Chapter 310 Prey and Hunter
"The Burning Legion, Sargeras, Kiljaden, Twisted Void. I thought they were just legends in the story." Terenas said with some emotion. At this time, he was in the Council Hall, meeting with Medivirossa and Lin Xuan.
"Many times I also hope that it is just a story. Even if my magic is just a story, I just hope there will be no more demons in the world." But unfortunately, they are real. And they have come. Medivh replied in an equally low tone.
"They are enemies, the purest enemies. Because their invasion does not even require reason, it is just a nature for them. Without peace talks, without compromise, the war has begun. Your Majesty, a choice needs to be made."
"Haha, the Lordaeron Empire has never been afraid of war. It's just that before that, I need to know everything."
"Of course, this is the chief magic consultant of Storm Kingdom and the person who is most familiar with the Scourge, and he can tell you everything."
Since the chaotic night in the capital passed, the entire Lordaeron has entered an unprecedented serious atmosphere. Countless soldiers appeared on the streets and rushed by. Even the villagers in the towns outside the city often saw established troops passing by. Even the slowest people have realized that the war is coming. But most people still don’t know who their opponent is or what?
"You should advise Terenas. Now is not the time to start the war. We need to contact all countries and form a real human coalition. Lordaeron himself cannot defeat the Burning Legion. Even the Scourge Legion cannot do it." Medieval chattered in Lin Xuan's ear, while Lothar beside him was watching the fun.
"I said why didn't you come to Losa to talk about this, but instead came to me. It seems that in any way, I'm not the best candidate."
"Losa is different from you. He agrees with Lordaeron's troops because he is the military commander of the Storm. He cannot look at the problem from the whole picture like we do."
"Then what reason do you ask me to convince Terenas? The chief magic consultant of the Storm Kingdom, to convince the king of Danloren, who has the brains of the two of us are broken? What reason do I want to convince him?"
"Forehead......"
"Wake up, Medivh, the best time for war will never come. Every moment is the worst time and the best time. In fact, the longer we delay, the stronger the accumulated strength will be. But the same is true for the Scourge. The undead natural disaster has spread in the extreme north, the dead are recovering, and the strength of the legion is also accumulated. Therefore, there is no problem with the actions of the Lordaeron Empire. Instead, we have been trapped in the misunderstanding of thinking. We are always passively defending and waiting passively, but Terenas has pointed us out a new path. Perhaps the chance of taking the initiative is greater."
In a town in the north of Lordaeron, a monster with a limb and full of rotten breath quietly touched the village. Then there was the second, the third, and dozens of ghouls quietly surrounded the entire village. They smelled the breath of living people here. When the ghoul in the leader roared into the village, the killing began.
However, this time the ghouls chose the wrong target. The living people in the village were not the kind of prey they imagined, but a group of dangerous hunters. The relationship between the prey and the hunter was instantly reversed. A huge net suddenly bounced up, entangling the first ghoul. The ghoul's wisdom was not high, so it was obvious that it could not understand that this was the sign of the trap. The remaining ghouls rushed in without slowing down. What awaited them were various fatal traps and powerful crossbow formations. Within just a few breaths, the remaining ghouls were killed completely.
"Bring the living mouth and leave here." The captain led the commander ordered. Immediately, several soldiers stepped forward, contracted the giant net, completely limiting the ghoul's movements. Then they dragged it to a carriage.
“Calculate our gains.”
"So far, we have caught four skeletons, three zombies and one ghoul. According to the original plan, we are still missing a hatred. According to the information, these are the most common troops of the Scourge."
"Scourge! It's a good name. Go to Canyon Town and meet with the third team. It's hard to deal with hatred, we need more people." The young knight gave the order, and this person was Tiffliodin who performed well in a chaotic night.
The vanguard team led by Tiffliodin was responsible for spying on the movements of the Scourge and capturing certain legion survivors in order to provide a psychological warning to the soldiers in the rear. After all, there was no soldier who had the experience of fighting against skeletons and zombies.
Canyon Town, as the name suggests, is a small town in the canyon. The town is not big. However, it is an important place to settle on a trade road in the north, so it is quite energetic. At dusk, the vanguard arrived at Canyon Town. But just as I was about to enter the town, Tifflioddin signaled all the soldiers to stop.
"Lyon, go and take a look first. Something is wrong."
The knight named Lyon stepped forward and watched on a small hill outside the town.
"Nothing was seen abnormally. The lights were already on, there were some pedestrians on the street, and people in the bar could also be seen."
"Maybe I'm too concerned. Lyon, you lead the team to keep our goods. I lead the team to enter the town first, and you can wait for my signal before entering."
Tiffley led a team of knights to approach the town first. However, the closer it was to the town, the stronger the uneasiness in Tiffley's heart. He could already see the residents of the town. But something was wrong.
"It's the sound." Tiffley finally understood where the problem was. There was something wrong in the town, and there was a lot of movement. The sounds of various livestock, the sounds of pedestrians, cars and horses, but there was no language. There were a lot of shaking figures in the tavern, but the rude caravan guards did not make any swearing sounds. The pedestrians on the street just walked silently, walking aimlessly, just like... a walking zombie.
"Retreat, immediately. Send a signal to Lyon and tell him that the whole army is on guard. Immediately." Tiffley shouted, and at this time, his nervous sweat came out. The next second, the town's reaction perfectly cooperated with his actions.
