The energy of the magic mecha was limited, so the shield barely covered most of the main gun port. The rest of the secondary battery positions were crumbling under the continuous bombardment of the alliance's heavy artillery. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Regan rushed to the machine effortlessly.
In front of A, a spear with holy energy came out of his hand and shot towards the charging main gun like lightning!
"Chi~" The spear rotated violently, causing a stream of sparks to rub against the surrounding air, which seemed to ignite the flowing wind! As it moved forward rapidly, the entire spear body was gradually burned to ashes, but the holy light attached to it
Still dazzling like a flame, it hit the magic shield unabated.
"boom!"
There was only a deafening explosion. The shield that dozens of heavy cannons had been unable to do anything about was shattered by the spear of holy power in one fell swoop, and the chest of the magic armor was also penetrated. The main cannon that was charging exploded with a bang.
Collapse, the uncontrollable green magic energy caused a series of more violent explosions, turning this huge war weapon into scrap metal.
Seeing this situation, the soldiers of the Alliance finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the soldiers of the Seventh Legion also rushed forward to rescue the wounded soldiers of Fort Glory. Although the gains in this battle were huge, the casualties were also huge: no
Including the attrition due to the magic mecha, the storming of the Hellfire City Wall alone resulted in the attrition of nearly half of the main force group. If the alliance had not been increasing troops to the outer regions in recent times, Glory Castle would never have been able to withstand such a tragic sacrifice.
However, despite this, Danas's face still didn't look good - after all, those who died were old subordinates who had followed him for many years, and any injury would make the general extremely sad.
"My condolences, sir..." Havers came over and patted Danas on the shoulder. The surrounding Alliance soldiers were cleaning the battlefield to see if there were any surviving comrades or enemies. "The battle with the Burning Legion must be tragic.
Maybe today it’s these old brothers, maybe tomorrow it will be us.”
A wry smile appeared on Danas's face, "That's true, but there was obviously hope of returning to his hometown soon, but these guys fell again..." The Stromgarde general sighed, and there was something in his eyes.
After hearing this, Havers was slightly startled, then fell silent.
Indeed, what could be more tragic than falling before hope?
The Draenor Expeditionary Force has been stationed in the Outland for twenty years. Most of the sons of Lothar were in their sixties and wrinkled faces. It can be said that they contributed their most precious youth to the Alliance, but when the day of returning home approached,
, but there are so many respectable warriors who have fallen forever on the earth in another dimension, and can only return to their hometown with a handful of ashes. How can it not be heartbreaking?
Just when Havers wanted to say a few more words of relief, a guard hurried over: "Two adults, General Regan discovered several surviving Draenei women when he was cleaning the battlefield. They are currently being rescued by military doctors. General, please
You two go over and take a look. It seems they have anything else to say."
"Delaenei?" Danas wiped the corners of his eyes imperceptibly and asked in a deep voice, "I remember that there are also draenei soldiers serving in the Seventh Legion. Is this so strange?"
"But according to General Regan, they should not be soldiers belonging to the Alliance army, but were found in the wreckage of Hellfire Fortress!" the guard explained by the side.
Danas and Havers looked at each other and said to the guard: "Lead the way."
"yes!"
Not long after, the two commanders followed the guards to the place where Delaney was found. Regan's Red Storm troops and the remaining tribesmen were all in. Due to the previous destruction of the magic mecha, most of the Hellfire Fortress was razed to the ground.
The ground was flat, so these female Draenei were all seriously injured. At this time, their bodies were covered with several pieces of clothing, and they were being treated by several priests.
"Sir!" Regan saw the two commanders arriving and bowed slightly to greet them.
Havers waved his hand, indicating that there was no need to be polite. Seeing that Danas did not show any hostility to the tribesmen, he felt relieved and asked: "What is this? How come there is Delai hiding in the evil orc's lair?"
Ni? Could it be that they are the rumored Broken mercenaries?"
"this…"
"This is not possible," Danas took over. "I have also seen many Broken ones. Their appearance is very different from that of Delaney, and the two on the ground should be genuine Draenei.
…”
"Broken, what kind of species is that?" Roxus stood aside for a long time without interrupting, but when he heard a relatively unfamiliar word, his curiosity, which was no different from that of a child, prompted him to ask.
Danas glanced at the orcs and explained calmly: "It's just a mutation of the draenei... They were hiding in various places due to the massacre of the orcs, but they still did not escape the magic corrosion of the Burning Legion, and a large part of the population mutated.
Became like a monster.”
"Uh, that's it..." Roxas touched his nose awkwardly. Although he was born before the orcs invaded Azeroth, he followed his father and left Draenor when he was very young, so he had no idea about this inhumane situation.
I didn’t know much about the massacre, so I couldn’t help but feel a little surprised when Danas mentioned it.
I don’t know whether it is due to mutation or some other reason, but now the Broken Ones seem to be growing unabated. Although they have lost part of their original power, they have also developed some new abilities from the influence of demons.
What's even more surprising is that the Broken are still trying to preserve their shamanic teachings in some way. It's hard for outsiders to understand how much of the Draenei tradition they still have. The Broken are humanoid creatures in Outland.
The most populous race in the world, some tribes also rule over some of their cousins - the sad Lost Ones
Compared with the Broken, these races are even more confused after the mutation. Some of them have actually been to the world of Azeroth earlier, but they became delirious due to excessive homesickness. The remaining tribes in Draenor
They are also wary of all outsiders, and it is difficult for even a draenei to gain their full trust.
Of course, there is also discrimination against the Lost and the Broken among the Draenei tribe, but it is not so obvious because of the suppression of Prophet Velen, and there are a considerable number of Broken workers in the crystal mines under the Exodar, and they are all loyal.
Although some people regard this as prejudice against these uncorrupted draenei, it is likely to be a superficial compromise.
Overall, the relationship between the draenei and the Broken Ones is extremely complicated and cannot be explained clearly in just one or two sentences.
Among the Broken Ones of the Outland ethnic group, the most famous ones are the Ashtongue Deathsworn. Under the leadership of their leader Akama, they built heavily guarded villages in the Outland and fought with the then ruler of the Outland, Matheri.
Fighting hard
Later, with the help of Illidan, the Ashtongue Deathsworn repelled the demonic attack, and these Broken Ones followed Akama and swore allegiance to Illidan in return for Illidan's liberation from the oppression of the orcs and demons.
Today, the entire Draenor is still dotted with these villages and strongholds of the Lost. Among them, the one located on the Hellfire Peninsula is the Temple of Talhamat in the northwest.
Seeing that the orc did not continue to speak, Danas turned to Regen and asked, "Can these people reveal their identities and origins?"
"Not yet," Regan shook his head. "As you can see, they were naked when they were found. They seemed to have been severely violated and abused. In addition, they were injured after falling to the point that they could not speak a few words.
They were unconscious, so I ordered people to find clothes to cover their bodies..."
"Sir, she seems to be awake!" While speaking, a priest suddenly shouted in surprise and pointed at Delaney, who was moaning slightly.
Seeing this, Regen quickly stepped forward to help him up and asked softly: "Madam, how do you feel?"
"I...where am I?" Delaney opened his eyes weakly, but what he saw were several humans, and he was slightly startled.
"In Hellfire Fortress," Regen quickly added when he saw the other party's face turn pale, "but now it has become a ruin. All the evil orcs and demons are buried here. From now on, this sinful place will be destroyed."
No more!"
"Ahem...Thanks to the Holy Light, these beasts have finally been punished!" Delaney was very excited after hearing this, coughing and said, "I am also very grateful to you all for avenging this great revenge for our sisters, so that they can rest in peace in heaven.
Close your eyes…”
"You're welcome, madam," Danas smiled at her, "This is what our alliance army should do... By the way, since you are not subordinates of the Seventh Legion, but you are from the Tahamat Temple in the northwest?
"
Delaney shook his head gently: "We are the Aldo Guards from Shattrath. We came here under the order of Lord Adal to ask for assistance from the Alliance and the Horde. But we didn't expect to be attacked by the evil orcs on the way.
Some of their comrades-in-arms were sacrificed, and only some female soldiers were taken captive back to the fortress..."
Delaney didn't continue talking at this point, but Regan and the others also knew what happened next, so they didn't ask any more questions.
"Then I wonder what kind of trouble Mr. Adal has encountered, and even the astrologer and Aldo can't help him?" Danas was no stranger to this name, so he said to Delaney with some confusion.
"Please forgive me for asking... Is your lord, General Danas Trollbane, the supreme commander of the Castle of Glory?"
Danas nodded slightly: "Exactly," he pointed at Regan and Havers. "These two are the first reinforcement commanders sent by the Alliance to Draenor, General Havers Wymbane.
and General Christine Reagan.”
"That's good..." Delaney seemed relieved and said, "Because this matter is of great concern, I have to confirm your true identity before I can tell you. I hope you won't be offended..."
Everyone nodded to express understanding, and Delaney also closed his eyes slightly, and then told the whole story of why Adal asked for help.
