I have one more World of Warcraft Necromancer than you

Chapter 280 Sofia Heights

Lorraine is now a Stone Guardian of the Horde, a Level 6 officer, serving as a Plaguebringer leading the Royal Apothecary Guild's combat forces, and also a First Sergeant-General and Gravekeeper...

Soon to be promoted to the elite of Undercity, a legionary soldier of the Defiler Legion.

Currently, they are considered reserve personnel.

The honorary rank of the tribe is a level that is used throughout the entire faction, while the job position is the one for which one is loyal to the queen.

The Gravekeepers are a security force, while the Defiler Legion is the main force that fought in the Arathi Basin and the human alliance against the Arathor.

Although the soldiers here are called soldiers, only the elite of the elite can join the Contaminated Legion.

The Frostwolf Legion is the main warband of Alterac Valley, directly under the Frostwolf Clan of General Drek'Thar. Since Warchief Thrall was from the Frostwolf Clan, the Frostwolf Legion is practically the highest-ranking warband in the Horde, bar none.

The Kor'kron Elite Guard is Thrall's personal guard, equivalent to the Royal Guard, and generally only orcs are eligible to join.

The Frostwolf Legion does not have this restriction; all Horde members can join the battle, but they all have to start from scratch.

In other words, even if you are a general from Undercity, you still need to accumulate reputation and honor as a scout before you can gain the recognition of the Frostwolf Clan.

Advancement requires navigating numerous battles, with each level offering unique rewards specific to the Frostwolf Clan.

Both the [Contaminated Legion] and the [Frostwolf Legion] are battle-hardened warriors, their achievements forged from scars, elite forces capable of surviving battles against hundreds or even thousands of opponents.

It must be said that this honor system truly makes one understand why tribe members always have that slogan on their lips:

"Blood and thunder, power and glory!"

......

Lorraine didn't understand why it was designed this way; she only knew that there were many more titles, but they didn't work here. She had to start as a scout again, though strictly speaking, she couldn't be considered a scout, only an unofficial member.

To join the Frostwolf Legion, one needs military merit.

......

Lorraine didn't really care about these things.

Starting as a scout, he has risen to a higher rank, but he still fights alone. He has met some comrades along the way, but they have mostly parted ways, and he doesn't know when they will meet again.

He finally met Eileen, who had always been helping him, but she was seriously injured and had to leave the battlefield.

The teacher seems to be ignoring me these past few days, probably because he doesn't understand or is dissatisfied with how he treats the beautiful Eileen.

Despite her frustration, Lorraine felt relieved that she had managed to rescue Marcus and Erin from the Syndicate's lair.

Afterwards, aside from the strange encounter with the shadow mage, I kept in mind the guidance my adoptive father gave me, and I never forgot my Frostwolf mount.

In general, aside from losing many of his men by the lake, it seems that several of his beloved Death Knights have lost contact with him.

Finally, after a long day, we arrived at our destination.

The day to descend the mountain and return to Undercity is drawing nearer. The reason he isn't leaving immediately is mainly because he has accepted a mission from Lieutenant General Yerik, who wants a frost wolf as a reward for himself.

Then let's just work a little harder, so that we'll have more options when we get back to Undercity and can deal with any trouble that might come our way.

"Let's go! We've already been climbing Mount Alterac for a whole day and night. Crossing another river and rescuing a few orcs is nothing!"

"Yes, it's nothing... You dawdle, let me savor that soft feeling a little longer... Don't bother me! Next time something like this happens, let's switch bodies beforehand... Remember that, you brat."

Lorraine couldn't understand what the teacher was saying, but she got used to it.

Clutching the gold coins, Lorraine exchanged information with the Forsaken in the cave, obtaining a simple map for guidance. After confirming the list of those requiring scouting and rescue, Lorraine discarded his tattered clothes, cleaned his pack, and headed directly towards the nearby Sofia Highlands.

Before leaving, Lorraine asked one of the Forsaken to deliver a message to Lieutenant General Yerik, entrusting Miss Irene with the task. Irene had rendered great service to Undercity and was a witness; her safety must be guaranteed.

To be honest, Lorraine was still a little worried...

He was incredibly kind to the friends who had helped him, even to Mr. Marcus, who was always ready to kill him.

......

"I wonder how Mr. Marcus is doing..."

Lost in thought, Lorraine found herself climbing the mountain again, albeit with difficulty...

He cautiously advanced along the narrow path, barely visible and worn by some kind of creature, pausing occasionally to observe his surroundings and avoid danger in advance.

Because of the better view from the higher ground, he planned to go to the nearest Sofia Heights first, where there were supposedly signs of syndicate activity.

The task of a scout is generally to determine the situation around several key target locations, including the number and distribution of enemies, their firing positions, their routes of movement and rest schedules, warehouses and watchtowers, etc.

Lorraine received a mission from Yerik: to eliminate external threats by using the blood of the Frostwolf Beasts.

This threat covers a wide area; key strongholds within at least several kilometers of Lorraine need to be scouted. Durnholde Castle is located on the opposite bank of the river on the mountain, near the ruins of Thoradin's Wall, which marks the boundary of the Arathi Highlands.

Just outside the area where Lorraine was on his reconnaissance mission, Yerik hinted to Lorraine that if he had the chance, he should definitely rescue the trapped orc prisoners, as this would make dealing with the Frostwolf Clan much easier.

Orcs' arrogance is ingrained in their bones; their contempt for humans is equal to the contempt humans show them. In the eyes of orcs, the Forsaken, who have died and been resurrected and regained their senses, are not much better than skeletons.

It's even harder to gain their respect or trust.

The plan is to first go to the high ground to observe the surrounding terrain, then go down the river to the farthest castle, Dunholm, to try to rescue people, and finally return to Tarren Mill along the main road, open the flight point in advance, and make good communication.

After returning to deliver the Frostwolf Blood, confirm Eileen's situation, try to meet General Drek'Thar, obtain the Frostwolf, and then you can return to Undercity in high spirits and receive an audience with the Queen.

After a good rest, we can make the next decision: whether to cross the ocean or head north to the Dead Zone!

……

The plan remains the same, but life is full of changes.

Lorraine, a place where one person is, is not stressful when the teacher doesn't speak.

Deathsworn wasn't with him; Lorraine had arranged for him to be stationed on the mountaintop in case of emergency. The other one was sent on a different mission by Lorraine.

He was worried about the missing Death Knights, feeling that some danger still awaited him.

The appearance of the Shadow Mage was merely a harbinger; the so-called unknown shadow, since his resurrection as a necromancer, had not dissipated but had instead grown ever stronger. Lorraine also knew of the Syndicate bandits.

Oridon said that they had people in both Gavin Heights and Sofia Heights.

This group was the vanguard sent by the Grand Duke, their targets being Southshore and Tarren Mill. Hillsbrad Foothills, once considered easy prey due to its strong and well-equipped forces, was now a target for the Grand Duke, who instead extended his raids and looting to the Arathi Highlands, targeting human estates lacking manpower and control.

In the Arathi Highlands, apart from the ogres and the Arathorian forces in Refuge Valley who were busy fighting the Contaminated Ones, no one paid attention to the fact that civilians had been wiped out by the Syndicate. The remaining farms had all become Syndicate territory. Stromgarde was only concerned with its own cavalry, and no one was growing food for them. Starving to death was their own fault.

Prince Garin was not as benevolent as he claimed, nor was he capable of becoming king like his former father.

Because he had no regard for civilians, the human civilians of Arathi Highlands could only hide in Refuge Valley, seek refuge in Stormwind, or simply wait to die in the wilderness, taking up arms to defend their farms.

However, the orcs and Forsaken of Hammerfall in Arathi Highlands would not tolerate the existence of humans either.

Lorraine understood without much thought that the so-called commoners were the most miserable. They joined the bandits willingly because if they didn't, they would be lambs to the slaughter. Not only would they be taxed and plundered by Stromgarde, but they would also be robbed by the Syndicate and have everything destroyed by the Horde's army.

Thinking of this, Lorraine gritted his teeth and saw the traces of tents at the highest point of the Sofia Heights in the distance.

There were flickering lights, seemingly from embers that hadn't completely burned out, and the bandits appeared to be asleep.

Looking up, I realized that the snowy night of the 16th was not yet completely over.

The bandits of Sofia Heights are doomed, and Death decides to continue recruiting its disciples... Lorraine releases ghosts directly through his fingers, a habit that has become his way of observing and exploring the enemy's situation.

Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will strike a fatal blow!
