This time, the escort convoy was secondary, and the key was to negotiate with Nathanos. According to the original plan, this time Xie Feng wanted to go to Maris Farm

After a few hours of travel, without incident, the convoy arrived safely at the Chapel of the Light's Wish, where the Silver Warriors were once again greeted with cheers.

Let the accompanying blood knights rest outside the chapel for a while, Xie Feng walked into the hall alone and said hello to Baron Maxwell, chatted casually for a while, and after being fully prepared, he carefully selected thirty more people from the elite blood knights brought this time to follow him, and handed over the rest to Valen, and asked him to take them back to the Northland Guard Tower.

There are no supplies to protect on this trip, and you have to frequently pass through the area where undead creatures are rampant, only a few elites need to protect Xie Feng's safety, and if there are too many people, the target will become larger, more likely to be targeted by natural disasters, causing trouble, and it will become a burden. The route is also the second transportation line that was set at the beginning, Xie Feng took the first step, and explored the road by the way, to see what links need to be paid attention to and the loopholes in the plan, so as to change and reformulate the plan as soon as possible.

Say goodbye to Maxwell, take thirty Blood Knights around the pit of the Devil's Blade Scar from the back, follow the dry river that runs through the plague to the east, turn southwest near the main road, and make a circle to Maris Farm with the plague-ridden Lake of Darkwood passing between the plague scar and the mountains to the north.

From time to time along the way, I encountered some wandering undead and plague creatures, such as plague dogs, plague bats, etc., and the blood knights who rode fast didn't bother to look at them, and only those who were in the middle of the road were qualified to eat their judgments or halberd swings, and the others didn't care at all~ It wasn't until they approached the main road that a group of people aroused the interest of the blood knights, the old acquaintance, the culprit who caused tens of thousands of natural disasters and the battle of Erigor and Marren, the red-clothed messenger of the Scarlet Crusade! And he was chased by a small group of undead natural disasters~ Seeing this, not only Xie Feng hated the root of his teeth, but the other blood knights also looked eager to try, eager to rush up and split the corpses, anyway, it is not a big deal to die in the plague land, as long as they are not caught red-handed, the ghost knows who they died in.

In the battle a few days ago, the Blood Knights, who had almost nothing to lose against the trolls, were torn apart by dozens of people in the final battle, and they couldn't hate it!

However, compared to last time, although the red-clothed messenger was still being chased and ran, there was no big danger, Xie Feng looked at it with a gloomy face next to him for a moment, and finally gritted his teeth and ordered:

"Save her and kill the Scourge!" It is said that the first rider rushed out and slammed diagonally into the undead chasing behind the messenger.

Although the rest of the blood knights were a little reluctant, they still did not disobey the order, and rushed out with Xie Feng without any hesitation.

The few natural disasters were no match for this group of elite Blood Knights, and with the escort of more than thirty red couriers, these undead were completely scattered with a single charge, and most of them were reduced to dust under the light of the Blood Knights and Crusaders. A seventh-order cursed cultist led by him wanted to flee when he saw that the situation was not good, but he was unlucky to be targeted by Xie Feng, and the arcane control supported the long-range torrent, and cooperated with the Holy Light Judgment to easily open him~ As soon as the leader died, the remnants of the undead were suddenly scattered. However, the Scarlet Crusaders were unwilling to let go of any of the undead who passed under their noses, and they pursued and killed them all with a little effort, amid the coquettish cheers of the red messengers. By the time the crusaders and the red-clothed messengers came to their senses, the blood knights did not even look back, and had already crossed the main road under the leadership of Xie Feng and galloped towards the northwest

―――――― Thrace, the first batch of Blood Knights to participate in the Battle of the Ghosts with Xie Feng, his efforts and talent are second to none among all Xie Feng's veterans, and he successfully broke through and advanced to the sixth order in the big melee under the East Wall guard tower a few days ago, but he also lost an old comrade-in-arms who shared life and death in that battle

Looking back at the blood knight who was frantically chasing the undead in the distance, he finally couldn't help it, and asked Xie Feng, who was galloping on a horse with an expression on his face, "General, why do we want to save those madmen?" Just because they're allies? If they are so laissez-faire, sooner or later they will lure the undead to the vicinity of the Northland Watchtower, and when the time comes, we"

"Hehe~ Thrace, did you finally ask?" Xie Feng reined in the war horse, glanced back at it with a smile, and said in a rather playful tone: "Are you simply reminding me, or do you want to take revenge?" ”

Just now he found that the casual blood knights were in a bad mood, and he waited for a long time without speaking or explaining, just to see if they dared to question him

Serese's face suddenly turned red, and he lowered his head and didn't dare to face Xie Feng's eyes, but he still gritted his teeth and admitted: "The general forgives the sin, I, I want to take revenge even more!" ”

Hearing his answer, the other blood knights' hearts suddenly tightened, and they all looked at Xie Feng with a smile on his face and Thrace, who was ashamed but unwilling.

In the blood elves, questioning the boss is not a trivial crime, if it is brought up because of the mistake of the chief, then with Xie Feng's usual generosity, there is still room for things to turn around, but Thrace bluntly said that he was for revenge! In this way, although the courage is commendable, the consequences are commendable

"Good!" Under Thrace's slightly disdainful and surprised gaze, Xie Feng smiled and patted him on the shoulder, and praised: "Very good idea, and courage!" ”

He glanced at Thrace with admiration and encouragement, then looked around at the other blood knights, and said in a gentle and calm tone: "Do you remember the first time you participated in the war? ”

"That's me, just like you! It's just a third-order professional, with no command experience, and many of you are even stronger than me! Because of my weak strength and almost no fame and prestige, I can't tolerate any disobedience and doubts, because I can't bear the consequences! ”

"The original ghost land and the bad situation tied our fates together, or triumphant, or broken, no matter what, they can't be separated~"

"Luckily, we have made it through and grown up separately, and with your support, I have a place in Silvermoon City, but what about you?"

"The original strength, although the Blood Knights grew up at the fastest speed, and made you a qualified soldier, it was my fault that I didn't have a qualified commander!"

"Volel, the three of them all know each other, they are powerful, and I believe that they will become eighth-order rangers in the near future, but I don't dare to let them carry out missions with a team of more than 100 people, I don't want you to become such a 'talent'!"

After a slight pause, he looked at the blood knights with different faces and complicated eyes, and said to Thrace in an unusually serious tone: "In the future, I will allow you to participate in the strategic meeting!" ”

Thrace suddenly lost color, looked at Xie Feng at a loss, and stumbled and said~: "But, general, I, I'm just for revenge"

"So what?" Xie Feng interrupted in a tough tone: "The madness of the Scarlet Crusaders is known to the whole world, and I know better than you, but I never thought that they might lead the natural disaster to the vicinity of the Northland Guard Tower!" The transport line may be the lifeblood of the Silver Dawn, but the Scarlet Crusaders don't count on that! ”

Speaking of this, he glanced at the people present, slowly closed his eyes, and said slowly but firmly and forcefully: "You want revenge, why don't I want to?" Why should you make the lives of those brothers pay for the madness of the Scarlet Crusade? Glancing back at the direction of Tyr's hand, he turned his head to look in the direction where the red-clothed messenger had disappeared, and sneered: "Soon, you will have to pay the price for what you have done!" ”

In the past, in Xie Feng's feelings, the Scarlet Crusade has always been dominated by positive impressions, heroic, tragic, resolute, and fearless! In the face of natural disasters, there will always be their shadow on the front line, and in some areas, even only their shadow! The Silver Hand and the Silver Dawn will all have moments of gloomy retreat in the face of natural disasters, but the Scarlet Crusaders will never! The same battle flags, they dyed red with their own blood, as a reminder to those former comrades.

They are blind and crazy, and everyone who knows Azeroth well knows why they are like this, but even the Dreadlord, who is notorious for seducing the mind, cannot change the nature of their hatred of natural disasters! Crazy, but with a clear goal, this adds a tragic color to the onlooker

But only by the bystanders! Xie Feng, who was even determined to save these fighters, once he was on the scene, he personally ignored their madness and unscrupulousness, and the compassion, sympathy and ambition he once had were left to go crazy with a group of partners who accompanied him day and night, and handed over his life to his own soldiers without reservation, because the so-called information that these madmen could not lose was of no value in front of him, and it was not bad if he didn't turn his face on the spot!

To a certain extent, Xie Feng is quite selfish, and he is also very stingy and grudgeful! If he had joined the Scarlet Crusade, he would have done it himself, even more desperately and thoroughly, but once that happened to him, it would be a different story

Now that this beam is settled, I don't know if it can be solved in the future, but now Xie Feng has made up his mind to take revenge and use them because of the infection of these blood knights who share the same hatred. Although Xie Feng had long planned to use the Scarlet Crusaders, he had always felt a little guilty, and now the last trace of burden in his heart had been removed, making him more reasonable

These thoughts flashed through his mind, and after making up his mind, he breathed a long sigh of relief, put aside the matter about the Scarlet Crusader for the time being, and said to Thrace, who was next to him with an excited face: "I will now give you the first task, analyze the specific situation of this transport line to the Crown Tower!" "After saying that, he rode forward again~ After Selin stayed in Sunny Wind Village, the rarity of strategic talents under his command has become a heart disease for him, since he dug up the five Magisters of the Sun Temple, the leaders of the various legions in Silver Moon City are afraid to avoid him, for fear of being poached by him again, and completely cut off his thoughts from other legions, and Xie Feng is not willing to find outsiders as his henchmen, the best way is of course to be promoted from the Blood Knights, for this reason, he has been paying close attention to those elite blood knights, and so far, he finally let him find one

Although a proposal with a strong subjective will does not represent the talent of Thrace, if there is a first, there will be a second, and it is a big deal to buy a horse bone! And the current lack of Thracian ability does not mean that there is no potential, at least Xie Feng thinks that if there is no protagonist template, he will not be much better than him at the beginning.

With such a short episode, everyone seemed to be in high spirits for the rest of the journey, and Thyrus, who was named by Xie Feng, was even more like a chicken blood, carefully observing the situation of the guards along the way, his face changed, and he worked hard to complete the first task given by Xie Feng.

Far away from the vicinity of Blackwood Lake, from the foot of the northern part of the plague trace all the way through, although it is inevitable to entangle with a large number of undead creatures during the period, but fortunately there is a distance from the natural disaster stronghold, there is no great danger, and only a few miles away from the plague trace is a big pit, in addition to the giant plague bats and gargoyles that can fly, other undead want to rush up or bypass those narrow gentle slopes, the same can not pose any threat~ The situation is relatively optimistic, but there are still many loopholes, Xie Feng walked along the way, reading and secretly jotting down all the questions, and when he walked through the traces of the plague and arrived at the northwest corner, he was shocked and basically had a draft. Looking back at Thrace, who was still frowning and contemplative, he said in a deep voice~: "Tell me your opinion, how to do this transportation, how to ensure that nothing goes wrong?" ”

After being silent for a long time, Thrac shook his head with a wry smile and said: "There is no way, general, this road is absolutely impossible to be foolproof!" ”

Xie Feng's heart was slightly relieved. Judging from his performance just now, he was still worried that Thracian would be more impulsive and reckless, but now he seems to be quite calm and not carried away, and he can't help but have a smile on his face: "Then what do you think should be done to minimize the loss?" ”

"Perhaps" Thrace glanced at it a little hesitantly, saw Xie Feng's slightly encouraging eyes, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "General, maybe you can transport all the supplies at once!" ”

Xie Feng's face changed slightly, and he asked a little eagerly, "Why do you say that?" One-time transportation, if it is discovered by a natural disaster, it is definitely a catastrophe! ”

Although Xie Feng looked a little displeased, when it came to this, Thrace also let go, and simply said freely: "The first transportation line, most of the distances are under our control, far away from the natural disaster control area, it is difficult for them to intervene, we can transport slowly without problems, but this road is completely through the hinterland of natural disasters!" ”

Pointing to the road that had just come behind him: "The route formed between the plague scars and the mountains, as long as a few gentle slopes are blocked, there is no danger at all, but the speed of the convoy is not comparable to ours at all, what if it is blocked on this road?" ”

"The gentle slope of the Plague Trace is in the southwest, with the large Scourge Camp in Mushroom Valley, and the Scourge at the Blackwood Lake and Kaulin junction to the northwest."

"We are limited in numbers and cannot afford to lose too much, unless the task of transportation is handed over to Silver Dawn"

At this point, the meaning is clear. The safest part of the road is the narrow part of the road that has just been walked, but it is also the most dangerous section!

As long as you walk into this narrow corridor, the undead of the plague scars come around from the southwest to block the western exit, the natural disaster camp of the Mushroom Valley puts pressure on Maris Farm, the undead of Daron County attack the crown watchtower, and at the same time, the undead of Blackwood Lake block the eastern exit, and the Cowlin intersection is blocking the reinforcements of the chapel, then the convoy will be a situation where there is no way to enter the ground and no door, and the best situation is to abandon the materials and a small number of blood knights rush out~ The first transportation can catch the natural disaster by surprise and rush over. As long as it's not too lucky, it won't be a big problem, but what about the second time? Once they are prepared for a natural disaster, will the convoy still be able to walk right under their noses? Even if it succeeds, how many people will it lose? Can the Blood Knight afford it?

Although most of the Scourge Legion is composed of some brainless undead, the upper echelons are a group of out-and-out elite lichs and death knights, and they can't be expected to be a group of ninth-order powerhouses from mages, and they let the convoy pass safely every time

And a one-time delivery, although there are many dangers and variables, but the likelihood of success is also higher!

When discussing with Maxwell and the others, everyone was also more inclined to transport it at one time, rather than like the first transportation line, but this decision was a strategy made by many leaders of Silver Dawn and Xie Feng after referring to a lot of information, but now Thrace only walked once, and he could think of it

Xie Feng couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, he led this group of blood knights for half a year, and almost let this big fish slip under his nose~ He took a deep breath and said to Thrace with a solemn expression: "Perfect your plan!" If possible, it's up to you to plan this transport! Ignoring the astonished Thrace, he jumped out with the rest of the blood knights.

Delicate and thorough, with a flexible mind and amazing insight, although he only made two remarks, Xie Feng seemed to have seen a trace of the shadow of a top strategist from Cyros, this kind of brain-like task, variables All the high-level personnel of the blood elves, there is only the calculator Passareen!

It is true that Thrace at this time may be a little immature and not comprehensive enough, but the potential it shows has made Xie Feng feel a little jealous involuntarily, and the most important thing is that Passarena gives people the impression of being ruthless, and Thrace is also sensual and straightforward, although it is slightly impulsive, but it can reassure Xie Feng more! I don't have to worry about backlash

Unintentionally fell into such a big fish, Xie Feng, who was troubled by the red-clothed messenger and the predicament in front of him, was in an unprecedentedly good mood! Scrappy rushed in the direction of the Crown Tower.

A group of blood knights galloped along the foot of the mountain for a moment, and after a while, they turned to the foot of the mountain, and the top of the towering watchtower in the distance appeared in front of everyone. However, at this time, there was indeed a mess in front of the watchtower, and two undead spirits exuding the breath of death were fighting bloodily~ Two troops, one side was a well-equipped, well-trained, and tacit cooperation of pure undead soldiers, and the other side was a variety of natural disaster troops that were in their own formations and chaotic into a pot of porridge.

In front of the steps of the watchtower, a lich in frost robes was suspended on the ground, and under the guidance of a circle of cursed necromancers, he was afraid to release magic~~ And behind the group that was obviously on the side of the Forsaken, a thin, hunched undead archer, under the escort of two plague dogs the size of a calf, casually shot a long black arrow, and every time he shot, at least one necromancer could be nailed to the wall of the watchtower, and the lich could not do the slightest obstruction

Nathanos Blightcaster!
