Chapter 122: The South

The news of the orcs attacking Tarunmere caused a great shock in King Lordaeron, even though the orcs quickly retreated, but it seemed that since the orcs were able to successfully attack Tarunmere, they could also attack cities in the south of Lordaeron, such as Southsea Town.

It also shows that the entire Hillsbrad Hills is threatened by orcs at any moment!

This was something that the magnates of Lordaeron could not bear, after all, there were fields in the hills of Hillsbrad that had taken years to cultivate, and most of them belonged to the nobles of Lordaeron.

Therefore, the call for troops to completely exterminate the orcs has become higher and higher in the royal capital of Lordaeron.

Song Zheng didn't know if this had happened in the real history of Warcraft, but he had decided to return to the south the next day, and Bridget was currently taking a small force to avenge him, and it would be very dangerous to encounter a large army of these orcs.

"You're leaving the royal capital of Lordaeron? Aren't you going to save Lordanlun......" Cheng Yuan was a little surprised by Song Zheng's decision.

Song Zheng nodded and said, "Yes, but you have to save your friends first, and...... There is no conflict between the two, and I have just received word from Edras Blackmore that he will soon return to Dunhold and reorganize a new force to destroy the orcs. ”

"Edras Blackmore is returning to Dunhold?" Cheng Yuan showed surprise again when he heard this, he was as wary of Edras Blackmore as Song Zheng.

"Yes, the appearance of those orcs has helped him a lot, in fact, I have some suspicions that the orcs attack on Talenmir is probably a conspiracy secretly controlled by Edras Blackmore, with what I know about those orcs, they are not stupid enough to go to such a heavily guarded big city to grab food, if they are really short of food, they only need to attack a few large farms." Song Zheng said with a serious expression.

Cheng Yuan immediately nodded and agreed with Song Zheng's statement: "There is indeed this possibility, seeing that the previous actions of the royal family of Luo Danlun were to want to surrender to him in secret, giving him a title but cutting off his military power, I can only be a leisurely marquis in the city, even I will find a way to leave the royal capital and reorganize my own army." ”

"Yes, I originally wanted to spend money to help Edras Blackmore get some money, so that he could have a chance to leave the royal capital of Lordaeron, but now he has found an opportunity on his own, and then I will try to encourage Edras Blackmore to further break away from Lordaeron, anyway, he has already colluded with the Church of the Damned, and then he can gradually force Arthas to go south according to the original plan, but all this must be done before the news of the undead scourge comes." Song Zheng said in a deep voice.

Once the Undead Scourge erupts, many things will become irreparable, so even if he is now of a low level, he will have to take the risk of making some preparations.

"Okay, what about Lordaeron's side?" Cheng Yuan spread his hands helplessly.

"Of course it's up to you here, I'll keep those gold coins and supplies, you try to improve your official position as soon as possible, if you can become a marshal like Gallishers when the big war breaks out, it would be great, even if Lordaeron falls, we can raise a force to resist, maybe we can still occupy the mountain as the king." Song Zheng smiled and patted him on the shoulder.

Cheng Yuan could only show a wry smile when he heard this: "Then forget it, how can a marshal be so good, let me see if I can cross the rank of lieutenant as soon as possible." ”

"Well, if you can't do it, let's mix it up under Gallishers, that guy might be very crucial to Lordaeron as well, try to mix in an important position under him." Song Zheng pondered for a moment and then suggested.

"Okay, that guy is really good to me now, how much money did you stuff him?" Cheng Yuan asked with a smile.

"It's just more than 100,000 gold coins, that guy's appetite can't compare to Edras Blackmore, and he prefers to collect magical equipment, you can find a chance to give more of it." Song Zheng introduced him to something related to Garissus.

The two discussed, but also found that their own power was still too small after all, and they had to rely on other forces.

"Since warlocks can have their own organizations, I will also find an opportunity to find Naravenhod's Manor when I go south this time." Song Zheng said.

As a professional thief, you must find the base of the thieves, but a thief like Kingsley in Lordaeron is certainly not a real thief, and only Ravenhold Manor can be a powerful thief.

"Hmm...... It's a pity that the warriors don't seem to have any organization, and it's too unreliable to go to Valhalla now......" Cheng Yuan was quite depressed about this.

Song Zheng immediately smiled and said, "Don't think about Valhalla, anyway, you also want to change to a paladin, just go to the church to study." ”

"Don't say it, I really have this kind of thought, a warrior who can heal is stronger, and I will go to the Holy Light Church in a few days to have a look." Cheng Yuan said with a smile.

After arranging various things with Cheng Yuan, Song Zheng left the royal capital of Lordaeron and went south, but he did not follow Edras Blackmore south.

Edras Blackmore didn't know him, and no one in the Lordaeron capital knew his identity, but in the south, many people knew him, especially the syndicate thieves and the Church of the Damned, so he left the Lordaeron capital first.

This time, Song Zheng did not choose to take a boat again, but rode a horse along the eastern shore of Lake Lordamere directly to the Alterac Mountains.

Due to the effects of the war, and the emergence of syndicate thieves in the Alterac Mountains in recent years, although the eastern shore of Lake Lordammere is a land transport artery connecting Dalaran and Lordaeron, it has become increasingly sparsely populated, and more and more people are choosing to travel to Lordaeron by water.

At the same time, in order to avoid being recognized, he also gave up his original luxurious local tyrant costume and changed into an ordinary hunter's costume again, but he still wore the velociraptor leather armor with amazing defensive power under his clothes, and also made some disguises for himself...... With a large beard on his face, he looked rugged, almost like the hunters in the mountains who spent their days dealing with wild beasts.

"Finally here again, I hope Bridget and the others don't encounter the orc forces." Looking at the towering snow-capped mountains in the distance, Song Zheng prayed silently in his heart, and at the same time rode his horse again to speed up.

Beside him was a frail Catherine, who probably rarely rode a horse, and at the moment looked rather nervous, and kept her mouth pursed.

Although Agatha said that Catherine was a gifted warrior, Song Zheng equipped her with a short sword and a dagger for her convenience.

Behind them, a small white figure followed, it was none other than the little frostwolf renamed Silver Bottle by Talesha, who had been locked up in the house to avoid being recognized during Lordaeron, and had taken him out by the way.

As it approached the Alterac Mountains, the puppy-like frostwolf cub became very excited, and it seemed to be running faster than a horse, and it could look around at the scenery as it ran.
