Chapter 257: The Night Watch
The army walked through the dark forest paths, and since most of them were dead, the whole team was almost silent, except for the sound of horses' hooves stepping on the yellow mud road, which was even more shocking.
"There's an enemy ahead!"
An exclamation came, and the team that was originally in a long snake formation immediately quickly divided into two teams and outflanked the front diagonally.
Despite the woods, the Death Knight in front of him was like a humanoid tank as soon as he began to charge, and the trees that were the thickness of a hug broke one after another, and the army could not be brought to any stagnation in the slightest.
Equipped with sophisticated armor and weapons, the Knights of the Black Blade are definitely the sharpest blades on the battlefield!
Arrows shot out of the forest ahead, but they didn't seem to be so powerful that they couldn't even penetrate the armor of the Death Knights.
As the Death Knight rushed into the dense forest ahead, a panicked voice soon rang out.
"Hey, listen to that scream...... It seems to be a human voice? Stop the charge from the Death Knight in front! Su Chen was slightly startled, and hurriedly ordered to stop the attack, and at the same time asked Mograini to take a few paladins to communicate.
The battle soon stopped, and several glittering paladins shouted as they walked towards the dense forest ahead, where there were faint figures.
Mograini quickly rode back.
"Your Highness, the other side claims to be the Night's Watch unit of Stormwind City, but I see that they are ragged and do not have the standard armor of Stormwind City, so they probably belong to a spontaneous militia organization."
"Night's Watchman...... I know. Su Chen nodded slightly.
He naturally knew something about the Night's Watch troops in the night, which was a militia organization established by Nightshade without the support of Stormwind, and its combat effectiveness could only be regarded as average.
However, it is not easy for them to survive the fall of Stormwind.
Su Chen soon met the leader of these night watchmen, and sure enough, it was Althea, the daughter of the mayor of Nightlight Town. Eberlock, though in rags from spending so long in the woods. But it is still difficult to hide its heroic temperament.
"Are you really reinforcements from Lordaeron?" Althea. Eberlock stared at Su Chen on his horse with a puzzled face, his broken glove hand pressed against the hilt of the sword at his waist.
It was clear that the Death Knights before had frightened the Night's Watch.
"We do come from Lordaeron, I'm Alsace. Minethir, who has been friends with King Varian since childhood. Su Chen bowed slightly, trying to put on a kind appearance.
"Prince Alsace? But...... How can there be undead monsters in your army? "Althea. Eberlock asked, confused.
"They weren't monsters, they were once the bravest paladins of the Knights of the Silver Hand. Killed in battle to defend Lordaeron, and although they were later resurrected by the Undead Scourge, they were determined to break free from the control of the Undead Scourge, and today they are still the best warriors in Lordaeron. Su Chen Zhengse said, although the death knights are still not accepted by ordinary people, he must correct their name.
"It turned out to be a warrior who used to be a silver hand...... It's that we're disrespectful. "Althea. Eberlock couldn't help but be in awe when she heard this, as the commander of the Night's Watch, she naturally saw a lot of life and death on the battlefield.
"Is Nightlight okay now? We came by boat by sea. Fresh from the Wild West, I don't know anything about Stormwind. Su Chen asked, all the ordinary refugees he met along the way were those ordinary refugees who were in hiding, and he couldn't ask for any useful information at all.
Althea. Hearing this, Eberlock looked gloomy, and bowed his head and said, "Night Town has been completely destroyed by those demons, and we have not been able to protect our home. ”
Su Chen was not surprised by this result, even Stormwind City could not withstand the attacks of those demons, undead, and evil orcs, let alone a defenseless Night Town.
"How many survivors there were in that nighttown. From there, you can go to the Wild West, where we have a base. It is possible to live temporarily, so it should be relatively safe. Su Chen sighed, although the conditions in the western wilderness are not very good, it is still better than hiding in these gloomy woods after all, especially now that the temperature is getting lower and lower.
"Thank you, Your Highness Arthas, but the civilians of Nightshade fled to Karazhan at the beginning of the war. Now that the path has been controlled by those demons, it will be difficult to go back for a while. ”
"Escaped to Karazhan?!" Su Chen couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this.
"Well, it's Medivan's former home, and it's safe even though weird things happen all the time. The last two times the Dark Gate was opened, the orcs were wreaking havoc everywhere, but they didn't get close to Karazan at all, so this time the Dark Gate suddenly opened, and people immediately ran to Karazan for refuge. ”
"The orcs didn't come near Karazan...... Well, that's Medivan's territory, and they really don't bother. Su Chen quickly understood the reason, although Medivan had been killed, the Dark Gate had been opened by him in the first place, and those orcs had not invaded his Mage Tower.
But now that the door of darkness was opened, it was the demons and the undead who did it, and Karazhan might not be able to maintain the safe position he was before.
Su Chen recalled the memories of Karazan in the Warcraft game, that mage tower was definitely the most powerful mage tower in Azeroth, even if those high elves were extraordinary in magic and built a large number of excellent mage towers, but they may not be as good as Karazan built by Medivan.
After Medivan's death, the mage tower was filled with all kinds of monsters, and many forces coveted the magic books and treasures in Karazhin.
Not only did Dalaran send a lot of people to seize Karazhan's treasure, but even those bandaged people and demons secretly entered Karazan to steal the treasure.
The reason for this is not only because Medivan himself has great power as the guardian of Azeroth, but more importantly, the Dark Titan Sargeras was once in the same body as him, and when Sargeras was in the dominant position of the soul, he must have left a lot of things behind.
With Sargeras's identity, even if he casually throws away some garbage, it is a rare treasure for ordinary people.
"You can enter Karazan?" Su Chen was a little curious and asked Althea. Eberlock asked.
Even in this real world of Azeroth, there are not so many monsters in the game in Karazan, but I am afraid that it is very dangerous, and it is impossible for ordinary civilians in Night Town to survive in it. (To be continued.) )
