Menethil's Power

Chapter 84 Gnomeregan is Mine!
Gnomes' personalities are often divided into two extremes, one is relatively simple, such as the great craftsman Mekkatorque and the former Milfis, they are pure research talents, while the other is downright funny, such as Millhouse's husband, the famous Azeroth comedian Mr. Millhouse Manastorm and the equally famous Willfred Fizban.

This sorcerer who is said to be the most gifted among the gnomes has only done one major event in his life. He successfully summoned Jaraxxus, the king of the eredar, in the Argent Tournament held by the Argent Crusade. The demon ruthlessly turned around and crushed to death with one hand, leaving a classic negative teaching material for subsequent demon warlocks.

Unfortunately, the character of the Obno engineer seems to be more inclined to the latter. He groped in front of the laboratory gate for a while, and then slapped himself on the head: "Damn it! I really want to remember the wrong password!"

Milfis' aircraft vibrated again, making Isaacs wonder if this sophisticated mechanism would disintegrate in just a few hours. "As the main person in charge of the laboratory, you actually remember the wrong password!? Can you be more careful?" The voice of the female dwarf showed a hint of madness.

"I usually only need the director's key to enter the laboratory. The password management is the job of apprentice Olsen. It's a pity that his bones have been crushed by cavemen now." Obno spread his hands innocently,

There was a clear inhalation sound from the aircraft, "Where's the supervisor key?"

Obno's expression became a little embarrassed: "It's still in my residence, about half a city away from here." In order to make up for his mistake, he hurriedly said: "But the password is only [-] digits. We have plenty of time, and we can…”

An urgent and piercing voice suddenly interrupted him, "Alarm! Alarm! Intrusion alarm! Intrusion alarm!" This pure noise is very annoying just to listen to, Obno felt as if he was choked for a moment , can't say a word.

"You don't have enough time now." Melfis gloated and added.

Obno jumped up excitedly, "Which idiot is that?? The one with no eyes! Can't you recognize that is a large warning light? Or can't you see the blinding red light?"

"I'm sorry." A guilty voice came, and Luo Ning suddenly appeared, holding a broken alarm robot in his hand, "I seem to have triggered the alarm mechanism of this robot, but I destroyed it immediately , should not cause any serious consequences."

"Won't it cause too serious consequences?" Obno snorted contemptuously, "You underestimate my work, the alarm robot 2000 can send an intrusion alarm to half of Gnomeregan in half a second , what kind of trouble do you think we will encounter?"

Isaacs' face changed instantly. The dwarves' individual combat ability is indeed not high, but it is absolutely impossible for their half company of paladins to compete with a civilized race.There was no time to blame Ronin for his damn curiosity. Isaacs looked around and gave the order without hesitation, "Everyone charge in the opposite direction with me! We must take down the passage entrance!"

Judging from the current situation, the only option is to buy enough time for Obno to crack the entrance of the laboratory, and then leave Gnomeregan through the passage behind the laboratory, but how to defend is a huge problem, Ai Sachs is thankful that he never skipped a lesson in military theory, so he can make the right choice at this critical moment.

Most of the gnome soldiers in Gnomeregan are equipped with long-range weapons, and their shooting skills have not been reduced after being transformed into leper gnomes.Although the young paladins were able to fight all the way to the engineer's laboratory, most of them relied on surprise and close-up tactics, and this advantage no longer existed in open areas, and they would directly become living targets.

Unfortunately, in front of the gate of the laboratory was an empty metal platform with no shelter, so they had to turn passive into active, and seize a dominant defensive position before a large number of leper gnomes arrived.

Matt Horner grasped Isaacs' tactical thinking for the first time, or he thought of the same strategy earlier, and the young adjutant quickly added Isaacs' order, "Protect the knights and step forward! Hold the shield and step forward! Others Men follow cover!"

The paladins quickly and calmly completed the formation, and the pale golden holy shields formed a great wall, advancing forward with an unstoppable momentum.Reinhardt alone constitutes half of the Great Wall, and his Holy Energy Barrier has an overwhelming advantage in this small-scale battle.

The first thing they faced was a group of mechanical chocobo cavalry. Obviously they happened to be patrolling nearby. These leper dwarves first fired a volley, and the dense lead bullets splashed little ripples on the holy shield, and then launched a charge without fear. , the radiation mutation has completely turned them into fanatical lunatics.

This is exactly what Isaacs wanted to see the most. He actually went alone. These cavalry scattered and harassed, but since they stupidly chose to charge forward, it would only cause negligible obstacles to the paladins at most.

After clearing out a few waves of miscellaneous soldiers who came first, the paladins reached a narrow metal corridor they had passed by when they came, and Isaacs immediately signaled them to stop and garrison.This is the best defensive position. They only need to face the enemy directly in front. In addition, there are protruding metal as a cover, and the arc-shaped passage can also enable them to effectively avoid the shooting of leper dwarves.

It turns out that Obnor wasn't bragging, that the alarm-droid was indeed a fantastic robot, and that it had actually brought half of the lepers out of Gnomeregan.After trying to fight in close quarters but paying a lot of casualties, the leper gnome very rationally chose to suppress firepower while keeping a safe distance. Under such a hail of bullets, the paladins were completely suppressed, but the leper gnome Can't make any progress either.

The Holy Knight's holy weapon can only be regarded as a medium-range attack, so Squall and Rhonin can only use spells to fight back. Considering such a small environment, Squall, a heroic mage, had to avoid using large-scale attacks. Lethal spells are used to avoid causing damage to both sides, so the two sides are evenly divided for a while.

Although a lot of damage can be avoided with the help of the arc of the tunnel, the holy shields of the paladins are still being consumed at an alarming rate. Some dwarf archers can even use the tunnel to shoot perfect bounce shots. Compared with Uther the Lightbringer, there will inevitably be a period of exhaustion, and there will be a large number of casualties.In the end, even Isaacs had to step up and play his most compelling role as a commander.

Just when Isaacs was gnashing his teeth and secretly regretting being with these unreliable dwarves, a loud sound of the engine turning came from the rear, "****, that old guy is finally done." Isaacs burst out in a rare way foul language.He quickly issued an order, and the paladins immediately began to retreat in batches in an orderly manner.

The holy shield at the front was still maintained, so the leper gnomes didn't notice it. Isaacs winked at Squall, and the mage immediately began to guide, and after a few breaths, he cast the first legion spell in this battle .

A huge sphere composed of flames and lava suddenly appeared and rolled down the corridor. The effect of living meteors can only be said to be average on other battlefields, but it has a miraculous effect in this narrow one-way passage. Isaacs can hear He didn't want to see the results of the explosions and screams, but directly led the remaining knights back quickly.

On the way, he saw Obno who was still standing there. Although he couldn't see his expression through the helmet, Isaacs clearly felt his confusion: "How is this possible? I just tried to get the ninth place." He murmured muttered.

"It's really strange, but we have no choice." Isaacs brought up the dwarf engineer and broke into the dark laboratory without looking back.

The others had already been waiting here, and Milfis' aircraft turned on its searchlights again.After Isaacs walked in with Obno, the door was quickly closed, and additional reinforcement procedures were carried out.

"The reaction this time is really quick, Obno." Milfis's voice was rarely filled with good emotions, "I know how to cut off the rear and stop the pursuers."

"But I didn't do anything." Obno's voice was a little confused.

"What?" Milfies' tone changed immediately, "Everyone is on alert, we are not out of danger yet, there are..."

There is no need for Milfies to remind, a blue electric light suddenly appeared and hit the small aircraft, its propeller stopped running immediately, the metal body was glowing with electric light, and then fell to the ground and turned into a A bright flame.

A faint light suddenly lit up in the darkness, revealing a huge black figure, and at the same time an arrogant and crazy voice came, "I'm sorry, Milfis was once a charming girl, but She's just too loud right now."

"Therma Plug! Why are you here!" Obno's voice became very thin and trembling.

"Wow! Look who this is! The rats in the gutter have finally caught themselves, what a happy event, are you right, Engineer Obno?" Suddenly all the lights in the laboratory were turned on, and Isaacs also Finally, I saw the whole picture of Gnomeregan's biggest boss.

On the outside, Thermaplugger is just an ordinary dwarf. Although it is green, his car is not ordinary. It looks more precise and stable than similar goblin manned logging machines. Its A high-speed spinning wheel saw is installed in the left hand, and a lightning launcher is installed in the right hand as a powerful long-range attack method.

Isaacs couldn't help complaining secretly. Sure enough, Ronin's halo was not covered. Now there is a boss in front and pursuers behind. It's an extremely embarrassing situation.

"Are you mad, Thermarplugg? You can dissent, and you can question the decisions of the High Tinker, but why would you destroy all of Gnomeregan and turn our countrymen into such monstrosities?" Obno asked angrily.

"Monster?" Therma Prager snorted coldly, "Don't you think the dwarf is what this race should look like now? A stronger body, a smarter head, and endless aggressiveness, this is what it should look like. Ideal race."

He manipulated the mecha and took two steps forward, and the lightning launcher turned around towards Isaacs in a demonstrative manner, "Gnomeregan is mine! I should be its real owner! Mekkatorque is just a Incompetent fool! Look at what he has done! We have the most advanced civilization and technology, but he wants us to bow down to those brainless dwarves!"

Therma Plug's voice became more and more sharp and crazy: "We are the masters of this world, our steel and machinery will rule everything! Why do we have to live in such a small underground city? Look at you! You actually want to hire these crude benzene humans to deal with me! Is this how a good engineer solves problems?"

"You must be crazy..." murmured Aubunor, stunned.

"Am I crazy? History will prove who is the heroic reformer, and who is the cowardly conservative!" Therma Prager said triumphantly, and he manipulated the mech to take two steps forward again, "I give Your chance to join my glorious cause, Obno, welcome this great change!"

Isaacs, who has been ignored all the time, coughed twice, "Well, Mr. Therma Prager, do you really think we are determined?"

"Oh? Can't you wait to be crushed by my big guy?" Therma Prager looked at Isaacs like a pig, "This laboratory has been completely covered with real silver alloy plates Blockade, you have nowhere to escape!"

"So those leper dwarves outside can't enter here?"

"Does it take much strength to deal with you inferior races?" Therma Prager said sarcastically.

Isaacs sighed. This dwarf careerist seemed to have a funny personality, just a naive big dwarfist, and the artisan council actually made his rough plan succeed. "I must remind you," Isaacs deliberately slowed down his tone, "first, you are too superstitious about your mecha, and second, as a villain, you talk too much nonsense."

Before Thermaplugg could react, the young prince yelled, "Do it!"

Squall immediately released several ice arrows, aiming directly at Thermaplug in the cockpit. A large area of ​​frost covered the glass of the cockpit, seriously hindering Thermaplug's sight , At the same time, more than fifty paladins simultaneously cast the most powerful magic skill they have mastered - the sword of light.

The recovery speed of holy knights in non-combat state is extremely amazing. When Thermaplug announced his ambition, the young paladins had already accumulated enough holy power.As a directional and instant non-ballistic spell, the Sword of Light can be said to be the most suitable combined attack skill, and Isaacs trained them specially before, with the intention of dealing with those unreasonable heroic orc warriors, but he did not expect to be in the used here.

All the more than fifty luminous blades were hit, and the power was already close to the full blow of a heroic paladin. Coupled with a Pyroblast technique connected by Squall, the chest of Thermaplug's mech suddenly exploded, The entire mecha was instantly torn apart, but the frozen cockpit was still intact, and the bombs flew out in the explosion.

Isaacs looked at the result with satisfaction, and couldn't help showing a sneer at the corner of his mouth. Do you rule Azeroth with technology and machinery?This is really a joke. In this high magic world, how powerful can a machine powered by conventional energy be?
