Chapter 63: The Death of Kel'thugad
An army of about five hundred men, under the command of the Prince of Arthas, marched towards Andorhar. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
But along the way, they ran into a little trouble, and they were attacked by the undead many times!
Almost every village in the vicinity is infested with a large number of undead creatures, and it is clear that many of the residents in this area have been infected by the plague.
After the initial panic, the army grew accustomed to the undead attack, and the young warriors who had previously trembled at the sight of the undead creatures had now learned to fight back calmly.
War is always the best way to train recruits!
The Mage Squad and the Priest Squad are undoubtedly quite busy existences, among which the Mages and Paladins stay at the front of the team and are the main force responsible for the battle, while Jon and his Priest Squad need to heal the wounded warriors in addition to keeping up with the speed of the large army.
Arthas charged at the front of the line with his two-handed hammer, the young prince's light was so powerful that almost all the undead were not worth mentioning in front of him.
The progress was smooth, and they did not lose a single person along the way, but saved many civilians who were not infected with the plague.
In addition, along the way, in addition to destroying a large number of undead creatures, they also burned down many barns by the way.
All the barns were the same as the one they had seen before, polluting a large amount of the surrounding land, and the packing boxes of grain inside had taken away the mark of Andorhar, which basically confirmed their previous suspicions, which also made the young prince very worried.
However, as the battle progressed, many people discovered a strange point. The combat effectiveness of these undead creatures is uneven, obviously zombies of similar size, some are very clumsy, and their combat power is quite weak, while others are extremely cunning and very tricky, and some people have expressed doubts about this.
Jon made his way to the front of the line, and as the soldiers gained combat experience, the number of injuries began to diminish and he could spare a little time.
"Mr. Mills?" Arthas gasped softly, then lowered his two-handed hammer.
"Your Highness, these undead creatures are likely to be controlled by people!" Jon said very seriously, "I've seen this happen in Agamande Manor, and under the control of the necromancer, the combat power of the undead creatures will increase significantly!" ”
Hearing what Jon said, Alsaston's face changed, and he hurriedly asked the mage team, "Are there any mages who can use Eagle Eye?" ”
"I can!" An elf of Quel'Salas stepped forward.
"Good!" Arthas nodded: "Hurry up and help me detect the situation around me!" ”
Then, under Arthas's guidance, the elven mage did so.
A few minutes later, the elven mage suddenly jumped up, pointed to a place in front and shouted, "Your Highness, over there, I saw many men in black, directing the undead to attack us!" ”
"Let's go!" Arthas turned back and gave the order, and took the lead in that direction, while the large army followed closely behind him.
The elves were right, and after running for miles, Arthas saw a dozen men in black, who were not undead, but looked like humans.
"They are all followers of the Cursed Sect!" At the sight of them, Jon concluded.
"Attack, the shield armor is in front, the whole army is forward!" Following Arthas's orders, the army launched an assault on the members of the Cult of the Damned.
The men in black had apparently noticed something was wrong with this side as well, and they began to control the undead to fight back in this direction. Those twisted and brainless undead creatures, strengthened by their spells, became extremely fierce one by one.
However, there are many people on the human side, and Arthas, who took the lead, was blessed by the Holy Light and instantly turned the first few undead in front into ashes.
The few undead who rushed to the front of the battle were also resisted by the shield armor soldiers, and then killed by the soldiers behind them one by one.
The distance was getting closer, and soon the men in black were within range of the mages.
Several fireballs shot straight at them and exploded in the crowd of black, and in the first wave alone, two men in black fell.
The black-clad crowd stopped summoning the undead, and they began to retreat towards the rear.
"They're on the run, in pursuit! Don't let them run! Arthas's voice suddenly resounded in all directions.
The long-awaited cavalry began to charge, their speed was so fast that the undead creatures were powerless to stop them, destroying them along the way.
But after a few steps, they stopped, for a white creature the size of a hill blocked their path, and its face was very ugly, like a doll, with stitches all over its body.
"What kind of monster is this!" A paladin gasped.
"Just try it and find out!" A brave cavalryman said without fear, raising his spear and charging forward.
The spear pierced the monster accurately, but it did little damage, and the monster looked painless, and then grabbed the brave cavalryman and crumpled him into a meatloaf.
Then the monster rushed towards the crowd, and engaged the cavalry at the front, and several cavalrymen were knocked off their horses, and the scene was suddenly a little chaotic.
A pale light struck the monster, and the burning flames sent him back a few steps.
"Light, it's an abomination, he's afraid of the Light!" Jon was heard shouting, "Paladin, use the light to attack him!" ”
The cavalry hurriedly made a way, and several paladins rushed forward at Jon's words, and the more dazzling light struck the monster's body, causing it to let out a painful wail.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Arthas raised his hammer and rushed over. The light shone on his hammer, and then struck the monster's body with a loud bang, and the body of the abomination completely collapsed.
All kinds of corpses were suddenly everywhere, which made people feel disgusting when they saw it!
"Your Highness, they are running away!" Suddenly Polly Moni screamed.
I saw that the group of necromancers had opened a portal and passed through one after another.
The army swarmed in, but with the exception of a few necromancers who had been unlucky, the rest were able to escape.
The chasing crowd couldn't help but feel a little lost.
A mage who was proficient in teleportation spells carefully examined the traces of the portal, and then judged, "Your Highness, they should have teleported to Andorhar!" ”
"It's Andohal again!" Arthas gritted his teeth: "I'm going to catch them...... No, I'm going to catch their leader! ”
