Chapter 90 The Battle of the Plague (8)
"There are demons in the city, why don't you save us?"
"Why are you still guarding the gate and not letting us escape? Your conscience****"
At the door, looking at the citizens trying to escape the city and the army conflicted, wrinkles were already deeply exposed on my face...
"Your Highness, you are finally here. These citizens are trying to escape. Look..."
Manic signaled me to issue a new order. Yes, if more citizens flock here and suddenly become undead, the consequences may not be what we can deal with, or I should make some decisions. After all, it is best to make the choice that least to lose, but at this moment, I suddenly realized that there was a resistance around me.
I don’t know if bringing Jaina back is the right choice. Maybe I instinctively let her stay by my side, but now I regret it because her kindness at this time will undoubtedly make it more difficult for me to implement the plan that was originally against my will, and I had to hesitate about it.
Perhaps because of my appearance, the conflict has temporarily stopped, and almost all the eyes of soldiers and citizens are on me. Or letting the troops enter the city to encircle the demons, or continuing to maintain this, or even massacre these infected citizens will not be a good decision, but at this time, there must be a choice, such as whose interests they are on.
First, I looked at my soldiers. Yes, they have been following me for a long time and have worked hard all the way. I really don’t want him to sacrifice anything unnecessary, that is, I don’t want them to die on the people I saved. When I saw those people... Although they still look like humans, maybe they will not be humans in a short while. Thinking of this, I think of those soldiers who died in those dead creatures, I once again held the warhammer, but as I expected, my right hand was once again limited by her hands.
"Althuss! We should let them go, the demons should be all inside. If we can block the path between them and the demons, they will not become undead."
"But if the demon suddenly appears!"
"Crasus and the others are working to eliminate those creatures, and their numbers are decreasing every minute."
"But there will be some more here."
"Believe me, if some individual demons appear, I can handle it." Jaina almost begged to me on her knees. Yes, in her opinion, even if there is a possibility, she will do her best to fight for it... "Please, Alsace."
"Okay, then you promise me to destroy those demons together."
She nodded excitedly at this and immediately signaled Mana and the soldiers on the front line to make way for them to escape. For such an order, even the soldiers injured in the conflict would implement this humanitarian decision without any complaints, but this also means that the order on their shoulders might be heavier.
But on the other hand, the uninformed citizens were very puzzled by our behavior, and they even thought that we would go into the city to save them, rather than standing here to guard the citizens not let them go out, which was the same as the behavior of the demons. This is not the time to explain this issue to them, because before that, I must see if they have changed and pay attention to whether there are demons nearby.
I looked inside the door, and at this moment a demon with a strange face appeared nearby. When he appeared, I immediately thought of what would happen.
"Be careful of the crowd!"
I was very alert to the soldiers, and the soldiers who had experienced several mutations of citizens had adapted to this phenomenon, and most of them were still cut off their heads during their transformation. Even if some transformations were made, they were quickly destroyed.
Although the chaos caused by the release of this demon cannot threaten us, our actions have affected the emotions of the citizens... Perhaps they also know that the people who were killed are about to be transformed, after all, they still feel that we are slaughtering humans from the bottom of their hearts. And they are of a type of existence, so they naturally think that we are doing devilish things and killing innocent people.
But I just wanted to deal with the demon as soon as possible. I had no time to explain to them, and I didn't even need to explain. Who knew if they would become undead, and the longer the time went on, the more people would be transformed into undead. In addition, the crowded people fleeing, I became very impatient and could not destroy the demon.
Fortunately, Jaina realized that point at the first time. She used her spell to approach her unknowingly, and used her magic to transform it into a small animal. After giving it a fatal blow, the demon then fell to the ground.
Seeing her being able to destroy a demon so happily, I couldn't help but feel a little relieved. I believe that after experiencing these, she should be considered a strong master. I didn't think much, but looked at the citizens again. Yes, killing that demon has somewhat changed their view of us, but at least it's much quieter than just now, and for me this is enough.
My heart was quiet for a moment, but after thinking about what happened next, my feeling just now disappeared.
They have left the city, but it is absolutely impossible to place them in other towns, and they must even be under supervision. If they are allowed to escape freely, it will undoubtedly be another threat to the normal residents in other places...
"Mana, you go and send troops to organize them to the basin on the wheat field, and you can't let them get into other places."
"If someone escapes! Or get infected..."
"Never let them threaten other cities."
"I see."
Facing me without a positive answer, the guard captain Faxin understood and led half of the troops to watch over the citizens to the place I mentioned.
With the subsequent devils being wiped out and only vague citizens escaped, things seemed to be somewhat controllable, because the reduction in the number of people would undoubtedly reduce our workload a lot, but this was not the case.
I remember that there are quite a few demons in the city, so why did I encounter only one demon in the place where so many citizens escaped? This really made me wonder, so I thought from the perspective of others, what would I do if I were them, such as infiltrating the crowd while the chaos, and when everyone escaped, they were summoning them to become dead and spreading to other places.
I thought about it with concern and soon verified it in a citizen. Perhaps the decrease in the abortion allowed me to have the energy to pay attention to those citizens who fled, but when I realized that a person who was not afraid and did not take his family out, I realized that a similar aura was emitting from him.
"Let him stop."
I signaled that the soldiers stopped the man, and at this moment, he suddenly tore off his disguise, turned into a fierce demon, and attacked the nearby soldiers. Fortunately, they had become alert to the human that I prompted. Without letting his raid succeed, they were shot dead by the nearby soldiers.
"Damn!" Jaina and I walked over and looked at his disguised clothes. I felt that there must be something else I had let go. "Gianna, you stay here. I'm going to find Manic!"
“Alsace….”
"I hope...I hope it won't be worse."
I didn't say anything else, but rode my mount to the mana. Yes, I understand that Jaina was worried that I might attack the citizens, but how could I do that? As long as there were no demons in disguise, and the people who just saw wearing similar clothes to him were just ordinary people.
But I thought this way, wasn't it just a lie to myself. When I came to Manic and saw the people who were wearing the same clothes as the dead demon and showed murderous gaze gathered together and were preparing to release some strange spells, I knew that at this time, I couldn't hesitate.
"Kill those disguised demons." Before Manic could come and report, he was suppressed by my order. He didn't ask anything, but immediately executed my order. But we had already made these guys notice our movements for a distance, so before we got close to them, some of them walked out of the magic circle and transformed the poor citizens.
As some citizens change, they become undead. There is chaos again. Yes, panic and untrained citizens cannot become our force to fight against these creatures. And even if they can fight side by side with us, we have to worry about when they will transform and then bite us back. As most of the troops left here go deep into the crowd, I think if this continues, before those demons are killed, our only troops will be overwhelmed by the transformed undead.
"Damn it!" Seeing that soldiers were attacked by those undead creatures from time to time, I knew it was time to change my way. "Sweep away... and clear the obstacles around me." As I said, I attacked the citizens around me. When the other soldiers saw me doing this, they hesitated for a moment, sighed and pointed their weapons at those who were blocking me.
Perhaps many people approach the soldiers to find a sense of security, but now seeing that we have aimed our weapons at them, they become even more at a loss. Yes, they may think that they are killed by those deformed creatures, but the reality is that they die at the hands of Lordaeron soldiers they trust...
Now the situation is completely chaotic. I know that I should destroy those demons as soon as possible, so that the undead creatures will not appear on the land of the alliance. But what surprised me was that those demons had no intention of escaping, and even waited for me as if they were waiting for us to massacre them. And just as I approached, I finally found out what they were summoning, that is, Mel Ganier, who was destroyed by Crasus. However, before he appeared, all the demon servants who focused on summoning their masters had been easily solved by us.
And he was naturally surrounded by us.
"Demon, leave your last words." Yes, together with the two Paladins and hundreds of people, this demon has no chance of defeating us.
"Last Word?" The devil showed a ridiculous look of my words. "Don't be too confident, human, I think I saw you slaughtering your people just now. I think you did a very good job."
"It's all for you, villain."
"Maybe it, but I think you still have great potential, if..."
"Your last words are over." Before he could continue, I waved my weapon to interrupt his continued operation. Yes, I knew that even the powerful Sargeras was led to by this creature, so it would be better not to talk nonsense to him.
Perhaps he thought I was willing to communicate with him or listen to his persuasion, but he did not avoid it at the first time, so that my warhammer hit the demon again, but it still did not cause much damage to him as before. Instead, the mana that came immediately was scratched on his strong claws with his sword, which made him feel a little astonished.
"How could it be?"
"You miscalculated it." I showed a smug smile. Yes, this guy may not know that this sword does not come from us humans...
"Maybe..." The devil immediately showed a calm look. "But we will never give up. If you want to completely eliminate our threat, come to Northende to find me, and I will give you a brand new destiny at that time."
"Then I will tell you too, I will go to find you, and I will tell you that you will definitely fail, the demon."
"Then let me wait and see, human." The demon looked at Manic before leaving and then disappeared.
