Chapter 276: Raiders of the Eastern Plague Lands
Three days ago, in the Chapel of the Wish of Light, after discussions with Tairossos and others, a concrete joint plan was finalized.
The first step in the formation of the transportation line was for the Blood Elves to occupy the Northland Watchtower, then cut along the two mountains on the north side of the main road in the Eastern Plaguelands, avoiding the main range of activities of the Scourge, passing from Zul Masa to the North Vale, and then turning south through the Eastwall Watchtower to cross the dry river that divides the Eastern Plague, and transporting supplies to the Chapel of Light's Wish.
This is the safest part of the journey, completely avoiding the main road and the large number of undead around Lake Blackwood, it is also a considerable distance from Zulmasha, if the trolls want to attack, they have enough time to react, and the route is hidden, except for the animals contaminated by the plague and scattered undead along the way, there is no major danger at all, the only thing to worry about is a large number of relatively elite various natural disasters in the North Valley.
However, according to the original agreement, after Xie Feng left the chapel, Silver Dawn would rest and gather troops as soon as possible, and a day later he would cross the river to attack the East Wall watchtower, completely under his control, and then repair a little and begin to partially sweep the undead in the valley, and at the same time send a message to Xie Feng. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xie Feng sent people to escort the first batch of supplies to the East Wall Guard Tower according to the established route, so that the warriors of Silver Dawn could equip these weapons and armor on the spot.
As long as the first batch of supplies arrives, then Silver Dawn also has the confidence to launch a large-scale military operation, as long as it can clear the undead natural disaster in the North Valley in a short period of time, then in the face of the strong Silver Dawn, the trolls of the Rotten Moss tribe will not dare to attack the convoy, at that time, this transportation line can basically be said to be unimpeded, and the material reinforcement strategy of Silver Moon City can be regarded as completing the first strategic intent, which is only the first step!
After all, Silvermoon City gritted its teeth and sent troops not because of the righteous act of supporting Silver Dawn to eliminate the natural disaster, the reason for the incident was because of the invitation of the Banshee King, the transportation target of the blood elves' various materials, in addition to food and holy light magic materials, the rest had to transport a part of the Blightcaster Legion to Maris Farm, so the second step of the action plan is to consolidate the first transportation line at the same time, open up the second transportation line from the Chapel to Maris Farm!
Compared to the road from the Northland Watchtower to the Chapel, the second route made Xie Feng and the Silver Dawn commanders who were discussing so worried that they almost lost their hair~ On the first route, there was a large number of Beigu undead and eighty percent of the rotten moss trolls who didn't dare to do it, but what was on the second route? Traces of the Demon Blade and Traces of the Plague, not to mention a large number of monsters and natural disasters, the road that must be passed through is no less than the natural disaster town of Western Plague Andohal!
There may not be any lich in it, but a large number of cursed cultists and necromancers fill this gap perfectly, and there are either banshees or abominations, ghouls are rare, and compared to Kitaya, it is simply a world of difference, not at the same level at all! Even the Scarlet Crusaders are not willing to do it easily~ What about bypassing? On the back is also the Black Wood Lake and the Plague Trace, which are full of difficulties, and to the south is the vast Lake Miradar, where a group of plague-tainted elemental creatures are now occupied, and trying to pass it is a complete act of seeking death!
Even if you barely get through this hurdle, what's next? Another undead town in Talonshire! Fortunately, the undead here are not as perverted as those at the Cowling intersection, and they are still within the acceptable range, and they are not blocked on the road, although they still can't be taken lightly, but they can barely ignore the past.
And then what? Crown Tower! It's occupied by another group of Scourge legions, but don't worry too much, leave this to the Blightcaller. Fight your way through the levels, and at the end, before approaching Mares' Farm, there's one last level to face, the huge Scourge Camp in Mushroom Valley! Even the Blightburners have no choice but to hold on to them.
All of this suffering comes from the Scourge Legion, but there is another group of people to worry about when it comes to sending supplies to Mares' farm, the Scarlet Crusaders! This group of extremely undead hatred guys, if they knew that the materials were given to the forsaken, they would definitely not have any psychological pressure to become strong! Even if the Silver Dawn escorts, they still dare to do it!
After a night of discussion, the final result was for Tairosus to persuade Marlan and the Scarlet Crusade to contain the Scourge at the Cowlin Crossing, and then the Blightmill to occupy the Crown Watchtower, and the Forsaken to contain the Scourge camp in Mushroom Valley, and the supply team to make a way between Blackwood Lake and the Plague Trace, bypassing the Cowling Bitter Pass and Daron County, and connecting the Crown Watchtower with the Blightcall. This plan is successful, and the second step of Silvermoon City's strategy is completed!
What's next? It's Xie Feng's turn to worry about him coming forward as an intermediary to reconcile and pull the cooperation between the Forsaken and the Silver Dawn, and even the Scarlet Crusaders, so that the Banshee King's strategy can be implemented in the Plaguelands, and severely damage or suppress Stratholme's Scourge Legion! As for the extermination, didn't even the Banshee King dare to say it?
It's easy to say, although stumbling, but finally customized a goal that seems feasible, and everyone has the motivation to work towards this goal, but once it is implemented, there are loopholes everywhere, whether it can be successful, and everyone's efforts account for less than half, most of them depend on luck!
For example, the blood elf outpost battle in the northern sentry tower, the location is too close to the natural disaster lair, and the whole situation of a lonely army going deep, once the undead make up their minds, they can easily pull out this nail, so it was decided that Silvermoon City will increase troops here as soon as possible, and at the same time, adventurers from Silvermoon City will also be placed here, and at the same time, the Holy Light Brotherhood will also send some people to station here to assist in the counterattack of the natural disaster!
Next up is Kitaya, where the undead don't seem to have a boss and scattered, but the question is do the undead need to be formed? Just a few Death Knights and Lichs, the undead here are organized and disciplined enough for Silver Dawn to have a headache, otherwise he would have been able to stay under the nose of the chapel for so long?
Not to mention the possible chaos of the other Scarlet Crusaders, whether Tairosus can say that he can move Marlan, and whether Marlan can pry the army of Tyr's hand to attack the crossroads, these are all questions! Finally, add to this how long it will take for the Blightcaller Legion to gain a foothold in the flanks of Daron County and Mushroom Valley and take the Crown Tower
And all strategic deployments are based on one premise, that is, Ke is always a home! If he had been in a good mood that day, and had come out for a walk in Naxxramas, probably all the camps except the chapel would have been finished
Xie Feng, who was in a good mood after successfully taking the first step, suddenly had a feeling of accidentally swallowing a fly when he thought of this, and his mood really plummeted~ But in the face of the following old subordinates who trusted him, he couldn't show the slightest hesitation and hesitation on his face, but he had to put on a bull x look like a bamboo in his chest!
Packing up his thoughts, looking at the blood knights who were busy and enduring the pain, silently using the blood holy light to treat their injuries, Xie Feng sighed slightly in his heart, walked to the top of the guard tower, looked at the position of the chapel in the southeast direction and stood quietly for a long time, once again firming his heart, and asked the rangers to pay attention to the movements of the silver dawn, so as to implement the next plan~ returned to his temporary office in the guard tower, and after sitting for a while, the rangers came to report the news. Xie Feng was slightly overjoyed, thinking that Silver Dawn had sensed the movement here so quickly and sent someone over to negotiate with him, but the ranger's words were very unexpected to him~ "Report to my lord, in the northwest of us, there is a group of well-equipped undead who are fighting with a group of clansmen, and those clansmen seem, it seems to be the Silver Moon Ranger!" ”
"Silvermoon Ranger?" Xie Feng was slightly stunned, isn't that the Quellins Hut in the northwest direction? I was still thinking about co-opting them, but I didn't expect the natural disaster to do it first~ But this is just a good opportunity to get in touch with them! Thinking of this, his spirit shook slightly, and he asked, "What kind of profession are those undead people headed by?" How many people? ”
"Death Knight! There are about a hundred people, all of them elites, no worse than us and the Blood Knights! The Ranger Scout replied without hesitation, in a firm tone.
"Dead riding? Hundreds? Xie Feng's heart suddenly froze, and he suddenly thought that these undead were the two escaped death knights who came to take revenge, because their soldiers were elite and occupied favorable terrain, they didn't bring any cannon fodder, and all the soldiers they recruited were elite soldiers! As a result, I don't know why.、Fight with the rangers of Quellins Hut.
"Gather the soldiers, and call Valen to come and meet me!" Xie Feng immediately made up his mind and began to gather the soldiers and the leaders of his subordinates.
Moments later, three hundred Blood Knights rode down the Northland Watchtower on Quel'Salas' horses, and headed straight for Quellins Hut hidden among the mountains and forests, led by the Ranger Scout. This time, Xie Feng led all the most elite blood knights, each of whom was at the top of the fifth order, many of them were guys who had entered the sixth order with one foot, and the mage only brought Silentis alone. The other four Magisters and Blood Knights stayed behind to guard the watchtower under the leadership of Valen in case the Scourge hit the West.
After galloping on their horses, they came to a narrow mountain pass surrounded by trees, and walked in, some of the Eagle Feather Arrows of the Silver Moon Ranger were scattered everywhere, some fixed on the ground, some stuck in the surrounding trees. Xie Feng frowned slightly and asked the Ranger Scout:
"How did you find out here? And what about the undead? Is it the rangers here who fight to attack the undead? ”
"When we found out here, the rangers here were already fighting the undead, but they weren't any match at all, and the undead broke in under the leadership of a Death Knight, and after all this time, probably," the ranger replied.
Hearing this, Xie Feng suddenly felt strange, it seemed that the purpose of this group of undead was not himself, it was Quellins Hut at all, wasn't it the two death knights who escaped?
Although he was puzzled, he couldn't go back even if he had already arrived here, and he couldn't sit back and watch the undead scourge slaughter the rangers of Quellins Hut, so how could he help him. After making up his mind, he drew his greatsword and took the lead and rushed inside, followed by Sirendis and the Blood Knights
After walking hundreds of steps, turning a mountain wall, everyone found a group of blood elves lying on the ground with broken swords and bows, and at the same time, some undead breath and fluctuations in the power of ice, shadow magic and deadrider runes were also found around, thinking that it was a fierce battle.
But after a casual glance, Xie Feng's pupils contracted for a while, and the left hand holding the sword couldn't help but tighten. The ground is full of fallen elves, but there is not a single undead figure, the strength of this group of invaders is definitely more terrifying than they imagined, and the rangers of the hut cannot pose a threat to them at all!
At this moment, the ranger scout who came with the team stepped forward to investigate, and then said in surprise: "My lord, these clansmen are alive!" They just got knocked out."
"Alive?" Xie Feng was slightly stunned, and hurriedly walked over to investigate one by one, only to find that although the elves who fell to the ground were all seriously injured and dying, they all had a breath left, even if they ignored it, they couldn't die within an hour or two, and some of them were too seriously injured and bandaged indiscriminately, but they couldn't fight for a long time
Although he was slightly surprised, but then there was a burst of doubt, and he was stunned after beating them to serious injuries, indicating that in the face of this group of invaders, the rangers were not without the slightest strength to fight back, and these invaders obviously left room for action, indicating that they didn't want to kill these rangers, but it was not the style of the group of living enemies of the Scourge Legion at all! maybe
"They are the Forsaken!" Sirendis suddenly appeared beside Xie Feng, holding a violet arcane lightsaber, and said softly.
Xie Feng nodded, and only this explanation could be passed, frowning and thinking slightly, and muttering in a low voice: "Quellins was attacked by the Forsaken Ranger" The more he thought about it, his eyes became brighter and brighter, but his face became worse and worse, and finally Huo got up and scolded: "Nathanos, you bastard!" I'm not done with you~"
When he was in the Eastern Plague fight, the 'Dogger' withered with an extremely mad tone, and when he thought about it, he had a mission to get a so-called thing from the Quellins Hut, and only this mission would make the High Elf Ranger who the Forsaken attack the Quellins Hut Don't think about it, these powerful undead must be the elite of the Blightcaster Legion sent by this bastard, in order to get that hellish proof!
Figuring out the reason for the matter, leaving a few people here to take care of the injured rangers, Xie Feng led the people to quickly rush into the valley, and met two more in the battle scene like just now, the same group of seriously injured rangers who lost their ability to resist were knocked unconscious, and they were randomly piled up in a corner, and the blood knights who watched gritted their teeth one by one
