Chapter 28 Roaring Whitewater River
Chapter 28 The Roaring Baishui River
Constantine is an eighth-level lich, an immortal lich, affiliated to the Burning Legion's natural disaster.
In the Scourge, Constantine served as the third chief of staff, second only to the commander of the Legion, Neozu, deputy commander of the Legion, Arces, Chief Chief of Staff Kel Thujad and Second Chief of Staff Gulenstein.
When Constantine was alive, he was one of the students of the Drano Orcs who sacrificed Neozu's golden crown to the Drano Orcs. During the years when Guldan betrayed the teacher and ruled the Drano Orcs, Constantine stood firmly by the teacher. After Neozu was captured and reincarnated as a lich by Kiljadan, Constantine also followed his teacher to become a lich with eternal life.
Constantine is a very fierce person. During the decades when Guldan cooperated with the demon to lure the noble Draenor orcs into the depravity, Constantine angrily denounced Guldan for leading the orcs to perish. When he became a lich and attacked Azeroth with the Scourge, he also publicly criticized Neozu's immediate boss Kilgardan's strategy.
However, Constantine's unflattering personality did not stop Neozu from trusting him. So, everyone who attacked the Crystal Castle was handed over to him by Neozu.
In September 1405, Constantine received an order to lead a group of mixed troops of undead and demons to rush to the Crystal Fort. This was the fifth attack on the Crystal Fort after the Spontaneous Burning Legion set foot on the Crystal Fort in 1386.
According to the information from the Burning Legion, the new lord of the Crystal Fort was Arthur Hawke, the rising star of the Heaven Alliance, who was Arthur Hawke who fought against the 30,000 undead troops in Pocket Canyon nine months ago with a five thousand miscellaneous army.
Constantine was very interested in Arthur. He decided to turn Arthur into one of the great lichs.
The Burning Legion's intelligence also showed that most of the defenders of Crystal Fort had already arrived at the Mandala Canyon to confront the feint troops. There were only about a thousand adventurer defenders left in the entire Crystal Fort. This strength was obviously not the opponent of five thousand ghouls, one thousand crypt demons, one thousand succubus and one thousand hellhounds.
Moreover, this attack was different from the first four times. The Burning Legion's first four attacks were all very popular. Tens of thousands of troops rushed to the Crystal Fort along the Hengduan Mountains, giving Crystal Fort time to prepare and evacuate. This time, the large army was feinted outside the Mandala Canyon, and a small group of highly mobile troops attacked Crystal Fortress, which would definitely catch humans off guard!
Unfortunately, the Burning Legion, which could only infer the movement of the Crystal Fort from paper, obviously did not expect that Arthur had already set up a trap and was waiting for them to get in by themselves.
Constantine seemed to have seen the burning appearance of the Crystal Castle. The human screamed at the death, the demons laughed frivolously, the ghouls who were eating on the dead, the bone spurs of the demons in the crypt were flying all over the sky, and everything in the Crystal Castle would tremble under the iron hooves of the Burning Legion!
In order to ensure the suddenness of the raid, Constantine led his army to lie out at night and marched towards the crystal Fortress under the cover of the Black Forest.
When he arrived on the banks of the Baishui River on the 15th, he had not found a human scout, Constantine knew that victory was already in sight.
"Cross the river!"
On a shallow on the west bank of the White River, Constantine ordered the army to cross the river.
The first to cross the river were five thousand ghouls. These small but extremely fast-moving undead creatures all crossed the Baishui River within two hours and lined up on the other side.
The second wave of crossing the river was a thousand huge crypt demons.
When the local demon stepped on the river that could not even cover his feet and moved quickly to the other side, Constantine, who was standing on the west bank of the Baishui River, suddenly felt a swaying feeling coming from her feet.
Then, the thousand hellhounds who were still on the west bank of the White Water River seemed restless and roared at Constantine. A few minutes later, the thousand hellhounds turned around and ran to the nearby highlands.
The hellhound's actions made Constantine angry at first, but then confused. Canine creatures have always had a strong sense of crisis. Could it be that they discovered something?
Soon, Constantine understood why the Hellhound ran away.
A white wave that covered the sky with the evil spirit that destroyed the world rushed from the upstream of the Baishui River. The broken rocks, uprooted trees, struggling monsters, and the raging floods mixed with everything they could carry rushed down from the black forest. While slapped on both sides, the hearts of the undead and the demons stopped beating. Well, if they had them.
From the appearance of the big waves to the place where Constantine's troops crossed the river, it only took a breath. As a result, hundreds of crypt demons who were crossing the river did not even show their expressions of fear, and were flooded by the huge waves.
Immediately afterwards, the zombies and succubus arranged on both sides of the Baishui River also spread the footsteps of the crypt demon.
Then I took another breath, and the shallows on the Baishui River that are most suitable for crossing the river became a country of marsh. The demons and the undead who were washed away breathed a sigh of relief and began to swim towards the uninundated heights.
However, they were terrified to find that a more terrifying wave had already followed.
A huge wave that seemed to be connected to the sky rushed over with great momentum, destroying more trees while swallowing up the hell creatures that had just emerged.
Whether it is agile ghoul, a fast-moving hellhound, a strong crypt demon, or even a succubus with short-range flying ability, they are sadly discovering in the face of all the power of heaven and earth that devour all the power of heaven and earth. They can only watch the flood subdue themselves...
"Boom!"
The god of the thief actually joined in the fun at this time. With the thunder of lightning and the sound of deafening thunder, a large cloud rushed rapidly from the north. In an instant, a strong wind blew, dark clouds covered the sky, and the raindrops as big as beans were like well-trained troops, instantly covering the hell creatures struggling on both sides of the Baishui River.
Floods and heavy rains, this day is their doomsday for the eight thousand hell creatures who sneaked into the Crystal Fort.
However, they soon realized that the flood was just a precursor. The real god of death had waved his sickle and followed the flood with a grim smile.
The artificially created waves come quickly and go faster. Three consecutive peaks lasted for only two minutes and crossed this shallow and rushed towards the distance.
The waves left, and the hell creatures began to save themselves. The ghoul nicknamed "dog" showed their dog-pad style like a dog, finding a floating tree in the water, and then pushing the tree to a place without water.
The real dog-type warcraft hellhounds are much larger than ghouls, and they can swim to safe places without the help of external forces.
The succubus also flapped his wet wings and passed through the water, occasionally grabbing several injured sisters with wings.
In contrast, the crypt demons were much more unlucky. When the flood came, they faced the flood that devoured everything. Three or four hundred crypt demons who were crossing the river were swallowing up by the big waves without even saying a word. By the way, the two sides of the Baishui River were preparing to cross the river and the crypt demons who had just crossed the river were also washed away by the big waves.
When Constantine, who had three broken ribs, gathered the remnants of Qi, he sadly discovered that there were more than a thousand left of five thousand ghouls and more than a hundred left of a thousand crypt demons. The hellhounds that escaped quickly and the flying succubus were all better, and about half of them were left.
In other words, Constantine's strength was only one-quarter of the time he set out, and he was still covered in wounds. Such an army may not have any other uses except to add military achievements to humans.
“Retreat.”
Looking at his miserable subordinates, Constantine said decadently.
"Sir, Kiljadan will not let you go."
After looking around, a death knight with broken legs and mount nightmare disappeared said carefully.
The attitude towards Neozu and his subordinate Scourge Legion, the Burning Legion demons have always been to use and prevent. On the one hand, they assigned the Scourge Legion to attack everywhere and capture the territory of the natives of Azeroth, but on the other hand, they tried every means to weaken Neozu's strength.
Constantine failed to attack, but instead retreated in a dilemma. The demons of the Burning Legion would definitely not miss this opportunity to get rid of Ner's important subordinates.
"This is fate. Whenever you think you can control it, it will slap it hard."
Constantine did not realize until this time that this sudden outbreak of flood was completely the masterpiece of some sinister human being, "This is my destiny. I admit it."
"grown ups……"
The Death Knight was still waiting to be persuaded, but Constantine waved his dry bone hand and said, "Put the army. It's too close to the camp where the Crystal Fort is located on the banks of the Baishui River. With the current situation of our army, I don't have much confidence whether we can repel them."
"Yes, sir."
Seeing that Constantine had made up his mind, the Death Knight could only take a dozen equally desolate death knights to reorganize the army.
However, the Death Knight only walked about ten steps and turned around with fear and said tremblingly, "Sir..."
"So what's wrong?"
Constantine said with some dissatisfaction.
"Sir, it's human."
The Death Knight calmed down and pointed to the lobby of Baishui River and said.
"Human?"
Constantine looked in the direction of the Death Knight's finger. Then he saw a black raft flying quickly from the upper reaches of the White Water River.
Not good! I am buried in an ambush!
The emergence of a large number of human army finally made Constantine realize that the previous inexplicable flood was inseparable from humans.
Unfortunately, with the current state of the army, you will definitely not be able to escape. There is only one choice.
"Prepare for the fight!"
Twenty minutes later.
More than two thousand scarred hell creatures were obviously not the opponent of the two thousand adventurers led by Arthur. Just after having a meal, the hell creature who escaped from the flood fell under the sharp blade of humans.
Two hundred heroes under Constantine were killed in battle, and those who were swept away by the flood, and the remaining twenty heroes, including Constantine, were captured.
"Constantine Kidman, the third chief of staff of the Scourge, demands treatment that matches his identity."
Constantine, bound by golden chains engraved with mysterious magic patterns, raised her head and said loudly.
"treatment?"
Arthur, who was picking in the captive group, stopped his movements, looked up at Constantine, who was angry and unwilling to accept it in his eyes, said calmly, "His Excellency Constantine, you forgot that you are no longer a noble orc!"
After saying this, Arthur did his own thing regardless of his facial features.
"This! This! This! That broken leg! Well, this guy who can't figure it out!"
