World of Warcraft Murloc City Guide - Chapter 370
c370 Honest Tauren
The Windfury Harpies were obviously familiar with fighting with the Minotaur. They knew that there were many hunters with superb archery skills among the Minotaur, so they always carefully maintained their flying altitude to ensure that they would not fall into the range of the Minotaur’s bows and arrows.
Whenever a favorable arrow was shot into the air, the Windfury Windcallers would vibrate their wings together to form a strong wind to blow away the arrows that were already at the end of their strength.
The Windfury Harpies took advantage of their ability to fly and used all the heavy objects they could grab to bomb the Minotaur on the ground in the sky.
In the past, when the Minotaur encountered such high-altitude bombing, they could only hold up their shields and disperse, so as to avoid being hit to the greatest extent. After all, the higher the Harpies flew, the less accurate they were.
The Windfury Harpies did not know that this time the Minotaur had found strong reinforcements.
The Minotaur warriors on the ground formed ten tight square formations. These Minotaur warriors held up their large shields to the sky, and they were well protected.
Ten tauren phalanxes advanced slowly, not fast but very determined.
Seeing the enemy go deep into their territory, the wind-fury harpies in the air began to shift their targets and launched fierce attacks on these tauren in formation.
The wind-fury harpies howled in the air, with cold eyes flashing on their dirty faces. They were keen on attacking and plundering and had an indescribable hobby for fighting. Every time a boulder was thrown and every time a hurricane was cast, the wind-fury harpies howled louder, as if they were enjoying every attack.
The attacks in the air kept falling like raindrops, and many tauren warriors’ shields were smashed by boulders. Gradually, some tauren warriors were smashed to the ground, or were blown into the air by the hurricane and fell.
Even though more and more tauren were injured and killed, the ten phalanxes still advanced to the harpy’s nest according to the established plan.
The nest was threatened, and the wind-fury harpies felt the crisis.
A wind-fury harpy just threw a boulder down and knocked a minotaur unconscious. Then she dived down and used her sharp claws to pierce the chest of the fallen minotaur.
With one person taking the lead, the other wind-fury harpy followed suit and swooped down one after another.
Luer Eagle Claw was walking in the front of the minotaur phalanx. He suddenly threw away the big shield in his hand, grabbed the two-handed sword and cut a swooping wind-fury harpy into two pieces.
“Protect the murlocs!” Luer shouted.
Other minotaur warriors also abandoned their shields and picked up big swords, axes, spears, crossbows and other weapons to fight against the flying wind-fury harpy.
In the center of the phalanx, there was still a circle of minotaur warriors still holding on to their shields, and under the shields were protected the fireworks launchers controlled by the murlocs.
The murlocs nodded, indicating that they were ready.
“The next step is up to you, Murlocs.”
The Minotaur warrior pulled out his shield, revealing rows of black launch tubes under the shield.
[Dr. Vivier’s specially made super fireworks cluster launcher], each with ninety-nine and eighty-one launch tubes.
Under the control of the Murloc engineering technicians, the eight hundred and ten launch tubes of ten fireworks cluster launchers were aimed at the Windfury Harpies still hovering in the sky.
Boom, boom, boom…
Boom, boom, boom, boom…
Countless small fireworks were shot out of the launch tubes, flew high into the sky, and then exploded.
The continuous loud noises echoed over the mountains, alarming the entire Grass Sea Plain.
The purpose of Dr. Vivier’s invention of this super fireworks cluster launcher is to release the most beautiful and complex fireworks in the world, and it must meet the standard of accurately painting in the air with fireworks.
Fireworks are brilliant and beautiful but fleeting.
In order to achieve this goal, the firing speed must be fast enough when launching fireworks, and the accuracy of the shooting must also be guaranteed.
There were ten such super fireworks launchers in total. Under the control of the fishman engineers, they completed several rounds of full-coverage bombing on the wind-fury harpies in the sky.
The deafening explosion made the wind-fury harpies and minotaurs who were fighting in close combat stop fighting at the same time, and they looked up in shock.
Even in broad daylight, people on the ground could still vaguely see the image formed when the fireworks exploded.
The first fireworks image was a bright smile of a fishman, followed by a scene of a fishman bravely fighting a giant plesiosaur, a fishman beheading a giant lobsterman, and a fishman hunting a giant kodo beast. Finally, as a finale, the fishman raised his thumb and gave a thumbs-up.
What terrible fireworks.
This was the first feeling of all the minotaurs and harpies present.
Who is the powerful fishman on the fireworks pattern?
This was the question in the minds of all the minotaurs and harpies present.
In the distance, Yang Yi, who was also looking up at the sky, blushed. “So this is the pattern that Greysu mentioned. This dwarf engineer is really good. Should we consider giving him a raise?”
The brilliance of fireworks lasts only for a moment, and the smoke will disperse after the beauty.
The harpies in the sky are at the center of the fireworks explosion. It is conceivable that they are in a state of shock when they see such a powerful explosion for the first time. The terrified harpies either fall to the ground like leaves or fly away to escape.
Only some harpies swooped down to fight the minotaurs in close combat. They had already lost their will to fight at this time, and all of them flapped their wings desperately, thinking only of escaping.
The minotaur warriors did not intend to kill them all, and let the harpies who wanted to escape fly away.
A battle ended here, and no more harpies flying in the air were seen near the cliffs south of the Grass Sea Plain.
“The power of the small fireworks seems a little insufficient.” Yang Yi kept looking up at the sky, and suddenly felt a little worried.
According to Luer, this cliff is just a small stronghold of the Windfury Harpies of Mulgore. The most powerful witch and chieftain of the Windfury Harpies live on the mountains north of Mulgore.
Yang Yi was not in the ten advancing squares. He and most of the fishmen stayed outside the territory of the Harpies as a support. In fact, they did not use weapons until the end of the battle.
Being far away, Yang Yi saw it clearly.
Just now, ten fireworks cluster launchers were launched together, and the fireworks in the sky spread like a carpet, which looked very spectacular. The Windfury Harpies also fled and fell.
However, most of the Windfury Harpies were just scared by the sound and light of the fireworks. Not many of those who fell to death were actually killed by the fireworks. Most of them fell down because of panic and lost control of their bodies.
If these fleeing windfury harpies come to their senses, they will definitely find that their injuries are not as serious as they thought. At that time, the effect of using these small fireworks against them will be greatly reduced.
In the harpy territory, the battle has ended, and the tauren warriors began to treat the wounded and clean up the battlefield in an orderly manner.
The fireworks cluster launcher made great contributions in the first battle. When Luer Eagle Claw looked at these engineering products again, he was full of brilliance. He almost wanted to climb up to the control panel to operate them himself.
The dead and wounded tauren warriors were carried away, and Yang Yi also came over with the fishmen.
“Nur warriors commanded well, and the tauren warriors were brave and invincible. They drove away all the harpies in one battle.” Yang Yi came over and praised sincerely.
“Thanks to the ten big guys you brought.” Luer said happily. “Next, we need to destroy the harpy’s nest hanging high up, and we also need to clean up the harpy’s excrement on the ground, so as to prevent the harpy from returning again.”
Yang Yi looked at the thick accumulation of materials under the harpy’s nest. This scene was really disgusting. He couldn’t understand why the harpy, who had a beautiful face and a delicate figure, liked such a dirty life.
“Let us fishmen clean up the harpy’s excrement.” Yang Yi immediately said and took the dirty work on himself.
The previous battle was completely arranged by Luer. He assigned all the most dangerous work to his own minotaur warriors, and he was also trying his best to protect the fishman engineer who controlled the launcher on the battlefield.
As a result, the casualties in the battle were all minotaurs, and all the fishmen were unharmed.
“Minotaur, what an honest race.” Yang Yi sighed.
It is right to rush to do some dirty and tiring work to fight side by side with such a partner.
There is no need to fight against the fishmen to do these dirty jobs. Yang Yi gave an order, and the fishmen who went with the team unloaded the heavy objects, raised the manuscripts and shovels and surrounded them.
The hard-working fishmen worked hard for most of the day, and finally dug a big pit in the nearby grass and buried all the dirty things in it.
“It’s a pity to bury them all like this. After all, they are biological fertilizers. I have a chance to find time to dig them back and add fertilizer to the farmland beside the Nushui River. At that time, I can also advertise that the oats fertilized by the beautiful harpy are great.” Yang Yi was thinking about farming in Thorntooth Town again.
All the traces of the harpy on the ground were wiped out, leaving only some years of stench lingering in the wind.
The harpy nests hanging high up are not so easy to remove.
In order to prevent being shot by crossbows, harpy often choose the highest place when building nests, and they are generally out of reach without the ability to fly.
However, Luer was well prepared. He asked a group of tauren hunters with owls and scavengers to release their pets. These pets may not have an advantage against harpies who can also fly, but they are just right for destroying harpy nests hanging high up.
Under the command of the tauren hunters, the owls and scavengers specifically pecked at the hanging positions of the harpy nests. The harpy nests fell down one after another and were trampled to pieces by the tauren below.
Yang Yi also released the Sky Blade Azeri, which had just been tamed. This wind snake with the “fire enhancement” specialty turned into a fire blade as soon as it was deployed, spitting out one after another earth fireballs at the harpy nests hanging on the cliff wall, burning them all to ashes.
So far, there is no trace of harpy life on the cliff wall south of the Grass Sea Plain, and the harpy threat at the entrance and exit passage of Mulgore has been lifted.
This battle was just the beginning. After cleaning up the battlefield, the energetic Luer led a large team to the next harpy territory.
