Chapter 082: Beach-Snatching Hillsbrad (1)

Time flew by, the sun set in the west, and as the sky grew darker, the vast fleet of locusts finally approached the shoreline of the Hillsbrad hills.

However, it is naturally impossible for hundreds of large warships to land in a swarm, and although some ships rush to the beach regardless of the risk of running aground, even if they ignore the fleet, they will have to wait until midnight to complete the landing as quickly as possible.

After all, it takes time to load and unload people and materials.

The orcs who washed up on the beach, led by the leaders of the various clans, quickly took over the beach, and as batches of supplies were brought ashore by landing craft, the laborers quickly began to build temporary strongholds.

From above, it looks like a green wave has hit the beach in a very short time.

"The number of these monsters is staggering. After all, it was the first time I had seen an orc, and Tulayan was deeply shocked by his sturdy body and vigorous movements. Of course, the most terrifying thing is the fierce roar that can be heard clearly even from a distance, and the ugly and bloodthirsty disgusting faces.

"Give the order to attack, if their fleet is dispersed along the coastline, the ship's firepower will be a great obstacle to our surprise attack. Khadgar was much calmer and could even offer constructive advice to Lothar.

But...... Lothar didn't respond to him, he looked at the dense army of tribes on the shore, a look of sadness lingering on his face.

The Orcs were even larger than he remembered, but on the Alliance's side, in order to stop the Horde landing on the Hillsbrad Hills as soon as possible, they had to disperse their forces at possible landing sites near the coast. Although he was the first to send news to the other troops after learning of the tribe's movements, it took time to get there.

With the troops behind him now, I'm afraid it will be difficult to deal with this army of hundreds of thousands of orcs.

"Your Excellency?" Uther's deep voice dispelled the doubts in Lothar's mind, "now is the best opportunity. ”

In the light of dusk, the crimson Quelzaram was raised above his shoulder, and Lothar looked at the sea of people behind him, and his loud voice spread far away with the help of Khadgar's magic: "Brothers and sisters, our enemies have set foot on the shore, and what they want is our homeland, the blood of our relatives and friends, and the land on which we all live!"

"Will you let them do anything?"

"Never!"

"Let them die!"

"Kill those bastards!"

......

Despite the mess, the roar of courage and strength made Lothar smile: "I, Anduin Lothar, swear that I will never allow this to happen!"

"Follow me! Let this sea be full of orc blood!"

"For the Alliance!"

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

Ho!

The patrolling wolf cavalry suddenly stopped, and the orc rider looked dazed as the iron-jawed wolf under his crotch let out a low roar. Just as he was about to whip the disobedient beast, the ground beneath his feet suddenly trembled more violently.

His eyes followed the voice, and a blue wave rushed from the distant hills.

No, it's not a wave, it's an endless army of humanity!

"Shoot the arrows!"

Not only humans, but at the same time as the alliance launched a charge, the elves who had already hidden halfway up the mountain raised their bows and arrows, accompanied by the sound of uniform cracking strings, dense arrows wrapped in fire oil and thrown into the air, pouring down like orange raindrops.

On the outskirts of the unfinished stronghold, piles of building materials were ignited almost instantaneously by the fire oil. The wood that the tribe had done its best to keep dry during their voyages at sea was fueled by the rain of fire, and the flames burst from the ground and reflected on the faces of the orcs, causing panic and fear to rise quickly.

Bang! Bang!

A deafening loud bang came from the top of the hillside, and before the orcs could come to their senses, a shrill scream too fast to catch pierced the sky and finally landed in the center of the crowd.

Boom β€”β€”!

A series of explosions swept away the mutilated corpses. The violent collision detonated the cannonball, and with a loud bang, the unstoppable impact sent the fragments easily into the orc's armor and flesh. For a moment, severed limbs and flesh flew before the eyes of the tribe, and billowing black smoke rose from the shore, like an apostle announcing death and despair.

The salvo of artillery and bows completely disturbed the tribe, flames and black smoke rolled on the coast, and there were panicked or angry roars everywhere, making it difficult to form an effective counterattack for a while.

Seeing the vanguard and those precious supplies die in the flames, Orgrim was furious: "Don't be stupid! Quick, rush ashore for me!"

"But we're going to hit other ships. Sarufar tried to stop the High Chief's wrath, "And we will definitely run aground, and the fleet behind will not be able to dock." ”

"You want me to watch them die?" Orgrim swung his hammer and smashed the railing in front of him, "Cunning humans, they don't want to!"

"Pass the order, all fleets, turn the rudder!"

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

"Here we go. Tulayan clenched his fists, and he realized that his palms were already sweaty because of the nervousness.

"Are you nervous?" Khadgar on the side saw that his whole body was tense, and he couldn't help but whisper softly to comfort him.

"No, I ......," the adjutant took a deep breath and finally gave up on explaining, "It's the first time I've seen a scene like this. ”

"The first time I went to war, I was as nervous as you were. ”

"And now?" Although the other party seemed to be much older than himself, unlike the majesty and mountain admiration of Lothar, Tulayan always felt that this mage could bring more intimacy to him.

"It's the same now. Khadgar smiled, "One will panic, the same will be afraid." ”

"But General Lothar told me after that battle that it was the right thing to do. Fear can make people weak, it can make people more vigilant, and at least it can make you do everything you can to keep yourself from being hurt. ”

"My teacher said the same thing. At this, Tulayan looked at Uther, "It's one thing to say, but it's another thing to do. ”

"You're going to do well, because when it all starts, we don't have much time to think about it. ”

As Khadgar said, there is no time. Before Tulayan could respond, a powerful voice interrupted everyone's thoughts.

"Brothers and sisters of the Silver Hand, the time has come to test the results of your training!" Seeing that the artillery fire had disrupted the formation of the tribe, Uther grabbed the reins, and the war horse suddenly neighed and lifted him high, and the two-handed warhammer raised above his head was bathed in golden light, like a new sun, "For the Holy Light, for the Alliance!"

"Rush!"

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

The terrain near the coast was much flatter, and the movement of the cavalry was not greatly hindered. With shouts of slaughter reaching into the sky, the rider harnessed his horse and soon approached the periphery of the burning stronghold.

However, at this moment, the ships near the coast slowly turned around. Standing on the high ground, Lothar could see clearly, the pitch-black cannons sticking out of the side of the ship.

"Tsk, this thing is much more advanced than a catapult. Lanlos leaned back against the trunk of the tree, his face at ease, as if he were in two different worlds from this battlefield.

The Horde has hundreds of warships, and if each warship has so many cannons, it means that the Horde's artillery strike ability is probably more terrifying than that of the Alliance combined. This is much stronger than the military strength of the original attack on the Draenei.

It seems that goblins are really a group of magical creatures.

Even so, Lothar did not stop the charge of his troops, and his eyes fell on the sea dyed bright red by dusk.

"Let the dregs of the alliance taste great. Orgrim stood on the mast, without the help of spells, and only relied on explosive power to transmit the deafening roar that seemed to tear the throat to the ears of all the gunners, "Fire!"

Whewβ€”β€”!

Boom, boom......

The familiar voice made Orgrim frown, and he subconsciously turned his head, only to see that more than a dozen warships on both wings were knocked down by the explosion, and the skew of the hull caused a rapid change of direction, and some of the guns were even aimed at the Horde's fleet.

Despite the distance, he saw the lead that was about to burn out.

Rumble!!!

The flames of the deflagration tore the iron sheets of the ships, and the billowing smoke characteristic of igniting black powder almost flooded the sea, and the entire fleet was thrown into chaos due to the temporary 'defection' of the ships on both wings.

Except for a small number of shells that managed to fall into the crowd of the Alliance, many more either sank into the sea or crashed headlong into their own ships.

The flotilla is too dense.

As he gave the order to disperse, Orgrim stared behind him with bloodshot eyes, ignoring the smoke and flames burning his eyes.

On the two wings of the sea, wisps of green smoke were rising from the side guns of the ships flying the flags of the green bottom anchor pattern against the tribes, and from the side guns of the decks and cabins. Obviously, the masterpiece just now is from their handiwork.

"Kurtiras's fleet?" Ogrim's brow wrinkled even deeper, and even though it was the first time they met, the elusiveness of the other party at sea and the precise shelling that had just made an indelible first impression on him.

"Gul'dan, inform the rear fleet, and sink them all into the sea for me first!" Some people panicked in the predicament, and some people, even in the midst of the clouds, were calm, and it was clear that Orgrim belonged to the latter, "Zuluhid, it's up to you." ”

"Yes, my Great Chief. The Dragonroar Chief smiled cruelly, grabbed the horn around his neck, and blasted it with all his might.
