All the mortal armies who are interested in participating in the Battle of Quicksand have arrived, but the Dragon Clan, which has always been prone to procrastination, is still nowhere to be seen.
According to Malfurion, the only dragon king who is confirmed to participate in the Battle of Quicksand this time is Ysera.
Nozdormu was missing as always, and Krasus declined Malfurion's invitation on the grounds that Alexstrasza was still weak.
As for the Blue Dragon King Malygos...
If he hadn't helped him like a reckless man in Grim Batol last time, Deathwing might not have been able to escape.
In view of this, Malfurion did not even plan to notify Malygos himself, but only said hello to the blue dragon king's advisor, Alecgos.
Although only one Dragon King will be present in person, all four colored dragons will show their best.
As for the green dragons, except Isarios who stayed at Wyrmrest Temple as an ambassador, other green dragons with names will accompany the queen to the war.
The red dragon clan, headed by Alexstrasza's eldest consort Talanistrasz, also recalled many clansmen scattered around the world, intending to work together to rescue their crown prince.
Anachronos volunteered for the bronze dragon clan, and Solidomi was happy to have some leisure time. He stayed to sit in the Cave of Time, leaving most of the adult dragons he could find to his eldest son.
The last blue dragon clan is relatively shabby, and its number is far less than that of the other three-color dragons.
But everyone understands the current situation of Blue Dragon.
It was not easy for them to survive the catastrophe of genocide when the dragon souls inspired by Deathwing attacked them head-on. After thousands of years of cultivation, they barely recovered a little bit of their vitality.
Alecos did not launch a large-scale call and followed the principle of voluntariness. Those who are willing to participate in the Quicksand War can set out with him, and those who are unwilling will not be forced.
In the final pre-war meeting, the generals of all ethnic groups reached a consensus after some discussions.
First, work together to clear out the low-level bugs in the ruins on the ground. After the dragons arrive, they will select elites to launch a general attack on the Temple of Ahn'Qiraj.
Even with the help of the dragons, Sharlayan still has doubts about how to deal with C'Thun.
The ancient gods are a parasitic planet. As long as Azeroth is immortal, these ancient gods will not really die. It is just a matter of how long it takes to resurrect.
"Forget it, let the big boss worry about this kind of problem. I can't control it anyway."
"But...why haven't mother and father come yet? Are you going to encounter any emergencies?"
…
In the early morning of the next day, the coalition forces of all ethnic groups gathered early and followed their respective leaders to the platform where the Beetle Gong was located.
Malfurion stood alone by the Beetle Gong, holding the Quicksand Scepter tightly, and glanced at the soldiers of all races present.
The war is about to begin, and the mental states of the soldiers vary.
Some people are looking forward to it, some are uneasy, some are excited, and some are calm.
After fully observing the changes in the demeanor of the people in the audience, Malfurion let out his voice and began his final mobilization speech.
"Warriors of all races in Azeroth, I am Malfurion Stormrage, the archdruid of the night elves. Thank you for your willingness to devote your efforts to maintaining the security of Azeroth."
"Nearly a thousand years ago, the night elves once fought a war with the Jira Empire in this desert."
"With the help of the Dragon Clan, we were lucky enough to win."
"A thousand years have passed, and the Qiraji Empire, trapped within the wall of quicksand, has been standing still, while warriors determined to protect Azeroth have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain."
"I am honored to be elected as the commander-in-chief of the Quicksand Alliance. It is an honor to end this extended battle of the Quicksand War with your help!"
"I declare!"
Malfurion raised the Quicksand Scepter in his hand high and continued to encourage in an passionate tone: "The War of Quicksand is here to restart! The evil god's lackeys will surely face defeat, for the sake of Azeroth!"
"For Azeroth!!"
As the soldiers cheered in unison, Malfurion solemnly waved the Quicksand Scepter and sounded the Beetle Gong.
"Boom!"
The restless bugs began to squeeze forward desperately, but the Qiraji Empire's senior officials hiding underground were surprised to find that the wall of quicksand had not disappeared and was still locking them within the seal. C'Thun could not feel it either. Until the seal is even loosened.
Malfurion's face was filled with tears: "Think about it? It's not that easy. From today on, you can't enter or leave the wall of quicksand!"
"Warriors, attack! Let these bugs see the depth of Azeroth!"
Some of the impatient generals couldn't wait any longer.
After receiving the order from the commander-in-chief, Falstad immediately led his gryphon knights into the air.
Shaun Moonclaw also led a large number of Claw Druids to start running at full speed, and the Guardian Druids commanded by Koda had to keep up. valley
Kael'thas calmed down his turbulent emotions and calmly gave orders to the three legions.
"Arcane Puppet goes first! Stay connected with other allies. In this battle, we will show the world the power of Quel'Thalas!"
In a battle like this between large armies, the power of an individual is small.
Sarlayan, who had never received formal military training, did not rashly join the battle. He sat in the middle army with Valeela and others and witnessed the first wave of confrontation between the coalition forces and their worm-pulling people.
After some running-in, the armies of all ethnic groups formed a preliminary tacit understanding.
After the arrows composed of structures such as ancient war trees and arcane golems rushed through the wall of quicksand, the ferocious Qiraji immediately pounced on them.
The structure doesn't know the pain, and with a large number of enemies attached to it, it can still push forward firmly on the front line.
Cairn Bloodhoof, standing in front of the tauren array, raised the totem pole and shouted in a loud voice: "Shuharu! It's our turn, charge with me!"
After the structures pushed out a certain space at the door, the tauren knight riding the Kodo beast launched a charge while beating the war drum.
The Kodo cavalry is different from the human war horse cavalry, and is far inferior in terms of sprint speed and explosive power.
However, relying on the huge body and heavy mass of the Kodo beasts, the breakthrough power of this group of heavy cavalry was quite terrifying, and they forced their way out of the insect swarm.
The gryphon knights of the Wildhammer dwarves also arrived at this time and immediately fought with the flying insect men in the air. The thunder caused by the Storm Hammer could be seen everywhere over the battlefield.
The archer troops headed by Vereesa pointed their bows into the air at the same time.
"Shoot in the air! Cover the Griffin Knight!"
There was no need to deliberately aim at the densely packed flying insectoids in the sky. The archers only needed to follow Vereesa's orders to shoot at specific areas to achieve large results.
The threat of low-level insects in the Qiraji Empire is not strong. In the previous actual combat training, the coalition forces have basically understood their combat effectiveness.
After using the three axes in front of them to clear out the space, the high elves' mage troops and Kul Tiras' artillery began to show off their power.
Kael'thas, who holds the ancestral artifact Flame Strike, personally serves as the formation's eye, and dozens of magisters chant incantations at the same time.
A large number of red magic meteors began to appear in the sky above the battlefield, and the sky fire with long tail flames crashed into the insect swarm. A wide range of combined spells cleared a blank area on the battlefield in a short time.
Kul Tiras' artillery forging technology is the best in Azeroth. For today's battle, Daelin specially transported dozens of large-caliber artillery from his country to Kalimdor and set them up in advance in front of the gate of the Wall of Quicksand. .
"Boom! Boom!"
The powerful cross-covering fire finally shook the gate entrance blocked by the bugs. The leading tauren warriors and guardian druids seized a leading position with the assistance of a large number of amplification spells.
Malfurion clenched his staff excitedly: "Very good, let's go in!"
This wave of enemies blocking the door is the first difficulty. As long as they can be defeated, the entrance to Ahn'Qiraj will be firmly in the hands of the coalition forces. They can advance and attack, and retreat and defend.
Of course, the coalition soldiers who were killed at this time would definitely not retreat. Under the leadership of their respective generals, they bravely continued to advance.
After several rounds of spells and artillery bombardments, the originally invisible insect army gradually became thinner.
The twin emperors who were sitting in the underground palace were very angry about this, and the defenders at the gate did not hold on for as long as they expected.
But the matter has come to this, and it is useless to say more.
Sword King Vicnilas immediately ordered: "Let the front army retreat and lead the enemy into the ruins with complex terrain!"
"Ahn'Qiraj is our home, our home ground. We have no retreat. Let these arrogant mortals see the true strength of the Qiraji Empire!"
Using Eagle Eye to watch the entire occupation, Sharlayan discovered that the insectoids who retreated to the ruins of Ahn'Qiraj were acting strangely.
"Valeera, did you see that?"
"Well, something's not quite right."
Through the soul link that connects them to each other, Valeela can borrow Sharlayan's vision.
Sarlayan is naturally sensitive to the battlefield situation, but due to the lack of necessary military knowledge, he can only feel that something is wrong, but cannot tell where the problem lies.
Malfurion, who was in command of the central army, also noticed the retreat of the bugmen. Having experienced the last battle in Quicksand, Malfurion immediately understood their plan.
"It's coming...let the warriors in the front row be on alert!"
"Inform Falstad to be aware of enemy air support!"
Some dark figures could be vaguely seen in the ruins of Ahn'Qiraj, and Malfurion's face was as heavy as water.
"Anubisas, Obsidian Destroyer..."
"The night elves will never fail in the same place twice!"
