Regan frowned slightly when he heard this. Although he did not think that the other party would come to provoke him at this time, but considering that this place is only a few miles away from the Tomb of the Stars, it is difficult to say what this group of tribal cavalry is holding.
such intention
If it's just routine reconnaissance, it's fine, but what I'm afraid of is a group of daredevils who don't look at the map: if these guys inadvertently break into the defensive identification zone of the Elf Sentinels, what awaits them will only be the fate of becoming a hornet's nest.
"Sir, do you need to send someone to inform Master Lulan?" Herod asked from the side.
"No need," Reagan waved his hand, "Maybe it's just a patrol crossing the border. It's best not to cause unnecessary conflicts."
As he said that, he took the reins of the war horse from Sam's hand and jumped on it, "You guys stay where you are, I'll go over first to see what they are about!"
The black dragon colt Lana hissed loudly and jumped out like lightning. She was a hundred yards away in an instant and faced the tribal cavalry who gradually came into view.
"Listen to the tribal soldiers in front! You have entered the alliance's defense zone! To avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, please leave quickly!" When he was only a stone's throw away from the opponent, Regan grabbed the reins and manipulated
He shouted loudly, and the thunderous sound resounded throughout the fields, causing the running wolf cavalry to slow down.
"I mean, boy Regen, is this how you welcome your friends?" A huge warg emerged from the crowd, and the orc knight on it was wearing a set of crimson armor, although he was covered by a fully enclosed helmet.
appearance, but Regan still recognized the owner of the voice—it was Roxas Saurfang, whom he had not seen for several months.
The orc jumped off the warg, threw his helmet to the guards behind him, and walked over with a loud laugh: "The patrolling boys said that a group of unruly masters came from the Alliance, and I knew it was you guys as soon as I guessed it.
!”
"What's the matter, you heard that you're not easy to mess with, so you have to come up to provoke me?" Regen smiled and gave the orc a fierce bear hug, "I was just thinking about how to drive you back, but I didn't expect it.
It’s you! Tell me, what’s it like to be the warlord now?”
"Hey, don't mention it!" Roxas gestured to the soldiers behind him, telling them to rest where they were, "I thought I could flex my muscles here, but in the end, I ended up working as a grain transport officer.
...That guy from Agma actually called it 'necessary experience', saying that a soldier must be able to go to the front line and be able to swing a big spoon."
The orc had a depressed look on his face, obviously he was extremely uncomfortable during this period of time, "That guy Deno can go to the Gate of Scourge, but I have to break holes and catch spiders in this place where birds don't poop. Tell me, this
What the hell is that?"
"I think what your Agma lord said makes sense," Regen said without expressing sympathy for Roxas, shrugging. "Although seizing the Gate of Scourge is of great significance, you are also obliged to ensure friendly forces.
Don't let the enemy explode you from behind... After all, Anub'arak's army of spider demons is not a bad thing."
Roxas rolled his eyes at the knight: "It doesn't hurt to stand and talk! You can go to the Gate of Scourge and kill people, but my ax hasn't seen blood for half a month... How could you bear it if it were you?"
"Oh, you are wrong, my friend," Regan shook his finger, "Although I also want to take down the Gate of Scourge as soon as possible, but compared to confronting the Lich King head-on, I have a better goal.
Important matters need to be dealt with..." After a moment of silence, he continued, "At the same time, this is also my promise to an old friend who has passed away."
"What are you talking about?" Roxas was puzzled at first, but then he suddenly said "Oh" and stopped talking.
Obviously, the old friend Regan was talking about was Taylan Fording, who had led him on the road to becoming a knight.
Many years have passed since the trauma of Hearthglen, but in Regan's heart, it is still an unbreakable shackles: until Islion's head is taken off for one day, he will not be able to truly be freed. And for Tyran's guilt,
It will still be with him all his life until he enters the grave
Therefore, he must settle here
"Okay, if you decide to kill that lunatic who doesn't know right from wrong, count me in!" Roxas patted Regan on the shoulder and said roughly, "Although I have never met Tyran, from Tilly
Mr. Ao and you can tell that he must be a brave and good young man who values honor."
"Thank you, Locke." Regan smiled at the orc's kindness. Although he didn't intend to involve too many people in his personal grudges, Roxas and he were considered old friends who had a life-long friendship, so there was no need to avoid it.
What
It has now been more than a year since the Scarlet Crusade crossed the sea and headed north. During this period, the Red Army, which was renamed the Scarlet Vanguard, established two larger bases in Northrend: New Hearthglen and Vanguard Port.
New Hearthglen, located in the southeast of Dragonblight, is personally commanded by the Scarlet General Bridget Abedis. Most of its garrison troops are from the remnants of Tirisfal and the Hearthglen Front under Isenlion.
It is said that the Scarlet Vanguard's massive Northern Expedition was inspired by the "apocalypse", and General Abedis also claimed that he dreamed of the guidance of the Holy Light - only by going to Northrend can the Scarlet Crusade achieve final salvation.
Regardless of whether this omen is true or not, the situation of the Scarlet Vanguard Army has become increasingly difficult day by day since they left the Plague Land.
The first is the Scourge army from the north
Although most of the natural disasters in Dragonblight are contained in the Gate of Scourge, there are also a lot of scattered undead wandering around. They often organize in small groups and constantly harass the vanguard camp. Once the other party reacts, they will flee, leaving the Crusaders
Feeling extremely troubled, Abidis launched several clearing operations, but with little effect.
The other is the pressure from the Forsaken: Surrounding New Hearthglen, the Hands of Vengeance have established their forward base in Dragonblight - the Town of Malice. Originally, the undead did not intend to provoke this group of bloody madmen. After all, Sylva
Nas's target is the Lich King at the top of the Ice Peak, and he has no interest in dealing with these crazy crusaders.
But I never thought that tigers are harmless to people, but tigers can hurt people's hearts. The bloody warriors can't tell the difference between natural disasters and forgotten people. In their eyes, they are just a group of stinky meat that should be purified.
Malice Town has been targeted by the vanguard many times and suffered extremely serious losses.
After learning about this, Sylvanas, who was sitting in Vengeance Port, was furious. She led the elite Defiler Guard from Howling Fjord to Malice Town. After several overwhelming victories, she reversed the Vanguard Army's opposition in one fell swoop.
The overwhelming superiority of the Forsaken and led the army to surround New Hearthglen
Unwilling to be trapped by the traffic to the east, the vanguard army also organized several large-scale counterattacks, but they were quickly defeated in the face of the powerful strength of the Dark Queen, and in the end they could only return to New Hearthglen to hold on.
But similarly, Sylvanas had nothing to do with the vanguard army trapped in the fortified city. The opponent had experienced several disastrous defeats, and its strength was much less than before. However, under the extremely fanatical belief in revenge, Abidis led the remaining survivors.
The bloody army was determined to resist, posing considerable obstacles to the attack of the Hand of Vengeance.
"So, do you think Isorien is still alive?" Roxas asked in a deep voice on the warg. Beside him and Regen were a whole team of elite tribal wolf cavalry, as well as Sophie, Evelin and
As for Herod and Regan, Maiev and others asked him to go to the Tomb of Stars to gather troops, and then go to the Late Winter Fortress to report to Havers.
"Of course, I have always believed in my intuition," Regen said. "Essilien is a madman, but a cunning madman. He will never lose his life in an uncertain battle, so don't doubt his life-saving
With his skill, even if the entire Scarlet Legion is destroyed, I'm afraid that old fox can still escape alive."
Roxas sniffed: "This kind of person can also be the Scarlet Prosecutor? It's incredible..."
"In that case, do you think we can kill Isorien alone?" Evelin on the side interjected, "A person who is so afraid of death will probably have to bring a legion of guards with him wherever he goes."
"Don't get me wrong, he is not afraid of death, he is just trying to preserve all his strength to fulfill his twisted desire for revenge." Regen shook his head and said, "No one in the Scarlet Crusade is afraid of death...
Speaking of which, perhaps dying in battle is their greatest honor."
"This is somewhat similar to us orcs..." Roxas muttered.
"In fact, a long time ago, Isenlien's personality was not distorted to this point," Regen said leisurely. "Speaking of his changes, I am afraid it is still related to many setbacks and betrayal by close relatives..."
As a high-ranking priest of Lordaeron, Isenlien was originally the liaison of the Knights of the Silver Hand. He and the old General Abedis (Bridget Abedis's father) assisted the Holy Lightbringer.
Uther is responsible for baptism and basic tactical training for new members of the Knights of the Silver Hand.
After Lordaeron fell into the hands of Arthas, he and Abbendis organized new recruits to go to the battlefield and launched an attack on the undead to retake the capital. However, compared with the cruel and bloodthirsty natural disasters, they did not have much actual combat experience.
The knight recruits were undoubtedly appetizers delivered to their doorsteps - even though they were full of blood, they were still torn into pieces by the tide of undead and stuffed into their bellies indiscriminately.
Isenlien was greatly shocked after witnessing the tragedy. He and Abidis fought their way out and escaped from Shura's purgatory battlefield. Some people said that they were seriously injured in the battle and could not continue to lead the resistance. Others said that they were seriously injured in the battle and could not continue to lead the resistance.
It was said that the two of them were shocked because their plan was shattered, but no matter what, since then, Isenlien and Abidis have become a little... neurotic.
However, Isenlien, who had lost most of his troops, was not discouraged. He persuaded Abbendis to act together, summoning all available forces on the continent contaminated by natural disasters, and formed an organization with a firm belief in revenge to eliminate all visible enemies.
The undead have only one purpose: to destroy all the natural disaster forces occupying Lordaeron.
The members gathered by the Crusaders are all people whose lives were destroyed by natural disasters. Most of the members not only witnessed their loved ones being killed, but also endured the pain caused by them standing up again to assist the murderer. Therefore, Isenlien's propaganda was not wasted.
With so much effort, a considerable revenge army was gathered.
Among them, the Ashbringer Mograine, Tirion's son Tyran, and strong men such as the Soul Reaver Misudar all responded and joined the army fighting to regain the motherland.
In the early days, the Crusaders' belief in revenge was still very pure. People believed that this was a noble and just cause, and they did not dare to use any negative personal emotions to desecrate this goal. At that time, the Crusades also evolved from their establishment to
At its most powerful moment now:
Not only did they have great momentum in southern Lordaeron, they cooperated with Garithos's restoration army to drive away the natural disasters entrenched in Dalaran. At the same time, they blossomed everywhere in northern Lordaeron and recovered many outposts that had fallen into the hands of the undead.
The towers and strongholds troubled the three Dreadlords who occupied the royal city instead of Arthas at that time.
What is even more amazing is their legendary first Northern Expedition - speaking of which, the Scarlet Crusaders were even ahead of the Alliance and the Horde. As early as the twenty-first year of the Dark Portal calendar, the Scarlet Navy was defeated by Admiral Ba
Under the leadership of Leigh Westwin, he crossed the ocean and delivered the first batch of expeditionary troops to the coast of Northrend.
That expedition should be said to be the Scarlet Crusade's closest victory. After careful planning and deduction, they chose the best time for Illidan to march into Northrend - regardless of whether this was intentional or unintentional, even if the Crusaders
The higher-ups were not aware of the betrayer's actions, which also shows that they were incredibly lucky.
Under Illidan's powerful offensive, the Scourge Legion responsible for defense along the way had been swept away by Illidan and his Naga Legion and Blood Elf Legion. The Scarlet Expeditionary Force was seriously injured and easily penetrated deep into the enemy's territory without much effort.
Northrend's interior has even reached the heart of the Lich King - Icecrown Glacier.
Among the twelve heroic statues in the Scarlet Monastery Arsenal, the reasons for the death of several of them are particularly conspicuous: Omar of Stromgarde, the first general of the Scarlet Crusade, and a citizen of Stromgarde, disappeared in Icecrown Glacier;
Admiral Barley Westwin, commander of the Scarlet Crusade fleet and a citizen of Kul Tiras, disappeared on the frozen coast of Rosende;
Iron Weapon, one-armed Invar, the chief assassin of the Scarlet Crusade, a citizen of Dalaran, disappeared on the coast of Northrend
There is no doubt that this is the most glorious expedition of the Scarlet Expedition, the closest they come to victory - and at the same time, it is also the first turning point in their prosperity and decline.
The second turning point was the fall of the Ashbringer during the attack on Stratholme City.
It is no exaggeration to say that even if Isilien and Abbendis are mixed together, their influence in the hearts of warriors is never as great as Mograine's.
General Abbendis once called himself the arm of the Crusade, and called Isenlion the heart. The subordinate meaning expressed in this is self-evident. However, what he did not publicly explain is that among all the soldiers of the Scarlet Crusade,
In my heart, there is still a soul that is respected as the chosen one!
That is the Ashbringer Alessandro Mograine!
When the Ashbringer passes by, thousands of undead souls are left with only burnt ashes. In the face of the mighty holy light that is comparable to the power of heaven and earth, all evil spirits can only wait for the fate of being purified.
However, for such a spiritual figure, he did not fall under the poisonous claws of the undead, but instead died at the hands of his closest comrade and relative - his eldest son Renault Mograine.
The end of the hero, nothing more than this
No one can bear the death of a spiritual leader, especially the proud and fanatical Scarlet Crusaders.
After receiving the news of Mograine's death, the whole Crusaders felt like the earth was falling apart. Most people were sad and sobbing, while some gritted their teeth and vowed to pay for the Scourge's blood. (Reynolds hid the fact very well and put all the blame on Revan.
Baron Dale, and there is also the Grand Crusader Dathrohan to prove him)
In the chaos and sorrow, only a small number of people have not lost their rationality: Many senior officials represented by Lord Maxwell Tyrossos asked Renault why they still forced themselves into dangerous situations without any intelligence, and in order to
With Mograine's strength, there are no peak experts with more than double digits. It is impossible to kill him with a mere ambush.
The suspicion quickly turned into a quarrel. Reno, relying on the support of the Grand Crusader Dathrohan, spoke nonsense against Maxwell and ridiculed him for sitting at the rear and actually having the nerve to question the soldiers who were fighting bloody battles at the front. It was simply shameless.
While the two groups were quarreling, Abidis and Isenlien remained silent: although they also had doubts, they were afraid of offending the heavily armed Dathrohan and causing a split, so they had no choice but to help each other.
strategy
But as a result, Maxwell quit. He immediately announced his separation from the Scarlet Crusade and led some of his direct descendants to the Eastern Plaguelands.
