Chapter 176: The Battle of Stratholme (4)
"Lord Kel'thugad, Simon's ghoul forces have been wiped out by the Scarlet Crusaders!"
"Lord Kel'thugad, the Stitch Monsters guarding the East Gate have suffered heavy losses from the Scarlet Crusaders!"
"Lord Kel'thugad, a large number of the main forces of the Scarlet Crusaders have entered the city of Stratholme from the south gate......"
News after news reached the town hall in Stratholme, and most of it was not good news. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
In the eyes of Kel'thugad, this battle should have been a one-sided ambush of a massacre nature...... However, the subsequent development completely exceeded his expectations.
The key problem is that the information is wrong.
The message from Serzan the Twilight Messenger mentioned that the total strength of the Scarlet Crusaders was about 2,000 men, so Kel'thugad mobilized about 4,000 undead from all around him and ambushed them at Stratholme......
However, the reality is that the vanguard of the three Scarlet Crusaders alone adds up to more than two thousand, not to mention the follow-up troops that have just arrived!
And in the Scarlet Crusade, there is an extremely terrifying sword, which they call "Ash Bringer", and even the most powerful undead can't hold up for a few rounds in front of that sword! The existence of this sword has changed the situation of the entire battlefield!
Could it be that Serzan deceived himself?
In fact, it is unlikely that the Scarlet Crusaders did not show any preparation after the ambush, which means that they did not know that the undead would be ambushed at all......
"Lord Kel'thugad, do we need to retreat......" a necromancer whispered beside him.
"What are you kidding, fight hard!" Kel'thugad roared.
If Stratholme City is really captured by humans, then even if they escape, Prodmore and Kael'thas will not forgive themselves, and the city must not be captured!
"I'm going to do it myself!" The lich took out his staff.
……
The Ember Bringer, a powerful artifact, was left alone among the corpses of the undead.
Its owner, lying on the ground, his chest already red with blood.
A sharp dagger pierces him in the heart, and the killer is his best friend, his brother he will save at all costs, Ethan Lien!
"How is that possible, you ......," Mograini struggled.
"Hahaha......" Ethanlien let out a barrage of smiles, which didn't look like a human laugh at all, but seemed like a demonic celebration!
Then, Mograini saw a large humanoid bat emerge from Ethanlion's body, and he immediately smelled a violent stench.
"Demon ......," he said with some reluctance.
Ethanlien's body fell directly to the ground, and he fainted.
"Introduce yourself, paladin! I am Banazal, a member of the great Nasrezm! The Dreadlord bowed gracefully to Mograine, and he looked back at Ethanlien lying on the ground, "This damn priest is still trying to resist my will, it's a dead end!" ”
Banazal picked up the unconscious Ethanlien and tore it to shreds.
"You ......" Mograine growled in pain as he reached out and tried to grab the Ember Brilleg.
However, his hand was stomped by Nasrezm's hoof.
"This sword is very powerful, after the defeat of the Lordaeron Barrier, I originally wanted to use the body of this priest to live in seclusion in the south, but the appearance of this sword fascinated me......" Banazar glanced at the ash messenger on the ground with some greed: "Its power is even stronger than the rune sword forged by Memphestus, the king of Nasrezm, called 'Frost Sorrow'!" ”
He stretched out his demonic claws, trying to grab the sword on the ground.
The Ember Bringer suddenly emitted a bright, fiery glow that enveloped it.
"Ah......h
"This sword, damn it!" The Dreadlord said hatefully.
"Hahaha, the Ember Bringer doesn't belong to a demon like you!" Mograini, who was badly wounded, let out a happy smile.
Banazar glanced at the paladin coldly, and a little viciousness suddenly appeared on his face.
"I suddenly have an idea again!" Nasrezm held out his hand, and a green glow surged in his hand.
Mograine noticed a slight change in her body: "What did you do, demon! ”
"Paladin, you may not know that psychic spells are just what we taught to the Scourge Legion, and Nasrezm is the true master of psychic spells!"
A green glow swirled around Mograini.
"No...... No...... No, ......," the paladin let out a wail.
Banazar enjoyed this wail with pleasure, and as a powerful Nasrezm, it was almost a breeze to play with an unarmed human!
Mograine, the Death Knight, stood up, and he picked up the ember of ashes that radiated holy light from the ground.
The Ember Bringer hesitated, it could clearly tell that it was its true owner who had picked it up, but it didn't feel the power of the original light in its master.
The crystals of light began to dim little by little, until they turned a miserable green...... This sword is in the hands of the death knight Mograini, and it has fallen!
"Go, Death Knight, go find your companions!" Banazal sneered, finally, he had completely completed his plan!
The entire battle of Stratholm was directed and acted by him.
On the one hand, he reminded the undead of the news of the Scarlet Crusaders and told them to prepare in advance, so that the Scarlet Crusaders would suffer great losses in their attacks; On the other hand, he gave the undead the wrong information, making them unable to withstand the attack of the Scarlet Crusaders!
After infiltrating the Scarlet Crusade, he discovers that the top of this organization is a group of very determined followers of the Holy Light, and he may be able to concentrate on seducing one or two of them, but controlling them all is a rare thing!
So in the chaos of the war, he took advantage of the situation to eliminate the upper echelons of the Scarlet Crusade, Abydis, Mograine, and Ethanlien, who were steadfast believers of the Light...... In this way, there is only one person with real prestige in the entire crusader, and that is the great crusader Da Sohan, as long as he controls him, he can control the entire crusader!
Then all he had to do was wait, for Akmund and Master Kil'Gardan to arrive, and then mock the fools of Tikdios, Marganis, and Warimass!
Banazar took the form of a Scarlet Crusader warrior and walked to the Scarlet Crusader camp at the South Gate. (To be continued.) )
