Chapter 432: Shadow Assassin

When the cute lord of the Flame Alliance, Queen Anne of the Flame Kingdom, was riding her little toy Kromi, flying around the world, not knowing where it was waves, in the north of Lordaeron, a large group of people came here. The navy fleet!
Their tall and large battleships lined up neatly on the sea, with white sails, forest-like masts, and layers of decks and gun gates. The boat is strong and powerful, and it gives a deep sense of shock as soon as you look at it!
And this is the only remaining in the world of Azeroth and the most powerful deep-sea fleet, the Kul Tiran Navy, the seventh fleet of Admiral Daelin Proudmoore Alliance!
"Delyn Proudmoore, Lord Admiral of the Alliance of Lordaeron forever!"
"I, Kalia Menethil, now represents the Flame Alliance, our new kingdom of Lordaeron, and also represents the Menethil royal family and myself. Welcome to our land of Lordaeron again! Please believe me, Your Excellency, you and your Kul Tiras Kingdom will always be our friends of Lordaeron and the Flame Alliance!"
On the Whispering Coast in the northwest corner of Tirisfal Glades, in the port town built here by the Kingdom of New Lordaeron, Kalia, the Queen of the Kingdom of New Lordaeron, is standing on a paved red carpet, standing on both sides Rows of Lordaeron honor guards, accompanied by several generals of the Knights of the Silver Hand, greeted Admiral Dai Lin and the others who had stepped down from the Admiral that docked on the dock.
After a battle with the orc fleet, and then rested in the formation on Shadow Island, now, the 7th Fleet of the Kul Tiras Navy, with the flag of the Alliance of Lordaeron flying high, finally arrived at theirs. destination.
At this time, on the outside, more warships were docked and anchored.
After all, this port has only just been repaired for a few years, and it is not a large sea port. It cannot park too many large warships, so except for a few ships that have docked, the other ships continue to stay on the distant sea. , Waiting for the arrangement of docking and trimming.
Originally, the new Kingdom of Lordaeron had a large seaport, the town of Nanhai! However, the city is still in the hands of the Northern Expedition of the Stormwind Alliance
"Kalia"
"It's really unbelievable. Six years after the world is so fickle, when we meet again, you will have changed from a little girl to a mature king! I think if Terenas knew If you not only conquered the land and rebuilt the Kingdom of Lordaeron, but you also nearly doubled the area of ​​the entire kingdom, he would definitely be very pleased, right?"
Seeing this radiant and beautiful queen in front of him, Dai Lin was deeply moved.
Think of the old Alsatian prince that Terenas was most optimistic about back then. Not only did the other party fail to take on the responsibility of protecting the people and leading the kingdom to grow and grow, he was directly tempted by the devil to fall, and finally killed his father and his teacher. , Directly ruining a great kingdom of Lordaeron, and even turning the entire northern continent of Lordaeron into a ghost on earth
But now, instead, it is this incompetent royal princess who was the least optimistic at the beginning, and even has little impression in the minds of the world. An existence that originally thought could only be used for marriage, but finally turned the tide and saved Lordaeron from water and fire. The founding of the country also took advantage of the trend to develop Lordaeron into this way, allowing a huge new Kingdom of Lordaeron to stand on the northern continent again. Although this achievement is not entirely due to her, in any case, looking at the history of Luotan. Royal Danlun, no king can match her!
"Uncle Dai Lin, you have praised, how can I be as good as you said?"
"All of this is actually the contribution of the various countries in the Flame Alliance and your Majesty the Flame Queen. I am just a named queen!"
Hearing what the other party said, Kaliya hurried forward, as she did before, carefully holding the other's arm, leading this veteran who had grayed sideburns onto the red that she had specially laid out to welcome the other party. carpet.
To this day, there are really not too many elders she knows Kalia and can talk to herself on an equal footing.
I think back then, she had studied Kalia’s swordsmanship for a short period of time with this admiral, so she was half of her teacher? However, it is a pity that, apart from her little achievement in practicing the Way of the Holy Light, her understanding of other things is obviously not very good, basically the kind of scum type that can't learn anything. .
"Ah Kalia, that old Terenas is really blessed to have a daughter like you, and he can rest in peace even if he dies. I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said this!"
People are more dead than others, and you have to shop around!
Looking at the daughter of Terenas, and thinking about Jaina who doesn't know her mind and only knows to fool with the orcs, Dalin's expression with some emotions has become even more lonely.
Of course, when he saw that the other party's face became a little dim, he suddenly came to his senses, as if he realized that he had said something that shouldn't be said, and quickly tried to comfort and explain it.
"Uncle Dai Lin, it's okay, after coming over these years, I actually saw it a long time ago!"
Seeing that this rare old man who could talk freely with him was a little at a loss, Kalia suddenly laughed.
"Right! I forgot to say it!"
"Uncle Dailin, we are very grateful for everything you have done for our Kingdom of Lordaeron! If it were not for you, once the orc fleet landed on the coast of Tirisfal Glades, the consequences would be unimaginable!"
But from this point of view, the opponent's Kul Tiran Navy is their Lordaeron, and even their benefactor of the Flame Alliance! It is precisely because of this that she has this grand welcome ceremony today.
"Hey don't mention this! Actually, I didn't help much. Now the allied forces in Stormwind have retired. It seems that I won't be of any help here again."
"And, strictly speaking, I should be thankful to you! If you hadn't sent those naga to meet us at the time, I'm afraid the Seventh Fleet is no longer there."
Whenever he thinks of the information about the route of the Seventh Fleet that Jaina ran to send to the orc warchief, Dalin almost didn't spit out a bit of old blood! He couldn't imagine how his daughter, his Jaina, would dare to do such outrageous things. Could she be crazy? !
"Did something happen?"
Reminiscent of the information that Naga gave to herself after returning, Kalia actually only knew that they had attacked the tribe’s fleet. As for more, she didn't know much.
However, she still sees something wrong from the other person's expression, who is thoughtful.
"Nothing! Forget it, don't mention this!"
"Didn’t you say you want to invite me to go to Lordaeron to rest for a while? Where is the war horse, hurry up and show me the way, let me also take a good look, your kingdom of Lordaeron, recently What has become of this time?"
Dai Lin will never mention Jaina's matter to anyone. He has already issued strict orders with all the insiders, and this matter has never happened! And those orc captives had already been thrown into the sea to feed the fish after being decapitated by his orders. Certainly no more people would know about this.
"War Horse? But"
"Uncle Dailin, I have been running around for you for such a long time. I also specially prepared a magic carriage for you from Quel'Thalas. It will float on the ground, ensuring that there will be no bumps. sense"
Kalia looked at the row of luxurious and exquisite Quel'Thalas magic vehicles in the distance with a bit of embarrassment, which she had specially purchased from her private treasury.
"Kalia! Remember, I am not actually a pampered king, but a general and an admiral at the same time!"
"As long as I am not dead, as long as I am not too old to walk, then I will never ride in those carriages, I will only drive a warship against the waves on the endless sea, or ride a horse on a horse. Aspect! That is what a general should do!"
""
"Heh Uncle Dailin, I really envy Sister Jaina to have a good father like you"
Somehow, seeing the appearance of the other party, a flash of tears suddenly flashed in Kalia's eyes. Once upon a time, she also had a happy family. The father of the wise Shenwu and the younger brother of Qiyu Xuanyang. However, now, the entire Menethil royal family is left alone by her.
"Hi! Don't mention it! I also envy Terenas that dead ghost can have such a good daughter as you"
""
Soon, as Queen Kalia stepped onto the carriage and Admiral Daelin grabbed a Paladin’s horse and turned over, the Lordaeron Guard guarding Queen Kalia and some of Kul Tiras also The sailors who rode their horses together rode along the King's City of Lordaeron in the southeast direction of the Road King.
To the west of Elwynn Forest, the West Spring Fortress, a threat to Stormwind’s defense from the Western Wilderness and vital to the protection of the capital, is located in the middle of the Irvine River and the tributary of Lake Mingjing. It firmly guards the Western Wilderness. The main way into the Elwynn Forest!
With such a large castle fortress, no matter what kind of enemy, if you want to enter the Elwynn Forest from the Westfall or go north to Stormwind, you must pass this level first! This is certainly no exception to these troops of the Defias Republic!
At this time, although Defias’ army has been under the order of Queen Vanessa to send some elite troops to the east along the road, and began to frequently investigate and harass Golden Town, but the main force of the Republic is still Besieged this West Spring Fortress where only a few thousand people are stationed.
Although I really don’t want to, if Vanessa’s mixed army wants to invade the Elwynn Forest and besiege Stormwind north, then this hard bone that is at a key position, this West Spring Fortress must be removed first. !
Otherwise, the opponent will seriously threaten the security of their Defia Republic Army Corps and the supply channel!
"The Stormwind garrison inside, you listen to me, of course, and the commander, Paladin Bovalfortagan!"
"You have heard it clearly for me: Your Xiquan fortress is now surrounded by our more than 50,000 large army regiments. With the thousands of old, weak, sick and disabled inside you, it is certain that you cannot hold this fortress. So, I advise you to come out and surrender quickly!"
"I am Vanessa VanCleef, Queen of the Defias Republic! I use my reputation as a king to assure you: As long as you come out and surrender unconditionally, we will treat the prisoners preferentially and guarantee the personal safety of all of you. !"
In front of the West Spring Fortress, the originally white granite retaining walls outside the fortress were filled with large and small arrows, spears, or scorched pits made by various magics of trebuchets and wizards. One of the two giant rock lions in front of the gate of Xiquan Fortress was also blown off half of its head
But obviously, this fortress is still very strong so far. It may be that there is some protection against magic in it. Therefore, in the past few days of besieging this fortress, the cannon fodder under Vanessa’s army has left one around. Except for the dead and undistressed corpses of the wolves, trolls, goblins, or ogres, they have not made much progress either.
So, as a last resort, Vanessa had to come forward, planning to try, can she persuade the enemy to surrender directly? Because, she can't wait to run to the main entrance of Stormwind City to show off fiercely, even if she can't attack Stormwind City, she will at least fire some cannons inside and let out a breath of evil?
At that time, those nobles of Stormwind and the King of Varian will be frightened to see her Vanessa VanCleef lead an army before the gate of Stormwind, right?
"Cousin, we don't seem to have an army of fifty thousand? I think it should only be in the early thirty thousand at most?"
At this moment, it was the thin goblin again, who was just behind his cousin Braque, and after hearing Vanessa's words, he whispered quietly.
Snapped! !
"Idiot! Shut me up!"
"In a moment, it's your turn to take the lead! If you can survive, I will tell you why!"
Braque couldn't bear this stupid cousin a little bit. Last time, when he attacked Yuexi Town, he should have hacked the opponent to death, not with the back of the knife!
"Oh"
The little goblin was holding his head a bit wronged. He didn't know why his cousin likes to beat him so much recently? And why should he take the lead in the charge? Didn’t I say before that the hired guys should be sent to death first before they can earn more bounty and pay less commission?
Soon, as Vanessa shouted loudly, above the huge rock gate where the steel gate was placed in the West Springs Fortress, at the crevice of the city wall, a paladin wearing a golden plate armor appeared. On the left and right of the shoulders are the Grand Marshal's eagle shoulders, a blue ribbon, and a middle-aged brawny man with red-brown hair and a beard wearing a golden lion robe with a blue background in Stormwind.
This person is the Grand Duke Bervalfortagan, the commander-in-chief of the West Spring Fortress!
"Huh! Queen? This is really ridiculous!"
"In this huge land of the Kingdom of Stormwind, I, Bovarfurtagan, only knew and recognized the only one most noble king from beginning to end, that is, King Varian Wrynn! At the same time, he too The Supreme King recognized by the nations of the Stormwind Alliance!"
"And you"
"You just said your name is Vanessa VanCleef, right? Huh, that's ridiculous!"
"A fool is a fool! If I remember correctly, you are nothing more than the despicable stonemason of Stormwind, the remnant of the mob and the exiled Edwin VanCleef, the daughter of a criminal, a wanted in Stormwind. Crime, what qualifications and prestige do you have to call yourself queen?!"
"As for the Defias Republic that you said, that's even more ridiculous!"
"You are just a group of thugs. Taking advantage of the opportunity of our Stormwind Kingdom to use foreign troops, and taking advantage of our weak military strength, opportunistic methods generally use sneak attacks to take our Stormwind Kingdom's weakest defensive Western Wilderness! Just like that, You dare to claim to be the king of the establishment, it is simply ignorance!"
"So, I advise you people, it’s best to stay away from the remnants of this mob VanCleef’s family, and put down the weapons and armor family soon! Maybe, we can still forget the blame for our Stormwind City? Or, wait until our Stormwind Kingdom, waiting for our alliance The day the army turns, that's when you idiots go to the guillotine!"
Looking at the unusually conspicuous red flag in the opponent's array, the combat effectiveness of those soldiers who are in neat rows of plate armor is not known for the time being, but Bovar, as the commander-in-chief of the West Spring Fortress, is actually in his heart. It was also a bit anxious, the other party was indeed stronger than them now.
After all, except for the enemy soldiers who are besieging the Xiquan Fortress all around, there will be at least two to thirty thousand people lined up here in front of the main gate and in the simple camp in the distance, although there is definitely no other party’s verbal statement. The so-called 50,000 army, but it is definitely not something that the various soldiers of less than 5,000 in their Xiquan Fortress can easily shake!
Because, Bolvar knows that in West Spring Fortress, apart from the two thousand elite defense forces that were originally stationed in the fortress under the direct jurisdiction of Stormwind City Defense, the rest are all security militias supported by Shinjin Town, and from The Westfall People’s Army, the local security forces and some guards left by the nobles who fled from the Westfall, etc.
With these people, it is already very difficult for them to defend the Xiquan Fortress.
"Our Stormwind Kingdom is kind, I advise you to think clearly!"
"Especially the Defias thug leader Vanessa VanCleef! Listen carefully to me too: I would like to advise you on behalf of the Stormwind Kingdom. You'd better give up your ridiculous queen dream as soon as possible and leave everything behind and run for your life. Well, this is your last chance!"
"Otherwise, in a few days, you are likely to be like your mob father Edwin VanCleef a few years ago. The stupid and ridiculous head on your neck will definitely be chopped off and then high. The high ground hangs on the flagpole at the gate of Stormwind!"
As the saying goes, if you lose, you don't lose, even if the enemy is very powerful now, at least it is much stronger than their West Spring Fortress. However, it is absolutely impossible for him to confess to the opponent easily!
Moreover, as far as he knows, the elite troops of the Northern Expedition have already sailed south from Nanhai Town a month ago. Surely, within a short time, they should be able to reach Stormwind City soon? Therefore, they only need to defend themselves in this sturdy West Spring Fortress. They may only need to hold for ten days and eight days, and the opponent will definitely withdraw their troops, or they will be completely defeated by the elite Northern Expedition Army of their Stormwind Alliance. of!
"Hahaha! Good! Very good!"
"Now, it's too late for you to surrender! I now solemnly declare: Our Defias Republic does not accept the surrender of any soldiers from West Spring! I think the ogres and Stranglethorn Vale trolls we hired are sure I will love the delicious flesh and blood on you!"
Hearing that the other party dared to mention again her most memorable and hated memory of the same year, Vanessa's originally calm face immediately became savage and distorted.
"Little John Misriel, and Braque!"
"You two, immediately push up all of your goblin naval guns, directly destroy half of the shells, and bombard this fortress fiercely! I want you to blow it up in the shortest time!"
"Then, you let the ogres, trolls, and wolves rush in first. As long as they are soldiers wearing armors and armed with weapons, they will do whatever they want. However, the head of the Grand Duke of Bervalfortagan must be Keep it for me! I swear, I must hang the heads of their Stormwind nobles one by one on the gate poles of Stormwind! Definitely!!!"
Originally, Vanessa thought that this fortress was easier to attack, so she had always used simple catapults and cannon fodder to press it up, intending to take advantage of the human sea to win, just like they did in the Westfall. Nothing to lose!
But how can they think that in the past few days, they have encountered a bloodshed here, wasting more than three thousand mercenaries and wolves troops! Coupled with the fact that the other party now refuses to surrender and speaks insult to herself, this has completely irritated her. Therefore, Vanessa decided to knock down the fortress at all costs, and take the head of the hateful duke before saying goodbye. Plan!
"Yes, your honorable Majesty Queen Vanessa, you are optimistic! The artillery of our venture capital company, but the most powerful in the entire West Coast, there is no one!"
"You are farting! My naval guns are the best around here!"
"Oh? Little John, don't you know that your naval guns have not been updated for a long time, are they outdated? And mine, but they were taken down from the latest steamship of the venture capital company. It is the sharpest cannon!"
"Maybe you are right, but the caliber of my outdated artillery is much larger than your new artillery!"
"But your outdated gadgets can never be shot farther and more accurately than my cannon!"
"Haha! Black! Look, that fortress is so big, it stays there without moving. What's the point of hitting far and accurate? I tell you, the siege artillery is to use a big caliber. , Your little cannons are a bit too thin. So I wonder if your little cannonballs can penetrate the boulders that form the walls and fortress walls?"
"Huh! Why do you compare it to me? If I attack the left side, you go bomb the right side. Whoever collapses the castle first can go first. What do you think of my suggestion?"
"This is a good idea, then that's a deal!"
"Time is money, my friend, let us start quickly!"
After receiving the order, the goblins of two different factions who did not see each other contempt each other and verbally suppressed each other's artillery, and then seized the time to trot towards their respective artillery positions.
Bombarding a castle fortress that serves as a fixed target is not too easy for the naval guns of the two groups of goblins! Besides, Queen Vanessa was reimbursed for shells and gunpowder money! There is no better idea to spend other people's money and fight your own!
You know, these two goblins, this little John Mythril, are famous pirates in the west of Northern Stranglethorn and near the west coast of Westfall. They went out to sea and looted merchant ships before they were forced to be included in the Defias Republic. But he is good at it! Now, attacking a fortress that can't move is not too easy for their elite gunners who are pirates!
For Black, the former goblin director of the venture capital company, going out to sea to pull goods and transporting goods, and by the way, when the opportunity is right, he is also one of his masterpieces. Therefore, the gunners are good for his gunners. In fact, it is not too strange?
"Report! Your Excellency Duke! Received an urgent magic message from Stormwind City!"
Just as the Grand Duke of Bolvarfurtagan and the following Van Cleef, who claimed to be the queen, had just ended the cruel talk with each other, before he continued to observe the enemy and arrange to check defensive affairs, a Stormwind communications officer quickly took a A piece of parchment ran towards him in stride.
Then, the other party reported it breathlessly.
"Just read it directly!"
Without even looking at it, Bovar waved his hand behind him to beckon him to read it directly. Because he probably already guessed what the letter might say, and didn't have too many expectations.
For the Duke of Boval, no one knows the guys in Stormwind better than him!
"Yes!"
"This is a handwritten letter from His Majesty King Varian. The letter says: After several discussions, the upper echelons of the kingdom and members of parliament still refuse to send any reinforcements to our West Spring Fortress! Moreover, the elites of the Northern Expeditionary Army went south. , It will take about eight days to reach Stormwind City. If Xiquan Fortress wants to receive reinforcements, then at least ten days to half a month or so.
"His Majesty King Varian also told you: If you really can't hold for that long, please retreat in time and return directly to Stormwind to take charge of defense! His Majesty said that the fortifications of Stormwind are enough to last until the return of the Northern Expeditionary Army. ! Or, if you have any difficulties now, His Majesty the King will do his best to solve it for you!"
After reading this parchment letter again, the communications officer did not find any omissions, and stood up straight again, standing upright behind Bovar, waiting for the other party’s reply, so that when he went, let that The army mage promptly gave information to His Majesty King Varian.
"At least ten days, or half a month"
"Forget it, if you report to His Majesty the King, I will say that Varian will definitely live up to my mission and will stand by the Xiquan Fortress until the return of the reinforcements. Please rest assured!"
Although Bolvar himself was not sure that he could hold it for ten and a half months, he even had no confidence to hold it for three to five days, but he still pretended to be so confident and said to the communications officer with a smile.
"There is something wrong! Everyone get down!!"
However, when he wanted to say something, he suddenly heard a roar from a distance and the sharp and piercing sound of certain objects cutting through the air at high speed. Then, when he realized something, he immediately While shouting loudly, he immediately squatted down against the stone wall on the battlement mouth.
boom! boom! boom!
In the next instant, a violent collision and blast sounded
Numerous solid lead bullets, almost half the size of human heads, or solid iron cannonballs, hit the West Spring Fortress fiercely!
And the communications officer standing at attention, caught off guard, was hit by a cannonball head-on on the spot. The moment the armor was torn, it turned into a large pool of scarlet flesh, which was hit by the cannonball. Direction, hung a whole castle wall and splashed Bovar’s scarlet face
Boom! Boom! Boom!
However, when the wall of the West Spring Fortress was bombarded by a round of shells, the protective wall with magical protection began to sway slightly and roared. When the goblin artillery of Defias Republic outside, the opponent's attack was It didn't stop, the opponent continued to bombard this huge West Spring Fortress with rounds of steel or lead cannonballs.
"Damn it, goblin artillery!"
Seeing the tragic death of the communications officer, Bolvar subconsciously cursed.
"Quick! Everyone pay attention to avoid shells, pay attention to concealment! Yes, just hide under the wall of the wall, don't show up easily, let alone stand up directly!"
While squatting under a protective wall, Bolvar shouted loudly at the soldiers who were running around or still standing in a daze.
However, to his surprise, the enemy's artillery was strangely powerful, and it seemed that the caliber was far better than the defensive artillery of their Stormwind Kingdom? Because, he saw several soldiers who were hiding under the wall like himself. They were directly hit by a shell and hit the wall.
boom! boom! boom!
Countless artillery shells continued to roar and flew over, violently bombarding the outer wall and the retaining wall of the West Spring Fortress, and directly on the outer wall of the white rock fortress castle, they made ugly pits and cracks, even some It also directly smashed the outer walls of the castle wall made of stone, so that the boulder and the cannonballs collapsed into the fortress castle together, and created a huge cannonball gap.
"Be careful! Get out of there!"
Against the broken stones, splashing stones, and clouds of dust and smoke after being blown up by the shells, the Grand Duke of Bourvalfortagan just ran into the lobby of the fortress at the risk of being hit by the shells. At the time, he was horrified to see: One of the walls was directly bombarded by artillery shells and collapsed. Then, countless rocks, turning heads and rock fragments, etc., just collapsed directly from the thick inner wall of the castle, and Yan Yanshi completely submerged a bunch of soldiers waiting in line there waiting for orders.
Fortunately, the main load-bearing structure of the castle seems to be very strong, and it has not been hit by shelling, so Boval thinks that the castle may not be able to collapse temporarily?
"Quickly, you will dig out the wounded immediately!"
"Others, immediately move away from the southern wall and go further inside! Where is our pastor? Hurry up, let them rescue the wounded!"
However, Bolvar's voice was soon obscured.
A round of shells still bombarded in like no money! Some of them can directly penetrate the wall, slamming in and leaving a big hole; some of them just hit the outer wall of the castle, leaving cracks and making roaring sounds when they hit; Some were lucky enough to hit those reserved archery openings, or the large gaps left after being bombarded directly flew in!
And those shells that are directly bombarded without being blocked pose the greatest threat! They can often blast out a trajectory of flesh and blood directly in the halls, rooms and certain places of the castle, or knock an important place into a mess.
However, this level of bombardment is just the beginning!
The artillery outside is still bombarding, it seems that it really doesn't stop if you don't blast this huge fortress stationed with nearly 5,000 Stormwind Kingdom soldiers to the ground? Or, their goblins will obey their Queen Vanessa's orders and directly bombard half of their ammunition?
Anyway, no matter what, two or three hundred goblin artillery pieces, countless hot shells, dragged a track almost visible to the naked eye, and continued to move toward the West Spring Fortress, like a meteor shower, continuously bombarding them.
boom! boom!
The violent shock and explosive sound continued. The bombardment of this degree was more shocking to the defenders of the Xiquan Fortress than the endless monster army swarmed directly in the past few days, or the trebuchet's boulder impact. Much more!
Some soldiers have never seen so many artillery fire at the same time in their entire lives! Of course, this actually includes Lord Bourval.
"Damn, how could they have so many artillery?!"
In the battles in the world of Azeroth, due to the existence of extraordinary powers, such as paladins or mages, and so on, even soldiers can charge and slash with rage. Therefore, movement like artillery is very inconvenient. Gunpowder weapons that cost money and steel are generally only used on battleships. After all, steel is a military material, but money!
Therefore, in offensive warfare, few people will use these heavy and expensive guys. Otherwise, once the enemy sends elite troops to attack, the expensive firearms will really be gone!
But now, what Bolvar doesn't understand is, these Defias traitors, why can they focus so many artillery here? The number of such horrors, I am afraid that there are not so many on the head of Stormwind City, right? Where did they get so much money to get these artillery?
""
Just standing in the middle of the castle hall, with a dark face, feeling the constantly trembling walls and ground of the castle, the violent explosion and impact, and the shells continuously bombarded and slammed into the thickness of the castle. On the rocky wall, one or two walls were broken from time to time, or they got in again at some unknown time, creating hot and smokey cannonballs that caused murders.
Somehow, as the commander-in-chief of Bovar, for the first time, his belief in whether he could hold on to the West Spring Fortress and whether he could survive today was shaken.
Those famous recruits were covering their ears and drew aside in fear. Even the elite guards holding shields stood in a daze, looking at the inside and outside of the castle in confusion. The sound, a shell that got in, and the wailing of the wounded
Almost all the priests are working hard with the men and women carrying stretchers, digging out the dead or wounded soldiers from the collapsed ruins, and then taking them to other places for treatment as soon as possible. No one dares to approach the southern wall casually. , And no one dared to rush out and enter the fighting position. Now, before the enemy launched the soldiers to attack, the entire West Spring Fortress' castle, inside it, had already become chaotic.
"Your Excellency the Duke of Bourval!"
"The soldiers at their posts can't stand it anymore. The Xiquan Fortress will soon be unstoppable! The outer wall to the west has collapsed in a big gap, and the inner wall is crumbling. If the enemy rushes in again, we must be Can't hold it! You should order the retreat as soon as possible?!"
At this time, a general of Stormwind took the risk and ran in from outside, and at a glance saw the Duke of Bourval standing in the middle of the castle hall like a statue, so he just risked whether it was a splashing stone. Chung, ran directly to the Duke's side and reported loudly.
A good fortress was bombed by the enemy in more than ten minutes and became like this. In addition, after the city wall has lost its protective effect, with a force of less than five thousand people, it is definitely not able to resist those outside. Defias the traitor!
So now, retreat is their only way to survive!
"No! Can't retreat!"
"Without the West Spring Fortress, our Stormwind City will be directly besieged by the enemy! I will never let the enemy pass by, never! We must insist on the battle until the last person!"
After pushing away the general who requested to retreat, Bolvar drew his long sword from his waist and shield behind his back. Obviously, although the enemy's attack was very fierce now, he still did not retreat. Plan!
"Let the marksman be on the top of the castle and see if he can attack the enemy's artillery position with heavy bows and arrows! Then, let our artillery not save ammunition, and I will immediately counterattack!"
"Soldiers! Get ready, when the enemy's shelling is over, we will all go to the outside posts!"
After giving the order, he was about to go out and planned to go all out to command the remaining troops to defend against the enemy's attack. He was once again stopped by the general who came to persuade him to withdraw his troops.
"Your Excellency Duke!"
"Listen! With the enemy's attack, it is estimated that it will not be long before our castle fortress is blown up by the enemy! At that time, we will all be buried inside without an attack from outside enemies!"
"We don't have the means to fight back now, and we can't rush out to counter the enemy. It's definitely impossible to stay in this castle like this! I believe it won't be long, maybe we won't have to wait for tomorrow, we are all finished!"
If there are enough artillery here, if they have enough troops, then they will not be so passive! It's a pity that they have nothing now!
Xiquan Fortress has been in peace for a long time, and there has been no war for almost 20 years. Except for the ordinary soldiers of the city, the artillery is so lagging behind. The archery force is even rarer and can repel the enemy's several attacks. They were all done by relying on the tough inner and outer walls of the fortress.
But now, not long after the tough fortress was bombed, a large area has collapsed. What is the point of keeping it?
boom! ! !
At this time, another shell hit a crumbling inner wall of the castle and smashed a small load-bearing stone pillar. Then, the wall and the one or two rooms above the load-bearing pillar were facing that way. The castle hall collapsed, directly overwhelming the elite city defense soldiers who had just been ordered by the duke to go out to fight
""
Up! Lord Duke! "
"There is no need for the enemy to come in, our castle is about to be ruined! It is better than Stormwind City, where we have enough mages, enough artillery and catapults, and various fortifications. There are tens of thousands of enemies. Bing, surely you can't even break through the outer door in front of Heroes Valley!"
"Retreat! Lord Duke, we are not a failure! When our reinforcements arrive, we will kill again!"
After a whole wall and a small castle area collapsed, seeing the Duke's face seemed to be a little moved, not as determined as before, the general once again exhorted loudly.
Such a situation where there is no defense, or even no soldiers to defend, is a dead end for them in Stormwind! Therefore, instead of this, it is better to withdraw troops temporarily and return to defend Stormwind City! When the reinforcements return south, it is time for them to fight back!
boom! ! !
Suddenly, there was another violent buzzing sound. When the two hurriedly looked towards the place of vibration, they were shocked to find that it turned out that another entire surface of the inner and outer walls had been crushed by those outer walls built on the slope. , After a burst of shelling, it collapsed in half. Then, when the dust and smoke gradually dissipated, they even saw the group of cruel ogres, Stranglethorn Vale trolls, and goblins in the distance. , And the massive wolves, are preparing for those cheering and fisting.
Obviously, it will definitely not be too long before the opponent launches a soldier attack next time.
"Ugh"
"Maybe you are right, then, order to retreat from the secret road. Let the refugees and wounded go first, our queen!"
Seeing that the enemy was still bombing and the walls in other directions were a little shaky, Bovar finally recognized the reality. His helplessness and resentment could only be turned into a sigh, and he reluctantly nodded and agreed to the other party's request.
I don’t know how long the bombing took, let alone how many shells were fired. Anyway, when the excited goblins finally became overloaded because of the red barrel of the gun, they even exploded one door, causing multiple goblin gunners to be killed or injured. , Defia Republic’s saturation bombing against the West Spring Fortress finally stopped.
"Wow!!"
"Woohoo!!!"
"Hullah! Hoopah!!!"
At this time, I heard the sound of cannons from the rear gradually ceased, and the smoke and dust of the castle fortress in the distance gradually dispersed. The opponent's castle had completely become dilapidated, and countless walls and outer retaining walls had become a pile of broken pieces. In the slanted brick ruins, you can even see the fallen corpses and the hurriedly running Stormwind soldiers inside, and the countless ogres, trolls, wolves, etc. who watched the bombing in amazement. The monsters all cheered loudly!
They believe that, without the barriers and protection of the walls and walls in the distance, when they rush in, they will definitely be able to teach the iron guys in Stormwind a profound lesson!
"Yes, it should be like this!"
Seeing the effect of the bombardment, a magnificent defensive fortress was blown into this shape in an instant. Vanessa finally knew why her father Edwin Van Cliff would be so persistent in building that armored dreadnought ship. Up.
The ship was full of ferocious muzzles, plus those ultra-long-distance large-caliber cannons. Once it really travels to the sea outside Stormwind and bombards it unscrupulously, she believes that the entire Stormwind City, the half close to the port and the sea, You will definitely fall into the flames, right?
And this is the power of the giant cannon! Although they are not as gorgeous as magic, nor as mysterious as magic, and even less capable of burning the city and boil the sea like magic, as long as there are enough cannons, large enough caliber, and long enough to fight far enough, they may not be much worse than magic!
At this time, the embryonic form of a steel kingdom began to sprout in Vanessa’s heart
Since their Defias Republic does not have the background of Lordaeron, the magic of Quel'Thalas, the elite air force and forging technology of Eagle's Nest Mountain, and the strong individual strength of the Flame Kingdom, then their Defias The Republic, it is necessary to take the route of huge ships, artillery and steel troops, and reduce the effect of personal force to a minimum!
Only in this way can her new country stand tall in this dangerous world of Azeroth! Anyway, what they have now is money, and they are still very rich, right?
"Huh! The forward troops obey the order and attack! Charge me in!!"
"Remember, who can give me the head of Bolvar intact, one thousand bounty coins! When we besiege Stormwind City, I must hang it on the gates of Stormwind City and let those Stormwind City The nobles and kings of China, also feel the pain for me firsthand!"
With Vanessa's wave of hand, the countless monster troops standing next to her cheered loudly, then quickly roared towards the distant Xiquan fortress, and rushed over!
Soon, besides her two teams of hundred-man Defias guards, the ogres, trolls, and wolves all ran away! Of course, further away, there are countless lines of her neatly lined up, wearing red shirts, and holding aloft the banner of golden stone hammer and curved blade with red background.
"Don't try to grab that head with me. It belongs to our troll!"
"Stupid troll, you can't beat us!"
"Hogg also wants those thousand gold coins, you all get out! Whoever grabs me will kill anyone!"
""
Looking at the countless miscellaneous cannon fodder units under her, and watching those wolves, trolls and ogres demanding money and rushing into the dilapidated West Spring Fortress, Vanessa’s mouth showed a trace of pride. smile.
"I suddenly felt that in front of the gate of Stormwind, you should hang your head first."
At this time, an old and permeating voice suddenly rang in Vanessa's ear!
Then, a poisoned sharp blade, without any warning, stuck to Vanessa’s sensitive skin at some point? !
Oops there are assassins? !
Vanessa, who was full of ambition, suddenly flashed this thought when she was clever! However, in this case, with the sharp blade already close to the skin of her neck, she seems to be unable to escape.
Then ~EbookFREE.me~ When Vanessa, who was also an assassin, grabbed her two dark daggers with both hands, the poisoned blade that clung to her neck was stirred so hard.

At the moment when she was about to be headed, Vanessa’s figure suddenly changed in a special way. She went directly from the vicious blade of the opponent’s neck into a strange black smoke, escaping from the opponent’s After the owl's head, he dashed forward, and then quickly appeared in the distance. "Ha! It's really dangerous! Just now, you shouldn't say those nonsense so confidently! Moreover, you can keep me from noticing, and quietly appear behind me, this is really a powerful killer! At this time, Will come to assassinate me, maybe, it's only your MI7 in Stormwind, right? And, if I guess right, you must still be a veteran figure in MI7?" The voice, the slightly rickety body and the superb assassination skills, Vanessa, who was also a killer, did not consciously shed a cold sweat. Just now, it was really too dangerous! If she hadn't been gifted by Annie when she was a child, she had obtained pure shadow energy and transformed into pure shadow form in time and dissipated, she would be dead now! "There is an assassin! Protect the queen!!!" After a stern shout from someone who didn't know it, countless soldiers of the Defias Republic and high-level generals gathered around!
