Menethil's Power

Chapter 301 In the name of the Messenger of Light

Facts have proved that Saurfang's doubts about whether Lordaeron can fight against the natural disasters are unfounded. Because of the plague that broke out in the Silverpine Forest, Lordaeron has already entered a state of full alert, so after the undead from the natural disasters passed through the wall of Thoradin Before it spread to too many places, Lordaeron's main force had already reached the Hillsbrad Hills.

And the supreme commander of this army is Uther the Lightbringer.

Staying back is a means that high-ranking people must master. Isaacs never asked Uther to go to Quel'Thalas with him for support. Lightbringer has always been used as the guarding force of Lordaeron. He and his entire team The Knights of the Silver Hand will definitely play the role of a magic needle in the sea in this campaign.

Of course, being able to rush from Tirisfal Glades to Hillsbrad so quickly does not rely on the four hooves of the horse. The railway is a very important part of the infrastructure that Isaacs has planned for Lordaeron in recent years, so Silver The Knights of the Hand and the war machines they equipped took rail trains and traveled the distance of most of Lordaeron in just one day.

The awareness of large-scale railway construction can be said to be beyond the current era, but its technical content is not too high. Kezan's Bilgewater Goblin has mastered perfect railway technology, and what Isaacs needs to do is to pass Garuwe Mike's Macdonald Company hired a group of goblin railway experts who were already poor and could hardly afford to eat.

The Knights of the Silver Hand is a formal paladin organization that is loyal to the church and the royal family of Menethil at the same time. All paladins in the country must be named in it, but the leader Uther has the right to govern only the resident church. Therefore, the Knights of the Silver Hand are gradually being used to characterize these devout church knights.Like Uther, they have very firm beliefs and relatively conservative ideas.

Although he holds the position of deputy head, Isaacs does not have any idea of ​​interfering in the internal affairs of the Knights of the Silver Hand. It is not a bad thing to have such a group of truly devout people. They are very important to the balance and stability of Tyre's belief system. important role.

Of course, conservative thinking is not an advantage in most cases. When all the basic legions in Lordaeron are equipped with punishers and furnace ray guns, the Knights of the Silver Hand can be said to be the least transformed army.

After all, for these pious paladins, faith is their most powerful weapon.

After arriving in Hillsbrad, the Knights of the Silver Hand marched with amazing efficiency. After cleaning up several infected villages, these paladins were undoubtedly enraged by the evil deeds of the natural disaster, and their morale became weaker. It is extremely expensive, and with the help of the local guards, it is almost a sweeping trend to launch a devastating blow to the natural disaster. ;
In the original history, the ability of natural disasters to destroy the northern continent in one fell swoop had a lot to do with Alsace. The fall of the prince directly led to the collapse of this most powerful human country. The population of nearly one million directly became the constant stream of the Scourge. Source of troops.But in this time and space reversed by Isaacs, the Scourge appears to be rather sluggish.

Apart from ignoring pain and not worrying about morale, the characteristic of the undead army is that they can support their battles with battles. Corpses are a very important resource for them, but unfortunately it is almost impossible for them to obtain them when facing the paladins of the Silver Hand With such resources, no matter how many zombies transformed by ordinary humans, they would be directly turned into fly ash in the holy light. Even the stitch monsters that the Cursed Cultists worked hard to create could only cause a certain amount of trouble.

After all, the artifact of the Silver Hand has fallen into the hands of Isaacs, and the belief system of Tyr's Holy Light is several levels stronger than that in the original timeline, and the most devout knights of these beliefs will benefit the most.

Garin, the new king of Stromgarde, never expected that the invincible Scourge in his eyes would be so unbearable. Uther himself was as dazzling as the sun on the battlefield, and there was no role in the Scourge that could stop him. Paladins would never use anything Instead of plotting and tricking, but attacking upright, Garin had to flee in a hurry-although he had newly obtained the power bestowed by the Lich King, he didn't think he could face the Lightbringer.

You must know that in the original timeline, even with the full help of the Lich King Ner'zhul and the magic sword Frostmourne, Arthas almost died under the hammer of the Lightbringer, and although he was also a fallen prince, Garin no matter Whether it's talent or ability, it's not as good as Alsace, and the so-called Excalibur "Tokallar", which became famous by killing trolls, is even worse than Frostmourne.

Relying on the spell of the Lich Les Frostwhisper, Garin was not caught up by the paladins. He and his transformed undead soldiers had to retreat to the Wall of Thoradin, and the undead used the walls of the ancient human empire to defend themselves Paladin's attack, this is really ironic.

"Garin! I feel sorry for your father having a son like you! Your crimes will surely come to an end" Uther shouted under the wall of Thoradin, holding high the justice of the Holy Light.

The current king of Stromgarde didn't answer, and he didn't even dare show his face.

Seeing that Uther seemed to be about to charge with his paladins again, Thassarian, who had been hesitant to speak, finally couldn't hold back, "Please let the Punisher carry out the siege battle, Your Excellency!" Said.

Thassarian, who worked in the "ghost" organization after graduation, was originally monitoring Thrall's location as usual, but not long ago he suddenly discovered the traces of the undead Scourge invasion, so he quickly returned to the royal city to report and participated in the battle. From the perspective of young people with new-style fighting ideas, Uther's command style is simply extremely primitive.

The order is basically based on shouting, as the supreme commander, he takes the lead instead of observing the overall situation, does not know how to use new weapons such as the Punisher and the Immortal equipped with a flamethrower, and tries to initiate a commander-in-chief when he has an absolute advantage. Thassarian felt that he was about to be overwhelmed by the direct attack on the city wall with human flesh.

This crushing victory was entirely due to Uther's personal strength and the paladin's restraint against the undead natural disasters. It had almost nothing to do with the command of the Lightbringer himself. If he led an army of ordinary soldiers, it would be It's a completely different ending.

This is why whether it was Lothar, Turalyon before, or Isaacs now, they all believe that the head of the Knights of the Silver Hand is the most suitable and only suitable position for Uther.

Fortunately, the Lightbringer was not a headstrong person. He accepted Thassarian's suggestion, and several Punishers were quickly erected, blasting a gap in Thoradin's Wall, and then the Silver Hand Knights quickly occupied it. It turned out that among the undead who commanded the battle were only a few mid-level and low-level psychics, and Jialin and the lich had long since disappeared.

Standing on the wall of Thoradin, Uther looked at the Arathi Highlands. If he wanted to kill the grass, he had to continue to pursue it. But he knew that he had the responsibility to defend the ground. For now, he still needs to temporarily stabilize the defense line and continue to search whether Hillsbrad is still alive. It is better to have an infected place, after all, natural disasters and plagues pose an extremely deadly threat to ordinary humans.

"Take a break and repair this city wall!" Uther ordered; "Half! Take a team of people into the Kingdom of Stromgarde to investigate. I need to know what is left of this kingdom."

……

Hundreds of miles away from the battlefield, the Alterac Mountains.

A group of orc leaders gathered around a pool, which clearly showed the scene of the Silver Hand's battle, and everyone fell into silence.

The pool of foresight can show the scene that the shaman sees through the vision spell, which is obviously a spell cast by Drek'Thar.

"Who is that human?" Grom asked suddenly.

"Uther Lightbringer, the most powerful paladin of mankind, he got his title from fighting us." Saurfang said.

"I think we should be able to kill him together." Grom rubbed his chin, his eyes flashing with a warlike light.

"Maybe." Saurfang was noncommittal, "However, what we saw was not just Uther, but also a group of very powerful paladins and war machines with amazing range. Eight years ago, they were still using crude With blade throwers, the development of Lordaeron's military power is simply beyond imagination."

"That's why I always think that apart from saving our compatriots, we should try to avoid attacking other human strongholds, and we must not do things like massacres." Thrall said.

"But this knight army must be stationed at the border to prevent those undead from attacking again." Brooks pointed out.

"Yes, this is why we still have a chance to rescue our compatriots." Thrall calmly analyzed, "But as long as we take action, those paladins will definitely send support troops, and the more harm we cause to human civilians The bigger it is, the bigger the support force will be.”

"Then just kill them," Grom growled.

"On the contrary, I think Thrall wants us to strike a balance." Saurfang pondered, "There will inevitably be conflicts and wars between orcs and humans, but" it's best not to Now……
