Chapter 283: Under the Mountain

Due to the separation of some warlocks to go to the royal capital of Lordaeron and to Dalaran to spread rumors, at this moment there were less than 800 warlocks behind Song Zheng, and it seemed that they were just a small cavalry team, but they were riding the formidable hell horses.

This also made Song Zheng secretly glad that he had learned to summon the Dreaded War Horse in time, otherwise it would have been difficult for him to keep up with these warlocks.

"It's a pity that the shaman thieves don't have the skill to summon mounts, otherwise they can switch to rides." Song Zheng secretly thought in his heart, but the transformation of the ghost wolf of the shaman profession is also quite good, but I don't know how effective it is in this real world, if it has a stealth effect, it will be perfect.

On the second day, everyone finally caught up with the pace of the undead scourge, and began to find some lonely undead, but most of them were some skeletons with mutilated bodies and slow speed, and even if they were killed, they would not have much experience.

Just looking at the destroyed villages and farmlands along the way, everyone's hearts are extremely melancholy.

After this battle, even if the undead scourge is defeated, I am afraid that Lordaeron's power will be greatly affected, and he will fall from the most powerful human kingdom to the end.

However, in Song Zheng's opinion, this should be regarded as a very good ending, after all, in the history of Warcraft, Luo Danlun was completely destroyed, and most of the well-known characters in it also ended tragically.

Even in the end, King Lordaeron was overrun by the undead and turned into the Undercity.

Along the way, everyone cleaned up the undead who were left behind, and after two days, they encountered more and more enemies, but in terms of strength, most of them were still skeletons and ghouls, and most of them were newly summoned dead.

"Those undead are pretty fast, we can't catch up with their main force when we run so fast." Song Zheng was a little depressed in his heart.

Along the way, they had killed nearly 10,000 undead, and it was estimated that the number of civilians killed by the undead natural disaster was at least ten times more.

"How many people does Lordaeron have?" Song Zheng asked Agatha with some curiosity.

"This ...... I don't know, I'm afraid even His Majesty the King doesn't know about it. Agatha replied with some embarrassment.

"You've never counted the population?" Song Zheng couldn't help but be a little speechless about this.

"How do you count this? The kingdom is so big and expanding every day, of course...... The most important thing is that no nobleman is willing to tell how many people he really has, and even if we count, it will be a false figure. Agatha said with some emotion.

"Noble ......" Song Zheng couldn't help but sigh slightly when he heard this, in this world, nobles do have strong strength, and they can even compete with the king.

Of course, the establishment and development of the kingdom also had a lot to do with these nobles and lords.

"Then the approximate population size should still be known, right?" Song Zheng asked again.

"This ...... It should be around five or six million. Agatha replied casually.

Song Zheng couldn't help but be speechless again, this data is too inaccurate, and it fluctuates by millions at every turn.

But if there are really so many, then the undead natural disaster will kill all the way, I'm afraid I can make up an army of three or four million undead!

This number is already difficult to defeat with humans, even with the addition of dwarves and gnomes, not to mention that the undead scourge can also send reinforcements from the north.

"The situation is not optimistic......" Song Zheng sighed secretly.

After another two days, more and more undead have been encountered, and even an organized undead force has appeared, which also means that everyone is finally about to catch up with the main force of the undead.

But Agatha's face was not very good-looking.

"What are you worried about? Are we afraid that we won't be able to defeat the main force of the Undead Scourge, we don't have to fight them head-on, we just need to keep following them and keep consuming them. Song Zheng asked.

"I'm not worried about us, even Stratholme has conquered, what are we afraid of, what I'm worried about is the monastery in front, it's not far from that monastery, I guess...... Now the main force of the Scourge of the Dead has begun to attack the monastery. Agatha sighed.

"The monastery ahead?" Song Zheng couldn't help but be stunned.

"Yes, there is a hilly area ahead, and the monastery is on the mountain, which we estimate is less than two hundred miles away." Agatha said.

"Then let's speed up, and we must not let the undead scourge take over the monastery." Song Zheng's heart tightened, even in the history of the Demon Beast, the Scarlet Monastery was not attacked by the undead natural disaster.

Agatha must have been familiar with this place, and what she said was exactly what she said, and after less than two hours of running, they had seen the large army of the Scourge of the Dead, and at the same time the monastery that was halfway up the mountainside.

The monastery was a large place, in addition to a tall church, and a large number of houses spread out around it, which was originally a place for priests to practice, and later after the rise of the Paladin, this monastery became a place for the training of paladins due to its location in the mountains and forests, surrounded by a large amount of open space, suitable for the army to be stationed, and later became a place for training new paladins.

However, the Undead Scourge also seems to be very familiar with this place, and it is an elite army sent with no less than 100,000 troops, and the number of undead summoned along the way has exceeded 200,000.

At this moment, a large area is densely besieged under the mountain, and there are a large number of abomination and elite ghouls, and even quite a few gargoyles and meat grinders.

"It seems that the Scourge of the Dead also knows that there are a large number of troops stationed in the monastery here." Song Zheng looked at the undead troops in the distance and said with emotion.

"Well, there are many people in the kingdom who secretly take refuge in the Cursed Church, and many of us in the Warlock Guild have been tempted in the first place." Agatha said lightly.

"Oh, and some of you are being co-opted by the Church of the Damned? So how do you deal with this temptation? Song Zheng asked curiously.

"Of course, kill all the people who took refuge in the Church of the Damned." Agatha said unconcernedly.

“……”

The warlocks are really unrestrained and direct enough.

However, in the face of so many undead troops at this moment, it is impossible to annihilate them all with only more than 800 of them, unless they can unite with Luo Ning's mage troops and summon a few more hellfires.

"I wonder which of the kingdom's generals is stationed here? If only we could get in touch, maybe we could find a way to wipe out this undead army here. Song Zheng carefully observed the battlefield in front of him, and then turned to Agatha and asked.

She is the Earl of Lordaeron, and she should be very familiar with the upper echelons of Lordaeron.

However, to his surprise, Agatha immediately shook her head and said: "Then it is not clear, this place was previously managed by His Royal Highness the Prince himself, and now that His Highness has gone to Andorhar, I don't know who is in charge of this side." ”
