Chapter 167: Cloak of Shadows

The resting crowd struggled to their feet at the behest of Joseph Redpass, and then used their last strength to throw the corpses of the undead carrying the plague down the city, and then the men went out of the city to burn them.

The whole process was very familiar, and it was clear that this was not the first time that the previous defenders had done so.

Song Zheng was also directing his adventurers to follow the example of those veterans in disposing of the corpses of the undead.

Many of these adventurers experienced such a fierce battle for the first time, and even felt like they were separated from each other after the battle.

"If those undead continue to attack, we will die of exhaustion here, if not killed." Someone said very happily.

"Yes, thankfully the undead are gone...... No, the undead shouldn't feel tired, as long as they don't die, they can continue to attack......" Song Zheng's face suddenly flashed with doubt.

Those undead don't know the pain and fear at all, and naturally they don't feel tired, and he has been paying attention to the situation of the undead army under the city before, although he lost a lot of undead troops in the siege battle, but there are at least 100,000 undead left, and they can continue to attack!

"Damn, those undead can't deliberately fight a war of attrition here......" Song Zheng had a very bad guess in his heart.

Since the current situation is different from the history of Warcraft, without the fall of Arthas and the killing of his father, the undead scourge needs to completely defeat Lordaeron's forces if it wants to occupy the whole of Lordaeron.

Although the Undead Scourge has the power to defeat Lordaeron, it is difficult to succeed quickly, and it will suffer great losses when forcibly attacking cities around Lordaeron.

As things stand, it seems that the Undead Scourge does not want to force a siege on large cities like the capital of Andorhar and Lordaeron, but rather wants to wipe out Lordaeron's army on the periphery as much as possible.

Therefore, it deliberately chose to besiege Talon County, and then lured troops from other parts of Lordaeron to come to their aid.

"These guys are really cunning, no wonder they haven't attacked the more important Andorhar for so long, and they haven't even crossed the Sodoril River, it seems that they are trying to encircle and send reinforcements to try to eliminate Lordaeron's living forces." Song Zheng immediately felt extremely annoyed in his heart, because now he can be said to have fallen into the scheme of the undead natural disaster, and he traveled thousands of miles to support Dalong County, and then was besieged here, and even fell into this place with tens of thousands of adventurers.

However, although he guessed this, he did not dare to tell the others about it, so as not to plunge everyone into a greater panic...... If you know that the Undead Scourge is deliberately trying to consume the living power of human beings here, then I'm afraid no one wants to hold on any longer.

And once a unit loses morale, it is not far from complete collapse.

"I don't know how many troops the Undead Scourge has gathered now...... Have the Dreadlords come to Lordaeron......"

What Song Zheng is really afraid of in his heart is those Dread Demon Kings, in this kind of large-scale siege battle, there is still a chance to break through, especially there are many Paladin powerhouses in the human army, and most of the undead troops are low-level skeletons, but if those Dread Demon Kings come on the field in person, the situation is completely different.

"When the time comes, you won't have to use Medivan's badge to escape......" Song Zheng couldn't help touching the raven badge that had been hidden in his arms.

As a last resort, he could turn into a crow and fly out of the encirclement, but he had to give up everything else he had because he couldn't carry anything.

While he was struggling with his boredom, Gianna had already walked over to him with Harrison and other guards.

Although Gianna's magical talent is excellent, she is still only a young mage of about level ten after all, and last night's fierce battle has almost exhausted all her magic power, and her beautiful face looks very tired and haggard at this moment, and even her hair has lost its luster.

"You weren't hurt last night, were you?" After seeing Song Zheng, Gianna asked with great concern.

"No, all this blood on my body belongs to someone else." Song Zheng said with a wry smile, although he also participated in the battle last night, but most of the time he threw stones down the city, and later the battle near the city gate was also protected by Catherine and others, and he did not encounter any substantial danger.

"That's good...... What about the losses of the adventurers in this battle? Gianna asked in a low voice.

"Their losses are probably very large, almost all of the more than 1,000 people around me have been injured, and they can only survive with the treatment of the priest, but there are still nearly 300 people who have died, and the other scattered adventurers are probably more casualties." Speaking of this, Song Zheng's heart was extremely sad and guilty.

Most of these adventurers were instigated by him, and now those people not only did not get a penny, but even stayed here for their lives.

"Let the adventurers be careful in the next battle and save their lives as much as possible, I suspect that the undead may have deliberately besieged this city in order to wear down our forces." Gianna's voice was almost inaudible, and only Song Zheng, who was standing beside her, could hear it.

Song Zheng's brows jumped, it seemed that he was not the only one who saw this, and with Gianna's wisdom, he also sensed the abnormality of the undead natural disaster.

However, despite noticing this, he did not have a good solution, and Gianna probably had no good solution, so he could only quietly come to remind him.

"I'm going back to meditate in order to recover my magic as soon as possible, what I just said is just my guess, don't go around preaching it, so as not to cause panic." Gianna admonished.

"I know." Song Zheng showed a wry smile.

However, when Gianna left, he took the time to check his attribute interface, only to find that after a night of fierce fighting, he had upgraded again.

His gaze immediately turned to the location of the skill slot, where a new skill had already appeared.

"Cloak of Shadows?!" Song Zheng just glanced at the name of the new skill, and his eyes couldn't help but light up.

This is definitely one of the most useful abilities for the Rogues, as it removes negative stats and is immune to magic damage for a short period of time.

Although this skill is not as strong as the Paladin's Holy Shield Technique, it does not have as many restrictions as the Holy Shield Technique.

For physical attacks, Song Zheng can already use 'dodge' to deal with them, and after having this 'shadow cloak' skill, he finally has a life-saving ability to face mages, and if used properly, he can even be used to carry out surprise sneak attacks on mages.
