Chapter 35: The Defeat
Now that the undead scourge has been launched, the situation is irreparable.
In Song Zheng's view, the power of the Undead Scourge is far above Lordaeron, and the fall of Arthas is actually just the handy action of the Lich King, even without the fall of Arthas, the Undead Scourge can also destroy Lordaeron in the end, at most it will take a little more time.
Now that the other party has used the undead force, it must be inevitable...... Of course, this so-called must-win is probably to kill him!
Song Zheng was thinking about whether to tell Gianna about the undead natural disaster, which could play a role in some early warning and reminder.
However, it was difficult for him to come up with any conclusive evidence.
The necromancy alone does not prove that the Church of the Damned is trying to launch a plot to destroy the whole of Lordaeron, after all, necromancy has been studied for a long time, and it is because of this that Kel'thugad was banished by Dalaran.
"It's a pity that the bottle of green potion was also left in Nanhai Town, if it can be handed over to Gianna, maybe it can be used as a piece ......of evidence," Song Zheng sighed secretly.
Meanwhile, on the hidden hill in the distance, Gusin watched everything on the battlefield with a gloomy face.
The appearance of the undead army has indeed achieved miraculous results, but the number of undead is still too small after all, and the opponent has hundreds of well-trained knights, and also has mages as a backing, and the combat effectiveness has even surpassed that of most regular armies.
"Owen, it's your turn! The knights have been terrified by my army of the undead, and it's time for your men to deliver the final blow, but remember, we must capture the damned thief alive, and we must get it back first! Seeing that the undead army was being held back by the combined resistance of those knights and mages, Gusin finally turned his head to look at the tall man in black next to him.
"I know, huh...... This time we have spent a lot of money, all of this was originally prepared to completely control Nanhai Town, but now we have to use it on a thief! The tall black-clothed man beside him let out a cold snort, although he sounded a little unwilling, but after all, he ripped off the black robe on his body, revealing the armor that shone with a metallic luster inside.
"Go, Owen, you are a very optimistic warrior of the master, don't have any hesitation on this battlefield, this time we have exposed the hole cards, then all the people who have seen these hole cards can not stay, even Gianna!" A sinister gaze shot out of Gu Sin's deep-set eyes.
"Gianna wants to be killed too?" The man known as Owen hesitated slightly, and finally a trace of determination flashed in his eyes, and then Huo Ran pulled out his long sword.
"Everyone, get on the horse!"
At his command, there was a sound of rustling and horses' hooves in the surrounding bushes, and a group of brightly armored knights appeared in the dark mountain forest.
"Today is the time for us to prove ourselves to our masters, and for the sake of eternal life, all of us will charge with me!"
The deafening sound of horses' hooves roared in the darkness, like a muffled thunder rolling in the distance.
"It's a cavalry charge!" Song Zheng discovered this torrent of steel in the darkness almost immediately, the number of this team of cavalry was far more than the team of knights led by the previous paladin Carl, it was estimated that there were no less than a thousand people, and the momentum of its collective charge was naturally far greater than those knights before.
"Could it be reinforcements from Taren Mill?" Song Zheng felt a hint of surprise in his heart, but he quickly dismissed this possibility, because these knights who rushed over did not even have any banners, not even any insignia on their armor and shields...... It looks like a team of knights out of thin air!
And more importantly, looking at the target of these knights' charges, it seems that it is more like the carriage that he and Gianna are in!
"It won't be the troops of the Cursed Church, right......" Song Zheng felt a chill in his heart, it seemed that the Cursed Church had spent a huge price in order to hunt him down, not only took out the undead troops, but even sent a cavalry team, and the number of knights was not small.
The armor and weapons of the knights are expensive, not to mention the need to be equipped with well-trained horses, and even one or two retinues behind each knight must be responsible for taking care of the horses.
With the appearance and approach of these knights, even Gianna's face changed drastically this time.
"Could it be that some nobleman in the south of Lordaeron wants to do something to us?!" In the carriage next to him, the middle-aged nobleman who had never shown up was also moved, and finally came out of the carriage.
"I don't know, maybe it's the nobles of Alterac, Earl Tanan, it seems that we are really in big trouble this time, maybe there are people who don't want me to return to Kul Tiras." Gianna sighed, in the face of so many knights, it was no longer something that a few mages could stop.
"Those people are really crazy, I thought those guys would do something on the boat, but I didn't expect to be able to do something to us before we arrived in Nanhai Town!" Count Natanan frowned.
The knights charged quickly, and in an instant, they were already on the battlefield.
There was no fierce fighting this time, and the resistance that had already been chaotic under the attack of the undead was almost instantly overwhelmed by the newly emerged knights.
All of a sudden, the undead immediately rushed madly with these new knights.
Due to the defeat of the knights, Song Zheng was stunned to find that he was already facing these crazy enemies!
The surrounding nobles, who were just as protected as him, were also quick to sense the danger and immediately began to scream and flee in all directions, which undoubtedly added to the chaos on the battlefield.
"Let's go! Let's go grab two horses first. Song Zheng said without hesitation, once the knights are defeated, it will be difficult to reorganize the attack, and at this time, unless there is a strong person with the strength against the sky, it can save the defeat.
However, he soon found himself a step slower, and before she knew what time Gianna's carriage had been escorted by the knights and began to gallop southward, followed by the rest of the carriages.
In the darkness, almost everyone knew that their side had been defeated, and they all began to search for horses to flee for their lives, while the nobles who did not have horses frantically tried to catch up with the carriages ahead.
"Let's go into the mountains, and the knights can't charge on the mountains." Thrall whispered, he could see the knight's weakness at a glance.
"It's useless, those people are coming for me, in addition to these knights, I'm afraid there are other back-ups, we have to flee separately!" Song Zheng shook his head and said.
Although Thrall is a good bodyguard, his orc appearance is too prominent a target, and if he were to travel with him, it would be difficult for both of them to escape, but after separation, both of them would have a chance to escape.
Sal obviously understood this, and quickly nodded: "I will remember you, Brother Song Zheng, even if you take my life in the future, I will definitely try my best to repay you for saving my life." ”
"You don't need to take your life, just send me more money and beauties in the future, no...... Money is enough. "Song Zheng naturally wouldn't resist beautiful women, but when he thought of the 'outstanding' appearance of female orcs, he immediately had no thoughts.
