Chapter 38: The Legion in the Mists (I)

"This is the local people you see?"

Looking at the sewage and stench on the ground, Ares turned to ask the scout captain. His eyes were full of doubt, and the scout captain looked terrified.

"Great Lord, this is not the case at all what I detected yesterday. At that time, the village was still very clean and everyone was alive and well. It's not what it looks like now. ”

Questioned by the Great Lord, the face of the leader of the reconnaissance team was very embarrassed. After all, after so many years as Ares's subordinate, he has never made any mistakes. That's why Ares trusted him so much, and this time, it's clear that something is wrong.

The village seems to have been attacked and is in shambles. There was no one to be found, only the fishy smell of the sea breeze kept blowing. Although it is summer, on the shore of the keel wilderness, the sea breeze blows on people like a knife.

"This place has been polluted by the undead, we must get out of here now, Ares!"

As he spoke, beside him, Sylvanas Windranger had leaned down, inserting his finger into the dirt on the ground, carefully sniffing the soil beneath his feet. Then, she raised her pointed ears and spoke to Ares with a serious expression.

As soon as Windranger finished speaking, the ground began to tremble.

In the next second, countless screams sounded from the crowd, and from under the thick snow, countless claws stretched out in an instant, which were those of zombies and crypt demons.

"They're below us!"

The soldiers screamed. The team was in disarray. At this moment, the sky began to darken, and a thick dark cloud slowly drifted from the sky, enveloping the entire village in an instant.

"Stay in formation! Don't mess around! ”

Drumm rode through the crowd and shouted. However, his shouts didn't help, and a steady stream of zombies and Nebru wormmen popped up from underground. Many of the soldiers were cut off from their calves and impaled in an instant.

The world was plunged into darkness and chaos.

Paladins and clerics roamed the wounded. In this dark place, the holy light is like a microcosm, constantly flashing in the crowd.

"It's a trap!"

Jean roared. He has taken on the form of a werewolf. Gilneys's army was the first to recover from the chaos during the sneak attack. Once the werewolf enters a bloodthirsty state, it forgets its fears. Their combat power is so strong that a werewolf can withstand at least three human infantry.

Ares didn't have time to talk nonsense, and rode through the crowd, slashing at the crazy ghouls and zombies with a sword. Once again, the Ember Bringer unleashed a brilliant light and heat at a critical moment, and no undead could stop the charge and slash of the equestrian paladin, almost all of them were one-hit kills. In less than a few moments, there were as many as a dozen undead soldiers who fell under Ares's sword.

But there are too many of them.

Like a mudslide, it surrounded the Alliance Expeditionary Force from all directions.

Jean roared and tore open a ghoul with his bare hands, knocking another rotting zombie open, followed by another zombie cradling it and trying to bite the wolf king's throat. Jean threw it on the back and slammed it to the ground, stinking juice gushing out of the zombie's mouth. Liam leaned in and clawed, and the claw pierced the zombie's eye...... The zombie twitched and struggled on the ground, and soon there was no movement......

Sylvanas bent his bow and shot at point-blank range, with an arrow shot in the head...... When the Scourge soldiers got too close, the Windranger didn't have time to bend his bow to shoot, and with a light jump, he jumped to the top of the zombie's head, and the longbow in his hand rested on the zombie's neck, and one pulled hard, and the bowstring tore open the zombie's throat, almost cutting off the entire head. Disgusting blood spurted out......

Darien wielded a rune sword, like a killing machine, slashing the undead around him with high efficiency. Although they were once of the same kind, they were all once loyal to the Lich King. And now, the Death Knight is a member of the Northern Expeditionary Army. And the Scourge is their enemy...... Darien let out a loud shout, and the surrounding land was like a tentacle of blood, sticking seven or eight Scourge soldiers firmly to the ground. He then cast a dark spell, and the blood boiled inside the Scourge soldiers, and in less than three seconds, the struggling Scourge infantry burst open and blood splattered everywhere......

A necromancer was about to flee when he saw the terrifying scene, but was pulled directly in front of him by Darien's dark spell. His face was expressionless, his two dark blue pupils flashing with only vengeance, and the cold runic sword slit his throat as the necromancer was pulled in front of him...... Warm blood splattered red in the snow......

In less than a quarter of an hour, everyone was covered in blood. However, this is not the way to go. Chaos is very bad for the alliance. The advantages of the formation cannot be brought into play, and fighting with the Scourge Legion will only consume their precious strength. When these soldiers die, they are quickly awakened by the Lich and used as members of the Scourge Legion.

"Ronin!"

In desperation, Ares called Ronin's name.

The archmage quickly grasped what Ares meant. An invisible magic began to gather around Luo Ning, and beside the archmage, purple energy gradually took shape, crackling like electricity, extending the energy to the ground. At the same time, not far away, brilliant purple circles of light began to appear on the Alliance archers and dwarven musketeers.

When the energy accumulated to a certain level, Luo Ning let out a loud cry and thrust his staff into the snow. In an instant, brilliant purple light flashed, and a thunderous sound sounded in the air. Hundreds of Alliance archers and dwarven musketeers were instantly diverted from position. One second they were fighting with the soldiers of the Scourges all over the battlefield, and the next second, they were all gathered together, and on the periphery were the heavy infantry of the Alliance and the paladins of the Silver Hand Knights.

"For Lordaeron!"

The miracle of the archmage made the warriors present extremely excited. The soldiers cheered.

The allied shooters and musketeers, who looked confused after being teleported, quickly understood what was going on. Start pumping arrows towards the periphery. The rain of arrows rained down on the Scourge like snowflakes. The Holy Light spells that the priests prayed for made the ground under the archers' feet so strong that they didn't have to worry about undead creatures breaking through the ground and attacking them from underground.

Everything, it seems, is moving in a direction favorable to the coalition forces.

Until the appearance of Kergassud in person...... Beside him were two huge giants. Yes, the Northern Expeditionary Army has never seen such a terrifying behemoth so far. The dragon's figure was faintly visible in the snow mist, and on the other side, a terrifying monster about the size of a mammoth. It seemed to be a spider and a beetle, moving its heavy body and approaching quickly. Behind this monster is an endless army of terrors, the Nebru Zerg Legion......

"What are they?"

Riding on his horse, Ares asked the Death Knight Lord breathlessly.

"Anubarak and Sindragosa, the Lich King's most capable men."

Darien replied with a solemn expression.
