Chapter 147: The City of Killing
Song Zheng knew a lot of people in Luo Ning's small building at the beginning, but most of those apprentices were from powerful families, and only Lena Imbas had a good relationship with him.
However, the current Lena Imbas has become a magic apprentice at most, and she really shouldn't go with the army.
"Could it be that Master Luo Ning is also here?" Thinking of this, Song Zheng couldn't help but get excited.
That guy Luo Ning is not only magically powerful, but also has very good actual combat ability, if he can come to the battle, it will definitely be of great help to the battle situation.
"No, Master Luo Ning has been busy with his research lately and didn't have time to come, but he recommended me to come over, saying that my magical talent is more suitable for the battlefield." Lena Imbas laughed.
"Ronin is busy doing research? It can't be that you're still studying what kind of food making technique......" Song Zheng was speechless about this, in this real world, magic bread is estimated to be unattainable.
However, in the Alterac Mountains before, the combat effectiveness shown by Lena Imbas was indeed more suitable for the battlefield, and Ronin should have seen this before letting her follow the army.
"Song Zheng, you are safe and sound, and you didn't even go to Dalaran to look for us, you don't know how sad we were after learning the news of your death in battle, even Her Royal Highness Gianna cried." Lena Imbas said with some disgust.
"Her Highness Gianna...... Is she okay now? Song Zheng felt a little guilty, he was worried about the believers of the Cursed Church lurking in Dalaran City, so he chose to hide his identity, and later when he was about to go to Gianna, he happened to meet Medivan again, so he gave up looking for Gianna.
"Her Royal Highness Gianna hasn't been very good lately, I didn't see her smile since I thought you died in battle, and recently there have been some troubles on Andorhar's side, so Her Highness Gianna went there to investigate the situation." Lena Imbas said.
"Gianna went to Andorhal?" When Song Zheng heard this, he immediately felt an inexplicable tremor all over his body.
Lena Imbas immediately nodded and said, "Yes, there is a very serious outbreak of plague over there, and there seems to be traces of necromancers, so Dalaran decided to send some people to investigate the situation, and Her Highness Gianna took the initiative to participate in the operation." ”
Song Zheng's heart was suddenly entangled.
"It's too bad to change the trajectory of Arthas's fate and ignore Gianna...... She won't be in danger on the side of Andorhar like she has been in the history of Warcraft......"
Since even this side of Nanhai Town has become so dangerous, then Andorhar's proximity to the Psychic Academy, the headquarters of the Church of the Damned, may be even more dangerous!
"I should have reminded Gianna if I knew about it." Song Zheng was very remorseful in his heart.
If he were to choose between Gianna and Arthas to save, he would definitely choose the former without hesitation.
Arthas's fate is a tragedy, but many of it is his own choice, especially since he finally became the Lich King, who already has the power to control his own destiny, but still chooses to use the undead scourge to conquer the world, which is not worthy of sympathy.
Due to the arrival of reinforcements from Dalaran, Arthas and the others immediately decided to attack Tarummir again.
In fact, there is no way to do this, the daily consumption of food by tens of thousands of troops is a very staggering amount, especially with a large number of war horses.
In contrast, the army of the undead has no logistical problems at all, and those ghouls devour almost everything, including all kinds of carrion.
The mage's destructive power on the battlefield is commensurate with his noble status, and with the support of a large number of mages, he soon blasted open the gates of Tarummere again, and even used a wide range of fire magic to clear the undead near the gates.
The so-called Sea of the Undead was completely vulnerable to the rain of fire and the blizzard.
However, this also made Song Zheng quite depressed, the mage's magic range was very long, even exceeding the attack range of the crossbow, in this case, it was difficult for him to mix up experience.
"What a waste, I don't know how much experience has been wasted...... Looking at the undead who fell in the sea of fire, Song Zheng's heart was dripping blood, although the experience of the undead is not high, but the number is enough.
When the knights charged again, Song Zheng also hurriedly followed, so as not to miss the opportunity to mix experience again.
However, as he rushed into the city of Talenmere with the knights, he immediately felt that something was wrong.
Even though the surrounding undead have been cleaned up, and there are only broken bones and rotten flesh on the ground, the city is still filled with a black fog, so that the eyesight is greatly affected, and it is even difficult to see more than ten meters away.
"My eyesight has been enhanced, if it were an ordinary person, wouldn't I only be able to see a few meters away?" Song Zheng was a little frightened, after all, he was too vulnerable to attack in this environment.
Mograini and the others were also battle-hardened people, and they immediately became vigilant in this fog, constantly arranging their knights to form various formations to meet the enemy.
As the people went deeper into the city, they soon saw a large number of corpses...... Those were the original inhabitants of the city, including a large number of nobles.
As a grain transit hub in the south of Lordaeron, Tarunmere is definitely a bustling metropolis, with hundreds of thousands of inhabitants at its peak, but now most of these inhabitants have apparently been slaughtered, and the corpses are scattered indiscriminately in the streets, many of them still looking panicked when they fled.
"Damn those who curse the church! Slaughter of unarmed civilians! Everyone was furious about this, and they were anxious to find the cultists of the Church of the Damned who had been hiding behind the scenes in the city.
Song Zheng rode his horse and walked on the street full of corpses, and he was also full of emotion in his heart.
When he first came to Tarummere, it was still a thriving place, and he was even made a knight lieutenant here, but now it is a living hell.
"I don't know if Stratholme in the history of Warcraft was also like this after being slaughtered...... Song Zheng suddenly thought of Stratholm in his heart, that cursed city was also the beginning of the fall of Lordaeron, but now it has been replaced by Talenmir.
However, he soon noticed something unusual...... From the time estimate, Talenmir should have been slaughtered after it was captured, at least half a month ago, but the corpses all over the ground did not appear to be too decomposed!
"Oops, this could be a trap, everyone be careful with the corpses on the ground!" Song Zheng immediately reminded everyone around him loudly.
However, before he could finish speaking, the corpses on the ground had changed...... The corpse, which had already been stiffened, began to crawl up slowly!
Song Zheng had already seen the scene of the resurrection of the undead when he followed Gianna to be attacked, but only a few hundred corpses were resurrected at that time, but now thousands of corpses have been resurrected around him!
