Although Magni Bronzebeard has the common honest appearance of dwarves and the gentle temperament that the Bronzebeard clan has cultivated for a long time.
But this does not mean that Magni Bronzebeard is a bad person.
Magni Bronzebeard, who fought with his father in the War of Three Hammers, was once an irritable brother!
It was the tragic civil war that split the dwarf kingdom, the death of his father, and the pressure of the entire clan that turned the young King of Ironforge into what he is today.
Gentleness comes from having to bear the mistakes of being irritable and reckless.
But today, Magni Bronzebeard was angry again in three hundred years.
Not the rage when the orcs besieged Ironforge.
Nor is it an outrage at the bullshit within the league.
It's primal and purer anger.
It was Old Thaurissan who summoned Ragnaros with the level of rage that destroyed half of the Redridge Mountains.
If it weren't for all the elite members of the Vanguard Army, if it weren't for Carlos's prestige and strength.
The pioneers who worked hard to open up the rescue route could only watch the survivors who were fighting each other destroying each other in despair.
What a vicious and evil plan, no one with an evil eye would be able to think of such a trick!
If you witness this tragedy with your own eyes, you will not be able to sleep peacefully for the rest of your life.
How many years?
How many years have you not run like this?
Magni Bronzebeard could not remember the specific time.
The straight-line distance from the city gate of Stratholme to the Municipal Square is less than two kilometers, and the evacuation path is only more than four kilometers and less than five kilometers.
Before the undead disaster broke out, the citizens of Stratholme would have to walk more than this distance for a walk after dinner.
But the exhausted survivors could only move slowly under the guidance of the soldiers of the advance army.
It's not enough to be slow. If the soldiers don't suppress the speed of the survivors, they will be broken up if they run a few hundred meters in a hurry.
This made Alexander, the sergeant who blocked the fork in the road.
The Pioneer Army only strengthens the configuration of the regiment. There are only fourteen regiments in total. Some people were injured in the previous sea and air battles. In addition, those who stayed behind to guard the shore camps and those responsible for the garrison outside the city, minus those responsible for Guide and escort survivors.
In fact, less than five regiments of soldiers participated in intercepting and suppressing the enemy.
Carlos didn't mind using his most vicious thoughts to speculate on the commander of the Undead Scourge. If he thought about it in another person's shoes, Carlos felt that he was the Lich King. He would definitely set up an ambush outside the city and wait until the evacuation was halfway through before suddenly having a seizure. , there will definitely be great gains.
Therefore, Carlos arranged for three regiments with thousands of men to build fortifications outside the city to deal with possible enemy attacks.
As for whether the Scourge Legion will steal "home", you don't have to worry too much about this. The fleet has already turned around. The cannon that can stuff the hateful head into a cannonball will ask the Scourge Legion if they are afraid!
The rescue and evacuation operation will inevitably last for a long time, and the soldiers responsible for defensive operations must take turns to rest and recuperate.
When the remains of the ghouls and skeleton soldiers piled up in a thick layer, the pressure on the vanguard army became smaller.
But at this time, the Scourge casters hiding in Stratholme City began to take action in person.
Self-exploding ghouls, self-exploding stitch monsters, and even self-destructing skeletons began to appear. Not to mention the gargoyles hurling barrels of plague poison from the sky onto the ground.
The soldiers of the Pioneer Army really want to greet this enemy whose name I don’t know. Your father is the great star of the Zunming Sect. He pursues the philosophy of life that explosion is art.
There were even cursed cultists who, under the protection of the natural disaster minions, used poison cloud and corpse explosion techniques towards the vanguard's defense line.
Magni Bronzebeard led more than a dozen Ironforge treasury guards, as well as human tough men who followed him spontaneously, and kept fighting on various fronts.
The self-destruction power of the ghouls and skeleton soldiers can be resisted by thick armor, but the power of the suture monster's self-destruction is too terrifying for mortals. Magni Bronzebeard cannot let the soldiers use their flesh and blood to fight this kind of war. The pit of the machine.
Wave after wave, wave after wave, there seems to be no end to the enemies.
This kind of mental pressure cannot suppress the fighting spirit of the vanguard, but the physical fatigue is real.
During the War of Three Hammers, Magni Bronzebeard only had to break through the enemy's lines or defend his own. He had also experienced battles from dawn to dusk and then to dawn.
In my impression, even the two days and one night of fierce battle was not so hard.
Is it because your body has deteriorated since you became a king?
Magni Bronzebeard doesn't know.
All he knew was that he couldn't stop.
Behind him are the refugees who are struggling to move forward. Once they stop, they will have no future.
Fighting, fighting, the finely forged war hammer was cracked, but Magni Bronzebeard still did not stop.
It wasn't until Carlos used holy light to dispel the magical disease surrounding Magni that the dwarf king realized that he had been poisoned.
"Retreat, retreat quickly, I will take the rear!"
Shouting loudly, Carlos summoned the exhausted defenders to leave Stratholme quickly.
"Have they all been rescued?"
Looking at Magni Bronzebeard who was exhausted and depressed, Carlos didn't want to deceive and could only be tactful.
"We've done our best, let's go."
"Have you tried your best? Just tried your best... Just try your best."
Magni Bronzebeard did not hesitate and turned away decisively. He walked to the wooden plank dragged by a rope. He took the rope from the hands of the soldiers with bloody hands, wrapped it twice around his waist, and dragged the dead people piled on it. The corpses of the soldiers fled the ghost town of Stratholme with all their might.
Carlos watched the venerable elder leave, urging the soldiers around him to follow the team while he dragged himself behind.
Even demigods have emotions, not to mention that Carlos is just a human at this time.
Overly suppressed emotions are not good for physical and mental health, so Carlos needs to vent a little.
For example, demolish half of the city.
"Are all the paladins of the Alliance monsters?"
"No, only Carlos is the most special one."
Originally, when the ambush outside the city launched an attack, the death knights hiding in the city should have led some of the elite left behind by Arthas to pursue them.
But Carlos was hanging alone behind him, blocking the path of pursuit by the death knights who still had sense.
To the Scourge, the King of Alterac was as powerful as a monster. The Death Knight, who did not know mercy and fear, could not see the hope of victory and retreated voluntarily.
No matter how hard the battle inside the city was, Carlos and Magni never used the garrison outside the city.
Therefore, the ambush of the Scourge Legion did not achieve any results.
Just, is it worth it.
3,119 survivors were rescued, of which 798 were seriously injured and left to die. Two-thirds were women and children, 800 were elderly, and less than 200 were adult men.
In order to rescue them, the Pioneer Army lost 891 people forever, of which 384 were dead and all other participants were injured.
The paladins and priests have exhausted their physical strength, and the mages have overdrawn their mana.
The vanguard army completed an almost impossible rescue mission from a trap and killing array that was ten times larger than its own.
Is it worth it?
"Don't cry for me, and don't be sad, my friend. Tell my children that their father had no regrets before he died, because I fulfilled my vow. Tell them that I am proud to be a human being."
As he lay dying, a soldier from the Pioneer Army held the hands of his comrades and recounted his last words to his children.
