Chapter 113 The Battle of Ambermill (3)
Having a knife to your neck is not a pleasant experience; Lorraine has a history of experiencing such pain several times.
Fortunately, he was a spirit, and his pain receptors had almost completely disappeared, so he was not as afraid of death as he was when he was human.
After all, he's someone who's died several times...
The power of near-death and resurrection brings the Plaguebringer both pain and pleasure.
But it's not good to be constantly coerced by your own people.
Passwords are indeed a convenient way to distinguish friend from foe. The Forgotten Ones are a complex group with many factions!
Who knows which one is the spy or a mole...?
May you live to be a hundred years old?
Lorraine, in his attempt at sex, pulled out the secret code given to him by the Scarlet Spy 'Cutsword'... He knew nothing else! The teacher always spouted strange lines, something like the high elves often chanting, "Masara Nori, Mala Daxi!"
There's also an Orcish phrase: "Oktor, for Jeho..."
These aren't undead languages! They couldn't possibly be the password for the Forsaken...
To everyone's surprise, the six undead sentinels on guard duty simultaneously exclaimed, "Never forget revenge!"
Having confirmed that they were friends and not enemies, five of them once again disappeared into the shadows.
The remaining person looked Lorraine up and down. "Password correct, identity confirmed? Which unit do you belong to?"
Surprisingly, the password was correct...
I remember the Undead Sentinel's 'Chrysanthemum Tea' saying that the password should be constantly changing, and each spy's identification password should be different...
If the password matches, it means that the people here might be acquaintances!
"I am Lorraine, a Tier 2 Gravekeeper Infantry, and a Novice Necromancer. This is my insignia..."
The undead sentinel responsible for verifying identities was surprised as he examined Lorraine's collection of identity badges...
From the Mage Apprentice's Badge, the Undead Research Society Member's Badge, the Death Whisperer's Guild Badge, the Plaguebringer's Token, the Gravekeeper's Blog...
"So it's you, Lord Plague Messenger! We received news that you disappeared on the front lines. Thankfully, you're unharmed. Lord Carlos has already notified all outposts to report immediately if you are spotted. Come with me, I'll take you to see the Legion Commander..."
The Forsaken Sentinels were overjoyed, their recent setbacks gone.
They pulled Lorraine deeper into the mine...
The entrance to the mine was shrouded in darkness for a long stretch; unless one ventured deep inside, they would never suspect that a contingent of Forsaken soldiers lay hidden there...
They were actually forced to retreat into the mine.
The lakeside is unsafe; there are human patrols everywhere, both above and below ground...
The Forsaken forces were inexplicably surrounded by enemies on all sides, and even their rear, which was originally close to Undercity, had been found to contain human presence.
Judging from their equipment, they were actually a Scarlet Crusade team.
The actions of this group perfectly matched the information Lorraine had received earlier from Scarlet Monastery. However, the frontline commanders, warned by Undercity, overlooked this group of human avengers left behind in Lordaeron...
In short, of the two elite sub-units of the [Hand of Vengeance], one was almost completely wiped out, and the remaining remnants joined up with the [Gravekeepers]'s original garrison squads at various points, and were forced to hide in the mine.
To prevent human griffin reconnaissance and dwarven steam helicopter searches...
.......
The main battlefields were the port near the lake in Dalaran and around the Isle of Fenice, where the main fighting force of Undercity consisted of the remaining elite of the Hand of Vengeance and the assassin force of the Hand of Death.
Even the Queen's Royal Guard and the Terror Guard were stationed by the lake.
The war reached a stalemate, many forgotten souls were forever forgotten, while human losses were minimal...
A single online raid by the Forsaken resulted in the deaths of nearly a thousand elite Forsaken. Many of them were battle-hardened veterans, loyal subordinates of the Queen both in life and in death.
Because they were purely infantry, they suffered heavy losses under the combined air and ground artillery barrage from the Alliance...
During the retreat, they were pursued and killed by the Scarlet Crusade...
The Scarlet Crusade had also amassed several thousand men, divided into several groups led by cardinals and paladins, to finish off and purify the remaining undead forces...
At this critical moment, the situation became so dire that Thurbercher lost contact with Undercity...
The forward command post was unexpectedly attacked by unknown artillery fire from the sea, while the Forsaken's naval fleet, Dark Tide, was helping Silvermoon City reclaim its territory near Quel'Danas Island.
Her Majesty realized for the first time that she seemed to have been tricked...
The current situation is proving difficult for the Forsaken to handle alone. What was originally intended as a punitive action against the remnants of humanity in Silverforest has become an opportunity for the human alliance to counterattack...
This battle to establish authority has inexplicably turned into a battle to defend the Silver Forest!
It might even escalate into a battle to defend Undercity.
The future of the Forsaken rests on a breakthrough in Ambermill. Lorraine never expected that upon meeting the legion commander at the front, the commander would tell him that the situation had deteriorated to this extent.
......
The only good news so far is that although the Battle of Lordaeron Lake has suffered a setback, the Alliance and the Scourge are attacking simultaneously, and the Scarlet Crusade is launching sneak attacks from behind.
Dalaran did not initiate a declaration of war...
After Lord Godfrey's cannon fodder on the Gilneas front was eliminated, the Greymane Wall fell into a deathly silence...
As long as support from the Kalimdor airship route arrives!
Three giant warships, custom-made by goblins for Undercity, were delivered from other strongholds in the Eastern Kingdoms, such as the recent Frostwolf Clan and the Blood Knights of Silvermoon City heading south.
The course of the battle can still be changed.
......
The prerequisite is that a breakthrough must be achieved in Ambermill!
Ambermill regained control of the Frostwolf Clan in the Alterac Mountains, repelled the siege of Dalaran, and divided Southshore...
To completely tilt the situation of the entire northern battlefield of the Eastern Kingdoms in the favor of the Forsaken, and to remove the thorn in the side of the Human Alliance.
Ensure the safety of the Forgotten Kingdom!
For the sake of the Frostwolf Clan's safety and the Shadow Council's influence, Orgrimmar has already notified Queen Sylvanas through the Horde War Emissary.
The Horde will quickly reinforce Undercity and expand their lines towards Arathi Highlands, aiming to threaten the Alliance heartland and prevent humanity from expanding its influence in Kalimdor...
Helping the elves squeeze the living space of orcs, tauren, and trolls...
Lorraine could never have imagined that his humble plague messengers would inadvertently ignite a major war between several factions. More importantly, his visits to Shadowfang Keep and Dalaran could very well be the spark that ignites the conflict between the Horde and the Alliance...
The crucial battle that will determine the future of the Forsaken is actually taking place in Ambermill, the very place they longed to go...
There's no escaping it; the hand of fate is determined to make Lorraine the great hero she's always dreamed of being. Only, not a human hero, but a hero of the Forsaken.
The tribe's hero, the hero of teacher Rolin...
......
"Teacher, it feels like we've stumbled into a fire pit..."
Lorraine muttered to herself...
"You started this fire, apprentice. Since you can't escape it, take the blame. Don't forget you're still a powerful necromancer. The vengeful spirits you hold in your eyes can come in handy!"
Lorraine nodded absentmindedly; this was very likely fate's arrangement...
......
"Lord Lorraine, Lady Elwin asked me to deliver a message to you. In order to ensure the success of your mission, she has sent you two helpers."
"helper?"
Lorraine was surprised...
"Ms. Elwin, oh! The president of the Undead Research Association! And two more helpers. My mission is to administer anti-magic potions. Who can help me?"
He couldn't help but wonder...
One thing he overlooked was that the legion commander of the Hand of Vengeance on the other side actually addressed him as Lord Lorraine.
The opposing commander is at least a warrior-level officer, capable of commanding the elite combat forces of Undercity. He is the commander of a legion, at least a level 10 officer, and his strength is at least at the general level or above.
Generals at the corps level are powerful and influential figures; only those who are absolutely loyal to the Queen can become commanders of the Hand of Vengeance.
In human society, a legion commander is at least a major, brigadier general, or even a lieutenant general or commander-in-chief, if not an earl.
In tribes, strength equals military merit and rank, unlike in humans where nobles often hold military positions. However, not just anyone can command an army or become a noble cavalry commander.
Aside from high-ranking nobles like Godfrey, only powerful knights and heroes could typically...
"Who will be the helper?"
