Volume 8: The Road to the Ancient Dragon Chapter 468: Breaking the City
It's over! It's all over!
Looking at the collapsing city wall, Anasteria felt a chill in his heart.
He had just released a powerful forbidden spell, and the erosion of arcane energy brought his body to the brink of collapse. Then he witnessed the collapse of the Silvermoon City Wall. The huge blow caused severe damage to his body and mind.
The whole person became extremely depressed in an instant, and even felt a little at a loss.
My mentality completely collapsed.
Fortunately, he had already delegated the command of each unit to lower levels, so naturally the heroic lords leading the troops would respond at this time.
The closest to the gap was the arcane puppet army led by Count Reil. At a command, dozens of five or six meter tall arcane puppets immediately blocked the gap, followed by hundreds of elven warriors and mages.
Dozens of arcane puppets lined up in a row and pressed towards the orc infantry pouring out of the gap like a city wall.
Then they fought with the orcs' vanguard at the gap.
Fortunately, only a section of the city wall was crushed. There were still mages on the city walls on both sides. They cast magic at the gap from above, interrupting the orc infantry line and finally blocking the gap.
At the same time, more troops rushed towards the gap.
"It's over, it's all over!" The Sun King was still muttering to himself. Although the gap was temporarily blocked, there were too many orc troops and the elf army was limited in number. I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to hold out for long.
Alpha (Elf Swordmaster): "No, father, it's not over yet. As long as we can plug the gap, everything will be fine. The enemy's numerical advantage cannot be brought into play in this narrow gap. We can still continue to fight. For the people of Quel'Thalas, we must fight to the end."
After hearing this, the Sun King finally regained some composure.
"You're right, we must fight to the death." He forced himself to continue fighting, but staggered and almost fell.
The elf princess who was supporting him at the side hurriedly pulled him back.
The elven royal family on this side of the city wall were anxious to seal the gap.
At the same time, the tribal leaders outside the city were in a completely different situation.
Looking at the opened gap, Badao Wuqing felt relieved immediately. He was scared to death. He didn't expect that even the No. 0 weapon would be destroyed. Fortunately, he managed to penetrate the city wall at the last moment. If he failed, it would be really terrible.
Now all we have to do is to fight our way into the city and we will win.
Ba Dao Wu Qing (Great Chieftain of the Horde): "Attack, all-out attack!"
A tide of orcs rushed towards the gap.
"Magic mecha attacks!"
More than a dozen giant magic mechas that are forty or fifty meters tall, driven by evil energy engines, marched towards the city wall with rumbling steps and roars. Although they are much inferior to Supremus, they stand out from the crowd compared to magic puppets.
These magical mechas are enough to destroy the walls of Silvermoon City and expand the advantage.
Even though he sent out the siege troops, Badao Wuqing was still worried.
The enemies in the city will certainly gather their forces to guard the gap, so we must send out a force that can make the final decision.
He looked at the orc warlords around him, ignored their requests for battle, and set his eyes on Garrosh.
The Ruthless Tyrant (Warchief of the Horde): "Garrosh - it's time for you to show your abilities. Lead my Kor'kron Guard and charge through that gap. Don't stop. Break through the enemy's defenses in one go. Go for the Horde!"
Garrosh Hellscream (Warlord of the Blade): "It's the Warchief - for the Horde!"
Faced with unprecedented challenges and glory, Garrosh remained unusually calm. Amid the envious gazes of the orc warlords around him, he took the Arcanite axe handed to him by the soldier - Gorehowl was taken away by his father, so he had to make do with this.
Three thousand Ku'karon Chieftain Guards were assembled.
This is the royal guard specially formed by Badao Wuqing for his own safety. It is an elite unit composed of elite warriors drawn from major clans. Although it is not an extraordinary army, it is not inferior to it. These 3,000 Ku'karon guards are not only powerful, but also have extremely high health points, each of which has more than 2,000 health points. There are also thousands of spellcasters responsible for assisting in combat.
Badao Wuqing also specially hired someone to develop the most perfect reinforcement system to ensure that this force can exert its maximum combat effectiveness.
First, each person is given a bottle of potion.
[Devil's Blood Hot Drink (Drink/Consumable)
Use: Gain a Demonic Fury buff that lasts 24 hours.
Item Description: Carefully blended from the demon blood of the Abyss Demon King and multiple herbs, the violent power of the demon blood is successfully retained, and the drinker is prevented from falling into eternal depravity. 】
This is one of the latest battle supplies developed by the Horde, as a replacement for Demon Blood.
After all, drinking demon blood can easily lead to loss of sanity, and fel energy will pollute the environment and can easily be exploited by the Burning Legion.
In comparison, the demon's blood potion is much better. It takes effect immediately after drinking it, and the effect will disappear after 24 hours and the body will be back to normal.
Then, hundreds of shamans began to cast "Bloodlust" on these guards.
Bloodlust: Increases your movement speed by 40% and your attack speed by 25%.
Hundreds of warlocks cast 'Fel Frenzy' on them!
Fel Frenzy: Increases the unit's attack frequency by 75% and drains health at a rate of 4 points per second.
Then came the blood priests from the Bleeding Hollow Clan, who also inflicted "Bloody Frenzy" on them.
Bloody Frenzy: Increases your attack power by 80 points, granting you an additional 5% critical strike chance. This effect is increased by an additional 10% for each unit you kill that grants you experience points.
These orcs were blessed with four buffs in succession, and they suddenly became like possessed by the god of death, with red light emitting from their bodies.
Then there were the newly trained orc mages who added various spells such as acceleration, brute force, etc.
Finally, everyone puts on an 'anti-magic shield'.
Riding on their prepared wolves, three thousand Ku'kron guards, led by Garrosh, rushed towards the gap like an unstoppable torrent.
At this moment, the battle at the gap in the city wall had become fierce. Countless mages crowded on the walls on both sides, madly bombarding the gap with magic. Stonewall, Spider Web, Grease, Mud, and Fire Wall were madly released at the gap.
Trying to use magic to seal the gap again.
On the tribal side, there were also groups of warlocks and shamans, blasting lightning and fire at the city walls.
There was also a great shaman who cast earthquake spells on the city wall to expand the scope of the gap.
Countless orc warriors rushed into the gap, but were immediately blocked by the line of arcane puppets. They fell under the bombardment of countless magics, burned to ashes, and electrocuted into charcoal.
The elves were also blood-thirsty, and more and more elven warriors were thrown into the meat grinder to block the gaps between the arcane puppets.
For a moment, this small area of the gap was like purgatory, and the flesh and blood of orcs and elves were scattered all over the ground like mud.
Fierce fighting also broke out around the gap. At this critical moment, the elves of Silvermoon City fought to their utmost. Even those adventurers who were not working very hard were infected by the fanatical atmosphere and fought bravely.
Even the powerful magic mecha cannot achieve a breakthrough. Its huge body often makes it the priority target of the elven wizards and magic towers. Under a saturation attack, its health points of hundreds of thousands can only last for a few minutes.
At this moment, a group of orc warriors with a lot of buffs came rushing over.
As soon as this army appeared, it immediately attracted the attention of the elven wizard on the city wall.
Burning Heart Listening to the Sea (Great Elementalist): "Hold on, aim at the gap, and fire at full force!"
The Elf Prince shouted, estimating the distance of the enemy's charge. He was about to send a firestorm when he suddenly felt a chill coming from behind him.
Before he could interrupt the spell to flash or freeze, he was hit on the head by the huge axe, splitting him in half - killing him instantly.
The other mages turned around in horror, and the figure of a burly orc suddenly emerged in the air - Grom Hellscream, who appeared on the top of the city wall at some point in time.
"Damn it!"
“Damn it!”
"Knock him down!"
Faced with this killer-like guy, the mages were instantly stunned. They were all focused on unleashing fire, and never expected that they would be approached so easily.
Before he could make a move, Grom came over like a windmill.
Blade Storm!
The iron battle axe swept across the narrow city wall like a whirlwind, and flesh and blood flew everywhere. The Blood Roar easily tore apart the weak bodies of the elven wizards. They quickly flashed away when they saw the opportunity, and those who hesitated for a moment immediately became the dead souls under the axe.
A storm of sword blades swept past, clearing the city walls in the blink of an eye.
At this moment, three thousand elite soldiers led by Garrosh also rushed over.
Seeing that the firepower at the gap was weakening, Garrosh subconsciously looked towards the top of the city wall, only to see Grom nodding slightly at him.
Garrosh suddenly felt excited.
His father has been protecting him, so he cannot fall behind.
"kill!"
While the mage troops had no time to reorganize, this fierce cavalry directly charged through the gap.
They charged directly at the gaps between the arcane puppets. The moment they passed through the gaps, they chopped and smashed the thigh joints of the arcane puppets with their battle axes. The orc warriors in the fourth level of berserk state were extremely powerful. The bulky arcane puppets fell one after another and were knocked down in the blink of an eye.
Faced with the attack of these powerful orcs and seeing that the front line was about to collapse, the Sun King sent out the elves' last ace infantry.
"Lawbreaker attacks!"
The Spellbreaker is a special type of soldier unique to the elves. It combines magic with combat skills, and with the enchanted elven armor on its body, it can resist and fight , cast magic, and counter the opponent's spellcasting units.
It has always existed as the Royal Guard.
It is also the Sun King’s last trump card.
However, facing these powerful men, hundreds of newly assembled Law Breakers were scattered at the first sight.
There is no other reason, the gap in strength is too big.
The orcs relied solely on brute force and the magic iron battle axes that had magic-breaking effects to easily tear apart the elves' exquisite armor.
The ferocious orcs knocked away the shields, cut through the flesh, and tore the formation apart in the blink of an eye.
The elven lord in charge was about to reorganize his formation when a tall orc rushed in front of him.
He hastily drew out his sword and prepared to engage in battle, while at the same time using an earthbinding technique to immobilize the opponent's mount.
The orc simply abandoned his mount, leaped into the air, and chopped him in half with his axe.
Garrosh pulled the battle axe out of the elven lord's chest, feeling that he had learned something new. This move could be considered a family secret.
In the blink of an eye, a tide of orcs poured in through the gap.
The elves could no longer hold out, and the elven warriors who came to support them were not enough to sustain their losses.
Seeing their front line being completely shattered and the subsequent orcs rushing in in large numbers, the faces of all the princes and princesses changed drastically - it was over, it was really over this time.
Silvermoon City was breached!
Once the gap is opened, it cannot be closed anymore. Even though all the people in Silvermoon City are soldiers, they have only assembled 100,000 troops, including a large number of civilian mages. They can only throw a fireball from a distance, but once the orcs get close to them, they will be completely defenseless.
At this moment, the surging orc army overwhelmed everything.
The elven princes and princesses fought and retreated, engaging in hand-to-hand combat with orcs in the streets and alleys, using magic to turn the ground into a swamp and setting the walls of houses on fire.
However, this can only delay the time.
Alpha chopped down an orc adventurer with his sword, and looked around with an extremely ugly expression, "Damn it, how could this happen? It's only been one day!"
He did not participate in the Battle of Stormwind, but he never imagined that Silvermoon City would be conquered in one day.
The key is that there are too few adventurers. Without adventurers to serve as cannon fodder, the defense only relies on the NPC army, and every death means one less adventurer.
If there were 100,000 adventurers here at this moment, how could they be defeated so quickly?
On the other hand, the adventurers from the tribe were simply inexhaustible.
Looking at this desperate situation, the Sun King calmed down instead.
He suddenly broke away from his daughter who was supporting him, took a deep breath, and raised the staff again.
Anasterian (Sun King): "Silvermoon City has fallen, but you cannot stay here to die. Go, my children, and leave here with the hope of Quel'Thalas. I will be your last."
"Father!"
"Father, let's go together."
"Yes, Father!"
After saying this, everyone still has a very good impression of the Sun King. Although he has an arrogant personality, he is handsome. In this age where appearance is dominant, he is naturally favored by many girls.
Even those male players who had no feelings for this cheap old man couldn't help but feel moved at this moment.
After all, this kind of drama of separation of life and death is rarely encountered in reality.
Even if it was just a gaming experience, it still made everyone feel sad.
In particular, some of the more emotional female players hugged the Sun King's arms and burst into tears.
The Sun King was very pleased to see these filial children. It also strengthened his determination, "As the king of the elves, I must continue to fight for my kingdom.
Go away my children, don't let my sacrifice go to waste."
…
Although surrounded by tribes, the elves have no shortage of teleportation magic.
If you want to leave, you can't keep you.
In the palace square, several great wizards joined forces to summon a giant portal, and a large number of elven nobles and civilians fled into the portal.
The players are not here to sit back and do nothing. If they are leaving, they must evacuate as many citizens as possible.
The evacuation was extremely hasty, as no one had thought that Silvermoon City would fall in one day.
Fortunately, the palace itself is a fortress, and there are several small magic towers on the city wall that can provide fire support. Before the siege weapons come in, they can hold out for a while.
At this moment, Badao Wuqing had already led his army into the city, going deep into the city along the main gate avenue, and laughing as he looked at the burning city and countless corpses around him.
"Hahahaha, it took Orgrim several months to attack Stormwind City, but I only took one day to attack Silvermoon City. That's the difference."
"Captain, the elves are making a final stand in the palace, and they are still evacuating civilians."
"It doesn't matter if some of them escape, but don't kill the prisoners randomly. Send troops to attack the treasury. Oh, and first send troops to occupy the Sunwell."
The Sunwell is just north of Silvermoon City, just past Silvermoon City.
Compared to Silvermoon City's treasury, the Sunwell is even more valuable.
Badao Wuqing issued various instructions. This investment was considered stable, but not completely stable. Next, the development schedule of the Sunwell would be brought up.
