The Plaguelands, the true lair of the Lordaeron Scourge Legion, if Icecrown Fortress is the capital of the Northrend Scourge, then the capital of the Azeroth Scourge, Stratholm deserves it! Countless powerful Scourge generals and powerhouses led by Baron Rivendell have gathered here, giving Silver Dawn and the Scarlet Crusaders a great headache, and now, the arrival of the Great Lich Kel'thugad and his floating castle Naxxramas has filled the skies of the Plaguelands with fear!

However, the reason why the plague land is terrifying is not only because of the gathering of the strong men of the Scourge Legion, but more importantly, it was once the most prosperous area in Northern Lordaeron, and after the invasion of the Plague, countless creatures were buried here, becoming zombies and skeletons roaming here day and night, so that any lich or death knight came out and gathered thousands of undead anywhere in the Eastern Plague Lands in an instant! Although he could only become cannon fodder, the tactics of the Sea of the Dead at that time would never be outdated~ Xie Feng led the team into the Plague Land, and the first target was an abandoned military tower and the Northland Sentinel Tower located at the entrance! In this place where the natural disaster gathers, it is obviously a bit impractical to establish a new military base, and the best way is to find a ready-made building to live in~ Although the Beidi sentry tower is dilapidated, it will not be idle to demolish the building after the natural disaster occupies here, so the main body of the tower has largely survived.

Coupled with the high terrain and broken walls, a little repair can make it a fairly solid base! In addition, it is said that the Duchesses Bramux and Ser Serrijek of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse of Naxxramas staged a poignant love soap opera in front of this watchtower, and the villains are Les Frost and Baron Rivendell, a group of soldiers of the Scourge and the Silver Dawn run the show, and the scale is quite grand, shaking the entire Eastern Plague Lands

However, it is not known whether this is a fact or an apocryphal fabrication, Xie Feng only knows that there is a group of regular troops of the Scourge Legion stationed there, in order to harass the supplies of the Scarlet Crusaders of the Hand of Tyr to the Scarlet Region of Stratholme, and want to occupy the watchtower, not only to destroy this group of undead who are certainly not weak, but also to guard against their counterattack! After all, the location of this watchtower is too important, and the baron and Ke will not give up easily if they are not fools.

In less than half an hour, hundreds of idle wandering undead were still eliminated on the way forward, which added even more to the gloom in Xie Feng's head. The rangers who explored the path ahead had already reported that there were about 300 elite ghouls, gargoyles, cursed cultists and other elite natural disasters stationed in the Northland watchtower, and even suspected that there would be a death knight inside! In this situation, if the enemy cannot be destroyed in a short period of time, once the dead rider blows the horn of winter and summons the undead, his more than 1,000 people will be drowned in less than a quarter of an hour

I sighed slightly in my heart, I didn't expect to enter the Plague Land and face this kind of bitter battle in the first game~~ But there is nothing to complain about when you think about it, the location of the Northland Sentry Tower is too critical, Silver Dawn wants to fight the Scourge Legion, and it must pass through here, and the Scourge wants to fight the Silver Dawn and the Blood Crusader, and it also can't escape the eyes of the army stationed here, and this sentry tower also controls the road to the Wraithland, monitors the appearance of the army of Silvermoon City and Zu Aman, and can also guard against Zulmasha and Quellins Hut

The more Xie Feng thought about it, the more headache he felt, according to this development, the defenders here would definitely not be weak! The reason why he chose this location as a stronghold was that he was instigated by the bastard of Colfax, which, according to him, was dangerous, but the location was quite advantageous, and it was frequented by the Silver Dawn and the Scarlet Crusaders, and was rarely controlled by natural disasters. But now Xie Feng has an urge to strangle that bastard~ But no matter what, the plan has been formulated, and if you change it, it will be too big and the gains will outweigh the losses, and this bitter fruit can only be swallowed by vomiting blood

Continue to move forward for about a quarter of an hour, on the high slope on the left side of the road, a huge tower stands majestically, several hideous and ugly gargoyles hovering and speeding over the tower, closely watching the surrounding situation, due to the visual angle problem, the situation inside and outside the tower Xie Feng does not know, but the strong aura of death that exudes still makes him clearly feel the strength of the natural disaster inside

At the same time as the blood elf team appeared, several gargoyles immediately let out a series of rapid hissing sounds, and after separating one and falling into the tower, the others all flew over the blood knight team~~ Xie Feng could only smile bitterly at this, the road is just like this, and the location where the tower is built is a high slope, and the field of vision is wide, the team can't hide from the eyes and ears of the undead at all, no matter how they go, they will be discovered, and there is no possibility of a surprise attack at all!

Seeing the gargoyle flying into the sky above him to provoke and reconnoitre, Xie Feng pouted helplessly, motioned to several elite rangers around him to shoot, shot these damn things down, and then called the blood knights behind him, stepped up the pace of action, and quickly moved towards the true side of the tower

The rangers suddenly attacked, and the gargoyles were caught off guard and suffered heavy casualties in a round of attacks, and in the end, only two or three of them had a few arrows stuck in their bodies, and they staggered and barely flew back, but before Xie Feng could be happy, a low horn sound came from the watchtower, like the howling of the arctic cold wind, with a bone-chilling chill and an awe-inspiring death breath, and swept away the death knight and the winter horn in the surroundings!

Xie Feng almost scolded, this is simply cheating! Don't give yourself a chance at all!? Everywhere the sound of the horn was heard, the various undead who were originally misty and wandering unconsciously, suddenly stirred, and then moved their steps slowly, rushing towards the direction of the watchtower I don't know how many in the distance, but where Xie Feng entered his eyes, there were no less than five hundred such undead who obeyed the call of the Death Lord!

There is no way, now I can only fight for time to see if I can build the watchtower before a large number of undead rush over after hearing the news, otherwise I can only retreat to the land of ghosts and wait for the opportunity.

The Blood Knights, who did not need to be urged to see the current predicament, were at full speed, and they followed the Lord General and quickly advanced, destroying the undead who surrounded them on the way, and in a moment they had already reached the steep slope in front of the main entrance of the tower. In front of the eyes, hundreds of ghouls who were obviously one size larger lined up neatly in front of the gently sloping steps leading to the tower, and more than a dozen necromancers in black cloaks behind them, surrounded by two black-armored knights sitting on death horses, one in front of the other and one behind, all the undead in the sentry tower were already in full array!

The terrain of the undead array also made Xie Feng helpless for a while, the entrance to the tower was a fan-shaped gentle slope, narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, the death knight was just blocked on the narrowest section of the road, Xie Feng wanted to attack, and the most people who could contact him head-on were thirty or forty people, but so many of his subordinates and materials were crowded on the steep slope and scattered a large area, and the undead who came over were just able to completely encircle and outflank, and when the time came, about half of the manpower would be divided to guard the rear

The Death Knight on the opposite side is obviously an excellent commander of the battle formation, judging the speed of himself and the undead just right, and putting himself at a disadvantage with a single move

When you meet on a narrow road, the brave wins! Since it has reached this point, Xie Feng didn't think much about it, he didn't even say hello, and directly ordered an attack~ This kind of terrain that rushes upwards is not conducive to the performance of cavalry, so Xie Feng also turned over and got off the wolf, and led the blood knights to charge on foot. Just halfway through the journey, the necromancer on the opposite side and the four magisters of the formation, such as Sirendis and Darennis, shot at the same time, taking advantage of the fact that the two sides had not yet met in short combat, and poured magic wantonly~ However, compared to the mages and upper-level elf ** masters from the Blood Elf Magister Legion, those cursed cultists who were mass-produced by the psychic academy were not enough to see at all, the blood knights were slightly damaged, but not a single person left the team, and those ghouls were beaten in a scattered manner, and the formation that was barely put up was suddenly chaotic

Immediately after, Xie Feng just used his giant sword to block a shadow arrow that came over and rushed out of the opponent's magic blockade, and the two death knights stepped forward at the same time, among them, the one who stood in front and seemed to be the leader walked behind the ghoul and shouted, a layer of blue magic shield rose out of thin air and intercepted all the magic that all the undead protectors and mages had beaten outside the shield, while the other death knight pointed at the blood knight's feet, a layer of red light appeared on the ground, and the knights' charging momentum was suddenly stunned! Xie Feng only felt a tingling and tingling pain in his legs, and at the same time, his physical strength quickly drained from his feet and poured into the ground

Damn, Xie Feng scolded in a low voice, swung his sword and stomped hard with his left foot, a circle of divine flames ignited from the ground, the speed of physical loss suddenly decreased, and the pace of the charge increased again. Most of the other blood knights had fought with Xie Feng and knew that he had let the soldiers step on the dedication to advance, and at this time, seeing that he was useful again, one by one, the ground was full of the divine light of the dedication fire, and that layer of red light did not even have the ability to struggle, it dissipated in an instant, and everyone recovered again.

Ahead, the magic shield used by the Death Knights under the full attack of the Magus disappeared after only a moment, but the ghouls also rushed out and became entangled with the Blood Knights, so that the dual mages could no longer attack with range, and the relatively weak undead side would undoubtedly have a big advantage.

However, to the surprise of the Death Knight Commander, the mages brought by Xie Feng were not ordinary arcanists, but a group of powerful mages, who used single attack magic without using range magic, which was even more powerful, and immediately caught him off guard and was in a hurry, and finally put up a green rune shield on his body, which was to get out of the predicament.

On the main battlefield, the group of seemingly elite ghouls are also no match for the elite blood knights, and the paladins have suppressed the undead, not to mention this group of blood knights with more urgent attack power? In a matter of moments, the ghouls were down a little bit. Just when Xie Feng breathed a sigh of relief, the Death Knight Commander made another new move, ignoring the attacks of the Magus, and facing the corpses of the ghouls who were killed by the Blood Knights and fell among them

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" A series of dull explosions sounded, and the corpses of the ghouls that fell to the ground exploded one after another, taking the blood knights by surprise, and several people fell on the spot, and then several people were knocked over again by the ghouls who took advantage of the gap, and the rest of the blood knights were also vomiting blood and injured, and they were beaten and retreated.

Xie Feng was almost crazy! If you want to say that the skills of the death knight are also very familiar to him, but the problem is that since the appearance of the death knight, the corpse explosion has always been a side skill, that is, the death riders themselves have mostly looked into the corner, and the national uniform with egg pain is shrouded by the river crab god, and the bones are full of flesh, not to mention the corpses scattered everywhere? But I didn't expect to be negligent for a while, but now I am capsizing in the gutter here, resisting the urge to vomit blood, and condensing the holy light energy in my body with all my strength bursting out in a circle~ A golden storm of divine energy rolled up in the middle of the battlefield, and most of the undead who were hit were torn to pieces, but the blood knights were safe and sound, not only that, but the scars on their bodies that were exploded by the corpses healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and their morale was boosted again!

Xie Feng finished his skills, and just came to break through in a breath, his body was suddenly imprisoned by a layer of death energy, and then it was quickly pulled, and after a whirlwind, the death knight appeared in front of him from the long sword flashing with blood-colored runes, and instinctively raised the giant sword in his hand to block it in front of him, and occasionally blocked the opponent's attack, and at the same time, he also understood in his heart what trick he had hit. Taking advantage of the gap, the surrounding blood knights were indeed replaced by grinning ghouls and necromancers who retreated from Queen Cang

Immediately afterwards, the hammer of sanction struck at the reluctant death knight on the opposite side, but the other party only paused, and a layer of green shield appeared on his body, and he recovered again, not only that, but also threw out a cloud of black energy with his backhand, which appeared in Xie Feng's throat in the blink of an eye, blocking him for a while, and the holy light energy that had just been condensed also dissipated in his body

Xie Feng almost vomited blood, but he didn't even have the ability to vomit blood: it was all blocked by the energy mass in his throat. "The Holy Light energy can't be used, and now all that can be used is pure spiritual power and ** ability." Xie Feng immediately moved with color and thought, and a layer of azure light appeared from the body of the Dead Rider, and then exploded rapidly

It's fair now! The two black and white riders who also couldn't use any energy looked angry and bombarded each other with ** energy and skills alone, but the result was Xie Feng's possession! This death knight is on par with him in terms of strength alone, but after all, Xie Feng has been carefully taught by bulls such as Kukaron and King Sarufar, and his combat instincts and skills are not at all comparable to this dead knight, and he was beaten in a hurry after a few moves, and even the helmet head was shot down, if it wasn't for the harassment of necromancers and ghouls, he would have gone to see the Lich King at this time!

Now Xie Feng is very happy! Just as he was about to make persistent efforts, there was a sudden sound of rapid breaking of the air behind him, and he felt a chill in his back, and he threw himself to the left without thinking about it, and then gradually rolled several times before standing up and concentrating on guard.

By the time he saw the situation, the Death Knight Commander was riding a white-boned griffin, pulling the knight's servant in one hand and carrying a rune sword glowing green in the other, gradually moving away, and on the main battlefield, the Blood Knights had already beaten the ghouls to pieces, the remaining gargoyles were singled out by the rangers, and the last necromancer was also knocked away by Darennis's arcane impact, and crashed into the wall in a humanoid form

Seeing that the battle had been won, and the blood knights had begun to clean up the battlefield, Xie Feng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and with palpitations, he removed the shredded cloak behind his back, and when he reached out, a one-foot-long and about finger-deep sword mark had already appeared on the hard triumphant suit, supported by only a thin layer of iron sheet, but it was not pierced If it was replaced with the armor of King Sarufar, Xie Feng would definitely be divided on the spot!

Moreover, when he was shot down from the helmet just now, he glanced at the face of the dead rider, and he always felt that he had seen that face somewhere, but he couldn't figure out who had come to the plague and disappeared after looking at the blood elves he was familiar with

He frowned and thought about it, the Blood Knights had already carried the wounded out and placed them, and under the command of the captains, they skillfully cleaned the battlefield and transported the supplies through the walls around the tower. The blood knights who defended the undead at the rear had returned, and although the undead who were summoned by the horn of cold winter had indeed dispersed nearly half of Xie Feng's forces, the remaining half was not something that the death knights could resist, and as soon as the two fled, the undead also retreated, and began to wander aimlessly again.

The Blood Knights, all in place and uninjured, were on guard near the watchtower, and the Ranger Scouts were scattered around to find out the news.

Xie Feng let go of his thoughts about the knight's subordination, turned around and commanded the soldiers to start building a forward base. The Northland Watchtower is located on a steep slope on three sides, and on the other side is a gentle slope raised by the Blood Knights, the top of the slope is a wide flat land, with a short but sturdy wall along the cliff, and in the middle is a towering watchtower tower, which is dilapidated but after all, it is a military building of Lordaeron, much stronger than some of the projects that cut corners, and is not at all afraid of collapsing, at least not lying sideways

Although the tower is large, it is still a bit nonsense to live in thousands of people, at most two or three hundred people can be squeezed in, but there is a considerable gap between the tower and the wall, and some huts and warehouses can be built, and the soldiers at least do not have to sleep in the open, and the materials can be stored temporarily.

The main tower is divided into four floors, the first floor is used as a ward for the ordinary wounded, the second floor houses the seriously wounded, and the third floor is for Xie Feng and several magisters to rest and work, and the top floor belongs to the rangers! The terrain of the earth slope where the tower is located is already high, plus the height of the watchtower, and the wind and grass within a few miles around the top can be seen at a glance, and the blood elf rangers look at the perverted eyesight, and everyone does not have to worry about being attacked here, there is no possibility at all!

With a draft in mind, Xie Feng called the head of the Blood Knight and his old subordinate, Captain Valen, and told him to repair the tower and build houses and warehouses according to his own ideas, and build this place into a strong, safe but not too simple base as soon as possible. When Valen took the order and left, Xie Feng had time to start analyzing other things
