Azeroth: Starting with Eagle Eye in the Necropolis

The night elf made it sound so easy, saying that all they had to do was hold out for 8 hours. But if they couldn't hold that line of defense in 8 hours, they would be the ones bearing the pressure.

These humans only used some petty tricks; even if the plan succeeds, the orcs on the second line of defense will suffer heavy casualties.

But they're so despicable, not sending any troops to defend it at all, just a few humans? Are you kidding me?

“We’ll see then. If I can’t hold out for more than eight hours, I’ll cut off my head and give it to you as a stool,” Rhodes said with a cold snort.

Why is Rhodes so confident? Besides the hero units in the system, Rhodes also has a large army of undead cannon fodder.

The previous battle against the orcs in Ashenvale, and the raid on the Dreadlord with Illidan, allowed Rhodes to summon 6000 skeletons at once using Necromancy.

Upgrading ordinary skeletons in the mountain fortress is free. In this battle, Rhode plans to upgrade all skeletons into skeleton warriors for free and then put them into battle.

Of course, these skeleton soldiers need to be deployed to the battlefield using some tricks, so that no one else can find out. Rhode is planning to pull off a big heist.

This sparked a battle between the Burning Legion and the Scourge. These skeletons could impersonate members of the Scourge, and over six thousand skeletons collectively rebelled and attacked the demons.

This would create a terrifying illusion that the Scourge has officially betrayed the Burning Legion. Given Archimonde's personality, he would definitely prioritize eliminating these skeletons, and might even deal with the entire Scourge.

This will undoubtedly buy the Allied forces a lot of time, which is a key strategy, and Rhodes intends to execute the plan alone.

Besides these skeleton soldiers, Medivh, Jaina, and Caponia can summon fire elementals, while they and Uther are light elementals, making this yet another cannon fodder army.

In addition, there's the guardian's lightning magic, and his own anti-magic puppets—Iron Men, Golden Men, and Diamond Legions—along with two powerful Archangels of Holy Light.

In addition, there are three powerful magical creatures casting beneficial spells, four two-legged dragon kings, and the trump card that Rhodes recently summoned in the refugee camp.

Let alone 8 hours, I could easily last 10 hours.

Unless Archimonde personally participates in the attack, but even if he does, Medivh can use his lightning to shock the old man.

After living among the night elves for about 10 days and cooperating with Illidan for a few more days, Rhodes' refugee camp respawned twice more.

The first time it was 8 level 2 Gargoyles, but the second time it spawned and was actually a rare level 7 unit. It spawned at least a dozen times in the refugee camp over the past few months.

Rhodes' refugee camp has finally produced a relatively powerful Tier 7 unit, the Titan Giant, commonly known as Titan Daddy.

Titans are just as formidable as Archangels in melee combat, and the Titan Giant is also the only Tier 7 unit with ranged damage output.

This Titan can unleash unimaginable power on the battlefield, giving the demons a huge surprise. Rhodes is fully prepared for this war.

Little Thrall, I'm not Jaina, you can't easily fool me.

“In that case, let’s hurry to our respective lines of defense!” Malfurion said.

Chapter 141 The Power of Cenarius the Demigod and the Establishment of a Defense Line

With the consent of the night elves, a large number of orc armies, along with tauren and trolls, came to Mount Hyjal to defend it.

To be honest, I have goodwill toward the Tauren clan of Night Elves. These kind big guys look fierce, but they are very docile.

Moreover, in the battle ten thousand years ago, the Tauren bravely stepped forward and joined the fight against the Burning Legion.

There are even a large number of tauren in the Cenarius Council, in addition to the tauren who joined the Horde this time.

There are many tauren in Kalimdor and other places, and druids have also come to join them. Even the Broken Isles would have sent a group of tauren warriors to help if they hadn't been short on time.

The demigod Cenarius is still alive, which greatly changed the battle at Mount Hyjal. With his powerful influence, the demigod summoned a large number of intelligent beings from Kalimdor.

"I fight for you, great demigod."

"Greetings, Lord Cenarius."

"It is our honor to have you lead this battle." Warriors from all races paid their respects to the demigod one by one.

Even the Tauren chieftain Cairne Bloodhoof came before the demigod Cenarius, offering him the highest respect.

All Tauren Druids are disciples and followers of Cenarius.

Upon hearing this, Cenarius nodded slightly, and then a green light illuminated everyone present.

"May the great nature bless you, heroes of Azeroth."

“Great demigod Cenarius, I apologize to you. There was an unpleasant incident between you and one of our orc clan chieftains,” Thrall said as he approached Cenarius.

The Warsong Clan's betrayal of the demons once again brought shame upon the orcs. Moreover, this internal strife is still unresolved. Some Warsong Clan orcs have been clamoring to attack humans again, even to kill the demigod Cenarius to avenge their chieftain. However, Thrall forcefully suppressed this anger.

Even in this battle, Thrall sent a large number of Warsong Clan warriors. These Warsong Clan warriors did not follow Chieftain Grom Hellscream in drinking the demon blood. Let them sacrifice themselves for the Horde!

Dying on the battlefield is a good thing for orcs and the Warsong Clan; sometimes you have to pay the price for your mistakes.

If the orcs want to earn the respect of all the other races in Kalimdor, then they must perform well in this war.

"I always thought you were the Burning Legion's lackeys; the evil power emanating from you was just too obvious."

You are not native to Azeroth. Prove your worth to me!

"I hope that someone in your race will be as brave as a warrior from ten thousand years ago," Cenarius said, looking at the orcish race.

In fact, if Cenarius hadn't met that old orc 1 years ago and witnessed his bravery in battle, he wouldn't have liked the orc race.

They didn't even want them involved in the war, because creatures infected by fel energy could defect on the battlefield at any time and join the Burning Legion.

Now, in memory of that warrior from ten thousand years ago, he has decided to give these green-skinned orcs a chance to prove that they can be integrated into Azeroth.

"We orcs are the bravest warriors. We have our own shamanic traditions and our own tribal culture."

"I will prove to you, great demigod, that we are not the Burning Legion's lackeys, but their mortal enemies. The orcs will fight for this humiliation," Thrall declared resolutely.

"Better so."

“My demigod, you just said that you met an orc warrior ten thousand years ago.” Thrall noticed Cenarius’s last sentence: there was a similar warrior ten thousand years ago.

“I can’t tell you too much about the specifics. You just need to know that I’ve met you orcs.” Cenarius didn’t choose to reveal too much about the future to Thrall.

If that valiant warrior hadn't returned to 1 years ago, the entire history of Azeroth might have been rewritten; this valiant warrior was a key figure.

Thrall nodded upon hearing this, but he was a little puzzled. The history of the orcs was actually not very long. The oldest record was from a thousand years ago. Did the orc race really exist ten thousand years ago?

And it even exists in EGLS, how could this be? Thrall was filled with doubt.

Next, Cenarius's reinforcements began to deploy defenses on Mount Hyjal. Large numbers of allied troops were assigned to the third line of defense, fighting alongside the night elves.

The first line of defense was originally intended by Cenarius to be a force of other races sent to Rhodes, but Rhodes refused.

Since I made such a bold promise in front of those greenskins, then Rhodes will naturally keep his word. I am going to fight the Burning Legion.

"Then good luck, Rhodes. I will draw Archimonde's attention directly to me on Mount Hyjal, and he will focus all his attention on me."

"Remember, this battle concerns the life and death of Azeroth. Hold your ground no matter what." Cenarius nodded to Rhodes and said.

“Don’t worry, Professor Cenarius, I assure you that the first line of defense will make the Burning Legion pay an unimaginable price,” Rhodes said.

Cenarius nodded and then followed the main force of the night elves to the third line of defense, while the orcs established the second line of defense halfway up the mountain.

A large number of orc laborers were assigned to build defensive structures, including crude orc arrow towers and various other defensive facilities.

There was also a group of uninvited guests in this war: goblins. However, this time the goblins who came were not the Hot Sands Group that Rhodes was familiar with.

Their name is Rustwater Clique, and they sell large quantities of high explosives here, as well as an advanced goblin mine.

Sal purchased a large quantity of these landmines and deployed them on the second line of defense.

These landmines brought a wave of nostalgia to Rhodes' mind. Back when he played the campaign mode, if you learned how to use landmines, you didn't have to do anything but mine and then lay landmines everywhere.

Then you'll find that this battle is easy, enjoyable, and extremely simple.

Unfortunately, these goblins were recruited by the Horde, and all their stock was bought up by Thrall, so Rhodes couldn't buy any.

After this little incident, Rhodes began to set up the first line of defense, and the first to be summoned were three level 7 units.

The two archangels of holy light had already seen this powerful being, which exuded a holy aura and could use resurrection skills, before. It was definitely their trump card this time.

But another Titan terrified everyone. It was 20 meters tall, wearing golden armor and a golden helmet, and wielding an energy sword that resembled lightning.

Titans are definitely the most stylish and eye-catching presence on the battlefield. Their size is even larger than Cenarius's, and mountain giants that are seven or eight meters tall look like children in front of them.

"Is this...is this the Titan Guardian?" Uther asked, looking at the Titan giant in front of him with a shocked expression.

"Don't ask Lord Uther any more questions. The Titan Guardian doesn't like having others as his henchmen. He will help us in this battle," Rhodes said, coughing twice as he approached the group.

This was the first time his little vest, Titan Guardian, had been shown to others. The design was quite cool. Before the battle, Rhode even had the three monster gods cast beneficial magic on him.

At the same time, he also bestowed upon Titan magical buffs such as Divine Shield, Stone Skin, Attack Acceleration, and Holy Spirit Protection.

This time, the Titans will participate in the battle as Titan Guardians. It's unknown whether the Titans can be strengthened by the power of the world of Azeroth; if so, that would be fantastic.

"I understand, great guardian, thank you for your help to humanity!" Uther, holding the Silver Hand warhammer, bowed before the massive Titan.

Caponia and Jaina, standing to the side, also stared in shock at the colossal giant.

From the perspective of the two mages, this Titan giant perfectly matched the description of the guardian in the records, with a body forged from steel.

The guardian, whose body was as large as a god, was not very good at speaking and was unwilling to talk to them.

"Alright, everyone, let's start setting up the defenses!"

"Lord Uther, I will summon the elementals of light with you. Lord Medivh, Gina, Caponia, and Somra, the four of you will summon the elementals of fire," Rhodes said.

This time, Rhodes does not intend to let Somra unleash chain lightning on the battlefield. This time, a large number of cannon fodder legions are needed, so the more fire elementals the better.

The mana cost of casting a Chain Lightning is enough to cast a Summon Fire Elemental.

Rhode took out a scroll of fire elemental summoning and handed it to Medivh. Protecting the powerful magic, he infused the scroll with a burst of fiery red light.

More than 220 fire elemental creatures appeared on the scene, followed by two female mages.

Jaina summoned 15 fire elementals this time, while Kaponya summoned 20 and Somra summoned 10. Both female mages have grown stronger in Kalimdor.

Rhodes and Uther also summoned Holy Light Elementals together. Rhodes summoned 10, while Uther summoned 15 at once, for a total of 25 Holy Light Elementals.

These nearly 300 elemental troops will serve as the front line.

After the summoning ended, Rhodes cast a Fire Wall and laid mines to create traps around the battlefield.

At the same time, he summoned all his Iron Men, Gold Men, Diamond Men troops, refugee camp troops, Wyvern King, and God Monster Lord.

The cemetery city had accumulated 500 skeletons, and together with the 6000 summoned previously, a total of 6500 skeleton soldiers were upgraded into skeleton warriors by Rhodes for free.

Chapter 142 Graveyard Soldiers Assemble, Permanent Elemental Bodies, Medivh's Speculation

In his own cemetery city, besides these skeleton soldiers, there are more than 300 zombies, more than 150 ghosts, more than 80 vampires, more than 60 liches, and more than 20 dark knights.

Zombies are the eternal city guards, with extremely slow movement speed; their only advantages are high defense and high health. In this battle, Rhode considered sending them out alongside the skeleton soldiers to create chaos.
