"Shoot the arrows and stop those guys from climbing up to the top of the city!!"

What is the picture of nearly 100,000 undead troops acting together?

Looking down from the sky above Stratholme, there were ghouls, zombies, and skeleton warriors surging like ants, like a terrifying black torrent surrounding the entire north gate of Stratholme.

In order to prevent chaos, Xue Huan divided the 70,000 or so ghouls and zombies into three brigades, but when he needed some Death Guards to lead these ghouls to attack the city, he realized a serious problem - these guys resurrected by the necromancers were all ordinary soldiers, and none of them could stand up to assist him in commanding these guys.

Although Xue Huan could use his spiritual power to control the thoughts and actions of these dark creatures, the entire army of 100,000 immortals was still a bit difficult for him to command alone, and personally commanding the troops was extremely depleting of spiritual power.

After the capture of Lordaeron, he deliberately conducted a selection from among the generals who died in battle, in order to hope to discover some warriors whose strength is greater than the fifth order, so that they can be directly resurrected as real death knights.

But unfortunately, except for Renaud Mograine, who volunteered to serve the Scourge Legion, the rest are all warriors and paladins below the fifth order, which may have something to do with the peaceful atmosphere after the Second Orc War.

You must know that warriors or paladins whose strength is greater than the fifth order, except for the commander of a certain legion like Farral, the rest have long been knighted, and they all have their own territories, such as Tirio Fordin's Hearthvale, the Mograine family's Brill, and even Uther was forced to transfer to Steinbrad to eliminate the orcs because Tyrenus was unavailable.

It was precisely because of this that Xue Huan had an opportunity to capture Lordaeron almost effortlessly after designing the transfer of Alsace and Falar.

It's just that I didn't expect that the talent problem that made Terenas feel a deep headache also became a problem for Xue Huan at this time...

But there was no time for him to think about it so much, and the brutal war began as the first abomination slammed his bloated body against the walls of Stratholme.

A dense rain of arrows poured down from the city, and a group of ghouls fell in an instant, but this was only a drop in the bucket for the Scourge troops, who won by numbers, and a large number of ghouls continued to march on the corpses.

"The first team of skeletons rushed up to block the attacks of those archers, and covered the abomination attack on the city wall!!" Drawing out the sorrow of frost, Xue Huan calmly issued the order.

I have to say that Xue Huan, who was extremely keen on studying military affairs in his previous life, has good combat qualities, and he is very good at both troop deployment and on-the-spot command.

The undead attacked methodically under his command, with twenty abominations, shielded by skeletal warriors with large shields, taking turns ramming Stratholme's crumbling walls, while some unarmed ghouls and zombies used their bodies to block the feathered arrows fired by the archers.

In Xue Huan's opinion, these undead creatures are just tools, tools sacrificed to achieve their goals, as long as they can successfully capture the city, then a steady stream of troops will be replenished to the Scourge Legion, so the loss of this soldier is nothing at all.

Riding on a skeleton war horse with evil flames surging all over his body, Xue Huan squinted his eyes at the city wall that was gradually cracking and cracking...

The current Scourge Legion is extremely short of siege equipment, which is one of the reasons why he is forced to choose to hate forcibly breaking the city, but for now, the overall effect is still very satisfactory to him.

Oryx Rivendell felt the tremor of the wall beneath his feet, and he poked his head out to see about seven or eight stitched monsters holding up the boulder in their hands, smashing the walls of Stratholme again and again.

The city wall, which had not been repaired for many years, looked a little crumbling under the attack of those strange forces.

"Quick, stop those monsters, don't let them attack the walls!!"

Oryx shouted at the top of his throat, drew his sword at his waist, and commanded the hundreds of archers in the city to shoot.

"!!Shh

A rain of arrows poured down, and dozens of skeletal warriors with large shields had already surrounded one of the Abomination, blocking most of his attacks, but the rain of arrows fired by the large number of archers at the head of the city was overwhelming, and dozens of fish that had slipped through the net had coincidentally hit the Abomination.

The sheer size of the abomination instantly made them the best targets for archers, and some warriors didn't even have to deliberately aim at them.

"Whew!"

Abomination let out a strange cry, as if it were wailing or angry, and saw a dozen arrows stuck in its shoulders, green pus spurting from the cracked sores.

But what made Oryx break through his glasses was that after such a violent sore, the abomination not only did not fall, but after screaming, it slammed the stone in his hand into the wall more and more violently.

What the hell are these monsters...

Oryx swallowed, these undead creatures were far more powerful than he had imagined, and their orderly offensive and reasonable arrangement of troops also gave Oryx a big headache.

Most of the arrows fired by the archers failed to hit the abominations attacking the walls, some were blocked by their shields, while others were shot at the ghouls and zombies that served as cannon fodder below.

And old Rivendell, who had been standing at the head of the city, naturally saw this scene, and was surprised by the terrifying combat power of the undead legion, and he secretly cursed Uther in his heart.

This abominable Uther, let me hold Stratholme for a week, waiting for his help, but if it goes on like this, I'm afraid tomorrow we'll have to be one of those disgusting creatures.

Tens of thousands of ghouls and zombies blocked the gates, and even if the archers could barely kill some of the undead with a single salvo, other ghouls would then fill their places.

The warriors' weak attacks were nothing to these outnumbered undead spirits.

The heavy sound of the abomination beating against the walls was like a countdown to death, and it smashed into the old sir's heart again and again.

Can't wait any longer...

"Oryx, you're in charge of directing the archers to shoot as many stitchers as possible, and if there's really no way to stop those guys from breaking through the walls, let everyone fight and retreat!!"

"Understood, Father. ”

Oryx answered with a loud voice, then continued to direct the archers to shoot.

Baron Rivendell, on the other hand, drew his long sword behind his back and stood at the head of the city with both swords in his hands.

"Knock !!"

Another violent crash resounded through the sky, and the huge impact directly caused some archers who had not stood firm to fall into the sea of corpses, and then they were dismantled by the ghouls who swarmed up.

Seeing a visible crack in a corner of the wall, Baron Rivendell yelled towards the inner city, "Mallor, Boone, organize the soldiers and prepare for battle..."

"Boom !!"

Before Baron Rivendell could finish his sentence, a loud and earth-shattering sound tore through the canopy.

The earth crumbled, the boulders splattered, and the walls of Stratholme finally could not withstand the powerful onslaught of the abominations, and a large hole was cracked.

And in the frightened eyes of the warriors, one, two, then ten or twenty, countless undead creatures poured in from the blasting rift.

Less than two hours before the start of the battle, Stratholme's first line of defense had been completely lost, and the nearly 100,000 Cataclysmic Legion under Xue Huan's command had only lost less than 3,000...
