Chapter Ninety-Two: Paladin's Expansion Plan
The outskirts of the Hearthh Valley were still full of undead, and there were even several camps with meat grinders stacked in them, and it was obvious that the undead scourge had not given up attacking here, which made Su Chen quite uneasy in his heart.
It wasn't until he avoided the main force of the undead, either killed or relied on his copycat stealth ability to make his way to the walls of Hearthvale, and saw the Lordaeron banner still fluttering on the castle of Hearthvale, that he breathed a sigh of relief.
Old Fordin's ability is indeed trustworthy, relying only on some old and weak soldiers to hold on to the Valley of the Hearth under the siege of tens of thousands of undead!
Su Chen's arrival greatly encouraged the soldiers who had been nervously defending the city, and almost all the people in Hearthvale recognized his status as a prince.
However, to Su Chen's surprise, when he saw Old Fordin, he learned that Mograini and the others had not returned to Hearthvale.
"Didn't they make a breakout?" Su Chen's heart sank violently, if Mograine and the others were killed in battle, then there would be no army in the territory of Lordaeron that could compete with the undead natural disaster.
"No, they broke through successfully, but the losses were relatively large, Adidas and Mograini felt that this ambush was completely their responsibility, and they felt guilty, so they ...... Don't dare to come back to the Valley of the Hearth. Tirio smiled wryly.
"Don't dare to come back? So where are they now? Su Chen couldn't help but be speechless about this.
"Still in the Tirisfal Glades, in the northeast of the Spider Canyon, there is a relatively secluded monastery where they are currently guarded, collecting the defeated and wounded by the way."
"Monastery?!" Su Chen couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this.
In his memory, there was indeed a very famous monastery in the northeast of the Tirisfal Glade, and that was the Scarlet Monastery!
"Can you hold it there?" Su Chen hesitated for a moment and then asked.
Whether this is fate or not, the Scarlet Crusaders and the Scarlet Monastery have appeared, but now he is the leader of this army, and the most important thing to consider is the safety of this army, as for the future direction and outcome of this army, as long as he is there, he will definitely not go down the old path of the Scarlet Crusaders.
"Tyran has come back once, saying that there is not much danger for the time being, and that they are doing their best to expand the monastery into a strong fortress, and at the same time they are trying to open a way from the mountains to the north, and once a new road is opened, it can be connected to the Valley of the Hearth, and then the abbey can become the frontier fortress of our attack on the royal capital of Lordaeron." Old Ferding introduced.
"Oh, that's a good idea." Su Chen's map of Lordaeron appeared in his mind, and he found that the straight-line distance from the Scarlet Monastery to the Valley of the Hearthplace really didn't seem to be that far.
If you really find a new way, then you can bypass the undead scourge and go directly to the Scarlet Monastery from the Valley of the Hearth, which will have a great advantage in both attack and defense, and also solve the hidden danger that there is no way out in the Valley of the Hearth.
"Then let them stay there for the time being, it is best to gather all the resistance forces on the other side of the Tirisfal Glade, we have suffered too much loss in the battle of the royal capital of Lordaeron, and we must recover as soon as possible."
"Well, in fact, even if they retreat to the Valley of the Hearth, they won't be able to sustain so many troops with the food and material output near the Valley alone." Old Ferding smiled bitterly.
Su Chen couldn't help frowning when he heard this, the war was fought to the end of the economy and logistics, but today's opponent is an undead natural disaster, such an opponent does not need economy and logistics at all, and only his own side is constrained by materials.
In fact, if it weren't for the fear of being too shocking, Su Chen would have preferred to form an army of the undead of his own.
However, since the ordinary undead have long since lost their own souls, they must be controlled by themselves after control, and with his current mental power, he can only affect the undead near his body, which is too big compared to the powerful spiritual power of Nao Zu, which can almost spread throughout Azeroth.
After all, the main function of the Helm of Domination is to strengthen the user's mental power, so as to control all the undead, although Frost Sorrow also has the ability to control the undead, but that can only be regarded as a subsidiary ability of Frost Sorrow after the battle, and has no effect on the user's mental power.
Therefore, Su Chen's main control object can only be an undead powerhouse like Uther who still has a part of his soul, or an undead spirit who is directly transformed from a living person like the Barov family, who can still fight on his own after being controlled by Frost Grief, without his distraction to control it.
However, such elite undead are really difficult to encounter, and if you want to form your own army of undead, you can only accumulate slowly.
"Have you seen the High Elves' ranger troops?" Since he was unable to build his own army of the undead for the time being, Su Chen quickly thought of another army that he could control, and that was the Elven Ranger in Sylvanas's hands.
He hadn't seen any elves since he entered the Hearthvale, which made him a little worried.
Old Ferding immediately shook his head and said, "No, none of the High Elves have come to the Valley of the Hearth during this time, I wonder if they will go somewhere else." ”
"Elsewhere...... Are they still in the hands of Tyr? Su Chen couldn't help but be confused, in this real world of Azeroth, Lordaeron was too desert, and a team of more than a thousand elves could find a small forest to live in, and it was too difficult to find it.
"Perhaps, now we are on our own, and I am training the able-bodied men from among the refugees and the lumberjacks to expand the army." Old Ferding sighed slightly.
Su Chen nodded and said, "Well, we need more troops, and more paladins...... The Holy Light's divine power has a strong restraining effect on the undead. ”
"Paladin...... But paladins are not easy to cultivate. Old Ferding immediately frowned.
Su Chen naturally knew the difficulty of cultivating a paladin.
You must know that even when Arthas first joined the Silver Hand, many people thought that he did not fully meet the standards of paladins, but relied on the identity of Prince Lordaeron to get into it, and there were only a few paladins in the first generation.
"Can we lower the requirements of some paladins and recruit more ordinary soldiers to become paladins, so that we can have more elite strength against the undead." Su Chen looked at Old Furding with some expectation, after all, in the World of Warcraft, the Blood Knight has no faith at all and can use the Holy Light, and the Blood Crusader also has the power of the Holy Light after becoming crazy, which shows that the Holy Light does not have too strict requirements for users, and the Paladin's large number of codes of conduct are just self-moral constraints.
Old Ferding was hesitant when he heard this: "This ...... Lowering the requirements would likely result in a mixed team of Paladins, which would defeat the Paladin's original purpose. ”
Su Chen immediately shook his head and said: "In the past, it was the external conditions that allowed us to choose one in a hundred miles slowly, but now we are facing the threat of the undead natural disaster, it is difficult for everyone to save their lives and their homes, at present, we only have so many soldiers, if we want to fight those undead, we can only become strong as soon as possible, and with the help of the power of the Holy Light will be the best choice, even if there will be good and bad, but I think it is more benign after all." ”
"What Your Highness said also makes sense, I will think about it, maybe I can indeed simplify the rules for becoming a paladin." Old Ferding hesitated.
"Well, why don't we use the Valley of the Hearth as a pilot, Lord Tirio, you can choose some loyal elites from among the soldiers defending the city to train the paladins." Su Chen didn't want to give him too much time to hesitate, he knew very well that the Undead Scourge and the Burning Legion would not give him too much time.
