4. Shattrath Siege
In the civilization system of the Drano world, Shatas is a very special existence.
It was not like the Crow Man Kingdom in Tongtian Peak or the Ogre tribe of Gorrond, who clearly expressed his surrender to the Anblade Legion and was willing to become a vassal of this dead country. It was not like the orcs of Nagran and the Tiger Man tribe who were nomadic in the entire Drano. Although it was cold and neutral with Anblade on the surface, it secretly maintained a peaceful tacit understanding with the Anblade Legion.
It is more like a stubborn old man, standing stubbornly on the northern edge of the Taroka Forest, almost at the center of the entire Draenor world, proudly not surrendering to the Dan Blade, and occasionally causing some strange things.
This city managed by Naru is like a base camp of the rebel army in the Delano world. In the slums in its lower city, it is full of exiles from all races in the world, all of whom cannot forget the pain of the past. The lonely people who choose to fight against the Dan Blade are of course also indispensable to some ambitious people who are afraid of the world's chaos, or some cultists who are deeply hidden and addicted to blood sucking.
Most of these guys choose to spend their daily lives in Tianya Tavern, drunk, swearing dirty words, and living in the fantasy of "I am actually a hero of the rebel army", trying to kill the surrounding Death Knights' Legion with curses or other hellish things, or kill the death knights in the dark alley for a little bit of leftovers.
Gangs are rampant in the slums, and even a large-scale industry has been formed. Even the broken Sun War Chapter guarding Shatas City is helpless with these gangsters hidden among the poor. Because of the poor slum ecology, such gangsters who take risks cannot be killed.
It can be said that most of the exiles in Shatas City have actually lost hope. They just can't swallow the tone of being bullied by the Anblade. They are a group of poor people gathered together to keep warm. In the early years, some bloody exiles would organize their own battle groups to rush out of Shatas City and fight guerrilla wars with the Anblade Legion. However, with the bloody rebels being killed one by one and resurrected as necromancers, the slums completely lost hope.
They thought they were resisting, but in fact they were just living.
As long as a city has slums, it must have an upper city area. The same is true for Shatas City. On the second floor and the suspended third floor platforms of this city with three levels of superposition, there are creatures who truly hold the right to speak in this city.
Most of them were the Draenei people living in Shatas City. During the Orc War, Shatas City was once destroyed and burned by orcs, but soon the orcs abandoned the place. Some Draenei people who were not willing to retreat like this broke out from the troops of the Prophet Viren and quietly returned to the ruins of the city. With the help of Naru who returned to Draenor from the stars, they began to rebuild Shatas City with their own hands and hard work.
These Draenei people have experienced the most painful wars, so in the process of rebuilding the city, they also formed their own legion, namely the Broken Sun War, the leader of the city defense general Tilasaran, a powerful garrison officer who had begun to follow the Prophet Viren during the Argus World. The Draenei legion in Shatas City also has its own shaman and priest troops. They called themselves "Aldo" and lived on the three-story platform of Shatas City, commanded by the high priest Ishana.
This spell army guards the only way from Shatas to the Nagran Prairie and deals with the threat of several ogre tribes operating on the edge of Shatas.
It can be said that the power of the Draenei Legion stationed in Shattas City is very powerful. Although in the eyes of the great lord Terion, the Broken Sun War Clan is just a trivial existence, if this war-ridden legion is put into Azeroth, it will definitely be a first-class Holy Light Army!
The Broken Set Sun Chapter was loyal to Naru Adal, who protected Shatas City several times. The gentle and extremely wise Holy Light Naru is said to be one of the first Naru born in the Holy Light among the stars. After the Draeni people entered the world of Derano, he led other Naru to find allies in the void, so he failed to protect the Draeni people in the Orc War. However, after rushing back to this world, it and other Naru helped the Draeni people rebuild Shatas City.
This Naru is a qualified leader.
However, Adal never talked about his origin, which seemed to be a taboo, but there are rumors that Adal and its digital Naru followers had been separated from the Holy Light Legion because they had disagree with Zera, the Mother of the Holy Light, and the ancestor Naru.
The ideas of the top leaders of the Broken Suns and the exiles in the slums were completely different. These mature and persistent Draenei people knew the influence of the Dan Blade in Delano. They had never thought of facing its struggle head-on. The only persistence of these Holy Light Warriors guarding Shattas City was to stick to this Holy Light Land. They were very satisfied with the current confrontation between the two sides, and they were not willing to take the initiative to provoke the war.
General Tilasaran, who had faced Tyreon several times, knew very well that once the war started, Shatas would be completely flattened within a few days. This was not what the poor people who had fled 25,000 years among them wanted to see.
But now, in the 18th year after the opening of the Dark Gate, the Breaking Suns, who were willing to maintain neutrality, had to pick up their weapons again, because a new war was coming.
The enemy is not the undead...but a group of lizard men!
——————————————————
"Naru's warriors! Follow me!"
On the city wall where the sound of killing sounds shook the sky, General Tirasalan carried a heavy battle halberd and jumped onto the fully armed Holy Light Thunder Elephant. He grabbed the reins and roared loudly. Behind him, more than 50 thunder elephant knights also formed a charge formation. As these war thunder elephants weighing several tons were howling and began to charge, the thick wall of the entire Shatas City began to shake.
In front of this charge of Thunder Elephant Cavalry, a Lizardman vanguard army took advantage of the night to rush out of the lake water in the east of the city and climbed up the city wall at an extremely fast speed. Under the leadership of the lizardman officials, these cold and cruel crawling creatures defeated the defenders on the edge of the city wall in a violent battle posture. They destroyed the rune magic array that covered the holy light barrier around the city, causing a loophole in this large barrier.
General Tirasalan must regain the magic circle in the shortest time. If the lizards are allowed to continue to destroy, the holy light barrier that protects the city will soon collapse completely. At that time, facing the attack of the lizard men, the shattering of the set sun and the entire city will inevitably pay a heavy price.
This complex city is not ready for war, and he and his soldiers must win more time for Shatas!
"The Holy Light will win!"
General Draenei, who charged with the thunder elephant cavalry, shouted sacred slogans, and the manic thunder elephant swung sharply, blessed the ivory that blasted the steel thorns. When they swung left and right, the lizard men attacking the barrier magic circle were knocked into the sky, or rushed out of the city wall with powerful impact. General Tirasalan's heavy halberds were also chopped and killed left and right. In the halo of the holy light fighting skills, he and his thunder elephant knight were like rushing into the realm of no one, beating the arrogant lizard men backwards.
At the same time, the city defense cannons located around the second-floor city of Shatas City also began to calibrate the location. These cannons were third-hand goods bought by the Draenei through the underground black market channel. According to the military model of the Dark Blade, weapons retired from the front line legion will be distributed to the vassal army. However, in a peaceful world like Draenor, the Crow and Ogres have no place to use their weapons, so they simply resell them to others and earn a considerable reward.
As for such behavior, the Anblade Legion turned a blind eye. The reselling artillery had long lagged behind the official armament of the Anblade Legion. Even if a small number of weapons fell into the hands of the enemy, there would be no big threat.
Although these old weapons have minor problems, they are at least from battlefield killing weapons used by the Anblade Army. The quality is completely unremarkable. In the past few years, Broken Cannon has bought nearly a hundred cannons from the Crow Man and the Ogre. In addition to filling the city's defensive firepower, they also imitated some of them themselves. However, because the number of people in Shatas City is limited and the hearts of people are uneven, the expansion of the army will be left in the end.
But now, these well-maintained artillery played a key role. The formation of dozens of artillery fired together was quite amazing. The shells that were dragging long tail flames from the sky hit the ground outside the city walls, cutting off the lizardman line of support. In the roaring explosion, the flesh and blood of the cold-blooded crawling creatures covered the entire soft ground.
Between the roar of artillery fire, the unique gem weapons of the Delaney people were also set up on the Aldo Highlands higher. Under the command of the high priest Ishana, the shamans of Aldo quickly charged these gem weapons. Between the thunder or the thunder, accompanied by the rotation of the strange gems, endless energy rays swept across the lizardman's position, forcing the barbaric cold-blooded creatures back.
"They retreated! Warriors! Hurry!"
General Draenei shook his halberd and threw the flesh and blood limbs on the halberd to the side. Behind him, the Holy Light Priests who came with the army began to repair the destroyed barrier magic circle as fast as possible. But just as the Thunder Elephant Knights retreated and began to defend the magic circle, a group of lizard men took advantage of the stopping time of the cannon and rushed up to the city wall howled and rushed to the ground under the leadership of a tall lizard official with gray and white hard-skinned scales.
"Hot-blooded creature! Death!"
The tall lizard man official led a team to destroy the Lizard man warrior at the Tyroka coast pier. His name is Kugad, a blessed warrior. He is stronger and more brave than ordinary lizard man.
"Bang"
The spear thrown by the lizard Kugad accurately pierced into the flesh and blood of the thunder elephant under General Tirasalan's crotch. The giant roared by the pain and slammed General Delaney behind him to the ground. This sudden attack caught the Thunder elephant knights off guard and soon fell into the dilemma of fighting with the barbaric lizard man.
"Clang"
General Tirasalan, who had climbed up from the ground, threw away the heavy battle halberd, pulled out the long sword of the shining of the holy light from his waist, and held the shield tightly in his other hand, accurately blocking the hammer that the lizard officer smashed. The huge force hit the general backed a few steps, but between the flash of the power of the holy light, Tirasalan quickly stood firm. He used his exquisite swordsman to fight the gray-white lizard officer for a moment, and then seized the opportunity and avoided the heavy weapon that the lizardman smashed. The agile Draeni took a step forward, and the heavy shield in his hand slapped the lizardman Kugad's chin.
"ah!"
Kugad let out a painful cry, and the blow broke several teeth in its mouth. The heavy blow of his brain made Kugad stand unsteadily. The brave Draenei seized this opportunity. He called for the power of the holy light. The golden flame condensed into substance behind him. The floating golden warhammer rotated wildly around his body, as if a sacred storm was set off on the spot.
The strong body of the lizardman Kugad was smashed to the left and right in the sacred storm, and retreated repeatedly, but this energy attack that was enough to kill an ogre did not seriously injure the lizardman in front of him. The fierce crawling creature was still roaring and swinging his weapons at the moment when the sacred storm ended, as if he wanted to die with General Delaney.
But the long sword in Tirasalan's hand pierced Kugad's heavy and tough skin first. Between the scales and flesh torn, Tirasalan kicked Kugad's abdomen, kicking the gray-white lizardman warrior off the walls of Shatas.
The Draenei general stood on the city wall. He clearly saw the gray-white lizardman smashing on the ground under the city wall. He saw the wound on Kugad's chest healing. In just a few seconds, the severely injured lizardman climbed up from the ground with difficulty. Under the escort of several lizardman spearmen, he returned to the lizardman's formation.
"This barbaric fighting posture, this terrible self-healing power... What kind of monster is this!"
General Tirasalan rubbed his sore wrists, and he won it was not easy. If the off-white Lizardman Warrior had more combat experience, he would have had a hard time fighting.
But now is not the time to consider this.
"Turn them down!"
Tirasalan turned around and rushed into the chaos behind him. Under his leadership, the Thunder Elephant Knights dismounted and fought in a staircase battle. With excellent equipment and the blessing of the holy light, they once again drove these lizardmen off the city wall. A few minutes later, the destroyed holy light barrier in Shatas City was restored, and the entire city was once again shrouded in a semicircular golden shield.
The barrier of the holy light was supported by several Naru. In theory, the lizard man who lacks siege firepower cannot break it.
But this does not mean that life in Shatas City can rest assured...
"General! Your Excellency Adal called you!"
A Crow Man's messenger flapped his wings quickly and landed next to General Tirasalam, bringing Naruadal's oral message:
"The noble Naru said that there is an important thing to discuss with you. Please go to the Hall of Holy Light as soon as possible."
