boom! ! !
After the huge roar that shook the ground, the Stormwind City Alliance troops huddled in the defense camp on the outer line of Nanhai Town sadly discovered that another huge boulder came from the distant sky and directly hit one of their bodies. On the wooden arrow tower, while killing and injuring countless coalition shooters, the enemy once again smashed the wooden tower that they had built with great difficulty for two days...
"Evil Demons from Stormwind City and Eredar, come out bravely and accept the judgment of fate! The sacred light will definitely purify you all!"
The Virgin Saint led a large group of Silver Hand Paladins on war horses, shouting loudly at the enemy's defense line and more enemies in the camp from a distance.
In the past few days, she has fallen in love with bringing a large group of bad-ass Paladins to bully the evil coalition forces and Eredar demons. This is a practice that makes her feel physically and mentally happy!
Now, she has become the honorary leader of the Holy Light Church and the Goddess of Holy Light under the Flame Alliance. What she has to do every day is to teach the paladins or priests to master the mysteries of the Holy Light. At the same time, she also needs to guide those who cannot. Receiving a response from the Holy Light, but being willing to pray and bless the warriors who believed in her, was just a very meaningful act that made her feel very novel.
Then, when you have time, like now, you can take one or two thousand paladins with you and go directly south to Nanhai Town to find trouble with the Stormwind Alliance.
For example, just now, she picked up a few big rocks and threw them at the opponent's camp from a distance. It really made her feel very happy! If the opponent's camp didn't have a lot of artillery and various defensive measures to prevent her from getting close, she might have gone in and charged in several times.
"Lady the Goddess of Holy Light..."
"There are too many people on the other side, and you have dug out all the big rocks here... I think we should go back early, otherwise, Marshal Garithos will definitely blame us for accompanying you out in private!"
Paladin Bridget Abidis, at this time, was carrying a gleaming golden weapon, cast from half of the Naaru's lower body fragments, and also blessed by the Virgin Saint with the infinite justice in one hand. Sword, holding the reins with both hands, rode the horse slowly to the chaste saint, and walked to the feet of their goddess of holy light.
Then, he raised his head and looked at this kid who was having a lot of fun. He seemed to be patrolling around, looking for more huge rocks to hit the evil coalition forces on the opposite side. He had already gone too far, the Holy Light Titan advised.
For some reason, Bridget always felt that their new goddess of the Holy Light Church seemed... to have some bad habits of the cute Anne in their alliance?
Now, look at the surrounding land...
In the grassland in front of the enemy's battalion's defense line, this huge female titan of Holy Light has dug out large pits one after another, and smashed all the big rocks originally buried under the grass onto the enemies in the distance. In the camp... Let's not talk about the damage done by the enemy. At least, the buildings that can be seen inside the enemy, such as large wooden houses or sentry towers, were all smashed into ruins!
Maybe this is the benefit of being big. With her huge body that is invulnerable, this female Titan can just stand in the distance and dig out rocks and throw them away for fun, while the enemy can only stare and stare, not daring to rush out casually. Looking for trouble.
Because once their coalition forces in Stormwind City dare to break away from the protection of magic, artillery and various fortifications, what they will face after breaking out will not be those boulders that can be seen and easily avoided, but Those steel arms and huge feet!
No one would be stupid enough to go out into the wild and find trouble with an iron titan that couldn't be broken. Of course, neither would the soldiers of the Stormwind Alliance.
"Bridget...well, my Holy Light Warrior...your suggestion is right..."
"Well, let's just call it a day... and come back another day..."
After looking around, she saw that there was indeed no solid object that she could throw easily. The chaste saint could only nod reluctantly. Finally, she glanced at the evil ones who were hiding in the camp and did not dare to come out in the distance, as well as the Ai who blasphemed the Holy Light. After Reda, she turned around and led her paladins to strode away arrogantly.
"..."
Standing in front of the third floor hall of a castle in Nanhai Town, looking at the chaos in his camp in the distance, a certain marshal couldn't calm down for a long time.
Anyway, Marshal Reginald Windsor has been very worried lately...
Because he discovered that the Stormwind City Alliance's Northern Expedition forces, after their last defeat, no longer had the ability to launch another attack... Some of the culprits were the damn Holy Light Titan, the so-called 'Holy Light Titan' The Goddess of Light' and a giant whose whole body is made of unknown white metal!
Because, from time to time, that damn Iron Man would come to their defense line with a group of Silver Hand Paladins dragging the shining golden light. If you are just hanging out, then forget it... However, the other party is still changing their tricks, constantly attacking or persuading their coalition soldiers...
For example, whether the boulder-throwing attack just now was very lethal or not, he has not yet received a report on the amount of losses, but... one thing is certain, that is: the other party's behavior has a serious impact on their morale!
What's even worse is that none of them can do anything about it.
Fortunately, in a defensive situation, their large-caliber artillery and various defensive measures against the opponent are enough to keep that damn Titan from getting close! Otherwise, he really couldn't imagine how bad the war situation would be.
Therefore, after careful discussions with Velen, the Draenei's prophet, he felt that there were not enough spellcasters on his side to deal with the metal Titan who could use holy light, so they had to reluctantly give up on Tai. The main camp on the Renmire front line retreated directly south to Nanhai Town, and never went out again.
Here in the Hillsbrad Hills, except for retaining Durnholde Castle and the South Point Gate confrontation camp to the west, they basically abandoned the territory they had occupied for more than half a year...
After deeply realizing that high-end combat power with strong deterrent power can have a huge impact on the battle situation, Marshal Reginald Windsor immediately reported to the headquarters of the Stormwind City Alliance on the day he withdrew to Southsea Town. Send a letter to King Varian of Stormwind City requesting support, asking the Alliance to send a large number of high-level mages or other high-level professionals, such as warlocks, druids, etc., to the Northern Expedition.
But what he didn't understand was that it had been three full days since the incident, and they still hadn't received any response. So now, an army of tens of thousands of them could only sit in Nanhai Town in frustration, watching. The Titan that appears outside from time to time and those slutty paladins of the Knights of the Silver Hand come and leave as they please...
"..."
"Forget it, let's let the enemies be proud for a while!"
In addition to verbally speaking a few words to comfort themselves, they would definitely not dare to go out and act rashly before the powerful support of the Stormwind City Alliance arrived... Otherwise, what if they were killed by the Iron Titan again in the wild? , but there won’t necessarily be that terrifying large-scale rain of fire magic to help them block the way.
(*/ω＼*)……
Therefore, after seeing the other party finally leaving, Reginald looked back a little lonely and sat down and chatted with Velen, the Draenei prophet who had been staying here.
"Lord Velen, I have always been very curious about how you Draenei came to the world of Azeroth! And... the female Titan of Holy Light outside before, she kept calling you Eredar Demons... And I also discovered that you look very similar to the demons of the Burning Legion...even to the portrait of Archimonde, the defiler who is as powerful as a god...So, can I take the liberty to ask you a few words: What is the relationship between your Draenei race and those eredar? Also, how did you come to the world of Azeroth?"
"Of course, if there is any inconvenience, you don't have to say anything... After all, this is just my personal doubt and has nothing to do with the alliance's position."
In this way, in the lobby on the third floor of this small castle in Nanhai Town, which was not too seriously damaged by the war, Marshal Reginald Windsor had a conversation with Velen, the great prophet of the Draenei. The two stayed in this relatively comfortable place, sitting across from each other and chatting.
"Marshal Reginald...there is actually nothing that cannot be said about this matter."
"Countless years ago...whether it was the eredar in the Burning Legion, Archimonde the Defiler, or even Kil'jaeden...we were actually just ordinary eredar on the planet Argus. ."
"At that time, I, Archimonde and Kil'jaeden were the three elders in our world of Argus. Until one day, the arrival of the Dark Titan Sargeras..."
Thinking of what happened back then, Velen had to fall into deep thought, while slowly talking about everything about their world of Argus and the dark titan Sargeras of the Burning Legion.
Thinking about these days, every time the female titan came to visit, she would always point at the draenei and curse them as demons. He himself had actually wanted to explain this matter for a long time, but he just didn't have the chance. I don't even bother to explain it.
These days, the Draenei get along pretty well with humans, dwarves, gnomes and night elves in the alliance, and the relationship between Velen and Reginald Windsor is now relatively harmonious. , so it’s not a big deal to tell the other party about the unbearable past of one’s own race. At least, after the communication between the two parties, he no longer has to worry about receiving suspicious looks from friendly troops when a female Titan points her nose at the devil and scolds the devil!
"That's probably what happened at that time..."
"In the end, with the help of those great holy light creatures and the Naaru, we successfully escaped from the world of Argus and escaped from the clutches of the Burning Legion... From that time on, we will no longer be eredar People call themselves 'exiles' or 'exiles'... and the way this word is pronounced in the Eredar language is Draenei..."
"However, the Burning Legion of Sargeras and my two former close friends have always been worried about the departure of us draenei. In these countless years, they have never given up hunting us, even if we It was the same when he escaped to Draenor, which is now Outland."
"In the end, Kil'jaeden discovered us in Outland, and then... came the events of Ner'zhul, Gul'dan's Dark Portal, and the shattering of Draenor's planet... Now in Outland, you also know the situation there. , the entire earth has been torn apart by the evil energy of the devil and evil spells..."
"In the bloody war between us and those terrifying evil orcs with demonic power, we failed again... After hundreds of years of reproduction, after that battle, more than 80% of our people died. Under the control of the orcs controlled by demons, the rest can only run away..."
"As for what happened next, Marshal Reginald, you must know it yourself. We escaped from the shattered outer realm on the giant spaceship Exodar, and finally accidentally crashed on the Blue Island in the world of Azeroth..."
"I think this may be the guidance of the Holy Light... It is the great Holy Light that brings us together to work together to fight against the evil Burning Legion!"
When he first came to this world, Velen was actually very shocked that the Stormwind Alliance was able to defeat Archimonde the Defiler and crush the invasion of the Burning Legion.
Later, when he learned from the night elves again that in ancient times, the other party had actually smashed Sargeras's conspiracy and defended the world from the other party, he decided to join the other party's alliance. , work together to defend this beautiful world of Azeroth, and work together to fight against the Burning Legion!
"Yes...praise the Holy Light..."
Finally, after knowing the specific origins of the draenei, Marshal Reginald Windsor nodded with a clear understanding. If this is really the case, then why did the female titan of Holy Light become so powerful? He would point his finger at the draenei's nose and curse the devil many times, so that makes sense.
"By the way, Lord Velen, you just said that among the three elders of the Eredar, besides you and Archimonde the Defiler who we killed, there is also Kil'jaeden the Deceiver?"
"This name, our Expeditionary Corps in Outland has sent back a few words about the other party many times, but the details are not clear. Can you tell me more?"
The power of the Burning Legion could be understood by Reginald from the information he received from the outside world a few years ago. From ancient times to the present, Sargeras' many conspiracies have been crushed, and Archimonde has died. Therefore, the last remaining one is still making trouble in the outer realm, ready to come to the foundation of Azeroth to destroy the world at any time. Ergadan, he expressed that he was really concerned and wanted to know some information about the other party so that he could be prepared when facing each other in the future.
"That Kil'jaeden..."
"He was once the wisest and most outstanding among the three elders of our Eredar... His talent can be called a wizard, and he is resourceful... However, he was too obsessed with studying magic and other mysterious powers. Being easily seduced by Dark Titan Sargeras with knowledge..."
When Velen wanted to continue saying something, he suddenly stopped. Because he saw a heavily armed guard running in outside the door. The other person was holding a roll of what seemed to be an official document?
"Report! Your Excellency, Marshal! The Stormwind City Alliance Headquarters has sent the latest order!"
Then, the guard didn't care about the Draenei prophet Velen next to him. He just stepped forward and rolled up the unopened copy and tied it with a rope. There was even a letter sealed with fire paint printed on the opening, respectfully. The land was handed into the hands of Marshal Reginald Windsor.
This was a direct military order from the headquarters, and there was no room for any delay on his part.
"Great, the news from Stormwind City is finally here! I want to see what kind of support they will send us? Is it a mage or the great druids of the night elves?"
"Anyway, please don't send us soldiers or paladins..."
After seeing that there was nothing wrong with the seal of the letter and the way it was tied with the thin rope, Reginald quickly tore off the rope, then broke open the complete piece of paint and began to browse quickly.
However……
Reginald, who was originally very happy, frowned more and more after seeing this order coming from Stormwind City, and his expression became more and more unhappy... In the end, his expression changed several times in an uncertain manner. This time, he finally let out a deep sigh and slapped the order heavily on the wooden table with a simple map beside him.
Originally, he thought it was the relevant instructions about the support force and the specific date of the arrival of the reinforcements, but who would have thought that it would be such a huge reversal?
"What's wrong, Marshal Reginald, something happened?"
Seeing the other party's performance, Velen did not try to read the order, but asked directly.
"well……"
"A drastic change has occurred in our Kingdom of Stormwind: our great granary, the Defias Brotherhood in Westfall, successfully revolted, established the Defias Republic and is sweeping Westfall! And our armies, you know, are now here Outland and the Northern Expedition are here... This results in Stormwind City's army having enough defense but not enough offense, so they can only sit back and watch the enemy grow and develop in the Western Wilds!"
"In addition, the enemy's Flame Queen has returned to the world of Azeroth. After discussions between the headquarters and the alliance's senior leaders, they feel that the evil flame army and those powerful fire elemental armies are likely to reappear in the near future, so , they rejected our request for reinforcements, and ordered us to end the offensive battle of the Northern Expedition as soon as possible, maintain the current confrontation for the time being, and transport part of the main force back to Stormwind City in order to eliminate the Diffie who has risen and threatened the security of Stormwind City. Sub-Republic!”
Having said this, Reginald sighed heavily. This was really because the plan could not keep up with the changes, but now that it was over, what could he say?
He himself also knew that the orders of the Stormwind City High Command and the King were correct. Now that their attack was frustrated and they had retreated to Nanhai Town, if they continued to increase their troops for the Northern Expedition, would Stormwind City still need it?
Thinking of the Defias Brotherhood, Reginald couldn't help but think of that damn noble Katrana Presto and that damn female black dragon that he personally exposed last year. She was responsible for everything! Although the other party was driven away by their Stormwind City, the black dragon's goal was achieved. She really made the Stormwind Kingdom a mess inside and outside!
And the Defias Republic is obviously one of the problems she left behind back then! Now, it's just a matter of breaking out at the right moment.
Reginald felt that after the Kingdom of Stormwind was done with everything, they must organize an expedition to Dustwallow Swamp and cut off the head of that damn female dragon!
"Therefore, the High Command in Stormwind City and His Majesty King Varian have jointly issued an order: Our Stormwind Alliance's Northern Expedition ends today!"
"We must arrange and deploy the defense work of Arathi Highlands and Hillsbrad Hills as soon as possible. In addition to maintaining the current results, we must also mobilize at least 30,000 or more elite main forces and strive to wipe out Di Di in one go. Threat from the Republic of Fia!"
As he spoke, Reginald frowned and came to the military map spread on the table. He needed to think carefully about how to arrange the end of the campaign, what places should be abandoned, and which areas should be preserved with all his strength. place. And these things need to be completed within the next three days, and there is no room for sloppiness!
"..."
Now that things have become like this, what else can Velen say?
The Draenei had just arrived here, and they had just lost a battle. The troops had suffered a lot of casualties, and when they had gained nothing, the Northern Expedition, which had lasted for almost a year, was about to withdraw...
But this is fine. If the Northern Expedition is ended, the Draenei can save more strength to be wary of the invasion of the Burning Legion, instead of wasting it in such meaningless battles to expand the land!
After all, the Draenei's Secret Blue Island is so big now. Not only does it have a beautiful environment and rich products, it is also surrounded by the sea. No threatening enemies have been found so far. This is really enough for them to recuperate on it for hundreds of years! Therefore, the Draenei don't have much need to attack the continent of Lordaeron now. They come here just to fulfill their obligations to join the alliance.
If you can't fight now, then don't fight!
"well……"
"This is the end of the matter. This is the only way! Once our main force withdraws part of it, except for the Arathi Highlands, there won't be much change. Here in the Hillsbrad Hills, our troops will also We can only maintain the defense line of Nanhai Town and Thoradin's Wall in Durnholde Castle, which are easy to defend and difficult to attack. As for places like Tarren Mill, Gavin Heights and South Point Gate, we have to give up... "
After looking at the map and calculating the remaining strength of the coalition after withdrawing tens of thousands of troops, Reginald quickly formulated a defense strategy that would allow them to maintain a balance with the current enemy. Now, after the offensive and defensive changes, he no longer dared to think about rushing into Andorhal, dividing the four kingdoms, and then gradually wiping out the entire Flame Alliance.
Now, he himself can only pray that the enemy will not recover too quickly. Whether it is the fire elemental legion or the enemy from the outside world, it is best not to appear or come back again. Otherwise, it is not clear whether he can hold the current territory!
"Your Excellency Velen, we are going to have a meeting in the conference room on the second floor of this castle tonight to discuss troop withdrawal and garrison matters. Please be sure to attend on time!"
"Ok, I see……"
