Azeroth Trail of Light

Chapter 95 21. The Great Escape

Dick's war horse was the first to rush into the sea of ​​undead.

With the strength of the holy power in his body now, these low-level undead would feel pain just approaching him, not to mention, when he was riding on a war horse and charging actively.

Before he became a lord, when Dick led the knights to charge, he always had an inexplicable feeling. The knights who were moving super fast, the opponents who were knocked into the air, and the body perception could not even keep up with the speed of the horses. The contact of the passing wind, the contrast between super fast and slow, is like the surrounding light has turned into black and white light and shadow.

That is the romance of knights.

Now Dick is carrying the battle flag of the Silver Hand on his back, and what he holds in his hand is not the Flame of Justice, but a heavy lance more than two meters long. Among them, also known as Dragon Spear, it is said that it is a weapon specially used to deal with dragons.

The conical gun body endows the lance with unparalleled piercing performance. This heavy weapon cannot be directly controlled by hand.

For ordinary knights, once they use the lance, they must lift the lance in the center of their arms and body when charging, making a ninety-degree right angle to the body, and use their wrists to control the lance. When the horses charge at full speed, the knights only need to control the lances forward, and the kinetic energy of the horses can make the lances a powerful weapon that can penetrate everything.

But paladins have stronger power than ordinary knights, so they can support heavier armor, and they can use lances as their main weapons during charges.

Dick led the knights all the way to the position where the mages were besieged. The lance in his hand waved left and right into a whirlwind like a windmill. As the speed of the horse became slower and slower, he and the horse under him separated. The battle line of the knights changed from a simple collision to an attack with the energy of the holy light.

The alternate use of large-scale holy shock and consecration can sweep out a range of nearly 10 meters with one blow. Dick uses this method to create space for the following cavalry to accelerate again. The lion roaring past overhead The Eagle Riders would also throw powerful engineering bombs from the sky to the battlefield in front of the Knights from time to time, creating enough distance for the Knights.

The 300 paladins who rushed over from the Cold Wind camp were all seasoned knights who had proven themselves on the battlefield of West Dallon Mill, so when there was enough space in front of them, they resolutely injected holy light into the somewhat tired horses. , and started to accelerate again.

40 meters is enough to bring up the speed of the horse again.

Using two prongs, Dick, the Knights, and the following warriors, under the cover of the flying soldiers who completely occupied the sky battlefield, approached the mage position in the center of the battlefield in less than 20 minutes.

The Holy Light and the undead, this is a pair of opponents that can hardly coexist, although Dick knows that in the next few years, those free undead who use their own willpower to break free from the Lich King's shackles will also master the Holy Light The method of use, but the appearance of the undead priest is just a coincidence.

At least for now, these low-level undead gathered by Alsace are not of much use in the face of the elite knights charging in groups.

What's more, behind the charging Dick, there are more warriors supporting them, stabilizing the attack, and maintaining this retreat window are their tasks. Dick and the paladins are only responsible for charging!

Rush all the way to the edge of Dalaran and get those mages out!

The destruction of Dalaran is already unstoppable, and these precious mage powers must be preserved to lay a solid foundation for the future counterattack from now on.

However, behind the 300 paladins, there were still wolf cavalry from the orcs, and chocobo knights from the high elves, and the last ones were the thirty steam tanks at the bottom of the chest of the Thunderpike dwarves.

This is a giant steel beast made by the highly developed dwarves and dwarven craftsmen. It is powered by steam, and the speed is not fast, but for ordinary undead, these iron bumps decorated with iron and wood shells cannot be bitten at all. moving turtle.

On the top of the huge steam tank, the dwarf engineers temporarily added a steam-powered multi-fire gun. When Dick saw this black technology for the first time, he almost spewed out. Isn't this the magical version of Gatling Well!

The handmade metal bullets, together with the dwarven gunpowder made by the secret method, let these bursting muskets clear the attack of the undead in an entire area every time they roar.

The main function of these thirty steam tanks is to cooperate with the orc infantry to maintain this escape route, and to serve as the main force for breaking back and suppressing firepower when retreating.

The mages of Quel'Thalas have already set up a portal to Dandabar on the edge of the battlefield. Facing the space blockade arranged by the archlich himself, unless Kael'thas comes in person, there is still no way to rely on them Break this kind of space enchantment that has surpassed ordinary people's understanding.

Don't you see, an archmage of the level of Antonidas, after 10 days of painstaking research in Dalaran, hasn't he been able to break through this layer of space barrier?

Don't underestimate Kel'Thuzad. Although he has become a pathetic psychopath now, his talent in magic cannot be underestimated.

The task of the wolf cavalry and the dwarf goat cavalry is relatively more difficult. As the most flexible of all arms, they are responsible for catching up with the exhausted mages at the fastest speed after the paladins penetrate the sea of ​​undead. In one big operation, Drek'Thar and Fandral even took out all their wealth and gathered a total of 4,000 cavalrymen of various colors. They only needed to run once in such a desperate situation, and all the mages could be dispatched. Pick it up.

Of course, this kind of life-saving is not free. The gratitude for the hidden forbidden knowledge of Dalaran and the most powerful mage organization in the human world is enough for the superiors to take a risk.

As for the chocobo knight, it was purely the selfishness of the commander of the high elves, the Ranger General Sylvanas.

The general was riding the standing horse in the lead, following behind Dick. Her eyes were fixed on the center of the battlefield, which was getting closer and closer, as if she was looking for something.

Of course Dick knew the purpose of Cirvanas. As the contemporary patriarch of the Windrunner family, as an elder sister, it is understandable to care about her sister's safety. Out of the family, but the family love that flows in the blood, if it can be calculated so simply, there will be no regrets in this world.

Although Cirvanas had a cold expression of I don't care whether Vereesa is dead or alive, when she really saw the younger sister who was hugged by Rhonin, who didn't know whether she was alive or dead, General Ranger was still the first Immediately, he rushed off the horse, kicked Luo Ning away in a very angry way, and hugged his sister in his arms.

Wake up! Vereesa, my sister! Wake up!

Cirvanas touched the wound on Vereesa's abdomen, glared at Luo Ning who stood up with murderous eyes, took the clear water handed by the adjutant, and poured it carefully into Vereesa's mouth.

But seeing that Cirvanas was going to accompany his sister on the battlefield, Dick turned his head and took a look, and turned into a sea of ​​undead surging up again, and shouted fiercely,

Sirvanas, arrange for the mages to retreat! Your sister is not dead yet, and she won't die here! Go!

The ranger general is not an incompetent guy, he just messed up his stitches because of his relatives. After hearing Dick's shout, she also reacted, handed Vereesa to the adjutant, and then drew out the war bow and long arrow,

Rangers! Prepare to suppress fire!

Soldiers step forward, defensive formation!

A mage who can still move to help fend off the undead!

Cavalry to choose fellow riders!

Put all these seriously injured guys on the steam tank!

Dick, let your knights rest where they are, and prepare to open the sea of ​​undead again in ten minutes!

Marshal Fandral, ask the Griffin Riders to help that red dragon! Its breath can make us less stressed!

Under the loudspeaker technique applied by Rhonin to the ranger general, Cirvanas' orders were conveyed one after another. Soon, under the command of this general with outstanding commanding ability, a simple defense line was initially established. Finish.

With the brave orcs and dwarves blocking the front, the surviving mages were finally able to unscrupulously display their fort advantages. For a while, this large position mixed with tens of thousands of people was stabilized.

The mages who escaped from the dead cheered, their arrogance could no longer be seen, one by one very obediently followed Cirvanas' instructions, and did their own things. Ronin connected with the sound transmission stone and was still arriving The Archmages of Anslem and Delandon who stood firm in Laran.

After learning that there were still nearly a thousand mages on the side of the archmage Anslem struggling to move towards the position, Dick and the knights charged again. After losing more than a dozen mages who voluntarily broke up , successfully took them back to the position.

However, Archmage Delandon has been unable to contact him, which made Ronin a little uneasy.

But if you are anxious, Luo Ning also knows that the more than 4,000 mages who have been rescued are already the limit that this rescue team can rescue.

The Griffon troops and the mortar squad received orders from the Stormpike Grand Marshal to carry out nearly five waves of cluster bombing against the Crypt Lords in the air and on the ground, together with Sylvanas and Drek'Thar. For support, he forced tons of engineering bombs to force the crypt lord, who had no way to attack the air, back underground, allowing the seriously injured red dragon Krasus to recover his life.

After sticking to the spot for more than ten minutes, the steam tank was cut off, and the paladins were protected by the ranger troops in the middle of the road ahead, and the transfer troops were transferred by two people and one rider.

The orc and dwarf cavalry basically carry a mage each. In this case, it is very difficult to speed up.

Although it is a rescue, in Dick's view, this is completely a great escape, and it is indeed the case. If he can get the full support of the entire Knights of the Silver Hand and the Quel'Thalas Dynasty, He is confident in defeating these undead head-on, but in fact, whether it is the Silver Hand or Quel'Thalas, there are more important things to do, and Dick feels that this aid can reach the current level. , I am already worthy of these mages.

You know, in the original history, after Dalaran was destroyed, the number of mages who survived was not even one-sixth of the original number. When they arrived in Stormwind City, when Dalaran was in danger, they led the three-clan alliance and saved more than 4,000 mages from the hands of the undead.

It can be said that Dick has saved nearly half of Dalaran's power by himself!

But this is his limit... Facing half a million undead, no one can ask him to do better.

When the transferred large force, after losing five steam tanks and nearly a thousand casualties, finally succeeded in getting rid of the pursuit of the undead, when Ronin and Randa Locke saw the red man on Dick's back. The miserable appearance of the dragon mage Krasus, when the archmage Ansrem, who finally left Dalaran, painfully conveyed the news of the death of the archmage Antonidas to everyone, these proud mages even knelt Wept bitterly on the ground.

Arthas used a mind-blowing scheme to make Dalaran fall, and ambushed and killed the leader of Dalaran with unparalleled power, the strongest archmage in the human world. The endless sea of ​​undead under his command even almost killed Destroyed the last power of Dalaran.

This continuous bad news is like a series of slaps in the face, slapped on the faces of these mages one after another, and officially announced to the whole world the horror and power of the natural disaster of the undead.

Lordaeron and Dalaran, Tirisfal, West Dallonmir, Silverpine Forest, Land of Ghosts, and the Seven Kingdoms Alliance have already perished in the ravages of undead natural disasters. Even the kingdom of magic, Quel'Sala Si, also turned around on the verge of destroying the country, and nearly half of the entire northern border fell into the control of the undead natural disaster.

If the previous natural disaster of the undead was only a trouble in northern Xinjiang, then now, this natural disaster has become a trouble for the entire Eastern Continent.

But Dick knows... this is really just the beginning of 20 years of stormy Azeroth, just the prologue of all disasters.
