Azeroth has no trolls

Chapter 134 The Line of Defense of the Crisis

The back of Akunda, the line of defense that protects the southern border of the kingdom, is once again facing an attack from the Yaqi Empire; it's just that the Zandalari warriors guarding here are not fully prepared this time.

"All soldiers go to the front line! You must hold the line of defense. What are the rest of the auxiliary soldiers doing here?! Get back!"

An Overseer rides through the camp on a velociraptor, and chaos ensues as the swarm arrives.

Arthas was wearing leather locks and mixed armor with a group of priests, and his job was to treat the wounded.

"Boy, you retreat with the auxiliary troops."

Morag, a gentle female troll priest, is also one of the instructors responsible for leading Arthas to learn healing.

"Priest Morag, what about you?"

Alsace noticed that the remaining healing priests were all trolls, and those non-troll aliens were all arranged to retreat.

"Here cannot do without us, the soldiers in front need us to provide treatment."

Morag quickly explained to Alsace while tidying up a series of healing tools on the table in front of him.

"I want to stay too."

Arthas took a deep breath after hearing Morag's words.

"What can you do when you stay? Make trouble? Go!"

Morag's tone became unusually heavy, and she still had a good impression of this foreign child after being in contact with him for so long.

Therefore, she did not want the child to die in this war.

"I can heal the wounded, and I can fight!"

Arthas looked at this troll priestess who was much taller than himself. He didn't like this kind of scene where he could only watch others fight to protect himself. He felt that he should not be a protected one.

He can also be a guardian.

Snapped!
Morag slapped Arthas across the face.

"I don't have time to mess around with you, Arthas Menethil! This place is already very dangerous. The reason why we are desperately defending this place is not only for an illusory kingdom, but more importantly, for everyone living together in the kingdom. The people in here!"

After Morag finished the beating, she obviously felt a little regretful, but she still watched Alsace forcefully as he finished the last sentence.

Feeling the pain on his face, Arthas sat slumped on the ground, watching the back of Morag, the troll priestess, leaving.

Holy Light, please, protect these warriors who are fighting for this world!

The same scene happened to Thrall and Jaina.

"Thrall, retreat with those auxiliary soldiers, just teach us here. If this place falls, Zuldazar City may still need your strength. I hope that at that time, you can protect what we hope guarded world."

After saying goodbye to Thrall, the priest of Torcali put the metal pocket under his arm on his head, and left here with a spear in one hand and a tower shield in the other.

Bwonsamdi also chased Jaina away, and in his words, Mueh'zala didn't like little girl's souls.

In this way, the three teenagers from the future gathered together again in the evacuated army after being separated for almost a month and a half.

The joy of the reunion of the three could not dilute the parting of life and death they had just faced with the teacher who taught them.

"I also want to go to the front line."

The wound on Alsace's face has been healed by himself with the holy light. Although he borrowed Rezan's power, he can still control this power.

"I think so too, but we obviously can't speak out in this situation."

Thrall was also very frustrated. During this month and a half, he respected the troll instructor who taught him the power of elements.

Thrall learned a lot from him, besides the power of survival, there are also many truths about life.

He is a wise priest.

Also a brave troll warrior.

"I am still too weak. If I can have stronger power."

After hearing Thrall's words, Alsace lowered his head and looked at his hands in confusion. He felt how weak he was at this moment.

"Alsace, you are already very good. Don't be too harsh on yourself."

Jaina walked to Arthas's side, took his hands in both hands, and comforted him.

"Gianna, I'm sorry."

Alsace felt the warmth of the girl's hands, and the guilt in his heart became stronger.

During the one and a half months in the frontline camp, he had already seen how dangerous the world was, and he also vaguely guessed that the biggest difficulty Thrall mentioned was the distance of time rather than the distance of space.

He and Jaina may have gone back in time.

He couldn't remember when the kingdom of Lordaeron or the history of mankind had fought against those horrible bugs.

The past was far more dangerous than he had imagined.

And Jaina came to this dangerous time period because of him.

"It's okay, Arthas. We've been here for so long, you don't have to be here anymore. We'll face it together, right?"

Jaina looked at the frustrated boy with a gentle smile on her face, and the shining light in her bright eyes comforted the boy's confused heart.

After the non-combat auxiliary soldiers were assembled, they began to evacuate, and now only the trolls were left on the entire Akunda's back.

The damage caused by the last battle has not been repaired due to insufficient manpower, and the weapons reserves operating from the rear are far from reaching the safe stock.

The bugs didn't give them enough time to recuperate, and now they can only rely on this broken line of defense to stop them.

The sound of war drums mixed with the low and desolate horns interweaved into a symphony of the kingdom's legion's attack and defense. The flags of all the troops were fluttering in the wind, and the highest legion commander in charge of sitting here now is Gurubashi.

"Supreme legion commander, the urgent news has been passed on. We can only hope that the king's capital will deploy more troops as soon as possible."

The messenger ran in from the command room and reported the current situation after seeing Gurubashi.

"I see, I hope His Majesty and the others will come to support in time this time as always."

Gurubashi nodded with a heavy expression. He has now put all his hopes on Dasa. He hopes that this king who has always led them to victory can lead them to defeat the incoming attack as always this time. enemy.

In a forest to the south of the line of defense, the vanguard army mixed with new-style insectoid warriors was marching fast, and the speed of both sides was nearly three times faster than that of the old-style sub-human army.

It was this speed that made the trolls realize that the bugs had changed after losing a large number of hunter teams that had gone out.

The former main bugs have also been remodeled, and their appearance is more similar to the enlarged version of the new bugman warriors, with larger crowns, in order to more conveniently command the frontline bugs to fight.

The smoke and dust rising from the forest and the vibrations from the ground all heralded the arrival of the swarm.

When most of the bug sea came into the eyes of the troll scouts, they immediately reported the location of the bug to the long-range strike weapon group a little later.

As the launch command was issued, the ready-to-go ballista and trebuchet immediately tilted the ammunition into the sea of ​​insects.

In the tug-of-war between the bugs and the trolls, the Yaqirs had also learned to spread out and charge in skirmish lines, instead of swarming towards the city wall like they did at the beginning.

Such a dispersed formation effectively reduces its own casualties, and at the same time increases the defender's weapon consumption.

But this time, the defensive weapons used by the trolls have quietly changed.

The arrows shot by the ballista exploded after falling into the swarm, and at the same time, the square packages thrown by the trebuchets also exploded after falling into the swarm.

The flames, shock waves, and roars almost made the valley tremble.

These pioneers quickly lost their stability in the face of the shock wave of this explosion. Their light and flexible body brought them faster speed and better flexibility, and also made their defense and weight far inferior to Beetles of the past.

All the trolls on the city wall cheered excitedly as they looked at the position in front of the line of defense that had already been surrounded by a sea of ​​flames.

At this moment, they felt the power of these fantastic new weapons from the academy intuitively.

Very shocking.

There are not many new weapons of this power.

A total of three waves were thrown, and the reserves of explosive packs and explosive arrows were completely gone.

Under the indiscriminate bombardment thrown by the kingdom, the Yaqi bugs finally reached the foot of the city wall.

Although they suffered heavy casualties due to the explosion, they still had no intention of retreating.The well-developed hind limbs of the pioneer insects combined with the insect wings on the back only need one jump to reach the impenetrable Great Wall of Akunda's back line of defense.

It was also the first time for the trolls to see such flexible bugs, but fortunately, these pioneer bugs were not big, and their defense was far weaker than that of beetles.

It should be easier to deal with than the old-fashioned beetles.

But soon, the trolls guarding the wall realized they were wrong.

Different from the large size of the old-style beetles, once they attack the city wall, they will be surrounded and killed by the defending troll warriors. The vanguard beetles pay attention to besieging the enemy with their own numbers.

More and more vanguard insects jumped onto the defensive wall, and the sound of the insects gradually resounded across the Great Wall.

The roars of the troll warriors also sounded at this moment.

The confrontation between spears and sharp claws began, and the dense shield wall provided reliable protection for the troll warriors. After all, it is impossible to break the shield produced by the Zanshuli Workshop if it is close to the pounce of the pioneer bug.

But all this changed with the entry of insect warriors into the battlefield.

When the first batch of insectoid warriors leaped onto the city wall, the four sickle-shaped forelimbs and a tail like a soft gun began to kill.

The sharp tail tip pierced the shield, and a gap in the shield wall was opened with a pull, and the vanguard worms who were ready to go poured into the formation of the trolls along the gap opened by the worms.

These worms also jumped into the trolls' phalanx after breaking through the shield wall formation, waving their limbs like the scythes that harvest wheat in the hands of troll farmers in Riverside Town on Harvest Day.

Those soldiers were harvested one after another like the wheat.

"The Zandalari live forever!"

A group of elite troll berserkers armed with double-edged axes and clad in composite plate armor arrived at the front line, and their target was the insect warriors.

Two troll berserkers entangled one bugman, and the other troll warriors reorganized under the cover of the berserkers to drive the bugs off the wall again.

"Supreme Legion Commander! There are a large number of bugs who have crossed the line of defense and headed towards the rear!"

After breaking through many obstacles, a messenger finally came to Gurubashi who was fighting on the city wall.

"What are you talking about?! Order the Fourth Army to catch up with me! Those auxiliary soldiers must be protected!"

Gurubashi was shocked when he heard the news.

He hadn't discovered that these bugs would have such a cunning side in the past, they were obviously not like this before.

After the messenger took the order, he rushed out under the cover of a small team of troll warriors.

The Fourth Army is a mobile army whose main force is the Raptor Dragoons. Its purpose is to undertake the firefighting mission of Akunda's back line of defense.

Now, their task came.

The expected southward defense line did not happen. Instead, they were asked to go north to snipe and kill those bugs that crossed the defense line and began to infiltrate into the kingdom.

When Alsace and the others followed the auxiliary troops and retreated quickly, Thrall's face suddenly changed.

"We have to tell the Supreme Overseer here, the enemy is coming."

Thrall looked at Alsace with a serious face.

"How did you know?"

Arthas did not expect Thrall to have such a strong perception ability.

"The wind told me that there is no time, those bugs are moving too fast!"

After finishing speaking anxiously, Thrall walked towards the leader of the team.

"Jianna, you continue to retreat with the troops, and I will go to the rear of the team."

Alsace's pride no longer allowed him to retreat any longer, the enemy had already caught up, and there was no possibility for him to continue running away.

"how about you?"

Jaina looked at the blond boy in surprise.

"I will be fine, in the name of the Kingdom of Lordaeron."

Alsace smiled confidently, turned around and walked towards the rear of the advancing army.

Jaina hesitated for a moment, gritted her teeth and followed closely.Zuldazar, the palace.

After Dasa learned of the attack on Akunda's back, he immediately ordered the Eighth Army Corps stationed in the city as the southern defense reserve to move out immediately, and at the same time let the pterodactyl army go out to Akunda's back to provide some air support .

He himself went to the teleportation temple in great strides.

When he arrived, Zul was already here.

"I guessed that you were going, and I'm ready."

Zul looked at Dasa in military uniform and reminded him with concern.

"Don't worry, those bastards can't hurt me. Let's go, the front line may not be able to hold on."

Daza walked into the teleportation array while holding the axe.

Azure light lit up in the teleportation array, and Dasa's figure disappeared here.

In a canyon south of Akunda's back line of defense, a tall golden figure appeared here.
