Although lava dogs are named "dogs", their life forms are completely different from dogs in the usual sense.
Since entering the Molten Core, the smallest lava dog Lalas has seen is at least the size of a carriage, and there are many lava dogs as huge as two-story huts.
Most of the "puppies" surrounding Magamanda, the king of lava dogs, are of standard lava dog size.
When the four high-end combat powers of Sharlayan, Stellagosa, Sylvanas and Liadrin faced off against King Magamanda, their lieutenants must lead their soldiers to block those large numbers. The "puppy".
Time was running out, and Moira, who was staying behind the entrance of the cave, had already sent a warning. It seemed that Gihenas had received news of the intruder and started to make some changes.
In order not to be eaten by the coalition forces led by a large number of fire elements from behind, Sarlayan and other commando members must get rid of Magmanda as soon as possible and concentrate their superior forces to deal with the flanking attack by Gikhnas.
"Come to Lars, I will leave the Rangers to your command for the time being."
Sylvanas bent her bow and nocked an arrow, lowered her focus slightly and prepared for the battle. She looked at Lalas with a serious look and said, "This is a practical test of your command ability. Don't let me down. Don't let me down." Let your comrades down."
Lalas had already expected that his second sister would definitely find an opportunity for him to lead the troops in actual combat during the assault on the Molten Core.
Taking a deep breath, Lalas tried to adjust his mood.
"I'll do my best."
Holding the bow tightly in his hand, Lalas pursed his lips and ordered loudly: "Rangers! Listen to my order, raise the bow, and be ready to shoot!"
Lor'themar Theron, the adjutant of the ranger force, has always had a low sense of presence. He had no objection to Sylvanas temporarily handing over command to Lyras, and even took the initiative to assist Lylas in temporarily commanding the entire army.
After all, the entire ranger force was founded by the Windrunner clan, and sooner or later the position of ranger general would be passed to Laras.
This wave, this wave is for Aqiang to please his future leader in advance.
"Boys, did you hear that? Obey the order!"
"Yes! Prepare to launch!"
At the same time, the paladins of the Morning Frontier Legion and the shield-wielding warriors of the Dark Iron Dwarves also formed their formations, ready to resist the impact of the large creatures.
Sarlayan finally looked back at the waiting coalition forces, nodded heavily to his three teammates and said: "Very good, the battle has officially begun!"
"charge!"
Due to the huge size of Magamanda, it is easy for people to misjudge the distance between it and it.
Before Sarlayan gave the order to start the battle, Magamanda took four stubby legs and rushed towards the direction of the coalition forces.
But in fact, this guy is still quite far away from the military formation established by the coalition forces. It is just because of the visual impact caused by the giant creature's sprint that people think it is already very close.
The high-temperature flames wrapped around Magamanda's body made it impossible for ordinary soldiers to withstand its attack, and it was difficult to even stand next to it.
In order to prevent Magamanda from causing a devastating impact on the military formation, Sarlayan first launched a reverse charge. With his strong physique and kinetic impact, he used a powerful and heavy jump to knock Magamanda in half. Stopped on the road.
At the same time, the Paladins and Black Iron Warriors at the front also collided with the first wave of Lava Dogs.
Thanks to the preparations made in advance, the front row soldiers carrying large shields gritted their teeth and withstood this wave of offensive.
The rangers, mages and black iron spellcasters in the back row took the opportunity to launch long-range fire coverage at the lava dogs.
At this moment, Sarlayan no longer had time to pay attention to the battlefield on the other side.
As seen with the naked eye, the temperature next to Magmanda, whose body was wrapped in flames, was quite terrifying, and even Issalayan's physical condition felt extremely uncomfortable.
This was because he drank the refining fire resistance potion in advance.
The refined potion is more effective than the fire resistance potion distributed to ordinary soldiers, but the corresponding cost will be higher, making it difficult to popularize.
In this battle to encircle and suppress Magamanda, Sarlayan was the only one who attracted hatred at the front.
Although Paladin Liadrin can be considered a melee unit, her armor cannot withstand the high temperature around Magamanda for a long time, so Sharlayan placed her in a slightly rear position to serve as a mobile combat force.
In most cases, Liadrin is just a moving buff machine.
Her biggest role is to switch the Paladin's various auras and blessings depending on the situation, provide buffs for other combatants, and use Holy Light to heal Sarlayan when he is under high pressure.
When necessary, Liadrin needs to briefly push to the front line to give Sharlayan some breathing time.
When Sharlayan withstood Magamanda and stopped it from moving forward, Sylvanas, who had already accumulated her strength, released her bowstring without hesitation.
With the faint sound of the arrow breaking through the sound barrier, the first aimed shot pierced Magamanda's left eye socket in an instant.
"Ouch!
"
Magamanda, which had an arrow in its eye, let out an angry roar, and the flames on its body became more intense with the help of anger. The nearest Sarlayan felt like he might be scorched at any time.
Facing such a super-large enemy, it is the right choice to attack the exposed organs such as the eyes and nose first.
However, Magamanda is essentially an elemental creature, and the weaknesses of flesh-and-blood creatures are of little significance to it.
Lava dogs do not need eyes in the conventional sense to see things, but use the unique perception ability of elemental creatures to capture the surrounding movements. The two flaming eyes are just decorations.
Although Sylvanas's aimed shot caused Magamanda to feel pain, it was far from fatal and failed to cause much substantial damage to it.
"Tsk~" Sylvanas smacked her lips in displeasure: "Sure enough, it's not that simple."
Stellagosa was not affected by Sylvanas' mood. After reciting the incantation, her hands began to glow with deep purple arcane light.
"Gravity!"
Magamanda was preparing to break through Sarlayan's interception and charge towards Sylvanas who had caused damage to it. The sudden 5 times gravity pressure made its huge body suddenly sink, and the ground stepped on by its four feet also collapsed. There are varying degrees of invagination.
Fighting this giant creature, Sarlayan in human form can only act as a pedicure master.
This clearly doesn't fit his positioning of attracting hatred in this fight.
After stopping Magamanda, Sarlayan transformed into a giant bear that was several heads shorter than Magamanda.
Although the size of the reminders from both sides are still unequal, this more conspicuous giant bear can at least attract Magamanda's attention.
"Ouch!"
The usual starting point is to use dragon roar to buff, and use the damage ability of the roar to shock and provoke Magamanda.
As expected, Magamanda, as an elemental creature, also had a sense of territory. Faced with the giant bear that suddenly appeared in front of it, it did not hesitate to turn its attention from the little bug that hurt itself to Sarlayan.
"Roar!"
Temporarily restrained by gravity, Magamanda was unable to move. It simply took advantage of the elemental creature's ability to quickly absorb surrounding elements, opened its mouth and sprayed a large piece of high-temperature flame towards Sarlayan.
Sarlayan braved the flames and pushed forward. During the charge, he could even smell the burning smell of his steel-needle-like mane being ignited.
"boom!"
The collision between the two giant beasts made a huge noise. The giant bear that sacrificed its life knocked Magamanda's big mouth that was spitting fire away. When Magamanda gasped unconsciously, its body There was even a small-scale flame backflow nearby.
Sarlayan was unyielding and took advantage of Magamanda's unstable center of gravity. He stood up and waved his two giant palms to hit Magamanda's big head in turn.
Magmanda was shaken from side to side by the beating and was a little dizzy. Due to its huge size, since its birth, it has rarely encountered such an experience of being beaten in the face.
After Stellagosa's gravity spell failed, Magamanda, who had regained her freedom, became furious and opened her maw that was filled with lava and tried to bite Sharlayan.
Although he has transformed into a giant bear, Sarlayan is still a humanoid creature after all, and he will not be like a silly blind bear who only knows how to deal with damage.
Seeing Magamanda's ferocious mouth bite him, Sarlayan immediately retracted his attack posture. The giant bear's two hind legs stepped on the ground and took two steps back.
"Card!"
Magamanda's sharp teeth failed to bite anything when they were closed, and Sarlayan, who avoided the bite, slapped it hard on the nose with his backhand.
"Ouch!
"
…
On the other side, Moira, who stayed behind the melting cave, looked uneasily at another melting cave in the distance. A large amount of fire elements were pouring out of the cave entrance.
Obviously, Gyhenas had discovered something was wrong, and mobilized his direct subordinates to prepare to rush to the rescue of Lucifron and Magamanda.
At this moment, Magamanda's shrill screams came from the huge cave behind Moira.
Moira just looked back and immediately began to call the troops behind to get ready for the battle with a serious expression.
"Dark Iron Warriors! Show your courage! Don't let the high elf allies underestimate us!"
"Before the assault force takes out Magamanda, you have to hold the line for me at your own risk!"
"yes!
"
