Chapter Eighty-Eight: Food

Su Chen did not stay behind and wait for the Dalaran mage troops behind, but chose to follow Victorus to the camp of Illusia.

Comparatively speaking, he trusts these undead spirits who are completely under his control.

Of course, a more important reason was that when he was about to give up the treasure room, the voice of Zhi Nao Xiaohei suddenly sounded in his head - "I can open this secret room." ”

Medivan's strength in the continent of Azeroth is unquestionable, and more importantly, he was influenced by the Dark Titan Sargeras when he wrote the Book of Medivan, which included a great deal of demonic knowledge.

It would be impossible to say that I didn't have the slightest idea about the Book of Medivan......

However, Victorus said that the camp was very close, but the group walked for hours in the wind and snow, and after turning several hills, they came to a stop near a hidden valley.

Obviously, this guy has been a little slow about the passage of time after becoming an undead.

Fortunately, there were two other crypt spiders controlled by Su Chen before who were only injured and did not die, just for him and Gianna to ride, otherwise they would have died of exhaustion on the road.

"You live right here?" Su Chen looked at the valley in the wind and snow, which was already in the hinterland of the Alterac Mountains.

"No, this is Miss's residence, she leads a group of human refugees to live in this valley, and we live further afield." Victorus held out his fingers, which were only his finger bones, and pointed to the snowy mountains in the distance.

Su Chen looked back at the group of undead warriors behind him who were completely unafraid of the cold, and couldn't help but feel some strange feelings in his heart, although they were out of the control of the Lich King, they were still estranged from humans after all.

"It's inconvenient for us to enter the valley, so we can only separate from His Highness here." As he spoke, Victorus asked the undead warriors behind him to put down the treasure chamber that he had been carrying.

"Well, one day you'll be recognized by everyone." Su Chen said with a sigh.

Due to his appearance, these Forsaken were born early, but Sylvanas, the Queen of Darkness, was saved by herself, and with the fear of the undead of those Lordaeron survivors, what will happen to these Forsaken in the future......

Su Chen dragged the heavy treasure chamber and Gianna into the valley, and before he could go far, a few people rushed out of the forest covered with snow next to him.

"Who are you?" The leader was dressed in half-worn armor and held a Lordaeron's standard sword, which looked like he was from Lordaeron's army.

"We are friends with Miss Illusia." Su Chen explained.

"Then tell us your name, and wait here, and we'll go and ask Miss Illusia." The leader looked at the two of them quite vigilantly.

"Well, you tell her Al...... Well, her former friend Sue is here, this is Gianna, from Dalaran. Su Chen hesitated for a moment, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, he still didn't use the name Alsace after all.

The two didn't have to wait long, and Illusia, dressed in a white trench coat, hurried over.

When she saw Su Chen, Illusia obviously showed excitement, but when she saw Gianna beside Su Chen, she couldn't help but blush, and quickly lowered her head.

"My good friend, should I call you Van Sara or ...... Illusia Barov? Gianna smiled strangely.

"Call me Illusia......" Illusia said with some embarrassment.

Only then did Su Chen remember that they were both born in Dalaran, according to what Illusia said before, they were still very familiar with them when they were in Dalaran, and Illusia should still be accused of being a traitor to Dalaran now.

Remembering that he had also broken into Violet Prison with Illusia to save people, Su Chen couldn't help but blush a little.

"Ahem...... Illusia, how did you end up here? Su Chen hurriedly tried to change the topic.

"Your Highness, a few days after you left, there were a series of undead ships along the Sodoril River into Lake Daron Mill, and we held out for two days, and found that there were too many enemies, so we decided to withdraw from Keldaron for the time being, but because my father and they have all become undead, they can no longer go to the towns inhabited by humans, so they have to temporarily hide in the Alterac Mountains." Illusia whispered.

"Oh, what is going on with the people in this valley?" Su Chen asked.

"These are the refugees I have recently taken in, they are all survivors of Lordaeron, many of them want to flee south to Dalaran, but because of the lack of supplies, it is difficult to climb the snowy mountains, so they have to stay in the Alterac Mountains, and we will gather them when we come here, so that we can take care of each other."

As she spoke, Illusia led Su Chen and Gianna into the valley.

The environment in the valley is very rudimentary, a few ruins that originally belonged to the kingdom of Alterac have been roughly restored, barely sheltered from the wind and snow, and now it is crowded with people, and in some sheltered corners there are a large number of simple tents sewn from animal skins, which are also crowded with people.

Seeing Su Chen and Gianna enter the valley, these people all showed vigilant eyes.

"Many of them have been attacked by the undead, plus the fall of their homes and the killing of their relatives, they have all suffered a great psychological blow, as long as they see outsiders, they will have such a reaction, but when they are familiar with it, it will be fine." Illusia explained in a low voice.

"Hmm...... How many refugees are there here now? "Su Chen knows some theories about psychological shadows, and it will take a long time to get these people back on their feet.

"There are already nearly three thousand."

"Three thousand, so many?" Su Chen couldn't help but be slightly surprised, due to the strong enemies around him, the number of humans in the world of Azeroth was actually not very large, even when it was the peak of Lordaeron, more than 3,000 people were already a fairly large town.

Illusia nodded with some distress: "Yes, because the number of refugees is still increasing, all kinds of materials are extremely scarce, especially food, when we left Keldaron, most of us were in an undead state and did not need to carry too much food, so we prepared very little food, and now we rely entirely on Victorus to hunt wild beasts in the snowy mountains to serve as food." ”

Su Chen couldn't help frowning when he heard this, if there were hundreds of people, they might still be able to get food by hunting, but three thousand people all made a living by hunting, so they had to hunt a large number of animals every day.

If it weren't for the fact that Victorus and the others were undead and had no food needs, this refugee camp in the snowy mountains would have been unable to hold on.

"It's better to still have an army of the undead, you don't need to think about logistics ......at all," Su Chen sighed in his heart.

With Lordaeron's former strength, it could only maintain an army of forty or fifty thousand at most, but now the Necrocalyptus has as many as hundreds of thousands of troops in Lordaeron, which is naturally because it does not need any logistical supplies.

"We have to find new sources of food, or take them out of the mountains." Su Chen groaned.

Now that the north is full of plagues, even if there is food, they dare not eat it, and the only way is to go south to find food.

Perhaps it's time to put Southsea Town and Talenmir back under Lordaeron's control......
