Chapter 50: Refuge

The team had been on the road for 4 days, and Benny estimated that they had already walked almost 3/5 of the way, not too far from the border of Quil Lasas, and it would be beyond his plan to go any further. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info he called a militiaman and told him to go to the front of the line and call Redpass.

"What's wrong?" Redpass walked to the back of the line and patted Benny, who was distracted.

"There are some things to discuss with you. Benny came back to his senses and motioned for Redpaisrie to move away.

"What's the matter?"

"Do you know what we did in Mande Village?"

"Yes, the militia who followed you told me. ”

"The last demon we encountered, Malganis, is a high-ranking demon, and it is behind it all. ”

Redpass frowned: "All of it?"

Benny sighed, "All of all, the last time I went to Stratholme to report on the food, I was stopped by it when I came back, and I was almost killed by it, it was the elves of Quel'Salas who saved me. ”

Redpass's face was solemn: "What does it want to do?"

Benny shook his head, "I don't know yet, but the food from Andorhar doesn't flow into the Stratholme region, and we've come across several undead villages along the way, aren't you surprised?"

Redpass took a cool breath: "You mean ----?"

Benny nodded: "It's already obvious that Malganis has a way of turning people directly into undead. And it's already doing it. I'm scared of Stratholme----"

Redpass nodded: "Your concern is justified, so what do we do?"

"In this way, there is a fork in the border to Quel'Thallas not far ahead, and we will lead the team to the border of Quel'Thalas, and then I will take someone to Stratholme to inquire about the situation. ”

"Wouldn't it be too much of a waste of time? And the elves aren't very talkative. ”

"It's better than us crashing headlong into the unknown, those elves I will find a way to convince them, they are members of the alliance after all, and although they are arrogant, they will not refuse us in this kind of thing. ”

Redpass nodded slowly: "Alright then, just do as you say." We turned around at the fork in the road ahead, and I arranged for the militia to tell everyone. ”

Before he knew it, Benny already had a bit of a taste of the backbone.

――――

Quel'Salas border, Quirrisin outpost. The captain of the Far Wanderer squadron, Vorahill, was writing a scout report in the hall. It's sunny here, and she loves to work in the sun.

"Captain!" reported a game-dressed elf.

"Huh?" said Worahir looked up.

"A large group of humans was found marching towards the outpost, about 1,500 people, with a small number of militiamen and members of the Silver Knights. Most of the others are ----- refugees. ”

"Refugees?" Worahir stood up, his brow furrowed. Could it be that the orcs have invaded again? "How far is it from the outpost?"

"Less than twenty thousand yards. ”

"Assemble the second and third squads. Check it out. ”

"Yes!"

――――

"Benny, it's almost there, right?" Redpass wiped his sweat, they had been gone for 4 days, and many of the old and weak in the team were a little overwhelmed.

"Well, it's not far off, let the team hold on a little longer. Benny was also tired, and he ran into several waves of undead along the way. The spirit of combat consumption has not been well replenished.

Redpass nodded, and just as he was about to turn around, an arrow plunged not far in front of him.

"Who!" Redpass pulled out his dagger and shield, glancing back and forth.

"It's an elf. Benny patted Redpass on the arm, motioning for him to calm the somewhat rioting group.

Benny took a few steps forward, walked up to the cluster of arrows and shouted, "Is this Your Excellency General Sylvanas, I'm Benedict Smith." ”

"Smith?" a ranger-dressed elf stepped out of the woods.

"Vorahill?" Benny knew her, Vorrahiel, Sylvanas' subordinate. One of the elves who escorted him back to Talon last time.

"It's me, what's going on?" Vorahir looked at the line behind Benny.

"We have been attacked by an army of the undead, refugees from Talonshire. ”

"Army of the undead?" Worahir frowned.

"Yes, army of the undead. The demon you repelled has sown a plague in Andorhar that can transform people into puppets of the undead, forming an army of the undead. Benny sighed and was about to lie again. At this time, where did the army of the undead come from, their commander, and they are still on the road of depravity?

"Why don't you go to Stratholme?"

"We don't know what's going on there, we can't just go there. ”

"Then you're here ---?"

"I hope you can take these refugees in for the time being, and you don't need to enter Quel'Thalas, you only need to camp in front of the outpost. I'll go to Stratholm to check it out, and if it's safe there, I'll come back and lead the team to Stratholme. "Benny knows the bottom line of these elves. If he asks to enter Quel'Thalas, Sylvanas can't be the master.

Vorahill thought for a moment and nodded slowly, "If I don't enter the magic enchantment, I can make this decision. ”

Benny gave a chest salute, "Thank you." ”

Worahir put the longbow back on his back and waved his hand, "We are part of the alliance after all. Come with me. ”

Turning back to beckon Redpass to move on, Benny trotted a few steps to catch up with Vorrahiel, who was walking ahead.

"Why are you alone?" Benny looked left and right, but didn't see any other elves.

"Go back and prepare food and water, the outpost doesn't have that much stock. ”

Benny nodded, it seemed that they had their own way of communicating, similar to sign language or something.

"What the hell is the plague you just talked about?"

"I told General Sylvanas about this. Benny was a little puzzled, Vorrahiel should be considered a close subordinate of Sylvanas, not to mention that he was also in charge of guarding the border with Lordaeron, so it stands to reason that he would not be unaware.

"We sent out scouts, and we did encounter what you call the 'undead'. But nowhere near the level of the 'army' you are talking about. They are scattered in human settlements. ”

"When did your scouts hear from me?"

"4 days ago. ”

"We started 'running away' four days ago. ”

"Understood. Worrahiel didn't say anything more. She understood what the human priest meant, and their message was a little outdated.

――――

"Your Highness, there are traces of a large group of men and horses marching here. A scout in leather armor with a short bow on his back looked at the mess of footprints and ruts underneath.

"Where does this road lead?" the prince glanced at the Y-junction, where there was no signing.

"Quel'Salas, Your Highness. ”

"What do you think? Gianna. The prince turned and glanced at his lover.

Gianna frowned and shook her head: "I don't know." They ----"

A scout suddenly emerged from the woods by the side of the road and walked up to the prince: "Your Highness, a priest has been found. In the direction of Quel'Salas, less than 5,000 yards. ”

"Pastor?" the prince frowned. "Alone?"

"Yes, Your Highness, alone. ”

"Gianna and I went to check it out. The rest of the people are on guard at the intersection. ”

Without waiting for the others to object, the prince turned and mounted his horse, picked up Gianna, and headed in the direction of the priest.
