Chapter 1018 - Flame Beast

Magic eyes had been installed on every driver's seat for video surveillance. When Duke saw Tirion driving a tank to block the charge of the flaming beast, he wanted to strangle him to death.

Calia also suffered minor internal injuries and was bleeding from the nose.

Fortunately, Calia has been a professional for many years. After passing the heroic level, her physical fitness has made a qualitative leap. If she was still the delicate little princess back then, she would have died of internal shattered organs long ago.

"Tirion! Damn it, where's the kite-flying method you agreed on? Come on, you are a pilot now, not a warrior carrying the enemy's boss!"

"Sorry! Duke! I'm really sorry!" Tirion also knew that he had just acted impulsively. That was out of the instinct of a paladin.

He is not a person, but the commander of a tank. His rash actions will directly affect his companions at the two gun positions.

Although the Mammoth Tank looks huge and is three stories high, it is nothing compared to the eight-story-high Flame Beast.

"It's a pity that there is not enough earth element here, otherwise I wouldn't have to deal with so much trouble with just one transformation." Magni couldn't forget the gorgeous transformation in Archavon's Vault...

"Kite! Fly the kite! Do what we should do according to the prior agreement!" Duke yelled in the communication channel.

Then, three coquettish men drove their motorcycles and sped in front of the flaming beast. Duke, Magni and Gelbin followed in the center of the square, spreading a large amount of asphalt in the shape of a circle with arcs that were almost connected.

"Whoever is being chased by the flaming beast should come over and run in circles!" As soon as Duke finished speaking, he saw a beam of light similar to a red laser ray from the front of the flaming beast focusing on Katyusha No. 3.

"Ah! It's finally my turn!" The driver was Duke's maid Vanessa. As an agile thief, she drove very quickly.

She stepped on the brakes and swerved the steering wheel, causing the modified Katyusha rocket launcher vehicle, which weighed more than 20 tons, to drift. The huge rear of the vehicle swayed left and right in front of the flaming beast.

What made Duke speechless the most was that Vanessa actually had a voice-over.

"Come on! Uncle, come and play!" The deliberately coquettish voice was so sexy.

Duke was completely stunned when he heard this.

A damned old man is here to play, could it be that a mechanical tank would also ask for mating?

I have to say, it's really hard to beat a female driver when she's speeding. Others slow down when they turn, but Vanessa doesn't slow down at all when she's drifting.

Asphalt is a thing that is designed to trap the Flame Beasts that run on wheels. the Alliance's Mammoths and Katyushas are modified to use tracks and are not afraid of asphalt at all. As for motorcycles, if you rush into such a large pile of asphalt in front of you, then don't call yourself the God of Cars in Akina Mountain.

Sure enough, once it entered the asphalt area, the four six- or seven-story-high wheels of the Flame Beast became its weak point. Of course, that little bit of asphalt couldn't stick to the huge wheels, but it miraculously created a special effect similar to slipping. The steel behemoth slowed down.

"Concentrate fire!" Duke gave an order, and the Alliance vehicles, which had initially only fought back with their secondary guns, opened their guns and poured firepower on the flaming beast with various attacks.

The asphalt that had been laid on the ground suddenly caught fire, roasting the territory of the flaming beast and making crackling sounds.

It's funny to say that the dragon race is playing with fire, but they are immune to fire. Why is it that the 'flame' beast is playing with fire and is actually injured by it?

It's so fucking unscientific.

However, as the battle progressed, the intensity of the battle also increased rapidly.

the Alliance bombarded the Flame Beast with artillery, rocket launchers, and large bombs made from pyrite.

The Flame Beast retaliates randomly with weapons such as flamethrowers and missiles, and summons more helicopter-like attack aircraft and spider tanks driven by mechanical dwarves to enter the scene.

When violent firepower was fired indiscriminately, when missiles that were as exaggerated as fireworks drew brilliant trajectories in the air, and when bombs crisscrossed the battlefield, everyone suddenly realized that there was almost no safe place on this battlefield that covered several square kilometers.

Every strong man in the Alliance is aware of his own insignificance. This is a destructive force that no mortal can resist with his physical body.

If they had not been hiding in the safety of heavily armored vehicles, they would have been beaten to pieces just like those intrusive mechanical guards.

"It's time to eject!"

The first person to be ejected from the human Cannon was Edwin VanCleef. As a thief and a father without worries, he volunteered to be the first to be ejected.

To fire from a human Cannon with a diameter of one meter, draw the correct arc, and land above the flaming beast, preferably between the four turrets of the flaming beast, this requires very precise artillery skills and good luck.

If you are not careful, you will type GG with a scream, and your life will be game over!

It is not possible not to throw people over, because the flaming beast has a special effect called Speed ​​Accumulation. If left alone, this thing will continuously increase its movement speed until it reaches 100%. At that time, a sluggish steel beast will turn into a flying mountain with the speed of a Ferrari sports car, rushing around like flying.

The best way to more effectively blast the Flame Beast is to follow the information provided by the 'traitor' Thorim and destroy the turret on its top cover to overload the Flame Beast for a short time. In that case, all attack effects will be increased by 50%.

Now, Edwin is going to jump first!

Duke didn't think it was dangerous when he played games before. At most, he would fall down, get smashed, and then call a motorcycle to pick him up.

Looking at Edwin now, Duke is worried about him.

The firepower of the four turrets was comparable to that of the Vulcan machine guns. As if it had discovered that Edwin was jumping towards its vitals, the Flame Beast actually activated its self-defense measures. The four turrets that had been pouring shells at the surrounding Alliance vehicles returned to their positions in an instant, pouring shells at Edwin in the sky.

That's a titan energy barrage!

Even with Edwin's equipment, he would be seriously injured if not killed after being hit by one bullet, not to mention the hundreds or thousands of yellow light bullets fired at him at the same time.

The dense concentration of shots makes my scalp tingle just by looking at it.

It seemed like Edwin was going to be beaten into a hive of fire in the next second!

At that moment, time seemed to freeze, and even Vanessa couldn't help but exclaimed "Dad——".

At this critical moment, Edwin... seemed to have turned on some extraordinary switch. Not many people in the audience saw how he did it, but suddenly his falling speed increased sharply.

The whole body turned into a phantom, drawing a strange wavy line in the air with occasional 90-degree bends, and finally fell on the top cover of the flaming beast.

Duke was stunned at first, then he said in surprise: "Edwin has become a legendary hero!"

After breaking through the heroic level, physical professionals in Azeroth will move up to the epic and legendary levels.

You know, there are only a few dozen people in the entire alliance who can break through to the hero realm.

In fact, the Alliance now has a group of outstanding younger generations: for example, Mara Fordragon, the daughter of Bolvar Fordragon, Lyra Stormpike, the daughter of the dwarf general Fandral Stormpike who was once stationed in Alterac, as well as the dwarf paladin Krom Dawnhammer, the archmage Ouniart, the great sorcerer Mimic, the hunter Lenara, and so on.

They are all new members of the Alliance who have reached the hero realm.

Some of these guys were supposed to die in history, while others did not start to show their talents until the full-scale invasion of the Burning Legion. Obviously, Duke's sudden appearance changed their fate. Sometimes, Duke also wanted to train them, but these guys were still a little immature, and Duke was not sure whether he could help them grow as he did with Varian.

And for no reason, no special reason, Duke didn't want to promote them too early.

the Alliance's Heroes were not too short of manpower now. Duke could have recruited some men, even Sally Whitemane. But after the Heroes, which represented the highest combat power of the Alliance, had basically fixed its members, if they wanted to recruit more people, they had to have strong skills.

Strength and qualifications are indispensable.

When facing an opponent of Yogg-Saron's level, nothing serious happened. Suddenly, there was a shortage of people, and Duke didn't want to train new players.

At this moment, Duke was also surprised to see his old subordinate Edwin suddenly break through to the legendary level.

He has changed too much history.

Because Edwin in the original history should have died a few years ago. He was forced to rebel and died from a bounty on Stormwind City. He, Vashj, Onyxia, these guys who were originally villains all joined Duke's army.

Now even Duke doesn't know how long these guys can live, and what the upper limit of their potential is.

So Edwin's breakthrough was definitely a pleasant surprise.

The move that Lao Fan used just now was a bit like Shadow Step, but it was not Shadow Step because Shadow Step definitely did not have such a long jump distance.

No matter what, at least Edwin successfully landed on the top cover of the flaming beast.

As soon as he went up, a pair of gorgeous epic daggers began to fly up and down.

Since it was a dagger, it didn't have the brutality of heavy weapons. Edwin's movements were more like a butcher cutting an ox. A bunch of screws flew into the air, and then the entire turret was disassembled into parts.

At the turret, a distorted flash of electricity suddenly burst out. It was an energy overload at least comparable to a high voltage of 100,000 volts, and no one could withstand it.

Edwin was very smart. After confirming the collapse of the turret, he ran away immediately.

After dodging a series of continuous artillery fire with a gorgeous side roll in the air, he performed a low-altitude gliding move, and without Magni even having to look for him, he "flew" to the side of Magni's car, and quickly hid in the back seat of Magni's motorcycle, enjoying the protection brought by the vehicle armor.

"Damn! Just based on this move of his, he must be credited with a merit!"

The internal circuit overload caused by the turret explosion had an extremely significant effect. The flaming beast that was accelerating just a moment ago suddenly braked as if it was stuck and remained paralyzed in place.

Duke didn't need to remind them, all the heroes in the Alliance maneuvered their weapons, opened their guns and fired at him.

On the Katyusha, the gunners no longer bothered to mold the pyrite into the shape of a rocket. That was too slow. They just made a big bomb in the shape of a barrel and threw it directly at the flaming beast.

The shell of the fiery beast, which originally had a ferocious appearance, gradually began to deform.

Unfortunately, the overload time was very short. Thorim swore that there would be 10 seconds of paralysis time, but the actual test was less than 8 seconds, which was even worse than the game before Du traveled through time.

Fortunately, the birth of High-Tech, coupled with the loading of the titan circuit, has made the firepower of this batch of special vehicles of the Alliance much higher than that of the Alliance in the same period of history.

Especially the quadruple-mounted main gun of the Mammoth Tank, the power of which, when fired at close range, is absolutely superior to the 400mm and above main guns of the Alliance's mainstream flying battleships.

Because this fucking uses the energy of the titan Rune!

After a round of joint attacks, the game returned to the routine of chasing each other.

It is no exaggeration to say that as long as the next throw is not wrong, the Flame Chariot will be defeated in three rounds.

The second Gavinrad thrown onto the turret was very steady. He first activated his invincibility and withstood the volleys of fire from the three turrets. When he landed on the spot, Gavinrad, wielding his wind sword, seemed to have turned into a plumber, and easily demolished the second turret. In the end, he was gracefully bounced to the ground and was picked up by Gelbin.

The third one is Liadrin, who is almost a replica of Gavinrad. This blood elf lord is as fierce as a tiger, and even though she doesn't have any artifacts in her hands, she has gradually been promoted to the first-line, and no matter what she does, she is quite reassuring.

No one expected that when Danath Trollbane, the fourth person to appear, was blasted out from the human Cannon, something went wrong.

I don't know if the Flame Beast has a learning function, or if it has a different attack mode when it is about to be destroyed. Seeing Danath, the human Cannonball, flying over, the Flame Beast actually started to reverse.

As a result, Danath's attack missed and he was knocked in front of the huge snowplow of the Flame Beast while wearing thick armor.

If Magni hadn't driven over and pulled Danath back, he would probably have become the first king of the Alliance to die on the battlefield after the third Dark Portal.

"Substitute! Where's the substitute!" Duke shouted in the communication channel.

Each Katyusha was equipped with a reserve of "ammunition" for the human Cannon.

In the next few scenes, the Alliance's heroes all looked as if they had seen a ghost.

The first candidate was Gavinrad, who was sent back to Katyusha again. This time, he failed to impress and was dodged by the flaming beast. Gavinrad was catapulted directly onto the towering city wall in the distance.

Well, it wouldn't be wrong to say he was shot into the wall.

The second candidate was Tirion, who jumped from the tank to the rocket launcher, but when he fired, the Flame Beast dodged again. As a result, the old man hit the surface of the huge shield-shaped wheel on the side and fell half to death.

Substitute number three Vanessa was intercepted by a large number of rockets in mid-air and could not break through the barrage of rockets. When her equipment could no longer withstand the attack, she had to use a Shadow Step to return to the car she came out of.

The Speed ​​Concentration effect of the Flame Beast became more and more powerful, and now it was as fast as flying.

"Who else!?" Duke was also anxious.

At this moment, a shout suddenly came from mid-air: "And me, me, me!"

Then a Paladin who seemed to have a tail successfully landed...

Huh! ?

"Watch me--" A slim yet fit blue-skinned female paladin swung a one-handed warhammer high in the air and smashed it hard on the turret.

Her force was so strong that the first blow directly bent the barrel of the gun.

The gun barrel was crooked, but unfortunately, the last turret that was firing at full speed actually fired a shot in front of a person who was racing on a motorcycle.

Yes, it's Duke!

This scared Duke half to death.

Because it was not a normal artillery fire, the damn shells actually circled like a left hook and happened to hide behind a bunch of scattered rockets, and even the system AI could not capture it in time.

You know, there is a second level between Mark Dooku and the calculations and operations of the system elves are definitely more than one level lower.

Regardless of the process, this was not the first time Duke had been hoofed. But none of the previous times was as troublesome as this one.

If Mark Dooku died again, he wouldn't be able to find a replacement temporarily. If there were any minor problems with the magic communication, it would not be surprising that the team would be wiped out.

"Irel! Just take down the turret and roll down--" Duke finally couldn't help but curse.

"Huh?" Irel was dismantling the turret like she was dismantling a house. She was having a great time when Duke shouted at her. Irel panicked and realized that the turret under her hammer had already been destroyed. A huge energy flow was accumulating towards the turret base, which was already a big hole...

With a scream of "Ah——", Irel kicked his tauren and made a graceful movement similar to that of an antelope kicking its legs, and finally flew out just before the flame beast overloaded.

"Fire!" Brann yelled with all his might, almost squeezing out the last bit of air from his lungs.

For a moment, overwhelming artillery fire bombarded the flaming beast intensively, and the powerful shock wave caused by the bombardment alone was enough to blow its tauren away even further.

"Ahhhhhh - save me -" Irel screamed, because she suddenly realized that she was falling into a fire belt pulled out by asphalt.

In a second, the Alliance's new dish, "Braised Pig's Irel", will be born.

Suddenly, a grappling hook flew across and grabbed the unnaturally slender waist of the Irel with incredible precision. The huge lateral pulling force immediately pulled the Irel back from above the sea of ​​fire.

This is the last chance to concentrate all firepower. If the Flame Behemoth is not destroyed this time, it will no longer have the opportunity to overload and will re-activate Concentrate Speed, eventually destroying all Alliance vehicles and completely wiping out the Alliance Heroes Group.

Duke didn't care about what was happening on the Irel. He turned on all the weapons on his motorcycle and poured a barrage of bullets at the flaming beast.

"Boom!" With a loud bang, the first and most distinctive steel behemoth boss left by the titans in Oduku was finally defeated by the siege of the Alliance vehicles with a deafening explosion.

It was not until this moment that Duke realized that he seemed to have forgotten something.

Duke never expected that the grappling hook did not pull Irel to the back seat, but instead the damn Irel broke free halfway, and as a result, Irel fell into the cockpit like a fallen tree.

"Bang!" There was a collision like Mars hitting the Earth, and the puppet Mark saw stars.

Duke in Karazhan was also annoyed when looking at the confusing display. When the display returned to normal, it seemed something was wrong.

What the hell is this camel toe-like thing?

Wait, why is there a tail?

The next second, the pain came.

The shared feeling that Mark Dooku gave Duke made Duke feel a little uneasy.

"Woo woo!" The sound of tauren whimpering came from the lower body.

Only then did Duke see clearly that Irel was actually in the driver's seat, playing 69 with Mark Dooku. During the struggle, a long blue tail was still moving around, slapping Mark's face.

"Oh my god! What kind of amazing position is this!?" At this moment, Duke was devastated. The shameless maid and mount No. 1 beside him were grinning in an ambiguous and evil way.

Without caring about anything else, Duke got mad and ordered Mark to grab the tail of the Irel and pull out the guy who was having brain twitches from time to time.

"Woo woo! What was that just now? It almost suffocated me. I thought I was going to suffocate to death..." The disheveled Irel covered his butt while making his speech.

Duke's forehead was bulging with veins, and he could only comfort himself amid the malicious laughter around him: "Mark Dooku is not me! It's not me!"

With the cessation of the Flame Beast, the largest central boss in the front half of the city wall area, all the defenders in the city wall area stopped their activities.

The first phase of the attack was perfect.

At this time, everyone climbed out of the vehicle in fear and looked around carefully.

No vehicle was intact: the three gun barrels of a Mammoth tank were twisted like twists after being blown; the rocket rack was blown to the Katyusha hanging above the city wall; two tires burst, leaving only the wheel frame of the motorcycle still racing.

The scene was as embarrassing as it could be.

Fortunately, no one in the entire regiment was seriously injured, let alone killed.

"Magni, the remaining three guys in the city wall area are left to you." Duke ordered.

The next three bosses in the Walled Area are a bit mediocre. Whether it is the giant boss Furnace Master Ignis, the Proto-dragon Fenglin, or the mechanical giant XT-002 Disassembler, none of them are a match for the Alliance Heroes.

With the strategy in hand, defeating bosses is no problem.

"I'll stay!" As soon as Gelbin opened his mouth, Duke knew what he wanted to do.

The master craftsman secretly kicked Magni on the calf, and Magni understood on the spot: "Uh, Duke, these mechanical creations are controlled by Yogg-Saron anyway. Maybe one day even if the titans come again, they will purify the entire Ulduar. It would be better for us to get it... Think about it, our Naxxramas... uh, that..."

Duke just wanted to laugh when he saw the dwarf king's hesitancy. These dwarfs were really addicted to picking up scraps.

Duke frowned and said righteously: "Whether it is the guardians left by the titans in Azeroth or us, the native creatures who spontaneously defend Azeroth, our positions and goals are the same. How can we covet our allies' things? No! We must return them to the guardians of Ulduar."

"Uh..." Duke's words startled the dwarfs, and they all lowered their heads and dared not say a word.

Who knows, after Duke finished his lecture, he changed the subject: "Of course, if we make the best efforts to make the several watchers regain their sanity, and kill Yogg-Saron before the titans come, and restore Azeroth to a pure land, then based on this achievement, the titans will not blame us for the complete destruction of the Flame Beast or XT-002 and other machines, right?"

The three dwarves went from being disappointed to being surprised. After holding their breath for a long time, Gelbin finally said, "I finally understand why you are the commander of the Alliance, and I have to listen to you!"

While Duke was attacking Ulduar, Arthas was also busy.

The Lich King rarely leaves his Frozen Throne, except for rare occasions, such as this...

"What's wrong?"

This is a special testing ground located on the upper floors of Icecrown Citadel. When the two high-ranking Scourge officials heard Arthas' question, they both looked embarrassed.

After they looked at each other, it was finally Professor Putricide, the genius scientist who was responsible for the development of various plagues, omen, poison gas and slime by the Scourge and now an undead, who stepped forward despite the possible wrath of the Lich King.

He cast his eyes towards the petri dish that was as big as a tall building. Its facade was soaked in green viscous liquid. Dozens of large, dry and white bones were suspended in the liquid, but these bones were out of tune with the surrounding green slime. They were not dissolved by the slime, and because of the aftermath of some kind of power in themselves, they resisted the slime's adhesion.

And a translucent blue dragon soul was slowly floating inside, as if it was sleeping.

He shook his head. "The damn Alliance and Wyrmrest Temple purified him too thoroughly, and his soul is already on the verge of collapse. It is very likely that... even if he is recast as a bone dragon, his combat power will still be worse than that of the previous Sindragosa."

"Is there no way? I don't need his rationality, I don't need his endurance, I just need his fighting power, even if it's only for a short time." Arthas said in a deep voice.

Another high-ranking Scourge official present, Blood Queen Lana'thel, suddenly said, "In fact, we have another method that we haven't tried yet..."

Even a crazy and ruthless character like Professor Putricide suddenly changed his face when he heard the first half of this sentence, and the dark soul fire in his eyes flickered continuously: "Are you talking about that thing? No! The power it contains is too terrifying. We can't control it at all!"

"What is that?!" Upon hearing this, Arthas became interested.

After being betrayed by his teammates, the professor could only bite the bullet and say, "In fact, when the Wyrmrest Temple had no time to pay attention to us, our excavation team dug up something interesting in the northwest of the Dragonbone Wasteland. At first we didn't know what it was, we just knew that it was very...huge...and then..."

The professor explained it in detail to Arthas.

Soon, a slightly uplifting voice came from under the Lich King's heavy ice-blue full-face helmet.

"Okay, use it!"

After saying this, Arthas focused his attention, and the dark blue eyes under his helmet instantly crossed the space and fell on Alexstrasza and the Red Dragonflight who were squatting outside the Icecrown Glacier. It was because of the cover and suppression of the Red Dragonflight that the Lich King's troops could not openly leave the Icecrown Glacier.

The only way out is through a secret passage that extends from Icecrown to the ancient spider kingdom of Azjol-Nerub.

Once upon a time, the war between the Scourge and the Spiders was very intense, because once the war went against them, the Spiders would dig holes and run away.

Despite the fierce resistance of this underground kingdom, the Scourge eventually occupied this place and massacred some of the nerubians. Now it is full of scars of long-term war and disrepair, and is divided into two forces. One part has become spider demons loyal to the Lich King, which is the standard undead nerub. The other part is located in Ahn'kahet at the bottom of the old kingdom, where another group of enemies called the Faceless are ready to move.

Obviously, destroying the undead nerubians and their tainted eggs would be a huge blow to the Lich King.

Now the elite dwarves led by Brann Bronzebeard are using the latest Alliance underground engineering equipment to encircle and suppress the undead Nerub.

It's not that Arthas has not thought about killing Brann.

However, to create a more powerful dragon lich servant, he needs to do it himself...

Eventually he gave up on going to Azjol Nerub.

"Damn big lizard, I wonder if you will still have the courage to fight when you see this thing?" Arthas' muttering was destined not to be heard by Alexstrasza.

On the eastern front, the Alliance led by Varian quickly advanced the front line after defeating the Vrykul. Now they have reached Zul'Drak and are clearing out the undead trolls.

At the same time, inside Ulduar, the Alliance heroes had already entered the lobby area.

After getting rid of the special boss, the Flame Beast, the remaining Ancestral Dragon's Edgescale was defeated by Gavinrad's Wind Sword. After being knocked to the ground, it was forcibly locked to the ground and beaten for a ton, and the job was quickly done.

Ignis the Furnace Master is a bit like Coralon the Flame Keeper in the Vault of Archavon, in a sense, he is a replica of him. However, this time, there are not one hero but more than 20 people fighting against Ignis.

The XT-002 Disassembler guarding the gate was also unable to withstand the impact of the Alliance's Beast Group and soon fell.

While Gelbin was working on how to restore the Flame Beast for his own use, Duke was studying the damaged XT-002 Disassembler in the Walled Area with great interest.

Technology cannot be achieved overnight. No matter how good the High-Tech is, it must have a sufficient industrial foundation. It is like taking an AK47 mold back to the primitive era, preparing to mass-produce AK47 to conquer the wilderness, but suddenly you find that you still need a lathe, a production line for bullets, gunpowder, various metal mines, and a smelter...

the Alliance's technological development is very unbalanced now.

They have unscientific things like flying battleships, and artillery that is close to the level of the Earth in Second War, but they can't make a rifle of Second War level, not even a rifle as heavy as the Mosin-Ganna. Basically, they are stuck in the two aspects of steelmaking and fine processing capabilities.

Many times, we can only use larger components to make up for the lack of local details.

But the XT-002 disassembler is different.

This is an unscientific titan energy-driven, almost arcane robot. The arcane puppets running all over the streets of New Silvermoon City can be said to be a weakened version of it.

Elven craftsmen with spellcasting abilities spent thousands of years remaking it at the surface level, so it was called an arcane puppet, not an arcane robot, because it lacked the key self-control, enemy detection system, enemy judgment, and the ability to respond to what kind of firepower to use.

Duke is not a programmer, so he can't write a program out of thin air.

If he were given a ready-made example and asked to modify it, maybe there would be some hope.

On this day, everyone saw Mark Dooku holding the core of the XT-002 Disassembler with ten fingers, motionless and silent, like a stone sculpture.

The three members of the Iron Council in the antechamber were knocked down, as were the giants Kologarn and Aurria. Only at this time did a sharp divine light suddenly shine in Duke's eyes in Karazhan.

"Nailed it--"
