Chapter 358
"bump!"
"What the **** is going on! How much ammunition have those long ears hoarded, and why haven't they been empty?"
Alsace has never suffered any disadvantages since he led the Scourge army. He has never suffered from this kind of suffocation. His army has been reduced by 200,000 under the attack of the elves, but he still hasn't waited until the opponent runs out of ammunition and food.
"Calm down, Your Highness, I'm afraid our cognition has made a mistake. This kind of gun does not use conventional ammunition, but pure energy attack."
"Energy attack? Where did they get this inexhaustible... ah." Halfway through the speech, Alsace, who was a little anxious, realized it himself.
"That's right, the Sunwell. Sure enough, Quel'Thalas didn't destroy it at all, it just hid it."
Arthas frowned and said, "But wouldn't it be difficult for us to move forward? The high elves really hide deep enough."
Kel'Thuzad thought for a while and said helplessly, "There is no other way, we don't have time to waste here, let's go to Dalaran, and use the sun well water to revive me on the way."
Kel'Thuzad felt a lot of doubts in his heart at this time. Charlemagne had specially given him the water from the great altar of the sun well. He kept the well water in a secret underground experiment in Andorhal for safekeeping. in the room.
Considering the current situation, he always felt that Mr. Theron planned it beforehand... If this is the case, then this person really made Kel'Thuzad feel a little scared.
Although Alsace was very unwilling, Ner'zhul, who had repacked the Icecrown Citadel, also gave him a retreat order.
"Leave Quel'Thalas alone for now, we have no time to waste. The military strength of this country far exceeds my expectations."
"Kel'Thuzad, I have sent the air force to support you. After the air force arrives, you will finally try to launch a raid in the open space at the same time. If you succeed, you will continue to march. If you fail, you will go to Dalaran. Remember, you must get Book of Medivh!"
Alsace and Kel'Thuzad respectfully replied at the same time, "Yes, esteemed master!"
When the disaster air reinforcements arrived, Arthas regained his confidence again, "With the help of a powerful ice dragon this time, I don't believe those high elf artillery can still hit the sky!"
The ice dragons sent by Ner'zhul this time are already his last stock, a total of 20, plus more than 1,000 gargoyles, Alsace is confident that he will completely defeat the fortress that the high elves are proud of.
Baron Rivendell gave a reminder at this time, "Your Highness, don't be careless. The high elves also have an air force. Although the number is not as large as that of the gargoyles, they are very elite. You must be prepared."
"Hmph! Can the elite beat the ice dragon? Ice dragon riding face, tell me how to lose? After breaking through this fortress tomorrow, I must let these arrogant elves join the ranks of natural disasters. I really want to know how noble I am." How would they feel seeing the rotting flesh and crawling maggots on their bodies!"
Although Baron Rivendell and Kel'Thuzad instinctively sensed something bad from Alsace's words, generally speaking, the prince's thinking was correct, and they were also very clear about the great strength of the ice dragon.
At the same time, the office of the Duke of Yuanxing Town
Charlemagne, who had returned to Quel'Thalas half a month ago, finally made all the preparations for the Battle of Mount Hyjal.
When he brought Aurelia back, he was relieved to see Vereesa and Lor'themar who were still alive and kicking. Seeing that the two were doing well with the help of Sean, Romance and others, Charlemagne also Instead of temporarily taking over the command from them, they ran on both sides of Yuanxing Town and Silver Moon City to make final preparations.
After the war started, most of the civilians in the entire southern forest had spontaneously sought refuge in Yuanxing Town. From the previous orc war, they knew a common sense that Yuanxing Town was the safest place in the entire southern forest.
This is indeed the case. Since Alsace did not restrain the huge army of undead, some wandering undead had already attacked many villages during the war. Even the Temple of Desom was attacked to a certain extent. Under the counterattack of the defenders, these small groups of undead were quickly killed.
When Charlemagne received the news of the arrival of the ice dragon, he was working with Onyxia and Lisson to appease the refugees in the town.
Anxiety will spread. Some elves whose villages were attacked by the undead brought a sense of panic to the entire town of Yuanxing. Fortunately, Charlemagne used his family name to guarantee that they would be safe and sound. The restless people gradually stabilized.
Leeson frowned and said worriedly, "The Lord Duke's promise can only temporarily appease the people. This kind of situation where relatives die and then get up to attack themselves is too easy to cause panic. If the war is not over for a day, their uneasiness will be over. It will increase day by day, and the next outbreak will not be so easy to deal with."
"Leeson is right. Provoking negative emotions is our black dragon's strong point. From my experience, these people will explode again after at most 20 days."
Charlemagne and Alleria listened to Onyxia's confident words, and they both looked dumbfounded.
“Is this experience something you can be proud of…”
Immediately, Charlemagne crossed his arms and murmured, "But you are right, we can't continue to let these undead run around, it's almost time to give Alsace the final blow."
"Report!"
At this moment, a panicked voice came from outside the door. Charlemagne fixed his eyes and said calmly, "Come in."
A male elf dressed as a ranger opened the door and walked in. Before Charlemagne could ask, he shouted in a panic, "My lord! The reinforcements from the natural disaster have arrived. It is a group of gargoyles and bone dragons flying in the sky!"
Charlemagne and the few people in the room looked at each other, and nodded heavily to the ranger, "Thank you, I will send reinforcements immediately."
"yes!"
After the rangers who reported the message retreated, Charlemagne solemnly said to Lisson and Onyxia, "The things in the territory are temporarily handed over to you two. Now that the Scourge Air Force has arrived, it is time for them to leave Quel'Thalas." .”
"yes!"
"Okay, my dear master~"
Ignoring Onyxia's routine temptation, Charlemagne stood up and said to Alleria, "Aurelia, you lead the Far Travelers to the front to temporarily stabilize the battle situation, and I will go to the Temple of Daisom to let Chaser Wings attack, by the way..."
Seeing that Charlemagne teleported away, all three of Alleria showed looks of anticipation on their faces, "Is it finally going to be officially activated?"
When Alleria led the Farstriders to the front line, the gargoyles had already begun to attack the defense line together with the ground troops. At the same time, facing the attacks from both sides of the open space, the defenders were in a hurry. Some soldiers who could not react in time were even killed by the gargoyles Caught mid-air and let out a shrill scream.
Although few flying troops have rushed in after Sean opened the barrier, it is unknown how long it can last under the continuous breathing of the ice dragons outside and the impact of the meat grinder.
Fortunately, Vereesa and Lor'themar commanded well, and Alleria temporarily stabilized the morale of the army after bringing in the new force, but both attackers and defenders knew that as long as the ice dragon was still attacking, it was only a matter of time before the fortress fell.
"Zhi!"
Following a large number of resounding cries of eagles, the Sunstrider Wings stationed at the Temple of Desom arrived quickly under the leadership of Saladley. Their goal was very clear, that is, those gargoyles that were still attacking the barrier. As for the ice dragon …
Just when the battle was at a stalemate, a strange sound of mechanism operation suddenly reached the ears of everyone on the battlefield. Compared with the expectant expressions of the elves, Alsace and Baron Rivendell looked bewildered at this moment.
"What's that sound?"
As if answering Alsace's question, a streamlined spaceship in the sky suddenly broke through the clouds and entered everyone's sight. At this time, the position of the bow of this beautiful spaceship with the Phoenix flag of Quel'Thalas printed on its side has already stretched out. A thick and long barrel emerged.
In the bridge, Valela, who temporarily served as the CIC (combat information center), reported the situation with a crisp voice.
"The operating rate of Lieyang has reached 60%, and the energy filling rate of the main gun "Genesis" is 85%. It is estimated that there are still 10, 9...0 seconds before the charging is completed. The main gun is fully charged and is waiting to be fired."
Charlemagne stood up from the captain's seat in high spirits, stretched his right hand and ordered excitedly, "Target the ice dragon group, adjust the angle so that it doesn't hit the ground, and launch the 'Genesis'!"
"Yes, the main gun 'Genesis' is fired!"
