"Ged... Ged... Ged..."
It was almost evening, and hundreds of death horses lined up in front of a huge blue castle gate. The guards on the top of the city looked down and shouted a few words. Turning and twisting, the suspension bridge descended from above and directly crossed the wide moat. The heavy city gate slowly opened, and a group of people got off their horses and walked into the city slowly.
Plague City, a huge city located in the south of Torata District, is also the main city of Plague Legion.
A wide and dark corridor, Jibin walked slowly alone, his hands were full of sweat at the moment, and after a while, Jibin walked to the end of the corridor, and there was a huge vermilion door facing him. The lock on the door is like two devil's eyes, under the dim light, it looks gloomy and weird.
When he came to the gate, Jibin's heart beat up in a "bang-bang-" unsatisfactory. He took a deep breath, forced himself to suppress the fear in his heart, and reached out to knock on the door, but the hand hadn't As soon as it touched the door, a vigorous and powerful voice came from inside.
"come in!"
"Father… "
Gibin, who opened the door and walked to his father's study room, was a little uneasy. He yelled nervously, and then stood aside, raising his head secretly to see his father's expression.
In the darkness, a pale square face and a tall and strong body slowly emerged, one head taller than Gibin who was an undead warrior. He was wearing a purple nightgown, and his thick black hair Two small horns stick out, and two thick canine teeth are exposed in the slightly upturned mouth. He is Gibin's father, the head of the Plague Legion, and Saruman the Dreadlord. At this moment, his face is full of majesty. , The intimidating momentum was so oppressive that Gibin didn't dare to breathe.
"You're back?"
Saruman looked Jibin up and down, and said with a pleasant face, he pulled the chair beside the desk and sat down.
"Yes, Father..."
Jibin looked at his father's face and felt relieved a little. He politely picked up the wine on the desk, poured a glass, put it in front of his father, and said in a low voice, "Father, are you looking for me?"
"Um!"
Saruman nodded slowly, picked up his wine glass, and took a sip, "You don't want to go to the front line for a while!"
"what?"
Hearing this, Ji Bin's heart suddenly sank. What he was most worried about really happened. His father wanted to deprive him of his military power, but the next sentence made him feel relieved, "Because the Scourge is about to retreat. !"
"So it's not to deprive me of my military power!"
Gibin thought with lingering fear that on the main plane, no military power means no status.
"The Scourge is about to retreat? How is it possible?"
Ji Bin was even more shocked. In order to eliminate the Plague Legion, the Scourge Legion had been preparing for a long time, and then marched south, marching forward with great success, defeating the Plague Legion. Now that the situation is good, they will suddenly retreat
Even if Gibin was killed, he still wouldn't believe it, but his father couldn't help but not believe it when he said it. He thought about it, and said pleasantly, "Could it be... Could it be Lord Saul who made the move?"
Sol is the leader of the Burning Legion on the main plane of hell, one of the most powerful forces in hell. Thanks to the help of the Burning Legion for many years, the Plague Legion was not wiped out by the Scourge Legion. Undead, but also half demon blood, which is one of the reasons Thor is willing to help him.
"no… "
Saruman smiled, stood up holding the wine glass, and left the desk, Gibin quickly followed, "Although I have thought about asking Sir Saul to help, this time the situation is a little different..."
Saruman slowly approached a long sofa in the study, sat down in a more comfortable posture, and smiled at Jibin, with a relaxed look on his face, it could be seen that he was in a good mood.
Saruman smiled, "Jibin, do you still remember the Forgotten City?"
"Remember, what's the matter?" Gibin didn't react for a moment.
"It is now occupied by a group of undead!"
"What?" Ji Bin was shocked when he heard this, "Wait... wait... isn't the Forgotten City... occupied by a group of ferocious orcs? Why... how could it be undead?"
"That's why they are retreating now!" Saruman said with a smile, "Now we are no longer the main target of the Scourge!"
"I can't believe it..." Jibin opened his eyes wide, with an expression of disbelief on his face, "The undead actually drove the orcs away, my lord father, there is no other conspiracy in this, right?"
"No..." Saruman tilted his head and thought for a while, and said, "They took back the Forgotten City from the orcs. Although I don't know how they did it, it's really quite remarkable..."
"But... is this the reason for their retreat? It's just because a group of undead have occupied the Forgotten City..." Gibin still didn't understand.
"Of course not..." Saruman smiled, "The most important thing is that this undead force also calls themselves the Scourge, and their leader is also called the Lich King... Hehe, this is very interesting..."
"The Lich King?"
Jibin was taken aback. At this moment, he thought of Nicole whom he met in Shenandoah Continent, and his heart tightened. Could it be that the Scepter of Calamity...
"The 'Scourge' defeated the orcs and occupied the Forgotten City, and then continued to expand in all directions, gathering forces from all sides. Hehe, Fismarck can't sit still..."
Saruman picked up his wine glass and smiled, pointing to Jibin, "Hehe, I think he'll be busy for a while, and it's time for us to make some preparations..."
…
The sky is getting dark, and in a backlit valley, a large number of undead creatures are active, walking corpses walking slowly, ghouls with huge flowers, ugly as a lump of meat, and coming here, As if entering the eerie world of death, only when you see three or five undead warriors sitting around and chatting from time to time can you feel a little bit of anger.
This is the temporary camp of the Scourge.
"Lord Adele..."
"Lord Adele..."
Adele walked back to her tent in the camp angrily. The undead greeted her along the way, but she ignored her. She opened the curtain door of the huge marching tent, walked in, picked up the The kettle "gudong... gudong..." took a few big mouthfuls of water, and then fell heavily.
At this moment, Adele just received the order to withdraw the troops, but she couldn't figure it out, how could there be such a stupid order in such a good situation now, could it be that the preparation for the Southern Expedition for many years was so wasted
If the guy who knew the order was not the dean of the Royal Legion Academy of the Scourge and the confidant of Tito, the commander of the Southern Expedition, Adele swore that she would draw her sword and execute him as a spy.
But that guy is not, the guy who sent the order is also a student of the Royal Military Academy of the Scourge, and he is considered Adele's senior. What he brought is exactly the warrant signed by Commander-in-Chief Tito himself:
"The Southern Expedition Army retreats immediately, the commander and the military palace above the regiment return to the Icecrown Fortress to stand by!"
Now Adele had nothing to say, so she could only stay in her barracks and sulk.
After Adele took a few deep breaths, she slowly calmed down. She knew that there was a reason for the Commander-in-Chief to do this.
Over the years, the Scourge Legion has been victorious, successfully defeated the Plague Legion's arrogance for independence, and regained most of the lost ground. The soldiers pointed directly at the Torata area, and they were about to enter the Plague City, but in this At a critical point, Master Tito announced his withdrawal, which was unacceptable to all the undead soldiers who went out. Adele has not announced this order to her Death Knights, and she knows that once this order is announced, there will be an uproar .
"But why?"
Adele couldn't figure it out no matter what she thought.
At this moment, an undead soldier pushed in the door and saluted Adele.
"Master Adele, Master Tito wants to see you!"
