Countless soldiers of the Allied Army witnessed this scene.
Everyone's mouth was unconsciously half open as they sighed in astonishment.
This was a grand scene that only existed in epics. Even though Duke's generosity had refreshed their knowledge time and time again, but every time, they would still be fiercely shocked.
"Duque …" On the frozen throne, Arthas let out a voice filled with incomparable resentment.
At this moment, how could he not know what Duque was planning?
The combined energy of the five mana veins was indeed unable to reduce the overwhelming mana of the Ice Crown Fortress, but with the addition of the two floating cities, it was a different story.
As the two most important mana nodes of the Magic Net, the Dalajan and Naxxramas were not only the mana hubs under Duque's control, but also the largest mana storage, and an important connection between the four major Elemental Realms.
Arthas could never have imagined that Duque could actually connect these two unrelated mana nodes with the mana veins to form a huge magic array, which in turn surpassed the transcendent status of the Ice Crown Fortress.
In the sky, the huge Titan Runic Magic Array emitted a dazzling brilliance. Finally, all the mana condensed into a pillar of light that would take about ten people to wrap their arms around, and fiercely fell from the sky, pressing down on the Ice Crown Fortress.
The moment before the pillar of light hit the Ice Crown Fortress, Arthas refused to let his efforts go to waste, because this fortress at the top of the snowy mountain was the symbol of his control over this land of ice and snow, and even the future of the entire land.
On the dark black castle, there was an uncomfortable pale light, and an even thicker white pillar of light rose against the sky, colliding with the purple and blue pillar of light falling from the sky.
At first, the white light strongly counterattacked, once raising the position of the collision to two kilometers above the castle. But as the magic array continued to descend more abundant and purer mana, the white light was once again suppressed. Finally, two terrifying pillars of light, one purple and one white, condensed about five hundred meters above the fortress, forming a state of mutual exhaustion.
"Squeak —"
It was hard to describe this sound with words, but it could only be said that it was more like the sound of electricity.
In the command room of Naxxramas, Duque was expressionless.
He had already handed over the maintenance of the magic array to a few of his subordinates. He believed that Cadgar, Jaina, and Kael 'thas, these veteran powerhouses, would not disappoint him.
Duque raised his right arm up high and brought it down heavily with a knife-hand posture.
"Fire!"
In the command room, in close to a hundred large and small images, each cannon let out its own unique roar.
The continuous explosions of the cannons condensed into a ball in the air. It sounded like the entire Frozen Mountain Range had suddenly collapsed. The terrifying feeling of the entire mountain shaking left all the Alliance soldiers dumbfounded.
Even though they were wearing earplugs, the rumbling sounds that they associated with the scene still made every gunner feel like they were temporarily deafened.
That ear-piercing buzzing sound made his brain feel like it was splitting apart.
In front of the Ice Throne, the Dragon Lich Malygos glanced at his master and snorted coldly.
"Roar —"
On the outer wall of the Ice Crown Fortress, every relief, every terrifying sculpture, came to life. They turned into gargoyles powered by dark magic, or obsidian statue guardians.
They flapped their heavy wings, and under the drive of magic, they rode the wind elements beneath them and quickly flew into the air.
With their stone bodies that had nothing to do with life, they welcomed the torrential rain of cannonballs.
"Rumble —" A series of explosions, one after another, formed a huge chain of explosions, connecting from the leftmost end of the Alliance soldiers' field of vision to the rightmost end.
If they didn't turn their necks, no one could see the entire scene.
"Keep shooting! Don't stop! Keep shooting! Don't be afraid even if your chamber explodes! "Bu Laing Bronzebeard ordered fiercely.
Malygos quickly discovered that this kind of meat shield tactic could not last long.
The gargoyles could still take the cannonballs with a caliber of less than 200mm and perish together with them.
The cannonballs above 200mm tended to have a faster initial velocity, and with too many cannonballs, it became more and more chaotic to deal with.
Moreover, the Alliance's cannonballs were pouring down like they were free, and the number of gargoyles that could be mobilized was decreasing.
"Bang, bang, bang!" More and more cannonballs began to explode on the magic shield of the Ice Crown Fortress.
The so-called magic shield was never an absolute defense. It was nothing more than using energy to offset the external impact and energy. When there was too much external energy, or the impact per unit area was too strong, the shield would break.
Everyone could see that if this continued, the Ice Crown Fortress would not last long and would be hit directly by the cannonballs.
"Your Majesty, please make a decision!" Anastrian lowered his ice skull and bowed deeply.
"No! I'm not willing — "Arthas's ferocious roar contained too much unwillingness.
"Your Majesty, please make a decision!" Anastrian emphasized again.
"Fine! I'll listen to you this time. I'll definitely make Duke Marcus and his damn alliance pay the price of destruction. I'll make them all crawl in front of me like dogs. "Arthas was practically roaring these words.
Outside, Bu Laing was absolutely confident that if Arthas did not do anything, the entire Ice Crown Fortress would be drowned by modern cannons.
The [Gustav] with an 800mm caliber could definitely cut this ugly fortress into half.
Seeing that the magic shield of the Ice Crown Fortress was showing signs of collapsing, the huge fortress suddenly fell into a trance. As if separated by a layer of hazy mist, the entire fortress looked illusory.
"Boom, boom, boom!" The cannons that had never stopped continued to pour cannonballs.
Something strange happened!
The moment the huge cannonballs touched the mist, they suddenly slowed down.
The cannonballs that could only be seen with the naked eye all slowed down as if they had fallen into an extremely viscous paste. Their speed became slower and slower. Finally, in front of an unknown mysterious force, they were crushed and exploded. Even if they exploded, the range of the explosion was very small. At most, the flames and shrapnel of the explosion could only reach a meter away.
Then, the entire cannonball disappeared without a trace.
"What … What the hell is this?"
In the sky, there was no longer white light fighting against the purple and blue cannonballs of the giant Titan Rune Magic Formation. When the terrifying energy of the Titan, which should theoretically be able to destroy heaven and earth, crashed down, it merely caused the entire fortress to fluctuate in confusion.
It was like a ripple caused by a small stone thrown into a calm lake.
That was all.
