Chapter 120: Lordaeron's Crisis

By the time Herni-Mareb arrived at Dunhold Castle exhausted with the militia from Southsea Town and Talenmere, he found that the war in front of him was over. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

After more than half an hour of street fighting, Garethus's cavalry troops were basically wiped out by the orc army, except for a very few scattered cavalry who were lucky enough to escape.

Far away, Mareb could hear the cheers of the orcs in the castle.

His face turned solemn and he ordered the militiamen to stop.

"Mayor Mare, are we going to continue the attack?" A militia captain next to him asked.

Marebu shook his head: "I'm afraid I can't beat it, orcs are a bloodthirsty race, a victory can greatly increase their desire to fight; And they captured a large number of weapons from the Garissus troops, solved the problem of lack of equipment......"

"And we basically only have infantry and militia left, and there is really no advantage in forcibly attacking such a strong castle!" Mareb sighed, knowing that this was supposed to be the best time to destroy the orcs.

"Then we should ......"

"You take someone to inform the adjutant named 'Blackmore' of the Northern Front troops!" Mareb pondered for a moment, then ordered, "Tell him to evacuate the civilians in that vicinity and let them evacuate to the Silver Pines Forest; We also evacuated our civilians to Nanhai Town, and burned all the farms and farmland around it! ”

"Mayor Mare, you mean, a protracted war with the orcs?"

"Yes!" Mareb nodded: "Winter is coming soon, although the orcs are strong in combat, but they lack supplies, we can completely spend it with them!" ”

……

In Lordaeron's royal palace, the atmosphere today was suddenly a little solemn.

The ministers talked a lot, and they all looked worried.

"Your Royal Highness!" A ragged cavalryman, led by the Governor, ran up to the hall and cried, "Lord Gatrisus has been martyred, and the orcs have killed him!" ”

"What?" Galia felt a little stunned, the generalissimo of the Alliance, who was in high spirits a few days ago, was actually killed by those orcs...... What's wrong with the world?

She glanced at the tent behind her with some pleading, how she wished that her father could come out and help her at this time!

But all he could hear was King Terenus's snoring.

"Can any of you help me defeat those orcs......" Galia felt her voice tremble a little, and then glanced at the ministers.

"Your Highness!" Uther-Lightbringer stepped forward, his voice as gentle as a spring breeze, calming Galia's nervous heart: "My old friend Mareb has written to tell me about the situation at Dunhold Castle, and that it was only Garithars and his cavalry that were wiped out by the orcs, and that the expeditionary force was not too much damaged......"

"So......" Calia breathed a sigh of relief, she had just worried about what to do if the orcs hit Lordaeron.

"Mareb told me that he is going to take the method of fighting a protracted war with the orcs to weaken the orc's will to fight, after all, the total number of the orc army is still weaker than ours!" Uther explained.

"Then listen to Mr. Mareb and appoint him as the new commander of the resistance to the orcs!" Galia nodded repeatedly, and at this point she didn't dare to care about the image of the stinky old man of Henie Mareb.

"So don't worry about the orcs for the time being, because there is a more important matter!" Uther's expression became serious.

"More important things?" For a moment, she felt that she couldn't think of anything worse than the orcs.

"I got the news this morning, from North County to East Lordaeron, there have been multiple incidents of attacks by the Cursed Sect, and at least ten villages have been attacked!" Uther said slowly.

"Cursed Sect......" Jialia gasped, and her whole body was speechless. The ministers who were talking about it also shut up at this time, the whole palace was quiet, and Jialia even vaguely felt that her father's snoring behind the tent had stopped!

"It can't be!" Galia said in a sharp voice, "Arthas has already wiped out these monsters......

The events of the Cult of the Damned were not a pleasant memory for all of Lordaeron, as their great prince Arthas-Minethir had died at the hands of the group.

"Whether it's the remnants of the bastards we eliminated last time, or a whole new group of lunatics who have made a comeback, we don't know!" Uther said calmly, "But I suggest that I personally lead the Silver Hand to investigate the situation there, and let me personally destroy this group of scum!" ”

As a teacher, Uther had always felt guilty about Arthas's death, so he wanted to destroy the Cult of the Damned himself and comfort the soul of the deceased prince.

"Please, then, Mr. Uther......" Galia's voice was a little pleading.

She felt like she was going crazy, how could there be so many terrible things in the past few weeks of temporary administration.

……

Ridge of Remorse, Tomb of Arthas.

A group of men in black appeared in front of this cemetery, and several priests guarding the tomb seemed to notice something, but as soon as they got up, they were killed by the men in black one by one almost instantly!

"Dig up this grave!" Gianna Proudmoore said calmly.

The acolytes of the Cult of the Damned began to follow her orders, and they had already brought grave-digging tools.

A silver coffin was quickly dug out of the cemetery, and it radiated a holy glow, and Kael'thas waved his staff, and this brilliance was directly dispelled!

The former elven prince and now the lich opened the coffin and carefully examined the corpse inside.

"The corpse is somewhat decomposed, Miss Proudmoore, and very bad!" He said calmly.

Gianna's face was a little unpleasant, although she was prepared for it. She waved her staff carefully, and an arcane barrier appeared over the corpse, surrounding it...... She was still a little uneasy, and added another green fire, and finally the whole corpse was completely isolated from the outside world.

"This only slows down the rate of decay temporarily, but does not alleviate the extent of decay!" Kael'thas said on the side, "If you use psychic spells now, I'm afraid that only one twisted and brainless skeleton will appear!" ”

There was a brief moment of silence.

"Kael'thas, as if through a powerful arcane energy field, with the help of its power, can complete Arthas be resurrected?" Gianna asked suddenly.

"That should do!" Kael'thas thought for a moment, then nodded.

A smile appeared on the corner of Gianna's mouth: "Very good, I have an idea!" ”
