Chapter 272: Plans and Changes
The High Elves in front of them have shown strong combat effectiveness, and the main ones that have appeared at the moment are the ranger troops of Silvermoon City, and the High Elves are the most famous are the mage troops!
"If you really bring all the High Elves to fight the Undead Scourge, maybe there is really hope of winning......" Song Zheng thought secretly in his heart, but he also remembered the way Alsace broke through this magical defense barrier in the history of Warcraft.
"Yes...... This magical barrier has been destroyed from within, and traitors have appeared within the High Elves, alas, mages are easily tempted by their excessive pursuit of power, and that guy can attract a lot of mages to work for him with a little knowledge from the Burning Legion. Song Zheng sighed secretly.
Like the powerful necromancers who are now commanding this army of undead, they should have been born in Dalaran, but they have defected to the Lich King for the same power as Kel'thugad, and their status seems to be inferior to Kelthugad, so that the necromancer at the head still has some jealousy towards Kelthugad.
Perhaps seeing that the undead army was too slow to cut down the forest and vulnerable to attack, the necromancers quickly changed their methods and began to unleash all kinds of fire magic on the forest in the distance, seemingly intending to completely burn the forest that was integrated with the magical enchantment.
However, the magic defense enchantment seemed to be very powerful, and after those fire magic bombardments past, it did not cause any effect, but instead attracted a rain of arrows from the elven rangers to counterattack.
In the end, the necromancers were angry and reluctant to abandon their plan to burn the forest with flames, and continued to use the army of undead to cut down trees.
However, in this way, the attack of the undead scourge had to be slowed down, which was absolutely rare to see before.
It is an absolute shame to say that the army of the undead who rushed out of the city of Stratholme this time was at least three or four hundred thousand, but they could not even find the gate of the house.
Perhaps it was for this reason that the necromancers who commanded the battle were extremely angry, ordering their troops to force an attack, while desperately resurrecting the dead in the back.
The elven rangers are excellent at archery, but bows and arrows are not actually the best weapon against the undead troops, in addition to the difficulty of inflicting fatal damage on the undead, the corpses of the undead who are shot often remain intact and can be easily revived by the necromancers in the rear...... This may also be a shortcoming for the Elven Rangers.
"It looks like it's been a long time, and I wonder if Sylvanas is here?" Looking at the battle in the distance, Song Zheng was secretly a little anxious.
The undead were powerful, but the High Elf could resist it with the help of the magic defense enchantment, but he didn't have time to watch the battle between the two sides.
However, the undead natural disaster could not break through the magic barrier of the elves, and Song Zheng himself could not enter either.
"It seems that we will have to go back the way we came, through Stratholme to the south, or climb up the cliff next to us." Song Zheng sighed, he was more worried about the safety of Agatha and the other warlocks at the moment.
"Hmm...... I've regained some of my strength, and I should be able to fight, but those two knight's swords have been lost on the battlefield. Catherine whispered with some regret, she was still curled up on Song Zheng's chest, looking like she was enjoying such an ambiguous posture.
"Those are just two ordinary knight's swords, and when we get back, I'll make you two better swords, or...... We went straight to the dwarves to craft two black iron swords, and I've heard that the dwarves have made black iron weapons that can sharpen iron like clay. ”
Catherine immediately laughed, as if she had already received a weapon from Song Zheng, and said happily: "The weapons made by the dwarves are naturally very good, but the black iron weapons are too expensive, and many paladins can't afford to use them, so I only need two thickened and weighted knight swords." ”
"Thickened and aggravated ...... Your power has increased again? Song Zheng smiled dumbly, but his current strength had already increased by at least three times with the improvement of the character's attributes, in the past, he could only use a dagger, but now he could also swing that huge knight's sword with ease.
Originally, Song Zheng wanted to bypass Stratholme from the cliffs on both sides, but since Catherine's strength had recovered somewhat, she could use stealth to enter Stratholme more easily.
Thinking that at this moment, the army of undead in Stratholme City had all rushed out to attack the High Elves, and Song Zheng began to feel a little moved in his heart.
"I don't know how many undead troops there are in Stratholme City now, maybe I can really take the opportunity to attack Stratholme, even if it is to burn down the undead manufacturing place like the slaughterhouse......
Catherine naturally did not object to any decision made by Song Zheng, and the two quickly quietly returned to the vicinity of Stratholm City, only to see that the north gate of Stratholme was still wide open, but there were no undead troops pouring out again, and even the troops guarding it were gone.
This made it very easy for the two of them to enter the city through the corridor at the north gate.
The situation in the city is also very different from before, before there were always undead wandering on both sides of the roads and in those ruins, sometimes even thousands of undead gathered together, but here into the city, there are few undead on the road, and occasionally encounter lone sporadic undead, and most of them are skeletons or ghouls with severed limbs and broken arms.
"It seems that the large army of the Undead Scourge has indeed been dispatched, and the current Stratholme can be said to be the emptiest!" Song Zheng was pleasantly surprised, this was definitely a good time to attack Stratholme.
However, his fire-summoning magic was still on cool, and Catherine had only regained some of her strength, so it was still difficult to wreak havoc on a large scale in the city at once.
"Let's go to Agatha and the others first, and if we can join those warlocks in attacking Stratholme, we may be able to reclaim them in one fell swoop." Song Zheng quickly made a decision, it was too dangerous to fight alone.
Moreover, the recovery of Stratholme will definitely have a huge impact on the undead scourge, and it is estimated that even if it succeeds, it will immediately be violently counterattacked by the undead scourge, and it is impossible to defend it by him alone.
The two of them soon made their way through Stratholme, stealthing through the city's southern gate, and only when they were already some distance away did they resummon the Dreadhorse, and rode with Catherine to the east to find the warlocks.
Although he had experienced a lot of battles recently, they had all happened in a single day, and it was likely that those warlocks were still attacking the psychic towers in the east according to the original plan, and it should not be difficult to find.
