Oryx straightened his pajamas and got out of bed and opened the door to let Brigitte in.

"What's going on?"

Bridget was also woken up by an emergency summons, wearing only a wide cloak, and her long, barefoot legs were exposed.

"There is an outbreak of plague in Gilnehs." She handed over a piece of paper.

Oryx took it and looked at it quickly, his brow furrowing.

In all parts of the kingdom of Gilneys, a plague broke out at the same time half an hour ago. A large number of people were infected and reduced to brainless walking corpses. Even the northern border, located in the southern part of the Silver Pine Forest, along the route from Burning Wood Village to Ambermere, has a large number of undead creatures.

Exactly how many there are is still to be investigated, but it is definitely a daunting and terrifying number.

Arthas ordered the kingdom's army to rush to the south of the Silver Pines Forest to set up a defensive line to prevent the undead and the plague from spreading to Lordaeron.

Oryx could imagine that after Lordaeron's plans were thwarted, the Lich King would definitely turn his attention to the surrounding countries. Compared to Stormgard, which is seen as a loss of population, a densely populated country like Gilneth and close to Lordaeron is the best choice.

But what he didn't expect was that the Lich King would be able to do so much in just one month.

The source of the plague was planted all over Gilneys, activated at the same time, infecting large numbers of humans...... The Source of the Plague is a necromantic artifact crafted by the Lich King, containing a deadly plague, and there are not many of them.

What's more, with his warning, the northern countries are all focusing on the food problem, which basically eliminates the possibility of the cursed sect spreading the plague with the help of food.

Could it be that the Scourge Legion had divided the source of the plague into countless pieces, otherwise how could the entire territory of Gilneth be able to break out of the plague at the same time?

It's a little too incredible.

At the end of the letter, it is stated that Gianna Proudmoor of Dalaran has arrived at Ambermere with a group of mages, preparing to use it as a base camp against natural disasters. And Darius Crowley, the Great Lord of the North of Gilneis, was also there.

Arthas asked him to rush over immediately to join Mograini and the others and take charge of the situation.

After a brief moment of contemplation, Oryx lit a candle and quickly picked up a pen to write a letter asking Bridget to find someone to bring back to the palace.

To the effect that this matter was too strange, even he made the mistake of belittling the Scourge Legion, and did not expect the plague to break out so suddenly and so terrifyingly. Although the recent focus has been on the plots of the Damper Cult in various parts of the country, it is impossible to fully monitor all locations with limited manpower. Your Majesty is requested to pay attention to the small, sparsely populated villages in the country, lest the Cursed Sect take advantage of the fact that the regular army of the kingdom is pinned down in the Silver Pine Forest and attack in a place that is not easy to attract attention.

He asked the royal mage to prepare the portal and put on his armor with the help of the servants who had already been awakened, and in the process, he constantly reminded Old Langton to put on more embankments and not let the cursed cult hiding in the shadows take advantage of it.

The king's orders have been given throughout the country.

The members of the Knights of the Silver Hand will rush to Ambermere one after another. Whether it's just back from Northrend, or the ones in his private army. Bridget will go too, but with Orrix's Royal Mage there, she doesn't have to ride the griffons with time and effort.

Eventually, everything was ready, and the two of them also passed through the portal set up by the royal mage and arrived at Ambermere with Lady Jandis Barov.

The town is brightly lit and messy.

The northern militia of Gilneth under the command of High Lord Darius Crolley came and went, and some of them were seen as paladins of the Knights of the Silver Hand or mages of Dalaran, all carrying armaments and barricades on the outskirts of the town.

Due to its close proximity to Dalaran and the focus of investigation, Ambermir was not hit by the plague, but a large number of villagers in the surrounding villages were infected and became immortal spirits, and were moving towards the town.

In a few hours at most, it will be attacked by a horde of corpses.

Entering the hotel, a group of people were discussing the military situation.

Alexandros Mograini and Darius Crowley, lord of the northern lands of Gilneth, stood at the table covered with maps, discussing something. The latter was covered in dirt, his armor was torn, and there were blood stains in many places, apparently having just experienced a battle.

Gianna and other mages from Dalaran were in the back and did not join the discussion.

Oryx was not good at the specific military deployment, and did not interject, but just said hello to the people who saw him, and stood quietly in the crowd.

Seeing him coming, Mograine nodded at him and continued the original topic: "Great Lord, this is no longer a question of how many Gilnesians to save, I understand your anxiety, but the priority is to stop the spread of the plague. ”

Darius gritted his teeth and said, "There are tens of thousands of undead, and my people are dying every second......

Oryx listened for a while and gradually understood the situation.

Not long ago, the "Ten-Day Ban" issued by King Jean Greymane a day earlier spread to every corner of the North, causing great panic.

The northern citizens of Gilneys, who knew nothing about the situation, thought that the plague had broken out, which is why the king issued such strict restrictions, and they all dragged their families to move into the wall of Greymane, which was under construction.

As a result, this creates an opportunity for the Scourge Legion. The plague broke out at the right time, infecting large numbers of Gilneys, forming a wave of corpses towards the northern part of the Silver Pines Forest, the hills of Hillsbrad, and Ambermere in the mountains.

The Grand Lord, Darius Crowley, came to Ambermere with the northern militia forces of Gilneth to fight their way out of the siege.

He hoped to have the help of the Knights of the Silver Hand to rescue the civilians who had been trapped in the corpse horde, but he knew that this was an unrealistic request. Those people are hopeless, and they will eventually become part of the corpse tide.

After consulting with Darius, Mograine turned to Oryx again and began to report on the decision made by the Silver Hand in his absence: "It is here, the militia forces are evacuating the civilians and are preparing to lead the civilians to the Tirisfal Glade. The king would send troops to meet them and set up a defensive line at the border of the Silverpine Forest and Tirisfal to hold back the tide of corpses. The regular army is also coming, and it is expected to take half a month to arrive, during which time we need to hold the town's and southern passages, with the help of Dalaran, and prevent any of the undead from stepping into the Great Plains of Dalaran and the Hills of Hillsbrad...... In addition, I would like to send a force deep into danger and hold the northern pass of Gilneis! ”

Oryx frowned. Diagram of the Avenue of the Heavens
