The day after Shandris left, the commanders of the Alliance officially issued the order to the soldiers to evacuate the defense line. The soldiers who received the news were all relieved. After fighting against the devil Charge for four days, no matter how mentally strong the soldiers were, they could no longer hold on. This decision can be said to be the right time.
However, retreating cannot be done simply by giving an order. If you evacuate all at once, you will probably be chased by the demons until the soldiers suffer heavy losses or even the entire army is destroyed. Under the command of Uther, the soldiers of the Alliance began to evacuate in batches and provided cover for each other, avoiding chaos to the greatest extent. Moreover, according to common experience, an organized retreat can also confuse the enemy to a certain extent and buy more time for one's own side.
However, Burning Legion's thinking is not something that ordinary people can guess. After discovering that Alliance began to retreat, these ferocious demons directly pressed forward with their troops, seemingly intending to eat the last batch of retreating soldiers. It may also be that the inertia of the previous attack has been maintained. The demons did not hesitate at all, which made the commanders of the Alliance a little overwhelmed.
For the demons, most enemies can be overwhelmed by their numerical advantage. Burning Legion, which has occupied countless planets, has almost endless troops. Not to mention that after the demons die, they can be reborn in Twisting Nether in most cases. In this kind of war of attrition, the demons are even more fearless.
But the devil's fearlessness has brought great danger to the Alliance soldiers. If you look at personal strength, few of the Alliance soldiers can compete with the devil, except for those imps and evil spirits. Even an ordinary Felguard requires three or four Alliance soldiers to fight against the little devil. The number of devils is almost infinite, and the disadvantage of the Alliance is further expanded.
Not to mention that they are currently retreating, the cooperation between the soldiers has been greatly weakened, and the cover of the position has been lost. The situation of the Alliance has become very bad. At least the last batch of evacuated soldiers will encounter a lot more danger. If they are not careful, it will turn into a massacre of the soldiers by demons.
Uther also expected this, so not only did he stay in person, but Silver Hand's knights were also left together. Only these most elite Paladin faced Burning Legion's pursuit can minimize the losses, but it is precisely because Knight of the Silver Hand is Alliance's most elite combat force, every time they lose one person it is a blow to the Alliance.
Although Aaron was dissatisfied with the behavior of some Knight of the Silver Hand who had been spying on him, Silver Hand Warhammer, he was still touched by the sight of Order of the Silver Hand resolutely staying at the end and joined them.
Just facing the demon of the Burning Legion, the addition of Aaron cannot fundamentally change the balance of strength between the two sides. If Knight of the Silver Hand plus Aaron is enough to resist If the devil was chasing him, Alliance should have defeated Burning Legion long ago. Aaron was just trying to help reduce Knight of the Silver Hand's losses as much as possible.
This continuous pursuit lasted for half a day. In the end, Paladin's excellent mounts could no longer hold on any longer, but the demons behind them still looked tireless.
This may be because a new group of demons has been chasing them, but to humans, the faces of demons of the same race are basically the same and cannot be distinguished at all.
Although he felt that he would not be in any danger, the situation where his fellow soldiers were killed by demons from time to time still made Aaron feel very uncomfortable. It was not until Aaron felt the breath of Night Elf hidden in the mountains and forests that he breathed a sigh of relief. He finally reached his destination - Night Elf's ambush circle.
Most of the Night Elf who ambushed here are experienced and sophisticated hunters, and they know well that they cannot alert the snake in the grass. It was not until Knight of the Silver Hand and some of the demons chasing them broke out of their encirclement that Night Elf launched the attack. It happened to capture a large number of demons in the circle and frightened away the demons further behind.
"Knights, prepare to counterattack!" Although Uther could not detect the specific ambush range of Night Elf, he kept paying attention to the reaction from the rear. After confirming that Night Elf had ambushed as promised, he immediately ordered Paladin to prepare to turn around and deal with the demons behind them.
After losing the almost endless reinforcements from the rear, this group of demons became no longer so scary. Holy Light's restraint on demons is not just talk, especially the Paladins can also use the power of the war horse Charge to kill demons. Even a large and burly demon may die under such Charge.
However, compared to Knight of the Silver Hand who was exhausted by the demon's pursuit, Night Elf's killing efficiency was even higher. Not only did they face more enemies, but they also had reinforcements from the rear. Although they were watching eagerly, they still rushed to kill all the demons in the ambush circle before Silver Hand finished the work. Such clean killings gave the demons who were organized again behind a warning, so that they did not dare to move forward easily again.
Just when Aaron thought that the retreat was about to end, he saw the demons behind him carrying a large dark red boulder covered with gray-green runes. The stone seemed to contain endless flames. Just the way it was carried, many trees on both sides of the road were burned and turned yellow.
Aaron When I was still wondering what the boulder was, I saw that under the spell cast by the demons, a large amount of gray-green flames sprayed out from the boulder, and gradually condensed into an elemental creature more than ten meters tall.
"Ragnaros? But why is it green?" Aaron looked at the Fire Elemental that was quite similar to Firelord in surprise. The flames surrounding the other party turned into the gray-green color of Fel. Judging from the appearance, it was indeed Ragnaros, but it was corroded by Fel.
After contacting Fire Elemental, who was corrupted by Fel, who was encountered in Blackrock Mountain, it is not so strange that Ragnaros fell to this point, but I am afraid only Archimonde can corrode a powerful elemental king, right?
Although I don't know how strong the evil fire version of Ragnaros is, Aaron at least knows that it is not something that ordinary people can handle. If he is charged at him, not one of Night Elf and Knight of the Silver Hand present will be able to escape.
However, Aaron consumes a lot of money during this period. Even if he uses Avatar, he may not be able to last for long. He is filled with despair for a while. He may be able to escape, but what will others do? This loss will be a bit too great.
"I knew you would definitely appear, Ragnaros!" At this moment, a giant who seemed to have been waiting for a long time suddenly appeared on the edge of the battlefield. It was Odyn who had once surrendered Ragnaros.
Odyn laughed loudly and walked towards Firelord, who had been eroded by Fel. In addition to the big sword he often used, he also held a war hammer filled with flames. It was Firelord's war hammer, Sulfuras, as if to show off. "Your opponent is me, and I won't let you go this time!"
"Odyn? Who is that?" Ragnaros's response almost directly destroyed the momentum of Odyn's appearance. Is there anything worse than his long-awaited old rival forgetting about him?
Odyn looked unconcerned about this and just laughed, waving two weapons and directly faced Ragnaros. The old rivals immediately fought together.
