Chapter 719 Molotov Cocktail

The thousand-year-old city of Lordaeron has been plunged into war for the second time since its founding due to a surprise attack.

But this time, Duke and his troops no longer came to the rescue.

To suppress the orc uprising not long ago, Lordaeron sent out almost all its capable troops.

And because of the conflict between Uther and Arthas, the Silver Hand was also sent to Andorhal, hundreds of kilometers away.

The remaining troops were all third-rate troops, and they were attacked by "our own people". The people of Lordaeron were suddenly stunned.

A moment ago, the bright sunshine over the city disappeared. Sudden cold dark clouds enveloped the entire city. People were shocked to find that the world had suddenly turned from hot summer to icy winter, with only patches of evil-smelling 'clouds' remaining in the sky.

The cold wind howled and the air was lifeless.

The white city wall climbed up the thick ice at a speed visible to the naked eye. The lively scene of celebrating His Royal Highness the Prince's triumph had long since disappeared, because the screams one after another in the entire city plunged people into panic, and the screams There is a trend of becoming more intensive.

“Ahhhhh——”

"monster!?"

"City Guard! Where is the City Guard!?"

"Mom, I'm so scared!"

There was chaos everywhere, but a little further away from the city was deathly silence.

This is not an adjective, because everyone on the city wall and outside the city gate is dead.

Guard against day and night, it is difficult to guard against house thieves.

As the sole heir of the kingdom, Arthas had nothing to hide. In fact, the old king has still firmly held on to power in recent years, and has begun to reveal many things to Alsace.

Everything became the best nourishment for this killing feast.

The undead - a terrifying existence from the Northrend Icefields. No fear, ruthless, no need to breathe, constantly creating death, letting all living things fall into the arms of death, and then immediately letting the newly deceased stand up staggeringly, raising the butcher knife to chop at the comrades who were just a moment ago. .

Suddenly from midsummer to what seemed like an endless winter, the undead were killing people everywhere. This made the citizens of Lordaeron, who had been peaceful and intoxicated for more than ten years since the year 2 of the Dark Portal, seem to have seen it directly. The end of the world.

Originally, the next development should be like what happened in history. More than 300,000 soldiers and civilians in the entire city of Lordaeron were slaughtered by Alsace's undead troops. Then Alsace directly used these hundreds of thousands of troops to snowball. Sweeping across the entire northern continent.

At this moment, something unexpected happened to Alsace.

At first, he didn't care.

His death knights reported that the humans in the south of the city began to resist fiercely.

Resist! ?

So what if you resist?

The three largest barracks in the city of Lordaeron have been successfully raided by the undead led by his death knights. Nearly 100,000 new and old undead soldiers began to kill from the east, north and west through the wide open city gate. Enter the city gate and surround and suppress the living people in the city.

but……

The situation was still beyond the imagination of this great man who became the king of Lordaeron as a deceased person.

"Run quickly! There is a boat to the south! You can survive after leaving the south gate."

"Those damn monsters are everywhere on the land route!"

Not only were people shouting with loudspeakers, but bright arrows made of flames appeared in countless places in the city, such as the landmark clock tower and high tower.

All arrows point in one clear direction - South!

At this time, a not-too-distant memory came to the minds of the people of Lordaeron.

[Evacuation drill]!

This is a plan that began in the Dark Portal 3 years ago and was proposed by Duke Marcus, the then deputy commander of the alliance.

Duke said this at the time: "In view of the fact that the capitals of three kingdoms within the alliance have been breached at one time, causing irreparable losses to people's lives and property. In order to avoid possible dangers in the future, I propose that all countries follow the rules of their own kings. The structure of the city should be improved and a special evacuation plan should be formulated. In case of emergency in the future, at least most people can escape."

At that time, all countries were very busy with post-war reconstruction. Compared with fighting for the land of Alterac, compared with fighting for the right to speak in the alliance's military, this resolution unanimously passed by the alliance's countries was just a resolution that the alliance had over the years. One of more than 100 agreements reached.

While Duke was in office, he lobbied for an exercise every summer.

In the first three or four years after Duke disappeared, various countries held evacuation drills. As the peace lasted for a long time, the powerful people in various countries became lazy.

As a result, after ten years, only the three kings of Stormwind City, Ironforge and Eagle's Nest Mountain have persisted.

However, after doing it, I have a certain impression.

After the initial panic, the citizens of Lordaeron, especially those who had lived there for more than ten years, suddenly woke up.

yes!

We have done exercises!

Just follow the drill.

People began to try hard to remember the content of the exercise. People all have a herd mentality. When the first person followed the drill and fled towards the south of the city in the direction indicated by the flaming arrow, more people immediately followed.

Citizens were fleeing, but the killings continued.

No one has ever thought that well-trained soldiers cannot stop the Scourge, nor can armed city guards, nor can gladiators and gladiator goons in the arena.

What blocked the Scourge Legion was... the Marcus Chamber of Commerce.

It is strange that the Marcus Chamber of Commerce, under the leadership of business master Ilucia Barov, has opened a total of thirty-six branches in the wealthy city of Lordaeron. The business involves more than a dozen fields, and there is only one. The real main business is wine.

Collect wheat grown in the rich land of Lordaeron, brew it into various kinds of rice wine, and then sell it.

The magic is here.

After the initial panic, almost every store owner suddenly shouted.

"Why panic!? When the monster comes, just follow the plan! Don't forget how the Chamber of Commerce trains you on weekdays!"

The caps of bottles of spirits were opened and quickly stuffed into the dry white cloth strips that had been prepared. Then boxes of such spirits were pushed to various traffic arteries by the workers of the Chamber of Commerce, and they were waiting with the guards of the Chamber of Commerce.

When he saw the undead rushing towards him, he immediately lit the cloth with a torch and threw the wine bottle with the cloth on fire.

"Ping Pong!" There was a crisp sound, and an area of ​​​​the boss immediately fell into a sea of ​​fire.

Fire is the only way to deal with undead creatures.

Under the fierce flames, the advancement of the Scourge Legion was immediately severely delayed.

The undead who had no sense of pain were still charging, but their skin and muscles were quickly scorched under the fierce flames. Ordinary zombies often fall down before they can reach thirty meters.

The Lordaeron city guards were stunned when they saw this scene.

right! This is the specialty of Marcus Chamber of Commerce - Molotov cocktail.

Referred to as home-made incendiary bombs!
