Chapter 231: The Deteriorating Battle Situation

Although Song Zheng also predicted that Garissus might fail, he didn't expect it to happen so soon, after all, the information he got from Cheng Yuan was that Garissus had nearly 100,000 troops under him!

That would probably be the last reinforcement that the Lordaeron royal capital could send.

It had only been a few days since he went to Dalaran, and he was about to take Ronin to help Garissus in order to reduce his chances of defeat, but he didn't expect that Garissus had already been defeated halfway through......

Perhaps it was because of the defeat of Garissus that the nobles of Lordaeron hastily abandoned their fertile lands and fled to the south.

Song Zheng was sure that the king of Lordanlun at this moment must have already become a mess.

"How could that guy be defeated so quickly, that's an army of 100,000." Song Zheng was already frowning, and the rapid defeat of Garissus had made his original plan completely impossible to implement.

"It is said that he was accidentally ambushed by the undead natural scourge, which led to the rout of the whole army." The young officer of Lordanlun's unit, who greeted Song Zheng and the others, smiled bitterly.

"I accidentally fell into an ambush ......" The corners of Song Zheng's mouth twitched slightly, most of the defeats in ancient and modern China and abroad are almost due to this reason, but there are always generals who are hit.

"It is said that they were accidentally ambushed, but according to the fact that the man who fled back was the marshal who was too light on the enemy, after successively defeating a small group of undead troops, the army rushed forward, and as a result, it plunged headlong into the encirclement of the undead, and the 100,000-strong army suffered nearly ......half of the casualties," said the young officer from Lordaeron, in a low voice.

Song Zheng couldn't help but be speechless when he heard this.

In this era of cold weapons, if a force suffers one-fifth casualties, it will begin to rout, and Gariss's troops have suffered so many casualties that they are afraid that they will have already been completely defeated, unless it is a paladin-dominated force like the Silver Hand, which can hold out even if it is a bloody battle to the last man.

"And where is Marshal Garissus now?" Song Zheng asked.

"It's not very clear, but we should try to gather the troops in the east, and it is said that a barrier will be built in the pass to the east to prevent the undead from continuing to advance west."

"Build a wall? Wouldn't that be able to continue to support Andorhar? Song Zheng couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this.

"Well, the current situation is definitely no longer able to support Andorhar, and those people in the royal capital can no longer take care of Andorhar, I heard that several marquis are already persuading His Majesty to let His Royal Highness the prince lead the army to break through in order to return to the royal capital." The voice of the officer of Lordanren was getting lower and lower.

Song Zheng couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.

It seems that those nobles of Lordaeron are ready to abandon Andorhar in order to protect themselves, and if it weren't for the fact that the Prince of Arthas is still defending the city in Andorhar at this moment, it is estimated that he would have already ignored the life and death of the hundreds of thousands of residents of Andorhar.

"Andohar must not give up, that is hundreds of thousands of people, if they are all transformed into undead, I am afraid that no one in the Eastern Kingdom will be able to stop the undead natural disaster!" Song Zheng said immediately.

From the beginning of the tragedy of Stratholme to the present, the Scourge of the Dead has snowballed rapidly, and if it were to occupy Andorhar, the second largest city in Lordaeron, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Your Majesty is also hesitant now, and it is estimated that he is looking forward to reinforcements from other human kingdoms." The young officer whispered.

Only then did Song Zheng understand why his group was so valued...... Because they are reinforcements from Dalaran, even if they are not numerous, but this also shows Dalaran's attitude.

"Are there any reinforcements sent from Gilneth and Fort Riptide?" Song Zheng asked curiously.

It's been a while since the Scourge of the Dead, and Gilneth is not far from Lordaeron, so he must have received the news about it, and Fort Riptide is a lot farther away, and it will take several months to reach Andorhar.

On the other hand, Stormwind didn't need to ask at all, it was too far away to even rush to the rescue of Lordaeron in the history of Warcraft.

"How could Gilneth come and help us...... Those guys just hide behind that high wall, and I heard they've been raising it lately. ”

Song Zheng nodded slightly, Gilneth is indeed unreliable at the moment, those guys will only stare at the little interests in front of them, among the several kings of the human kingdom, the real courage is Tyrenus and Varian, but unfortunately Terrenus is old, and Varian is thousands of miles away.

In addition, Kul Tiras could have provided a lot of assistance, but Gianna's father, Daylin Prodmoor, seems to have gone to sea last time to find the legendary continent, and he doesn't know when he will return.

"Fortunately, you are here, and with Dalaran's support, Your Majesty and those nobles should feel much more at ease." The young officer had a smile on his face, and it was obvious that the arrival of Song Zheng and the others had given many people hope.

"Well, Dalaran will definitely fully support Lordaeron, we are only a vanguard force, and there will be more troops and mages coming later." Song Zheng nodded, and did not explain that the mages and nobles in Dalaran were still fighting, and they didn't know when they would be able to really send troops.

It didn't take long for many people to hurry to visit Song Zheng and others, this time mainly some of the big nobles of Lordanlun, and then even the royal family sent people.

Song Zheng and Luo Ning couldn't help but be speechless for a while, they didn't expect the situation to turn out like this before, and the defeat of Garissus seemed to make their status much higher in an instant.

"I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing......" Song Zheng smiled bitterly and looked at the piles of gold coins and various materials in front of him, which were all sent by the royal family of Lordaeron and those nobles, and there were more than 200,000 gold coins alone.

"Who knows, but what to do next, whether we will go east to join Garethus as planned, or turn to the royal capital of Lordaeron, I heard from the royal emissary just now that His Majesty Terenus seems to want to see us." Luo Ning is also quite entangled at the moment, his combat experience is not bad, but his political experience is still a mess.

"Let the troops stay on Brill's side first, and we will take some men to ride to the royal capital, and we must persuade His Majesty Terenus to persist in resisting the undead scourge, and we must not give up on Andorhar easily." Song Zheng hesitated for a moment and then said.

The current situation is very bad, but compared to the fate of Lordaeron in the history of Warcraft, it is still acceptable, after all, Lordaeron still has some resistance forces, and Sylvanas has probably persuaded the High Elves to send troops to help Lordaeron, as long as the undead disaster can be delayed, there is hope for humanity.
