The Burning Legion's high-ranking commanders, like Anetheron, looked down upon the Scourge and even the Lich King. In their eyes, they were nothing more than a group of dirty cannon fodder reeking of corpses. The dreadlords responsible for monitoring the Lich King and the Scourge had long discovered Ner'zhul and his subordinates' little schemes, realizing they might harbor betrayal. Unfortunately, their leader at the time, Tichondrius, still believed everything was under their control.
Regrettably, things later became very strange. Several dreadlords responsible for monitoring disappeared one by one, first Varimathras, followed by Mal'Ganis. Detheroc impersonated Mal'Ganis for the Lich King's plan and was killed by Arthas. His soul had already returned to the Twisting Nether, but Varimathras and Mal'Ganis had vanished without a trace. Only Archimonde's arrival suppressed all unease, and Anetheron could only focus on commanding the army. But not long ago, their leader Tichondrius had also disappeared!
Archimonde could carelessly disregard their lives and even call them trash, but Anetheron couldn't! A shadow loomed over his heart. He always felt that a force was secretly targeting them! He had suspected the Lich King, but he didn't believe they had the ability to deal with the demigod Tichondrius! Ragglesnout's death was a great shock to him. He was furious because Ragglesnout was a pawn they had painstakingly won over to divide the Scourge!
In his rage, Anetheron directly and recklessly issued the order to attack! Hordes of felhounds howled and roared, surging towards the first line of defense like a tidal wave. Compared to the undead's slow-moving ghouls, the felhounds' running speed was undoubtedly much faster, and the effectiveness of the artillery blockade instantly decreased significantly. Soon, frontline quillboar warriors were pounced on and had their throats bitten out by the frenzied felhounds. Immediately afterward, towering doomguards also joined the charge, assaulting the defense line! Every second, several quillboar were sacrificed. The kobolds' hands on the triggers also began to tremble. Derek knew that the limit of the servant army was approaching.
"Varian! Take the Seventh Legion and replace the quillboar's defense line. The demons are getting serious. The quillboar are no match for them. Let them retreat!" Derek commanded decisively.
"Daelin! Have the Kul Tiran guards ready to replace Varian and his men at any time!"
With Varian's addition, the defense line stabilized again. Anetheron felt a burst of annoyance in his heart; those cannons were really too annoying. "Aren't the eredar warlocks ready yet?" The dreadlord suppressed the anger in his heart. If it weren't because those warlocks were Archimonde's kin, he would have punished them long ago.
"Almost ready, Lord!" a subordinate replied.
Soon, countless meteor showers streaked across the sky, crashing into the first line of defense with explosive force. A large number of arrow towers, artillery platforms, and arcane towers were impacted and collapsed directly. These meteor showers also contained many infernals, which directly destroyed the first trench! Derek had no choice but to retreat to the second trench! However, the second trench was far from the main road, built in a valley. They directly gave way to the mountain road. Then, Anetheron immediately sent out a large number of dreadbats to harass the retreating army. For a time, the fierce offensive suppressed Derek and his men in the valley.
"Lord Archimonde, the first passage has been opened, but Ragglesnout has been assassinated!" Anetheron reported telepathically.
"Don't bother about those dead bones. They are just Kil'jaeden's playthings, not worthy of attention. You stay behind and continue to suppress those mortals!" Archimonde replied dismissively. He looked up at the towering peak of Mount Hyjal, grinding his teeth. Damn it, Azeroth's suppression of him was too strong. Now he only had the strength of a demigod at its peak, and he had to obediently climb from the mountain road of Mount Hyjal. However, as long as he absorbed the energy of the World Tree, he would be able to break through the suppression of Azeroth's great barrier. At that time, destroying this world would be as easy as flipping his hand! "I will take Kazzak and Azgalor to continue forward. You guard the rear portal to ensure the legion's soldiers can climb the mountain!" Archimonde left. He didn't know that many eyes in the Kalimdor Allied Forces were watching his movements!
The tenacious resistance of the first line of defense was to give Archimonde the impression that the creatures of Azeroth would rather die than surrender. When he arrived at the second line of defense and was held back by the night elves' main force, the Alliance army would launch a full-scale attack, defeat Anetheron's rear base camp, cut off all demon reinforcements, and surround Archimonde to death on Mount Hyjal!
At night, Archimonde had arrived at the second line of defense! This line of defense, which was guarded by the night elf army, was also full of white sentry posts. However, Galen Wyrmbane did not dare to upgrade them, so there was only one glaive thrower in the top platform of the sentry post! In addition to the glaive thrower, there were also a large number of huntresses riding nightsabers in the defense line. The moon glaives in their hands reflected a cold light. In the open space further back, archer formations were waiting for orders. The leather armor on their bodies only covered the key parts, and large areas of violet skin were exposed, creating a unique charm. In addition to the night elf sentinels, many night elf druids were also hidden in the front row of the position. They transformed into giant bears and cheetahs, and a small number of druids transformed into large boars. These were druids from Eldre'Thalas. A part of them followed the sentinels; they were druids who majored in balance magic.
But the druids were not the frontmost. Standing in the front were the Highmountain tauren with elk antlers and the Mulgore tauren with pointed horns. Among them were totem warriors carrying thick totem poles, and front-line shield guards holding shields and battle axes. There was also a very special unit, the Sunwalker Legion, wearing golden armor all over!
Soon the Burning Legion launched an attack! Kazzak was a doomguard, and Azgalor was a pit lord, Mannoroth's lieutenant. These two did not seem to have much talent in commanding. They launched a full-scale attack from the start. But Archimonde didn't care. What did the Legion have the most of? Demons, as long as Anetheron behind could ensure the smooth passage of the portal, relying on the massive demon army, he would be able to exhaust these night elves sooner or later!
The rapid sound of bowstrings rang out, and silver arrows like bright moonlight streaked across the sky and fell into the demon army like raindrops. Then the glaive thrower also fired a huge moon glaive! The moon glaive flew out quickly, directly cutting off the demons in a line at the waist, leaving a pile of corpses!
