Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Chapel of the Light's Wish
In the game world, arrows are extremely easy to come by, but in the real Azeroth, arrows are consumables that require a lot of work to complete.
In the current state of war in Lordaeron, various factories and workshops have been destroyed, and almost all armaments can only rely on the original reserves.
"Let's try to minimize the consumption of arrows, and I'll try to destroy those meat grinders." For this kind of trouble in strategic materials, Su Chen didn't have any good solutions for a while.
The battle on the city wall was soon over, although there were many undead besieging the city, but due to the easy and difficult terrain of the Hand of Tyr, the only people who could really attack were the more than a thousand people in front and the gargoyles in the air.
The corpses of the ghouls who tried to rush to the top of the city piled up a thick layer under the walls, and the gargoyles in the air gradually dispersed after losing a lot, and flew back to patrol the air beyond the reach of bows and crossbows.
"Battles like this happen almost every day a few times, and these undead seem endless." Sylvanas looked at the undead who were retreating into the distance, and sighed slightly.
"Sooner or later, we'll wipe out these undead once and for all, right...... Have you seen Kael'thas lately? Although Su Chen said this, his heart was a little gloomy, you must know that even in the history of Warcraft, the undead natural disaster has never been completely eliminated.
"Prince Kael'thas? I didn't see it, Prince, is he in trouble? Sylvanas looked a little nervous.
"No, it's just that I met him in Dalaran and told him the news of Silvermoon City, maybe he will come to you soon."
Sylvanas breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this: "Oh, thank you so much, Your Highness, now the people of Silvermoon City are indeed panicking, and they very much need Prince Kael'thas to go back to calm people's hearts." ”
Su Chen quickly descended the castle tower, as the prince of Lordaeron, he also needed to appease people's hearts.
As the undead attack temporarily retreated, the refugees in the city finally calmed down, but the cries of the children continued to be heard one after another.
From time to time, refugees have quarrels over the distribution of tents or food.
"Is there enough food in the city?" Su Chen asked the city administrative officials accompanying him with some worry.
"Back to Your Highness, it is estimated that the grain reserves can last for more than two months." The official in charge of managing the grain is named Rupert, who wears a long sword and should also be from a military background.
"It can only last ......for two months," Su Chen couldn't help frowning slightly when he heard this, although he expected the Burning Legion to come soon, after all, the power of the Undead Scourge was already extremely powerful, and he would always find other ways to summon Akmund over, thus causing a huge change in the world situation.
However, even with the arrival of Akmund, it would take months to make it all the way to Mount Hyjal, and the Hand of Tyr might not have been able to hold out until then.
"Is there a large clearing behind the Hand of Tyr?" Su Chen asked, he remembered that in the World of Warcraft, behind the Hand of Tyr was New Avalon, a new city established by the Scarlet Crusaders after the plague, and the territory was quite vast, not only farms, but even orchards and mines.
"Behind the Hand of Tyr? It was a dense forest full of thorns, and His Highness was worried that the undead would attack from behind? Your Highness, rest assured, there is no other exit from that dense forest. Rupert replied immediately.
"Oh......" Su Chen frowned slightly when he heard this, it seemed that the new Avalon should be a refugee city established by the Scarlet Crusaders after cutting down the forest, and now there is still an inaccessible thorny jungle behind the hand of this Tyr.
"Immediately mobilize the refugees in the city, let the able-bodied form a militia to assist in defending the city, and cut down the jungle behind, set up temporary wooden houses, so as to evacuate the refugees gathered in the city, and concentrate the craftsmen in the refugees, let them make arrows to defend the city, and the other old and weak are also counted, and arrange for them to plant food that can be harvested quickly, even if it is wild vegetables." Su Chen hesitated for a while and then quickly gave the order.
Although some refugees resisted these orders, in the face of the siege of the undead scourge, everyone knew the consequences of the destruction of the city, so it went relatively smoothly.
However, although the situation in Tyr's hand is temporarily stable, Su Chen is a little worried about Uther in his heart, the Holy Light Wish Chapel is just a small church, and there is a flat river around it, there is no danger to defend at all, no matter how strong Uther is, he can't stop the army of the undead.
"I'll go to the Chapel of Light's Wish to see Teacher Uther, and the guards of the Hand of Tyr will be handed over to you and Sylvanas." Su Chen said to Bridget.
"Me? I can't. Bridget quickly shook her hand in a panic.
"You can do it, you are a qualified paladin, I have seen your loyalty and bravery, Bridget, you can be a general like your father." Su Chen naturally had a lot of confidence in this girl, you must know that the Scarlet Crusader was supported by her alone in the later stage, although she was deceived by the Dreaded Demon King, her ability to command troops was definitely not bad.
Su Chen rode a griffin and quietly took off from the rear of Tyr's hand, there were relatively few gargoyles here, and after killing more than a dozen of them, he had completely shaken off the gargoyles' tracking.
He flew directly to the Chapel of the Light's Wish, and now that he needed to gather all the power at his disposal, he naturally couldn't give up a powerful paladin like Uther, even if he had become an undead.
What's more, Uther is absolutely loyal to herself!
The Chapel of the Light's Wish was not far from the Hand of Tyre, and after less than an hour of rapid flight, Su Chen had already seen the small church below.
The griffon fluttered its wings and descended beside the chapel, a small chapel long deserted.
There was no undead army around, which made Su Chen finally breathe a sigh of relief.
"Your Highness, why are you here?" Uther's voice rang out beside him.
However, to Su Chen's surprise, Uther was not holding a war hammer, but a shovel, and looking at his appearance covered in dirt, it seemed that he was trying to dig something.
"Of course I'm here to find you, Uther, why did you come here alone?" Su Chen sneered and jumped off the griffin.
"I don't look like I'm fit to stay with those paladins......" Uther said with a gloomy expression, "I originally wanted to go to Talon County to help, but I didn't have a suitable horse, and when I arrived, it was already in ruins, and then I met Little Abydis and the Death Knights at the Cowlin junction...... Damn the undead scourge, this is a complete blasphemy against the warriors who died in battle in the past! ”
Uther clenched his fists angrily as he spoke, "I have lost the power of the Light and cannot save their souls, I can only defeat them, but I will not allow those demons to desecrate their corpses again, so I have brought those corpses back and prepared to build a cemetery under this deserted chapel to bury these warriors who once died fighting against the scourge of the undead, so that they will not be resurrected by those demons." ”
Su Chen couldn't help but feel a little gloomy in his heart, watching his former comrades-in-arms be resurrected as undead and become enemies after they died in battle, this feeling was really hateful, not to mention that Uther himself was resurrected by those Dread Demon Kings, and the anger in his heart was even more difficult to quell.
He was about to say a few words of comfort to Uther, but before he could speak, there was a slight tremor under his feet.
With the accumulated combat experience, Su Chen immediately knew that there was an enemy approaching, and it was a group of cavalry!
