On the walls of Zumashal, the troll skeletons and Zumashal's soldiers have been fighting fiercely for hours. The troll skeleton has been attacking frantically with its powerful combination ability.

Except for the Holy Light and the mage's ordinary attacks, it is difficult to actually kill these skeletons burning with illusory flames, and the soldiers can only use their strength to smash the skeleton gate down the wall.

Although the skeletons will fall apart in the face of a huge impact, these scattered skeletons or recombination, and those that cannot be combined will also be used by the skeletons to build bone ladders for siege.

From the very beginning, the soldiers on the city walls were under tremendous pressure, and if it weren't for the fact that Rivendell was guarding a large part of the city walls, Zumashal's morale would have been at a minimum.

No skeleton could resist Rivendell's holy light, and pieces of skeletons turned to powder under the dazzling golden light. With him as the center, a faint golden aura enveloped the soldiers on the city wall, which could significantly increase the combat effectiveness of the soldiers.

Although he is a legendary powerhouse, after all, he has just broken through, and he is already exhausted after several hours of continuous consumption. The reason why he is so desperate is to guard the safety of the city, but what he hears now, there is actually a plague in the city.

His first reaction was impossible, because he felt that Brad had taken everything into account, and that his wife would not have any problems as long as she managed it step by step.

Martial law was issued last night, and no one was allowed to leave their homes, and those who were infected were also gathered together and took dream potions in batches, not to mention that their dosage could not have broken out of the plague now. Even if it broke out, they would not be able to form any storm in the face of powerful troops and artillery fire.

Could it be that this is an excuse for the old marshal to deliberately transfer himself back, after all, Brad wanted to keep all the legendary powerhouses alive. A strong man ready to take on trolls. But he didn't want to see the sacrifice of the soldiers without being the will of the old marshal, and he stubbornly refused to push off the battle line.

But then he reacted. He knew Brad wouldn't make such jokes.

"Change the guard!"

He let out a loud roar, and a large number of soldiers immediately rushed up not far away, taking his place. Rivendell ran quickly towards Command.

And Brad was also walking towards the city with people, and Rivendell hurriedly ran over and asked, "Old marshal, what is the situation?" ”

Brad remained calm, but anyone could see the anger in his heart.

In fact, he can't blame Brad for being angry, he thinks that his arrangement is not seamless, but he will not make such a heavy mistake. Apparently something has changed in the city. More precisely, there is a problem with Zumashal's interior.

"I don't know the specific situation, your wife just sent someone to report. It is said that there was chaos in many parts of the city, and the source of the riot was actually the citizens of Zumashal, who had all turned into ghouls. ”

Rivendell's face was full of surprise: "How is this possible, aren't the druids checking out the people who have been infected with the plague, are they ......?"

Although he didn't say it, Brad understood what he meant. It's not like Rivendell doesn't fully believe in the druid's detection methods.

Others don't know, but he knows very well. Jasper Collar has been studying the plague for several years, although there is no medicine to crack the plague, but if there is even a problem with the detection, it is too much to underestimate the achievements of Jasper Collar for so many years.

Merely. He didn't defend himself, and besides, it didn't work. Any reason is possible when the truth is not known.

Brad shook his head and said, "I have to meet your wife, let her tell me the specific situation." But now this is the case. But as you might have guessed, there could be an outbreak of plague among the untested residents, and there is also a possibility that a new or unknown source of the plague is infecting the residents. And the intensity of the virus in this source of the plague is much greater than the original situation. ”

With a heavy heart, the two of them set off on the battlefield. Soon came the town hall. Along the way, the originally quiet city also became noisy, and even saw a lot of ghouls, and Brad and they took care of them.

In the council hall, the baroness was giving orders with an anxious face, and it was obvious that she was in a very bad shape.

"What the hell is going on, ma'am?" Rivendell asked anxiously.

The Baroness, now pale and sweating, saw Baron Rivendell and Brad and said bitterly, "We have been betrayed. ”

A flash of lightning flashed in Brad's mind, and he said in a deep voice, "Could it be that those nobles who have been hit by the plague did it?" ”

The Baroness nodded with difficulty and said, "Yes." ”

A hint of sternness flashed in Brad's eyes, and he said in a cold voice: "Aren't they being left behind by the guards, didn't you arrange surveillance and imprisonment?" ”

"They are all heroes of this city, Zumashal has developed to the point where they are unbreakable, many of them are not so much my men, but our brothers and sisters, they beg me, let me give me an evening to spend with my family, and you also said that the plague will not break out in these two days......" the baroness said bitterly, those aboriginal nobles are okay, but betrayed her, betrayed the whole city and many elders of the glorious guild who were stricken by the plague. Their betrayal took a big toll on her heart.

"Even if it were, it couldn't be so powerful, could it?" Rivendell still didn't understand that in his opinion, even if the nobles rebelled, it was nothing.

Brad sighed and said, "They must have taken refuge in the Cursed Sect and were responsible for spreading the plague, right?" ”

Brad knew very well that many of Zumashal's wells and granaries had been plagued by the gods, and that the citizens of Zumashar or some officials were members of the Cursed Cult, and it was not impossible to find out about them, but there was simply not enough time. Busy migrating, and then fighting with the Broken Jade Undead. It is also necessary to settle the people who have been hit by the plague, and all of them are incompetent.

It's just that what Brad didn't expect was that the vice president of the Brilliant Guild was so kind to a woman, and in the end he still let the Cursed Sect take advantage of it.

Rivendell looked at a man who was being pressed by the guards with a hideous face, and shouted, "Daryl, why did you betray me and our city? ”

Darryl had clearly resisted as much as he had been captured, his body covered in scars, and a hint of madness flashed in his eyes at Rivendell's words.

"Why betrayed you, why betrayed our city? That's a good question, and you also said that this is our common city. Over the years, I have given everything for the city, I have put all my possessions on the construction of the city, and I have traveled around the world in order to make the city more prosperous. For what, not just for the endless glory, not for the day when I return home and make the old man in the family who has never looked down on me regret, not so that the bastards in the family look up to me and prove that they were wrong to choose my brother as the patriarch, only I can prosper the family. ”

Hearing his hysterical cry, a gloomy look flashed in her eyes, and she sighed and said: "Even so, you shouldn't betray everyone, do you know it, because of you, tens of thousands of innocent people have become undead." And how many innocent people have been harmed by these undead? ”

Daryl laughed and said, "Why not, do you know, I was elected as the deputy city lord today, the head of business, and I originally planned to return to the family at the end of today." But the damned plague broke out, that's all, we still have to abandon the city, I even fell for the plague, and the old marshal also said that he had no way at all. I don't want to die, I'm going back to the family to make them look good. I'm unwilling, I've worked hard for so many years......"

"So you compromised when the people of the Cursed Sect found you, and you used your position to spread the plague in order to survive?" Brad asked.

"Sure enough, it's the old marshal, and I can't hide anything from you." Darryl smiled and said, "What you said is not bad at all, in fact, I really wanted to spend the last night with my family last night, I haven't been with my wife for a long time, and I have forgotten how long I haven't told my daughter a story." However, in my most desperate moments, the people of the Cursed Sect found me. They said they could keep me and my family alive, as long as I used my influence to infect at least 10,000 people with the plague. ”

"You're damned!" Rivendell gritted his teeth.

"yes, I'm damned." Two lines of tears welled up in Daryl's eyes: "But my wife should be damned, she's so kind." She always calmed me down whenever I was in pain, I was often away from home, but she never complained and kept the house in order. Her wish was to go to the Temple of the Moon God, she was a devout believer in the Moon God, this was her wish when she and I got married, but I postponed it for ten years for my ideals. My little daughter is so lovely, whenever I come back from the outside, she can melt me away with a single dad, she's only seven years old, and she wants to be a great wizard. But as soon as it was over, our family was stricken with the plague. But you told me that there was nothing I could do, I could only go home and die. I'm unwilling......"

Although he had experienced the plague of his previous life and had seen too many life and death partings, Brad still felt blocked in his heart when he heard his painful narrative. It's just that this doesn't make Brad forgive him.

He is pitiful, but he is hateful. He survived for his family of three, but the price was 10,000 people, how miserable a family is this. What's more, Brad knew very well that there was no cure for the plague.

"You have killed so many people for an illusory antidote, and I have clearly told you that there is no antidote to the plague in this world. I don't have the Jasper Legion, and neither will the Scourge. ”

"No, you're lying to me, aren't you?" Daryl said in fear: "You kill me, kill me, but I beg you to save the wife and woman of Ou, they don't know anything, they are innocent ......" (to be continued......)
