Chapter 102: Internal Conflict
Despite the sunny day, the sky in the Plaguelands always seemed to have some haze wafting throughout, giving it a gloomy and cold feeling.
A procession of nearly 2,000 men trudged through the desolate wilderness, all silent, except for a few flags that were blown in the wind.
Su Chen was surrounded by everyone in the center of the team, but he was slightly distracted when he looked at the familiar flag...... It's been a long time since Lordaeron's flag has flown on this land.
It had been several days since he left the hands of Tyr, and his body had almost recovered, but only a few elite troops had been selected for this operation, and in order to ensure the effectiveness of the attack, everyone had abandoned the paved roads and chose to march in the wilderness.
Su Chen's gaze quickly turned into the distance, on the flanks of this team, some knights could be faintly seen, and behind those knights were more or less followed by some hideous-looking ghouls.
Although Bridget Abydis, Sylvanas and others have accepted the existence of the Death Knights, Uther and others still keep a certain distance from ordinary people.
"Your Highness, the east wall of Stratholme is not far ahead." Nathanos, the human ranger lord who was in charge of scouting the way ahead, appeared almost silently beside Su Chen, the graying old ranger who could catch up with the cavalry only by walking.
"The East Wall Gate ......" Su Chen's mind couldn't help but think of the back door of Stratholme, which was a section of tunnel dug by the residents of Stratholme in order to save the road.
"Are there many undead defending there?"
"This ...... I didn't find any undead near the entrance to the tunnel. Nathanos smiled a little strangely.
"No undead guards?" Su Chen couldn't help but be a little surprised, but in his heart, it was difficult to determine whether this was another undead natural disaster to lure the enemy deeper.
"Yes, I've probed in many ways, and even used temporarily controlled critters to enter the tunnel, but only found a few scattered undead in the vicinity." Nathanos scratched his head and replied with some confusion, apparently he had rarely encountered such a situation in previous battles.
"As for the inner area, it is difficult to detect, although there are not many undead in it, it is difficult for ordinary small animals to sneak in." Nathanos sighed with some regret, "It's a pity that we don't have good thieves here, otherwise we can let them sneak in and investigate." ”
Although the Ranger has some detection ability, its main skill is still to provide long-range attacks, compared to the Rogue is indeed better suited to probe behind enemy lines.
Although Su Chen himself also had a copycat version of the stealth technique, it could only last more than ten minutes, and with his current identity, he was not suitable for running to explore the way.
"Keep exploring, the rest of the men will take cover in the woods, and as agreed with Tirio Fordin, we will wait for him outside Stratholme for a day."
Although the Hearthside Valley is far away from Stratholme, Su Chen had asked a knight who was familiar with griffins to return to Hearthvale on the griffin to summon, and old Fording should be able to take the griffin to Stratholme quickly.
For some reason, Su Chen always had an almost blind confidence in Tirio Fortin, perhaps because Old Fording was too prominent in the history of Warcraft, or because Alsace died at the hands of Old Fording in the history of Warcraft, so every time he saw Tirio Fortin, he always gave him a very special sense of weirdness.
In the afternoon of the next day, the familiar golden figure of the 'Sunshine Boy' finally appeared in the sky.
However, to Su Chen's surprise, when the griffin fell, the person above it was not Tirio Fording.
"Medirri? You...... How did you guys get here? ”
Su Chen looked at the person who came to support him in disbelief, it turned out to be Medirli, and there was another person wrapped in a black cloak, but looking at the figure and the long hair exposed, it should also be a woman.
"I originally wanted to go to Dalaran to find you after I left King Lordaeron, but because of the last prison robbery, Arthur and I are still wanted by Dalaran, so I had no choice but to go to the Hearth Valley to find you, but the place is too remote, I spent a lot of time and couldn't find it, fortunately, I got the help of Miss Katrana to reach the Hearthvale, but I learned that you had left again, so I had to stay in the Hearth Valley for the time being to help defend the city, This time, when you asked Lord Tirio to attack Stratholme, there were many undead attacking the city, and Lord Tirio couldn't get out of it, so he asked me to help. Medirri shrugged slightly, a little fearlessly explained.
"Oh, then this young lady is ......" Su Chen pointed to the black-robed woman next to him with some hesitation.
"This is Miss Catlana Presto, a nobleman from the South, but she doesn't want to spend all day at a banquet like other nobles, but is adventurous, so she came to the North to help the refugees in Lordaeron and volunteered to join the Dark Side of the Moon, right...... Miss Katrana is also a very powerful mage, and she can ride a griffon. Medirri hurriedly introduced, and it seemed that she admired this Miss Catlana a lot, and even had a little admiration.
"Miss Catlana Presto...... Hello. Su Chen smiled and welcomed, but he was shocked in his heart.
Because the moment the woman wrapped in a black cloak got off the griffin, the brain had already sounded a rapid alarm.
"Attack 200, Defense 300, Speed Unknown......"
In terms of the offensive and defensive attributes initially detected, it was not much different from Uther, and Su Chen didn't believe that this woman would be a mage.
"Hello, Your Highness Arthas." A slightly magnetic woman's voice sounded, sounding extremely seductive, and the voice alone was already a little uneasy.
The next moment, Su Chen saw an incomprehensible face, and the long black hair that was as beautiful as a waterfall also made his heart move.
However, Su Chen quickly calmed down, there were definitely only a handful of people among humans who could achieve such a strong physical attribute, but in his memory, except for the guardian Egwene who was strong enough, there didn't seem to be any other woman who was strong enough to this extent.
"Could it be that the strong men of other races are disguised? But the name Katrana Presto sounds familiar......"
While Su Chen was confused, Sylvanas walked to his side with a frown.
"A Night Elf? How did you end up here? Sylvanas looked at Medirri with some hostility in her eyes, even will
Solidar Star's Fury was in his hands.
"High Elves?" Medirri also frowned slightly, and a chill flashed in her eyes.
