Chapter 175: The Demon in Stratholme
"The commander-in-chief has decided to launch a full-scale attack on Stratholme early tomorrow morning to completely purify this cursed city, so you don't have to die." Jiang Zai took out some water and food and handed it to Orix: "Eat something, I have something to ask you." ”
No one wants to die, not even a paladin who has put life and death on the line.
Most importantly, his mission is not yet complete.
Hearing the news brought by Jiang Zheng, a smile finally appeared on Orrix's tired face.
He ate quickly, eating ten slices of bread and a large pot of water in two minutes, then he wiped his mouth and looked up at Jiang Zheng: "Lord Earl, what do you want to know?" ”
"Tell me, what you saw when you were in the Northland Guard Tower, what are the composition of Arthas's troops, have you seen a black flying fortress in the sky, have you seen a gargoyle like a bat, and a cave-dwelling demon that can burrow into the ground......" The smile on Jiang Zai's face gradually faded: "Tell me, everything you saw!" ”
"The troops of Arthas? It's the undead! Nothing special! Flying Fortress? Didn't see it! Gargoyles? Caveman demons? What is that? Didn't see it. Oryx didn't think about it, and immediately replied.
Jiang Zai's frowning brows relaxed.
Naxxramas didn't fly above Stratholme, so those gargoyles and cavemen shouldn't have entered Stratholme, and the current Stratholme is better to deal with than the 25-year-old Stratholm of the Dark Gate.
This way, it's much less difficult!
"You stay here and have a good rest. I still have important things to do, and I can't stay here to take care of you! Jiang Zai commanded, and then walked out the door.
"I don't need to take care of it, Lord Count!" Oryx yelled from behind: "I'm going to fight with you!" I'm a paladin! I can't hide like a coward in this unattacked chapel! ”
"You are indeed a paladin, but first and foremost, you are a soldier. A soldier's first vocation is to obey orders. As the high-ranking commander of the Holy Light Coalition and the deputy commander of the Ash Army, I order you: stay here! Jiang Zai stopped, did not look back, and said lightly.
"I, I...... I obey orders! But I ask to fight with you tomorrow! I must purify my father myself! I must let his soul rest in peace! Even though he has taken refuge in the Cult of the Damned, I also want him to be buried as a paladin in the Chapel of Light's Wish! This is my only request as the son of a Death Knight! Oryx shouted.
Silence, three seconds.
Then, in Oryx's expectant gaze, Jiang Zheng raised his steps lightly, but the figure gradually disappeared, leaving only a cold voice that echoed in Oryx's heart.
"I promise you."
…………
Stratholme is big, really big, that's Jiang Zao's first feeling.
The city is second only to Lordaeron in size, but in reality, Stratholme is no smaller than Lordaeron if you exclude Lordaeron's underground area and only count the surface area.
Jiang Zai sneaks around the city, because there are undead wandering everywhere, he has to be careful to avoid the vigilance of ghosts and ghosts, and sometimes he has to kill one or two undead, so the speed is very slow.
Da Sohan's order to him was to find out as much as possible about Stratholme, to see how many undead were entrenched, where there were the most undead, and where there were difficult characters.
Oryx can't count on it, he has to do it himself.
Walking along the Elder's Square, through the long streets, Jiang Zai saw twenty or thirty abominations in the Slaughter Square, one of which was exceptionally tall, it was Ramsden the Swallower, a very terrible elite abomination.
In the original history, the human ranger lord Nathanos was killed by it, resurrected as an undead, and became the most powerful warrior under the Banshee King Sylvanas, known as the "Blightcast".
It is the most powerful abomination in the entire Eastern Plague Lands, and the most proud work of the Cursed Sect!
The stitching monsters in Night Town in the Twilight Forest have been a headache for countless novices, but with Ramsden the Swallower, that monster is simply weak and ridiculous.
Jiang Zai didn't alarm it, just looked at the house behind it from a distance.
It was a slaughterhouse, and there were a lot of elite undead guarding outside, and many elite guarding inside.
If he guessed correctly, in that heavily guarded slaughterhouse was the city's current ruler: the Death Knight, Baron Rivendell.
Returning the same way, passing through the large arch opposite the Alonsos Chapel, Jiang Zai came to the festival path and saw a stone statue of a paladin in the center of a small square.
It is said that beneath the statue is a paladin cemetery, where the heroic spirits of paladins are laid to rest. The game features a famous Orange Staff reforge quest, where the tainted "Staff of Legend of the Guardians of Etties" was purified.
Of course, that's just gameplay, in fact, the legendary chicken leg cane is now in the hands of Madven's only student: "Destroying the Three Cultivators" Khadgar.
Stratholme, there are stories everywhere.
There were no undead next to the statue of the Paladin, and it was clear that the undead instinctively feared the light buried below.
Passing through King's Square and leaving the market area, Jiang Zai walked through countless undead, and finally came to an area where there were few undead, which was a castle, a city within a city.
This is the most important place in the whole of Stratholme, where the military supply depot is located.
Jiang Zheng didn't dare to keep approaching because he saw the traces of the demon!
Yes, demons.
From afar, Jiang Zheng saw one demon after another!
There's hellfire, there's imps, there's low-level succubi, and there's eye-demons!
There is no doubt that Tikdios has visited this place and summoned an army of demons here!
Jiang Zai didn't know how many demons were hidden in the deeper part of the alley, it shouldn't be too many, because it stands to reason that the large army will definitely follow the Alsace expedition against the Sunchaser Dynasty, and that is the most important thing.
But, who knows!
I don't know why, Jiang Zai has a bad premonition.
The existence of the eye demon made him have to leave, the energy reserve of the game warehouse is not much, and there is no way to scan the deepest part across several kilometers, and it is impossible to find out what is inside!
Reconnaissance was hard work, and Jiang Zai worked hard for most of the night, and finally returned to the Alonsos Chapel at three o'clock in the morning.
After resting for two hours, he quietly left Stratholme, and then outside the gates of the East Wall, he met the Holy Light Alliance.
After listening to Jiang Zheng's report, Da Suohan was silent for a moment, and then said, "My troops and the Brotherhood of Holy Light will attack from the main gate, and here will be handed over to the Ash Army, as well as the Ranger Army." If all goes well, we will meet at Alonsos Church. ”
