Huh? What do you mean the airdrop is in place?
Kingdom Regent Lord Ashvane adopted a rather peculiar "passive resistance" strategy in the face of the harsh situation of the war. Not only did he not send reinforcements to key areas facing Imperial Army's invasion, he even dispatched some elite troops to return to Boralus City's defense.
The assassins of Shaw even observed that in the pirate gathering place "Freehold" surrounded by mountains at the southernmost tip of Tiragarde Sound, many pirate gangs once again left their ports.
They entered the dock of Boralus City and began to disassemble and transport the ship's naval guns to the city wall of Boralus City.
This seems to be a gesture of defending the city.
Such a reaction left the commanders under Lothar confused, but they would not give up the good opportunity to capture the enemy's position. In the next three days, Norwington Estate in the northwest of Boralus City and Bridgeport in the south were captured one after another.
The pioneers of Lothar even advanced to Hearthstone County, which is only separated from Boralus by a thin strait. From the heights here, you can directly see the scene in Boralus City without even needing a telescope.
In the southern area of Boralus, Army of the Light led by Sir Fordring has even begun to attack Greystone Fortress.
That is a military facility directly connected to the Boralus City wall. Once Army of the Light captures it, it can basically be announced that this seaport city will open its doors to the Imperial Army in a very short period of time.
This situation made General Blackmoore, who was most eager for military glory, sense that something was wrong.
It went so well!
The attack was executed so smoothly, so smoothly that it seemed as if the enemy was cooperating with them to win victory after victory. Instead, it was like "lubing the enemy deeper".
If there were only Kul Tiras people, then it would be understandable for a country to be like this in the face of the strangulation of the entire continent. But the problem is that Kul Tiras has been "recruiting troops" in the past six months.
All Void Faction bastard villains in the entire world have received the invitation, and most of them have responded to N'Zoth's call.
It stands to reason that the entire Kul Tiras should be full of evil servants, but Imperial Army of Lothar only killed some unimportant scraps along the way, and those truly dangerous guys never appeared at all.
It's like they disappeared, or they were hiding somewhere waiting to appear at some point.
"They're waiting!"
Lothar was not surprised by this, he was not even panicked.
On the battlefield of Hearthstone County, the emperor explained to White Pawn, who was full of doubts next to him:
"We have known for a long time that N'Zoth intends to cast its Dark Empire phantom into reality in Kul Tiras, which is Waking Dream standing in Material World.
I guess those evil things are hiding in the gap between N'yalotha·Slumbering City and the real world. As long as N'Zoth completes the coming ceremony of the Dark Empire, those evil things will roar into the dream and strangle us all here.
They are waiting for that moment to come!
I'm waiting too."
Lothar smiled, took out a pocket watch, looked at the time, and said to White Pawn:
"You don't think that the capture of Boralus means that the recovery of Kul Tiras is complete, do you? No, silly boy, all the battles so far are just a warm-up. Only when the reflection of Slumbering City envelopes our real world will the real fierce battle begin."
"Oh, that's it."
White Pawn pushed his helmet and said:
"No wonder you haven't allowed military experts to enter the battlefield. Do you want us to recharge our batteries?"
"There are considerations in this regard, but the more reason is that the intensity of the battle at hand does not require you."
Lothar shook his head and said:
"Actually, N'Zoth's target is not us. What it really wants to lure is Vigilant.
I asked Lady Aegwynn, and she told me that N'yalotha·Slumbering City is originally a special plane formed by the fusion of Sea of Darkness and Material World, which can be regarded as a moving void rift.
Once N'Zoth reflects it on this land, Kul Tiras will instantly become the closest place to Sea of Darkness on the planet Azeroth.
The moment Vigilant steps into this place, he will be attacked by Void Lords.
N'Zoth is almost driven crazy by the pressure of survival. It is crazy about causing a Void God War to drag down the Void Lord people behind it.
That weak and cunning guy knows very well that only by completely muddying the water now can it, the unlucky guy on Vigilant's must-kill list, survive and continue its conspiracy to devour the world."
White Pawn nodded.
He is not stupid, he knows that Marshal Lothar told him this to remind him that Vigilant Saint will not step into Kul Tiras. Once the reflection of N'yalotha opens here, they will have to challenge Thousand Tentacle Demon on their own in the land of evil gods.
I heard that N'Zoth is the weakest among all Old God.
Well, it would be perfect for such an opponent to be challenged by humans who are planning to rise.
"A huge amount of void reaction has been detected from the front! Marshal, get General Blackmoore and Stonewall Brigade back! A big void monster is about to appear there."
A raven flew over nimbly, landed on the top of White Pawn's battle helmet, and sounded Khadgar's warning sound.
Lothar waved his hand, and Standard Bearer beside him immediately grabbed the horn and blew the horn. Stonewall Brigade, who was attacking Hearthstone County's town, immediately organized a retreat.
Blackmoore is really good at running the army, and this army, which was rebuilt almost a year ago, now has a fully elite look.
Those Steel Knights who were spilled also gathered in the town to cover the retreat of the Warrior.
The "Void Energy alarm" constantly sounds in their Steel Knights. This is a new gadget installed on the mecha by the Mechagnomes. Once the void concentration on the battlefield exceeds the threshold, a piercing warning sound will continue to sound.
While more than a dozen Steel Knightss were waiting to cover their retreat, General Blackmoore climbed up to the nearby roof with flexible movements in three or two steps and looked to the rear.
His werewolf eyes gave him sharp enough eyes to capture the purple-red void vortex taking shape in the center of the town.
The scale of that thing was astonishing, and the moment the void vortex formed, a terrifying creature at least ten meters high roared and was about to appear in Material World.
That ghost thing hasn't even appeared yet, and the roar alone is tearing at Blackmoore's mind.
At first glance, it looks like an advanced void unit, and it is definitely not an opponent he can deal with.
This made the general a little irritated and discouraged. He found that his combat effectiveness could not keep up with today's chaotic era where monsters and monsters were running around. How could there be so many tricks in the war when he was young?
At that time, just a few legendaries on the battlefield were enough to determine the outcome of the battle, but now, with the power level of the monster in front of them, if any legendaries dared to go up, they would be giving the monster extra life.
"But we have Steel Knights!"
Blackmoore thinks so.
That big guy looks fierce, but the combined numerical advantage of the Imperial Army and Steel Knights is enough to rival it.
The werewolf general might have a crow's mouth.
Because just a few seconds after he finished thinking, Steel Knights, who was firing at Void Monster, was hit by an arrow from Twilight. Its sacredly blessed platinum outer armor was completely penetrated for the first time, causing the war mecha to explode in a few seconds.
The huge fireball rising into the sky silenced the entire battlefield. This was the first death of Steel Knights since its birth.
The explosion was not enough to scare the soldiers of the Imperial Army. Another reason why the group lost their voice was that a super large-scale dark storm had descended, making the entire Hearthstone County filled with shrill Dark Wind. And in that Eye of the Storm, the servants of N'Zoth had already stepped into Material World under the summons of the cultists to sacrifice.
It was a strange and sickly huge purple-red creature.
It has claws like a big lobster, several faces with tentacles, and a horny shell like a parasite. This guy's body is covered with strange blue energy organs, which will continue to light up and disappear along with its heavy beard. The Twilight arrow that penetrated all things just now was inspired by these energy organs.
"Not good!"
The well-informed White Pawn exclaimed:
"That guy is a Qiraji Brute! God Tyr was once forced to self-destruct by a guy like this. Let the Steel Knightss retreat. This is a tough guy who can fight against Titan Keepers."
"Calm down, we have a plan for this."
Lothar calmly took out a Rune Stone that was connected to the Dalaran city above, and asked Khadgar, the raven standing next to White Pawn on the helmet:
"What does that guy mean when he roars Shath'yar?"
"That's how it claims its name."
The great spell caster Khadgar, who is proficient in various "foreign languages", accurately translated:
"It says that it is Warbringer of N'Zoth, and its name is translated into human language as Yenajz! One of the ancient gatekeepers of N'yalotha. This guy existed in the Dark Empire era and is a real "Ancient One".
Don't let Warriors die in vain, I'll deal with it!"
"No, just watch here, it's not time for Saviors to appear yet."
Lothar waved his hand, activated Rune Stone in his hand, cleared his throat, and said to Dalaran:
"Drop the "airdrop" we carefully prepared! Now we need it to come forward and execute the powerful enemy for us."
"Uh, Marshal, let me make a statement in advance."
From the other side came Prince of Mechanical Gnomes Erazmin's somewhat unsure voice, saying:
"The research and transformation of this "big guy" in our hands has just been completed. We can only activate it by manipulating the clockwork giant. Therefore, I can only ensure that it has theoretical combat effectiveness.
If you lose control or fail, don't blame me."
The latest ⊥ little ⊥ talk ⊥ is first posted on ⊥⊥⊥!
"It's not your fault."
Lothar sighed and said:
"Khadgar and I are both Saviors and Rhonin are in the south of the city. Once the "big guy" fails, we will step forward to take over the battlefield. I just want to see if your cutting-edge Technological Power can deal with an evil creature from ancient times.
This is really important for the future power bias of the Human Empire.
It is not easy to convince the mages to include engineering as a teaching subject in Dalaran. Now is the best opportunity for the mages to see the power of engineering with their own eyes."
"Hmm, why did it suddenly catch fire? Well, put your engineering dignity on the line! Codename "Big Guy", release!"
Amidst the screams of Prince of Mechanical Gnomes, Dalaran from above smashed down a huge armed container in a very immoral way of "throwing objects from high altitude".
That thing was very huge, roaring and hitting Qiraji Brute, which was setting off a dark storm below to swallow up the entire Hearthstone County.
But Void Creature is not stupid either.
It must be very painful for such a heavy container to fall down, so the powerful big man moved a few steps very flexibly, allowing the heavy metal container to crash into the ruins of Hearthstone County. The sound when it landed made the whole earth shake. These Mechagnomes madmen didn't know how to add a buffer device to the container, or at least weld a few recoil rockets.
Just smash it down like that. Is the thing inside really strong enough to withstand such a high throw?
Well, you can really do it!
The mysterious "big man" wielded his golden fist and smashed the twisted container, and then a tall steel giant climbed out of the container.
It has a very standard body and appearance of the Titan Keeperss. The thick Titan Divine Iron outer armor is covered with energy rings. The huge and heavy shoulder armor moves, causing the mechanical head with only one "one eye" to lift up, and then a blue light lights up in it.
The giant reached out and picked up a mechanical-style energy warhammer from the twisted and broken container. The moment he held it tightly with both hands, the energy tower on the top of the warhammer was also ignited, and the fire of order surrounded the warhammer and allowed its gear-like structure to operate again.
This "big guy" is surprisingly the defensive high-level security guard captured by Diakum at Uldir, code-named "Taloc".
He is considered the secondary guardian in Titan Guardian System who specializes in combat.
This guy was corroded by G'huun, then crushed by Stone-Scale Dragon and purified by Vigilant. Theoretically, he can no longer be "resurrected".
But Mechagnomes didn't know what trick they used to make the steel giant move again.
Although his movements were very stiff and lacked any agility, he was so powerful that he rounded up the Titan warhammer the moment he was thrown into the battlefield and hit N'Zoth's Warbringer head hard.
The hammer hit the opponent's void carapace to pieces, causing dirty black blood to scatter everywhere.
Those Steel Knightss who were forced to retreat immediately became energetic when they saw "Big Brother" appear. These ordinary Steel Knightss were definitely no match for the Void Demigods in front of them, but now that there was a "big guy" in front of them to take the damage, the Steel Knightss could finally move.
They switched to a specially made "Demon-Slaying Sacred Bullet", loaded the single-head bullet with a warhead shaped from the expensive and exquisite Lightforged Steel, and fired continuously at the N'Zoth's Warbringer at medium and long ranges, thereby diluting the opponent and giving the big guy who was obviously only a prototype a chance to attack.
Some brave pilots with advanced skills, such as Colonel Maxwell, will pull out the energy ax and steal a few knives to enjoy themselves while shooting and reloading, just like those DPS who rack their brains to deal damage.
The bulky but powerful big guys with strong defense and the flexible but insufficiently defended Steel Knights formed an excellent cooperation. The two sides were like a pack of wolves led by Wolf King, besieging N'Zoth's Warbringer with great hunger.
But as a Qiraji Brute that has survived since ancient times, Yenajz is not an ignorant beast.
After realizing that its giant claws and Twilight Cannon would be difficult to tear apart the Titan Divine Iron armor of the big Taloc in a short time, it decisively changed its battle strategy.
It stared at Taloc's heavy hammer blow and pounced on it, swept the giant tail full of Void Spikes, threw the heavy guy to the ground, and then spat out venom crazily to corrode the "cockpit" of the big guy.
It felt that this giant was just an "empty shell", that the mental core belonging to Taloc had been hollowed out, and that it was the mortals who were "driving" it, just like those weak humans driving Steel Knights just now, trying to face the powerful Pit Lord.
Therefore, as long as the driver is killed, this big guy will no longer be a threat!
These Qiraji look stupid, but in fact, as the upper-level Void Creature, they do not lack intelligence. They are much smarter than equally powerful demons.
Warbringer's thinking is very accurate.
But unfortunately, after it withstood the violent bombardment of Steel Knights and the heavy punch of Taloc, tearing open the large cockpit, there was no driver found inside, only a strange thing like a "receiver".
"Ha! You're stupid, you stupid void!"
Prince of Mechanical Gnomes's sarcastic voice sounded from the cockpit of Taloc, and he screamed with a hint of pride:
"You didn't expect it! We haven't completed the drivability modification of "Big Guy" yet. Now it's just a remote control, you idiot! If you have the ability to follow the electromagnetic waves, beat me!"
Damn it!
You guys are so proud of yourself for not completing the project. How ridiculous!
You're still proud of yourself if you can't finish your work, right?
Dog dwarf! Your performance will be deducted!
"Bang"
Warbringer showed his anger and smashed the receiver of Taloc, causing the big guy to stop functioning.
But Prince Erazmin, who personally controlled the machine remotely, gave him the final order before Taloc shut down. The big man's arms waved up, trapping N'Zoth's Warbringer on the ground.
In the eyes of others, this is somewhat "ambiguous".
But for Warbringer Yenajz, this "ground skill" is fatal.
Unable to dodge and counterattack, it was attacked by more than a dozen Steel Knightss in the next second. The Lightforged Steel warheads smashed its left arm into a sieve, and Colonel Maxwell took the risk to rush over and swing its energy ax to cut its body into pieces.
It roared and finally broke free from the shackles of the big man.
But the second batch of thirty Steel Knights reinforcements had already fallen into the battlefield of Hearthstone County. They shuttled through the darkness, raining down bullets, like a ferocious and hungry group of steel Iron Wolfs surrounding a powerful giant bear.
It's finished!
This scene fell in Lothar's eyes, and the marshal nodded with great satisfaction.
He said to White Pawn who was looking at the battlefield:
"Without the intervention of any powerful force, our Warriors killed an abyss demigod. There was not even a legend among these Steel Knightss. Varian, look! Stop being superstitious about the power of magic. This is the future of the empire!"
