132 [Lady Red Dragon]
Time flies, and three days pass in the blink of an eye.
The war is becoming more and more worrying.
With the exception of the region of Tirisfa, where the royal capital is located, almost the entire territory of Lordaeron is in dire straits.
The fighting situation in the Middle Lordane region has reached a certain level. The wilderness has almost become an unhindered amusement park for the revivals, and all civilians have retreated to cities, fortresses or large towns such as Hearthvale and Andoral to seek refuge, and the defenders do not dare to break away from the protection of the city walls to sweep the corpses in the wilderness.
Although the evacuation is done properly, it is difficult to expand the scale of the corpse tide when it reaches its peak, but this is a commanded corpse tide, not a purposeless corpse tide composed of brainless walking corpses that acted entirely on instinct in the past.
If the Scourge Legion commands the corpse tide and besieges the major towns without attacking them, then it is really something that everyone is afraid of.
Refugees are piling up in major towns and cities, and the amount of food and fresh water they consume every day is quite frightening. Although this situation was expected before, and the worst-case scenario was reserved in advance, and the autumn harvest grain was retained, the current situation is still under control......
But panic is inevitable. No matter how well prepared, homeless people tend to fall into depression. Playing with fear, creating worry and suspicion is exactly what the demon army under the command of the Dreadlord is good at before launching a general attack on the target.
The fiefdoms of the Barov family were also in a worrying situation.
Lake Dharon Mill has become a poisonous lake for spreading plagues, and it is unknown how many plague sources the Scourge has planted in it.
Due to the isolation of the mid-lake island of Daron Mill, the Barov family took in a large number of refugees to the island in order to share the pressure of Andohal. As a result, the important water source became a poisonous lake, and no one dared to continue drinking the well water, and the island was completely cut off from water, and fell into the dilemma of having food and clothing but no water to drink.
At present, they can only rely on teleportation magic, bringing fresh water from afar to maintain their supply.
Water Formation?
The mage's water-making technique can indeed condense the water vapor in the air to make pure water that can be drunk. However, not to mention that there are not so many mages who are constantly "rubbing water" to meet the drinking needs of tens of thousands of refugees, and even if they do, they have to devote themselves to more critical places.
East Lordaeron, which is also part of East Wilder, is in much better shape than the other side of the Sodorier River.
After Saidan Dasohan led the main force of the Knights, as well as the 5,000 soldiers of the 10th Legion who had previously been stationed in the Kaulin and Stratholme regions, arrived in the southeastern theater of operations, the "Hand of Tyr" defense line was completely stabilized.
The main force of the Scourge Legion, consisting of ghouls, resurrected Kultiras Marine Corps soldiers, flesh and blood constructs, gargoyles, and skeleton mages infused with necromantic energy to perform improvised necromantic magic, is unable to advance an inch, at least in the short term, with absolutely no possibility of attacking Eastern Lordaeron, and is firmly contained in the eastern coastal region.
Similarly, there is the Silver Pine Forest. The Second Legion fought valiantly, holding out the other main force of the Scourge at the northern end of the woodland, preventing it from making a long drive into the Tirisfal Glade.
I just don't know how long this situation will last, and whether it will be broken by the sudden infiltration of the Scourge Legion, such as infiltrating a city where the investigation work is finally sparse, detonating a terrible source of plague, infecting tens of thousands of civilians overnight......
As for the follow-up investigation of Kurtilas, and the condition of the orcs in the Arathi Heights, Oryx did not receive any information.
He didn't know what the fate of the orcs was, whether they would finally be reborn after suffering or forced to become slaves of the Burning Legion again under the threat of extinction, and even if the worst happened, he could only watch the Burning Legion once again bring such a terrible army under its command.
He got Natalie Serling's research notes.
It's just that this female bishop didn't dare to send him too profound knowledge when she first started to study the way of balancing light and shadow, and Dalaran didn't dare to send him too profound knowledge, for fear that he would really be affected.
These days, in addition to studying notes, he is consulting with the Kenrito Council on how to capture Katlana, the incarnation of Onexia, without affecting the relationship between the Stormwind Kingdom and the Alliance, and reveal the truth to the Eastern Continent.
Because Crassus didn't want to reveal his true identity to his colleagues who had worked with him for many years, Orix could only continue to use the name of prophecy to talk about what he had said to him and re-tell the Kenrito Council to advance the matter in his own capacity.
It's just that he didn't go into that much detail, and he tried his best to hide that he was corrupted.
What Crassus promised was only a private agreement with him, and the participants were not aware of the existence of this part of the power except for him.
In other words, in this capture, the dragon summoned by Crassus can only be regarded as off-the-field assistance. The ones who really enter the tomb and calculate with Onexia will still be the Northland forces involved in this matter.
However, this is also in line with Oryx's expectations, and he is not dissatisfied with it.
As the daughter of Deathwing, the black dragon princess Onexia, who has the blood of the Earth Guardian in her body, is indeed very powerful, far surpassing the descendants of the ancient black dragons who were transformed by the Guardian and evolved from the Yuan Dragon.
But no matter what trap she had, Oryx didn't think she could really threaten herself.
"Sir, a lady who claims to be a friend of Master Crassus asks to see her."
There was a knock on the door, and Oryx was confused for a few seconds at first, but then he reacted that it was Crassus's "inspector" who arrived, and hurriedly answered, put down Natalie's research notes, and opened the door to welcome him out.
When I walked out of the mansion, I saw that the garden was still flowing with a thick blue magical mist, and a portal should have just closed.
Next to Ms. Jandis Barov stood a tall lady with a gentle temperament. The tenderness in those eyes was about to come out, as if they were full of love for everything in the world.
Needless to say, this must be a red dragon.
It's still a mother.
"Ma'am, please come with me."
Oryx made a gesture of please, this is not the place to speak. As he spoke, he also looked at Jandis Barov, who seemed to know the true identity of the guest, and let him go without further examination.
As he led the female red dragon lady into the mansion, Oryx felt more and more helpless.
All previous signs indicate that with the deepening cooperation with the Red Dragon Legion on the joint response to the Scourge Legion, Dalaran has long known the true identity of Crassus.
For example, a high-ranking person like Jandis Barov, who was sent to protect herself, was obviously deliberately hiding something when she talked about the Red Dragon Legion's envoy and said the name "Borrell" last time.
So in the end, Crassus didn't want to take charge of the capture of Onexia, but he didn't trust himself for the time being—he didn't believe his own side of the story, and he didn't know if he had been corrupted by Saratas. That's why we are cautious.
Oryx understands that Crassus is not only preparing for the capture these days, but also in case he finds out that he has really been corrupted by Salatas after the investigation, and is carrying out a series of preparations from capture to purification or humanitarian extermination......
After all, if that were the case, it would have a terrible impact on the Northlands, and it was self-evident.
He understands all this.
Because even he can't be sure if he's a ......
Corrupted.
Entering a small living room with no one in the room, Oryx politely invited the female Red Dragon Lady to sit down, and introduced himself, "I am Oryx Riwendell. Presumably your Excellency is the friend that Master Crassus asked me to check my body, right? ”
The female red dragon lady nodded and smiled, "To be exact, a subordinate." Nice to meet you, Mr. Saint. I'm Christasa, a member of the Red Dragon Legion. ”
Oryx was stunned.
Christasa?
Is it Christasa, who eradicated Malygos's spouse in the Demon Pivot War, but was caught by the Blue Dragon King, who had gone completely mad, and trained to become his new spouse?
This made Oryx wonder.
The lady ......
Do you know how to identify corruption in others? How do you think it doesn't match, because this involves the knowledge of the shadow realm, and she doesn't seem to have the ability to do it in the plot. As a member of the dragon legion that guards Azeroth, it is normal to study the power of the enemy in order to deepen your understanding of the enemy in the 10,000 years when the power of the six Origins is coming together and the Elder Gods are about to return......
The signs of corruption in one's own body, I'm afraid that only experts who know this way can draw a definite conclusion, right?
Can this female red dragon lady really find out anything?
"Mr. Saint has doubts about my abilities? Don't worry, fifteen hundred years ago, when the corruption of the Saron Evil Iron Vein spread across Azeroth, I was commissioned by the Queen to investigate with a few green dragons. I think I'm half an expert when it comes to the corruption caused by the Shadows. Christasa smiled sweetly.
But this is not said in the plot...... Oryx was stunned.
