Act 41: The Battle for Fort Riptide IV

The ensuing war was not suspenseful, as Locke stood by Curran's side and saw the Riptide soldiers surrender, and then saw the forest trolls besiege the two Death Knights alive on the Arathi Heights.

Locke rode forward, and the two death knights were now bound by the forest trolls and half-knelt in front of Locke.

"The Lich King's plan will prevail."

"You can't resist the rise of the Scourge Legion."

The two of them chattered about the Scourge Legion, and Locke was silent, and only after becoming a human could he feel the evil of the Scourge Legion again.

"My dark power continues to eat away at my body, but I have not fallen, but although you have been corrupted by the dark power of Kuran, why can't you call back the Holy Light." Locke's voice rang softly in the ears of the two.

But there was no reaction from the two.

This was also expected by Locke, who smiled and made a decapitation gesture. There was only a click, and the heads of the two fell to the ground.

Creatures controlled by the Lich King cannot escape their control, and they will be at the mercy of the Lich King as he fights for the destruction of Azeroth. In the future, Sylvanas will only be freed if the Lich King is extremely weak, but the first thing the Banshee King will do to regain his freedom is to take control of Lordaeron's undead.

Of course, Arthas was the first to escape the Lich King, as he killed the Lich King and became the new master of the undead.

"Time is running out." Locke sighed, and from the message sent by the forest troll, it seemed that a large number of orcs had appeared in the south of Lordaeron, and the plague was also spreading in Lordaeron's territory.

Although the humans cover it up well, there will be some clues about the plague anyway.

"My king, there are about seven hundred human soldiers who surrendered, what shall we do with them?" A forest troll who came over to inquire asked cautiously with a respectful expression.

Locke nodded, "Send these humans to the Elemental Throne and make them loyal to Laurena, and those who don't want to be loyal will become serfs and cultivate the fields for the soldiers." ”

The sun's rays kept shining on the blade of the Destroyer of Worlds, the troll artifact that had been soaked in blood today, and as the energy was overflowing, Locke raised his sword and pointed at Riptide Castle, which stood not far away on the heights of Arathi.

"Now, the forest trolls are about to attack Riptide again, and I will be the king of trolls in the entire north!" Locke's voice was sonorous and powerful, echoing with the cheers of the forest trolls.

This is where the king of forest trolls is born.

And then made a heroic move right before their eyes.

The conquest of Fort Riptide has been the dream of many generations of forest trolls, and since the establishment of human society, forest trolls have been passively beaten, the holy land has been discarded one after another, and the clansmen have died one after another, and their once strong bodies look pale and powerless in the face of human magic and swords.

"My king, there really is nothing wrong with the choice of the gods."

"We're going to conquer Riptide Fort today!!"

The forest trolls were shocked by this news, and then their hearts were filled with ecstasy, there is a legend among the forest trolls that if the forest trolls re-attack Riptide Castle one day, then it will be the time of the revival of the trolls, and at that time, the whole of Azeroth will re-establish the empire of the trolls.

"Zurkin."

"Our common leader."

The forest troll's wild shouts didn't make Locke flutter, instead, plans to attack Riptide were already in his head.

Although the forest trolls have already wiped out a large number of human armies in the wild, it is difficult to say that Prince Garin did not arrange guards to defend the city in the castle, you know, although the castle is old and the city walls are in disrepair, but after all, it is a city wall, and the forest trolls do not have the ability to attack the city.

"Very well, let some of the vanguard go to attack Fort Riptide, and we will drive over after we have our army in order." Locke didn't want to fight this battle, his plan was that if Prince Garin didn't close the gates and there was no need for a siege, Locke would attack quickly. If Prince Garin could not hold on, Locke would besiege the city.

At least the siege of the city can make the prince of Riptide Castle surrender, after all, he has no so-called reinforcements, the kingdom of Stormwind is too far away, Lordaeron is too busy to take care of himself, and it is impossible for either side to save this kingdom that is about to fall.

"Tolbain's Axe, good thing." Locke picks up the axe from the ground.

The axe was once in the possession of the royal family of Riptide Castle, but it disappeared during a skirmish with the trolls, and then someone found the axe in Zuaman, although it is unknown what Prince Garin paid for the axe, but it is now owned by Locke.

"This is the key to unlocking the treasure trove." Alice's voice came to Locke's ear, and the ghost appeared next to Locke.

"Of course, my husband, the king of Rapidskeau, once said that if you recover Torbain's axe, you can open the treasury of Soladin the Great and get a lot of wealth and weapons from it."

Alice said slowly, after being controlled by Locke, she had quickly accepted the concept that Locke was her master. It's still a bit of an unlikely thing to get Alice to fight, but she can tell Locke some of the secrets.

In fact, Locke has no interest in artifacts at all, if there is indeed an artifact, then how can Riptide Castle finally fall, you know, this kingdom once couldn't even resist the forsaken.

"Well, we'll talk about that later, but now the most important thing for us to do is to continue our journey and conquer Riptide Castle."

………………

Fort Riptide

The blazing sun did not sweep away the shadows in Prince Garin's heart, and he walked quickly into the hall, with madness in his eyes, and said to himself, "It's over, it's all over." ”

"My army, my army of the undead, that's all over."

Garin sat on the throne, and in normal times, there should be dozens of guards around him, but now, there was not a single person around him.

"Hahaha" Garin stood with his sword in his hand, and then let out a wild laugh.

The sunlight reflected by the blade refracted against the window and then shot into Garin's eyes, which made him shake his head.

"I haven't lost yet, if I can open a treasure trove." Prince Garin whispered, his eyes rekindling.

He stood up and said to the guards outside the door, "This matter is not allowed to be publicized today, most of the people in the town hall are recuperating, you know?"

"Yes, of course the little ones do." The guard hurriedly said that he didn't want to touch Garin's brow at this time.
