Chapter 718: To be a savior again
As a time-traveler, the most painful thing is to know that a tragedy will happen, but you are powerless to stop it. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Alsace is a case in point. Ten years ago, this noble prince was still a good young man, a handsome model who believed in the Holy Light and was upright.
Who would have thought that one day, he would be so cheating on him?
jumped directly from a great paladin to a death knight, and turned around and stabbed his dad in a pair.
Before Arthas officially rebelled, Duke couldn't tell the world, "Yo! Alsace knows there's a backbone in the back of his head at a glance." O Terenus, you better kill your only son before it's too late, and have another heir for a younger queen. ”
Duke prepared a lot in order to prevent Arthas from jumping from a loyal minister to the anti-thief camp, but unfortunately because of a Karazhan accident that was blown up, Duke, who originally thought that he still had a lot of time, could not carry out the next stage of preparation.
Fortunately, the foreshadowing was still laid.
The most famous 'Molotov cocktail' incendiary bomb from World War II on Earth was placed in advance, legally, and magnificently in the main business districts of Lordaeron.
If he could, Duke would have arranged for 100,000 paladins to wait in Lordaeron for Arthas to rebel.
Unfortunately, there were no 100,000 paladins in the world, and Duke could not have put his weapons in battle into Lordaeron beforehand. There was a weapon shop on the street that sold swords to gladiators, but which weapon shop was not behind Lordaeron's high nobles?
Duke's Chamber of Commerce was able to sell wine and all kinds of luxury goods in Lordaeron, which was already the result of Terenus not tearing his face.
Who would have thought that bottles of spirits that are placed on the wine shelves every day and watched by countless guests coming and going can be used as a weapon of destruction against the Scourges as long as they are lit and thrown out with strips of cloth?
The Lordaerons were dumbfounded.
In the end, some of the brave city guards simply abandoned their swords, took their shields and incendiary grenades, and ran to the zombies.
This bought precious time for the citizens to escape.
In the south of the city, a magical scene happened again.
More than a dozen huge cylindrical towers were blown up by dwarven explosives that had been secretly planted in advance. These were not tall brick towers, and although crude, these were obviously huge pipes made of pig iron, and with their weight they directly crushed the walls south of the city.
To the south of Lordaeron Lake, near Lake Lordamere, its walls are the weakest, as it is bordered by a military port and commercial dock to the south of the city. It was protected by coastal turrets, so the southern part of the city was the weakest.
As soon as a dozen large pipes that could allow two people to pass upright in parallel fell, the escape route came out directly. Citizens can escape directly out of the city along the passage.
At this time, under the command of Macaro, the grand butler of the Marcus Chamber of Commerce, the soldiers called the caravan escort and were actually elite warriors also rushed back, opening an escape route for the citizens of Lordaeron City.
Makaro shouted: "Push all the goods into the lake! The boxes that can float on the water are tied to the back of the boat with ropes and held by the citizens!"
Lake Lordamere is a super lake with very well developed water traffic and an important geographical location. To the north is the city of Lordaeron, to the west is the rebuilding Silver Pine Forest, to the south is the magical city of Dalaran, and to the southeast is the fertile Hillsbrad Hills through the side of Dalaran.
Since the beginning of the Dark Gate 2, after thirteen years of uninterrupted development, the scale of the Lordaeron Wharf is also quite large, the goods from all over the north of Lordaeron gather here, transported to the south by waterway, and then transported to the southern continent by Nanhai Town, its cargo throughput is as high as 10,000 tons a day.
This is not the modern wharf before Duke crossed, 10,000 tons, which is a very staggering number in this era.
The mooring of numerous ships gave the last hope for the escape of the citizens of Lordaeron.
Under the command of Macaro, Duke's grand butler, the ships left almost as soon as they were full, never stopping.
Later, even a boat sailed away, and a string of tails was tied to the back of the boat, what kind of floating wood, boxes, anyway, if you can drag people away, you can just drive the boat.
Unfortunately, as Arthas finally reacted, the retreat of the citizens began to become more and more difficult.
First of all, huge spider-type monsters began to appear in the south of the city, and these are cave-dwelling demons, which are mutated creatures with dual genes of humans and spiders. These cruel demons were once the minor lords of Eldraine Nirub, the ancient spider kingdom of Northrend.
As they begin to spew spiders at the Molotov-throwing warriors, the defenses that keep the citizens from escaping begin to crumble.
A black spider the size of a fist, falling from the sky, is simply unguardable against this long-range attack in the night. As long as it gets touched by this little monster, there are N ways for spiders to kill a human warrior.
The sharp mouthparts can easily bite through the thin iron armor, and the poisonous burrs will blister on the spot once they hit the human skin, and the poison in the burrs and mouthparts will invade the human nervous system and paralyze a strong human soldier in the shortest possible time.
Without the obstruction of the human flame grenadiers, the once-stagnant undead army was once again surging like a frenzy.
Originally, Makaro wanted to support it for a while, but after seeing the lich starting to appear on the shore, Makaro sighed: "We did our best, let's withdraw!"
Listening helplessly to the desperate cries and wails of the citizens on the shore, the merchant fleet began to slowly leave the docks.
If you don't have a choice, if you don't go, then everyone can't go.
The sailors and survivors of the ship did not even dare to look back at the dock, which had suddenly been turned into a slaughterhouse, where a human tragedy was unfolding......
Hearing that more than 50,000 people had successfully escaped from Lordaeron, Arthas was very upset: "Order, let the gargoyle troops attack and hunt down these remnants." ”
Obviously, this is another tragedy.
Back in time, the place outside of Lordaeron City has long been in chaos.
Because Arthas brought back a large number of lichs, and because of the Cursed cultists who were lurking among the high nobles in Lordaeron's country, it seemed to outsiders that Lordaeron had only lost contact for three days.
In the player's opinion, the original Lordaeron army in various places could have been completely avoided from being wiped out.
In fact, players who see things from God's perspective can't appreciate the hardships of Lordaeron's soldiers. It was an era of strict hierarchies and the supremacy of royal power. Without a military order, it is a capital offense to mobilize troops without authorization.
This is also an era of poor communication, after more than ten years of development, the cost of magic communication is still quite high, after all, it is more reliable to have at least one sky mage on duty. In addition, there are elemental fluctuations in the atmosphere, so unless it is an emergency, or the level of the magic messenger is quite high, all military orders are not allowed to use magic messengers.
Duke could fully imagine the hardships of Lordaeron's army, and he patted Illusia on the shoulder beside him: "Let's go, it seems that I am going to be a savior again." (To be continued.) )
