Volume 3: Tides of Darkness Chapter 207 For the Tribe
Wolf cavalry has a huge advantage over human cavalry, that is, wolves can climb mountains and are not completely restricted by mountains like human war horses. Although their climbing ability is not as good as that of the dwarf goat cavalry, at least they can climb.
Moreover, once the human and the wolf are separated, they can be transformed from a level 36 wolf cavalryman into a level 24 orc light infantry and a level 22 Blackrock wolf. Although the combat power has become weaker, the number has doubled.
After two consecutive bloody battles with heavy casualties, the number of wolf cavalry is now more than 18,000.
Hearing Hellscream's order, thousands of wolf riders near the side of the mountain immediately jumped off their wolves, then waved their weapons and drove their war wolves down the hillside towards Dagger Ridge.
Murphy was standing on the castle and enjoying breathing fire, but he was shocked when he saw this scene. Damn, is this possible?
He really hadn't thought of this. He had been completely fixed by the existing war pattern and subconsciously thought that cavalry could not go up the mountain.
Da Vinci on the side was also stunned, "How could this happen?"
Seeing this, Sieglet couldn't help but joked, "It seems that you professionals are not that good. You didn't even calculate such an obvious problem."
Da Vinci was rebuked but didn't react at all. Suddenly his face changed, "What are you waiting for? Go support Dagger Ridge!"
To the south of the valley are continuous mountains and towering ridges. It is simply unrealistic to rush over. Dagger Ridge is the mountain range located on the north side of the valley, but the mountains to the north are relatively flat, and there is only one ridge. Once you cross the mountain, you can reach the Western Wilderness. If these wolf cavalry really run to the plains of the Western Wilderness, it will be impossible to catch them all.
Speaking of this matter, Murfei and others didn't care too much. Instead, the people in the studio were extremely anxious. They claimed to be professionals. If the job went wrong, they would not have the face to ask for the one million gold coins. Even if they wanted money, they would probably have to give a discount. That was real money. This could be considered a work accident.
Sieglet rolled his eyes at him. "Damn it! Don't you see there are 20,000 wolf cavalrymen down there? We only have a few thousand infantrymen. It's good enough that we can hold the defense line. What else do you want?"
Sieglet has absolutely no good feelings towards these guys in the studio. He even wants to win over Varian to go with him to find the Scythe of Elune, and he is eager to ruin the cooperation between Varian and the studio.
At this moment, Dara Bangba was leading the infantry to block the gap below.
Murphy also shook his head. His biggest purpose in participating in this war, besides helping his brothers, gaining plot points and reputation, was actually to gain experience.
Now he has just reached level 22. Compared with other heroes, his biggest weakness is that his level is too low and his basic attributes are too few. This time, with such a good opportunity and so many wolf cavalry, he must gain a lot of experience.
His position was just right, there was no need to move. He exhaled another breath of dragon, and suddenly a white light flashed on his body, and he reached the next level.
It took him half an hour to level up three times, which was fast. However, looking at the densely packed wolf cavalry below, Murphy was still not satisfied. These were all experiences, and if he didn't dare to take them, others would take advantage of them.
Varian noticed the situation and hurriedly ordered the cavalry to charge. However, the orcs also sent out thousands of wolf cavalry, who rushed forward and engaged in a melee with the human knights.
At this time, Hellscream had led a group of orc light infantry without wolves up the hillside and rushed up along the narrow mountain road on the hillside.
Fortunately, the defenders on Dagger Ridge have already moved into place. With an army of 10,000 people in a commanding position, it is relatively easy to defend.
The five civilian heroes all gathered on the hill, ready to meet Hellscream's attack. Most of the people around them were archers and crossbowmen, who desperately shot arrows to resist the orcs' charge.
A small number of infantrymen were concentrated at key points on the mountain roads, defending from a high position.
Seeing Hellscream charging forward, Sword of Dawn hurriedly sent a signal to the two mages.
"Don't worry about Hellscream, just stop those minions. We'll take care of this guy."
Dark Night Mage: Received.
Fenghuoliantian: I understand.
The two mages attacked at the same time, summoning a meteor shower together, directly blocking the orcs' way to attack the mountain.
Only Hellroar killed the infantry guarding the hillside and reached the top of the hill.
However, just as they reached the top of the mountain, they were blocked by three human heroes.
These three human heroes have all participated in the first Battle of Black Gate. Except for Dawnblade, who is in the second round and has a relatively low level, the other two are masters above level 70.
The leader was a man as burly as an iron tower, wearing heavy black iron armor, a barrel-shaped helmet, holding a tower shield in one hand and a war hammer in the other - Xiong Ba Tian Xia (Iron Defender), level 80. Gold tier 4.
On the left, a man in black dragon leather armor, graceful figure, wearing a black scarf, revealing cold star-like eyes, holding two top-grade scimitars enchanted with high-level sharpness. Qin Shi Ming Yue (Blade Ranger), level 79. Gold 4th level.
The last one, with exaggerated explosive muscles, holding a two-handed sword. Dawn Sword (Dragon Blood Knight), level 46. Gold level 3.
The three men surrounded Hellscream in a V-shape. Facing the three heroes, Hellscream was not afraid at all.
Fearless slash!
Hellscream leaped up.
Iron barrier! Xiong Ba Tian Xia was the first to meet it.
Ding! The Blood Roar hit the shield hard, and the huge power even cut through the purple shield.
"What? My shield."
"Stop talking nonsense, hold the aggro, we're going to get this kill today." Qin Shimingyue's figure flashed and appeared behind Hellscream, attacking with two swords.
The Dawn Sword also swung its huge sword and chopped it down...
…
No, this upgrade is still too slow.
Murphy drank a bottle of mana potion, consuming all his mana at once, and the dragon breath he exhaled only burned dozens of wolf riders to death. Although these wolf riders each had 400 to 500 experience points, and one wave could give 20,000 to 30,000 experience points, it was still too slow.
I don’t know when I’ll get such a good opportunity to upgrade next time.
He looked up and saw that the mage heroes were all in a killing spree, releasing meteor showers madly. This magic could be said to be the ceiling of the magic profession's AOE skills. The wolf riders below died layer after layer, and the charred corpses filled the ground.
Although the AOE effect of Flame Dragon's Breath is very strong, its endurance is too poor compared to that of magic professions. It is still slightly inferior to that of professionals.
I touched the ring on my right index finger and thought to myself, I should just use it.
He raised his right hand with the ring on it, and the evil power condensed into a green ball in his hand.
Sargeras's whisper sounded at the right time, "Hehe, Deathwing, you keep saying that you don't care about the Burning Legion, but now you want to borrow my power."
"What do you know? I need to hide my identity now and cannot use my true power. Otherwise, do you think I would value your little ability?"
As Murphy spoke, the evil energy in his hands became increasingly difficult to control. The evil aura emanating from the evil energy seemed to be able to affect his mind, and an evil voice seemed to ring in his heart.
Oh shit, such a powerful force, no, I have to release it quickly, I can’t control it anymore.
Rain of chaos!
The evil power in Murphy's hand suddenly turned into a green beam of light that shot up into the sky. The surrounding soldiers and heroes were all startled and retreated.
The beam of light shot into the sky and turned into a huge vortex, as if it had torn a big hole in the sky. Behind the vortex, a strange scene of twisted void was faintly revealed, and huge green meteorites were suspended in the void.
Following Murphy's call, these huge meteorites fell one by one towards this side of the vortex.
The sky seemed to be burning, as if the clouds were also burning, and then a huge meteorite fell from the sky, dragging a long tail.
Boom! The violent explosion echoed in the valley, deafening, and the earth was shaking, boom, boom, boom!
Green meteors fell one after another. This magic could not accurately control the landing point of the meteorites, so what would hit depended entirely on luck. But since there were orcs everywhere below, there was no need to worry about not hitting anyone.
Meteorites fell one after another, and the shock waves of the explosion blew the surrounding soldiers everywhere. It was like the end of the world. In comparison, the meteor shower that was so powerful just now had no presence at all.
Murphy has filled the ring with fel power these days and summoned ten hellfire demons in one breath.
A Hellfire fell near the city wall, crushing a dozen wolf riders into pulp, and then a huge Hellfire demon crawled out of the burning crater.
Murphy got a glimpse of the true appearance of this hellfire.
Hellfire (Demonic Construct), Elite: Level 80, HP 15,000.
This thing does not belong to the conventional monster system, but is a war weapon of the Burning Legion. It is somewhat similar to the Arcane Golem in Dalaran, but it is a fel-enhanced version. Fel flames are burning around the Hellfire's body, and just getting close to it will cause you to continuously lose health points.
Even though it's just an elite, it's a level 80 monster with very strong combat power.
Just by standing there, the fel flames emanating from it caused the surrounding wolf riders to scream in agony.
They didn't have much intelligence and attacked the orcs and humans around them instinctively. They trampled a wolf rider to death with one foot and knocked down an orc infantry with one punch. Several wolf riders rushed up and slashed at the Hellfire, but due to their extremely high defense, one strike only did a dozen points of damage. Instead, their health bars were burned by the fel flames surrounding the Hellfire, and they died or fled in a few seconds.
"Fuck, Aidan, you are awesome, what kind of skill is this?"
The two younger brothers were both shocked.
Before Murphy could say a few words of modesty, the Hellfire suddenly punched the city wall.
The tall city wall was just waist-high in front of the Hellfire. With one punch, three or four militiamen standing there were killed instantly.
"Stop, these are friendly troops, go kill those orcs." Murphy shouted.
The hellfire demon looked at him expressionlessly. It was obvious that in its eyes, there was no difference between humans and orcs.
It seems that having a low IQ is not always a good thing.
"Kill them inside, don't kill them at the wall."
This time the Hellfire Demon finally understood and rushed towards the orc army, leaving a trail of burning footprints wherever it passed.
Although those orcs are ferocious and violent , they seem to be fearless when facing humans. However, when faced with the huge Hellfire Demon that is more than ten meters tall, they all show fear in their eyes and let out miserable howls. It is obvious that the orcs who have drunk the blood of the devil will have a natural fear when facing high-level demons.
Ten Hellfire Demons were rampaging madly in the wolf cavalry army. Their tall figures stood out from the crowd. Murphy watched his experience points rising rapidly. This efficiency was much higher than him spitting fire alone.
Under the bombardment of meteor showers, the trampling of hellfire demons, the intensive shooting of archers, and the charge of cavalry, the surrounded orc army was killed and destroyed at an alarming speed.
Level 25 - Level 26 - Level 27! The white light of the upgrade flashed from time to time. When the orc army was completely killed and collapsed, the main force was gone, and only a few stragglers were left to flee in all directions, Murphy had actually reached level 30.
The reserve infantry of Varian's army finally caught up and rushed towards the northern hills. Arthas also led his soldiers to rush down from the southern hills.
But the annoying thing is, those hellfire demons have no intention of stopping.
Fortunately, after the previous fierce battle, six of the ten Hellfires had been killed by the orcs at the cost of human lives, and the only three left on the battlefield were also left with little health. They were finally knocked down after being beaten by human soldiers.
There is another Hellfire that has fallen somewhere and the range of this Rain of Chaos is really hard to control, so Murphy is too lazy to look for it.
Maybe after this war is over, he will become a wild boss or something.
The battle on Dagger Ridge also had its outcome decided at this point.
Bang! Hellscream chopped Xiong Ba Tian Xia away with his axe.
The shield was completely split in half, and Bloody Roar took the opportunity to cut through Xiong Ba Tian Xia's breastplate, -4127!
This blow almost took half his life. Fortunately, the Iron Defender had a strong damage reduction ability and failed to deliver a fatal blow. Xiong Ba Tian Xia staggered back, and the armor on his body seemed as fragile as paper in front of the Blood Roar.
He covered the wound on his chest and gasped.
Too strong, really too strong. I thought three gold-level heroes were enough to kill this guy, but I didn't expect that we still couldn't beat him.
The Sword of Dawn fell into a near-death state after being hit by an axe, and Qin Shi Mingyue simply disappeared and dared not show up.
I can’t take it anymore.
The strength of these characters in the plot is indeed extraordinary, especially Hellscream, a key character who has killed demigods in history.
Hellscream grinned as he looked at the human warrior in front of him who was fighting to the death.
"Human, you are much tougher than you look. It's a pity that you met me. Any last words?"
“Hehehe.”
"why are you laughing?"
"Your army has been destroyed. Look behind you."
When Hellscream turned around, he was shocked and angry to find that he was completely surrounded.
Below the hillside were the remains of the Hellfire reduced to rubble, human soldiers cleaning up the battlefield, and endless corpses of orcs and wargs.
There were countless corpses scattered all over the canyon. He repeated in disbelief, "My army—destroyed?"
Thirty thousand soldiers, all annihilated? The warriors of the Horde, the Warsong Clan, and the Blackrock Clan were all dead.
Impossible, how could this be possible! Hellscream's rage instantly reached its peak.
The next second, a voice made him feel like he was falling into an icy cave.
"Come to think of it, it's all thanks to you."
That's right, it was I who harmed these soldiers, and it was my recklessness that led them to a dead end.
Pain spread in his heart, regret and anger intertwined, Hellscream's eyes gradually turned red, and his teeth were grinding.
Around him were human heroes and more soldiers who gradually gathered around him. Countless human swords and spears surrounded him like a jungle.
"That's right, you have already lost to Hellscream, surrender." Varian's voice sounded, he walked out of the crowd, his face full of fatigue, but more of excitement.
The battle was finally won, an epic victory.
While Hellscream was distracted, Qin Shimingyue suddenly appeared, and helped Xiong Ba Tian Xia and Dawn Sword to retreat a few steps. The three of them took out blood bottles and poured blood into their mouths.
More people gathered around, and at this moment, the army had surrounded the place, but the innermost circle was naturally still the heroes.
Murphy is also among them. If he can kill Hellscream with his own hands, he will definitely gain a large number of plot points, and there is a high probability that he can get a legendary combat expertise. This kind of opportunity must not be missed.
At the very least, you can get an assist.
"Let me finish him off." Muradin said eagerly.
"No, Varian, let me do it." Varian's brothers also began to volunteer to fight.
"Well, can you let me try?" Arthas said weakly.
Morgan Lisa raised her hand, and flames gathered in her hand. "Let me kill him instantly with a big fireball."
"Stay away Morgan Lisa, this job is for us close combat."
"Don't we have human rights as a magic profession? We are relied upon when clearing small monsters, but why can't we be given the opportunity to fight the boss?"
"If you ask me, there's no need to talk about honor or morality when fighting against a barbaric race like orcs. We just need to fight shoulder to shoulder."
As soon as these words were spoken, plot characters such as Varian, Muradin, and Arthas all showed astonishment, but the players all had an expression of "it must be so".
If it's a one-on-one fight, no one would dare to say they can win. In this case, let's all attack together, and it would be nice to get an assist after killing the opponent in a group.
Tianxiu said: "I will say one, two, three, everyone come together."
Dala Bangba: "Why not three, two, one?"
Everyone: “…”
Hellscream listened to the discussions around him, and his mind was calm for the first time. The regret and anger in his heart made him determined to die, but before he died, he must make these hateful humans pay the price.
His eyes swept across these human faces one by one, and suddenly fell on one of them.
That's right, it was him, that human being, who dared to say that he was a cowardly bandit and a cowardly deserter, and he must die.
"Enough! You despicable humans, I am the most powerful warrior of the tribe, the chieftain of the Warsong clan, the invincible warrior of Orgrim - Grom Hellscream. Even if I die in battle, I will never surrender to you despicable humans. Prepare to die - for the tribe!"
Hellscream roared, and suddenly jumped towards Murphy with a Fearless Slash.
