Chapter Seventy-Two: The Smoke Begins
And high in the sky they couldn't see, there was a fortress flying in the sky, and in this fortress there were constantly flying objects, that is, gargoyles flying out with plague barrels, and then throwing them towards the human gathering place below.
The plague gas of the plague barrel and the plague mixed in the food and drinking water are two different concepts, in the food and drinking water, because the concentration of the plague is limited, human beings still have a certain resistance, and at the beginning they will only show various symptoms of illness.
And the plague of the plague barrel is the concentrated plague gas, and this high-intensity poisonous fog has filled the human gathering place below. Just when people began to watch the people around them fall one by one, those fallen companions staggered to their feet again, but this time it was no longer their companions who stood up, but the undead with a red light in their eyes.
The transition between life and death is so swift that one moment they are still afraid or asleep, the next they are at the end of their lives.
Perhaps for the strong, because of the strength of the soul, they can still retain a relatively complete consciousness, but for ordinary people, being killed by the plague really means the end of life. Standing up again is nothing more than a walking corpse.
Only people with a talent for souls, that is to say, ordinary people who are suitable for being warlocks can save their consciousness and become ghosts, or ordinary banshees with attack power.
As the poison gas spread, the lord turned back and found that his wife had already become a walking corpse, and her eyes were scarlet and walked towards him......
On this night, the spirits of the dead danced under the moon......
It's not just this one place. The Sky Fortress is starry day and night, and overnight the eastern part of Daronmir becomes a paradise for the undead. Except, of course, some fortified cities, such as Zumashal, the Chapel of the Light's Wish, and the Hand of Tyr. The eastern regions all fell into the hands of the undead.
And in the central and western regions, and even in the eastern and western Tirisfal woodlands, there is even the figure of the Dreaded Demon King, that is, on the same night, there is constantly news that villages and towns have been broken or converted into undead.
The whole of Lordaeron, or rather, the Union Army, was in a state of scorching distress because there were so many places that needed to be rescued.
When Brad got the news, he was speechless in shock. He never expected that at this time, the Scourge Legion would already have Naxxramas, and at the same time, he would be sent out by the Dreadlord sent by Kil'Gardan to meet Naozu, and there would also be the Frost Dragon Legion.
"The hosts. Tonight, our territory was also attacked by the Dreadlord King, but it just so happened that Thunderhawk and the succubus patrolled over there, and with the rapid support of the air force, there was basically no damage. And those plagues can't spread within the jasper collar at all. I've taken a shadow to collect the remnants of the plague. Onexia was still dressed in black and stood behind Brad.
Brad rubbed his eyebrows before he said, "The shape has changed completely, and it is very different from what I predicted, it seems that our plan will also be adjusted, otherwise we may face failure." How did the coalition parties react? ”
Onexia sorted out his thoughts for a moment before saying: "First of all, Lordaeron, there are too many plagues in the territory of the kingdom of Lordaeron, and the entire kingdom has been shaken, and at present, Lordaeron has sent a large number of troops to disperse and start fighting against the undead who appear in various places. On the one hand, the lords of the various territories of Daloon Mill brought troops to the rescue of other regions. On the one hand, it is a complete start to empty out small villages and towns and move to major cities. There has been no movement on the High Elves' side, and our Red Dragon and Black Dragon Legions have already begun to fly towards Daron Mill. The Blue Dragon Legion is stationed in Stratholme. ”
The Jade Lord's Dragon Legion is the most numerous in Red Dragon. Because the hatching of those dragon eggs, coupled with the growth of the nest, has begun to take shape. The Black Dragon Legion is divided into two parts, one part is to follow Onexia, the other part is to follow the Black Dragon Dragon, and the other is to subdue the Black Dragon and Dragon Egg belonging to Deathwing, which are second only to the Red Dragon Legion in total.
The Blue Dragon Legion is the dragon egg sent by the Blue Dragon King, and it is also the weakest dragon legion, the Blue Dragon King comes to Jasper once or twice a year, and it is called to pick up his own disciples, but in fact, it mainly depends on the situation of the Blue Dragon Legion.
When he saw the strength of these blue dragons hatching from eggs to adult dragons in just a few years and there were no sequelae, he couldn't wait to take these blue dragons back to the territory of the blue dragons, but because of the pride of the blue dragon king, he could only abide by the contract and endure for four hundred years, he could only comfort himself, for himself, four hundred years were just fleeting.
Brad nodded and asked, "What is the movement of their main force of the air force?" ”
"The air force, whether it is Lordaeron or the various territories, they have left the elite and main forces in the territory, and only brought a small number of air forces to support." Speaking of this, a hint of disdain flashed in Onexia's eyes: "It seems that he was frightened by the movements of the undead, which is really useless." ”
Brad waved his hand and said, "I can't say that, both the gargoyle and the frost dragon are very powerful and powerful, and most of the soldiers and civilians have moved to the main cities, and they are not wrong to say that the main force of the air force stays in the territory." Don't talk about this question, the situation of Governor Morgana and Commander Mor has been recounted, and the movements are clear, what do you think we should do? ”
Morgana and Moore glanced at each other, and Moore first said, "I just came back, and I really don't know the situation here, anyway, I listen to the lord." ”
Morgana glared at him and said helplessly: "Lord Lord, you have already made a decision, so why bother asking us, you can order blindly." ”
"Well, since there is no dissenting opinion, then I will fight the undead according to my idea. Although we are not part of the Alliance, and we have a grudge against Lordaeron, hatred will always be on the back burner at times like these. After all, you and I are both human beings, and we can't just watch the tragedy continue, I've already misestimated once, and I can't make a mistake this time. Brad said firmly.
Moore nodded and said: "I've been idle for ten years, and if I don't move anymore, I'll be an old bone, and I can lead troops to battle at any time." ”
"I never doubted that." Brad nodded and said, "Governor Morgana, you have always been in charge of the specific affairs of the territory, so you can analyze the situation of the territory and see how many troops we can take away, and the remaining army can still ensure the absolute safety of the territory?" ”
Morgana seemed to have known that Brad would ask this question, and immediately replied, "Because we have prepared in a timely and sufficient manner, the lord of the territory does not need to worry. In my opinion, the security forces alone can protect the territory. After all, we've been far ahead of other places over the years, both defensive and offensive, and because of the statues, the undead throwing plague barrels in the sky is ineffective for us. Each defense system has been improved to the highest state, a few years of charging, and there is no need to worry about energy problems...... As for the civilians, Jasper Ling did not show any panic, but was awe-inspiring...... Farms and urban blank areas have basically been unsealed and can accept displaced people at any time...... There should be no problem with vegetables in a short period of time, and the vegetables we grow are all varieties that grow fast and can be stored after drying...... The druids have also returned from their dreams and travels, and have basically been arranged to various areas, responsible for checking whether the incoming homeless people have been infected with the plague......"
Morgana briefly talked about the recent preparations of the Jasper Territory, and finally said: "So I think that only a small number of troops need to be left to protect the safety of the territory, even in the face of a large-scale attack, with our defense strength, we can hold out until the return of the army, and some retired veterans are not without fighting power, after all, in other territories, with their age, they should be the main force of the army." ”
Brad sighed and said: "They have already paid too much for the territory, although they have rich experience in the battlefield, but after all, their strength can not be improved, continue to let them go to the battlefield...... Now it's up to them to enjoy the good life they've fought down, and it's up to the current army to protect the territory. ”
"My lord, there have been many retired veterans who have joined forces to ask for their lives, and I have rejected them several times, but this time there are more and more people, and it is really ......," Morgana said embarrassed.
The military service system of Jasper Collar is also very sound, military service is voluntary, only students or professionals who have graduated from the academy can join, and there are certain requirements for age, of course, according to the improvement of strength, you can also promote positions in the army.
However, there are still a large number of soldiers who do have limited qualifications and are discharged when they reach the upper limit of age and lack of strength. Only some people who are very good and have military merits but lack of strength will be arranged to be magistrates in various places.
And more are really retired, hesitating about the current situation of Jasper Ling, these retired soldiers are very popular. The people in the territory knew that they were the army of a hundred battles, and they were willing to hire them as caravan guards, or as security guards for a shop. Coupled with the subsidies and preferential treatment of Jasper Collar for retired soldiers, these people can be said to have a worry-free life.
However, when the war broke out, they were willing to put aside their comfortable lives and collectively asked to join the army again, and Brad was still very moved. It is precisely because of these fearless lords that the Jasper Collar has come to this point.
Brad sighed before saying, "Okay, allow them to join the vigilante for the time being." Open the arsenal, give them weapons, and have a small number of existing military pairs, security forces, and these retired veterans to protect the security of the territory during the expedition. ”
Morgana also nodded with emotion and said, "With your permission, I'm sure they will be very happy." ”
Brad smiled bitterly: "I'm sending them to death, alas." ”…… (To be continued......)
