Chapter 324: What? I'm dead?
Howling Fjord is located at the southernmost point of the Norrend continent.
The topography here is high on both sides and low in the middle, and due to the movement of the earth's crust, the middle area sinks completely, and eventually forms a river channel.
The river is called Howling Fjord, because the sea breeze blows through it, and the whole area can be heard howling like a wild beast.
Daggard Bay in the middle of the fjord leads to the sea, and it was at Daggard Bend that the first explorers landed at Northrend and set off on their journey to Northrend.
When the Prince of Arthas, who still had justice and conscience in his heart, landed in Northrend with his army, his first stop was Howling Windfjord, and then he set out to find a powerful artifact to defeat the powerful enemy and save the people, while some of his soldiers were left behind in Howling Windfjord.
The prince then becomes a Death Knight, who returns and slaughters most of the soldiers, but some survive.
They were the most loyal soldiers of the kingdom, they guarded the area like stones, carried stones, cut down trees, expanded their camps, and now they all live in the fortress called Vagard.
Lack of supplies, lack of supplies, it was difficult to replenish food by hunting alone, and the remaining soldiers struggled to support themselves, and every day there were soldiers standing on the docks looking south, hoping that the ships of the kingdom would come and take them home.
"Your Excellency, three more soldiers are missing today, they must have gone too deep into the northern region......"
"Your Excellency, the hunting party has encountered a lot of fierce beasts, and our weapons have suffered a lot of losses."
"Your Excellency Lieutenant General......"
Many problems converged on the hands of the fortress commander, Lieutenant General Keller.
Lieutenant General Keller's beard is a little gray, he listens to the reports very seriously, in fact, his heart has long been numb, lack all kinds of tools, they can still maintain the basic order and stay here, it is a miracle to keep it until now, he really does not know how long he can hold out.
"Take a batch of weapons from the patrol and give them to the hunting team, and those spears made of animal teeth will be issued to the patrol, and we will bypass the giants' castles in the north and go to the west, go to the ruins of the western garrison fortress, maybe we can find some supplies there......"
Before he could finish his words, he saw the guards burst in like crazy: "Boat! Ships from the South! Sir, here it is, really here! ”
The guard was incoherent, and he didn't even know what he was talking about.
The generals ignored him and rushed to the docks.
They pushed aside the dense crowd of soldiers and stood at the front of the crowd looking out to the end of the sea.
The first to appear on the horizon were the masts, then the sails, and finally the hulls, which were lined up in front of the front and on the left and right, and there were five large ships in total.
The soldiers couldn't believe their eyes, some rubbed their eyes, some bowed their heads and cried, and many more were nervous, they were afraid that all this was their own dreams.
Several generals were quite calm, because they were basically professionals, and their eyes were better than ordinary soldiers, and they could see the flags coming from the ship, there was nothing wrong with Lordaeron's flag, but there was a problem with the banner of Minethil next to Lordaeron! Who's coming? It can't be Alsace back, right?!
"I don't want to run away anymore, pay attention to the situation for a while, you take people to seize the ship, I will help your palace, at most you will die here! Just burn my body! Lieutenant General Keller whispered to a few of his colleagues.
He's had enough of it over the years, ordinary soldiers don't know the news from the outside world, he's not so closed, all kinds of scout reports will gather in his hands, it's bragging to say that he has a complete grasp of the situation in Northrend, but he can tell one, two, three about the information in the nearby area.
With the orders of the commanders, the enthusiasm of the soldiers faded in an instant, what does it mean? And the possibility of a fight? Isn't that the boat that came to pick us up?
The five ships were getting closer and closer to them, and they also saw some clues, and it was hard to say anything else, at least this was not a ship of the undead, and there was no stench of the ship of the undead.
"Hold on! Wait for my orders! Lieutenant General Keller couldn't figure out what was going on for a while, but he thought it was always good to be cautious.
The terrain here in Vagaard is very good, the docks built are very regular, the draft is very deep, and there is no problem at all for large ships to dock.
With the help of experienced sailors and navigators, five ships sailed from the newly built port of Struj in Lordaeron for nine days to Howling Fjord in Northrend.
Vanessa pulled Gianna on the thigh, she also brought her newly appointed military adviser Garrod. Shadow Song, and Santis, who brings her own dry food and has to come to help. Hazuki.
Vanessa is not afraid of the undead, and the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, but she has nothing to do with the flying super fortress Naxxramas.
This thing can fly, and the internal space is large, like a small city, and it is no problem to install one or two thousand undead spirits.
If Naxxramas parachutes into the royal capital of Lordaeron and the ghouls are thrown down like dumplings, she really can't hold the royal capital, and fear will be contagious, and the city inhabited by 150,000 people may be breached by one or twenty thousand undead.
Vanessa would never allow this to happen, Garrod. Shadow Song advised her to put the battlefield outside, away from Lordaeron.
Thinking about it, she thought of Howling Fjord, this time in addition to taking these soldiers home, she also wanted to see if she could set the battlefield here.
In order to be more convincing, she put on her full outfit, and deliberately took out the dusty crown that had been sealed for half a month from the cabinet, her crown was just not as particular as the crown of Galia, and the gems were fake, but it was still gorgeous from the outside.
Not everyone can wear a crown these days, even if she is an ordinary soldier who can't read a single word, she will not be regarded as a passerby.
"You are?" Lieutenant General Keller looked at her suspiciously.
Vanessa stood on the deck, condescendingly watching them without speaking, and was silent for more than ten seconds before she slowly spoke: "Dear gentlemen, your merits will not be erased, you are all heroes of the alliance. I, the Reverter, Hope. Vanessa. Struiy. Minahir, in the name of Marshal of the Alliance and Regent of Lordaeron, has now announced the receipt of command of Vagaard, and you can choose to continue serving here or board the ship to return to Lordaeron in three days. ”
The soldiers were still digesting the news, and several generals quickly grasped the crux of the problem.
"The Republic??" Lieutenant General Keller asked.
Vanessa nodded: "Yes, before Arthas killed his father and King Lordaeron, he was defeated, and 700,000 civilians died under the butcher's knife. A month ago, Lordaeron returned to the country, and we have recovered most of the land, and now I am here to take you home! ”
