Chapter 21: The Resumption of War (I)

The sky was gloomy, and the haze in the distance lay like a giant beast among the mountains. The rolling clouds herald a catastrophe. Outside the magnificent walls of Lordaeron, thousands of undead are standing at this moment. Blue ghostly fire burst out from these mangled "corpses".

On the city walls, the battle-hardened warriors of Lordaeron have a clear gaze, they have experienced the slaughter of Arthas, the defense of the Hand of Tyr, the battle of Lordaeron, and even the battle of the swarm, and they are as experienced as the Seventh Legion of Stormwind. These Lordaeron elites, standing on the city walls, stared at the approaching undead in the distance, without the slightest fear in their hearts.

With the country behind it, Lordaeron has been rebuilt twice, and now that people from all over the world have settled in the city, it is no longer the weak and declining Lordaeron of the past. Rather, a strong republic.

"Where did these undead come from? After the battle of the royal city, the Lich King's army has withdrawn from this continent, and these undead ......"

"Anyway, I've told the High Lord about the situation here. I'm sure Ares will give us a reply. ”

"Hmm. Even if the Great Lord himself does not come, we will be able to deal with these scum ourselves. ”

On the majestic white walls, the commander, Maxwell, the former Supreme Commander of the Silver Dawn, spoke to the members of the Knights.

They've been through so much that they've survived even with a tenfold undead siege. Not to mention the situation in front of you. With that, the two paladins removed their hammers and began to pray silently.

A pure white light bloomed from them.

In the city, in the Cathedral of the Holy Light, hundreds of new paladins are being baptized by the Holy Light, and the priests walk in front of them one by one, and the holy white light envelops the new knights, and today, they will face a real war.

"We defend glory with blood."

The oath of blood is still being passed on. Soon, battlemages and new paladins took to the white streets of the city.

In the air, the griffin knights were hovering, and from the air, the city of Lordaeron was no less large than Stormwind, with dense buildings as far as the eye could see, and the white walls surrounding the entire city, which was a magnificent view. Under the gloomy sky, Lordaeron's eagle flag fluttered in the wind.

Soon, fighting broke out at the front.

Hundreds of gas bombs from the Forsaken Legion were fired from catapults, and canisters flew toward the city of Lordaeron with foul gas and plague. However, at the same time, the alliance wizards in the city joined forces to cast spells, and the purple magic barrier rose out of thin air, like a giant shield, blocking the Forsaken's gas canisters from the barrier.

Since the battle is so cruel. After a crackling sound, countless green clouds rose from above the magic barrier, and the entire city seemed to be shrouded in a sea of green clouds.

Almost as soon as the plague weapons fell, thousands of forsaken people outside Lordaeron began to rush towards the gates of Lordaeron, dragging heavy weapons.

However, the Alliance defenders on the walls also aimed their arrows at the army of the undead outside the city......

The first rain of arrows poured across the sky, accompanied by the roar of gunfire. Outside the entire city of Lordaeron, artillery fire once again soared into the sky, and smoke and dust rose everywhere.

The veterans of Lordaeron, who had experienced the history of the fallen country and the bloody crusade, could not imagine how many warriors, how many heroic souls had fallen, and even how many stumps and broken arms had been buried in this flat land outside Lordaeron. Today, however, the battle continues.

Maybe it's the last one, Paladin Thomas instinctively had a hunch.

He raised his hammer, the heavy hammer began to glow, and before him, the first undead infantry had climbed the walls of Lordaeron. Its shield was covered with the Alliance's feathered arrows, and even one was hit by an arrow, but it still bravely climbed the walls.

Without mercy or fear, Thomas raised his hammer, and in a burst of prayers, the golden hammer fell from the sky. The Forsaken warrior raised his shield, however, his crippled limbs were not enough to withstand the old paladin's blow, and in a terrible roar, the brave undead warrior was smashed into the skull with a hammer, and his shattered body fell directly from the wall.

……

Kul Tiras.

"They are flying and stinking! I don't care if they're the Forsaken or the remnants of the Scourge Legion, I'm going to be a part of this battle. The existence of such evil creatures as the undead will never be allowed on the human continent! ”

The news of Lordaeron's siege again did not reach Northrend, it did not reach the ears of Ares. But it was passed to the Stormwind fleet that was repairing in Kul Tiras. Varian was furious when he heard the news. His position is firm, with little room for manoeuvre.

"The undead have declared war on us once again, and by the time the currents reced, the Alliance's fleet will surely land in Lordaeron. Destroy these evil legions of the undead. ”

Varian continued.

"Does Ares know about this?"

Varian's side, Grand General Marcus. Josenna asked.

"I don't know yet, but Kurtilas is relatively close to Lordaeron. It's a relatively long way from Northrend. And, now that the cold winds of the Arctic are raging in Northrend and the surrounding seas, it is difficult for letters to be delivered in time. ”

The Communications Officer replied.

"Then let the corpses of the undead fill the walls of Lordaeron!"

Varian drank.

"What do you think, Queen Catherine?"

After Varian finished speaking, he turned his head to look at the fat woman behind him. She is Gianna's mother, the current ruler of Kul Tiras, the de facto ruler. Stormwind's fleet stayed on her turf, and naturally had to respect her opinion. Although Kul Tiras was once part of the Alliance...... But now, at least, there is no clear talk of joining the alliance.

"I will support you ......"

"Thank you."

"I'm not done yet, I'll support you in killing them. But, the people of Kul Tiras, they will not provide you with another ship. Also, Varian, you don't seem to have paid for the ship to dock at the port. ”

"Damn ......"

As soon as Catherine finished speaking, Varian cursed at the old woman. But there was nothing he could do, Catherine was the lord of a nation, and she had the right to arrange her army, and she had the right to decide what Kul Tiras would stand on in this war. Moreover, the cost of the Stormwind fleet to dock at the seaport of Kurtiras has indeed not been paid......

Varian suddenly felt a little nostalgic for the Second Orc Alliance. An alliance under the co-leadership of Terenus, Lothar, and Daelin. It is the period when humanity is most united. And now, people's hearts are different. Except for Lordaeron, Stormwind, and Ironforge are the Iron Triangle, the other forces are swaying and have no integrity at all. Gianna may also be a force that can be united. But she is too far away to survive alone in Karimdo, and must always be on the guard against the ambitions of the tribe. Moreover, there is news that in the distant continent of Karimdor, humans and orcs do fight from time to time......
