Chapter 427
"In the name of Holy Light!" Liadrin took the lead, shouting to the Elf Paladins behind her, "Silver Hand, strike!"
She took the lead in rushing into the soldiers in the front row, raising her long sword high, and the tip of the long sword emitted a golden light like the sun.
"Get up, soldiers!" she shouted. "The Light will protect you."
The light spread from the long sword, shining on the warriors, bathing them in the light, when the cloaked guys raised their hands again, the soldiers flinched but no one fell. .
Then, Liadrin rushed out, and a gap opened in the shield wall, enough for Liadrin and the other Paladins to pass through one by one, after that, Uther also led the other holy knights of the Silver Hand. The knight followed.
The holy light of these paladins dispelled the death cloud spread by the death knights in an instant, and the corpses touched by the weapons with divine power fell down like they had met the nemesis, cutting wheat.
Then, the Paladins used their holy light to heal the wounded soldiers and soothe their minds.
The soldiers of the Alliance cheered again, inspired by the Paladin's astonishing skill and strength.
Only Turalyon felt conflicted. As a paladin, he should be with them, and as Lothar's adjutant, he should stay here and assist his superiors.
However, no matter what, the two tit-for-tat professions, Paladin and Death Knight, were born almost at the same time, and now face to face for the first time.
The shadows and necromancers of the death knights brought death and decay to the battlefield, but the holy light of the paladins was able to dispel the darkness.
At the same time, the orcs finally seized the opportunity and began to cooperate with the death knights to continue to attack the shield wall. However, the timely appearance of the paladins eased the pressure on the defense line, and the torn holes were quickly filled by other soldiers.
On the Orc side, Orgrim had mixed feelings about the power of the death knight. Although he was still deeply disturbed by the death knights, he also recognized their invincible fighting power on the battlefield. However, the sudden appearance of the Paladins from the Alliance made him frown. These warriors who have mastered the power of the Holy Light are obviously much more difficult to deal with than the weak priests in the past, and their number does not seem to be small - at least relatively Much more for the caster.
This made Orgrim have to raise the importance of death knights in his heart, suppressing the mind of banning them.
But now, he has realized that if he wants to defeat the army supporting Stromgarde (he thinks himself) in front of him, and ensure the Horde's strategy for Stromgarde, he must show more cards.
On the alliance side, Ye Ting soon discovered the tribe's new move.
He saw many new creatures much taller than the Orcs quickly approaching the Alliance's defenses.
It's an ogre! These gigantic creatures entered the battle, and they wielded sticks like uprooted trees. The addition of these gigantic creatures immediately broke the balance of the battlefield. Even the Paladins and Death Knights had to avoid these big guys for three times. Abandon.
So, under their battering ram, the entire shield wall collapsed, and the soldiers were routed by this powerful blow. The Horde stormed in through those breaches, sweeping the Alliance soldiers inside.
"Change the strategy immediately," Ye Ting instructed the herald. "According to the previous backup plan, all soldiers form a squad defensive formation! Back to the rear and regroup!"
The herald nodded, then raised the horn, first a short one, then another long one.
Hearing the sound, the squad leaders began shouting orders at their own team to assemble their soldiers, even those who left their squad in the chaos rallied close to the sergeant with the highest rank beside them.
Teams began to skillfully form small defensive phalanxes. This was Ye Ting's suggestion for the training of alliance soldiers based on the combination of modern tactics and Qi Jiguang's mandarin duck formation. Although it was different from the large phalanxes favored by human nations, But it was still adopted by Lothar.
Now, this new training in chaos is finally doing what it should.
These temporary shield formations, formed by small leaders and high-ranking sergeants as the core, effectively prevented a large number of casualties caused by the chaos, and they began to retreat under the condition of containing the orcs.
The Horde tried to break through them, but the Alliance soldiers stood close together, holding their weapons steady, stabbing any orcs that approached.
The orcs kept pounding these squads in absolute numbers, slamming into these warriors again and again until they fell out of physical strength. Compared with the large phalanx, these small shield formations were indeed slightly thin.
In the face of crazy orcs, every now and then a team is broken, and then the whole team is engulfed by orcs.
However, most of the Union soldiers were able to return successfully.
The others in the rear were not idle either, and Turalyon and the rest of the commander rode through the ranks of soldiers at the bottom of the hill, organizing them to build another shield wall.
As each squad retreated, that wall opened to let them in, and then closed as they entered.
The soldiers then fortified the wall and then helped the other squads to get through it safely.
The rangers of the high elves were lined up behind the shield wall, and Alleria directed them to keep bowing and shooting arrows, trying to hold back the orcs with all her might, fearing that any creature that might come close could knock down the defenders.
finally
, the temporary collapse of the defense line was stopped in time.
However, the presence of ogres remains a hidden danger to the Alliance, and someone must deal with them.
Chapter 0558 Mania and civil unrest
In the previous battle, the alliance formed a solid line of defense with the perfect cooperation of the soldiers, blocking the wave after wave of the Horde's attack, so that these powerful orcs had to bleed before the steel shields and spears.
Although the Horde side continued to discharge powerful troops such as death knights and ogres, which caused major damage to the alliance's defense line several times, but with the efforts of the alliance commanders, the defense line was finally maintained, and the orcs did not gain huge gains. Victory.
For now, however, the ogres are still a big problem for the Alliance.
Although the orcs have paid a great price before, the Horde still has a steady stream of troops assembled, and more people join the fight every minute.
The Alliance's consumption of the Horde is still not enough for them to win, so they must remain on the defensive.
The top priority is to stop the ogres from getting close to the newly established defenses again.
As for how to do this, Lothar has no idea. Among the elites in his hands, the Paladins are restrained by the Death Knights, and the rest have no way to deal with the ogres. The only ones who can deal with the ogres are the high elves. The same tall arcane construct in his hand.
However, in this field battle with the tribe, Lothar was simply leading the elite troops to be light and simple. To speed up the march, these arcane constructs were left behind in the great camp at Thoradin's Wall.
In this case, he could only turn his eyes to Ye Ting for help.
"We need to do something to keep them from getting close to this hill," the old soldier said helplessly. "Now I can only rely on your strength. Use your invincible magic to find a way."
"Why don't you ask the magical conch?"
Ye Ting resisted the desire to blurt out these words and nodded.
"I'll do my best," he promised.
The ogres in front of him were not one or two, but dozens or hundreds. In addition, they did not act collectively, but were scattered among ordinary orcs. Ye Ting could not use ordinary means to deal with them.
However, he naturally has his own way.
According to the history of Draenor, the orcs evolved from the original powerful elemental creatures, rock giants, to gronns and then all the way through one-eyed ogres and ogres.
During this process, their bodies continued to deteriorate, while their intelligence continued to improve.
Compared to orcs, ogres are undoubtedly mentally retarded.
Against such a powerful and simple-minded opponent, the enchantment spells that manipulate people's minds will be much better than spells that directly cause damage.
It just so happened that not far from Ye Ting, a huge ogre was holding the big wooden stick in his hand and rushing towards the alliance's defense line. In front of him, several alliance members whose height was less than half his height. The infantry was holding up their shields calmly, waiting to face the impact.
Ye Ting concentrated his mind, and his eyes met the ogre.
The power of the arcane was transmitted to the ogre's mind through his sight.
The low-intelligence ogre was immediately affected by Ye Ting's magic without any resistance in his heart.
The ogre suddenly felt a kind of irritability from the heart, and this emotion even made him forget the battle order from the orc chief that he had managed to remember before.
