Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Accompanied by giant fel cannons, meat grinders, ballistas, heavy catapults and other siege weapons hitting the walls, huge noises from arrow towers and turrets, and a large number of terrifying hellfires falling from the sky, the Burning Legion's general attack
Finally arrived as expected.
And both in terms of quantity and quality, it was more intense than everyone expected.
Even Caliya, who had been fighting demons and undead in the Eastern Continent for a long time, was shocked.
At this moment, she finally realized that the enemies entrenched around the capital of Lordaeron were just pawns deliberately left behind by the Burning Legion and the Scourge to contain the Alliance's power.
The real elites have long since crossed the endless sea and arrived at Kalimdor, and have used powerful portal technology to continuously summon demon armies from other corners of the universe.
Just the first round of attacks destroyed the defense line jointly built by humans and tauren.
Especially the hellfire that falls from the sky cannot be defended at all. It often turns into a big burning pit when it hits the ground. Its power is not much worse than those of super-large-caliber artillery shells and bombs.
The surrounding area of ​​more than ten meters or even dozens of meters will be torn apart by the shock wave generated at the moment of impact, followed by high temperature and high pressure.
Not to mention ordinary soldiers, even legendary warriors like Cairne Bloodhoof cannot guarantee whether they will survive if they are hit from the front.
In addition, powerful lichs, death knights, and demon lords such as Alsace, Reki Winterhan, Kel'Thuzad, Anerselon, Khazlo, and Azgarol took turns to fight to stop the tsunami.
A general attack is almost impossible.
Not to mention Archimonde, a powerful being who could rush in and end everything at any time.
Therefore, Jaina and Cairn Bloodhoof understood from the beginning that the sacrifices and persistence they were making were to buy time for the Alliance reinforcements who were building a second line of defense and the night elves allies on top of Mount Hyjal.
.
Tyrande also sent a large number of troops to help defend the first line of defense so that it would not collapse too quickly.
Including a whole formation of more than 25,000 female warriors and huntresses, as well as almost 4,000 druids and priests.
But even so, the battle line still looks like chaos.
Even Uther the Lightbringer and the Knights of the Silver Hand under his command rushed over from the second line of defense to help, doing their best to use the energy of the Holy Light to fight against the undead and demons.
"Hold on! Don't be afraid! Even if you die, you must die on the battlefield! Our sacrifice is not meaningless! It is to save the world and save your and my family from being slaughtered by these terrible monsters."
Morgan Ladimore wielded the two-handed giant sword "Archaeus" that emitted golden light after focusing on the energy of the Holy Light, and instantly chopped down a hellhound that rushed towards him to extract his mana.
The moment it hits the enemy, in addition to the burning from the holy light energy, there is also an arcane energy impact that is almost imperceptible to the naked eye.
There is no doubt that the sword in his hand is not a blank slate weapon, but a precious magic sword worth a lot of money.
It is with this weapon that this powerful paladin has made great achievements for the Silver Hand. The age of thirty-two is the golden age in the life of a melee professional. Whether it is strength, physical strength,
Reactions and combat experience are perfectly balanced.
It is precisely because of this that Uther recommended him to his loyal monarch, the new Queen of Lordaeron, Calia, as a personal bodyguard.
But at this moment, he was sent by Calia to the first line of defense to help Jaina withstand the enemy's fierce attack.
It is precisely thanks to the fact that there are so many paladins and priests who can use divine magic and holy light energy that the undead of the Scourge are greatly restrained and cannot be used as unscrupulously as in the original timeline to overwhelm them with their numerical advantage.
Line of defense.
On the contrary, it was the performance of the demons that made everyone feel intense fear and uneasiness.
Several demon lords will use their evil magic to summon hellfire whenever they get a chance, smashing into the areas with the strongest resistance, directly tearing apart the defense lines and rushing in to kill them.
At this time, human life is as cheap as ants. Just one step on the giant hellfire will kill several people on the spot. The corpse is like crushed tomato sauce, which makes people want to vomit.
It's a pity that no one cares about whether it's disgusting or not at the moment.
After all, they all know that in this situation, if they are distracted even a little bit, they may fall to the ground and never get up again.
But even so, it was very rare that there were no deserters.
Because everyone has been told why they are participating in this battle, and what hell Azeroth will become if the enemy is victorious.
For the sake of the race, for their families, and for their descendants to live in a world full of hope instead of becoming slaves or even completely destroyed, they must do their best to buy precious time for their allies, even if they sacrifice their lives.
The price is not hesitant.
Some people say that people with firm beliefs are the most respectable and also the most terrifying.
Because this kind of people can really transcend the limitations of their own instincts and fully unleash the great power of their spirit and will. Even when facing terrifying enemies that they know they are unable to defeat, they still dare to charge and swing their swords.
Even if his body has been penetrated and his hands and feet have been torn apart by the power of magic, he will still do his best to cause a little trouble for his opponent before dying, so that his companions can rush over in time to complete the last hit.
Along the entire defense line, you can see humans sacrificing themselves to protect the night elf archers and hunters from harm, and you can also see druids who turned into giant bears rushing into the demons and letting out deafening roars to attract them.
Then he died in the blizzard and firestorm of the human mage.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The tauren warrior with a huge body and huge strength even wielded a totem pole to withstand the most powerful doomsday guard in the vanguard of the Burning Legion. Originally more than a thousand
In the end, only less than one-tenth of the human team survived.
All the rest were killed in the brutal fighting.
Tough!
courage!
sacrifice!
The best in human nature is on display right now in this war that will determine the fate of Azeroth.
All races here do not distinguish between each other, and work together to resist the attack of the Burning Legion. They are even willing to sacrifice their precious lives for each other, even if they have never met before, and they don't know the name of the other party.
.
Along with the increasing number of casualties, there are also more and more mutilated bodies on the ground.
After Jaina finally withstood another wave of fierce attacks from the enemy, she said to Cairn Bloodhoof beside her: "Elder, I think we are almost at the limit. If we continue to hold on, we will only increase casualties."
It won't take long, maybe it's time to retreat to the second line of defense."
"I totally agree."
The tauren chief looked at his compatriots who suffered heavy casualties with a heartbroken expression.
You must know that the tauren suffered heavy losses due to the pursuit of centaurs during their migration to the Desolate Land. In the battle just now, another one or two thousand elite soldiers died. If this situation happens twice more, the entire tribe will probably be on the verge of extinction.
Not far away.
"Retreat, our second line of defense has been built with the help of the night elves."
Uther, who had just killed a lich, was filled with golden light, looking as dazzling as a god coming down from the earth.
"Done? So fast!"
Jaina quickly turned around and discovered that a solid fortress had appeared out of thin air where the Alliance flag was hanging halfway up the mountain.
It's just that this fortress is not built of stone, but a fortification built by thousands of ancient tree people closely arranged together.
The druid was also very "considerate" in planting thorn seeds at the roots of the trees, and used natural magic to encourage them to grow rapidly in a short period of time, densely blocking the gaps between the ancient trees.
Now if demons and undead want to attack the tree wall or climb, they will be torn open by the wooden thorns that are as hard and sharp as steel.
The artillery brought by the alliance has also been placed at various commanding heights, allowing them to bombard the enemies below from a commanding height.
The gunboats floating in the sky are even more prepared, ready to tilt out all their loaded shells and explosives at any time, delivering a devastating blow to the enemy.
As for the tanks and aircraft driven by dwarves and gnomes, they are also ready to enter battle at any time.
In the rear area, there is a huge portal near the World Tree, and a steady stream of ammunition supplies are being delivered.
You don't need to ask. Anyone who is not a fool can tell from this posture alone that the alliance army led by Calia is more well-trained than the orcs led by Thrall, and they also have richer experience in fighting demons and undead.
This can be seen from their cold and indifferent expressions. It is not like the first time they have fought against these terrible enemies.
"Have your people fought against the Burning Legion in the Eastern Continent?" Tyrande asked with a surprised look on his face.
Caliya nodded with a serious expression: "Yes. The Alliance has been fighting fierce battles with the undead of the Scourge and the demon army led by the Dread Lords in the Eastern Kingdom for a long time.
We relied on the knowledge, technology and power given by the great God of Contract to pin them down until Lordaeron could no longer move south.
However, the enemies in the eastern continent are obviously not as powerful and terrifying as Mount Hyjal.
To be honest, I don't think I can last longer than Jaina and those tauren.
So please hurry up."
"My husband Malfurion has begun to detonate the energy of the World Tree.
To be continued...
