In the side hall of the royal city of Lordaeron, a court mage suddenly pounced on Terenus and blew himself up.

It must be said that this was an assassination operation with a high probability of success.

This mage assassin didn't even switch to the curse system common to the Scourge Army, but still used arcane arts. This makes it extremely deceptive, and even the investigation of the Holy Light system has been missed.

And the timing of this assassination was also very good.

Normally, Terenus is either seated on a throne and kept his distance from the person being heard, or he is wearing armor and protected by a personal guard.

It is only in this situation that leaks inadvertently.

The personal guards are not far away, but the mage assassin is even closer!

Seeing that Terenus was about to be killed by a self-destructing assassin who turned flesh and bones into fragments.

The light and shadow in front of Terenus flashed, and there was one more figure.

Immediately followed by an explosion, the bright light shone, the flesh and blood splashed, the core radius of this explosion was almost 5 meters, not to mention the advisors of Terenus, even the rest of the court mages were affected.

The scene after the explosion was very tragic, the people who were blown up were gone, and the farther ones were often embedded with bone stubble fragments, not only the damage caused by the fragments, but also the mana toxin, that is, the assassin deliberately did not temper the magic when ingesting the magic power, so that the harmful energy exceeded the standard, and it was used to harm people at the moment.

Due to the huge power of the explosion, no one at the scene could stand firmly, and even the guards were blown away by the impact, injuring their internal organs, and one of them vomited blood, obviously seriously injured.

The professionalism of the guards and the sense of honor in their hearts made them get up and rush to check on Terenus as soon as possible.

It turned out that Terenus himself removed the person he was holding on and stood up.

Unscathed, all disheveled, slightly embarrassed. Terenus looked around with a gloomy face, and then gave orders to the guards who rushed in at the sound of the movement.

More than ten minutes later, Tyrenus, neatly dressed and protected by a new group of guards, listened to the report in the war room.

He had recently released the news that he had been seriously injured and dying, and that the guards who rushed in, except for a few who he thought were credible, were grounded to prevent any renegades from leaking the news.

One of his stand-ins secretly arrives to play the role of a seriously injured person, and along with the other wounded, he is treated in the treatment department. And he activated another system, where he deployed troops.

is such a deliberate acting, naturally I want to see who will jump out and make trouble at this time.

Terenus was well aware that along with the assassination, there must be pretenders to the throne, and even the assassination itself was related to it. If he can't take the opportunity to get rid of it, how can he be worthy of this near-miss death?

"Your Majesty, the man is dead. When he was protecting His Majesty, he cast a special spell that seemed to be sacrificing his own life. ”

Terenus's face sank like water, he couldn't see any expression, and his voice was calm, and he asked, "What about your identity?"

The person reporting submits a written submission.

Terenus looked through it, and it detailed the man's past, including his family, and the bodyguards.

"The remains are embalmed and stored in the underground palace. This is the end of the matter, and the relevant records record that it was the Dharma weapon I wore that played a role in the stress and saved my life. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty. ”

Terenus knew it, and he guessed that it was probably Kane's handiwork. doesn't need much evidence to speculate on the character's character, among the top people today, that Prince Garin is the only one who can do this kind of thing, and has the ability and conditions to do it.

Terenus was resentful, not because Kane had planted men to his left. Every king is doing this kind of thing, and the intensity of investment and the results are different.

What made Terenus angry was that he, who called himself an eagle, was really taken care of by a junior. He is too old to cope with the life of a king? This is just a daily routine, not a treacherous political game.

If one room is not governed, why should the world and the country be?

Although there are no such concise proverbs in this world, there are still sayings with similar meanings.

Applied to Terenus, he can't even greet his own personal safety at least, what kind of political game is he playing?

The achievements of the past have now become a backdrop for incompetence, and it is this that Terenus is angry.

Coupled with the betrayal of his son Arthas, Terenus's self-confidence was somewhat shaken.

This means that he needs a decent victory, not only to regain confidence and face, but also to be able to relieve the resentment in his heart.

At the same time, Kane receives an urgent report about the assassination of Lordaeron Palace and the death of an agent.

"Is it really that simple?"

Kane's suspicious personality flares up again.

Assassinate Terenus and take advantage of the chaos to wreak havoc on the royal city of Lordaeron. Maybe add to that the rescue of Arthas?

Truth be told, Kane couldn't have thought of anything more serious.

After the events of Stratholme, all countries, including the Kingdom of Lordaeron, have long memories. Strengthened the access management of lifeline materials.

Moreover, the royal city of Lordaeron is a key area to be cleaned. It is not an ordinary door-to-door investigation of officers and soldiers, but through the belief in the Holy Light, the neutrality of the enemy and the enemy, this is a real implementation of the bottom of the sweep, after the completion of the black households, homeless people and so on are basically gone, where is there still the soil for large-scale gathering of cults?

The scale is insufficient, and it is only a small force, which is not enough to bring too much damage to a city in a short period of time. After all, it is their own territory, and with the help of the people, it will be difficult for cult members to survive, let alone make trouble.

So, Kane couldn't think of the possibility of Lordaeron becoming a second Stratholme.

That's why it feels weird. I don't know what kind of chess the Legion of the Day Calamity is playing.

At the same time, after nearly 4 hours of fierce fighting at Beiliu Fort, the battle finally came to an end.

This land, which will go down in history as a bloody battlefield, is still full of bloodlust and passion.

Even the wind and snow seemed to feel this, and the cold wind rolled up the broken snow, sprinkled and swirled and fluttered, embellishing a strange poignancy to the fiery battlefield.

Due to the overcasting of spells in the area, this area has been reduced to a zone of mana disorder, which has severely affected the casting of spells, as well as the effects of working spells.

For example, the magic eye used for observation is affected by the magic of disturbance, and it cannot be seen realistically.

Even, from time to time, there was a smoky light shining in the void, it was a violent magical turbulence, and when it appeared in the lower area, the creatures who were unfortunate enough to crash into it knew how terrible it was behind the magnificence.

The Scourge still refuses to admit defeat.

To be fair, if Kane is from the other party's point of view, he will also be unbalanced. After all, the battle damage ratio is too ugly.

At first, it seems to be half-hearted, and even from the general situation, the natural disaster side is more victorious.

However, now that the Abomination Corps has been depleted, the number of bronze golems has not decreased much.

What's going on?

Actually, to put it bluntly, it's nothing. It's a copper puppet, strictly implementing the 'piranha tactics'.

In Kane's words, "In the big battlefield, only rookies will fight with passion, and veterans rely on discipline, tactics, and finally combat skills." ”

This tactic is actually quite difficult to implement. You can't be afraid of war, you can't be brutal, you can't be sharp, but you can't be greedy.

The Demon-Altered Ogres did it, because they were puppets.

The essence of piranha tactics is to advance and retreat in an orderly manner. Observing the piranha eating, you can have a deep understanding of this, and the individual piranha, go up and take a bite and withdraw, and the back part is immediately ......

On the battlefield, completing this set is easier said than done.

And the copper puppets did not take advantage of it and leave, but resumed evacuation and evacuation of injuries.

This once made the battle show a stalemate, and even the illusion of natural disasters prevailing.

In fact, whether it is a single soldier or an array cooperation, the copper puppet is stronger, and the abominants rely on huge losses to play a winning effect.

It's a pity that the volunteers basically don't have morale, and the secondary dragonmen have the possibility of collapse in the face of the abomination corps charge, but they can't meet it, and they don't die by brushing ghouls and other cannon fodder with guns, even if there is no artillery fire support, guns and cannons against minions, that scene can be called hanging.

The Huixing Formation of the secondary dragonmen, under the command of the war drums, is constantly moving in the wilderness, like a section of embankment, resisting the tide of natural disasters and cannon fodder troops.

With every collision, there are always a large number of low-level immortals, who die like waves crashing on a reef.

And almost every quarter of an hour, there is a round of fierce waves and defeats, nearly 4 hours, more than a dozen rounds, how many low-level cannon fodder the Cataclysm Legion has died, you can imagine.

But they were still tenacious, and the gargoyles flew low and blew their horns, and the scattered and dazed ghouls and skeletons, hearing the sound of the horns, had a backbone and chased after them.

There is no way, this is a big battlefield, even if it is daytime, you don't know what the overall situation is like, and even in the absence of a flag, you can't tell which side is the enemy and which side is the friend, and you see the corpses all over the wilderness. With the brains of ghouls, they are separated from the group, and they don't even have a target, let alone a skeleton that doesn't even have a brain.

And it's night, and even if you have night vision, not everyone can treat the night as a cloudy day, but they have the farthest vision, and the farther away is the foggy darkness.

In this case, on the contrary, it is a special magic horn with energy fluctuations, which is more useful.

The Scourge still understands that you have to clench your fists, take them back and strike again. So every time the cannon fodder attack is dispersed, they will gather and then attack.

Of course, this work has to be done in conjunction with other types of attacks, after all, the volunteers are not dead people, and they will not just watch the enemy regroup again and again.

The method used by the Scourge to cover the collection of skirmishers is a magical strike.

Cursed Wizards, Bone Mages, legion-sized spellcasters.

Since it was a cluster spell, the conscription was also obvious, and in the distance, I saw that the sky was all lit up by the light of magic. That's where the swarm begins, like what you see from a distance when an artillery position fires, but it's more magnificent.

Although the secondary dragon man troops are always moving, they still rely on hard shoulders to attack magic. Not only is the movement speed not as fast as the strike speed, but also because the magic strike is guided, the archmages of the Scourge Army are responsible for the network guidance, and the area where their spiritual power is locked is the landing point of those magic strikes.

The magic strike is like a wave of cannonball-covered bombardment, arcing in the sky and flying down.

The secondary dragons, on the other hand, used the defensive field scroll again, as if holding up a huge glowing turtle shell, negating most of the blows, and a small amount, even if it could penetrate, greatly reduced its power, which could be carried by people.

The wounded and dead, it should be treated, and it should be sent out of the array to have its own special personnel to do this, while the others continued to listen to the war drums and orders, marching silently. There was no conversation, not even much expression.

This is the individual in the war. Relative to the big picture, most are unable to confirm their own situation, but are almost mechanical, offering their own strength, knowing victory or defeat.
