped his foot in annoyance
"Maybe I can" The druid held out his hands to get some birds or insects to help. He found no birds, only a few insects. Even the most inconspicuous of animals knew that approaching a demon meant death, but the fleeing bugs he encountered agreed to be his eyes.
Soon, he spotted the enemy, the Burning Legion, which was even larger than he had previously seen, and they were rushing towards the elven soldiers. There were corpses everywhere, and the warriors all seemed to have encountered great fear before they died
Suddenly, Malfurion felt something grab a bug and pinch it to death, and he couldn't help but scream. Two of the worms that survived fled immediately, and the two who were left behind turned around to show him, who had almost fallen, what had killed the hapless bug
In the Demon Army, there is a dark-skinned man who stands out from the crowd. He walked among his children like a giant, calmly directing these terrible warriors to slaughter everywhere. Malfurion thinks he's an Eredar wizard, but seems to have a higher status than Ereda wizard, just as the latter has a higher status than Hellfire. Dressed in ornate shoulder armor, he observed the fierce battle with a rational and indifferent eye. With his right hand, he crushed the worm and scattered the remaining powder on the ground......
Just as Malfurion wanted to observe the demon more accurately, a huge thrust suddenly came from the side, and Qiuchen's voice reached his ears, "Death finger!" It's Akmund! ”
The red lightning struck the barrier that had just opened, and the power of the magic still made the anti-magic realm vibrate at any moment, as if it would break at any moment, and Malfurion struggled to keep himself from being shaken off the outside of the realm, and he reached out and touched the rock
Something deep in the earth's crust is activated. Rocks, the oldest and most tenacious form of life, have awakened from their eternal slumber. Nothing was more important to the rocks than sleep, and as a result, they initially resented Malfurion. However, the druids quickly turned their attention to what the Burning Legion had done, especially the devastated land
In an instant, the earth was furious, and the rocks he had awakened had discovered a terrible truth - even the earth itself could not escape the clutches of demons. Their innate evil magic can kill any life, no matter how deep they are buried underground, and there is no escape.
The earth roared, the ground under the demons' feet cracked, some demons fell into deep cracks and disappeared, and Akmund had to stop casting spells and release a green ball of energy to keep himself steady
"Already, Malfurion, Crassus, you put him on my horse, and we'll leave at once" Vaguely, the druid heard Qiuchen's voice, but he had not yet recovered from the mental impact of Akmund
At this moment, the sudden explosion made him hear only 'Kil'Gardan!' He fainted completely, and his last thought before losing consciousness was to hope that everyone would be able to evacuate the battlefield
