Chapter 547: The Tactics of the Scourge

Reinforcements came from all directions, and the Alsace army was in hand, full of ambition.

In this case, what he is most worried about is that the natural disaster army will be reduced to zero, holding the coalition army by the nose, and going around in circles among the dangerous mountains and rivers.

Fortunately, the natural disasters did not scatter, nor did they finish lurking and disappearing, but were caught.

Of course, Malganis and Kel'thugad did not see it that way, and in the eyes of these two men, they were ready for a big fight.

Since its debut, the Scourge Army, which has been plotting one after another, why is it suddenly so tough?

Kane didn't dare to say that it was all his own credit, but his deployment did have a certain effect.

It was a series of battles based on battles on hidden fronts.

On the Scourge side are the Cursed Wizard and the Evil Assassin, as well as the Death Knight.

Opposite to it is the special work of the Shadow.

The fight between the two sides mainly revolves around the concept of 'investigation and counter-investigation'.

The result was a pain in the face for Malganis and Kel'thugad.

When Kel'thugad reported to his master, the Lich King, he specifically mentioned this incident, which roughly means that the scouts will be attacked and killed if they are secretly obstructed by third-party elites who use dark forces and evil powers, so that the troops are very passive in controlling real-time intelligence.

Kel'thugad also told the Lich King about his coping strategy.

It is nothing more than using scouts as bait to eliminate the enemy's attack and kill team.

The results of the battle were very bad, the ambush of more than 100 people was used by the other side and annihilated, but their own side has not even got a single corpse of the other party, let alone a prisoner.

In the end, it can be said that Marganis and Kel'thugad forcibly terminated this secret war with each other.

More than 100 people can be ambushed, and if you add more people, it will become a large army, and it is inevitable that such an ambush will leave traces, and with the reconnaissance quality of the other party, the probability of detection is extremely great.

The Scourge Army, which had been holding back the evil fire in their bellies, was ready to regain their good feelings from the frontal battlefield, and they took the initiative to choose the battlefield, the thick ink pine forest.

The thick ink pine forest is the plague forest after the original historical line. Naturally, it shares many similarities with the southern part of the Wraith Lands further north, such as pine trees and tall, straight cedars.

However, the pine forest is called iron pine, and its pine needles are iron blue, and the bark is also cast iron, which is very distinctive. Therefore, it is called the thick ink pine forest.

Arthas, of course, wanted to fight in the plains, because now it was the coalition side that was more numerous.

However, the Scourge did not come out of the jungle, and Arthas, eager to recover the face he had lost in Keldaron, rejected the advisor's offer to set fire to the forest, and commanded the army to go straight in.

It was already afternoon.

The dark pine forest was originally gloomy, tall and straight, and relatively blocked from light, but the result was that it didn't take long to fight, and it became a night battle.

Then Arthas encountered a new trouble, and the Scourge Army played its cards out of common sense and released a new class, the Crypt Spider.

These giant spider-men can climb trees, build webs, spit webs, and also use a sinister and weird attack, small spiders led by black silk of energy, scurrying over to the ground to cause damage, and then being retracted, quickly recharged and then rushed over.

The human side has a headache with this particular type of attack. It's already dark and this kind of attack is very weird, and it's easy to get hit.

In addition, the undead are assisted by plague animals, scourge dogs, scourge bats, and scourge bears......

These catastrophic animals, which have become much more ferocious, without losing their feral acuity and adaptability to their environment, are much more annoying than bone clubs.

The most disgusting thing is that the undead use the floating plague furnace to spread the plague, they are naturally not afraid, but the spread of the poisonous mist has a great impact on the coalition forces.

What Alsace wanted, a hearty fierce battle and a big victory, quickly turned into a bad battle, even on its own.

Arthas, who was on the front line and led the troops to fight, felt that he had killed a lot of undead, but in his vision, the monsters had not decreased, and the surrounding atmosphere had a feeling that his side was in a deep quagmire, rather than an army opening and closing.

"The plague poisonous fog and the night, the undead are well prepared, our advantages cannot be brought into play, we should face such clumsy battles, wait for daylight, and take the initiative to find them and start fighting.

More than one person suggested this to Alsace. Alsace also felt that it made sense. So he ordered the allied forces to withdraw from the Mopine Forest in an orderly manner, and rested in the hilly area to the east of the forest.

Soon after, news arrived that the Silver Hand and the Thunder Spear had suffered a landslide created by the undead. However, the dwarves are very slippery when playing with explosives, and they often do it when they open mountains and blow up rocks, so the losses are not large.

Now that the undead have cut off this path, they are blocked in this area east of the Giant Peak Mountains.

The Silver Hand and the Thunder Spear had withdrawn from the cave and rushed over.

In order to prevent fraud, the thunder spear also blew up a long passage, which is really blocked, at least for a short time.

However, just as the Silver Hand and the Thunderspear made a detour to converge, the undead, who had never known what it meant to be tired, began to attack Stratholme.

This time, the information was transmitted relatively quickly, and Stratholme's side was indeed grim.

Alsace felt that his country was in shambles, and that there were problems everywhere.

Arthas has chosen the Falcon Vanguard to complete the mission, specifically through the side gate of Stratholme, in addition to killing the undead, but also to secure the passage and evacuate the people from here if necessary.

The Silver Eagle Army defended the outside, mainly to prevent the undead from wading through the water to attack the side door.

Stratholme is also a difficult terrain, with a long east-west green lake on the front that acts as a natural barrier, and then a huge bridge connecting the north and south shores.

The giant bridge is no better than the stone bridge of Keldaron, and there is not a dozen truckloads of explosives here, so I don't want to blow it up.

After the side gate was arranged, Arthas, with the puppet army as the main force, pushed westward along the green water lake, and if the undead did not know how to advance or retreat, and still insisted on attacking Stratholme, then fight in the open space near the south of the bridge.

As a result, the undead retreated and retreated, but the city of Stratholme was in flames.

Arthas enters Stratholme with the guards.

Golems are not suitable, they are unable to cope with overly complicated situations, such as distinguishing between Cultists of the Damned and ordinary people. And they are also not adapted to indoor and street fights.

But Arthas still has a puppet squad around him, this is the smallest unit, a grassroots elf commander commands and controls 30 puppets, this is the team.

Sylvanas reminds Arthas that the undead may take the opportunity to escape southeast of the Dark Pine Forest, along Lake Blackwood.

Arthas said that it would be great, they happened to meet the Silver Hand and the Thunder Spear, and we got the news that the army would push them over and fill the lake with them.

Sylvanas nodded. She also believes that with the fighting qualities of the Silver Hand, she will not pass by the army of the undead without realizing it.

Arthas led the men into Stratholme, and the city was filled with people shouting and neighing, crying and screaming.

Stratholme has the characteristics of a fortress, and each of the internal districts has gates that can be closed to isolate the districts, unless there are siege machines, otherwise the city key can only be opened.

Because of this, the city is the kind of city that can be retreated and difficult to attack.

But now it seems that this isolation capability has made it easier for the Scourge Army, because tunnels are dug everywhere, but the isolation gates are closed, and the people with the keys to the city cannot be found, and the refugees cannot escape.

Arthas soon realized that it was almost another Keldaron. Only a person in a critical position who rebels or is quickly subdued can create such an unfavorable situation.

Many of the refugees in the city are still asking for help on the front foot, and as soon as the necromancer appears and uses an activation spell, the refugees become ghouls on the spot.

Alsace managed to find a few refugees who were a little more well-informed, and after inquiry, he learned that the lord of the city said that the plague was spreading on the King's Road, and that he had invited a herbalist to prepare medicine to prevent the plague and distribute it to everyone.

Arthas was speechless, and his heart said, "The lord of the city, Carlos Rivendell, is very good!"

The next thing is to witness all kinds of tragic events.

The cursed wizards and necromancers on the side of the Scourge Army, for those who have taken the so-called anti-epidemic potion, activate the spell, and the other party will immediately transform into ghouls with sharp claws like lions, and the people can't even organize effective resistance.

Arthas can understand that situation, just imagine, relatives, familiar neighbors, friends, and comrades-in-arms, all of them have the possibility of turning into ghouls at any time, pounced on them from the side and from behind, how can this battle be fought? Who else can be trusted.

"Damn, damn it!" Arthas became angrier the more he thought about it. The eyes are bloodshot.

In fact, this is the disadvantage of the feudal system and centralized power, once the lord is controlled or turned against the water, it will immediately fall apart.

So like Kane himself, if possible, he will choose to sit in the rear. Kane Sun's doppelganger is also along this line.

He knew very well that his team, due to his excessive authority, would immediately collapse if something unexpected happened, so when his power gradually grew, he stopped doing it.

Alsace adheres to the traditional idea that leaders should lead the way and charge ahead, but because they are young, they are too emotional.

Naturally, Marganis would not give up the opportunity, and the slutty one appeared, pretending to say that he would come to Northrend to find me, and he also sucked blood on the spot and tore two beauties with his hands, and then released a rancid swarm of bees, summoned a hellfire, smashed Arthas into a dusty face, and then flashed.

On this night, the Stratholm people were really miserable. It wasn't until the paladins of the Silver Knights rushed in and poisoned the people that things got better

And Arthas also let the elves command the puppets, smashing the barrier at any cost, and breaking the lockdown situation one after another.

As soon as the morning dawned, Arthas refused to rest, and was about to continue the war with the Scourge army.

Uther said save people first. Arsa said that if they don't crush those guys to dust, God knows what they will do, at least annihilate their large forces.

Arthas also said that the puppet army would not save people, so they pressed it and pushed it to the west of the thick ink pine forest. The town of Loka is where they hide.

As a result, there were no undead in the thick ink pine forest, and to the west, there was no such thing, and there was no town in Luoka, but there were no undead buildings such as slaughterhouses, crypts, and psychic towers up close.

Arthas was mad, the Silver Hand and Thunderspear didn't run into the army of the undead when they arrived last night, and then they deliberately arranged enough scouts to prevent them from slipping through the net.

But now, the main force of the natural disaster has just disappeared, is there any reason for this?

I have to say that at this time, people still lack understanding of the Scourge Army.

Otherwise, when you see a monster like a crypt demon, which is simply an undead Eldraine Nirub spider-man, you will know that the other party has a very strong earthwork construction ability.

These spider-men are not only good at building all kinds of buildings, but they are also first-class at digging holes, and Northrend is about to be dug into a dark area by these guys.

The main force of the natural disaster disappeared, and in the end, Kane contacted his own Falcon Vanguard through a secret channel and suggested a thorough investigation, which was the 'coincidental' discovery of major clues.

It turns out that the problem is still in the mine in the town of Loka.

The cave had been in use for many years, and the interior was dug like a labyrinth, and it was connected to the natural cave system, and it would take several days to go through all the vein passages.

The Crypt Demons further exploited it, and there were not only complex passages underneath, but also a very large dungeon.

After fighting the Coalition Ink Pine Forest, the Scourge retreated here to rest. The one who attacked Stratholme in the middle of the night was a different force, which had not participated in the Battle of the Thick Ink Pine Forest before. Besides, Stratholme had been eroded into a sieve, and the siege was just a façade.

After the main force of the Scourge had finished recuperating, it moved south from Sudrir and then stormed Andohar during the day.

Originally, the raid effect was very good, and with the help of the cave system, the gameplay of returning to the state of Qice was relatively successful, and the defense of Andohar was not empty, but it could not withstand the onslaught of the undead army.

However, the Knights Templar arrived at a critical moment.
