Warcraft Eternal Tree - Chapter 576
c576 Humanity’s defeat
There is no doubt that the sudden storm in Xirik City was Grom’s work. This powerful storm turned ordinary houses and special wizard towers into ashes wherever it passed. It was the most famous skill of the hero Sword Saint – Blade Storm.
When Yu Fei found that Grom decisively used this skill, he could only watch Xirik City being turned into a mess. The magicians in the wizard towers scattered in the four directions of the city were also annihilated together with the wizard towers in the blade storm.
As he muttered to himself, this is a big trouble. The reason why the human troops outside Xirik City can temporarily be in a tense battle with the orc troops is due to the sharp magic support in Xirik City. Now Grom has wiped out these magicians and even the wizard towers, and the magic support of the human troops is naturally gone.
Yu Fei finally understood. No wonder the human side was still losing ground in the battle with the orcs even though the three empires united. It turned out that the damn sword saint Grom played a great role.
In the previous battle, although Yu Fei showed extremely strong magic control and made good use of the magic power contributed by the human mage group, it was impossible that there was no one who could not match the hidden strength of Yu Fei among so many magicians in the human country.
In other words, the human camp must have had the same sharp magic support as Yu Fei before when fighting against the orcs. But the orcs had Grom, so this kind of magic support could only be a flash in the pan on the battlefield.
From the battlefield in Xirik City, Yu Fei could already associate that in most of the previous battles, the mage group of the human side was killed so aggrievedly, which made the human side always lose more than win.
In the state of Blade Storm, Grom will be in a magic immunity state. Therefore, Yu Fei could not stop Grom from fully exerting the power of this powerful skill.
However, the duration of this skill was not very long. After the wizard towers in the four directions of Xirik City were crushed, the storm of sword blades gradually stopped. Yu Fei stared at the place where the storm finally stopped, and Grom’s green figure appeared there.
“Wow, hahahaha——” A burst of hearty laughter rang out. Grom naturally would not fail to notice Yu Fei who was carried by the golden vines in the sword blade storm, and stood in the void and looked at Yu Fei.
“Wold Sunz, I admit that you are very strong, but what’s the use? Don’t you have to watch you humans fail? Oh! You can’t catch me, don’t waste your energy.” The last sentence was said by Grom after he dodged a flying golden vine.
Isn’t this guy very stupid? How can he take advantage of me? Hearing “Wold Sunz” from Grom’s mouth, Yu Fei was very surprised while being angry.
Before Yu Fei could curse back, Grom left with a word and then ran away with the Wind Step——
“Okay, grandpa is gone, Sunzi, you don’t have to see me off. I don’t think you can do anything without those human magicians, hahaha——”
Fuck Cao Cao! ! The veins on Yu Fei’s forehead popped out. This is really intolerable! This wretched, damn swordsman actually escaped after a mouth cannon, it’s really fucking cheap! He really deserves the profession of cheap saint!
The more Yu Fei thought about it, the angrier he became. It was obvious that he had played Grom around at the beginning, but in the end he was still taken advantage of by this stupid orc. No! It can’t end like this! After being provoked by Grom, Yu Fei’s heart ignited with a long-lost anger, and he felt that he must do something.
Hmm? Right! Didn’t that damn Grom say that he could only watch humans fail? Didn’t he say that he would be useless without those human magicians? Then let him see how he can change the situation on his own!
Yu Fei decided that even if he exposed part of his true strength, he would let the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army win this battle. Of course, this was not just to fight with Grom, but more because Yu Fei also believed that humans could not be defeated like this.
If the orcs easily conquered the human world, what would happen to the night elves? Two divided forces are much easier to deal with than a unified force.
Yu Fei left the city of Xirik without saying a word and flew towards the place where the human and orc troops were fighting.
The blade storm in Xirik City was so powerful that both sides noticed the changes in the city on the battlefield only a thousand meters away from the city.
The orcs naturally knew that this was the work of their own heroes, and their morale was boosted for a while. On the human side, because of some previous battles, they also knew that there was a powerful orc who had no moral integrity and loved to sneak attack the magicians in the rear. Officers such as Paramount were all ashen.
Sure enough, not long after the storm started, the magic support from the human side disappeared. The orcs were pleasantly surprised to find that the ground spikes that often appeared suddenly in the Chrysanthemum area no longer appeared, and they no longer had to worry about being attacked.
The disappearance of magic support not only meant that humans lost a major means, but also reversed the morale comparison between the two sides.
Before, the orcs were busy guarding against the ground spikes that might appear at any time and the occasional fireballs and wind blades, and their fighting will was messed up by these magics. The human soldiers took the initiative, and the magicians were unexpectedly very powerful. They saw the hope of victory and fought desperately.
In Eslazer, a general army would fall into the brink of collapse after more than 30% of casualties. However, this time, the human army was still in high spirits even though the cavalry was destroyed and the infantry gradually suffered heavy losses in the battle with the orcs. One of the reasons for this was the magicians’ strength.
But now the magicians have been annihilated by the storm, and the sharp magic support has disappeared. This has caused the human soldiers to gradually lose their previous blood and courage and recover from the state of killing.
In fact, on the battlefield, the best state for soldiers is to kill and only focus on fighting, not thinking about other things. The generals will do the deployment of troops and formations, and it is not a good thing for soldiers to think too much.
Just like now, the human soldiers who have calmed down a little quickly realized that without the support of the magicians, the outcome of this battle will definitely be the failure of the human side. Thinking of this, they almost have no will to fight.
In just half a minute, the situation on the battlefield changed from the previous stalemate to the current defeat of the human side. No matter how capable Paramount and other officers are, there is nothing they can do now.
With a roar, Paramount did not retreat to the city of Xirik with most of the soldiers, but turned back with his own soldiers to fight back against the orc troops that were chasing them. He knew that the outcome of this battle was doomed, but he did not want to run away like this. If possible, Paramount hoped to kill a few more orcs before his death.
A small number of human soldiers near Paramount were inspired by their commander’s behavior and turned back to kill the orcs. But most of the soldiers still retreated to the city of Xirik.
The human soldiers who were originally at the back of the army and became the front army when they retreated were horrified to find that a figure flew out of the city of Xirik. They thought that this was the orc warrior who had caused a huge storm in the city and killed all his magicians.
But when the figure flew closer, they found that it was not an orc, but a mysterious figure covered in a black robe.
“Earl O’Brien!” an officer exclaimed. The ordinary soldiers didn’t know him, but most of the officers knew the head of the mage group.
The officer was suspicious – what? Did the head of the mage group escape from the terrible storm? But it was useless. Earl O’Brien seemed to be just a legendary mage. He was powerless in a battle of this scale.
Yu Fei didn’t care about the human soldiers under him. He had expected the defeat of the human side. What he wanted to do and was doing now was the move that Grom thought was impossible to turn the tide.
