Under the cover of the thick darkness of night, groups of brave crusaders hurried along the avenues of the Eastern Plaguelands to Stratholme. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The Assassin Rohan and his Assassin forces had already set out two hours early, and they had to pull out most of the undead outposts as quickly as possible!

The Grand General Abidis, the Ember Messenger Mograine, and the Grand Attorney Ethan Lion each led three elite Scarlet Crusader troops, and they were to fight through the East, South, and West Gates of Stratholme.

The Grand Crusader Da Sohan will lead the main force of the Crusaders and break them off.

Stratholme, once the second largest city in Lordaeron, is the most prosperous area in the eastern part of Lordaeron...... However, in the seventeenth year of the Dark Gate, the Dark Gate was bloodbathed by an army of the undead, and the leader of the Knights of the Silver Hand, Lord Uther, was killed in battle, and the entire city was transformed into the undead.

After careful detection and calculation, the high-level of the Crusaders estimated that the number of undead in the entire city of Stratholme was around 4,000, and there were not too many high-level necromancers and the like...... So with the help of the Ash Bringer, this is not an invincible number.

……

Bridget Abydis donned her blood-red armor, a feeling she'd grown accustomed to since she had been baptized as a paladin more than a year ago.

However, after nearly ten hours of rapid marching, her body still felt a little tired.

Her father, General Alfred Abydis, who was in front, turned back and asked with concern, "Brie, are you tired?" ”

"No, it's fine!" Bridget quickly shook her head, she didn't want her father to be distracted at this time.

Alfred walked over to the girl and gently straightened her collar.

Then he raised his head and shouted to the soldiers behind him: "Rest for a while, Stratholme is not far ahead, we will do whatever it takes to recover the city, for Lordaeron!" ”

"For Lordaeron!" The warriors of the Scarlet Crusaders shouted.

After receiving the order, all the soldiers began to rest in place and regain their strength.

"Father, I'm a little nervous!" Bridget was beside General Alfred, she whispered.

"That's normal!" General Alfred smiled: "After all, this is your first time on the battlefield!" ”

"Am I useless...... the girl said, a little frustrated.

"No, I have an idea, Brie, when Stratholme can reconnect with the outside world, I'll let you send you to Stormwind!" General Alfred said suddenly, with some seriousness.

"What...... Why! Bridget asked, surprised.

"Actually, I regret taking you away from Lordaeron in the first place, if you had stayed there, I'm afraid you would have followed Her Royal Highness Princess Jialia south to a safe area, you don't have to suffer like me during this time!" General Alfred sighed.

"No, it's my wish to fight the undead as well!" Bridget said seriously.

"Huh!" General Alfred smiled faintly: "Brie, you are a girl, many things, many burdens are not necessarily borne by you...... Protecting our motherland and recovering our homeland doesn't require you to make sacrifices......"

"Father's ......"

"Get up, you're ready to go!" General Alfred has already stood up and begun to gather his men!

……

After a short break, Abydis led an elite of the Scarlet Crusaders to sneak into Stratholme through the South Gate, and the Scarlet Crusaders' attack on Stratholme officially began.

Along the way, they easily swept away several undead strongholds, without even causing much movement.

"Looks like things are going well!" Bridget smiled and asked her father.

"No......," General Alfred shook his head.

Years of combat experience made him feel that something was not quite right, because the defense of the undead seemed to be a little lax, and the laxity was very abnormal!

But such a little doubt will not discourage him from moving forward. Because he's not fighting alone, he's just a part of the Scarlet Crusade's whole plan! If he chooses to retreat because of such doubts, he may kill his comrades!

An iron gate appeared in front of him, and it looked a little eerie.

"Let's go, go over!" General Alfred said that it was only through this iron gate that one could enter the town hall of Stratholme!

He walked over first, touched the iron door, and felt very stable.

One by one, the soldiers, led by him, entered the iron gate.

The tunnel inside the iron gate was very long, and when most of the soldiers had entered, the front had not yet reached the end.

General Alfred did not lead the troops at the front, but stayed at the rear of the ranks...... Suddenly, his face changed, and he heard a voice, and the iron gate was rapidly descending......

"Trap!"

"Father!" Brigitte was heard shouting loudly, and the girl had just walked into the iron gate.

General Alfred rushed over without hesitation, and then used all his strength to push his daughter out of the iron gate.

The Iron Gate had fallen entirely, and he himself was trapped here with most of the Scarlet Crusaders!

"Go ahead and have a look!" General Alfred shouted loudly, and at the same time had the torches that had been prepared for a long time be lit.

Several paladins rushed forward with torches raised.

"General, the road ahead is also blocked by the iron gate!" I heard them shouting at a loud voice.

"Everyone, be careful, beware of the sudden attack of the undead......" Before General Alfred could finish speaking, he suddenly heard a scream from ahead.

"Ah......h

"Something!" General Alfred drew his sword.

"Rats...... A lot of rats...... Ah......h

Bridget's face turned pale, and she and the Scarlet Crusaders trapped outside the iron door tried desperately to pry it open, but to no avail.

In the light of the torches, General Alfred had already seen the attackers clearly.

That's right, there was a dense crowd of rats on the ground.

Not ordinary rats, but rats that have turned into undead...... They are about dozens of times the size of ordinary mice, and the number is impossible to count.

A brave Scarlet Crusader was overwhelmed by the scourge rats.

There are also some cowardly ones who grab the iron door behind them and want to escape, but it has no effect at all......

General Alfred wields his sword and destroys as many terrible scourge rats as he can! But his weapon, it's hard to do too much damage to these little things! (To be continued.) )
