Attacking through the main gate means facing even more Undead, and the most terrifying demons.
Dathrohan volunteered for the most arduous task, as he was the supreme commander of the Holy Light Allied Forces and had no choice but to take on the responsibility. Moreover, his assignment was already quite favorable to him; his own troops were stronger than the Ashen Army, Brotherhood of the Light also had an advantage over the Elven Ranger forces when facing the Undead.
This was a perfectly normal decision, but Jiang Jie, thinking of the demons deep within Stratholme, still felt a sense of unease. He frowned and said, "Commander-in-Chief, perhaps we should have the Brotherhood of the Light and the Ranger Forces act together. The Ashen Army will go with you..."
"High Commander, my decision has been made. Your task is to execute the order!" Before Jiang Jie could finish speaking, Dathrohan's authoritative voice rang out.
Fenna shook her head at Jiang Jie, and he didn't say anything more.
Although they hadn't spent much time together, he already understood that Dathrohan was a man of his word, and that no one in the entire Order of the Silver Hand, except for Uther the Lightbringer, could change his decisions.
Further discussion is pointless.
Jiang Jie also comforted himself in his heart:
At this point, the Dreadlord Balnazzar had not yet appeared, and there weren't many demons in Stratholme...
It shouldn't be a problem?
Dathrohan quickly led his troops away, and Jiang Jie then turned his attention to the two rangers standing beside him.
The human ranger lord Nathanos Maris, and the elven ranger lord Hawkspear.
The elven ranger force stationed at the Quel'Lithien Lodge was finally found by Nathanos, though they didn't look too happy.
As protectors of Quel'Thalas, abandoning their own slaughtered people to return and help humanity purify the city is a violation of their duty!
If it weren't for their trust in Nathanos and Dathrohan's promise, how could they have possibly returned!
For this reason, Hawkspear was even prepared to be reprimanded by the Ranger General and even stripped of his Ranger Lord status!
Jiang Jie nodded secretly.
The selection process for elven rangers is extremely rigorous. Every qualified elven ranger is exceptional in both archery and combat skills, far surpassing that of human Warrior.
You may hate their indifference, but you cannot deny their power.
The Elf Ranger's overall strength is on par with the Silver Hand Paladin!
Although there are only three hundred rangers, in open-world combat, even a thousand elite Ashen Army would be no match for them!
To be appointed "Ranger Lord," Hawkspear's personal strength must be formidable, certainly no less than that of Nathanos now. The dark green Farstriders' Warbow on his back, and the two crossed one-handed swords, are clearly both epic-level!
The High Elf thousands of years, coupled with their exquisite research into Arcane Magic, enabled them to create countless epic weapons and equipment. Any high-ranking ranger lord or Archmage possessed more than one epic weapon, a feat that even Lordaeron and Dalaran could not match.
Take a look at the equipment of the elven rangers—it's all a mix of blue and green! Meanwhile, most members of the Ashen Army are still using standard-issue equipment; very few are decked out in full green...
" The Ashen Army will be at the forefront; we need the rangers' support. Fenna and I will not issue any orders to you; you will participate in the battle in your own way." Jiang Jie's words improved Hawkspear's expression considerably. The ranger lord nodded to Jiang Jie and said, " The High Elf will not betray humanity's trust!"
His expression remained cold, as was always the case with High Elf towards outsiders.
The Paladin and Warrior that Uther assigned to Fenna were all veterans who had participated in many battles, not to mention the combat prowess of the elven rangers.
A force of 1,300 men, led by Ashbringer, stormed into Stratholme through the Eastwall Gate and arrived at Elders' Square ten minutes later. Oryx stood fully armed at the entrance to the Alonsus Chapel.
He's been waiting for this for a long time!
"Until Stratholme is completely purified, this will be our best sanctuary. All wounded and exhausted soldiers will be sent here to rest, and fallen warriors will be purified here before being transported to Light's Hope Chapel after the war, to join the spirits of those who perished."
Jiang Jie nodded to Oryx standing beside him, then said, "Follow me, the bloody battle begins! For the glory of Lordaeron!"
He drew his divine sword, Strom'kar the Warbreaker, and charged into the Undead. A Whirlwind swept through the shriveled, rotting Undead, revealing his formidable fighting prowess!
"For the Holy Light!"
For Lordaeron!
"For Her Majesty the Queen!"
"For... revenge!"
Fenna followed closely behind, then two hundred well-trained Paladin, and several hundred battle-hardened veterans!
The Priest's staff and hands shimmered with Holy Light as spells struck the Undead, inflicting double the Holy Light damage, while also protecting and healing the Warrior!
A dozen or so mid- to low-level mages joined forces to cast a spell, ice and fire clashing among the Undead, and the Arcane energy was unleashed like a storm!
"For... the glory of the High Elf, for Quel'Thalas!"
Hawkspear took down the Farstriders' Warbow, and an arrow pierced through the gap of less than ten centimeters between the two Warrior, landing on a Ghoul before exploding instantly, blasting away more than a dozen Undead around it and relieving the pressure on the two Warrior!
At the same time, Nathanos's arrows flew like meteors, and three arrows killed nine Undead!
The elven rangers unleashed their power, three hundred bows and three hundred arrows forming a dense barrage. Before the elves ran out of arrows, no Undead could get a single step closer!
The battle line advanced, the rangers moved nimbly, and when they encountered any stray Undead, they drew their swords and killed them with a single strike!
These well-trained rangers, even if they discard their bows and arrows and pick up swords, are still highly skilled swordsmen!
High Elf are not known for their strength, but their speed and agility far surpass those of the human Warrior around them!
Looking at the dashing, swift-as-the-wind elf ranger, Jiang Jie felt envious and secretly made up his mind:
He absolutely must find a way to get a good bow, and then properly learn archery! Perhaps it won't be long before he becomes the second human ranger lord?
There are so many good bows in this world. Leaving aside the legendary ones, there are quite a few epic ones, such as the Windrunner's Warbow, the Quel'Thalas Golden Bow, and the first epic bow from the hunter's epic quest!
Jiang Jie felt that at least two or three of them were relatively easy to acquire.
