A Will Eternal Chapter 545
The Kingdom of Lordaeron's army was ambushed at Caer Darrow. In order to preserve his strength and avoid being overwhelmed by bad luck, Uther had already decided that he would lead the Silver Hand's paladins to the rear, and the rest should evacuate as much as possible.
Alsace and Jaina also retreated with the others, and along the way were harassed by the undead's guerrilla forces mainly composed of gargoyle troops.
Gargoyles not only dive to attack, but also throw poison and explosive barrels. After being injured, it will fall to the nearby rocky heights to recover, which is very hated.
The main ground attack unit of the natural disaster side is a large number of ghouls and relatively few abominations, but what is even more abominable is the bone archer who shoots cold arrows. These bone archers belong to the magic puppets created by the ritual. There is no time limit, but they need to replenish their magic power within the time, otherwise they will be finished.
Melee, ranged attack, meat shields, rangers, and the natural disaster troop, although there are not many types of troops, but the mix of troops is relatively complete, which caused a lot of trouble for Alsace and the others.
The bigger problem is the waterway across the lake. Not only are there gargoyles in the sky, but there are also a large number of undead man-eating flying fish in the lake, jumping out of the lake and biting them. Their teeth are like rusty nails. It's chilling.
There are only small boats at Keer Dalong Dock, and the number is not large. It takes several times to transport people back and forth. Under the attack of the Scourge, let alone the miserable situation and depression.
What's even more hateful is that when Alsace and the others were busy saving people, Malganis swaggered and led a group of gargoyles to fly over, and even greeted Alsace: "Young prince, thank you for preparing for me. I will accept the gift from Andorhal."
Alsace was so angry that his face was distorted.
He blamed himself for taking the lead in rushing into Caer Darrow recklessly, and he also resented the insidiousness of the Barov family.
He even had a bit of resentment towards Uther.
He felt that if Uther hadn't failed to notice his face as the king's representative in the Mourning Hills and the River Mouth Bridge, he might not have rushed into the trap in a hurry...
The invasion of Malganis' flying army could not bring about the fall of Andorhal.
Uther was scheming, and he was prepared to take precautions against Tiaohulishan, and his troops were sufficient. After the people gathered everywhere, the militiamen alone were not weak.
Also, the undead army's invasion of Kel'Thuzad last night made people extremely vigilant, including guarding against those lurking Cultists of the Curse.
Uther had hinted beforehand,
Most of the hidden curse believers still exist. Even if it is for detection and surveillance, they will not activate all the latent members in an ambush.
Therefore, beware of sabotage from within.
The actual situation was expected by Uther, and sure enough, the lurking Cultists of the Curse broke out at the right time and made trouble again, but they were quickly subdued or killed, and no major accidents were caused.
Unfortunately, Darrow County was unable to keep it.
Just as the Falcon Cavalry Commander Salerian had calculated the furthest attack plan, Kel'Thuzad led the undead army to Darrow Town, and took it inside and outside.
It's worth mentioning that Kel'Thuzad made good use of the Catacombs of Darrowshire.
The cave burial custom there can be traced back to Thoradin's time, and the Seven Kingdoms still retain this custom, one is Darrow Town in the Kingdom of Lordaeron, and the other is Raven Ridge in Stormwind City.
Crow Ridge in the western part of the Twilight Forest of the Storm Kingdom is more famous. It is simply a big town that started with the funeral industry. It is very professional in embalming corpses and so on. The scale of the large tombs there is even larger than here.
Darrowtown is even older and is now being used by the Scourge.
A large number of corpse soldiers, white bones, were produced, which were accumulated over many days, and they were also an important source of Kel'Thuzad's undead soldiers.
Uther and the others hadn't figured out why the Scourge could lurk such a huge undead army in the Kingdom of Lordaeron without being discovered.
After seeing the situation of the great tomb in Dalong Town, I finally understood.
Kel'Thuzad, in essence, united with traitors such as the Barov family and used terrifying technology to build a large army in the Darrow region.
During the capture of Darrow Town, Kel'Thuzad even took advantage of the kingdom's help-seeking fireworks and used the tactics of siege for help.
This time it was Colin City who was recruited, and the reinforcements they sent were eaten.
Immediately afterwards, the Cursed Cultists pretended to be reinforcements, deceived the gate of Colin City, and used beheading tactics to attack and kill commander-level figures, especially those from the Nitero family. Many people died tragically, creating the Colin tragedy.
In the end, someone woke up and asked for help from the Knights of the Silver Hand in the Hand of Tyr. The knights took out the stationed knights and reserve knights, and rushed to Colin. Only then did the situation control the further deterioration.
The fighting in the city did not stop completely until noon the next day.
It has to be said that this series of events is very different from the original historical line. In order to open up the situation, the Scourge just used the plague as a cover, at least at the beginning. Their real hard methods are all kinds of assassinations that have been prepared for a long time, as well as conspiracy and tricks assisted by high-end technology.
Don't look at the ugly and wretched appearance of the Scourge Legion, but the technology contained in those creations is definitely not low. The vast land of Northrend is the foundation of the Scourge, and the various tribes conquered by it are the industrial population. It can be said that even if there is no plague, the Scourge of the Lich King can still conquer the Kingdom of Lundane. Hitting all over the floor looking for teeth.
Moreover, Ner'zhul, who experienced the first and second human-beast wars, has a considerable understanding of the human race. Concentrating on development, careful planning, and making full use of human nature and various internal problems of human society, this attack, a set of combined punches, seems to hit the nail on the head every time.
Another character worth mentioning in this series of invasions is the nathrezim demon, or dreadlord.
The Lich King's fake legions are deadly, and even the Dreadlords have taken advantage of them. The Dread Demon King is good at deceiving people's hearts. There are such a large number of Curse Cultists in Lordaeron, and they should be the first to contribute.
Seriously in Kane, the dreaded demon king is an evil existence that fits the concept of a devil in the DND world.
They are orderly, class-clear, cruel, insidious, and good at playing with people's hearts.
These demons are good at digging out and exploiting the dark side of human nature. Greed, enjoyment, jealousy, lust, laziness... They simply use the seven deadly sins as their sharp weapons.
Under their leadership, all kinds of depravity quickly grew in Keir Dallon provided by Barov's family, and several other dens, and then surpassed the bottom line of secular ethics and morals, and then people have become demons, and they will also become demons without guidance. Continue to blacken.
As Kane expected, and feared, the demons' tricks paid off.
Those who are impoverished use their anger, resentment, unwillingness, pain, and longing.
The well-fed play with philosophy and the occult, exploiting their spiritual emptiness and instinctive desire to try to get more satisfaction. There are also those wandering thoughts, those longings for self-realization, those examinations and criticisms of human nature and self, thoughts on the meaning of existence, and so on.
As the saying goes, attacking the mind is the most important thing. This kind of feminine and secretive trick is secretive and difficult to deal with, and the damage caused is often irreparable.
Those degenerates, even if they turn back to the shore, can easily germinate, not only because of their own problems, but also from the harsh criticism from society.
Even in the modern society of the original world, those people with a black background have encountered obstacles everywhere in the society. It is much more difficult for ordinary people to walk the right path, let alone this world and this era.
On the contrary, food spreads the plague. In fact, there are many shortcomings. When the people are rich, they will not eat moldy food.
However, it is impossible for natural disasters and plague toxins to be mixed in food without any peculiar smell. The reason is simple. Negative and positive are diametrically opposite forces. Humans are creatures of the sun, while undead are the opposite, so the energy that causes this opposite change will inevitably be rejected by the creatures of the sun.
And the rice should be cooked and eaten. Everyone knows that heat treatment is a standard disinfection process.
So in the supernatural world, is there any artificial evil energy toxin like potassium cyanide, which is beyond human sensory judgment ability and extremely toxic, or the toxin transformed by undead?
Yes, but such products are difficult to manufacture, and the output cannot be increased, and the supernatural world focuses on the improvement of individual strength, and it is destined to be difficult to achieve large-scale industry and large-scale production like the natural world.
So when Kane learned about the Lich King's new gameplay, he wasn't surprised at all, and thought it was normal.
He has been observing the progress of the situation through his eyes and ears.
The performance of the shadows is remarkable.
The establishment of this organization was much earlier than the Holy Palace. The original members are flesh and blood golems transformed from orc corpses. Today there are more than 1,500 of them.
He also has a heavy infantry in his hand, which was transformed from ogre, slowly accumulating, and now the total number is approaching.
This force is hidden by half-sealed snow, and driving them consumes too much energy. Unless it is a large-scale battle, they will not easily enter the stage to fight.
What is really in the foreground is a force that many people dubbed the "Pro-Guard".
This combat force is known as the Clover Guild to the outside world.
This organization looks like a mob formed by Prince Galin on a whim, with people of all races, ages and looks.
In fact, its official members have passed a series of loyalty tests and ability tests.
The main source of soldiers for this organization is prisoners.
Those who are picked out will be sold to Kalimdor through the channel of the Steamwheedle Group, and will help the tribe build a new home under the whip of the slave owner.
The Clover Guild adopts the half-army half-company management model of armed contractors, and is based in Steinbrad Castle. The number of people is 377, and the guild was officially established less than a year ago.
This is a special battle group with a certain experimental nature. Kane is committed to building it into an organization similar to the Seventh Legion, a grand slam of all races and all professional hero templates.
Of course, heroes also have levels. Brothers like Thrall, Velen, and Stormrage are world-class, while someone like him who is destined not to become Destiny's Child is legendary.
A member of Clover, he hopes to build an elite team. That is to say, the master level above level 15 in the DND system.
Under the application of a series of forbidden experiments, there are various wonderful units in the guild, paladins, warriors, and shamans of the Quel'Thalas elves.
Paladins and warriors, the elves in the original history line, after experiencing the fall of the prince, learned from the painful experience and possessed these two combat positions.
At that time, they called themselves sin'dorei, that is, blood elves, and kidnapped a naaru, and the blood knight born by absorbing its energy used the power of the holy light.
Soldiers are forced by the war and have to prepare for self-improvement. The long-awaited began to come out.
The shaman has never been, and the elves don't believe in animism. Their physique is also arcane affinity, not element affinity.
But Kane is doing experiments, including brainwashing experiments.
Faith is ignited, and the creation of in-depth combat jobs (advanced job transfers) are the main features of the Clover Guild.
Orc paladin, tauren stalker, night elf shaman, giant magician, goblin druid... Ethan proves with all kinds of combat roles that subvert the imagination, as long as you play with cognition, there is no absolute threshold for combat roles . As for talent, it can be adjusted completely.
The members of the guild are basically living people with their own consciousness, but they have been successfully brainwashed like the hydra soldiers of the Marvel universe, and they can be said to be artificial fanatics.
There are many more being trained, such as Broken Fin Murlocs, Frostmane Trolls, and Witherbark Trolls.
Kane didn't stand out this time, but he didn't stand on the sidelines either. Although he knew about the natural disaster's invasion, he didn't know the exact time.
But now, he believes that the Kingdom of Lordaeron has the ability to win the early battles.
To put it bluntly, this is to defend the homeland after all. The local army and the people cannot actively participate in it, but a guest army to help ward off disasters, which is a bit outrageous.
Moreover, Kane also believes that it is necessary to fully expose the shortcomings of the Kingdom of Lordaeron through this contest.
It's time to wake up, while there is still a chance.
Under such circumstances, Darrow County was captured, and the army of the Kingdom of Lordaeron suffered heavy losses in Kaer Darrow, and he didn't feel much guilt.
He knew that Stratholme would explode next, which would cause the greatest casualties in the series.
