Darnassus of Nightmares

A large number of Nightmare Druids and Satyrs appeared atop Darnassus's gates. Clearly, this had been arranged in advance by Archdruid Fandral Staghelm.

"Just you think you can stop us?" Tauren High Chieftain Cairne Bloodhoof said disdainfully, then led the Bloodhoof Guard in a charge against Darnassus's gates.

"Loose!" Leyara gave the order. Although those infected by the Nightmare were generally Druids, a group of Sentinels had also pledged loyalty to Archdruid Fandral Staghelm. These five thousand Sentinels had now been stationed at Darnassus's gates to stop any enemies who might appear.

The Night Elf Sentinels were highly skilled archers, and their arrows flew toward the weak points and gaps in the Bloodhoof Guard warriors' plate armor, where they would inflict the greatest damage.

The Bloodhoof Guard was not the Trifarix Legion. Rather than excelling at defense, they specialized in offense, so few of them carried shields. Faced with the Night Elf Sentinels' rain of arrows, they actually chose to endure it without even lowering their heads.

The Night Elf Sentinels' arrow volleys were normally devastating enough that even Burning Legion demons could not withstand them, yet the number of fallen Tauren warriors in the Bloodhoof Guard could be counted on one hand.

Even when Sentinel arrows pierced weak points in their plate armor and sank into their bodies, they still could not inflict sufficiently fatal wounds. Their sharp arrowheads were stopped by muscles of incredible density.

Tauren High Chieftain Cairne Bloodhoof casually pulled four arrows from his body without changing expression, blood gushing out like a fountain.

Even more startling, the fallen Bloodhoof Guard Tauren warriors suddenly began to glow with an unusual light. Then they stood up once more, pulled out the arrows that should have been fatal, and looked as though they had suffered no injuries at
