In Stratholme's zoo, Uther and Hermione, who were getting a little irritable, and nearly a thousand of the most elite Silver Hand paladins were waiting patiently by the fountain here.
Because, they have lost traces of Alsace and others now...
After all, Stratholme is a very big city, otherwise it wouldn't be called the Pearl of the North of Lordaeron! Therefore, in order not to wander around and lead to wrong roads, and to show compassion for the physical strength of the war horses, they had no choice but to wait in this large zoo in the center of Stratholme City, waiting for the teams of paladins who had scattered out to search to return. Make plans after reporting.
Only after the location of Alsace and others are confirmed, can they set out purposefully to rescue each other, or wait for an opportunity to deal with a certain culprit who is suspected of spreading the plague and causing the people of Lordaeron to suffer endless suffering. Striking and capturing for Mal'Ganis's dreadlords?
Of course, what to do in the end depends on the situation. After all, sometimes the plan is definitely far behind the changes, and all they can do now is to wait here patiently.
'...'
call!
I don't know how Alsace and the others are doing now...
"Miss Granger, do you need some water? Here it is! This is the holy water that our paladins have blessed with holy light. Drinking it can not only quench your thirst, but also be good for resisting the poisonous gas of the undead plague."
Standing by the fountain, he looked at the house not far away, and after hearing some kind of wailing sound coming from it, Uther sighed, and directly took out the house beside his saddle. He sat on the chair next to the fountain, and was about to unscrew the lid of the kettle to take a big sip. After thinking about it, he handed it to the gentleman who was standing aside and didn't know what he was thinking about. Jay the little witch.
"ah?"
"No, no need, I have mine too, thank you!"
Hermione, who came back to her senses, didn't reach out to pick it up. Instead, she shook her head and politely rejected the house while looking at the house where the movement came from.
Because there is indeed a lot of holy water in her embroidered deep sea bag. If she wants to drink it, she can take it out at any time. There is no need to share the pot with Lord Uther, the paladin, which is not very hygienic... …
Moreover, what she cares more about now is obviously the house not far away and the bad noises coming from the house.
"All right……"
"If you want, remember to tell me, although I know that you mages generally have the magical water-making technique? But I, an old fellow, must advise you that you must drink holy water when you operate in Stratholme! "
Seeing that the other party rejected his kindness, Uther didn't feel annoyed, and after teasing the other party a little, he raised his head and drank heavily.
Now the city of Stratholme has begun to appear chaotic, and part of the deep infection has begun to transform. Along the way, their group of elite Silver Hand paladins have killed at least thousands of undead. Zombies! However, they didn't go to any of the houses they passed by during the search, and they just rushed here all the way.
However,
Even so, they still lost Alsace and the others in the streets of the huge city of Stratholme...
Uther and the others only know that Alsace may be at the dock in the northwest, or in the urban area in the northeast. As for where they are, they may have to wait for a while before the search team returns, so , Now he must maintain good physical strength and replenish water, because, he feels, a big battle may be coming soon.
"Well?"
"Please don't look, Miss Granger, I can feel it, there are indeed a few undead zombies in there, but they don't seem to be able to open the door,
So we can ignore them. "
After gulping down several gulps of the holy water, Uther turned his head and persuaded with a smile to the little witch who was still staring vigilantly at the house from which a low growling sound could be heard from time to time.
And this is why he ordered the citizens to stay at home and strictly prohibit going out!
Now look, sure enough, those poor guys who were transformed into undead due to the outbreak of the plague are really trapped in the house. It might take a while to get out... Perhaps, they might not be able to easily break through the door or climb out of the window until they transform into those more terrifying ghouls?
However, at least it will be many days later, so he is not in a hurry now, but he has a lot of regret and regret in his heart.
"That's really cruel!"
"Master Uther, how many people have become like that now? Are we really doing nothing and just watching?"
Watching tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people perish in the plague, watching them turn from living people into evil undead one by one, watching the huge city gradually become a dead place, Hermione's Apart from anger, sadness, hesitation, and sighing, her heart was also filled with all kinds of incomprehensible thoughts. She really wanted to do something for those people, but at the same time, she knew that she herself had nothing to do right now. can not do this……
Just like the howls and screams that she heard from time to time along the way, those things that turned into undead first, and then slaughtered relatives in the house were really cruel to some extent a little!
"Granger Witch!"
"Holy Light can testify that our people in this block have actually checked carefully. There are more than 20,000 people in total, but there are less than 300 uninfected people. Those people have been escorted out of the city for re-infection in the morning. Those who were screened out, and those who stayed at home..."
Having said that, David Crawford, who had just interrupted suddenly, sighed and shook his head regretfully. Obviously, he couldn't bear to continue talking, and he believed that whether it was Uther or that The witch will know the fate of those people, even he himself has become a little numb.
However, his heart is still hot, and he is still full of boundless anger towards the demons who caused all this, and some possible behind-the-scenes hands of the Cult of the Cursed God! He believed that whether it was himself or other paladins, their boundless holy fire of anger would definitely burn and purify those villains who murdered Lordaeron one day!
"..."
'Phantom Slate! '
After staring at the house that was attacked by undead zombies from the inside, and the thick door panels were still shaking, I felt that the door of that house might not be safe, or I couldn't bear to see those poor people rushing out of it. The guys were beheaded by the paladins in front of her eyes. Hermione thought for a while, then waved the wand in her hand, and let a strong spell directly hit the vibrating wooden door in the distance, making it instantly become Hard as a slab of stone.
"??"
"Okay, that's fine, I originally wanted to send someone to 'quiet' them..."
Paladin Davy Crawford shook his head dumbfoundedly, and then he didn't comment on the witch's behavior, and walked directly to the side of his companions who were looking at them curiously, and asked those guys Asked for the shiaby tobacco found in Stratholme and puffed it up.
After taking charge of Stratholme, they found a lot of 'unowned' property and goods, such as those boxes of tobacco goods found in a warehouse, stamped with Fras Shiabi's emblem? And those things are now directly expropriated by them for free!
After all, the owner of the warehouse, the businessman named Fras Siabi, might have already become an undead, even if they wanted to buy or "expropriate for a fee", it would be impossible.
In fact, the city of Stratholme is now 'hiding' a huge amount of wealth, and they only collected some supplies and the original financial warehouses and vaults of major banks before, as for more , they are temporarily powerless.
"Ah!"
"Crawford is right, Miss Granger, you should come and sit for a while, don't waste your magic power, there are at least tens of thousands of independent houses in this city, you can't control so many .”
Seeing that the banging on the door in that house was still going on, but the wooden door suddenly became extremely tough, and now it didn't even shake a little, Uther turned towards the little girl who had put away his wand. The witch smiled and patted the empty seat beside her to persuade her again.
You know, there will be a big battle waiting for them later, and he doesn't want a witch to waste precious magic power on locking the gates of houses, because that kind of thing doesn't make much sense at all , is doomed to be futile.
"I know!"
"But Lord Uther, I think I have to do something, or I might go crazy!!"
After finishing speaking, Hermione sat directly next to Uther paladin with some annoyance, and sat on the same chair as the other party, just separated from the other party by the huge warhammer, and then angrily moved towards those around the fountain. The huge cage looked up.
And soon, she was finally attracted by something else...
"!!"
"Your Excellency Uther, may I ask, those two...animals over there? What are they?!"
Hermione rubbed her eyes, and pointed to the monster trapped in the huge, like those rockery pools on Earth.
Because she discovered: They have huge eagle heads, and their bodies are all that kind of flat hair, but they have bodies bigger than giant bears and sharp claws, and they still walk on their lower limbs?
"That? Oh! Those are two eagle bears..."
Uther glanced at it, and then quickly gave the answer directly. As a high-ranking nobleman of the Kingdom of Lordaeron and the leader of the Knights of the Silver Hand, he is no stranger to that kind of animal, because it is also found in the zoo of the King of Lordaeron, even bigger and more!
"Bear and eagle?!"
"So, what about that big guy over there? Is that a walking dragon?!"
Hermione didn't quite understand the weird spelling of the so-called 'Eagle Bear' that the other party said, but she also roughly understood what it was, so she directly pointed to the small mountain inside the big recession on the other side monster.
"Giant, giant dragon?"
"No! That's not a giant dragon, that's a 'Lightning Lizard' or a 'Thunder Lizard'! They're not giant dragons, they're a kind of docile large herbivore, and they can't be classified as dragons!"
If it was a 'giant dragon', the people of Lordaeron would dare to lock them in the zoo in Stratholme unless they were crazy!
In fact, Uther can now say responsibly: If the people in Stratholme really went crazy and kidnapped a "giant dragon" and locked it in a zoo for people to watch, I'm afraid it's not the turn of the undead now. The plague has come to destroy this place, and the dragon army has already razed this city to the ground with dragon breath.
Of course, people in this world often hunt dragons secretly, otherwise there wouldn't be so many dragon weapon products and dragon skin armor on the market, such as the legendary "dragon hunter" and the like? However, no one dares to do that kind of thing on the bright side. Whether it is a dragon eating a man or a man hunting a dragon, there are certain tacit rules. Otherwise, the five-color dragon will definitely give that kind of The guys who are blatantly dead are a good-looking one!
"Thunder lizard, this is the first time I've seen such a big lizard..."
How dare such a big guy call it 'docile'?
Anyway, Hermione said that she would never approach such a scary-looking big guy easily! Moreover, since the other party has 'Lightning' and 'Thunder' in their name, it is definitely not aimless. It is better for her to stay away from similar guys in the future?
"!?"
"Also! Then, where are those over there?!"
Suddenly, Hermione pointed to another place, where there was some lava and fire, and inside, there were purple-red, twisted monsters?
She didn't understand, what happened to the people here in Stratholme, why are they interested in the kind of tentacle monster that looks like goosebumps? Such things, just looking at them, made people feel chills in their hearts. She couldn't imagine how they caught them and brought them to the zoo for people to watch?
"That's an ooze tentacle monster..."
"It should be regarded as a kind of undead creature, but it is not the same as the undead plague we are facing now. It is said that they are composed of bones, rancid ooze and the dead bones of certain animals or humanoid creatures in a specific environment. A conglomeration of twisted evil spirits formed by the power of chaotic elements polluted under natural conditions?"
"Fortunately, they are not too difficult to deal with, and they have no infectious ability."
If those zombies, skeletons, ghouls, and stitching monsters are man-made monsters caused by the undead plague, then those ooze monsters are naturally formed undead creatures. Although they are all evil existences, the nature of the two is not the same. too same.
"Where did they come from, are they native animals here in Lordaeron?"
Hermione said that in addition to seeing all kinds of strange birds and small animals in the wild, she and Harry have only seen those terrible elemental stone men, groups of gnolls, a small number of forest trolls, and Various murlocs that can be found in places where there are almost rivers, etc.
"It should be from Kalimdor, the opposite continent, or Northrend in the north, right?"
"Actually, I don't know too well. Stratholme has always been the northern pearl of the Lordaeron continent. In the past, the trade here was very prosperous. Those merchants often bought such strange things from other continents. matter."
"well……"
Thinking of the grand occasion of Stratholme before, and looking at everything in front of him, thinking that this huge city will soon completely decay, the holy water bag in Uther's hand seemed to suddenly become less sweet, The hand that was originally raised unconsciously dropped down.
"!!"
"Is there really a continent called Kalimdor on the other side of the sea?!"
Hearing Uther mention such things, Hermione was obviously a little surprised, because she suddenly thought of someone because of this.
"Of course! What's wrong!?"
Uther was a little strange, not knowing what was going on with this startled little witch.
"It's like this. When I went to the intersection of Colin, I heard the prophet say..."
"??"
However, Hermione couldn't continue talking to Uther, because she saw a team of paladins galloping towards this side, and they were sent by Lord Uther and others to search for Al. Those paladin squads of Sass and others.
'Report! '
‘Master Uther! '
'In the dock area to the north, Prince Alsace's army completely defeated the Dreadlord and his undead and won a big victory. Now they leave the port by boat and continue to pursue the enemy! ! '
When the team of paladins galloped forward and narrowly reined in the reins, the paladin at the head reported loudly before even getting off his horse.
"What?"
"You said that Alsace and the others won the battle. Is this true?!"
Uther subconsciously exclaimed, because just now, he was thinking about knowing the whereabouts of Alsace and others later, and how to make a surprise attack after knowing the location of the dreadlord, but now, this paladin actually Tell yourself, the enemy has already been defeated by Prince Alsace and others? !
"!!"
"It shouldn't be?"
"In the name of the Holy Light, I fought several rounds with that dreadlord at that time. If it weren't for Miss Granger, I might have died long ago! Prince Arthas seems to be not as good as me, that Potter Wizards are also not as strong as Miss Granger, how could they defeat that dreadlord so quickly?"
However, unlike Uther's surprise, Dawei Paladin subconsciously felt that something was wrong and unbelievable, and commented on Prince Alsace's ability in front of everyone.
Anyway, in his opinion, unless the dreaded demon king got mad and ran to fight Alsace's troops single-handedly, otherwise, it was absolutely impossible to be defeated so quickly.
Or, if the paladin had just reported that Alsace was beaten badly by the opponent, he might be more willing to believe it?
"..."
Hermione didn't say anything, and didn't think too much, she was just a little puzzled, she didn't know why Prince Arthas wanted to chase the demon who would only turn into a bat to escape, and at the same time, she was also very worried about Harry An Wei, after all, she now only has the other party as her companion.
"not good!"
"That must be a trap, hurry up, send someone to stop Prince Alsace and the others immediately!"
Are Alsace and the others insane? Only 2,000 of them dare to rush after them? In a hurry, Uther, who subconsciously felt that things might get worse, ordered loudly.
However, he soon withdrew his order.
"No!"
"I'll go myself!!"
Uther knew that others might not be able to stop the prince, so he planned to go there himself to chase the crown prince of Lordaeron back.
‘But Lord Uther! '
‘When Prince Arthas led the army to go out to sea to hunt down that Malganis, he took all the warships and sailors with him. Now we have no big ships and sailors to go to sea! ! '
"What?!"
It's over, it's over...
After listening to the paladin's supplement, Uther knew that something might really be wrong now!
'Report! '
'I found that there are a large number of necromancers from the Cult of the Cursed God in the city. They are leading the undead to attack and destroy houses and transform citizens in batches. Now there are at least tens of thousands of undead zombie army in the northwest city, and they are attacking here! '
'Report~! '
‘Master Uther! General Alfred Abedis from outside the city came to report and found that the death knight Marshak who had attacked the intersection of Darrowshire and Colin, and they led more than 20,000 undead were heading towards Strathor from the southeast. Hurry up here! '
'The general tells you to go back immediately! ! '
'Report! '
‘Master Uther! Riots also broke out in the northeastern urban area. There are too many undead there, and our patrol team has already retreated! ! '
Almost at the same time, one by one, the paladins or orderlies in embarrassment came galloping forward or backward from a distance, and at the same time, they brought more bad news than the last.
"!!"
"This is indeed a trap. Quickly, order all of us to retreat and leave Stratholme immediately!!"
Judging how bad the situation has become, Uther finally had to scream in pain, and threw away the holy water bag in his hand, hurriedly picked up his warhammer and prepared to step on it. war horse.
"Master Uther, do you still want to carry out that plan and burn Stratholme?"
Davy Crawford, who mounted the horse with the other party and ordered the other paladins of the Knights of the Silver Hand to quickly prepare for the breakout, asked Uther in a hurry.
"..."
"It's useless, it's too late now... Hurry up! All of us retreat immediately, get out of here first!!"
Now, whether it's the undead here, the citizens, or Alsace who went out to sea by boat without asking, he can't care anymore, because if they walk slowly, I'm afraid all of them will die. Die!
"Paladins!"
"Attack to the south! The Holy Light is with us!!"
Uther is not afraid of death, but he is so afraid of death that it is worthless...
Because, the undead of Stratholme, who are growing rapidly like a snowball, are under the cooperation of the inside and the outside. I am afraid that the remaining thousands of troops in Uther's hands, including the elite paladins including the Silver Hand Knights, will be killed anyway. They are not enough for the enemy to fight. If they don't withdraw now, they will probably all die here!
It's just that he doesn't understand why the situation has gotten so bad in such a short period of time? Perhaps, Alsace's plan yesterday was the most correct?
Uther, who hastily led the paladins to evacuate to the southern city, couldn't help but feel remorse, but soon, he didn't have time to think about it, because a large group of dark undead, that kind of terrible, just now 'Citizens' turned into zombies appeared on their way to retreat south...
