Aaron's reminder was quite timely. When he returned to Covenant City, VanCleef, who was responsible for temporarily managing Covenant City on behalf of Illucia, knew nothing about Undead's arrival.
This is not to blame for this former agent whose main job is to be a stonemason. After all, his subordinate Stonemasons' Guild has not transformed into Defias Brotherhood. Naturally, his intelligence collection ability is not surprising. He can only get information through the businessmen who go to and from Covenant City.
VanCleef's judgment is consistent with Aaron. He does not think that Covenant City will become the target of Scourge, but necessary precautions need to be taken. Fortunately, Covenant City is not only Blood Knights The headquarters of is also home to a group of Tyr's Guard who came to guard Covenant City. In terms of the number of Paladin alone, Covenant City is probably less than the headquarters of Silver Hand.
After asking VanCleef to take care of his home, Aaron hurriedly left Covenant City and rode a griffon over Eversong Woods. Aaron clearly saw Undead's marching track.
Judging from the traces, Scourge turned northeast after exiting Windrunner Village and headed towards Silvermoon City along the main road. The second half of the route of these Undead is not much different from the Dead Scar in the game., but the impact is much smaller than that of Dead Scar. At least from Aaron's perspective, the land Undead traveled has not completely died, and it should not form Dead Scar that cannot be purified for more than ten years.
At this time, Undead's forward has crossed Tranquillien and arrived at the shore of the Elrendar River. It seems that he intends to use Undead's body to forcibly build a bridge. Necropolis, who is following the Undead army, has already crossed the river and started flying towards the north. It seems that he is clearing obstacles for the army to move forward.
However, this strategy of Scourge was completely useless. At least in Aaron's field of vision, there was not a single High Elf along the way. It has to be said that their escape speed was really fast. How long did it take? It was less than a day after Aaron and the others saw Scourge docking.
Aaron speculates that this is related to the painful memories that Orcs's invasion brought to High Elf. It was precisely because of the previous experience that High Elf were able to complete the retreat in such a short period of time.
The speed of Aaron flying in the air was much faster than that of Undead, which was slowly marching on the ground, and Necropolis, which was not flying fast. In the evening of that day, it threw the Undeads out of sight. At this time, Aaron finally saw traces of a batch of High Elf.
Judging from the large number of carriages in this team, they should have fled to Silvermoon City from Tranquillien and several nearby settlements. After watching the unhurried actions of High Elf in the air for a while, Aaron did not land, but chose to turn back. Finally, they found the rangers setting traps in the woods behind these elves.
The rangers know very well that they are not the opponents of Undead. After all, the main force of the rangers is still on Isle of Quel'Danas at this time. They can only hope that these traps can delay the enemy's actions.
It's a pity that this little trick did not hinder the number of Undead. Early the next morning, the Undead army appeared outside Silvermoon City.
Compared with the slightly monotonous troop configuration and relatively thin force when besieging Dalaran, the Undead army in front of us is the true form of Scourge. In addition to the dozen Necropoliss in the sky, there are also a large number of Frost Proto-Dragon firmly controls the sky of Eversong Woods. Neither Dragonhawk Rider nor the newly formed Eagle Knights are able to compete with hundreds of Proto-Dragon for dominance in the sky. If you want to expel them, you may have to wait for reinforcements from Dragonflights to arrive.
The Scourge army on the ground is no longer mainly composed of cannon fodder skeleton soldiers, mixed with a small amount of other Undead's street fighting lineup. The main force at this time is a group of Undead giants who are as tall as hills. This is not Aaron The skeletal giant that solved in Dalaran was a real giant. Although it did not have many strange characteristics like the skeletal giant, there were far more of them. Among other things, the pressure caused by dozens of four- to five-meter-tall giants lined up in a row was very great.
After the Undead giants, there are Undead transformed from various races. In addition to ordinary skeletons and Ghoul, there are also a large number of skeleton mages with blue will-o'-the-wisps in their eyes, and skeleton archers holding bows and arrows.
As for Banshee Abomination Gargoyle, those are all Undead An old acquaintance of the Legion, what is different this time is that there are a small number of suspended black stone statues in the Undead battle formation. These stone statues give Aaron a familiar sense of danger, as if these stone statues are directly commanded by Ner'zhul.
"This is really putting down all the family's wealth." Aaron came to this conclusion after looking around. Coupled with the giant Necropolis near Quel'Danas, Ner'zhul probably took out all the troops he had accumulated over the years.
It seems that the degree of control of Ner'zhul in this time and space by the Burning Legion is much stronger than in "official history". Otherwise, with Ner'zhul's cunning, he would definitely not be willing to send all his troops.
The effect of such a large-scale Undead is also very obvious. At the beginning, the High Elf and Legion who had completed their army were gearing up to give these enemies a It looked good, but after paying the price of half Legion, High Elf decisively retracted Silvermoon City, activated the magic barrier, and prepared to wait for the arrival of reinforcements.
"This person is a bit too cowardly." After Aaron learned of Silvermoon City Council's decision, his dislike for these guys increased. It seems that Alliance's several troop supports made these guys lose their will to fight.
What Aaron didn't know was that after activating the barrier to protect Silvermoon City, the big shots who controlled Silvermoon City even began to discuss whether they should all evacuate to Quel'Danas and abandon Silvermoon City.
The reason was that the Archmages responsible for controlling the barrier discovered that due to the ongoing battle at Quel'Danas and the huge strength of the enemy, Silvermoon City's protective barrier could only last for two or three days before being breached.
Representative Silvermoon City who supported the evacuation also gave another reason. With Silvermoon City dispersing the energy output of Sunwell, the situation on Quel'Danas's side may also worsen. It is better to concentrate all the troops in one place, which can better protect Sunwell and prevent Sunwell from falling into the enemy's hands.
This reason sounds reasonable. The only problem is that if Silvermoon City is handed over to Scourge, then the enemy can also use Sunwell's energy in Silvermoon City. Then Scourge may not need to board Quel'Danas to summon Burning Legion.
