Azeroth has no trolls

Chapter 147 Collapsed Line of Defense

The new round of offensive launched by the Yaqi Empire was very sudden. Because of the rescue of the Virgin Mary and her party, the empire suffered heavy losses, both on the ground and in the air.

The supplementary recruits are still in training, except for a few key nodes where special inspection posts are left, and the investigation of the outside world has stopped.

According to the evaluation of the War Council under the Zanshu Legislative Council, the generals agreed that the Yaqi Empire suffered heavy losses in that war. Even if they were born in the way the bugs were born, it would take at least three months for them to reunite. time.

However, the fact is that the Yaqi Empire's new round of offensive has not even passed two months.

Tokali's crown and Akunda's back encountered unprecedented pressure. Dasa immediately activated the emergency plan, and asked the various legions and recruits to go to these two lines of defense. A Legion of Faceless Men emerged from nowhere and entered this forest area, which was regarded as the rear area.

In order to calm down the Faceless Legion that appeared in the rear as soon as possible, Emperor Dasa went to the forest in person.

On the back of Akunda, Gurubashi, who is the supreme commander of the army here, looks solemnly at the giant beetles that are comparable in size to Torkali, and the pioneer insects that are densely surrounded by these giant beetles. Groups.

He had seen those giant beetles before, but he never thought that giant beetles could grow so big.

"Bring me all the new weapons! Never let those giant beasts get close to the city walls!"

Gurubashi's order was quickly conveyed to every part of the defense line, and a group of brass cannons from the Zanshuli Workshop were lifted off the felt cloth covering the cannon body.

The fixed cylindrical charge packs were filled into the gun barrel from the muzzle, and then a spherical metal projectile was pushed into the gun bore, and a fuse was inserted.

Under the command of each artillery team captain, the fuses were lit one by one.

The roar of cannons overwhelmed the sound of war drums, like a thunder.

Flames, thick smoke, and metal projectiles gushing out.

The first batch of new weapons developed by the craftsmen of the Zandalari Empire based on gunpowder were finally applied on the battlefield.

After the spherical projectiles rushed into the formation of the pioneer insects, they were like plowshares, plowing a bloody path in the dense pioneer insect swarm.

Those behemoth beetles also looked a bit unsightly when facing these new weapons of the empire; only three shells were needed to deal with a behemoth beetle.

But the premise of this is that the artillery of the empire can reach this level of accuracy.

The advancing speed of the sea of ​​insects was very fast, and the artillery of the empire only fired three rounds before seeing that the group of insects was already approaching the city wall.

The artillery bombardment did not stop, and their target chose the insect swarm further behind. As for how to deal with the approaching insects, it depends on the commander's intention.

"Array! Raise your gun!"

Following the order of the centurions of the squad, the troll warriors equipped with matchlock guns and a group of gun shield soldiers formed a mixed formation.

The spear and shield soldiers are in front, and the arquebus soldiers are behind.

The moment the first batch of vanguard and insect warriors jumped onto the city wall, the troll arquebus soldiers who had already been ready pulled the trigger under the orders of their respective captains.

The dense gunfire and the roaring artillery sounded a battlefield symphony.

Thick smoke filled the air after the shots were fired, and neither the vanguard bugs nor the bugmen warriors could resist the shooting from the Zandalari six-centimeter arquebus.

Seeing the behemoth beetle gradually approaching the city wall in the distance, Gurubashi was very anxious. The continuous gunshots on the city wall meant that the supplies were still sufficient at the moment, but as the supreme army commander, he knew very well that all persistence now would be of no avail. It's because the walls are still there.

Once the troll legion loses the protection of the city wall, they basically have no advantage in facing the field battle of the Aqir swarm.

"Is the guard ready?"

After putting on his clothes, Gurubashi casually took a spear from the weapon rack.

"The guards have assembled, Legion Commander."

The troll, the Gurubashi lieutenant, was quick to answer his question.

"That's good, the work of spell reinforcement here will be entrusted to the high priest of Zanza."

Gurubashi nodded, put his pocket on his head, and headed towards the place where the guards gathered.

The next thing he has to do is very simple, go deep into the sea of ​​insects, and kill all those giant beetles.

A 32-man guard was assembled, and all the trolls were stuffed around their waists.

Gurubashi glanced at them briefly, and didn't say any words of encouragement, because it was unnecessary now.

"Set off."

After such a simple sentence, he set off with the 32 warriors.

Seeing the giant beetle that was already close at hand, Gurubashi sprinted and jumped towards the head of the giant beetle, and the spear in his hand pierced into the gap between the carapace of its crown. Turning over and grabbing the opponent's crown carapace, the giant beetle felt the foreign object above its head.

But it was too late to react.

boom!
Gurubashi stuffed small packets of very tight explosives into the wound he had made with the lance, igniting the fuse.

Before the explosion, he jumped to the nearest giant beetle, and the members of the guard who followed him also jumped on the heads of the giant beetles like him, and killed them with the explosives they carried. These monsters who tried to approach the city wall in vain.

The spears and chains in their hands are how they move through the worm sea.

With the detonation of pieces of explosives, one giant beetle after another was completely wiped out.

On an altar above the city wall, Zanza dressed up as a high-ranking priest is providing the protection of loa for the trolls on the entire defense line.

The divine power of Tokali and Tortola gave these troll warriors a qualitative leap in their defense.

Gurubashi and the guards he led had to withdraw because they had exhausted all the medicine packs on their bodies after they had eliminated four batches of behemoth beetles trying to get close to the city wall.

But the number of people who came back here was only eight.

Gurubashi watched the guards drop from 32 to eight, and he felt very uncomfortable.

The attack of the bugs is like a tide, wave after wave.

And the trolls and warriors on Akunda's back were like solid rocks, firmly withstood the wave after wave of insect waves.

It's just that this rock will be washed away by the waves after all.

An approaching giant beetle finally approached a section of Akunda's back, roaring and crashing into this solid city wall.

The whole section of the city wall shook violently because of its impact, and after the impact, it waved its four sickle-shaped forelimbs to tear down this section of the city wall.

The trolls guarding the city wall gathered together, trying to kill the giant beetle, but they couldn't get close at all.

Because two squads of insect warriors rushed up the city wall followed by two insect centurions and a group of pioneer insects, there was already a fierce battle on the city wall.

In order to regain his position, on the one hand, Gurubashi ordered the last reserve mobile force to rush there for reinforcements, on the other hand, he was ready to take another risk to stop the commando team, to prevent the giant beetle from approaching.

"Stick to your respective battle positions! You must not take a step back! Behind us is the homeland of the empire!"

After riding a velociraptor into the battlefield, Gurubashi waved his spear and broke through the barriers of the vanguard insects. There is no way.

He doesn't have the power of Dasa.

The troll warriors who stood here were excited by the arrival of their supreme army commander, and their morale, which was somewhat low, was also raised.

"Get out of the way! Bugs!"

Gurubashi anxiously wanted to break through the barriers of the insect warriors and get rid of the giant beetle that was still tearing down the city wall. Collapsing quickly.

Anxiously, Gurubashi ignited a medicine bag in his hand and threw it to the bug warriors who were blocking him.

boom!
Although the violent explosion emptied the insect warriors who blocked him in front of him, the troll warriors defending here were somewhat affected by the explosion.

The bugger forces on the ramparts were briefly cleared, giving Gurubashi a chance to kill the behemoth beetle.

He quickly entered a berserk state, roaring and rushed to the top of the giant beetle's head, half of the spear in his hand disappeared into the carapace of the opponent's crown, and then Gurubashi stuffed the medicine bag into the beetle very skillfully. Among the wounds from a shot.

There was an explosion, and along with the giant beetle fell down, apart from the pioneer worms surrounding it, there was also this section of the city wall that was already crumbling.

The broken bricks and stones collapsed together with the corpses of insects and trolls, and the once magnificent city wall turned into the ruins of today's section.

"The city wall is broken!"

All the troll warriors looked at the scene before them in horror. The defense line of Akunda's back that they were proud of had a breakthrough.

This time the collapse seemed to be just the beginning, just when Gurubashi was trying his best to stop the remaining troll warriors nearby from trying to gamble on the gap in this line of defense.

Bad news came from the east and west of the collapse of the defense line.

"Zanza, carry out the fire plan."

Gurubash contacted the other party through Zanza's spell communication.

"It seems that this is the only way to go. Keep the fire and look forward to the rekindling of the flame in the future."

On the altar deep in Zanza, overlooking the entire defense line, he saw that the defense of the entire Akunda's back had begun to collapse.

Countless insect swarms rushed into the southern border of the empire along the collapsed openings, and Akunda's back line of defense could be declared lost at this moment.

"Retreat! Retreat! Enter the follow-up bunker!"

After Gurubashi gave this final order, he handed over the spear symbolizing the command of the Supreme Legion Commander to the adjutant beside him, along with a legion flag symbolizing the Gurubashi troll.

"Legion Commander!"

The adjutant naturally understood what Gurubashi meant by doing this, and he still wanted to persuade Gurubashi to leave.

"Now, I somewhat understand why His Majesty always likes you brats so much. Get out of here! Live with our hope!"

Gurubashi pushed the adjutant away, turned around and pierced a rushing insect warrior with his spear.

The aftereffects of berserk are gradually appearing in his body, but now he can't take care of that much anymore.As the commander of the supreme army guarding Akunda's back, he has the responsibility to follow this line of defense to survive and die together.

"Zandalari, live forever!"

Gurubashi roared and led a group of veterans to take the initiative to become the troops to stay in the rear. They hoped to use their sacrifices to buy time for these young recruits to retreat to the rear to reorganize the defense line.

"It's never us old guys who create the future, you little guys must live on."

Zanza dismissed the priests beside him, picked up a long bronze staff and walked down the altar to join the nearest battlefield.

The sea of ​​insects marched frantically along the breached Akunda's back defense line towards the inside of the defense line, but their progress was not smooth, because a group of troll veterans tried their best to stop the advance of the sea of ​​insects.

Just to win that second of evacuation time for his juniors.

When the ammo for the matchlock gun is used up, draw out the spear on your back. If the spear is broken, then draw out the dagger at your waist. When the dagger cuts the edge, use the hand axe. If there is no hand axe, then There are also fists, teeth, and even his own broken bones.

Everything that could be used for fighting was used by the army in charge of the rear.

There is nothing terrible about death, what is terrible is that death is worthless.

Today, these veterans know how precious the value of their own death is.

The news of the collapse of Akunda's back line of defense was sent to the city of Zuldazar through the nearest Wind Serpent Rider, along with the news of the death of Gurubashi and Zanza.

"There is no time to grieve, what we have to do now is to redesign the defense and activate the emergency plan."

Because Dasa went to Wharton Forest as the emperor to fight against Mythrax the dismantler and a group of faceless warriors who suddenly appeared there, the high priest was in charge of the entire imperial capital.

Zanchuli MPs were all shocked when they heard the news.

The death of Gurubashi can be said to be the supreme commander lost by the empire since the war with the bugs began.

"The news has been sent to His Majesty, High Priest, I apply to go to the front line."

Hillock offered to go to the front.

"I'm going too, the front line needs more support."

Bwonsamdi, who hadn't seen him for a long time, took the initiative to apply to go to the southern front. His move was beyond Zull's expectations.

"Allowed, let all the nearby residents retreat and retreat to the north. The speed of the insects is much faster than we thought, so we don't have much time."

After confirming the personnel rushing for reinforcements, Zul went to the Loa platform.He needs to rely on the strength of the Loamen to deal with the current emergency.

Dasa, who was far away in Wharton Forest, learned of the situation on Akunda's back, and without hesitation ordered Jaina to use the teleportation spell to send him there.

However, when he walked out of the light of the teleportation spell, he found that this time he was not only teleported here alone, but also three teenagers from the future who came with him.

But now, what he has to face is a vast sea of ​​insects.

The battle has begun.
