Chapter 30: Darkness Comes (Part II)

At night, an eerie green light came from the blood-colored necropolis, and the low roar of the corpses being pulled up could be faintly heard. When the farmer came running out of breath to report, Ethan Lien had a look of shock and disbelief on his face. He asked the farmer repeatedly, "Are you sure you saw the zombies coming up from the graveyard?" ”

And the answer is the same. Not only a farmer saw it, but even the patrolling Scarlet Crusader soldiers. It's just that because of fear, no one dares to go in and find out.

And what made Ethan Lion feel incredulous was not the high activity of the Death Knights, but the Scarlet Necropolis......

The cemetery was home to the scarlet crusaders and warriors who had died in battle, and the priests of the Scarlet Crusaders had soaked their bodies in holy water to prevent their bodies from being resurrected by the lich. But now, there is such a powerful dark force that can resurrect these corpses and lift them directly from the necropolis.

The next morning, Ethan Lion ventured into the Great Catacombs with dozens of paladins and priests, but what he saw shocked everyone. All the sarcophagi were opened, and the corpses inside were gone, as were the warhammers and swords that symbolized the paladin's glory during his lifetime.

"Damn, we're stockpiling soldiers for the enemy!"

Ethan Lion yelled.

"You can't be blamed for this, no one thought that the dark forces were so powerful. We need to bring the power of the Light together to stand up to this terrifying army. An army of Death Knights. ”

Ares whispered.

Now, the Scarlet Crusaders and the Silver Dawn, the Ash Inquisitors, can be said to have truly reached a tripartite agreement. Fight against the undead of the Catastrophe together, but the force has been almost reduced.

What's more, the recent mysterious Death Knight incident has spooked everyone.

Two days later, something even more terrible happened.

A team of miners working in the mine, without warning, raised picks and shovels and attacked others working in the same mine. What's even more terrifying is that some miners even open their bloody mouths and gnaw on their companions. There is no doubt that these people were infected with the plague, but when they were infected, no one knows......

A sudden series of events caused the soldiers of the Scarlet Crusaders to return to their previous state of madness.

"They may be undead!"

Again it became the slogan of the bloody crusaders to kill. All the refugees who had recently taken refuge in the camps were quarantined, and some radical Scarlet veterans even stormed the quarantine area without permission and massacred the civilians inside. The frenzy drove the Scarlet Crusaders into a frenzy again, even without D'Athohan's instigation and orders.

And this emotion is actually very understandable, when you see the person next to you, one second is still a good human, the next second it becomes a terrifying ghoul, a zombie. In this environment, normal people will be driven crazy. Not to mention these Scarlet Crusader warriors who have long fought against the undead of the Scourge in the Plaguelands.

"This bloody, irrational behavior of the soldiers must be stopped!"

New Avalon, the Scarlet Crusader garrison, Tirio yelled.

"I know, but I can only keep a tight guard, and there is no guarantee that there will be absolutely no such incidents. You know, in these days of fighting the Scourge Legion, basically everyone's psychological defenses have collapsed. Look at the scars on their bodies, you know, the scars in their hearts are much deeper than the scars on their bodies. I will send more soldiers to guard these refugees, but there is no guarantee that there are extremists among these soldiers. ”

Ethan Leon said, frowning. He seemed to know his past mistakes and was trying to make amends. It's just that Ares knows that time is running out for Ethanlion, and at the same time, what he inherits is nothing more than a mess.

Gone are the Scarlet Crusaders of their heyday.

……

"We must ask for more reinforcements, otherwise, we will have to abandon this place, abandon Lordaeron, the Scourge Legion has a conspiracy this time, Naxxramas has arrived, and the Death Knight's Blackebon Fortress has also appeared at the same time. The Scarlet Crusade's presence in New Avalon and Tyre alone will not be able to withstand the general attack of the Scourge Legion, and even if we join the fray, it will probably not help. Once the Scarlet Crusaders have been wiped out, the Scourge will be next targeted. ”

Inside the hut, Ares said with a heavy heart. Although Dai Lin's assistance has been requested, there are many accidents in the fleet at sea, wind direction, ocean currents, will affect the speed of the ship, whether it can reach the coastline in time, no one knows the bottom.

"Can't give up!"

Tyran roared. And almost all the people of Silver Dawn have expressed their position, preferring to die in battle rather than give up Lordaeron.

Ares knew what they were focused on – the Chapel of the Light's Wishes. It's not just a chapel, it's a sacred place for all. Underneath the Chapel of Light's Wish, the remains of three thousand Lordaeron Paladins are buried, and these three thousand Heroic Spirits, these followers of the Light, have turned the Chapel of Light's Wish into a temple that will never be extinguished. It's almost the sustenance of the spirit of the silver dawn. At the same time, these people must not be resurrected by the Lich King.

In the course of history, the Chapel of Light's Wish would be in a major battle a few years later, and the Ashbringer would be purified by Tirio to stop the Lich King's plot to destroy the Chapel and resurrect the corpses of three thousand paladins. But now it seems that it is unknown whether Silver Dawn will survive to that time......

"Then let's think about how to stop this disaster."

Ares said calmly.

"All those who can be united, have united."

Tirio said with a frown.

"No, there is still a force, and we are not going to fight for it."

Ares said, and everyone looked at each other strangely. For a moment, Ares felt like he was almost rebuilding the alliance......

"Where?"

Tyran asked.

"Hammer Dwarf......

Looking at everyone's expectant eyes, Ares swore and said.

"The dwarves? The hope is too slim, the Hammer Dwarves are a self-enclosed race, they live in their own mountains, even the compatriots of Ironforge have little contact, except in the Second Orc War, they have crossed paths with the Alliance, and at other times, even trade is rare, let alone expect them to come to our aid. The undead scourge is too far away for them. Although we all know that the natural disaster undead are not too far away from the Eagle's Nest Mountain. But the dwarfs are notoriously stubborn. Of course, it would be best if we could get their support, we lack air power, and the griffon knights of the Hammer Dwarves can make up for the lack of air power. ”

After Ares finished speaking, Erigor immediately retorted.
