Necromancer in another world

Chapter 1064 Don't look at me like that

Utgarde Castle stands on the banks of Lake Cordus in the Howling Fjords.

This castle has a huge and dauntingly tall city wall. The city wall is built of blocks of stones as high as two people. It is not an exaggeration to describe Utgarde Castle as impregnable.

For many years, people have believed that Utgarde Castle is an abandoned castle. Because its entrance is buried deep in the ground, it is extremely difficult to find, and not many people are interested in it.Even those who occasionally want to go inside to find out will quickly disappear.

It is speculated that these people either died at the hands of some kind of monster in Utgarde Castle, or lost their way in the castle, couldn't find the way out, and finally died inside.

There are a lot of people missing in Utgarde Castle. The disappearance of these people endows Utgarde Castle with a mysterious atmosphere, but this kind of place is not liked by most people, so Fewer and fewer people pay attention to it, and finally it is selectively forgotten by people.

However, in recent times, Utgarde Castle has changed.

There seemed to be some signs of life in this forgotten and desolate castle. Someone found a sound in the castle, which seemed to be the roar of some kind of creature, or the conversation of intelligent life. To humanoids operating around the castle.

The emergence of various rumors reminds people of this place, and Utgarde Castle is attracting more and more people's attention to itself.

Saurfang paced back and forth in his tent, the orc commander was extremely restless.

Not long ago, there was news from Orgrimmar, and it was this news that made Saurfang's bad mood worse, because Thrall asked him to provide a resting place for the Alliance Expeditionary Force led by Sarah. Stronghold, and this stronghold is no other place, it is the mysterious Utgarde Castle.

Saurfang has a deep understanding of the dangers of Utgarde Castle. As early as when he came to the mainland of Northrend and established a camp in the Howling Fjord, Saurfang set up this castle in the Howling Fjord. The idea of ​​a castle in the center.

In the strange place of Northrend, Saurfang took every step carefully. Even though it was rumored that Utgarde Castle was an abandoned and deserted castle, he still did not act recklessly, but dispatched elite troops first. Scouts scout.

It was this cautious attitude that prevented the loss of the Horde expeditionary force, because Saurfang was surprised to find that none of the scouts he sent came back alive.

After waiting for ten days without receiving any news, Saurfang immediately paid [-] points of attention to Udgart Castle. You must know that the scouts he sent not only included orc stalkers, but also several of them were quite powerful. Forsaken Sentinels.It stands to reason that with the strength of these people, even if they go deep into Stormwind City, one or two of them can come back alive, but after they entered Utgarde Castle, there was no news of them. Isn't such an anomaly worthy of Saurfang's attention? ?

Utgarde Castle is not as simple as it seems.

After sacrificing a group of scouts, Saurfang made such a judgment. Utgarde, which stands on the shore of Lake Cordus, looks barren, but in fact there are dangers that outsiders can't imagine.

In order not to damage the military strength of the tribe, Saurfang decided not to attack Utgarde for the time being, and wait until the warriors of the tribe adapted to the cold weather of Northrend before making plans.

However, just when he gave up, Thrall sent him to attack Utgarde Castle.

Not to mention, what Saurfang couldn't understand was that the reason for attacking Udgart Castle was to help the Alliance Expeditionary Force, which was the allied army against the Lich King, gain a foothold.

Saurfang couldn't figure out why Thrall would issue such an order, and he objected, but after Thrall told him a series of recent events and told him in detail the situation facing the orcs, Saurfang Er was silent.

He never expected that the situation would change like this after he led the Northern Expedition.

Saurfang didn't blame Rexxar from the bottom of his heart, the reason why the latter did what he did was for the benefit of the orcs, if it wasn't for Leo's intervention, the situation would definitely not be what it is now, to blame can only be blamed on Leo, this hateful human Warlocks ruin everything.

We don't know what's waiting for us in Utgarde Castle, so the damage caused by attacking there is incalculable.

Saurfang was very reconciled, he was unwilling to let the soldiers of the tribe make such sacrifices, why didn't the alliance army want to get the foothold, why didn't they take it themselves, why should the soldiers of our tribe bleed for it?

There is a saying that the situation is stronger than people. No matter how willing Saurfang is, he still has to accept Thrall's orders. Human beings are in the right now, and the orcs under the name of the division cannot get the slightest help. The flames of war are really burning. Come on, their chances of winning are too small.

It is not difficult for troops to attack Utgarde Castle. Saurfang believes that his soldiers, as long as they are willing to spend their money and do not hesitate to damage them, no matter what is in his castle, they are all the ghosts of the tribal soldiers.

The problem is how to hand over Utgarde Castle to the Alliance after it is captured.

Saurfang believed that if he could not come up with a reason to convince the soldiers, mutiny would be inevitable.

Having said that, I have to mention Leo, the butterfly who fanned the hurricane of history.

Since Saurfang did not have a remarkable performance in the War of Quicksand as in the original history, his prestige has not reached the height that countless tribal warriors look up to, and his influence is limited to the orcs.

The Horde Expeditionary Army was not composed of orcs. There were also Forsaken of Sylvanas, Darkspear trolls of Vol'jin and other races in it. Once Saurfang didn't give a reasonable explanation, the trolls and the were The Forgotten will not buy him.

However, how would Saurfang explain it?
Do you tell them that because of the orcs, the Horde can only agree to the alliance's conditions, and after taking Udgart Castle, they will obediently offer it with both hands?

What a joke!
Saurfang dared to bet that if he really said that, the Horde Expeditionary Force would fight without the Scourge and Alliance troops doing anything.

The alliance's proposal of this condition is obviously a malicious intention. If it is not handled properly, the Horde Expeditionary Army will collapse, and even the entire Horde camp will have cracks. Even if it is handled well, they can get a strong castle without a single soldier. .

Guessing the alliance's thoughts clearly, Saurfang couldn't help cursing: "The dog thief of the alliance is really treacherous."

Scolding is scolding, and unhappiness is unhappiness. You still have to do what you have to do, and you still have to face the problems you have to face.

Saurfang frowned, what should he do?
"Now the orcs must be worrying about how to solve the problems they have to face. For this, let's drink."

There was a lot of laughter in the Stormwind Fortress, and the crisis in the Overwatch Castle was successfully resolved. Not only that, after a series of fights, the orc's plot not only failed, but also suffered a lot of losses.

The nobles of the Stormwind Kingdom are the most excited people here. The strength of the kingdom has not been damaged, but the land it controls has expanded. The Swamp of Sorrows is indeed dirty. The nobles have no interest in going there, but they are interested in the output of the Swamp of Sorrows. But very interested.

Many nobles have even discussed how to obtain benefits from the Swamp of Sorrows, how to add some special products of the Swamp of Sorrows to their own luxury goods... Wait, this scene made Leo frown.

Compared with Arathor, the lives of nobles in the Stormwind Kingdom are too rotten. It is true that many of them have abilities, such as the Grand Duke Bolvar, but there are also a lot of parasites under various glamorous appearances. Aristocrats who know how to live, dream and die, and spend all their time enjoying themselves, are parasites in the kingdom.

Scarlett standing beside Leo felt the change in Leo's mood, she quietly took Laleo's hand, with a hint of helplessness in her eyes.

Even under the sun there will be shadows, any kingdom will have parasite-like nobles, this is unavoidable, and it cannot be eradicated, and even paladins who believe in the Holy Light can only choose to compromise on this.

"Leo, these people..."

Scarlett didn't know how to continue when she said this. The soldiers in front risked their lives and fought desperately to protect every human being, but these parasites were intoxicated in the rear. It was chilling to think about.

Leo patted Scarlett's hand, and said softly: "Don't worry, I'm fine. I don't bother to care about these guys at all, it's not worth being upset by them."

"Hey Leo, hello."

Anduin next to Scarlet saw that he was being ignored, so he couldn't help but greeted him loudly. Anyway, this is also Stormwind Fortress, and he, Anduin, is also the owner of this place. How can you ignore me like this? It hurts my self-esteem. .

Leo touched Anduin's head from behind, and after messing up the Prince of Stormwind's hairstyle, he said with a satisfied face, "So it's little Prince Anduin, why are you here?"

Anduin rolled his eyes, this is his home, why can't he come, Leo's question is so strange and annoying.

"Leo, I know you don't like these people, and to be honest, neither do I."

The people Anduin was talking about were those parasites who were dreaming of life and death. They were the cancer of the kingdom. As a prince, he had nothing to do with these guys. Thinking about it made people suffocate.

The relationship between the nobles is intricate, and often a humble small noble’s network spreads all over the entire kingdom, and if one is moved, it will lead to a nest. Even with Varian’s strength, he dare not delve into many things.

"The king of the kingdom can't do everything as he wants." Leo shrugged, he suddenly bent down, and whispered in Anduin's ear, "Even if you are a prince, you can't get rid of these parasites, not because You and Varian are incapable, but because you are also a member of the aristocracy of the Stormwind Kingdom. If, I mean, if, the kingdom cannot clean itself up, what about using powerful external forces?"

What do you mean?
Anduin looked at Leo with a bit of shock on his face. The external force Leo mentioned could not be himself. This guy has formed a strong relationship with the nobles of the Stormwind Kingdom, and he is already full of wings. Is he taking revenge?
Leo raised his index finger and shook it left and right: "Don't look at me that way, I know what you're thinking, little Anduin, you have to believe, I'm a pacifist."
