Chapter 426: The First Defense of Quel'Thalas (IV)
"Damn! What is that!"
Sylvanas looked at some heavy vehicles coming out from a distance in shock. Those heavy vehicles were like siege vehicles, constantly throwing unknown objects onto the city walls.
"That's... a meat grinder! What it's throwing is... I can't see clearly!" Richard squinted his eyes and looked at it carefully. The thing thrown was green, black, and white, and it was impossible to see what it was.
Suddenly, an object was thrown next to Richard and the others. With a splash, liquid splashed all over Sylvanas, all green. Richard's eyes widened, and he immediately wrapped Sylvanas' body with holy light and divine power until the green on her body was purified.
"This is the plague! They threw up corpses!"
In a flash, several soldiers were infected and turned into undead creatures.
"Damn it!" Richard cursed and hurriedly shouted to the people below, "Selena! Where's Selena! Bring your people up quickly!"
The plague must be isolated quickly. These medical soldiers on the city wall are not enough. The third echelon must be sent up in advance.
"What should we do?" Sylvanas looked at Richard. Richard hesitated for a moment and immediately said, "Execute the second plan!"
The first plan is the three-group rotation plan that Richard and his team are currently executing. The second plan is a plan prepared to deal with irreversible emergencies. In this plan, the fortress will be abandoned, but it is not given to them for nothing. Every room and every road of the fortress will be buried with countless explosives, enough to make the enemy drink a pot of it.
Now it is difficult to stop the meat grinder's projectiles from the fortress. The number of dragons is too small to break through the gargoyle's blockade to destroy the meat grinder. Moreover, although Selena and others have support on the city wall, the source of the plague spreads too fast, and they can't organize the spread of the plague by themselves.
"Report! All preparations are completed!"
Richard led the second echelon to hold on for more than an hour, and the city wall was already in danger. Fortunately, the engineering corps and the elves successfully completed the mission before the city wall was destroyed.
"Retreat! All troops retreat!" Orange flares were fired into the sky, and in an instant, there was no Allied soldier on the city wall.
This time, Richard equipped all the soldiers with newly developed flash furnaces. These one-time flash furnaces will take them to the vicinity of Sylvanas Fortress. There they will eliminate all the plague and undead.
Without resistance, the undead easily climbed up the city wall. The ghouls and abominations dug inside and outside for an hour before they dug open the city wall. Arthas walked to the vicinity of the cave entrance, and the voice surged with a dark tide: "The Elven Gate has fallen! Forward, my warriors! Forward to victory!"
Arthas led the vanguard into the fortress. The fortress was very quiet, without a single living creature.
"Qi!" Arthas said nothing, followed the Dadao out of the fortress and headed north. The central army became a meat grinder. In this battle, Arthas discovered the importance of the meat grinder, which must be placed in the middle and protected.
All the meat grinders entered the fortress. There were still two people in the sky who did not follow Richard and the others to the Sylvanas Fortress. These two were Onyxia and Fina. They were hiding in the clouds, waiting for the Undead Legion. They were waiting for this moment!
"All the meat grinders have entered the fortress, right..." Fina confirmed. Indeed, all the meat grinders had entered the fortress. Fina immediately pressed the button, and Onyxia immediately climbed high and flew away.
The fortress turned into powder in an instant. There were explosives of considerable quality buried underground in every street and every house. For a moment, the ground shook violently, and the steep mountains on both sides dropped rocks. Before long, this place became a ruin. According to a rough estimate, at least 10,000 undead units were destroyed, and not a single meat grinder was left, not even a residue. The explosives in the fortress were mixed with kerosene, and there were fires burning everywhere in the ruins. Most of the sources of the plague were also burned.
Alsace frowned. When he passed by here just now, there was no sign of an explosion. He didn't expect them to wait so long. Just for the meat grinder. But if the meat grinder is gone, will he stop? How naive! Just build some meat grinders when we get there. Arthas did not stop, and the following troops just passed through the fire. No one felt sorry for the unfortunate ones.
Wherever the undead army stepped, the land became charred and desolate. Worse is yet to come. Sylvanas was riding a dragon to conduct reconnaissance. She still remembered the forest burned by orcs and knew that nature would eventually give it a new life. But this was a terrible black line of death. The evil force that drove the corpses forward also killed the land they passed through. Poison, they are like poison, this is the dirtiest black magic. The land has no way to regain life by its own power. They must be stopped!
Sylvanas flew back to Sylvanas Fortress holding the reins of the dragon, and said to herself firmly in her heart: We must defeat them here!
Sylvanas did not stop at all after landing, and went straight to the meeting room. Richard and the others were waiting for her reconnaissance report.
"Alsas and his men are marching here. We have destroyed all the bridges leading here. It will take at least a week to get here."
Richard nodded and began to arrange the defense tasks: "The Sylvanas Fortress defense line runs through the entire Quel'Thalas. Apart from the ocean, the enemy will not have another way to rush to Silvermoon City. The importance of this defense line does not need me to repeat. This defense line is too long and the enemy has many attack points. We will divide the defense line into three sections. Sylvanas, Alleria, and Onyxia are responsible for the western section; Loki, Primatis, and Krasus are responsible for the eastern section. I will be in charge of the interruption myself, and Selena and the Red Dragon Queen will assist me."
"Understood!"
After the fortress defense battle ended, Richard immediately sent reinforcements. The main force was the air force. A large number of various types of aerial creatures, including Alexstrasza, were sent to the battlefield. Although the number was not as large as that of the undead creatures, it was also a ratio of one to three. Among them, the dragons were the main combat force, and the remaining creatures such as the eagle-man played a supporting role. In order to deal with the threat of the meat grinder, Primatis's pharmacy team developed new toys overnight and prepared to teach Arthas a vivid lesson.
"Everyone go!"
"Yes!"
Sylvanas looked at Richard. She also wanted to block the enemy in the middle, but he still understood the principle of putting the overall situation first. She nodded at him, but turned and left.
