Although Shattrath City has a population of more than 700,000, most of the people are refugees who have come here to avoid disaster and have long lost their will to fight.
Counting the reinforcements urgently dispatched by Windsor from Nagrand and Hellfire Peninsula, the defenders on Shattrath's defense line only numbered more than 10,000 people, mainly composed of Mag'har orcs, draenei and Stormwind. Kingdom soldiers.
In a very short period of time, the number of faceless men who are still growing has exceeded one hundred thousand, and the vanguard of ten thousand troops has rushed to the vicinity of the defense line.
"Smash you!"
Gruul, who had been impatient for a long time, was the first to join the battle with his eldest son Du En. The thick-skinned Gronn completely gave up on defense, and he could kill at least two digits of enemies with a casual punch and lift of his legs. .
In this large-scale melee, Gruul didn't even need to consider the fighting skills that Sarlayan had taught him before. He was done with it. Anyway, he could hit the enemy no matter how hard he hit.
When Onyxia spread her wings and took off, Medivh, who was standing on the high ground behind, calmly began to prepare a large spell.
With these powerful demigods sitting at the rear, Sarlayan did not think that the faceless men alone could break through the impregnable defense line arranged in advance, but it would take a lot of time to deal with it.
On the undersea battlefield, Sarlayan basically confirmed a fact.
Goen'am, who forcibly adapted to the high-concentration evil energy environment, has long lost her mind and the possibility of continuing to grow. Now she is just a beast struggling to survive.
This kind of enemy without the ability to think independently is much easier to deal with than the complete ancient god with high intelligence.
Gao En Amukong has great power, but he is unable to fully exert it. He just follows his instinct and attacks randomly.
Sarlayan's mood was a bit complicated. He originally planned to use this naval battle with the ancient god to preview the future decisive battle with Enzos.
But now it seems that the gap between Goun'am and Enzos is very big, and this preview may not achieve the expected effect.
The relevant considerations only passed by for a moment, and Sarlayan did not want to be distracted during the battle.
Goun'am instinctively identified Sarlayan as the individual who threatened him the most.
The tentacles that kept protruding from the depths of the sea ignored Vashj and Adal who fell behind, and whipped around Sarlayan crazily. Some of the weirdly shaped tentacles could also emit evil energy rays from the tips.
Sarlayan's flexibility in the water was far inferior to that of Vashj. He chose to use his strengths and avoid weaknesses, minimize swimming time, and use space to teleport forward a little bit.
However, due to the effect of spell recoil, Sarlayan could not always use flash to rush forward without any scruples, and he had to spend time killing those annoying tentacles.
Under the ebb and flow of one another, Vaschi and Adal, who were charging at full speed, gradually caught up, and the three of them re-formed into a small team formation.
With Vashj's help, the pressure on Sarlayan who came forward was significantly reduced, and Adal also took the opportunity to once again strengthen the already shaky protective barrier on Sarlayan's body.
However, during the time when the three of them formed a formation and regained their strength, it seemed that endless tentacles completely surrounded the sea area where they were.
If it weren't for the light spell that Adal released centered on himself, nothing would be visible on the dark seabed.
'Continuing to consume it like this is not the answer. You must create an opportunity to kill with one strike. '
Sarlayan told Adal and Vashchi of his impromptu plan with gestures, and both of them expressed their support without hesitation.
'In that case... let's take a gamble. '
Under Sarlayan's command, Adal built an extremely strong small defensive barrier.
Both Sharlayan and Vashj could feel the vibrations of the barrier's surface being constantly attacked by countless tentacles, but these attacks were powerless against Adal's turtle shell.
At least before Adal's own energy reserves are exhausted, there is no need to worry about the poor ancient god being able to break through his defense.
Sarlayan's dragon tribe boy stared straight into the depths of the sea. The eagle eye technique penetrated the seemingly endless "forest" of tentacles in front of him, and met the sight of Goun'am's one-eyed man who was full of madness. .
Placing his hands on Vashj's smooth, scaly shoulders, Sharlayan established a temporary soul link with her through direct physical contact.
Soul links cannot be established casually. It requires a high degree of tacit understanding between both parties to achieve a two-way link.
Until now, the only people who can connect with Sarlayan's soul are his relatives and friends, and Vashj should be regarded as the first outsider with a relatively distant relationship.
This method of trickery cannot last long. As soon as Sarlayan lets go of his hand, the already unstable link will be disconnected immediately.
Sarlayan did not expect to maintain it for a long time. He only needed to temporarily share his vision with Vashchi, so that her vision could pass through the tentacles in front of her and directly lock on the location of Goun'am's eyes.
One of Vashj's hands held the staff and began to cast spells and enchantments. The other hand slowly opened the longbow, an artifact given to her by Queen Azshara.
As the bowstring is covered with a light gray halo, the physical arrows resting on the bowstring are also dyed with the same color.
This physical arrow is also extraordinary. It comes from Queen Azshara's treasure house and has extremely strong armor-breaking and demon-breaking effects.
Azshara once held most of ancient Kalimdor, and every year a large number of highborne nobles would provide Her Majesty with the secret treasures discovered in their respective territories.
Therefore, the quantity and quality of the treasures stored in the treasure house of Azshara's Eternal Palace are incalculable to modern people. Just taking out any one can make some countries with weak foundations regard it as a national treasure.
The arrow on Vashj's string doesn't have a fancy name, it's called the Demon-Breaking Arrow.
This is a one-time precious consumable that cannot be recycled once fired.
But correspondingly, the power of the Demon-Breaking Arrow is also very terrifying. It can simply and crudely block the opponent's energy flow when it is shot into the enemy's body, creating a demon-banning effect in a short period of time.
That's right, a forbidden demon with all attributes.
Regardless of whether it is evil energy or void, as long as you are hit by this arrow, you will completely lose the ability to control energy within the effective time.
The spell Vashj enchanted on the arrow was not a large-scale spell. Its only function was to greatly increase the force of the arrow when it leaves the string, and it could also increase the range in disguise.
With the guidance of the soul link, Vashchi locked the target and shot the demon-breaking arrow without hesitation after completing the charge.
The arrow from the string lost its momentum and tore apart the densely packed tentacles like a sharp cone of light, rushing straight towards the target position.
Under the expectant gazes of Sharlayan and Vashj, the Demon-Breaking Arrow hit the target as expected.
"Ouch!
"
Goen'am, whose one eye was shot out, screamed hysterically. The flow of energy in her body was temporarily blocked, and the large number of tentacles controlled by her remotely fell down.
After shooting this arrow that gathered all his strength, Vashj was temporarily out of strength and had to stay in place for a while to recover.
Sarlayan did not miss this golden opportunity.
Before he continued to charge forward, Adal replenished Sharlayan's many buffing spells one last time.
After locating the position of Goun'am who was spraying blood on the seabed, and taking advantage of this guy's temporary loss of resistance, Sarlayan launched the long-distance teleportation technique for the first time since the war began.
Through the precise positioning of the eagle eye technique, he was teleported directly in front of Gao En'am's exploded eyeball.
Retracting the wide-open Valajar Great Sword, Sarlayan instantly assembled the Staff of Balance, which was more suitable for piercing, injecting a large amount of colorful protective power into it, and assuming the best charging posture for throwing a spear.
'Let's go!
'
[You are too courageous. Let me teach you a line for the spear-throwing ultimate move. 】
[This blow penetrates the stars! 】
[It always feels...a bit familiar? 】
[Why not - here it is! Sparta! 】
Sarlayan had no time to pay attention to the usual barrage of tricks. He charged up and threw the Balance Staff like a spear, following the wound made by the Demon-breaking Arrow further into the core of Gao En'am's body.
A few seconds after the Balance Staff entered the body, Sarlayan could clearly feel that Gao En'am, who was still struggling to death, had completely lost his activity.
To be precise, her soul died and was completely annihilated by the death power contained in the Staff of Balance.
Ansu, who was left fighting in front of Shattrath's defense line, was suddenly shaken, and an indescribable strange feeling filled his body. His movements were a little inaccurate for a moment, and the shadow spell he just cast almost accidentally injured an ally.
"This is……"
Ansu's short wings began to expand at a speed visible to the naked eye, and his body, which was very small compared to Rukhma, also quickly grew in size like a balloon.
"Setai's curse...is lifted?"
After a moment of confusion due to the huge changes in his body, Ansu quickly came back to his senses with surprise.
"So, Sarlayan and the others succeeded?!"
