Volume 4: The Fall of the Dragon Chapter 239 Preparing to Implement Plan B
Time goes back to ten minutes ago——
From the tallest tree tower in Astranaar, two giant dragons, one black and one blue, descended from the sky and transformed into human form at the same time.
One is Morpheus, and the other is the blue dragon lord Kalecgos, who is also Malygos's lieutenant.
The surrounding night elves immediately surrounded them.
Giving Morpheus an unfriendly look, Kalecgos hastily raised his hand.
Kalecgos (Ancient Blue Dragon): "Don't be nervous, everyone. Morpheus is our ally. This time, it was he who passed the news of Deathwing's invasion to us."
The Night Guard then did not take action.
Morpheus (Ancient Black Dragon): "Don't waste time, Kalecgos. We must act quickly. My friends can't wait."
Kalecgos nodded, arcane energy gathered around him, and he raised his hand suddenly, summoning a portal.
As soon as the portal was formed, figures immediately walked out of it one after another.
Morgan Lisa, Sigret, Darabonba, Dark Night Magic God, Dawn Sword...
It was a luxurious team of more than forty heroes, all of whom were masters who had signed up to fight Deathwing, and their leader was none other than Varian Wrynn.
When Morpheus and Nefarian went to Stormwind City and proposed to join forces to deal with Deathwing in exchange for the joining of the black dragon army, King Llane was very hesitant about this. After all, the black dragon is a creature with a bad reputation and it is hard for people to believe it.
But the players didn't care about that, and many of them wanted to join the war at that time.
Soon, all major guilds knew about this plan. Especially when they learned that the four guardian dragons would join the battle, they signed up even more enthusiastically. Just kidding, how could they miss such a good opportunity to follow a big shot and gain plot points?
With such a grand scene, even if you just make a cameo appearance, you can still earn a thousand or eight hundred plot points. Moreover, with so many dragons as allies, the danger is undoubtedly much smaller. As a result, there is an endless stream of applicants, and of course Morpheus's matchmaking and boycott are indispensable.
So when the fighting started in Kalimdor, dozens of heroes gathered in the Mage Tower in Stormwind as planned. As Kalecgos opened the portal to Stormwind, everyone was able to quickly reach the battlefield.
Opening a super long-distance portal across the Endless Sea is possible only by an ancient blue dragon that can communicate with the magic network and possesses enormous magical power.
At this time, more than forty Alliance heroes were looking around curiously.
Morgan Lisa (Arcanist): "Wow, is this the city of the night elves? It's really unique."
Dark Night Mage (Elementalist): "Look, there are so many Centaurs. Hey, the one leading the group seems to be a player."
Darabongba (Prince of Alterac): "There are so many night elf ladies."
Morpheus (Ancient Black Dragon): "Heroes of the Alliance, warriors of Stormwind, don't waste any more time. You must destroy Deathwing as soon as possible. He is fighting with the four dragon kings outside. I have prepared young dragons for you. They will carry you to the battle."
As he waved his hand, dozens of baby dragons of different colors descended from the sky.
At this moment, a huge explosion happened to sound in the sky. When everyone looked up, they saw Deathwing engaging in a brutal and bloody hand-to-hand combat with the four dragon kings.
Primordial flames spewed out of the sky, forbidden magic spells were cast indiscriminately, all kinds of protective powers were continuously released, and even the clouds in the sky were dissipated by the shock wave . The battle between the five guardian dragons was simply tragic and terrifying.
Taking another look at the baby dragon not far away that was ready to carry them, the players immediately showed an expression of "you're kidding me".
Tian Xiu (Palace Swordsman): "Sorry, I don't think we can do this job. How about we help clean up the monsters in the city first?"
Darabongba (Prince of Alterac): "Yes, yes, I think the situation in the city is more critical. Those evil centaurs must be stopped. How dare they hurt our beautiful night elf sister? I, Darabongba, am the first to disagree."
Qingfeng Lanhuai (Ranger Master): "You are right. As an elf, I feel the suffering of my compatriots. We must save the elves first."
At this moment, Tyrande, riding a white tiger, also discovered the abnormality of the tree tower and rushed over.
Tyrande looked at the strange creatures in front of her in surprise, "Who are you?"
Suddenly she saw a few familiar figures, they were a dozen high elf heroes. Speaking of which, because of their appearance, the number of elves' heroes is second only to humans.
In contrast, dwarf and gnome heroes are very rare.
Varian (Storm Prince): "Please don't be nervous, beautiful elf lady. We are humans and elves from the eastern continent, fighting against the barbaric orcs under the banner of the Alliance. I heard that you are facing the same situation, so I led a group of fearless warriors to join the battle.
I believe we can reach a consensus on fighting evil.”
Floating Dream (Grand Astrologer): "You are right, Ms. Tyrande. Don't look at me in surprise. We are high elves. Although our two races have been separated for thousands of years, we were once one. We heard that the night elves were attacked by savage centaurs. We feel the same way, so we came here to help."
Tyrande's expression was quite complicated. For the high elves, those troubles between the night elves and the high elves were history from several generations ago, but for Tyrande, they were her personal experiences. It was impossible for her to say that she had no grudges in her heart.
But she could also distinguish the important from the unimportant. Now that she was facing a powerful enemy, she would naturally not refuse to have such a group of powerful warriors to help her.
Tyrande sighed, "My city has been plunged into war. I will not refuse any help. Look, those wild centaurs have already invaded the city. There are too many of them. My warriors cannot stop them. Only by guarding this intersection can we cut off the enemy's attack, but my troops have been separated and I can't contact them.
Sure enough, below the tree tower, one could see the Centaur army pouring into the city like a torrent.
When the heroes saw it, their eyes lit up immediately.
Wow, that’s a lot of experience.
Moreover, you can stand on the tree tower to watch the rain. It would be a waste if you don’t make good use of such a good terrain.
Morgan Lisa (Elementalist): "Leave it to us, Lady Tyrande! We will guard this passage. What are you waiting for? Handsome men and beautiful women, start working."
Needless to say, the magic heroes in the team immediately rushed to seize the advantageous terrain. Having fought a long war of attrition with castles and tribes some time ago, they were already familiar with this situation.
More than a dozen heroic-level Archmages, Archetypes, Archastrologers, Archarcs... began to launch crazy AOE attacks against the Centaurs on the streets on both sides of the tree tower.
As everyone stood on the tree tower, it began to rain.
Rain of fire, blizzard, thundercloud storm, star rain...all kinds of AOE magic poured down crazily.
The Centaurs, who suffered a devastating blow, immediately concentrated their forces and launched an attack on the tree tower.
However, those melee heroes built a line of defense on the slope of the tree tower. With more than 20 powerful heroes defending, no matter how many came, they would die.
Tyrande's eyes lit up, but Morpheus was speechless. He had originally wanted to let these players join the battle to help fight Deathwing, but he didn't expect them to just spawn small monsters.
Kalecgos was also a little anxious. "Merpheus, what should we do now?"
Morpheus gritted his teeth and said, "Don't worry, if it doesn't work, I will do it myself!"
The two of them transformed into two giant dragons and soared into the air again.
at the same time--
The Emperor Shenwu was completely bewildered.
What, the Alliance joined the war? Are you kidding me? Aren't they fighting the Horde in the Eastern Continent? Do they have time to meddle in Kalimdor's affairs?
And how did they get here? Don't think I don't understand. Teleportation magic doesn't allow you to teleport anywhere you want. You must have a magic node to be the target of the teleportation. Especially since the Eastern Continent and Kalimdor are so far apart, it is impossible to teleport directly.
If there is no conspiracy here, then something strange will happen.
Damn, it must be that GM’s doing. Since he can’t defeat me head-on, he’s trying to trick me this way. You better wait for my lawyer’s letter.
Emperor Shenwu's expression changed from gloomy to bright when he listened to his subordinates' reports. This war was filled with conspiracy from beginning to end. It seemed that they were going to lose today. This loss was too weird.
I originally thought that the alliance with Deathwing was a pie in the sky, but now I realize that it is a huge black pot falling from the sky.
Well, it's not completely without good news. A team of Centaurs rushed in from the rear of the enemy, led by the Shadow of War.
When the Shadow of War returned with his remaining troops, he saw an extremely tragic war scene.
Countless legions were fighting each other, and battlefields were everywhere.
What a grand scene, haha. I can finally show off my Total War master-level skills.
Compared to missions like ambush Cenarius, Shadow of War still prefers this kind of big battle scene.
However, as soon as he arrived at the central military camp, he saw that Emperor Shenwu had the expression of a hero in his twilight years.
Emperor Shenwu (Khan of the Empire): "Shadow of War, you are back. Just in time. Prepare to retreat!"
Shadow of War (Death Knight): "What! Retreat? No way, Chairman, we are just getting started. We still have a million troops . We can still fight."
"There are no millions of troops left. There are only about 700,000 left, and there are too many enemies. The war is already lost."
"Not really. We still have the advantage in military strength." Shadow of War came to the sand table quickly. "We can send cannon fodder troops to delay the Druid Legion, concentrate our elite forces to encircle and annihilate the Watcher Legion first, and then build several lines of defense in the rear, so that all the vassal tribes can defend layer by layer to delay time. Our large army will use its mobility advantage to directly attack the World Tree. Now that the Holy Tree Legion has left the stronghold, there is a high probability that we can win..."
The Shadow of War is still looking for a turning point in the war on the map .
"There is no chance..." Emperor Shenwu shook his head.
"After all, this world is ruled by extraordinary forces. The number of troops is not a decisive force. The moment the four dragon kings joined the battle, we had already lost three points. I wanted to use manipulation to create a time difference, occupy the city first and then slowly consume the enemy, but I didn't expect that the alliance ... Now that the troops are stationed in a strong city, we can't attack and can't retreat. There is a strong enemy outside, and the initiative has been lost. Among the thirty-six strategies, the only thing we can do is to retreat.
Don't you understand yet? We have no chance anymore. Let's retreat. Let the main army retreat first, leave those cannon fodder clans behind to cover our retreat, and also leave all the wild monsters below level 20 behind. As long as the main force can retreat, we still have the capital to continue fighting.
Also notify the Human Resources Department and prepare to implement Plan B."
Emperor Shenwu is not an ordinary clan leader, but a real group chairman. With one order, the leaders of various clans immediately took action, no matter how reluctant they were.
A large number of cannon fodder troops were left behind. Although their levels were not high, the number was enough to delay time.
The most core clans and tens of thousands of elite troops under the command of Emperor Shenwu began to quickly leave the battlefield.
If they want to run away, the Centaurs are not afraid of the enemy's pursuit. After all, they are a pure cavalry unit and can run away wherever they want.
If the enemy sends people to chase you, if they send too few people , they will easily be killed in return; if they send too many people, they will not be able to catch up.
While retreating, Emperor Shenwu asked casually.
"By the way, where are Gul'dan and Hellscream?"
"Hellscream left. He said he was going home to find his family and son, in the camp behind Gul'dan."
"Well, let Hellscream go. His mission has been completed. As for Gul'dan... don't let him leave. We still need his help to implement Plan B."
