Kill you, but I changed my mind

"Look, humanity's floating fortress! Azeroth's first floating fortress in history, what Elf Empress couldn't do, has been accomplished by humans."

In the Light Weaver camp south of Arathi Highlands, in the area where the Exodar spacecraft was docked, Vigilant, who had just arrived from Wetlands, raised his head and saw the shining City of Magic under the clouds.

He was very satisfied with the picture of Dalaran suspended in the clouds, and all the defense Mage Tower firing together to shoot down the demon.

This is the "Dalaran" in his memory.

Of course, Diakum wishes that Dalaran in this timeline will not suffer the bad fate of "three destructions and three constructions" in the official history. This city occupies a very important space in many major events.

It is like a microcosm of the destiny of the human race.

"The technical verification of that cool-looking city has actually not been completed yet. This thing is just a semi-finished product. Theoretically, it could crash down at any time and randomly kill a group of lucky demons."

Archbishop Nali, who replaced Diakum to command Light Weaver, whispered:

"According to the reports I received from the Grand Maguss of the Arcane Scholar Clan, the reconstruction of Dalaran is actually only about 60% complete. The city should need at least one year of construction before it can be put into actual operation.

But Marshal Lothar's Northern Expedition is too important to the fate of the human race, so Master Antonidas overcame all objections and asked Dalaran to participate in the war to regain Stromgarde today.

Shaping the city into Floating City was also Grand Magus's idea. He had already had this idea when he was preparing Nathrezim Academy's graduation project a few years ago."

"But humans do not have enough technical reserves, so this Floating City is the result of the joint intervention of multiple forces, right?"

Diakum gave the order to gather to Fareeya beside him, and the whole camp started to move. Light Weaver entered the Exodar spacecraft, and Vigilant also boarded the spacecraft with Neri.

When entering the navigation station, Dick asked:

"From the details I saw, Dalaran's flight magic uses some of the technology of the Naaru spacecraft, especially the teleportation module, which is exactly the same as the scene when the Exodar spacecraft makes a space jump.

The auxiliary towers they built around the city Mage Tower clearly used the Auchenai Crystal Tower technology developed by the Draenei Clan, but they were "localized".

The Arcane Barrage fired by those auxiliary towers are very accurate, which is obviously the enemy tracking technology of Army of the Light."

"Yes, Arcane Scholar Clan was deeply involved in the armed transformation of Dalaran. Ms. Vilara even personally modified part of the internal energy guidance structure of Dalaran, simplifying the originally cumbersome energy circulation.

I heard that Dalaran purchased a large number of mechanical golems from Quel'Thalas as a defensive force. The mages also obtained some Titan Technology from Steamwheedle Cartel and modified those golems themselves.

Nar'thalas Academy provides a complete set of magic recycling and reuse secrets in the Elven Empire era, and also uses the "imitation version Tidal Stone" produced by Blue Moon Dean as the second energy core of Dalaran Floating City."

Neri started the spacecraft in front of the navigation station. As Diakum sat on his Golden Throne, Exodar's gem clusters quickly Gleam up, which was a symbol that the spacecraft was about to take off for combat.

Holy Light energy from Vigilant quickly filled everywhere with the help of the connection between the throne and the spacecraft system, and Light Weavers have also entered the combat position.

They will use the ultra-classic teleportation tactics to jump directly into the city and build one advancement base after another for Lothar and Seventh Legion in the place where demons gather.

Due to the discipline of Vigilant not to intervene in civilized internal affairs, Light Weavers are unable to participate in human civil war, but demons obviously do not belong to "human internal affairs", and Light Weavers are also happy to join their human fighting brothers in attacking Burning Legion's last stronghold in Azeroth.

In fact, slaying demons can be regarded as "relaxation" for the Light Weavers who have been fighting all kinds of evils and monsters in Azeroth.

"Buzz"

As the Exodar spacecraft slowly took off, under the micro-control control of Diakum, the spacecraft gradually accelerated in the air and headed towards the battlefield of Stromgarde.

A few seconds later, Diakum saw the rock spikes below Dalaran Floating City "split" outward like a machine, and under the control of magic, a super-large energy crystal hidden inside was exposed.

After a short period of charging, the crystal burst out with a dazzling Arcane light that hit the devil city below.

The continuous erosion of magic power, like the throwing of heavy aerial bombs, continuously triggered violent explosions. As Dalaran moved forward in the air, a real "Dead Scar" was drawn between Stromgarde and Land of Demons.

This familiar energy attack made Diakum happy.

He said:

"Isn't this the attack mode of Tempest Keep's "Light's Judgment" main gun? Although it is much weaker than the starship's main gun in terms of destructive power and duration, it is obvious that the mages have mastered such technology."

"That is a gift from the prophet Velen."

Neri explained:

"The prophet admired mankind's struggle very much. After learning about Dalaran's transformation plan, he sent such technology to the Dalaran mages.

The energy-gathering crystal used for attack under their city comes from the remains of Genedar. Human beings are currently unable to produce this special crystal that highly concentrates energy. In addition, the core components of various offensive Crystal Tower used in their city also come from Apexis Crystal polished by the Gorian Empire and Arakkoa Kingdom.

It can be said that this unfinished Floating City is the crystallization of the magical power of two worlds.

It represents the unity of human civilization and the Draenor world.

Lothar values this unity very much, and Antonidas Grand Magus also solemnly made a promise to the prophet. As long as the spell casters in the Draenor world are willing to study at Dalaran, the Arcane Truth mastered by human mages will be open to them."

"Well, that's right. After Dalaran is completely built, you can let it go to Draenor through Dark Portal, walk around there, and stimulate the casters of Draenor.

They need to stand up!

Especially Mar'gok, we have to create a similar magical wonder for the Ogre Empire.

Find enough things for it to do. The ambitious Ogre Warlord will not think about things like power and conquest. It will have to be a Ogre Shaman that has escaped from low-level tastes."

Diakum snorted and said:

"I will control Exodar. After the ground bombardment is over, Light Weaver Warband will enter the ground attack mode! Send out Light-Forged Dragon to assist Dalaran in air defense. The number of Mage Tower in this city is a bit small. When the number of demons increases, they will not be able to hold on.

I don't want to see Dalaran fall before my eyes."

A moment later, with Antonidas Grand Magus watching with relief, he saw the gemstone clusters Gleam of the Exodar spacecraft descending from the clouds three times.

Just like an experienced driver turning on his lights to say hello, Grand Magus also raised his staff and shot three Arcane arcs of light into the sky in response to his kindness.

Well, we are all experienced drivers, and we are very good at driving etiquette.

"Boom"

Exodar's escort cannon opened fire on the Demon City below. The powerful firepower of this serious starship secondary cannon was an eye-opener for human mages.

Two golden streams of light blasted into the center of Stromgarde city. Under the manual control of Diakum, they drew a semicircular arc in the city full of demons. Wherever the scorching light reached, the demons and their ridiculous defense lines were wiped out.

Because Exodar is currently controlled by Diakum, the Holy Light energy of this spacecraft comes directly from Vigilant, causing the damage of the starship's secondary guns to also have the effect of "Ashbringer". The demons who died under the bombardment have no chance to be resurrected by the Twisting Nether lottery.

Subsequently, triangular Teleportation Beacons were scattered into the city by Exodars.

Land on the ground and open the portal, allowing the Light Weaver Warriors to rush into the city with great morale, shine a little Qidian light on this demonic land, and dispel the violent Fel shroud.

This scene also gave way to the "Lord Stromgarde" who was located above the city Fel Tower. Demon King Kurul suddenly stood up from his demon throne.

After Kazzak "surrendered" to the enemy, Doom Lord's former adjutant Kuruul accepted Fel's promotion and became the leader of Eredun Doom Guard.

It is a very ferocious and powerful Doom Lord, but the lessons learned from Kazzak are there after all, which makes Kuruul feel frightened when facing Vigilant.

This is normal.

Except for Abyssal Lord, who is a natural-born warrior, there are few demons who can muster enough courage in front of Vigilant and his Forged Light Chapter.

But Kuruul knew it couldn't retreat.

After Polluter's world invasion failed, Azeroth's defense was taken over by the Shaper Sargerei. Although it seems that all Burning Legion's strongholds in Azeroth have been eliminated, the Shaper has its own war plan.

It is mobilizing troops to launch a new offensive against Azeroth. The elite of the Burning Legion has already assembled at Star of Mardum. At this moment, Kuruul has been given the mission of "collecting intelligence and persisting in fighting".

The meaning of this command is very flexible.

Sarkir is very "humane" and does not require Kuruul to die here. Therefore, theoretically speaking, Kuruul, as the current "Azeroth Demon Commander", can retreat whenever it feels necessary.

But the military regulations of the Burning Legion are here.

If it abandons the city and flees without fighting, then it will be severely punished for "flinching" after returning to Twisting Nether, so it would be better to die here in battle.

But the good news is that Diakum controls the Exodar spacecraft, which means that Vigilant will most likely not have time to go to the battlefield to kill it in person.

Demon King Kurul rolled his cruel eyes. Perhaps Stromgarde's fall today is unstoppable, but he must perform well enough to ensure that he will not be sent "Legion Tribunal" that will scare the devils after he returns.

The most important thing is to prepare in advance!

Once Light Butcher appears on the battlefield, he will immediately make a tactical retreat.

"Open the portal!"

Kuruul stood up from his throne and roared to the frightened subordinates standing around him:

"Summon Abyssal Lords into the battlefield. Those big and violent men are eager for war and destruction. Today, they will definitely be able to return with satisfaction.

Let the Man'ari Fel Warlocks start casting spells!

Gather all Fel on the tower and wait for my order."

"But Lord Demon King!"

A trembling Man'ari Heavenly Punishment Lord pointed at the sky and said in a weak tone:

""Light Butcher" is here. Diakum is on the battlefield. He is recognized as the nemesis of evil. How about we retreat? We can't get support from the Burning Legion here at all. There is no need to die in vain here."

"Bah! Look at your weak bear look! What qualifications do you have to call yourself the commander-in-chief of the Burning Legion? Lord Sargeras's face has been completely embarrassed by you!

You Man'ari need to be ashamed."

Demon King Kurul grabbed his ferocious Doom Blade, and it cursed:

"What happened to Light Butcher? Is Light Butcher the same as Invincible? Why doesn't he go to Argus to directly challenge Great Demon Lord if he is so powerful? Don't be scared by him!

Although Diakum is victorious in every battle, he is definitely not Invincible."

Demon commanders below, look at me and I look at you.

They all felt that Kuruul must have lost his mind!

Yes, yes, Light Butcher is definitely not Invincible. The problem is that it is not something that we crooked people can touch.

If you ask the Shaper and the Conqueror to say this, it's pretty much the same.

Our group of demons are just the defeated soldiers left behind in Azeroth. It's enough to bully humans. But if we challenge Light Weaver, isn't that asking for death?

Could you please, Your Majesty the Demon King, recognize his position?

"Huh, what a bunch of bastards."

Kuruul cursed:

"Go, go, I'll be annoyed when I see you! Go to the tower and prepare the portal. After our army bravely annihilates the enemy, we will successfully transfer to Star of Mardum."

This order made the Man'ari commanders' eyes light up.

Right.

This is the correct choice for the demons when facing Diakum.

When one's own side cannot produce a strong opponent, it is only worthy of the cultivation of Dark Titan and Great Demon Lord to avoid the edge temporarily and preserve the strength.

"But since we are going to fight, we must achieve results. We cannot withdraw casually to avoid being underestimated."

Kuruul sneered and waved his paws, saying:

"Activate the "Felsteel Annihilators" brigade! When humans rely on the power of Diakum to invade the inner city, give them a little "Burning Legion shock" to prevent the Azeroth natives from thinking that we Burning Legion have no one."

"As you command!"

"Seventh Legion, follow me Charge!"

Lothar drove his Holy Light Steed and bravely entered Stromgarde's outer city battlefield.

He is very cautious.

After the Light-Forged Dragons used the breath of holy flame to destroy the Fel cannon on the Stromgarde city wall, they started to ground Charge in order to minimize casualties.

The Stromgarde was conquered with the assistance of the Dalaran and Exodar spacecraft. This battle may seem fierce, but in fact the danger is not great because of the high intensity of the foreign aid.

But Light Weaver's assistance only ends there.

The next battle between Northern Borderlands and Lordaeron Dragonborn will be a tough and bloody battle. The smaller the casualties of the Seventh Legion and Army of the Light in Stromgarde, the easier the subsequent battle will be.

Moreover, Light Weaver people will not enter the inner city of Stromgarde. The human capital must be recovered by humans themselves.

This is a matter of imperial rule that must not be accomplished through the hands of others.

"Windsor, lead the Warriors to break through all the strongholds! Light Weavers have won the position for us and must hold it."

Lothar led the Iron Horse Knightss who were no longer what they used to be to disperse a group of Demon Guards who were stunned by the explosion. He gave orders to his adjutants and then shouted to Danath·Thorbeinns who were fighting fiercely in front:

"Danath, go find Prince Garin and his Dragonborn knights, and solve them as soon as possible."

"Prince Muradin, I need your dwarf artillery to be sent up to the city wall, to continuously suppress and fire, so that the Gryphon Riders and the dwarf bombers can also move. Wherever the Warriors rush, their bombing support must arrive there!"

"Sir Fordring, order Army of the Light to prepare for the great dispersal ceremony. The ceremony should not stop before capturing the Devil's Tower! I don't want to see Fel counterattack and interfere with my advance."

Orders were issued one after another, and the armies under Lothar began to rotate.

He himself took on the most dangerous task, with the Iron Horse Knightss as the core, selected the elite Seventh Legion as the backbone, followed Lothar all the way through the war-torn outer city, and rushed towards the devil tower in the inner city.

Commodore Daenerys and White Pawn followed closely as Lothar's guards.

Under the continuous Arcane bombing by Dalaran in the sky, Lothar's advancement was extremely smooth. When they arrived under the inner city wall, facing the roar of the demon cannon and the Hellfires constantly summoned by the Fel Warlocks, the marshal made a gesture, and White Pawn immediately took off a unique horn from his waist.

When Varian blew the horn with all his strength, the last special force under Lothar also appeared in the shadows.

Bloodfang Worgen led by Bolvar Fordragon roared, and they walked in shadow across the city. They would burst out from the corner of the inner city wall amidst the sound of horns.

The crazy wolves started with the blessing of Bloodlust, and they also summoned giant wolves to accompany them.

Just like a small-scale "wolf disaster" suddenly broke out, the demons Warlock were caught off guard. Faced with the werewolf's Backstab attack, the spellcasting position was disrupted in an instant.

But those Fel cannons are still a big problem.

This thing is a filthy creation of the devil. It looks like a magical machine, but in fact it contains a howling soul sealed inside.

This is a unique "mechanical devil".

They have their own consciousness, and even without the control of Gorgor Demon Technicians, they will still use their hot mouths to continuously spray out deadly Fel ammunition to trigger detonations of destruction to satisfy their crazy desire for killing.

Lothar originally planned to use the bombing of Gryphon Rider to eliminate these Fel cannons, but unexpectedly an unexpected "reinforcement" appeared on the battlefield at this time.

Sarkareth Scalelord fell from the war-torn sky like a meteorite. When this sturdy Dracthyr Warrior smashed into the city wall, it waved the Dragon-Slaying Spear in its hand and destroyed the two ferocious cannons nearby.

It let out a dragon roar, and then Blackscale Camp and Warrior flew through the air in a formation flying manner and entered the city wall position.

"Marshal of humanity, we use this victory to repay Stormwind Kingdom's hospitality!"

Sarkareth Scalelord stood on the magic steel city wall, and made a Dracthyr courtesy to Lothar below, and said loudly:

"I have heard of the oath left by the king of this city. Only those who regain this place are qualified to become the emperor of mankind. You are a truly admirable hero, but we can only help you deal with these evil creations.

You have to fight the war in the inner city yourself.

Good luck to you, brave humans."

"Thank you, majestic dragon."

The marshal laughed and raised the Strom'kar battle sword in his hand high and swung it forward. The Seventh Legion engineers used a precise high-explosive bombing to blast open the magic steel gate in front. Although there was only a gap, it was enough for humans to rush into the inner city.

What greeted them was the roaring impact of the demon army led by Abyssal Lord.

Lothar clenched the Heart of Azeroth in his hand, called World Power to join him, jumped up from Holy Light Steed under the gazes of Warrior, and slashed down with swords in both hands, just like the miracle of "headshot" that had happened on this land.

The leader Abyssal Lord was chopped off by Lothar in the ferocious roar. This glorious victory made the Warriors shout in unison. They held their shields high and followed their leader to crash into Demon Guard's position.

White Pawn flew up and activated Bladestorm when it landed, drawing the surrounding demons into it.

His Elven God-Sword was snatched away by King Terenas. What he held tightly in his hand was a tomahawk filled with lightning. This was the artifact "Thunder" "lent" to him by Vigilant.

As a weapons master, Varian is also very good with an axe, but it is not his sword after all.

He will definitely take back Saramani

Yes.

He will definitely follow Lothar into Heart of Darkness of Northern Borderlands and completely bring unified peace to his civilization.

Fight for victory!
