Chapter 114: Light's Wish Chapel
As expected, the Scarlet Zone of Stratholme was attacked by the Scourge. The reason why Baron Rivendell, the former leader of the Scourge in Stratholme, has never recaptured the Scarlet Zone of Stratholme is because there is no Archlich Kel'Thuzad in charge and he is afraid of the strength of the Covenant. .
Now that the archlich Kel'Thuzad is back, Baron Rivendell has no worries.
The Scarlet District of Stratholme was under siege, and word of the urgent need for reinforcements quickly reached Tyr.
Alexandros Mograine, the high lord of the Scarlet Crusade, immediately organized his army at the hands of Tyr, preparing to go north again to aid Stratholme.
Fairbanks, Alexandros Mograine's advisor and friend, helped hold the artifact Ashbringer while Alexandros put on his armor.
At this moment, General Alfred hurried over and said, "High Lord, Fairbanks, I also know the news about Stratholme asking for help. This time, let us go together to save Dathrohan." ”
"Alfred, the Hand of Tyr still needs you. Fairbanks and I are enough." The Hand of Tyr has just experienced a crisis and needs a strong person to take charge. The most suitable person is naturally Alfred, the general of the Scarlet Crusade, has a ninth-level strength, as well as rich experience and battlefield experience.
Alfred hesitated to speak. He and High Lord Alexandros had not fought side by side for a long time, let alone support the Grand Crusader Saidan Dathrohan.
The two have known each other for more than 20 years. The High Lord Alexandros naturally saw what General Alfred was thinking, so he comforted him by saying, "Don't worry, Alfred. When we completely eliminate the Scourge, then we will These old brothers will go back to Nanhai Town. I think King Jialin and Princess Jialiya will do the same."
"May the Holy Light be with you, High Lord." General Alfred sent his sincere blessings.
In this way, the Scarlet Crusade Lord Alexandros, who had just solved the siege of Tyr's Hand, once again went north to support the Stratholme Scarlet Zone.
However, because the new recruits of the Scarlet Crusaders at the Hand of Tyr were not yet fully trained, Lord Alexandros left behind 5,000 elite Scarlet Crusaders, and he only led the remaining 5,000 Scarlet Crusaders north to support Stratholme Scarlet Crusaders. district.
High Lord Alexandros did not choose to follow the main road once established by the Kingdom of Lordaeron in the Eastern Plaguelands. Instead, he chose to go vertically north, first to the Holy Light's Hope Chapel.
The Holy Light's Hope Chapel was originally just an ordinary chapel in the Eastern Plaguelands. Its size was completely incomparable to the Alonsos Cathedral in Stratholme.
However, because of the Paladin Maxwell, in order to prevent the Scourge from resurrecting the remains of the Silver Hand Paladins who died in the battle, he secretly worked with a group of Paladins to bury the remains of these Holy Light Warriors in the Holy Light's Hope Chapel. Below, the Light's Hope Chapel was expanded into a stronghold against the Scourge.
When the Scarlet Crusade expanded to the Eastern Plaguelands, Maxwell of the Holy Light's Hope Chapel decisively joined the Scarlet Crusade led by High Lord Alexandros, which also made the Holy Light's Hope Chapel It became one of the strongholds of the Scarlet Crusade.
The Hand of Tyr was attacked by the main force of the Scourge of Naxxramas brought by the archlich Kel'Thuzad, and the Scarlet Zone of Stratholme was attacked by the death knight Baron Rivendell.
The Holy Light's Hope Chapel was attacked by the 50,000 undead Scourge Legion led by the Lich Kilkeson.
Not used in the Hand of Tyr and the Scarlet Zone of Stratholme, the only troops in the Holy Light's Hope Chapel are the two thousand troops led by Maxwell.
Fifty thousand versus two thousand, the Scourge Legion had an overwhelming advantage.
"Warriors, we must not allow the Scourge to taint the heroic souls resting under the Light's Hope Chapel!" Baron Maxwell commanded the warriors of the Light's Hope Chapel to engage in a fierce battle with the Scourge.
The walls and rainproof facilities of the Holy Light's Hope Chapel are extremely dilapidated. After all, they were built later, and the resources are currently insufficient.
However, the morale of these warriors who were chosen to voluntarily protect the heroic spirits was extremely high, and they used their lives to protect those sleeping heroic spirits.
However, the balance of the battlefield is still tilted towards the Scourge Legion. The numerical gap between the two sides is too huge, and it is difficult to make up for it by relying on morale.
So Baron Maxwell decided to capture the thief first and capture the king first, and first deal with the lich Kilcaisen, so that the Scourge army would lose its commander, so that they could win.
After making the decision, Baron Maxwell handed over the command to Eligor Dawnbringer, and then led a raid team himself, deciding to kill the lich Kilcaisen directly.
Perhaps because the offensive of the Holy Light's Hope Chapel was too smooth, Lich Kilkeisen lost his guard. He floated his body and directly approached the wall of the Holy Light's Hope Chapel, and then loudly declared: "Surrender, you will not do anything." No chance of winning!”
"We will never surrender, Lich, your doom has come." Baron Maxwell naturally would not miss this opportunity, and directly led the team from the side to attack the Lich Kilcaisen.
As the highest-level unit of the Scourge Legion, the requirements for the resurrection of a lich are extremely demanding. They must be a powerful mage or have outstanding mage talents. Basically, every lich has an eighth-level to ninth-level magician. strength.
The lich Kilcaisen was sent to attack the Holy Light's Hope Chapel, so he naturally had ninth-level strength.
So, facing Baron Maxwell's attack, the lich Kirkason did not dodge at all, and decided to kill Baron Maxwell first to hit the morale of Light's Hope Chapel.
Just as the two were fighting, fierce shouts and killings came from the rear of the Scourge army, and a powerful holy light energy emerged.
Although he had not seen who was coming, Baron Maxwell had already seen the flag of the Scarlet Crusade, so he shouted happily, "It's the reinforcements of the Scarlet Crusade! Brothers, annihilate the Scourge!"
Baron Maxwell and Erigor Dawnbringer directly led the warriors of Light's Hope Chapel to rush out of the fortifications of Light's Hope Chapel and encircle the Scourge.
The power of the Ashbringer was too restraining for the undead of the Scourge. The power of the sword of the great lord Alexandros made the Scourge, which was far more numerous than them, collapse at the touch of a button like a chicken and a dog.
The lich Kirkason also died at the hands of Baron Maxwell and Eligor Dawnbringer.
"Maxwell, you did a good job." After defeating the Scourge, Lord Alexandros praised Baron Maxwell. It was not easy to hold out for so long with only two thousand soldiers.
