The New Order of Azeroth - v2 Chapter 522
The mages of Dalaran also helped to transport the artillery to the head of the Scourge Gate. The artillery fired together, and countless undead like sea water were blown away.
five minutes later.
“I’m back!” Jaina suddenly appeared beside Vanessa, and waved to the back.
The Grons joined the battle one after another. They raised stone pillars and tree trunks, and in the east of the checkpoint, they started another massacre against the undead who were not as tall as their knees.
Vanessa entrusted Jaina with the task of clearing the undead in the checkpoint, and she came to the city wall on the west side, which was already in danger.
The several legion commanders of Lordaeron, Marlan, Brother Mograine, Whitemane, Halford Wyrmbane of Stormwind City, and the elites of the coalition forces are basically on this side. These elites usually deal with the undead. It was possible to fight one against a hundred, but at this time, they were beaten into an extremely embarrassing situation. There were too many undead.
Even with magic, rain of arrows, artillery, and various means of attacking alternately, like a sieve, sifting through the undead army several times, there are still many undead climbing to the top of the city.
“Your Highness! It’s almost over!” Luo Ning yelled.
Vanessa lowered her hands: “Leave it to me!”
The east side of the Scourge’s Gate was built extremely strong because it had to face the soldiers of the coalition forces. The west side faced the undead themselves, so there was no need to work so hard. One of the main reasons for not being able to stay is that the city wall on the west side is not well built.
“Earth… Vordrassil… lend me some of my strength…” The earth quickly responded, and the originally fifty-meter-high city wall was accompanied by rumbling giant It suddenly thickened two layers, and became steeper according to Vanessa’s arrangement.
Vordassil’s roots also grew wildly on this side, and the vines wrapped around the wall and jumped up a section. When the growth stopped, the wall on the west side had become 70 meters high, dilapidated. The unbearable wall was filled with roots. At this time, it was not only solid, but also covered with thorns.
Love climbing walls? Climb another try!
The undead army’s offensive did not subside in the slightest, and she was not prepared to admit cowardice, and directly opened her mouth to mock.
She pointed at the sea of undead below and roared: “Whether you are the Lich King or Arthas, I tell you, this is a sign of your incompetence! Come! Come and take back your Scourge Gate! Do you dare to come?”
The Lich King was angry, and so was the entire undead army.
An incomparably hoarse voice came out from their broken throats at the same time, death!
Countless undead joined the battle, and they crazily flocked to the west wall of the Scourge Gate, without using any ladders or climbing tools, just relying on their numbers, they slammed into the city wall like an arhat.
The undead soldiers frantically attacked the roots outside the city wall with various weapons. If the knife was broken, they would use their claws, and if their claws were broken, they would bite with their teeth.
Even if the roots of Vordassil are extremely strong, the loss at this time is far greater than the limit of the roots. Ants kill elephants. This principle is applicable in Azeroth. The elves can kill Akmon Germany, the boundless undead can also consume Vanessa to death.
This is also the reason why she didn’t open up and jump into the waves of the undead.
She glanced at it twice, then immediately turned around and ordered: “Keep burning! Burn the roots, don’t stop! Our reinforcements will be here soon.”
A group of mages quickly aimed at the roots, and countless flame magic poured down.
The roots ignited raging fire, and the undead climbing on the roots were also burned to fly ash.
Undead are afraid of fire after all, and Vordassil’s fire resistance is obviously higher than that of undead.
Relying on this method of killing one thousand enemies and harming themselves by eight hundred, Vanessa and the others persisted for another 30 minutes.
The arrows of the elves and the breath of the Nether Dragon also aided them.
The scorched undead piled up under the city wall like a mountain. According to Vanessa’s visual estimation, last night alone and today’s morning, the total number of undead killed on both sides of the Scourge’s Gate would exceed 100,000.
Now that the gate of Scourge’s Gate belongs to the coalition forces, it will not be so easy for the Lich King to take it back.
Regardless of whether the Lich King is angry or not, Vanessa has been deploying according to her plan.
Forty-three minutes later, Old Fording rushed to the east side of the checkpoint with more than 45,000 infantrymen.
Cooperating with Goron and the elites of various races on the city wall, they wiped out all the undead on the east side of the checkpoint, and then formally entered the Scourge’s Gate.
The rear camp also continued to transport various weapons and equipment to the front line.
The coalition forces are condescending and have a favorable location. After Old Fording led the infantry to join the battle, the balance was restored in terms of numbers. Arrows, kerosene, shells, javelins, the defense weapons of the coalition forces are far more advanced than those of the undead. Every minute of delay, the coalition forces defend The chances of Scourge’s Gate are one point higher.
On the way, the undead army also climbed up the city wall several times, all relying on old Fording, Magni Bronzebeard and other fighters to lead people to block the gap and complete the kill.
At this time, the legal system is exhausted, and Vanessa has been maintaining communication with Dadi and Vordassil, and she is also exhausted.
Facing the crazy counterattack of the Lich King, these legendary fighters had to rely on their incomparable physical strength to bear it.
This battle lasted for three days from the stormy raid that night, to the coalition forces taking the Scourge Gate as the high point, and the turning point of victory as Old Fording led the army to support.
Once the coalition soldiers are injured or exhausted, let them go to the rear to rest, and there are countless soldiers on the east side of the checkpoint as substitutes.
It is this group of leaders who really work hard. They can only rest occasionally, and fight for the rest of the time.
No one knows exactly how many undead were killed. Some say 80,000, some say 100,000, and some say 150,000.
When the undead army completely retreated, they all heaved a sigh of relief. It was really not easy, the Gate of Scourge was guarded!
“Calculate the battle damage! Pack up the supplies! Let people go to the wall to retrieve all the available weapons and equipment~www.mtlnovel.com~ and burn all the corpses of the undead!” Vanessa kept giving orders without taking a break.
The Scourge’s Gate is huge, but no matter how big it is, there is a limit. At best, it can accommodate more than 50,000 soldiers.
The coalition forces did not completely defend. On the day when the undead army retreated, they left the customs and built a large number of fortifications densely along the front of the wall.
Pit pits, archery towers, mines, magic traps, all kinds of defense methods, as long as they are available, they are all used.
The victory of Scourge Gate gave Vanessa a huge reputation. No one would question her military talent anymore. She was not polite, and continued to give orders, dig holes, build defenses, and fight back.
This battle unified the various voices within the coalition forces, but the legions also suffered a lot of battle damage and had to re-deploy their troops.
In order to show a phased victory and also to boost morale, the discordant name of Scourge’s Gate was naturally abandoned. Considering the paladins’ sacrifice and political status, Scourge’s Gate was officially renamed Holy Light door.
