Chapter 80: Crisis
Sirens sounded over the castle.
The sound of the fight finally alarmed the nearby patrols, and the alarm was sounded as soon as the orc invasion was discovered, and the terrible and screaming alarm sound was deafening, not only alarming the Burning Legion in the castle, but even spreading farther away, reaching the ears of the three clan camps.
Dragonhawks, gargoyles, and owl scouts fluttered in the sky at the same time to deliver messages to the headquarters, while inside the castle, warriors of the Burning Legion were swarming from all directions.
According to Shen Yi's original plan, if the Burning Legion did not notice after destroying the first energy generator, then the team would advance to the second energy generator until all three generators were destroyed.
On the other hand, if the Burning Legion discovers a surprise attack, it will be too late to exit the castle before the enemy has completed the assembly, and it will be worth it to note that even if only one energy generator is destroyed.
However, things are going in the worst direction - the energy generator has not been destroyed, the turret on the way back is still functional, and the Burning Legion has begun to arrive.
Guo Falong's restraint did make Shen Yi enter a dilemma.
Although he knew that killing Guo Falong was the best way, he couldn't do it after all.
As Chu Sheng said, if it was Hong Lang and they were in the situation at that time, it would be impossible for him to give up his brother.
Because of this, Shen Yi chose to "act with will".
Of course, the consequence of this choice is that a large number of Burning Legionnaires are swarming, and they are losing their best chance to escape.
The first to appear is a group of Voidwalkers, who float in the air like guardians, and their phasing talent makes them experts at teleportation, making them the fastest soldiers to arrive.
After seeing the elite Minotaur warriors who had lined up in front of him, one of the Void Elders led by him roared sharply: "It's the invaders of the Beast Clan, destroy them!"
"You are the real invaders!" Shen Yi, who had already rushed to the front line to command the defense, shot at the Void Elder, and at the moment when the bullet was about to hit, the elder's figure disappeared in an instant, and when he reappeared, he was already beside Shen Yi, raising his thin claws and grabbing Shen Yi is claws.
At the same time, a group of Voidwalkers pounced one after another, appearing directly behind the Minotaur defense line, and launched an attack on the shaman witch doctors. For the Void with the ability to move in phase, the so-called defense line is completely meaningless.
"Throw the net!" Shen Yi shouted as he fought against the Void Elder.
Although phase movement is a powerful teleportation ability, it can be used almost unlimitedly, but its own priority is low, and the wolf knight's nets and the cave king's cobwebs have a confinement effect on them.
At this moment, following Shen Yi's order, the five elite wolf cavalry who followed in threw their nets at the four Void Walkers and the Void Elder at the same time.
The Void Elder let out a scream, and its form disappeared again, as an Elder, its phase moved to the point where it could ignore the effect of the net.
However, the moment it moved out of the net, a light suddenly lit up in the sky. The Void Elder only had time to look up when he saw a blood-bright sword light slashing head-on.
"Carlos!" Before the Void Elder could make a sound, he was split in half by Carlos's sword, and the sword continued to grow, killing another Voidwalker as well.
The Voidwalker troops that rushed into the formation suffered heavy losses in an instant, but although the adventurers killed quickly, the follow-up troops of the Burning Legion arrived faster.
While the Voidwalker squad was still wrestling with the adventurers, two more forces arrivedβthe Evil Rambler and the Raging Beast.
The strength of the Burning Legion is roughly composed of guards, Eredar, void, demons, cerberus, banshees, hellfires, and some soldiers of other races who have been tainted.
There are many classifications under each class, such as the guard class is divided into Doom Guard, Destruction Guard, Demon Guard, etc., there are lords among demons, blood demons, Void Walkers in the Void, Void Elders, Void Dragons, and so on.
The Wicked Rambler and the Raging Beast are one of the Cerberus classes, dog-like beasts with fangs and claws, swift and fierce in attack. However, the most headache for them is their natural ability, mana burning.
Although the mana burning performance from the Cerberus clan is far less powerful than that of the Demon Hunters, even if each evil walker only absorbs ten spirits, it is enough for adventurers to have a headache and fear.
Therefore, in the face of such an opponent, the best way is to be dealt with by orc soldiers.
A group of minotaurs quickly rose to the oncoming evil ramblers, their giant trees swinging wildly, unleashing a wave of force.
The orc soldiers who can join the assault team are also at the lowest elite level. They are not as good at evasion and value life as adventurers, but they are therefore more suitable for bloody and brutal battlefields, and are better at group combat. The Minotaurs' innate smashing skills make them more comfortable in group battles, and the more they are, the more powerful they are.
At this moment, as the twenty elite minotaur warriors took turns attacking, the smashing skills appeared one after another, and countless auras exploded at the feet of the Cerberus, bringing out a large number of flesh and blood fragments.
The Minotaur warriors roared with excitement as they entered a frenzied battle frenzy, and with the blessing of the shaman's bloodthirsty spirit, they frantically attacked every target who dared to get close.
However, the number of soldiers from the Burning Legion is increasing.
First, a team of blood demons appeared, and these guys' natural split attacks are also powerful abilities that are good at group combat, and they are the main combat class in the melee force of the Burning Legion. Then there is a team of Agony Maidens, whose screaming curses can effectively weaken the enemy's combat power, and then a team of Hellfire, whose sacrificial talents are also powerful weapons that can inflict massive damage on enemies.
If it weren't for the narrow terrain that limited the Burning Legion's large force to charge, the assault team would have been completely submerged at this time. Even so, around the location of the energy generator, the Burning Legion has blocked this place densely, and the water is impassable.
"One minute left. Shen Yi looked at the time: "I hope it can be faster over there." β
The Burning Legion's reinforcements were very fast, and it only took a minute and a half to completely surround the place. A large number of Burning Legions blocked the main roads leading to the city gates, and the sky was filled with flying classes such as Void Walkers and Void Dragons, and follow-up reinforcements were still increasing.
If this continues, it is probably impossible for the assault team to rush out of Hygar Castle on their own, but at the same time as making the decision, Shen Yi had already used the intercom to inform the Prophet Girono, the leader of the beast clan who stayed on the hillside, that he should have already mobilized troops to prepare for rescue from outside.
At this moment, a thunderous roar resounded over Hyjal: "Carlos, it turned out to be you, dare to attack my castle!"
Looking at the sound source, I saw a particularly tall Doomsday Guard, more than three meters tall, standing in the crowd, yelling at Carlos.
"Uhtred, my old friend, we meet again. Carlos laughed and slashed the head of a blood demon with his sword, laughing at the Doomsday Guard.
"You know it, sir. Shen Yi asked softly.
"Of course, it's called Uhtred, the most notorious of the Doomward Warlords, and I've fought it twice. Carlos replied.
"Who won?" this is what Shen Yi cares about the most.
"Of course it's me!" Carlos replied proudly, "but this guy is very powerful, even I had to fight him with a lot of effort, and I couldn't kill him." β
"You've missed the chance to kill me, it's your sacrifice day!" Uhtred on the other side had already roared.
As a powerful leader of the Doomsday Guard, Uhtred is clearly haunted by his two defeats to Carlos, who stormed Hyjal Castle today, which is a good opportunity for him to take revenge.
"Utred, calm down, keep your mind clear, and don't forget that this is what a leader should be. A dark voice came from behind.
"Deakin, why are you here? this is my territory, I don't need you to interfere!" Uhtred didn't have to look back to know who was talking to him.
Dickin, the leader of Ereda's mages, is the supreme commander in charge of Eredar's mage forces and one of the four commanders of Hyjal Castle.
The entire Hyjal Castle is defended by four high-ranking members of the Burning Legion, namely Uhtred the Doom Guardian, Deakin the Doom Mage, Corel Mage Eireda, Voidwalker Leader Chloette, and Demon Lord Kerbiswell. Among them, Uhtred, Deakin and Chloette are responsible for guarding the three areas of Hyjal Castle, while the most powerful demon lord Kerbiswell sits at the core of the castle, guarding the Well of Eternity, and will not be easily dispatched.
Therefore, Utred, who is in charge of guarding the first area, is not interested in Deakin's arrival, and in his opinion, it is an affront to his authority and dignity.
Diggin replied with a sneer: "Your territory is almost no longer yours, haven't you seen it yet?" The star array of the energy generator is about to fail, they will soon get the energy core, and you will lose all the defensive power in the first area!"
"I don't need your reminder!" Uhtred yelled angrily, "What if they get the core?" I can still snatch it back and put it back!"
"Then I'll wait for your good news. Dirkin smiled and replied, "Don't worry, if you don't want to, I can leave ...... out."
"Remember your promise!" Uhtred shouted with a finger of the Flame Blade in his hand, "Attack!
At the same time, I only heard a soft sound from behind, and then I saw Chu Sheng Honglang and others running quickly, Chu Sheng still held the energy core in his hand, and shouted: "The core is in hand, Shen Yi!"
"How's Fa Long?" asked Shen Yi.
"I woke up, but my bones were broken, and I was going to do it...... I said you're ruthless!"
The guardian is an existence that relies on the energy generator, and as soon as the energy generator disappears, the guardian will naturally cease to exist, and Guo Falong will naturally wake up. This is also the reason why he is an adventurer, and he belongs to temporary control. If it's a permanent control, it's useless to destroy the generator.
"Then charge, let's kill it!" Shen Yi shouted.
With Shen Yi's order, the commandos collectively launched a counter-charge. The Brute Bull team bore the brunt of the attack on the front line of the team, this is Chu Sheng's promise to Shen Yi, and it is also an explanation given by the Brute Bull team to the delayed fighters caused by them.
A man's promise is not to be tarnished!
Like a sharp knife stabbed into the heart of the enemy, the commando's counterattack showed no overture, no buffer, and showed signs of extreme gore from the beginning, instantly detonating the battle to its climax, hundreds of Burning Legion warriors swarming towards the attacking squad, these demons were powerful, fierce, cruel, devouring, and fearless of death.
A storm of flesh and blood arose, enveloping in all directions, stretching towards the gates of Hyjal.
The more than 30 adventurers in the team are like more than 30 steel knives, forming the backbone of the charge, and they can be said to be invincible all the way.
However, Shen Yi knew that this was only a temporary smoothing.
Adventurers are also human beings, no matter how strong their physique is, they have the limit of their physical strength, and the warriors of the Burning Legion are not wheat to be harvested, they can be killed. They also fight back, and many times they are just as sharp and difficult to resist. As time passed, the physical and mental consumption of the adventurers, and the consumption of medicine from injuries would sooner or later reach a limit.
At that point, casualties will be unstoppable, and when they appear, they will come in batches.
In addition, orc soldiers also have their own limits. Their limits are even lower than those of adventurers, and they will only die faster. For every one person killed or wounded in the assault team, the strength decreases by one point, and the pressure increases by one point.
In this case, the only way to ensure that Shen Yi and them rushed out was that Gironno brought troops to help in time.
However, when a plan goes wrong, it is often accompanied by more problems.
Shen Yi's team channel suddenly sounded.
It's Zhou Yiyu.
"Boss!" Zhou Yiyu's voice was full of restlessness.
"I'm here, what's the matter?" Shen Yi's voice was still calm, if he listened to the two of them alone, he was afraid that he would think that it was Zhou Yiyu and not Shen Yi who were under siege at the moment.
"Did you trigger the Hyjal City Defense Alarm?" Zhou Yiyu asked urgently.
"Yes, so what?"
"We've heard the alarm here, too!!The four leaders know that you are attacking Hyjal, and have begun to mobilize their troops to prepare to attack the hillside at night and destroy the orcs!"
Shen Yi's eyes shrank like a needle: "Is it just them?"
"The troops on the Terran side have begun to assemble, King Kong is trying to find a way to delay, I see that there seems to be a similar movement on the side of the undead camp and the elf camp......"
Zhou Yiyu didn't say any more, and Shen Yi had already taken a long breath of cold air.
If the three major races are allowed to jointly attack and fight the hillside position at this time, without the support of adventurers and Carlos, plus the three races joining forces, the beast clan will be in danger.
The so-called miracle plan must be risky, it is not unreasonable. Although Shen Yi's raid on Hyjal Castle at night was unexpected, once discovered, the consequences were also dangerous and unpredictable.
Strange tricks are never equal to clever schemes, if you succeed, you are a famous general, use soldiers like gods, and if you fail, you will be trapped in death, a sinner through the ages.
Now that's it, the plan to storm Hyjal Castle is only a third of the way through, and the backyard is already on fire.
The Burning Legion was besieged and intercepted layer by layer, the assault team lost reinforcements, and the orcs were also in danger of being overturned.
The situation in the eastern region fell to the bottom in an instant, and the situation became more dangerous than ever.
And all this is because he let Guo Falong go......
In war, "willfulness" is destined to pay a price, and conscience is never so easy to maintain.
Thinking of this, Shen Yi sighed.
However, he quickly swept away this subtle emotion, no matter what, he would not regret the decision he had made, and there was no point in reminiscing about the past at this time.
The time is now to think of a solution immediately.
The battle is still going on, the blood is fierce, and everyone is brave.
Carlos noticed Shen Yi's distraction: "Is something wrong?"
"It's nothing, my lord, it's just that my friend outside told me that everything is fine, let's rest assured that we will be able to break through and go home soon. Shen Yi replied with a smile: "In addition, I have ordered our reserve team outside the castle to enter from the outside in, so as to share some of the pressure for us and try to open up a path." β
"That's good. Carlos glanced at Shen Yi meaningfully, brushed, and the long sword in his hand reappeared with blood light.
Shen Yi knew that Carlos couldn't have no connection with Ji Lunnuo, and he probably couldn't hide this from him, but he was very clever and pretended to be confused.
Taking a deep breath, he said to the team channel, "Yiyu, you let King Kong Weina and them lead the team and prepare to attack the undead. β
"Attack the undead?" Zhou Yiyu exclaimed.
"Yes, it's time for you to attack the undead, and you must not let the three clans unite. β
"But it's ...... to act without permission."
"Don't worry, it's not an unauthorized move, it's just a self-defense counterattack, because the undead attacked you first. β
"What? But the undead didn't attack us. β
"They will ......"
Zhou Yiyu immediately understood: "Old Meng ......"
"That's right!" Shen Yi said categorically: "Take your people and Lao Meng to fight, and involve the troops of their respective clans as much as possible." β
"The leaders will not sit idly by, they will stop the battle before it expands. β
"No, they won't stop it. β
"Why?"
"Because the elves will attack the hillside before they do, the three races will never truly join forces. β
Saying that, Shen Yi had already picked up the intercom: "Cliff." β
"Shen Yi?" Cliff's surprised voice came from the intercom: "Why did you contact me at this time?Ah, I see, you must have known that the three major camps are preparing to join forces to attack, right? By the way, your attack on Hyjal Castle doesn't seem to be going well......"
"It's not good for you if I'm dead. Shen Yi said coldly: "Now I need your favor." β
"What's the busy?"
"The people who lead you will attack the orc camp immediately, and they must be the first to attack the human race and the undead. β
"Are you crazy? you're going to let me attack you?"
"Yes!" Shen Yi replied with certainty: "It's much better to let you attack than to let the Terrans and the Undead attack." β
Cliff froze for a moment, then instantly understood.
That's right, it's much better to let the elves attack than to let the undead and the Terrans attack!
Since he couldn't stop the enemy's attack, at least Shen Yi could still pick an opponent, and this opponent was the weakest elf camp in the current situation.
Without the two heroes Isado and Eluna, and the loss of two thousand-man teams, the strength of the elves has been greatly reduced. On the orc side, although there are no adventurers and Carlos, there are at least three heroes, with the advantage of numbers and geography, it is absolutely no problem to block the elves.
As for the human camp and the undead camp to help the elves, it is absolutely impossible. The rules of the city do not allow it, the grudges between the three clans do not allow it, and even the arrogance of the elf clan does not allow it, in short, there are too many reasons for the three clans to join forces, so that the three clans can only be a superficial union of their own battles, and can never be truly united.
As long as the elves are allowed to take the lead, then the human camp and the undead camp can only watch from the sidelines. If there is another instigation by someone with a heart at this time, it is extremely normal for humans to fight with the undead themselves.
Even if he didn't know Shen Yi's order to Zhou Yiyu, Cliff still guessed the possible direction of this war in the end, and had to admit that this was indeed the most suitable choice for the beast clan at present.
Cliff replied, "Okay, I promise you, this will lead people to attack, but Shen Yi, you better remember that I have helped you more than I once promised." β
"I'll remember your favor, rest assured Cliff, your investment won't go unrewarded. β
"That's exactly what I want to hear. β
Putting down the intercom, Shen Yi thought of the Burning Legionnaires coming like a tide in front of him.
Although the crisis at the foot of the mountain has been temporarily delayed, the current crisis still exists.
In any case, due to the sudden attack of the three clans, Gironno's rescue is doomed to fail, and the only hope for the assault team to break out of the encirclement is their own.
Thinking of this, Shen Yi's eyes became more and more condensed.
He said loudly: "Gentle, the commando team is under your command, you must take everyone out of the castle!"
Gentle startled: "What about you?"
Shen Yi's face already showed a hideous and fierce look: "I'm going to kill the second energy generator of these guys!"
"What?" As soon as these words came out, everyone around Shen Yi looked at Shen Yi at the same time, is this guy crazy?
Shen Yi had already said: "We can't let the Burning Legion unscrupulously increase their troops to encircle us, I will attack the energy generators, which can disperse their forces and make it easier for you to break through." β
At this moment, this was the only way Shen Yi could think of. After all, the strength of the Burning Legion was limited, and the total number was only 3,000 men. At this moment, the rear forces will inevitably be empty.
At this time, go to the opponent's second energy generator, if the Burning Legion comes back to help, the pressure on the commando team will be greatly reduced, if it does not come back, then it is also an opportunity for Shen Yi to expand the results of the battle - if you can't let the dead die less, at least you can make the dead die more valuable.
This is Shen Yi's logic!
In an instant, Wen Rou had already understood Shen Yi's thoughts, and she immediately said, "I'll go with you!"
"No!" Shen Yi refused sharply: "The only people who can come and go freely here are me and Lord Carlos, and the commando team needs Lord Carlos, so I can only go by myself." β
Since the alarm of the Burning Legion had sounded, it was unrealistic to rely on the invisibility potion to enter, and only Shen Yi's swift wind step had a chance to slip under those forts, so it was impossible for Shen Yi to find anyone to help, but even so, the danger was extremely great.
"I won't watch you die!" she called out gently, she grabbed Shen Yi's collar and shouted, "If you want to die, we will die together!"
"I'm not going to die! Don't forget we still have a team assembly order. Shen Yi grabbed his gentle hand and replied softly: "Don't worry, as long as you rush out, I can come back alive." β
"I'm afraid you won't be able to ...... by then."
Shen Yi had already blocked his gentle lips with his mouth, and this kiss was full of endless tenderness on this battlefield full of blood and killing.
He stroked his gentle face and smiled, "Be careful, I'll leave it to you here." β
As he spoke, he stepped back, his swift stride, and completely disappeared into the crowd.
Gently looking at Shen Yi's disappearing back, he didn't say a word, but Carlos sighed and said, "Let him go, kid, he is a real warrior, he is fighting for the tribe!"
