Chapter 362: Follow-up
Once a rich and prosperous granary of Lordaeron, it is now a desolate and filthy western plague land.
Leaving the gloomy Tirisfal Glade, hundreds of thousands of Lordaeron Northern Legion soldiers were like a long steel dragon, silently and quickly walking through this land that seemed to have experienced vicissitudes.
On the small hill beside the road, with the Excalibur on his back and sitting on horseback, Mograini looked over the devastated land with a solemn face, and looked at the horizon at the end of the eastern line of sight for a long time.
Four days had passed since that negotiation in Lordaeron's court.
After all, the Scarlet Crusaders under the control of the old Mograine did not tear their faces with the Forsaken with the support of the Minotaur after a fierce battle with the undead Scourge and fought each other with swords.
It's not because I'm afraid of Old Tang's clear protection and threat, and it's not because I'm afraid of the huge advantage of the forsaken's high-end combat power......
What really made the "Ash Messenger", who had always been tough-minded, accept the final mention of Old Tang and quickly lead the team to evacuate Lordaeron and return to the plague land, was just a sudden emergency military situation......
The Undead Scourge strikes the Hand of Tyr!
……
"Alexander ......"
A soft call rang in the ears of the Ember Bringer. Behind old Mograine, Ethan Lien, dressed in a red and white priest's robe, gently pulled the reins of his horse, leaned over to the old man's side, and said in a deep voice:
"There's new information from Dasuohan's messenger......"
Turning his head quickly, old Mograine's eyes tightened, and he put away the worries in his heart and listened attentively.
"The vanguard has crossed the Sodoril River and reached the Crown Tower, but ...... According to the scouts' inquiries, the Cowlin intersection has been occupied by a large number of undead natural disasters, estimated to be no less than 30,000. As for the walking dead who were rushing to the Hand of Tyre from other directions...... Countless. ”
"The Hands of Tyr are not well armed, and now they are under siege...... Abydis is in danger! ”
……
Grand Lord Mograini, Grand Inspector Ethan Lien, Grand General Abydis, and Grand Crusader Dasohan...... These four are now the leaders and leaders of the Scarlet Crusade. is not only the robe that once shared life and death on the battlefield of orcs, but also an old friend who has always been inseparable and supported each other
From youth to middle age, and now that their children have grown up, they are about to enter their twilight years. Decades of deep friendship are enough to make their relationship comparable to that of their biological brothers.
And now that the base has been suddenly attacked, and the old friend is in deep danger, it is no wonder that the elder Mograine and Ethanlien look grim and uneasy.
It also explains why, after the Grand Crusader Dasuhan suddenly heard of this urgent military situation, he gathered all the cavalry in the team without saying a word, and set out on the way back without stopping. Trying to solve the crisis.
In contrast, it naturally became irrelevant whether or not to occupy the dangerous city of Lordaeron's ruins, or whether to continue to confront the Forsaken......
At this moment, the Grand Prosecutor Ethan Lien had a solemn face, and after a long time, he adjusted his feelings and continued:
"The vanguard army is underwhelmed, and only more than 23,000 cavalry are simply unable to break through the blockade of the undead and rush to the hands of Tyre in time. Da Sohan has sent news urging us to speed up and join the battlefield as soon as possible. ”
The Scarlet Crusaders who had just been built not long ago. Today's foundation is not thick.
Although it has been nearly a year, thanks to the efforts of the remaining paladins of the Silver Boat, the Hand of Tyr has also gathered nearly two or three hundred thousand Lordaeron refugees. But the vast majority of them are old and weak, women and children. Most of the young people died in the battle to protect their parents and wives and children, and they died under the fangs and claws of the undead natural disaster......
In addition, this time, the Scarlet Crusaders rushed to Lordaeron to respond to Garethus's orders, because of the lack of troops, in order to break through the undead raging along the way, the four giants dispatched three of them. Only Abidis, who was more adept at commanding operations, remained in the hands of Tyr in case of the undead Scourge.
It can be said that the current Hand of Tyr, the stronghold of the Scarlet Crusaders, is the time when high-end combat power is scarce.
On the other hand, the strength of the Scarlet Crusaders is definitely not abundant now, and it is not worth mentioning compared to the undead scourge......
Veterans who have experience in the battlefield, and rookies who have just undergone a period of training and have not yet been on the battlefield. Together, it's only 30,000 or 40,000 people!
This is also the reason why at the negotiation table, Mograini will be tempted by the mention of Lao Tang's final "force for the city"!
Although Garissus has a lot of problems in his personality and temperament, he can ascend to the position of marshal, and his ability will naturally not be useless.
Not to mention anything else, just for the training of soldiers, Garissus does have his arrogance and arrogance.
Hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the Northern Army of Lordaeron. Although it is not a division of tigers and wolves, they are all elite soldiers and strong generals with rich combat experience.
With these hundreds of thousands of regular troops with reliable combat effectiveness as their support and confidence, even in the plague land where the undead are raging, the Scarlet Crusaders are enough to gain a firm foothold.
Even as Old Tang said, save more of the remnants of Lordaeron, and save more blood and bones for this ancient kingdom that has been played by fate.......
Garissus's head was cracked open by Don Sr., and the Forsaken troops who had followed him into Lordaeron were leaderless and on the verge of disintegration.
Among the human generals present, Alessandro Mograini, who was the strongest, the highest-ranked, the most prestigious, and the most senior, naturally took over the position of Garithars in the promotion and support of the soldiers and became the new commander of the Northern Army.
In this way, as long as the Forsaken and the Minotaur did not undermine it, it would be logical and effortless for the Scarlet Crusaders, or Old Mograine, to take the Northern Legion under their command.
……
"Have you found out who is the commander of this attack of the Undead Scourge?"
Ethan Lien's worries also flooded Mograini's mind. But worrying about that won't solve anything now. The "Ember Bringer" changed his mind and began to ask for key information:
"According to the information provided by the Forsaken, the Fatherkiller has traveled to Northrend. So who else in the Plague Lands has such a big deal at this moment? ”
"It's the Great Lich Kel'thugad!" Old Mograini's question was answered by the Grand Inspector through gritted teeth. "This is the information that a team of griffon knights risked their lives to break through to Da Sohan!"
"The Lich King's brains?"
A familiar name came to Lao Mo's mind. Whispering, Mograini had already given the order decisively: "Esenlian, order the troops to speed up the march without delay!" ”
"By tomorrow evening, we must set foot in the Western Plaguelands!"
Listening to the sound of the horse's hooves as Esenlien turned away, and looking at the speed of the march that had suddenly increased a moment later, old Mograine's strong hand had already touched the hilt of the Ash Bringer's sword, and said to himself:
"The Great Lich of the Hero Median...... It's a bit of a hassle."
"But..."
Old Mograine's eyes flashed with a cold light, and the next second he said with a murderous voice:
"With the beginning of his final revenge on the Scourge...... Just right...... In front is the inner ring of Violet Castle. It is also the place where the Mage Towers of the members of the Council of the Six Kenrito are located. ”
When the Scarlet Crusaders are in trouble, the Ashbringer is in awe. Under the towering purple-gold tower, the elven prince in a blood-red robe slowly turned around, looking at the two "blood elf compatriots" who were closely following behind him, a man and a woman, showing a slightly reluctant smile.
"I'll send you here."
"The city ...... There are so many memories for me that I don't want to recall...... There are also too many guys that I hate. I won't be with you. ”
Look at familiar and unfamiliar buildings and landscapes. The elven prince's face was a mixture of loneliness, hatred, disgust, and remembrance.
"I've already inquired for you just now, and the small courtyard next to the red-roofed mage tower is their mansion."
The slender fingers pointed in the direction of the two "blood elf compatriots", and Kael'thas hesitated for a moment, and then cautiously instructed:
"The damage done to Dalaran by Akmund and the Scourge of the Dead is far more severe than I expected. At times like these, Dalaran will be much stricter in his examination of visitors, so you must be cautious......"
"I'll be waiting for you at the place where we first met. Do you remember that chamber, Goode? ”
As he spoke, the elven prince's gaze fell on the face of the "male blood elf mage" in Sindore's robes.
And the male elf is none other than the old Tang who used the fraud orb!
"Don't worry, we'll be careful."
"If nothing else, we'll meet you before dark."
Gently patting Kael'thas on the shoulder, Old Tang had a rare stern face.
Kael'thas * The Sunchaser had been with Don the night before.
Secretly coming with the elven prince, there are two other "old acquaintances" who brought Tang an unexpected joy:
Demon Hunter. Illidan!
Enchantress of the Deep, Vasqui!
And after asking two strong men who have lived for tens of thousands of years to help take care of the two big bats that are not very peaceful. Old Tang pulled Kael'thas, the "strong man", and began to practice the idea that had been in his mind for a long time......
"Let Illidan seniors get ready, and we'll do it as soon as we get back!" Old Tang, who looked like a blood elf "weak", thought about it again, and also opened his mouth to instruct: "Those two big bats are definitely a scourge, and they must be killed as soon as possible!" ”
"Don't worry, they can't run!"
The elf prince nodded with a stern face, and then bowed slightly gracefully, and turned to leave.
"What the hell are you hiding from me, Goode?"
It was only then that the silent "companion" in a black cloak beside Old Tang stared at Old Tang with a puzzled expression. In a slightly gloomy and hoarse voice, he asked in a deep voice:
"Calm down, Sheena!"
Unimpressed by the interrogation of his "companion", Old Tang turned his head to stare at the eyes that were as bright as morning stars under the cloak, the corners of his mouth slightly hooked a touch of arc, and gently took the hand of Her Majesty the Queen and whispered:
"Follow me."
"I'll take you to see two people ......" (.Vote for recommendation votes, monthly passes.) Your support is my biggest motivation. )V
