Once Magamanda died, the fighting spirit of those under her command plummeted.
In the past, they could be encouraged by Magamanda to launch a crazy attack on the coalition's military formation, but now they are unable to even fight back, and all they want to do is turn around and run for their lives.
"I know! I'm working hard!"
Lalas pulled out an aimed shot and sniped down the last large lava dog that was still resisting.
Under his order, the Paladins and Black Iron Shield warriors who had been holding on to the front finally put down their shields and began to advance.
The coalition forces had long since blocked the entrance to the cave, and the lava dogs still running around were destined to have no way to escape.
In order to ensure the smooth operation of the raiding team, Sharlayan only left 500 elite Dark Iron dwarves for Moira. He was worried that Moira, as a newbie on the battlefield, would not be able to hold the defense line for a long time.
"Stella and I will go first. Sylvanas and Liadrin, you stay and watch Lyras, and help him clean up the mess if necessary."
Sylvanas nodded: "No problem. After taking care of the remaining lava dogs, we will rush over as soon as possible. You must also be careful."
Since she said she would temporarily hand over the command to Lyras, Sylvanas would not intervene on the spot.
She and Liadrin are two powerful legendary combatants. After the two joined the battle, the speed of the coalition's harvest of enemies was significantly accelerated.
Sarlayan and Little Xingxing looked at each other, no words needed, and they both ran out of the cave along the way they came.
The way to Magamanda's lair requires passing through a closed molten cave with twists and turns. It was in this molten cave that Sarlayan was attacked by the flame imps before.
Due to the existence of this closed molten cave, the coalition forces isolated on both sides of the cave could not hear the fighting from the other side...unless there was a voice as loud as Magamanda.
After quickly passing through the unguarded molten cave, what appeared in front of Sarlayan and Stellagosa was a fierce battle scene.
All kinds of fire elemental creatures are frantically attacking the defense line built by the Black Iron Dwarves. At least a tall fire demon giving orders can be clearly seen in the center of the thousands of fire elemental troops.
[That guy should be Gihenas. How dare you jump out so blatantly to gain presence? Deal with him! 】
Sarlayan twitched the corners of his mouth and smiled without any warmth on his face.
"Ha~ Jihenas, thank you for taking the initiative to come and give me the head. It also saved me the time of searching everywhere."
Perhaps Gyhenas was full of confidence in Magamanda and Lucifron, believing that his two colleagues could easily deal with the Black Iron traitors who invaded the molten cave.
This guy has a fearless attitude, and he is very arrogant among the fire element army, dancing and giving orders.
Since Gyhenas wanted to die, of course Sarlayan, who was simmering with anger at the thick-skinned Magamanda, would help him.
"Stella!"
"give it to me."
Without Sarlayan's words, Stellagosa consciously began to prepare large-scale spells.
As a member of the blue dragon clan, Stellagosa's total magic power is much greater than that of mortal archmages of the same level.
Although she had just experienced a tough battle, she was not the main attacker in the strict sense after all, and she still had a lot of energy left.
As Stellagosa stopped in place and began to recite a long spell, a large number of blue-white meteors gradually gathered in the sky above the Molten Core.
Moira, who was busy directing the battle, noticed something strange above her head, and looked back at the entrance of the molten cave as if she had some realization.
"Thank you for your hard work, Her Majesty the Queen. Leave the rest to us."
Sarlayan, who passed by Moira, left these words behind and continued to rush forward.
At the same time, the arcane meteors that covered the dense battlefield began to fall one by one. Each meteor that hit the fire element army would trigger a small-scale magic explosion.
Estellagosa's current strength is not yet able to destroy the army as easily as a demigod-level adult blue dragon, but she can still use large-scale spells to disrupt the battlefield situation and gain an advantage for her own soldiers.
The fire elements were stunned by the arcane meteors falling from the sky, and Gihenas also realized that something was wrong. This group of traitors had high-end combat power and took action.
However, the properties of these spells puzzled Gikhnas.
As far as he knew, the dark iron dwarves enslaved by the fire element practiced fire spells, which happened to be attributes that could not cause harm to the owner of the fire element.
The fire element has always strictly controlled the development of Dark Iron dwarf spellcasters, not allowing them to learn any type of spell except the fire element.
"Could it be..."
Kyhenas was not stupid, and he quickly guessed the reason.
"Are there outsiders assisting the Black Iron traitors?"
"Correct answer, but unfortunately there is no reward."
Chichi's joking voice caused the scales all over his body to widen. He slid his snake body back while looking in the direction of the previous voice with a horrified expression.
There was nothing, Gyhenas could only see his subordinates who were knocked unconscious.
"Pretend to be a ghost, get out of here!"
The embarrassment and anger of Gikhnas raised his hands in the air, and with himself as the center, a large-scale rain of fire fell from the sky.
This spell cannot cause any damage to the fire element that is immune to fire. The purpose of Jihenas is to force out the uninvited guests who have invaded his side.
Of course, Sarlayan would not foolishly keep his human form and rush directly in front of Gichnas.
Perhaps one day in the future he would be able to ignore the military's obstruction and behead enemy generals, but at least not now.
As he passed by Moira, Sharlayan transformed into a black panther and started sneaking.
Taking advantage of Stellagosa's meteor spell with astonishing light and shadow effects to attract the attention of the fire element, Sarlayan unknowingly approached Gichnas who was thinking about countermeasures.
Sarlayan, who was well versed in psychological warfare, deliberately approached Gihenas to tease him, and then immediately withdrew from the expected spell coverage of the barrage.
Just like the information provided by the barrage, Gihenas's instant fire rain technique is very powerful and has a wide range.
If he stayed with Gikhnas and fought him closely, the falling fire rain would not be able to hurt him, but it would add a lot of trouble to his enemies in the battle, creating an absolutely advantageous environment for Gikhnas.
However, such a large-scale spell will inevitably have a strong spell recoil, which is what the barrage calls the skill CD, and cannot be used continuously in a short period of time.
Sarlayan tricked out Gikhnas's great skill like a thief, keeping stealth and hiding outside the range of the spell, and waited until the rain of fire ended before striking out quickly like a cheetah preying on prey.
To assassinate enemy generals deep into enemy lines, be sure to kill with one hit and then escape immediately.
Once you don't move quickly enough and are left behind by the army, it won't be that easy to break out.
Gihenas was not stupid. The fire rain failed to hit the target. He immediately realized the opponent's plan and wanted to hide under the protection of his fire demon guards before the fire rain ended.
However, for Sarlayan, who had already locked on the hunting target, Jihenas' sense of worry was of no use, or in other words, he acted too late.
In order to give orders more conveniently in the center of the army, Kirhenas stood on a high raised black rock, a short distance away from his guards.
The appearance of the fire demon is similar to that of Naga to a certain extent. They have the upper body of a humanoid creature but no legs. The body is supported by a long snake tail.
The special body structure makes it very convenient for the fire demon to move through the hot lava, but in contrast, it is very inconvenient for the fire demon to move ashore in uneven environments.
It is easy to climb up the rock, but it is not that easy to get down just by relying on the heavy snake tail of Jihenas.
When Gikhnas was about to flee, Sarlayan's transformed black panther suddenly ejected and rushed behind Gikhnas before breaking out of stealth.
"Thank you for your overly strong desire to express yourself, and then...goodbye."
Fire Lord Gihenas is a pure spellcaster. If there is a human shield in front of the enemy, he can hide behind and act as a heavy spell turret.
But because he committed suicide, none of the fire demon guards were with him, and Sharlayan seized this fleeting opportunity.
"Bah!"
The neck of Gihenas, who was extremely weak in melee combat, was easily bitten off by the suddenly rising black panther.
Without waiting for the shocked fire demon guards to rush over to protect the Lord, Sarlayan let go of the dead Gihenas and jumped back a step, just in time to enter the temporary space prepared for him by Stellagosa in advance. aisle.
When Sharlayan returned to the rear of the battlefield through the tricky folding space, Sylvanas and Liadrin happened to come over with their army.
Without the fire lord Gihenas to take command from the center, the fire elemental army that had been so powerful before suddenly fell into chaos, and there was no suspense about the next battle.
This was the first time that Moira came to the front line to direct the battle. After confirming with her own eyes that the fire element was beginning to collapse, she relaxed her tense nerves.
Seeing Sharlayan and Stellagosa walking together with concerned expressions on their faces, Moira smiled bitterly and shook her head at them.
"Now I understand the difficulties faced by my father and Uncle Muradin. Commanding an army to fight is really not that simple."
