Chapter 548: Destined to be King

The Templars' timely appearance in Andohar was not a coincidence, but the result of Kane's lack of appearance behind the scenes.

The coalition was led by the Scourge from the very beginning, and he saw it all in his eyes.

He estimated that at this pace, sooner or later, the coalition forces would lose sight of one or the other.

As a result, the Knights Templar were located on the line of Lake Talon.

In the entire Talon region, apart from Stratholme, Andohal is the most valuable and easy to succeed.

From the perspective of topography and defenses, this place is far from being as easy to defend and difficult to attack as the Valley of the Hearth.

From a strategic point of view, if you capture this place, you can get a large number of people, which is both a resource and a hostage, and can be connected with Kelldaron and rely on each other.

And from a tactical point of view, who would have thought that the Scourge would play a three-dozen Andohar?

The first night attack by Kel'thugad, the second air attack by the Gargoyles of Malganis, and this time it was even more absolute, in broad daylight, and the army smashed the door.

Kane felt that this series of tactics of the Scourge Army was very sharp. Some of the advantages of the Scourge Army have been brought into play.

Seeing that Andohar is about to fall.

The Knights Templar killed.

This was the first time that the Knights Templar had appeared in actual combat on the scale of a warband.

The actual number is less than three hundred, but it has the momentum of a thousand-strong cavalry regiment.

They chose an array of sharp arrows, opening the three auras of aura, holy seal, and blessing.

One by one, their bodies were spewing with pale golden light, and the energy runes on the armor were even more radiant.

They seem to be a heavenly army made of gold, brilliant and dazzling, and like a Titan chariot, magnificent

On the front line of King's Road, Evil Stone Farm, and Darson Farm, the Knights' Blade Array always maintained a formation, repeatedly crushing, no matter what kind of troop structure the natural disaster in front of them was, and how thick the array was, all of them were crushed.

In order to defend against this cavalry, the Scourge made various attempts, but all failed without exception.

Their shortcomings were evident in this battle, strictly speaking, compared to the lack of high-level and powerful units. They rely too much on a large number of cannon fodder soldiers and tactics of fierce fighting.

This tactic has been tried and tested many times, because it is always possible to form a situation of superior forces, concentrate on the target, and then resurrect the killed enemy on the spot, and the enemy rarely collapses or collapses.

The Scourge Army, relying on this tactic, swept through Northrend and conquered many forces, including Spider-Man.

But when it comes to an elite group like the Templars, this tactic is not very easy to use. In the field, they were unable to stop the Templars' onslaught, and they were unable to deal high enough damage, even if they were sent in exchange for injuries.

Many of the people of Andorhar were fortunate enough to see the madness of the Scourge Army, and a large number of ghouls rushed like wolves and cheetahs, flying at the front and back of the Templars, trying to use their own flesh and blood to stop the knights' advance.

But in fact, not to mention blocking, even if you let the knights slow down, you can't do it. The Templars' combined Barrier of Light can quickly incinerate filthy things, and these undead will not die, and rushing into the realm of the Barrier of Light is no different from jumping into a sea of lava and fire.

And the Abomination Big Fat Men who had managed to get together more than a hundred heads of the Cataclysm Army were also crushed by the Knights, and after more than half of them died in one stagger, the collapse of the Cataclysm Army followed.

I have to say that such a knight group can be restrained when the cold dragon comes, but that class is too difficult to come out, and there are only a few dragons in total, and if it is an ordinary adult dragon, the combat power is much worse, and the young dragon does not need to come out to offer ugliness, and there is only the share of being crushed.

Many of the undead were killed and scattered, and there were many forests here, and the Knights Templar did not chase the dead to the north, but took the opportunity to stop.

Kane explained before they acted, they are small in number, and they must work together as much as possible, not only to have a deterrent effect, but also to better protect each other. Their target was the local Great Regiment, and wherever the enemy gathered, the Knights' mounted spears would be pointed. Other tasks do not need to be done by them across borders.

This explanation worked very well.

Otherwise, with the arrogance of the Templars, most of them will go deep into the pursuit. After all, they are all experienced, and they are very confident in their skills and minds.

Seeing that the Templars did not take the bait, Kel'thugad could only give up, but he still had a few powerful cards to play in his hand, and even had a means to target powerful heroic units.

It's a pity that the opponent didn't give him a chance, and he could only admit the loss of this battle, and have the opportunity to get the field back in the future.

In the end, Alsace chose to hunt down Marganis to the ends of the earth.

It's just that this time he is not commanding the mixed coalition army of various ethnic groups in the original historical line, but the new army that he has prepared by agitation and promise.

In his mobilization speech, Arthas cleverly exploited his father's decision to kill the Black Gate at the end of the Second Beast War. Said: It is the consistent style of the alliance to eliminate evil, and if you have the guts, go to Northrend with him and turn the nest of the dead upside down.

As a result, due to the limitations of the times, many people were fooled and lame by Arthas, and the Falcon Vanguard, the Thunderspear Guard, and the Quel'Thalas Dispatch all volunteered to join, even the paladins of the Silver Hand.

More volunteers, local people who have been poisoned by the undead, whose homes have been destroyed, relatives and friends have been killed, and there is little good left in life, Arthas's proposal is exactly what they want, they want revenge, it's as simple as that.

And to Kane, this force is a bit of a bloody crusader.

The army moved quickly, and after scavenging supplies in the ruins of Stratholme, it was ready to go on the march.

It happened to be in the port of Fao, the neutral goblin fleet sent Kalimdor specialties here, they used the flying scissor sailing ship sold by Saar, which was big and fast, because of the big situation here, the King's Road was suspended, they did not return the goods, and did not want to go back empty, so they decided to wait a few more days.

As a result, when the Alsace deal came, these money-loving guys had never been to Northrend at all, but they would definitely arrive if they drove north, which wasn't difficult, right?

So the two sides reached an agreement, and Alsace began the Northern Expedition across the sea.

There was a hiccup in the process, when Terenus sent envoys to stop Arthas.

The envoy took into account the prince's face, and first talked to Alsace in private. I hope to persuade him to change his mind, so that he doesn't have to force it in public, and it is so ugly.

As a result, the two quarreled, and without knowing what hurtful words the envoy had said, Arthas moved his hand and knocked the people unconscious with one punch. He then came out and announced in public that the king had granted him the right to move freely.

Kane also commented afterwards: "It's not too dark, I didn't say that Terenus let him go on a northern expedition." ”

This was later covered by Terenus.

Kane could understand Terenas' train of thought, and if Alsace were victorious at Northrend, then it would be easy to say. On the contrary, you have to bear the consequences, old accounts, new accounts, and calculate them together.

After Arthas left, the Silver Hand, the Thunderspear, the Falcon, the Ranger, the Silver Eagle, and the Royal Praetorian Guard sent by the Kingdom of Lordaeron began to purge the remnants of the undead.

In Kane's cognition, there is no concept of what happened to Stratholme after the Northern Expedition in Alsace, and what happened in places such as Andorhar.

But when Alsace returned, the kingdom was able to hold a grand triumphal ceremony, welcoming the people and scattering flower petals, even if it was to divert the attention of the people, and the disaster area could not do nothing.

After all, Arthas later killed Uther in Andohar and snatched the urn, before the East and West Plaguelands were formed. At least not fully formed.

As for now, the disaster area is too large, and clearing the remnants of the undead must be a time-consuming and laborious task.

In addition, the Necropolis of Daron Town, the castle of the island in the lake of Keldaron, and the dungeon of Giant Peak Mountain, these are all places that need to be tackled and gnawed.

During the recent war, the Scourge plundered a portion of the population from Stratholme. The town of Talon was swallowed up by it entirely.

And the strategy designated by Arthas and others to concentrate the population on defense so as not to be urgently attacked, seems to have helped the Scourge Army and made it easier for them to end the pot.

And before its main force was defeated and scattered, Kane knew that the Scourge Army had left a part of the population in the Necropolis of Daron Town, and the rest were taken to the mountain city of Jufeng, so that there was no shortage of materials in these two places, and the immortals such as Abomination and Ghoul were rushing to make it.

Stratholme has also become a city of the dead, and there are too many undead to kill.

The coalition forces had done their best to save the operation, and the rescue operation continued until Arthas left with his troops.

For example, the Griffin Knight will stay in the air, shout through a loudspeaker, and ask the hiders to find a way to get to the rooftop, and they will take them away.

It is worth mentioning that Foding's loved ones survived.

Needless to say, his son Tyran, who is already a paladin of the Silver Hand, is training at the Hand of Tyr, and has also participated in many missions this time, and is growing rapidly.

The key is Ferdin's wife, Carandra. She lives in Stratholme, Kane has the Shadow to take care of her, and Calanderra and the others escape into the Order in time.

In the original historical line, the Stratholme Order District is the base camp of the Knights of the Silver Hand. Later, Saidan Dasohan led a band of Scarlet Crusaders to be stationed here.

And now, the Knights of the Silver Hand are not a small town station that can be accommodated, they have gone to the Hand of Tyr, towns, farms, and ports, as if they were a small country.

However, the Order District was a little militarized since the end of the Second Human-Beast War in the 6th year of the Warcraft calendar. So even if it is not as good as the fortress of the original historical line, it can be regarded as a strong fortress.

The main thing is that this is the place where the Silver Hand was founded, and it is also the location of the first cathedral of the Holy Light Faith Sect, which is of great significance, and it is impossible for the Knights of the Silver Hand to abandon this place.

After exchanging lessons with the Knights Templar, the Holy Light is also unceasing, and of course it is far less than the Great Templar. But it can still suppress evil energy to a considerable extent, at least it can warn.

After the catastrophe, it became an island of refuge, with a large influx of refugees and lurkers who created chaos, but they were suppressed and persevered until the arrival of the rescue force led by Arthas.

But in the end, the people here were evacuated by digging a gap outside the city, and the city had fallen, and there would be heavy casualties along the way if you wanted to go through the main gate.

The Knights Templar came here mainly to escort the priests, to detoxify the large number of refugees, and to identify the lurkers. At least in this name, the Knights Templar can be considered famous.

In fact, they both knew what was going on, and it was almost as soon as Tyrenus's second letter for help arrived in Soras's hands, and they had already appeared in Andorhar, apparently having already completed their deployment first, just waiting for a legitimate appearance permit.

After all, it was to save Andorhar, and Terenus didn't want to be too serious about the advance of other countries' troops. The official version is that the Knights Templar obtained permission from King Lordaeron to escort the priests of the Temple to eradicate the plague of the sick in the Talon region.

When it comes to detoxification, the magic potion that makes people undead is not contagious, and the similarity is that as long as it takes effect, it can permanently change the target and cannot be reversed.

The detoxification still has to hurry, due to the large number of people, the paladins of the Silver Hand have cast spells a few times, and there is no way to do it in a hurry.

In the refuge camp, it happened that the Cursed Cultists activated drugs in an attempt to cause chaos. But it was controlled.

Upon arrival, the Knights Templar used stored energy and related equipment to cause the sick to vomit and diarrhea, and the toxins were largely eliminated.

For the Cultists of the Damned, evil power is power, which has been transformed, but it is not visible on the outside.

Under the influence of the light, they did not vomit and diarrhea, but smoked and suffered all over their bodies.

This is actually also to dispel poison, it is the power of the Holy Light to fight against the evil energy in their flesh, but the flesh cells have become battlefields, such a trouble, it is not ordinary pain.
