Chapter 15: The Scarlet Dawn (Part II)

"Here?"

"Ahh This is the Dragonbone Wilderness! A wonderful place in Northrend! Captain Scherey pointed to a corner to the right of the map and said to Bridget. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

"That was when I was younger, when I went to Northrend with General Barry Weswin after the Orc War, and of course, General Weswin wasn't an admiral at that time, and Northrend's existence was nothing more than a legend."

"When we were young, we sailed our ships together to fight the damn pirates, but we didn't expect to run into a storm. Our ship and large force were separated in the storm, and then, after a whole night of fighting, we realized that we had deviated from course and that our ships were badly damaged. ”

"Then, as the days went by, the temperature kept dropping, we never got back to our original shipping lane, and the supplies on board became less and less, and even our ship was about to reach its limit."

"Finally, when we were all desperate, we found land."

"It was the frozen continent known today as Northrend, where our ship ran aground. By hunting mammoths and ice bugs on the ice field, we survived tenaciously, and later, we came here. As he spoke, Captain Sheré pointed to the corner of Map Hill.

"We ran into a group of goblins who had come here to explore, and the ships of the little green dwarfs who wanted money were attacked by pirates and forced to dock here. However, the pirates also caught up, and coincidentally, they were the same ones we were chasing. ”

"After we had exterminated all the pirates with the help of these goblins, we were able to return to Lordaeron with the help of the profiteers' ships, and it was only during the interrogation of the pirate captives that we learned that the icefield continent was Northrend. The place where we were forced to go ashore was called the Keel Wilderness. ”

"Legend has it that in the center of this ice field, there is a fortress built by a dragon, and this is also the place where the dragon is buried after the death of the legend."

"I believe that the dragon is not a legend to you, General!"

"That's right!" Bridget nodded, "Those frost dragons of the Scourge Legion have caused great losses to our army, but you said that this is the graveyard of the dragons, would that be ............?" ”

"You can rest assured of that, General!" Captain Sherley shook his head and said to Bridget, "Those Scourge Frost Dragons must have desecrated the dragon's remains, and for that reason, the Dragons hate the Scourge as much as we do. If there were a Scourge here, the dragons would not sit idly by and watch the corpses of their own people be desecrated. ”

"Even if none of these legends are true, so what, as long as we hold this place, we can attack the Scourge Legion when we advance, and retreat to the sea. And the terrain is open, so if the Scourge wants to replicate their tidal attacks, our scouts can easily spot them. As for the Scourge threat at sea, do those skeletons know what sailing is!? ”

"And at sea, in Northrend, the only thing that threatens our human fleet is the hunting forces of the Vikus. General, do you know the Vikus! ”

"I've heard," Bridget replied, nodding, "said to be the natives who lived in Northrend, a group of giants, and in the discoveries of some archaeologists, it is said that we humans seem to have been originally a tribe of the Viku?" ”

"Yes, that's right!" Captain Sherley agrees with Bridget's claim, adding, "I've heard a mage of Dalaran say that we humans are originally descendants of the Viku people, but that our ancestors migrated from Northrend to Azeroth thousands of years ago. Although these savage giants probably don't think about family affection or anything like that, their seafaring skills are not enough to build an ocean-going army. ”

"On the ground, they are a real tough bunch of opponents. But at sea, they are no more than that, and our fleet is loaded with artillery that can easily wreck their ships. ”

Listening to Captain Sherley's words, Brigitte nodded in agreement, and after looking at the map of Northrend in detail for a while, she raised her head and looked at Captain Sherley.

"So, it's decided, Captain Scherey, please prepare for the long voyage, and I will instruct the logistics to start transferring all the supplies to your ship!"

"I see! I'll tell those boys to rain up their firepower when I get back later, to buy time for New Avalon to move, to consume more ammunition, and to move out of the house to store more supplies. ”

"Then I'll trouble you, Captain Sheré!" Brigitte gave a knightly salute to Captain Sheré, "Now, the burden of the safety of the city's inhabitants and the future of the Scarlet Crusaders is up to you, for all you have done!" ”

"No need to be polite, General!" Captain Sheré stood upright, beat his chest with his right hand, and said to Bridget, "This is the duty of the subordinates, so the general, the subordinates will go and tell the crew to prepare for the voyage." ”

"I'm all up to you, Captain!"

......

...

Bell, bell, bell............

At this time, a heavy bell rang.

"It's," Brigitte said, with an ugly expression, "the bell of vigilance!" Could it be that the Scourge Undead are attacking again? ”

Touch!

The door to the room was slammed open, and a panicked blood-colored crusader burst into the room.

"Report, report, report, report...... WhewW...... Report General...... Yes, there is...."

"What a fluster, soldier." Captain Sheré pressed one hand on the soldier's shoulder and grabbed the soldier, "Calm down, what's going on, explain the situation carefully, is it a natural disaster that the doglegs have begun to attack the city again!" ”

"No, it's not, sir." The soldier gasped for breath and said, "Yes, it's the undead in the city, and the killers of the undead have infiltrated!" ”

"What" X2

"What are the guards doing? Let the undead sneak into the city! Bridget exclaimed angrily, "What the hell is this, the guards?" What is Commander Roddick doing! ”

"General, Lord Roddick has been assassinated by the undead!" The soldier said in horror, "Lord Roddick has been found dead in the hall of the castle, and several other guards have also been killed!" ”

"You mean, an undead has crept into the castle! And Roddick was killed by the undead! Captain Scherey asked in a loud voice.

"Well, it's not just Lord Roddick who has been killed! The Grand Inquisitor Valos, who guarded the castle prison and was in charge of interrogation, and his monks were all killed. The Death Knight he captured not long ago has disappeared, and the schedule of patrol routes that had been kept by Master Roddick is gone! ”

"What......" Bridgett yelled out the door...... Come! ”

"Yes, General!" Another Scarlet Crusader soldier walked into the room.

"Immediately notify everyone, put the whole city on alert, wake up all the soldiers on duty, and defend against the surprise attack of the Scourge Legion! Scatter all the cavalry and reservists into the city, beware of the undead. Order all Commanders and Commanders to be at least three of them together or bring a squad with them to prevent undead killers from sneaking up! ”

"Yes, General Abydis"

"Captain Sheré!"

"Your subordinates are here, General Abydis!"

"Please go back to the ship and get ready, the Scourge Undead are running out of time!"

"Yes, General!"

"As for you, soldier!" Bridget looked at the soldier who rushed in and said, "You lead the way now, I'm going to the scene." ”

"Yes!"
