Chapter Fifty-Nine: The Blighter

The Plague Lands.

Su Chen and his party had been walking through this desolate and dangerous land for many days.

Fearing the plague pollution in the air, the elven rangers were wrapped in thick cloaks and were silent all the way.

Because of the painful memories brought by Stratholme, Su Chen was also silent.

However, in his mind, he has been thinking about his future plans.

The Undead Scourge failed to resurrect Kel'thugad at the Sunwell, and its next move is difficult to predict, but its final plan is to summon Akmund.

What he can do now is to integrate all of Lordaeron's human resistance as soon as possible, including taking back control of Lordaeron's army from Generalissimo Garissos, otherwise the remaining army will be buried by that arrogant and incompetent guy sooner or later.

Although the elven army behind him only had nearly a thousand people, they were able to survive the great battle with the undead natural disaster, and they were all the elite of the elite, and their combat effectiveness should have surpassed the thousands of human soldiers in the Hearth Castle.

However, it would be absolutely foolish to have a group of elven rangers who are marksmen alone.

The thousands of infantry in the Fireplace Fort can be used as meat shields.

The forces of the human kingdom have always been dominated by infantry and knights, and there is a lack of long-range attack power, which is why the status of mages is so high.

Now the ranger force he brought just made up for the lack of long-range strength, not to mention that there were dozens of elven mages in it.

As long as you don't rush to confront the main force of the undead, you should be able to deal with most of the undead troops in the Plaguelands.

The biggest problem though, Sylvanas still has to go to Kael'thas!

Thinking of this, Su Chen couldn't help but turn his head to look at Sylvanas riding a white chocobo beside him, looking at her resolute face, he couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart.

Considering that she was able to fight to the death defending Silvermoon City, her loyalty to the High Elves was unquestionable, and if she had found Kael'thas, the army would have been under Kael'thas's command.

At that time, even if Kael'thas was willing to obey his command, it would be far better than personally controlling this elven army.

"It seems that we have to find a way to keep these elven rangers...... Su Chen thought secretly.

It may be a bit of a shame to do this, but it's better than being taken to the Outlands by Kael'thas and dying in the end.

At the same time, Su Chen was also a little worried about Ilucia in his heart.

After all, the main force of the Scourge of the Dead is likely to return to Lordaeron once again on the island of Keldaron.

Although Kelldaron is easy to defend and difficult to attack, it is impossible for those left on the island by the Ebarov family to resist the main force of the undead scourge.

I only hope that the Barov family will be willing to give up all their possessions on Keldaron Island by then.

"I once had a human student who had a great talent for rangers, and I once risked offending Prince Kael'thas to canonize him as a ranger, and after leaving Quel'Thalas, he seems to have lived in this neighborhood, and he has written to me many times before, and I don't know if he survived this catastrophe." Sylvanas' voice interrupted Su Chen's thoughts.

"Human Ranger ...... Nathanos? Su Chen's heart immediately remembered the guy Sylvanas had said.

You must know that in the World of Warcraft, the Blightcaller quest in the Eastern Plaguelands is quite famous...... It was a field mission that required a few dozen people to be assembled!

"I hope he's still alive......" Su Chen said with a sigh.

He didn't know when Nathanos became an undead, and if Nathanos was dead, he would have to spend a lot of physical strength to control him again.

Of course, with Nathanos's strength, it is definitely worth weakening again.

"He wrote to him that he would spend the rest of his life at Maris Farm, teaching a few humans who liked to use bows and arrows." Sylvanas said that although she knew the address, she didn't know the exact location because she rarely left Quel'Thalas.

"Mares Farm ......" Su Chen was quite familiar with the location of the farm, and in fact, there was also the location of this farm in Alsace's memory.

After all, Nathanos was the first Ranger among humans to be recognized by the Elves, and he was also a famous figure in the battle against the Orcs, and even the king of Stormwind cared about him.

However, it is disappointing that Maris Farm, despite its remoteness, was also not spared from this great disaster.

The farm has been completely abandoned, and the original humble houses are in ruins.

"There are signs of fierce fighting here, and it looks like he's lost too......" Sylvanas pulled a broken arrow from the rubble with some sadness.

"Well, but there is no body of him seen on this farm." Su Chen frowned slightly, in the history of World of Warcraft, Nathanos Mares should have also been controlled by the Lich King after becoming an undead, but it was only later that the Frozen Throne had problems, and he was freed like Sylvanas and returned to this abandoned farm.

However, it was still too long ago for the crack to appear in the Frozen Throne, so it was naturally difficult to determine his location.

"Let's go, the Hand of Tyre to the south should still be under human control, we can go there and resupply." Su Chen sighed.

The team began to continue to march south, but before they had gone far, the warning sound of the brain suddenly sounded in their minds.

"Alert, 37 meters in front of the left, there are abnormal energy fluctuations."

Su Chen couldn't help but be slightly stunned, because in his field of vision, there was a wilderness around him, and there was no human figure in sight.

"I haven't heard that the undead can be invisible......" Su Chen slowed down with some confusion, and began to look vigilantly at the position prompted by the wisdom brain.

However, to his surprise, Sylvanas beside him also stopped and looked at the same position as him.

"General? Is it really you?! The dirt in front of the left suddenly lifted, and a tall figure stood up in the dust.

Su Chen hurriedly stared at it, it was a man covered in mud, and even the longbow in his hand was covered with mud.

From the bow and arrows in his hand and his words, Su Chen immediately determined that this guy was the target of their trip - Nathanos Mares, the only Ranger Lord among the human race.

"This guy is really talented." Looking at the seemingly embarrassed Nathanos, Su Chen was quite appreciative in his heart.

Because the dirt on this guy's body is definitely the best disguise, if it weren't for the hint of his brain, he wouldn't have been able to spot Nathanos in front of him.

This guy looks even better than the average Elf Ranger in terms of combat experience!

"You can even spot him?" Sylvanas looked at Su Chen in some surprise.

"It just happened." Su Chen sneered.

As he spoke, Nathanos Mares shook off the dirt and turf he had used for camouflage and rushed over.

But he was still far away, and he was already half-kneeling on the ground, and saluted Sylvanas very respectfully.

This made Su Chen feel a little sour, he was the prince of Lordaeron, was he ignored like this......
