Within the Beetle Wall, the Qiraji General was consumed by fury!
Seeing his army on the verge of being pushed back, General Rajaxx, whose size was comparable to that of Ammunae, was frantic, incessantly ordering the Qiraji soldiers to continue their charge!
"Ossirian, you go too!"
General Rajaxx directly organized the most powerful Anubisath soldiers into an elite assault force, dispatching them to the front lines to break through the enemy lines!
Ossirian was the leader of the Anubisath. Thousands of years ago, he was the one who hurled the obsidian weapon, shooting down the Dragonflight's general, Galakrond.
The Anubisath were intellectually inferior, but the bodies of these enormous warriors were made of obsidian. Although gunpowder, a type of firearm, hadn't appeared during the War of the Shifting Sands thousands of years ago, General Rajaxx had witnessed fire magic. The Anubisath, with their bodies as sturdy as fine steel, should be able to withstand those strange flames!
Subsequently, these wolf-headed, human-bodied Anubisath, wielding heavy obsidian weapons, marched out of the Beetle City under the leadership of Ossirian.
General Rajaxx's gamble paid off. Although the power of the cannons was immense, they indeed had difficulty harming the Anubisath's sturdy bodies.
Galen, from his high platform, saw the shells strike the Anubisath's bodies, leaving only shallow marks.
These Titan creations were indeed resistant to damage.
Soon, Hesso, through his telescope, also discovered that ordinary shells couldn't harm those behemoths. Thus, following the Highlord's plan, he changed the primary target to the giant beetles!
War is sometimes like two chess players facing off on a chessboard. The Qiraji had played their trump card, the advanced Anubisath, so Galen had to play his pieces as well!
Galen left the high platform and teleported to Southwind Village.
Subsequently, four airships in Southwind Village ascended, flying south. Accompanying the airships were gryphon riders, hippogryph riders, and a large number of flying machines!
On the ground, with the Anubisath's breakthrough, the Qiraji ground forces quickly clashed with the vanguard of the allied army.
The seemingly endless tide of insects surged forth, 衝擊聯軍的陣營.
All three legions of the Crusade were high-level troop types after job advancement. The Quilboar were also excellent heavy infantry. The night elves' bear druids and saber druids, although not as strong as the human troop types after job advancement, had the advantage of being enormous.
The shield wall formed by the allied elite infantry was like a sturdy reef, firmly withstanding the onrushing tide of insects.
On the western battlefield, Fandral, Hamuul, Vastan, and Laleh Firespear formed a spearhead, transforming into armored brown bears, thorn-entwined giant boars, and ferocious giant wolves, leading the war druids and worgen army to continuously slay the Qiraji.
On the eastern side, human infantry and Quilboar, wielding heavy shields, firmly withstood the Qiraji's sharp mouthparts and sharp forelimbs, providing a good output environment for the hunters and mages in the rear.
Khadgar, leading the mages in the rear, summoned blizzards and flame storms that directly slammed into the insect ranks, covering most of the sky with white frost, coupled with the scorching flames erupting from the yellow sand on the ground, allowing the Qiraji to experience the mage world's extremes of ice and fire.
However, the number of Qiraji was simply too great. Close combat best reflected the cruelty of war. Green fluids splattered from the insects, and red blood sprayed from the allied soldiers, changing the color of Silithus's yellow sand.
Especially those enormous Anubisath. Every time they swung the obsidian warhammer in their hands, a large number of allied soldiers would be sent flying. Under such tremendous force, even if these soldiers didn't die on the spot, they would lose their ability to fight!
In the sky, Galen, on the Skyfire, watched the intense and tragic battle lines below and calmly issued new orders.
"Armored tanks in the center, break through from the front, have them switch to armor-piercing rounds and take out the Anubisath's legs!"
"First Knightly Order, Templar Knightly Order, Durotar Hog Riders, Swift Raptor Knightly Order, Tauren Heavy Knightly Order, Sunwalker Unit, Huntresses, and Centaur army, pierce through the Qiraji formation from the flanks!"
"Release the flying machines, cover our four airships, don't let the Qiraji air force get close to us!"
As Galen issued one order after another, the tank phalanx moved out, using their heavy armor to smash through the Qiraji formation, forcibly carving out a path in the middle of the insect sea.
Two groups of knights charged in from the left and right flanks of the Qiraji!
The Crusade's cavalry, led by the Tauren Sunwalkers and heavy Kodo Beast knights forming a sharp spearhead, the paladins of the Templar Knightly Order granted the entire knights with Crusade Aura as support, with the Quilboar riders and Swift Raptor riders as the flanks, fiercely crushing all the insects they encountered!
The night elves, although not as fierce as the Crusade, had a greater number!
Fifty thousand centaur warriors, under the leadership of Dezpa Khan of the Ko'kar Clan, Jane Khan of the Magraam Clan, Shaka Khan of the Gelkis Clan, and Hrulda Khan of the Magram Clan, four Khans with legendary strength, overturned the low-level Qiraji in front of them with absolute strength.
In the center of the centaur army, the centaurs of the Galak Clan, under the organization of their Great Shaman Urakshi the Earthcaller, connected the entire centaur with life chains, assisting the entire charge formation!
After a period of fighting, the two knightly groups successfully joined forces in the center of the Qiraji, directly splitting the Qiraji into two parts!
At this time, the steam tanks had also arrived!
"Armor-piercing rounds!"
"Fire!"
The first armor-piercing round hit an Anubisath's shoulder!
Boom!
In the violent explosion, this Anubisath's right arm splattered into a sky full of black gravel in the explosion, and then the entire arm fell off.
"Which short-sighted idiot! The Highlord said to attack their lower body, to make them lose their ability to move!"
The Anubisath were early Titan creations, and they were also one of the few groups of obsidian giants that could autonomously resist flesh and blood, so they still retained most of their ancient characteristics.
That is, they have not evolved higher intelligence, so even if they are completely corrupted by the Old Gods, they can be restored to their original consciousness through rebooting.
Of course, Galen did not have the ability to reboot dozens of Anubisath giants on the battlefield, so he could only beat them half to death, and then send them to Ulduar, so that Mimiron and Algalon could use the Will of the Forge to restart this group of ancient Titan creations, and then repair their bodies.
As the tank legions re-aimed their targets, the Anubisath were one by one had their limbs broken, falling to the sand and unable to move!
In the sky, the gryphon knights of the Wings of Freedom and the hippogryph knights of the Wings of the Void were already clashing with Anubisath's flying insects. The intensity of the aerial battle was no less than that of the ground forces. Lightning from the Storm Hammer and arrows flew everywhere, and the corpses of flying insects and knights fell from the sky continuously.
After the Anubisath were suppressed by the tank legion, the warships in the sky could finally move. Previously, the airships did not dare to lower their altitude, fearing that a thrown obsidian greatsword would pierce their hearts.
"Continue forward, cross the Scarab Wall, and drop bombs to bombard the ground!"
The bottom holds of the Skyfire, Shatterer, Fortune, and Treasure opened a gap.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Tons upon tons of bombs poured down from the gap, clearing a blank area on the battlefield in a short period of time.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
The interior of Ahn'Qiraj turned into a sea of fire once again. At the same time, with the movement of the four aerial warships, the bombs blocked the insectoids rushing out of Ahn'Qiraj.
Fandal and Khadgar's eyes lit up. They understood Galen's intention!
Taking advantage of the fact that the subsequent reinforcements of insectoids had not arrived in time, they directly launched a full-scale attack!
"Warriors! For Azeroth, charge!"
Under the tacit cooperation of the two commanders, the two military formations in the east and west advanced rapidly under the cover of artillery fire from the rear, and the insectoid's line was constantly being eroded!
After several rounds of magic and artillery bombardment, the seemingly endless army of insectoids gradually became sparse.
In the end, most of the insectoids outside the ruins of Ahn'Qiraj were annihilated. The remaining insectoids and Anubisath retreated step by step, and the Alliance seized the entrance to the city wall and entered Ahn'Qiraj in one fell swoop.
At this time, the Alliance had completed the first step of their plan: to enter the interior of Ahn'Qiraj!
The surface area of Ahn'Qiraj was once the capital of the Qiraji insectoids, but now what met the eyes of the Alliance was a scene of ruins.
During the first War of the Shifting Sands thousands of years ago, the night elves and dragons fought fiercely in this place, destroying most of the buildings on the surface, making this place the ruins of Ahn'Qiraj.
Over the millennia, the Qiraji insectoids seemed to have no intention of repairing their capital, but Galen knew that the insectoids had only abandoned the surface and chose to excavate their new capital underground.
Inside the ruins, the insectoids, under the command of the Qiraji insectoid general Rajaxx in black helmet and black armor, began to shrink their defense, relying on the narrow platform entrance to resist the Alliance's attack.
For this reason, General Rajaxx gathered Krystallus, the giant sandworm guarding the periphery, Gluth, the devourer, Ayamiss the Hunter, who could fly, and the two leaders of the obsidian destroyers, Moam, and Ossirian the Unscarred!
The Twin Emperors of the Qiraji insectoids were already furious in the new underground city. They were very dissatisfied with Rajaxx's performance for allowing the Alliance to invade the old capital city of the Ruins of Ahn'Qiraj!
If he failed again, death would await him!
For his own life, General Rajaxx used his cunning nature to command the insectoid army to engage in fierce battles with the Alliance's ground forces on the General's Platform, and the battle situation fell into a stalemate for a time, with no clear winner.
Galen, who was on the aerial warship, saw that the insectoids were holding on to the narrow terrain and understood that it would be difficult for the Alliance to advance again for a while!
This was already inside Ahn'Qiraj, beyond the artillery range of Blacksoot. It would take at least half a day to wait for the artillery to move!
Time was running out, and the battlefield below was consuming the Alliance's forces like a meat grinder. Even with battlefield priests and druids, huge casualties were inevitable.
The Qiraji insectoids only needed biological energy to reproduce. The Qiraji insectoids had been developing wretchedly in the Scarab Wall for more than a thousand years, while Galen's base had only been around for more than ten years. He couldn't compete with them in terms of attrition.
"Anachronos, send the signal, the time for the Dragonflights to appear has come!"
"Roar!"
The Bronze Dragon Prince let out a huge roar, then transformed into a dragon form and flew into the sky. Then, dozens of large portals opened around him, and the dragons flew out of the portals in an orderly manner!
Red Dragon!
Green Dragon!
Blue Dragon!
Bronze Dragon!
Except for the Black Dragonflight, which had been removed from the ranks, all four colored dragons of the Wyrmrest Temple were present!
With the Blue Dragonflight in charge, they, who controlled the entire Azerothian ley lines, could open portals at any time and appear anywhere in Azeroth.
This time, it was the new Blue Dragon Aspect, Malygos, who used the energy of the Focusing Iris to teleport the Dragonflight from Northrend to the skies above Ahn'Qiraj in one go.
Except for a few Dragon Aspects who transformed into human form and appeared on Galen's warship, the remaining dragons had already joined the battle!
Vaelastrasz, Pathaleon the Calculator, Ysondre, the Green Dragon Four Generals, Kalecgos, Arygos, Chromie!
These leading figures of the Guardian Dragons led the dragon army out of the portals in an orderly manner and joined the battlefield.
Originally, the gryphon knights and hippogryph knights were at a disadvantage in the air battle due to their numbers. With the participation of the four colored dragons, the stalemate on the battlefield was broken!
The red fire of life, the blue arcane breath, the green power of nature, the bronze power of time sand, the breath of the four colored dragons flickered in the air!
The Qiraji Hive fell from the sky like dumplings, and the Qiraji insectoid air force suffered heavy losses.
General Rajaxx was shocked by this situation and immediately ordered Ayamiss the Hunter, the leader of the Qiraji Hive, and the obsidian destroyers to go to the sky to support!
The obsidian destroyers resembled centaurs in appearance, and they also had a pair of obsidian wings on their backs!
If Galen had to describe it, it would be like the Sagittarius Gold Cloth without the armor!
And Moam was the strongest of the obsidian destroyers. Under his leadership, all the obsidian destroyers ascended to the sky!
In the sky, Ysondre, since the merging of the Spirit of Dreams and the physical body, had almost recovered all of his strength. When he saw the obsidian destroyers ascend to the sky, he became interested!
This former Nightmare Tyrant was corrupted by Hakkar the Soulflayer, corrupted by Xavius, and corrupted by the Old Gods. He could be said to be the vanguard of the evil camp, but he was also a non-chief physique, and various evil wills were used by him to test the law.
Now that he had become Galen's follower, with the firewall created for him by the Heart of Origin, his sanity had shielded most of the invasion of foreign wills.
Ysondre flapped his wings and flew out at top speed. After dodging Moam's attack, he grabbed the body of this obsidian destroyer from behind!
