Azeroth Trail of Light

It was already a day ago when we passed by Darrowshire again. Dick took the time to visit Little Pamela and Captain Redpath. Because of the fall of Andorhal, the atmosphere in Darrowshire suddenly became tense. , but the saying that the homeland is hard to leave is also very reasonable in this world.

Redpath is training the militia to prepare for possible troubles. Dick told him that once he discovers the intention of the undead to attack, he should immediately lead the villagers to the Hand of Tyr or the Holy Light's Hope Chapel. Redpath I agreed.

As for Dawei, this young man has already gone to the Barracks of Tyr's Hand to receive Paladin training. If there is no accident, by this time next year, he will become a glorious Silver Hand Paladin.

Now Dick is riding on a horse, as Jaina's nominal bodyguard, and he stays beside Jaina's carriage, playing with a silver coat of arms in his hand, which is the symbol of a clenched fist.

This is the badge of the Knights of the Silver Hand, and it is also a symbol of Dick's joining the Knights. This is the reward he received after completing Uther's Dilemma, which was handed over to him by Uther himself. badge.

Although Dick still needs to go through complicated ceremonies and pass the martial arts training within the knight order to truly become a high-ranking knight, but just relying on his performance in Andorhal, blocking a squad of undead by himself, Uther has clearly recognized his abilities and qualifications.

In fact, Uther didn't know that Dick was so fierce only when facing non-order creatures. In terms of combat effectiveness, Dick might not even be able to beat a low-level knight.

Because of the need to borrow the power of the Holy Light's Hope Chapel, Uther only brought 100 knights who still have the strength to fight. The total number of knights in the six countries will never exceed 3,000, and the Knights of the Silver Hand only have 1,500 paladins.

One year later, the entire Quel'Thalas Empire and the entire Darrowmir region will be transformed into millions, even nearly tens of millions, of the sea of ​​undead. With such a little power, it is difficult to even hold on .

This is also the reason why the Knights of the Silver Hand finally fell. The first generation of paladins headed by Uther paid too much attention to quality and ignored quantity. Even if all 1500 of them were legendary paladins like Fording, facing With the nearly tens of millions of undead, besides dying in battle, do they have any other options?

This is not a game. It doesn't mean that as long as the blood and blue bars are enough, you can fight like a perpetual motion machine. No matter how tenacious a fighter is, he cannot avoid the big problem of exhaustion.

But now the Dicks speak lightly, so naturally they won't talk to Uther about these issues carelessly. He just silently followed Jaina's carriage, winking with the eldest lady who raised the curtains from time to time.

Near noon, the iconic spire of the Holy Light's Hope Chapel appeared in front of everyone. After taking office as a paladin, Dick could also feel the energy of various attributes floating around, just like now, although There is at least a thousand meters away from the chapel, but the smell of holy light in the air has thickened in vain.

Even the holy energy in Dick's body, which was slowly recovering, accelerated at this moment. The Fire Hammer of Justice, which was carried behind his back, seemed to wake up, and began to actively absorb the power of the holy light. Like a greedy child, Dick could even feel the cheers coming from this artifact.

Dick narrowed his eyes. No wonder the Holy Light's Hope Chapel could last for several years when natural disasters were rampant in the world. With this concentration of holy light alone, it is estimated that apart from the Lich King, other undead even approached. Neither can be done here.

Look, the Wish of the Holy Light, the Holy Land of the Holy Light.

One of the old knights, seeing the astonishment on Dick's face, could not resist making him say,

Most paladins come from here. Frankly speaking, I have never seen the Holy Light favor a person so much. Mr. Dick, you are probably a natural paladin.

This remark made Dick a little embarrassed. He looked at the knight who was not really old, and beat his chest with a smile. This etiquette represents a salute in the orc group. In fact, in a human country, this gesture also represents Goodwill among fighters.

My name is Eligor, a high-ranking paladin, thank you and Ms. Jaina for saving us.

The old knight was very chatty, he was chatting with Dick while controlling the rhythm of the horse,

You don't look like a local.

Uh... Actually, I was born in the Kingdom of Stormwind.

Dick was shocked when he heard this name. Errigor, the famous warrior after Uther, was also the hero who was given the surname Dawnbringer. During the years when Fording did not return, this The guy can be regarded as one of the leaders of the leaderless Argent Dawn.

Seeing the curious expression of the knight, Dick tried hard to recall his memories before time travel,

16 years ago, my parents brought me, who was 5 years old, to Lordaeron with Lord Lothar and Prince Varian. I grew up here and finally became a soldier of the Kingdom of Lordaeron. After retiring, I also worked as a sheriff in Darrowshire for three years, and then I met Ms. Jaina and became her attendant. Speaking of which, Lordaeron is also my motherland.

Ah, I'm actually from the Kingdom of Stormwind. I was born on a small farm in the Western Wilderness, but the world is unpredictable, but now I'm wandering in Darrowmere, fighting those evil undead. Speaking of which, I've been around for more than ten years. Haven't been back.

In this foreign land, it was rare for Eligor to see a fellow countryman, and his attitude immediately became more intimate. The two chatted very well. Before parting, Eligor enthusiastically agreed that he would teach Dick some basic martial arts skills of a paladin when he was free.

This was an unexpected harvest, but before Dick could be happy, he saw a guy with a familiar figure staggering over from the road outside the town. He was probably too tired and didn't take a few steps. , fell to the ground.

Dick hurriedly got off his horse and ran over to help the tired traveler up. After seeing his face clearly, Dick's expression also changed drastically. Thur and Jaina shouted,

Prince Arthas has an accident! Come, wake him up!

This loud voice immediately attracted everyone's attention. Even Fariq, who was extremely tired, couldn't help but squeeze Dick's hand tightly. He couldn't even speak, but it didn't matter, Dick had already shouted Out of what he wanted to say.

Fifteen minutes later, Uther and Alexandro, together with 600 heavily armed paladins and attendants, marched from the Holy Light's Hope Chapel, led by Farik who had barely recovered. , Straight towards Zul Masha.

At the same time, in the deepest part of Stratholme's old town, a purple space rift is slowly opening. Small lightning bolts are moving on the surface of the space rift. Matched with the black void inside, it makes people feel daunted to retreat at a glance. a few steps.

Before the space rift, a human noble in his 30s was playing with the lord's seal on his finger. He was wearing a gorgeous black robe and blond hair. He looked like a noble of pure blood. His exquisite face was expressionless, but carefully Just look, and you can see the excitement and contortion shining in the depths of his eyes.

This is Baron Rivendell, the actual controller of the East Darrowmir region, and a collaborator of the Cult of the Damned who secretly funded Kel'Thuzad. He was the first believer of the Lich King in the eastern continent. Through the hands of Kel'Thuzad, the king bestowed power that does not belong to mortals.

bass!

A ferocious claw decorated with purple jewels and flowing with blood-red light pierced the space rift, and then another, just like an ordinary person's tearing action, both claws forcefully With a pull, the spatial rift that mortals dare not approach at all is completely torn open.

The energy of the riot swept across the room crazily. The cursed mages who had exhausted their mental energy because of presiding over the summoning ceremony died immediately under the impact of this wave of energy, while Rivendell just put his left hand on the In front of you, make a defensive action.

The green and black energy formed an anti-magic barrier in front of him, blocking the rioting energy effortlessly.

The baron narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at the creature that appeared in front of him.

4 meters high, with a pair of purple-black bat wings, and a pair of curved demon horns on the top of the head, the head and face are very similar to the demons in myths and legends. In addition, there is a pair of recurved hooves The same pair of feet, and the gorgeous armor on it are all blue-purple, but the flowing energy is consistent with the feeling of spiritual communication before.

Well, it seems that this mysterious Lord Malganis is undoubtedly this demon.

You are Rivendell?

After the ferocious demon appeared, it immediately shrunk in size, and then sat on the chair in the house with familiarity, stretched out its claws with slender blood-red nails, like the claws of a ghoul, and pointed Rivendell, although the devil's expression is generally more ferocious, but Rivendell still felt a teasing taste from this expression.

But he wasn't angry, he was a person who respected power, and this demon could obviously bring him greater power, so there was nothing wrong with respecting it.

Yes, Lord Malganis, I am Rivendell, a follower of the Lich King.

Oh, I know you, that idiot in Kel'Thuzad died unexpectedly... Tsk tsk, what a pity.

Mal'Ganis spread his paws and made a regretful expression.

You took over his job and did a good job. Although it was a little bit late, it's not a big problem. Where's our little prince? I heard that you trapped him for three whole days, tsk tsk tsk, what a courageous guy, but I hope you won't feel any regret after knowing his future identity, hahahaha

Rivendell didn't answer this question, instead, he waited until Malganis' wild laughter was over, and asked calmly,

Then, Lord Malganis, all the preparations have been completed, when will the order of the great master be carried out?

bass!

Rivendell's body seemed to be hit by a mountain, and it slammed straight on the wall behind him, but it didn't fall down. Malganis, who had recovered his original shape, stuck it with his claws. Rivendell's nose, pulling him to his hideous face,

That's your master! Remember, little bug, in your eyes, Ner'zhul may be very powerful, but in front of me who is loyal to the real powerful, he is just a humble prisoner, so I don't need you Teach me how to do things, understand?

The Dread Demon King patted Rivendell's face with his other paw, and the sharp claws drew several deep bloodstains on his face, but Rivendell didn't struggle or even refute, but struggled, respectfully ask,

So, what should we do next? Lord Malganis.

Tsk tsk, funny little bug, I like your humility, go, carry out Ner'zhul's orders, little prince... leave it to me! Hahahaha

Answer questions:

Regarding the population, I saw brothers discussing the number of undead in Hadorhal, so here, I will explain to you how the nearly one million undead in Andorhal came to be. First of all, I read on Baidu Encyclopedia (don’t laugh, this is the only source of information) that in the early Middle Ages, that is, in the first millennium AD, the population of Europe had reached nearly 30 million during the time of Charlemagne. In the middle of the Middle Ages, the population even reached 100 million!

The Middle Ages of the earth is a normal civilization, and the human political structure of Azeroth has the shadow of the Middle Ages, and it is a magical civilization, but even if it is a magical civilization, I will not increase the total population for the time being. A quarter of the land in Las Vegas covers an area much larger than that of medieval Europe, but here we still calculate it based on a population of 100 million.

Human beings have survived and multiplied for nearly 3,000 years, covering two-thirds of the Eastern Continent, and the Kingdom of Lordaeron is the head of the seven kingdoms of mankind. Everyone knows that in the context of medieval civilization, as a big country, it must be population and land area. They are all the largest, so among the 100 million people, it shouldn't be too much to allocate 15 million to 20 million people to Lordaeron, right?

Lordaeron owns three inherent lands: Tirisfal, West Darrowmir, and East Darrowmir, as well as the Hillsbrad Hills jointly managed by the Kingdom of Alterac, and the Arathi Highlands managed by Stromgarde part of the ruling power, but brothers who are familiar with the history of Warcraft know that the Kingdom of Alterac was delisted for betrayal as early as after the Second War, and Stromgarde had also declined long ago. So here, according to the fact that Lordaeron has five Administrative divisions are used for calculation.

The Darrowmere region is the hinterland of Lordaeron. According to the general political structure, the population here must be more, but we still calculate according to the average, so the population of each large region should be around 300W!

At the end of yesterday's chapter, I have already answered this question, but I will say it again here. After the outbreak of the plague, the Knights of the Silver Hand, Hearthglen and the West Darlon Mill garrison worked together to eliminate some wandering undead , but the rest were all gathered in the city of Andorhal by Araki, so I set the number of nearly a million. It also compresses it a lot.

But having said that, my calculation method is inherently unscientific, and I am not a master of sociology, so I hope everyone will tolerate this kind of small problem that does not affect reading.

By the way, I saw some brothers said that the official setting of Warcraft, the Northern Expedition only killed 50,000 people, this official setting is actually for the game, too many NPCs will put pressure on the server, and it is not conducive to the game experience , That's why all the NPCs in Stormwind City, the main city of humans, add up to less than 1W. The world simply cannot survive.

In my opinion, although it doesn't sound very good, the biggest advantage that humans can become the protagonists of Azeroth is actually the number and extremely fast reproduction speed!

Okay, let’s stop here for this question~~~ I originally put it in the author’s words, but it turned out that there are at most 500 words, so I put it here, but fortunately it hasn’t been put on the shelf yet, and I won’t charge money. I hope my brothers will take care of it!

Finally, ask for a wave of votes, whether it is a recommendation or other magical horses, welcome to hit me, don't pity me! It's still the previous promise, if you are really lucky enough to hit the new book list in the new book issue, at least 10 more thanks to your parents and brothers! ! !
