Volume 5: King of the Mountain Chapter 277 Father, Don't Be Shocked
The first to launch the attack were the ultra-long-range firepower of both sides.
The orcs' catapults shot out burning stones, and the Alterac army's crossbows also fired huge crossbows. Every strike could kill a few unlucky guys.
Boom boom boom! A series of explosions created several balls of fire in the orc army.
It was the dwarf mortarmen of the Lordaeron army who were launching the attack with mortars.
King Aiden looked at them with envy. Alterac was a poor and remote place, and the siege weapons they used were still old weapons such as catapults and crossbows. Unlike a wealthy country like Lordaeron, they had already spent a lot of money to introduce mortars, a cutting-edge thermal weapon, from the dwarves of Ironforge, and also hired a large number of dwarf gunners to serve in the army.
It has to be said that when it comes to building relationships and finding allies, Terenas is definitely a master. The Lordaeron army not only has dwarf gunners, but also elven mages and gnome engineers. In terms of comprehensive strength alone, it is far stronger than the feudal army of Alterac which is composed of a single type of troops.
The two sides exchanged artillery fire and suffered mutual damage. At the same time, the army lines began to move forward slowly, approaching the other side.
The army of one hundred thousand men moved very slowly, and the orcs rarely used the mindless reckless tactics of the F2A, but also maintained their formation and slowly approached.
The first to attack were, without a doubt, the adventurers from both sides.
Unlike the NPC army that fought in strict formations and obeyed orders, these adventurers did not have any fixed positions or battlefield tasks. Adventurers were unorganized and undisciplined anyway, so they were not assigned specific tasks before the war. Instead, they were allowed to attack freely and serve as skirmishers in front of the two armies.
At this time, a group of skilled and courageous mages and warlocks rushed to the front of the enemy's formation on horseback, dismounted and began to cast various AOE magic, bombarding the army formation.
Blizzard, rain of fire, chain lightning...all kinds of AOE magic were thrown around crazily. Such a dense formation was simply a paradise for players to kill monsters and level up.
Moreover, due to the restrictions of military orders, the soldiers who were being bombarded had no way to hide. Waves of blizzards and fire rains came down, and groups of orcs fell down immediately.
Old Saurfang was furious. "These damn adventurers are disgusting. Archers—kill them!"
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, a dense rain of javelin arrows came rushing over. The ranged troops in the Orc army shot frantically at these daring spellcasters, but the mages and warlocks who dared to do so were generally of a relatively high level and had powerful protective magic protection, such as Frost Shield, Demon Skin, Stoneskin, and some even had teammates protecting them closely, holding up shields to absorb firepower, and most of the javelin arrows were blocked.
It wasn't until Drek'Thar hurled out a super-large chain lightning, knocking down more than a dozen players, that the rest of the players calmed down a little.
The orcs also sent out some adventurers, but compared to the Alliance, the level of the Horde adventurers was much lower. Most of them were only in their teens or twenties, and those at level 30 were considered masters.
There is no powerful magic at all, and it is easy to die if you are hit by concentrated fire.
After several rounds of testing magic bombardment, it was clear that the Alliance had the upper hand.
However, the tribe also has a backup plan. At this moment, behind the tribal army, more than a dozen high-level shamans are casting spells together, and on the ground, a huge summoning circle is gradually being completed.
As a dazzling white beam of light shot up into the sky, an ice elemental lord more than thirty meters tall was summoned.
'Ice and Snow King' Lokhora (Ice Elemental Lord), Disaster Level 3, Level 86, HP 124,000.
The appearance of that huge figure immediately stunned everyone present. The orcs cheered loudly and their morale was greatly boosted.
'Ice King' Lokholla (Ice Elemental Lord): "I am the Ice King from the Frost Land. Let ice and frost freeze everything!"
Super blizzard!
As the elemental power continued to gather around the Ice Elemental Lord, the sky was covered with dark clouds and cold winds howled, forming a huge ice cloud and dense hailstones fell madly.
It was also a blizzard, but the range of the adventurer and the wizard was only a dozen meters, but the area of the BOSS was over a thousand meters, almost covering half of the battlefield. Huge hailstones fell madly. Although the hailstones were not very dense, the lethality was amazing. One hit would cause over a thousand injuries. Human soldiers fell down in large numbers, and there were heavy casualties for a while.
The situation of victory immediately tilted in the direction of the tribe.
But the princes here were not pushovers either. They immediately fought back. Several magic princes rushed to the front of the two armies and began to fight back with heroic magic.
Although the killing range is slightly worse than that of the Ice Elemental Lord, it can withstand the large number of people.
After several powerful attacks, the tribal army also suffered heavy casualties.
Murphy looked at the magic brothers who were frantically harvesting experience and felt itchy in his heart. With so much experience, no wonder their levels were so high. It must be said that the upgrade of magic profession was really too advantageous, especially in such a large-scale war, it was simply an experience harvester.
Although they can get some share due to the team relationship, it is nothing compared to the people who took action.
It would be unreasonable not to reap some of the benefits myself.
The experience gained under the hero template is still too slow. Even the power of dragon breath is much weaker. You still have to transform into a dragon.
However, before transforming into a dragon, there was still one thing he had to do. He winked at the brothers around him, and everyone immediately understood.
Several princes rushed to the front of the two armies and shouted loudly.
Darkseid (Prince of Alterac): "Listen, you stupid orcs, the Mountain King Aiden is here. If you surrender quickly, I will spare your lives, otherwise I will kill you all."
The Great Military Advisor (Prince of Alterac): "The great Mountain King is brave and fearless, invincible in the world. You despicable orcs have no chance. Surrender, beg for mercy, and tremble in front of the power of the Mountain King."
Sigurd (Prince of Alterac): "Human warriors, cheer! The King of the Mountains is fighting alongside you. This is your honor. Warriors, for the King of the Mountains! Kill!"
Get Some French Fries (Prince of Alterac): "The Mountain King is the best! The Horde pigs are all idiots! If you don't surrender, you will all die!"
Several more princes lined up the four large flags they had prepared and raised them behind Aiden.
The first side reads - King of the Mountains.
The second side reads: Invincible.
The third side reads - Orc Nemesis.
On the fourth side it was written: Kill them all.
The princes' actions immediately made Aiden's face change drastically. "You, what are you doing?"
Darkseid (Prince of Alterac): "Haha, father, don't be so excited. We all know how brave and fearless you are. This is a surprise prepared to show your kingly demeanor."
Sigurd (Prince of Alterac): "Yes, yes, father, as the king of the mountains, you deserve such honor. Let those orcs know your majesty and dominance, and they will surely flee."
Aiden was so anxious that he was speechless for a moment. He didn't think that the orcs would be scared. He was very clear about his status as the "King of the Mountains", which was all supported by the reputation of his ancestors.
At this moment, there was indeed movement in the orc army. The orc infantry on both wings launched an attack at the same time. At the same time, an elite wolf cavalry unit also rushed directly towards this side.
This cavalry unit is composed entirely of level four soldiers, including Frostwolf Knights and Blackrock Wolf Knights . The leader is dressed in domineering armor covered with fangs and barbs, and holds an exaggerated soul-splitting axe in his hand. He is old Saurfang.
Seeing this group of orcs rushing towards him with murderous intent, Aiden hurriedly called his son to protect him.
“Hurry, hurry, hurry—”
The princes were obviously confused. "Father, are you going to go and fight the orc general yourself?"
"Haha, you are worthy of being my father. Well done."
"My father is mighty and domineering!"
Aiden (King of Alterac): "Asshole, why are you going to go up? Get out of the way. I need to go to the back to command the battle." Aiden turned his horse and was about to retreat to the back, but a row of ten princes behind him blocked his way and he could not retreat at all.
Darkseid even secretly released an attack - "Evil Frenzy" - on the mount under Aiden's crotch.
[Evil Frenzy: Grants a target a 50% attack speed bonus and a 30% movement speed bonus, and makes it lose its mind and frantically attack the enemy closest to it, lasting for 60 seconds.]
Strictly speaking, this skill is a benefit skill, so it will not be considered an attack by the system.
The warhorse was caught in an evil frenzy, and its eyes suddenly turned red, and it rushed forward like a madman.
The closest enemy to it is old Saurfang in front of it.
"Damn it!" Aiden was so scared that he pulled the reins of the warhorse desperately, but he couldn't pull it.
When old Saurfang saw this, he immediately showed a look of admiration. He was indeed the king of mankind. He dared to challenge him alone! Well, let me fight you in a fair fight. Let me see how powerful the King of the Mountains is.
"Everyone, get out of the way. This human warrior is my opponent!"
Seeing the orc commander on the opposite side raising his battle axe high, the black axe was as big as a millstone, Aiden was so scared that his soul almost flew away.
How could he have the courage to fight head-on? Fortunately, Aiden was the king of a country after all, and the equipment he had was still very good, especially some magic accessories and magic rings.
A ring on his hand flashed white light - Dispel!
The warhorse's eyes suddenly regained clarity.
Seeing old Saurfang charging towards him wielding the Soul-Splitting Axe, Aiden turned his horse and was about to flee, but at this moment, a loud shout came from behind him.
"Don't be alarmed, father, Fengxian is here!"
It was the God of War Lu Bu, charging towards him with a Destroyer Halberd in hand.
Aiden was delighted, "My son——"
The next second, a cold light flashed, and the horse under Aiden's crotch was beheaded.
Aiden was immediately thrown off his horse.
He climbed up in a panic, and when he turned around, he saw the God of War Lu Bu charging towards a Frost Wolf Cavalryman on the right without even looking back.
Old Saurfang's mind was full of question marks, and Aiden was so angry that his eyes turned black.
Grab the accessory on the chest and start directly.
Holy Emblem - Shield of Holy Light.
A golden protective shield immediately protected him. This was a treasure that he had spent a lot of money to get from the Cathedral of Holy Light. With a durability of 5,000 points, it could definitely last until he ran back.
However, at this moment——
"Don't be alarmed, father. Sigurd is here!"
All things retreat!
A powerful dispelling magic fell on him, and the magic shield on Aiden disappeared instantly.
Sieglet's dispelling magic did not distinguish between good and bad, and all of them disappeared. Then, without looking back, he killed a Frostwolf cavalryman on the left.
Aiden was so angry that he almost vomited blood - what a rebellious son!
"Father, don't be alarmed. Darkseid is coming!"
King Aiden was so frightened that he waved his hands hastily, "Don't come! Don't come!"
Yet there was no room for him to refuse.
Evil frenzy!
Aiden's eyes turned red, and he turned and rushed towards old Saurfang.
At this time, old Saurfang also came back to his senses from his shock.
Although I don’t know what is going on, I’ll just fight first.
What a great human king! Old Saurfang couldn't help but feel a hint of admiration in his heart. He dared to charge forward even without a warhorse.
He rushed forward wielding the Soul-Splitting Battle Axe...
Three minutes later——
[World Announcement: King Aiden Perenolde of Alterac led the charge in the Battle of Ice Wolf Fields and fought against the orc high-ranking warlord Saurfang. He died heroically in battle. This event has been recorded in the Sky Chronicles.
King Aiden was the first king to die in the First Orc War. His bravery and fearlessness earned him the title of King of the Mountains.
