During the time that Adlan persuaded Arthas, Haduron Mingyi learned from Nathanos's brief summary that some rumors of plagues that had been heard in Quir Sellas had now fermented into something completely uncontrollable.

There are nearly a million undead in Andorhar, and Stratholme will soon become like Andorhar, which is already very close to the southern territory of Quel'Sellas, so Haduron immediately wrote a letter about what he saw and heard and sent back to Sylvanas, the Ranger General in the Tower of Windranger, hoping that she would be able to make a wiser judgment.

Haduron himself, on the other hand, is willing to join AIA's life-saving operation as an individual. Everyone welcomed this and praised Haduron's approach.

However, before leaving, Uther learned of the victory in an ambush near the Northland Tower, but unfortunately he could not devote more troops to exterminate the rotten moss trolls, so he could only reward Nathanos and let him replace the original guard of the Northland Tower as the commander here, leaving 500 militia to assist him in the defense.

"I know you young people want to make meritorious contributions, but the Northland Guard Tower is also very important, especially after you killed so many trolls just now, I'm afraid you will have to face a counterattack from the trolls. Uther ended his earnest persuasion and changed his tone, "I don't care if you're attacking or defending, I don't want to see a disgusting troll run out until the problem of Stratholme is over, can you do that?"

"Yes, sir!" Nathanos saluted Uther almost instinctively, after all, in Lordaeron, the name and prestige of Uther Lightbringer were simply incomparable, and the heart of Nathanos, who was still young, could not compare to that of a veteran who had been in a high position for a long time, and he was fooled into not finding the north in three or two clicks.

Of course, the Northland Watchtower did become more important after the battle to exterminate the 500 rotten moss trolls, and it needed an excellent person to sit here, so Nathanos, who had just made a meritorious achievement, was directly promoted to the rank of knight lieutenant by Uther, commanding all the troops here to guard against a possible counterattack by the trolls.

And Haduron Mingyi is also very generous and trusting to hand over most of the rangers he brought to Commander Nathanos, after all, he joined this operation to save Stratholme, more to be an observer, to observe what these plagues and undead are that are taboo by Lordaeron, and he needs to get first-hand information in order to make the necessary intelligence support for Quel'Sellas's response.

Of course, this point was known to the high-level people present, so no one said anything, anyway, the generosity of the High Elves was already very selfless in the eyes of everyone, which was undoubtedly a very good thing for the exchanges between the two countries...... However, if the High Elves are willing to have official dealings with the human world......

The team was gone, and despite the removal of the Light, Tirio could still feel the breath of death in the direction of Stratholme, the green poisonous mist like a talisman hovering over everyone's heads, and he urged his horse to Edlan's side and asked in a low voice, "How many people do you think you can save in the end?"

"According to previous experience, if it is the early stage of infection, the healing spell of the Holy Light can remove the plague from the infected person's body, but if the time interval is too long, even if the infected person does not become an undead, he is not far from death...... So, I can't guarantee how many people we can rescue, there are at least 500,000 people in Stratholm, I think there should be a survival rate of more than 1 in 1,000, I don't know, I'm not sure. ”

"500 people...... It's also too ...... Alarmist, isn't it?" Tirio instantly thought of the nearly a million undead in Andorhar, and then he also fell into pessimism, he hoped that this was just Edlan's speculation, and that it would be nice if the actual situation was better.

Soon, the troops reached Stratholme, and Uther led the large force to the main gate with the observer Haduron, while Adlan took 100 paladins and Arthas, Gianna, Tirio, Vanessa stopped at the back door of Stratholme, the green fog floating in the sky did not seem to affect the ground, at least the air she breathed was not as viscous as that of Andorhar that made people feel sick, which undoubtedly made Arthas's mood a little better, because he also knew that if it was the early stage of the plague infection, the power of the Holy Light could completely remove the plague infection in the ordinary human body and restore it to normal, so now it was a complete race against time.

Just standing nearby, the paladins who were very sensitive to the disasters caused by the evil and dark magical energy of the plague subconsciously clenched the weapons in their hands one by one, and after a simple preparation, everyone was already dressed and ready for battle. The paladin's eyes saw their tragedy and pity, and they were saddened by the tragedy that had happened to Stratholme.

Everyone dismounted, and Arthas hurriedly walked to the front of Edlan and asked eagerly, "What are you going to do?"

"We should divide into squads and enter Stratholm to save more people while protecting ourselves, but at the same time, there must be someone reliable to guard here, this is the way of life, the path of those who survived, so not a single infected person must escape from here. ”

After hearing Edlan's words, everyone's eyes were on Arthas, but the young prince obviously didn't want to be left here, he preferred to slash the damned Dreadlord.

"Arthas, remember, you will be the king, the king can carry the burden, the responsibility, but you don't need to do everything yourself, that will exhaust you, try to trust your courtiers, try to give others greater tolerance, you will be rewarded by them. ”

“...... Phew-" Arthas gave an ugly smile, but it was also a smile, and he tapped Adran on the shoulder, "Give me 10 paladins, and I'll take them to hold here." ”

"Maxwell Tyrossos, the mighty paladin of the Silver Hand, and his squad will be your best companions!"

Adelan quickly made a deployment, and Uther was interesting enough, he handed over a group of paladins who were very capable of fighting to the command of Adelan, the second highest ranking in the field, although there were many paladins with more seniority and strength than him, but Edlan's rank was really justified. Edlan then placed Baron Maxwell Terosos, who had united the paladins in the time before Tirio's return and after his death, to guard Arthas, hoping that his patience would continue to influence Arthas's determination and not be easily deceived by the darkness.

"Well, don't worry, I'm here to guard, and I will definitely not disappoint your expectations. ”

Edlan nodded at Arthas, and with a crusade blow, he split the iron bars that stood in the way, and led the rest of the men into Stratholme's back door......

The first thing that catches your eye is the chaos of the soldiers, many civilians pacing back and forth in confusion, some of the responsible city officials and guards trying to calm some of the panicked citizens, and others who seem very calm are packing up their horses and preparing to evacuate......

"Serijek, Kurtaz, I need you to clear the festive trail of all possible dangers, and ensure the smooth movement of Uther's large forces in the western district. Once it is discovered that the Light is unable to remove the plague from the infected, you ...... Only...... Forget it, let them go, as long as they don't hit the exit......"

"Knight of Marland, you take the rest of the people to hold here, relieve the pressure on the Prince of Arthas, everyone remember, the red flare is a signal for help in case of danger, when you need support, don't be reckless and think that you can fight, you must first protect yourself, so that you can better protect others!"

"Yes! Commander!"

Edlan's orders were well carried out, and the group took the order.

After the fall of Lordaeron, they continued to fight against the undead scourge, but unfortunately after their deaths, they were resurrected by the Lich King as Death Knights, stationed in the Scourge fortress of Naxxramas, becoming accomplices in spreading death and despair.

Tsk, Uther really thinks of me, and divides the future two Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. Edlan muttered to himself, the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse were powerful in front of and behind him. Now that there were two powerful paladins holding the back and establishing contact with Uther's forces, Edlan was a little more relaxed.

And Marlan, the female paladin's experience is also quite embarrassing, she is also a warrior who fought against the undead natural disaster before her death, her long-cherished wish before her death was the horse leather shroud, and she died on the battlefield, but fate always likes to joke with humans, she was resurrected by evil spells after her death in battle, and became the only paladin with the body of the undead on the continent of Azeroth......

After they were all seated, the few people who came in with Adelan felt strange, what did Adelan plan to do when he brought them together?

Tirio asked, "There are only four of us left with no assignments, what are you going to do?"

"Go to the town hall and try to find some evidence. Adelan took the lead and walked forward, these 100 paladins scattered into the huge city of Stratholme, they couldn't make any splash at all, if they could save it, they would save it, and he who couldn't save him Edlan was not a god, now he just wants to have a clear conscience.

And the evidence that Edlan is looking for is about Baron Rivendell, before the crossing there are different opinions about this baron of real power, some people say that he is indeed a victim, and finally for his own people to avenge the battle against Arthas, who has become the king of the Death Knight, but in the end he was defeated and died and was pulled up and became the version of the Death Knight; , so some speculate that it was because of his intentional indulgence that he finally made Stratholme the city of the dead.

But the problem arises again, Baron Rivendell, who was already the real controller of the vast land, after being resurrected as a death knight, the territory he controls is even smaller, only the city of Stratholme, and the citizens and soldiers under his command are just thoughtless "dolls", so it seems that if he pursues power, then his power is even smaller, and he does not have the respect and love from the heart when the people see him on weekdays, because they have become the living dead without thoughts......

Moreover, after becoming a death knight, he can only be controlled by the lich king, even if he was alive, the baron had an unhappy relationship with the king, and Tyrenus did not dare to yell at him, but after becoming a death knight, it was not only a matter of being subject to people, but in extreme cases, he could not even have self-consciousness at all, and he was a killing machine that obeyed the orders of the "creator".

This point is very clear to the old paladin, who has already learned the powerful Death Knight troops created by the orc warlocks back then, so what is his pursuit of change?

Adlane didn't know, so he was going to the town hall, where he had the information he wanted, such as the grain inspection in and out of the city, whether there were any special orders for careful inspection or no further inspection, or whether there was an abnormal peak in the number of people entering and leaving the city at certain times, etc.

After all, in such a large city, there are many places that need to be done to ensure complete infection, so if you can find evidence from these records, you may be able to figure out whether Rivendell is a madman who voluntarily surrenders to death, or a hero who finally loses his battle and falls, although defeated.

"Evidence?" Despite their confusion, the group followed Adlane in the direction of the city hall.

But the group hadn't gone far, and there was no one in sight on the road where some of the living could still be seen, and the rancid stench of the plague was getting stronger, "Something seems wrong! Vanessa, front." ”

Hearing this, Vanessa directly entered the stealth state, and quickly disappeared from everyone's sight, just as everyone else took out their weapons and prepared to fight, Vanessa returned, "There are a lot of zombies and ghouls, they are coming in our direction. ”

"Smack-" Adran shot a red flare into the sky, then explained, "I feel that it's not just those things, but some darker being watching us...... Spread out!"

The four of them dodged in response, and in the next second, dozens of burning fireballs began to fall above the place where the four of them were standing, each of which was the size of a person's head, and if it was really hit, I am afraid that it would be directly explained here.

"Spellcaster!" Vanessa snorted and went into stealth again, waiting for an opportunity to find the enemy's Achilles' weakness.

"No, it's a warlock!" Tirio has dealt with orc warlocks, this kind of evil rain of flames, is a spell that only warlocks are proficient in this dark profession, mages don't know, but their fire spells are purer, just pure elemental magic, unlike warlocks' spells There is always an evil smell, which makes Tirio recognize it directly.

Gianna and Adlan immediately began to "buff" themselves and their teammates, and the street, which originally looked not very dangerous, has now begun to be occupied by ghouls and zombies, and even a few of them can feel the rhythmic "earthquake" in the distance sound, and the appearance of this sound, means that there is an undead scourge of war machine abomination, and according to the strength of the vibration, the strength of the abomination can be distinguished, generally speaking, the larger the abomination, almost all aspects of the ability will be enhanced, and the vibration they emit will be stronger.

Moreover, usually the larger the Abomination, they will also have some simple intelligence, unlike ordinary Abomination, without being commanded by a higher order, after being manipulated by human soldiers, an elite team of 5 people can clean up a disgusting thing without interference.

This is some simple information about abomination that humans currently have, so after hearing the appearance of such a shocking abomination from a distance of 100 meters, a solemn look appeared on everyone's faces, because that monster must be the kind of high-level abomination with simple wisdom, which is very difficult, plus the undead who are constantly pouring towards several people in this place, and there is a warlock hiding in the shadows, the situation is very bad.

Marlan arrived with 30 paladins under her command, and before Adelan could explain the situation, Gianna attacked first, it was an ice arrow with a long "tail flame", as if to show its existence, it smashed the window of the small two-story building on the right side in the eyes of everyone!

"The spellcaster is there!"

The best way to find the hidden spellcaster is still up to the caster, because the flow of magic is very sensitive to the caster, and at Gianna's level, even if an archmage of Kel'thugad's level casts a spell nearby, she can clearly distinguish the direction and the strength of the opponent, and it only takes a little time to sense.

"Marlan leads the troops to kill the undead, and Galeries Lafayette holds back that abomination, Gianna, you-"

"I see!" Gianna waved her hand, and the two-story building was wrapped in a pillar of fire that rose into the sky, and the raging fire made Edlan in the middle of the road feel scorching, which made the corners of his eyes twitch when he was still buffing the paladin and priest who came from behind, the template of the "Chosen Heroine" is a bull fork, a firestorm made it look like a volcanic crater eruption......

"Quack quack, Quack Quack, worthy of Antonidas's beloved apprentice, but you should learn how a battle mage should be—ah, goo-"

The warlock used the demon portal to easily dodge Gianna's firestorm and appeared on the roof of the second floor on the other side, and he was about to make a big talk, but Edlan quickly released a hammer of sanction against the scourge of the undead, and before Adelan could continue to bombard him with an instantaneous spell, he clearly saw a sharp blade stabbed in his throat, which made him unable to make some intermittent, word-like sounds.

Shadow Walk!

The high-end skills of the Assassin and Assassin classes with keen specialization are very practical and terrifying, and they are a terrifying instantaneous step that uses the special skills of the Shadow Plane. It allows the user to appear directly behind the target through the shadow realm within a certain range, and in this case, it is often just a matter of finding the key point......

This skill has nothing to do with personal ability, it is purely a shadow favor, that is, a talent, and the average assassin can walk up to a distance of 25 yards in an instant.

But Vanessa, the girl who was favored by the shadows, was ambushed from the door of the burning house on the right side just now, and the distance between the roof of the house where the warlock appeared on the left side of the road was about 5 or 60 yards away, but Vanessa still made an accurate judgment almost instantly, and directly used this skill so powerful that all spellcasters were afraid to kill in one move!

This made Edlan have to reaffirm that reality is not a game, there is a health bar, no matter how deadly the attack is, it must be added or subtracted through a series of complex formula operations. In reality, if you succeed in hitting the vital point, no matter how strong a human is still a human being, this warlock can see from Gianna's solemn eyes that he may be very strong, but he has not yet left the category of human beings, so the weakness of his neck is very good for Vanessa to seize the opportunity to kill with a single blow.

Edlan sighed secretly, and at the same time re-evaluated Vanessa in his heart, as long as she has enough experience growth and energy, she can definitely become a high-level assassin now, and Vanessa's cooperation with him is like being tempered thousands of times, so that all the skills that Adelan wants to cast one after another are saved, she only needs to appear at the right time, and then stab it so lightly......

In fact, what Adelane didn't see was how many damage enhancement skills Vanessa opened at that moment, what kind of charge she made, and when the target's attention was attracted elsewhere, Adelan was stunned, so she used the ambush reasonably, directly breaking the protection provided by the warlock's personal protective jewelry, and finally killed with one hit.

On the other side, while Marlan was directing the paladins to fight against the influx of undead, Tirio, who had received almost all of Adelan's buffs, was not to be outdone, his whole body was wrapped in blood-red mist, and he was like a red flash, plunging headlong into the dense sea of undead!

Seeing this, Adlan hurriedly launched a cooperation, and another simulated ash awakening, a huge amount of holy energy gushed out, burning all the undead on Tirio's side into ashes.

"Thanks, kid...... Cheer ha-" Tirio's roar sounded scrappy, and his second roar slowed down the sonic attacks on corpses and ghouls that had lost their hearing!

It's a battle roar and a frustrated roar?! Edlan is a little messy in the wind.

And these two roars seemed to anger the abomination, and I saw the arm still dripping with pus swinging out, and the huge hook chain whistled in the direction of Tirio! But it seemed that this was exactly within Tirio's calculations, and the moment the hook chain touched him, Tirio's body spun around, and it was like a huge tornado, and his whole person seemed to be a whirlwind!

Storm of Blades!

The weapon-specialized warrior transforms into a devastating whirling storm, and the weapon in the warrior's hand is the "Death Scythe" that harvests all the straw of life!

The surrounding ghouls and zombies were all neatly cut off in the storm of blades, and it just so happened that the abomination hook chain was fastened to Tirio's armplate, dragging him all the way through, so the effect was not too good!

"After the storm, there is no grass left. ”

Tirio's blade storm was like a real tornado, leaving only wreckage all over the ground! But Tirio's veteran warrior did much more than that, as he was carried over by the hook chain, he flicked his wrist and broke free of the hook chain, jumping straight into the air, slashing down with lightning speed!

The hand that the abomination instinct raised, but it was hit by a divine shock from Edlan, who had been waiting for a good time, although it did not cause a lot of damage to it, but it interfered with its inability to raise its hand in time to parry, and Tirio's greatsword, which was filled with blood-red mist, cut off the head of the abomination very smoothly!

The unbalanced Abomination fell backwards, and Tirio stepped on the Abomination's chest and slashed at its neck, mending the knife a few times before hitting the ground, and then condensed the blood-red mist again after the Abomination fell to the ground and stabbed the Lordaeron soldier's two-handed sword into the chest of the thick-skinned Abomination......

Vanessa and Tirio's performance directly refreshed Adelan's perception of professionals, professionals are not terrible, what is terrible is that this kind of "historical" famous guys, all of them are not as strong as words, and their grasp of the fighter is far from what he, a paladin who is a halfway monk, can quickly master, it seems that Adelan has cooperated with the two of them very well, but he thinks that if he doesn't have his own cooperation, I'm afraid those two can also complete the goal, but it will be a little more troublesome.

This also made Adlane deeply understand what the iron-beaten "NPC" and the "player" of the running water mean......

P.S1: I remember that Blizzard's setting of "Filthy Earth Reincarnation" is too casual, and there are a lot of contradictions that are not easy to complete.
