Warhorse of Dick was the first to rush into the Undead Sea.

With the Holy Power intensity in his body now, these Lesser Undeads will feel Pain just by being close to him, let alone when he rides on Warhorse, they will actively Charge.

Before becoming Lord, when Dick led the knights Charge, there would always be an inexplicable feeling. The knights traveling super fast, the opponents being knocked away, The body's perception can't even keep up with the speed of Warhorse. The skin is in contact with the fast-flowing wind. The contrast between ultra-fast and slow is like the surrounding light has turned into black and white Light and Shadow.

That is the romance of knights.

Now Dick, War Banner with Silver Hand on his back, what he is holding in his hand is not Fire of Justice, but a pole more than two meters long The heavy Lance, this terrible weapon, is also called "Dragonlance" in some fantasy legends. It is said to be a weapon specially used to deal with Dragon.

The conical gun body gives the Lance unparalleled puncture performance. This heavy weapon cannot be controlled directly by hand.

For ordinary knights, once they use a lance, they must "lift" it between their arms and the center of their body at a ninety-degree angle to the body, and use their wrists to control the direction of the lance. When the horse charges at full strength, the knights only need to control the lance forward. The kinetic energy of the war horse can make the lance a powerful weapon that can penetrate everything.

However, Paladin has stronger strength than ordinary knights, so it can support heavier armor, and in Charge, Lance can be used as the main battle weapon.

Dick led the knights to fight all the way to the position where Mage were besieged. The Lance in his hand waved left and right and turned into a whirlwind like a windmill, accompanied by Warhorse's speed became slower and slower, and he and Warhorse beneath him broke away from the knights' battle line. They changed from just collision to using Holy Light energy to attack.

The large-scale Holy Shock and Consecration can be used alternately to clear a range of nearly 10 meters with one blow. Dick uses this method to create another acceleration for the subsequent cavalry. In the open space, the Gryphon Riders whizzing past their heads would also throw the powerful Engineering Bombss from the sky towards the battlefield in front of Order of Knightss, creating enough distance for the knights.

The 300 Paladin who rushed over from Chillwind Camp were all experienced knights who had proven themselves on the West Darrowmere battlefield. So when there was enough space in front of them, they decisively injected Holy Light into the somewhat tired Warhorse's body and started to accelerate again.

40 meters is enough speed for Warhorse to lift it up again.

Using a two-pronged approach, Dick and Order of Knights, as well as the following Champion, under the cover of Flying Troops who completely occupied the sky battlefield, it took less than 20 minutes to approach Mage Position in the center of the battlefield.

Holy Light and Undead are a pair of almost incompatible opponents. Although Dick knows that in the next few years, those Free Undead who use their own willpower to break free from the shackles of Lich King will also master the use of Holy Light, but the appearance of Undead Priest is just a coincidence.

At least for now, facing the elite knights of the cluster Charge, these Lesser Undead gathered by Arthas are of little use at all.

What's more, behind Dick of Charge, there are more Champion to support, stabilize the attack, and maintain this retreat window, which is their task. Dick and Paladins are only responsible for rushing!

Rush to the edge of Dalaran and rescue those Mages!

The destruction of Dalaran is irresistible. These precious Mage Forces must be preserved to lay a solid foundation for the future counterattack starting from now on.

However, behind the 300 Paladin, there are also the Wolf Riders of Orcs, and the Hawkstrider knight of High Elf. Following at the end is the Thirty Steam Tank of Stormpike Dwarves at the bottom of the box.

This is Iron Colossus made by Engineering's highly developed Gnomes people and Dwarves's skilled craftsmen.

Using steam power, the speed is not very fast, but for ordinary Undead, these iron lumps decorating the Ironwood shell are just turtles that cannot be bitten. The top of the huge Steam Tank is Gnomes The engineers of temporarily added Repeating Firearm, which is also powered by steam. When Dick saw this black technology for the first time, he almost burst into tears. Isn't this the magical version of "Gatling"!

Handmade metal bullets, coupled with Dwarves Gunpowder made by Secret Technique, allow these Repeating Firearm to clear an entire area of Undead's attack every time they roar.

The main function of this Thirty Steam Tank is to cooperate with the Orcs Infantry to maintain this escape route, and to serve as the main force for breaking the rear and suppressing fire during the retreat.

The Mages of Quel'Thalas have already set up Portal heading towards Dandabaur at the edge of the battlefield, facing Archlich Spatial Seal was arranged by himself. Unless Kael'thas comes in person, relying on them, there is still no way to break this Spatial Barrier that is beyond the understanding of ordinary people.

Didn't you see, Archmage of this level Antonidas, after 10 days of painstaking research in Dalaran, haven't you been able to break through this layer of Spatial Barrier?

Don't underestimate Kel'Thuzad. Although he has become a sad lunatic, his talent in magic cannot be underestimated.

The tasks of Wolf Riders and Dwarves Ram Riders are relatively more difficult. As the most flexible of all arms, they are responsible for assisting the exhausted Mages in retreating as quickly as possible after Paladin penetrates Undead Sea. Retreat, for this big Operation, Drek'Thar and Fandral Staghelm even spent all their wealth to gather a total of 4,000 cavalry of various colors. They only need to make a trip in this life-threatening situation to pick out all the Mages.

Of course, this kind of risking one's life is not free. The gratitude towards Dalaran's hidden Forbidden Knowledge and Human World's most powerful Mage organization is enough for the superiors to take a risk.

As for the Hawkstrider knight, it is purely the selfishness of High Elf's Commander, Ranger-General Sylvanas.

The general is now riding ahead on Warhorse, following behind Dick. Her eyes are fixed on the center of the battlefield that is getting closer and closer, as if she is looking for something.

Of course Dick knows the purpose of Sylvanas. As the contemporary patriarch of Windrunner family, as a sister, it is understandable to care about her safety, although Vereesa secretly married Human Mage and was expelled from the family by Sylvanas, but if the family love flowing in Bloodline could be calculated so simply, there would be no such regrets in this world.

Although Sylvanas had a cold expression of "I don't care whether Vereesa is dead or alive", when she really saw her sister who was held in Rhonin's arms, she didn't know whether she was alive or dead. At that time, Ranger-General rushed down Warhorse immediately, kicked Rhonin away with an unusual Anger kick, and held his sister in his arms.

"Wake up! Vereesa, my sister! Wake up!"

Sylvanas touched the wound on Vereesa's abdomen, glared at Rhonin who stood up with a murderous look, took the water handed over by Deputy, and carefully poured it into Vereesa's mouth.

However, seeing that Sylvanas was planning to accompany his sister on the battlefield, Dick turned his head and glanced, turning into a sea of undead that came up in waves again, and shouted in a fierce tone,

"Sylvanas, arrange for Mage to retreat! Your sister is not dead yet, and she will not die here! Go quickly!"

Ranger-General is not an incompetent guy, he just messed up the stitches because of his relatives. After hearing Dick's cry, she also reacted, handed Vereesa to Deputy, and then took out War Bow and Arrows,

"Rangerss! Prepare Suppressive Fire!"

"Warrior come forward, Defensive Formation!"

"Mage, who can still move, helps resist Undead!"

"The cavalry goes to pick Fellow Riders!"

"Put all these seriously injured guys on Steam Tank!"

"Dick, let your knight rest where he is, and prepare to clear Undead Sea again in ten minutes!"

"Marshal Fandral, let the Gryphon Riders help that Red Dragon! Its Breath can make us less stressed!"

Under the Amplification imposed by Rhonin on Ranger-General, Sylvanas's orders were conveyed one after another. Soon, under the command of this general with outstanding command ability, a simple Defensive Line was initially constructed.

With the brave Orcs and Dwarves blocking the front, the remaining Mage were finally able to unscrupulously take advantage of their forts. For a time, this large position with tens of thousands of people mixed in was stabilized.

The Mage who narrowly escaped death cheered. Their Pride could no longer be seen. They all followed Sylvanas's instructions very respectfully and started doing their own things. Rhonin used Communications Stone to connect Ansirem Archmage and Drenden Archmage who were still holding on to Dalaran.

After learning that Ansirem Archmage had nearly a thousand Mage moving towards the position with difficulty, Dick and the knights rushed in again, and after losing more than a dozen Mage who voluntarily cut off the rear, they successfully brought them back to the position.

But Drenden Archmage has been unable to contact him, which makes Rhonin somewhat uneasy.

However, he is anxious, and Rhonin also knows that the more than 4,000 Mage who have been rescued now are already the limit of what this rescue team can rescue.

Gryphon troops and Mortar Squad, got Stormpike Under the command of Grand Marshal, nearly five waves of cluster bombings were carried out against Crypt Lord in the air and on the ground. Coupled with the support from both Sylvanas and Drek'Thar, tons of Engineering Bombs were used to force Crypt Lord, who had no way to deal with the air, back underground, leaving the seriously injured Red Dragon. Krasus, saved a life.

After staying in place for more than ten minutes, Steam Tank broke off the attack, and Paladins opened a path in the front, protected by Ranger Corps in the middle, a two-man and one-horse transfer unit.

Orcs and Dwarves Cavalry basically carry one Mage. In this case, it is very difficult to accelerate.

Although it is a rescue, from Dick's point of view, this is completely Great Escape. In fact, it is indeed the case. If he can get the full support of Order of the Silver Hand and Quel'Thalas Dynasty, he is confident of defeating these Undeads head-on., but in fact, whether it is Silver Hand or Quel'Thalas, they have more important things to do. To be able to achieve this assistance to the present level, Dick feels that he is worthy of these Mage.

You know, in the original history, after Dalaran was destroyed, the number of Mage that survived was not even one-sixth of the original number. But now, they first found a way to get nearly 2,000 apprentices from the stubborn Antonidas to Stormwind City, And when Dalaran was in danger, he took Three-Race Alliance Forces and rescued more than 4,000 Mage from Undead.

It can be said that Dick single-handedly allowed Dalaran to save nearly half of its power!

But this is his limit... Facing half a million Undead, no one can ask him to do better.

After the transfer of the large force, after losing five Steam Tank and nearly a thousand casualties, they finally successfully broke away from the pursuit of Undead. When Rhonin and Landarock saw Red Dragon mage being carried on the backs of Dick Krasus's miserable look, when Archmage Ansirem, Pain finally left Dalaran, conveyed Archmage to everyone When the news of Antonidas's death was heard, these Pride and Mage even knelt on the ground and cried bitterly.

Arthas used a crazy plan to make Dalaran fall, and used unparalleled power to ambush Dalaran's leader, Human World's strongest Archmage, and the endless Undead Sea under its command, and even almost destroyed the last strength of Dalaran.

This continuous bad news is like a series of slaps, one slap after another on the face of these Mage, and it also officially declares to the whole world the terror and power of Undead Scourge.

Two of Lordaeron and Dalaran, Tirisfal, West Darrowmere, Silverpine Forest, Ghostlands, and Seven Kingdoms Alliance have perished in the ravages of Undead Scourge. Even Magical Kingdom and Quel'Thalas are on the verge of national destruction. Nearly half of the entire Northern Frontier has fallen under the control of Undead Scourge.

If the previous Undead Scourge was just a problem for Northern Frontier, then now, this Scourge has become a problem for the entire Eastern Kingdoms.

But Dick knows... this is really just the beginning of Azeroth's 20 years of ups and downs, and it's just the beginning of all disasters for Prologue.
