Chapter 43: The Lost Land (Part II) (Page 1/1)

"Believe me, Ares, they are all still there, most of the soldiers fled from that village, many died, but many escaped. The fog and the wind and snow have confused our warriors, as well as the Scourge Legion. Unable to have a unified operation, many fighters escaped as a result. Rest assured, the last sight I saw was - our warriors were retreating, while enemy zombies and ghouls were running around on the ground. ”

After meeting Liadrin, the knightess told Ares about that day. Because they are in different positions on the battlefield, they see different situations. Ares was worried about the situation of the main army in the rear, and Liadeline happened to be on the flank of the phalanx at the time, and was personally involved in the whole process.

"In fact, the most terrifying thing in that battle was not the Scourge army, we encountered them countless times. The most terrifying of all is the Frost Dragon. It will release not only frost breath, but also fear. It will unleash endless fear and make our warriors lose the courage and confidence to fight it. That's the key. ”

Leadline leaned against the tree and continued. Her blonde hair was stained with dust and debris, but she still looked energetic.

"I know, that ice dragon is no ordinary ice dragon. She was the deceased spouse of the dragon king Malygos. We can't deal with it without powerful fire magic. ”

Ares said with a frown. This was originally the most powerful guardian of the Lich King on the Ice Light Fortress, but in this magical real world, there is no such thing as a copy, and those terrifying creatures will not wait for you to form a group to open up the wasteland...... They can be found anywhere. Even if it's the densely populated city of Stormwind......

"Where are the fire mages who are strong enough?"

Liadline then asked.

"Dalaran, maybe Ronin and Winlessa can organize such a force......"

"Don't count on Winlesa, Quel'Thalas has been destroyed, my people are few left, and magicians are scarce."

Liadline returned dissatisfied.

"Help as much as you can, and now is not the time to care about racial interests."

"I'm not speaking for the Blood Elves! I'm talking about objective facts. ”

"Okay, okay, okay, think I misunderstood you......"

Ares didn't want to continue arguing with her, but just did it hastily. It's just that he knows that the current Dalaran is no longer the awesome Dalaran in the game who can fly over Northrend. Dalaran here, although it is in the air, cannot reach the hinterland of Northrend. The dark energy of Icecrown held Ronin and the other Dalaran mages in their tracks. In short, the mage is no longer the protagonist of this war. In fact, since the outbreak of the Scourge War, Ares has not seen a mage who can turn the tide with a single enemy. They tend to run out of breath after a cast of spells, and the mages are more like Azeroth's special forces than the Legion's infantry and cavalry......

"So where are we going next? The Great Lord of Lordaeron. ”

Straightening her hair, Liadline asked calmly.

"To the east, my griffons will guide us in our direction. I don't dare to ride her again, because I don't dare to guarantee that there are still Scourge troops around us, riding her will only add to her burden. Once in danger, it is not easy for the snow eagles to get rid of each other. ”

After taking a bite of the dry food handed by the other Blood Elf knights, Ares replied politely.

"I have to admit that she is very brave, but ...... I don't like her ......."

Liadline said. Ares saw that the female knight tried to stroke Snow Eagle's head, but the large griffin didn't seem to like strangers touching her. She spreads her wings and makes an aggressive look, warning Liadline not to come closer.

……

The journey for several days was full of hardships, and a dozen female knights followed Ares and Liadline with difficulty. Bitterly cold and snowy, this should be a warm season, but in the keel wilderness of Northrend, it is a scene of ice and snow. The Blood Elves of Quel'Salas began to miss their homeland, the Forest of Eternal Song, and the year-round spring there. And Ares also remembered Lordaeron, the summer in the hills of Hillsbrad, the green hills that stretched to the end of the eye. The sun softly sprinkles on the earth, and the wooden house by the small lake is a portrayal of the happy life of the family. The time he spent there with Sylvanas...... Now it seems that it is out of reach. Gone are those days since setting foot on the continent of Northrend.

On the seventh day, everyone was "out of ammunition and food." The elven knights had run out of dry food and could no longer find any food. Even Ares's war horses followed weakly, yes, the keel wilderness, a wilderness, and even the grass could not be found. Luckily, Snow Eagle has finally found a safe place, a place of refuge.

However, when Ares and Liadline followed the griffon's direction, they saw a different picture. Here, there were no coalition troops stationed, and there were no villages of local residents. Rather, it is a castle building with red tiles and white walls. At the top of the building, a huge flag is planted. Even though it had been a long time since they had seen the flaming red emblem, Ares and Liadline remembered that it was the insignia of Lordaeron's once largest military organization, the Scarlet Crusade.

"God, didn't you say the Scarlet Crusaders were gone? Why in Northrend, there are still their troops? ”

Lying in the snow, Liadline asked Ares in surprise. In order to hide themselves, they bury themselves in the snow, where the snowflakes and silver-white armor blend well to keep them from being discovered by wild beasts and enemies. For better communication, Liadline lay on her stomach at a distance of less than half a meter beside Ares. so that they can communicate quietly.

"I don't know, maybe the Northern Expedition organized by the Scarlet Crusaders didn't wipe out all of them?"

Faced with Liadeline's question, Ares was also puzzled. But Liadline quickly took her anger out on him......

"You don't know? You don't know that you're going to let your griffons lure us to this place? You and I know very well what kind of organization the Scarlet Crusade is. Damn, I might as well follow you on my own. This griffon is a fool! ”

Liadline complained. There is no way back for them, because they have run out of food, and it is impossible to turn back. The griffons have guided them here, however, put them in an even more dangerous situation. Because no one knows if the Scarlet Crusaders stationed here are still as fanatical and bloodthirsty as they used to be. They slaughtered civilians and slaughtered everyone who did not share their ideas and beliefs.

"Listen, elf. We now have no choice but to take the risk and try to communicate with them. It's better to encounter human forces than to encounter the undead of a natural disaster. Maybe there were no Alliance troops within a few miles of the wasteland, or maybe we were too far away from the big army, so Snow Eagle brought us here. At the very least, we are paladins, and I think the Scarlet Crusaders, even if they are bloodthirsty, will give us some food for the sake of the Holy Light, and for the sake of our common fight against the undead. Or, although they still wear the robes of the Scarlet Crusaders, they may no longer be the bloodthirsty and brutal Crusaders they once were. ”

Ares turned his head and said sternly. Liadrin's grumbling stopped. Indeed, complaining will not solve any problems, and they can only try their luck now......
