Menethil's Power

Chapter 146 The Day of the Dragon ([-])

"Hurry up, idiot!" Nekros said irritably, lashing a whip at a peon pushing a cart.

At this time, there was a panic inside the Dragonmaw Fortress, and the orcs began to gather, but the location of the assembly was in the opposite direction of the battlefield. He didn't have much direct contact with the enemy, so he fled without fighting.

When Nekrus announced this decision, it naturally caused an uproar, but the lame orc obviously didn't want to explain, and he was actually acting as the chief, and he enforced this order forcefully.At this time, the first batch of orcs, who mainly used to explore the way, had left Dragonmaw Fortress, and all the dragon eggs had been loaded into crude wooden carts, and several adult males who were seed dragons were also tied together On the flatbed truck, like livestock.

But the red dragon queen, Alexstrasza, did not have to suffer such treatment. At this time, all the chains on her body were touched, and Nekros took out the dragon soul and shook it in front of her eyes, "turn into a human form." Orc Said out of breath.

Alexstrasza opened his eyes, a look of humiliation flashed through the golden red vertical pupils, but in the end he did as he said, the huge dragon body turned into a tall figure in a burst of crimson light, her The face is somewhat similar to that of Christasa, but the figure is more plump and mature, full of temptation.

After all, she is already a mother,

The queen's eyes were cold, "You are already in a desperate situation, do you still want to fight?"

Nekros didn't want to talk nonsense with the female dragon at all, "Shut up and leave with me." He whispered.

So this team with the hope of the whole Dragonmaw clan began to evacuate, leaving behind the Dragonmaw Fortress, which still had a large number of orcs, and the dragoons who were still fighting against the alliance. All knew that most of them would fall prey to slowing down the Union's march.

This kind of behavior that completely violated the orc values ​​was a huge blow to the morale of the army. The orcs in the team were talking about it all the way, but when there was a sudden shocking fire and loud noise from the fort behind them, all the arguments subsided. The orc stared blankly at the fortress that seemed to have been punched by a titan head-on, and couldn't help but start to imagine what it would be like if he was still inside.

Neklus sneered, these stupid clansmen had to see the essence of things until they happened, they never realized that the fundamental need of the Dragonmaw clan is not the glory or victory of battle, but just survival .As long as we can survive, there is still hope for everything.

Nekros glanced at Alexstrasza behind him. The Red Dragon Queen had her hands bound, and her gait was a little staggering, so as not to be very weak.This is exactly the hope of the Dragonmaw Clan, so Nekros thought, as long as he masters this dragon-producing machine, the Dragonmaw Clan or the tribe will have the capital to make a comeback anywhere.

The alliance's offensive this time really has a sense of irresistibility.This was obviously a premeditated surprise attack, absolute intelligence suppression, and a decisive and devastating blow. They seized the time when the Dragonmaw clan's defenses were the most lax. The siege weapons, let Nekros see no hope of winning.

Then there is only one option, and that is to retreat.The flat wetlands cannot be a place of defense, and the only option for the Dragonmaw clan is to enter Dun Algaz, through the tunnels there to reach Loch Modan and the Badlands, and establish a permanent habitat.

But now there is still a question, that is, why did the alliance leave such a big retreat for the orcs? Only a certain amount of soldiers and griffin knights are needed. The retreat of the Dragonmaw clan will pay a huge price. In front of him, he did not see any alliance forces.

This made Necrus wonder again, is it because of the limited force?Or is there another way?But no matter what, the Dragonmaw clan who lost the initiative can only bear it passively. This is what makes Nekros very uncomfortable. The advantage of the orcs over humans was ruined by the idiot Doomhammer a few years ago.

As the traffic artery connecting the wetlands and the mountains of Khaz Modan, Dun Algaz was strangely unguarded, which aggravated Nekros's suspicion. Instead of letting everyone enter the tunnel directly, he sent several A scout inspected the situation inside the tunnel, which made the team come to a standstill. Upon seeing this, several experienced veterans began to organize other orcs to form a simple defensive formation with their backs against the rocks.

This move proved to be crucial.

The ground began to vibrate faintly, and smoke and dust suddenly rose from the distant horizon. The orcs looked over in horror. They all knew that it was the movement of human cavalry. Obviously, the alliance was chasing them.

A heavy cavalry armed to the teeth came, holding high a sword and shield banner, both knights and horses were wrapped in thick dark silver plate armor, their number was not many, only about a thousand, but their speed was extremely fast The momentum is also extremely astonishing.

A feeling of annoyance spread in Necrus' heart. He made a mistake. The alliance's back move was not in the tunnel, but the cavalry unit. "Prepare to defend, chase those stupid dragons!" He ordered loudly.

All the dragoons are delaying the alliance's main force at the front, but there are still a few red dragons in this fleeing team, all of which are deformed species that cannot fly due to overbreeding. They were driven to the forefront by the orcs, staggering It sprayed flames at the human knight who was already approaching.

"Holy Shield ready!" Isaacs, who was at the forefront of the charge formation, ordered calmly. Yes, this cavalry unit is exactly his family's Heaven's Punishment Legion. Grim Batol's mountains are not suitable for war horses, but The flat terrain of the wetland is enough to give full play to the advantages of cavalry.

The Punishment Legion is an army of pure professionals, and with Isaacs' almost unlimited military support, even the lowest ranks of soldiers are equipped with pure-blooded Gilnean mountain horses and a full set of high-quality equipment mixed with Mithril , so even if there are only more than a thousand people, and because the fast march does not bring heavy equipment such as punishers or immortals, the combat effectiveness is still amazing.

At the forefront are all veterans who followed Isaacs in World War II. Following Isaacs' order, the paladins headed by Baldrige and Reinhardt began to agitate the holy energy in their bodies at the same frequency, and the holy power exchanged Connected together, a huge and solid barrier was formed in front of the entire charging team. Neither the breath of the red dragon nor the arrows hastily shot by the orcs could shake this indestructible sacred wall.

The speed of the cavalry was very fast, and the two armies soon came into contact with each other. This sacred barrier exploded loudly. The one-way sacred impact caused the defensive line organized by the orcs to collapse suddenly. Each of them was stabbed by dozens of cavalry spears. They roared and began to fight back with their own dragon claws, dragon teeth and dragon tails. Orcs perish.

As one of the few armies in Lordaeron that has been fighting all the time, the Punishment Legion cooperated very tacitly. Baldrige and Matt Horner immediately pulled their mounts to stop charging, and led a part of the paladins to deal with these land dragons, while the rest The paladin drove his horse and continued to charge into the orc formation bravely.

Driven by some warlords, the orcs rushed over like a tide. This is also the scene that cavalry charges often face. Once the speed advantage is offset by the enemy's crowd, the weakest are the cavalry.

Isaacs pierced the chest of an orc who was trying to attack his mount with a spear, and then swung his backhand, sweeping away the green-skinned beasts rushing from both sides. The elven sword-like Torslow is not suitable for cavalry combat, but With Isaacs' wealth, he naturally didn't need to think about weapons. The Arcanite spear in his hand was of excellent quality, not to mention advanced enchantment.

However, Isaacs didn't need to make a move after that, and the paladins behind him quickly stepped forward to protect him in the center.

The young prince was a little helpless about this. These subordinates are really loyal, but this seems to have directly exposed his identity as the coach.But there was no time to worry about these, Isaacs who freed his hand threw out a bright yellow gemstone with a palm emblem, the gemstone floated above Isaacs, shining slightly, Isaacs stared at it, lifted himself slightly With his right hand, he began to fully mobilize his spiritual power and holy energy.

The brilliance of the silver hand flickered, and every time it flickered, its light became stronger. After a few breaths, it became as bright as the sun. Isaacs looked back at it and snapped his fingers very easily, as if greeting him at a dinner party. The waiter asked for an extra glass of red wine.

But this snapping of fingers is not the red wine, but the sacred flame. The silver hand's brilliance, which has reached its peak energy level, suddenly erupts. The fire of dedication sweeps across the battlefield centered on Isaacs like a storm. Countless faint light spots come from here. A piece of holy fire flew out and poured into Isaacs' body.

"470 three." The young prince whispered a number. After the radiance of the silver hand purifies the evil, it will feed back a certain percentage of energy to the user, so Isaacs is very clear about the power brought by his holy version of the flame storm. As a result, the Glory of the Silver Hand is indeed the core of the Ashbringer, and in order to resist the impact of the cavalry, the formation of the orcs was too dense, so they lost nearly a quarter in an instant.

The paladins who rushed into the enemy's formation would naturally not be harmed by the holy flames. After being momentarily stunned by the strength of the coach, they immediately drove their mounts to attack again—the space cleared by Isaacs was enough for them to gain Charge speed.The orcs retreated steadily, and it was difficult to hinder the advance of the Heaven's Punishment Legion.

Nekros stared at the surrounded figure. He never expected that human beings also possessed a powerful artifact. Although it might not be as powerful as the Dragon Soul, the other party's control was obviously greater than his own.Humans' preparations were beyond imagination. This was a huge threat that had to be resolved immediately. The orcs took out the dragon's soul without hesitation, and violent power began to gather on the golden disc.

It is true that Nekros cannot play the full role of the Dragon Soul, but besides controlling the red dragon and summoning a magma rager, he has at least mastered a basic method of use, and he can use the Dragon Soul with a simple guide. The power of the soul releases energy rays. As for the power of this ray, in the original timeline after being strengthened by the Four Dragon Kings and World Sa, even Deathwing in dragon form could not withstand it, and eventually died because of it.

There was a dangerous smile on the corner of the orc's mouth. He was sure that the human leader would not have any ability to resist the attack of the dragon soul, and after killing him, he would have two artifacts,
Two artifacts!Greed can make people lose their minds, so Nekros's mind relaxed a bit at this time. The energy condensation of the dragon soul has been completed. Just as he was about to launch, the orc suddenly felt a sudden rush of wind from behind. A killing intent, a sense of a huge threat that he is about to die.

Nekrus turned pale with fright, the greed that had just risen receded cleanly like a tide, this energy ray was naturally missed, the golden energy beam brushed against the flanks of the Punishment Legion, and the affected few Two paladin recruits died immediately, and their holy shields were pierced without any blocking effect.

However, Nekrus didn't care to check his own results. He quickly pulled out his hatchet and slashed back, but unexpectedly, there were no enemies and no attacks, as if it was just a hallucination.

Surprised, Nekros kept changing directions. He was sure that it was not an illusion just now. There must be a powerful stalker spying in the dark. "Come out! Coward!" the orc roared.

The laser beam emitted by the dragon soul naturally caught Isaacs' attention, and he quickly found the orc holding the golden disc. "Finally found you, Nekros." Isaacs said in his heart, this orc and the golden disc in its hand are the fundamental goals of all his plans, and now, it's time to end it.

"Leave this orc to me, and you can deal with the others." Isaacs said to the subordinates around him. The paladins looked at each other in blank dismay, but out of obedience, er, their bounden duty, they finally gave way to the commander.

Isaacs nodded at them, but repeated what he said just now. This time, the target of his speech was no longer the paladins, but a certain stalker hiding in the dark.

The tone is not small, and I don't want to think about whether there will be a transparent hole in my body without me.Valeera, who was moving forward, curled her lips and smiled disdainfully, but in the end she followed her word and gave up this easy goal.She wasn't worried about Isaacs' safety, because the female elves had fought with Isaacs a lot on the Broken Isles, so they knew his strength very well. This orc was a suitable opponent for the young prince, tricky but not invincible .

Perhaps the tempering of this battle is the opportunity for Isaacs to advance.

Isaacs thought the same thing, but he had to add that the astonishing drop of Nekros was also an important reason for him to take the shot himself. This is not to say that he wants to monopolize the loot, but that the Dragon Soul has too much to do with it. He felt that it would be better for him to deal with it by himself, who was fully prepared.
