"In other words, we are not the only target of this plague attack?"

Ares asked thoughtfully.

"Yes, the spread of this plague will be a lose-lose situation, and I have never understood that if this is a new type of virus created by the Lich, then what is its purpose? Could it be to punish some traitor in the Scourge Legion? ”

Standing in the hallway, Whitemayne pondered, but couldn't figure it out. As she herself said, the new plague does not spare even the corpses, which is almost the result of losing both sides, and moreover, this plague is extremely harmful, once the infected person shows symptoms, from the loss of consciousness to the decomposition of the whole body, it takes less than a week. What is the purpose of such a terrible plague being created?

And just when Whitemane and Gianna couldn't understand it, Ares suddenly remembered the two undead that he and Drumm had seen in the small town of Brill that day! Yes, the Forsaken! It has to be them. The Lich King was presumably attacked by some powerful creature, causing the power of the Frozen Throne to overflow, weakening its grip on the undead, which led to the creation of the first Forsaken. Now, perhaps to punish the undead for breaking away from its rule, the lich and necromancers have developed a new plague virus that can kill all undead, including the Forsaken.

This would explain why the new plague spread around Lordaeron's Royal City, including the Scarlet Abbey. Because of the Tifaris Woodlands, the most forsaken people are gathered.

Others don't know, but Ares knows very well that these forsaken are mixed among the undead zombies, and if you don't carefully identify them, you can't tell if they are undead with independent consciousness or minions controlled by the Lich King.

"One more thing you need to pay attention to, Ares."

Whitemayne continued.

"What?"

Ares, on the other hand, was swept away from his own speculation.

"Since the outbreak of the plague, some people in the monastery have begun to talk about you in private, and they say that it is you who brought the plague to the monastery, and there was no such terrible plague and disease before the monastery."

"They are even saying that you are not the real Great Lord, they say that you stole the Ember Bringer."

Whitemane said, saying that she was also helpless about this matter.

"Alas, this is also normal. No matter how hard you try, there will always be people who will be dissatisfied. ”

Ares sighed. Power and power are always what human beings crave, and Ares knows that he occupies the position that some people want to occupy.

"I can help you find these people, but if we want to stabilize the crusaders in the monastery, we must quell this plague."

Whitemane said with a frown.

However, the plague continued to spread, and the number of infected people quickly increased from more than 100 to more than 300, and even the blood-colored doctors who participated in the treatment were infected with such a terrible plague. They were locked up, but they banged on the door like mad dogs, bitten and mutilated themselves. Even tearing the skin off his face with mutated nails. The Scarlet Monastery, enveloped in an atmosphere of terror.

"The antidote must be found at all costs. Otherwise, if it continues like this, the monastery will be finished, and it won't be long before we all have to leave here, and the monastery will become the next Lordaeron ruins. A plague land where only the undead and zombies wander. ”

In the conference room, Drumm walked back and forth irritably, and it had been another half a month since he returned from the Silver Pine Forest, and in half a month, the number of people infected with the plague had doubled. The threat of this plague is clearly more terrifying than that of the Scourge's undead army.

"Ares, Dram, there's a piece of information I don't know if you've paid attention to?"

Just when Ares and Drum were getting upset, a quote from the weaponmaster Herold caught everyone's attention.

"What information?"

"This terrible plague has killed many of our warriors, as well as many of the undead zombies of the Tifaris Woodlands, but, according to the Patrolmen's intelligence, the undead and zombies in Brill have suffered little loss, and they are still entrenched in that deserted town."

"Brill?"

"Yes, the number of undead zombies there has not only not decreased, but there is a tendency to increase."

Herold replied categorically. It was as if he had detected the information himself.

And all these phenomena also made Ares more convinced of his guess.

"Brothers, I think we need to go out."

Sitting at the conference table, Ares pondered.

"To Brill?"

Drum asked.

"Yes, it's that town. Brother, do you remember those two undead that we saw in the town that day? ”

Ares' words made it dawn on Drum.

"You mean they're also one of the targets of this plague?"

"Yes."

Ares replied in the affirmative.

"And their number has not decreased...... Do you want to get the mystery from there? ”

Drum's mind spun quickly, and he quickly understood the purpose and intent of Ares' trip.

"Yes. Brothers, this matter must be kept secret, only the three of us know. Herod, don't mention it to anyone when you go out. Tonight, when Ms. Bai rose, we set off. Destination – Brill. ”

Ares said, gathering the two warriors around him and secretly confessing.

"But...... Ares, there's a question, wouldn't it be too risky for us to do this? Three people, breaking into a town where the undead are entrenched? ”

Drum had some concerns.

"If you want to get answers, you have to give something. Adventure is essential. Two months ago, we passed through that town, which was still desolate, and now, there are a large number of undead zombies, don't you want to know why? ”

Ares asked rhetorically. Drumm was speechless.

"Why don't you let someone else come with us?"

Herold asked.

"The Scarlet Crusaders hate the undead, any undead. We infiltrated Brill to know the secrets of the plague, not to kill them, and kill them and we will find nothing. What do you think would happen if you took a troop and went to Brill? Let me tell you, first of all, the undead there will be evacuated in advance. If they don't evacuate, the Crusaders will slaughter them completely. Although I am a lord, in front of the undead zombies, can I order my men to spare them? However, by killing the undead of Brill, we will once again lose the clue to investigate the plague events. ”

Sitting between Dram and Herold, Ares analyzed worriedly. This is indeed a dilemma. Whether you go or not, it's both right and it's not right. Venture into Brill and you may find the secret to how the plague has stopped spreading, but it's also possible that the three of them will be surrounded by hordes of zombies.
