Volume 3: Tides of Darkness Chapter 188: For the Alliance! For the Horde!
The Dawn Sword thought that this battle would be a tough one, but to their surprise, although the BOSS looked intimidating in appearance, it was actually a weakling in a real fight. Its defense was frighteningly low, and any ice arrow or lightning ball thrown at it could cause hundreds of damage.
More than a hundred mages, warlocks, and priests attacked crazily, and after a few rounds, the boss's health gradually decreased.
The Dawn Sword was both excited and confused. Why did this BOSS feel a little weak? It was not at all as tricky as the black dragon.
Although there are more than 300 adventurers and several heroes this time, it is still a world-class BOSS after all. There is no reason...
Boom! The Fire Demon Lord Lagrios turned into a brilliant flame shock wave and dissipated in mid-air.
Dawn Sword used its shield to block the impact of the explosion.
[System prompt: You have successfully defeated the real projection of the Fire Demon Lord Lagrios. You have obtained 550 plot points...]
What do you mean it's just a projection of reality? Shit! It's not a plot kill?
The Sword of Dawn was stunned for a moment. He had thought that getting the kill in the plot event was a sure thing, but he didn't expect it was just a projection.
The Dark Night Mage was not surprised at all. He was a great elementalist and was very familiar with elemental creatures.
"Don't be shocked. Elemental creatures summoned to the material world are usually projections or clones. They are impossible to kill. If you really want to kill it, you have to go to the elemental plane and kill the boss's body. But even if you banish it back, it will be in trouble. Don't think about coming back anytime soon. Let's retreat quickly."
The summoned projection will take twice the damage, and the chance of being killed increases by 100%. The good thing is that when it dies, it is not really dead, it just returns to the elemental plane.
Demons can also use this trick, but after being killed, they will return to the twisting void and can be resurrected in the future.
This move is often used by BOSSes in the non-primary material world.
Of course, the death penalty can be avoided, but the living punishment cannot be escaped, and the reward will still fall.
The Dark Night Mage quickly touched the BOSS's body.
What made him both emotional and relieved was that a Fire Demon Lord's Scepter unexpectedly exploded. He had one of this thing in his previous life, but he didn't expect to have the chance to get it again in this life.
In just a short while, the surrounding orc troops had reacted and besieged them. The adventurers were not afraid of death, but the heroes could not die here.
Several heroes gathered together in a hurry, and disappeared instantly with the white light of teleportation. However, those adventurers were not so lucky. They were besieged by orcs from all directions and were eventually killed in the battle.
At the same time, the Qingyang Empire Guild also successfully killed the Abyss Demon King Baal...
Damn, they left so soon? These two guys just didn't put in any effort. Wang Xuan was speechless.
The real bodies of these two BOSSes didn’t even show up, only two projections came.
He knew that the projection was only half as powerful as the original body, but he didn't expect it to be over so quickly. Moreover, these orcs had no war qualities at all. No one protected the two important back rows...
In fact, this is not the orcs' fault. Who made this war so chaotic? The orcs themselves lack experience in large-scale combat. In the past, they have always fought wars in clans. Now, there are armies of more than a dozen clans, large and small, mixed together on the battlefield, and there is no truly authoritative command, so this kind of thing is natural.
Fortunately, at this moment, Warchief Orgrim finally led the main force of the Blackrock Legion and the swordmasters of the Burning Blade Clan through the Dark Portal and arrived at the battlefield.
As soon as he arrived, he ordered his men to build a high platform, and he climbed up to observe the situation on the battlefield.
At a glance, one could see the majestic figure of Varian leading the adventurers to charge left and right in the orc army.
Orgrim (Warchief): "I thought Saurfang was brave enough, but I didn't expect there was such a warrior among humans. Who is he?"
"He's Varian, the one who killed Blackhand," said an old orc.
Orgrim was a little surprised. "What? Varian is just a human boy. Humph, he is really impressive. Warriors of the Horde, you are just watching the human who killed Blackhand show off his power. Who is willing to take his head?"
"Let me do it!" Hellscream pushed aside the witch doctor who was treating him, picked up Bloodhowl and walked over, "I have disliked that guy for a long time. I had to command the army before, but now that the great chief is here, let me lead the troops myself to capture that guy."
"Very good, let's go!" Watching Hellscream leading his troops towards Varian, Orgrim knew that the front should be stable for the time being.
Orgrim frowned as he watched the chaotic war in front of him. The Alliance's formation was a concave formation, which seemed likely to be broken at any time, but in fact it was more like a trap. The orcs rushed forward fiercely and easily rushed into the concave area. However, the Alliance had a large number of spellcasters, especially those powerful wizards. All the magic in the sky was concentrated there, killing the orc warriors in groups.
This can't go on any longer.
Orgrim is a rare orc in the tribe who is very skilled in war and military strategy. Compared with other orcs' reckless and brave fighting style, he is better at the application of tactics and strategy.
Therefore, he was given a not-so-good title among the orcs - the backstabber.
Many orcs felt that he was not honorable enough, especially after taking advantage of Blackhand's death to quickly seize the position of Warchief. However, Orgrim did not care. Only the winner was qualified to talk about glory.
"The enemy has fewer troops than us, so we must take advantage of our numbers. We will be at a disadvantage if we fight a positional battle. We must disrupt the enemy's rhythm, destroy their formation, engage in close combat with them as much as possible, and then crush them with the orcs' iron axes and tusks.
Durotan, my friend, it's time to serve the Horde. I know you have always wanted to leave the Horde and live in peace, but if you can't win this battle, everything else is nonsense. Lead your Frostwolf cavalry and outflank the enemy from the left wing.
Rend, do you want to avenge your father? Then lead the Blackrock Wolf Riders and outflank the enemy from the right wing.
Remember, don't fight too long. Try to lure the enemy as much as possible and get behind them before launching an attack.
Go, do not be afraid to sacrifice, for the tribe!"
Two wolf cavalry units, one black and one white, each with 5,000 men, set out immediately.
Orgrim's lieutenant said with some concern, "Ten thousand cavalrymen are not enough to surround the enemy."
Orgrim sneered, "We don't need to actually surround them. It will be enough if we can cause chaos in the enemy. Those humans will either wait to die or send troops to fight . We have more troops, and the wider the formation, the better for us."
Union Army Positions -
"Your Majesty, the enemy has sent out wolf cavalry to encircle our army's two wings."
King Ryan looked solemn, and suddenly sighed, "It's time to send out the Storm Knights! Bolvar, you lead half of the knights to attack the enemy on the left wing, Duke Sid Ryan, lead your cavalry to attack the enemy on the right wing. Don't fight too long, and block the enemy's sight as much as possible.
Messenger, tell Varian to bring his men back. We can no longer win this war and must prepare to retreat."
King Llane said, looking at several special envoys of the kingdom beside him, "My friends, I believe you have seen how powerful the orcs are."
Arthas said first: "Yes, Your Majesty, we will immediately persuade our king to form a coalition army after we return."
Faced with this scene, the other envoys could only nod in agreement.
King Llane nodded with satisfaction. Although the battle was ultimately a failure and the orcs could not be completely blocked in the Dark Portal, as long as the coalition could be formed, they would surely achieve ultimate victory. The top priority now was to withdraw the army as completely as possible. Otherwise, once this legion was destroyed, Stormwind would be left unguarded.
The messenger galloped all the way to the front of the battlefield.
"Prince Varian, His Majesty the King asked you to withdraw. We have failed and must retreat."
"No, as long as I'm alive, the Alliance will not fail!" Varian roared with red eyes. His body was soaked in the blood of orcs, and he was covered in blood, like a blood-red knight .
He looked at the soldiers and adventurers around him. Despite the countless casualties, they were still full of fighting spirit.
"King Wa, we will fight you to the death."
"King Wa, please give the order. Our alliance warriors will never frown in the face of wind and fire."
"King Wa! Keep fighting, we're going to fight those tribal pigs!"
Varian felt a surge of heroic spirit in his heart. As long as he had these fearless warriors, he was confident of victory.
"See that flag? It's the flag of the orc chieftain. As long as we can kill the orc chieftain, we will surely win. Warriors of the Alliance, follow me..."
Roar! A deafening roar interrupted Varian's speech, and in the sky, black wings that covered the sky were falling from the sky.
"It's the Black Dragon!"
"The dragon is coming!"
"Oh my god, there are so many black dragons."
"Fuck, what's going on!"
The warriors of the Alliance and the Horde all looked up at the sky. They didn't know when countless black dragons had arrived above the battlefield, circling densely in the sky. Among them was an ultra-giant black dragon with a wingspan of more than 200 meters, covering the sky like a dark cloud.
On the tall stone gate of the Dark Portal in the distance, Wang Xuan let out a long sigh, "Fuck, it's finally here."
