Chapter 545: A Strange Disaster
The Lordaeron Kingdom Army was ambushed at Keldaron. In order to preserve his strength and avoid doom, Uther had decided that he would lead the Paladins of the Silver Hand and evacuate as much as possible.
Arthas and Gianna also retreated with the others, being harassed along the way by a guerrilla force dominated by gargoyle forces on the undead side.
Gargoyles not only dive to attack, but also throw poison barrels. After being injured, they will fall to the nearby rocks to recover, which is very hateful.
The main ground attack unit on the Scourge's side is a large number of ghouls and a relatively small number of abominations, but even more abominable are the white bone archers who release cold arrows. These bone archers belong to the ritual creation of magic golems and have no time limit, but they need to replenish their mana within the time or they will be finished.
Although there are not many types of troops in melee combat, long-range attack, meat shield, ranger, and natural disaster, the combination of troops is still relatively complete, which has caused a lot of trouble to Arthas.
The bigger trouble is this waterway across the lake, not only are there gargoyles in the air, but there are a large number of undead man-eating flying fish in the lake, jumping out of the lake and biting one after another, their teeth are like rusty nails, just looking at it is terrifying.
There are only small boats in the Keldaron Wharf, and there are not many of them, and it takes several times to transport people back and forth, not to mention the miserable situation and depression under the attack of the Scourge Army.
What's even more hateful is that when Alsace was busy saving people, Marganis swaggered and led a horde of gargoyles to fly by, and greeted Arthas: "Young prince, thank you for the gift you have prepared for me, and I will accept it in Andorhar." ”
Arthas was so angry that his face was distorted.
He blames himself for leading the reckless rush into Keldaron, and also resents the insidiousness of the Barov family.
Even Uther had a bit of a grudge.
He felt that if it weren't for Uther's failure to notice his face as the king's representative in the Mourning Hills and the Bridge at the mouth of the river, he might not have rushed into the trap in a hurry......
The invasion of Marganis' flying army did not bring about the fall of Andohar.
Uther was a scheming man, and he had a precautionary plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, and the troops were sufficient, and after the people gathered everywhere, the militia alone was not weak.
Also, last night's invasion of the undead legions of Kel'thugad has made people extremely vigilant, including guarding against the lurking Cultists of the Damned.
Uther had been reminded in advance that most of the lurking Cursed Cultists still existed, even if it was for detection and surveillance, they would not activate all the lurkers in an ambush.
Therefore, be sure to be careful of sabotage from within.
The actual situation was expected by Uther, and sure enough, the lurking Cursed Cultists rose up at the right time and attacked again, but they were quickly subdued or killed, and failed to cause any major accidents.
Unfortunately, Talonshire was not able to survive.
As the commander of the Falconry had calculated for the farthest run, Kelthugad led the Legion of the Undead to the town of Talon, where he was taken.
It is worth mentioning that Kel'thugad made full use of the catacombs of Dalonshire.
The burial custom can be traced back to the time of Soladin, and it is still practiced in the Seven Kingdoms, one in the town of Daron in the Kingdom of Lordaeron, and the other in Raven Ridge in Stormwind.
Raven Ridge in the western part of the Twilight Forest of the Stormwind Kingdom is more famous, it is simply a big town that started with the funeral industry, and the embalming of corpses and so on are very professional, and the scale of the large tombs there is even larger than here.
The town of Talon is much older and is now being exploited by the Undead Scourge.
A large number of corpses, bones, and bones were created, which was the accumulation of many days, and was also an important source for the Kel'thugad Undead Legionnaires.
Uther and the others had not been able to figure out why the Scourge could lurk such a large undead legion inside the kingdom of Lordaeron without being discovered.
After seeing the situation of the large tomb in Dalong Town, I finally understood.
Kel'thugad, by all, united with the Barov family and other traitors, using terrifying technology, to create a large army in the Darong region.
In the process of capturing the town of Dalon, Kel'thugad even took advantage of the kingdom's side's call for help and used the tactics of encirclement and reinforcements.
This time it was Colin City who was recruited, and the reinforcements they sent were eaten.
Immediately after, the Cultists of the Damned pretended to be reinforcements, deceived the gates of Colin City, and used decapitation tactics to attack and kill commander-level figures, especially the Nitro family, and many of them died tragically, causing the Colin Massacre.
In the end, someone came to his senses and asked for help from the Silver Hand Knights of the Hand of Tyr, and the Knights took out the knights and reserve knights stationed there and rushed to Colin, which brought the situation under control and deteriorated further.
It was not until noon the next day that the fighting in the city completely stopped.
I have to say that this series of events is very different from the original historical line. In order to open up the situation, the Scourge Army only used the plague as a cover, at least at the beginning, and their real hard methods were all kinds of assassinations that had been prepared for a long time, as well as intrigues and tricks assisted by high-end technology.
Don't look at the ugliness and obscenity of the Scourge Legion, but the technology contained in those creations is definitely not low. The vast land of Northrend is the foundation of the Scourge Legion, and the tribes conquered by it are the industrial population, so to speak, even if there is no plague, fighting for national strength, the Lich King's Scourge Army can still beat the Kingdom of Rendanren all over the ground.
Moreover, Nao Zu, who had experienced the first and second wars of man and beast, had a considerable understanding of the human race. Dedicated to development, careful planning, and making full use of human nature and various internal problems of human society, this attack, a set of combination punches, seems to be able to hit the key point every time.
In this series of invasions, there is also a character worth mentioning, which is the Demon Nasrezm, also known as the Dreadlord.
The Lich King's Fake Legion is deadly, and even the Dreadlords take advantage of it. The Dreadlord is good at demagoguery, and Lordaeron has such a large number of Cursed cultists that they should be the first to blame.
In Kane, the Fear Demon King is an evil being that fits the concept of the devil in the DND world.
They are orderly, hierarchical, cruel, insidious, and good at playing with people's hearts.
These demons are adept at digging and exploiting the dark side of human nature. Greed, enjoyment, jealousy, **, laziness...... They are simply using the Seven Deadly Sins as a weapon of attack.
Under their dominance, in the Keldaron provided by the Barov family, as well as several other dens, all kinds of depravity quickly breeded, and then surpassed the bottom line of secular ethics and morality, and then people have become demons, and they will continue to be blackened without guidance.
As Kane had predicted, and feared, the demons' tricks were working.
The destitute take advantage of their anger, resentment, unwillingness, pain, and longing.
Those who are well-fed play philosophy, play with the occult, exploit their spiritual emptiness, and their instinctive desires to try to be more satisfied. There are also those distracting thoughts and reveries, those desires for self-realization, those examination and criticism of human nature and self, and thoughts on the meaning of existence, etc.
As the so-called attacking the heart is the supreme, this kind of feminine and mysterious trick is hidden and difficult, and the damage caused is often irreparable.
Those who have fallen, even if they turn back, are prone to sprout old ways, not only because of their own problems, but also because of the harsh criticism from society.
Even in the modern society of the origin world, those who have a black background are hitting walls everywhere in the society, and it is much more difficult than ordinary people to take the right path, let alone this world and this era.
On the contrary, it is the food that spreads the plague, in fact, there are many shortcomings, and when the people are rich, they will not eat moldy food, even if it is green and yellow, there is enough grain in stock.
And natural disasters and plague toxins mixed in food, it is impossible not to have a peculiar smell at all. The reason is simple, negative and positive are diametrically opposed forces. People are sunshine creatures, and the undead are the opposite, so the energy that causes this opposite change will inevitably be repelled by the instinct of sunlight creatures.
And the rice is to be cooked and eaten, and everyone knows that heat treatment is a standard disinfection process.
So is there a supernatural world like potassium cyanide, which is extremely toxic and poisonous beyond the judgment of the human senses, or the undead transformation toxin?
Yes, but this kind of product is difficult to manufacture, and the output cannot be increased, and the supernatural world focuses on the characteristics of individual strength, which is also destined to be difficult to achieve large-scale industry and large-scale production like the natural world.
So when Kane learned about the Lich King's new gameplay, he wasn't surprised at all, thinking that this was normal.
He had been observing the progress of the situation through his eyes and ears.
The Phantoms' performance is remarkable.
This organization was founded much earlier than the Holy Temple. The original members were flesh golems that were transformed from orc corpses and demons. Today, there are more than 1,500 of them.
He also had a hoplite in his hands, made from ogres, which had slowly accumulated and was now close to the total.
This force is hidden by half-sealed snow, and it takes too much energy to drive them, and they won't easily enter the stage unless it's a big battle.
What really came to the foreground was a force that many people jokingly called the 'Pro-Guards'.
This combat force, known to the outside world as the Clover Guild,
This organization looks like a rabble formed by Prince Garin on a whim, with all kinds of races, ages and appearances.
In fact, its full members have passed a series of loyalty tests and ability tests.
The main source of this organization is the prisoners.
Those who are picked up will be sold to Kalimdor through the channels of the hot sand syndicate, and will help the tribe build a new home under the whip of the slave owner.
The Clover Guild, a half-army and half-company management model of armed contractors, is based at Steinbred Castle. The number of people is 377, and the guild has been officially established for less than a year.
This is a special warband with a certain experimental nature, and Kane aims to make it a slam of all-race, all-class hero templates, similar to that of the Seventh Legion.
Of course, heroes also have ranks, like Sal, Viren, and the Fury Wind Brothers, who are world-class, and those like him, who are not destined to become children of destiny, are legendary.
A member of Clover, he wants to build an elite team. That is, the master level of the DND system above level 15.
Under the use of a series of forbidden experiments, the guild has a variety of strange units, such as paladins, warriors, and shamans of the Quel's Salas elves.
Paladins and warriors, after the original history line and later elves experienced the fall of the prince, they learned from the pain and possessed these two positions.
At that time, they called themselves Sindore, or Blood Elves, and kidnapped a Naru and created a Blood Knight by absorbing its energy, using the power of the Light.
The soldiers were forced by the war and had to prepare for themselves. It came out after a long time.
Shamans have never been, elves don't believe in animism, and their constitution is also arcane affinity, not elemental affinity.
But Kane was experimenting, including brainwashing.
Faith ignition and deepening the creation of combat duties (advanced transfers) are the main features of the Clover Guild.
Orc Paladin, Minotaur Stalker, Night Elf Shaman, Troll Magician, Goblin Druid...... Ethan used a variety of subversive imagination to prove that as long as you play with cognition, there is no absolute threshold for combat positions. As for talent, that's completely adjustable.
The members of the guild are basically living people with their own consciousness, but they are like the hydra miscellaneous soldiers of the Marvel universe, who have been successfully brainwashed and can be said to be artificial fanatics.
There are many more in the pipeline, such as Shatterfinned Fishmen, Frostmane Trolls, and Deadwood Trolls.
Kane didn't stand out this time, but he didn't stand by either, although he knew about the invasion of the natural disaster, he didn't know the specific time.
Now, he believes that the kingdom of Lordaeron is capable of winning in the early battles.
To put it mildly, this is also to defend the homeland, and the local army and the people cannot actively participate, but a guest army to help eliminate the disaster, which is a bit unusual.
Moreover, Kane also believes that the shortcomings of the Lordaeron Kingdom need to be fully exposed through this contest.
It's time to wake up and take advantage of the chance.
In this case, the county of Daron was captured, and the army of the Kingdom of Lordaeron was ambushed and suffered heavy losses at Keldaron, and he did not feel much guilt.
He knew that Stantholm would explode next, and that there would be the greatest casualties in the series.
