The undead that first appeared on the battlefield were all cannon fodder. They had no will of their own, and were manipulated by the Lich King like walking corpses. With the opening of the Scourge Gate, they rushed towards the coalition camp like a tide.

Many of their clothes are still the clothes of Lordaeron civilians, and the swords in their hands have long been dilapidated to the extreme.

The power of death can cause great damage to metals. If you are exposed to these negative energies for many years, even the best weapons will be corroded.

The Lich King has a lot of blacksmiths, but relying on the territory of Icecrown Glacier, without trade and without enough fuel, it is impossible to manufacture weapons and equipment for 600,000 undead.

A lot of steel has been smelted in the past few years, but it is not too much. High-quality weapons can only arm the elite.

Maybe it was to consume the materials and morale of the coalition forces, or maybe it was simply to abandon these miscellaneous soldiers and use their mental power to control those elites. In just two days, more than 10,000 undead soldiers were killed and wounded.

"How many undead did you kill today?"

"Me? Five! One of them was wearing armor. I dodged it, and then I kicked that guy down, and then I threw a sword!"

The morale of the coalition soldiers has been greatly improved. They talked to each other in low voices, and they all seemed to feel that the undead army was vulnerable and not as powerful as expected.

Faced with the optimism of the kings and leaders of the coalition forces, who were even preparing to launch a full-scale attack and break the barrier in one fell swoop, Vanessa immediately called a stop with a clear banner.

The soldiers sent by the undead army were really bad. She didn't believe that the Lich King's soldiers were all of this kind. The opponent's plan was actually not difficult to guess. There were only a few kinds of tired soldiers, arrogant soldiers, and smugglers.

She thinks that the chance of being arrogant is the highest.

When everyone clamored to completely destroy the Icecrown Glacier, she knew that she would soon be unable to suppress the opposition from the coalition forces, so she had to look up to the sky and laugh: "Hahahaha—"

The maid Lilian, who was fully armed and in battle armor, immediately came to cheer her up: "Why is the regent laughing?"

Vanessa seemed to be laughing, and she pointed her finger: "I laugh that Lannathel and Alsace don't understand military affairs after all, and dare to use such a simple strategy against me?"

Her voice was so loud that it immediately silenced many generals in the coalition army.

She is also secretly observing the reactions of the people. She knows that the method of building a stronghold and fighting silently does not conform to the Azeroth tradition. The soldiers feel very good and safe, but there are many voices of opposition at the general level. Seeking a fight is just a rebound from the previous emotions coming together.

"The Lich King must be deliberately slacking off on us, and then use elite soldiers to attack! Pass my order, and the whole army will guard the camp! Without my order, don't attack at will!"

Then her left foot stomped on the ground even more, and she heard the big flag outside the camp suddenly snap, breaking into two out of thin air at a third of the flagpole.

Vanessa looked panicked, and checked the flagpole again, but she didn't dare to finish her sentence, her tone was a bit uncertain: "This is an oracle, the undead army will definitely come to attack in these two days, the whole army be ready!"

She is not a roundworm in the Lich King's stomach. It is unknown whether the opponent will sneak attack, but at this time, she can only fool around like this.

Forcibly suppressing the call of the coalition forces to attack, she went out of the camp to observe the soldiers of the undead army. There were no death knights, no nerubians, no abominations, and no elite troops could be seen.

The power of the earth also told her that there were some undead horses' hoofbeats in the Gate of Scourge, and the opponents were hiding and not using it, accumulating strength to attack, which seemed to be a very high possibility of arrogance.

The history of Azeroth also had such arrogant tactics, but the records of historians from various countries focused on the heroic charge led by the king, and no one recorded what tactics the king used.

No one wrote military books, and there were no military academies. Whether it was a civilian or a royal family, everyone was a blank slate. There was no previous experience to learn from. If you want to learn to march and fight, you can only serve in the army and learn in battle.

Similar to what Vanessa expected, for the Lich King, this arrogant strategy was figured out by himself with the help of Alsace's military quality.

After delivering it for three consecutive days, he felt that it was almost done. On the evening of the fourth day, the wind was howling, and the sky was like Lordaeron back then, with thick drizzle.

The heavy iron gate of the Scourge's Gate opened again, and what appeared this time were not those staggering miscellaneous soldiers, but fully armed death knights.

Thassarian and Koldira took some of the death knights with them when they rebelled, and now there are still some left, led by the death knight Farric, Alsace's former adjutant.

This farmer's son who is willing to continue to follow Alsace even after death doesn't care about justice or evil. He only knows that he must be loyal to Alsace. No matter what enemies are in front of him, he will use his sword to fight a way for the monarch.

The wind and rain covered up the neighing of the death horses, and he led a thousand powerful death knights out of the Scourge Gate, followed by more than 30,000 elites.

There are nerubians, abominations, and tall vrykul undead warriors. The rest of the soldiers are also wearing brand new armor and holding newly forged swords. They are full of hatred for the living and shouting to attack the coalition front camp.

In the previous three days of fighting, the undead miscellaneous soldiers had already filled up the traps in the direction of the front battalion. For the death knights, this was a smooth path.

Their assault speed was extremely fast, and several patrolling soldiers were killed before they could even react.

The undead army selected the northeast corner of the camp to launch a raid~lightnovelpub.net~ La! ’ ordered Farric.

The tall abomination wrapped the iron chain in his hand around the wall, and then yanked it backwards.

The vrykul undead warriors also slammed into the wall with the thick stone pillars.

The wall here is far less solid than the Scourge's Gate, it's just a stronger masonry structure, and the undead found a weaker point, so it can naturally be broken with one blow.

A large part of the wall collapsed very quickly, revealing a passage of more than 30 meters.

"For the Lich King, for..." Falric rushed to the first position, he applauded his master's wonderful idea, and was willing to carry out this great task, but he just rushed into the wall, There was an obvious pause on his war horse, and the next second, he found that his position was suddenly a bit shorter.

Is there a trap behind the wall? It is understandable for these humans to dig traps outside the wall, but why are they still digging traps in their own camp? What kind of trick is this? Falrick has been in the army for many years, and he was really confused for a while.
