Volume 5: King of the Mountain Chapter 285 Heavy Assault
"What, Durotan is dead!" Old Saurfang stood in front of the two armies with an expression of disbelief on his face.
The battle on his side had now turned into a war of attrition. Tens of thousands of human and orc warriors were fighting in a scorched earth on a battlefield more than a thousand meters wide, with the battle lines almost intertwined.
Although the combination of Saurfang + Drek'Thar + Samuro is unstoppable, there are only three of them after all, while the princes of Alterac have more than a dozen. When they saw that they could not defeat him head-on, they simply gave up the fight and just adopted a two-way fight.
More than a dozen princes divided their troops into four groups and led the Alterac army to attack from all sides, launching attacks at various points on the front line at the same time. Although Saurfang was able to defeat the human army in front of him every time, the tribal army also suffered huge losses in other places.
Saurfang can only defend the center line now to ensure that the Horde line will not be too damaged. The princes of Alterac are also very cooperative and do not advance too deep, for fear that old Saurfang will cut off their retreat.
For a moment, they were in a stalemate.
Saurfang was considering whether to use his trump card when he received such bad news .
"What happened? How did Durotan die? Wasn't he mobilizing troops in the back?"
The adventurer who came to report the news said helplessly, "It was a dragon that could spit lightning. It also brought a group of dragon riders and launched an attack directly from the air. Durotan led his troops to fight the dragon to death, but was eventually killed by the dragon."
"It's the Storm Dragon King named Aidandelon!" Drek'Thar said angrily. The death of Durotan undoubtedly dealt a huge blow to the Frostwolf Clan.
Old Saurfang gritted his teeth and said, "Don't be sad. Death is inevitable in war. This is the fate of being a warrior. Don't forget that we just killed the human king. This is not a loss. As long as we can finally defeat the enemy, Durotan's death will not be in vain. Even for him, we must win.
Now I will take over the command! Messenger, collect intelligence immediately and tell me how the battle is going. "
Soon, wolf cavalry came to report the news.
"Lord Saurfang, the Young Wolf has already defeated the human left wing and is currently clearing out the remaining enemies. They will be here soon."
"Well done. Hmm - tell him not to come over to join us. Lead the troops to attack the enemy's left flank and flank the enemy. Join me on the battlefield."
"Yes, Lord Commander!" The orc cavalry immediately went to convey the order.
The good news was immediately followed by bad news.
"Report to the Lord Warlord, our left wing has been defeated, the frost trolls have been routed, and the Lordaeron army will soon launch an attack on us."
Brox Saurfang (High Warlord): "Damn it. I knew those trolls were unreliable. How many reserves do we have?"
"There are no more reserve troops, but there are still 20,000 wounded soldiers in the wounded camp."
The so-called wounded soldiers were naturally adventurers who had died once. There were a large number of adventurers in the tribe, as many as 30,000, but their combat effectiveness was a bit weak, so they almost kept dying after entering the battlefield, and the first wave had almost been wiped out.
However, if you only have one layer of wounded DEB UFF, you can still maintain some combat effectiveness.
Brox Saurfang (High Warlord): "Then gather all the adventurers, guard our flanks, and move the Ice King over there as well. We must stop the army of Lordaeron at all costs."
The current situation is very clear. The main forces of both sides are concentrated in the center of the battlefield. Whichever side can defeat the enemy's main force first will win the battle.
Saurfang hesitated for a moment, "We have to put some pressure on the enemy. Send out the Crusher!"
As the order was given, a thousand heavily armored Blackstone Crusher lined up in neat rows and appeared in the center of the battlefield like a black line.
This was the troop that Orgrim specially arranged for the Frostwolf Clan when they went north. Although the Frostwolf Clan had brave warriors, wolf riders who moved as fast as the wind, and shaman legions who could control the elements, they lacked heavy armored troops. Therefore, these one thousand Blackrock Heavy Crusher have become the trump card in Saurfang's hands.
When they stepped onto the battlefield in full gear, King Ogranque's army immediately felt tremendous pressure.
A black row of heavy infantry slowly and steadily crushed all the Alterac infantry in front of them and pressed towards the Alterac main camp.
Darkseid (Prince of Alterac): "It's a Level 4 Heavy Infantry! Send out the Royal Guards immediately. We can't let the enemy break through the center line."
The Royal Guards were also a very precious heavy-armored force of the Kingdom of Alterac. More than a thousand Royal Guards, fully armored and holding large shields and steel spears, lined up in neat rows and advanced forward. Their silver armor gleamed with a cold metallic luster on the snow.
Two groups of iron warriors with the same cool looks rushed towards each other.
However, as soon as they met, the princes realized that something was wrong.
It is true that the Royal Guards are a heavily armed force, but they are mainly used to fight against cavalry. Their weapons are steel shields and spears, which can effectively resist cavalry charges.
However, when facing heavy infantry, the effect is very general. The spear has average lethality and it is difficult to pierce the heavy armor made of black iron by the orcs.
The Blackrock Heavy Crusher on the opposite side was a professional melee heavy infantryman, armed with a magic iron battle axe with armor-breaking and shield-breaking troop affixes. It was a perfect counter to the Royal Guards, and in one encounter it forced the Royal Guards to retreat continuously and fall down in large numbers.
The royal guards could only form a shield formation and try to delay the enemy's attack.
God of War Lu Bu (Prince of Alterac): "Damn, I was careless! Hold on, bro. Guys, get behind me."
The God of War Lu Bu led a team of Borean Knights and went around to the rear of the Orc Heavy Infantry Phalanx. However, Saurfang had fought in many battles, so how could he not be prepared? He immediately sent a team of wolf cavalry to contain them, preventing the God of War Lu Bu from completing the Iron Hammer Tactics.
Victor (Prince of Alterac): "I'll go too, Highland Warriors, follow me!"
He led the Defeat Highland Warriors to launch an outflanking attack from the right side. The Highland Warriors were level 3 light infantry with a charge skill. Although the charge power was far less than that of the cavalry, it could at least disrupt the enemy's formation. Moreover, the Highland Warriors had an armor-piercing affix, which could also pose a threat to the heavy infantry.
However, groups of orc infantry immediately blocked Victor's attack route. The tribe was not short of this kind of third-level melee infantry, whose combat effectiveness was similar to that of the Highland Warriors, and they easily stopped this team of Highland Warriors.
Seeing that the center line was constantly being squeezed and even the formation was difficult to maintain, several mage princes rushed up and began to cast magic from a distance. However, Saurfang just charged, and the princes were immediately frightened and scattered, not daring to move forward at all.
There was no way. Saurfang was completely crushing these bronze and silver princes, and no one wanted to die.
The princes shouted to the soldiers from afar, "Hold on, hold on!" However, they were unable to stop the army's collapse.
At this moment, a dragon roar suddenly sounded in the sky, and a black shadow suddenly appeared above the battlefield. Who else could it be but the Storm Dragon King.
With a dive, the eleven storm dragons behind him followed.
Breath of Thunder!
Red lightning swept across the battlefield. The dense formation of the orcs maximized the power of lightning. The heavy armor made of black iron had amazing defense and high fire resistance, but its resistance to lightning attacks was completely negative. The armor on their bodies was completely for conducting electricity.
With just one breath of thunder, hundreds of Blackrock Heavy-Armored Crusher were either killed or maimed.
Eleven dragon riders followed closely behind, and there was another crackling sound of electricity.
Breath of thunder and lightning!
Thunder strikes!
Boom boom boom boom!
For a moment, there was a roar of thunder. Murphy flew up, circled, and then dived again. On the ground, Drek'thar hurriedly commanded the long-range troops to fire into the air.
But Murphy directly activated the Hurricane Armor, easily blowing away the oncoming rain of arrows, and also protecting the young dragons behind him.
After two or three dives, this heavy infantry cluster of the Orc Legion was broken up. Although there were still a few hundred left on the battlefield, they were in complete chaos and could not form a crushing momentum.
The princes were stunned.
"Wow, where did this dragon come from?"
"Sieglet said it was Brother Aidan who became."
"Awesome! He can even turn into a dragon."
"Isn't he a warrior? Why did he change his job to a druid?"
"I think it should be magic, some kind of legendary spell."
All the princes were envious, no wonder he could kill Durotan alone.
The Storm Dragon King circled and flew to the left side of the battlefield.
