Chapter 80: The Way Home
Antonidas and Mograini rushed to the battlefield one after the other. But apart from a few sporadic Scourge soldiers, there are no more threatening enemies here. The battlefield was a mess, and as far as the eye could see, there were wounded soldiers everywhere.
Jiang Weihan's right arm was broken, and the gem knight Tariq used his unique gem magic to create a plaster cast around that arm, which was fastened with a bandage and hung on his chest.
Quinn is no longer in critical condition after being treated by Tariq, but he is still unconscious. Kyle is also asleep. The angels told Jiang Weihan that they could use guΓ² in this way to recover lost mental strength and injuries.
General Du Minglun, the commander of the garrison of Andohar, was also seriously injured, with several broken ribs and a broken ankle, and is now lying on a stretcher. Of the more than a thousand people he brought, there were only more than four hundred survivors, except for the dwarves of the mortar squad who did not suffer much losses. More than sixty percent of the battle was damaged.
The slopes of this great battle were almost covered with blood and severed limbs.
The Jewel Knight is weaving among the wounded, soothing their wounds and healing them one by one.
Antonidas walked up to Jiang Weihan and said with concern, "How is your injury?" β
"I'm fine, it'll be fine in two days." Jiang Weihan waved his hand, and then said worriedly, "But Brocks was rescued." He must still have a large amount of plague venom on him. β
"It was a mysterious mage, right? He was the one who thwarted us during the day. Antonidas guessed the reason at once.
Jiang Weihan nodded: "That's right, but it's not a mysterious mage." Eight achievements are Darkan! β
"Darkan?" Antonidas is not very familiar with the name. He had never been to Silvermoon City, so naturally he didn't know about the mage hero of Silvermoon City, which was deeply admired by the High Elves.
"Darkan Drahir, Speaker of the High Elf Silvermoon City Council. He, like Kel'thugad, has fallen by the Lich King. I warned Kael'thas the last time I went to Dalaran, but he never seemed to have returned? Jiang Weihan frowned, the mage just now had basically been determined to be Darkan.
No matter how the world changes, the trend is probably still the same. At this point in time, he is the only elven mage who has taken refuge in the Lich King and is powerful in his own right!
"Didn't come back, didn't communicate with us." Antonidas shook his head, he didn't know what was going on with Kael'thas as a Kenrito Councillor. Kael'thas had been away from Dalaran for some time and had not heard back.
Since Darkan has been transformed into a necromancer, it means that he should have been debunked in Silvermoon City. But why hasn't Kael'thas ever returned to the league?
Jiang Weihan thought to himself that something might have happened in the middle.
Mograine kicked Anubrak's corpse and asked, "This is the corpse of the beetle leader, right?" β
"It's it, named Anubarak, the former king of the Northrend Spider Kingdom. After its kingdom fell to the Lich King, it became a subordinate of the Lich King. Jiang Weihan nodded and briefly introduced the brief information of this natural disaster hero who died here.
"By the way," Jiang Weihan patted his head, remembering that there were still two barrels of plague venom that had not been disposed of, "Brooks threw two barrels of plague venom here before, one of which I caught with the wind and buried it in the tunnel below, and the other barrel was taken away by Hua Luo, the falcon. Please deal with it! β
After Hua Luo heard Jiang Weihan's call, he reluctantly rubbed his head against Quinn's face in a coma, and then flew up to lead the way for the ** division.
When the first qiΔ was done, the army began to prepare for camping. Jiang Weihan hurriedly ate something, went to visit Quinn and Kyle, and found that they were breathing steadily and out of danger, so he was a little relieved. After that, he got into the tent and fell asleep.
The day was too long and consumed all his energy. But as soon as he closed his eyes, the scene of Quinn desperately rushing towards Anubarak, the scene of Kyle turning around and using his body to block the flame blast technique, and the sacrifice of those ordinary soldiers who bravely rushed forward to delay time, all kept coming to Jiang Weihan's mind.
He subconsciously grabbed Valoran's heart in his chest, immersed himself in it again, and called out Kieran, the guardian of time. Every time he had doubts, the white-bearded old man would help him. For a long time, Kieran has become his spiritual pillar.
"You look a little wolfy." Kieran's image appeared, and he looked at him.
Jiang Weihan frowned, told SΓΉ Kiran what happened today, and finally asked, "Am I a crappy commander?" β
Regardless of his bad mood, Kieran quipped, "Did you come to me for comfort?" β
Jiang Weihan opened his mouth and was speechless.
"Sometimes, even the right decision can lead to the wrong outcome. You can recognize your mistakes and correct them. Kiran teased him, but still said comforting words, "The future is always changing. It's impossible to go as you budgeted. If something unexpected happens, you should not think about whether you are prepared enough, but how to deal with it properly. Do you understand? β
"Deal with ...... correctly" Jiang Weihan pondered, indeed, it seems that there is so much chaos today, isn't it probably that he didn't deal with it correctly? Several chances to undo those mistakes were wasted by him.
Jiang Weihan perked up, stared at Kiran and said, "I understand!" β
"It's good to understand." Kieran nodded, feeling that his duty was done and that he could almost disappear.
Who knew that Jiang Weihan immediately stopped him and asked another question: "I found that my own strength is too low today, is there any way to improve myself?" β
Kieran replied affirmatively, "Yes." β
"What's that?"
"That's up to you." Kiran said something that Jiang Weihan couldn't figure out, "When we first summoned you with Valoran's Heart, we assumed that you were a hero. You've now cobbled together a hero-like level of strength with some abilities you've gotten from me, Kyle, and Cenarius, but that's not the way you're going to go. Every hero should have their own unique hero's path! Find it and you'll be strong! β
After answering, Kiran disappeared again without waiting for him to continue asking.
Jiang Weihan originally planned to stop him, but he thought that Kiran would definitely not want to give more hints, so he had no choice but to give up.
"My hero's path?" Jiang Weihan muttered to himself. "What should that be?"
β¦β¦
Antonidas counted the gains and losses of this battle from the battle report.
The purpose of this campaign was to destroy Kel'thugad and destroy the Plague Venom. Although the previous one has been achieved, the more important Plague Venom has been taken away by Brooks. In terms of purpose, the operation was a failure.
The northern line, which was supposed to be quite solid, was completely crushed during the daytime battle. Nearly half of the 10,000-strong integrated troops were damaged. If it hadn't been for the early reinforcements from the southern front, I'm afraid the result would have been even worse.
Mage Dalaran's troops, who were also involved in the fighting on the northern front, also suffered heavy casualties. During the crypt demon's burrowing raid, many elite mages were killed without resistance. This is still due to the fact that Lux reacted in time to open a stealth barrier, otherwise the loss would be immeasurable.
Needless to say, the defenders of Andohal had just over a third of Du Minglun's more than 1,000-strong troops left, almost crippled. Two nearby human villages were also slaughtered by the undead and orcs.
Even Jiang Weihan's Valoran heroes almost capsized in the gutter.
Antonidas looked at the shocking statistics. Knowing that this is just the tip of the iceberg of the Lich King's strength.
It seems that at the next alliance meeting, this battle report should make the other kings really pay attention to the threat of natural disasters!
If you talk about it, not all the heroes under Jiang Weihan's command have been damaged, but there is one person who has gained a lot of benefits.
Karthas, the carol of death, locked himself in a tent and forbade outsiders to disturb him. He took out Meja's Soul Stealing Scroll, on which three powerful souls had now been collected. From the Lich Kel'thugad, the Death Knight Rivendell, and the Cryptlord Anubrak.
Among them, Rivendell's strength is slightly weaker, just enough to be absorbed by the Soul Stealing Scroll. The other two are considered to be relatively powerful storage zΓ i.
As long as Karthas absorbs the power in it, his strength will be greatly improved.
Before joining League of Legends, he was a demigod with few rivals in the Land of Runeterra. But because the League of Legends suppressed his strength, he only has heroic-level strength when he comes to this world now. Although relying on his own characteristics is more powerful than ordinary heroes, it is still far from his peak.
"More powerful souls are needed." Karthas muttered silently, remembering memories he had absorbed from Gul'dan's skull, which mentioned that the tomb of Sargeras contained the secret of obtaining the Godhead. There was a longing glint in his eyes, "If the power of divinity is absorbed by me, I will be able to regain my peak - it seems that I will have to persuade the commander." β
The next day, the camp was left partially to clean up the aftermath, and the large force began to retreat.
The aftermath is mainly disposed of by those who are moralized: those belonging to the undead will be burned together, while those belonging to the war-dead will be burned separately to make an urn and sent back to their families.
Jiang Weihan sat in the carriage and saw a group of sad-looking villagers also rushing over there, and there was a familiar figure among them: it was little Timmy who had come down from the hands of the jackals.
Little Timmy took the middle-aged uncle's hand and asked innocently, "Uncle John, why didn't Mom and Dad come to pick us up?" β
The middle-aged uncle said in a deep voice: "They are asleep, we will take them back to sleep." β
