Chapter 33: Storming the Inner City
According to the plan, Fasqi and her Naga army left the crowd and entered the waterway, intending to join the army through the moat of the temple through the waterway.
The large force was still moving along the tunnels, led by a mana-breaking armored force with a giant shield, with three leaders in the middle of the line, followed by mages and other support forces.
At first, the tunnel could only accommodate three people in parallel, which seemed very cramped, even if the army maintained a formation, it was inevitable that it would be crowded together, if it was ambushed at this time, it would face the disaster of annihilation, and everyone did not dare to make a move, and moved forward gently.
Illidan listened carefully to the movements around him with his long, keen ears as he walked, holding the blade of Aesinos tightly in his hand, and walked with a blank face. Kael'thas was covered with beads of sweat on his forehead, and his originally fair face became even paler, and he had experienced many disasters, which made him even more afraid of being exterminated. Akama's expression was solemn, and his eyes were sometimes angry, sometimes sad.
Fortunately, the narrow road did not last long, and soon reached a relatively empty area. The three leaders breathed a sigh of relief. The soldiers regrouped and took on the offensive momentum.
"Enter the heartland, let's go inside!" Illidan gave the order to attack.
The long-suppressed breaking force rushed towards the castle like a beast out of a cage. The army behind also poured out like a tide.
Suddenly, two scorpion-like sculptures rose from the top of the two towers on the left and right of the castle.
"Stop!" Akama exclaimed, halting the troops.
But a step too late, the golden scorpions on the left and right shot out two green flashes of strong light towards the rushing law-breaking troops, and the strong light exploded everywhere it went, and the law-breaking troops at the front instantly turned into ashes, including their armor and shields, leaving no shadow.
Seeing this sudden attack, the ranks in the rear stopped, and everyone watched with horror and puzzlement at what was happening in front of them, not believing what was happening in front of them.
Kael'thas was covered with beads of sweat on his pale face, staring blankly at what was happening, "What the hell is this............"
Illidan also paused, then his expression turned to anger, "What the hell is this?!" he asked.
"In the past, the Draennies created advanced city defense weapons, but at that time, the power was only to weaken the enemy's combat power, and could not hurt people's lives, which was obviously strengthened by demons and turned into a complete killing machine. Akama said.
"If I want to stop here, I don't want to fall short. Illidan said.
"My lord, I understand what you mean, I said that our blood elves are ready to fight to the death, there will always be sacrifices in the war, we will continue to rush forward, and we will definitely be able to break through the defense line. Kael'thas said.
"To do so would be self-defeating, do you know how much such a defense there is?" Akama said.
"Only I can fly up the tower and tell me how to destroy that device. Illidan said.
"Your Excellency, you shouldn't bother with this, leave the task of destroying the city defenses to me and my people, I know the control center of the device and know how to destroy them, please wait a moment and attack after we have succeeded." Akama said.
"Yes, I forgot about it, and I'll leave it to you, and in an hour, if you don't succeed, we'll have to risk our lives to attack. Illidan said.
"Trust me, it won't take an hour. Akama said.
The Shatterers vanished into thin air under the command of their leader, stealthily walking past the heavily defended towers, which did not notice them.
Thanks to them, I don't know how much my people would have to sacrifice. Kael'thas thought.
All the soldiers stood there quietly, not knowing what fate they would face next, although they were all ready to sacrifice their lives to fight, but in the face of death, it was inevitable to be afraid.
Akama finally lived up to expectations, and within half an hour, the defense towers on the two towers suddenly exploded into pieces, and everyone cheered. The army began to charge.
Demons who heard the movement poured out of the city one after another, and instantly fought with Illidan's army. The unprepared demons were no match for the well-formed coalition forces at all, and all kinds of powerful demons in normal times became vulnerable in front of the delicate and dexterous team, and the demon army was instantly routed, and Illidan's army marched all the way.
On the throne of the temple, an orc wizard hurriedly ran in, "Oh no! Lord Matheridon, an army has invaded, they have entered the castle from nowhere, and they have destroyed the city defenses and entered the inner city. ”
Hearing this, Mathridon, who was munching on the steak, immediately threw down the food in his hand, kicked the table away, and roared: "Hmph, these hateful outsiders, this time I will let them taste my strength, let them know that I am the king of this wasteland! ”
At this time, one of them said, "My lord, if there is no internal response, they would not be able to enter so easily, and there must be internal ghosts inside our castle." ”
It was a tall, dark-skinned orc who was missing an eye and had scars all over his face.
"Who do you think could be an inner ghost? Lord Talon. Matheriton asked.
"My subordinates don't dare to casually determine who is the inner ghost, but I have a question - how did these troops pass through safely with powerful defense towers installed inside the castle?"
"Don't spew blood, Tharon, I'm loyal to Lord Mathridon. Another voice argued.
"I'll just tell the truth, and I'll leave the rest to Lord Matheriton. ”
"Mistress Sahras, how do you explain?" said Mathridon, glaring angrily at the arguing man.
"It's a strange thing, but my lord, I've been with you for many years, and my loyalty is obvious to all, so how could I betray you?"
"At present, the enemy's army has come to the inner city through the defense tower safely, how do you explain it, it is either betrayal or dereliction of duty!"
Shahras bowed her head and replied, "My subordinates will definitely investigate and find out, and in order to show my loyalty, I will guard the gate of the throne and prevent them from breaking through." ”
"Then I'll give you a chance, if you fail, I'll definitely make your life worse than death!" Matheriton roared, "Tallon, you go with you, your mission is to guard the organ room of the inner city gate, and you can't let the inner ghost enter again." ”
On the other side, Illidan's army, which had reached the inner city, could not find a route to its march, and everyone stopped there. At this time, Akama appeared with his men beside Illidan.
"Lord Illidan, Matheriton has sensed that he has blocked the Throne Gate and arranged for the Defense of the Queen of Pain, Shahras, the Queen of Pain, is a powerful demon, we cannot pass her defenses by stealth, and we can only enter the Throne Gate Control Room until we destroy her army, otherwise we will not be able to see Matheriton. Akama said.
