Chapter 299: South
When Song Zheng came down from the city wall, the city was already full of celebratory cheers.
Although the undead scourge retreated and still formed an encirclement, it did need a victory to encourage the defenders and civilians in the city.
Surrounded by many nobles, Kalia had already returned to the palace to prepare for the celebration.
Although Song Zheng was also a small nobleman, he did not follow Kalia to the palace again.
He had been planning to leave the city, but he could not help much in the long-term defense of the city, so he quickly decided to leave the royal capital and return to Andohar.
"Baron Song Zheng can go east from the waterway, and the Undead Scourge has not blocked Lake Lordamere." Alfred Abidis also did not go to the palace, but assisted in the treatment of wounded soldiers nearby, and suggested after learning that Song Zheng was going out of the city.
This is perhaps the advantage of the royal capital of Biandohar, as the city is bordered to the south by the vast Lordamere Lake, which can even be crossed directly to Dalaran.
Although the Scourge has some ships and fleets, they are all in the east around Lake Daron Mill and the Sodoril River, and there is no time to make ships on the side of the royal capital of Lordaeron, and there is not even a decent siege weapon, so it is naturally difficult to restrict water traffic with only a small number of gargoyles.
"No, I can walk directly through the camp of the undead and see how they are, and Agatha and their warlock troops are still on the periphery of the undead encirclement, so I can go and tell them something about the city." Song Zheng declined Alfred Abydis's kindness.
He had already crossed the camp of the undead many times, and he had no fear at all.
In the previous battle to defend the city, in order to prevent the city gate from being breached, someone had already nailed the city gate completely, and now the city gate could not be opened again, and Song Zheng had to open it again and climb down from the wall after sneaking.
There was still a dead silence in the camp of the Undead Scourge, and the undead warriors didn't even need tents, just standing there in the east and west, and would attack as soon as they received the order to fight.
Song Zheng carefully passed through these undead, and quietly recorded the approximate data by the way.
After discovering the pitiful number of abhorrtions in this undead army, he finally put his mind at ease.
Without the Abomination, the combat effectiveness of the undead troops will be greatly reduced, and after Stratholm is burned, the Undead Scourge will not be able to replenish powerful troops such as Abomination and Meat Grinder from the rear for a short time, which is definitely good news for Lordaeron's defending forces.
Now the real threat to King Lordaeron is probably those necromancers, and before Dalaran's mage troops arrived, the defenders in the city were basically helpless against those necromancers.
"I wonder if Kel'thugad is here?" Song Zheng thought secretly in his heart.
In the absence of the fall of Arthas, Kel'thugad should be the current commander of the Scourge in the Eastern Kingdoms, but it is unknown if he is in Andorhar or has already arrived near the royal capital.
However, as the undead scourge continues to expand the battle front, its flaws are constantly revealed.
The lack of top-level powerhouses is one of the current shortcomings of the Undead Scourge.
Although Nao Zu himself is very powerful and can already be called a demigod, he is confined to the Frozen Throne and cannot leave, although there is still a group of Dreaddemon Lords under his command, but it is more responsible for monitoring him, and basically will not participate in the war.
Other than that, almost all of the other subordinates were slowly developed by Neozu after coming to Azeroth.
"This guy Naozu is also a talent, and he was thrown to Azeroth by Kil'Gardan alone, and he developed such a large inheritance." Song Zheng sighed secretly.
Speaking of which, Neozu should be considered a time-traveler, and only the soul came to Azeroth, but he almost managed to successfully control the entire world.
In comparison, as a traverser, he didn't mix very well.
Song Zheng quickly passed through the camp of the Scourge of the Dead, but it took him a lot of time to find Agatha and the others.
With the siege of the city by the undead, Lordaeron's forces like Agatha and others who were active on the periphery were naturally surrounded and suppressed by the undead, and in order to reduce their losses, they had to take refuge in remote places.
"Lord Baron, how is the situation in the city now?" After seeing Song Zheng, Agatha and the other warlocks couldn't help but ask anxiously.
Even though they have already gone through many life-and-death battles, now that there are their families in the city, they will still be extremely worried.
"The situation in the city is not bad, after repelling the first attack of the undead scourge, the courage of those recruits has been greatly improved, and they no longer tremble when they see the undead as before, and although the number of undead calamity is large, but it lacks elites, the number of abomination and gargoyles is very small, and there are not a few meat grinders, so it will definitely not be able to have any impact on the royal capital in a short period of time." Song Zheng smiled, and at the same time, he also saw Catherine in the team, and hurriedly summoned her to his side.
"You're finally back, have you found Luo Ning and them?" Song Zheng hurriedly asked, this is what he has always been very concerned about.
"My lord, I didn't find Master Luo Ning and them, I heard that they seem to have been besieged by the undead natural disaster, suffered a lot of losses, and have taken refuge in the south of Andorhar, and it is said that there is still a relatively large number of Lordaeron troops active in the mountains and forests over there, Master Luo Ning They are likely to go to meet them, but because the distance is too far, I am worried about you, my lord, so I did not go to investigate in person." Catherine replied apologetically.
"The Southern Mountains of Andorhar...... I see, you're doing a great job. Song Zheng couldn't help laughing when he heard this.
Naturally, he knew very well who was active in the southern mountains and forests of Andorhar, and most of them were Cheng Yuan, who had crossed with him, and when he went to Dalaran to ask for help, he had met Cheng Yuan in the mountains and forests over there.
However, he later led the warlock troops to fight everywhere, but he never had time to look for Cheng Yuan's troops again.
"I don't know how that guy is developing now, I guess he has a lot of experience, but he definitely doesn't have as much experience as me." Song Zheng thought secretly in his heart.
Cheng Yuan has a large number of troops in his hands, and it definitely doesn't matter if he destroys some peripheral enemies, as the commander-in-chief, he can naturally gain a lot of experience, but he will definitely not gain tens of millions of experience at a time like him.
