Chapter 247 Wolf Island Forbidden Zone
In the middle of the lake, Lorraine was now almost at the edge of Wolf Island. In the distance, the island was illuminated by firelight, and Lorraine had been spotted.
Lorraine has given orders to the remaining Death Knights: they may retreat or disband, preferably to go directly to the bottom of the lake...
The teacher suggested that, if you're willing, it's best to let them run separately. Drag the enemy along the lakeshore before entering the lake...
This would reduce the likelihood of Lorraine being hit or bombarded by artillery fire.
In the short time it took to say those few words, Lorraine sensed the loss of three of his generals, and it was impossible for him not to feel heartache.
He inherited his teacher's stinginess... and he was much the same; he would feel bad even losing a few skeletons, let alone losing a valuable mid-level vengeful spirit summoner's right-hand man...
Lorraine was heartbroken. He was pursued by human knights all over the lakeside and mountains, and had no choice but to run.
They seem to have gotten used to escaping...
......
Yurev and Deathsworn followed closely behind on their warhorses. From a distance, it appeared to be just Lorraine and the two knights approaching Wolf Island... In reality, over four hundred remaining high-ranking servants had all moved along the lakebed, gradually sinking to the bottom...
Lorraine has no immediate plans to use his rare servants.
Lorraine used Lake Lorraine as a warehouse to store his undead servants.
This warehouse is large enough to hold 100,000 undead; hidden in the water, it's very difficult for enemies to spot them...
......
The sound of cannons firing from the lake shore echoed, splashing water everywhere. Their enemy wasn't going to let him go. However, the dwarven cannons seemed to lack range... Despite their impressive display, they couldn't harm a hair on Lorraine's head. He managed to maintain a safe distance.
However, it seemed that another of the six Death Knights on the lakeshore had been seriously injured. A tingling sensation ran through Lorraine, who felt it as well, and his right eye throbbed with pain...
He immediately transmitted his thoughts, ordering the Death Knight to abandon his minions and flee... as far away as possible, and as fast as possible!
If you can get into the water, get into the water.
If you can fly, then fly.
“Yurif, Deathsworn. You two can walk on water, but can you fly through the air like that headless horseman who flew away from Shadowfang Keep?”
Lorraine suddenly stopped and questioned the two bodyguards.
Yurev paused slightly, as if deep in thought:
"Yes...but not right now. We don't have headless warhorses, those hellish warhorses that can fly across dimensions...they belong to the Warden..."
Lorraine asked in confusion, "Warden? What are you now?"
"Warden..."
"The jailer?"
Death Oath nodded, “Yes, Master…we can only detain about two hundred ordinary souls for now…as long as we don’t die, they can keep recovering…even if they are crushed into dust…it just takes a little time and soul power.”
"Indeed powerful...it seems the Death Knight is a treasure..."
The feeling of surprise didn't last long. Lorraine surfaced and looked up to find a group of people pointing weapons at him. Many undead soldiers held torches and stared coldly at Lorraine on the water.
The familiar Gravekeeper attire, simple yet practical... the shield bears the emblem of Queen Sylvanas... higher-ranking officers wear additional shoulder and breastplates... other Gravekeeper sentries carry swords with wooden shields, the swords appearing somewhat worn...
The wooden shield was small and broken.
"The legendary Tetanus Sword... comes with its own enchantment!"
"Excellent, they're all elite warriors! Let me go ashore and see my brothers!"
Lorraine finally swam to Wolf Island and was about to run into the arms of his own people. Before he even surfaced, someone pointed torches and arrows at his head. The man roared, "Back off! Back off, you!"
The Forsaken soldiers behind them echoed in unison, "Back off!"
Lorraine, soaking in the water, was stunned. She noticed that the soldiers seemed to have most of their weapons aimed at the two Death Knights who were following her... From the slight trembling of their spiritual eyes, she could tell that ordinary gravedigger recruits had an innate fear of Death Knights.
Each of them possessed reason and memory—memories of their deaths. The memory of Arthas riding his skeletal warhorse and slaughtering the living was vivid in their minds.
Lorraine understood. "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding! We're on the same side! I am Lorraine, the Plaguebringer! Quickly summon your leader! I have urgent military intelligence to deliver to Undercity!" He raised his hand in the water and shouted...
The people on the shore exchanged glances but ignored them, still pointing their weapons at the two Death Knights!
They blocked Lorraine's landing spot, refusing to budge an inch.
The atmosphere was very serious.
"Hey buddy, we've met before, haven't you forgotten?"
Lorraine's sneer went unnoticed.
An awkward conversation went unanswered...
what is this?
Turning their backs on you?
......
"I am one of them, Lorraine the Plaguebringer! Sergeant First Class, I am still a member of the Gravekeepers, I have my badge. I really have urgent military business, the enemy is attacking..."
"Shut up."
......
"what?"
"No password, kill on sight!"
......
"Password? Password, password! I've got it, I know... 'May you live a long and healthy life'?"
"Wrong command, fire!"
......
Arrows whizzed into the water... If you don't dodge, you're doomed to be a porcupine.
Lorraine instinctively ducked his head. The soft muddy ground by the water was riddled with arrows, but luckily he could also teleport in the water... and had already dodged his own attack.
Lorraine cursed under her breath:
"The password has been changed again? Who's in charge of this information? It's not in the military reports... It's not mentioned in the orders. How can the military management in Undercity be so chaotic... How do they distinguish between their own people? Are you kidding me? I took Wolf Island for you, and you're shooting arrows at me!"
Lorraine was forced to retreat a considerable distance in the face of the attack.
The death knights Yurev and Deathsworn, who were following behind, did not dodge the incoming arrows at all. Most of the rusty arrowheads only left a few marks on their armor and produced a few sparks...
But when the giant ballista was fired, the immense force still nearly knocked down Yurev, who was standing on the thin ice.
The two Death Knights' innate Frost Path can quickly freeze lake water into ice.
The ice wasn't very thick, and it was pierced through in an instant.
The two knights fell into the water, but they did not fight back.
Because without Master Lorraine's orders...
"Ugh, damn it, this won't do. I can't keep taking this bullet. You bunch of ungrateful bastards, I don't even recognize you anymore. Don't send me back, I'll get Mr. Carlos to teach you a lesson... you brainless idiots..."
The disheveled Lorraine was a far cry from her usual timid and submissive self.
He was soaked in water, furious at having lost three of his Death Knight minions...
But he is indeed facing a predicament now...
Wolves in front, tigers behind...
They don't recognize their own people, and there are human pursuers on the lake shore preparing to come by boat and land on Wolf Island.
Lorraine angrily cursed...
But then someone on the island shouted, "This man is a spy, impersonating the Plaguebringer! His Highness the Dreadlord has ordered that the undead army can only advance, not retreat! Anyone who retreats will be executed immediately and treated as a spy... No one is allowed to land on Wolf Island; only airships are permitted to dock. Everyone must defend Wolf Island to the death; this is the Horde's territory. This forbidden area is off-limits..."
Lorraine looked up and sure enough, she saw the shadow of an airship in the sky...
I can hardly believe that Wolf Island has become a relay station for airships, allowing only airships to enter...
This is one method, but Lao Tzu is truly one of our own.
"This... could I be that little pawn the teacher mentioned, the pawn that crosses the river and can only move forward? What's that game called again? What national treasure?"
"Idiot, why are you still thinking about that thing at a time like this... Get out of here, it's dangerous."
......
Lorraine failed to reach the island; almost all of his men by the lake were wiped out, with only four Death Knights escaping in different directions... One lay paralyzed on the ground, unable to move, yet the humans could not kill him...
Another one dived directly into the water, where Lorraine's skeleton beasts lurked, killing many of the human pursuers who could swim.
They dared not pursue them any further...
They all surrounded the dying, crippled death knight...
Eleven Death Knights: Daefryn, Thule, Arugal, Aldu, Valein, Primval, Razoklau, Reshigor, Yurev, Deathsworn, and Joseph.
Among them, Duke Vallein, Razoclaw, and Reshigor were killed...
The one left surrounded, with less than half his body visible, was Tule...
Tuller is no longer a necromancer, a werewolf and a combination of corpses; he is actually closer to a lich... but he never completed the transformation. Now he is a spellcaster death knight proficient in the power of frost and death.
After encasing its wrecked body in ice, it ceased all movement.
Humans probed, slashed, and hacked at the ice, but swords and knives left no mark. Even cannon fire only blasted the ice away without shattering it. The militia, after much deliberation, decided to bind it with iron chains, lock it in a cage, load it onto a wagon, and haul it away as spoils of war...
The messenger shouted, "We've captured the Death Knight... We've won! Long live Stromgarde..."
While soaking in the water, Lorraine heard shouts of "Long live Chicken Fillet Burger!" coming from the other side...
He felt uneasy...
Soaked to the bone, they were a far cry from the commander of the fallen army who had seized Southshore as a gift to the Queen...
He was down on his luck, if it weren't for the hundreds of his men still surviving at the bottom of the lake.
He suffered heavy losses in this battle. He lost both his wife and his army...
Fenrir Isle, territory he had once seized, yet he was barred from even setting foot there... As a member of the Horde, the Plaguebringer of Undercity was confined to the lake. Lorraine, seething with rage, wished he could personally kill Varimathras...
unconsciously...
Feeling ice-cold all over, Lorraine felt a slight numbness in her feet...
It sounds like someone is pulling on his calf...
"strangeness..."
Lorraine looked down, and a shadow appeared at the bottom of the lake, sending chills down his spine...
"what?"
