Chapter 262: Catherine is captured
Catherine's combat power is very strong, except for some of the abilities of thieves, her frontal combat power is already equivalent to a warrior of about fifteen levels, and she is also a berserk warrior with dual weapons.
However, there are too many undead in front of him, and there are also a large number of necromancers, all of whom are undead who rushed to the rescue from Stratholme after using the 'Summoning Meteor', and many of them are powerful.
It would be nice if Catherine managed to escape in time, but if she mistakenly thought she was still on the dock and insisted on saving him, she would probably be caught by the necromancers...... After all, mages still have a strong restraint effect on warriors, especially when there are many other undead troops around.
Song Zheng was anxious, but he couldn't understand the words of those undead, even if he caught a few skeletons and ghouls to ask, nothing would come of it, and as for those necromancers who could communicate, it was not something he could catch.
"I hope she'll be fine...... Song Zheng became more and more worried, when he stayed away from the undead dock again, and then found a no-man's corner, and took out the raven badge that had swayed from Medivan.
Due to the fact that Medivan had caused the invasion of the orcs, his reputation was not good in Lordaeron, and he was even regarded by many as a sinner in the human kingdom, so Song Zheng had not used this badge much before.
Now if you want to quickly find Catherine around, transforming into a crow may be the best choice.
Song Zheng made some preparations first, collecting his clothes and weapons into the storage ring, and then activated the power contained in the badge.
With the sound of a crow's cry, Song Zheng had turned into a black crow.
This was his second metamorphosis, not as surprised as the first, and at the same time he became much more familiar with and controlled the new body, and after flapping his wings, he grabbed the two storage rings with his long claws, and then spread his wings and soared into the air.
The wind was howling, and the thrill of flying made him shiver, but the crow's speed was not bad, and he was soon flying around the still hot docks, trying to find Catherine's tracks.
However, to his disappointment, there was no sign of Catherine on the ground below except for various undead monsters, and he immediately turned to the direction of Stratholme.
This time he finally saw the figure of the girl with elven blood, who had been imprisoned by a necromancer with dark magic and was being taken to the city of Stratholme.
Song Zheng was suddenly shocked and angry in his heart, but there were a lot of undead below, in addition to thousands of ghouls, there were also many necromancers clustered around the mage, obviously that necromancer's status was quite high.
Song Zheng knew what his combat power was, if he was fighting alone, he should be able to kill the mage whose strength was far above him with his sneak attack and the magic immunity of the 'shadow cloak', but in the face of so many enemies, if he rashly attacked, the outcome would definitely be death.
Seeing that the undead below were already approaching the gate of Stratholme, Song Zheng could only helplessly follow Stratholme again.
"This cursed city...... It's the third time I've come, is it so close to this ghost place......" Song Zheng was entangled in his heart.
However, there were a large number of gargoyles in the sky above the city of Stratholme, and he was vulnerable to gargoyles in the form of a crow, and he was almost completely ineffective in his crow form, so he had to quickly swoop down and fly into the attic of a ruined city in the city.
After discovering that there was no trace of the undead in the attic, Song Zheng hurriedly restored his original appearance, and quickly turned on the stealth skill, and then took out the clothes from the storage ring in a panic and put them on again.
"This thing made by this guy is too immoral, and he has to wear it every time...... It would be nice if I had my own magic power at any time......" Song Zheng sneered in his heart, but his feet did not stop at all, and he immediately sneaked to continue to track down the undead who had just entered the city.
Due to the large number of mages in that group of undead, Song Zheng did not dare to get too close, so he could only follow from a distance.
Eventually, the undead came to rest under a tower...... It wasn't the usual psychic tower in the city, but a mage tower.
Judging from the shape of the mage tower, it should have existed before the fall of Stratholme, and it should have been built by the mages in the city, but it is not known if its original owner was the necromancer who captured Catherine in front of him.
Upon entering the mage tower, the dark confinement magic around Catherine's body was finally canceled, and the girl's emaciated body fell to the ground with a heavy blow, and then tried to struggle.
However, after a few attempts, Catherine collapsed on the floor with weakness, as if she had been seriously injured.
Song Zheng saw it from a distance, and he was worried in his heart, but he also breathed a sigh of relief...... As long as Catherine is alive, there is still hope for rescue.
After the surrounding undead gradually dispersed, Song Zheng was finally able to get close to the mage tower, and then cautiously entered it.
Mage Towers are generally the place where mages conduct their magic research, and they are also the most important place for mages to live, and these mage towers often have very strong defenses, and many can even be used as turrets.
Fortunately, Song Zheng's profession has a very good stealth effect, in addition to not leaving footprints on the ground, it seems that it can also avoid some magic traps on the ground.
It's just that Catherine is no longer on the first floor of the Mage Tower, and the traces on the ground should have been taken upstairs to the Mage Tower.
Song Zheng had to continue to venture forward, and when he came to the door on the second floor, he already heard the sound inside the door.
"Tell me who released the 'summoning meteor' magic, with the strength of your little girl, it is absolutely impossible to release such a powerful magic, are you a follower of that mage? Say it! A hoarse, stern voice came from inside the door, and it sounded like the mage was interrogating Catherine.
However, the mage obviously didn't think that the 'summoning meteor' was released using a magic scroll, but thought that a mage had attacked the dock, and it was naturally a legendary mage who could release the legendary magic of 'summoning meteors'.
Perhaps that's why the Undead Scourge has come to the docks with all the fanfare...... Mistaken for a legendary mage, these undead have appeared around Stratholme!
