At the end of the bottomless narrow tunnel, there is a vast hall that has been excavated and hollowed out and covers an area of ??several hundred square meters.
A silent and bloody battle is going on in this unknown underground.
Luo Xia, who lowered his head and walked in, saw the figures of the two fighting parties through the natural blue light of the ice souls, and couldn't help but be startled.
There is no metal sword with intertwined silver gleams, but it cuts out a sword shadow with its limbs. There is no steel shield, but the insect shell that has been deposited by time collides savagely. The green blood is like splashing ink, like a stunt that expands thousands of people. Times video of natural selection. Two torrents of giant insects surged against each other, repeatedly tearing apart the indistinguishable enemies. Both sides slashed in silence and perished in silence.
Are these monsters fighting among themselves?
Before Rorschach could figure out the reason, the teams at the rear saw that there was no ambush in front and couldn't wait to file in. After seeing this tragic scene, they turned their attention to another place that he ignored.
"Captain Falik!" Thassarian's surprised voice sounded, and then echoed in the closed passage.
At the end of his sight, behind where the two insects were fighting, countless wounded people wearing Lordaeron armor were huddled together, barely holding up their swords to build a weak line of defense, and surrounded by them was a rugged and strong man. The man heard a familiar cry in this hellish abyss, with a look of shock on his face.
When Thassarian saw his superior, he instinctively wanted to rush forward, but he only felt a weight on his back and a weight on his body. Looking back, he realized that he was being held by the silent black-haired beauty on the way, and on the other side The mysterious mage shook his head, motioning for him to calm down, and whispered: "What are you doing?"
"Of course it's to save people." The young soldier said this, but his heart sank. Then he remembered that although the young spell caster was peaceful and approachable along the way, most of the spells he used were the necromancy of the Scourge Legion, and that The blue light group that used ice spells to destroy the spider demons was vaguely similar to the undead.
Are you going to fall out? With this thought in his mind, the soldier subconsciously touched his hand to the hilt of the sword at his waist.
Rorschach didn't think so much. He pointed at the insects that were indifferent to the intruding team and still indulged in killing, and joked: "The reason why your companions can survive is because these insects are busy fighting among themselves. If you Breaking in rashly, even if I have returned most of the knowledge in biology class to the teacher, and I also know that nature has a tendency to cooperate with foreign enemies, I have no chance of saving your lives in the hands of so many monsters. "
"What should we do?" Thassarian lowered his head and asked in shame.
Rorschach did not answer, but stared at the chaotic battlefield carefully. After thinking for a moment, he made a move that stunned the team - he instructed his young servant to bend her waist and touch the gap between the two sides. Qian, ventured close to pick up some insect remains, then handed them over to himself, and began to carefully screen and compare them like an archaeologist.
After a while, Luo Xia, who knew what was going on, threw away the freshly rotted corpses in his hand, and suddenly shouted towards the battlefield: "Are the combatants in front of me the survivors of El Zhuo?"
How can a bug understand human speech This is because Azeroth lives in a world where intelligent races are flourishing. The soldiers present also felt that this mage probably went crazy because of too much pressure.
But what surprised them was that among the insect-men who were fighting silently, suddenly there was a significantly larger spider demon like a horse, raising its hooves, using its center of gravity to jump down and cut the enemy into two pieces, and then turned its head. He came to make a "Sisi" sound, and then changed into a strange but clear common language and answered loudly:
"Eldraine has never been destroyed, so how can there be talk of remnants? Mortals, we follow the name of 'Anub'rakhan' and are the guardians of Nibru. We come to kill the rebels. If you are willing, I can give you The glory of sharing the enemy with me!"
The soldiers present looked at each other, and unanimously focused their attention on Rorschach. He was the most powerful among them, and he was the only one who could communicate with the other party. Now we can only see what judgment he makes.
Rorschach's answer was simple. He took a step forward and waved: "Come on, those whose bodies are stinking and rotting are the undead resurrected by the Lich King, and they are also our current common enemy."
After that, he waved the pine staff and released a series of status curses constructed with negative energy, and the ice souls behind him also began to bloom with blue light, absorbing magic power and releasing "Frost Nova" towards the undead insects. . Although the soldiers on the side were a little confused, they could also see from the appearance just now that the living insect-men were at a disadvantage. If they were allowed to die and be resurrected as undead, they would definitely not be able to stop the next wave of death and bite them. Gritting his teeth also joined the fight.
Originally a cold and crazy crypt demon, its hard-as-iron carapace was meaningless under the ice blast spells from the inside out and the swords specially designed to cut the joints. The originally sharp and quick foot knives were slowed down after being cursed with slowness. Turtle crawling, as for the numerical advantage he originally had, it disappeared in front of the hundreds of Lordaeron warriors who rushed up from both sides.
The battle ended quickly.
Because most of the firepower was borne by the nerubunes who claimed to be the guardians of Nibru, the human soldiers suffered few losses, and there were only a few living nerubians who survived, but they did not seem to grieve the injuries of their kind. With his thoughts in mind, he briefly dealt with his own injuries, and then used his claws to pierce through the possibly resurrected corpse, and then turned to face the human allies who were looking at him with twitching eyes and wary eyes.
"Mortals, we should talk" The scarred but arrogant and indifferent insect leader stepped forward and said.
"What are you talking about?" Luo Xia asked with a smile.
"For examplewhy are these rebels deliberately trying to destroy the earth's branches to deal with you?"
A unique exchange begins here.
¡¡
On the way to the surface, Rorschach naturally knew the origin of this insect man:
They are indeed the remaining resistance forces after the Lich King destroyed the Nibru clan, but they are just a scattered team. Because the insect society is different from the complex diversity of humans, it is closer to a one-way pyramid structure like an ant colony. Even if most of the members are killed and resurrected as zombies, as long as the top level is equivalent to the ant queen's "Anu" "Brekan" will not die, and even if there is not even a single soldier left, the entire group will not trigger a spontaneous decline, but will revive again as time goes by.
However, although the defeated army has to quietly accumulate strength in the dark, they are not the Zerg compatriots in StarCraft after all. They also know that due to the limit of reproduction and the growth time constraints of the larvae, their own side cannot catch up with the wizard who kills one person and increases the number of soldiers. Demon King. Therefore, they decided to rely on their underground advantage of freedom of movement to eat away at all aspects of the Lich King's corrosive plan, playing a role similar to that of a guerrilla.
"It's a pity that not all troops who dare to fight guerrilla warfare can be like a certain Taizu who raised hundreds of troops to counterattack the world, creating a turbulent red hegemony. According to the "history" known to Rorschach, the unyielding activities of these remaining insect-men finally completely angered the Lich King. After the king who successfully possessed Arthas was free, he first Time itself connected the former insect general "Anub'arak" to kill the last Nerubian Emperor, resurrected him as a guardian of his fortress, and ordered him to fight for him forever.
History, with Rorschach's intervention, takes a slight skew.
If he had not helped the expeditionary force break the city in advance, the black witch's plot to lure you into the urn would have succeeded in another three to four days. The insect stragglers who destroyed the underground engineering would have been wiped out, and even resurrected into a new form. The undead increased the power of the natural disaster. At that time, Arthas faced the tragic situation of a large number of his own troops sinking into the ground, and facing the endless army of cave demons, he had to flee in confusion.
"The power of these seven or eight nerubians is equivalent to a small group of infantry. Even if they survive and join Alsace's expeditionary force, they are still far behind the Lich King. It shouldn't have any impact, right?" When following the passage led by the insect man in front to the surface, Rorschach did not not think of this, but after silently calculating, he felt that there was not much of a problem, but for some reason, he felt a little uneasy in his heart, as if he had overlooked something important. s things.
Just after they ended the underground dispute, the war on the surface was coming to an end.
The one at a disadvantage is the crypt spider demon that collapsed halfway.
This is not surprising. The reason why the underground battle is one-sided is not because the strength of human soldiers is really much worse than that of spider demons. It is just the result of various factors. After all, there are very few warriors who are good at blind fighting in the dark. After falling from a height, no matter whether it is physical or mental, it is impossible to be in an intact state. Faced with inferior goblins in such harsh conditions Kobolds are quite troublesome, let alone bugs that burrow into the ground all year round?
The soldiers on the ground were undoubtedly much luckier. Even though they were surprised by the monster that suddenly jumped out, they immediately reacted and spontaneously formed several positions to resist with the help of the rising firelight around them. After all, the insect-men were dispatched in a hurry, and a large number of them were restrained underground by the guardians. The number was seriously insufficient. As for the other skeletons and necromancers around them, they had long since died. Without the cooperation of other undead, they would not be able to form a corresponding undead army. Facing the experienced veteran team who quickly found their weaknesses, they naturally suppressed them quickly when they were specifically targeting their joints.
What ended the battle was a streak of fire.?Light flame.
Before the giant crypt lord, who wielded his foot knife and slaughtered dozens of expeditionary soldiers, had time to dodge, he was hit in the back by the meteor falling from the sky. His stubborn carapace collapsed without even being able to support it for a second. Immediately afterwards, the huge insect body, three to four meters high, exploded into large pieces of minced meat with a fierce "bang" sound. The stinky corpses scattered everywhere were burned by the attached holy light before they even landed on the ground. ash.
In a cobweb-like crack on the ground where the giant insect was originally located, a silvery-white light jumped up out of the air and turned into a two-handed hammer half as tall as a man in mid-air. It flew towards the ground with a stream of light, and was finally caught by a Strong palms reached out to hold.
The exhausted prince walked out of the half-collapsed dome church. In his other hand, he held half of the skull, but the blue eyes in it were extinguished, and it had completely turned into useless bones and trophies.
"The Lich has been beheaded, and we have won the victory tonight!"
This is the first sentence he has spoken since the surprise attack tonight. The soldiers present were silent for a moment, and then burst into cheers. The shouts of the heat wave sounded like thunder. The firelight shone on the red and fanatical faces, arousing a sense of united will.
At this moment, an untimely cold voice sounded.
"Mortal, what you killed was just a humble insect under the command of the Lich King. The enemy's true dark power is far from coming."
Hearing this, Alsace raised his head, narrowed his eyes, and looked at the figure walking in the distance. On the side, there was a sound of weapons being drawn out, and the battle-hardened human soldiers spontaneously formed a group, waiting for the approaching insect shadow, silently waiting for the prince's command to attack, but the next second, they suddenly He made a sound of surprise and astonishment.
"Captain Thassarian?"
"That's Allen? But how is it possible? I saw him fall into the damn abyss with my own eyes!"
Arthas's sight looked further. He ignored the approaching soldiers and the insect-man team, but focused his attention on a slim and mysterious woman behind him, and the figure under the robe she was protecting. superior. After pondering for a moment, he took the initiative to greet him.
Although I still have some doubts, there are some things that it is best to confirm in person.
The way to confirm is
Hit it with a hammer!
Under the bright red firelight, the paladin suddenly pressed down the war hammer in his hand. He moved slowly and casually, but the moment the white hammer fell, there was a "bang" sound in the air and scattered air waves. Forced to create layers of ripples, letting the white smoothness fall like a meteor.
¡°Clang¡ª¡ªCrack¡ª¡ªClang¡ª¡ª¡±
At the first echo, the long-handled two-handed hammer burning with holy light blocked the black-haired beauty's sword, and continued with an indestructible force.
The second sound came from the ice soul that rushed towards it. The frozen armor covering its whole body collapsed with a hammer blow, causing large cracks to crack. The surging ice magic power shrank sharply, and it only had time to howl. With a sound, it was suppressed by the vast and endless holy light and disappeared without a trace.
However, this moment of slowness made Rorschach's hair stand on end. He instinctively summoned the possession spirit in his heart. The combat experience derived from the heroic spirits of hundreds of battles immediately took over his body, and he made a series of responses in the blink of an eye. action. He suddenly drew out his sharp sword, jumped back, flew into the air and blocked with his backhand sword, the hammer and sword met, and a "clang, clang" sound sounded like a continuous slapping sound like the ocean tide.
A "huh" sound suddenly sounded in Luo Xia's ears. He had no choice but to bear the heavy hammer head-on, but he felt that what was coming was just a latent force, followed by thousands of milky-white warm currents pouring in. His body caused him to retreat backwards uncontrollably. But every time he took a step back, a halo of silver flames rose up around him. When he took the seventh step, a sad and gloomy roar suddenly sounded from his bandaged shoulder, and only a light green phantom that looked like a wolf or a badger could be seen. It popped out and struggled towards him, but was burned to ashes by the scorching holy light in the blink of an eye.
Only then did Luo Xia realize that he had been tricked without realizing it. He reluctantly used his sword to hold himself up, looked down at the body where the wounds were slowly healing under the spread of the holy flames, and then looked at the prince standing proudly with a complicated look. He looked down with difficulty. Voice:
"Your Highness, thank you very much."
Alsace looked at him with some surprise, nodded and suddenly asked: "The swordsmanship you used just nowwho taught you?"
The Eldraine Nerubians who fled to Northrend are part of the "culture" and "knowledge" of the middle and upper classes of the Ahn'Qiraj Zerg. In other words,They were deserters gathered by a group of poets, intellectuals, and artists who could not stand the dictatorial war-mad leader.
Compared to the fellow killers trapped in Kalimdor, this splinter group of old academics have an innocent and cute character. They have been "homes" in the true sense for thousands of years and are independent from the world. The wisest people in the entire race are Indulging in miscellaneous arts such as "poems" and "songs", they even abandon the rejection of arcane arts. When encountering a battle as a last resort, they rely on the unintelligent soldiers at the bottom to swarm up and rely on their talents to make a living.
It is simply an alien replica of the "Southern Song Dynasty" No wonder it was overturned by an unreasonable villain like the Lich King.
It is said that in the World of Warcraft map, there are some sick Nerubians wandering around the Nerubian Slate in the Lower Kingdom of Nibru all day long, risking being killed by natural disasters, just to collect the complete collection of lost art poems
Although it may not necessarily refer to Chinese history, I think that when Blizzard set this race, it might have considered ancient Greece's encounter with a similar Athens?
