Chapter 177: Dysom, the City of the Dead
Brainless undead are easy to deal with, but the occasional necromancer and ghoul are much more difficult to deal with, and injuries and even death are inevitable.
Gargoyles, it's even more difficult to deal with.
Yes, even if the undead of Naxxramas did not enter Stratholme, there were gargoyles here, though in small numbers.
These gargoyles are made of plague bats, their own body is not small, their wings are spread out and a meter long, and after being transformed by magic, they have strong magic resistance, low-level spells are difficult to damage them, and spells such as curse and weakness are completely ineffective!
The most important thing is that they can transform into a stone statue state at any time, and their already very hard bodies can be transformed into even harder rocks, which can't even shoot through the elf feather arrows, and the mage's ice arrows and fireball spells are of little use, but only the all-out heavy sword slash is effective!
These gargoyles caused a lot of trouble for the coalition forces, and in order to destroy them, the Ash Army paid more than twenty corpses, and the Elven Ranger also lost a dozen.
That elite gargoyle with two meters of wings spread, the "stone ridge" of the small boss level, was killed by Jiang Zai himself, and he was cut into gravel with a sword!
Although most of the elite undead were taken away by Arthas, there are still a lot left here.
Pale Maleki, a high-level necromancer who can spell ice and drain his life, killed several warriors before being burned to ashes by an enraged Fenna.
And when he saw the banshee Anna Stali, Oryx's face became ugly!
Because this banshee is his mother, the Lady of Baron Rivendell!
Eventually, after the flames of the Ember Bringer consumed half of the Baroness's life, Oryx purified her with tears in his eyes, and the only remaining remains were brought back to the Chapel of Alonsos by two wounded warriors at his request, where they could be buried at a later date.
From morning to nightfall, the Ash Army and the Ranger Force have wiped out at least tens of thousands of undead!
They rushed along the streets, destroying all the undead in sight, but there were many more undead, hidden in the intricate alleys and houses, and they really wanted to purify all the undead, and the two days ordered by Da Sohan were simply not enough, ten days were not enough.
You can only destroy the most difficult undead first, destroy all the undead bosses, and take your time with the others.
Along the way, under Jiang Zai's admonition, the soldiers searched all the supply crates they could find, which contained holy water distributed by the Chapel of Alonthos before the slaughter of the city in Alsace.
These holy waters are very lethal to the undead, and they can also purify the corpses, so that these corpses will not be resurrected by the Scourge Legion, which is a strategic material.
Unfortunately, there are not many of them.
The Ash Army itself carried some holy water, but it was still not enough, and it would need to be mobilized later from the Chapel of Light's Wish and even Lordaeron.
As night wore on, they returned to the Alonthos Chapel, repaired under the protection of the Light.
In the early morning of the next day, the sky was slightly bright, and we set off again.
Cleaning up the few undead who had re-emerged, they were in the deepest part of the city at nine o'clock in the morning, and then they saw the largest and most elite thousands of undead, mixed with Ramsden the Swallower and twenty or thirty heads of abomination.
And surrounded by the undead, a death knight riding a death horse and wielding an epic sword came into view.
When he saw this death knight, Oryx's tears rolled down involuntarily, and a hoarse and desperate voice rang out in the dead city:
"Father!"
…………
This is Dysom, an elven city in the southern part of the Wraith Lands, and the second largest city in the entire High Elf realm after Silvermoon City.
50,000 High Elves, dwelling here!
The city's population is too small for Lordaeron or Stratholme, but for the sparsely populated High Elf realm, 50,000 is already a remarkable number.
The High Elves are not a particularly lively race, and the number of High Elves scattered throughout the towns and villages, and even in the wild huts, is even greater than the number of the two cities combined.
The High Elves are beautiful, with a streamlined structure and a red color that represents the sun, making it look like a paradise on earth......
However, everything has become a thing of the past.
The black flying fortress floating beneath the clouds put unimaginable pressure on the city, and the elite undead of Naxxramas and the Scourge legion brought by Arthas, rushed into and slaughtered the entire city!
In the past week, the entire elven city has been reduced to ruins, Anubrekan's massive body has destroyed everything, and the force of death has turned the beautiful buildings into dim and low colors, ruined everywhere, and full of undead.
Fifty thousand elves have turned into fifty thousand undead, of which at least 10,000 are elite level, and the army of Arthas has been unprecedentedly strengthened, and its comprehensive strength has even doubled!
This is the result of the past week.
Standing in front of the council hall and looking at the dense crowd of undead throughout the city, Arthas's heart was filled with satisfaction and pleasure, as well as the supreme honor brought by absolute domination and absolute power!
The frost sorrow on his back shuddered with satisfaction, and with each High Elf killed and the undead resurrected, the power of the magic sword became stronger, and so did the power of Arthas.
Someday, he will become a high-level Legendary-level Death Knight, stronger than Uther!
It's just that when he thinks of the Dreaddemon King who has been away for two days, his mood is a little bad, and he said lightly: "Tikdios...... Where did that guy go? ”
"He's gone to Stratholme, my prince." There was no figure around, but a voice sounded in his ears: "The Dreadlord likes to play tricks and tricks the most, he wants to give the Holy Light Alliance army attacking Stratholme a ruthless blow, and he also wants to control that force from the inside!" That guy is not of the same heart as us! ”
"Uther is not here, it looks like he will succeed." Arthas frowned.
"Not necessarily, my prince. Uther is not there, and Dasohan is not easy to deal with, as well as the Brotherhood of Light, and the Ashbringer, and...... Nicholas. The unseen soul whispered softly, "Of course, it doesn't matter. Whatever the outcome, it's good for us. After all...... They are all our enemies! ”
"The road ahead is difficult, the elven rangers will attack us, the great name of Sylvanas, I heard about it when I was a prince, I heard that there are many dragon eagle knights in Taquilin, and there are also many elven mages in the Holy Tower in the Wraithlands and the Eternal Song Forest." Arthas said, "Most importantly, Quel'Thalas's rune enchantment is famous. ”
"Don't worry, my prince, the Scourge can destroy everything." Kel'thugad, the soul who has not yet been resurrected, said, "As for the rune barrier...... I've laid everything out! Whether it's Silvermoon City or the Sunwell Heights, they can't stop the Scourge Legion, nor can they stop my resurrection! ”
"So, let's go now, to Silvermoon City, and the Well of the Sun Heights?" Arthas asked.
"Of course, my prince. The Scourge will travel through the High Elves realm, leaving a trail of death, undead and undead. Kel'thugad chuckled like a ghost: "As for here, give it to the plague bringer Noth and his psychicists, they will build several psychic towers here, and the filthy Hilgai will also set up the plague cauldron here, and the plague of natural disasters will start from here, polluting the entire ghost land!" ”
