As Shado-Pan leader Taran Zhu led the Shado-Pan elites in using their flesh and blood to hold back the Mantid army at the shattered gate, the female archer Li Qiwei and Blood Elf Regent Lord Lor'themar Theron arrived at the Ancestral Courtyard in the middle of Gate of the Setting Sun to kill Raigonn and prevent it from smashing through the second wall.
As the largest pass along the Serpent's Spine, Gate of the Setting Sun had a double-gate structure, designed precisely to prevent a breach should the iron gate fall.
The second gate was even sturdier than the iron gate, but it would not last long against Raigonn's terrifying headbutts.
Once the second gate was breached as well, Gate of the Setting Sun would be completely lost, and the million-strong Mantid army would flood into the Vale of Eternal Blossoms.
"Regent Lord, my arrows cannot pierce this creature's shell." After trying every location that appeared likely—or unlikely—to be a weak point, the female archer Li Qiwei still failed to break through its armor.
On the other side, Blood Elf Regent Lord Lor'themar Theron also lowered his bow. The grim expression on his face made it clear that he had reached the same result.
If they could not find Raigonn's weakness and defeat it, Gate of the Setting Sun would fall.
Watching Taran Zhu, leader of the Shado-Pan, physically hold back the Mantid army, and watching the second wall of Gate of the Setting Sun tremble without end, the Shado-Pan warriors all made the same decision.
One by one, they strapped bombs around their waists and jumped into the cannon barrels, allowing the Shado-Pan gunners to fire them at Raigonn's enormous body.
The Shado-Pan gunners naturally understood what their brothers intended. Tears filled their eyes as they lit the fuses.
