A person's covert operations are relatively simple and easy, and there are usually places where you can pass without alarming the wandering undead monsters, and it is easy for a person and a horse to pass through.

But if it was like now, Adelan led 100 heavy horsemen and their pack horses, walking horses, plus 200 auxiliaries, and 500 horsemen, although it was along the relatively safe road he tried to walk alone, but after a force of this size went on the road, Adelan found that he still took it for granted, even if Vanessa was constantly exploring the way through stealth in front, Assassinating the lone undead could not stop the follow-up troops, because it was like crossing a certain line between the living and the dead, and the undead were blocked by the breath of a large number of fresh lives......

Edlan and his cavalry team have been blocked for the third time, the first two times he was ruthless and led the cavalry team under the blessing of his unreasonable holy light to directly sweep away the two groups of undead of more than 500 and more than 800, but this third time, the undead who emerged from the vicinity south of Darson's Tears obviously didn't want to give them any more passage, there were 5,000 undead monsters coming, and even a dozen abominations, after Adelan saw the other party's neat and orderly military formation, he immediately realized that this time it was led by a necromancer himself.

He thought he knew the military situation of the deceased very well, and there were many details of military affairs that he lacked knowledge, which really could not be made up for in a day or two. For example, what scale of action will not attract the attention of the undead, and how large can the action effectively avoid the eyes and ears of the undead?

After being intercepted, Edlan decisively ordered the whole army to rush back to the undead barrier at full speed, and it was much better to lose face than to lose his life.

Half a day later, Edlan ignored the triumphant eyes of a certain marshal, he quickly finished his lunch and began to rest, and the marshal who was bored with himself also rested, after all, he was still a wounded.

The current situation of the undead barrier is relatively stable, and there will be a wave of undead fighting every three or five days, but it is like some kind of tacit understanding, as long as the human defenders in the undead fortress do not fight in the pass, they will only wander outside the pass, and they will withdraw after being bombarded with a few shots, and there are few cases where they directly approach the pass and want to kick the city to fight.

So in general, the 5,000 soldiers stationed at the city pass in addition to daily training and patrols, Outside the changing of the guard, there is usually nothing to do, the two fortresses in the rear of the pass and the pass are stationed in the rear of 5,000 soldiers respectively, they are also a part of the defense system of the undead barrier, when the city pass is still there, they belong to a member of the rotation, and the city pass is lost, they will be used as the second line of defense, from the left and right sides of the condescending to the enemy to besiege and kill, to put it bluntly, these three points together is a large urn city, if the outermost layer of the city pass pressure is too great, you can open the city gate to let some undead come in, by the two points of the rear formation to kill, reduce the pressure of the first line。

Of course, this assumption is only at the hypothetical stage, after all, the current undead offensive is far from the extent that it is necessary to open the city to relieve the pressure.

Then the next morning, when it was still gray, Edlan and Vanessa used their identity to sneak out of the city, which made the marshal who later found out about this furious, and suffered Marcus's hundred heavy cavalry and auxiliaries, and they were all sent to the Tirisfal glades and even other parts of the Silver Pine Forest to urge and supervise the transportation of grain and grass.

On Edlan's side, he and Vanessa were much more relaxed this time, the first time he touched the position closer to the Daronmere Bridge, but he was blocked by the army of undead and could not pass, this time he had to bypass the army of the undead hundreds of meters away as planned.

Vanessa had an easy time sneaking around, and she even covered Adelan in the direction of the army of the undead, as the Assassins had a trick at disrupting the enemy's audio-visual skills, which could temporarily delay the movement of some zombies who were close enough to be attracted by the strong aura of holy light emanating from Adelan's body.

This made Edlan, who didn't want to make a big move, found a good opportunity, and rode his horse to speed up, until the shore, and found that there were no undead to follow, he went to the agreed place to wait for Vanessa, but he didn't expect that he just turned over and dismounted to smooth the horse's hair a few times, Vanessa had already followed, and she was just a little out of breath when she showed her figure, and nothing else was a big deal.

Another ruthless move of the assassin department, "sprinting", which can allow the user to have a speed comparable to that of a war horse in a short period of time, and there are no big side effects, just like ordinary people, after sprinting for a distance, they have to get a lot of fresh air through violent breathing to recover their strength and energy, and as long as the assassin's breath calms down, he can use this skill again.

Although there are no side effects, but seeing that Vanessa can run as fast as a horse, or even farther than a horse, in the end she is just a little breathing, Adlane feels that her assassin talent is really good, after all, if she is a novice or a mid-level assassin, she should not be able to run without breathing after the hero level.

So Edlan re-evaluated Vanessa's strength in his mind, an assassin above the middle level.

The shoals were easy to find, but for safety, both Adline and Vanessa chose to dismount and lead their horses across the river, as the Sodoril River was still quite fast. However, when the two crossed the river, led by Edlan, they walked back and forth along the river beach for almost an hour, and no one found Tirio's hut in seclusion.

Could it be that I am mistaken? Edlan shook his head secretly, it should be around here, what is wrong about it?

"Are you looking for someone?"

Vanessa took the initiative to say something to Edlan for the first time.

"Uh, well, an old brother who was once the Knights of the Silver Hand. "Edlan is also strange, the two of them have been groping here for so long, Vanessa's patience is also good, and only at this time did he take the initiative to ask the reason, in the end, he still didn't tell anyone that he was coming here to find someone, and everyone really came all the way to the place where the main force of the Silver Hand Knights is currently stationed.

"I could already smell the smell of soaphorn foam in the river coming downstream. ”

Hey, girl, are you a dog?

Hearing Vanessa's words, Adelan once again refreshed his evaluation of Vanessa: his sense of smell is extremely good, and other aspects may also be excellent, it remains to be seen.

"Upstream ......" Edlan came back to his senses and thought about it, it seems that he has lived in this world for a long time, it seems that his memories before the crossing have been a little blurred, and he doesn't even realize that he is a time-traveler many times, what is the difference between him and the people born and raised here?

The upper reaches of the Sodoril River are to the north, and if there is a soaphorn smell, it means that people are bathing or washing clothes, if it is not so coincidental, it is estimated that Edlan's trip will be in vain.

At the end of the north side there is a hidden tunnel that leads to the direction of Stratholme, but that tunnel has been abandoned for various reasons for many years, and it has become a paradise for all kinds of cave creatures, and in later generations, when the plague infection spreads here, that tunnel will breed terrible plague monsters.

Maybe even if Tirio is exiled, he still wants to do what he can for his homeland, and without the power of the Light, he is just a more capable warrior, so ...... Did he want to stay near the mouth of the tunnel and not let the vicious monsters inside escape and cause trouble?

I consciously recalled that when I met Tirio Fording a few years ago, he had been a kind old man next door, but now he had been transformed into a brighter and taller image by Edlan's brain.

Soon, after having a clear direction, the two did not have to be so slow anymore, and in less than half an hour with horsepower, the two of them found a small wooden house, a small grocery warehouse, a few acres of thin fields, an old horse playing in the water on the shallows, and an old man drying clothes at the foot of a sunken mountain.

"Uncle Tirio!" Edlan was a little excited, he turned over and dismounted, and ran in the direction of the old man.

Although this is by the river, the sound of flowing water is relatively loud, but it is already so close, and Tirio's skills have long heard the sound of horses' hooves coming, but he doesn't think that someone will come to him, his existence has almost been forgotten, so he instinctively thought that he was a lost traveler, and he would take out the hare he caught yesterday to entertain him, but he didn't expect it......

"Edlan, it's ...... you"

Even though Adelan was followed by a cold-faced girl in leather armor leading a horse, Tirio subconsciously put her on the rank of his follower.

Similarly, despite seeing that it was his son's friend, a junior of the Knights of the Silver Hand, Tirio felt a little embarrassed now. Because only a few of them knew about his existence, and most of the others thought that he had died in battle, of course, for the sake of preserving his reputation and the son who inherited his lordship.

Tirio Fortin, a powerful paladin, excelled in the Second Orc War, and when the war ended, he returned home to find a reclusive orc, and the two of them immediately fought, but the collapse of the tower next to him overwhelmed him, and Tirio lost consciousness.

When Tirio woke up, he found that it was the orc who had been fighting with him for the last second to save him, so in such a strange atmosphere, the two had a long talk, and from the orc's mouth, Tirio learned a lot about the secrets of the orcs, the enslavement of the Burning Legion, the shattering of the homeland Draenor, etc., and this orc named Itreg had to leave his people in seclusion in order to no longer want to bow to the Burning Legion.

So the good old man Tirio was moved, and this sense of honor resonated with him. Before leaving, he swore that he would not reveal anything about the place to outsiders.

But things didn't go as planned, a paladin named Bathras secretly investigated and discovered the place, and led people to arrest the reclusive orc, when Tirio learned of this, he resolutely chose to rescue the orc. The first generation of paladins were very capable of fighting, and although Tirio did not kill them, the paladins and soldiers who escorted the captives were beaten badly. So Tirio was sued.

In court, Tirio confessed to what he had done, but he said, "Race is not an indication of glory, and one should not make rash judgments about one's own different existence." Then he told everyone what had happened.

However, the judge refused because it was true that Tirio had attacked his colleagues, but between the fact that there were no deaths and no previous exploits, he was sentenced to exile and the power of the Light was removed. His orc friend Itreig heard that Tirio was being prosecuted for treason, thinking that he must be sentenced to death, so he brought a group of orcs to the prisoner and rescued Tirio at a certain price......

Since then, Tirio Fortin, the first generation of paladins, has been officially removed.

According to Tirio's thoughts, there were not many people who knew that he was still alive, but it would never be a child like Edlan, so he naturally thought that the two of them had stumbled here by mistake.

"Uncle, Lordaeron is in danger, Andorhar has become a paradise for the undead, and it is estimated that millions of humans have been turned into undead monsters by evil necromancy!

"What?!" Tirio listened, and the clean clothes in his hands fell to the ground.

If it was someone else who said something that seemed impossible to him to bewitch him, he would definitely disdain it, but the person who came was a new generation of paladins whom he had met several times and whom the old fellows valued very much, and who also had a good relationship with his own son, and the news that came out of his mouth was too sensational.

Tirio lived in seclusion here, almost unconcerned, every day he tinkered with the fields, went hunting in his spare time, and was too lazy to fish directly, although life was very boring and monotonous, but for an exile, it was very pleasant. But he didn't expect that in the past few years of his exile, the outside world had undergone such earth-shaking changes!

He used to be the commander of the army of the Kingdom of Lordaeron, and he deeply knew the significance of the Andohar region to the entire Lordaeron, which was not only a material distribution center, but also a transportation hub for the entire Lordaeron......

Tirio took a few steps forward, grabbed Adlan's shoulders with his two big hands, and asked with some excitement, "Tyran, how is my son?"

Edlan gave him a reassuring smile back, "Uncle, don't worry, Tyran, he is now the lord of the Hearth Valley, and he has led his troops to defend the front line of the North Mountain Lumber Yard...... Well, I'll tell you about the current state of the kingdom......"

Then Edlan began to talk for a long time, and roughly explained Lordaeron's current situation, "...... That's it, we can't attack effectively due to the lack of the necessary linkage between the various legions, but in fact, I suspect that this long-planned plague is not just about Andorhar. ”

When the old Tirio heard this, he immediately came back to his senses, yes, the plague in Andorhar broke out so quickly, and millions of people were infected and transformed into undead, which is by no means something that can be done in a day or two, but listening to Edlan's story, this is not normal for the million undead army to be "stalemate" with the weak human defenders who cannot form an effective linkage in several directions!

"Those damn cursed sects must have some other plot!"

"Yes, that's what I'm here for. Come back, uncle, come and help the motherland!" Adelan saw hope, as if he could already see the heroic posture of Foding back into battle.

“...... Alas, I am an exile for treason, and my presence will cause unnecessary trouble, and the Silver Hand may have infighting over this, and it will also hurt Tyran. At this, Tirio's eyes lost color again, and like an old man in the twilight, he picked up the fallen clothes, patted them clean, and slowly re-dried them. "This is the time of your youth, go ahead and do whatever you want, and I think the Prince of Arthas will think the same way. With you young kings, I think Lordaeron should be able to survive this crisis. ”

Edlan was momentarily speechless, and although Tirio was right, after all, a person can never wake up a person who is pretending to be asleep.

He has always been neutral about the story of Tirio and Itreig, which is between the two of them. Because once it rises to the height of national righteousness and racial survival, humans and orcs are indeed mortal enemies.

You can't invade my happy and beautiful home just because your orc home is broken, even if you are an enslaved race, but you burn, kill, loot and do all kinds of evil on my home, this is a hatred that can be easily let go? When the orcs bloodbathed the Storm Kingdom, did you ever think that they would one day be defeated by humans?

Orcs are evil invaders in the eyes of humans, and for whatever reason, they bring destruction, death, and endless hatred, as well as human tragedy. If it weren't for the fact that the orcs were also actively involved in the defense of this world, I am afraid that no matter how many dove leaders there are in the alliance, they will not have any more good looks for these executioners whose hands are full of human blood.

So this matter of Tirio, big and small, he has a lot of concerns, it is not unreasonable, Tyran is now inheriting his lordship, and it is precisely because he "died in battle" to preserve his reputation that he was able to inherit. The Knights of the Silver Hand seem to be monolithic under the leadership of Uther, but in fact, each first-generation paladin has its own small group, but Uther's personality charm and his strength can indeed convince the public, so everyone can obey his command with peace of mind.

If Tirio reappears rashly, I am afraid that this small group that was once loyal to him will have an idea, which is very detrimental to the unity of the Knights of the Silver Hand. Besides, Tirio thinks that he has no strength of his own, and that if he goes back, he will only give others a handle and be bored with himself, so in the end he can only turn into a sigh.

"I've heard your name, Mr. Tirio, and I think I have a solution to your troubles. ”

When the old and the young fell silent, Vanessa, who was feeding the horses on the side, suddenly opened her mouth and solved this problem with a small trick that neither of them expected.

Half an hour later, under Adelan's surprised gaze, Vanessa's various makeup and camouflage props took turns to fight, and after a while, a heroic middle-aged man appeared in front of him instead of the old man who was dying just now. If he hadn't known in advance that this person was Tirio, Adlane would have even thought he had found the wrong person.

"I really didn't expect you to have such skills!Vanessa, you are such a genius!" The excited Edlan patted Vanessa's shoulder a little proudly, but the latter glared at him coldly and gently slapped the hand away. Edlan was not annoyed, he smiled happily, "Uncle, so you can go back out of the mountain." ”

Tirio also recovered from the shock that his appearance had been "changed" so dramatically, "Thank you, little girl...... Edlan, you've got a good helper...... Well, I'll follow you and serve the country again!"

Tirio knew very well that after such a disguise, his most suitable identity was to follow behind this junior who knew his identity, rather than to be a recruit to participate in the war against the undead, so this choice at the moment was a relatively good choice for him, a guy who still had a patriotic heart.

Edlan was also very happy, as if he heard some BGM sounding, and then there was another system prompt below him that said "Tirio Fording joins the team". He never doubted that Tirio could fight, the first generation of paladins were very capable of fighting, Tirio was only eliminated from the power of the Holy Light, and he was not provoked to break his tendons, so Tirio is now a very powerful weapon warrior.

It's just that his current equipment is a little shabby, a big wooden hammer that you can know how old you look at, and there are some blackened things stuck to the hammer that I don't know what it is, it seems that Uncle Tirio hasn't maintained it too much after hunting, and after he cleaned up the house, he has put on a new leather armor, which is even more unbearable, tattered, and the leather is already a little hard......

It seems that this superficial comfortable life is not as comfortable as imagined......

"Uncle, I'll find you a set of equipment that fits when you get to the station in Alsace. "Edlan took it all over.

"Rather than that, the two of you should decide on Mr. Tirio's new name as soon as possible. Vanessa always spoke so plainly that it made people feel a little cold, but it was very right to point to the point.

"Uh, that's right, does that uncle have any fake names that come to mind?"

"I don't have a problem, just listen to you. ”

"Okay, then I'll call you Lafayette, and I'll say that I'm my entourage first. ”

"Old Buddha?" and Vanessa were a little unsure of the pronunciation, but after seeing Edlan's "sincere" (bad taste) smile, they both looked at each other and acquiesced to the name, anyway, he Tirio was not the one who cared about this, let alone Vanessa.

So, the group of three returned to their next destination, Mares Farm, but when they inquired all the way to the small farmhouse on a high slope, the nearby villagers told them that the famous human ranger had been summoned by His Royal Highness the Prince to fight the undead.

This made Edlan want to continue to hear about a certain BGM's careful thoughts, but soon, when he identified himself and arrived at the headquarters of Arthas and the Knights of the Silver Hand, after he discovered the increasingly impatient and impulsive friend, he learned that the friend had successfully "killed" the leader of the Cursed Sect, a fallen archmage, Kel'thugad, in an adventurous attack he had just organized, and learned from his enemies that there was a larger conspiracy in Stratholme......

Edlan's whole person is not good, he hurried over, but he still couldn't stop Arthas from meeting with Kel'thugad, so what should he do next?
