Chapter 102: Battle of Andohar
Once the leader of the Psychic Academy, Araki was ordered by K'l'Thugad to hand over the management to another lich, Lesfrost, while continuing to sow fear in the Western Plaguelands.
It stands to reason that he should still be in the Psychic Academy, as an overseer, in charge of ruling and guarding the Psychic Academy in the name of the Scourge. It wasn't until Kel'thugad was resurrected in the form of the Great Lich that he was ordered to leave the Psychic Academy and come to Andohar.
Now, he's actually appeared!
Moreover, according to the confession he received from Baron Thorosen, Les Frost has appeared and has also become the leader of the Psychic Academy!
Has history changed, or is this the real history?
After all, games are just games after all, and no one knows what the history of this world is like, and how different it is from what the game describes!
At least Fenna Golden Sword, which doesn't exist at all in the game, has all appeared now, what else is impossible?
Araki, is a lich.
In this world, if you want to transform into a lich, you need very harsh conditions, not only to prepare a strong enough lich life box with magical power, you need to use a large number of magic materials for transformation rituals, and the transformed person also needs to have extremely powerful spell casting ability.
Generally speaking, only high-level mages are eligible to transform into lichs.
After transformation, not only will you gain eternal life, but you will also gain the ability to manipulate ice and the undead.
The Lich is a master of manipulating ice. Any lich has the ability to cast spells equivalent to a Frost Specialized Archmage!
The Lich is also a master of manipulating death and playing with souls. A lich is even more terrifying than an ordinary archmage!
To put it simply, if it is the current Gianna, one-on-one, she may not have a 100% chance of winning and can kill the summoner Araki!
"No wonder in the past two days, the gathering speed of the undead in Andohar has been getting faster and faster, and thousands of undead have gathered from all over the world every day, and it turns out that he is here! He's presiding over the calling! ”
This information was too important, and Jiang Zai personally returned to Icewind Gang and reported to Gavinrad.
"What? Summoner Araki? An archmage-level lich? 40,000 undead gathered in Andorhal? Gavin Rad stood up with a thud, the news brought by Jiang Zheng was terrible!
What does it mean for a lich to appear in Andorhar?
The original 40,000 undead who were scattered in the sand now have the backbone and the commander!
A flock of sheep is not scary, but if the flock is dominated by a tiger, it is scary!
"In addition, in the north tower of Andorhar, I saw a magic circle full of white bones, and skeletons crawled out of the pile of bones, one by one, in a steady stream! If I'm not mistaken, it's a bone heap circle! Jiang Zai added.
In the interrogation of the members of the Cursed Sect, as well as the magic book obtained from the slain psychic master, Jiang Zai and others obtained a lot of information about the undead scourge, including the mention of the "Bone Heap Circle".
To put it simply, this is a magic circle that uses necromancy to automatically combine broken bones into skeletons.
Skeletons are basically cannon fodder, and a recruit who has undergone three months of training can kill several at once!
But the problem is, there are so many people!
In that bone pile array, there were skeletons crawling up every moment. Count it down, at least thousands, or even thousands, of them a day! As long as it takes ten days, it's tens of thousands of skeletons, how many people do you need to kill them all?
Moreover, even if you kill the skeleton, as long as the bones are still there, you can resurrect them as skeletons through the bone pile circle, endlessly!
Destroying the Bone Stack Circle and then killing the summoner Araki who presides over the circle is the best solution!
"Bone Stack Circle?" Gavinrad's face with a thick beard was full of majesty: "Wait a day! I've sent someone to contact the Valley of the Hearth, the Undead Fortress, and tomorrow I'll raid the final battle against Andorhar! The Hammer Dwarven Knights and the Dwarven Musketeers of Ironforge are coming! ”
The Lord of Kurtaz, although he took a group of Brute Hammer Griffin Knights with Uther and Gianna to find Arthas, but there were still two hundred griffon knights left, and they rushed to the undead barrier between the Tirisfal Glade and the Western Plaguelands, a fortress that had already existed and was rebuilt after the appearance of the Scourge Plague.
General Hermit Nesinvari, along with his five hundred dwarven musketeers, also marched all the way, calculating the time to reach the Undead Barrier tonight.
With these two new forces joining, plus the hundreds of garrisons that the Undead Fortress already had, more than a thousand people in Icewind Gang, two thousand soldiers in Hearthvale, and various sentry posts all over the Western Plague Land, the scattered squads added up to almost seven or eight thousand people!
This is probably equivalent to one-third of the strength of the entire Lordaeron Kingdom, right? Maybe it's far from the number of them, but they're all elite!
It's not impossible to storm Andohar, and there is a good chance of winning!
Jiang Zai soon returned to the East Bridge and continued to defend.
Early the next morning, Gavinrad arrived at the East Bridge with most of the Icewind Gang garrison.
Half an hour later, a griffin knight brought the signal of the undead fortress: the general assault has begun!
The real war was very tragic.
A heavily armed warrior shouted, charged forward, smashed a skeleton with a sword, swept with a sword, and cut off the head of a zombie, followed by a shield strike, smashing a ghoul, but the next moment was slashed in the chest by an abomination with a huge machete, and the huge force made the chest armor dent!
A thief sneaked up behind a psychic and struck out, slitting the psychic's throat with a dagger that flashed with cold light, but he was also besieged by several ghouls, eventually killing two ghouls, and himself was impaled through the stomach by the claws of a third ghoul, drenched in blood!
A paladin wielded a war hammer, and the shining holy light instantly purified several undead around him, and the paladin was indeed more advantageous than other professions in dealing with the undead, but in front of the corpse mountain and the sea of bones, he couldn't last long, and soon he was covered in bruises, and the holy light could not completely cure him and finally die.
Such scenes are everywhere!
But, the results are impressive!
Gavinrad took the lead, like a glowing target, wearing a holy light on his head and a holy ring, those brainless zombie skeletons, seeing him was like seeing a peerless beauty, they all pounced on him, and hundreds of thousands of undead all attacked him.
Of course, because of space, it is impossible to rush up, and there are at most a dozen or so people who can attack him.
But no undead can really come near him!
Paladins are no different from other professions when fighting orcs, but when dealing with undead and demons, they have an advantage over other professions, because of the Holy Light!
