Jiang Jie nodded slightly.
They were all leaders during World War II and members of the Alliance, so they were naturally quite familiar with each other.
King Thoradin was, after all, a king, and he had the ability to judge people. He believed that Falstad would definitely come to help, and he did.
"But as far as I know, at least five hundred Wildhammer Gryphon Rider were lured to the Alterac Mountains by Duke Jorach with half an ancient black dragon's corpse to fight the Syndicate, the Yetis, and the Ogres! Aerie Peak didn't have many Gryphon Rider to begin with, and now they probably can't even send five hundred to help us. And by the time they arrive, it will be at least two days before they get here."
Jiang Jie moved his hand outside Stromgarde, near the Refuge Pointe: "We must take the initiative, slow down the Undead's advance, and buy them as much time as possible!"
"Holy crap!"
King Thoradin declared resolutely, "I will go and fight the Undead! I didn't get to fight Orgrim during World War II, so this will fulfill one of my wishes!"
"You alone aren't enough. Nightbane and Shadow Phoenix will help you. The Earthen troops are too slow, and the walls aren't fully repaired yet. Stromgarde can't do without them."
Jiang Jie nodded and said, " The Fenris People's Army can't help you either. I need to use them to deal with the Cult of the Damned, the Syndicate, the demons lurking in Stromgarde, and those who have sided with the Burning Legion!"
There must still be members of the Cult of the Damned in Stromgarde, who might unleash a plague or something, so we have to be on guard. And the only one who can find them as quickly as possible is Jiang Jie.
The lurking demons, as well as those who have sided with the Burning Legion, may also take the opportunity to cause trouble.
As for the Syndicate?
Jiang Jie was certain that Duke Falconcrest had been waiting for this opportunity, waiting for the Stromgarde forces to come out in full force and fight the Undead to the death, resulting in mutual destruction, so that the Syndicate could take advantage of the chaos and seize Stromgarde!
The Assassins' League booklet contains over a thousand names, but there are definitely more in reality, and many people haven't even been identified by the Assassins' League.
This force should not be underestimated; the Stromgarde Guard alone is certainly not enough to deal with it. Therefore, Jiang Jie must keep the Fenris People's Army behind and deal with these people as soon as possible to prevent any unforeseen circumstances at a critical moment.
It can be said that Stromgarde currently beset by internal and external troubles, with various potential dangers at any moment. Jiang Jie must proceed with extreme caution and cannot afford to make the slightest mistake.
Clearly, King Thoradin, Nightbane, and Shadow Phoenix alone cannot defeat the Undead, and even stalling for time will be difficult, since Kel'Thuzad is still around and can handle King Thoradin and his allies by himself.
Fortunately, Jiang Jie had reinforcements.
In front of King Thoradin, Jiang Jie took out an image crystal and activated it.
An image of Undead appeared before Jiang Jie, along with a giant telescope. " Nicholas, I'm observing the SF-234 Galaxy, don't disturb me!"
"Master Meryl, Kel'Thuzad has appeared, right here in Arathi Highlands."
Jiang Jie quickly explained the general situation to Meryl, then said, "If we miss this opportunity, it will be difficult to find Kel'Thuzad again! I know you have a way to contact Lady Aegwynn, so please tell her that if she still wants to repair that staff, she should come quickly!"
Before Meryl could reply, Jiang Jie canceled the remote communication.
" Meryl? Meryl Winterstorm? The Undead who lived for 2800 years? Aegwynn Medivh's mother? The previous Guardian of Tirisfal?"
King Thoradin, being the king of a nation, held a very high position and naturally knew the legends of the Council of Tirisfal, as well as the existence of Meryl Winterstorm and Aegwynn. With a mixture of curiosity and surprise, he asked, "You know them? Will they come?"
"Maybe, I'm not sure." Jiang Jie shook his head.
No one could fathom Aegwynn's thoughts, and Jiang Jie didn't know if she would come.
Most importantly, Aegwynn took Med'an and Anveena to the Hall of the Keeper, which is actually located at the Tomb of Sargeras Hall of the Keeper.
The Tomb of Sargeras is not safe right now. Aegwynn is probably busy dealing with the demons there, and it's uncertain whether she'll have time to come over. In her mind, the Tomb of Sargeras is clearly more important than Stromgarde, and the Burning Legion is more difficult to deal with than the Scourge.
As for Meryl, this old mage did not participate in World War I or World War II, nor did he appear when the Scourge of the Undead Scourge ravaged the land. Jiang Jie was unsure whether he would appear now.
"Do your best and leave the rest to fate, Your Majesty."
Jiang Jie sighed, then said, "Be careful! Don't fight the Undead for long; just try to harass them!"
Without delay, King Thoradin quickly departed, taking Nightbane and Shadow Phoenix " Pyralis " with him.
Jiang Jie immediately sent Darion on a griffin to Southshore for reinforcements, and Ivan to Aerie Peak for reinforcements. At the same time, he summoned all the other members of the Fenris People's Army.
He took out the booklet he had received from the Gnomes Archmage, tore it open, one page for each person. "Ignore the ordinary members, kill all the Syndicate leaders!"
The Stromgarde Syndicate has over a thousand members. Eliminating them all would surely cause new unrest, which is unacceptable.
Moreover, time is limited, and making a move would alert the enemy. It's impossible to eliminate all of them; we can only deal with the leaders first.
Once the Syndicate leader is eliminated, the ordinary members won't be able to cause any trouble. They will most likely continue to hide their identities and gradually shed the Syndicate label, living like ordinary people.
Everyone left, and then Jiang Jie also left the palace.
The leader of the Syndicate, " Duke Falconcrest," must be dealt with personally, and only he can see through the members of the Cult of the Damned and the demons lurking in the city.
An hour later, in the mansion where Duke Falconcrest lived, more than twenty corpses fell without making a sound. Jiang Jie, holding the " Malchezaar's Dagger," left the place.
Duke Falconcrest himself was no nobody; he was a skilled thief and a formidable Warrior. Fenris People's Army probably had no one who could defeat him one-on-one, not even Lilian and Sven. Moreover, there was more than just Duke Falconcrest here; there were over twenty Defias elites as well.
But in front of Jiang Jie, they were nothing more than a few stronger grasshoppers.
Leaving the mansion, Jiang Jie traversed the entire city. The game pod covered an area of one kilometer, leaving no place for any members of the Cult of the Damned or any demons to hide.
Over the next day, Jiang Jie wandered the city like an invisible ghost, leaving more than two hundred souls dead by his dagger.
Continue on the second day.
During this time, some members of the Cult of the Damned who sensed something was wrong tried to escape, but Jiang Jie ignored them. Some members of the Cult of the Damned, in desperation, spread a plague, but it was all discovered in time, resulting in only a few dozen deaths and injuries, and did not cause a major disaster.
Meryl finally arrived, but unfortunately, he couldn't get in touch with Aegwynn.
He had a way to contact Aegwynn, but Aegwynn seemed to be away from the Hall of the Keeper, instead having entered the Tomb of Sargeras, heavily sealed off and isolated from his magic, making contact impossible.
But the fact that Meryl came is enough.
He quickly went to meet with King Thoradin.
With him around, there's no need to worry about Kel'Thuzad. The harassment tactics finally took effect, slowing the Undead's advance by more than half.
Early on the third day, three hundred Wildhammer Gryphon Rider arrived, and the leader was none other than the Highlord of Aerie Peak: Falstad Wildhammer!
