Chapter 278: The Knights of the Black Blade and the Attack
The horn of the Northern Expedition was approaching, but before the coalition could make a move, the Lich King took the lead.
Hidden in the easternmost sky of the Eastern Plaguelands, the floating fortress of Acherus, suddenly descended to a low-altitude area visible to the naked eye. Immediately, the Death Knights of the Knights of the Black Blade, who had been waiting in the fortress for a long time, made a move.
They raided the Scarlet Vanguard's seaside towns and killed a large number of Scarlet soldiers and civilians.
The town of Scarlet Vanguard was slowly expanded from the Hand of Tyre's fortress, and General Bridget Abydis rebuilt the section of the wall facing the sea after realizing that the Hand of Tyre could no longer accommodate the growing ranks. The civilians descended from the newly opened gates to the easternmost coastal region of the Eastern Plaguelands and established a new satellite town.
The sudden attack of the Death Knights stunned the Scarlet Vanguard, but only for a moment. After many years of war experience, the Scarlet Vanguard quickly reflected and began to organize a counterattack.
By the time the Scarlet Soldiers had assembled an effective defensive front, Scarlet County had fallen by at least a third of the way, and the undead army was wreaking havoc on the ruined towns and spawning more ghouls and skeletons all the time.
Silver Dawn next door immediately sent troops to support after receiving the news, and the two sides are currently engaged in brutal street fighting in the towns of Scarlet County.
Bridget was furious, these damn Death Knights didn't come sooner or later, and they had to wait until their satellite towns were built.
The most infuriating thing is that the Scarlet Vanguard is also separated and surrounded by the army of the undead on the seaside dock in the easternmost part.
If you want to support the docks, you must break through the blockade of the undead.
If you don't care about it, that's even worse. All of the Scarlet Vanguard's shipbuilders and engineers were trapped on the docks, along with three transports and one battleship about to be launched.
These are all treasures squeezed out by the Scarlet Vanguard Military Province, waiting to be used to participate in the Northern Expedition.
How could it be so cheap to give up a natural disaster!
So as soon as the two sides started the war, they used all their strength, and it seemed that they wanted to decide the outcome of the battle.
The Scarlet Vanguard was anxious to clear the way to the docks, so they frantically stormed with the army of Silver Dawn.
And the Undead Scourge also seems to want to completely destroy the Hand of Tyr fortress and kill all the Scarlet Vanguard. Especially on the front lines, the Order of the Black Blade directly sent elite members such as Lord Soval, Lady Olista, and the Lich Aman Sagard as commanders.
For a while, the eyes of the whole world were focused on the Eastern Plague Land, paying attention to the sudden war here.
The Alliance and the Horde sent out inquiries and offered to send an army to support them at any time, but they were thanked and refused.
Bridget Abydis believed that the current situation was still under control, and that the scales of victory were slowly tilting in his favor, so there was no need to bother the Alliance and the Horde with a hasty march or a great voyage across the ocean.
Therefore, except for the timely arrival of Silver Dawn to support, and the next-door neighbor Lordaeron Restoration Army remained in combat readiness and ready to support at any time, no new side joined this local war.
Blackwind Fortress Acherus.
The Lich King's projection stood on the edge of a semi-open-air terrace of the fortress, looking out below at the Eastern Plaguelands and the Chapel of the Light at the Silver Dawn in the distance.
"Well done, Mograine, continue with your plan, and continue to give the Scarlet Vanguard the illusion of victory. Soon... The time will come to add another fire and draw in more of the Silver Dawn army. ”
The Dark Lord Alexandros Mograini bowed to the Lich King.
"As you wish. ”
The second son of the Grand Lord of Mograini, Darien Mograini, stood respectfully to the side. Since being killed by his father at Naxxramas and resurrected as a Death Knight, Darien has become the second Horseman of the Apocalypse after Mograine.
The Lich King continued to turn in satisfaction, looking down at the plague-ravaged land below.
In the Chapel of the Wish of Light, Tirio Fortin is receiving a special guest.
"Silly, send all of your Silver Dawn main forces to support the Scarlet Vanguard, now your lair is empty, and that bitch of the Lich King is waiting for this opportunity!"
Oscar, with his short legs crossed, sat casually in the chair in front of Tirio.
Tirio frowned when he heard this, "The Lich King wants to attack the Chapel of Light's Wish? Oh... I still underestimate the extent of Arthas's depravity, and he wants the countless bones of the Heroic Spirit at the bottom of the church?"
The High Lord slammed the table, and the table top was immediately full of cracks.
"There's not enough time to bring the troops back now, and the sudden void in the line of defense will be devastating to Bridget's little girl's army. Tirio looked apprehensive as he pondered what to do.
Oscar laughed a few times.
"Thank you, Lao Tzu, the army of the dead in Stratholme has quietly lurked near the Holy Light Guard Tower not far away, as long as your side can hold on for half an hour, my reinforcements can arrive. ”
Tirio nodded gratefully to his lover, the Death Knight, "Silver Dawn owes you a favor, Oscar Diamond." However, it is also unknown whether the strength of the Chapel of Light's Wish can withstand the Lich King's elite army for half an hour. ”
Bang!
A crystal cup emitting holy light Oscar shook out of the space ring with a look of disgust.
"Damn, I'm burning Lao Tzu! This is what the Titan God specially asked me to send you, it seems to be called "Small Artificial Naru Essence Experimental Prototype", that group of Holy Cult Army madmen made a thing, with this disposable crystal can temporarily urge and awaken those sleeping paladin heroic spirits in the underground mausoleum, so that they can contribute enough power to defeat the elite natural scourge. ”
Tirio curiously picked up the crystal and observed, the Great Lord still trusted the Titan God very much, but he was curious about how this thing could be related to Naru.
Tirio does not believe in Naaru, he firmly believes that Naru does not represent the Light, and that Naru is by no means the creator of the Light, but only believers who also use the Light's powers. Tirio firmly believes that the Light is supreme and noble, the condensation of the will of justice, and the rules of origin that have existed since the beginning of the universe.
So if Tirio had to choose a side, then he would definitely choose the Titan Sarodar without hesitation, after all, everyone is one world, although the Titan God uses the dawn and morning light, but now the relationship between the two knights has long been put aside from prejudice and hostility.
"Surely there will be no irreparable damage to the Immortals?Of course, I don't question the slightest hint of the Sarodar Divine Deity, but it must... ”
Oscar interrupted Tirio's rambling with a wave of his hand.
"No, no, no, at most because of the overdraft of the strength of the deeper sleep. Anyway, there was so much light in that mausoleum that their souls couldn't dissipate. ”
Tirio breathed a sigh of relief.
With the help of the sleeping Heroic Spirits in the Temple of Light, even the Lich King himself ran over, and Tirio had the confidence to repel him.
At this time, Oscar mysteriously came over.
"By the way, you can take this opportunity to snatch the Ashbringer from that bastard of Mograine, and with the power of countless Heroic Spirits, purifying that artifact is no problem at all. ”
Tirio's eyes brightened when he heard this.
