The Second Empire of Azeroth
#173 - Front...where are the people?
Although Roger was confident in dealing with Archimonde, he did not act rashly. He urgently needed detailed information about Lordaeron, so he opened a portal and sent Caladrius knights to Alterac to gather intelligence.
He himself gathered an army, starting with the tank corps led by Gadrin Firehammer. Roger could easily teleport the tank corps to Alterac, but Alterac was mountainous, making it difficult for the tanks to move out. He needed a new teleportation point.
Alleria volunteered to accompany the Caladrius knights to Alterac to determine a new teleportation point.
After being enhanced by the Well of Eternity, Alleria's strength was close to that of a demigod. Unless she encountered Archimonde, it would be difficult for ordinary demons to kill her. Roger confidently gave the teleportation beacon to Alleria and teleported her to Alterac.
After that, he summoned another Vrykul army, led by Thorim. Roger needed Thorim's combat abilities.
Even if he could distract Archimonde a little, his chances of defeating Archimonde would greatly increase.
After Alleria arrived in Alterac, she immediately ordered the Caladrius knights to scout Lordaeron and Dalaran. Soon, the Caladrius knights who went to Andorhal returned with intelligence.
Arthas was in Andorhal, where he had joined forces with Uther and the Silver Hand. They had just cleared the undead there and were preparing to retake Lordaeron City.
Alleria immediately rushed over and caught up with Arthas before he reached Lordaeron City.
Arthas and Uther introduced the situation in Lordaeron, and Alleria learned that the Kingdom of Lordaeron had been severely weakened.
Several months ago, more than half of Stratholme's population was lost, and most of the population of Lordaeron City had turned into undead. In other towns, Andorhal was repeatedly breached by the undead, Brill was destroyed by the undead army of Lordaeron, and Darrowshire was attacked by the undead multiple times.
Only a few easily defended mountain towns were spared, and these mountain towns originally had a small population. It could be said that the entire Kingdom of Lordaeron had lost more than 70% of its population, and it was no exaggeration to describe it as a nation destroyed and a family ruined.
Scouts brought news that Lordaeron was an empty city, and the revenge army easily retook Lordaeron. However, Arthas was unwilling to guard an empty city. He entrusted the task of defending Lordaeron to Uther, and then went south with Alleria to seek revenge on the Burning Legion.
Uther originally wanted to go too, but Arthas had also given him a task, which was to gather the refugees of the Kingdom of Lordaeron. A large number of refugees were wandering in the wilderness. If they could not be protected, they would die at the mouths of beasts before the undead came to kill them.
Alleria gathered the Caladrius knights and went south with Arthas. When they reached the area of Sorrow Hill, the number of undead troops began to increase.
So, she found a flat area and activated the teleportation beacon.
The portal opened, and tanks emerged from it, advancing towards the undead. Facing these low-level undead, the tank corps did not even use machine guns, directly crushing them, turning all the undead near Sorrow Hill into shattered bones.
Subsequently, Thorim led the Vrykul army out of the portal.
Thorim gestured to the two of them and led his army east. He had received Roger's order to rescue Dalaran.
Roger finally walked out of the portal, told Gadrin Firehammer to listen to Alleria's orders, and then followed Thorim's footsteps.
Along the way, there were demons everywhere.
However, without Roger having to take action himself, the Vrykul army easily broke through the demons' defenses. Thorim summoned countless lightning bolts, and demons, no matter how strong, turned to ashes in the face of these lightning bolts.
The group advanced all the way to Dalaran, and Roger entered the city under the guard of the Vrykul.
He wanted to face Archimonde directly…
Where was Archimonde?
After entering Dalaran, Roger only found a powerful aura. But when he rushed over, he found that it was just a pit lord, not Archimonde.
Brutallus, wielding twin swords, was already waiting in formation. Seeing Roger and others appear, he immediately shook his heavy body and rushed over.
"Anyone who dares to stop the Legion must die!"
His whole body surged with fel energy. As he swung his twin swords, countless fel energy shockwaves shot towards the crowd.
Thorim quickly summoned lightning, attempting to block the fel energy. However, wind elements were not good at defense, and the fel energy easily broke through the lightning shield. However, with the buffer of the lightning shield, the Vrykul were not instantly killed by Brutallus.
He pointed a sword at the sky, and the sky was immediately covered with dark clouds. Countless hellfires rained down, smashing towards the Vrykul. The surrounding demons also took the opportunity to rush up, wanting to besiege the Vrykul with numbers.
The situation of the war tilted towards the Burning Legion, and Brutallus turned his gaze to Roger. He couldn't understand why the dreadlords were afraid of Roger spoiling things. He could easily deal with such strength. What he couldn't understand even more was why Lord Archimonde had listened to the lies of those dreadlords.
He rushed towards Roger, wanting to kill Roger with a single sword strike, to prove to Lord Archimonde that he was right.
Thorim immediately jumped in front of Brutallus, resisting his impact. Although Thorim knew that Roger didn't need his protection, Roger was, after all, the king. How could he let the enemy approach the king at will?
Brutallus was a little surprised, not expecting that this big guy had almost the same strength as him. He swung his twin swords with all his might, wanting to prove that his strength was even greater.
However, an arcane shot came swiftly, piercing through his chest before he could react. The armor he had painstakingly crafted did not block that arcane energy. The arcane energy pierced through his body, leaving a huge hole in his chest.
Fel blood gushed out wildly, Brutallus lost consciousness, and his body crashed to the ground.
Roger said with a grim face: "Collect his blood, I'm going to find Archimonde!"
He had traveled thousands of miles to see how strong the Burning Legion's third boss was. But he didn't expect to find nothing. Archimonde had run away!
