Chapter 1915: The First Battle of Argus: The Ruins of Oronar

After a month or so of recuperation, most of the Expeditionary Force had adapted to the very different environments of Argus and Azeroth.

As it turned out, Sarjan's decision to choose Eredas as a foothold for Argus was the right one.

Of the only three remaining lands in Argus today, the concentration of evil energy in the Eredas region is much lower than that of the other two regions due to the neutralization of the power of the void, which is just enough for the soldiers of the expeditionary force to gradually adapt to the harsh environment of Argus.

A demigod like Sarjan can ignore the influence of the environment to a certain extent, but ordinary mortal soldiers cannot.

After gradually getting used to the new environment in the Eredas region, Garrod began to send soldiers into the Crocoon Wilderness in batches, so that they could experience in advance how much this deeply eroded land would affect their human body.

Due to the precautions prepared in advance, and with the blessing of the holy light spells blessed by the priests, the soldiers of the expeditionary force could barely hold on for 30 minutes at the beginning, and gradually evolved to 1 hour, 2 hours, and now they can maintain a fighting state in the land of Krokun for 1 hour in a row.

This hour was not just a matter of standing on the land of Krokun's evil powers, but an entire hour of high-intensity training that was close to the actual combat level.

After leaving the combat state, as long as the clerics can keep the light on the soldiers alive, most of the Expeditionary Force soldiers will be able to stay in the Evil Land for at least one day, and this standby time will gradually increase as they further adapt to the environment.

Valera has infiltrated the Antolan Wasteland herself, using a portable detector provided by Mimiron to monitor the concentration of evil energy in the Antolan Wasteland.

According to the standards set by Mimiron, the uncontaminated land of Azeroth has a standard of 1 for the concentration of evil energy, with Eredas at 1.3 and Crocoon at 2.1, and the outskirts of the Antolan Wasteland have reached a staggering 2.5.

It is predictable that the concentration of evil energy inside the Burning Throne of Antorus will be even higher, and may even exceed 3 in the monitoring value.

In order to avoid raising the Burning Legion's alert level in advance, Valilla did not venture close to the heavily guarded Antolus, but simply circled around the perimeter of the fortress before leaving.

Although Valera didn't go deep into Antorus, Sarjan was able to obtain top-secret information about the inside of the Burning Throne through Talgas, and it was in real time.

After more than a month of high-intensity border tugging, the frontline soldiers of the Burning Legion and the Shadow Guard have fallen into periods of varying degrees of weakness.

Even demons and void creatures that don't need to eat or sleep can't stay in a high-intensity state of battle for a long time, after all, they are only flesh and blood creatures, not tireless, mood-free undead and mechanical creatures.

The timing of the attack was very clever, and the two rival camps of Argus happened to have slowed down the pace of the battle due to the long fighting.

On the other hand, the Azeroth Expeditionary Force has been in obscurity during this time, and many soldiers have begun to itch their hands, eager to go to the battlefield to kill a few demons and void monsters to win military merit for themselves.

At the end of September of the 23rd year of the Black Gate, with the order of Sarren, who was sitting in the center, the coalition soldiers who were ready to go finally walked out of their respective strongholds.

The two armies of the Palace of the Mysteries and the end of the Consul marched north, and Sarian himself advanced to the ruins of Oronar with the army from the west.

While the Burning Legion was opening the Scoop on the border of Iredas, the Ethereal Governor Naizar did not relax his surveillance of the Azeroth Expeditionary Force, and the end of the Archium had just made a move, and the defenders of the ruins of Oronar were quickly preparing for a defensive counterattack.

However, the intensity of the Azeroth coalition's attack far exceeded Nazar's expectations, and the overwhelming dragon legions rose into the air, first attacking the defenders of the ruins of Oronar.

The dragon's breath from the dragons of various colors stained the defensive barrier above the ruins of Oronar in a colorful color, and under the continuous dragon's breath attack, a large number of cracks appeared on the surface of the defensive barrier visible to the naked eye.

Not only that, but the ground assault team led by the Wilderness Demigods, Titan Guardians, and Loa also began to attack the defensive barrier.

That's right, Sarian left most of the demigod-level combat power on the side of the Western Route Army, after all, the Eastern Route Army starting from the Mystic Academy Palace needs to face only partial divisions with weak combat power, and there is no need to use too much high-end combat power.

"Smack!"

The battle in the ruins of Oronar began in less than 5 minutes, and under the saturation fire of the Azeroth Demigod Legion, the defensive barrier that Nazar had high hopes for was easily torn apart, and the coalition soldiers who had been impatient immediately roared and poured into the ruins, starting an even more tragic street battle.

Sarayan did not intervene in this local battle, and he stood on a distant hill with Garrod and other senior commanders to watch the situation unfold.

"As expected."

Sarjan cupped his chin with one hand and thoughtfully focused on the street battle below: "Although the ruins of Oronar have amassed a lot of troops, the number of shadow guard ethereals among them is very small, and most of them are some low-level void monsters and half-finished void breakers. ”

The Void Breaker is a localized "specialty" that Shadow Guard Ethereal has researched over the years.

As Hatton said before, not all Eredians have joined the Burning Legion, and a significant number of Eredar civilians have not even known that the upper echelons have "changed the dynasty" for a long time.

Most of them were killed in the upheaval of the environment on Argus, but some of them were forced to adapt to the drastic changes in the environment and survived in a new form, which is the origin of the Broken.

Yes, the Breakers weren't originally born in Draenor.

Long before the Draenei fled to Draenor, there were already large groups of Breakers in their native Argus.

Over time, almost all of the Shatterers of the Antolan Wasteland were forced to join the Burning Legion and become slave armies under the Demons.

The few Breakers who were able to escape the Antolan Wasteland sought their way to Crowkun and Eridas, respectively.

Crocoun's environment is no better than that of the Antolan Wasteland, but anyone with a brain will give preference to the Eredas region as a new place to stay.

However, this choice is an outright trap for the Shatterers.

Today, the sparsely populated Eredas has lost a single normal Shatterer, and most of them have been captured by Nezar's Shadow Guard Void as experiments.

More than 90 percent of these pathetic subjects failed to retain their self-consciousness, some of them degenerated into irrational Void Monsters, and some of them retained the general appearance of the Shatterers, but they were not fundamentally different from the low-level Void Monsters, and only less than 1 percent of the people were as lucky as Zural to "evolve" into full-fledged Void Breakers.

"Cannon fodder troops...... Garrod's eyes narrowed slightly, staring at the advancing front: "It's not unexpected, for the Shadow Guard Void Spirit, outsiders of unknown origin are not as threatening as the Burning Legion who have been fighting with each other for many years and know each other's roots. ”

"Huh~" The corners of Saryan's mouth hooked up a sneer: "This is also good news for us, break through this stronghold as soon as possible and continue to go north, and strive to attack the seat of the consul within 3 days, don't give the Burning Legion watching the fire from the other side a chance to take advantage of the fire to rob." ”
