Living like this for decades, until the building collapsed and the fire in Stratholme, memories kissed my face.
Living in experience, from death to rebirth, the darkness under the clouds, victory is so simple.
Thoras Trollbane did not consider himself to be an eternal general, but he believed in Anduin Lothar's judgment.
Victory really can be that simple.
The Awakeners of Stratholme City made a fatal mistake. They got the conditions for victory wrong.
Capture Stratholme City?
Defeat the Lich King's army?
No, there is always one and only one winning condition for the undead.
Kill all the enemies.
Leave no one behind!
After studying the situation in Stratholme City, Sir Lothar came to a conclusion that surprised Solas.
The Awakened Ones' combat advantage is overwhelming.
But they don't know how to win.
No matter how much they hate the Lich King, all the undead must admit the fact that the orthodoxy of natural disasters in Northrend relies on the capture of undead technology.
So Solas and Bigras rushed to Stratholme City and the first thing they did after contacting the Awakeners was to issue a military order.
"If I can't lead you to victory within three days, kill me."
"Three days?"
"Yes, three days. The only requirement is to obey orders and obey unconditionally."
Then try it.
So Solas gathered all the death knights together and killed anyone who behaved abnormally.
That afternoon, Solas led the death knights to destroy ziggurat after ziggurat, blocking the supply of magic power to the Scourge of the Undead in Stratholme City.
The next day, Solas led the death knights to capture the inner city, lowered the gates and locked the winches, completely dividing Stratholme into several urban areas that could not communicate with each other in a short period of time.
On the third day, Solas took out the Alliance's newly developed Holy Light Sensor from the extra-dimensional chrysanthemum, and located the location of the Lich. Not only did he kill the only high-level spellcaster in the city, he also grabbed one lurking in the team. of spies.
Although three days have passed and Solas has not led everyone to victory, no undead have mentioned that they will die if they don't win.
Because the eyes of death knights are sharp, Solas's level is indeed higher than the others, so he has to be convinced.
Lothar's judgment was correct. Twenty-two, no, there were twenty-one death knights now. This power was huge.
But after regaining self-awareness, these death knights fell into the error of experience.
The undead civil war is different from fighting the alliance.
How did Lothar defeat the city of Lordaeron?
Excluding the details, the core essence is one point, which paralyzed the command level of the undead natural disaster and directly reduced the huge numerical advantage of the natural disaster's minions to zero.
Stratholme City is actually the same.
In fact, there are not many middle-level and high-level people in the city who are still loyal to the Lich King.
Therefore, the Dread Lord and the Loyalist Death Knights need to use their superior forces to confront the Awakening Party every time.
The death knights of the awakening faction need to face the overwhelming undead army on the streets until their strength is exhausted before they can see the commander on the opposite side.
So they mistakenly believed that this was because there were not enough troops.
They fell into a vicious cycle of competing with the Scourge Legion for troops, and the bigger the team became, the less they could defeat it.
Come on, the death knight does have the ability to resurrect corpses and transform into ghouls and skeletal soldiers, but your death knight has taken the job of the psychic. Do you want the psychic to face the enemy head-on?
Paralyze the magical attacks of the Scourge Legion, divide the city and block traffic, and use the huge advantage of individual combat power to launch surprise attacks.
If you want an army, just rob it.
Killing the controller and regaining control over a soulless instrument of war is no easier than transforming a corpse.
As long as the mind slips, there will always be more happiness than trouble.
In urban street fighting like Stratholme City, except for the square in the city center and the square of Stratholme Church, there is no place where the two armies can form a battle formation.
Seizing forces from region to region and slaying opponents, the loyalists also felt a headache after the Awakened destroyed the Scourge's war potential.
Over at Icecrown Citadel, Lich King Arthas has not left the Ice Throne for a long time. Kel'Thuzad gathered his troops and returned to Northrend after Archimonde's defeat, and is leading his troops to attack the local forces in Northrend. .
Stratholme City, except for some new technologies that were adopted by some legions from time to time, was basically forgotten by the Lich King.
Ha, who is the real forgotten one!
Seeing that the situation was threatening to collapse, the loyalists began to shrink their forces and form formations to protect themselves.
At this time, Thoras Trollbane found Liras Windrunner and asked him to pick up a shipment with Bigras.
With one blow to reverse the situation, Solas had initially determined his leadership. It was not the first time that the death knights obtained equipment from the alliance, so they didn't care.
Even the details that continue to lurk within the Awakened are just reported casually when opportunities arise. This piece of information is just a few words.
The real point is that Thoras has the idea of concentrating his forces to fight the Scourge.
The loyalists were overjoyed.
It's expanded, it's completely expanded.
Compared with the orthodox natural disasters and explosive troops, it is simply a matter of life and death.
With the tacit cooperation of both parties, an undead civil war broke out.
The explosives planted by the loyalists in advance killed a large number of Awakening troops.
Solas didn't care.
But when a swarm of gargoyles carrying buckets of holy water launched an air attack on the loyalist army waiting in the square, the outcome was actually determined.
High-end goods like gargoyles can be made in Lordaeron City with the materials and technology, but it is very difficult for Stratholme City to replenish them.
He spent a lot of money to get a large amount of high-purity holy water from the alliance through connections, and Lothar spent money thousands of miles away to decide the outcome.
Stepping onto the square filled with holy water through his combat boots, Solas's soles felt stinging, not to mention the undead plague army bathing in it.
Although they are incomparable to the tens of thousands of gargoyles clustered by the Undead Scourge at the beginning of the war, these gargoyles who transferred from Lordaeron still control the sky of Stratholme City.
What's left is a righteous attack by the awakening faction.
"How can you become the master if you don't want to part with the scraps and bottles? Stratholme City is originally a peaceful place. The alliance is stationed at the intersection of Cowlin to ensure the stability of the land transportation line and Darrow County. Otherwise, from Whitewater River was fought over, and Carlos did this trick not once or twice. Those who cannot defend it, whether it is Lordaeron or Stratholme, cannot defend against the Alliance's army alone. Only these two cities can't be defended. With the city in our hands, we have the confidence to negotiate terms with the alliance."
Lothar explained to the awakened ones in Lordaeron.
"We don't want to fight living people, we just want to avenge the Lich King. Who can believe it? Our main strategic goal at the moment is to strengthen ourselves first, otherwise how can we avenge the Lich King. The top priority is to achieve de facto peace with the Alliance. . Fighting with the Alliance will only give the Lich King an advantage. In order to achieve this goal, it is necessary for us to behave like an undead natural disaster."
While Lothar was busy unifying the thoughts within the team, news of Solas's victory came.
At the same time, Lothar also learned that he had become the King of the Undead inexplicably.
"???The old thing is harming me!!!"
