15 years after The Dark Portal, Illidan lost to Arthas in Northrend and was forced to retreat to Draenor in the Outland. Illidan had been painstakingly managing his territory in the Outland.
In eight years, Vashj had firmly controlled Zangarmarsh.
There was a saying that whoever controlled the water source would be invincible in the Impasse.
Vashj used the black technology from Draenei to create a large number of water pumps to extract water from the entire Outland. She also gathered a large number of elite water warriors.
In the beginning, there were some tribal powerhouses who felt that gathering all the powerhouses of the Alliance and the Tribes in the Outland to defend to the death was making a mountain out of a molehill.
When all the powerhouses under Vashj came out, the Alliance Army realized that they were lucky to be able to take advantage of the opponent's contempt and build a small fortress on the shore early.
Apart from giant monsters like Yuslar that could only stay in the deep water, there were also the three-headed snake Garzian from the Dark Swamp, the Swamp Giant Hogarfen, the Mechanic Stilig, and so on.
The biggest characteristic of these guys was their huge bodies.
If any one of them were to fight with the heroes of the Alliance Army, as long as the heroes were given enough time, they would definitely be exhausted to death.
That was the problem — they appeared together.
Just like a tank charge, if a tank came alone, everyone had a hundred ways to deal with it. The easiest way was to go around and launch a fatal attack at the blind spot of the opponent's line of sight.
A tank charge was really unstoppable, and there was no way to escape.
Without this fortress to rely on, the Alliance Army was very likely to be defeated by the terrifying attack of a group of giant monster leaders. Then, they would be chased all over the swamp and killed one by one like ducks being chased.
However, with an extremely strong city wall, it was another matter.
At first, the engineers didn't understand why they had to add a large number of triangular steel brackets behind the temporary city wall as auxiliary support. When the Naga ordered the murlocs to fill the slope with corpses and pave the passage, everyone understood.
Never underestimate the enemy's strength and madness!
After the first layer of the city wall was breached, the almost completely sealed arrow tower that was specially not connected to the entrance of the city wall was still pouring spears and cannons out. The special design of the fortress could withstand the bombardment of cannons and heavy weapons very well. It could even allow the cannons in the second layer of the defense tower to directly bombard it without any hesitation. Anyway, the ones who died would definitely be the enemies.
The empty space between the first and second layer of the Fortress walls had turned into a horrifying slaughterhouse.
Vashj's subordinates wouldn't have thought that after the Alliance reached the city wall, they would still have the time to use excavators to perform Azureflight's ultimate skill. In such a short period of time, they dug thirty-six large holes with a depth of more than 20 meters around the inner city wall, waiting for the giant monsters on Vashj's side to fall in.
It was filled with abandoned steel bars that looked like barbs. Most of these were leftover bits and pieces from the construction of strongholds and other projects. Now, they were perfectly used as traps.
For example, the Swamp Giant Oggalfen had just stepped over the murloc's corpses and rushed over the city wall when he fell into the pit.
Between each pit was a two-meter-wide path for the Allied Army to retreat. This width was enough for the Tauren, but for the Swamp Giant Boss whose foot was more than two meters in diameter, it was worse than walking on a tightrope.
Hogarfen fell to the ground in a sorry state, and was impaled by dozens of protruding steel bars.
"Roar!" The giant, who was more than five stories tall, let out a mournful howl.
Even though it was very painful, it wasn't a fatal injury for a Swamp Giant with strong vitality.
At this moment, William leaped up high and raised his two increasingly famous Artifact swords, [Sharatol (Shadow Ripper)] and [Eremene (Shadow Plunderer)]. The two swords stabbed at Oggalfen's throat at the same time.
One red and one blue, two bright rays of light extended from the arc-shaped swords in his hands. In an instant, the Swamp Giant's throat was completely penetrated, and it went straight through to its brain.
The Swamp Giant wasn't a low-intelligence creature like the slime monsters. With its brain destroyed, it couldn't have been more dead on the spot.
Not every hero had William's attack power. Without two Artifact Longswords to pave the way, it was hard to say who would be the one getting killed instead.
On the other side, Fandral Staghelm was very unlucky to encounter the Three-Headed Snake, Garzian. This super monster, whose lower body was like a lizard, swept its huge tail, and it smashed into Fandral like a battering ram. The violent impact sent him flying like a flying ball, and he crashed into the outer steel wall of the Fortress. If he hadn't been able to transform back into his human form from his giant bear form, he would have been slapped into the wall so hard that he wouldn't even be able to dig him out.
While Fandral was attracting Garzian's attention, Lilas Windrunner struck a pose that looked like a golden rooster standing on one leg. She pulled the bowstring tightly with both hands, and used her long legs, which were second only to her sisters', to pull out a two-meter-long bow that looked like an English longbow.
Naturally, she wouldn't use ordinary arrows to pull out such a long bow. Those were the crossbow bolts that had almost been eliminated by time.
Everyone realized that it was true that high-explosive bullets were used to attack small monsters. Armor-piercing bullets were fine against ordinary Elite monsters, but the leaders that came out of the Colifang Reservoir all had a layer of water elemental armor, and the power of explosive weapons was greatly reduced.
Compared to the overwhelming firepower of the flying battleships above their heads, the more primitive attacks of sharp weapons were more effective against these thick-skinned monsters.
This time, Lilas directly shot an arrow and nailed one of Garzian's three heads to the base of a half-collapsed arrow tower.
"Roar —"
The three-headed snake leader wasn't afraid of injury, but it was afraid of this kind of attack that limited its movements. Without the three heads to attack from multiple angles at the same time, its attack success rate would be further reduced due to its slow movements.
It let out a mournful howl, and a thick sour smell flowed out of its mouth as it opened and closed. Mortals would feel dizzy just by smelling it.
Any kind of giant monster would be terrifying when it went crazy. When it rushed into the Fortress earlier, because of its large size and slow crawl, it had already suffered several rounds of full-force bombardment from cannon fodder, and was already seriously injured.
Although Garzian, as a Boss, was not a big deal in the entire Outland, this monster's dying blow was still quite terrifying. The other two heads that weren't nailed faced the sky at the same time, and the terrifying [Acid Spray] swept an almost 180-degree arc in the air.
This spray covered almost half the low-altitude of the battlefield.
