Chapter 240: Hellfire
Perhaps seeing a glimmer of hope again, the decadent Gather cheered up a lot, and even called a meeting of his officers, and finally learned how many people were around him at present...... Counting the wounded soldiers, more than 17,000 people have gathered in this camp!
If you add the team brought by Song Zheng and Luo Ning, it has reached 30,000 people, which can be regarded as a relatively large team.
However, no one dares to engage in a head-to-head battle with the Undead Scourge now, and can only hope to consume the strength of the Undead Scourge through guerrilla warfare, and by the way, also rebuild their own confidence.
After deliberation, five detachments of about 3,000 men each were sent to the outskirts of Andorhar to fight guerrilla warfare, while the rest continued to care for the wounded and build forts in the valley.
Song Zheng originally wanted to follow Luo Ning in order to gain some experience, but considering that the warlocks had difficulty getting along with the mages, the two finally separated their troops.
Song Zheng led those warlocks.
These guys shrouded in black robes are indeed unruly.
There were even people who dared to secretly release dark magic and curses at Song Zheng.
Fortunately, as a thief, Song Zheng has a strong sense of danger, and uses the ability of the shadow cloak in advance to resist those dark magics invisibly.
"Miss Agatha, please restrain your men, and ask them not to waste their limited mana on this path, and that the enemy will let them consume it." Song Zheng said to Agatha with some complaints.
"Someone wasting magic? Okay, I'm going to teach them a lesson. Agatha, under the black velvet cloak, smiled charmingly.
However, Song Zheng didn't believe her words very much, since those warlocks dared to secretly attack him, they must have Agatha's acquiescence.
As Ronin had reminded, these Warlocks were hard to believe, even if they were currently willing to fight to defend Lordaeron.
Perhaps it was because they found that all kinds of dark magic and curses applied to Song Zheng's body had no effect, and those warlocks who made a move finally realized that something was wrong, and they also restrained a lot.
The dozen or so Shadow Priests remained silent the whole time, looking even more silent and mysterious than the Warlocks.
After walking out for nearly half a day, traces of the undead natural disaster had already appeared in the jungles that had begun to wither in front of them...... They are getting closer and closer to the core of Lordaeron.
However, all that roams these jungles are a few lonely skeletons, and a few wandering ghouls can occasionally be seen.
In the face of these skeletons and ghouls, the warlocks did not summon demons, but simply released some low-level fire magic.
Since Song Zheng was not familiar with the abilities of warlocks, he didn't know what kind of magic they used, after all, warlocks' attainments in fire magic were no worse than those of mages, and even surpassed them in some aspects.
And as the team continues to deepen, there are more and more undead monsters encountered along the way.
Those undead troops who lack organization are not difficult to deal with, especially the strength of the warlocks is still quite strong, and many times Song Zheng has not had time to replenish the sword, and those skeletons and ghouls have been dealt with.
Many warlocks in the team have even begun to proudly show off, believing that the strength of the Undead Scourge has been exaggerated too much.
"The so-called undead disaster is nothing more than that, we have killed at least thousands of undead along the way, if we summon demons to come to help, we will definitely be able to destroy all the undead in one fell swoop!" After a while, several powerful warlocks began to shout proudly, even proclaiming that they would single-handedly expel all the undead and save Lordaeron.
"It's just a few sporadic undead, not even a scourge of the undead." Song Zheng shook his head a little speechlessly.
Some of the warlocks immediately laughed, "It's because you haven't passed the soul ritual, you haven't seen the true power of our warlocks, and our power is not comparable to those junk mages." ”
Song Zheng didn't bother to argue with these guys, as long as they saw the true strength of the Undead Catastrophe, they would naturally feel ashamed of their shallowness at the moment.
In fact, this easy and smooth battle did not last long, and as it continued to move eastward, the surrounding undead forces became much stronger.
Especially in the face of a large number of fanatical and swift ghouls, the warlocks have had to summon their demons to help.
Those flame imps and succubi can provide very good combat support, and even double the warlock's combat power, making the warlocks even more proud.
Compared to mages, with the assistance and protection of demons, the actual combat ability of warlocks is indeed much stronger.
However, in Song Zheng's opinion, mages have great wealth and lofty status, and they are surrounded by a large number of followers, including powerful knights, so in such large-scale battles, mages are actually not weaker than warlocks.
The sorcerers' pride didn't last long, and when a majestic wall began to appear in the distant sky, the team stopped on a hill, and the sorcerers, who had been complacent, were completely speechless when they saw the dense army of undead below.
"This ...... That's too much, isn't it? ”
This hill is at least twenty miles away from the walls of Andorhar, and the area in between is almost entirely full of all kinds of undead, and the whole world is overshadowed by it!
The warlock who had been shouting to save the world just now had completely shut his mouth, especially after seeing those unusually tall abominations, no one dared to say that the undead were too weak.
"With so many undead, it's impossible to kill them all." Agatha, shrouded in black robes, also showed anxiety, she knew more information than the others, but she had been staying in the royal capital of Lordaeron before, and she still did not expect the real scene to be so terrifying.
"Take your time...... Let's destroy those undead troops on the periphery first, and the small amount will always cause some weakening to the undead scourge. Song Zheng smiled slightly, he had passed through the camp of the army of the undead several times, but he was no longer surprised and shocked by this.
"Maybe we can summon a few powerful Doom Guards, and with the strength of the Doom Guards, we can definitely destroy a large number of undead, and maybe we can kill all the way to the city of Andorhar." Someone said.
However, his words were quickly opposed by others.
"Summoning the Doomward is a cumbersome ritual, and it can kill a spellcaster each time, and in the face of this sea of the dead, the Doomward may not be as effective as Hellfire."
"But Hellfire requires the consumption of Hellfire ......"
"That's better than costing your own life, can you be sure that it wasn't you who died during the summoning ceremony?" Someone scoffed.
"Is Hellfire powerful?" Song Zheng asked curiously, the power of hellfire in the game can only be regarded as average, I don't know what it will become in this real world.
