Captain Jack of Azeroth

Chapter 146 Assassination of Thornhoof
Satyr can become invisible, and often uses this to catch the enemy off guard.

They had already discovered the traces of Jack and others, so they hid near the gate, preparing to launch a surprise attack on Jack.

However, Heavy Fist brought the Minotaur to a stop when they were some distance from the gate. They took out some iron blocks and threw them over. The iron blocks bounced a few times on the ground, rolled into the gate, and stopped at the feet of the Satyrs.

The Sartres looked at these pieces of iron curiously, somewhat confused as to what they were and why they were smoking.

"Boom boom boom——"

A series of explosions created gusts of air, directly tearing the Satyrs into pieces.

After Sartre died, a thick smell of decay emanated from his body, covering the inside of the gate.

Iser immediately cast a spell to blow away the harmful energy.

Jack took out the captain's pistol and fired a flare out of concern.

After confirming that there were no living satyrs in the gate, Heavy Fist led the minotaur warriors to rush in. Angus led the musketeers and followed closely behind the minotaur warriors.

The musketeers raised their gun barrels from the gaps between the soldiers and aimed at the Satyrs who were rushing over.

"Bang bang bang-"

The muskets kept firing, but because of the minotaurs blocking the way, the two-stage shooting process was affected and the firing rate was a little slower. This gave the satyrs a chance to get closer. They rushed to the minotaurs and just as they were about to attack, they were knocked to the ground by the minotaurs.

In terms of magic, the Tauren is definitely no match for the Satyrs. But in terms of close combat, ten Satyrs are useless.

The Satyr spellcasters took this opportunity to continuously cast shadow arrows at the crew.

The Tauren raised their shields quickly. There was a layer of magic shield on the shields, which was the blessing of Elune. Shadow arrows shot at it, but they couldn't break through the defense of the shields. Could these useless materials actually destroy the blessing of the gods?
At this time, Shandris rushed in with her archers, shooting as they rushed forward. Their arrows accurately hit the satyrs. Although the sentinels no longer used arcane magic, each of them was a devout believer of Elune, and they could attach their faith in Elune to their arrows, like flames. The elves called it the Burning Arrow.

The burning arrows shot into Sat's body, just like shooting into oil. Sat's body was instantly ignited, and those with weaker strength were quickly burned to death.

The powerful Sartre could extinguish the flames of faith, but the continuous scorching arrows made it impossible for him to attack and he could only defend passively.

At this time, a loud shout was heard, "Fire in the hole!!!"

Sartre didn't understand what it meant, so he looked up and saw a piece of iron flying towards him.

"boom--"

The magic bomb directly tore the powerful Satyr into pieces, turning it into a ball of decay.

Then a gust of wind blew and swept away all the decaying air.

Iser asked, "What did you just say?"

"Be careful of the bomb!" Jack said with a smile.

"Common language?" Iser was puzzled. The common language didn't seem to be spoken that way.

Jack felt a little guilty, "My native dialect!"

Then he pointed to the platform ahead, "Angus, occupy the high ground."

Angus responded quickly and rushed to the platform with his musketeers. After clearing out the Sartres on it, the platform became the best shooting point.

Shandris led her archers to advance quickly, attacking from both sides, leaving the Satyrs at a loss as to where to attack.

In a short while, Sartre suffered heavy casualties and had to be dragged to the courtyard at the back.

Shandris led the others in pursuit, but when they reached the door, they were immediately covered by magic. Fortunately, Shandris was at the front and held up a protective shield to block the magic attack. Jack rushed over the platform and shot out two flying claws. Angus led the musketeers down along the flying claws and immediately rushed over to reinforce.

When Jack rushed over, he found that a Sat leader had gathered hundreds of Sat people and were ready for battle.

When Isel saw the satyr leader, he immediately said, "This is Threlem Thornhoof. I followed him to Eldre'Thalas."

Shandris stood firmly at the door, preventing the Satyrs' magic from getting through.

Jack took out two magic bombs and threw them at Serem Thornhoof.

"Boom boom——"

The bomb cleared out the area around Serem Thornhoof, but Serem Thornhoof was very alert and put up the shadow shield early to block the damage of the magic bomb.

Serem Thornhoof was very angry when he saw the corpses of satyrs on the ground. He pointed at the door and shouted, "Charge, kill all these enemies!"

The Satyrs immediately rushed to the door. They didn't believe that Shandris could hold out for long.

However, before they could rush over, they heard a scream from Serem Thornhoof. The Satyrs looked back and saw a female orc holding a pair of bloody daggers standing next to Serem Thornhoof, while Serem Thornhoof fell to the ground with blood gushing from the wound on his chest.

The satyrs were dumbfounded. What was going on? Where did this female orc come from?

Jack threw two more bombs, drew his double guns, and rushed through the door.

The two guns kept firing, sweeping up a group of Satyrs.

Angus followed closely with his musketeers, constantly pulling the trigger at the Sartres.

Shandris removed the protective shield and joined the battle with her archers.

The Satyrs, having lost their commander, were immediately defeated and fled into the city.

Everyone hurriedly chased after them, killing countless Sartres along the way.

Jack rushed to Garona, who killed a Satyr casually, and then said, "You attacked too quickly, I haven't even entered the innermost part yet."

"It doesn't matter. What information have you found out?"

"The Satyr leader just now gathered most of the Satyrs. If all of them are killed, the number of Satyrs in the city will probably be no more than a thousand. Moreover, there is good news. There is still resistance from the elves in the city. The remaining Satyrs are led by another Satyr leader and are fighting against that resistance."

"Resistance forces?" Jack said puzzledly: "That's not right. If it is really a resistance force of elves, why don't the upper elves in the west come to rescue them?"

Garona shrugged, "How should I know? Maybe the tree man is strong enough, and the elves are not worried about them?"

"Treant?"

Iser exclaimed, "Are you sure that the resistance force is the tree people?"

Garona was a little dissatisfied, "Of course!"

"What's wrong?" Jack asked puzzled.

Isel explained: "We planted a dream tree in Feralas, so the natural energy in Feralas is very abundant. This will attract many tree people to settle here. The leader of the tree people in the Feralas area is called Elonbak. However, when I was investigating, I did not find any trace of Elonbak. If there are really tree people here, it is possible that Elonbak has also discovered the trace of the Satyr and rushed over to fight with the Satyr."

When Jack heard this, he felt that the situation had become complicated again.
