Chapter 266 The Undercity Is Fallen
Latest website: "Let's go quickly. Tarren Mill has probably fallen. Leave the rear mission to me." The senior executive officer was very determined.
The old knight fought with her for a while. Seeing that she was determined to die, he immediately stopped trying to persuade her and cooperated with the wither to organize the civilians to retreat into the tunnel.
The Forgotten are not fools either. Seeing that there is a way to survive here, no one is willing to fight to the death, so they rush towards the secret passage like a swarm of swarms.
Order no longer existed, and more and more civilians on the defense line knew about the existence of the secret passage. They threw away their weapons and tried to escape for their lives. No matter how hard they tried to organize people to resist, the Blighters couldn't, and the Alchemy Zone's defense line collapsed completely.
The remaining 30,000 Forsaken civilians were crowded into the Banshee King's palace, which was usually quite spacious. Behind them were human soldiers, and in front was a narrow tunnel. They were begging to be let go first, wither and old knights. Their prestige was simply unable to cope with the current situation. The two could only turn around and wave their swords at their own clansmen. After frightening the chaotic civilians, they led the only remaining senior talents in the clan into the tunnel.
The High Archon lived up to her oath to the Banshee Queen and fought to the death even though one of her arms was cut off.
Old Fording, who was finally rushed to the scene, smashed his head with a hammer and returned to the kingdom of the dead as he wished.
"And there's a tunnel?!"
Vanessa was stunned when she heard the news. When she entered the Undercity, the battle was basically over.
Undercity's underground pipelines extend in all directions, and there are probably Forgotten people hiding in the corners of the city. However, more than 50,000 Forgotten people died in this battle alone. If you include Brill, Deathstroke Town, The Forgotten Ones who were killed in the areas of Tarren Mill and Serbocher, the number of this group has been reduced by two-thirds.
Although she has never participated in the battle, some soldiers from the Western Wilderness still saw the old knight Grian Stroman. Their expressions were extremely tangled. Their once respected superior had turned into a death knight. This was a big blow to them. Considered small.
Vanessa was also a little surprised. She never expected that the old knight would turn into a death knight, and it seemed that he was quite popular with Sylvanas.
What a strange fate.
She quickly turned her thoughts to other places. In this battle, the right time, place, and people were used to the extreme. Our own casualties were very small, while the losses of the Forgotten were almost the same as the genocide.
Less than a thousand people were taken away by the wither and the old knight, and the rest all died in the Undercity.
Although Sylvanas is still leading an elite army to fight outside, these civilians are also indispensable and valuable assets to a group. Without tailors, leatherworkers, blacksmiths, and experienced professional trainers, relying solely on Soldiers cannot sustain the long-term development of a force.
The corpses of a large number of forgotten people were dragged outside the royal capital ruins and piled up in a dense pile.
Cutting through the mess with a quick knife, Vanessa directly ordered, burn!
Many weapons used by the Forgotten have also been eroded by the power of death. These weapons can no longer be used and are simply thrown into the furnace for remaking.
While cleaning up the remaining Forsaken in the city, Vanessa was ready to continue fighting. At the same time, Vanessa also sent General Abidis to lead three thousand soldiers to attack the largest Forgotten stronghold outside the Undercity, Bray. Er Town, then clear out several large estates and Agamand Mill along the way, and finally go south to attack Deathstroke Town and completely occupy the West Tirisfal Glades.
This area is vast, and there are not too many forgotten people, but not too few.
Kill one and lose one.
A dull sound of "bang bang" sounded in front of the Palace of Lordaeron. Vanessa, Old Fording, and Jaina pushed open the palace door and walked in with a heavy heart.
A tall dome, beautifully carved pillars around it, and a throne that was neither simple nor luxurious appeared in front of the three of them.
Time seems to have frozen forever in this palace, and the pool of dark red blood in front of the throne seems to still tell people about the tragedy that happened here.
The room was extremely dark, even with the door open, the light still seemed so heavy.
Whether it was Arthas or later Varimathras or Sylvanas, they all sealed up this palace. The royal capital was in dilapidated condition, but only this place was still preserved. Even after five years, The old atmosphere here seems to still allow people to see many illusions of the past.
"Oh, let's go." The heavy atmosphere at the scene made Vanessa no longer interested in continuing to read. The specific how to deal with this should wait until Calia goes north.
"Your Highness, our battle is not over yet. The Banshee King will not give up the Undercity." Old Fording reminded her.
Vanessa also understands Sylvanas's character. It is impossible for her to suffer this humiliation, and the other party will definitely use more radical methods to retaliate.
"I have sent my men to investigate, and we must continue to prepare for battle."
...
The Blighter and the Old Knight on the other side struggled to escape the human pursuit in the mountains, and he contacted the Banshee King again.
The Banshee King mobilized quickly and dispatched troops faster than humans, but she lacked siege weapons such as dragons, artillery and tanks. Stratholme was a military fortress heavily guarded by the undead army. When Sender arrived, the death knight Baron Devonriel and 10,000 undead soldiers were left to garrison.
The Forgotten attacked hard for three consecutive days and had to change their strategy.
Varimathras stormed the main entrance with 10,000 people, made a lot of sacrifices, and attracted the attention of the undead army. Sylvanas led the remaining 15,000 people through the side entrance of Stratholme.
As a banshee, Baroness Anastarisa immediately chose to surrender. She was a banshee anyway, so there was no problem in joining the Banshee King now.
The spider demon Nerubunkan did not understand the situation at all, and stupidly came out to meet the enemy, but was nailed to the outer wall of the ziggurat by Sylvanas with an arrow. UU Reading www.uukanshu.net
The pale Malechi is very bachelor. This guy is a member of the Cult of the Curse. He is not an undead, he is still a human. This guy is greedy for life and afraid of death. Faced with Sylvanas' sharp arrows, he surrendered without much hesitation. .
Mayor Barthras died in the battle, and Lumsden, the giant Abomination Swallower, died in the battle.
Finally, Sylvanas led people to break through the council hall and kill the death knight Baron Devonriel, the general stationed by the Lich King in Stratholme.
Stratholme was captured, and all the undead in the city were killed. The Forsaken occupied this military fortress, but their own losses were not small. Three thousand soldiers died in the battle, and various military supplies were also lost. Quite a few, but Stratholme was very poor, so it was very difficult to replenish it.
At this moment, the wither's magic communication sounded, and humans were attacking the Undercity.
Before the Banshee Queen could understand the meaning behind this incident, less than an hour later, the Wither One reported to his mistress again that the Undercity had been lost!
