Chapter Forty-Eight: Talking Zombies

The Silver Hand fell silent after receiving Claudia's decision, and as it said, it was only responsible for reminding the maiden.

After packing up for a while, taking off her clothes and lying on the bed, Claudia suddenly said to the Silver Hand, "The Silver Hand." ”

"How?"

"You know who my mother is, right?"

"Well, although her new body is different from the old one, I can guess who she is."

Claudia continued, "Since you know her, she must have a very long lifespan, right?" Then why did she like my father's mortal? ”

The Silver Hand did not answer, and apparently it could not understand the question either.

"Maybe for her, everything she has experienced in her long life in the past is not so good, and ---" Claudia speculated at first, and then she turned to recall the memories of several life and death experiences, and sighed: "Judging from my father's attitude, she should have already suffered an accident." For my mother, even if she had a long lifespan, she couldn't prevent accidents from happening. ”

"Yes, even if you are as powerful as the creator, you can't avoid the fate of falling." The Silver Hand already understood what the girl was trying to say.

"I've faced death several times, and it's a battle between life and death in front of me, and I don't know if I'll survive this battle, so a lot of entanglements don't matter in the face of life and death, cherish everything you have now, and live every day is the most important thing."

"Hmm."

The Silver Hand fell silent again, and Claudia did not continue to take the initiative to talk to the Silver Hand, but lay down on the bed and fell asleep.

Early the next morning, she followed Varian, Gianna, Crassus, Modra, Duke Sadon Breck, and Bishop Fasien to participate in the second alliance meeting, this time there were many high-ranking members of the tribe, in addition to Thrall, there were also Brooks, Wallock, Kane Bloodhoof, Woking, Itrig and others, Grom did not come, obviously he was not suitable to appear so as not to irritate the Night Elves.

Regardless of whether it is a human or a tribe, there are no radicals among the members who participated in this meeting, so under the self-restraint of both sides, the atmosphere of the meeting is relatively harmonious as a whole, and the strength and character of the senior members of the tribe have changed the impression of the alliance side on the tribe a lot.

Because of the imminent outbreak of the decisive battle, the humans, the night elves, and the tribe did not waste time arguing, and quickly negotiated most of the cooperation methods on the battlefield and the means of dealing with demons and undead, and even how to deal with the demon king Akmund, Malfurion gave a solution.

The Horde is in charge of the first layer of defense, the Night Elf forces and the human Stormwind forces led by General Santis are in the second layer of defense, and the remaining Night Elf army and the human Theramore army led by Tyrande and Malfurion will be in the third layer of defense.

This line of defense is not absolute, the road up the mountain of Mount Hyjal is wide and gentle, neither the Horde camp nor the Alliance camp can block all the roads, the Alliance and the Horde can only hold back a part of the enemy's main force, it is impossible to block all the enemy's breakthroughs. What's more, a large number of high-level demons can fly, and the undead also have ice dragons and gargoyle legions to participate in the battle, so it is very likely that the defense lines of the alliance and the horde will break out at the same time.

Because Eagle's Nest Mountain and Nomorigen did not participate in the battle, the human side did not have much air power at this time, and the tribe side did not have enough bipedal wyverns, and the real air force of the coalition at this time had to rely on the Night Elves, not only a large number of well-trained horned eagle beasts, but also a group of Icewind Chimera from the Winterspring Valley could participate in this battle.

A large number of ranged troops, such as some archers, priestesses, and druids of the Night Elves, will ride horned eagles to support the attacked camp at any time, and human mages will also build short-range portals near the three camps to ensure that the mages can support each other between the three camps at any time.

All the leaders promised that the special alliance and the tribe would support the fighting of the other lines as much as possible if their own lines were not in danger, and if the front lines were seriously damaged, they could also withdraw to the rear lines before entering the battle.

As for that demon king Akmund, according to Malfurion, Akmund's goal should be to absorb the energy of the World Tree and pollute the World Tree, so Akmund will not waste too much mana on ordinary soldiers, and everyone should try not to confront Akmund head-on, if Akmund wants to go into battle in person, let go of the defense line and let it pass, and then find a way to recover the defense line to block the demons and undead behind it after Akmund passes, as long as there are not many demons around him when he follows Akmund to the World Tree, Malfurion had a way of using the World Tree to kill Akmund.

Of course, if Akmund really used his strength to slaughter a large number of ordinary soldiers, the coalition forces also had corresponding countermeasures, that is, to organize strong people to directly encircle and kill Akmund after he consumed a certain amount of strength, after all, Akmund is not a true god, and he can't really regard mortals as ants.

At the end of the meeting, the Night Elves, as the host, invited the high-ups of both sides to stay in the temple for a short meal and guests, and as he passed by a statue, Varian suddenly stopped, stunned for a moment.

"What's the matter, Your Majesty?" Claudia, who was too close and almost hit Varian, asked.

Varian came back to his senses and asked in a trance, "Who is this statue carved and what is its name?" ”

Claudia looked at the statue, it was a statue of a giant white wolf, carved vividly, the whole exuded a wild and fierce atmosphere, Claudia quickly found its name from memory, but before she could speak, the high priest Tyrande had already answered the king's doubts: "This is the wolf god Godring, Your Majesty Ureon." ”

What a strange feeling.

Varian frowned, and then he didn't stay long, and continued to turn away, although the demigod gave him an inexplicable sense of familiarity and summoning, but this was the time for the occasion to be important, not the time to study this illusion.

Claudia didn't care about this anymore, and after a short meal and tour with the other high-ups, she returned to the camp on the Alliance side.

The Alliance side was preparing for war intensely, and a large number of scouts were sent out to spy on the movements of the Scourge and the Demon Army, which the undead took over after the Alliance and the Horde had evacuated the foot of the mountain.

In the afternoon, many weak undead monsters have appeared near the Alliance and Horde camps, most of them are low-level skeleton soldiers and zombies and the like, and there are no necromancers to control, so it is very easy to be dealt with, the Alliance and the Horde will send a part of the troops to sweep it from time to time, but it will not be long before new low-level undead wander over.

The Scourge doesn't seem to care much about the life or death of these low-level undead, it is possible that these undead are just scout-like characters released by the Scourge Legion, or it is possible that the number of low-level undead is too large for necromancers and lichs to control, but in short, the speed at which the low-level undead wander over after being swept away is getting faster and faster, indicating that the decisive battle is getting closer and closer.

Towards evening, Claudia was about to get the guards to bring in some food, when the agent named Ignacio brought a trophy of great importance, a limb-off, talking zombie, to the king's tent.

As we all know, as zombies with little intelligence and self-awareness, they usually can't speak, and some of the zombies that the scouts encounter today are different, they don't attack, but try to communicate with the human scouts and ask to see the human king, although a few were killed at the beginning, but after all, there are still human scouts who feel that the words of a certain zombie have a certain value, so the zombie was cut off limbs, and after being checked by Archmage Modra to make sure that it will not cause harm to Varian, it was taken to the king's tent.

Claudia also saw the zombie, and the zombie gave her a very strange feeling, as if it had the temperament of a wise man, sensing the girl's gaze, and the zombie turned her head and showed a slightly weird smile to the girl, and Claudia frowned.

"Turn your head." Varian was also a little curious about the zombie, put down his work and began to interrogate: "My time is precious, answer me, who are you?" What's the matter with all the trouble you want to see me? ”

"Boom," the zombie let out an ugly laugh before continuing, "Hello, first meeting, King of Humanity, it doesn't matter who I am, what matters is that my enemy is also the Burning Legion, and I can bring you the deployment of the Burning Legion general attack tomorrow, and a proposal that you and I can win." ”

"Win-win? I don't think I'm going to have a win-win situation with the undead. Varian said with a cold face and some disgust, and then he continued to remind the zombie: "I'm not interested in talking to the guy who hides his head and tail, only if you are willing to explain your identity, I will give you the opportunity to explain your specific intentions." ”

"As you wish, as a matter of sincerity, I would like to introduce myself, you humans often call me the Lich King, and this body is just a temporary tool for me to talk to you."

What, Lich King?

Inside the tent, everyone's eyes were shocked, angry, and hateful to the zombie, and a royal knight was almost about to draw his sword and cut it off, but was quickly stopped by his companions, Varian did not do it immediately, putting aside his promise just now, it didn't make sense for him to kill this zombie, but he also reminded with an unkind gaze:

"Well, the so-called Lich King, as I just said, you can explain your specific intentions."
