"He seems to be gone. www.biquge.info"Faced with my question, Gianna replied a little shyly, obviously indicating that the voice was specifically telling me this information through his spell..... I thought, but soon noticed the reality, yes, she was following me..... looking at me, she quickly admitted her mistake, but it was all short-lived, and soon I should explain something to him." "I'm sorry, I feel like you might be in some danger, so..."

"So you hear it all. ”

"Alsace. You seem to be talking about something bad. ”

"You're in Dalaran, haven't you seen his conversation with Antonio?"

"I've heard his prophecies about the end of the world, and Ronin told me earlier that you've been preventing a catastrophe. But now I want to know what you just said, what does it mean that you are also standing on the center line of fate?"

"Well....it seems that Luo Ning is still hiding something from you...."I hesitated and sighed a little when I said this, but I tried to get as close to her as possible to feel her warmth. "Actually, I also hid it from Luo Ning, because....I don't know how to tell you about it. ”

"Arthas, then I'm not going to ask anything. Gianna shook her head, then leaned against me and helped me away with some discomfort, "I think you're tired too, let's go back." ”

In this regard, I can easily feel her disappointment and willingness to really want to crave, yes, it always takes a lot of effort for a mage to fight against his curiosity to suppress this **, and this thing is still about some very sensitive content.

Looking at the only thing I have left, I really don't want to lose anything, or leave anything regretful.

"No, Gianna, I probably won't have time to say it now. ”

"Why do you say that?"

"Because I've been targeted by demons...... They want me to be a kind of puppet to slaughter our people. ”

"Arthas, how is this possible, how could you?"

"No, there is a certain possibility in the face of demonic power....think about the relatives of Ronin who have become undead, maybe I will only be a walking corpse at that time. ”

"Arthas, I think we should be able to avoid it," Gianna thought for a moment, perhaps hearing this result might have convinced him of that will, "by the way, we can go to the fabled continent of Kalimdor to the west, as he said." ”

"Do you think we can go, and even if I wanted to, I am afraid there would not be many followers....", I immediately thought of a more realistic question when I said this, "Gianna, I also want to know what you would do if I became like that." ”

"I don't know....I think there's going to be a way to save you. ”

"If that's the case, you must not be emotional, remember to be true to your faith and your people. ”

I said this persuasively, but to my surprise, Gianna didn't question anything, but asked me the question.

"So, what would you do to me if I became like that?"

"Of course I have the same choice as you, and I hope you will not hesitate when the time comes...."I said this, and I couldn't help but shake my head again, definitely the content of this conversation was a bit deep, and in what Medivan told me at the end, I definitely did not seem to be certain. "I guess that's just the intention of the demons. And I'm prepared, I think it can still be avoided....Gianna, I think some people have warned you too, haven't they?"

"Yes, she told me I wouldn't leave you no matter what. She said this, and then returned to my favorite smile that snuggled up to me, and she knew that the tension just now would always make both of us unhappy, and it would be better for everyone to be like the usual and natural way of mutual favorite. "I'm sorry, I think it's my fault, I shouldn't have come to stalk you secretly...."

Hearing her admit her mistake again, I gestured with some intimacy to him not to continue the conversation. After all, this is only the will of the devil, and it is still in your own hands that really controls your fate.

"Gianna...."

"Huh?"

"Stay with me tonight. ”

"Well...."

After this, we had nothing, but went back to each other tacitly and warmed each other's hearts in need of comfort. As for what will happen tomorrow, I think it's time to decide.

At dawn the next day, we regrouped and continued our march towards Stratholme with our troops and the elven volunteers, and along the way, I couldn't help but think about the question I had been running away from, that is, about the inhabitants of Stratholme, I didn't know how to decide, whether to slaughter the city, or to destroy the creatures when they became undead.

Although the latter would allow us to fight them without any scruples, in the face of Lordaeron's second largest city, I doubt that we can accomplish the task of destroying all the undead with our troops, so the best way is for them to attack them before they are transformed....I thought so, and unconsciously looked at Sylvanas in the attack, I don't think she would mind slaughtering humans who have not yet become undead. But I couldn't help but sigh when I saw Gianna, because I knew that she might well have made another choice for this.....

Perhaps no one cared about the great contradiction in my mind during such a rapid drive, but Crassus, who was accustomed to flying at higher speeds, easily sensed the fluctuations in my heart, but he did not guess my worries, or my other unthought concerns.

"Don't worry, Arthas, I've told Antonio to inform Uther that he'll be leading your main force of Lordaeron here, so we shouldn't have any problems facing the undead of a city.

"Very good...."I nodded my approval of him, but my heart became more entangled, yes, after the main force comes, we will definitely win the final victory with some sacrifices, but if the people in the city do not become undead.... Then I waited for them, and then fell out with Uther, I think this paladin, who has never even seen that kind of terrible undead, has no reason to support me in slaughtering the city, yes, even if he feels it firsthand like me, his faith as a paladin will not attack the unarmed people, and even he will stop my actions. Thinking of this, his face changed drastically, "Damn, when will he arrive." ”

"The Gilneth border is not a short distance here, Alsace. ”

"It's going to be a long time coming, do you think they'll be able to catch this war?"

"It may not be in time, but it's better to come than not to come. ”

"Perhaps. ”

I didn't ask the old dragon any more questions, but continued to urge my war horse to speed up.

Three days later we finally arrived at the realm of Stratholme, a large city in Lordaeron that I didn't frequented for a variety of reasons, and the only few times we were frustrated by various shady tasks and struggles, but this time it was probably more serious than the sum of the previous ones.

When I came to the city, I looked at the self-sufficient peasants who were walking around the fields, and the citizens who smiled and admired us. It's really hard for me to give such an order, and I think there's nothing else I can do about it? Everyone also looked at this scene and couldn't help but look at me again, waiting for my instructions.

"Your Highness, what should we do. ”

"I want to try to see if there is a possibility of recovery. After answering the questions of my subordinates, I immediately turned to Crassus and Ronin, who had recovered from his grief, "I think you can check the situation of the citizens to see if they are all infected." ”

Without hesitation, the two mages dismounted and walked into a mother with four children who was staring at us, yes, like the other citizens, they saw the appearance of our army, they did not mean to be wary or nervous, but felt that it was a kind of security, especially those children who walked around our formation without any worries, maybe these people in front of them were their dreams when they grew up. But the premise is that there is a future....I shook my head and returned to reality, and at this time Ronin and Crassus obviously had the answer.

"Ronin, Master Crassus, I think you should be able to detect if they are infected. ”

I asked, expecting that they would have to look at it in detail before they could come to a conclusion, but the truth is that they did.

"Arthas, I want to say I'm sorry... The people I've observed have all been infected. ”

As soon as he had said that, I immediately tightened my grip on the hammer, but Gianna, who had recognised my demeanor, still held my arm.

"Arthas, you can't do anything to them, they're all like this....

"Then you tell me what to do...."

"Perhaps we can also destroy their leaders, so that no power can transform them into undead. ”

"Well, destroy their leader...", I seemed to realize something when I heard this, yes, killing that Dreadlord would solve this problem once and for all, at least for now.

Thinking of this, I seemed to have found a solution to the problem, so I changed my plan, and led a total of more than a dozen elites of various professions and Crassus to find their lord in the city, while the other soldiers were under the command of Falik to build a fence and other offensive and surround the city, and signaled the nearby villagers to go to the city to hide, not to go out of the city, and the reason was that there was an orc invasion, let everyone enter the city to hide.

In this regard, not a single citizen doubted the authenticity of my news, and the citizens outside Stratholme all hid in panic inside the city, yes, this will ensure that those infected can be controlled first, and even if they become undead and escape, they will be crowded in the small city gates, so that we can have the most advantageous output environment to destroy them. On the other hand, none of that will happen if we kill Rivendell before that.

We walked in like this, and the reason why we didn't have many people with us was because we could leave instantly if we encountered an emergency, and even if we encountered a magical barrier, we could rely on Crassus's transformation to escape. Everything is in place, just waiting for what this encounter with that demon can get in exchange.
