Chapter 149: Target Andohar
As night fell, human forces settled on a hillside not far from Tarummere.
Due to the two failed attacks, the atmosphere in the camp was rather dreary and oppressive, especially during the daytime battle, when many horses were killed in the city of Talenmere, which was a great blow to the knights who had been with their horses for a long time.
Alsace and Mograini and other high-level officials are meeting to study the next move, but judging by the duration of the meeting, I am afraid that they have not worked out any good strategies.
Song Zheng has no position in the army, so he can rest on the side at this time.
Catherine had fallen asleep leaning against a pile of armor beside him, apparently draining her from the day's fighting.
Although she has elven blood in her body, her physical strength is far stronger than that of ordinary humans, but after all, she is still young, and the warrior profession is not suitable for long-term continuous combat without treatment.
"I don't know what the strength of the High Elves warriors is in this real world?" Because of her special identity, Song Zheng suddenly thought of Silver Moon City.
In the game of Warcraft, the power of those high elves does not seem to be much stronger than that of humans, but in this real world, the lifespan of elves for thousands of years is completely incomparable to that of humans, so even if the high elves of Silvermoon City live a luxurious life all day long, the strength and knowledge accumulated in their long life must still be far above that of humans.
It's just that I don't know if Silvermoon City will be breached like it was in the history of Warcraft when the undead natural disasters are ravaging in the future.
In the middle of the night, Arthas and the others finally made a decision, but the final decision was to take a safe route.
"We can first recover the territory around Talunmere, and then gradually clean up the undead in Talunmere City, which is estimated to take more than a month." Mograini introduced to Song Zheng and others who had followed the battle from Nanhai Town as the commander.
"More than a month...... If we save a little, we should be able to barely supply the materials we find from the surrounding farms, but if it takes a little longer, I am afraid it will be difficult to ensure it. Sheriff Redpass nodded slightly, he was familiar with the situation in the area.
"That's enough time, as long as our knights can charge smoothly, those undead are definitely no match for us." Mograini said.
On the second day, a large number of knights were sent out to clear the small villages around Tarummere.
Most of those villages were also slaughtered by the Church of the Damned, but due to their wild location, there were some survivors who escaped.
The knights are very strong in the wild, and they can indeed easily deal with the small number of undead.
However, in the face of this protracted battle that has reached a stalemate, Song Zheng has no intention of continuing to stay here...... Since even Tarunmere and Southsea Town can fight like this, then the northern part of Lordaeron doesn't know what the chaos is like at the moment, but Gianna is still going to Andohal now!
"I heard that there are also a large number of believers of the Cursed Church in the north, even more serious than this side of Nanhai Town, I don't know what the situation is in the north now?" Song Zheng tentatively asked Mograini and the others about the situation in other parts of Lordaeron.
"I don't know exactly what is going on in the rest of the North, but after receiving the news of the rebellion of the Church of the Damned, His Majesty has ordered the immediate banning of all believers of the Church of the Damned in the kingdom." Mograini said.
"Oh......" Song Zheng nodded, but he knew the power of the Cursed Church and didn't believe that the Cursed Church would really be banned.
What's more, since the Church of the Damned has dared to openly attack Talenmir and South Sea Town, it is estimated that it has already quietly started to act in the north, and it may even be more violent than the plague in the history of Warcraft.
"At present, the fighting in the south cannot be resolved for a while, I want to go to the north to see, since the Cursed Church dares to rebel in the south, maybe they have already taken action in the north, and I heard that Gianna has gone to Andohar, I am afraid that she will be in danger." Song Zheng said with some hesitation.
"Her Highness Gianna...... She went to Andorhar? Mograini was a little surprised when he heard this, and couldn't help but turn his head to look at a figure in the distance, it was Arthas.
"Yes, I heard from those mages in Dalaran before that there seems to be an epidemic of plague in Andorhar, and it should be related to the Church of the Damned, so Dalaran has recently sent a lot of mages to investigate things related to the plague."
"Plague...... Those believers in the Cursed Church really deserve to die, they don't take the lives of civilians seriously at all, and they are even more brutal than the original orcs! Mograini said resentfully.
Song Zheng sighed and nodded slightly, the paladin general in front of him didn't know that his future would be closely combined with the undead natural disaster, and even become one of the four knights of the apocalypse.
To Song Zheng's surprise, when he was about to leave the camp with his people, Arthas came to find him alone.
"If you meet Gianna in Andorhar...... Please say sorry to her on my behalf. Arthas's face hesitated, and he hesitated for a moment before he said apologetically.
"Okay." Song Zheng nodded, he had always been incomprehensible about the relationship between Arthas and Gianna.
Arthas must still care about Gianna in his heart, otherwise in the history of Warcraft, when Gianna followed Uther outside Stratholme, Arthas would not have been so sad.
As for Gianna, she must still be in love with Arthas, who she had kept before.
However, the historical process of this world has changed a lot under the interference of his own intentional or unintentional interference, and no one knows what the future of Arthas and Gianna will be, and it is not certain that the prince and princess will live together sweetly from now on.
Song Zheng soon left the camp and headed north, followed by those from his own guild.
However, looking at the dozens of figures behind him, he couldn't help but feel sad, he had recruited nearly a thousand people in Nanhai Town, and it was so bustling in front of him, but after experiencing the battle between Nanhai Town and Talenmir, there were less than 100 people who survived.
"War is still too cruel after all......" Song Zheng sighed, in the case of not being able to resurrect, it is really not good to be an adventurer.
In the history of Warcraft, Azeroth has experienced successive apocalyptic crises such as the Undead Scourge, the Burning Legion, and the Deathwing, and it is indeed a miracle that humanity has not been extinct after one war after another.
The only thing he could do at the moment was to get some equipment from Lordaeron's army for these people in his guild to increase their survivability, and as a result, they now looked like a regular army of Lordaeron.
"My lord, the road ahead is narrow after all, and this is still the area of activity for syndicate thieves, so we must be careful to pass through." It was Carl who came to inform Song Zheng, he was originally the knight of Gianna's bodyguard, and after hearing that Gianna might be in danger, he immediately volunteered to follow Song Zheng north to Andohar.
It's just that compared with the first time they met, now Song Zheng has been knighted, and his status is already above Carl.
