Chapter 2: Escape from Stratholme (Part I)
"Captain, here!"
Orick shouted. Looking at where the Scarlet Veteran was pointing, Ares saw an iron gate, an iron gate built under an abandoned stone building.
Vaguely, Ares seemed to remember something......
Yes, isn't it the iron gate mechanism in the game that Stansom automatically falls? The player stumbles in, only to have the door click down, locking a group of unknown players inside, and then crawling out of the dark corners of countless plague-infected rats......
But this is reality, not a game, and maybe not. But maybe there is......
Ares was tangled and hesitant. But it seemed that there was no time, and the people in front were preparing to pass through that gate.
"Wait!"
In the spirit of believing what he has rather than believing what he doesn't, Ares stopped several Scarlet soldiers in front of him.
"Captain?"
The leading veteran, Orik, looked at Ares with a confused expression.
"Throw the dead body in and take a look. I felt the uneasiness that filled the place. ”
Obviously, he has experience in playing games, but here, Ares still has to pretend to be very deep. After all, to make these soldiers obey themselves, it is not based on rank. You also have to have a certain ability, the ability to lead everyone away from danger.
"Why is that?"
The veterans looked confused.
"If you are told to do it, why is there so much nonsense. Remember, you can't step through the iron gates, and you can retreat at any time if you are in danger. There are many paths to take, and we don't have to be here. ”
Ares knows that Stratholme is a great human city, and its road network extends in all directions, and this is only one of them, the key is to see which road has more undead and which road has fewer undead.
Reluctantly, several Scarlet Crusader soldiers began dragging the corpses, throwing them in before the necromancer arrived.
In the next second, a terrifying picture appeared.
Just as Ares saw in the game, as soon as he detected flesh entering the doorway, two large rusty iron doors fell, nearly hitting Oric and the two Scarlet Soldiers, who were carrying the corpses.
They took a step back, only to see the corpse being bitten by thousands of rats.
The chewing sound of the teeth biting at the piece of meat was so clear that several veterans were terrified.
"Boss, how do you know this is an agency?"
Oric came in shock and said tremblingly. He almost knelt down and kowtowed and said Boss, fortunately you saved his life.
"Perception, feeling, premonition, in short, I can't tell, the paladin has the ability to sense the arrival of danger."
Ares boasted. Immediately, the soldiers on both sides protected Ares more closely......
"Is there a map?"
The Scourge soldiers behind him were gradually thrown away, after all, the zombies were slow to move and couldn't keep up with the speed of the living. But for now, there is still no way out of the city, the iron gate has been closed, and another way out of the city must be found.
"Yes, yes, yes."
Veteran Oryk said, and in a panic, he pulled out a map of Zouba's Stratholme from his pocket. It still had rancid blood on it, but right now, I didn't have time to care about it.
Everyone stared at the map, anxiously looking for their location.
"We're here."
Ares shouted. The map was the same as the city he had seen before he crossed over, and Ares looked around to find the iconic Big Ben, and compared it to the logo on the map, quickly determined where his team was now.
Everyone's eyes immediately followed.
"There are two ways out of the city from here. One is to go back the way you came, through the Grand Cross Square, and then go straight out of the city. But it's impossible to go back, there are so many undead there, and if we rush over, we'll die a miserable death. Well, the other way, which is here, passes through the Lockhee Bazaar and goes out of town by the side road, which will be more detouring, but maybe there will be fewer undead. But there's a big problem with this road. From this road out of the city, we have to pass two spiritual pagodas, which, you see, are clearly marked. I'm afraid that there will be even more terrifying undead there......"
Ares said anxiously.
"As long as it's not a banshee and a necromancer, it doesn't matter, it's a big deal to kill it, those skeletons and zombies can still be dealt with."
A blood-colored soldier patted his chest and said bravely.
"No, it may be more terrifying than this, you have to be mentally prepared to run away!"
Although I just came to this world and didn't know much about this siege battle, since the iron gate trap just now was real, then for a while, the tower guarding monster of the Psychic Tower was probably also real. Ares had seen them in the game, and they ...... Neither banshees, nor skeletons or zombies, but giant undead spiders.
That is, an enlarged version of spiders and cockroaches......
But at this moment, there is no choice but to pray that God will give you a way out. I've just crossed over to Azeroth, and I haven't even seen my blood elf sister, so don't just hang up miserably.
Walk through a no-man's land, which refers to a neighborhood where there are no dead bodies. Ares saw a wooden box that had landed under the eaves and in front of the steps.
"Oric, go and see, what's written on it?"
Ares commanded. And the veteran obviously hadn't recovered from the nightmare just now, and his face was reluctant.
"Okay, okay, if you don't go, I'll go by myself."
Ares walked over and crouched down. If memory serves, Stratholme has endured many sieges by the Scarlet Crusaders, and his predecessors will surely leave something here. Stensolme Holy Water ...... Yes, Ares guessed and saw what was written on the box. When you travel through it, you have your own memories, and you can understand the human language of Azeroth.
"Brothers, come here, smear the water from these bottles on your weapons, and we need them to fight against the undead scourge."
Ares shouted.
"Don't touch the mailbox, or you'll die a terrible death."
At the same time, Ares remembered something and roared again, so as not to really invite unnecessary trouble later.
Several soldiers approached suspiciously. Ares uncorked the bottle, and then smeared the blue liquid on his weapon, and the huge warhammer suddenly glowed with a beautiful blue light.
"Brothers, pay attention, this is the Holy Water of Stratholme, they can be used to deal with the undead of natural disasters, where there are undead, these holy waters will glow, the closer the undead are, the brighter its light will be, these holy waters, can guide us, escape from danger. At the same time, fight against the undead. Save on it. ”
While plastering holy water on his weapon, Ares literally commanded his men like a commando leader.
