Chapter 143: History That Has Gone Off the Rails
The Silver Hand can be said to be the most powerful knight order in the human kingdom at present, most of the paladins belong to this knight order, and the first paladins such as Dasuohan can also be said to be the most powerful group of people in the human kingdom at present.
Although Gusin looked down on the young prince of Arthas, he had an instinctive fear of these first paladins.
Owen, who had previously been the most fierce in battle, also showed a sense of retreat, as a warrior knew the power of the paladin better than anyone else.
"If these guys from South Sea Town are lucky, we'll go back to Talenmir for the time being." Gusin eventually gave the order to retreat.
However, Owen beside him was still a little hesitant: "If those paladins go south, we may not be able to hold the ...... of Talummir."
"It's okay, I'll send someone to Keldaron for help, we've done such a big move to the south, and we've attracted all of Lordaeron's elite troops, and our master will definitely reward us." Gusin looked proud.
The reason why he had desperately waged war in the Hillsbrad Hills was to alleviate his mistake in losing the crystal bottle, but now he finally had some gains, and the results should be no worse than the original plan to use the plague, and it is estimated that he will not be punished by his superiors again.
Of course, the price he paid for this was also huge, the most serious of which was that he himself was forced to transform into an undead in Dunhold.
Although his necromantic magic has been greatly improved since becoming an undead, allowing him to control a larger number of undead troops, it also makes it difficult for him to advance further.
"It would be great if the master could send reinforcements, and now the north should have already started to act, right?" Owen's eyes lit up after listening to Gusin's words.
If everything goes according to the original plan of the Church of the Damned, Lordaeron will soon be in complete chaos!
"Everything goes according to the master's plan, Lordaeron will soon be ours, and the next step will be all the human kingdoms in the south, and this world will eventually belong to our Church of the Damned!" Gu Xin said excitedly, he also had a fanatical belief in the power of his master.
"We are all willing to pledge allegiance to the Church of the Damned, and I can return to Dunhold to regroup a force." It was Edras Blackmore who spoke, and his words were full of flattery.
"Well, the previous battle is just the prelude to this great battle, and the next step is the real battle for our cursed church to take control of the entire world! Our next step is to delay and deplete Lordaeron's elite forces in Tarunmere as much as possible, preferably to take out all the paladins slowly. The red glow in Gu Xin's eyes has become more and more prosperous.
……
The retreat of the Cursed Church was so swift that the huge Nanhai Town was so quickly empty that Song Zheng and the others were a little incredulous that the battle would end so quickly.
However, they soon received news of the arrival of reinforcements from Lordaeron.
"It's Lordaeron's army that came, I didn't expect them to come so quickly, even faster than those mages in Dalaran." Song Zheng was a little surprised by this, and according to his estimates, he originally thought that it would take five or six days for Lordanlun's army to arrive.
After learning that the leader was the Prince of Alsace, Bridget and the others were very surprised and excited.
"His Highness Arthas personally led the army south?" After Song Zheng learned the news, the corners of his eyes couldn't help jumping.
Everything was as he expected, and Terenus had sent Arthas to come and grab military merits in order to prepare for his future succession to the throne.
However, in addition to joy, he was also a little uneasy in his heart.
If the previous events only changed the history of Warcraft slightly, now it is a very serious change in the course of the history of this world.
"I don't know if it's right or wrong for me to change the fate of Alsace...... Song Zheng himself is not sure what kind of impact this change will have in the future.
If he had made everything go the way it had been in Warcraft's history, he would have avoided many dangers because of his 'foreknowledge' of the future, and now that history has been changed, no one knows what the future will become, and it may even lead him to great danger.
But now that Alsace has gone south, it is impossible to make any changes.
By the time twilight fell, Arthas's army had arrived in the town of Southsea.
The troops that went south this time were more than 20,000 people, and they were Lordaeron's elite troops, most of which were cavalry, and there were also quite a few paladins.
Everyone welcomed Arthas with great excitement, almost as if he were a savior.
Looking at the scene of Alsace entering the city to welcome him, Song Zheng was in a trance.
"This scene is so familiar...... I don't know where Arthas will end, maybe he will step by step to the throne of Lordaeron, and eventually become a good human king......"
While Song Zheng was thinking wildly, Alsace, who was riding a horse, stopped in front of him.
"Mr. Konstantin...... Didn't expect to meet you here? How did you end up in Nanhai Town? ”
"Your Royal Highness...... I'm very sorry, due to the threat of the Church of the Damned, I used a disguised identity when I was in the royal capital of Dalaran and Lordaeron, my real name is Song Zheng, and I was mistaken by His Majesty for dying in Dunhold, and the main reason why I am in Nanhai Town is because I am worried about Bridget...... She also thought that I had died in battle, and she wanted to avenge me with a troop, but I was afraid that she would be in danger, so I left the royal capital overnight and went south. Song Zheng said apologetically.
Although Bridget next to her was dressed in a military uniform, after listening to Song Zheng's words, she couldn't help blushing and lowering her head, full of the appearance of a little daughter.
"Oh, Konstantin...... No, did Mr. Song Zheng already know about the conspiracy to curse the church? Arthas looked at Song Zheng with suspicion, as if to determine whether what he said was true or false.
"I do know something, I was attacked by the Church of the Damned when I was following Her Highness Gianna, but no one thought that they would dare to rebel openly." Song Zheng said with a smile, but he was full of slander in his heart, you must know that the undead natural disaster is not just plotting against Lordaeron, but the whole world.
Arthas frowned when he heard this: "Those guys are indeed daring, I got the news that they still occupy Tarunmir?" ”
"Yes, Tarummir was occupied by them more than ten days ago, and the people of the city ...... Almost no one escaped, and many of them were resurrected as undead by them before being controlled to attack the town of Nanhai. Mayor Mareb sighed.
Song Zheng couldn't help but shudder when he heard this, he had been wondering why there were so many corpses to transform into undead in the Undead Catastrophe, originally thought to be the victims of Dunhold, but now it seemed that Tarunmere had been slaughtered.
