Chapter 605 66. Yingxue master N'Zoth and his Yingxue heroic subordinates
When Dalaran appeared in the sky above Butcher's Harbor wearing Teleportation Spell's bright streamer, the local Warrior people who were mobilizing in this dual-purpose port to prepare for the Imperial Army's raid were stunned.
In order to block the news about the Imperial Army to prevent those guys who still "carry their motherland" from defecting, in the current official propaganda tone of Kul Tiras, Lothar and his Strom'kar Empire Almost everything related to E is a "symbol of evil", and it is impossible for Lord Kingdom Regent Ashvane to advocate meritorious deeds for Lothar and his empire.
This makes the stunning appearance of Dalaran floating island in the battle of Northern Borderlands unknown to the Ku people.
The occlusion caused by the information blockade caused extremely serious consequences at this moment. The commander in Butcher's Harbor had no idea how to deal with the damn city suspended above his head.
He was even worried that the city would come down so hard and crush all the Butcher's Harbors and all the Warriors in it to death.
But that was obviously because he was overthinking it.
Dalaran may have countless reasons for crashing, but using himself as a meteorite to smash into the enemy's small fortress is obviously not in any of Council of Six's attack plans.
That is not the strange idea that Dalaran and the mages in it should have.
However, the commander soon no longer had to worry about how to deal with Dalaran. When the rock underneath Floating City turned outwards strangely and the energy rings hidden in it lit up one by one, the devout believer of Storm Church realized that something was wrong.
Before he could finish his prayer, a wave of brilliant Arcane cannons fell from the sky.
The beam full of destructive power hit Butcher's Harbor's command point in a sweeping manner, and sent the commander and his command team to N'Zoth with extreme precision.
Such a precise decapitation strike was certainly not the luck of the mages. SI:7's Stealth had placed a beacon on the roof of the headquarters in advance. The efficiency of using light cannons to clean the ground while accurately luring the enemy was of course greatly improved.
However, this is just a cleanup of the ground for subsequent actual combat advancement.
After seeing Dalaran's Arcane glory blowing up Butcher's Harbor's headquarters, those K'xir and hidden in the crowd the Uncrowned immediately realized that Imperial Army's offensive was obviously more violent than they imagined, and Seventh Legion's vanguard outside the city also took advantage of Dalaran's support to begin attacking the city.
The Ravenholdt assassins hiding near the Butcher's Harbor city gate jumped out at this time and assassinated the officers at the city gate, opening the door for the tiger-like and wolf-like empire Warrior.
There is no need to hide your identity now. If you continue to hide your identity, you will probably be doomed.
So with a low roar, those guys pretending to be humans showed their true colors one by one.
They tore off the camouflage of human skin, letting their morbid and weird bodies appear in the cold Dark Wind, and unscrupulously exerted their mental interference on the thinking of all living things around them.
They devoured those minds that were not firm enough, and roared the curse with vicious Shath'yar. They wanted to sacrifice the enemies and the frightened "own people" to Sea of Darkness, thereby releasing the vicious and filthy spell.
While these Void Creature were wreaking havoc on the battlefield, the Teleportation Beacon that human spellcasters learned and imitated from Light Weaver Warband were evenly "sprinkled" on the chaotic battlefield of Butcher's Harbor.
As the temporary portal quietly opened, amidst the roar of machinery and the shaking of the ground, those Gleam Holy Light ze-enchanted war mechas strode out of it.
Each portal can accommodate three mechas to pass through. Because Butcher's Harbor itself is not a big city, so this time Dalaran only delivered a standard large formation of thirty mechas to the ground as ground support.
After completing the delivery, Dalaran almost didn't stop for a moment and immediately flew towards Spearpoint Docks on the other side of Tiragarde Sound.
It is also an important military location that must be captured to ensure that Human Empire's subsequent troop transport is smooth.
But are thirty mechas enough to handle Butcher's Harbor's Void Creature?
The answer is enough.
Seeing the human side appear in a strange-looking Iron Mech, the Faceless Ones that reacted the fastest immediately rolled up its twisted and thick left arm tendrils into a flesh and blood war hammer. After a roar, the ferocious power made from the void exploded like a charged slingshot.
The violent attack of the tentacles can easily smash a heavily armored knight and his horse into a pulp, but when the whistling tentacles hit Iron Mech, the opponent only made a dull bombardment sound. It could not even damage the platinum armor smelted by Mechagnomess, leaving only an insignificant dent on the outer armor.
A dazzling light erupted between the Void Energy carried on the tendril and the consecrated mecha, and Faceless Ones's screams left miserable burn marks on its tendril.
In response to this provocation, Colonel Maxwell pulled the joystick with a grin, raising the left arm of the mecha, and the Mechagnomes hand cannon fixed on the arm was loaded with a harsh lever operation.
Relying on the "Advantage Fire Control" rewritten by the Mechagnomess, the lock was completed the moment he raised his hand, and a roar like a small-caliber artillery blast erupted.
The single-headed bullet flew out of Faceless Ones right in front of him. The bullet that was engraved with Holy Crest and completed the consecration dealt a restrained critical blow to the void creature, causing half of its head to be blown open.
Black blood spattered everywhere, causing the monster to stagger back. The war mecha pounced on it, pulled out its energy ax, and cut it in half with an axe.
The sharp blade of the battle ax, which was also engraved with the words of consecration, cut through the vicious flesh and blood. The collision between Holy Light and the void caused the lower Void Creature to immediately begin to burn in a purifying manner.
Shath'yar's curses and screams turned into substantial spiritual vibrations and bombarded Colonel Maxwell's mind, making him feel a stinging pain. But then the colonel grabbed the sacred potion at hand and drank it. He shouted the name of Holy Light and started to fire wildly at the void creature that was rushing towards him.
The heavy shell casing hit the ground and made a pleasant sound. Under the cover of the colonel's firepower, his combat brothers rushed forward in Steel Knights and fought hand-to-hand with those Void Monster.
Their armor is seven meters high. Faceless Ones is generally three to four meters tall. K'xir, which is about the same as a normal human, is even shorter. It can even be trampled to death by Iron Mech.
Facts have proven that consecrating steel and Calm the Machine Spirit is an absolutely necessary step before turning on the mecha. This fully proves that these metaphysical rituals performed by Vigilant Saint are really useful!
Those Gleam's magical Holy Light radiance on the steel outer armor can not only help them resist the filth of the void, but can even provide the pilots with a certain amount of Mental Inspiration and protection, so that they don't have to worry about being driven crazy by the void before they hit them.
The weapons that Mechagnomess specially modified for Steel Knightss based on the characteristics of Void Creatures are also very easy to use, especially the energy backpack of each Steel Knights comes with a small "Origin Return Emitter".
This thing can simulate the dispersion of order energy and effectively purify the corrosion pollution remaining after the death of these subordinate Void Creature.
In short, Strom'kar Empire and Steel Knights performed perfectly in the first battle. When Lothar drove his own Holy Warsteed with When the Iron Horse Knightss rushed to Butcher's Harbor, what caught his eyes was the port that had already been captured and the Steel Knightss standing in the ruins, receiving cheers from the Warriors.
The pilots wearing tight-fitting pilot uniforms were lifted high by the joyful Warriors, calling them heroes and warriors.
Without the support of these thirty mechas, with the density of Faceless Ones and K'xir in Butcher's Harbor, it is conservatively estimated that the vanguard of the Seventh Legion would have to die or injure hundreds of people to capture this place.
But now they only need to light the torch, carry the Holy Water bucket to clean up the entire ruins, and set the remains of the void evil on fire while shouting curses.
Although this kind of victory lacks a sense of "participation", it's basically just standing on the edge of the battlefield and watching Steel Knights kill Void Monster, and singing praises to Holy Light to cheer up Steel Knights.
But how to say it.
The desire to obtain military merit and be promoted is destined to be the idea of a few people. After a long military career, most Warrior now the One desire is to be able to retire safely and return to their families.
Marshal Lothar has said that the battle of Kul Tiras is the last link of the Strom'kar Empire's War of Nation Building. Therefore, victory is precious, but being able to live to see the victory comes is not a kind of Warrior romance.
"Salute to you, Marshal! I did not embarrass you, Butcher's Harbor won it!"
Colonel Maxwell, who was sitting on a rock smoking a pipe, saw the marshal approaching and immediately stood up and reported loudly:
"We have no losses"
"Honestly!"
Lothar glared at the veteran in front of him, making Maxwell grin.
He and Major General Windsor were already qualified to fight Green Skins with Marshal Lothar, so they naturally had some privileges in front of the marshal. Faced with Lothar's question, the colonel whispered:
"I'm not lying, Marshal. The Steel Knightss suffered no losses, and the consumption of ammunition was within an acceptable range, but the pilots were a little overwhelmed. Although the "Machine Spirit Soothing" ritual taught to us by the Lightforgeds was very useful and could indeed protect our spirits.
But in this battle, every pilot killed at least ten evil creatures of the void, and those crazy guys would curse us viciously when they were about to die.
No matter how powerful Warrior is, it is unable to withstand the superposition of so many curses. Priest have just checked that this group of pilots need to be sent to the rear to rest and receive mental comfort and dispersal before they can return to the battlefield."
"Do we still have enough pilots?"
Lothar glanced at the mighty Steel Knights who were surrounded by Warriors to watch, and he whispered:
"Didn't I ask you to train more pilots before?"
"This thing is not a piece of cabbage, just picked up on the roadside. Marshal, to be a pilot, you must at least be able to drive engineering equipment, right?"
The latest ⊥ little ⊥ talk ⊥ is first posted on ⊥⊥⊥!
Colonel Maxwell rubbed his red and swollen eyes, twitched his mouth, and sighed:
"I have already brought over all the Warrior members of the Empire's meeting of dwarves Steam Tank, and also recruited some engineering practitioners from various places, and I have barely managed to gather 300 people. However, I do have a suggestion."
The colonel hesitated and whispered:
"Look for Goblin mercenaries, or simply let the dwarfs who have a better relationship with us drive it!
They are very good at engineering, which is almost their racial talent. What humans need to learn about driving in half a month can be mastered in a day or two.
Moreover, when Mechagnomes redesigned it, they deliberately set the cockpit into a freely adjustable mode. The joysticks and pedals have power-assist devices, so even the small arms and legs of dwarfs can push them.
Or you can find those dwarf tankers, who have also been exposed to engineering vehicles for a long time.
I know this is a civil war for mankind, and it is best not to let foreigners participate, but now that such advanced weapons are here, we can't just let them eat dust in the warehouse just because there is no driver, right?
It can only be said that we humans still have a lot to learn in terms of engineering."
Lothar nodded, patted Maxwell on the shoulder, and said:
"Take the pilots to rest for a while and have a meal. Then you drive these Steel Knights to Spearpoint Docks to change defenses. I will solve the driver's problem."
"How could Lothar's army advance so fast? Why did Butcher's Harbor and Spearpoint Docks fall within a few hours? Aren't there elite troops deployed there?"
In Boralus City, Lord Ashvane, who is Kingdom Regent, will make people stupid.
The battle report that had just been delivered to his hands made his head hurt. Although Lothar's Imperial Army was still hundreds of kilometers away from Port of Boralus, the news that several military locations used as border defenses had fallen one after another within half a day still made this outstanding businessman and noble feel incredible.
As a person with little war experience, in his understanding, if one's own side has deployed sufficient military strength and has terrain advantages, no matter how fierce Imperial Army is, it will take at least a week to capture several important places on the Tiragarde Sound border, right?
Have this Lothar and his Warrior been whipped by Rezan?
So fierce!
No wonder Lordaeron's Black Dragon Empire couldn't resist them.
"The other party dispatched Dalaran Floating City. That thing is a real strategic-level unit. There is almost nothing in our hands that can pose an effective threat to it, but it can float in the sky and leisurely bombard every one of our headquarters."
Lord Ashvane An officer with a cold breath in front of him said hoarsely:
"And Lothar used "new weapons." Goblin and the dwarfs' reverse research on Titan Technology created a very powerful war mecha for them. Those elite units controlled by the pilots have built-in void protection, and their weapons have restraints against Void Creature.
Faceless One Brute and K'thir Warlock have no choice but to be slaughtered in front of those steel creations.
However, void protection does not mean complete immunity. As long as the number can be stacked, those ridiculous machines can be killed, even if they are protected by Holy Light! The machines can not be afraid of mental attacks, but the drivers are all mortal bodies."
"Don't make excuses for your failure, Your Excellency."
Lord Ashvane looked at the military map. After a moment, he held the emblem of Storm Church, raised his head and asked:
"They have captured Spearpoint Docks, and will attack Norwington Estate next, followed by Hatherford, and then Port of Boralus. They also captured Guard Territory, which means that Lothar will divide its forces into two groups to attack Port of Boralus from the north and south at the same time.
Let me ask you, can our defenses withstand their attack outside the city?"
The other party was silent.
After a few seconds, he shook his head and said:
"Not possible, unless you can order us to hold a large-scale void summoning ceremony to summon enough Void Creature from the reflection of N'yalotha as an army. In the current situation, those ordinary soldiers are no longer of use.
But how can I put it, Lord Regent, we don't need to block Lothar's Imperial Army, we don't even need to pursue victory."
The cold officer shrugged and said:
"They have come to our land, God of Storms's expectations have come true, Tidesages are chanting sutras day and night at Stormsong Valley under the leadership of Sleepless Cabal.
The three holy objects from the abyss are all ready. All it takes is King Daelin to put on Storm Crown, hold Trident of Tides, and wear Voidstone Holy Crest. The reflection of Slumbering City will stand tall on Material World.
At that time, all life that belongs to the void and does not belong to the void will be dragged into my god's Waking Dream.
What can happen no matter how powerful Lothar and his Imperial Army are?
They have entered the stomach of my god, and Derek's fleet cannot break through Duke Falrevere's obstruction, which means that they have no way to enter Stormsong Valley's destruction ceremony.
So, we just need to delay it!
The Waking Dream dragged to N'yalotha blooms in Material World. By then, we will win.
Not only can we preserve Kul Tiras, the "capital" of the Dark Empire, but even after losing Lothar, the entire Strom'kar Empire of the Eastern Continent will eventually become ours."
The cold officer laughed.
His shadow pulled behind him and gathered into a weird, twisted and sick Dark Entity, and he said loudly:
"We already won!
Lothar hasn't realized this yet, but when he brought Strom'kar Empire's most elite Warrior to Kul Tiras, we won."
Lord Ashvane was originally a little worried, but the cold officer's too "beautiful" description made him nod his head, then smiled and said:
"Then let's do as you say. Let's wait for time so that Lothar can drown in the illusion of victory, but we can't start the summoning ceremony without doing anything! Summon God of Storms's most powerful servant outside Boralus City, so that it can resist the arrogant Imperial Army.
Since Lothar is eager for a challenge, then we will give him a challenge!"
