Chapter 173: Holy Light in the Darkness
More than a dozen soldiers guarded this watchtower, they were guards from the watchtower on the east wall, the original guards here, all dead, not a single one left!
There were no corpses.
All the slain guards have been resurrected as undead, become members of the Scourge, and become servants of Arthas!
Coming here, Da Sohan's face was very ugly.
He ordered the large army to be stationed here, and then looked up to the west, which was the direction of Stratholme.
It was less than thirty kilometers from the gate of the eastern wall of Stratholme, and if you marched with all your might, you could reach it in an afternoon.
Now is not the best time to attack.
The soldiers were sleepy and had to get enough rest before they could attack Stratholme in the best possible condition, and he had to take responsibility for the lives of the soldiers, and no soldier could die in vain because of his poor decision-making.
The most important thing is that the lord of Nathanos has not yet arrived.
It seems that the Elven Ranger Lord Hawksbill and his Ranger troops have entered the Land of Ghosts!
A haze appeared in Da Sohan's heart.
Without the help of the Elven Ranger, attacking Stratholme will cost a lot of more brothers!
There is also the smell of natural disasters and plagues in the evening breeze, and it makes people feel uncomfortable when they take a puff.
Paladins and priests must use the Holy Light to remove the plague for others every day, so that their physique and health are not affected.
Jiang Zai doesn't need to.
He wasn't tired at all.
The abundant internal strength allowed him to maintain enough energy and spirit, and the Xuanwu Immortal Technique gave him super vitality and stamina. Even if he travels without sleep for three days and three nights, he can still maintain a strong combat effectiveness.
For a martial artist who has learned to "lightning and thunder steps", rushing itself is equivalent to cultivation.
These days, he has opened up the yang stilt vein, communicates with the yin stilt vein, his eyesight has improved a lot, and he has a special ability similar to "dark vision", which is no less than that of the high elves and even the night elves, and his legs are also much lighter and more flexible, and the speed of light power is thirty percent faster than before.
In addition, the internal force has also increased by almost 20%, which is not a lot and not too little.
The difficulty of opening up the four veins of yin and yang is far less than that of the second vein of Chong Belt and the second vein of Rendu. Jiang Zheng estimated that when the battle of Stratholme was over and he entered the land of ghosts, he would be able to completely open up the four veins of yin and yang and start sprinting to the ninth layer of the day after tomorrow.
When night falls, the surroundings are pitch black, and sometimes you can hear the terrifying screams of ghosts and ghosts, Jiang Zheng, who has excellent eyesight, and sometimes you can see zombies shaking.
Arthas took away the most elite undead, but left behind those slow-moving zombies, and many ghosts and ghosts that are difficult to control are not taken away.
In addition to Stratholme, there are also a large number of undead entrenched in the entire Eastern Plague Lands.
In fact, with the exception of the Western Plaguelands, the Eastern Plaguelands were the most affected by the Natural Plague Plague. In addition to the Hand of Tyr, the Chapel of the Wish of Light, and the County of Talon that has been fighting hard, the entire Eastern Plague Land has become a world of the undead, and the survivors who are still alive and scattered all over the place are probably not a few thousand.
Killing a few zombies and skeletons in his way, ignoring the piercing screams of ghosts and ghosts, Jiang Zai sped away in the direction of Stratholme.
Yes, Stratholme.
As the strongest thief in the entire Holy Light Alliance, Da Sohan ordered him to get in touch with the paladin sentry hiding near Stratholme to find out the details of the whole of Stratholme before the coalition forces went on a big attack, and he had one night.
If only those paladins were alive!
The speed of the lightning rush is faster than the full strength of the war horse, but unfortunately it can't last.
The internal force is limited!
An hour later, Jiang Zao arrived at Stratholme.
This is the gate of the east wall, and there are a lot of undead hovering. Jiang Zheng avoided the sight of the undead and asked the game warehouse to increase the power scan, but found nothing.
The sentinel that Da Sohan spoke of is obviously no longer here.
Die or go!
"So, let's go in and have a look!"
Jiang Zheng sneaked up to the gate of the east wall and saw more than a dozen undead wandering inside the gate, including skeletons, zombies, ghouls, and even an abomination that exuded a decaying plague!
This is a long passage, and there must be more than these undead in it, it is too dense, even if it is Jiang Zheng, it is impossible to sneak past easily, and it is easy to be discovered.
"Then, let's fight!"
Jiang Zai did not hesitate and pulled out the Barov family's long sword.
The passage is not wide enough to wield a greatsword, but this longsword is more suitable.
Stratholme's undead are generally relatively strong, but now, those elite undead have basically been taken away by Arthas, and those who are left behind are scum with less than 5 combat power points.
At least so far, all of them.
The battle was not difficult, and the narrow passage allowed Jiang Zheng not to have to face more undead at the same time. After smashing a few skeletons, Jiang Zheng directly punched out with one palm, and the dragon-shaped airflow roared away, and the entire passage was instantly unblocked.
Walking to the end of the passage and killing the remaining undead, Jiang Zai cut the door lock with a sword and came to the Elder Square.
At a glance, it is densely packed and full of undead!
In the entire square, there are at least a thousand undead!
Fortunately, they are all brainless skeletons and zombies, and even ghouls are difficult to see, and the number of abhorrtions is very small, and there are basically no banshees, psychics, and necromancers.
Arthas won't leave so many elite ones, just a few boss-level town guards!
After all, for him, Stratholme didn't make sense at all, and the Well of the Sun was his goal!
As long as he can break through the Well of the Sun and resurrect Kel'thugad, then there will be an additional Legendary, or even a high-level Legendary-level Great Lich out of thin air, and then a large number of elite undead obtained from resurrecting the corpses of the High Elves, it will be easy to reoccupy Stratholme!
In fact, even if he returned from the Sunwell Heights, he wouldn't bother with a single Stratholme, Dalaran and Lordaeron were his targets!
There was a decaying and dilapidated aura everywhere, but soon, Jiang Zai saw a strange sight:
Around a low building on the right-hand side, there was not a single undead.
Whether it is ordinary skeletons, zombies, or stronger ghouls and abominations, they dare not approach that building, and go far away, as if there is something very terrible hidden in that building!
Infinitely terrifying stuff for the undead!
Jiang Zai's eyes lit up:
It was the Alonthos Chapel, the center of the Holy Light in the whole of Stratholme, a very famous holy place!
In Stratholme, which is now infested with the undead, it is the only light in the darkness!
