Chapter 255: Sentinel Ridge

The construction of the new base has been completed, and the two-hundred-mile area around the base has been cleared. The support fleet promised by Prodmore has also arrived, anchored near the shores of the Western Wilderness, ready to provide assistance to the new base, and if the battle situation on land is unfavorable, it can also cover the retreat of Su Chen's expeditionary force to the sea.

"Now it's time for us to officially attack those demons and undead, first reclaim Sentinel Ridge, the central town of the Western Wilderness, and send someone to find out the details of Stormwind." Su Chen ordered.

This time, Mograine's paladins were also with him, after all, if they encountered the surviving inhabitants on the way to reclaim Sentinel Ridge, it was impossible for the Death Knight to settle them.

As the vanguard, the Knights of the Black Blade cleared out a large number of undead and low-level demons along the way, and even failed to kill many zombies transformed from jackals, and soon arrived at the bottom of Sentinel Ridge.

Sentinel Ridge isn't quite tall, but most of the area is the western wilderness of the plains, which is a rare strategic height.

A stone watchtower atop the hill and a low fence around it form the basic outline of this wilderness town.

Stormwind City was originally rebuilt not long ago, but its territory was too vast to quickly rebuild all the cities after defeating the orcs at the beginning, and areas like the Western Wilderness were basically at the end of the reconstruction work sequence.

At this moment, Sentinel Ridge has long been completely occupied by undead and demons, and on top of the sentry tower stands a tall demon guard, who is roaring towards the death knights below the hill, and this guy is obviously the controller of this place.

The Death Knights were soon on the charge, the small hill was no obstacle to the skeletal horses, and several bone dragons flew overhead, swirling and spitting ice into the town below.

Skeletons and zombies converted from local victims are extremely vulnerable. The bone dragon's frosty breath was quick to crumble under the stone-freezing breath, and some of the more powerful undead and demons were completely unable to withstand the Death Knight's charge.

Sentinel Ridge was soon captured.

However, when Su Chen endured the rotting breath of those zombies and entered the city, he found that it had already become a ruin.

The town was littered with ore, and it was clear that this was supposed to be the distribution center for ore from the mines of the Western Wilderness, but now the inhabitants of the city were no longer aware of their lives.

"Clean up this place if you come across survivors. You can let them settle here. Su Chen sighed.

The western wilderness is a vast area, and its inhabitants are accustomed to living in the wilderness, so there are certainly many survivors hiding in hidden places.

Su Chen stayed at Sentinel Ridge for a day, and saw hundreds of survivors rescued one after another.

The next day, the scouts sent to the Elwyn Forest also returned.

"The town is full of undead, and there are a lot of orcs, but those orcs are different from the orcs we have seen before, their skin is red, and even their eyes are red." Scouts report back.

"Red orcs...... It must have been an orc who had drunk the blood of demons. Su Chen frowned slightly. It seems that the Outlands must be controlled by demons today.

If all of this was planned by the Lich King in the shadows, then Naozu must have been in contact with the demons of the Outlands.

"This guy is really troublesome......" Su Chen sighed secretly.

In the history of Warcraft, after the defeat of the Burning Legion, the Lich King had to urgently recall Arthas and merge with it because Illidan used the Eye of Sargeras to attack the continent of Northrend, causing a rift in the Frozen Throne.

Although it is ostensibly said that the two are one, in the depths of the soul. But he was accidentally killed by Alsace.

However, Arthas was not comfortable after killing Neozu, and sat on the frozen throne for several years before he fully digested the legacy and power left by Neozu. Become the true Lich King.

In the intervening years, the entire Scourge army has been cowering in Northrend, and has not caused any major trouble to the human kingdom.

The history of this world has changed too much, and the fate of Naozu has also changed dramatically.

"Can you find out what's going on in Stormwind?" Su Chen asked.

"There are so many demons gathered near Stormwind that it's hard to get close to even if there's stealth, so we can only explore the periphery of Stormwind. We don't know much about the city, but we've sketched all the demons we can see. The scout said and pulled out a hand-drawn picture book.

Su Chen looked at the pictures, although they were very sloppy, he could vaguely distinguish the demon guards and succubi, and even the doomsday guards.

Obviously, there are still many powerful demons in Stormwind City.

"It's a pity that Onexia ran away to Blackstone Mountain. It might have been a lot easier with her help. Su Chen sighed secretly, Onexia's sudden departure made it difficult to implement his plan to try to pull the Black Dragon Legion into the water.

Su Chen was not ready to attack Stormwind City directly, it was the place where the enemy's main forces gathered, even if he could win, he would probably suffer heavy casualties, and the demons in the outer regions were endless, and his expeditionary force that came from thousands of miles could not withstand that kind of war of attrition.

In contrast, he prefers to conquer the Cursed Lands first, as long as he controls the Dark Gate, then he can cut off the support of these demons and undead, and then have enough time to recover all of Stormwind.

But getting to the Cursed Lands from the Wild West isn't easy, as it spans almost the entire Eastern Kingdom, traversing twilight forests, headwind trails, and swamps of sorrow.

Now that even Stormwind has fallen, these places must have been under the control of demons, undead, and orcs.

"We're attacking from the southwest, through the Twilight Forest, first capturing Nighttown, and then Mograine you lead the men to contact the Stormwind resistance in Red Ridge Mountain, and Teacher Uther and I will lead the Death Knights through the Upwind Trail to attack the Cursed Lands." Su Chen quickly formulated a general attack plan.

"Your Highness must not rush to attack the Cursed Lands, it is better to wait for us to contact Duke Berval and them before attacking together." Mograini said hurriedly.

"Don't worry, I won't attack rashly, if there is any big war, I will definitely not leave you behind." Su Chen said with a smile.

The army soon crossed the western wilderness, and no sooner had they passed the makeshift bridge than the landscape was noticeably different. (To be continued.) )
