Chapter 140: Dilemma

Humans have fought orcs twice, and they are naturally no strangers to the orc shaman, which is a profession that can rival human mages.

When humans and orcs fought at the beginning, they suffered many losses from orc shamans, and many people tried to study and learn the ability of shamans, especially after defeating the orcs, humans seized a large number of shaman-related materials and items from the orcs, but no matter how humans studied, no one has been able to learn how to use shaman's ability for more than ten years.

At this moment, Song Zheng suddenly used the shaman's unique totem, although he only used the simplest trap totem among the shaman's many totems, which still caused many people to be shocked.

And the effect of the trap is also very good, which greatly hinders the pursuit of those undead in the dark, allowing everyone to highlight the encirclement quite smoothly.

The people of the Cursed Church were very reluctant to do this, and chased them all the way to the crumbling walls of Nanhai Town, but in the face of the orc banners flying in the darkness, these troops of the Cursed Church finally retreated after wandering for a long time.

Song Zheng was glad about this, although the power of the cursed church here was also strong, it was far from what he expected.

If it was a real undead natural disaster, there would definitely be no need to use any magic array to resurrect those corpses before the battle, and all life would have been swept away directly with the sea of the undead.

"It seems that the Cursed Church at this stage still has great flaws, but since the plan of the Cursed Church has been launched, I don't know what the situation in the north is......" Song Zheng's mind had already flown into the distance.

If the history of Warcraft is followed, then the plague should have been rampant in the area of Andohar at this moment, and Arthas and Gianna will be sent by Lordaeron and Dalaran respectively to investigate the cause of the plague outbreak.

However, things have changed a lot now, and a large number of undead troops have appeared in the hills of Hillsbrad, which were not affected by the undead scourge in the history of Warcraft, which is likely to cause a big change in the course of history.

……

In the newly established camp of the Church of the Damned, the chaos gradually subsided, and Gu Xin stared at the town of Nanhai in the distance, his already pale face worse than before.

After uniting with the Syndicate thieves, he used a large number of undead soldiers to capture Tarummir very smoothly, originally he thought that he could successfully occupy the entire Hillsbrad Hills area, so that even if he lost the crystal bottle containing the source of the plague, the final result was no worse than planned, and it should be considered to be able to surrender to the top.

However, when he came to this Nanhai Town, things were beyond his expectations again.

Originally, he thought that Nanhai Town was just a commercial town, and the Church of the Damned had once again developed a large number of believers, which should be easier to occupy than Tarummir, but the result was much more than he expected, in front of this Nanhai Town, which he thought could be easily captured, he commanded the army to attack for several days in a row, but was blocked by the other party again and again......

"Master Guxin, if we can't capture Nanhai Town again, I'm afraid that Lordanlun's reinforcements will come, so I think it's better to order the siege immediately." Dressed in black armor, Owen had a stern expression, and although he had a large number of troops at his disposal, he was still far from being able to compete with Lordaeron's army.

"I know, but the orcs ...... Do you think we can defeat both human and orc forces at the same time? Gu Xin frowned, the orc battle flags fluttering in the night wind on the wall of Nanhai Town in front of him made him feel extremely disgusted and entangled.

In the past, he might not have cared much about the fighting power of the orcs, but in the previous battle, the orc shaman unleashed a powerful earthquake spell that almost buried all his troops, and it still makes him feel uneasy.

"Those orcs may not still be in Nanhai Town, orcs and humans are incompatible, and it is absolutely impossible for them to help humans defend the city." Owen said with some hesitation.

"Then where did you say those orcs went, we have explored the surrounding mountains and forests, and there is no trace of those orcs, but many people have seen those orcs enter the city, but it is not easy to know the news in the city now, we can only see if the believers in the city can spread any useful news tomorrow." Gusin sighed.

"That old guy in Mareb is really ruthless, after discovering that we were attacking the city, he immediately carried out a major purge in Nanhai Town, and even Baron Fernand was arrested by him, and now it is very difficult to contact the believers in the city, I think it is better to continue the siege, those walls have not been repaired, now is the best opportunity." Owen said with a reluctant face.

"But...... The orcs ......" Gusin still looked a little hesitant.

"If the orcs really unite with the humans, then we can retreat, we can't just hold on like this, once the army from the north arrives, we will all be doomed." Owen said.

"Well, you take some people to test it, and if those orcs do unite with the humans, then we will retreat to Tarummir."

Before dawn, the forces of the Church of the Damned finally took advantage of this darkest time to launch an attack on the town of Southsea.

This time, it was still the undead who rushed to the front, but unlike before, after losing the hindrance of the city wall, these undead could already rush directly to the broken city wall.

Fierce battles broke out in the darkness, and the battlefield was the ruined city walls, and Song Zheng still participated in the battle, this time he had prepared his crossbow early and shot at the attacking undead one by one.

As those undead were killed, Song Zheng was pleased to see that his experience on that attribute interface was constantly rising.

However, it is a pity that the experience of these undead is not high, and the skeletons with less strength even have only a few hundred experience points, which is only a little stronger than those beasts.

"Is it because these undead lack wisdom? It's not easy to level up like this......" Song Zheng frowned secretly, he didn't know the calculation method of the experience, but he guessed that the enemy's IQ should also be taken into account.

The only thing to be thankful for is that there are enough of these undead, which more than makes up for the lack of experience.

It's just that as the number of undead increases, so do the wounded and dead defenders.

The sky was twilight, and in the morning light, the mages of the Church of the Damned could be seen controlling a steady stream of undead soldiers of all kinds to Nanhai Town.

"Bridget, our losses are too great to consume with those undead, let's retreat." Looking at those hideous undead, Song Zheng also sighed.

This crumbling wall is not suitable for defending, and if it continues to be forcibly held here, I am afraid that the whole army will be destroyed.

"The duty of us knights is to defend the people of Lordaeron, and even if all of them die here, we will never retreat." Bridget shook her head and said with a resolute expression as she swung her long sword to slash the approaching undead.

Her physical exertion was so great that she sometimes had to rely on the knight's sword full of openings to support her even standing.

"Yes, true warriors will never run away, these damned undead want to enter South Sea Town unless they step over us."

The other warriors around her were similar to her, all of them were already in a state of physical exhaustion, but none of them were willing to take a half step back.
