Chapter 282: Unexpected News
"It's hard to believe that Your Highness has killed so many demons, and there are tens of thousands of corpses on this ground alone." Bowall's face was full of shock.
He had crawled over the corpses of demons, and it was difficult to clear a path due to the sheer number of corpses of demons and orcs.
Boward's combat effectiveness is very strong, when the demons captured Stormwind City, he personally led a team of guards to fight out of the siege, and gathered the rout troops to continue to fight against the demons in the area of Red Ridge Mountain, and the number of demons he killed was also extremely impressive, but when he saw the mountain of demon corpses in front of him, he was still deeply shocked, he believed that even before Stormwind City fell, even if he gathered all his strength, it would be difficult to kill so many demons.
"We didn't expect so many demons to attack, but the hard-working Lord Duke came, and if those demons came, it is estimated that the few remaining of us will be wiped out." Su Chen smiled bitterly.
"Your Highness's plan to attack the Cursed Lands is indeed very good, far better than directly attacking Stormwind City, I immediately led all the soldiers south after receiving the news from the Night's Watch, and I encountered many demons along the way who were also rushing to the south, so I guessed that His Highness must have begun to attack the Cursed Lands, but I really didn't expect His Highness to defeat so many demons." Boval still didn't recover from the huge shock, especially after discovering that there were not many soldiers led by Su Chen's side, he was even more shocked.
He also knew that Lordaeron had an army of the dead, and it was said that he would charge forward in every battle, and he would not be afraid of death, but he did not expect to be so brave.
"These demons should all come from Stormwind City, if we can kill another batch, it is estimated that the number of demons in Stormwind City will not be much. As long as we can keep the Dark Gate under control and keep the demonic reinforcements from entering this world, the recovery of Stormwind is just around the corner. Su Chen said.
The outcome of this battle was indeed beyond his expectations, he did want to attract those demons out of Stormwind, but he didn't expect to attract so many.
While this greatly speeded up the time to reclaim Stormwind, it also caused considerable damage. Only seven of the thousands of Night's Watch have survived now, hundreds of Death Knights under his command have died completely, and the other low-level skeletons and ghouls are completely dead.
"Indeed, if you can successfully recover Stormwind City, Your Highness will be the greatest benefactor of all the subjects of Stormwind Kingdom." Boval bowed deeply to Su Chen.
"This battle is not our credit, in fact, the army of Stormwind has made great sacrifices, and the Night's Watch forces in Nightshade have almost lost everything to defend themselves against these demons." Su Chen sighed.
Next to Althea. Eberlock was wounded again in the previous battle. He was still unconscious, and only Duke Eberlock had been in a coma due to the mind control he had received from the Dreadlord, so he was not harmed.
"Alas, the Night's Watch forces are indeed valiant, far surpassing the garrisons of Stormwind, and I will certainly ask the King to posthumously give them the honor they deserve." Bolval said sadly.
There was already a hint of fish belly white in the sky, and the dawn was about to appear, with the army of Stormwind joining in. The battlefield has finally been cleared.
"These demonic weapons look pretty good, but they're just too big. It needs to be re-cast. With some regret, Mograine threw a greatsword left behind by the Demon Guardian onto the side of the weapon pile.
These are the trophies of this battle, but unfortunately most of them cannot be used directly.
Originally, everyone thought that there would continue to be demons attacking, but until noon, no demons would attack.
"Could it be that those demons are frightened by the corpses piled up outside?" Mograini said with some disappointment, and after getting enough rest, he became agitated again.
"It's possible. Those demons probably also knew about the Duke's arrival, this entrance was narrow, and those demons should not be able to force their charge again. Su Chen hesitated for a moment and then said.
After all, these demons from the outer realms are still not as powerful as the Burning Legion, and if a large number of hellfires appeared last night, even if they have the perfect control of the brain. I can't keep it for long.
"So what do we do now?"
"Of course, we will continue to hold this place while preventing demons from coming out of the Dark Gate, and then send some scouts to inquire about the situation in Stormwind City and see how many demons there are in the city." Su Chen said with a smile.
Originally, he wanted to completely destroy the Dark Gate, but now that Dalvy Engel has taken refuge and has the hope of taking over Kazak, there is no need to destroy the Dark Gate again.
As long as Kazak can take out the demons on the other side of the Dark Gate, he does have a chance to take out Mathridon, and then use Kil'Gardan's mark to control some of the demons.
At that time, he can use the power of these demons to deal with Naozu, and more importantly, although the demon blood of Maseriton is not as good as Manolos, it is also an extremely powerful abyss demon after all, and he can use his blood like Illidan did in the history of Warcraft, but not to make evil orcs, but to use it for his own demon transformation.
"I'll leave it to us to find out the news of Stormwind City, in fact, on the way here, I have already arranged for MI7 people to sneak back to Stormwind City to find out the news, and before waiting for them to return, we can also take the opportunity to clean up the remaining enemies in this sad swamp, and we also need to contact the resistance forces in various places, as long as we get the exact news of Stormwind City, we can immediately launch an attack on Stormwind City." Berval said with some excitement.
The troops he led this time were as many as more than 7,000 people, although the good and the bad were mixed, but they were also a good force, if they had the help of Su Chen and others, they might really be able to take the opportunity to attack Stormwind City.
Everyone began to clean up the enemies in the swamp of sorrow, but they still did not approach the area around the sunken temple, after all, no one knew the specific situation in the temple, even if Su Chen was a little curious about the inside of the sunken temple, he was unwilling to make any extraneous branches at this time.
However, when MI7 personnel returned, the news they brought was extremely shocking. (To be continued.) )
