Chapter 504: Unexpected Reinforcements (3/4)
In this sneak attack and sniping, Jiang Zai and the others paid the price of six Brute Hammer Griffin Knights and most of the injuries, killed 8 frost dragons and more than 200 gargoyles, and Kel's air force was almost completely wiped out, and there was not much left, and the results were not brilliant.
But whether it was Jiang Zheng or the Great Lord of Fustad, their faces were very heavy.
Because of the tens of thousands of undead ground troops, at most one-tenth of the loss is made, and the remaining forces are still very strong.
And these tens of thousands of undead will attack Riptide Castle tonight.
All of their defending forces were only three hundred Riptide Fort guards, three hundred earth spirits, three hundred barbarian hammer griffin knights, and a few dozen warriors, nothing more.
Moreover, the Hammer Griffin Knights and Warriors were already very tired, and most of them were injured. Now that you only have a few hours to rest, can you take a break? It's simply impossible!
So, how can you hold the huge Riptide Fort?
Once an undead spirit breaks through the walls and enters Riptide Castle, the nearly 20,000 inhabitants of the city who are still in the city will be slaughtered like sheep in captivity, and then resurrected as undead and servants of Kel'thugad.
Therefore, Riptide Fort must not be breached, not a single wall, not a single gate!
It's very difficult, how to do it?
"Nicholas, now you tell me seriously, do you still have reinforcements?" Furstad bandaged his wound briefly, rejected the healing potion handed by Merry, pointed to Fort Rapids on the map and said, "We can't hold it!" If this continues, Fort Riptide will be breached tonight! We don't have enough troops, not enough at all! ”
"Yes, but I don't know if they'll come, or when."
Jiang Zai pointed to Nanhai Town and said, "I sent someone to Nanhai Town to ask for help, there are a full thousand Scarlet Crusader recruits stationed there, and two hundred true paladins!" The commander was Sally Whitemane, the adopted daughter of old Mograine. I asked Darian to ask for help, and with the relationship between them, it shouldn't be a big problem, but I don't know when I can get over. ”
Furstad frowned, his fingers swept along the main road from Southsea Town, through the walls of Soradin, all the way to Fort Riptide, calculated a little in his heart, and then said categorically: "Can't catch it!" The griffin flies in a straight line, flying over the surrounding mountains and coast, and a day to the town of Nanhai is enough! But they marched normally for a week! It will take five days at the earliest! ”
"But if you take the sea route, it's much faster."
Jiang Zai also stretched out his hand, and his fingers swept along the coast from Nanhai Town to the south shore of Riptide Fort: "King Solas should know that there is a bay here called Fadil Bay. Take a boat from Nanhai Town to here, if the speed is fast, you can get there in two days. ”
Everyone looked at King Solas, who nodded, "There is such a bay. Fort Riptide is close to the sea, but the city wall is more than fifty meters above the sea, so it is impossible to climb at all. So we had planned to build a port in Fadil Bay to trade, but there were a lot of reefs in that place, and there were naga, which was dangerous. ”
Jiang Zai shook his head with a smile and said, "It's okay, when they are almost there, I will go to Fadil Bay to escort them." But whether they will come, I don't know. ”
"There must be a light on the arrival of the ship, send someone to guard the tower of Araso, and notify us if they see it." King Solas said: "Nicholas, we can't count on them, don't have illusions! ”
"I have no illusions, King Solas." Jiang Zheng responded, and then turned his head to look at Merry: "Master Merry, can Ms. Egwen still come?" ”
"I don't know."
Merry shook her head and said, "I've sent a message, and she'll be able to see it as soon as she returns to the Guardian Temple." But whether she returned to the Guardian Temple, whether she would like to come or not, no one knows. ”
"Even if she doesn't come, it won't stop Anvena from coming. As long as Anvena comes, there is nothing to fear. ”
Jiang Zai nodded and spread his hands: "Okay, so that's the situation." Reinforcements may or may not return, but until then, we will be on our own. ”
A dignified piece.
It was bound to be a terrible war, and no one knew if it would be won, and how many people would die after it.
At this moment, Merry suddenly looked up at the south, and seemed to be a little surprised: "The Tower of Alathuo has mana fluctuations, it is the fluctuation of teleportation, and someone has teleported over!" There were three noticeable fluctuations, three people in total! ”
"Could it be Dalaran's reinforcements?" The Great Lord of Vorstad turned his head to look at Jiang Zai: "You went to Dalaran to ask for help?" That's right, the only ones who can get there as soon as possible are the mages of Dalaran! But why only three people came? What's the use of three people? ”
"I've been in contact with Archmage Ainsram, but unfortunately, the Kenrito Guards can't come, and the Battle Mage Corps can't either. The mages had all gone to Gilneth, for someone had found traces of Arthas near Dalaran, and then found him in Gilness. ”
Jiang Zai frowned and shook his head.
How could he not have asked Dalaran for help?
But Alsace appeared!
One Alsace is enough to attract the attention of several archmages of Dalaran, the Kenrito Guardian is responsible for protecting Dalaran who has not yet been rebuilt, the battle mage regiment went to Gilneth to search for Arthas, and even the Lightbringer Uther went to Gilness, the Gilnis brigade is like a great enemy, and the Grand Lord of Darius estimates that he will not want to sleep well these days.
What is there about Gilneth to be concerned about in Alsace?
Jiang Zai suspected that the reason why Arthas did this was actually to contain the mages of Dalaran and make them unable to divert their energy from reinforcements from Riptide Castle.
Dalaran can't be counted on.
So, who's coming now?
"Let's take a look!"
As soon as Jiang Zai and the others walked out of the palace, they saw the three ladies coming towards them.
A human, a high elf, and a half-elf are all acquaintances of Jiang Zheng.
The human being is a female archmage, wearing a complete set of epic mage suit "Frost Fire", with blonde hair flowing like golden waves, and her body exudes not weak energy fluctuations:
She turned out to be the archmage of the Brotherhood of Light, "Angela Dusatus", the only archmage in the entire Eastern Plaguelands, and one of the three giants of the Brotherhood of Light.
On the High Elf's back, two one-handed swords of similar style but somewhat different were intertwined, one emitting a golden glow and the other emitting a blue glow, with the same curved blade, and even the arc was very similar.
She also has blonde hair, but her figure is much hotter than that of Archmage Angela, and she is directly D-level with a B-level and a slender waist, which is heart-shaking.
There is no doubt that she is Liadrin, the high-ranking priest of Quel'Thalas, one of the commanders of the Ash Army, the leader of the High Elf Paladins, and a powerful high-ranking paladin, but if you count those two swords, I am afraid that even those great knights may not be able to defeat her easily.
Queldra, Quelsella, the sword forged by the Elder Dragon, was reforged a few months ago with the help of Kael'thas and Crassus, and has far more power than before, as well as the fire of life of the red dragon, and the unity of the two swords is legendary.
Two older ladies stood on the left and on the right, half-elves dressed in golden armor and carrying the famous Paladin Excalibur: Ember Bringer.
She looked at Jiang Zai, and Jiang Zai looked at her, speechless.
"Finn ......" Furstad was about to say hello, but Archmage Angela raised his hand for a "silence spell", and then King Solas grabbed him by the neck and lifted him up, allowing him to struggle violently and strode away.
Merry had already left quietly, and the archmage Angela hurriedly followed, eager to talk to the longest-living legendary mage about her life ideals, while Liadline smiled at Jiang Zai, and then turned to leave.
Only one man and one woman remained where they were.
This moment belongs to them.
