Volume IV Reign of Chaos 179 Lord Saval
If the human army had taken over here, they would have had enough food and treasure here, but it would be worthless to us.
We don't know if the news of the fall of Borean Castle has been known to the surrounding lords, and Arthas doesn't seem to care about these things. He now has enough soldiers, but he still lacks a general to lead them.
Although it didn't seem necessary at the time.
The army turned around and marched in a southwesterly direction. The largest nobleman in the northern part of the Tirisfa region is gone, and now one of the most powerful counties in the southwest needs to be dealt with...... Bedgritshire.
The lord of Bedgrettshire was Lord Saval, a man whom I knew very well, and whom I had seldom heard of even during my tenure in Lordaeron.
I didn't really have much curiosity to ask at the time, and even if he did, he wouldn't have told me about Alsace.
There was no long massacre and manhunt at the Castle of the North Wind. As he said earlier, he doesn't really want to kill everyone now, he once said that the new order of the world will come, and even those who are not willing to accept it for the time being, they will sooner or later throw themselves into the arms of the new order.
It is inevitable, and only the immortal can be forever separated from the new order in his mouth.
We had a war horse and a saddle, and when we were alive, we would ride on the horse as if we were sitting on it instead of riding or riding, but after we died, we lost our sense of pain, so we sat on it with our whole buttocks.
And after the war horse under the crotch is resurrected, there is no need to worry about feeding the grass, no need to worry about drinking the horse, and no need to worry about feeding the horse salt after walking for a long time.
It's a lot easier.
The next army to put up some resistance was Lord Nicholas Buzin, a retainer of the Duke of Gregor Agamande.
Nicholas Buzan was part of the second group of paladins led by Uther.
There were only five paladins in the first batch, and you know who they were. The second group of people who received the title of Paladin was even more. The second batch of paladins is really much more watery than the five people in the first batch.
All of them wield the power of the Light, but they weren't very strong. Alexandros Mograini was not a paladin until his death, he was a warrior. But there were few of the second batch of paladins who could compare with the old man Mograini.
This is the same as learning, the gap between ordinary people and geniuses is really not a little bit and a half.
Outside the ancient town of Xi, our vanguard was blocked, but in the face of the walking corpses that far outnumbered him, this lord named Buzan was still very brave. The ancient town of Creek was also the least slaughtered place in the Tirisfa region.
Because the vanguard that was dragged away was led astray, and when the army that was taken away returned to Xigu Town, they found that it had been emptied. And the manor, which was the seat of the lord, was not even a chicken.
Arthas was very annoyed after the first swoop, and at his orders I ran as fast as I could to Bedgritter with a large number of walking corpses.
This time the vanguard was led by myself, and because the advance was fast enough, we stopped the reinforcements before Lord Sauval summoned the whole county to prepare for a stubborn resistance.
At that time, because they only cared about speed, there were not many troops that could keep up, and there were even more people who fell behind halfway.
But I'm not worried, and there's nothing to worry about. Just to grab time.
As a result, outside the town of Goloms, my army met reinforcements. And it's not a support army. Almost all of the soldiers I brought with me in that battle were wiped out, and while we did wipe out some human troops, there weren't enough of them I brought with me in the face of the three-way trap.
After almost all the soldiers had been killed, my mission was accomplished, and the army of Alsace arrived. The human army immediately chose to retreat, and they retreated into the Valley of the Roses.
In the Valley of the Roses is the Castle of the Roses, which is the residence of Lord Saval. And the wall that stood outside the Valley of Roses became the hope of all in the valley.
After all, it is still very difficult to attack a city. However, after Alsace blocked the city with hundreds of thousands of troops, he did not immediately attack the city, but chose to climb the mountain at night.
The walking corpses don't climb walls, and they don't have ladders. But they can tirelessly search for all the ways to get into the valley.
So most of the walking corpses were scattered everywhere, each looking for a way into the valley.
At first glance, this method may seem okay, but after thinking about it, it may not work, but when you think about it, it is really a good way. Tens of thousands of pairs of eyes sprinkled in this mountain wilderness, although it will not immediately affect the people in the valley, but as long as the people in the valley dare to run out, especially from the path, it is easy to be discovered.
And the key thing is that this group of walking corpses can't be killed with bows and arrows alone.
The next morning they remained hostile, but before noon a letter came, finding their way into the valley.
That place would never be advantageous if it was attacked by humans, although the cliff was not very high, but the cliff was overgrown with thorns and it was indeed difficult to travel normally, and there was a watchtower. But it's not that hard for the walking dead.
Because they can fill the ravines with their own flesh, paving the way for those who come after them.
So the first walking corpses who fell off the cliff quickly paved a path with their bodies between the thorns and ravines, and then the army poured in from here. I didn't seem to be moving in the direction of the valley exit, and the attack here would soon set off a chain reaction.
I also stepped on their corpses into the valley, which was no worse than the Valley of the Hearth, a beautiful place indeed. But when the walking corpses rushed in frantically and pounced on the peasants who hadn't reacted yet, the place was suddenly chaotic.
In this way, Alsace sent the vast majority of his army into the valley. And the behavior of the walking corpses also shows that he doesn't want to stay alive.
The bells in the valley rang, but it was late.
Alsace came in at the end through the main entrance, and came in in style. I don't know if they escaped from this valley in the end, but this valley was full of three reinforcements from other places who came to help, and when we left here, there were really corpses all over the field, and there were dead people everywhere.
It's just that no one will collect their corpses, and before long it will not only be deserted, but also a terrible plague. After all, there are too many people who have died.
And after besieging the Rose Castle, Lord Sauval was initially very brave and determined, and I'm talking about the time when he led his army to defend the walls.
We have a pitiful number of brains in our ranks, but that doesn't stop us from taking the walls. The power of a large number of people is not only said by the living, but also by the dead, and the dead do not get tired.
The efficiency of hundreds of thousands of people doing the same thing is very high, and these guys are not afraid of bows and arrows and are not afraid of flames. Of course, the flames will definitely burn out, but it does not affect the painless walking corpses from other places to pour the soil under the city.
It is clear how desperate the people of the city are. This scene also appeared in other places, especially Silvermoon City. Ah, that's just ...... Despair to the extreme.
The walls of Rose Castle are really not that high, and the lowest wall is about three stories high. 20,000 people came to pour the earth at the same time, and it was unbearable, and one person carried a dustpan and 20,000 people came to pour it, so fast that the people defending on the city wall even cried.
They had no choice but to watch the walking corpses carrying dirt and stones walk past the flames and pour dirt on the higher and higher mounds. The walking corpses that were shot or burned became part of the mound to fill the mound. About two hours...... Our soldiers rushed up the walls. I really didn't know who Lord Saval was at the time, and I turned him out of his body when the battle was over. And at this time, the injuries on his body are really shocking, and he is a tough guy to be injured so much.
Facing such a lord, Arthas nodded for the first time in more affirmativeness, he admired this kind of nobility, so he turned out the body and brought the man back to life.
Lord Soval was surprised when he woke up, he did panic when he saw that there were corpses all around him, all dead people staring at him. Arthas frowned, revealing a hint of displeasure. And when the lord saw Arthas, his face was even more astonished, and he was even speechless for a while.
Arthas said lightly: "Welcome to the resurrection." ”
Seeing the disbelief in Lord Saval's eyes, Arthas explained, "You were once a vassal of the king, and you still are. ”
"I am only loyal to the king!"
"I am the king!" Arthas glanced at him.
"You killed your father and seized power!" Soval retorted. "People and gods are angry!"
"To you I am God." Arthas shook his head slightly, "Now that you're alive again, I didn't mean you to talk back to me. He pointed to the jawless Demmon, "whose jaw has been lost forever because of the words." Alsace owes a debt, "Are you ready to serve me?" ”
This man is quite principled, he did not give in but chose to scold. Arthas only frowned, then pressed his sword against his heart. Soval looked at Arthas in surprise, but he still didn't give up.
Arthas stabbed his sword gently and slowly through his torn chest. It was at this moment that he began to scream, and his screams gradually increased, even a little tragically.
There was no one to hold him, no one to tie him, he just stood there stiff. Arthas gritted his teeth, "Get on your knees!" He squeezed the word out of his mouth.
Lord Soval began to tremble, and the white soul seemed to be about to leave his body. The sword glowed blue, and the light grew bluer and bluer until Soval fell to his knees.
When Soval looked up again, his eyes were bloodshot red. And the expression on the face is no longer distorted, no longer afraid, no longer entangled, no longer struggling. The current expression is very indifferent, or indifferent.
In fact, it is expressionless, but it is more ...... than expressionlessness A little more emotionless. Yes, it can be said that it is obvious in his eyes that he has lost his feelings. It's not as sluggish as the wooden man, but you can still see a ...... in his eyes Undeserved disgust.
There was really a hint of disgust in those eyes.
Even at the time, I was amazed at the change. What has become of his soul?
I'm curious.
But this curiosity lasted only two days, and the next day Soval presented his whim to Arthas.
Ha, this word is actually inaccurate, it is a whim, but I think this seed has been planted in his heart for a long time, but this soul transformation has allowed it to take root and thrive.
That's what I told you earlier...... He's actually a butcher.
I really don't know him, even if he's dead. After all, I can't get information about him from anyone's mouth. However, this man really is one of the greatest people of the Scourge of the Dead.
I'm saying this from the perspective of the Scourge.
He created ...... Hate!
There is still a research base for abomination north of Crown Glacier...... Ha!
He was the original designer. This man is a butcher, a master creator, and an extremely powerful death knight.
I really underestimated him before, he was really amazing!
The next day, he became a Death Knight and took out his heirloom from his home, which he called Destiny.
That sword is indeed a good sword, the sword body is wide and sharp, the main thing is that although the sword looks big, it is not overwhelming. When I took this weapon at the time, I was really amazed by the craftsmanship, this sword can be said to be very handy!
And the whimpering whistling that he carried when he slashed really announced the fate of the enemy. But one thing is interesting, since he started to slash people with this sword, red blood mist began to appear on the sword of this sword, and the more people he killed, the heavier the blood mist on this sword.
Later, when the sword is drawn from its scabbard, a miserable cry can be heard.
But this man's fate is actually not good, at least not better than me. I don't have a family, but he has a family, and even though his family has become the walking dead, he still loves his family, and his wife is unrecognizable. It's really unrecognizable! In the end, it is truly unrecognizable.
He also had two daughters, and though they wandered aimlessly with their mother around the Rose Castle when I met them, the man did not dislike them for being like this.
Interestingly, although his family was killed by the Alsatian army, he did not allow the souls of his beloved wife and children to return to the dead body.
He had kept the soulless corpse simply because he wanted to keep them as a memento. But these memorials ended up in the hands of mankind.
The woman and the child were burned beyond recognition. According to him, the three of them struggled with extreme pain before they died.
Do you know who did this?
Ha! You don't know anything about the South and the North, and soon after the fall of Lordaeron, and especially shortly after Uther's death, the original Order of the Silver Hand disappeared completely, replaced by an organization called the Scarlet Crusaders.
There are quite a few celebrities in that order, the most powerful paladin in mankind, Saidan Dasohan, Invar, Mograine and Sons, General Abydis, the famous Falbanks, the famous Scholar of the Light, and the famous One-Eyed Tyrossos, who I shot blind.
But then the group of people was out of tune, mainly ...... There are several people in their minds......
Belch...... I'm not saying it's off-track.
His family was mutilated by the Scarlet Crusaders.
It can't be said that it is mutilated, in the eyes of normal people, these things are the same as locusts on the grain, and rats in the granary.
They burned down the family of three. It was also from the time he found that his last memorial was gone, and the things he created were no longer simple abominations.
Did you know there's a monster named Peachwick?
