Chapter 506 Vrykul (44)
…………
As night fell, tens of thousands of undead finally rushed over like a tide and approached the city.
In the darkness of night, no one could see clearly how many undead there were, only densely packed ones.Looking at the frost dragon and the black gargoyles hovering high in the sky in the distance, the people of Stromgarde turned pale, regretting why they didn't leave earlier.
Under such circumstances, Jiang Jie and Fen Na would certainly not be able to make love to each other. They walked out of the palace quickly and rode their horses to the gate tower. The others had already been waiting for a long time.
No one expected that the "Ashbringers" Fenna, Liadrin, and Archmage Angela would hear the news of Stromgarde's crisis without notification, and then teleport them directly to the Tower of Arathor.
Fortunately, the Tower of Arathor is the first mage tower in the human world. It was built by high elf mages and human mages together 2800 years ago. Many great mages have visited here, including Angela, so they can accurately locate it.
Otherwise, if it is teleported to some other place and then rushed over, it may be too late.
But what if they came?
It's just a drop in the bucket, and it can't change the situation.This is why Jiang Jie didn't ask Fenna for help:
The enemy he faced was too powerful, and he didn't want Fenner to come and take risks.
As for bringing the Ashes over?
That's even worse, because the Army of Ashes has been busy dealing with the scattered undead in the Eastern Plaguelands, busy purifying the plague, just trying to gather them together, it can't be completed in three to five days, and it can't be brought at all.
The faces of several leaders were not very good, because in the army of undead, they saw a new type of arms:
Giant abominations as high as six or seven meters, slightly smaller natural disaster giants, and some flesh and blood creatures that look somewhat similar to giant dragons!
The giant abomination is undoubtedly a new species researched by the Cult of the Damned, and the material is probably a dead Vrykul.
The Vrykul are the ancestors of human beings, the first batch of creations of the furnace of will, like the earth spirits, with an average height of about four meters, of course there are taller ones, their combat effectiveness is very strong, and they are the most powerful among the first batch of creations , the kind that can confront the doomsday guards and demon guards head-on.
The Vrykul were degraded by the Curse of Flesh and became human.
But there are still some Vrykul who have fallen into an eternal sleep in order to get rid of the influence of the curse of flesh and blood. These Vrykul are basically in Northrend in the North Pole. Unexpectedly, they have been awakened by Alsace, and they are under his command!
Those Scourge giants who were slightly smaller, about four meters in size, were actually the undead Vrykul "Yimia" transformed by a special method by the high-ranking generals of the Scourge.
Their huge size naturally endowed them with great strength and attack power. These guys are natural siege machines. If they rush up, even if the towering and solid city walls can stop them, the wooden city walls will definitely not be able to stop them.
Not only that, they also maintain the same intelligence as other vrykuls, far more cunning, more ferocious, and more difficult to deal with than giant abominations.
This is not a big deal.
Those dragon-like monsters are the scariest.
They are "ancestral dragons", ancient dragons, belonging to the category of ancient primordial dragons, ancient primordial dragons who have not received the power of guardians bestowed by the Titans, have no magical physique, do not belong to the category of intelligent creatures, and do not have the long necks and tails of distant relatives of guardian dragons It is relatively short, but the proportion of the head is larger, and the giant mouth with strong jaws accounts for more than 40% of the head.
Their wings are very powerful, and their wings are twice as long as their body. However, their front legs are almost completely degenerated, and their hind legs are thick. They are more flexible in flying than the Guardian Dragon.
The ancient Proto-Dragon has been reduced to beasts of the Dragon Clan, and some of them are enslaved by the most powerful Vrykul clan "Dragon Clan" and become the mounts of Dragon Warriors.
Those prostrate in the undead army are the proto-dragons, and the ones riding them are the dragon-slaying warriors from Utgarde Fortress in the Howling Fjord!
The number is not large, there are less than [-] proto-dragons in total, but they are already a very terrifying force, because in a one-on-one confrontation, even the frost dragons may not be their opponents.
The appearance of these reinforcements made the already perilous Stromgarde even worse.
Jiang Jie's only luck was that he didn't find any cave demons, let alone the Obsidian Destroyer.
According to the news from Patriarch Aleks, Anub'arak betrayed Alsace, took refuge in the ancient god Yogg-Saron, mixed with the herald Volaz, and occupied the underground area of Northrend.
Anub'arak is the king of the cave-dwelling demons, and the cave-dwelling demons will naturally not serve Arthas.And without the Crypt Lord and the Nerubian Empire, there is no way to get the method of making the Obsidian Destroyer. The current Alsace is at least easier to deal with than the Lich King Alsace who wakes up a few years later in Jiang Jie's impression. much.
The night was dark, and Kel'Thuzad had already issued an order for a strong attack. The few remaining frost dragons and gargoyles flew towards Stromgarde, and the warriors of the dragon clan also flew into the sky on the proto-dragon. Flew over at night.
"Lord, you must not let those guys enter the city! Otherwise, I don't know how many people will die!" Jiang Jie said coldly.
"Don't worry, Nicholas, the Wildhammer Gryphon Knight is a dragon killer. He can kill red dragons and frost dragons, and he can also kill these mindless beasts! I don't know how many brothers will die this time. There are not enough dragon corpses, and these proto-dragons after the war are all ours!"
Falstad gave an order, and three hundred Wildhammer Gryphon Knights flew into the sky.
The sky belongs to them!
On the ground, tens of thousands of undead launched an attack, and the ones rushing forward were the terrifying natural disaster giant and the undead vrykul "Yimia". It only takes a few sticks to break through the city gate, even the city wall may not be able to block it!
There are also huge stones weighing hundreds of kilograms on their backs. It looks like they are going to hit the city wall directly and break through the city wall with a huge impact.
"Catapult, get ready!"
With Jiang Jie's order, Blank Heixin and the other earth spirits threw large stones onto the catapult one after another.
The relationship between Stromgarde and Ironforge and Gnomeregan is very general. There are no muskets or artillery, only these primitive catapults, and they are dilapidated.
After the earth spirits arrived, Jiang Jie immediately ordered them to repair the catapults and make more catapults while building the city wall.
The strength of the earth spirit alone was not enough, Jiang Jie had to mobilize more than [-] people of Stromgarde.The Arathi people are straightforward and tough, and many of those who are still in the city plan to live and die with the city. Hearing Jiang Jie's call, they immediately acted, felling trees and moving stones.
In less than a week, hundreds of catapults were produced, which are the most powerful defense equipment of Stromgarde.
A dense army of undead rushed over.
The two sides of Stromgarde are mountains and the sea, and only one third of them are plains.Thanks to this terrain, otherwise the pressure to defend the city would be even greater.
"Launch!" Jiang Jie ordered again.
Whoosh!
Whoosh whoosh!
When huge boulders weighing hundreds of kilograms, or even two to three hundred kilograms, were projected, any undead hit by them would surely die. No matter whether it was a natural disaster giant or an undead vrykul, it was impossible to stop them.
The ground is very hard, but when the boulder hits the ground, it can smash out a huge crater two or three meters deep. The impact force is ten times more terrifying than the Storm Hammer of the Wildhammer Griffon Knight. I am afraid that even the crypt lord Anub'arak is here , and cannot withstand an attack.
The moving speed of the undead is not fast, even if it is fast, there is no way to dodge, because there are too many undead, densely packed, shooting with eyes closed can kill many undead, no need to aim at all!
But it's better to be sure than not.
The few remaining court mages in Stromgarde, as well as the few folk mages mobilized and recruited by Jiang Jie, followed Jiang Jie's instructions and used the simplest lighting spells, such as flash bombs, to illuminate the sky and the city walls. Illuminates the undead army below.
The calculation method of the earth spirits is very accurate, and they operate it personally, aiming at the natural disaster giants and undead vrykul who are the most threatening to the city wall. They launch up to five or six times, and one of them will always hit them, and one hit will definitely kill one. The offensive of the undead army was abruptly contained.
Almost all the Scourge giants and undead vrykul were killed, and Archmage Angela also contributed to them.
Meri has been staring at Kel'Thuzad, and she is the only one who can deal with those Scourge giants and undead vrykul from a distance.
Seeing this scene, Jiang Jie breathed a sigh of relief.
After killing these guys, the pressure on defending the city will be reduced a lot.
However, there were still some Scourge giants and undead vrykul who rushed under the city wall and directly hit the city wall.
Stromgarde is the oldest city of mankind. It has been built many times in 2800 years. The city wall is getting higher and thicker. Now it is 20 meters high and ten meters thick.This level of impact may break a big hole in the city wall three or four meters away, but it is impossible to break through the ten-meter-thick city wall, absolutely impossible.
But the city wall was really broken, because Jiang Jie heard a violent explosion!
The explosion came from the bodies of the Scourge Giants and the Undead Vrykul. Bombs were actually installed in their bodies, and they exploded under the huge impact force, blowing out several gaps in the city wall.Some guarding soldiers and earth spirits who had no time to evade fell down together with the catapult, not knowing whether they were alive or dead.
Fortunately, the catapult was powerful enough, and Jiang Jie immediately ordered his warriors to block the gap, so that no undead rushed into the city.
A large number of boulders are piled up on the city wall, but there is always a time when they run out.
The catapult alone blocked the attack for 10 minutes.
Twenty or ten minutes later, more undead finally came under the city wall and swarmed towards the gap in the city wall.
