There was not a single Alliance soldier in the first three trenches of the infantry position.
The ones stationed there were the mechanical dwarfs and mechanical gnomes under Mimiron's command. They were either using electric shocks or operating the new flamethrowers provided by the Alliance to destroy the Scourge soldiers with extreme efficiency.
In Duque's estimation before coming to the Ice Crown Glacier, this was already an almost invincible formation.
Unfortunately, there were too many Scourge soldiers.
The seemingly impregnable front line of defense would always be broken through within a few minutes.
This was because the bottom of the plateau of the Ice Crown Glacier was almost completely hollowed out by the Spider Demons belonging to the Scourge Army.
Those rushing over from the plateau were just bait.
Soon, the real attack began.
Near the first line of defense, hundreds of huge pits that could fit a tank suddenly appeared.
Middle-level Scourge soldiers rushed out like marching ants.
At the same time, dark clouds quickly flew over from the opposite side.
They looked like dense locusts, but in fact, they were gargoyles that were even more exaggerated than a swarm of locusts.
Any attack would not be less than ten thousand.
Tens of thousands? Hundreds of thousands?
The Alliance soldiers seemed to have an illusion that the Scourge Army had pulled out all the corpses and skeletons that had died in Azeroth over the past tens of thousands of years to become soldiers.
It was no wonder. After all, in their eyes, it was as if all they could see were skeleton soldiers with tattered armor and no flesh.
The zombie tide seemed to connect the sky and the earth.
No matter how many times they faced such a sea of zombies, they still felt their scalps go numb every time they saw it.
"Boom!"
The heavy artillery at the rear of the Alliance's position began to roar. As the model of the Alliance's shotgun, once the [Type 3 Shell] hit, a small area of the air would suddenly be cleared.
"Bang! Bang! Bang! "
When the most threatening group of gargoyles attacked, all the 40mm Bofors had no choice but to turn to the sky and fire.
On the plateau to the east, the Octuple Bang Cannons and Dongfeng Anti-Aircraft Cannons that had long been prepared were the same.
Countless gargoyles were hit by the cannons and were instantly torn into pieces, falling from the sky.
However, this was meaningless. As long as the Lich King's magic power was not exhausted, there were as many gargoyles as he wanted.
At first, the Alliance would still send gryphons and hippogryphons to intercept them.
There were too many casualties.
The cruel exchange made every Alliance general's heart turn cold.
The most disgusting thing was that if the griffins that died in the Ice Crown Glacier were not treated with holy water in time, they would immediately turn into bone griffins and turn around to slaughter the allied troops.
The dragons of the Dragon Slumber Shrine could suppress the Gargoyles, whose claws could hardly penetrate the scales and skin of the adult dragons. Dragons had the advantage of crushing their ranks.
Unfortunately, there were too many gargoyles, and the giant dragons couldn't kill them all.
Therefore, the Alliance's regular air force only lasted for three days before retreating.
Replacing them were the Qiraj bug people that Duque had specially found in Ahn 'Qiraj.
Although the Twin Emperors had temporarily knelt down, Duque's dominance over the Qiraji insect people had not fundamentally changed.
Duque rarely used these insects, especially when Bao Bing played with the sea of insects.
The biggest reason was that the sea of Zergs didn't explode on a whim.
The Insect Queen was ready-made. The price for the Insect Queen to ovulate and give birth to small insects was a large amount of meat. This meant that once Bao Bing went berserk, the entire area would be barren, all the animals would be killed, and all the corpses would be devoured.
In the Eastern Kingdom mainland or Kalimdor, Duque didn't dare to play with the sea of insects. That was tantamount to suicide.
In Northrend, Duque didn't have so many scruples.
When surrounding the Scourge Army in the Ice Crown Glacier, Duque directly let the two Qiraj insect queens build nests in the Howling Fjord and the Grizzly Hills. After strictly forbidding the insects from attacking people with the Alliance and Horde emblems, the insect people ate happily.
At the cost of the remaining Vrykul people in the area and the extinction of all the wild animals in the Grizzly Hills, Duque finally got a flying insect army of a total of one million.
In the sky, the Gargoyles that passed through the dense curtain wall of anti-aircraft artillery and the interception of the giant dragon army began to dive towards the Alliance's position. However, they were intercepted by the Qiraj flying insects that were as dense as a swarm of locusts.
Often, the two air forces in the sky intersected like lightning, and the winner was already decided.
The broken limbs of the losers fell to the front of the position like dumplings falling into a pot.
This kind of battle damage that was measured in 'hundreds' every minute was a spectacular sight to behold!
For the Alliance soldiers on the mountain wall defense line, this was a great pressure. Because as the last air defense line, the Qiraj insect people, was broken through, they had to face a double attack from the sky and from the ground.
Sometimes, when they were firing, a Gargoyle suddenly swooped down from the sky and cut off their head, this was already considered a kind of luck.
The most tragic time was when a recruit was hooked by the sharp claws of a Gargoyle and was directly taken into the air with a hoarse scream. A group of Gargoyles swarmed up and directly tore off his limbs.
This was not the end. The Gargoyle was probably under the command of a Lich and was spreading fear in the Alliance's camp. It grabbed the wailing man and swung him around in the sky. No anti-air cannons were able to hit him.
Until an Elven Ranger shot the unlucky guy to death.
Even so, the Scourge Army still turned the poor guy into an immortal and then threw him back to the Alliance's position like a worm.
But now, with the army of winged insects fighting the sea of Gargoyles, the Alliance's infantrymen were much safer.
They carried out their duties and repeated the actions of loading mortar shells and aiming mechanically. They used cannons, flamethrowers, grenades, and everything else they could think of to stop the tide of the Undead Army.
In the sky more than ten kilometers behind them, the battleships began to fire.
The 400-millimeter cannons brought about a destructive explosion.
The largest area of the Scourge Army on the plateau was wiped out. The violent explosion even collapsed the tunnel dug by the Spider Demons.
It seemed that the Alliance had found the location of the frontline commander of the Scourge Army and used heavy artillery to clear the area, directly destroying the Lich.
The offensive of the Scourge Army immediately stopped.
The Lich King could indeed control any of the immortals in the Scourge Army. But he couldn't divide his attention into ten million parts and carry out precise control and command of every soldier. He could only make a general order, such as ordering 100,000 immortals to attack a certain area.
As for which bunker and which cannon formation to attack, in fact, it still required the immortal commanders of different classes to carry out on-the-spot commands.
Once they were eliminated, the Scourge Army would be a bunch of blind flies and would be much easier to deal with.
Seeing that the attack was ineffective, the Lich at the back stopped commanding and allowed the low-level immortals to be sent to their deaths.
When the sound of the cannons gradually stopped, the Earth Elemental Creatures under Alkavon started to take the field. They weren't cleaning up the battlefield, but the land around them. It was because of them that the Alliance could avoid being dug by the Spider Demons to the rear.
