But very brave

"Boom"

Dwarven Field Cannon's firing made the ground shake, and those scorching-hot projectiles accurately hit the white city wall of Lordaeron under the control of the dwarf gunner.

This was even the first round of calibrated bombardment, but with such a big city wall standing there, it was difficult to miss.

Lordaeron's city wall was destroyed once by Abyssal Lord's heavy attack during the previous demonic invasion. Later, it was repaired by Dragonborn and used the secret method of the black dragon to make the newly built city wall both tall and majestic.

To be honest, it is impossible to destroy it just by the dwarves' bombardment, and it is difficult to even shock it.

However, General Osma Garithos on the city wall looked at the military formations outside the city that almost protected the Lordaeron wall. The various Battle Standards representing different forces were flying, making him dizzy.

All the forces in the Eastern Continent, even Night Elf of Kalimdor, are here. Your Majesty, how much trouble have you caused in Quel'Thalas to cause such an exaggerated Alliance of "the eighteenth princes are asking for Dong"?

General Garithos even saw the Battle Standard of Guardian Dragonflight, the red and blue Battle Standard standing on top of The Sin'dorei elves were standing next to the caster's position, but before he could take a closer look, the meteorites gathered by the Sin'dorei Arcane Mages roared and hit the city wall.

"Hidden! Hidden!"

General Dragonborn shouted.

But in fact, his command is not needed. The double city wall built around the city is too huge. Each area has its own commander. Moreover, the demons we dealt with before are very good at using this VanCleef encirclement spell to attack, so there are watchtowers everywhere on the newly built city wall for Warrior to take shelter.

As long as you are not unlucky enough to be directly hit by a meteorite, you are unlikely to be hit by the spell's aftermath.

However this is just the beginning.

An attack signal soon came from the flanks of the city wall. Kaldorei summoned the huge War Ancient and Mountain Giant as siege units. The Druids were still flying around in the air, setting off a storm to divide the battlefield of the city wall.

But the good news is that they don't dare to enter the city at will.

Over the past six months, Dragonborn has built black spiers all over the city.

That is the position of the Dragonborn Warlocks, and some Void Creatures live in it. Although the number of their spell towers is not as exaggerated as the previous Dalarans, the resonance with each other is enough to drown out the enemies who enter the airspace at will.

And Lordaeron is now "Black Dragon City"!

Black Dragonflight from the entire continent are already here. Even though Sabellian has pulled away a group of rebels, the remaining black dragons are still a terrifying number. This does not include the Chromatic Dragon created by Black Dragonflight's "biologists" and the more dangerous Twilight Dragon.

Fighting on the walls of Lordaeron is dangerous, but flying into the sky of Lordaeron at will is fatal.

Druid obviously know how powerful they are. Their attack range is currently limited to the city walls, and they have not yet planned to attack the city. However, the defense on the flanks is far less exaggerated than the front of the city.

General Osma Garithos placed almost one-third of the city wall Dragonborn in the frontal defense area.

Not only because the largest city gate in the front is a strategic node that must be protected, but also because in the military formation in front of the city wall, on the high platform temporarily built by the Shamans, there is sitting a guy who makes all Dragonborns tremble with fear.

It was a giant over six meters tall.

He was wearing a black and gold majestic and cold Judge's Battle Armor, Lightforged Legion and Hand of Argus with gold emblems Battle Standard behind him, Archbishop of Holy Twilight and Archbishop of Glorious Dawn standing beside him on the left and right.

In front of this giant, the fully armed Archbishop Nali was holding a war bow and looking at the battlefield.

So, what the hell is this weird formation called "Trinity"?

Vigilant!

Diakum Zastinss appeared on the battlefield in front of Lordaeron City!

Although he seems to have no intention of joining the battle now, General Osma Garithos really doesn't dare to take a gamble.

Even though he had absolute confidence in the city wall he personally supervised and built, it would definitely be able to withstand even Burning Legion's attack, but he knew that no matter how strong the city wall was, it could not withstand Vigilant's conquest.

Even if only one tenth of the legends about Diakum are true, then the giant in front of him has the ability to single-handedly destroy the city of Dragonborn.

This sounds like an unsolvable opponent, but you can't stop defending just because the enemy is too strong.

Garithos knows very well that His Majesty's court witches have been casting spells to summon Deathwing's return in recent days. Once the ritual is completed, the city may be able to turn the corner.

He knew he had to persevere.

The dwarves quickly completed a round of heavy artillery bombardment, and then sadly discovered that the field artillery they brought could not shake the "Black Dragon Wall" at all. This discouraged the dwarves, who had always been proud of their "explosive expertise", but their performance time was over.

Vigilant, who was watching the match, seemed impatient.

He raised his hand.

This action silenced the frontal battlefield.

Behind the observation window of the city wall, every Dragonborn commander was nervously watching the giant's movements.

They were afraid that Vigilant would stand up from his chair, transform into Giant of Light, and use his knife Enemy Breaker to lift them and their city walls.

But no.

Vigilant didn't do anything so terrifying. He just handed a staff exuding Holy Light to Archbishop Aurelesis beside him. A moment later, a low attack horn reverberated on the battlefield.

There were heavily armored warriors in each position, and the Shamans of Wildhammer and Mag'har began to shape rock stairs so that the Warriors could step onto the city wall to engage in brutal hand-to-hand combat.

But as the Warriors approached the city wall on the ever-increasing rock stairs, Archbishop Aurelesis also chanted loudly calling Holy Light and threw the staff in his hand towards the city wall. The thing crossed the boiling battlefield and fell under the city wall, showing the Archbishop's excellent arm strength, and did not trigger Terrifying Explosion when it landed.

The next second, with a deep roar, Lightforged Dawn Lord appeared from the staff's glow.

This Lightforging demon demigod swung his claws, and the first blow left hideous claw marks on the unshakable Black Dragon Wall.

Along with the gathering of Holy Light as the rubble splattered, the crystal next to the demon's wings burst into high temperature, causing the purifying beam to sweep across the city wall and incinerate the Dragonborn that rushed out into ashes.

"Pathetic minions of Chaos!"

Kazzak clenched his claws in disgust, and swept forward with a destructive sweep, destroying the two towers and roaring at the same time:

"I fought with you when I was a demon. Now that I am the holy pioneer of Holy Light, you still dare to appear in front of me? You will die!"

"Blow Dragon Whistle!"

Amid the violent shaking of the city wall, General Garithos took out his Dragon Whistle and shouted to the Dragonborns:

"Summon the black dragon over and defeat this Light's Demon! Oh, Holy Light Walker, who claims to be righteous, actually shamelessly enslaves the devil? Is this the so-called Saint? Bah!"

A sharp whistle then sounded.

These Dragon Whistle are unique magic items. Each Dragon Whistle is bound to a giant dragon. When blown, it can awaken the dragon and provide an accurate position sensing no matter how far away it is.

Soon, several black dragons appeared on top of the city wall. They planned to cooperate with Dragonborn to attack Kazzak who was "forcibly demolishing the city wall." However, at the same time that the black dragons appeared, there was movement in the Dragon Aspects position that had been quiet.

Under the leadership of Red Dragon Prince, Dragon Aspects rushed into the sky one after another.

They reached an agreement with Marshal Lothar, and they will be responsible for dealing with the black dragons of the Lordaron Kingdom, so that these fallen dragons can no longer affect human wars.

But it's not just Dragon Aspects either.

General Garithos saw a strange giant flying fast like "Red Comet" scurrying around in the sky. He was about to board his black dragon companion and take off for battle when the elusive guy swept down from the sky, folded its wings and crashed towards him like a silver comet.

He also yelled some unintelligible words such as "Trial of the Sisterhood is so vicious".

But this guy is too fast.

Garithos General's black dragon partner just took off and was hit on the flank by her before she even had time to dodge.

The black dragon let out a painful scream and rolled into the city wall together with the mysterious high-speed attacker.

This sudden fall prevented General Garithos from being smashed into pieces. Fortunately, he was a Dragonborn and he also had wings.

When he fell, he finally looked outside the city and found that Vigilant was not paying attention to the city wall, but was holding a pocket watch and looking at what the terrible Giant of Light was waiting for?

This question flashed through his mind, and then General Dragonborn safely glided to the ground in the spray of dragon fire. He pulled out the battle ax from behind and was about to help his black dragon companions. However, immediately after, he saw many Dracthyrs flying down from high altitude, avoiding Black Dragon Tower's spells and landing on the city wall.

There are a very large number of these "Dragon Hunter". It is not just Blackscale Camp who came here alone, perhaps Steel Sight Camp and Blackguard Camp who followed Dragon Aspects also came here together.

This is troublesome.

The "Dragon Hunter" who were trained by Deathwing to deal with Incarnate Dragons, today, more than 20,000 years later, actually stood on its opposite side and began to assist Dragon Aspects in hunting the black dragon.

After the Dracthyrs went all out under the leadership of the three Scalelords, the black dragons who came to the city wall to support them suffered a lot.

Before they get close to the city wall, they are often hit by the projected Dragon-Slaying Spear at the root of their wings, or the flexible and brave Dracthyr jumps behind them to perform brutal hunting tactics.

Garithos already had an ominous premonition, and he might be able to witness the end of Black Dragonflight with his own eyes today.

But before the general could charge back onto the city wall, an injured commander Dragonborn rushed over from the side. With his face covered in blood, he grabbed General Garithos's hand and shouted:

"Sewer! The traitor Uther led Lothar and others to attack from the sewer! Go to the flank quickly, they are attacking the underground flank area of the eastern city wall. If they cannot hold it, the defense of the city wall will be finished.

The fierce attack outside the city is an illusion, this elite led by Lothar is the real killer!"

"I will never go into the sewers in my life. I swear, no matter how ambitious the goal is, I will never step into any sewers in any city again."

White Pawn complained in a low voice.

In fact, he is not a clean person. After all, he is still in the boy stage, so bathing every day is a bit difficult.

But even so, Lordaeron's sewer environment in this ancient city still exceeded Varian's imagination. After all, he was a prince, and he had never been to such a place in his most desolate years.

"And why are there aberrations in your Lordaeron sewers? Are there so many Foul Slimes?"

Yrel, who was wearing a battle helmet, said angrily to Arthas beside him:

"The aberrations can be understood as the evil biological experiments of the black dragons, but these ooze monsters probably existed before the arrival of the black dragons, right? Don't you know how to clean them up?

Those things will eat people when they grow to a certain size!"

"Well, there is indeed a saying "Sewer Demon" in the city. It is said that when the demons invaded, some demons escaped into the sewers."

Arthas is a little embarrassed.

He was originally in a heavy mood at this moment, but what he saw and heard while rushing into the sewer also made him realize that he didn't understand his hometown at all.

Even though he was born and raised here.

"There are some sewers here that even lead directly to the palace, but time is tight and we don't have time to wander around in this maze-like place."

Sir Uther, who was leading the way, said without looking back:

"Going along this road, you can reach behind the eastern gate of the city wall. Just open that door and external troops can enter the city. At that time, the wall, which is so strong that it is almost indestructible, will lose its effect.

But those Black Dragon Towers ahead still have to be cleared one by one.

Those Dragonborns who defected to my command told me that each Black Dragon Tower is connected to the Void Barrier of the palace. If these towers are not destroyed, the void reinforcement obtained by the palace guards will make it difficult for us to move forward."

Lothar nodded and looked back at the "army" following behind him. More than a thousand people participated in this "sewer raid" that was not low-key at all.

It stands to reason that such a large-scale military deployment would be difficult to hide from Dragonborn who was guarding the city wall, but Vigilant's terrifying figure sitting outside the city was enough to attract the attention of all Dragonborn. Therefore, it can be said that the "sit-down tactics" currently implemented by Vigilant is a key part of the success of this raid.

There is no way, some people are as dazzling as the Gleam stars in the dark night, and the Holy Light they emit cannot be blocked.

"Sir Fordring, Army of the Light and Sir Uther opened the city gate together. The rest of the people followed me to destroy the Black Dragon Tower nearby. After the Warrior outside the city entered the city, we accelerated towards the palace."

The marshal's orders were passed on step by step, but just as they were approaching the largest exit of the sewer destination, a group of Dragonborn suddenly fell from the sky.

The two sides looked at each other and were both stunned.

But Sir Uther reacted faster. The warhammer in his hand flew out with Hammer of Justice's combat skills, knocking down Dragonborn in front of him. Then White Pawn flashed out, and the figure of Master Garona also appeared in the darkness.

This time Garona is not alone.

Stormwind Kingdom SI:7's elite assassins accompanied her, and Shaw also participated in the door-to-door assassination.

"Rush!"

Lothar waved the holy sword and was the first to rush up the stairs.

The Dragonborns outside the exit also heard the noise, but when they gathered together, they were knocked over by the Army of the Light Paladins who rushed out, Uther and Fuding wasted no time and led Paladin towards the huge city gate, while Lothar also led Seventh Legion's warriors towards the nearest Black Dragon Tower.

Fortunately, this thing is not Mage Tower, but a physical building more similar to "Necromantic Tower". There is no troublesome internal space expansion, otherwise so many towers would have to be demolished in the year of the monkey.

When General Osma Garithos arrived with a group of Dragonborn knights, the brave Fuding had already defeated the Warrior guarding the city gate and was destroying the rock formations and magic seals blocking the city gate.

"Stop!"

General Garithos was so angry that he opened his wings behind his back and rushed towards the knights Gleam holding Holy Light with his battle ax in hand.

This city wall is guarded by him, and this city wall is his oath and responsibility.

After all, he is a soldier with a sense of honor.

"Bang"

The battle ax swung by Garithos was knocked back by Sir Uther's war hammer. Uther, wearing a Seventh Legion battle armor, held a war hammer and blocked the burning street. His eyes under his battle helmet stared at Garithos.

Behind Jazz, the Dragonborn and Ash Knight who surrendered to him launched an attack on the Dragonborn brought by Garithos, and the shouts of killing were loud in the ever-widening streets.

"It's you, right?"

Sir Uther stared at General Garithos who rushed towards him angrily with a battle axe, and he said hoarsely:

"The "ghost" who has been sending messages to the Ravenholdt assassins is you! Osma Garithos, King Terenas's imperial general, recovered Alterac Kingdom's legendary Dragonborn.

You actually can't understand the current situation in this country, right?"

"I don't understand what you're talking about!"

Garithos responded with a heavy ax chop.

The sparks thrown up when the two heavy weapons collided were scorching, and the fight between the two fierce men was also full of a sense of power.

Sir Uther has embarked on the legendary path of "Lightforged Iron Guard". After he enters the battle, his weapons and armor will be consecrated. This is even a halo effect, making the Warriors he leads equivalent to wearing a full set of "Holy Light Artifact" in combat, making this defensive force astonishingly powerful.

Dragonborn continues to join the team of General Garithos, but they just can't break through the iron guards led by Uther.

Seeing that Fuding had destroyed the seal of the city gate, Garithos also activated all his Dragonborn power. His body swelled and his face was distorted like Dragonkin, almost completely losing his human appearance.

Shadowflame, which was entangled and spitting between its mouth and nose, burst into flames. The battle ax that was originally held tightly with both hands changed to swinging with one hand. He took Dragonborn Black Sword from the hands of the fallen corpse, and kept hitting it while dancing, forcing Uther back again and again.

"Lordaeron cannot fall!"

This guy who looked more like a monster than a human roared:

"You go kill Naga, go kill the black dragon, go kill Void Monster, I have no objection! But this city belongs to humans, and we have persisted until now. After you left, this land did not surrender to the devil, let alone you."

"Bang"

The smashed weapon was blocked by Sir Uther. Under the heavy pressure of the strange force, Uther said loudly:

"So, was it really you who sent those messages?"

Garithos didn't answer, but just bumped Uther forward.

With the flapping of black wings, he rushed toward the opening city gate and fought off Fuding, but was then "swamped" by various Holy Light blows.

But he's still fighting.

Under the complicated gaze of Uther, General Dragonborn waved his weapon frantically, repelling Paladin near the city gate, as if he was guarding the gate alone and did not allow any foreigners to set foot in the city he was protecting.

Perhaps after they left Lordaeron, Garithos also defended the city from being captured by demons.

He is very powerful.

He is one of the few people who has really brought out the potential of Dragonborn, but how can he alone withstand the siege of Army of the Light and Ash Knight Order?

When Duke Mograine also joined the battlefield with the holy blade, the siege of the three Holy Light leaders finally made Garithos truly feel the doom of the loser.

Those Dragonborns respect and love him very much.

They desperately attacked the Paladin's defense line, trying to save their general.

But as Arthas rushed forward, smashed the last pillar of the city gate with a war hammer, and when he and White Pawn pushed the city gate open, Garithos was also hit in the heart by the Silver Hand, and his wings were cut off by Mograine.

He fell to the ground.

While rolling in embarrassment, he saw General Feathermoon leading Elf Huntress into the city gate, which made him close his eyes in despair.

It's like going back to the night when Blackwood Town was destroyed by the demon. I failed to stop the demon from slaughtering my friends and family. I drank the dragon's blood and expelled the demon but failed to stop those dark alien races from causing trouble in the court and endangering the country.

He sent the message and successfully used Lothar's army to destroy Satyr and Naga.

But there's no time!

There is no time left for him to continue peeling off those dark alien races that corrupted Lordaeron.

All aliens deserve to die!

Black dragon, void witch, werewolf, Satyr, Naga, none of the alien races are good!

But he is clearly no longer the fragile young man he was when Blackwood Town was destroyed. Unfortunately, in the end, he still failed to prevent these aliens from entering the place he protected.

The voice in his heart seemed to ring again, and the voice seemed to start taunting him again.

Alas, Garithos.

You are so weak that you really can't protect anything.
