Since Sarlayan came to the Shadowlands, every Marquis he's met has said the same thing about Gamal.
idiot.
Sarlayan didn't know how he got this contemptuous name. He had not seen the rare and highly intelligent Marquis of Hatred with his own eyes, so it was difficult to make a hasty conclusion.
Sarlayan's wish to see Gamal was soon granted.
I don’t know if the usurper faction planted high-level spies in the military camp of the military leader faction. Not long after Caixus set off, Gamal took the initiative to launch a hysterical and crazy counterattack.
The strength of the Creation Academy is the construction of various war weapons and fortifications. In terms of combat effectiveness alone, they are only better than the Intelligence Academy and the Logistics Academy of Decay. They are not at all superior to the Soul Selection Academy and the Ritual Academy. opponents in the hospital.
Sindani is very good at carrying water, and the troops she allocates to the sages account for exactly 50% of the total troops of the Ritual Secret Academy, which is a precise bet.
With the assistance of these elite lichs, the Creation Secret Academy relied on the assistance of war weapons to gallop on the battlefield for a long time, and was even at odds with the Soul Selection Secret Academy for a time.
But this is just an illusion after all, because the Soul Selection Secret Academy has not taken any serious action at all. It only sent a new baron to command part of the troops, and it was more to use this actual battle to train troops.
When Caixus personally took over the command, the originally balanced situation changed instantly, and Gamal's side had almost no room to fight back.
It's not that Durotan lacks the ability to lead troops.
There is a saying that among the orc tribe, there are only two and a half people who can truly be called skilled in military skills.
That half is the first-generation warchief Blackhand. In his normal state, Blackhand is quite charismatic and has very strong personal strength. He can subdue many rebellious clan chiefs including Grom Hellscream.
It's a pity that Blackhand is just a puppet chief supported by Gul'dan. In many cases, he has no control over the overall development of the tribe, so he can only be counted as half.
The other two were good brothers Durotan and Orgrim, who had been frequent guests in Draini cities during their youth and received formal military training.
Orgrim's overall view and military command ability have been clearly demonstrated in the war between the Horde and the Alliance that has lasted for several years.
Thrall, Durotan's son and future savior shaman, studied under Orgrim and learned superb military skills and a broad perspective on the overall situation.
Compared with Orgrim, Durotan also has excellent strategic vision, and leading the Frostwolf clan away from disputes is a typical example.
When the orcs who invaded Azeroth lost the catalyst of demon blood and became tired and lazy, and were driven away by the human army, the Frostwolf clan peacefully settled in the snowy mountains of Alterac, living a life isolated from the world. A life without contention.
If it weren't for the Bronzebeard Dwarves' desire to develop the Alterac Valley in the future, the Alliance would not have easily discovered the Frostwolf clan hiding in the snowy mountains.
Durotan saw the hidden dangers of the tribe earlier than Orgrim. As long as Gul'dan is still in power, the tribe cannot truly gain freedom. The so-called warchief is just a string in the hands of the warlocks who manipulate evil energy. puppet.
If he only considered his own clan, there was no need for Durotan to take the risk to inform Orgrim. He could hide in the snowy mountains and raise the young Guyin'er with his wife.
However, for the sake of the future of the entire orc tribe, Durotan embarked on this journey with an unknown future even though he knew there was danger, and ultimately lost his life because of it.
From the perspective of the alliance, if Durotan was not dead, he would definitely be a difficult enemy.
But in the eyes of those orcs who knew the inside story, Durotan was undoubtedly the hero of the tribe. It was precisely because of the intangible legacy he left behind that it would be logical for Thrall to become the warchief in the future.
After Caixus left, the battlefield command was transferred back to Durotan. Sarlayan finally met this legendary figure of the orc tribe in the central military account.
The Frostwolf clan is one of the few orc clans that has not drank the blood of demons. Durotan's skin color is the original brown color of the orcs known as the Sons of Stone.
He was holding a huge double-sided battle ax in his hand, and his whole body was full of muscles. His appearance alone looked full of power.
Unlike the other orcs Sharlayan had seen, Durotan wore a snow-white wolfskin cape.
This shawl did not remove the wolf skin on the head, and the open wolf mouth covered his forehead. The wolf teeth in the wolf mouth still looked sharp.
This unique shawl adds more wildness to Durotan.
Durotan, who had just retreated from the battlefield, was still breathing heavily. There were many scars on his soul body. It was obvious that he had just experienced a difficult battle.
Without the suppression of Caixus, the Marquis of Akalek, who was not strong in frontal combat alone, had a very difficult time fighting against the infinitely powerful Gamal.
Durotan also participated in this battle, and even though he was not the main attacker, he still had many wounds on his body.
Akalek, who returned with Durotan, was not seriously injured, but he looked very tired.
"Huh~" Akalek sat down at the round table with some depression: "That stupid pig has no idea why it's so crazy. It's like it will be dragged into the slaughterhouse tomorrow. It fights with no regard for defense."
Akalek is a thief, and his specialty is assassination and stealth. On a battlefield with thousands of people, his frontal combat capabilities cannot be compared with warriors like Gamal and Kexus.
To give a very realistic example, Caixus can use his rising anger to give himself defense power to withstand losses on the battlefield.
Akalek, who only wears light armor, cannot do it. He must devote his energy to avoiding hidden arrows, and part of his attention is distracted by the bad battlefield environment.
If Sharlayan's plan succeeds, the House of Creation will become truly alone.
Without the magical assistance provided by the lich from the Ritual Chamber, the Creation Chamber could not withstand the ferocious impact of the Soul Selection Chamber. It was only a matter of time before the fortress was breached.
Perhaps it was for this reason that Gamal rushed and fought like crazy, trying to carve out a bloody path before Caixus' diplomatic activities could make progress.
...Let’s call it a diplomatic activity, even though it is diplomacy using force.
The strength and endurance of the undead construct Abomination is astonishing. With the assistance of Durotan, Akalek barely blocked Gamal's first round of impact.
With his racial talent, it only took about ten minutes for Gamar to regain his strength and began to take the lead in charging on the battlefield. At this time, Durotan and Akalek's hands were still shaking due to excessive exertion.
Going to the battlefield in their current state and fighting Gamal would be tantamount to seeking death.
Caixus is out, Akalak is out of power, and Stradama is exempt from the game due to injury.
With the three marquises of Maldraxxus unable to fight, Sharlayan's team could only temporarily take over.
Sarlayan had many topics he wanted to discuss with Durotan, but now was obviously not the right time.
After completing the handover with Durotan and Akalek, Sarlayan took three confidants out of the military camp and truly stepped into the tragic battlefield near the Theater of Death.
Gamal is very eye-catching on the battlefield. The giant abomination that is more than 5 meters tall is wielding a battle ax and a chain blade to kill. No one on the battlefield can stop him.
Very obvious stitching marks can be seen on Gamal's body. Unlike other abominations equipped with multiple hands, Gamal only has two strong and powerful hands, and almost every blow can make a soldier lose his combat effectiveness.
Sarlayan frowned, pulled out Valajar's swords from behind and took a deep breath.
"We can't let him continue to be so rampant, otherwise the formation will be defeated by this giant beast sooner or later."
After reaching the demigod level, one single soldier has the ability to change the entire battle situation.
If there is no opponent in the same position to block him, Gamar alone can break through the encirclement net, thus affecting the overall situation on the battlefield.
Sarlayan looked solemnly at Onyxia, who was moving her arms: "Onyxia, you are the protagonist in this battle."
"Don't fight too aggressively. Carefully test Gamar's combat effectiveness first. We will fully assist you."
Onyxia nodded solemnly: "I will be careful."
There is also a strength gap between demigods and demigods, such as Malorne and Cenarius.
Both father and son are demigods, but their strengths are completely different.
Gamal, who was in Maldraxxus, was extremely experienced in fighting. Onyxia, who often fished, was still immature compared to him, and she didn't have much confidence in her heart.
Valeera patted her shoulder and comforted her: "Don't panic, we are here to help you. Our task is just to hold Gamal back. There is no need to fight him head-on."
Stellagosa had already taken out her meteor staff. Seeing that Gamar was about to break through the defense line, she started by pressing down on Gamar with five times the gravity, temporarily limiting his evil activities.
Sarlayan clenched his swords and reminded loudly: "Concentrate! The battle has begun!"
"Oni! Let's go first!"
