Daniel behind Duke was completely dumbfounded. The power of each spell used by Duke required the full strength of a top-level archmage, but Duke was actually doing three things at once, casting three at the same time, and all of them ignored the instant casting of the spell!
And judging from the identities of those two orcs, they should be of a fairly high status!
"Boss, who are they?" In private, Duke insisted that Daniel and Anya call him Boss.
"Oh, the chief of a top clan and the next chief of the horde." Duke replied casually.
Daniel's face turned blue immediately.
Thanks to Garona's popularization of tribal knowledge among the middle and high-level officials of the entire Stormwind Kingdom, most of the middle and high-level military officers, or mages of the Royal Mage Corps like Daniel now know the general strength of the other side.
The more widely accepted view is that human legion commanders cannot defeat the chieftains of top clans, but can generally draw with the chieftains of second-rate clans.
This is based on multiple cases of human legions being disbanded.
It's very simple, the general was killed and the flag was captured.
In many large-scale battles between Stormwind and the Horde, there were tragic incidents where the legion commander was killed instantly and the flag was taken away. Only Lothar, the recognized god of war of the kingdom, once killed the chieftain of a second-tier clan of the other side, saving some face.
This still did not stop Llane from ordering the withdrawal of the troops.
It is a shame for a flag to be taken away by the enemy. A flag of shame cannot lead soldiers to victory. This is an eternal iron rule left over from the time of Emperor Soladin.
So, when Daniel saw that Duke could suppress the two famous heroes of the Horde alone, his mouth opened so wide that a big egg could be stuffed in.
But the good times didn't last long, Duke immediately exclaimed:
Daniel didn't know what this sentence meant, but he knew it was definitely not a good thing.
Duke was indeed almost in trouble, if it weren't for the system AI helping him to constantly scan the surrounding environment...
Why do mages need lots of followers?
The mage's powerful firepower and weak vitality form the most striking contrast.
If there is no mana shield, ice shield or something like that, the wizard will die even if the weakest militiaman stabs him with a fork.
This forces the mage to keep a good distance when fighting against the warrior.
Duke was already having a hard time dealing with two chieftain-level heroes. Those two superhuman guys were simply unreasonable.
But there are more unreasonable guys coming up.
The system AI gave the highest level of warning! A huge red exclamation mark appeared on Duke's retina, pointing directly to the mountain on the left side of his vision.
A set of footprints far, far away.
If the system AI had not specially marked them, Duke would not have realized that these were a series of footprints made by one person, because each footprint was at least ten meters apart.
Although no one was visible in the field of vision, the system AI used a simpler and more direct method to outline a sturdy human figure with a red frame.
And this figure is approaching Duke at high speed.
"Hah!" Duke shouted loudly, and with his left hand, an ice tornado filled with freezing air suddenly rolled towards the seemingly empty space.
A burly human figure was forced to materialize in the air.
Duke recognized the orc at a glance. He had a scarlet flag on his back, a circle of large brown-black strange beads around his neck, a white beard fluttering in the wind, and a long single-edged sword in his hand.
He was an orc from the Burning Blade clan, a martial arts master. In history, he had experienced the First and Second Dark Gate Wars. Samuro was a stealth expert, and his stealth skills were used to the extreme in the recent Battle of Elwynn Forest. As many as 34 Stormwind commanders died at his hands, including two generals and a deputy legion commander.
The Burning Blade Clan is a well-known clan of sword masters among the orcs. Countless sword masters were born in this clan. Their supreme fighting talent, agility and powerful destructive power are incomparable to ordinary warriors. Almost all orc warriors have an inexplicable worship for sword masters.
The moment Samuro appeared, the large group of orcs not far away who were still determined to get close to Duke burst into thunderous cheers.
The cheers seemed to make Kilrogg's dead-eyed face unable to hold back. With a loud shout, his body lengthened by a full 30 centimeters. If Orgrim was a berserker, then Kilrogg had maximized his speed and magic resistance.
The freezing air from the blizzard slowed him down, and its effect was reduced by 70% in an instant.
Samuro's figure disappeared into the air again. Needless to say, he must have activated the Wind Step which has a built-in stealth effect and pounced towards Duke.
All of a sudden, the three clans' most famous heroes came together to attack.
"Boss?" Daniel called out in a questioning tone.
In the plan made before, Duke was supposed to set the fire and then run away. But when to run away was still decided by Duke.
Duke knew very well that if he faced any of these three tribal heroes in a one-on-one situation, he would be at an absolute disadvantage.
Duke was scratching his head and couldn't figure out why the orc hero's physique could enhance his magic resistance. Was it the 20% mutation that didn't match Duke's impression of the world? Or was it the level suppression brought to him by the orc hero?
This is a very serious problem, which determines whether Duke will take a detour when he sees the heroes of the Horde in the future, or find a way to kill them directly.
Heroes cannot be copied!
Heroes with leadership abilities will be killed one less at a time. Before the first generation of Paladins came out, facing the powerful Horde, the human side really only had Anduin Lothar to hold the fort.
In fact, before Bolvar Fordragon became a paladin, Bolvar's strength was only second-rate.
If possible, Duke still wanted to see if he could kill one or two tribal heroes, or at least find out if their abilities were different from what he imagined.
Duke stretched out his hands as if he was pushing open an extremely heavy door. When he opened his hands completely and stretched his body into a spread-eagle position, an extremely huge cover with a blizzard surrounding it suddenly appeared on the entire mountain.
What would happen when the range of the mage's Ice Barrier was expanded hundreds of times with the support of unimaginable magic power?
The answer is the Wide-Area Ice Shield in front of you!
An enemy entering the cover will be slowed down to a certain extent and has a certain chance of being frozen into ice. It's a huge defense-enhancing magic!
