Chapter 499

Kel'Thuzad?
Orgrim Doomhammer?

Jiang Jie was really taken aback when he first heard the news.

He never expected that Kel'Thuzad would go to Hammerfell to the east and revive Orgrim Doomhammer!
That was a hero as famous as Lothar, and even killed Lothar in the decisive battle on Black Rock Mountain.Although it is said that he won by sneak attack, he is a legend-level powerhouse anyway. Jiang Jie has seen his strength in the chess world!

Although he was not as good as Grom, Jiang Jie would have to spend a lot of effort to take him down in a frontal battle, and it would not be that easy.Among all the fighters that Jiang Jie had fought against, only Grom was stronger than him, and no one else could match him.

Death knights are not ordinary undead. After resurrection, they gain the power to manipulate death. They are often stronger and more difficult to deal with than before.

Now that Kel'Thuzad has resurrected him, he must have resurrected other dead orcs and humans. The entire town of Hammerfell and even the entire eastern part of the Arathi Highlands will be awakened by him. All the orcs in Hammerfall must have been killed by him and resurrected as undead.

And according to the report of the Arathor cavalry before his death, the Valley of Refuge had fallen. All the Arathor cavalry fought bloody to the last moment, and none of them survived.And these dead Arathor cavalry will definitely be resurrected as undead knights.

It is roughly estimated that Kel'Thuzad has at least five thousand undead, including many elites, and the number will increase as time goes by.

It was definitely premeditated.

There is no doubt that Kel'Thuzad wanted to turn the entire Arathi Highlands into the territory of the Scourge by resurrecting King Solas and Orgrim. If Jiang Jie hadn't stopped it in time, he would have succeeded.

Even with Jiang Jie's stop, it only saved Stromgarde.

He never expected that after Kel'Thuzad left Stromgarde, he actually went to Hammerfall.

"Inertial thinking... It's not worth it!"

The reason why it was unexpected was mainly because in Jiang Jie's impression, King Solas was resurrected as a death knight, but among the four knights of the apocalypse, there was no Orgrim.

So he took it for granted that after Kel'Thuzad's defeat, he had already left the Arathi Highlands and went to other places, but he forgot that besides King Solas, another hero was buried in this land.

The undead army is difficult to deal with, let alone Kel'Thuzad is there.

Now that Stromgarde has lost the Valley of Refuge and the Arathor cavalry, how can it fight against the undead?
In the palace, Jiang Jie and King Solas met again to discuss countermeasures.

"Assuming that the undead army has been rushing towards Stromgarde after breaking through the valley of refuge, considering the movement speed of the undead and the Arathor cavalry, the undead army will arrive at Stromgarde in two days at the latest."

Jiang Jie looked at King Solas: "Your Majesty, please tell me, are there any other troops in the Arathi Highlands that can help us fight against the undead?"

"No."

Solas shook his head: "After World War II, we lost two-thirds of our troops and have never recovered. The only troops you can mobilize now are the Stromgarde Guards...with no more than 300 troops."

In fact, there were more than 300 people, but in the battle a week ago, the guards suffered heavy casualties, and there were not many people left.

This force is far inferior to even the Fenrisian People's Army and the Earthen Army. How to protect the huge Stromgarde?
Most importantly, Jiang Jie is almost certain:
Kel'Thuzad is definitely not alone.

Even if he came alone, after failing to revive King Solas and meeting him Jiang Jie, he would definitely realize that Stromgarde is a tough nut to crack, and he would definitely mobilize more soldiers from Northrend. The undead come over, just need a large portal to get it done.

Now that Kel'Thuzad is attacking the Valley of Refuge, the next step is to attack Stromgarde.Since he was going to do it, he must have made all the preparations to break through Stromgarde. The power he mobilized must be enough to break through Stromgarde.

This point, Jiang Jie can be sure.

"In the past few days, many people in Stromgarde have left. Adding in the casualties a week ago, the total population of Stromgarde is less than [-]."

Jiang Jie frowned and said: "Besides, people are in a panic now. Even if they recruit soldiers temporarily, they won't be able to recruit many people. Even if they recruit 2000 people, what's the use? Ten ordinary people can't compare to a veteran who has gone to the battlefield! Torrent Castle, can't hold it."

King Solas frowned.

Faced with this situation, he obviously had nothing to do.

Stromgarde is so big, with a total strength of less than 1000 troops, there is no way to defend it.

Abandoning the Stromgarde retreat?

Nearly 2 people retreat together, the speed must be very slow, and it will not be long before they will be caught up. There will be no high walls to stop them, and it will only be worse!

"You can't abandon the city, you must stick to it."

Jiang Jie thought for a while, then took a deep breath: "Besides, you can't count on defending Stromgarde alone! You must seek reinforcements! Lordaeron's troops can't be counted on, the Army of Ashes is too far away, Gavin Ladd and Sage The two great knights are both in Gilneas to collect the undead. Baron Maxwell's [-] soldiers are in the Alterac Mountains, and they can't get them out! The only thing in Lordaeron that can help us is stationed in the South Sea The Scarlet Crusade of the town!"

After the old Mograine established the Scarlet Crusade, the Tirisfal Monastery was renamed the "Scarlet Monastery" and became the base camp of the Scarlet Crusade, while the Hand of Tyr became the recruit training camp and recruit delivery base for the Scarlet Crusade.

In addition, Southsea Town is the only port in Hillsbrad Hills, which is very important.Fearing that the Scourge would land again in Southsea Town, some Scarlet Crusaders have been stationed in Southsea Town, and the commander is the high-ranking priest "Sally Whitemane".

"I will ask Darien to ask for the support of the Scarlet Crusade. If you ride a griffin, you can arrive in one day. But even if it goes well, it will take at least five days for the Scarlet Crusade to arrive. The distant water cannot save the nearby fire .”

Jiang Jie thought for a while, looked at the map, and moved his hand from Nanhai Town to Eagle's Nest Mountain in the north: "The Wildhammer Gryphon Knights from Eagle's Nest Mountain will be the fastest to come here. If the undead break through Stromgarde, Hillsbrad Hills and Eagle's Nest are next, I think Lord Falstad will help us, right?"

"meeting!"

King Solas put his hands on the table, and said affirmatively: "I know Falstad, he will definitely!"
