The night elves' attacks were fierce. Both the arrow rain and the glaive throwers caused significant combat attrition to the Burning Legion. The few demons who managed to reach the front lines were either killed by the strong tauren or crushed by bears and panthers. However, these Burning Legion's doomguards, hellhounds, and imps still charged forward relentlessly. Even if riddled with arrows or torn apart by glaives, their morale remained high! All of this was thanks to the fel energy they wielded!
Fel, a chaotic and disordered energy in the universe. Before the rise of the Burning Legion, no force could claim to be its representative. In the universe, a situation had formed with the shadow power represented by the Void Lords, opposing the order power represented by the Titans and the Light represented by the Naaru. Until one day, Sargeras fell and mastered fel energy, using it to easily defeat the Pantheon and lead countless demons on the Burning Crusade. Sargeras was indeed the founder of the Burning Legion, but the legion's expansion occurred after recruiting the eredar of Argus, growing stronger under Kil'jaeden's schemes. Since Kil'jaeden chose to join Sargeras's Burning Crusade, he never stopped recruiting and corrupting new members. If they didn't have some cannon fodder races at the bottom, how could dreadlords and abyss lords be commanders without soldiers? If they didn't corrupt and recruit engineers, where would the legion get the talent to build fel cannons and spaceships? So, the later additions to the legion, such as the mo'arg engineers, doomguards, sayaad succubi, six-armed annihilan, aranasi spider demons, brood mothers, and eye tyrants, all became evil, mad, and filled with a desire for destruction after using fel! Mere casualties could not stop their advance!
The battle was fierce. Even Kaz'rogal and Azgalor, who were in charge of commanding, personally joined the fray. As a result, the doom lord Kaz'rogal was shot through the heart by Sentinel General Shandris, while the abyss lord Azgalor, with his big butt, fled in panic under the joint attack of the tauren chieftains, Cairne and Ulan! In the end, Archimonde couldn't stand it anymore and personally cast a spell. A powerful wave of fel energy directly split the second line of defense in two, causing heavy losses to the night elves! With a big shot intervening, Azgalor felt confident again. Subsequently, the Burning Legion launched another full-scale attack! The tide of demons swept over again, but the trenches and outposts had been destroyed by Archimonde, losing most of their offensive capabilities. The warriors in the second line of defense could only engage in melee combat with the demons! The bear druids and tauren warriors once again held the line, with the night elf and tauren balance druids and the priestesses of Elune providing support from the rear!
The feigned weakness of the first line of defense was to conserve more power to close the Ashenvale portal and seal the mouth of Mount Hyjal, while the purpose of the second line of defense was to delay time! The commanders of the Kalimdor alliance all knew that the night elves had prepared a big move on the mountaintop, just waiting for Archimonde to take the bait and give him a hard blow!
Shandris looked up at the mountaintop. A thick fog blocked her view. She didn't know how her mentor Tyrande and High Priestess Malfurion were preparing, but before the signal to retreat came, they had to hold back the Burning Legion! Thinking of the power with which Archimonde had destroyed the defensive offensive just now, Shandris felt a tremor in her heart. Too strong! She had also seen the image of this great demon destroying Suramar, but that was after all through a screen, and just now Archimonde had truly evoked Shandris's nightmare sealed for ten thousand years! At this moment, how much she wished Galen Wyrmbane was still by her side! It is a pity that Shandris also knew that Galen Wyrmbane was also on the top of the mountain at this time, making the final arrangements. She could only rely on herself and her comrades!
"Release!" Shandris released the arrow in her hand, the clear and cold syllables spitting out from her mouth.
"Swish…"
"Swish…"
"Swish…" The archers of the sentinel troops behind her also released the bowstrings in their hands. In the next second, tens of thousands of sharp arrows streaked across the sky and shot into the demon tide, instantly clearing a large area! Soon, the gap was filled by the demons rushing up from behind. Shandris launched another arrow rain. After repeating this three times, the purpose of delaying was achieved. A shadow appeared behind her, and a group of tall treants finally came up! Ancient Protectors! After the defensive fortifications of the position were destroyed, the druids began to communicate with them for support, but they moved slowly and only now arrived on the battlefield! I saw the treant casually grab the stones on the ground and throw them at the demon army. The boulders came from the wreckage of the outposts, and they fell heavily on the heads of the demons who were still charging, creating obstacles for their attack.
Soon, the demons rushed up! Cairne tightened the rune spear in his hand, and the tauren chieftain Ulan beside him also grasped the Eagle Spear! This artifact, which the Highmountain tribe had lost for a long time, was finally found back by Huln himself, but he gave up the right to use the Eagle Spear and handed it over to his descendants.
"All warriors of Azeroth, prepare to engage!"
"Roar!" A battle cry resounded through the valley! Then the melee began, with bears, panthers, tauren, and demons fighting together! The tauren, as the race in Azeroth most suitable to be warriors, their strong physique even surpassed ordinary doomguards. As soon as they came into contact, a large number of low-level demons were knocked away by shields and totems, their bones broken! The Burning Legion's offensive was actually contained!
The abyss lord was a little upset, and with a wave of the double-headed halberd in his hand, the batwing batallion were dispatched! Looking at the demons flying in the sky, Ulan shouted: "Warriors of Skyhorn, let the hippogryph riders meet the enemy!" Shandris also issued an order for some of the sentinel sisters to go to the rear and ride hippogryphs into the air to kill demon bats! The battle instantly entered a stalemate! The fierceness of the fighting between the two sides far exceeded everyone's imagination. In almost every corner of the battlefield, in the sky and on the ground, blood was spurting every moment, one side to protect, and the other side only to destroy!
"Cairne!" Ulan's Eagle Spear swept across, cutting a large number of doomguards in half.
"Hmm?" Cairne also wielded his spear, and a tall doomguard was stabbed through by him! Cairne and Ulan, the two chieftains, cleared the demons around them while talking, and then cooperated to expand the results!
Ulan glanced at Baine Bloodhoof, who was gritting his teeth and killing enemies not far away. "Your little calf is a good warrior!" Ulan once again beheaded a succubus who was trying to sneak attack, and said: "I have a daughter, a few years younger than Baine!"
"Hoo!" A puff of white smoke spewed out of Cairne's bull nose, and a blood-colored aura of anger permeated his body. "What do you want to say? Ulan?" Cairne's eyes were bloodshot, and he had no time to consider the meaning of Ulan's words!
"I mean…"
"Hoo… wait until the war is over!"
"Ha!"
"Let's get married!"
"Huh?!"
"Hoo! Baine! Your son and my daughter Mayla!"
"I agree!!"
