I, who traveled to Chunwu, entered Stalingrad again?

In this regard, he has mixed feelings and mixed feelings.

The good news is that with the strength of Sera and others, there is another force to fight against the Scourge Legion, and the probability of success of his plan has also increased a lot; what is worrying is that if the enemy is far stronger than he imagined, if When the time comes, when she knows the truth, what will she think of herself?

But Zaimozuo was not the kind of indecisive person after all, so he quickly made up his mind.

He looked around, lowered his voice and said:

"This is not the place to talk, let's talk upstairs."

So in a secluded box on the second floor, Zai Muzao told everyone about himself.

A strange plague has been prevalent in the north of the Kingdom of Lordaeron. In recent years, a mysterious curse religion has emerged in the north. At first, there was nothing wrong with it, but in recent years, the kingdom’s harvest has not been very good, and taxes have become As it got higher and higher, this sect spread among the middle and lower classes at a crazy speed. The kingdom's intelligence department naturally noticed the connection between the two, but they turned a blind eye to the threat of the orcs.

"But what does this have to do with orcs? And don't you humans all believe in that holy light? Could it be that they are more foolish than those missionaries?"

The old dwarf asked with a puzzled look on his face. Many of the priests of the Holy Light are sharp-mouthed guys. He has learned a lot in his long life, and there are also a small number of believers among the dwarves.

"The teachings of cults claiming that those who believe in them can obtain happiness and eternal life after death may sound no different from the teachings of the Holy Light, but the problem is that they really do."

Timothy said with a serious face.

"You mean..."

"Someone saw them resurrected in a sense, and got eternal life, no pain, no hunger. I don't know if such a being will be happy, but this evil spell has appeared before It was in the hands of the warlocks in the last orc war that the resurrected monsters caused huge casualties to the alliance. We have reason to believe that they did it this time. Our task is to find them out from behind the scenes, and then Get rid of it! Because we can’t mobilize enough troops for the time being, and we’re afraid that the actions of large troops will scare the snakes, so the top will only send a small number of elite guards. Of course, you are different, as mercenaries, you will not attract their attention.”

If he told all the truth or all lies, the few people in front of him would probably think that he was crazy, but if he told a part like this, concealed a part, and fabricated a part, it would have some credibility.

"If that were the case, we would have walked with you."

Sera discussed with several elf rangers for a while, and quickly gave a reply.Perhaps in their minds, the level of danger in this task is not high. Why not do it if they can earn some extra money while chasing down the deadly orc enemies?

Seeing the elves and dwarves with smiles on their faces start toasting each other, a sense of guilt welled up in Zaimuzao's heart, but that was the end of the matter, and there was no turning back.

Timuzuo and the gang of mercenaries stayed at the wine table for a long time, and while deepening their relationship, they agreed on the time and place for tomorrow's assembly. It was late at night when they returned to the barracks, and most of the officers and soldiers except the sentries fell asleep.

Although he drank a lot, he didn't feel sleepy at all. He simply lit a candle and stared at the map on the table that he had specially obtained from the intelligence department a month ago.

Under the flickering candlelight, one could vaguely see the words Stratholme written on the upper right corner of the map.

Alsace leaned against a big tree by the road to rest, he raised his head to glance at the dim sunlight at dusk, and then glanced at his subordinates.

The well-trained and well-equipped two heavy infantry squads hid in the shade of the trees, and the long wait made them look a little listless.

The four elf rangers climbed the same tree, sat on the branch, chatted with each other, and one of them let the wind pass by the intersection.

His deputy, Major Farrick, was sitting on a rock, applying oil to the long sword in his hand, with a worried look on his face.

This is normal, Alsace has hardly seen this resolute and reliable lieutenant smile in the past month, and the same is true of his father, King Terenas.

There are very few letters from the northern intelligence agencies, and they have completely lost contact in the past two weeks, but almost all reports are so shocking.

Aristocratic commotion, cult infiltration, the resurrection of the dead...

However, the traces of the sea orcs have not been found yet, and most of the kingdom's troops are confined to various ports and cannot move. The Knights of the Silver Hand led by Sir Uther, as the only mobile force in the hands of King Terenas, had to Stationed in the capital, one is to be ready to rush to help the frontiers to resist the orcs at any time, and the other is to frighten some Xiaoxiao in the country.

When the older generation had their own missions, the task of going to the north of the kingdom to investigate the cult fell on Alsace, who performed well in the previous battle. He had never felt such heavy pressure, but this was his duty-bound obligation.

What can I do if it is true that the nobles teamed up with the cults to attack?Can I?Can I?

Such questions surfaced in Alsace's mind over and over again.

Although the report submitted by Farric did not mention anything about his unauthorized suppression of bandits and delay of the military plane, Alsace could not lie to his heart. Annoyance, regret and guilt had already filled his heart. If he hadn't Ladies, set out immediately after repelling the robbers for the village, and the tragedy of Steinbrad would not have happened.

Arthas closed his eyes and remained expressionless. He didn't want the soldiers to see that he was as worried as they were. King Terenas always taught him that a leader's calm and confidence would affect his men, and he would Keep this in mind.

After another half an hour, the sentry elf ranger walked along the crossroads ahead for a certain distance, turned back, and then walked in the other direction for a while.

Finally, she couldn't hold back anymore, and ran all the way to Alsace, coughed, and asked with a little bit of anger:

"His Royal Highness Prince Alsace, we have been waiting here for several hours, are you sure your friend will come?"

This high elf ranger named Keira was a mercenary invited by Major Farric, and a group of dwarf mercenaries stayed in the capital temporarily with the large troops of the independent battalion because they needed to replenish ammunition and weapons.

Due to the fear of unknown enemies and lack of confidence in himself, Arthas supported the adjutant's plan very much. In the previous battles, he suffered a lot from lack of long-range firepower.

Unlike her younger sister Sera, Keira has a perfect figure. In the late autumn, which is almost winter, her breath turns into white smoke after another in the severe cold, and the pair of oversized His chest also expanded and shrank accordingly.

"I'm sure Jaina will always be a little bit late."

There was no falsehood in Al-Asa's answer. He recalled the good time when he often patiently waited for Jaina two years ago, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

He also knew that Jaina had one of the smartest minds in the world, and that mind would figure out a way to trick the enemies around, just like they fooled the guards.

She must come up with a good way.

At the insistence of her employer, Keira had no choice but to go back to her compatriots, climb up the branches two or three times, and then look at the possible figure from the top of the tree.

Suddenly, a thunderclap shocked everyone, Alsace jumped up like a lion sleeping in the sun suddenly woke up, Zaimuza led the soldiers quickly drew out his weapons, tied the knot The formation surrounded Alsace in the center.

Although the elf rangers were also quite frightened, and Keira almost fell from the treetops, she quickly regained her balance and climbed up to the top of the tree to look into the distance.

"There is movement a mile to the southwest! That's where the sound comes from!"

According to the intelligence of the rangers, Alsace led the team to set off there, and soon they saw a slender, slightly embarrassed female figure at the distance of the road, about 300 meters away, and she also spotted Alsace Si, was waving at him from a distance.

And at this time, two tall monsters suddenly sprang out from the woods over there. They had fangs, pointed horns, and big belly. They were holding a homemade mallet, and they were looking at the lady greedily.

"By the Light, it's an ogre! That girl is in danger."

The soldiers recognized the type of monster. This kind of ferocious and tyrannical beast dominates the mountains everywhere in the territory of Lordaeron, attacking lonely pedestrians and business travelers. It usually takes three human warriors to fight together to kill such a man-eating beast. magic.

Apparently, it was the sound of thunder that attracted them from the forest.

The ranger began to shoot his bow and arrow, but it was hard to say how accurate he was at such a long distance.

"Stop! She can handle it herself!"

Alsace wanted to rescue the girl, but at this moment he saw her face clearly, and she was smiling.

This lady does have this ability, and her action efficiency is very high. Just as Alsace stopped the elves, she turned around. After a few quick incantations, a water elemental was summoned, stopping two ogre.

This is a mass of three-meter-high dark blue clear water that circulates continuously, with simple heads and two arms.

Even ogres with simple minds knew that this woman was not easy to mess with after seeing the water elemental as tall as themselves, but their greed for food finally defeated their fear. They took the mallets and smashed the water elemental in front of them, and then Fight together.

But then a fiery orange flame emerged from Jaina's palm and threw it at one of the ogres. The howls grew louder as the elemental attacks fell upon him.

When another ball of fire hit the ogre, it wailed and fell to the ground. The scorching smell could even reach Alsace.

The other one finally had some brains, left its dying companion, turned around and ran away.

Jaina looked at the fleeing ogre, dusted her fingertips, and flew three fireballs at the enemy without breaking a sweat.

"Gentlemen and ladies, this is Miss Jaina Proudmoore."

Alsace walked up to his girlfriend, and introduced in a serious tone:

"Special emissary of the Kirin Tor, one of Dalaran's most gifted mages...you look as beautiful as ever, and it's good to see you, Jaina."

Warcraft - Scourge of the Undead: Chapter 150 Chapter 140 Chapter [-] Seeing the Undead for the First Time

"I am also very happy to meet you. It has been a long time since a prince escorted me anywhere."

Jaina turned, her eyes twinkling as she responded to Arthas.

The soldiers and rangers looked at the female mage curiously. The news that the royal families of Lordaeron and Kurjiras were planning to marry had spread a long time ago. Little is known about her in Dalaran.

Zai Muzao is also looking at this controversial legendary figure, his eyes are somewhat strange, like Arthas who is known as "the first filial son of Lordaeron", Jaina also has the "first filial daughter of Kul Tiras" It is said that the two are indeed a match made in heaven and a perfect match to some extent.

In the future choice between her father Daelin Proudmoore and the orcs, Jaina chose to stand by because of her own ideals and beliefs. As a result, Admiral Daelin, who was fighting alone, was killed by the swarming orcs.

If that's all it is, it turns out that the so-called peaceful coexistence is just wishful thinking. Jaina's career in the New World was also destroyed in a conflict. Night.

"Yes...that's true."

Arthas seemed to want to give Jaina a hug, but he felt embarrassed under the eyes of everyone. He stretched out half of his hand and then retracted it. An awkward atmosphere permeated between the two.

"There are so many brave and skilled soldiers, I don't think there is any need for this guy. Your Highness Arthas, why don't you introduce your companions to me? Who are these friends from Quel'Thalas?"

A hint of disappointment flashed in Jaina's eyes, she waved away the element, and gave everyone the most beautiful smile as she spoke.

Only then did Alsace introduce Sera and the others to her as if waking up from a dream. After a while of pleasantries, the two began to get down to business, discussing the plague.

The Archmage Antonios of Dalaran insisted that it was caused by magic, possibly a curse, but he could only send his most powerful disciple to investigate the matter.

Because the senior mages are all masters who listen to the tune and don't listen to the announcement, as long as the plague doesn't spread to the gate of Dalaran, they don't bother to care.Rather than going to the northern mud to conduct investigations, it is better to do a few more experiments in the mage's tower.

Alsace also revealed the findings of Lordaeron's intelligence department, but only Zaimoza, who was silently listening, knew the truth.

At night, Alsace chose to camp on a high ground close to the main road. There was no moon in the ebony night sky, only the twinkling stars.

Jaina lit a bonfire with a spell, conjured some bread and water, and announced loudly: "This is all I have."

The soldiers also laughed, and took out dried meat and sausages as dry food. The elf rangers shared their specialties, several delicious dried fruits, and Alsace also ordered some to be taken from the carriage carrying supplies Wine to cheer.

After dinner, Arthas and Jaina got into the large tent prepared for them, and the others wisely stopped disturbing the long-lost couple.

Zai Muzao did not fall asleep immediately after arranging the guard post on duty, but sat by the campfire as usual and recalled the game plot he knew over and over again, so as not to miss anything. The sword is maintained.

"Why do you always keep a straight face? Someone owes you money and won't pay it back?"

"No, on the contrary, I owe a lot of money."

Zai Muzuo recognized that it was the voice of Sera the Elf, and replied faintly, these rangers still walked silently as before.

Sierra sat down opposite him, holding her cheek with one hand and watching the flames for a while, then asked boredly:

"Tell me about your previous battle with the orcs?"

"There's nothing to talk about. A group of orc remnants used humans as sacrifices to sacrifice to demons. We paid a third of the casualties and killed them. That's it."

"This is enough for the bards in the tavern to sing for three days and three nights! One-third of the casualties? It's really tragic. You shouldn't have fired me so early. I still have a blood debt with the orcs that has not been settled."

Sera snorted coldly, pulled out the longbow from behind, and stroked the bow gently.

Zaimuza sighed, put the sword into the scabbard, and walked towards his tent.

"Then you'd better be fully prepared. I have a hunch that the battles in the future will be more tragic than before. My hunch is never wrong."

........................

In the early morning of the next day, Alsace and others started to go east along the avenue to investigate the plague situation. They passed a village in the afternoon. Fortunately, the village was not infected with the plague. In the next two days, they encountered even more There were many farms and villages, and none of the rumors happened, which made Alsace breathe a sigh of relief.

Until noon on the fourth day, they began to encounter some scattered farms on the road.

"We are not far from Andorhal." Alsace said looking at the map, "but this farm is not marked on the map."

"Yes, Your Highness." Zai Muzao replied with a firm and forceful voice. "Different from the big villages and big farms we encountered before, these small farms are mostly independent free farmers. They are based on families. They stay wherever there is arable land. They only go back when they sell food and buy daily necessities. nearby villages and towns."

"That is to say, they are not closely connected with other people?" Jaina frowned. "If they are infected with the plague and fall ill in bed, it will be difficult to find others to help them."

"What Jaina said makes sense, let's go and see the situation."

After Alsace issued the order, the soldiers began to march towards the farm. When they approached the farm, they deliberately walked very slowly, so that the farmers had enough time to notice them and prepare to welcome them like the previous villages.

But this time no one came to meet them, not even a soul.

After walking a little closer, they found something strange. The gate of the farmhouse was broken, and there were no livestock in the cowshed and pigpen.

"Is there anyone? I'm Alsace! Your prince, my subordinates and I have absolutely no malice, please come out and talk to us, we have some questions to understand!"

Arthas shouted loudly, but he was answered by silence, and he could only hear the faint sound of the wind and the clattering and clashing of the shifting armor of restless soldiers.

"There is a smell of rotting corpses!"

Elven rangers were the first to report that they had a more sensitive sense of hearing and smell than humans.

Warcraft - Scourge of the Undead: Chapter 151 Chapter 140 Chapter [-] Surprise but no danger

Arthas glanced at his soldiers, none of whom were clearly willing to go into a house that might be full of plague patients or even their dead bodies.

In fact, he was not in the mood at all, but Jaina was right, the farmers here are the people of the kingdom of Lordaeron, he once swore to the Holy Light to protect them, no matter what he needs to do, no matter what it takes Such a price.

So Alsace took a deep breath, raised his legs and got off the horse, and Zaimuza and others also got off the horse one after another. Jaina was about to get off the horse but was stopped by Alsace.

"Jianna, you stay here. Farric, you take a team of soldiers and follow me to see the situation."
