Warcraft Eternal Tree - Chapter 608
c608 Lots of metal puppets
With a cautious attitude, Illidan dismissed some of the night elves who followed him, and asked all the night elf troops to stay outside the Holy Imperial City first, and he alone investigated the situation in the Holy Imperial City.
In Illidan’s opinion, no matter how big the trap is, it can only cover an area as large as the Holy Imperial City at most. He has a mythical strength, and can use demon transformation at a critical moment. No matter what kind of changes occur, he should be able to escape unscathed.
However, after searching in the Holy Imperial City for a long time, Illidan did not find anything wrong. He even carefully explored the palace, but still only found that the magnificent palace was empty. When he arrived here, even the human-shaped metal puppets that could explode were gone.
Is there really no conspiracy? But in the West Holy Pass, the human soldiers fought desperately just to delay the evacuation of the residents in the pass? Although he did not find anything wrong anywhere, the warning signs in Illidan’s heart were indeed getting stronger and stronger.
Forget it, there are no humans in the Holy Imperial Capital or even nearby. Let’s leave from the other passes and conquer other territories of the Holy Lion Empire. Illidan decided to leave the Holy Imperial Capital. Although occupying the Holy Imperial Capital has great symbolic significance, it is already in the hands of the Dark Night Empire anyway, so it is better to attack other places first.
At Illidan’s command, the night elves moved as if they were waving their arms and rushed to the East Holy Pass east of the Holy Imperial Capital. Yu Fei ordered to attack the east before Illidan went to battle. Yu Fei had a little selfishness in this, because Lord O’Brien was in this direction.
However, when the vanguard of the night elves arrived at the East Holy Pass, they found that it was already forbidden to pass. There were not countless defenders on the East Holy Pass as Illidan expected, but the seemingly weak magic light curtains showed that the night elves could not easily pass through here.
Perhaps this is the source of his ominous premonition? Illidan thought. His fastest Hippogryph Knights received the order quickly and divided into three teams to investigate the situation in the three directions of the west, south and north.
The feedback from the Hippogryph Knights was not unexpected. Including the West Holy Pass that had just been breached, the other three passes of the Holy Imperial Capital were all covered by magic light curtains. If there was no way to break these magic light curtains, these four passes would lock the night elf troops inside.
Illidan tentatively asked the night elves to attack the magic light curtain of the East Holy Pass, but found that these light curtains were unexpectedly tough, and even he, a mythical strongman, could not easily break them.
Oh, what is this for? After discovering this situation, Illidan felt much more relaxed. Conspiracies are most frightening when they are not revealed, but they are not so frightening when they are revealed.
Although these magic light curtains are tough, and because they are not armored like buildings, the siege attacks of mountain giant glaive throwers and even chimeras can no longer have a 2.5 times damage effect, but they want to trap millions of night elves.
The magic light curtain with a large force area is not like a single soldier, which cannot be hit by multiple attacks at the same time. Apart from adjusting the position, Illidan does not believe that the thin magic light curtain can withstand the simultaneous shooting of hundreds of thousands of archers.
Besides, the magic light curtain only covers four passes, and the tall mountains connecting the four passes have no magic light curtains. At most, the night elves can leave this artificial cage with a little effort to cross the mountains.
But Illidan wanted to see what the Holy Lion Empire was thinking and what they wanted to do by locking millions of night elves in their imperial capital. Therefore, he did not immediately take measures to break the magic light curtains or try to cross the mountains to leave the already blocked Holy Imperial Capital, but ordered the night elves to stay there.
To be honest, Illidan didn’t think that humans could do anything to the millions of night elves under his command. The lowest strength of the millions of night elves was bronze, and the average strength was silver. It was enough to push the entire human world – if humans really only had the strength that appeared on the surface.
Unfortunately, Illidan was indeed too careless this time. He seemed to have forgotten the humanoid metal puppets that could self-destruct in the Holy Imperial City. Such puppets were also something that humans had never taken out before. Since such humanoid metal puppets have appeared, won’t humans have other new means?
Not long after Illidan issued the order to stay on the spot, there were new changes at the gates covered with magic light curtains in four directions. A large number of stiff figures emerged from the four gates. If you look closely, you can find that these figures are all metal puppets.
Compared with the metal puppets in the Holy Imperial City that were still disguised and dressed up as humans, the metal puppets that walked out of the four holy gates in the southeast, northwest, and northeast now have no disguise at all. Even more, most of the metal puppets were no longer in human form.
There were tens of thousands of metal puppets coming from all directions, and Illidan was shocked when he discovered this. These metal puppets can explode, and the power of the explosion is not small. Looking at these newly appeared strange-looking puppets, just from the size comparison, they are probably more powerful than the humanoid metal puppets in the Holy Imperial City before. At least the ordinary night elf soldiers cannot withstand that kind of damage.
No, we can’t let these metal puppets get close to the more fragile night elf troops! Illidan quickly adjusted the night elf formation. The night elf troops with strong execution ability quickly turned into a formation with mountain giants, claw druids and other tough soldiers outside, and archers, tree monsters and other fragile soldiers inside.
At the same time, the three types of flying soldiers of the night elves, chimeras, horned hippogryph riders and raptor druids transformed into storm crows, also went out one after another, trying to destroy those metal puppets in the distance.
However, neither the arrows of the horned hippogryph riders nor the wind blades of the storm crows could cause much damage to the metal puppets that looked very hard. Only the venom of the chimeras could easily corrode the metal bodies of those puppets, causing them to be completely destroyed.
But compared with the total number of more than 200,000 metal puppets rushing in from four directions, the number of one thousand chimeras was indeed a bit scarce. Even though the Chimaera’s venom spray has a splashing effect, it can only destroy a few metal puppets at most, which seems irrelevant to the overall situation.
Thousands of Chimaeras can kill thousands of metal puppets in one round of volleys, but the movement speed of these metal puppets is not slow. They have to advance to a place only a few hundred meters away from the night elves’ camp at the cost of 30,000 to 40,000 losses.
Illidan’s face was full of seriousness at this time. The camp set up by millions of night elves is very huge, and it is difficult to avoid those metal puppets even if they want to. If no measures are taken, the night elves will have to bear the self-explosion of hundreds of thousands of metal puppets head-on.
Fortunately, in addition to Chimaera, the night elves have other means. Roars sounded one after another, and the claw druids who had been assigned to the outermost periphery transformed into earth bears or lightning leopards and attacked the approaching metal puppets.
Most of the Claw Druid troops were still at the ordinary level, but judging from the fact that the wind blades from the Raptor Druids had little effect on these metal puppets, the Wind Wolves transformed by the ordinary Claw Druids would probably not achieve any results, so Illidan simply allowed the elite and elite Claw Druids to transform.
A small number of elite Claw Druids transformed into Earth Bears, using the Forest of Earth Spears to fork up the metal puppets on the move, so that they could not move forward even if they were not destroyed.
Logically, if you want to stop the progress of these metal puppets, the Earth Wall seems to be more effective, but the metal puppets are very flexible when they move, and some obstacles caused by the terrain can be easily crossed, and the Earth Wall will probably be no exception, so the Earth Bears all used the Forest of Earth Spears.
I had some physical problems yesterday and was unable to update, so I will try my best to make up for it today – I wrote from noon to night, and I will post as much as I write.
