Chapter 40: The Plague

In the winter of Dark Gate 19, the plague was found to be spreading in the north of Lordaeron, and the Holy Light Church sent a priest to check on it, but there was no clue. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoArthas, of the Knights of the Silver Hand, traveled to Dalaran for help.

At the same time Talonshire.

"I think you should be aware of the seriousness of the incident. ”

Benny pointed to the unburned wheat on the table, and God asked for seriousness. For the past few months, he has been asking Lines to send a sample whenever he finds Andorhar's food team. This batch of grain was delivered by Lines before dawn.

"I don't know what's going on with Ben now! How do you tell me to report to my superiors?"

Keller was simply inexplicable when Benny called him to the church before dawn, and burned a pile of wheat with holy light, pointing at the wheat and telling her to report to her superiors.

Benny sighed, having been here for 9 months, already knowing that Keller was the Silver Hand that had joined out of hatred during the Orc War. As for how to sense the holy light, she herself was confused, and later because of personality problems, she has not been very important, so she knows very little about some things.

"Captain Keller, since you know spiritism, you should know that they are a type of necromancy, the Holy Light has a strong restraining effect on them, the wheat you saw was transported to Stratholm by Andorhar, they were released with necromancy, those who eat this food will be infected with a plague, I have asked Captain Redpass to intercept the food team, and now I need you to report this to the headquarters of the Silver Hand immediately. ”

Keller was dumbfounded, what was it.

"Necromancy?Plague?"

Benny nodded: "We don't have that much time to discuss, you just need to know that those infected with this plague will be transformed into undead!"

Keller nodded stunned.

"Well, I'll send someone to the headquarters immediately. ”

"How long will it take?"

"It takes about a week to get back and forth. ”

Benny frowned, a week is too long, there is not so much time, the silver hand does not seem to be able to count on it, as for him, he has no contact with Lordaeron's power group at all, and those people who can reach him will not listen to him, even if Alonsos Fao resurrects himself to say it, no one will believe it, that news is too unbelievable. He is now spreading the news of the invasion of the natural disaster, not to mention the reaction of the people, and the authorities will immediately convict him of treason. There weren't many Light followers in there.

Now it seems that only the second plan can be carried out.

"Captain Keller, although our relationship has not been very good, I think it is a disagreement of character, and it has nothing to do with our position, we are both servants of the Light. Right?" Benny looked at Keller with a serious look on his face.

Keller nodded, not speaking. Of course she knew that. She doesn't like Benny just because she doesn't think Benny is manly.

Benny continued, "I want you to work with Captain Redpass to build defenses around town. ”

Keller raised his hand to stop Benny and said, "I'm just going to ask one thing! Is it war?"

"I'm afraid so, Captain Keller. This spell transforms people into puppets of the caster, and it couldn't be easier for him to start a war. ”

Keller nodded.

"I see, you continue. ”

"You and Captain Redpass are ready to defend the town, and I'll head to Stratholme. You should know that, apart from our self-sufficiency here, most of the Stratholme district depends on Andorhar for food. The food of the food teams must be burned on the spot. ”

Benny finished speaking in one breath and looked at Keller.

Keller thought for a moment and nodded.

"I see, I've always disliked you, but I'm going to do what you say, and I'm sure you won't joke about that. ”

Benny was a missionary here for nine months, and his actions were already recognized by the townspeople. Keller also had to admit that although Benny was young, he was a very devout follower of the Light. Presumably he wouldn't joke about that.

Outside Talon County, Kings Road. Redpass led the militia and the guards of the food corps to confront each other. Benny told him that the grain was carrying a plague, and although he couldn't believe it, as soon as the light came into contact with the grain, the grain would be burned, and if it wasn't the plague, it was certainly not a good thing. Although he doubted how Benny knew there was something wrong with the food, it was a top priority not to let it spread for now.

"A militia captain dares to intercept the grain team, do you know where the grain is transported? And that priest, he must be fake! What ridiculous psychic spell will my grain have?!" The person in charge of rhyming is the boss of the grain team, this line has been running by himself, and nothing has happened to him, but he didn't expect to be stopped by a team of militia today. Are these militias trying to commit treason?

Redpas glanced at him, but did not speak, even if there is no plague in these grains, there will be nothing good, the opposition between the Holy Light and the evil is well known, ordinary food is fine, your food will catch fire when it touches the Holy Light. There is no need to waste words with him, but the boss is still suspicious of Benny.

Benny came out of the town just in time to see the militia and the food team confronting each other, and the militia captain did not disappoint, and Benny had been worried that the militia captain would let him go out of fear.

Seeing Benny coming, Redpass walked over and said, "Benny, I'll leave it to you." I don't want to bother with this idiot. ”

Benny nodded: "I just did another experiment in the church, and they do have a problem with their food, which has the imprint of psychic spells on it. ”

"Psychic spells?" Reapas didn't know much about this, presumably it was a wizard's trick.

"Remember what I told you about what the Silver Hand found?" asked Benny.

Redpass nodded, "You mean, the same spell as that thing?" Because of his daughter's relationship, he had a pretty good relationship with Benny later, and Benny said it during the small talk.

"Yes!"

Redpass's face became solemn.

"Then it's troublesome, I need to report it to Stratholme immediately. ”

Benny shook his head: "No, you and Keller are in town ready to defend against attacks, I'm afraid that this grain has spread around Andorhar." ”

"You're saying that there will be a lot of people who will become those living skeletons?" Redpass's face deepened.

"Although we can't be sure, we must prepare for the worst, the most vicious thing about this spell is not that it turns into skeletons, but that those who turn into skeletons will be completely controlled by the caster. You and Keller build the defenses, and I'll rush to Stratholme with some food and that food team idiot. ”

Redpass thought for a moment, then nodded. "Okay, so when are you leaving?" Benny was right, he was better at going than he was going to himself, and he could directly prove the problem of food.

"I'll go at once, and I'll do it with the horses of the grain team. You take the rest back to town and look. Burn all the grain!"

"What about the mercenaries?" Radpass glanced at the Commissariat Guard.

"Explain to them, if you don't listen, you have to force yourself to come!" Benny was ready for battle before he came, and most of these food guards were ordinary soldiers with little professional strength, and the militia team was enough to deal with them.
