Volume IV The Reign of Chaos 244 The Folly of Man

King Stormgard used the blood of his own people to experience how terrible a scourge of the dead can be.

The dwarves appeared to us at the right time before we withdrew from Hinterland, they should have heard of us from the humans, but the griffin cavalry of the Hammerhammer Dwarves had been flying over our heads without the dwarven army attacking us.

I remembered the days I had fought with them, and I thought of Vorstad and Kurland. And I don't want to see the Furstad who has earned the title of "Dragon Raider" right now.

While our previous friendships were good, I knew how strong the griffon knights were, and the hammers they threw as they dived from high altitudes could have smashed any of our heads.

I reminded Sylvanas to retreat, even at night. Although Sylvanas would taunt me, I was too lazy to argue with this woman at the time, and this woman listened to my advice despite her unforgiving words.

It was this sleepless march that allowed us to escape before the dwarven army could stop us.

Until then, we had never resurrected a dwarf, not because we didn't want to, but mainly because we didn't have the chance. In my first mind, it would be easier to defeat the dwarves in a wide area. But it was definitely a mistake and I paid for it.

After escaping from the forests of Hinterland, Sylvanas had no intention of attacking the people near Dunhold. Although there were dwarven chasers behind me, I didn't feel like she was afraid of this, or that she really had something unspeakable.

That's what I thought.

Well...... Now that I think about it...... I feel like she's a very, very self-conscious woman, and she's supposed to be all the way to that guy named Gunther.

Gunther this guy, I felt from the first glance when I saw him resurrected, this guy is not a reliable guy, if Arthas is sitting here, he probably won't have any moths, but now that Arthas is thousands of miles away, his strength is actually very weak, and there is still a certain binding force on those low-level walking corpses, but for us......

I mean......

I felt like there were some signs of loosening, images and ...... that kept flashing through my head The image is proof of that. And as the first strange person in Dalaran, Gunther's spiritual power is definitely more than that of the vast majority of people.

I think so.

Either he had worked so hard to come back to life, and he had disappeared in an instant after Alsace went to Northrend.

And when I think about it now, I feel that Sylvanas is the same, after Arthas left Lordaeron, he walked on the front foot, and Sylvanas stood on his own feet on the back foot.

And judging from the summary of this special woman's usual performance, it should not be a day or two for this woman to want to break away from Alsace.

Yes? What did you say?

Well...... If you say this, maybe she really doesn't want to meet the living sword soldiers from the bottom of her heart. Well, you have a point!

But I didn't understand it at the time, I just thought that this woman was unreasonable, and she had something wrong with her brain, her spirit, and her personality was even more flawed.

But the leaders of Stormgard apparently thought we weren't that terrible. This country has already experienced a defeat in our attack on Dalaran, but it is clear that the king who faces us today has not learned his lesson.

Their cavalry would play an extremely important role in a normal battle, but this is not the case before, and only a large number of mages can control the situation. On their own, they will die a terrible death!

Ah, I almost forgot, maybe they had their dwarven brothers to support them, so they felt that their army was also able to fight in an instant, and they could fight and conquer everything.

The good part of that battle was that the Stormgards sent enough heads, and the bad part was that the Hammer Dwarves almost killed me and us Sarnos and Araki.

When the battle began, the dwarves were still following us, but they didn't catch up. The Stormgard army was supposed to be three or four times our number, but they didn't rush straight up, at first harassing us, and then trying to hold us down as much as possible to slow down our march so that the dwarves could catch up with us and form an encirclement around us.

But no matter how stupid I am, I can think of such a thing, and Sylvanas agrees with my analysis. So, in order to break out of the encirclement, I led a third of my troops out of the main force, and I was ready to attract fire.

If I manage to attract an army of about 10,000 troops, then once the enemy takes the bait, Sylvanas' large army can support us, and if we fight hard enough, we can quickly eat those 10,000 men.

And if there are reinforcements behind the 10,000 people who want to eat us and ignore the large army, then we still do fire attraction to ensure the smooth breakthrough of the large army.

But this situation should not have happened in my analysis at the time. Because this group of guys dares to fight me with three or four times the number of troops, it is probably not very clear about our combat effectiveness.

But there's no better way to do this situation, and I don't really want to experience what it's like to fight the dwarves once they're caught up.

We now have four resurrected berserkers and seven abominations in our team, and I didn't choose to take Berserkers and Abominations with me, just almost all the trolls and a small handful of ghouls, and the other walking corpses make up only a third of my team.

Gunther and Sarnos are on my team, so I've got to make sure we have enough firepower in the event of a clash.

And so we left the group, and as I expected, we were targeted by a force shortly after we broke away from the main group. Their troops have been standing next to us all alongside us, but now that we are going to break out, we must collide with them.

Their cavalry...... In fact...... It's okay!

If you are facing human soldiers, the charge of their knights can be regarded as a beautiful scenery. But this group of guys is facing us, and our soldiers are not afraid of horses colliding, nor are they afraid of horses stepping on horses, and they are not afraid of you rushing among them.

Although this kind of cavalry is fully armoured, and most of them are heavily armoured, so what?

Human soldiers instinctively fear when they see cavalry charging, and after rushing in, they usually survive longer than ordinary soldiers, perhaps much longer, and what if they take a few hits on their bodies, even if their armor is smashed?

However, they are more likely to kill and wound more enemy soldiers when resisting the attack, and this pressure can be very effective.

But our soldiers are not only not afraid but will also be very happy to meet them, as soon as the horses are stopped and stabbed down, the people on the horse will fall and immediately be thrown to the ground by our soldiers. Often, it's not one person, it's usually three.

At this time, it is basically impossible for the cavalry to swing a knife to slash, at most it is a stab. But the stab has little effect on our soldiers, and it will also make the sword in the opponent's hand get out of his hand because of it.

Therefore, the survival rate of the cavalry that rushed in at the beginning was extremely low as long as they were pulled off their horses, except for some lucky ones who were not captured.

The soldiers in the back could have taken the opportunity to cover up after the cavalry charge disrupted our formation and caused chaos, so that they would win. But we are not alive!

It's chaotic, but we won't run away!

And...... Gunther and Sarnos are all using fire spells at this time!

The bodies of the burned soldiers were still burning, and billowing smoke enveloped the battlefield. In fact, I felt that two or three minutes after their cavalry rushed into our ranks, their commander should have known that they were going to lose the battle. If he was sober enough, he would have been fine if he had blown the trumpet and retreated, but he didn't.

I guess my brain couldn't react for a moment.

I also understand him, after all, everyone is confused sometimes, and who hasn't been a little lucky?

So their soldiers rushed up, and the charge was very beautiful, but as soon as they came into contact with us, they quickly fell behind.

After all, after the two lichs unleashed a wall of fire spell at the same time, cutting off the front and rear troops with two walls of fire not far apart, and their follow-up troops could be regarded as delayed fighters.

The person who charged in front didn't know that there was a fire in the back, but if the front rushed in and couldn't keep up, it would be a mortal thing. And our troll warriors are really unambiguous, they are originally taller than humans, and after they die, their mobility is a little sluggish, but their strength is not a little bit or two!

By the time the human soldiers behind the wall of fire circled around and rushed over again, the momentum had been instantly reduced by half. Instead of unleashing the Wall of Fire, the two mages used a Flame Blaster and a Flame Nova...... Well, that's the name...... Flame Nova!

The front of the troops they bypassed rushed in, but the ones behind were stopped by the flame blaster and the flame nova again.

This situation is incredible! When they are afraid, hesitated, and stunned, it indicates that not only has their morale declined, but they have also developed doubts and fears.

This situation is a must-lose.

Why were we able to rush to the Gate of Damnation back then? At that time, it was not ordinary people who led the charge, but all paladins and monks of the Holy Light, as well as some blessed warriors. Wave after wave of charges is to ensure that the damage inflicted on the soldiers by the mages is reduced, and more importantly, to prevent the demoralization caused by the rush to the top.

Therefore, the 10,000 men first folded the cavalry, and then the two charges were blocked, and the morale at this time had dropped to a relatively low level, but they still rushed hard.

Why?

Because they still think they are too many!

Of course, the number of people is a very important issue, at least psychologically, you will not panic because you suddenly find that there is no one around. There are their own companions everywhere, which can be a great encouragement to soldiers on the battlefield.

But ordinary flesh and blood can't compete with us, so in the end...... Before our large army could come to our aid, it was defeated.

We chose to clean up the battlefield, and I think there is time to do it. After all, with so many corpses, I can almost complete the task of the King of Arthas, and there is no news from the large army for the time being.

At the time, I overlooked the fact that I should have sent more scouts and heralds when I was fighting!

Just as we happily cleaned up the battlefield...... The dwarves have arrived.
