Make Azeroth breathtaking

Tannis's forehead was covered in cold sweat as she gripped her pistol tightly. Although her personal guard was well-equipped and had ample firepower, with each volley taking down two or three wolf riders, the Blackstone wolf riders, aided by their spellcasters, remained full of morale and launched wave after wave of desperate charges—no, even without those spellcasters, these raiders, whose greatest purpose was to charge into battle, would still charge like this until they tore apart Tannis's lines!

"Click!!!!"

Finally, the crisp sound of metal breaking reached the ears of everyone involved in the battle. After enduring too many blows from the wolf riders' special weapons, the outermost metal skin of the carriage began to show tree-branch-like cracks spreading across it.

"howl!!!!!"

The wolf riders let out a deafening battle roar, their eyes turning blood red with each shout, their muscles bulging abnormally, and their blades drawing graceful arcs in the air, striking the already cracked armor of the wagons with a unique rhythm.

"Splash!"

After enduring another round of attacks from the wolf riders using raider-specific siege tactics, the outer wagon's armor finally reached its limit. What was revealed inside the wagon was... a bunch of small boxes?

"burst!"

In the armored carriage at the rear, Tennys made a forceful motion as if pressing a button.

"boom!!!"

All the directional steel ball mines installed on the first row of carriages were detonated, and thousands of steel balls rained down on the orc wolf riders.

"...＃...%￥...%!!"

The orc who initially used bonefire to defend against Tannis's outer attacks reacted with astonishing speed. The moment the directional steel ball mine was exposed, he roared in Orcish as he jumped to the ground and hid behind his dire wolf, using bonefire to cover most of his body. The steel balls struck the bonefire with a crackling sound.

Seeing their commander's action, the other wolf riders did the same, and for a moment, mournful wolf howls rose and fell.

When the smoke from the landmines cleared, what appeared on the battlefield was a vast expanse of dire wolf corpses lying haphazardly, their eyes wide open in death; wolf blood flowing like a stream; and orcs who had used their dire wolves and armor to withstand most of the damage and still retained their fighting ability, having been transformed from wolf riders into infantry.

"These guys...don't they care about the life or death of their mounts at all?"

Watching these orc werewolf riders casually use their dire wolves as shields, a chill ran down Tanis's spine. Riders should be on friendly terms with their mounts, but the actions of the Blackrock orc werewolf riders completely trampled on the bottom line of what it means to be a rider!

“……&%&*%%*&%……&!!”

The Blackrock Orc Wolf Rider commander, who was virtually unharmed, stood up straight, shield in hand, and pointed his right-hand battleblade forward, issuing another command in a loud voice.

Under the command of the wolf rider captain, the Blackstone spellcasters, who had regained some of their mana, strode forward. As these spellcasters cast their spells, a deadly rain of fire once again fell from the sky, turning the area around the second line of defense into a sea of ​​fire.

Looking at the defensive line engulfed in flames, the orc wolf rider captain revealed a cruel smile. However, the iconic red aura of the protective fire barrier that re-emerged around the carriage made him swallow his smile.

Then, the barrage of fire from the goblins forced him to raise his shield and retreat. Although the wolf riders who had lost their dire wolves were still capable of fighting, their impact and speed of attack had been greatly reduced, so much so that Tannis and the others could easily suppress them with their rapid-fire guns. Affected by their retreat, the Blackrock orc spellcasters also had to abandon their spellcasting and retreat to a safe distance with them.

"Is this alright...?"

Watching the retreating Blackrock Orcs, Tanis let out a weary sigh. Although the directional lightning had not inflicted any effective damage on the Blackrock Orcs, the Blackrock Wolf Riders, whose dire wolves had been almost completely wiped out, posed virtually no threat to the defensive line. Moreover, the protective fire barrier had proven to be functioning well. If the Blackrock Orcs did not receive reinforcements, they could grind these guys down on their own.

In fact, it wasn't just Tannis who realized this; the battle-hardened orc wolf rider captain also realized it. Although his heart still burned with bloodlust, his combat wisdom remained cunning. So, without hesitation, he grabbed an orc spellcaster by the neck, spat in his face, and then kicked another spellcaster who was leaning on his staff and panting, shouting at him.

"Did they fight amongst themselves?"

Tanis was completely bewildered as she saw the wolf rider captain hold a knife to the neck of the third spellcaster through the telescope, forcing him and the other spellcasters to gather together.

"No...it doesn't seem like infighting. Rather, it's that the orc wolf rider captain forcing those orcs to use a potentially costly group spell."

A goblin, whose profession was mage, spoke his opinion in a deep voice. At this moment, the forced orc spellcasters had formed a circle, chanting softly, making strange gestures, and dripping their blood onto the orc corpses that had been dragged to the center of the circle.

Black smoke billowed from the orc corpses that were being used as sacrifices, swirling and intertwining in the air until it formed the shape of a gate, on which a dragon's head could be faintly seen.

"Roar!!!"

A deep voice echoed in the air, and a huge leg covered with scales that remained as black as ink even in the sunlight, with sharp claws, stepped out of the door. Following behind was a muscular hand holding a weapon, and a face that, while somewhat human, was nine-tenths dragon-like!

The moment they witnessed the colossal beast step out of the portal, the Blackrock orcs froze in place, while Tannis's head throbbed as if pricked by needles, something was being released from fragments of memory.

What is this?

Looking at the strange humanoid creature that was about five meters tall that walked out of the teleportation array, the goblins began to rack their brains trying to figure out where this monster had appeared before.

"This is... a dragon beast... It possesses scales strong enough to withstand steel weapons, has incredible strength, and is often proficient in various combat techniques and some elemental magic... Strange... Why do I feel like I've seen this dragon beast before..."

Tannis's slightly pained voice reached the goblins' ears. They turned around and saw that Tannis was covering her forehead with her right hand, her face pale.

"Miss Tanya, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing... I just suddenly had a headache..."

Tanis took a few deep breaths, forcibly suppressing the pain of suddenly being 'injected' with some memories.

"Do you know why I came here in person? You bunch of pigs!"

The black dragon beast looked at the Black Stone Beastmen standing before it, who were no longer as spirited as they had been at the beginning, and growled. To Tanis's surprise, it used the Common Language.

"@&……%&……%&!!"

Upon hearing the black dragon's rebuke, the orc wolf rider captain knelt down in front of the black dragon as it emerged from the portal, his expression one of utter terror. Behind him, the other orcs also knelt on the ground.

"Blackrock Raiders... You couldn't even complete such a simple task, yet you dared to try and end the battle by relying on others. You have disgraced your chieftain, and you have disappointed our master..."

Completely ignoring the beastmen's actions, the black dragon beast raised its weapon and slowly spoke.

“7^$^%$%^＆*!”

Although Tannis couldn't understand the orc language, that didn't stop her from roughly guessing that the orc kneeling on the ground was probably pleading with the black dragon beast for something.

"Blackrock Spire, there is no place for losers."

As it uttered these words, the black dragon beast plunged its giant blade heavily into the ground, and a wave of intense heat erupted and spread from the point of impact.

Under the terrifying impact of high-temperature energy, the Black Stone Orcs, who were only wearing leather armor, were engulfed in flames and thrown around like rag dolls. When they landed on the ground, they had become burning corpses.

"Next up are you."

The black dragon beast, having easily dealt with the remaining Blackstone Wolf riders, turned to look at the defensive line the goblins had set up with wagons. Its eyes met Tannis's, and instantly, Tannis felt a tiny fragment of memory dissolve in her mind, while a flood of memories about the dragon beast surged forth.

'Leschrel? No... this isn't Leschrel, but who is Leschrel? Why am I reminded of its 'tactics'? But one thing is certain... this guy... is also a 'dragon'!!!'

"You guys...spread out and find good sniping spots! I'll hold this guy off by myself!"

Seeing the enormous dragon charging towards them, Tannis, who had given the order, endured the chaos in her mind, covered her forehead with her left hand, and slammed her right hand heavily on a large red button on the armored carriage. A hidden compartment opened, and a mechanical assistant descended and connected to it.

In an instant, the dormant armored carriage came to life.

"Click-clack!"

Amidst the sounds of machinery at work, the mechanical carriage that served as a fortress underwent a fundamental transformation. The original tortoise shell unfolded, transforming into a firing platform for autonomous weapons. One after another, drones carrying bombs took off from small lifting platforms and hovered in the air. Self-destructing robots lined up and drove out of the discharge port, heading to the front lines. Behind Tannis, dozens of G3 hunters formed an array, their eyes flashing with cold, murderous light.

"Face the army of mechanics! Dragon Beasts!!!"

"Huh? My brother actually threw out that 'unfinished' experiment? The play's just begun and the curtain has already fallen; that's not a good script."

As she looked at the dragon beast's form appearing on the crystal ball, Countess Presto narrowed her eyes slightly. She knew very well that although this giant dragon beast was a failure in some respects, its combat power was extremely astonishing!

Then, she witnessed the entire transformation of Tennys' armored wagon, and the sheer number of mechanical troops that emerged from its belly surprised even the well-traveled Tennys.

'Engineering... it's incredible that such a thing can be done. No wonder my father wanted to recruit goblins... and no wonder my older brother is quite interested in them too... But is using these things to fight against giant dragons just overestimating our abilities, or...?'

Countess Presto sat back on her sofa and poured herself another glass of wine.

'Tell me the answer, Tanyas.'

——————————————Ratchet——————————————————

Gazlowe squatted in his workshop, carefully inspecting the 'Hive' missile launcher that he had just completed improving.

Suddenly, a red light came on, startling Gazlowe from his reverie of engineering.

"Is this an overcapacity production request? Has Tennys encountered something that could threaten her life?"

Gazlowe quickly dropped what he was doing, rushed out the door, jumped on his motorcycle, and sped to the door of Tannis's tightly closed workshop. He used his privileges to open the door, ran to the largest machine in the room, and punched a big red button.

"Rumble..."

Gears rubbed together, electricity surged, and the lights in Tennys's workshop lit up one by one. Materials and parts were fed into the feed inlet, assembled on the assembly line into one deadly weapon after another, and then transported to their destination by a hyperspace teleportation device at the end.

'Don't be hurt! My daughter!'

22. Tanya's 'War Front'

Mechanic, one of the most basic professions in the Celestial Realm, and also the most inconspicuous.

In the eyes of children, whether it's a wandering gunslinger laughing wildly in the raging yellow sands, a heavily armed gunner specially formed by the military, or a munitions expert leading his special forces and always appearing in the most dangerous places, all are more attractive than a mechanic, whose profession consists of nothing more than squatting in the laboratory fiddling with blueprints or assembling robots at a workbench covered in machine oil. Therefore, most children in the Celestial Realm—especially boys—have almost no desire to become mechanics before adulthood.

However... there's an open secret among the Four Divine Gunners of the Celestial Realm: if unleashed in unrestricted combat, the Mechanic, a class created to fight against the Tyrant King Bakal, is undoubtedly the most terrifying class in the Celestial Realm. Against a Ranger, you only need to guard against two or four guns; against a Gunslinger, you only need to guard against a small squad; against a Gunner, you only need to guard against heavy weapons capable of wiping out a hundred-strong squad. But against a Mechanic...

You are about to face an army, an army that obeys orders without question and is fearless...

"Roar!!!"

The enormous black dragon roared, charging forward while frantically spinning its greatsword. The spinning speed was so fast that Tannis could feel the wind blowing through it. Clearly, if one were to be grazed by this thing, being able to survive with a whole corpse would be the greatest fortune.

"Route of movement: straight line; speed per second: 8.2 meters... estimated contact time: 15 seconds... heavy pursuer, maximum overload."

Seeing the colossal beast charging towards her with overwhelming force, Tannis, wearing a pair of specially made glasses and fully entering battle mode, gently made a 'pressing down' gesture with her left hand.

As Tennys moved, the cameras of 10 Chaser units, which were slightly larger than those of a regular Chaser, emitted a red glow, and the indicator lights on the antennas above their heads turned from green to red. A cross-shaped locking frame appeared in front of Tennys, dotted with red lights.

"Target locked, analysis complete, pursuit commences."

The moment Tannis gave the order, the Heavy Pursuer, which had already completed its system overload, suddenly deployed its auxiliary thrusters. With the combined action of the tracks and thrusters, it approached the dragon beast at three times the speed of an ordinary human.

"boom!!!!"

Unable to change course during the charge, the black dragon crashed squarely into all the heavy pursuers, a small mushroom cloud rising from the blast site, scattering rubble and dirt everywhere.

“Target’s vital signs are stable, speed has decreased to 7.1 meters per second, heavy pursuer.”

A still, deep sound rang out as the second batch of heavy pursuers, having completed their overload activation, plunged headlong into the still-lingering smoke, crashing heavily into the black dragon beast that was still charging forward. And then...

"boom!!!"

“Target’s vital signs are stable, speed has decreased to 5.5 meters per second, heavy pursuer.”

The third wave of heavy pursuers rushed to the battlefield, blasting a crater for the third time around the giant dragon. After being blasted three times in a row, the giant dragon's charging speed had slowed down significantly, and the giant sword's rotation had stopped.

"Target speed has decreased significantly, vital signs are stable, ordinary pursuer, satellite array."

"Whoosh, whoosh whoosh!!"

With the sound of thrusters blasting air, 50 ordinary Pursuers rushed to the dragon beast, which was about 40 meters away from Tannis, at twice the speed of the heavy Pursuers, and surrounded it.

Before the dragon beast could even raise its greatsword, the pursuers surrounding it had already been blown to pieces. Although as a monster with black dragon blood, it could ignore the high temperatures generated by these explosions, the directional shockwave generated by the explosion of fifty ordinary pursuers through a special array was something even a behemoth like it could not ignore.
