According to the map of Arathi Basin, the polluter base is right outside the farm base, making its strategic position very important. If this stronghold is occupied by the Alliance, it will be equivalent to cutting off the connection between the Defiler Legion and the base in other strongholds, turning them into isolated armies fighting on their own, and the end can be imagined.
Therefore, the senior officials of the Polluter Legion present knew that the farm could not be lost!
But strategic importance does not mean tactical importance.
Because if the alliance sends a surprise force to occupy the farm without controlling other strongholds, the result will be that this surprise force becomes a lone army trapped in a tight siege.
It has always been a taboo for military strategists to go deep alone. No commander with military knowledge would do this.
"So, is the commander in Stormwind City an illiterate soldier?"
After calming down, Slaughterer Duvel turned to his colleagues and said, "How could anyone come up with a stupid plan to go deep alone?"
"Hahaha."
The senior officials of the Polluter Legion laughed together, and the atmosphere was filled with joy.
Of course, after all the laughter, we still have to get down to business.
Skeleton King Keldor stood up and said: "Duvel, although the commander of Stormwind City is stupid, it is not a good thing for the farm to be occupied. We should send troops quickly to fight back the stronghold."
"Um."
Slaughterer Duvel immediately ordered: "Organize the troops in the base immediately. I will personally lead the team to attack and kill all those fools."
However, the executives of the Polluter Legion did not know that they would soon run into serious trouble.
At the same time, in the farm stronghold, Celestine, who had just removed the Defiler's flag and replaced it with the Stormwind Lion's flag, began to
Organize defense.
As a layman who doesn't know how to march and fight, the only tactics Celestine knows are the tactics Michaela taught her during the battle of Stone Castle Fortress:
"I want to duel with the opponent's commander!"
Celestine shouted to the surrounding warriors: "As long as you kill the opponent's commander, they will be defeated!"
"good!"
"Yes!"
The rest of the warriors agreed, believing that Celestine's tactics were feasible.
As a result, Celestine continued to issue orders for other warriors to stay at the farm stronghold, and she would lead her team of adventurers into the enemy camp to find the local leader and initiate a duel.
The above tactics are extremely ridiculous in front of any military expert. If you think about it carefully, you will find that Celestine wants to duel, but why does the other party want to duel with you?
Besides, who told you that the other side has only one commander? If the opponent has multiple commanders, and you defeat one and another, you still cannot make the enemy collapse.
So Celestine's plan is incredibly stupid and bullshit.
However, for a group of military laymen, having a plan is definitely better than having no plan...
"They're coming!"
Soon, the troops of the Polluter Legion left the base and headed towards the farm.
The farm, as the name suggests, is a piece of farmland. Except for the stronghold building in the center, there is no danger to defend it. The polluter's troops quickly surrounded the stronghold and launched a fierce attack.
At this moment, the gate of the stronghold wall opened, and Celestine rushed out first. Behind her were the priest Katarina Greyfax, the mage Belisarius Caul, and the warrior Cato Sicarius, Stalker
Efreni, as well as the newly recruited warrior Titus and the paladin Kaldor Diego form an all-star cast.
"Um?"
Slaughterer Duvel, who was commanding the battle at the rear of the army, discovered the above situation. She didn't understand: "If you choose to defend, then you should stick to the stronghold. If you choose to go out for a decisive battle, just these people?"
It is explained here that the Defiler Legion killed about a thousand troops from the base, but the Celestine team only had seven people. Seven people to fight a thousand, no matter how you look at it, it is a giveaway. No wonder the Slaughterer Duvel does not understand. .
However, there are some things in the world that go against the norm
Reason cannot be understood.
"kill!"
The superhuman members of Celestine's team killed through the first array of the Defiler Legion in just a few minutes and entered the second array. There was no enemy anywhere they went!
"what happened?"
Slaughterer Duvel already felt that something was wrong. Her troops were divided into three fronts: front, middle and back. After that was her own command line, which was her main formation.
Since there is a fierce battle at the stronghold, it is impossible for Slaughterer Duvel to mobilize the already engaged troops of the first and second arrays to turn around and surround the commando led by Celestine. What should he do?
"I go!"
Martin Lindsay, the senior officer of the Defilers, raised his spear and led the team towards Celestine to pull out the nail.
On the other side, Celestine, who had been eager to behead the enemy commander, also noticed Martin Lindsay's movements and immediately led his team to kill him.
"I am Celestine of Stormwind!"
Celestine chopped down the Defiler soldier in front of him, raised his left hand and pointed at Martin Lindsay, shouting: "I want to duel with you!"
duel?
hear this
Martin Lindsay was stunned. I'm not an orc, and the Forsaken are not into the Glory Duel thing.
Therefore, Martin Lindsay ignored Celestine's duel invitation at all, and instead directed the surrounding troops to surround Celestine's assault team.
Unfortunately, Martin Lindsay did not know the seriousness of the matter. He did not want to duel, but Celestine and her team did not agree.
"Kill him!"
Using the two warriors Titus and Cato Sicarius as sharp knives, they moved forward to kill through the Defiler's line. Because the charging speed was so fast, when Martin Lindsay reacted, he and his side The soldiers have been separated by Celestine's team, and Celestine holding a big sword is already standing in front of Martin Lindsay!
In Azeroth, there is every weak person who can be a high-ranking commander, and Martin Lindsay is the same, so he bravely raised his spear and prepared to attack until the next second.
"Well!"
As a Forgotten, Martin Lindsay of the Undead tribe suddenly felt a burning pain coming from the skin all over his body.
what happened?
As if to give Martin Lindsay an explanation, Celestine's whole body bloomed with golden holy light, and a pair of light wings also opened left and right behind him.
"Rage of revenge!"
She is a paladin!
Martin Lindsay suddenly woke up. Holy light has a strong restraint effect on the undead and demons. No wonder he felt burning pain all over his body.
Wait, that’s not right!
Martin Lindsay is also a battle-hardened veteran. This is not the first time he has faced the Paladins of the Alliance. Based on past experience, the distance between him and Celestine is still more than ten meters. At this distance, naturally
I shouldn't feel burning pain, but why...
"kill!"
Before Martin Lindsay could figure out the result, Celestine had already strode forward, raised his sword high and struck the latter with a move:
"Crusader Strike!"
Damn it!
Facing Celestine's slash, Martin Lindsay had no time to take into account the pain in his body. He immediately raised his long handle to block, but just like this, he suddenly screamed:
"So strong!"
Yes, only when Martin Lindsay truly comes into contact with Celestine can he feel how surging the power of Holy Light is in the latter's body, far exceeding the sum of all the Paladins he has encountered before.
Simply, simply:
"The incarnation of the Holy Light!"
I can't imagine what it would feel like when Martin Lindsay, an undead tribe, was enveloped by such a powerful power of holy light. His whole body was ignited, and he dropped his spear on the spot and screamed in pain.
Not only Martin Lindsay, but also the other soldiers of the Defiler Legion around him felt the pain of being burned by the holy light all over their bodies, so that no one dared to approach Celestine and others, let alone rescue Martin Lindsay.
On the Alliance side, Celestine's record of instantly killing the Defiler Commander with one blow directly boosted morale. Those warriors who were still struggling in the stronghold even launched a wave of counterattacks, suppressing the Defiler soldiers who rushed into the stronghold. Went back.
As for Celestine, she felt like a god descending to earth at this moment. There was no enemy in the skeleton in front of her. She immediately strode forward towards the main formation of the Defiler Legion:
"go ahead!"
At this time, all the senior officers in the formation, including the Slaughterer Duvel, witnessed Martin Lindsay being instantly killed by Celestine.
In one scene, everyone stood stunned on the spot.
It is not that the Forgotten have never fought against the Paladins of the Alliance, but the Paladins they encountered before have never been so exaggerated that they can burn the surrounding undead just by relying on the power of holy light emanating from their bodies.
"Is she a monster?"
Priest Dizzy Snowban turned to look at Slaughterer Duvel, whose thoughts were also racing rapidly.
Could it be that I was wrong?
Could it be that the alliance's raid on the farm was not a stupid plan, but that they dared to take risks because they had an absolute trump card?
Could it be that……
"Don't be stunned, that paladin is coming to kill you!"
The voice of Skeleton King Keldor brought Slaughterer Duvel's consciousness back to reality.
Celestine, who had wings of light on his back and shining golden light all over his body, had already killed off the Defiler guards in his formation (in fact, most of the guards could not hold the Holy Light and ran away), and was heading towards the senior commanders of the Defiler Legion. come over.
"Quick, stop her!"
Without the loud shouts of Slaughterer Duvel, the mage Skeleton King Keldor and the warlock Sir Malowell had already completed the spellcasting and launched an attack on Celestine:
"Ice Arrow!"
"Shadow Arrow!"
The two spells hit Celestine's body firmly, knocking her back a few steps.
Seeing that their attacks were effective, Skeleton King Keldo and Sir Marowell continued their efforts and prepared for the second round of spell attacks.
But at this time:
"Powerful healing technique!"
"Divine Light Technique!"
Katarina Greyfax and Cardo Diego took action at the same time, using healing spells to treat Celestine's injuries.
Yes, Celestine is not alone. She has the support of her companions behind her.
, Cato Sicarius and Titus opened the way for her, and Ephrene and Belisarius Call provided her with cover.
On this day, at this moment, Celestine felt an unprecedented warmth in her heart, and the golden figure that appeared in her mind from time to time guided her in the way forward.
I won't lose!
Celestine, whose whole body was glowing with golden light, rushed towards Skeleton King Keldor and Sir Marowell. Since the guards had already run away, the two men were unable to resist and were chopped down on the spot.
Then, Celestine turned to look at Duvel the Slaughterer, the leader of the Defiler Legion. But at this time, the massacrer Duvel also felt the burning pain all over his body, plus he had witnessed Celestine killing his colleagues in an instant.
Then the fate of Slaughterer Duvel is already doomed.
"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!"
