Magtheridon stretched his body, and slapped his huge tail on the ground, causing the gravel on the top of the hall to fall one after another, causing the surrounding warlocks to avoid each other in a somewhat embarrassed manner. However, the Abyss Lord seemed to have not recovered enough from his body.
satisfy
, he cursed twice in devilish language, and asked the orcs: "According to what you said, those mortals have already reached the gate of the fortress, but Kargas did not send any reinforcements, and just stayed in the Broken Hall and watched the hellfire.
The fall of the city wall?”
"That's right, Master," one of the warlocks replied respectfully, "Although we don't understand why Blade Fist was willing to give up the wall area of the fortress, judging from his arrangements during this period, it seems that this reckless man has already known this in his mind.
There are thoughts of letting Jagoma die..."
"Oh? Is this happening?" The Abyss Lord was quite surprised when he heard this. He touched his chin with his huge palm and fell into deep thought. His thick head made this action look very funny, but the orcs around him did not dare to do it.
They are not negligent at all, because they know how terrifying this seemingly obese fat man is.
"It seems that the reckless man Kargas must have smelled something. If not, with his personality, he would never let the other party come to the door." The abyss lord thought for a moment and then said, "Maybe he already knows that you are planning to win over Kargas.
What about Goma?”
"This..." The orcs looked at each other, not knowing how to answer.
At this moment, a hoarse voice came from the passage of the Sealed Hall
"My master is wise, no truth can escape your eyes!"
Upon hearing this, the surrounding warlocks lowered their staffs and divided into two rows to pay tribute to the approaching leader - Lord of the Blood Furnace, "The Breaker" Credan.
The Warlock Commander waved his hand, signaling to his colleagues that they should not be too formal. It could be seen from his crimson skin that this survivor of the Stormrage Clan should be one of the few subordinates who did not follow Gul'dan to the Broken Islands. However,
Because of this, he escaped the same fate as most of his people: being torn to pieces by the demons of the Tomb of Sargeras.
Later, during the purge of Gul'dan's followers by the tribal chief Orgrim, the little-known Creedan escaped by chance and concealed his identity and switched to Kargath's account.
He gradually became an important member of the Shattered Hand tribe with Spell, and after following Ner'zhul back to the Outland, he was promoted to Spell Lord by Blade Fist, responsible for the defense of the second floor of Hellfire Citadel, which is the Blood Furnace.
As a subordinate of Kargath, Kridan actually has no loyalty to this reckless orc hero. All he pursues is to recreate the glory of the Shadow Council and put the tribe and even the entire world under his own control.
Under control
Although Kridan's ambition was not small, he also understood that he could not achieve this goal by relying on himself and the confidants he had cultivated over the years. Therefore, when Illidan secretly sent the defeated Magtheridon to Hellfire Citadel, and used
When his blood was used as culture fluid to transform the orc army, Credan turned his attention to the sealed former king of Outland.
As a survivor of the Stormrage Clan, he knew very well how terrifying the Burning Legion was that made Gul'dan bow to its knees. Even though their several attempts to invade Azeroth ended in failure, all this was due to the Dark Titan's attack.
The plan did not hurt the bones at all. Demons from other worlds are still under the leadership of Kil'jaeden, and they continue to appear in every corner of the mortal world.
The reason why Kridan is willing to become a pawn of the Burning Legion is that he inherits Gul'dan's legacy.
"You are here," Magtheridon said to the orc warlock, "tell us what Kargath's plans are. Is he really planning to give up half of Hellfire Fortress?"
A sly smile appeared on Credan's dry face, and he said: "I won't rush into my opinion...but in my opinion, Chief Blade Fist is a fool with no brains and arrogance?"
"Huh, if he was really that stupid, he wouldn't have betrayed me and gone to Illidan!" Although the demons were not afraid of betrayal, they also had a bad impression of the second and fifth boys. The abyss lord snorted coldly.
, "They say he has well-developed limbs and a simple mind, but I think this guy's mind is as good as that of a devil!"
"That's right!" Credan laughed, "Since he is not stupid, how could he be willing to give up his lair to humans? The only explanation is that he intends to use the alliance army to get rid of Gargoma!"
"Get rid of Gargoma?" Magtheridon was stunned, "Then if the city wall area falls into enemy hands, can he still sit safely in the Broken Hall?"
Kridan shook his head and said: "The master doesn't know something. This Hellfire Fortress is cleverly designed. The four areas seem to be related to each other, but in fact they do not affect each other. Even if humans occupy the city wall area, they will still be unable to break into the Blood Furnace or the Sealed Area.
Hall…let alone the Broken Hall at the highest point of the fortress.”
"It is precisely because Kargas knows this so well that he will not send any assistance and sit back and watch Gagoma being destroyed by humans," the orc added, "If I guessed correctly, his next plan should be to
In the name of taking back the city wall, let me lead my men to fight with the humans to the death of both sides, and then he will come out to clean up the mess and kill the other side and us in one fell swoop!"
Magtheridon touched his plump chin, with a dangerous light in his eyes: "So, he must have been aware of my plan, otherwise he wouldn't have killed you and Gagoma."
"It's natural to be vigilant, but I think he hasn't expected that the master's power has almost fully recovered, otherwise he wouldn't just be limited to dealing with me and Gagoma..." Kridan glanced at the Abyss Lord and did not continue.
He continued, but the meaning behind his words was very clear: If Blade Fist really knew that you had fully recovered, would it be possible for him to let go of your vindictive former master?
"Ha, if that's the case, then it's time for Kargath to admit defeat!" Magtheridon laughed, his voice making the whole hall buzz. "Kridan, prepare to launch a plan to seize the fort! This time I will
I want that bastard Kargas to kneel at my feet and beg for mercy, and then kill him with one knife!"
"Yes, Master!"
————————————————————————While an unknown conspiracy is going on at the bottom of the fortress, the offensive and defensive battles on the city wall have also entered a fever pitch.
Because some reinforcements from the Blood Furnace joined in, the pressure on the city wall defenders was reduced a lot. Although they could not push back the alliance for a while, they could at least maintain a tug-of-war with the enemy with the few remaining fortifications and strongholds.
As long as the next wave of reinforcements arrives, they will definitely be able to annihilate these hateful humans in one fell swoop.
But the question now is, will reinforcements arrive?
"Sir, more than half of the 42nd Infantry Regiment suffered casualties. Please temporarily withdraw the troops to rest!"
"Two-thirds of the heavy artillery in the artillery battalion is already overheated. From now on, the city wall will not be able to provide all-round artillery cover!"
"Mage Alliance..."
While the Fel Orcs were struggling to support themselves, the Glory Castle army was also locked in a tough fight. Although most of the soldiers of Lothar's Sons were experienced veterans, the other side also had advantageous terrain and defensive facilities, so both sides consumed the same radius.
Eight taels, neither of us can take advantage of each other
Danas stood under the city wall with a serious look on his face and supervised the battle. The battle losses of each department were reported to him like water, but he did not issue any other orders from beginning to end. He just said lightly that he knew it, which greatly puzzled his subordinates.
"Sir, more than half of the 42nd Infantry Regiment has suffered casualties," a staff officer kindly reminded from the side, "See if you can get them to..."
"No, continue fighting!" Danas glanced at the staff officer, shook his head and refused, "The only main siege force in Glory Castle is the 42nd Infantry Regiment. If they withdraw, who else can I use to fill in? The cavalry.
Troops or mages?”
After a pause, General Stromgarde continued: "Besides, until now, the two armies have been fighting for their willpower and tenacity. Whichever side fails to hold on and falls first, the other side will win! The casualties of the infantry regiment are not small.
, but the losses of the orcs will definitely be greater, as long as we persist, we will definitely be able to capture one-third of the Hellfire Fortress!"
"Understood, sir..." Seeing that the commander had made up his mind, the staff around him could not offer any more advice, but they were slightly worried about the situation of the battle: after all, the soldiers of the 42nd Infantry Regiment are brave, but most of them are already old.
After forty, it will be difficult to sustain a long-term battle
At this moment, a burst of rapid horse hoofbeats came from behind the formation, and everyone turned to look, only to see that it was General Reagan who was supposed to stay in the north of the peninsula to deal with the Burning Legion. Although he was surprised, Danas and his staff still
Welcoming him
"Why are you, General, here? Didn't you go to conquer the Burning Legion with Lord Havers?" Seeing Regan jump off the horse in a hurry, Danas asked with some confusion.
"Yes, sir, according to the plan, I should stay in the mountains of the peninsula to fight with the demons at this moment," the knight explained to everyone, "but by coincidence and unfortunately, another tribe scout and I
We jointly discovered the Burning Legion’s conspiracy, that’s why we came to warn you!”
Danas frowned: "Conspiracy?"
"Yes, there is a conspiracy against the tribe, the alliance, and even the evil orcs!" Reigen calmed down and told everyone everything that had happened before, and the faces of the generals of Glory Castle became increasingly ugly.
"Damn it, that treacherous guy Magtheridon! Is there a Dread Lord living in his obese body?" A dwarf officer said angrily, "No wonder the demons on the peninsula have been so honest in recent times. It turns out that they exist.
The idea is to let us and other forces fight to the death, and then annihilate everyone in one fell swoop!"
Regen nodded and said: "That's right. I didn't think much about it when I eavesdropped on Alasius's intention before, but when I saw the orc army heading towards Hellfire Fortress on the way, I felt something was wrong. It turned out that Ma
Theridon's appetite this time is surprisingly large, and he wants to swallow up the remaining three forces in one go!"
"The army of the tribe? Didn't Arator lead someone to stop them?" Danas asked with a frown.
"Yes, sir, that's exactly why I came here," Regan bowed slightly and said, "Please also allow the tribal army to join the battle and work with us to deal with the evil orcs and the Burning Legion!"
