Although the undead cannot cross the boundary line of the black cloud, the area of the black cloud is constantly increasing, and as time goes by, sooner or later, the entire kingdom of Lordaeron will be covered by black clouds, and then the undead monsters can wreak havoc on the kingdom of Lordaeron. In order to launch an encirclement against the raging undead monsters, the kingdom of Lordaeron still needs time to accumulate strength, so after military discussions, the Lordaeron army and the Knights of the Silver Hand will build several fortifications around Sidaronmir.

The Lordaeron army built the Undead Barrier to keep undead monsters from entering the Tirisfal Glade, and transformed the original Monastery of the Holy Light into a Scarlet Monastery for garrisons. The Silver Hand built a valley of hearths in the valley of West Daloomir for surveillance and garrisoning, and they also built a large number of watchtowers in East Daloon Mill to prevent the undead from entering East Dalommir.

And the place shrouded in black clouds is also known as the Plaguelands, so Sidaron Mill also has a new name, the West Plaguelands. The Plaguelands expanded to include Lake Daron Mill and part of the Oakland Ranges. The island in the middle of Lake Dallon Mill is home to the Barov family, and when the black clouds spread here, their estate was also attacked by undead monsters. The Barovs had to abandon it and go to other possessions. In this attack, Illusia Barov disappeared, and because the monster undead monster took over the manor, Alex couldn't go back to look for it, so he could only announce that Illusia died in this undead attack.

Compared to the Kingdom of Lordaeron, the Kingdom of Oakland did not have the military strength to resist the attack of the undead, so they could only try to take advantage of the geographical advantage in the mountains to build a defensive line to slow down the pace of the undead attack. At this point, it has become the land of the Western Plague, and all the roads leading to the outside world have been blocked, and outside the blockade line is the land of the living, and inside the blockade line is the paradise of the dead.

The expansion of the undead has been organized for the time being, but the root of the problem has not been solved, and several cauldrons in the Western Plague Land are still releasing steam every day and night, and the black clouds are still expanding. In order to solve the threat of the undead this time, it is still necessary to destroy all the cauldrons.

And before the Silver Hand Knights sent troops to work day and night, there are still several cauldrons that cannot be destroyed, and now if you want to destroy the cauldron, you must also face the attack of the undead, if you let the entire army enter the Western Plague Land to destroy, it is undoubtedly a dangerous bet, if the cauldron is not destroyed, and the army is completely destroyed, it is obvious that Lordaeron will no longer be able to fight the undead.

What they need now is a method capable of destroying the cauldron in the short term, so that it can be destroyed with a surprise attack by small forces. Fortunately, at this time, Dalaran developed a bomb specifically aimed at the Saron Evil Iron, and the use of the bomb can easily destroy any product of the Saron Evil Iron. As soon as the bomb was developed, it was sent to the forward base against the undead. And Gianna is still in charge of the use of these bombs, and now Antonidas has basically entrusted all the important matters to her.

The Undead Fortress, Gianna and the other mages of Dalaran arrived at the camp with bombs. Waiting for them here are the knights of the Knights of the Silver Hand and the Prince of Arthas.

"Thank you so much for bringing these bombs to us at such a critical time. Arthas said as soon as he saw Gianna.

"Actually, it's all our Dalaran's fault, and if we had known that there was something wrong with Kel'thugad, all this would not have happened. We hope you will convey our apologies to His Majesty Terenus. Gianna said with some guilt.

"It's not your Dalaran's fault either, there are not a few bad people in any country. We also don't have a good grip on Sidaron Mill, and if we had organized these cauldrons in the early stages of their installation, the rest of the story wouldn't have happened. Alsace instructed.

"These bombs did work wonders for the Saron Iron artifacts in experiments, but these bombs have not been practiced, so there may be a lot of uncertainty when used for the first time. Gianna said.

"I trust your Dalaran technique, not to mention that there is no better way to do it now. "Alsace Road.

"Alright, let's go now. Gianna said.

"Wait, are you going to go in too? There's no guarantee of safety in entering this plague land right now. Arthas said quickly.

"Of course I'm going to go along, and if there's no problem, I'm going to record the report to the mentor. Besides, you don't have to be responsible for my security, and I'm very capable of fighting. Gianna said.

"Well, if there's any problem, I'll protect you to the death. "Alsace Road.

"Forget it, you're a prince, I don't dare to work you. Gianna said.

"Aren't you also a princess, heir to two kingdoms. "Alsace Road.

A hint of displeasure flashed across Gianna's face at the mention of this question, but she was quick to say it.

"What an heir to the kingdom, I am just an ordinary woman who has been removed from the royal family. ”

Arthas also heard about the incident between Gianna and Dailein, so in order not to be hated by Gianna, he quickly closed his mouth and led the others to start heading towards the Plaguelands.

Lordaeron also took this attempt very seriously, with the exception of the two armies of Uther and Mograine, who had to defend other fortifications. The rest of the high-ranking generals like Abydis, Ravengard, Sohanda, etc., also traveled with Arthas. And Arthas, as a prince, has the highest status, and is naturally the commander of this operation.

The total number of raiders this time was less than fifty, but it was made up of all mages and paladins, and there were no ordinary soldiers. The strength of such a team is that even if it is surrounded by the undead, it has the strength to break out of the encirclement. But Ravengard, who was traveling with him, felt a little uneasy in his heart, because he knew that Arthas liked Gianna, and he only hoped that the prince would not forget to command the army correctly because he saw his goddess.

Fortunately, Arthas is indeed a man who distinguishes between public and private, and after entering the plague land, he acts according to the code of conduct that a good leader should have, and every order for warning, palace, and exploration is issued in an orderly manner.

At this time, the Western Plague Land has really become a world of the dead, even the trees that grow here have withered, and the original sounds of birds and beasts in the forest have been replaced by all kinds of strange roars. Their purpose was Firestone's Farm, the closest to the Undead Fortress, and in the middle of the farm was an iron pot that had not been successfully destroyed many times.

The scattered undead encountered along the way were quickly wiped out by the paladins, and the group basically did not encounter a large-scale undead attack before reaching the farm. When they arrived at the farm, they were amazed by what they saw. The farm was crowded with undead, and with the cauldron as the center, all the undead were surrounded by overlaps. And all the undead are frantically inhaling the steam that spills out of the cauldron, as if this steam is their food.

The group hid in the woods some distance from the farm, facing a large number of undead, and for a while Arthas did not dare to let the team act recklessly.

"What are they doing, how are there so many gathered here?" Arthas whispered to Gianna.

"We have speculated that this cauldron produces death energy, and these undead need to constantly replenish this death energy if they want to survive. So if you have to say it, they're eating right now. Gianna said.

"Then you mean that if you destroy these iron pots, these undead will die due to lack of death energy replenishment?" Arthas asked again.

"They can also transform by attacking the living, but if they can destroy enough cauldrons, it can at least weaken them, making it difficult for them to respawn again. I've also heard about your defeat in the resurrection of the dead in Andohar. Gianna said.

"Then there's nothing to think about, these cauldrons must be destroyed in order to kill these monsters once and for all. "Alsace Road.

"Fight quickly, cover the mages to set up bombs, and we'll withdraw when that's done. Arthas shouted and quickly rushed out of the woods.

Such a move obviously alarmed the undead on the farm, and the undead, who were still enjoying the death gas, immediately looked at Arthas, and then attacked him as well.

The number of undead on a farm is close to a few thousand, and the raid party has less than 50 people and is immediately surrounded by the undead. But such a siege could not organize the progress of the commando, no one died or fell behind all the way to the fight, and the approaching undead were as fragile as tofu scum in the eyes of the paladin, and every undead who approached the team successfully turned into a corpse. The mages were protected by the knights in the middle, and with a safe spellcasting environment, the mages' range spells obliterated the approaching undead at a very fast speed.

"Gianna, I think the combination of paladin and mage is pretty good, or we can work together more in the future. "Constantly slashing the undead, Arthas didn't forget to ask if there was a chance to meet in the future.

"Amy can do this alone, and if it's really for safety, I'd prefer him. Gianna understood what Arthas meant, deliberately using Amy to block the gun.

"Isn't there a special relationship between you, why did you mention him? Arthas asked, stunned.

In the time that Arthas was stunned, a ghoul captain swung his claws at him, while Gianna raised his hand to kill the ghoul quickly with an ice spear.

"You see, that's the gap, and that's not going to happen to Amy on the battlefield. So from a security point of view, I will definitely act with him. Gianna said immediately after killing the ghoul.

Hearing this, Arthas also blushed. Although it is not fatal, it is also a clear manifestation of his immaturity.

After that, Arthas didn't speak, but concentrated on cutting down one approaching undead after another, and he didn't want to make a fool of himself in front of the goddess again.
