Chapter Eighty-Three: Catching Up

"Immediately gather all the members of the Violet Eye, as well as high-ranking and above mages, and rush to the Alterac Mountains, under the command of Lord Modra, who is bound to recapture the Book of Medivan." Antonidas gave the order without hesitation.

At this moment, Su Chen finally understood what it meant to be in the mountains and rivers, and there was no way out, and the willows and flowers were bright and another village.

If the Book of Medivan really hasn't been obtained by the Undead Scourge, maybe there's a chance to get it back!

He hurriedly recommended himself: "I'll go and see it too, I've been to Alterac before, and I'm familiar with it." ”

In that snowy mountain forest with complex terrain, the combat effectiveness of the mage has been greatly limited, and it may not be the opponent of the undead army, not to mention that the enemy he is facing now is still some crypt spiders that can burrow into the ground and ambush, which is even more difficult to deal with.

"Well, His Highness said before that he hoped that Dalaran could send troops to help Lordaeron, and Alterac is now Lordaeron's territory, so this operation will be under the unified command of His Highness, which can be regarded as our first step of cooperation." Antonidas smiled, but soon beckoned to Gianna again: "His Royal Highness the Prince may not be very familiar with the battle of mages, you go with His Highness to assist His Highness in directing the battle, and by the way, go to my Mage Tower to get some high-level magic scrolls in case you need them." ”

Su Chen couldn't help frowning, needless to say that he was only a nominal commander, the actual commander of these mage troops was definitely Modra, and he could at most convey some suggestive orders through Gianna.

However, as the chief archmage of Dalaran, Antonidas's collection of magic scrolls is definitely some high-end goods, which will make the trip much safer, and it is also a very good thing to have Gianna by his side.

Due to time constraints, the meeting had to be aborted, and the duo and Modra quickly made their way out of the city through the skeleton-strewn streets, and then loaded into the horses they had prepared and headed for the Alterac Mountains.

When he came to the bottom of the mountain, Su Chen saw that there were already a lot of people gathered here, most of them were mages, and there were also several spell breakers wearing exquisite armor, and it seemed that they had also arrived in a hurry.

Mordra casually unfolded a magical map, and a three-dimensional Alterac mountain range immediately appeared on it, with quite detailed information on it.

This made Su Chen's eyes a little hot, it seemed that these mages had studied a lot of good things by hiding in the mage tower all day long.

"The terrain of the Alterac Mountains is too complicated, although we have made a very detailed magic map, it is estimated that there will still be a lot of dangers when going up the mountain, and it was I who led people to destroy the kingdom of Alterac back then, and now those syndicates are afraid that they have long hated Dalaran...... "Modra said with a wry smile.

Su Chen couldn't help but be stunned, he naturally knew that the Alterac Kingdom was destroyed by Dalaran because of his defection to the orcs, but he didn't expect that it was Modra who personally led people.

"Those syndicates are all average, so there shouldn't be much of a threat." Gianna said, and it seemed that she knew a lot about the secrets of the kingdom of Alterac.

"Well, but they are the head snakes here after all, and they must be careful after entering the mountain." Modra nodded, and after roughly regrouping the team gathered at the bottom of the mountain, he led the group up the mountain.

Thanks to the fact that there was a guide in the team, everyone quickly arrived at the location where the target was found.

It was a cave, supposed to be the lair of some kind of beast, and a fishy stench could be smelled from afar, but now it was covered with spider silk.

Su Chen dismounted and took a closer look, the entrance of the cave had been expanded a lot, and there were indeed obvious traces of masonry scratching on the snow, it seemed that the treasure chamber had not been opened by these cave spiders.

"Looks like we still have a chance." Su Chen's face showed a hint of excitement.

Originally, he was worried that those crypt spiders would be handed over to flying spirits such as bone dragons after stealing treasures, but now judging from the traces on the ground, the treasure chamber was still transported from the land by these spiders.

Of course, this is probably because the undead did not expect that the besieging troops would be wiped out in the first place, otherwise the undead scourge could easily obtain this treasure chamber here.

"Well, but these spiders are really big, I'm afraid they will be difficult to deal with......" Modra's attention fell on the spider tracks in the snow.

"Oh, you can see that, too?" Su Chen couldn't help but be a little curious.

"Your Highness, the deepest footprint you have seen, not only stepped through the entire snow layer, but even plunged into the permafrost below, I estimate that its weight is at least several thousand catties, and the distance between these footprints is at least three or four meters away, judging by the number of spider legs, its size has reached at least ten meters long." Mordra said with a furrowed brow.

For ordinary creatures, size has always been proportional to strength, and this more than ten meters long spider is comparable to a dragon, and its strength is absolutely extremely powerful.

"Could it be that Xiaoqiang came from Northrend?" Su Chen secretly thought in his heart, the ordinary crypt spider must not be so big, and the one who appeared here and took away the treasure chamber was probably the kind of boss-level crypt lord.

It seems that Arthas did not fall due to his appearance, and the Lich King Neozu had to send more undead elites to Lordaeron.

"Let's follow the trail together, but be careful, these spiders can dig into the ground, and it's easier to hide in this snow." Modra shouted a shout to the mages around him.

Everyone immediately rode their horses and chased along the footprints, since the other party was carrying a heavy and huge treasure chamber, the speed of the advance would definitely not be too fast, and there should be a good chance to catch up.

However, as the pursuit continued, the mountain road was extremely rough, and the horses soon became unable to move forward normally, and continued to slip to fractures or sink into the snow, and they had to abandon their horses and start walking in the snow, which greatly reduced the speed of the pursuit.

In particular, you have to be careful that there will be syndicates or undead attacks in the mountains and forests next to the road along the way, so that the speed of progress is getting slower and slower.

"If you go on like this, you can't catch up with those spiders at all, Fergus, you people with the eye of violets catch up as fast as possible, and when you encounter an enemy, you will use the advantage of the armor of the spellbreaker to entangle it, and the rest of the people can advance in batches according to their own speeds, remember not to Luodan, and take care of each other in case of a sneak attack by the enemy." Modra knew very well that with the weak physical strength of the mages, it was difficult to maintain a fast speed in the snow, so he had to change his strategy, hoping to use the elite to catch up with those spiders, as long as he could delay the battle, the follow-up mage troops would be able to calmly rush to participate in the battle.
