World of Warcraft: Reviving Stromgarde - Chapter 184
c183 Entering the Eastern Plaguelands
After Andorhal was recaptured by the Covenant, the entire Western Plaguelands was basically under the control of the Covenant.
The Western Plaguelands is the outbreak site of the Undead Plague, where the Scourge was eventually born.
Today, 90% of the undead in the Western Plaguelands have been cleared, and only 10% are blindly wandering in the dense forests and tombs of the Western Plaguelands.
These remaining undead can be said to no longer pose a threat. It won’t be long before the night elf druids in the Healer Camp will work with the paladins to purify the Western Plaguelands and give it a new life.
The victory of the Battle of Andorhal has rapidly boosted the morale of the Covenant army. The Scourge, which once swept across the northern continent of the Eastern Kingdoms, now only has the Eastern Plaguelands left. As long as the Eastern Plaguelands are recaptured, the Scourge will be expelled from the Eastern Kingdoms continent.
The Covenant army did not stop there, but went directly east and entered the Eastern Plaguelands.
The Eastern Plaguelands can be said to be the most powerful area of the Scourge, where even the reinforced Scarlet Crusade is on the defensive.
Along the main road of the Eastern Plaguelands, the Covenant army fought all the way to the Crown Watchtower.
The Crown Watchtower had long been recaptured by the Scarlet Crusade. Relying on the Crown Watchtower, the Scarlet Crusade resisted the attack from the Scourge in Darrowshire.
Nathanos Blightcaller of the Forsaken chose Marris Farm as the garrison of the Blightcaller Legion. It was originally the farm owned by Nathanos Blightcaller during his lifetime. He also died there and was eventually resurrected as an undead.
The Thoradin Legion, the Theramore Legion, the Scarlet Crusade and the Wildhammer Dwarf Gryphon Knights, so many armies, the Crown Watchtower alone is not enough to accommodate.
“Rex, Tyran, Darrowshire is now in your hands. Darrowshire will be the first step in our recovery of the Eastern Plaguelands!” The victory of the Battle of Andorhal has brought the morale of the Covenant’s army to its highest point. Taking this opportunity, Garin asked Rex and Tyran, two second-generation Paladins, to attack Darrowshire.
Darrowshire is just an ordinary small town in the Kingdom of Lordaeron, named after Lake Darrowmire on the west side.
But it was such a small town that fought a heroic battle of Darrowshire when the Scourge invaded.
In that battle, the Silver Hand Paladins and the Darrowshire Militia joined together to defend this small town to the death. Unfortunately, Darrowshire eventually fell.
Every adventurer who came to the Eastern Plaguelands has personally experienced the replay of the Battle of Darrowshire. This war, which is smaller than other battlefields, is so heroic. The people of Darrowshire who swore to defend their homes to the death have won the respect of all adventurers.
The same is true for Garin. At the same time, Darrowshire is the place he is most reluctant to face in person, where little Pamela is.
Rex and Tyran are both powerful and compassionate paladins. Garin believes that the two of them will handle little Pamela’s affairs carefully.
Not long after Rex and Tyran led their troops to attack Darrowshire, the griffins of the Scarlet Crusade came from the east.
“King Garin, Princess Jialiya, the news of the great victory in the Battle of Andorhal has resounded throughout the Eastern Plaguelands. The soldiers of the Scarlet Crusade are ready to completely expel the Scourge from our land.” The Scarlet Crusade Lord, Ashbringer Alexandros Mograine, came from Tyr in person. The recovery of the Western Plaguelands is undoubtedly the best news for this middle-aged Paladin Lord.
The appearance of Garin has changed Azeroth too much. One of the changes that makes him most happy is that Ashbringer Alexandros did not die at the hands of his son Raynor, nor did he become a death knight.
If there was no Ashbringer Alexandros, then the future hope of the Kingdom of Lordaeron would have been ruined by the wise and powerful Grand Marshal Garithos.
It was this middle-aged paladin holding the Ashbringer who created the Scarlet Crusade single-handedly, preventing the Scourge from completely annihilating the people of Lordaeron.
Garin was also excited, and he answered passionately, “Lord Alexandros, expelling the Scourge is the mission of the entire Covenant, and that’s why we must fight for it.”
“For the Covenant, for Lordaeron!” Jia Liya wanted to expel the Scourge even more urgently. The culprit that caused her country to be destroyed and her family to be ruined was the Scourge.
From the mouth of Ashbringer Alexandros, Garin learned about the current situation in the Eastern Plaguelands.
Sitting in the hand of Tyr, Ashbringer Alexandros successively recovered and established the Holy Light Shield Tower, the Crown Tower, the East Wall Tower, the Northland Tower and the Diseased Forest Tower.
Through these easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack watchtowers, the two main territories of the Scarlet Crusade, Tyr’s Hand and Stratholme, will not be separated again.
The Grand Crusader of the Scarlet Crusade, Silver Hand Tirion, is stationed in Stratholme.
After the efforts of Silver Hand Tirion, Stratholme has been basically recovered.
In the Battle of Stratholme launched by the Scarlet Crusade, the Death Knight Baron Rivendell was defeated by his son Aurius Rivendell with the assistance of the Scarlet Crusade, but Aurius Rivendell also died.
Unfortunately, Baron Rivendell’s body was finally taken away by the Scourge, and was once again resurrected by the Archlich Kel’Thuzad, becoming the leader of his Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.
Another father-son drama. There are too many father-son dramas in Azeroth, especially among humans.
However, Oryx Rivendell, like Darion Mograine, is a true filial son, not the “filial son” who is ridiculed.
It was precisely because of the sacrifice of Oryx Rivendell that the Scourge in the core area of Stratholme lost its supreme commander and was defeated by the Scarlet Crusade.
The victory in the Battle of Stratholme dealt a heavy blow to the Scourge’s power in the Eastern Plaguelands, causing the Scourge to lose a base camp.
In other words, as long as Naxxramas is captured, the Scourge Legion can be expelled from the Northern Continent of the Eastern Kingdom.
At the same time, the blood elves in Quel’Thalas in the north of the Eastern Plaguelands finally moved south.
The Blackrock clan orcs and forest trolls hid in Zul’Aman. Dysholm was conquered by the army led by Regent Lor’themar himself. The blood elf traitor Dar’kan was killed by Regent Lor’themar’s enchanted Thorium arrow.
There is no threat to the blood elves, but in return for the covenant’s kindness, they use Quel’lins Hut as a stronghold to support the Scarlet Crusaders in Stratholme and the Northland Watchtower.
Thoradin’s Legion, Theramore’s Legion, Scarlet Crusade, Forsaken, Blood Elves, Wildhammer Dwarves, the Eastern Plaguelands’ Covenant army can be said to have gathered half of the Covenant’s military strength.
