Chapter 420: Bloody Battle in the Valley of the Hearth (Part II)
After smashing a stitch monster to death, Arthas felt some pain all over his body. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info"For the sake of your family, hold on! Block them out! Despite Alsace's desperate shouting, human power is always limited. More and more dead creatures rushed in through the cracks in the walls, and even Arthas himself was haunted by a few necromancers. Exhausted, Arthas watched in anguish as the undead rushed in began to slaughter unarmed civilians, but there was nothing he could do.
"The Light gives me strength!" Arthas prayed for the Light again, and a huge amount of Light energy burst out of Arthas's body, which actually restored him a lot of strength.
"The Light has not given up on us! For Lordaeron! Arthas fell to one knee on the ground, the light condensing within him. Some of the undead who didn't open their eyes wanted to come and try it, but before they could touch Arthas's body, they were burned to slag by the holy light in his body. Arthas's strength peaked, and he grabbed Minethil's power with both hands and swung it hard at the rift. An entity of holy light about the size of a city wall rushed out of Arthas's body, and even high-level stitch monsters were burned and ignited by the holy light, and soon turned into ashes. At the breach, a human death squad took the opportunity to use their flesh and blood to keep the undead outside out of the city walls.
It was at this time that a sharp-eyed warrior on the city wall suddenly cheered: "Our reinforcements have arrived!" "More people also noticed that a sea of people was coming towards them in the distance. It was an army with the banners of Lordaeron and the Silver Hand, and when he heard the news, Arthas gasped for breath. He didn't have the strength to move anymore, and if it weren't for Arthas's affinity for the Light, he wouldn't have been able to hold out after nearly thirty hours of fighting.
Uther, Hu Li, Shen Huili and some paladins led nearly a thousand knights to kill a passage in a crushing way. It seemed that the warriors in the back only needed to pick up the heads, and the undead were shattered by the onslaught of so many knights. The light in the eyes of the lich Herkula, who was on the hill not far away, lit up for a moment, but he shook his head again: "Now is not the time, you can't destroy Naozu's plan..." Soon Herkula quietly left the battlefield with some high-level combat power, and after he left, the undead lost control, and the siege of Fireplace Valley was quickly lifted.
After the war, counting the losses, there were almost 3,000 casualties in the Valley of the Hearth, and about 1,000 died directly. Of the Alsace soldiers, less than three hundred were still alive, and all of them were wounded. "Uther, you have finally arrived here before the fall has been taken. But now is not the time to rest, the Cursed Sect's food delivery team has been out of here for three days. If we don't hurry to Stratholme, then it's too late. "Arthas wants Uther to come with his troops at once.
Uther also knew the seriousness of the matter, and when the Knights of the Silver Hand charged, although they eliminated thousands of undead, they also suffered nearly two hundred casualties. You must know that the undead here are only people or corpses near the Hearthvale and in the villages, and if the city of Stratholm is in chaos, the blow to the Lordaeron region will be devastating. Uther immediately left all the seriously wounded in the Valley of the Hearth, and those who were fighting were assembled and marched to Stratholme.
In fact, if the route is normal, it is estimated that it will take half a month to walk from Fireplace Valley to Stratholme. Although the two places are close to each other, there is a large mountain blocking them. However, some hidden people know that there is a tunnel in the middle of this mountain. Yes, although this passage is not very large, but the army used to be without pressure. Those of the Cursed Sect also transported food to Stratholme through this path. After all, the leader of the Cult of the Damned is none other than Kel'thugad, a learned mage who knows all the hidden spots on the road.
"Are you alright?" Ye Qianbi came over and found that Alsace was covered in blood. Then Ye Clinique condensed a little water element and helped Arthas clean up his body.
Arthas was a little surprised: "I didn't expect you to use spells?" ”
Ye Qianbi nodded a little shyly: "It's just that it can condense the water element, but it doesn't have the ability to attack with it." If you want to talk about the element, my sister is amazing. Ye used a piece of flax to wipe off the sewage on Arthas's body, and soon a layer of dark red liquid formed on the ground.
"Prince, if the civilians of Stratholme were infected, would you do it?" Ye Qianbi asked in a low voice.
Arthas shook his head: "I don't know.... To be honest, if they are really infected, perhaps the worst plan is to purify them all. In the past few days, I have tried different ways to find the effect of exorcizing this curse, but they have failed. But Stratholm, there are more than sixty thousand people here .... If they were all infected, I'm afraid Lordaeron would have to give up all the land north of Tikaurin's junction. The main army of the country was transferred to the side of Nanhai Town, because of the orc riot. So at this time, Lordaeron's forces are very empty. And have you noticed that this magical curse is latent in nature, and as soon as a lich or some controllable person appears, they will immediately become undead? ”
Ye Qianbi sighed: "The prince is right, no matter how the prince chooses in the future, I will be on the prince's side." ”
"What if I make the wrong choice?" Arthas smiled.
Ye Qianbi gently kissed Alsace's cheek: "Then it's wrong, but I hope Arthas can listen to my eldest sister." She was a prophet who said she hoped that the Prince of Arthas would prepare for the worst-case scenario for Stratholme. ”
"What!" Arthas's entire body suddenly appeared with holy light, and his breath was visibly unsteady.
Ye Qianbi nodded at Arthas: "The enemy this time is not ordinary, they have made a plan, and this plan is aimed at you, the prince." Can the prince pay anything for the sake of the people? And if it really does what my eldest sister said, even if you pay the price, it will only make the civilians of Lordaeron die less. ”
Arthas thought for a moment: "As long as I can save some, I can pay the price." But at what cost? Arthas looked at Ye Qianbi with some doubts, but Ye Qianbi shook her head.
"After the battle of Stratholme, the eldest sister will talk to you personally." Ye Clinbi didn't say it in the end, but the result of Stratholme, Ye Clinite vaguely told Alsace. Of course, this made the burden on Alsace's heart even greater. Because the more he wishes to save, the more he cannot save.
Arthas's party, hurrying and hurrying, finally approached Stratholme three days later. Looking at the fortress in the distance, Arthas's heart became more and more uneasy. (To be continued.) )
