Chapter 140: Prologue to Discord - Defensive Battle of Utgard
When Xue Huan led the mighty army of natural disasters into the gate of Utgard Castle only a few hundred meters away, it was already dawn the next day, and at this time, those tall dragon raiders had already lined up their formations, relying on the city gate, and prepared a defensive posture.
At the head were several dragon snatchers, all of them tall and strong, with solemn expressions, wearing armor made of unknown metal and holding shields. At the same time, dozens of members of the Dragon Raider Clan were already on standby, they were slightly smaller and armed with a giant two-handed sword.
Perhaps it was the confidence in their own strength, or perhaps the protracted battle with the Lich King's Scourge army, at least the Veku didn't show too much fear on their faces when faced with a vast expanse of terrifying undead creatures.
It seems that these Viku have received the news of the destruction of Dragonskull Village.
But so what?
Xue Huan smiled coldly and turned his head to look at the dense natural disaster troops behind him.
In the Battle of Dragonskull Village, his troops have been greatly replenished. In addition to the brainless ghouls, zombies, and the sturdy abomination, the Dakale trolls, he has filled the army with hundreds of sluggish but burly dragons, and these will be your graves.
Xue Huan raised his head and squinted his eyes at the ancient castle in front of him, not feeling the haze of war at all.
For the first time, the ancient castle of Utgard was shown so closely...
The castle seems to be a long time ago, with its old staircases, flickering candles, mottled walls covered with dark green vines, and a few crowing crows in the air, setting off the eerie horror of this castle.
Perfect creation, but this will soon become the territory of the Scourge Legion!
Sen smiled coldly, Xue Huan slowly pulled out the frost sorrow behind him, this sword has not been contaminated with the blood of the living, but it should be soon.
"Attack, take this castle, my Scourge warriors!!"
Xue Huan roared angrily, his pale and handsome face distorted by his agitated expression.
At his command, hundreds of scourge forces of ghouls, zombies, abominations, and Dakale trolls swarmed in. Of course, the first of them is naturally the "Veku Necromantic Warriors" who joined the camp not long ago.
The Viku warriors who were resurrected by Xue Huan as servants of the Scourge had no memory, let alone mercy, and they moved quickly, charging forward, mercilessly swinging their battle axes towards their former compatriots.
"Quick, stop these monsters!!"
In the face of the cataclysmic warriors who came like fierce tigers, even the dragon lord who had always been experienced in a hundred battles was a little panicked, and these cataclysmic lackeys actually resurrected their Tongze into undead warriors.
What a damn thing!!
Bang!!
Just as these dragon snatchers were scolding, the two sides had already collided with a terrifying force, but the dragon raiders who had been resurrected as natural disaster warriors were obviously much weaker than the living in terms of physical fitness.
In just one impact, many of the Scourge Viku stumbled and fell, while the opponent, on the other hand, only trembled a few times, and the most serious was only a few skin injuries.
Xue Huan, who was at the rear of the entire army, watched all this coldly, but shook his head in his heart.
Still too weak...
After all, these Veku people who were resurrected by him with frost sorrow are only natural creatures, and after resurrecting them, their strength is only half of their life at best, and they do not have any wisdom, but only obey the orders in his mind, which is also the biggest shortcoming of these undead creatures.
"Don't worry, my master, this is just the beginning!!"
As if sensing Xue Huan's gradually frowning brows, the most loyal lich beside him said faintly, "With your current control of dark magic, it is far from enough to build a large and powerful Scourge Legion. If it weren't for the fact that you had previously studied evil spells and absorbed Gul'dan's Skull, your mental power had been greatly improved, and even these weak Scourge warriors would not have been able to summon them. ”
Kel'thugad laughed skewly, he floated beside Xue Huan, and then said, "As His Majesty the Lich King said, with your talent, you will be more proficient in mastering this magic sword and using dark magic in battle after battle. You'll be stronger, and so will the Scourge troops you've summoned. ”
I see...
Xue Huan felt the sad cold of the frost in his hands, and ignored the shouting and killing not far away, and listened carefully to Kel'thugad's teachings.
This mentor and friend was always able to lead him in the dark, and instead of worrying about hesitation, he turned his attention to the frontal battlefield, which was his primary goal!
The screams shook the sky, and the sonorous sound of weapons colliding was endless.
Although the Scourge Viku, who had just been resurrected by Xue Huan, seemed a little vulnerable, the troll warriors led by Dakuru stood up again.
The sturdy Dakuru was at the forefront, his heavily armored armor, his fangs glowing, and his two battle axes in his hands like a stairway to death. In front of the gates of Utgard, he let out a sinister laugh and frantically brandished the battle axe in his hand, mercilessly strangling the nearby Viku fighters.
Before a dragon lord could even react, he was hit in the head by Dakuru's battle axe, and his brain burst on the spot, and he fell to the ground and died.
Led by Dakuru, the Scourge grew stronger, and the ghouls and zombies, though slightly less combative, were outnumbered, and they swarmed up to target a dragon lord in command, and then pounced on it.
Startled by this sudden attack, the dragon lord subconsciously waved the battle axe in his hand when his vision was completely lost, and a ghoul wrapped around his head saw the opportunity, opened his bloody mouth, and bit the back of the dragon lord's head, instantly spilling blood.
Burst!!
Sharp teeth pierced into the skin, and the ghoul let out a low roar of satisfaction, and the dragon lord let out a heart-rending cry of pain that struck him instantly. But all this was in vain, the delirious and defenseless dragon lord fell to his knees, and the fresh corpse lured a large number of hungry ghouls, who swarmed and devoured the "delicacies" at will.
And the great abominations of the battlefield also exerted their power, and the arms behind these monsters were wrapped in heavy black burr chains, and at the top was a hideous barb.
Although the two heads of abomination were few in number, even those who were known for their strength felt fear in the face of this terrifying power. They used the hook as a weapon, and with a casual swing of the hook, the sharp tip of the hook stabbed into the body of a Viku fighter, and with a flick of it, the poor Viku flew out like a kite with a broken string and slammed into the castle walls.
And the most terrifying thing is Xue Huan, this guy coldly watched his subordinates slaughter the Viku people, and on the other hand, he used dark magic non-stop to corrode the corpses of those fallen Viku people and resurrect them as new scourge warriors.
Imagine that every time he wielded Frost's Grief, a fallen Viku fighter got back on his feet, and the Viku who guarded the gates of Utgard became fewer and fewer, while the Scourge grew more and more courageous and numerous.
Who can not be afraid of this undead?
Under the fierce onslaught of the Scourge Legion under Xue Huan's command, the few Viku began to abandon the first line of defense and retreat to the interior of the castle, and Xue Huan also spotted the fighters, and ordered his troops to advance layer by layer, extending the battle line to the empty castle hall.
The Scourge Legion was approaching step by step, but the Viku people were sluggish, and seeing that the victory of the first stage was just around the corner, an inopportune voice came down from the steps, causing Xue Huan's brows to furrow slightly.
"Hey, look who's coming, but it doesn't seem to matter, whoever it is, I'm going to tear you apart!!"
