"Clang —" The Quicksand Staff struck a huge gong, and with the deafening sound of the gong, the ten-storey wall of beetles suddenly opened the largest door.
The next moment, an endless swarm of beetles surged out and attacked the allied army's formation at the city gate. It was like a huge wave crashing against a stone embankment.
Even if they were prepared, all the allied army could do here was maintain the battle line. Any attempt to advance further was impossible.
It was supposed to be like this …
"Fire the cannons, blast them!" Naxxramas' new chief commander, Bu Laing Bronzebeard, shouted. The entire stronghold shone from bottom to top.
That was the light of the cannons!
For a normal warship, it was already impressive to have a three-storey cannon hold.
Naxxramas had broken this limit.
From bottom to top, after modifications, there were a total of 18 storeys. The top and bottom eight storeys were all 155mm cannons and below. The middle six storeys were all kinds of crazy things.
Super large mortars, cannons that were originally at the level of railway guns, and even stronghold cannons. The super cannons that were originally abandoned by the dwarves because they were too difficult to transport, or because they were not very practical, were now all pulled out by Magni's orders.
It was not easy to get such a big treasure like Naxxramas, and as a moving stronghold with a main city-level portal. Other than Ilusia's insistence on Duque's order, which forbade the master craftsman Gerbin from installing laboratories in the stronghold, the dwarves and gnomes had installed all the crazy things in it.
In the end, within a month, Naxxramas had become such a ferocious existence: 2000 cannons of various calibers, the target was more than 5000. There were already 36 wizard towers, 108 under construction, the final target was 256. Among them, there were 36 wizard towers for Radiant Moon mages to oversee, and three for Breaking Dawn mages.
Even if there were only 2000 cannons, there were only 500 on each of the four sides. Its power was definitely at a level that could destroy heaven and earth.
"Fire the cannons, fire the cannons!" Bu Laing was inexplicably excited.
Unlike his two elder brothers, although he could also use God's Descent, it was not strong. Bu Laing's talent was basically focused on long-range weapons.
After careful study, he even proposed the idea of transforming Naxxramas into a multi-faceted fortress. This way, no matter which direction the enemy attacked the stronghold from, they would receive a more three-dimensional counterattack.
Now, under the bombardment of the cannons, tons of Qiraji bugmen were blown into the sky and turned into dregs. They fell to the ground like heavy rain, forming a thick mountain of bug corpses.
Bu Laing frowned and gave the second order, "All mortars will drop incendiary bombs!"
A few minutes later, the entire wall of beetles had turned into a fiery purgatory.
Fortunately, the direction of the wind was from north to south. Otherwise, the burnt smell of the insect carcasses would definitely make people unable to eat any meat for a few days.
After half a day of bombardment, it seemed that the Qila insect troops also knew that they were no match for the allied forces in the wilderness, and a large number of insects retreated.
"Advance!" Bu Laing ordered.
But soon, a warning came from the fortress' control system.
"Di di! Warning! Warning! There is an unknown gravitational field ahead. Naxxramas is in danger of crashing again if forced to advance. "
Apart from Duque, no one understood how this system warning came about. They could only speculate that C 'Thun seemed to be up to something.
"Big Brother, do we force an attack?" Bu Laing asked.
Magni slapped his third brother's horned helmet. "Idiot! C 'Thun is an ancient god after all. The Alliance worked so hard to get a floating fortress, it would be terrible if it fell. Next time, see if those magicians would let the Dalajan take the lead? "
"Yes, yes, yes!"
It was not easy to get such a powerful flying fortress. If it really fell, the Alliance's advantage would be greatly weakened.
After spending a whole day, the Alliance used steam tanks and cranes to clear the passage behind the wall of beetles. There were two huge areas in front of the allied forces. The east side was the area that had been hit by Naxxramas, and was temporarily called the Ahn 'Qiraj Ruins. There were a lot of powerful creatures detected there. The west side was the main building of the Ahn 'Qiraj Temple.
"I suggest we split into two groups! Otherwise, if we all attack one group, it will only make the other group attack from the back, "Sal said.
Magni and the other leaders of the Alliance fell silent.
It was true that the Alliance and the Horde had formed an alliance. However, in the absence of Duke, both Magni and William did not have enough power and prestige to suppress Thrall and hold absolute command in the alliance, even though both sides had tried their best to cooperate sincerely.
After thinking for a while, Magni and William looked at each other and understood each other's thoughts: a melon that was forcefully twisted would not be sweet.
"Then I'll have to trouble the Horde to attack the Ahn 'Qiraj Ruins!" Magni turned and said, "Your Majesty Jaina."
"Yes." Jaina responded, then walked in front of Sal and handed him a 30-page document. "This is the information that Commander Duke Marcus came up with after consulting a lot of historical materials about the War of the Shifting Sands and asking the dragon and Night Elf commanders who participated in the war."
Sal, Wokin, and Grom's pupils instantly shrank.
They were old friends. Even if they had different standpoints, Duque's information was rarely wrong when it came to the allied forces facing a strong enemy.
"General Lajax … Scar the Scarless Osrian? Thank Duque for me! "Sal nodded heavily.
"Please note that the records in the historical materials are not complete. These are only the parts that are recorded. For the rest, please adapt to the situation," Jaina emphasized.
Of course, she knew that Duque should have detailed information about the color of the fur on the enemy leader's butt. But the Alliance was not obliged to provide it to the Horde!
If it was the Horde in the past, Duque might have given more detailed information to preserve the strength of the allied forces.
But now …
The gazes of the three Windwalker sisters were like arrows, shooting towards Sal's back with xiu xiu xiu! Similarly, the Alliance's priests and Paladins also looked over there with ugly expressions.
If it weren't for the Qiraj insect people and C 'Thun, who were even more terrifying enemies, they might have been completely defeated.
Sal was a little embarrassed, but he didn't regret it. From the day he recruited the Forsaken into the Horde's camp, he had foreseen this scene.
The former Great Chief Orgrim and the other chiefs, plus the former Sun King Anastrian and the Silver Moon Council had all become Death Knights and Liches. It would be strange if the Alliance gave them a good attitude.
That was why Sarr had suggested splitting the army, and why Magni had agreed.
Without Duque or Anduin Lothar, who had defeated the Horde, they really couldn't control the situation.
