Chapter 470: Take the Dark Gate
The commander was killed on the spot by the enemy. If it were an army of normal intelligent creatures, they would have fled in all directions at this moment.
But demons are obviously not normal creatures. They are a group of complete lunatics who have no idea what fear is.
In other words, they themselves are the embodiment of fear!
A steady stream of demonic armies gathered together and swarmed towards the Dark Gate, trying to block the charging momentum of the super heavy cavalry and retake the Dark Gate.
But facing the obsidian centaur's flying iron hooves, the demon army's interception is meaningless!
In front of the Obsidian Centaur, which weighs hundreds of tons and is as large as a small land battleship, it is obviously unrealistic to confront them head-on.
There is no other possibility for the demon army blocking the charge route than to be trampled to pieces by those super heavy cavalry.
This super heavy cavalry, with less than a hundred riders, did not knock down the opponent wherever it went, but directly trampled them underfoot.
Demon Guards, the main force in land warfare, will end up dead if they get kicked.
Powerful demons like the Doom Guard are a little better, but they only have a breath left, and they may be hit by the Obsidian Centaur in the second row.
Zhang Weidao stood on the shoulder of one of the obsidian centaurs. When he saw where the doomsday guards were clustered, he would activate countless golden daggers to shoot towards that place.
Kill or disperse all the powerful demons gathered together to ensure that there will be no trouble on your side's charge route.
Facing this almost endless army of demons, it is obviously impossible to kill them all with the obsidian centaurs with less than a hundred riders, and more troops must be mobilized.
Just when Zhang Weidao wanted to return to the Dark Gate to summon more troops, giants began to teleport over from the Dark Gate. It seemed that someone over there was directing them to come for support.
Fuzluk and the other giants took the lead, and power armor warriors and steam tanks also began to pass through the Dark Portal on the other side of Azeroth.
Seeing the steam tanks teleporting over one after another, and the power armor warriors teleporting over a dozen at a time, it was obvious that Irene had repaired the Dark Portal again, otherwise there would not be such a fast teleportation speed.
The first time the mountain giants and power armor warriors were teleported over, they cleared away the remaining demon army near the Dark Portal and began to escort the steam tanks to the main battlefield ahead, preparing to pour firepower on the frontal battlefield.
Facing the demon army that attacks the Obsidian Centaur formation like a tide, only large-scale artillery bombardment and large-scale spell clearing can effectively produce the effect of changing the situation of the battle.
The mountain giants, who had never experienced the thermal weapon combat mode, were like a group of bumpkins, following the power armor warriors with certain experience, and gathered next to the first batch of steam tanks that entered the Dark Portal.
These mountain giants, who are as big as three-story buildings, stand in front of the five-meter-high steam tank, just like ordinary people and small electric cars.
Two war weapon-level existences that are quite large in size look very incompatible when placed together, a bit like a giant monkey riding a children's bicycle.
Although there is a big gap between the size of the steam tank and the giant, the short-barreled cannon on it that reaches the level of a giant cannon can still make the mountain giants burst with curiosity.
Even with the size of a giant, one can still feel some threat from above when they see the cannon barrel that is about as thick as their wrist.
This is indeed the case. If they were hit by a 600mm armor-breaking round, they would definitely be blown up on the spot!
Of course, the premise is that the mountain giants stand still. Otherwise, facing the slowly falling cannonballs, if they take a casual step, the cannonballs will fall on their sides, and at most they will be blown away.
These powerful creatures that are not flesh and blood are highly resistant to all kinds of damage. This is also the direction that many powerful races are researching.
But no race can catch up with creator-level gods like Titan in this aspect.
Sargeras, a former Titan, only developed inferior giants such as Hellfire Giants after his fall.
However, as a thug-type Titan, it is not easy for Sargeras to guide the Morg demon technicians to create a hellfire giant!
He is just a thug whose brain is full of muscles. How much of the Titan's true abilities can you expect him to inherit?
Being able to truly create a puppet creature, even a mentally retarded puppet creature, is much better than a copycat creature like Zhang Weidao.
This is not a question of whether it is great or not, but it is a real creation created from scratch!
Just when the steam tanks arrived at the main battlefield and began to use high-explosive bombs to bombard the battlefield, creating craters as big as basketball courts one after another, the Eredar Demon Mage who came from the fortress group in the west also rushed to the edge of the battlefield.
.
As one of the few non-native demons in the Burning Legion who can think about the battle situation, the eredar demon mage immediately began to cast spells to summon the hellfire giants when he arrived on the battlefield, preparing to bomb the obsidian centaurs on the battlefield ahead.
Eredar demon mages are quite wealthy demons. Of course, this wealth is not about how much money they have, but about the weapons of war they have on them.
Unlike ordinary demons who obtain supplies and use them immediately to enhance their strength and enjoy themselves, these demon mages like to exchange part of the supplies for Hellfire Stones.
Hellfire Stones are props for summoning Hellfire Giants. In fact, it is inappropriate to call them props. These stones are completely Hellfire Giants that have been compressed and stored in space.
The average eredar demon mage only has one or two hellfire stones on his body, which is already an amazing person.
As a traitor to the planet Draenor that led the Burning Legion to invade, Gul'dan was rewarded by Kil'jaeden, the leader of the Burning Legion, and his final possessions were only seven or eight Hellfire Stones.
But there are exceptions to this. Among the eredar demon mages, there are also some who are very successful and spend a lot of money at every turn.
Many times, having a relationship is so awesome!
Those who would throw a bunch of hellfire stones at every turn, such as the eredar demon mage who appeared in Karazhan.
Being able to throw so many Hellfire Stones at once, that guy definitely didn't save his fortune by himself, and he might even get to know Kil'jaeden and Archimonde.
But so what if they were related? In the end, Zhang Weidao was not beaten to death, but those Hellfire Stones were in vain.
The Eredar Demon Mage obviously didn't know how valuable the Hellfire Stone in their hands was to Zhang Weidao.
They still followed the normal battle process, spending mana to open a passage to high altitude, then activating the Hellfire Stone and throwing it in.
As the eredar demon mages finished casting their spells, miserable green meteors appeared in the sky, trailing long tail flames and falling towards the ground.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Weidao grinned, these guys are delivering goods to your door!
He pointed at the miserable green meteors that were falling in the sky: "The steam tank switches to air defense mode and intercepts those hellfires in the sky!"
After receiving Zhang Weidao's instructions, the steam tank commander quickly pressed the button to switch to air defense mode.
The loading equipment originally used to load giant artillery shells was separated from the middle and stretched to both sides, revealing the close-in defense guns underneath.
The effective range of these close-range defense guns reaches five thousand meters, and the maximum range exceeds tens of thousands of meters, which can completely kill all similar types of equipment on the earth.
With such a high effective range, it is obviously inappropriate to rely on the driver's eyes for aiming.
At this time, those radar vehicles dragged onto the battlefield by steam tanks came in real use.
With the support of information provided by the radar vehicle, the close-in defense artillery began to lock on the target in batches, and at the same time, the barrel began to rotate to warm up before shooting.
The close-range defense guns of hundreds of steam tanks locked onto those dozen green fire meteors, which was obviously a sure thing.
When those hellfire meteors entered the effective range, hundreds of close-in defense guns fired like tearing cloth, which lasted for about two or three seconds, and then stopped shooting soon.
Even though it only lasted for such a short period of time, the hellfire giants who were preparing to attack ground targets were already riddled with holes in the bombardment.
The original trajectory of the hit after aiming at the target also deviated, and it hit the edge of the originally planned battlefield.
Although the caliber of the close-range anti-cannon shells is only 30mm, it cannot cause fatal damage when hitting the hard rock body of the Hellfire Giant, but it cannot withstand such a large amount!
The Hellfire Giant's body is not tough enough to completely ignore 30mm artillery shells.
After withstanding the intensive bombardment of at least thousands of artillery shells, although it was not completely penetrated, it was still scarred, with bullet holes and cracks all over the body.
The hellfire giants in this state crashed to the ground, and the huge impact instantly completely disintegrated them. Countless flaming rubble swept away the surrounding demon soldiers.
Although evil energy flowed in everyone's body, they were hit by the flaming gravel containing evil energy, and they were still dying.
The nature of the energy does not guarantee that the damage will be completely ignored, just like a pedestrian who is hit by a suicide who jumps from a tall building will definitely die.
The bombardment of these hellfire giants not only helped Zhang Weidao eliminate thousands of enemies, but also donated their precious soul cores.
Zhang Weidao ingested the dozens of soul cores from the air, and laughed so hard on the spot that he couldn't even open his mouth from ear to ear.
"Great! Let's continue the attack and see if those demon mages still have stocks!"
