Chapter 252 Transfer to Alterac
Southshore has been trying to win over the people of Hillsbrad. The councilors of Hillsbrad, however, are pinning their hopes on the Kirin Tor, which has indeed indirectly provided them with protection.
Now, Dalaran is nothing but a giant crater ruin, with the flames of war right before our eyes.
The militia had no choice but to take up arms to defend their homeland. The undead minions of Lorraine had unwittingly spread to the edge of Hillsbrad, bringing with them deadly panic.
Survivors from Ambermill and Pyrewood Village escaped ahead of time, and someone brought news of Silverpine Forest.
The tragic death of a loved one and the destruction of all possessions are not something everyone can accept.
Even if they escape, they might end up as penniless vagrants.
Some of the people here are refugees who escaped from Silverpine Forest...
Refugees are not so easily accepted elsewhere, so not everyone has the courage to leave their homes and families unless they have no other choice. Ambermill and Hillsbrad were once closely connected, and the mages' food supplies mostly came from Hillsbrad.
Most of the supplies for Southshore are also provided by Hillsbrad.
The Forsaken stationed in Tarren Mill have lost patience with the human town of Hillsbrad, which blocks the road to Silverpine Forest. Relying on bats for transport is not a long-term solution.
It is foreseeable that, given the chance, the Forsaken of Undercity will inevitably seize Hillsbrad Farm.
......
This is not the first time a war has taken place in Hillsbrad Foothills.
Southshore stands like a nail driven into the main road, echoing the dwarven fortress of Dan'alok at the corner of the Wall of Thoradin. Further on lies Stromgarde...
This means that the Alliance forces have been spread along the coast, fighting alongside the navy and dwarves.
With the Kul Tiran fleet as backup at sea, humanity enjoys relative naval supremacy over most of the Eastern Kingdoms...
The tribe's bases could only be fortified along mountain ridges, relying on wyverns and bat units for communication... Most of their strongholds were established near mountain caves, a fact that Lorraine and his apprentice had already discovered through the map...
Once the Horde loses air superiority, its overall situation will be extremely unfavorable. Therefore, the Wolf Island supply depot is indeed of paramount importance. Goblin zeppelins are the Horde's primary means of transportation.
Lorraine comforted herself.
The reason they don't allow people to go to the island is for security reasons, not because they distrust them or want to harm their own people... The Forsaken's primary doctrine is: "Trust no one! Our enemies are everywhere..."
This statement may not only be used to address external issues...
......
The current situation is clear; what will Lorraine choose?
He had no choice; he could only watch helplessly as his Darkfin Murlocs were shot down one by one by the Alliance's elite... After all the commotion, the Murlocs simply followed the Tidebringer's commands...
The effect was that humans couldn't set up their arquebuses on the lakeshore or transport them to a hypothetical island...
Lorraine's goal has been achieved.
Lorraine silently absorbed the vengeful spirits of the gruesomely killed fish-men.
Whether in life or death, the murlocs of Lake Lordaeron Mill are used to their maximum efficiency. For the sake of a tribe unrelated to them... the reason being that Lorraine obtained the sacred relic, the Tide Amulet. Just as the Naga prince once controlled and enslaved the murlocs, Lorraine used the Tide Amulet to manipulate them into attacking Alliance boats on the lake.
Larger ships were then damaged or pierced using sharp spears...
Even if captured, the fishmen will destroy human ships and ammunition as much as possible...
After the guy who had initially begged Lorraine to surrender fell to the ground and was gleefully caught and dragged away by the humans, the lakeside fell silent.
After a long period of quiet by the lake, Lorraine took a deep breath and left the edge of Wolf Island.
.......
The Plaguebringer once again halted the enemy's advance; as a member of the tribe, he did it...
Lorraine dared not think about the merman's sacrifice...
They may have been offered as sacrifices to Death in Lorraine.
He didn't even know the names of these poor souls, let alone know how to commemorate or express gratitude. He could only use them as tools. Perhaps their lingering vengeful spirits could achieve greater value, such as possessing new bodies and becoming the immortal subordinates of the Necromancer...
Next time I can get my revenge...
A continuous, pointless...revenge!
......
"So, can you sense their location?"
“It’s a bit strange. Primval and Audu stopped at the bottom of the lake a little further away. They still have very strong spiritual power... But Davelin, Arugal, and Joseph are also a bit strange. They are moving at high speed, one heading north and the other two heading northeast... The distance between them is getting farther and farther, and I can hardly sense them anymore.”
After completing his mission of blocking the lakeshore, Lorraine became concerned about the fate of his true subordinates.
In the battle by the lake, three men died. Thule watched helplessly as he turned into solid ice and was dragged away by humans... which meant he lost four of his men.
There are also 7 Death Knights guarding him.
Deathsworn and Yuvel, of course, stood guard by his side. Of the remaining escapees, two followed Lorraine's instructions and hid at the bottom of the lake. The other three spellcaster death knights seemed to have ridden away on horseback.
They ran so fast that Lorraine could barely sense them anymore.
Later, the speed even increased and the distance increased, it didn't seem like it was actively trying to escape, but rather like it was being grabbed by something.
Lorraine's order was to run to the other side of the lake before entering the water, in order to distract the enemy and reduce the strength of the pursuing troops.
This makes it easier to escape and reduces the pressure on the main party...
But now things are not right!
"I can't sense anything anymore. I don't know if it's because I've become weaker or because I'm injured."
The teacher used to be Lorraine's primary map detector, and the magic he possessed was the source of Lorraine's magic. The specific reason is unknown, but the teacher did indeed help his apprentice sense numerous threats.
It can also analyze the enemy's strength.
This time, however, the teacher couldn't sense anything either...
After all, as a summoner, Lorraine couldn't sense the master of her summoned creatures. His teacher possessed all-around undead perception, life perception, and beast perception... but currently, it seemed he only had the most basic magical perception and life perception abilities.
I've heard that warlocks are born with the ability to sense demons and detect invisible units, and Lorraine wants to learn that kind of magic.
Although I've heard it belongs to the demonic arts...
Things you can't understand, you can't figure out on your own. After all that commotion, they escaped unharmed, much to the delight of humanity, while Lorraine was soaked to the bone. But the plan and the mission still needed to be carried out...
Back to Undercity!
Swim back?
That's a good choice. The outer walls of Undercity are right by the lake; it's a shortcut. My teacher used to say he often swam from there to the edge of Undercity when he was mining and gathering herbs.
Lorraine is also prepared to do the same.
But it seems a bit embarrassing to just slink back like that...
deserter?
A defeated general?
Plague messenger...
Swimming back through a tunnel is indeed not suitable for my current status... nor is it necessary to go through the sewers to return to the city!
“If we hadn’t swum forward, up the Alterac Mountains to the north… there’s a gap there too. It’s impossible for humans to have blocked off the entire outer edge of the lake. This lake is huge, with one ring after another, it’s actually a series of interconnected lakes… I remember there’s another smaller lake above the hillside, which leads directly to Yorkshire. Let’s go check that out!”
A teacher's experience is usually very useful.
Lorraine hardly hesitated before following his teacher's advice... He too wanted to leave this lake that evoked so many emotions within him...
......
Shortly after Lorraine left, the human camp on the lakeshore had become quite large. A few hours later, a human fortress appeared near the Dalaran crater... occupying a large area of land, with numerous watchtowers, almost all facing the entrance to Silverpine Forest, constantly alert to any activity within the forest.
......
The edge of Silverpine Forest had settled down, but a few kilometers from the North Sea, mountains created a blind spot on one side... Looking at the map, this was in the northwest corner of Tirisfal Glades... right behind Deathstroke... on the border between Silverpine Forest and Tirisfal Glades...
There are still signs of human activity here... but the surrounding cliffs and mountains block the view... it's hard for the average person to notice that there is a large forest here.
"General, a ship is coming from the North River Valley...it looks like a messenger from the Scarlet Crusade."
"Beiliu River Valley?"
The so-called general, dressed in the crimson attire of a Crusader, was actually an undead creature. Not only was he undead, but the soldiers surrounding him, also clad in crimson Crusaders, were undead as well. They seemed to be the forgotten, resurrected from the dead, for they not only appeared indistinguishable from the living, but their eyes also gleamed...
Strictly speaking, this kind of person is a half-zombie, someone who has been infected with the plague but has not completely become a zombie.
This group of Crusader remnants guarding the watchtower numbered quite a bit, several hundred people.
But they had been forgotten for so long, alone in the secluded bay, when suddenly someone delivered a letter. Their former comrades, their Scarlet Crusaders, had found them hiding in the woods.
The Scarlet Crusaders, who see the undead as mortal enemies... comrades... this is hard to understand...
