Blackrock Mountain pierced the sky like a burning giant sword in the dusk, and the magma flowing between the cracks in the mountain dyed the clouds blood red. Varian·Wrynn stood on the temporary command podium On the top, the iron gloves were clenched into fists. Behind him, the flag of Stormwind City was flapping in the scorching wind. Thousands of soldiers were making final preparations for the battle, and there were also dwarves and Gnome troops mixed in among them.
"Your Majesty, all siege equipment is in place." Bolvar·Duke Fordragon wiped the sweat from his forehead. The heat wave of the lava made his plate armor extremely hot. "But according to the report of the Gryphon reconnaissance team, Blackrock Orc is building fortifications on the mountain road."
Varian squinted his eyes, and a black-skinned figure could be vaguely seen moving on the mountainside. He waved his hand, and a group of mages from Dalaran floated over.
"Masters, launch the attack." The king ordered.
"Yes, Your Majesty." The young mage showed a mysterious smile, his sleeves flashing with Arcane Energy, "Those little guys will be an eye-opener for them."
At the same time, in the deepest part of Blackwing Lair, Nefarian was leaning over a twisted dragon corpse. The energy of shadow and flame flowed from his fingertips, and he injected a tube of emerald-colored liquid into the exposed spine of the corpse. On the walls around the laboratory, dozens of similar creatures were imprisoned in the magic force field, screaming in pain.
"Sir! The Alliance army has begun to attack from the bottom of the mountain!" A Dragon Guard stumbled in, his scales covered with gunpowder smoke.
Black Dragon Prince didn't even raise his head, but waved his hand impatiently. "Let those orc experiments play with them. Tell Rend to get rid of the annoying bugs quickly."
The guard hesitated to speak, but when he saw the dangerous light flashing in his master's eyes, he immediately lowered his head and retreated. Nefarian turned his attention back to the experimental platform, with a cruel curve at the corner of his mouth. "Baby, let's continue playing."
The battle on the mountain road was one-sided. Blackrock Orc originally had the advantage of the terrain. They built a bunker with rough lava rocks. The strong Warrior at the rear kept throwing boulders and shooting arrows downwards. But after the mage arrived, these battle-experienced orcs Warrior fell into chaos.
The mage used Levitate, which flew higher than the orcs' defense line. The thrown Glyph Bomb was thrown directly on the orcs' heads and exploded. These orc experimental subjects whose brains have been burned out have never seen such a high-dimensional strike. After throwing corpse fragments on the ground, the rest escaped completely.
In the command post, Bolvar put down the telescope in shock. "Holy Light is up here. What kind of weapon is this?"
"Dalaran's latest achievement." The leading Master Dalaran said proudly, "Mix unstable glycerin and Arcane stabilizer, and accurately calculate the tipping point. Ah, I won't go into details. The important thing is that we broke through the first line of defense."
This is obviously an alchemy product invented by Antonidas. In the words of this mage who talks about goblins, it has become a god-like and high-end product. He wants Stormwind City to pay more.
Varian frowned. "This kind of weapon can't be used in a narrow space, right?"
"Indeed, Your Majesty." Master Dalaran nodded, "Using it in a cave will cause a landslide, and we will all be buried in the mountainside."
As if to confirm his words, a deep dragon roar came from the depths of the mountain. Varian pulled out his sword, the blade glowing with blood under the reflection of the magma. "Give me the order and prepare for close combat. The real battle has just begun."
In the distance, Blackrock Spire was watching the battlefield with Rend and Blackhand frowning. This group of enemies was obviously well prepared. Originally, he wanted to use the terrain advantage to block them for at least a while, but after the opponent used strange bombs, it seemed that Blackrock Spire was about to enter a defensive battle.
"Great Chieftain, we can't stop it. Humans are too cunning. Our brothers suffered heavy casualties." A Blackrock Orc team leader who escaped back complained to his chief.
Rend watched with a gloomy face as the human troops at the foot of the mountain began to climb the mountain in an orderly manner. Those damn mages were still floating in the sky monitoring Blackrock Spire's movements.
"Great Chieftain, what should I do?" All the boys looked at their Great Chieftain eagerly.
It is definitely impossible to defend now. There are not many Blackrock Orc in the first place. Facing Alliance's elite troops and strong generals, there is only one way to die. When we took refuge in Nefarian, we wanted to have a leg up to avoid the entire army being destroyed.
"We withdraw!" Rend finally made up his mind.
"Where to evacuate?" the younger brothers asked anxiously. "Nefarian Prince will not let us go."
"Don't worry, he can't even protect himself." A ferocious smile appeared on Rend's face, "Retreat from the path. Someone outside will help us go to other continents."
As soon as they heard that there was such a good thing and there was no need to stay here to die, the boys quickly took action, packed up their important belongings, and quietly retreated from the path.
When Varian's troops finally entered Blackrock Spire, they found that there was not a single orc inside? He was deeply afraid of an ambush and did not dare to let the army go deep. After sending out several teams of scouts, he had to believe that all Blackrock Orc here had escaped.
He then ordered everyone to quickly occupy key points, and the main force continued to attack.
The corridors inside Blackrock Mountain were as wide as avenues in some places, but were also narrow and difficult to navigate, and the air was filled with the stench of sulfur and rotten flesh. Alliance soldiers had to move forward slowly in formation, the light of torches mixed with the glimmer of magma casting twisted shadows on the black rock walls. Along the way, they cleared away many giant wolves, spiders, Ogre and other miscellaneous monsters.
After passing through a narrow stone door, the upper passage of Blackrock Spire opened.
"Stop!" Dwarven Firearm, who was walking at the front, suddenly raised his fist. He keenly heard the sound of scales rubbing against rocks at the corner ahead.
The next second, several black figures jumped out of the darkness. They were Nefarian's elite guards - completely Dire Maul Dragonman Warrior, followed by slightly smaller Black Dragon hatchlings. Their sharp claws could easily tear apart Steel Plate, and the flames they breathed were enough to melt steel.
"For the Alliance!" The human shield defenders quickly stepped forward, forming a defense line with large stainless steel shields. Dragon flames spurted out, and the three shields in the front row instantly turned red. The soldiers holding the shields howled in pain, but the line did not move at all.
Varian jumped out from behind the shield wall like lightning, and the battle sword split into two in the air. The sword light flashed, and the head of a Dragonkin flew high, and black blood splashed on the rock wall with a corrosive hissing sound.
"Bolvar! Left wing!"
Duke Fordragon understood and led a team of Paladin to flank them. Holy Light's blessing made their war hammers shine with golden light, and every swing left scorched black marks on Dragonkin's hard scales.
The battle quickly intensified. In such a narrow space, it was difficult to use any sophisticated tactics, and only the most primitive strength was left to resist. A young soldier was swept by the dragon's tail in the chest, flew backwards and hit the rock wall, blood gushing out from his mouth and nose. Before his companion could rescue him, his throat was pierced by sharp claws.
"Keep the formation!" Varian roared, and the sword danced into a silver whirlwind. Dragonkin and human corpses filled the passage. When no new enemies came out, Varian put down the sword and took a breath. All Warrior were cheering for victory. They once again defeated the evil Black Dragon.
Deep in Blackwing Lair, Nefarian's laboratory was shaking violently, and a bottle of precious medicine fell from the shelf, exploding purple smoke on the ground. Black Dragon Prince finally raised his head from the experiment, and his golden vertical pupils shrank into a thin line.
"What did you say? Say it again!" His voice was horribly low.
General Dragonkin, who was kneeling on the ground, was trembling. "Master, Orc Betrayal has killed us! They all ran away through the secret passage, and the Alliance army has broken through to Blackwing Lair! The Dragon Guard army on the periphery has been wiped out, Lord Wyrmthalak died in the battle, and General Drakkisath was seriously injured."
"That's enough!" Nefarian smashed the experimental platform with one claw, and the corrupted dragon corpse fell to the ground. Only then did he realize the seriousness of the situation - those mortals whom he regarded as ants actually threatened Blackwing Lair.
Nefarian suddenly understood something and let out a deafening roar. The whole Blackwing Lair trembled in his anger, and gravel fell from the top of the rock. "Rend That old fox! He had already planned to run away!"
He turned to the horrified servants. "Initiate the final defense plan. Put all experimental subjects on the battlefield, including the unstable ones." A cruel smile appeared on his face, "Since they want to see Black Dragon King, let them see the real terror."
As Nefarian strode towards the throne room, his body began to twist and swell. The black robe was torn, the dark scales pierced the skin, and the strong wind caused by the stretched wings blew out all the torches. In the absolute darkness, only the pair of dragon eyes burning with hatred were clearly visible.
Not long after, in the sky above Blackrock Mountain, a Black Dragon with half its tail missing hurriedly took off and flew away. The arrows fired by the human soldiers could not catch up with his fleeing figure. Before disappearing, there was a panicked shout in the sky, "I will definitely come back!"
