Chapter 46: Blood Worries (Page 1/1)

"The people of Lordaeron will not forget you."

Ares said seriously and seriously. A faint flush could be seen on Bridget's face, and it was obvious that this sentence was very weighty for her. For so many years, for so many years, the Scarlet Crusaders have been saddled with the infamy of brutality. Finally, one day, the inheritor of the Ember Bringer stepped forward and cleared the grievances of this army. One sentence is enough, it is better than ten million gold.

"On behalf of all the members of the Scarlet Expeditionary Force, I thank you, High Lord."

Bridget said, her eyes turning red. No one can understand this emotion, to fight for the people, in the end it is seen as treason, as a demon, and now, at last, someone understands himself. And this man is also the most powerful leader of Lordaeron. Ten years of waiting have finally been in vain.

"Don't thank me, this is the glory you deserve. In fact, after you left, the Scarlet Crusaders were slaughtered in a brutal manner...... It's not an infighting, it's a real invasion of natural disasters. As soon as your father walked on his feet, a large army of the Scourge descended on the skies above the Plaguelands. That year, as a force of the Scarlet Abbey, I joined forces with the Crusader defenders of the Hand of Tyr and the Silver Dawn against the Scourge Legion. In that battle, the Scarlet Crusaders were almost completely wiped out. Silver Dawn was also badly damaged. Eventually, the remnants formed the Silver and White Crusaders and held out on the devastated continent of Lordaeron. I had to go south to seek the Alliance's support and help. ”

Sitting across from Bridget, Ares calmly recounted the history of the Scarlet Crusaders. These are things that Bridget absolutely does not know. When she left, the Hand of Tyr was a thriving town, with people coming and going. After she was gone, the battle broke out, and Naxxramas landed in the Plaguelands, and the Hand of Tyr was nearly razed to the ground.

But that doesn't matter anymore. Importantly, Lordaeron has been rebuilt, and the Ember Messenger has returned.

"So, how did you end up here? And what about the army of the Union? ”

After listening to Ares's story, Bridget was in a heavy mood and did not want to think back to those dark years, so she asked about the recent situation.

"I don't know where they are now, just like you, my soldiers and I are divided and surrounded by the Scourge Legion."

Ares replied calmly.

"You mean the Coalition is defeated?"

Bridget was a little unsettled.

"Well, but the living force is preserved. I am considered the number one enemy by the Scourge and the Lich King. They hunted me down, divided my legions, and that's it. ”

Ares replied calmly.

"Then they're bound to find it."

Bridget frowned. A few thousand Scarlet Veterans can hold on to their castles, but only if they are not the main force of the Scourge Legion. Once the army of hundreds of thousands of natural disasters descends, this few thousand people will not be enough to resist anything.

"We were careful to hide our whereabouts along the way."

The female knight Liadline added.

"It's useless, they can't find it for a while, but if there is enough time, they can find it. As long as you're important enough to them...... You know, Northrend is their turf after all......"

Brigitte said meaningfully.

"What do you mean, we have to find a way to join the big forces of the Alliance?"

Liadline asked.

"Yes. As soon as possible, the sooner the better. ”

"Great Lord, I'm not afraid to bring war here, the Scarlet Crusaders are not afraid of war, let alone the undead. However, there was no need for the Scarlet Crusaders to make fearless sacrifices. For every warrior we die in, the Lich King has one more puppet soldier. ”

Britst said, turning her gaze back to Ares, after all, he was the one who could really make decisions, the one who could really play a key role, and the one that the Scourge was most concerned about. He was the soul of the Crusaders.

"I understand that you will let my griffons find the large army with my message. But before that, this blood elf and I must stay on your side for a while. ”

Ares said, turning to look at Liadrin. The latter was sitting in a chair with his hands crossed, his face cold.

……

Scarlet Fortress, also known as Twilight Fortress. Because here, you can hardly see the other seasons, as Bridget says, there are only two seasons of the year – winter and summer, the long winter lasts a full ten months, and the summer, there are only two short months. Dark clouds often shroud the place, and wind and snow are indispensable, and it is just a matter of big and small.

Here, the food is quite adequate. The Scarlet Expeditionary Force is self-sufficient under Bridget's leadership, and the gold is of no use other than trading with the crazy goblins of the venture capital firms. Moreover, the Scarlet Expeditionary Force's main trade activities were on the purchase of wheat, which required very little overhead. As Bridget says, their main food reserve is meat. Frozen all kinds of meat.

The frozen meat that comes out of the ice cellar only needs to be roasted over the fire for ten minutes before it can be eaten. There are basically no seasonings, and even salt is a luxury. The hardships of the crusaders can be imagined. But other than that, they have nothing else to do. It was impossible to return to Lordaeron, they had no ship, no big ship that could go to sea. When General Abydis landed, he followed Alsace's example and burned the ships to his death. As a result, after the defeat of the Crusaders, there were no ships available at all. Besides, they can't go back. They have a bad reputation, and once they go back, not only will no one receive them, but they will be their enemies. To put it bluntly, the Scarlet Crusaders were enemies of the whole world long before they were under Banazar's control. So, they did so much, and in the end, they had nowhere to go. It is sad for a person to be bewitched and controlled, but it is even more sad to suffer hostility without being bewitched and controlled.

Thankfully, Ares finally accepted them.

……

"General, are you sure that Ares accepts us sincerely?"

In the Twilight Fortress, just as Ares and Liadline were settled, members of the Scarlet Crusade began to express deep concern for the outsider. Courage and honor were once everything they pursued. However, having lived in a perilous environment for a long time, many within the Scarlet Crusade suffered from anxiety to a greater or lesser extent. They believed that Ares was the heir to the Ember Bringer, otherwise he would not have wielded the weapon. But what they were worried about was Ares' character.

"What do you mean by that?"

Sitting in the office, Bridget asked, frowning.

"There's no doubt that Ares is a Messenger of Ashes, and he's not an undead either. But my concern is, if he came alone, could he just deceive us? In order for us to fight with the Scourge Legion, exhaust the last trace of strength, and then, his troops will reap the benefits? I mean, could it be that Ares didn't intend to let us go back to Lordaeron at all? You know, General, no matter how much outsiders interpret it, our reputation in Lordaeron is stinky......"

"I'm sure Ares isn't that kind of person."

Before her men could finish speaking, Bridget spoke. Although in her heart, she also has a little bit of such anxiety.
