Chapter 284: On the Mountain
"This monastery was formerly run by His Highness Arthas himself?" Song Zheng couldn't help but show surprise when he heard this.
"Yes, this place is known as the cradle of paladins, and His Royal Highness has always attached great importance to it."
"Oh, I see." Song Zheng nodded slightly, it seems that Alsace pays attention to talent training.
In fact, throughout the history of Warcraft, Arthas has always been very good before the Fall.
Of course...... He also performed very well after the Fall, being able to endure humiliation and take out the scheming Naozu with a backhand at a critical moment, and he became a real Lich King himself.
Unfortunately, the crimes he committed when he was controlled were so great that he could not turn back, so he could only continue to stay on the frozen throne.
However, it is certain that Arthas, after becoming the Lich King, did not launch any major invasion of the human kingdom, but only sent the floating city of Naxxramas to garrison the Plaguelands, and was later beaten back by the Alliance and the army.
"I'd like to go up the hill to see what the monastery is like, and if there's enough garrison inside, we might be able to cooperate with them." Song Zheng said.
"Lord Baron, you want to sneak in? Wouldn't it be too dangerous, there are too many undead in front. Agatha frowned.
Song Zheng immediately smiled and said, "It's okay, there are more undead on Andorhar's side, and I don't come and go at will." ”
"Oh...... Well, I'm also very interested in the Baron's stealth skills, and it is said that even Catherine's stealth skills are far inferior to yours. Agatha said and looked at Song Zheng meaningfully, as if she wanted to see through his heart.
"Hehe, I'm just learning about that stealth technique in battle, it's nothing, but there are indeed a lot of enemies in front of me, you can summon a few demons to sneak up on it, so as to help me attract the attention of those undead." Song Zheng hurriedly smiled and diverted the topic, Agatha was too shrewd, she was not good at lying to her, it was better not to say it directly.
"Okay, I'll arrange for it, we'll attack from the west, and the Baron can try to go up the mountain from other directions, and if it's difficult, you can retreat, and you don't have to force it." Agatha said with a smile.
"I know, I'm the one who is most afraid of death." As he spoke, Song Zheng began to ride his horse away from the ranks of the warlocks and approached the army of the undead in front of him alone.
When the distance was only more than 1,000 meters, he dismounted and started stealing.
Recently, his level has increased a lot, and his own strength has also increased a lot, which has also caused him to be a lot more courageous.
There was already some commotion to the west, and it looked like the Warlock attacks had already begun, but a small number of demons could at best serve as a diversion, and not many undead could be eliminated.
Song Zheng soon passed through the undead on the periphery and began to approach the foot of the mountain, but the density of the undead around him was also increasing, so that he had to be extra careful so that he would not accidentally bump into the undead around him.
"That's a bit of a lot, are you ready to attack right away?" Looking at the undead troops around him, Song Zheng was a little worried in his heart.
But before he could completely pass through the camp of the undead, the surrounding undead had already moved, and they began to rush towards the monastery on the mountain!
"This ...... It couldn't be the warlocks' attacks that angered the undead, right? Song Zheng secretly screamed in his heart.
He is in the midst of a horde of undead at the moment, and if he is not careful, he will be hit by those charging undead!
In desperation, he had to follow these undead troops and start charging towards the mountain, and he had to keep an eye on the situation around him at all times so as not to touch the undead around him.
Fortunately, he soon encountered two burly abominations, whose huge size could easily knock away the skeletons and ghouls that stood in front of him, and Song Zheng was able to follow the abomination up the hill with relative ease.
However, when he came to the vicinity of the monastery with the undead troops, he realized that there had actually been a battle here.
The ground was already full of traces of battle, but the corpses had been resurrected by the undead scourge, and only a few charred trees and the suffocating smell of blood showed that this place had just experienced a brutal battle.
"It seems that it's still a little late......" Song Zheng looked at the monastery not far away with some concern.
Although the scale of the monastery was not small, and it had high walls, it could not be compared to the tall and strong walls of cities such as Andorhar, many places had collapsed, and at this moment, it was vaguely possible to see many human troops preparing to defend with flesh and blood behind those broken masonry.
As the undead attacked again, the Abbey's counterattack soon began, with a large number of arrows fired at them, as well as the Judgment Hammer unleashed by the Paladins.
However, it is a pity that there are no mages in this monastery, and the damage caused by those arrows to the undead is actually very small.
The Undead Scourge was soon back in front of the Abbey's walls, skeletons and ghouls rushing madly through the previously collapsed gaps, and the Abominations went on a rampage with no heedience, knocking down large sections of the walls.
The human forces stationed here had to fight the undead in hand-to-hand combat with their own strength.
Song Zheng's heart began to sink as well.
The Scourge of the Dead's favorite is probably hand-to-hand combat, and its main force is a melee class, whether it is a skeleton, a ghoul, or an abomination.
In the past, Andohar and Talon County were able to hold out for so long, relying on strong walls, relying on long-range attacks to consume the power of the undead Scourge, and once the undead army attacked the city, it was the end of the world.
Even though the city of Andohar had a large number of troops, and there were elite troops like the Silver Hand, when the undead scourge entered the city, they still had to desperately burn the entire southern part of the city to retreat from the enemy.
Even if there were some paladins in this monastery now, it would definitely not be able to compare with the strength of the Silver Hand.
Screams began to rise and fall on the battlefield, and if it weren't for the constant light of the Holy Light in the rear, I am afraid that those human soldiers would not even be able to withstand the first wave of attacks from the undead.
However, the Light is not omnipotent, and has no effect on some fatal or maiming injuries, so human warriors continue to fall and even flee.
The undead soon had invaded the monastery, and the human forces had to abandon the outer walls and begin to retreat towards the buildings inside.
