Battle of Northrend (3)

They flew away, and we were still ready to ride back, yes, compared to their special dragon mounts, we were not so lucky, because we brought a lot of cavalry with us, and the result was only to go back as we pleased. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

In fact, in such an endless place, it is definitely a place worth camping, especially since it is already evening, and it may be early in the morning to return to the campsite now, and there may be more reasons for everyone to stay here for the night tonight. And the dwarves in front of us have prepared a decent place for us.

A nice place... I thought. Maybe there wasn't a threat of the undead, or maybe my relationship with Sylvanas wasn't at this point, I would have brought it up, but now I don't even have the chance of joking like that. After all, the reflection of the moonlight in the snow still allows us to see the way back, not to mention the nocturnal rangers. So in silence, everyone turned to the direction from the south.

The journey back was unusually deserted, and naturally it made me feel like a long time. Especially watching Sylvanas and her rangers gallop through such a cold world made me want to care about something, but what could I do, I don't think she would have gotten on my horse anyway.

In the early hours of the morning, we finally returned to the base, and almost all of us, except for a few soldiers who had been on guard duty on improvised posts, returned to the ship to rest. After eating some food, they went back to their rooms on the ship. Yes, it's not too early. But just as I was about to undress and go to bed, a familiar light appeared in front of me, and I knew what it was.

I thought it would be Gianna, because they used almost the same technique. But in reality, when I lit an oil lamp and looked closely, I found that it was Crassus, and I could not hide my disappointment.

"Arthas, you seem to be looking forward to her more. The Red Dragon Mage smiled at my loss. And what puzzled me was that I don't know when this reptile face also started to like jokes.

"Tell me something, I'm going to sleep, Master. โ€

"I thought you couldn't sleep. As he spoke, he pulled out a map that glowed like a jewel with a magical glow.

"Well, you win, Crassus. I stared at the thing and guessed, "I think it's a masterpiece of Karegos." โ€

"You're right.," Crassus nodded and continued his narrative. "The enemy isn't very strong, and they have some really tough problems. โ€

"Tricky question, are there other expeditionary forces?"

"No, it's some indigenous spider-men who have been fighting against them, and the main force of the undead is working to exterminate those cunning creatures. โ€

"You mean, we can fight the undead with them. โ€

"Even if you didn't call in half of Uther's elite troops, I wouldn't advise you to do so. โ€

"Why?"

"Quite simply, because they are not trustworthy. โ€

In the face of my question, Crassus answered my question very simply, obviously with a hidden meaning.

"Looks like you've talked to them. โ€

"Yes, there have been some wars. And we dragons have also paid some sacrifices. โ€

"Wellโ€”" I thought it might be the Battle of the Quicksands, but since he didn't want to talk to me about it, I didn't need to know anything about it at this time. So I continued to listen carefully to his continuation.

"We don't need to ally with those creatures who don't trust outsiders now, it's enough to defeat the scattered undead, and if we unite them, when we win, maybe he'll bite us back..."

Crassus is still pushing the theory of not uniting with the Zerg, but I seem to be concerned with only one thing.

"You mean the undead are scattered now, how is it possible, don't they know that we are attacking them?"

"You should know, but if the worms don't care, they will also be very difficult, so we should break down their bases one by one. โ€

"Good idea, and then wipe them out before their main force gathers. โ€

"Well, I've already handed it over to you, I think you should know how to deal with it, you can take a look first. "He seemed to have accomplished his purpose, so he left the map behind and left, yes, it wasn't very far from his room, so there was no need for teleportation...

At this moment, I couldn't wait to open the map, I knew that everything that is magical has something special about it, and this one is no exception, for example, when I touch that location, they are displayed intuitively like puppet models. I finally realized what Karegos had been doing all this time, and perhaps he had created it in the hope that someone would help them destroy those creatures.

Perhaps, we're here anyway. I thought so, so I looked at the map in detail, looking at the positions marked as enemy positions, and to my surprise, it was still possible to roughly estimate the composition and deployment of the enemy and the deployment of troops, and I was not shocked to see this, yes, it was enough for me to have a clear understanding of the enemy's strength and how to fight them.

So I quickly devised a route to the army, a very simple idea, which was to crush them all the way to the base in Melganir, and it didn't seem like there was any need for strategic deployment at all.

I thought, and at this time, I also thought about what else they could win. There seemed to be only one point, and that was to lure me out of Frost Sorrow, and thinking of this, I immediately went to find its location, remembering that it should be in a corner of the enemy's main base.

'That's right, it should be near the main base of Melganir. I quickly spotted that dead end on this magical map.

So I clicked on the spot as before, but this time, unlike the others, nothing was displayed here, and when I tried to click on it, I sensed a new force preventing me from checking it. At first I thought it was the Blue Dragon's power that limited my perception of this place, but when I clicked on their Blue Dragon's lair, it was still able to show the structure there, so it made no sense for him to hide that place.

Maybe, anyway, it's not early, I think the best way is to have a good rest for a day, and then discuss the tactical arrangement with you....

The next day, I was awakened by the noise of the construction of the docks, which meant that I was late, so I immediately put on my clothes and rushed into the council chamber with a map.

At this moment, everyone is here, and in addition to my usual men and some generals Lordaeron, there are also dwarves such as Muradin, yes, it seems that he has a full meal and does not plan to go home, but to help us destroy the undead creatures that threaten the entire continent. However, as my former master, it seems that he is in the best position to blame me for being late.

"You're late, Arthas. The dwarves reproached me in all seriousness, and did not thank me verbally for all the effort I had taken to save them last night.

"I'm sorry why you didn't slam the door like you used to. โ€

I retorted to the dwarf to set the mood, but he had a better way of doing it than I did.

"Hmph, if you're still a kid, I'm going to spank you in public. โ€

"Then thank you for your kindness. "Seeing that everyone was almost bursting into laughter, I felt it was time to stop. "Okay, let's get back to business, Master Crassus gave me this...."I opened the map as I spoke, and then under everyone's consultation, we discussed the route of the march together, in fact, it was not a discussion, the map told everyone the distribution of the enemy very intuitively, and there seemed to be nothing to add to the crushing trend, and the meeting ended.

Because we had marked their approximate numbers on the map provided by the Blue Dragon, we knew that the closest places to this place were not very numerous and very scattered, so I also left a considerable number of Lordaeron troops to build here under the pretext of guarding the ships, yes, I think that when the stronghold here is rested, there should be more places to build, such as the position of the place that is about to be attacked.

I thought so, and I led most of the people to their destination.

After a full day of travel, we finally arrived at the enemy base marked on the map. As far as the eye could see, there were still remnants of a human market town, but now that they had taken over the undead and had been built into a simple castle above ground, I quickly realized that this was not a defense against us, but rather the wormmen who were good at burrowing in the ground, as Crassus said. Because something as simple as this can't stop an earthly creature like us.

On the other hand, the defenders here also recognized the threat of our presence, so they did not know that the timid enemy would naturally send their own death squads, that is, the infected local humans, to charge forward.

Looking at the zombie creatures that still have a trace of humanity, I believe that even people who have not been in contact with undead creatures should be able to tell that they were once the same creatures as themselves. They had to sigh for a while.

For my previous troops, because they already had combat experience, their hideous and distorted faces were nothing to us at all, but for the vast majority of those troops under Uther's command, they showed undeserved panic, and some even showed timidity....and this was the biggest taboo in the battle, and I had to be glad that I was only facing a small wave of enemies, because it was definitely a good test for them.

"Charge!" I shouted, and the previous troops naturally rushed to the front first, and at this moment, the enemy had already been hit by our mage's ice and fire spells, and it was only the lack of fear that allowed them to persist and not retreat, but what could this be, after all, they were only villagers before, and their combat effectiveness was really not very good. The rangers, who were supposed to be at a distance, perhaps realized that the enemy even deserved them to use bows and arrows, so they rushed forward to engage them in close combat, only to shoot their deadly bows and arrows when they saw the necromancer.

Maybe it was because he saw the strength of the enemy, that is, there was some ferocity on the outside, so most of the new soldiers also regained their courage as they should have, yes, the enemy's only spell that threatened us was also easily interfered with or even defused by Crassus and Ronin and others, there was no threat at all, and it was even easier than exterminating the robbers or something.

Perhaps these hesitant soldiers, seeing the easy victory of my previous troops, quickly joined them and rushed forward with courage, crushing the enemy as my first warriors did, and then crushing the enemy's castle.

In the rear, I saw this, and I felt a wave of pride, as if everything was as easy as I expected.

But at this moment, something unexpected happened, some creatures appeared in the enemy, and the griffon dwarves who were first comfortably in the air were suddenly caught by a net, and I seemed to think of something, and on the ground I saw their figures, that is, huge creatures that suddenly surged out of the ground....Crypt Demon.

"Damn, I should have thought of it, the mage hit the monolithic and attacked those creatures. I cursed angrily, and I myself rode up on my horse. Yes, they were even larger than a knight with a man or a horse, and their sheer size did not affect their physical flexibility. Although we can work together, we can still easily suppress these not many guys.

The biggest headache is that they can burrow into the ground, and after a while they will emerge from another location, and when they do, they will always overturn several knights and infantry.

"Watch out for your underground. "I warn everyone, but this order is nonsense, everyone knows what to pay attention to, but who knows when and where they are. I watched everything helplessly, and it was precisely because of their appearance that the battle situation gradually became passive.

Although the other undead forces were wiped out, the Crypt Demons rarely died, and I felt even more helpless that many of them were good at similar necromancy, and many of the fallen ones joined the ranks of the enemy.

Perhaps at this time the Uther soldiers knew the horror of the enemy, but I didn't want to teach them in this way. But what can be done? We can only activate and kill sporadic enemies when they appear, and we pay for them at a cost of tenfold sacrifice and being turned into undead after being sacrificed.

It went on for two or three rounds, and just when I thought the war would cost great sacrifices, Crassus walked in and muttered a few words to the earth, and then the ground shook violently, and unlike ordinary earthquakes, we could hardly feel the shock, and the underground crypt demons were invisible, and even if they tried to go underground again, it was in vain.

"Kill them!" I didn't thank the Red Dragon Mage first, but unleashed my anger on them like everyone else, yes, sacrificing these compatriots, but also turning them into enemies after death, I don't think there is a single person who doesn't want to kill these despicable fellows.

In a fit of rage, we wiped out all our enemies. And this battle ended.
