Chapter 265: Enraged Arthas
After the last zombie hour, Lordaeron became more vigilant about the care of the wounded, and a large number of priests took action to inspect the wounded barracks as soon as the Wall of Greymanne was disturbed. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The Light is the nemesis of this negative energy, and as long as there is a priest purifying it, this kind of thing will not happen again.
At this time, His Royal Highness Arthas, Prince of Lordaeron, was holding his breath in his heart.
If all those who have seen this prince were asked to describe Arthas in one word, the answer for most would be "justice".
When Terenus offered Arthas to join the Silver Hand, Uther Lightbringer was not very reluctant, as it would be difficult for the Silver Hand to remain neutral once the Prince joined.
However, considering Arthas's talent and status, Uther could not find a suitable reason to refuse, and finally had to accept the offer.
Since the accession of Arthas is inevitable, it would be nice to find a way to keep Arthas righteous!
With this in mind, Uther began to teach Arthas carefully.
From an apprentice paladin to a true paladin baptized in the Cathedral of the Light, Uther taught Alsace for seven years.
For seven years, Uther continued to instill in Alsace the concept of justice.
Arthas was also taught by Uther and became a paladin who adhered to the dogma of justice.
It was for this reason that Terenus had a great headache, and he did not expect Uther to put himself on the table in this way—justice is a valuable quality, but if a king adheres to justice, it will be detrimental to the expansion of his country.
For this reason, Terenus wrote to Arthas several times, repeatedly emphasizing that "we, the family of Minethir, rule with wisdom and strength—and while I am glad that you stand up for justice, as a king you must win the support of the people." ”
Unfortunately, Arthas apparently did not realize that the way Terenus won the support of his people was to expand his territory, and he began to pursue "goodness".
The last zombie incident ended due to the appearance of Orgrim, in fact, everyone remembers this incident in their hearts, but now the focus is on orcs.
But Alsace said he couldn't accept it.
That's hundreds of innocent wounded!
In this way, he was turned into a zombie by evil, and he had to endure the pain of attacking his colleagues!
Although the camp seemed unassailable now that the priest had dispersed, Arthas was looking forward to the presence of the man behind the scenes.
Even after so much war, Arthas has begun to wonder about the cause of death of those paladins in Gilneth!
That's when a new situation arises.
A large number of Lordaeron warriors turned into zombies overnight, screaming and trying to gnaw at all living creatures in their vicinity.
To make matters worse, the horses were also heavily infected - the infected horses were stripped of their flesh and turned into skeleton horses!
Among them was Alsace's own warhorse, the Invincible.
It's a pity that these zombies not only have stiff joints, but also move slowly, even the elderly are not as good, and they were quickly dealt with by the army led by Arthas, and even many soldiers who were not seriously infected were rescued by the red dragon's medicine and became normal people.
The cause of the infection was quickly identified - the third batch of military rations that had been transported to the front was contaminated.
The news quickly reached the upper echelons of the alliance.
More than 1,000 soldiers were infected this time, although they were only zombies with low mobility after infection, and only more than 300 people died in the end, but the situation is still extremely unoptimistic, after all, not all places have a large number of priests.
Lordaeron terminated Orgrim's pursuit and vowed to investigate the matter thoroughly.
Although Terenus had a vague sense that this seemed to be related to Kel'thugad's experiment, he gritted his teeth and splashed the dirty water on Gilneth as soon as possible - after all, it was Gilneth who was fighting Lordaeron now, and it seemed reasonable to speculate from this point of view.
As for those zombies, Terenus really didn't pay attention to it, and the zombies won't have much impact for the time being, and when the war is over, once he announces Kel'thugad's experiment, the great magician will definitely die, and after losing the source, those zombies will naturally not be produced again!
Unfortunately, Terenus was wrong.
The day after the infection, Marganis appeared beneath the Greymane Wall and transformed one of his lieutenants into a zombie in the presence of Arthas.
Now Arthas was furious.
"Die, demon—the hammer of sanction!"
A war hammer of holy light rained down from the sky and smashed directly into Malganis.
The Dreadlord grinned, turned into countless bats, disappeared in place, and then reappeared beside him.
"Poor little prince, put away your useless light, you are destined not to catch me—you will see me turn everyone into zombies in your presence, and you can only weep cowardly and reduce them to ashes one by one."
"Maybe you don't know yet, do you? Just north of you, in the Shadowfang Castle, where all the inhabitants have become Death Knights - what will my righteous little prince do? I put a lot of thought into it, and it wasn't such a half-finished product, but such a complete body. ”
Marganis raised his hand, and the shadow quickly drew a summoning circle on the ground, summoning a death knight.
The Death Knight, riding a skeletal warhorse, began to charge towards Arthas.
Undeterred, Arthas swung his hammer infused with holy light and fought the Death Knight.
It was a crushing battle, with the Death Knight's shadow spells having little effect on Arthas, and the hand-to-hand combat was a bit stiff, and finally Arthas's warhammer shattered the Death Knight's head, and the Light purified the poor gladiator who had been at Dunhold Castle.
"Hahahaha, pretty good gladiatorial performance!" Marganis began to applaud, "Looks like our little prince isn't too good - it's just amazing, I can watch dozens more shows like this - I don't think you're going to leave the Death Knights of Shadowfang Castle alone, right?" ”
"Don't blame me for not reminding you, the people killed by these death knights will also become zombies, hahaha!"
Laughing, Marganis flapped his wings and soared into the air, leaving Arthas with only gritted teeth.
"All the soldiers of Lordaeron, set off to the north and target Shadowfang Castle!"
"I swear as Prince Lordaeron that the demon will pay for his deeds - justice will be served, and I will defend my people to the death!" (To be continued.) )
