Chapter 438: The First Defense of Quel'Thalas (VI)

"Cooperation? Why should I cooperate with you?"

Arthas laughed: "Lord Richard, have you forgotten about Lordaeron? Without your help, Lordaeron would not have fallen so quickly. The Scourge is your friend, why bother with these humans and elves?"

Richard yawned and squinted at Arthas: "Arthas, everyone here is my people, your little tricks are useless."

Arthas's expression turned cold, and there was indeed no movement on the city wall. He walked back holding the reins and said: "I will turn all of you into my slaves, I want your promise."

"Qi, I'll wait and see."

Richard glanced at Alexstrasza, and the Red Dragon Queen immediately took off. As soon as Arthas returned to his position, he launched an attack, and the tactics were exactly the same as last time. The cannon fodder was in front, the meat grinder was advancing, the gargoyles broke through, and this time the area was wide, and the carp were fighting in large groups. The dark clouds of the Sea of ​​​​Death were pressing down on the city, and the front battlefield fell into danger as soon as the battle began.

"Air assault!"

Richard gave an order, and Alexstrasza led his people to the meat grinder under the cover of countless small creatures.

Including Alexstrasza, every dragon had a big bag on its claws, and in it was the new gadget that Primathis and others had been rushing to make in the past few days. A new type of explosive, filled with a large amount of red phosphorus, a large amount of strong oxidizers, and a large amount of flammable materials. The force of the impact is used to trigger a chemical reaction and then produce an explosion, igniting the flammable materials to cause a large area of ​​combustion.

This principle means that even if the bag is broken by the attack of the gargoyle, it will not explode prematurely, and high-altitude throwing can also avoid being caught by the nerub spiders on the ground.

The attack power of the gargoyle is not as good as that of the dragon. When it encounters a huge creature like Alexstrasza, it can eat one and a half in one bite, not to mention the obstruction of other aerial creatures. The red dragon easily threw its bomb on top of the meat grinder.

"A new thing?" Arthas looked back and waved Frostmourne. Immediately, countless undead creatures crawled on it.

"Here!"

Selena nodded towards the meat grinder. Richard looked over and smiled: "Isolating the air to extinguish the fire, Alsas reacted quickly, but our goal has been achieved. They can't throw those annoying things at us for a while. Continue the attack, the air raid can't stop!"

"Yes!"

Richard glanced at Whitemine, who was almost blood-thirsty with a gun. After passing the Holy Light entrance examination, the little girl successfully obtained the qualification to snipe the enemy in the middle. Whitemine has been practicing the Holy Light gun technique intensively during the day these days. I heard from Primathis that the little girl is very talented. In fact, it is true. More than twenty undead have died in her hands. Her hatred for the undead is extremely deep. Think about it, her whole family died because of the undead. Anyone who has the ability will want revenge.

For Arthas, the damage caused by Whitemine and other gunmen can be said to be negligible. There is no shortage of corpses in the land of the Eastern Kingdom. If these thousands of corpses fall, there will be tens of thousands of corpses standing up. The only thing that troubles Arthas is the difficulty of climbing the wall. The city gate is blocked by huge rocks and cannot be broken open. The city wall is full of spikes tempered by holy light. Any undead creature who climbs up there will be torn skin and flesh, and his hands and feet will be broken. Wanting to climb up is simply a dream. All Arthas could do was to rely on the lives of the undead to fill the gap. He gradually tainted the holy light.

Arthas pulled the reins, walked back and forth, thinking about new ways to take down their fortress. The first fortress of Quel'Thalas fell in less than three hours, causing Arthas to let his guard down. There were no obstacles along the way and the only way Quel'Thalas could delay the enemy was to break the bridge. As a result, Arthas did not think of any new methods. Unexpectedly, the enemy used new weapons, which made the meat grinder attack that had done a great job last time almost paralyzed. Although there were many in the air, they could not gain any advantage. The newly built catapults were even more fragile. There was no need for dragons to attack. Many of them fell apart after a few attacks. The undead's construction ability was really too poor.

"Retreat."

Kel'Thuzad's voice suddenly rang in Arthas' mind. Arthas glanced at Tichondrius. The Lord of Fear also frowned and thought of a way, not noticing Arthas looking at him.

Arthas asked Kel'Thuzad in his mind: "Why retreat? I still have countless soldiers under my command. This little loss is nothing."

"It's not about how much you lose, but your chances of winning. Right now we have no hope of winning. Whether it's the city wall or the dragon, we can't defeat them. It's not just our side, it's the same all over the place. Look at Richard on the city wall, strolling leisurely, without any pressure at all, he definitely has a back-up plan!"

Alsace glanced at Richard, who could still see a smile on his face. Alsace twitched his lips and continued to ask, "I don't think he has any back-up plan. He's standing there maybe because he has no plan! Otherwise, why did he give up the first fortress so easily? He has played all his cards, now we just need to find a way to crack his arrangements and we can win."

"Haha." Kel'Thuzad laughed twice and then sighed, "Kid, what you said is right, but these methods cannot be thought of in a short time. I have fought with Richard more than you, and I know him better. This person wants to control everything in his own hands. He will not do it so steadily if he is not absolutely sure, so I guess he must have a backup plan."

Alsace thought for a moment and felt that what Kel'Thuzad said made a lot of sense. A series of victories made him feel that the Undead Army was invincible. The power of Kozan Island has been able to run rampant in the Eastern Kingdom for so many years, and the other kingdoms dared not to speak out. Their strength did not come out of thin air, and they should be careful at this time. But should they really retreat as Kel'Thuzad said? Arthas was very unwilling to do so. Retreating would mean admitting defeat, which Arthas was unwilling to accept. More importantly, Kel'Thuzad was now in spirit form, and it was unknown how long he could hold on. The Lord of Fear was monitoring him, and Kel'Thuzad was here to help him, so it was obvious which was more important.

"Oh no! I feel new energy!" Kel'Thuzad shouted nervously. Arthas hurriedly looked around, and Kel'Thuzad's words really came true.
