Chapter 41: Pollution

After a short rest, Arthas and Gianna were ready for battle, and under Arthas's orders, all the remaining people continued to march forward, except for those who stayed behind to meet them.

Sure enough, the undead appeared on their way, and these departed souls rushed towards Arthas with hatred for the living.

"Enemy attack!" said Melvin warning his own men.

Arthas and his party are worthy of being the elite of the Lordaeron Kingdom, and these low-level undead will not pose any threat to them at all if they are not overwhelmingly numerous, not to mention that there is a mage named Gianna in the team! This is the real world, the number of mages is very scarce, and powerful mages are basically strategic resources.

Soon the undead who attacked were quickly eliminated, but everyone did not let their guard down, because a cultist of the Cursed Sect appeared in front of them.

"Welcome, it seems that our distinguished guest has arrived, and now I invite you to visit with me the blessing of the Great Being. ”

Arthas immediately stepped forward with a war hammer: "Cultist, stop your actions, confess to the mastermind behind the scenes, and assist the kingdom in dealing with the threat of the plague, and I will consider giving you a fair trial!"

"Hehe, great destiny awaits you, young prince, and you will spread his blessings to the great master!"

"Damn it, follow me, catch him!" said Arthas, who saw the cultist running farther and farther away, and felt teased, with a blue face and angry face.

"Obey His Royal Highness the Prince!"

Everyone immediately rode their horses towards the cultist, and the speed of the horses was much faster than the cultist, and when everyone was about to catch up with the fleeing cultist, the fleeing cultist suddenly stopped in a farmland full of barns, turned his head to look at Alsace who rushed towards him, and laughed.

"Hahaha, young prince, this is the stage we have set up, and now please enjoy the gift of the great master!"

Gianna, who had been at the back of the line, hurriedly said something wrong: "Arthas, look around." ”

At this time, Arthas and his party saw the surrounding scene, and they didn't know when there were many cultists around, and along with them, there were also civilians who were held hostage by them, and those civilians were all bound by an evil magic and had to be manipulated by those cultists.

However, the abducted civilians saw Arthas and shouted to Arthas as if they were seeing a savior: "Your Royal Highness, please save us!"

"Please save my daughter!"

"My baby is still in their hands!"

The cries for help came and went.

Alsace looked at this scene, although it was almost exploding, but he tried to keep a calm tone and said: "Let them go, I will let you go!" Arthas controlled himself with the last of his sanity and gave his promise.

"For the sake of our master, let us welcome the eternal blessings!"

It's a pity that the cultists didn't take Arthas's promise seriously, and after one of the heretics shouted, the other heretics took out a handful of green food as if they had been ordered to do so, and then stuffed the food directly into the mouths of the civilians, and finally ate the green food themselves.

No matter how you look at the food, it is not something for normal people to eat, the frightened Arthas hurriedly led everyone to kill it, the cultist who fled before bore the brunt, was smashed in the head by Arthas with a hammer, and the fate of the rest of the cultists was not much better by the angry crowd was chopped into pieces, and the hostages who were taken were all rescued, but the hostages who were solved had extremely painful expressions, and some rolled directly on the ground.

"Priest, look what the cultists fed them just now."

As soon as the heretics were all settled, Arthas asked the priest accompanying the army to come forward to check the physical condition of the hostage, and just as the priest used the Holy Light to try to heal a suffering civilian, the mutation occurred!

After a cry of pain, a civilian's eyes were about to bulge out, his whole body twitched, and a puff of green foul-smelling smoke began to emanate from his body, and then in a very short period of time, his body began to change rapidly, the nails on his hands suddenly became longer, his whole body began to rot, and green blood flowed all over his body, and soon this painful civilian turned into an undead alive in front of Arthas.

After the transformation, these mutated undead suddenly attacked like the priests who were being treated, and the sudden mutation made the priests who were still treating them shocked because of the shock, and they were attacked one after another before they had time to react, and they were killed and injured in an instant.

Melwin and Falerick, both veterans of the battlefield, reacted instantly: "Protect Your Highness, kill them!"

After the initial panic, the commotion was quickly quelled, and Arthas, who looked at the corpses all over the ground, clenched his fists almost to cinch his hands to blood.

As a mage, Gianna saw things differently than ordinary people, and she had long felt some strange aura in the barn around her, only to see that she summoned a water elemental to destroy a barn.

"This is ......," Gianna, looking at the grain flowing from the destroyed barn, thought of a possibility that her face was bloodless.

Panicked, Gianna immediately said to Arthas, "Ah... Arthas, there is a magical aura on these grains, and these breaths are almost exactly the same as the aura emitted by the grains in the hands of those cultists just now, but they have been weakened many times, and they look exactly like normal grains!"

Arthas seemed to think of something when he heard this, and immediately ran to another barn, then smashed the gate with his war hammer, and then took out a bag of grain from it, and after a flash of holy light in his hand, the bag of grain began to emit a faint green gas.

"Burn them all! Melwin, Falerick, I command you to bring men and burn them all!"

"Hehe, what's the hurry, young prince, do you think that burning all this grain can prevent the inevitable death? Give up! No one can stop it, this is the inevitable fate! This is a natural disaster! We are the natural disaster legion! We will rise!"

Just as Arthas ordered the contaminated grain to be burned, a gloomy voice rang out from the side.
