Chapter 61: The Birth of the Scarlet Crusade

"I found something strange nearby...... The traces of the battle here suggest that it is likely that quite a few people left Taloon County and entered the mountains and forests of the south. Nathanos came to report to Su Chen with a bow and arrows on his back, his combat experience was indeed extremely rich.

"It was Miss Abydis who told us to evacuate, and she said that His Royal Highness the Prince would definitely come to rescue us, so she told everyone to hide in the southern forests, and we and Davey Croford and they were here to delay the attack of the undead, and most of the inhabitants had already evacuated before I was injured and unconscious, and Miss Abydis should have evacuated with me." Before Su Chen could speak, Karin Redpass on the side had already explained.

After Su Chen heard this, his face was cloudy.

It was a good thing that the inhabitants of Dalonshire had escaped, but he didn't know why Bridget Abidis had come to Dalon alone!

Her current strength is just an ordinary paladin, not the future general of the Scarlet Crusader, and she should not be confident enough to defeat the army of the undead on her own.

"Let's go into the mountains and have a look." Su Chen muttered, maybe he could only find out more after meeting Bridget Abidis in person.

The southern part of Talon County is a primeval jungle, and delving into it is no less dangerous than facing an army of the undead.

Su Chen did not let the elven troops enter, but rode the griffin, which was listless due to lack of food, and prepared to use the air superiority to find the residents of Talon County who had escaped into the mountains and forests.

After circling in the air and killing the two gargoyles that tried to attack the griffons, Su Chen quickly saw a dazzling light coming from the dense forest below.

The light was familiar to him...... It was the golden light of the Light!

Su Chen immediately controlled the griffin to fall towards the place where the holy light lit up just now.

"Your Royal Highness, are you really here?"

Before he could get off the griffin, a familiar and surprised voice rang out from the bushes.

Then a figure rushed out excitedly, it was Bridget Abydis, who was holding a sword and shield.

But she looked even more embarrassed than she had seen her first, and her body was already scarred, even the shield was broken.

"You're hurt?" Su Chen frowned, but he had to swallow the words he originally wanted to blame.

"It's just a few minor injuries, and it's nothing to have the Light on you." Bridget Abydis waved her hand with a big grin.

"I heard you didn't bring the army with you this time? Alone in the rescue of Talonshire? Su Chen looked around and asked in some surprise.

There must have been a lot of people hiding in the nearby bushes, but they were all civilians with little combat power, and they were secretly watching him through the gaps in the leaves.

"Hmm......" Bridget Abidis, who was still full of excitement just now, immediately lowered his head, not daring to look at Su Chen at all.

"Why are you so stupid, can you fight against the army of the undead alone?" Su Chen couldn't help but be a little speechless.

"Your Highness...... I'm sorry. Bridget Abydis's voice was as low as a mosquito.

"Huh? Is there something wrong? Su Chen's heart tightened, and Bridget's expression made him feel faintly bad.

"The army of the Hearthburg was taken away by my father, and I failed to complete the task assigned by His Highness, so I ...... You can only come to Talonjun alone. Abidis whispered, his voice full of guilt.

"The army of Fort Hearthplace has been taken away, where have they been taken?" Su Chen frowned and hurriedly asked.

You must know that the thousands of troops in Fireplace Fort are a force that he has obtained with great difficulty, and he originally wanted to let this elven ranger army cooperate with each other.

"My father and they have taken them to the capital of Lordaeron, and they want to unite the remnants of their Silver Knights and the forces of Generalissimo Garisos to retake Lordaeron." Bridget Abydis still didn't dare to look up.

Su Chen couldn't help but be stunned: "Going to attack the capital of Lordanlun?" Are they crazy, even if these surviving armies are all combined, there are not many, but they can barely defend the fireplace fort, and take the initiative to run to attack the city, isn't that looking for death? ”

"Yes...... They all said that the time when the undead army was heading to Silvermoon was the best time to reclaim Lordaeron......" Bridice Abydis whispered.

Although her voice was full of apologies, Su Chen could tell that she should also support the attack on Lordanren.

"Hmph, even if the capital of Lordaeron is recovered, it has long been in ruins, and when the main force of the undead returns, it is not necessary to let it out, unless they can defeat the main force of the undead on the frontal battlefield, the others can't see it clearly, can't Uther not see the current situation clearly." Su Chen said with some anger.

However, he was also quite puzzled in his heart, with Uther's steady character, he would never be so impulsive......

"It has nothing to do with Lord Uther, it was Lord Mograine who expelled Lord Uther with that weapon called the Ember Bringer, and then took control of the Hearthfort, and together with my father, they recruited a large number of survivors to form an army ready to take revenge on the undead, now they are called ...... Scarlet Crusaders. Bridget Abydis lowered her head as she had just lifted her head.

"Scarlet Crusade...... Damn, it's still coming! Su Chen couldn't help but be extremely angry in his heart, he never expected that Mograine would return to Lordaeron so soon, and also bring the Ash Messenger!

Of course, what angered him the most was that these fanatical fellows had no idea of the existence of him, Prince Lordaeron, and directly seized control of the Fireplace Castle!

"It seems that there is still a problem with my reputation......" Su Chen quickly calmed down.

After all, almost the entire continent now knows about Arthas's murder of his father and the destruction of the country, and it is impossible to explain it clearly in just a few words.

However, after Uther became an undead, he had no strong evidence to directly prove his identity.

Tyran's young age, and his admiration for Uther, made it easy for him to believe in his identity, but Mograini and the others didn't necessarily believe in his identity as a prince.

Su Chen barely suppressed the anger in his heart after taking a deep breath and asked, "How long have your father and Mograini been gone?" ”

"They left the Hearthburg one step ahead of me, it's been almost ten days now, and they should be near Andohar."

"Ten days ......" Su Chen was already frowning, it seemed that he had wasted a lot of time leading the elven troops all the way south on foot, if he could have returned to the Hearthburg directly by griffin, he might have been able to prevent these things from happening.

However, the most important thing now is not regret and sigh, you must know that the main force of the undead scourge has also returned to Lordaeron one step ahead of him, and at this moment he is probably also approaching the area of Andorhar.

If the two meet, the newly-born Scarlet Crusade will likely be wiped out in no time!
