Chapter Seventy-Eight: Turmoil! The first update
The news soon reached Sauron.
Because the plague spreads quite quickly, not only to the land of ice and snow, but also to the forest edges of the human settlements and elves. This is definitely not a plague that appeared in nature, because it is impossible for a plague in nature to spread to humans and plants at the same time, and the speed of the plague that appeared this time is too fast, and people have to wonder if someone is secretly manipulating it behind.
"Has the poisonous lady also fallen to the mortal world?"
Sauron looked at the information in his hand and muttered, "Except for the Poison Lady, there should be no one who can spread the plague so quickly. ”
The plague infected crops.
From the edge of the Elven Forest to the outskirts of the Ice Realm, and then to the south of the Northland Towers, all were affected by this terrible plague. Crops die overnight, and what is even more frightening is that if these infected crops are eaten, new diseases will soon break out, and many people who are not infected at first will get sick because they eat infected animals and plants. The only thing to be thankful for is that although the epidemic was widespread, it did not cause too many casualties.
The main reason is that during the infection period, the most people who are infected with the disease are fever, and they do not die immediately.
This gives all sides time to react, this world is magical, and the priests rely on the spell of 'removing disease' to cure this plague very quickly.
The only problem is that many people get infected again after treatment.
"It should be the work of the Plague Goddess!"
Sauron couldn't help but think of the god of hunting, Marat, who lost most of his power when he first fell into the mortal world, so the hunting god Marat caused great turmoil in the south, and the hunters constantly used bloody sacrifice rituals to please this god and restore its lost divine power.
The behavior of the poisonous lady should also be true.
She spreads plague to the horror of mortals, as the faith generated by fear can also restore her lost divine powers.
The plague is still under control.
It is estimated that Ms. Poison will not dare to offend too many forces at the same time, otherwise, it is estimated that many churches will unite against her.
Arendelle. Palace.
At this moment, the eldest princess had regained her former majesty, and in front of her was a group of Arendelle's court ministers, she glanced around, and commanded in a deep voice, "Immediately block the passage of Icewind Dale." ”
"Order the army to be stationed at the Coldwind Fortress in Glacier City, and not allow anyone to pass through until the plague crisis is over."
"Mobilize the physicians and priests."
"Order the burning of all crops in the plague area, and the royal family of Arendelle will come to their aid for the next winter."
One order after another was given.
Soon, Arendelle's army was mobilized, cutting off the passage to Icewind Dale, and now the plague is only raging on the edge. But if it spreads to the city, the disaster will be quite terrible.
Sauron was also very wary of this.
Almost immediately, he contacted the intelligence network on the South Coast, and immediately issued an order for everyone to be on guard, and any cultists who might be the Goddess of Plague to be on guard.
Now I just hope that the Plague Goddess knows that it is enough, otherwise they will have to attack it en masse.
………………
The City of Harvest.
Almost as soon as the plague appeared in the north, the agricultural church was also rapidly functioning.
Speaking of the hatred between the Plague Goddess and the Goddess of Agriculture, it has to start with her mother, Mother Earth, the ancient deity who has always hated the Plague Lady because she spreads terrible plagues in nature. The beautiful natural environment has been destroyed. After Mother Earth gave her priesthood to her daughter, now the Goddess of Agriculture, the Goddess of Agriculture also inherited an antagonistic relationship with the Plague Lady, and the two churches have been at odds for thousands of years. It's basically a situation where you have to fight when you meet.
Now.
Inside a splendid temple, a group of priests who believed in the goddess of agriculture had gathered.
As far as the eye can see, almost all of them are bishop-level priests, and many of them are strong above the legend level. The goddess of agriculture has a wide range of beliefs, and her church has a fairly large druidic order.
"Here. Here, and here. ”
A middle-aged druid with a majestic face pointed to the map in front of him and said in a deep voice, "There are traces of the activities of the fallen people of the Plague Church here. The Goddess has sent an oracle to stop the spread of this plague at once and strike a blow at the power of the enemy. ”
"I'm afraid this year's harvest has already been affected."
"I hope that the dioceses will be able to stock up on food, and in the event of a famine, the Church will immediately give relief to the victims."
………………
Similar scenes are happening everywhere.
Basically, the churches affected by the plague, whether it is the good camp or the evil camp, are full of hostility towards the plague goddess, although she has recovered a lot of strength with the help of the spread of the plague, I am afraid that she has gained a lot of hatred this time.
Maybe she simply doesn't care.
Because the goddess of plague has always been feared, hated, and feared, even the gods are a little jealous of her.
Because she has inherited a part of the power of the [God of Decay].
The first generation of Lady Luck died because of the [God of Decay], and then the current Twins of Destiny were born, and the [Rotten] priesthood began to fall to others from that time, and was eventually inherited by the Goddess of Plague.
The goddess who specializes in the use of poison has a large number of assassins as followers, and she has always been invincible in mortal battles.
………………
South of Fallen Leaf City.
The smell of blood permeated the woods, and corpses could be seen on the ground, as hunters harvested the lives of their enemies.
"I trust that my lord will be satisfied with the sacrifice we offer!"
A one-eyed gnoll smiled at the corner of his mouth, wielding a dagger and slitting the throat of the elven captive in front of him, and in front of them was a wounded black cheetah, a ferocious beast that was now badly wounded and easily captured by the hunters.
Shadow Leopard.
A creature born with an incredible 25 points of agility as an adult, they are the Elven Ranger's favorite companions.
"Maybe you should hunt a dragon."
The stout ogre came to the one-eyed gnoll's side, and its eyes had a sparkle of wisdom unlike any other of its kind, and suddenly, the mace in its hand flung out, and roared angrily, "Damn werewolves! ”
"That's the dinner I prepared!"
"Don't touch that elf! …… I'm going to take it back for a late-night snack! ……”
………………
Chaos has begun to spread.
And the first thing that caused all this was the gods who confused the evil camp. (To be continued......)
