Chapter 996 - Fire

In the sky, outside the complex magic circle, there are hundreds of faintly visible veins of various sizes. These symbolize that Eregos is frantically extracting elements from a brand new magic net to support the operation of these powerful magic circles.

In fact, he was not the only one to benefit.

At this moment, a bright river of arcane light was hanging upside down over the entire Borean Tundra. It stretched across the sky where the cold wind was howling, like a long river flowing with countless amethysts, emitting dazzling light.

With its support, the combat power of these blue dragons has more than doubled! ?

The Warsong Orcs near Warsong Fortress suffered a devastating blow.

Amid the loud explosions, many orcs on the watchtowers were blown away with a "bang", falling from great heights and turning directly into large red and green meat patties.

The soldiers below the fortress who were not so lucky were either thrown dozens of meters away by the violent explosion and fell heavily on the rugged slope, or had their heads cut in half by a piece of wood debris, or had their bodies pierced by dozens of pieces of wood or iron slag. They did not die on the spot, but had to endure the torture before death for a while.

In the wild, Garrosh caught a Forsaken mage running around with great difficulty. It was a communicator. He grabbed the collar of this thin bone and said, "Where is the Alliance!? Aren't those skinny guys claiming to be our allies? Now their allies have betrayed. Did they betray them too?"

The Forsaken mage was in extreme pain, and although he felt no pain, he still struggled hard. He was embarrassed by Garrosh's rough approach: "Wyrmrest Temple, the Alliance, and the Horde announced an hour ago that the blue dragon king Malygos was corrupted and fallen, and is now an enemy. You ran too far, and we can't find you at all."

Garrosh was furious.

Because this means that he will most likely be held responsible.

He had no regrets, as it was a 'normal' hunt for the clan.

In Nagrand, such a large-scale hunt must be carried out at least once a week, otherwise the people in the Horde will starve.

"No--" Garrosh screamed at the top of his lungs: "This is all the fault of the Alliance! This is a trap! They put us here to lure us on purpose! It turns out that despicable foreigners cannot be trusted--"

Garrosh roared.

He had no idea that when he was venting his anger and roaring, he had accidentally said at least one thing correctly...

The Forsaken mage said bitterly: "Wyrmrest Temple is not under the jurisdiction of the Alliance. If the blue dragon king goes crazy and challenges Arthas, even Alexstrasza can't stop him. This matter has nothing to do with the Alliance, not to mention that the Alliance has also been attacked on a large scale."

He was expressing the view held by most people, and it was indeed correct in principle.

the Alliance army has a faster response than the Horde because in addition to magic communications directly to the squadron, the Alliance also has multiple rapid communication systems.

In addition to the psychic owl communications of the night elves, there is also divine communication that can only be used between members of the Sisterhood of Elune.

After magic communication became chaotic and intermittent because Malygos created a second magic network, divine communication became the most effective and fastest way. Unfortunately, there are too few priestesses who are capable of divine communication, and only high-level priests can do it. This thing is not useful unless it is a critical moment.

What the Alliance is testing is the telegram.

After diesel engines became popular, Duke spent a lot of effort to develop and promote electromagnetic induction generators. It is not difficult to generate electricity by rotating electromagnetic coils. Anyone with a bachelor's degree in engineering can do it.

With the advent of electricity, the 'invention' of the telegraph became inevitable.

The problem now is the attenuation of power and the heat generated during power transmission.

Duke understands the principle of high-voltage power transmission and then using substations to reduce the voltage for civilian use. However, to put it into practical application, it still requires a lot of practice and experiments.

At the moment when Duke's magic network was challenged, it was indeed a good time to launch the telegraph system. The closer to Malygos' lair, the Nexus, Duke's magic network became less efficient. Of course, the part of the magic network that Duke concentrated on protecting was still functioning well, such as the two large fulcrums of Naxxramas and the Fortress of Valor.

the Alliance's communication system did not collapse, so its natural defense was extremely efficient.

In the magic mirror, when Duke saw the blue dragons flying from the horizon, he couldn't help but complain: "Who gave them the courage to challenge us?"

Duke then added in a low voice: "I bet it's not Fish Leong..."

Seeing those blue dragonlets that were not even dragon babies, Brann Bronzebeard sighed: "This is definitely a feast for those mages in Dalaran."

Dragon remains are rare and precious, not to mention the magical blue dragon scales, fur and limbs. Because of the good relationship with the Wyrmrest Temple, except for the second battle of the Dark Gate, when the red dragon army was enslaved by the Horde, Dalaran and Duke plundered a wave of red dragon materials, there will never be such a good opportunity again.

Today, a piece of high-quality dragon skin covering about one square meter can be sold for ten thousand Arathor gold coins.

After sighing, Brann said loudly: "Prepare to use artillery to tell those big lizards that the wrath of mortals is too hot for them to bear!"

"Oh——" The soldiers below all showed an inexplicable state of excitement.

Led by an ancient dragon-level blue dragon, more than ten adult blue dragons led hundreds of young dragons, and nearly ten thousand dragonflies spread their wings, riding the strong wind, and were sweeping in from ten kilometers away.

Although they were still far from the attacking distance of the blue dragons, the arcane river of light and shadow swaying in the void beyond their backs had already made the soldiers of Naxxramas realize that if they only measured their attack power based on their size, they would definitely suffer a great loss.

The group of blue dragons moved faster than expected. In just a few blinks of an eye, the blue dots on the horizon grew larger.

Although still out of sight, with the help of the high-magnification periscope, the Alliance gunners could even see the scales on their wings clearly.

The deep blue eyeballs in the eye sockets and the long dragon teeth interlaced with canine teeth make people feel even more uncomfortable.

This is the case with Naxxramas, and the Valiance Fortress is facing a similar situation.

At this time, Duke's voice was heard on the front line of the entire alliance army.

"Twenty-three years ago, during the Second Battle of the Dark Gate, I led your fathers and an army of two hundred thousand soldiers to the Thoradin Wall, unable to move forward, all because of the rampage of an ancient red dragon. Twenty-three years later, we are facing even more exaggerated opponents. But I want to say that with the development of technology, mortals have truly stepped onto the world stage. We have artillery! We have airships! We have the power to destroy all evil! Therefore, I hope that everyone will show these guys who dare to go against the tide of history what technology is-"

"All troops, listen up—fire in order!"
