Chapter 8 The Return of Natural Disasters
The Eastern Plaguelands, the Hand of Tyr, is the only remaining land in Lordaeron that has not been contaminated by the Scourge. Under the protection of the Scarlet Crusaders, humanity is still living in peace.
Since the Alliance and the Horde helped Silver Dawn fight the Scourge and suppressed it in Stratholme, the Scarlet Crusaders have been divided into two parts under the call of Grand General Bridget Abydis, one led by Tyranfordin in the Hearthvale. The other part followed Abidis to the hand of Tyr. After arranging the army, Bridget went to the Chapel of the Wish of Light to learn the Way of Light with Old Verde.
Bridget learns the Light at the Chapel of the Light's Wishes, and is uneventful. But as the time dragged on, Bridget felt strange, and she felt that there was a voice calling to her all along, and the direction was far north.
Bridget thinks it was her devotion that moved the Light, and that it was the Light calling her. She asks Old Fredin about this kind of thing, and Old Fold doesn't know why, but he can be sure that it is not the Light calling, and tells Bridget not to be disturbed by the outside world.
Nourished by the constant flow of light from Old Verding and the Chapel of Light's Wishes, Bridget temporarily suppressed the agitation in her heart and temporarily eliminated the voices in her consciousness.
But something strange happened, roughly two days after Quelsara and the fleet went to find and rescue Kael'thas. On this day, Bridget noticed that the voice that had summoned her appeared again, and with it, her breath turned cold and frosty!
This time, no matter how much Old Verding tried to dissuade her, Brigitte insisted that it was the Light calling her again. So, despite Old Verding's admonitions, she returned to Tyr's hand and prepared to go to Northrend in search of the Light that summoned her.
Tyranfordin, who was also the high-ranking leader of the Scarlet Crusaders, Demithya the Oracle, and Marland, the Commander, all dissuaded Abidis from taking the Scarlet Crusaders to Northrend, but Abidis refused to listen to the dissuasion and decided to lead the Crusaders to build a fleet to Northrend.
In the end, when dissuasion failed, Demytia and Marlan followed Tyranfording to the Valley of the Hearth, and some of the crusaders who were unwilling to follow Abydis also left the hands of Tyre. Bridget Abydis had no choice but to assemble the remaining crusaders and civilians who had followed him into Scarlet Dawn, ready to set off for Northrend.
The fleet of the Scarlet Dawn was tense and orderly, not paying attention to when a moving black shadow appeared above their heads, everyone was fascinated by the beautiful picture depicted by Abydis, and they just wanted to build the ship quickly, and no one would notice what was happening in the distance overhead.
The town of New Avalon was founded by Abidis on the northern bay of the Hand of Tyr after he succeeded the Crusader General, and most of the civilians lived here. New Avalon was also a source of Crusader recruits, ruled by Mayor Quibby.
Recently.
Many villagers came to report that each household had lost more or less people, hoping that the mayor could help find out and find the missing people. For this reason, Quibi's head is as big as a thunder elephant. The general had ordered that no accidents should be made at this critical juncture, but who would have thought that there would be another case of disappearance, which made it difficult for him to do, so he could only talk about this matter and sit alone in the city hall and sigh.
"Mayor Mare, this matter can't be delayed any longer. Outside the town hall, more and more people have come to the sit-in, demanding that the mayor find out who is missing. One of the Crusader guards said to Mayor Queibi, "I suggest that the mayor report this matter to the Grand Prosecutor Varos, and let the higher-ups take care of these matters." ”
Quibi listened to the guard's words, nodded in agreement, and said, "Then you can go and deliver the letter, tell the Grand Prosecutor the details here, and then bring back his reply." "The guards are commanded to go.
Soon, Varos' recovery disappointed Queibi.
After a few more days, the dark shadow that appeared overhead was getting closer and closer to the ground. The black shadow could be seen on the farms north of New Avalon, a huge floating city, and some elders remembered the Naxxramas that had parked above the chapel, and this city was not as small as Naxxramas.
A large number of undead skeletons, ghouls, and gargoyles swarmed out of the floating city, quickly taking over farms, lumberyards, horse farms, and mines. Civilians were slaughtered, the Black Knights were slaughtered with impunity, and the terrifying plague dogs roamed the once quiet and beautiful farms.
Receiving the news, Vallos quickly stopped the resistance of his forces and reported the news to Bridget Abydis, who was in the hands of Tyre. Just as the fleet was being built, Abydis sent most of his army to New Avalon to resist the sudden invasion of the Scourge.
Thanks to the timely arrival of reinforcements, New Avalon repelled the attack of the Scourge. However, a team of Death Knights made a surprise attack on the rear of the Crusaders and was discovered by Valos, who led the team to intercept the Death Knights, and finally captured one of the Death Knights, while the rest of the team fled. However, no one noticed that this group of Death Knights had sneaked into the rear inn of the Crusaders and quietly occupied it. All the civilians of New Avalon hid in their homes in fear, and no one noticed that a hotel had been occupied. The captured Death Knight is none other than the Kurdila Weaver.
Later, the infiltrated Death Knight and the Scourge outside the city joined forces to raid New Avalon and get the Crusader's agenda. He also killed the mayor of the town, Quibi, and obtained the household register of all the civilians.
Instead of rushing to occupy New Avalon, the Scourge used it as a training ground to train Death Knight recruits.
When Bridget Abydis got the news, she sent troops to support her and urged the shipbuilding project to speed up. However, she didn't have the slightest desire to ask for help, and her mind was completely controlled by the summoning voice.
Just as Abydis decided to go to the port to inspect the shipbuilding progress, a crusader soldier secretly left the Hand of Tyr and hurried to the Chapel of Light's Wish. This was an internal response that Old Verding did not worry about Abidis arranging by her side, so that even if there was an emergency, even if it was reported to him.
When Old Verding received the news, he immediately realized that things were not simple. For the sake of the safety of the chapel, he did not dare to rashly send Silver Dawn to the rescue. I had to let Tyran lead his troops on the one hand, and send someone to ask Sindore of Quel'Thalas for help!
That's what Safir said to Quelsala after he arrived in Northrend!
When Quelsara heard this, he hurriedly instructed Kael'thas to continue to lead his troops to the Sauracha Basin, and told him to be careful of natural disasters that might occur at any time. He and Safir returned to Quel'Salas first, and Hawksbill and the others temporarily stayed in the Borean tundra to open up a new stronghold.
