Chapter 287 Recapture the Watchtower
Chapter 287 Recapture the Watchtower
In the ensuing conversation, Master Voldir mentioned the Crown of Will, the ogres atop Mount Alteran, and the harassment from the Syndicate bandits.
The orcs' attitude towards the undead was clearly indifferent.
Undercity's unwavering support for the Frostwolf Clan stems primarily from their mutual reliance on each other and their shared common enemy...
In Hammerfall, there are still many wounded soldiers who cannot be evacuated.
Although both tribes in the Eastern Kingdom have established strongholds, the alliance is generally considered to have greater power...
Therefore, the forgotten must redouble their efforts to defend this scorched land...
When Voldir heard that Lorraine had originally planned to go to Durnholde Castle to rescue people, he advised him that a few unfortunate souls had been captured by Syndicate bandits in Durnholde. However, most of them were not important figures, and compared to the threat in Southshore and the urgent mission in Undercity...
To gain the Frostwolf Clan's approval, one must possess iron will and military merit... He didn't understand why the Plaguebringer was so eager to gain the orcs' approval.
The immortal and conscious state of the dead is the kind of eternal life that many people yearn for, isn't it?
Archmage Voldir chuckled self-deprecatingly, "If I were to conduct research and experiments day and night like this, I would have gone blind long ago when I was human. My body couldn't take it either. Now, however, I don't need sleep; I work tirelessly, all for the sake of developing a true plague potion and an antidote..."
What sets Voldir apart from the other members of the Royal Apothecary Society is his chemist's obsession: he believes that if something is poison, there must be an antidote. These discoveries are tools; they must be controlled, not lost, lest they turn into endless plagues and scourges, no different from the mindless, evil minions of the Lich King of the North...
The Plaguebringers of Undercity are different from the Scourge scientists of Naxxramas.
Voldir hopes to unravel the mysteries of the undead. He is also a senior member of the Undead Research Association and has a good relationship with Ms. Elwin...
Of course, as a high mage, Voldir admired Lady Elwin's magical skills even more, estimating that she was at least a Grand Magister... As Lady Elwin's nominal disciple, Voldir had a good impression of Lorraine.
Sensing Lorraine's current magical power level, he seemed to be just an ordinary necromancer.
Voldir felt a little strange. The Deathbringer, the Plaguebringer, the warrior favored by the Queen, who was widely rumored in Undercity, seemed too weak... There must be more secrets about him.
Voldir didn't delve into the matter, simply politely seeing him out of the hut and urging him to help as soon as possible... If he was too late, the enemy might relocate the four traitors... and no one wanted to bear the wrath of the Undercity Queen then...
Lorraine nodded subconsciously, which was considered a solution to this thorny problem.
Next, he still needs to meet with Tarren Mill's true superior... Senior Executive Officer Dasalia...
The three guards were not far from the door. They watched as Lorraine came out and continued to escort her forward, as if she were a prisoner.
This made him very unhappy...
Looking around, people were constantly moving about. I wondered what these undead, who neither eat nor drink nor sleep, were busy with.
Soon, we arrived at the center of the town.
A female undead wearing a gray hood gazes up at Lorraine...
The other person seems to be a bit petite...
"Lorraine, the plague messenger, has arrived, sir!"
The guard reported that the female ghost had been repeatedly scrutinizing Lorraine... then nodded, "Continue patrolling. Kill any suspicious persons who approach."
Lorraine was startled by the order; it seemed the guard had been being polite by giving him the code. The real order was to eliminate all living or dead creatures approaching Tarren Mill. Lorraine caught sight of a bear approaching from the side and behind, outside the cemetery; the guards immediately rushed over and hacked it to death...
"Is it really that hard to find a Plaguebringer? Carlos told me a long time ago that you were coming to help us. The Undercity military report also said that you might need our support, but I haven't received any news from the Sentinels for several days. I thought our invincible Plaguebringer had already done his duty for the Queen..."
Senior Executive Officer Dasalia berated Lorraine in an annoyed tone...
Lorraine shrugged. "I did receive a military order, but it didn't say I had to report to the front lines..." He wondered who was watching him all this time... why everyone else knew about his situation, but he knew nothing about anything.
I always feel like there's a pair of eyes watching me...
I had never been to Hillsbrad Foothills before, and all the routes were roughly guided by my teacher based on his memory, which I then explored on my own. According to the map, if I went from Silverpine Forest to Hillsbrad Foothills, the journey wasn't too far, and if I took the main road, it would probably only take a few hours to reach Tarren Mill.
However, the road is close to human territory, and there are still many human settlements on the outskirts of Ambermir.
The mage apprentices of Dalaran have reappeared on the edge of Silverpine Forest, tasked with reclaiming the legacy of the Dalaran crater and investigating any remaining magical fissures and energy. Recently, the number of troops at the human camp by the lake has been increasing, along with a significant number of Kirin Tor mages...
Master Anslem's plan is proceeding smoothly.
The next human counterattack is imminent, and Ambermill, which Lorraine once seized, has become a hot potato, facing even greater pressure than Tarrenmill.
"Lieutenant General Yerik is now the quartermaster of Frostwolf, strictly speaking, he is independent of us and in charge of battlefield affairs. Our mission is more important; we protect Undercity and the Forsaken. The Queen's orders are to stop the enemy, and anyone who dares to stand in our way will die!"
Senior Executive Officer Dasalia stared at Lorraine, poked his forehead with her finger, and said, "You've disappointed me!"
Lorraine didn't understand, didn't comprehend...
The bewildered look only fueled the executive's anger.
"The results of your battle at the lake were reported directly to Lord Varimathras by the aerial scouts. He ordered us to hold the line. Undercity now needs enough airships, so a large number of bat air units have been redeployed to guard the lake. Prevent the enemy from crossing Lake Lordamere... If necessary, scorched earth and abandon Ambermill. The order is to ensure uninterrupted air transport along the coast. Be on high alert for a human siege of Tarren Mill!"
Lorraine said anxiously, "We can't give up Ambermill... otherwise Lake Lorraine will become someone else's springboard."
"Hmph, I think you're just reluctant to give up your pitiful military merits... The Forsaken don't care about the gain or loss of a single city or territory, Her Majesty the Queen wants a complete victory! If necessary, Undercity can be abandoned, but the current situation is..."
Dasalia pointed to her feet and said:
"Not a single watchtower in Tarrenmir can be lost!"
"Oh, I see."
Lorraine responded with an awkward laugh...
He couldn't understand why this high-ranking executive in Tarren Mill was so irritable. Undead women seemed to be all like that. When he first became a recruit and asked an undead girl a question, she snapped at him, "Do you think I'm like you, doing nothing all day?"
"It's good that you've come. Put Lieutenant General Yerik's matter aside for now. Right now, I need you to recapture the lost watchtowers, reopen the severed supply lines, and kill as many enemies as possible to make up for the Forsaken soldiers who sacrificed themselves to support you!"
"Southshore, go and cause a ruckus for me, bring them out, I'll teach them a lesson... Their main force is currently in the valley below Hillsbrad Foothills... Southshore's forces are reduced, this is a great opportunity."
"Furthermore, the human militia in Hillsbrad Foothills are becoming increasingly rampant, constantly supplying the enemy. We must cut them off at the Dagger of Coran. This is up to you, my Plaguebringer... If you fail, send them directly to a military court! Let the Shadow of Oblivion examine your loyalty to the Queen!"
A blatant threat...
Lorraine's good temper suddenly changed...
Why does this undead woman seem to be targeting me...? Could she also be from the Daefryn family in Brill? She's just like Mayor Brill...
I heard that in order to support the Battle of the Valley, the reinforcements sent by Tarren Mill were directly surrounded in the direction of Hillsbrad Farm, and even two of the most distant watchtowers were lost.
Senior Executive Dathalia's anger seems to have a reason, the biggest being that Lorraine inexplicably appeared out of Mount Alterac...
By provoking humanity and challenging the responsibility of war, Varimathras named Lorraine, the Plaguebringer, as the first to fire the first shot in his military report...
