The soldiers on the perimeter saw the plague rats swarming in front of them, some of them grabbed their swords and shields, while others panicked and wanted to run backwards. Ordinary swords posed little threat to these little things, and the plague rats lightly drowned the outermost soldiers, crawling all over these filthy, bloodthirsty critters that tore through the weak parts of their armor and then gnawed at the fresh flesh below. The terrifying howls of the attacked soldiers shocked the will of the others to resist, and only the paladins illuminated by the Holy Light could support it a little, but it would not last long.

Most of these brave soldiers have faced more formidable enemies, but their training is completely devoid of this small mad rat. Even the commanders did not have the experience to deal with such an attack.

Most of the plague rats easily passed through what humans thought were absolutely impregnable defenses, and continued to run forward, their sharp fangs and claws ready to bite at any living creature they saw—like the dense crowd of humans waiting to be blessed in the square.

It was then that Archbishop Alonsos Fao was the first to step forward. For the first time, the old man looked angry in front of people, and he struck the ground with all his might, holding up his own staff, and cried out loudly: "Evil is gone! ”

Circles of pale golden ripples spread out around him as the center of the circle. The human who was passed through felt as if they were soaking in a hot spring, but to the plague rats, it was more terrible than strong acid. Jiang Weihan saw from a distance that the plague rats and the various beetles mixed in them melted in the ripples of holy light, and they were completely purified, and there was not even dust left.

After Archbishop Fao made a move, the spell prepared by Antonidas also shot. The powerful mage summoned several bursting ice flowers in the outermost places where the plague rats appeared, just as countless mages were constantly releasing frost novas, and the exploding ice flowers completely froze the plague rats that followed them in the deadly ice slag.

Jiang Weihan was not idle either, he used the abilities granted to him by the Mark of Cenarius to summon a hurricane. He sacrificed the spell's great lethality to greatly increase its range. If, in normal times, the storm contained in such a spell would not even sweep away a newborn baby, it would be powerful enough against small animals like plague rats and beetles. The hurricane roared around the survivors' perimeter, forming an impenetrable line of defense, and even if some of the plague rats escaped the archbishop's light, they would be swept into the sky before such a gale.

After the crowd, who had been frightened by the appearance of the plague rats, found that these terrible little things had been stopped from the crowd and that they were still safe, the panic finally did not spread. The syllables of the sacred inscriptions recited by the three angels on the central platform were not disordered, which also appeased the survivors' feelings in a large way.

As more mages and paladins joined the fray, the sudden chaos was finally brought to an end. The outermost soldiers were bitten by the harsh bites, and some even had almost no bones left in their tattered armor. The number of casualties was a swelling of anger in Uther's blue eyes: more than a hundred soldiers were killed and more than twice as many were wounded. And every injured person can turn into a ghoul. Because these plague rats carry such a clear plague cloud on them.

Such casualties reveal flaws in the blessed rite of holiness.

Da Sohan almost gritted his teeth and roared, "That traitor, it must be that traitor who leaked the secret again!" ”

Uther frowned, "We need to speed up the investigation, otherwise all our actions will be exposed to the sight of the Cursed Sect." It's too bad for us. ”

"After I catch this person, I will definitely let him taste the righteous wrath!"

"Be sensible, D'Azohan or your anger will cloud your judgment." Archbishop Fao tapped the enraged Da Sohan with the tip of his staff. If he hadn't stepped up in the critical moment, perhaps the casualty toll would have doubled. This revered spokesman for the Light has shown awesome prowess before the people.

Da Sohan said ashamedly, "I know, teacher! ”

Seeing that the archbishop seemed to be even weaker, Uther said with concern: "Your body is ......"

"It's okay, don't worry about me. Do what you have to do! ”

The archbishop was obviously weak, but he seemed to be in high spirits, and Uther did not dare to guess what this meant, and he forced himself not to think badly, and then he personally pressed the formation, and arranged for the army to escort the blessed people to the main entrance. The doors that had been closed for so long were reopened, and most of the people who left the city had to start their lives anew, but nothing was more precious than being alive. After so many days of fear, they could finally rest.

Uther had informed the Chapel of the Light's Wish and the nearby watchtower that they would send someone to escort the refugees to the Hand of Tyre, where they would be well protected and fortified.

It is clear that the blessing ceremony cannot be carried out today, because there are still holes in the defenses around the square. Today's plague rat attack is a place that has not been taken into account. If it weren't for the timely rescue of the archbishop, the ** division and Jiang Weihan, I am afraid that most of the refugees gathered in the square would have become infected - it would be really terrible.

After Uther left, the Prince of Arthas and the Night Hunter Wayne returned together, and Jiang Weihan was a little confused: how did they collide together?

Arthas greeted him, looking in high spirits, and said to Jiang Weihan, "Your Excellency, your Lady Wayne is really amazing—thanks to her help, we have gained some great results from the underground. ”

Later, during the prince's explanation, Jiang Weihan learned that Arthas was once again involved in the encirclement and suppression of the Cursed Sect, and at first he and his guards seemed to be led by the nose, and there was little decent gain. As he chased after a few members of the Cursed Cult, an unexpected figure stopped the fleeing evil cultists from the other side. After Arthas led the men around, the group of evil beings consisting of two cursed sect warlocks and a group of ghouls had been killed and wounded by a woman with a crossbow.

Then the prince worked with her to get rid of the rest.

Arthas naturally knew about the heroine under Jiang Weihan, who had only recently appeared, so he proposed cooperation. Vane then gave the prince a real glimpse of what it meant to be a Night Hunter: in just two hours, they had strangled hundreds of Scourge members, including a dozen members of the Cult of the Damned. That's a lot more than his total record in a few days, and he can't help but admire Wayne's quality.

Because Wayne always accurately captured the summary of the cultists, the prince became a thug convinced, and then at the same time as the plague rat riot, they reaped the biggest catch of the day: Vayne found a group of gathered cultists, who prepared a large amount of plague venom and summoned almost all the filthy creatures in the sewers, using spells to put them to work, carrying the terrible plague to attack the survivors gathered on the ground waiting to be blessed.

Fortunately, most of the rats were dispatched at that time, otherwise the prince's guards and Vayne would really not be able to deal with the frenzied surge of rats. After a period of fighting, they captured two live mouths and obtained the much-needed plague venom in the real yàn chamber, which was as much as a bucket!

Jiang Weihan did not hesitate to praise this, he knew that the prince was a person who was very eager for the approval of others: "Your Royal Highness the prince, you have really solved the current urgent need!" ”

Arthas did his best to keep his composure, but the reward was a huge achievement. Although his status has doomed him to not need to make meritorious contributions, he still craves the recognition and praise of others, which will make him fully feel that he is fully capable of the role of a good prince, and in the future, he can also be a good king who is not inferior to his father.

After some politeness, before Jiang Weihan left with Wayne, the prince was still a little reluctant: "Miss Wayne, I'm looking forward to working with you next time!" ”

Wayne nodded at Arthas, not saying anything, she was originally a woman who was not good at dealing with people, and such a reaction was expected by Jiang Weihan. But Jiang Weihan thinks that Alsace has some different feelings?

"This must be a delusion!" Jiang Weihan tried to put Wayne's image with Arthas, "It's not a good match at all!" Then I felt like I was just worrying.

"Wayne, I have something for you to do." Jiang Weihan turned to business and said his suspicions about Gavin Rader in a safe place, "You go and find out if there is anything wrong with him." If not, follow the list I gave you. He handed Wayne the list of thirty people he had in his hand.

This time, the plague venom and live mouth that Alsace brought back was indeed great news. Da Sohan had prepared eighteen kinds of torture for the captured cultists, and it was clear that these culprits of the entire Stratholme disaster would not be so happy.

On the other side, the alchemy room and the church are no longer threatened by the depletion of real objects. Now they can unravel the secrets of the plague to their heart's content.

It has only been two days since Sinjid joined the Alchemy Room, but now everyone no longer dares to look at this "bandage man" with a very ugly face wrapped in bandages and disgust. The Man with Bandages was the nickname Sinjid had just acquired, but now those who worked with him were afraid to use the mocking name, secretly as well.

The first words of this crazy alchemist when he joined the real yàn room shocked everyone:

"Where is the plague venom? Give me a taste, ah, it must be delicious......"
