Chapter 125: The Battle of Stratholme (1)

　　 The Dark Portal of Azeroth has been around for twenty years. In this originally ordinary year, there have been many extraordinary events that could even be recorded in history.
　　In the beginning, the Burning Legion planned for thousands of years, and after learning the lessons of failure thousands of years ago, once again planned a conspiracy against the planet of Azeroth.
This time, they first found and used a chess piece-the Lich King Ner'zhul. Ten years after the orc war ended, they used this orc former shaman to launch a new round against the world of Azeroth. offensive! The death plague of undead natural disasters spread on the land of the original Lordaeron kingdom. These are also the handwritings of Ner'zhul who became the Lich Queen. Of course, all this was actually carried out under the command of the Burning Legion behind the scenes.
Later, the fall of Prince Arthas Menethil of the Kingdom of Lordaeron happened again, and the entire Kingdom of Lordaeron also collapsed...So, this was planned by the Burning Legion conspiracy, and by the witches. The death storm directly carried out by the Demon King finally swept the entire northern continent of the Eastern Kingdom. Both the human kingdom of Lordaeron and the high elves of Quel'Thalas were destroyed in this storm!
　　Even, even Dalaran, the magic capital of mankind, has not been spared. This is already recorded, and Dalaran was destroyed by war for the third time! It's just... this time, even their chief archmage Antonidas died on the spot together, and for this they lost a high elf prince-Kael'thas!
It seems... the entire northern continent of the Eastern Kingdom is shrouded in the shadow of death. The threat of undead natural disasters is like a haze that will never dissipate, pressing so the heads of all the creatures in the northern continent. ; And like the sword of Damocles, you never know when it will fall to your head...
　　 Especially after Arthas and Kel'Thuzad successfully stole the Book of Medivh and summoned the demon lord of the Burning Legion-the Defiler, Archimonde!
　　 Since Archimonde officially arrived, from the moment the Burning Legion announced that it had once again come to the world of Azeroth, the entire Eastern Continent, it seems..., there is no hope.
　　 A large number of humans, as well as those remaining orcs still stranded in the deep mountains and old forests, all began to organize to flee, desperately trying to stay away from this world doomed to be ruled by death...
Except for a small number of humans who tried to cross the strait, go south to Dun Morogh, to the dwarf's territory, or to take refuge in the Kingdom of Stormwind further south, the others chose to cross the endless sea to the card across the ocean. Limdor Continent took refuge. This includes the human being led by Lady Jaina Proudmoore and the orc tribe led by the new generation of orcs Thrall.
　　 The Lord of the Burning Legion, the defiler Archimonde's arrival, had a huge impact on the situation of the entire Eastern Kingdom. It was like a huge shadow that shrouded everyone's hearts. Some powerful abilities who have sensed each other's strength have chosen to hibernate and no longer try to come out and make trouble or toss.
　　 For example, at that time, due to a certain bad girl, the Balrog King Ragnaros and the black dragon prince Nefarian were almost born and died! Now, these two extremely tense relationship between life and death enemies are still occupying the upper and lower parts of Heishi Mountain. Now, none of them dare to talk about continuing to fight, for fear of accidentally making too much noise. , Thus attracting the attention of the great devil.
　　 And like Ironforge or the Kingdom of Stormwind, this kind of force that is separated from the strait in the southern continent, due to the lack of sufficient understanding of the specific conditions of the northern continent, now they are still just maintaining vigilance and attention. The information is not equal to them, it is not too clear for the time being, what terrible things happened on the land of Lordaeron.
　　 After all, the distance between the two parties is too far away. In addition, the information of this era is still relatively closed. Communication basically can only rely on them who shout, and now they can only receive some scattered news. For them, it seems that they are staying on the terrible plague that broke out in the Kingdom of Lordaeron?
In this way, in the twentieth year of the establishment of the Dark Portal, when the winter in the northern hemisphere of the world of Azeroth is about to come; when some human kingdoms and dwarf forces still choose to stick to and protect themselves; When some of the strong choose to hibernate or escape from this continent; when the Paladin Dathrohan is escorting their Lordaeron Kingdom's last Princess Kalia on the way to the Holy Light’s Hope Chapel; here in the Eastern Plaguelands , The Flame Kingdom that just rose up in the Flame Canyon, in the early morning, under the slightly immature order of a little girl, brazenly blew the first horn to counterattack the undead natural disasters and the demon army!
After countless years, whether it is a dwarf or a dwarf who likes archeology, or those historians of the human kingdom and high elves, they all like to mark the events that have taken place on this day that have a major impact on the world of Azeroth. To fight the first battle of the Burning Legion, and in historical data, it is called the Wrath of the Flame Queen!
It was this mysterious little girl whose origins could not be found by all historians. It was this powerful existence who claimed to be the Queen of Fire. She led her army of fire elements and wiped it out in an instant within two days. All the land north of Blackwood Lake, the land of Eastern Plague, whether it is the human town where the undead occupies, the psychic tower base, or the guard towers and barracks left by the elven humans, under the attack of the fire element army, Those undead and buildings were all burned to pieces of white ground. This is the first time in her Flame Kingdom, showing their hideous fangs to the world of Azeroth...
　　……
　　 Stratholme, this majestic human city built of white solid granite, has been reduced to death since it was massacred by the Prince of Alsace.
　　 Now, this place has become a paradise for the undead. Right now, in this huge city once human beings, there are at least one hundred thousand undead army entrenched! If it is in normal times, it is estimated that no living person or creature will come near here at will. For all living beings, this is a place of death, an extremely terrifying evil existence!
However, today, this terrifying Stratholme is surrounded by more than fifty thousand flame army of the Flame Kingdom. Outside Stratholme, the sky and the earth are all reflected by the flames of the flame element. Look around. Go, as if it has surrounded the city in a sea of ​​flames... well, not as if, this is actually the truth!
　　 "Hey! I said you guys are really useless! Just fight for a long time with such a monster?"
Annie had just floated off the back of the pure-blooded fire eagle lord Celia, and saw a few fire demon centurion and fire demon hunter in front of Stratholme moat, in a clearing opposite to a meat grinder. With a group of lava dogs besieging a huge suspense hate.
Outside the siege formation, there are also many small Balrogs throwing small fireballs at hatred. However, even if the opponent's back is ignited, the back is still squeaking, even the disgusting fat. , Has been roasted by the high temperature, and it still doesn't seem to have much effect on this huge hatred.
Because, in its fat flesh, before the key points are burned, these flames still can't have much effect on it. You must know that it is just an undead patched up by a pile of dead flesh. That's it! Whether it is half-ripe or 80-ripe by the fire, what is the difference for its hatred?
When the fire elements below saw their queen arrived, they looked at each other a little bit. After all, they can’t be blamed, but because this seam hate is too big, at least as tall as the lava giant Otuk. It's so fat, they really can't use it.
I don’t know if the undead have been stimulated by Otuk before, and made this hatred so great that neither the fire demon’s war blade or the bite of the lava dog can help it, but the fire Even if the demon hunter’s bow and arrow have penetrated into the opponent’s skin and penetrated deeply into the tail feathers, it cannot cause much damage to it. On the contrary, several lava dogs rushing too fast and eager for merit were trampled on by it. After a few scorching hot lava slag...
"Humph!"
　　 Annie snorted coldly, like the one in front of her, only her huge size without the hatred of corresponding protective power can't trouble her!
　　 And only those evil undead can create this kind of disgusting thing with its appearance! There is no metal armor, and no resistant skin. A lot of stinky meat is piled up like this. Is it great to be big?
　　 So, Annie, who fell from the fire eagle's back, didn't even think about it. She threw out a shattering fire, and the huge blasting fireball struck the head that hated that disgusting.
After a bang, the head of Abomination was blown up, and at the same time, after the control center inside was destroyed, the huge meat mountain shook back and forth for so many times and had to fall straight down. After going down, the huge weight shook the ground nearby slightly...
　　 "Do you know where Shan Knox is? Hurry up and find it! Let it gather troops immediately, we are ready to attack the city!"
　　 Looking at the chaotic surrounding fire elements who are still fighting on their own, Annie shouted to a fire demon centurion who was still dazed.
The fire elements are really running too scattered. Annie has already seen it from high above the sky. Just now when she looked down from above, the ground is full of thick smoke and flames, and the flames of tens of thousands are scattered. Everywhere, chaos turned into a pot of porridge!
　　 Now, the front of the fire element has been stretched long and chaotically, almost losing its organizational structure. If it weren’t for the fact that the opponent is too weak, and the characteristics of the fire elements happen to restrain the undead, and if they were replaced by the orc-like cruel characters, they might have been given. Go back!
　　 Look, these fire monsters and lava dogs, who run relatively fast, have already hit here, but where are the flame turtles and lava giants that walk slowly? Maybe, they are still far behind, even the shadow is not seen? Otherwise, with such a huge abomination, they just played so hard? The lava giant came down in a round of punches. Does this Roshan hate hard or the stone man?
　　 "Huh? Ah...! Yes! Me, I'll go right away!"
After seeing that Her Majesty the Queen was speaking to herself, the Fire Demon Centurion was stunned for a while, and when she saw the Queen staring at her dissatisfiedly, when she was about to attack, he suddenly reacted and led quickly. The two lava dogs went all over the world looking for Shan Knox, their chief manager.
Soon, after the Queen’s order was issued, the fire elements quickly swept away the undead natural disasters around the entire diseased forest, and they quickly spent a long time under the swearing of the chief director and the fire demon leaders. Only gradually completed the basic formation arrangement. At this time, on the road behind, the lava giants who were racing against the elite lords of the flame giant Teropene and his heirs finally arrived at Stratholme's South Gate slowly.
　　……
　　 Now, above the sky, countless pure-blooded fire eagles are hovering among the clouds, and there are a few crisp eagle howls from time to time. As the only air troop of the fire element, they are waiting for their queen to issue an offensive order.
Once they receive the order, the powerful fire eagles with more than a thousand heads will whizz and dive down, directly on Stratholme below, and they will ensure that they will be able to break through the wall before the fire element on the ground. Turn this city into a sea of ​​flames in one step!
And before Stratholme’s moat lake, more than a hundred lava giants are activating their unique earth magic. Giant stone pillars and ground thorns begin to rise from the lake surface, and then break apart. They need Open a few more passages on the lake so that the fire elements can pass smoothly. After all, the lake water can cause great damage to the fire elements.
　　 And now, in the diseased woods burned by the soaring fire, a large army of flames is gathering all over the mountains, and they move unimpeded in the fire field like a doomsday purgatory.
Whether it's a lava dog, a flame tortoise, or all kinds of Balrogs, these forest fires not only have no effect on them, but they also contribute to their power. From time to time, there are certain fire demon centurions who come and go. Among the teams, they kept reprimanding them, working hard to maintain the basic order of the army.
　　 Those undead camps that were originally in the diseased woods are now gone. After all, under the majesty of the flame army, in the raging sea of ​​flames, whether it is a defensive psychic tower or a meat grinder built by the undead, it has been burned to a white ground long ago...
　　The situation before Stratholme shocked the necromancers in the city and the members of the cursed cult who still maintained their identities!
　　 In their opinion, perhaps, the flame army in front of them is the veritable Burning Legion, right? Take a look, they burn wherever they go... The blazing flames outside, I guess there is nothing left after this forest fire, right? In case... if they break through the city wall and rush into Stratholme... this scene, just thinking about it, feels terrible!
The situation is so bad that those necromancers or sect members who still maintain their own independent consciousness are already thinking about how to escape. Maybe, when the city is broken, they can try to escape to the north and break through. ?
　　……
　　 "Let me listen to the undead in Stratholme! Only one hour for you... Ah, no! You can surrender within a quarter of an hour at most, otherwise, after we rush in, we will definitely burn you all!"
Annie is now standing on the head of Otuk, the tallest lava giant. Before they stepped out of the flame army, she was now akimbo with one hand on her hips, and she yelled softly in the direction of Stratholme. .
　　 Now, don't mention how proud Little Annie is!
　　I think at the beginning, when she was in Quel'Thalas, she was bullied by the large number of undead, and she was chased by them several times!
　　 What about now? Feng Shui turns around? Aha! Now it's finally her turn to bully those undead! She has been waiting for this day for a long time, and Little Annie is very vengeful! Whether they surrender or not, she will burn them all!
　　 "Huh! Stupid and ignorant human beings, please continue to be proud! Lord Archimonde is coming here soon, and your end is coming!"
　　 Varimathras on the head of Stratholme, with a gloomy look, looked at the flame army outside and the little girl standing on the head of the giant lava giant with a full face.
　　 Now, after the idiot of Banazar died, Stratholme was naturally under his control. But he never expected that he had just arrived here just a few days after taking office, and before he had time to rectify the military affairs, would these fire elemental army just kill before the gate?
　　 The reason why he is not frightened to run away now is just because he knows: Lord Archimonde, after receiving the news, is already on his way to here.
If it weren’t for the fact that Archimonde’s energy level is too high, and this world still has the defensive mechanism left by the Titans, if the portal is used at will, the existence of the level like an adult will easily be affected by Azeroth. The world’s defense mechanism is directly squeezed out, so you can only fly over slowly! Otherwise, it would have been directly transmitted over a long time ago, where will these fire elements be given the opportunity to show off here?
　　 "Huh? Archimonde? Is that the big devil? So... when will he be here?"
Annie was a little bit embarrassed. If it was the big devil, she would really not be able to fight it. If she was siegeing the city and the other party arrived in time, it would not be very fun if she was under the enemy. !
　　 "Hmph! Are you afraid? Lord Archimonde will be here at night at the latest. Maybe, if you surrender now, maybe it's too late?"
　　 The polluter's thoughts, Varimathras actually knew.
　　 Master Archimonde wanted to get these powerful fire elemental troops under the command of the Legion, ready to work with the strength of the Burning Legion to serve as the main force in the attack on Kalim. After all, on the continent of Kalimdor, there are not only a large number of humans and orcs who have escaped, but also an unknown number of night elves of unknown strength!
　　 "Well, it really takes night to arrive? Aha! Then you are dead!"
　　 "Blast Flame Technique!"
　　 Hearing this, Annie's eyes lit up, and if she can only arrive at night, then she can burn all the pesky undead in the city first! There must be enough time!
Therefore, after she threw a huge blasting technique at the dreadlord bat on the head of the city, she jumped directly off Otuk’s head. Firehawk Lord Celia swooped down in time and jumped to Little Annie in the air received it on her back.
　　 "Fire Legion! Attack!"
At an order from Annie, the lava giant Otuk led hundreds of other lava giants under him to rush directly to the walls of Stratholme through the lake. They need to destroy those in the way for the fire element army behind in advance. City wall.
At the same time, above the high altitude, those huge fire eagle troops also rushed down at the same time, countless flame breaths exploded in the city, and those psychic towers and meat grinders that had not had time to attack were plunged into flames. Surrounded by...
　　 "Asshole! Get ready for defensive operations!"
　　 After evading Anne's blasting technique in a hurry, Varimathras sternly ordered the undead to be wrong. The city he used to stand on has now been blown into ruins by Annie's blasting technique. If the city wall were not made of rock, it would have been burnt into a sea of ​​flames?
"Hellfire!"
　　 Varimathras didn't intend to stand alone. Stratholme had more than 100,000 undead troops here. Although the good and the bad, there were not many elites, he would definitely not be able to fight these fire elements. However, if he only delays the defense until Lord Archimonde arrives, he is still a little confident.
Therefore, after avoiding Annie’s spells, he also guided them to the large-scale summoning spells that the Dreadlord is best at. In an instant, countless green hellfires appeared from the air and smashed into the charging lava giant formation. Coming down, while disrupting the opponent's charge formation, it quickly turned into dozens of green hellfires the size of those small lava giants.
　　 "Wait! What is this voice?"
　　 Just after releasing the Summoning Hellfire, Varimathras suddenly felt something was wrong when he was about to release another major earthquake. It seemed... something was falling from the sky?
　　 Regardless of the backlash caused by the interruption of the spell, he quickly looked up at the sky, and saw... a huge flame meteorite was dragging a long tail flame, screaming and smashing down towards his position...
　　Run!
　　 Varimathras just had time to release a flash~EbookFREE.me~ The section of the wall where he was standing was smashed to pieces by the huge meteorite, and then...
　　 Boom! After a loud noise.
　　 After the impact of the meteorite destroyed a large section of the city wall and wiped out thousands of undead, a huge red hellfire bigger than Otuk slowly stood up in the pit...
　　 "Huh! Do you think you can summon hellfire? No matter how many green fires you have, what use is there? Is there my hellfire? Is there my hellfire?"
　　In the distance, standing on the back of Celia the Fire Eagle, Little Annie slowly retracted her hands that had just guided the spell. At this moment, the red flame arcane light still lingered on her body, which was a normal phenomenon after the spell was cast. And the huge red hellfire that is raging at the head of Stratholme and smashed a certain green hellfire to pieces with one foot is her masterpiece just now!
　　 Otherwise, do you think that the demigod Annie will only throw small and big fireballs? The deterrent power of a demigod can be fully displayed in front of this kind of large army battle, under the heavy protection of the army.
　　 Adhering to the principle that big is beauty and evil is good, the things Annie summons will certainly not be too petty.
　　 Look, the huge red hellfire she just summoned just now, how brutal and domineering? Although there are restrictions on time and so on, it will not exist for too long, and it may fall apart after a while... But this is enough to tear down that nasty city wall!
