Chapter 123 Tribal Reinforcements
The airships and bat army are the long-awaited air support for the Forsaken.
The tribe's custom-made goblin warships were incredibly powerful, bombarding the lakeshore from their elevated position... The human defenses crumbled, and Lorraine witnessed it all firsthand.
He jumped off the cliff very close to the lake shore.
On the night of the ninth day, the shadows of three spaceships appeared in the moon's shadow in the sky... one of them could destroy a country.
......
Just as Lorraine landed safely on the lakeshore, the time the teacher's possession ended.
The teacher's three new and powerful skills—cloning, invisibility, and a series of flashes and flashbacks—excited Lorraine immensely.
He also overheard the enemy's words: the teacher actually possessed magic power at the level of a grandmaster.
How awesome would it be if he could become a super mage, a hero at the level of a magic master!
.......
"Idiot, is becoming a hero just about showing off?"
"If he's not handsome, is he still a hero?"
.......
"Disciple, you've changed. You've become cunning. You're no longer the lovable and honest disciple I used to know!"
"No, teacher. I haven't changed. I'm just not so easily fooled anymore. I know you're happy, and I envy your magic!"
.......
Luo Lin was not angry when his apprentice exposed his thoughts.
He knew that Lorraine had matured considerably, and their souls were now more closely connected.
In the past, he could only glimpse his disciple's thoughts, but now that they understand each other, there are no secrets between them.
.......
The enemy didn't pursue, and the 10-minute possession experience reward from the Eye of Light expired immediately after landing. The enemy was stronger than expected, but it was a close call.
The anti-magic potion has been successfully added to the water and food... We just need to wait for the effects to kick in at dawn... Taking down Ambermill will be a piece of cake!
However, there is a problem.
The master and apprentice were unaware of the potion's potency and duration. When the high apothecary Putres gave him the task, he only instructed him to put the potion into the water source used by the mages of Dalaran...
It did not specify the dosage or how long the effect would last.
All I know is that it's called an anti-magic potion.
Judging from the recovery effects on the giant wolves Fenrus and Fennis, this medicine seems quite potent. But how long does it last, and how toxic is it?
Lorraine, the plague messenger, knew nothing...
They were so naive that they didn't even ask.
Don't dare to ask.
.......
Lorraine currently has three large vials of anti-magic potions, and more than half of them remain...
He only tried distributing half of it, making sure each well received some water... He gave some to Eileen to put in the food in the kitchen.
"I wonder if Eileen has escaped yet? I hope she's smart enough."
As for Ms. Egwin's newly accepted disciple, her nominal junior sister.
Lorraine herself is in dire need of protection; her safety is entirely up to fate...
Hopefully she's a bit smarter.
.......
Thinking of this, Lorraine shook her head slightly, never imagining that her first human companion might die a violent death because of being a traitor and spy.
It’s really fate that plays a trick on people.
As he groped his way back to the forest along the lake shore, he arrived near the ford defenses west of Dalaran.
At night, the lakeside was ablaze with firelight.
Not far away, Dalaran, hidden beneath the purple barrier, remained unharmed.
The buildings surrounding the lakeside ferry crossing were engulfed in flames. The human cavalry camp that Lorraine had seen during the day was now more than half destroyed, riddled with craters and littered with the remains of corpses and horses...
Looking up, Lorraine saw three warships on the moon.
One of the ships was bombarding the Alliance camp with shells, and bat riders were constantly dropping strange bottles and jars of magical liquid.
It will hiss and smoke when sprinkled on wooden tanks, machinery, or airplanes.
It appears to be some kind of corrosive chemical poison...
"This looks like a biological weapon!"
Lorraine was horrified; he realized the situation had completely changed. These mysterious ships were marked with white skull icons, which he vaguely remembered as the emblem of the Windrunner fleet.
Lorraine observed the shapes and paint schemes of several spaceships to find clues more quickly.
He was certain that this was the reinforcement that had been mentioned in the military intelligence archives.
......
These reinforcements were the work of goblins from the Orgrimmar to Undercity airship route.
These three spaceships are specially modified combat airships.
The cannons on board were huge in caliber and numerous, with nearly 80 cannons on a single ship.
The goblins, drawing inspiration from the Dark Iron dwarves' technology, improved upon the primitive orc tribes' magic cannons, combining them with new energy sources and the goblin's unstable technology.
By organically combining mechanics and magic, and fusing steampunk and natural disaster technology, three giant gunships, much larger than ordinary airships, were built at great expense.
In just one round of attacks, the Alliance camp suffered heavy casualties.
The watchtowers that guarded the area were all destroyed, and the steam tanks and helicopters parked on the ground were more than half destroyed before they even took off...
Even if it manages to take off, the plane's altitude will not reach that of the airship.
With the airship positioned high above, smaller cannons rained down, causing losses for the dwarf air force.
Alliance gryphon riders scrambled into the air to provide immediate escort, while orc wyvern riders behind the airship immediately engaged in battle, protecting the gunship...
The entire process took less than half an hour, and the Alliance began their retreat towards Alterac Valley...
Meanwhile, the tribe's air reinforcements suffered only the loss of a small number of bat riders and dragon warriors.
They practically beat a drowning dog to a pulp, utterly annihilating the league.
The human cavalry and dwarven musketeers on the ground were no match for the goblin gunships in the sky... They could only stand still and take hits, and when they tried to escape, they were harassed and attacked. They could only scatter and hide, and the lake shore defenses fell randomly.
The pressure on one side of the Undercity army on Fenice Island suddenly decreased, and they immediately turned around to attack the Scourge liches who were taking advantage of the situation to harass the Western Plaguelands...
A gunboat in the sky turned and followed, while two others anchored at the shore of Lake Lordamere, threatening Dalaran which was nearby...
The bat army and wyvern riders continued their pursuit into Alterac Valley, while some dispersed to various outposts in Undercity to report their findings...
Throughout the entire process, Lorraine watched in a daze, witnessing the power of goblin technology.
He was even more shocked than when he witnessed his teacher's clone technique. The three gunships in the sky were incredibly powerful; Lorraine even felt that these gunships could easily handle the legendary dragons...
"That's right, even Deathwing was brought down by these things. Of course, one or two ships might not be enough; paratroopers would also be needed..."
The teacher, seizing the opportune moment, boasted that it was time for this modern man to amaze the magical natives once again.
Although he disliked Deathwing, the culprit behind Cataclysm...
Indeed, for mortals to slay dragons, ordinary magicians are simply not enough.
The five-colored dragons are the pinnacle of magical power... To defeat dragons, cannons and giant crossbows are needed! For magic to defeat magic, Lorraine would need at least the strength of the Guardian Aegwynn, Khadgar, Thrall, or the Lich King...
Or find a powerful artifact or a counter to them.
After all, even the Great Chieftain Sassar of the World was only qualified to slay dragons because of the power of the Dragon Soul...
Rumors have circulated about a mysterious dragon-slaying manual, its full title being: "Flohr's Dragon-Slaying Techniques Manual." As for its contents... Lorraine suspects it's mostly boasting... because it's a record of the legendary Highborne sword Quel'Serrar, a treasure of warriors...
As a mage, I don't really care...
Because swords are the weapons of warriors, while magic is the weapon of mages...
.......
It's very difficult for a mage to slay a dragon, as the blue dragon is almost immune to ice magic.
The other red, black, yellow, and green dragons almost all have very high magic resistance... ordinary magic can hardly harm true dragons...
Lorin was originally an ice-specialized mage, and he was almost helpless against the Blue Dragon series of monsters... they were his nemesis.
Fortunately, Lorraine is different today.
Besides ice magic, Lorraine can also study arcane and necromancy magic.
Aside from fire magic, it cannot be learned.
Because my "godfather" said that necromancers are inherently incapable of practicing fire magic, and fire is a great threat to them... one of their weaknesses...
The master and apprentice gradually realized that a single person could destroy a country with spells of Aegwynn's caliber.
But magic or gunpowder... which is truly the means of destruction?
Starting today, Lorraine will believe in science...
Because he witnessed firsthand the astonishing power of science, even surpassing that of ordinary magic...
The goblins' originally ugly and short appearance was infinitely elevated in his eyes. He even marveled that those goblins who were not even waist-high to him were actually skilled craftsmen and inventors.
......
In the darkness, he cautiously approached the Alliance camp, which had been damaged by the spaceship.
The surrounding area still emanated powerful energy fluctuations, making one feel uneasy. When he finally arrived at the scene, he was even more astonished by what he saw.
