Chapter 167: You're Killing Yourself
(There's nothing wrong with the High Elves' allegiance to the Sauradin bloodline, it's clear in the chronicles.) Back then, the High Elves were really grateful to the human race, and the unified human empire was indeed very powerful at that time, and the High Elves were about to destroy the country at that time. Allegiance to the Soladin bloodline is nothing incomprehensible. It's Soladin blood, not human. So, don't keep saying that the High Elves and humans are allies, not allegiance...... It's an alliance, and I didn't say it's not! )
Looking at the deflated Sun King, Jiang Zai chuckled.
He didn't expect the Sun King to have a good attitude, the High Elves were notoriously indifferent to outsiders, not to mention that this was also the King of the High Elves, and his status was extremely noble.
As long as he can live in peace and let this meeting go ahead as usual, it will be enough.
"Since you all agree, I declare the meeting open!"
Jiang Zai faced so many high-level people in the Eastern Continent, without stage fright, and talked eloquently: "The current situation, everyone has already had a certain understanding through their respective channels. But what I want to tell you is that what you know is just the tip of the iceberg. The strength of Arthas, the strength of the Scourge Legion, is far more terrifying than you think. ”
Tip of the iceberg!
Hearing Jiang Zheng's words, Antonidas nodded and smiled. How terrifying the Scourge's legion is, except for Jiang Zheng, only he knows best. But he still thinks that Jiang Zai's statement is a bit exaggerated.
It's as exaggerated as the mysterious prophet a few months ago.
As for the others, they didn't care even more, and the Sun King's face even showed undisguised mockery.
"Wasn't the Scourge's legion repelled by you? My sentinel told me that Arthas, with the remnants of his undead, had rolled to the Eastern Plaguelands, and was now in the city where Arthas himself had slaughtered him: Stratholme! Jean Greymane, the future Wolf King, slapped the table and shook his head, "Scourge Legion? Alsace? You Lordaeron can deal with it! Still need us to intervene? ”
"King Jean, no country in the Eastern Continent is capable of fighting the Scourge Legion, not Lordaeron, nor Gilnes, Dalaran, or the Sun King's proud Quel'Thalas."
Jiang Zai glanced around, and then said affirmatively: "Arthas, he was once a proud prince, a powerful warrior, a believer in the Holy Light, and a hero of the people!" Now he is a traitorous sinner, the embodiment of death, an enemy of the Light, a traitor of justice! The rune sword 'Frostmourn' in his hand is capable of resurrecting any slain creature, even dragons. I think Lord Uther will tell you how many undead are active on this continent right now! ”
Everyone's eyes were focused on Uther, the legendary paladin nodded towards Jiang Zheng, and then said in his usual loud voice: "There are still at least fifty thousand undead in the Tirisfara Woodland, there are still fifty thousand undead in the Western Plague Land that have not been cleared, and there are at least three hundred thousand undead in the Eastern Plague Land!" Stratholm at least 200,000, Taronshire, Sickwood, Hand of Tyre...... According to conservative estimates, there are still 400,000 undead in the entire Lordaeron Continent! ”
Hiss!
Everyone gasped!
400,000 undead!
Although several leaders already knew some information about the undead scourge, they did not know exactly how many undead there were. Except for Antonidas, who has been paying attention to this matter, the others before this thought that at most tens of thousands of undead were wreaking havoc, plus a Stratholme. But I didn't expect that there were so many!
The situation has reached such a serious level!
"I would like to remind everyone that this is only the number of undead that exists. There are still at least hundreds of thousands of Lordaeron people in the Tirisfard Glades, the East and West Plague Lands, and once killed, these people will be resurrected as undead. Also, psychics and death knights will resurrect corpses in the graveyard! ”
Jiang Zheng looked around and said coldly: "You can imagine how far the number of undead will accumulate when the cemeteries are hollowed out one by one, and when the corpses crawl out of the graves!" Million? Million? If you stand idly by, the number of the undead will grow at a rate you can't imagine. In a few months, the undead will spread to the Silver Pine Forest, the Alterac Mountains, the Hillsbrad Hills, and the Hinterland, and then the entire Lordaeron continent will be reduced to a world of the undead! ”
"Alarmist!"
How could these leaders in high positions be shocked by Jiang Zheng's words, Jean sneered, and then reprimanded without hesitation: "Undead? Those fragile skeletons? Slow-moving zombies? Or an abomination that seems big but is actually not difficult to deal with? Gilneth has not yet recovered from WWII and will not send troops! ”
"King Jean, do you think the mountains north of the Silver Pine Forest can stop the invasion of the undead? But as far as I know, there are already undead in the northern part of the Silver Pine Forest! Don't forget, the Scourge also has mages, archmages! It's not difficult to break through the mountains! ”
An intriguing expression appeared on Jiang Zai's face: "Do you think the undead can't break through the natural defense line of the Silver Pine Forest?" Herds of ferocious beasts that will keep them out? Sorry, it's not just humans who can be resurrected as undead, but beasts as well! Or do you think the newly built Wall of Greymane will keep the undead at bay? What good can a wall do when the whole world is undead? Or ......"
Jiang Zheng's face was full of cold mockery: "Do you really think that by letting Archmage Arugao summon evil and murderous werewolves, you can resist the invasion of the undead?" The horrors of werewolves, the Night Elves on another continent know better than you, and Speaker Antonidas knows better than you! They may be able to withstand the undead, but I want to say this: you are not afraid...... Suicide? ”
Before he could finish speaking, the smile on Jean's face froze completely, replaced by panic and disbelief.
He stood up suddenly, pulled out the saber at his waist in an instant, pointed the tip of the sword at Jiang Zai, and scolded sharply: "Say! Where did you learn about these secrets? Arugao's proposal is even a verbal debriefing! There could be no one but me who knew! Could it be that Arugao told you? ”
"Jean! Put down your saber! What are you doing? Do you want to do something to the Earl of Lordaeron? Heroes fighting the undead? You ask me if the hammer in my hand will say yes! You ask the people of Lordaeron if they say yes! Uther raised the Silver Hand Hammer in his hand, roaring in anger like a giant bear.
Beside him, Fenna pulled out the Ember Bringer as well.
"Lord Uther, Fenna, it's okay. I think King Jean was just trying to scare me. How could His Majesty, who has always been a gentleman, attack me like a barbarian? Jiang Zai shook his head at Fenna and chuckled, without the slightest fear.
Before becoming a werewolf, this King Jean was not known for his fighting power. Even if he does fight, he is confident that he will defeat the other party. Among all the leaders here, King Jean's strength is probably the worst, and even King Varian, who is just 25 years old this year, is much stronger than him.
He may not be King Varian's opponent, but he is really not afraid to face King Jean!
