Chapter 286

Ambermere, a human town standing in the southeast of silver pine forest.

Before the outbreak of the scourge of the dead, it was once one of the territories directly under the jurisdiction of the Magic Kingdom. The daily food, fruits, vegetables and meat of mages were basically produced here.

Because Dalaran is basically not bad for money, it does not levy too many taxes. The life of local farmers is quite good. They don't have to worry about the exploitation of aristocrats and old men, nor about bandits and wild animals. Even under the protection of mages, they have successfully avoided several Orc wars, which is really good luck.

However, as a saying goes, no matter how good luck is, it will always run out.

When the plague broke out in the hinterland of the Kingdom, the silver pine forest close to the capital of Lordaeron could not be spared.

In just a few weeks, terrible ghouls, zombies and skeletons swarmed to the north of the silver pine forest.

Fortunately, a patrol militia found the army of the dead early and quickly informed the farmers scattered around the town to take emergency refuge, so as to avoid the end of the massacre.

But even so, many old, weak, sick and disabled did not have time to escape into the fence of ambermere.

At present, there are more than 2000 people living in this town, most of whom are young adults between the ages of 14 and 30. Moreover, due to the war, the proportion of women accounts for more than two-thirds of the population. Many militia wearing armor on the wall are young girls around the age of 20.

Looking at the vigilant faces on those faces, Zhang Cheng quickly realized that the residents here were probably going to be driven crazy by the wandering werewolves and the constantly harassing forgotten.

If Dalaran's guards were not stationed, they would have abandoned the silver pine forest and fled to the Hillsbrad hills in the southeast. Although there are still strongholds of the forgotten, at least the sun is bright and the land is not eroded by the plague.

Just as Zhang Cheng was silently observing the current situation of ambermere, master apprentice Bernice rushed into a building that looked like a conference hall.

About three or five minutes later, he came out with a man of about fifty years old with long black hair and beard.

"Master?!" Zhang chengminrui noticed that the other party was wearing the violet ring as a symbol of identity, and showed a surprised expression.

You should know that the Archmage of the kenrito Council is not a weed on the roadside. Everyone has the knowledge and strength matching his identity. Since Dalaran was founded, there are no more than 100 people who can get the title of Archmage. Although they may not be as beautiful as the members of the six Member Council, they are all elites at the forefront of magic.

He did not understand how ansrem ruinville would be willing to send a wizard to such a "remote place" when Dalaran was full of waste.

"Why, are you surprised, young man?" the unknown Archmage smiled and joked.

"Shouldn't I be surprised?" Zhang Cheng asked.

"Hahaha! Well, I admit that it's surprising to appear in ambermere, but I believe you should feel that it's different from ordinary rural towns." after saying that, the Archmage raised his hand and stirred it gently in the air.

moment

A strong energy vortex began to form under his control!

When Zhang Cheng saw this scene, his pupils suddenly contracted and asked in a somewhat incredulous tone, "is there an energy node near here?"

As the name suggests, the energy node is the place where the magic energy overflows from the planet Azeroth, which is a bit like an underground fountain.

The well-known well of eternity and the well of the sun are, to some extent, a kind of energy node. Near the energy node, it is easier for casters to supplement, and the power of spells will change in varying degrees.

"That's right! There is an energy node near ambermere, so I chose to stay here. Oh, by the way, I almost forgot to introduce myself. My name is ataric. Nice to meet you." the Archmage who calls himself ataric took the initiative to stretch out his right hand.

"I'm glad to meet you, too, master." Zhang Cheng also extended his right hand and shook it with the other party.

After hearing each other's name, he remembered that the tribe seemed to have a series of tasks related to ambomir in the silver pine forest. The last step was to kill the Archmage named ataric.

Of course, game is game, reality is reality.

Not to mention just a group of living dead people who have just climbed out of the grave, that is, the forgotten people in the silver pine forest, do not necessarily enable the Archmage to show all his strength. Therefore, amber mill was always safe until the dark city decided to launch an all-round expansion.

"Well, don't stand silly. It's not a place to talk outside. Especially in the past two days, the forgotten don't know what nerve they have made. They sent elite thieves to sneak into the town. They don't know what to think." attarick took the lead in walking towards the house as he said.

Except Bernice, the rest of the patrol did not follow up. They went to the stables to give the horses to the horse keepers, and then dragged the body of arugao's son to hang on the wall to boost the low morale.

Through the parliament hall, the three of them soon came to a relatively spacious material room. The burning fireplace in the corner dissipated the cold and humidity outside, giving people an unspeakable warmth and comfort.

Ataric casually found a chair to sit down, followed by looking at Zhang Cheng closely. After a full minute, he asked, "I heard Bernice say you're asking about Yingya castle?"

"Yes, master, I hope to recapture the book of ur for the parliament. You should know best that such dangerous and precious knowledge should never fall into the hands of arugao, otherwise once the forgotten get it, the consequences will be unimaginable." Zhang Cheng deliberately pretended to be a righteous messenger to cover up his real purpose.

"Of course I understand! But the question is, have you ever thought about it? The fundamental reason why Yinsong forest can maintain peace is that arugao occupies Yingya castle and blocks the attack of the forgotten for us. As long as these living dead don't capture Yingya castle one day, they don't dare to go south easily, otherwise they may face the danger of being attacked from behind." Ataric asked with a serious face.

"You mean... The existence of arugao actually plays a role in balancing the situation? At present, the silver pine forest is pinned down by the three parties of cerbercher, shadow tooth castle and ambermere?"

Zhang Cheng is not an idiot. On the contrary, he is quite clever, so he suddenly understood what the master wanted to express.

If he attacks the shadow tooth castle now, it will be equivalent to breaking the balance. Obviously, the forgotten will not easily miss such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. At that time, ambermere will directly face the threat of the living dead.

I have to say, this is really a headache
