32. Cursed Sect (changed)

Gianna and Arthas, the two young couples, may not have seen each other for a long time, or are in the period of you and me, the two of them are unusually sticky, and they feel that it is not enough to stick together all the time. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The two completely ignored Zhang Li and hundreds of soldiers behind them, those soldiers were okay to say, they tried to stay away from the two of them, the captain was very discerning, and left a good space for the bosses to be two, but Zhang Li was hateful, he followed closely behind the two and acted as the perfect big bulb, the two sometimes said a few words of love This guy couldn't help but sneer, which made the couple very embarrassed.

For Zhang Li, this is just him having fun, and it is sometimes a very interesting experience to make people suspicious, he has no intention of breaking them up, in fact, he doesn't need to break them up, these two people are destined not to be together, whether it is in the original timeline or Zhang Li's script, Alsace's fate is already doomed.

"Your Royal Highness, the bridge in front of you seems to have been destroyed." One of the scouts who had cleared the way in front came back and said respectfully to Arthas.

"Oh?" Alsace was very annoyed (presumably due to Zhang Li), and he said unhappily: "Can it be repaired in a short time?" ”

The soldier shook his head and said, "I'm sorry my Highness, it's impossible, but according to the locals, the shallows not far away can be waded through, and I think we can cross the river from there." ”

"So what are you waiting for, soldier, let's hurry over."

"Yes! Your Highness! The soldier took the order and left.

In the plot of WOR3, they will encounter a group of robbers looting civilians when they detour, and after killing the robbers, they can also get a treasure, as if it is a bottle of medicine, of course it will not be the case in the real world, the robbers see the army coming faster than anyone else, and the fluttering will run away, Arthas just wants to chase and can't catch up, the robbers are already familiar with the road, and when they see the large army, they immediately disperse and flee, so that you don't know who to chase.

"Forget it, Captain, you leave two hundred soldiers to help them deal with these robbers, the others follow me, and we cross the river!" Arthas gave the order on the spot and threw the mess at his lieutenant.

The unlucky adjutant could only take the order and take two hundred soldiers to encircle and suppress the robbers, but in Zhang Li's opinion, in the end, this adjutant would probably set up a bounty task and let the adventurer go to the outlaw to do his work, because when he was in Steinbrand, Zhang Li saw many bounty tasks in front of the city hall, some were to kill fugitives, some were to kill some powerful beasts, such as black bears and snowmen, and many adventurers who boasted some strength were lingering there.

Soon, Arthas and his party had crossed the shallows and came across the river, and far away they could see a village on the opposite side, where the local garrison was fighting something strange.

That thing is obviously not human, they are like walking corpses, many of these guys are festering, covered in mud, and some are still wrapped in shrouds, as if they have just crawled out of the grave, their combat power is not good, not to mention the slow mobility, and even the strength is very poor, compared to an ordinary human woman, only some of them look relatively fresh and have a little combat effectiveness.

But there were so many of them, hundreds of them were constantly pounding the defense line of dozens of soldiers, and if it weren't for the strong shield defense of the soldiers, they would have been bitten alive by these creatures.

"What are these things? Dead person? How can they move? Jaina! Is this some kind of black magic? Arthas angrily gave the order to attack, then turned to Gianna and asked.

Gianna's face was also ugly, she couldn't help but look at Zhang Li, and then said to Arthas: "I, I don't know, maybe it's some kind of necromancy, this kind of spell is a forbidden spell in Dalaran, so I don't know very well. ”

After a while, the weak scum of the undead were cleaned up by the soldiers, and they were able to rely on the number of people to bully and bully you with fewer people, once the number difference was only a few times, defeating them was just easy and pleasant, the only thing to be careful about was that the conventional vital points could not kill them when attacked, even if they were two halves of the body, their upper bodies could still move, and only by destroying most of their bodies or directly hitting their heads could they completely take them away, the older the undead bones, the more brittle they were, Unless it is able to awaken its will and then absorb the dark energy to strengthen itself.

"Thank you from the bottom of my heart, my Highness, that many of the villagers have suddenly gone mad, they have turned into such monsters and started attacking us, and many dead people have also crawled out of their graves." The garrison was sweating profusely, and if Arthas didn't come again, they would have to flee temporarily, but in Lordaeron, the fate of the deserters was not good, and the fines were light for several years.

"What the hell is going on? Why did they become like this? Arthas asked.

"My Highness, I don't know, they were fine in the morning, and then suddenly it was like this, I suspect that the plague of Andohar has infected them, and in order to prevent the spread of the plague, I have ordered the destruction of the bridge."

Arthas's face was very gloomy, but he still praised the garrison, "You did a good job, then you and your troops will join us, and we will go to Andorhar to see what is going on." ”

The group hit the road again, and they were attacked by waves of undead, some of whom looked like normal people, but the mad attack still forced Arthas to order the complete destruction of them, and more and more civilians turned into monsters, which gradually replaced the prince's mood with anger.

During this period, Gianna looked at Zhang Li more than once, and stopped talking several times, but in the end she didn't say anything.

Until they came to a large granary, the amazing thing was that the whole land of the granary was scorched, not burned, but a strange scorched earth with the smell of death, and if there was a shaman here, he would find that it was the dying wail of the earth element.

"This land seems to be dying...... Gianna felt everything around her, and finally her eyes focused on the granary.

"Could it be that the barn is the source of the spread of the plague?" Alsace Road.

"Hopefully not, these granaries in Andohar are responsible for the food supply of the entire eastern part of the kingdom, and if there is a problem with these grains, I don't know how many people will be implicated." Gianna said worriedly.

Arthas looked at the ominous granary and ordered the soldiers: "Burn this granary!" ”

"I think someone owes me an explanation." Then he looked at Zhang Li, his eyes were full of vigilance, he obviously hadn't forgotten Zhang Li's action of burning grain.

Zhang Li shrugged his shoulders and said, "I have long known that the spread of this plague is food, in fact, I have already informed you human leaders, but they don't take it seriously, if you don't believe it, you can ask your little lover." ”

Arthas looked at Gianna, who nodded awkwardly, "That's true, but at the time my teacher thought he was alarmist, but he shouldn't think that way now." ”

Zhang Li looked at Arthas innocently, as if to say, look, I am for your good.

"We have to move faster, and hopefully it's still too late." Arthas skipped the question with a gloomy face.

But the situation is very unoptimistic, and there are still a few normal people hiding in the previous village, but the more you move towards Andohar, the more undead there are.

"There's the biggest granary in the neighborhood, we have to speed up!" Arthas commanded.

"Your Highness, the soldiers are tired, I think we should probably rest for a while." The garrison suggested that he had been fighting the undead for a long time, and now he couldn't stand anymore.

"Keep it up! Rest when we burn down the granary! ”

At this time, a scout ran over in embarrassment, "Your Highness! We've found a monster! Oh, my God! I've never seen anything like that! ”

"What monster?"

"I guess you'd better come and see for yourself."

The group followed the scout to a more secluded corner, where they could see what was happening in the granary.

I saw a human mage-like guy walking among the large crowd of undead, these undead did not attack him, but honestly guarded him, and there was a huge stitch monster with two people close to four meters tall by his side.

"It was like a lot of corpses stitched together." Gianna said.

Arthas, on the other hand, stared hatefully at the mage-dressed guy.

"Damn it! Jaina! He must be the culprit! "This guy's fire is so great that he was discovered by that necromancer.

"Oh? We're here, but we're sorry, we still have an important mission to accomplish, so let my pets play with you. ”

This guy waved the staff in his hand, and for a while, many fallen corpses stood up strangely.

"Go inform everyone! We attack! Be sure to kill this evil guy! ”

For the first time, the tired soldiers suffered casualties, and although the trash fish-like undead were nothing, it was difficult to replenish the physical exertion.

A huge abomination hook down, two poor soldiers were disemboweled, the power of abomination of this kind of thing is very great, can be compared to heroic characters, but the defense is far inferior, what is made of flesh and blood, his defense is what it looks like, and there is no healing ability at all, but a big feature of undead creatures is that they don't have to worry about physical strength and no pain, which makes them quite difficult.

In the end, it was Gianna's long-range fireball technique that blew up this guy.

"What the hell is this dark wizard?" After the battle, Arthas asked.

Gianna glanced at Zhang Li a few times, then thought for a moment before saying, "Obviously, he and his entourage are the culprits of the plague incident, maybe we can see him again in Andorhar." ”

"Then let's rest early, maybe we can really find the answer to all this in Andohar."

The next day, Arthas led his troops to Andorhar, but they were too late, it was already a dead place, and the psychic of the Cursed Sect blatantly controlled the undead to move around, and Arthas soon discovered that the undead here were no longer something that his small army could deal with.

"We have to set up a camp here, there are so many undead around, we can't rush forward without backup." Alsace said.

"Totally agree," Gianna agreed.

"Sergeant, give the order, we will camp here, and we will gradually eat away at these undead." Arthas gave the order to the soldiers, but then looked at Gianna and Zhang Li.

"But I'm still worried about the granary, if we move too slowly, maybe the grain will already be shipped to various places, and we need to form an elite team to attack Andohal and burn it."

Gianna naturally has no objections, in fact, these words are just for Zhang Li to hear, Zhang Li didn't do anything along the way, he just watched from the sidelines, he didn't kill any undead, and he didn't contribute at all to eating other people's military rations for nothing, which naturally caused Arthas's dissatisfaction, but fortunately, he was more educated, so he endured it until now.

But in fact, Zhang Li did this for a reason, such as saving the hole cards to catch the enemy off guard, or acting too eye-catching to attract the attention of the Dread Demon King, etc., he would not admit that the main reason was that he was lazy.

Zhang Li shrugged his shoulders and said, "Okay, count me in." ”

And just like that, with the addition of some elite knights, this squad of sharp knives was officially formed, and they carried a lot of liquor and grease with them for the purpose of burning down the granary.

It turns out that the strength of those psychics is weak chickens, they have no other ability than to be able to command the undead, the cursed sect has only been established for less than a year, and they can't train any powerful necromancers, every powerful spellcaster needs the accumulation of knowledge and the precipitation of time, and most of these psychics are some people who are dissatisfied with life, or join the sect in pursuit of "eternal life", and most of them are just some ruffians and hooligans.

The purpose of training these psychics should be to be able to better command the undead, because most of the undead nowadays are not self-aware and can only kill the living instinctively.

But no matter what, the strength of the undead transformed by civilians is indeed not strong, and occasionally one or two strong people are also killed by Zhang Li in seconds, I have to say that although Arthas doesn't like Zhang Li very much, he has to admire Zhang Li's strength.

They made their way into town, targeting several of the town's granaries.

But here they saw an acquaintance, the necromancer, who was also busy in the granary at this time.

Seeing the intruder, the mage was obviously not shocked, but he said lightly: "Hello, children, I am Kel'thugad, now, I give you a warning, leave, your curiosity will lead you to death." ”

Arthas said angrily, "Did you cause this plague!?" Is this cult your masterpiece!? ”

"That's right," said Kel'thugad, "it was I who ordered the psychics of the Cursed Sect to distribute these tainted grains, but I am not the ultimate leader, I serve the Dreadlord Melganis, who will completely purify this continent and turn it into a paradise of eternal darkness." ”

Arthas was furious, and he said, "Melganis? Where is he!? I'm going to kill it with my own hands! ”

"You? You weak human? There's no way you're going to defeat the mighty Melganis, but if you really want to die, check out Stratholme, he should be there, but right now, I don't have time to entertain you. ”

With that, Kel'thugad waved his hand, and the army of the undead behind him swarmed up, and he himself slowly disappeared in front of everyone's eyes.

While resisting the piles of undead, Arthas said angrily: "Kel'thugad! It doesn't matter where you're hiding! I'll find you! And your master! Melganis! I'll kill him too! ”

"Enough Alsace, there are too many of them, we must retreat." Gianna grabbed her sweetheart with a sad face.

Arthas did not completely lose his mind, and after ordering the soldiers to burn the granaries as much as possible, he soon gave the order to return to the camp.

A few days later, little by little, the small forces of Arthas were eating away at the unarmed ghosts of weak chickens. At this time, reinforcements from Uther were belated.

The leader, of course, was not Uther, but an ordinary paladin, also from the Silver Hand, who had arrived with two thousand hoplites to help his prince.

Alsace was soon cleared of Andohar by receiving reinforcements, but unfortunately most of the food that had been burned had already been taken away.

"Pursuit! Intercept these foods at all costs! ”

The army pursued them all the way, but they never found any food, but they found a stitching monster manufacturing factory.

Arthas ordered to attack without even thinking about it, dozens of stitching monsters and psychic tailors who made stitching monsters died in the siege of the army, and here, the necromancer who made Arthas "think about it", Kel'thugad, he was actually here, the prince was "excited", and quickly killed this guy, his strength was a little stronger than the average psychic, maybe the prince's thinking inertia already felt that all psychics were like this, so there was no doubt, but Gianna was even more worried.

Because she had investigated Kel'thugad as early as when she heard Zhang Li's prophecy, she knew that this guy was a very powerful mage, although not as heroic as a hero-level archmage, but also much stronger than her Gianna, but seeing him so weak and powerless here, if she didn't investigate in advance, she might also think that a psychic was like this, but now she has determined that everything that is happening in front of her is just as Zhang Li said, it is out of an evil conspiracy.

But what should she do now? The Lich King's plot had been in the works for too long, and she couldn't do anything about it.

Zhang Li returned to the stage of doing nothing, he was very careful, blocking the breath of his whole body, acting as if he was just an ordinary paladin, because he had discovered that a Dreaddemon had been hidden by Arthas's side, if expected, he was Melganis, he was snickering, looking like he had succeeded in his conspiracy.

And next to Kel'thugad's corpse, his soul was also snickering, but he didn't know what it was laughing at.

But no matter what they are doing, the biggest conspirator has seen everything, and that is Zhang Li.

Although Zhang Li killed the Dreadlord Warimas, but the soul of Warimass did not return to the Twisted Void, but disappeared directly, and the entire Burning Legion did not know that he was dead, the Burning Legion was an endless demon, and no one would care if there was one less weak chicken, so no one could notice Zhang Li, an alternative who had crossed over.
