Volume IV The Reign of Chaos 235 returns
I didn't expect my journey to be so bumpy, not because I met anyone or anything, but because I was always on the move. I never thought I would be sent back to replenish the troops.
Sylvanas said she was willing to go back, but Arthas did not agree, nor did he say why he did not, and the king did not need to explain why.
So I set out with Sarnos and the rest of the soldiers on my recommendation to return to Lordaeron and bring more soldiers to the king of Arthas.
Before leaving, Kel'thugad gave me a small bottle, and he told me to go to Barov's house on the island of Keldaron to find Araki and give it to him. I really don't know when or where this guy hid such a small black bottle on his body.
"Is this a new invention?" I asked him.
He only laughed and snorted.
And Sylvanas left me with the last look without a hint of warmth, even a bit of jealousy and hatred in it.
I'm just going back for her.
I heard Sarnos say that a person with a mole on his feet is not good, but he is a life of running and toiling, and he is always running around all his life and cannot stop. And I just had a mole on the surface of my right foot.
If I were still alive, maybe he would have spoken politely, or maybe it was because I had died now, so he didn't hold back at all, and he had nothing to say. But it didn't hurt my heart, I think it's quite right, I've been on the move, I've been running around when I'm alive, I'm still running around when I'm dead. Strictly speaking, I don't have a home...... Even if I have family, I can't see it, let alone take care of it.
The weather was not very good on the day of the voyage, it was cloudy, and the wind was blowing from the direction of the west-northwest, which was quite suitable. We're going to take most of the boats with us, after all, we're going to have to pack more walking corpses here when we get back.
Sarnos stood at the bow of the ship, and the wind blew off the hood from his head, revealing his burned face. His entire head was scorched, and his burned, but still existing ears, were still hanging from his head, but they would soon be gone.
His nose was gone, and both of his lips shrunk from the fire, revealing yellowed teeth. The skin on his face was so badly burned that his eyelids couldn't close.
This guy seems to me to have wanted to poison Lordaeron in the first place, and I don't know how he would feel if he was like now. But at that time, there was no mirror, and he couldn't see his appearance, but looking at the guys next to him who were not burned, he probably knew what was going on with his face, after all, his hands were also badly burned.
Your skin ...... Well...... Much stronger than theirs.
It's true!
The skin on your face is dark, but it is dark...... Uh, it's pretty even, it doesn't feel that ...... Belch...... It doesn't feel intimidating, I've seen people with the same color as your skin in Kul Tiras.
And if your face isn't burned, that guy's face will be different...... The skins are all gone. Maybe it was because of the humidity at sea, and then we went back to the north to catch the heavy snow, and I didn't feel the cold, but his ears inadvertently ...... It's gone!
Aren't your ears still fine? When one ear falls out and only one ear is left, it's really hilarious and ugly.
The voyage at sea took more than half a month, and I had no idea where it was when I saw the land. But it doesn't matter, we just need to find a place to park the ship, land, and find people.
On the night of landing, the moon was sparsely sparse, and the moon was large and round not far from the sea, and the beach was very beautiful! So here we landed.
There should be people in a beautiful place, and besides, this place is not a rugged place. So we found a couple of homes shortly after landing.
I didn't kill them directly, I had to understand where I was. But this kind of thing has to be done by me myself, if you let Sarnos estimate that the family will be scared to death in an instant.
Originally, I had asked the old couple where they were, and then I was going to let them join us, but Sarnos still broke in, and the old lady screamed in fright, and the old man fainted to death.
It was also at that time that Sarnos began to unconsciously touch his face, and even pulled a piece of skin off his face to look at it for a long time.
This is the westernmost Whispering Coast in the Tirisfa region, and the forests to the east and south are called the Whispering Forest, and the lord here is called Soval. At this time, however, Soval was following Arthas.
Sarnos personally turned these people into our soldiers, and although it did not go very well, in the end it succeeded. It was also an important step for him to gradually become a qualified lich.
In the days that followed, we searched for the village, and this area was a surprise to our discovery, and although Soval had become a Death Knight and destroyed his home, this part of his territory was unpolluted!
But just because you're not polluted doesn't mean it's okay, the people here have formed their own armed forces and I've found a familiar sign.
The color of Lordaeron's royal flag is blue on a white background, but the color of the royal flag here has been changed to red. And the clothes worn by the guards here are embroidered with a flaming maple leaf-like emblem. I have an impression of this thing in my memory, but I can't remember where I've seen it.
Sarnos was excited, and in his words, it was finally time for him to make a big impact.
But that town is not so easy to capture, and Sarnos does not have the ability of Alsace to really Kel'thugad, and besides, we really don't have many soldiers, although there are already two or three hundred people who have attacked several villages, but I still choose to be conservative in the face of those human forces.
It was right to be conservative, because I soon found that there was a wave of blood in the land, and that it was in a position to destroy the undead.
That's right, it's them...... Scarlet Crusaders!
The Scarlet Crusaders used to be a ...... Very well organized.
Since landing on the Whispering Coast, we've seen more and more of the Scarlet Crusaders. At that time, Lordaeron was a borderland, with no kings and not even a few decent lords.
This can't be helped, after all, when Arthas destroyed Lordaeron, almost all the people in the city were killed. There are also those who have escaped, but not many, and Arthas's sister Galia is missing.
And when Arthas left Lordaeron and burned all the way, unless he ran far in advance, not only would his home be gone, but people would also become his puppets.
But there weren't many nobles killed in Alsace along the way from Tirisfa to Quel'Thalas, but I found that not many survived in the end, especially in terms of population! It's all thanks to Kel'thugad and the Cult of the Damned.
It's been about a little over a month since we left here, but most of the destroyed towns have not yet returned, but some small villages have begun to return.
That's a good thing, but the only obstacle we have is the Scarlet Crusade!
When I first came into contact with the Scarlet Crusaders, I only knew that they were a large organization, but I didn't know what kind of people they were, especially those at the top.
They wear clothes with the same emblem, with a red strip of cloth tied around their head or left shoulder, and a distinct red insignia on their chest or left chest. It's fine in some small villages, but it's very common in big towns.
We can't compete with the big villages, so we can only choose the smaller villages to develop slowly. I believe that with a period of hard work, I will bring enough troops to Alsace.
But the news of our appearance was still spreading, and the Scarlet Crusaders took the initiative to find us!
We hurried down the road to Lordaeron, and while we weren't sure if the huge city would be reclaimed, one thing I was sure of was that it wasn't so easy to abandon! If we're lucky, we'll harvest one or two hundred heads there.
The initial idea was good, but just as we arrived at the Hash Manor, we were confronted by the Crusader forces. This army is still very well staffed in all aspects, cavalry squads, archers, and infantry are all available, looking at their appearance, this team is more than enough to fight a regular battle, but they are not facing humans, but us!
The manor had barely changed from the last time I had visited, when I had just come out of the burned manor and met them head-on. It's just that people are already lined up and waiting for us.
Sarnos was still excited, but he was at the head of the line and was immediately greeted by a bow and arrow, and almost all of them flew towards him.
He was dragged behind with arrows stuck in his body. One arrow sinked into his right eye, and the other shot out his already yellowed teeth. And in his chest, in his stomach, a dozen arrows were inserted.
I looked at him and thought he was done, but the only thing he had left was a bone in his left eye, and it looked disgusting!
"You're not dead!" I frowned.
He reached out and pulled the arrow out of his mouth, "Almost! As he spoke, he pulled out the arrow that had been inserted into his right eye, and I saw that the arrow was wearing a pierced eyeball.
"You're blind!" I say.
He rolled his remaining eyeballs at me, "I don't really need this thing to see." ”
As he spoke, he was about to get up, and I began to draw arrows from him, but by this time the human army had begun to charge at us.
"Help me up!" The lich screamed, and I found that without his front teeth, he was completely unaffected in his speech.
And when he stood up, he personally took all the arrows off his body. At this time, the human army had rushed to the front, and a whirlwind suddenly blew around Sarnos's body.
"Revenge! Revenge! He shouted!
