Act IV: The Corrupted Earth

The night was getting darker.

Locke prepares the ghouls for bed. After days of running, they still haven't caught up with the Knights of the Silver Hand in Arthas, which makes Locke and the others feel very tired. So Locke and the others decided to use the strategy of resting for three hours at night.

In the distance, there was a faint howl of wolves and the roar of the undead.

Locke wasn't going to sleep tonight.

Locke took off his heavy armor, and the gargoyle hung from the branches of the tree to observe his surroundings, and if the surrounding wolves or undead army approached, the gargoyle would immediately call the police.

Silver-white snowflakes slowly fell from the night, and soon covered Locke's body.

This altered weather must be attributed to Kel'thugad, who became increasingly fragile after the snowstorm and spread most of the plague after the snowstorm.

From the carriage, Liliana walked behind Locke, and she followed Locke's field of vision, only to see bursts of silver-white snowflakes falling in the vast sky.

"What are you looking at......"

"Snow ...... Still thinking about something. ”

Liliana was a little surprised, she squatted beside Locke, her blue eyes looked at Locke beside her, and said slowly, "What are you thinking......

"Before...... That elven mage in Dalaran is you, what are you hiding from me? Locke stared at Liliana beside him, as if he wanted to see through the girl in front of him.

The icy wind and snow continued all night.

When she woke up in the morning, the whole of Northern Lordaeron was covered in snow, and the snow made it impossible for the carriage to move at all, and Kalia frowned lightly and whispered, "I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to catch up with Arthas now." ”

Locke nodded, then reached out his hand, only to see pale blue flames leap in his palm. Then the Nightmare Warhorse let out a joyful song, and appeared in front of Locke in vain, he turned over and jumped on the Nightmare Warhorse, and then said to the two people beside him: "I think, only one can come up, it is better for Liliana to turn into a blue dragon and chase in the sky, how about it." ”

Liliana shrugged her shoulders, and she walked to the spacious area not far away, transforming into a blue dragon in a burst of blue light.

………………

Cowling intersection

It was the transportation hub of northern Lordaeron, and as the main town of the north, it was equipped with a large number of heavy knights and heavy infantry, but now the whole city was in a panic, and although the undead had not attacked such a city in a short time, all the inhabitants of the caravans had heard a terrifying news for them.

That is, the Scourge of the Dead is spreading throughout the northern part of Lordaeron.

The plague is slowly spreading.

The first thing Locke did when he entered the town was to find a way down to the Alsatian army, and soon a citizen told him that not long ago, Arthas had led his army to the grain depots further north to destroy the undead who had entrenched there.

"Go and find Arthas, I'm waiting for your news in the town of Cowlin for the time being." Kalia stepped out of the carriage and waved at Locke.

………………

In the dark forest.

Locke wielded the Flogger and slashed the skeleton that crawled out of the mud to pieces with a single sword. The northern realm of Lordaeron has changed in a different way, the earth is rotting, the woods are rotting, and life is withering in the land.

Locke had been trekking through the forest for a day, and it wasn't until the next morning that he reached the North Vale, the northernmost granary of Lordaeron, but now the dark had polluted everything.

The emerald green plants slowly withered, the land became more dry, weathered rocks everywhere, and even cracks in the ground gradually appeared.

Because the earth is threatened, it has rapidly generated stone elemental creatures from the ground, which are either usually sleeping deep underground, or randomly generated elemental creatures, roaming around the forest at the moment.

How strong is the stone element?

The most powerful of these elemental creatures have legendary power, and the weakest also have the power of ordinary pinnacle. But at this moment, the earth is threatened by the Scourge Legion, and most of these stone elementals are elite peak creatures.

"Alsace, will it really be in the North Valley?" Locke frowned and said, in fact, it is already a bit dangerous to find Arthas now, not only has the land been corrupted, but the natural disaster has also come in advance, and even some demons have taken advantage of the chaos to invade the territory of Lordaeron.

Locke casually slashed a black bear that rushed towards him, and the decomposed black bear let out a low roar and fell to the ground.

Liliana glanced at the dead black bear in front of her, the black bear's body was covered with scars, and mushrooms even grew from those wounds: "The ecological area here has been completely infected, and the bodies of these beasts are full of the smell of disease. ”

"It's a shame, but I have to tell you that we only have three hours, and if we can't find Alsace, we'll have to leave the North Valley quickly."

Three hours is enough.

That's enough time to leave the North Valley and head to the Northland Watchtower to observe Arthas's troops.

Locke summoned the ghoul, and then asked the gargoyle to detective in the direction of the east, and the gargoyle flying in mid-air, although the detective is weak on the ghost, but the detective's strength is not very weak. Locke carefully observed the stone elementals in front of him, the stone elementals in the wandering forest were now a thing in the way.

Elemental creatures have no obvious weaknesses, they don't have any specific organs, and they will always fight unless they are drained of life in their bodies.

The stone elemental is not weak, as the most powerful elemental creature of the four elements, their body strength is terrifying, usually three times the defense of the fire element, and the extremely garbage drop makes many people not want to trouble the stone element.

Thundered

With a dull sound, the stone element rushed out of the forest with heavy steps, it was about two meters high, the black mud was stacked into a human shape, and the head had a pair of angry eyes, and the stone element began to tremble slightly every half a step, and the huge size made the stone element like a bulldozer, pushing everything in front of it all the way.

Hulala~

Death coiled through the air with a whistling sound that shot into the hard rock of the stone elemental's chest, but the stone elemental only faintly stopped moving forward before continuing to charge towards Locke.

Not enough damage! (To be continued.) )
