Chapter 84: The Battle of the Plague (2)
"Damn it, did you eat the food here?"
I angrily rebuked, and they were 21 despair and pretended to be calm. That's right. Then I don't have to say anything, so I held my hammer tightly, shook my head and turned to the guards. Maybe this time I have to attack my people...
"Althuss, maybe there are other ways. Since he is also magic, maybe we have a way to save it."
In this regard, Jaina immediately noticed my behavior and quickly grabbed my hand. Yes, she didn't want to see me do this... But how could I give in to her on such a problem?
"That's just maybe, and we have no time to save it. Soon they are the existence of that kind of creature. This may be a relief for them, right?" I said so, and most of them realized what I was going to do, but what can they say about such a move? Although this can be completely linked to cruelty and ruthlessness, rationally speaking, it is very necessary for me to do this. "Because sooner or later they will become that way."
I signaled Jaina to let go, but she still grabbed me and expressed her understanding.
"You still can't do this, Alsace. Maybe they will really become those creatures, but that's when they are still humans now, you can't treat your people like this, and your guardianship responsibilities for them."
"They are still humans...yes, they are still humans." I muttered to myself. Yes, this sentence made me realize something, such as what I might do in the future, and the attitude I most hoped to see her at that time. I put away my weapons again, didn't say anything, but shook my head helplessly, turned around to direct the burning of the granary.
Jaina quickly approached them, trying to use her magic to crack or remove the possible pollution they might be exposed. Mana also tried to purify them with holy light, but after some actions, they did not notice anything unusual.
"It seems they are not infected by any magic."
"That's best. Maybe the food has not been polluted at that time." I was also excited when they said this, because this is also the most hopeful result, maybe.
After burning the first granary, we continued to look towards the next target. On the next journey, the closer we got to the target, the more undead creatures we saw, and we also saw some civilians chased by the undead and more pagan mages. Although the number of mages is limited and most of them are novices, their spells still make us feel very difficult, such as he resurrected the undead creatures we have already destroyed from time to time.
"Damn it, destroy those mages!"
I ordered my mage in this way. Yes, they did this without having to explain themselves, especially at this time Wenresa's bow and arrow. I have to say that her sniper played a huge role in the battlefield. Soon, no mage was trying to appear alone in the elves' vision. Seeing the timid appearance of the undead mages and the ferociousness after death, I hope more elf rangers could be present...
As I thought about this, I couldn't help but start to think about other things again, but the tense atmosphere still made me return to knowing and reexamine the new situation, because a new problem was in front of me, and more refugees were coming to us.
For a qualified warrior, facing one or two undead creatures alone is nothing, but for ordinary people, that is another concept, and what makes them feel even more helpless is that those things are mostly transformed from their own relatives or friends, which is undoubtedly another blow to them in their hearts.
Of course, this is also a pressure for them, and for me, their appearance is also a kind of pressure, because I think, even if they are alive, who can know if they are infected, perhaps just because they are slightly slight or have a little resistance, so they are still human now?
I was puzzled, but as I thought so, I was impressed. A rescued civilian soon became like a dead soul who had just chased them, and immediately rushed towards the soldiers near him and bit his neck. My guards did not expect that the "civilians" would attack him, so the first sacrifice appeared in my army.
"Damn it! Be careful of those villagers!" When the mutated civilian was killed, I became alert to everyone. Some even wanted to kill other living villagers because of the death of my companion, but they quickly put down their weapons and lamented on the side. Yes, everyone had the same understanding at this time. Yes, if they were infected, it would not only be as simple as death, but would also become enemies of the race to attack their own people.
In this way, we have indifference to these people, both in terms of language and actions, and reason also tells me that there is nothing wrong with us doing this, but for those villagers who are already life-threatening, it seems that while they lose their loved ones, they also try another invisible indifference and helplessness.
But there is still an exception. She is caring and still treats them as normal humans. Jaina does not care about these things. She saw the people who need to understand, so she walked in to comfort them herself. Yes, in her opinion, they are just humans who need help and understanding. I originally wanted to stop her behavior, but what can I say? I can only look at the humans around him who may become undead at any time as vigilant as possible...
For example, now, a little boy hugged by her suddenly became like that, and the change was too sudden and he didn't give me any reaction time at all. However, the result was not as I imagined. He was finally cut off his head by the sword of mana. Yes, the reason why my guard captain had reaction time was because the boy seemed a little hesitant at the beginning, such as the remaining human knowledge in his heart, in short, he gave him a chance to kill him.
But on the other hand, Jaina looked at Fanatic first and then, she still looked at the boy's body with regret, and still had the human-based feelings towards him... Seeing this, I felt that I was thinking too much, which made me realize another problem.
"We can't hesitate, we must destroy that granary, otherwise more people will become that way."
"Then they,"
"There are no dead here... and we can't stay to protect them." I said so, and then asked everyone to throw some self-defense weapons to them, and then prepared to leave. For example, what I gave them was the dagger that Sylvanas gave me. Yes, we are a little irresponsible. Doing this is impossible to let them leave it to fate, but for the sake of the rhythm, I can only do this.
Without saying anything to them, I pulled Jaina to the "Invincible" and led the troops to rush to the destination to eliminate him. And I knew he was there. The village in front of me was the last and largest grain warehouse in this town.
In the distance, we can see that this place has been captured, a large number of undead creatures entrenched here, with a large number of humans exceeding the number of villages... I think the best way to eliminate such enemies is Luo Ning's powerful spell, but he is not there at this time. The only mage is Jaina, and my mage apprentices who are not as top. I still have doubts about their abilities, but they still did that.
"Or, there are other ways, such as spells."
As Jaina said, she signaled to my mages. After they confirmed each other, Jaina began to release her own blizzard. Yes, the power they gathered was far away in terms of strength and range. The undead creatures in front of her could not resist such a powerful attack. They were soon defeated by the cold and extremely harmful frost. Yes, I think now is the best time to charge and destroy their formation. But at this moment, the spell suddenly disturbed and stopped.
"What's wrong?" I asked Jaina, and she noticed that direction. Yes, a mage in a black robe riding a skeleton war horse appeared in my sight with a few ordinary necromancers. All I could think of was Kel Thuzad, but his body was no longer as fat as I remembered, but his body was as skinny as other undead creatures. Yes, I think even Jaina, who was from the same sect, would not believe his identity at all, but the horse's eyes would not be wrong. I think Falik seemed to have recognized something... Yes, it was the gift that my guard captain fed and raised and given to the mage by me.
Perhaps it was because he owed me something, but he advised me friendly in the tone of a Lordaeron people.
"Your Highness, I advise you not to continue following me, otherwise you will be closer to death."
"Maybe, but I will see your death first." As I said this, I charged towards him with a few friends. On the way, I was ready to use the holy light to resist all possible spell attacks. At the same time, Jaina instinctively released me some spell protection. Yes, yes, I was sure that the mage could no longer escape my hammer.
But he shook his head regretfully at me and summoned two strange creatures in the place I must pass before me, a bunch of strange creatures made of various carrion, which just blocked our charge. I immediately recognized that they were hated. Such poor creatures, and there was no stitching in my stomach, made us feel disgusted, but this still could not shake my determination, such as trying to bypass them and pursue the real mastermind, but I still underestimated the strength of these flesh shields. For example, their IQ of fighting like elite ogres, and the realization of being loyal to the master, just as I resisted his hook and traveled through the past, Kel Thuzad stared at me and smiled regretfully.
Just like this, a hatred suddenly exploded. I never thought that such a thing would happen, and it was so close... I was directly knocked to the ground. In a trance, I seemed to hear what he said again and then fell into a coma.
"Child, then I can only welcome you to join..."
I don't know if my last sentence was auditory hallucination or dreaming. In short, when I woke up again, I was already in the bed of a resident. When I looked at myself again, I realized that I was still a human body, and there were people I rely on the most. The battle was over, and all the grain in the granary was destroyed, and Luo Ning didn't know when he had returned. So I stood up immediately. When I saw that my team had no reduction in staff, I felt relieved, but apart from those familiar gazes, an isolated and timid figure made me realize something.
"Why are you the only one left?" I walked into the soldier and asked, while Manic signaled me not to keep getting closer.
"Your Highness, they are indeed infected."
"But!" I wanted to argue, but Luo Ning shook her head.
"They consumed those foods, so they could become such creatures with just a few simple casts." Ronin said, "In my hometown, there are similar situations."
"You are fighting with the wizard there?"
"Yes, I can't watch my loved ones being threatened." Perhaps Luo Ning saw me anxiously
In order to prevent me from being angry because he disobeyed my orders, he then changed the subject. "I checked the killing necromancers... I think their predecessor seemed to be the Dalaran Mage, and after gaining some power, he was strengthened."
He said this, but he had no interest in exploring the news that I already knew, and I was convinced that if Ronin was present just now, perhaps Kel Thuzad would not have escaped. Thinking of this, and being played with by the dead along the way, I was already very angry, so I naturally had to release it towards Ronin.
"Yes, you're lucky. If you meet the person just now, I won't have time to prepare a funeral for you!"
"Althuss!" Jaina heard that I was almost exhausted in reproaching, so she immediately scolded me. When I heard this, I seemed to feel that I had indeed passed, so I tried my best to calm myself down.
"Sorry... I've lost my composure."
"Your Highness, you're fine." Everyone was not pursuing anything, but comforted and advised me one after another. "It's not good for anyone to encounter such a thing, but we cannot be frustrated because of this. We must strengthen our beliefs."
"Well..." I only recovered from my rationality after I felt her body temperature passively. At this time, I seemed to think of some possible things, so I turned to everyone's orders. We still have to catch up with the necromancers and believe that they should go back to the granary of Andohar."
"Yes, they should be in that direction."
As I said this, Luo Ning, who also has the ability to sense magic, also agreed with my point of view, and I was more convinced of my understanding and his ultimate destiny. So I signaled to everyone.
"We have to encircle them there."
"Encircle a mage?, this is not very realistic."
"It's very realistic, because he also expects to die."
