Chapter 266: The Undercity is lost
"Let's go, Tarunmir has probably fallen too, and the task of the queen will be left to me." The senior executive was resolute.
The old knight fought with her for a while, and seeing that she was determined to die, he immediately stopped persuading her, and cooperated with the withered to organize civilians to retreat into the tunnel.
The Forsaken are not fools, seeing that there is a way to survive here, no one wants to fight to the death, and rush to the secret passage like a swarm.
Order no longer existed, and more and more civilians on the defensive line knew about the existence of the secret passage, and they threw away their weapons and tried to flee for their lives. No matter how much the Blightburners tried to organize their personnel to resist, they couldn't organize it, and the defense line of the alchemy area completely collapsed.
The remaining 30,000 Forsaken civilians were crowded in the usually spacious palace of the Banshee King, with human soldiers in the back and a narrow tunnel in front, they begged to let them go first, the prestige of the withercaller and the old knight could not cope with the current situation, the two could only turn around and wave their swords at their people, and after scaring the chaotic civilians, they took the remaining high-ranking talents in the tribe into the tunnel.
The High Consul lived up to her oath to the Banshee King and fought to the death even though one of her arms had her arm cut off.
In the end, the old Ferdin, who was rushed to the scene, smashed his head with a hammer and returned to the kingdom of the dead as he wished.
"And the tunnel?!"
Vanessa was stunned when she heard the news, and by the time she entered the Undercity, the battle was almost over.
The Undercity's underground pipes lead in all directions, and most of the Forsaken are hiding in the horns of the city, but more than 50,000 Forsaken have died in this battle alone, and if you count the Forsaken killed in the areas of Brill, Deathknell, Tarenmere, and Thurberchel, the number of this group has plummeted by two-thirds.
Although she never took part in the battle, some soldiers from the Wild West met the old knight Grian. Stallman, their expressions were extremely tangled, the once respected superior had become a death knight, and this was not a small blow to them.
Vanessa was also a little stunned, she never expected that the old knight would become a death knight, and it seemed that he was still quite used by Sylvanas.
What a strange fate.
She quickly turned her mind to other places, this battle was used to the extreme, her own casualties were very small, and the loss of the forsaken was almost like the extermination of the clan.
Less than a thousand were taken by the withercallers and the old knights, and the rest died in the Undercity.
Although Sylvanas still has an elite army on the road, these civilians are also an indispensable asset to a community, and without tailors, tanners, blacksmiths, and experienced professional trainers, soldiers alone cannot sustain a power for long.
A large number of the bodies of the forsaken were dragged outside the ruins of the royal capital, and a large area was densely piled up.
Quickly cut through the mess, Vanessa directly ordered, burn!
Many of the weapons used by the Forsaken have also been corrupted by the power of death, and these weapons are no longer usable, and they are simply thrown into the furnace to be refined.
While clearing the city of the remnants of the Forsaken and preparing to continue the battle, Vanessa also sent the general Abidis to lead 3,000 soldiers to attack the largest Forsaken stronghold outside the Undercity, the town of Brill, and then swept away several large estates and the mill of Agamandel along the way, and finally went south to attack the town of Deathknell and completely occupy the Sytilisfard woodland.
This area is vast, and the forgotten say that there is not much to say, and not too little.
Kill one less one.
A dull knock on the door sounded in front of the palace of Lordaeron, and Vanessa, old Fording, and Gianna pushed open the palace door and walked in with a heavy heart.
The tall dome, the beautifully carved columns around it, and the throne, which was not too plain but not luxurious, appeared before the three of them.
Time seemed to freeze forever in this hall, and the dark red blood stains in front of the throne seemed to tell people about the tragedy that had taken place here.
The room was unusually dark, and even with the door open, the light was still so heavy.
Whether it was Arthas, or later Valimas, or Sylvanas, they all sealed the palace, and the king was ruined, but only here has been preserved, and even after five years, the old atmosphere of this place seems to give people many illusions of the past.
"Well, let's go." The heavy atmosphere of the scene made Vanessa no longer interested in continuing to watch, and what to do here will wait for Jialia to go north.
"Your Highness, our battle is not over yet, and the Banshee King will not give up on the Undercity." Old Verding reminded her.
Vanessa also understands Sylvanas's character, and it is impossible for her to eat this suffocation, and the other party will definitely retaliate back with more radical means.
"I've sent my men to investigate, and we're going to keep ready for battle."
......
On the other side, the Blightcaller and the Old Knight struggled to escape the humans in the mountains, and he contacted the Banshee King again.
The Banshee King mobilized quickly and dispatched faster than humans, but she lacked siege weapons such as dragons, artillery, and tanks, and Stratholme was a heavily guarded military fortress for the Undead Legion, leaving the Death Knight Baron Devonriel and 10,000 undead soldiers to garrison when he traveled north to Northrend.
The Forsaken attacked hard for three days and had to change their strategy.
After storming the main gate with 10,000 men, making a lot of sacrifices, and attracting the attention of the undead legions, Sylvanas led the remaining 15,000 men through the side gate of Stratholme.
As a banshee, Baroness Anastalisa chose to surrender at the first time, she was a banshee anyway, and now there is no problem in taking refuge in the king of banshees.
The spider demon Nerubuenkan did not make a fuss at all, and stupidly came out to meet the enemy, and was nailed to death by Sylvanas with an arrow in his hand on the outer wall of the psychic tower.
The pale Malekhi is very single, this thing is a cursed god cult, he is not an undead, he is still a human, this guy is greedy for life and afraid of death, in the face of Sylvanas's sharp arrows, he surrendered without much hesitation.
Mayor Basshras was killed in battle, and Ramsden the Great Abomination Swallower was killed in battle.
In the end, Sylvanas led the men to breach the halls of the Council and killed the Lich King's general in Stratholme, the Death Knight Baron Devoniel.
Stratholm was breached, the undead in the city were killed, and the Forsaken occupied this military fortress, but their own losses were not small, a full 3,000 soldiers were killed in battle, and a lot of various military supplies were lost, but Stratholme was very poor and it was very difficult to replenish.
At this moment, the Withburner's magical communication sounded, and humans attacked the Undercity.
Before the Banshee King could figure out the meaning behind this, less than an hour later, the Blightburner reported to his mistress again that the Undercity had fallen!
