Stratholme has been completely locked down since yesterday, including the large port on the north side of the city, bordering the sea!

Yesterday, Uther Lightbringer sent most of the Silver Hand Paladins to the city with their soldiers to maintain order and conduct a preliminary selection and evaluation of the Lordaerons infected with the undead plague.

It was a huge and complex job, so after a night they didn't work very well, but they had to do it! Gradually, however, they found that the preliminary data they had obtained was strikingly consistent, if not worse, from the previous Alsace lockdown?

Because at this time, the chaos in Stratholmeli has already begun to appear......

More and more undead zombies are starting to appear, and without warning, they begin to kill all living people around them, even their original relatives! And if it weren't for the fact that there were enough soldiers in the city, who reacted quickly enough to kill the sporadic 'converted' in time, I am afraid that the large-scale riots would have spread uncontrollably to the entire city of Stratholme.

However, even if the soldiers try to maintain order in Stratholme, everyone knows that this situation is only temporary, and once those infected break out in a concentrated manner, the situation will be out of control!

After all, Stratholme is too big, this kingdom of Lordaeron, and even the 'pearl of the north' of the entire Seven Kingdoms of the human race, this giant city that used to be responsible for shipping, foreign trade, and trade with the elves of Quel'Thalas, cannot be completely controlled by such a small number of troops in the hands of Uther in front of him.

‘……’

I'm going to say a few words too! ’

'Lord Uther'......'

It's really not good! Some people have started to turn into zombies, and although our men quickly eliminated them, it is definitely not going to work like this......

'Once those plagues of the undead start to break out in large numbers, it's all over! ’

'From yesterday to this morning, our paladins and priests have already gone to check, and judging from the few blocks that were spot-checked, only a very small number of people were not infected, and those who were indirectly infected could barely disperse those terrible toxins with a rescue of holy light, but those who ate contaminated food and were deeply infected were basically hopeless...... Once the plague in their bodies breaks out, once they are transformed into undead, then Stratholme is probably going to be destroyed! ’

'That's right! ’

"Also, there are only so many paladins and priests in our hands, and the holy light is not infinite, and I am afraid that the holy light of a high-level paladin will not be able to save a few people...... So, unless we can have some kind of cure-effect for them to eat now, ......'

Otherwise, the paladin David Croford, who had come to report and wait for new orders, did not continue, because he knew that Uther would understand what he meant.

anyway

In Davi Croford's opinion, the current situation in Stratholm is really a bit shocking, although now they are temporarily in control of the situation in Stratholme, but once those civilians infected with the plague become the new undead, think about their terrible base, think about their power after turning into that unstoppable evil army, even he, a veteran paladin who has fought countless bloody battles with the undead, can't help but feel a sense of horror.

To this day, for the paladin Davi, who is beginning to learn more about the situation in Stratholme, it seems that the fear of yesterday the Prince of Arthas, the frustration of defeat, and the madness of wanting to slaughter the city are not too difficult to understand......

Although all of them knew that the direct and indiscriminate slaughter of the city was an extremely cruel and unjustified act of madness, but, in a sense, if it was to slaughter the city, it would indeed be the most direct and effective way?

in a word

In terms of practicality and effectiveness, it is certainly much more reliable and efficient than the current way Lord Uther locks down the city and identifies the infected!

Of course, Davi Croford was just thinking about it, and he didn't dare to say it, and he believed that other paladins would not dare to say it either, because no one could have made up his mind to give that crazy 'slaughter' order like the Prince of Arthas yesterday.

'Davi Paladin is right, the southwestern city I am in charge of is the same, a day and a night have passed, only a few dozen have been identified that are not infected, as for the others, ......

'It's the same with my side, yesterday I went to check it myself, and out of the thousands of people in three whole streets, I only picked out less than ten ...... who have not been infected.'

'It's really crazy, those demons and the scum of the Cult of the Damned God must not only have started with the grain brought from Andorhar, they must have also poisoned the fish caught in the farms and docks around Stratholme, no one can go without food, and no one will be used to hoarding food at home for more than a month, this kind of thing is really terrible, the Holy Light will not forgive them! ’

'It's the same with the city district we're responsible for......

'I have also inspected the warehouse at the docks, and the crates of fish, the boxes and the bags of salt show signs of the undead plague...... Although my sailors have been able to stop some of the merchants who have been infected with the plague and are trying to flee Stratholme, Lord Uther, I am afraid that we will not be able to stop it in two days. ’

'In less than two days, I think tomorrow at the latest, the situation will be completely out of control!' ’

‘……’

'One of my local lieutenant captains in Stratholme, his whole family was infected, his grandparents, his heroic father who participated in the Second World War, and several brothers and sisters, the youngest was only seven years old, and there was no one left, all of them were deeply infected and completely hopeless, I went to check it myself, and I don't even know how to tell him now......

'Alas......'

'Last night someone tried to escape from the sewers, and was caught by my soldiers, one hundred and thirty-seven, except for two who were sure not to be infected, the rest were kept in my cage in the western barracks, and some of them had become undead when I came, and the rest probably did not last until the sun rose tomorrow. ’

'But I found that the initial undead monsters are not difficult to deal with, they move slowly, and they can't even break through the wooden cage made of logs, unlike that kind of terrible ghoul, even a new soldier, as long as he overcomes that fear in his heart, should be able to outright them in a one-on-one situation? ’

'Hah! Finally, there is some good news! ’

'Wake up, they won't give you a chance to duel one-on-one, and in a day or two, they will probably be dozens of times more numerous than ours!' At that time, with just one charge, our soldiers will be torn to shreds by them! ’

'This ......'

'Guys, I want to correct this: only weak and average civilians can become slow-moving zombies, and those who are strong or originally a strong warrior are not necessarily so. And, unless you chop off their heads, normal attacks won't work against them at all! But our warriors, as long as they are bitten, and they are not treated by the holy light or cleaned their wounds with holy water in a short time, it is dangerous! ’

'Holy water? That's right! Didn't we bring a lot of holy water into the city? The result? ’

'Not very good, it only cleanses the food of toxins and protects the people who are not infected, as for those who are infected......

‘……’

A group of paladins and Lordaeron's generals began to discuss word by word in Uther's tent, but judging from the content of their conversation, both the ugly Uther and Hermione, who was listening, could tell how bad the situation was.

"That's it! Don't talk about it yet......"

Finally, a deep voice spoke out and interrupted everyone's discussion and report, so that the barracks tent finally gradually quieted down.

“……”

The leader of the Knights of the Silver Hand, Uther Lightbringer, the leader of Stratholme and the Marshal of the Eastern Tirisfal Woodland of the Kingdom of Lordaeron, did not rush to speak, he was just in the big tent of the barracks, looking at the huge simple sandbox of Stratholme in a silent daze.

Obviously, after a day and a night, after thoroughly understanding the situation of Stratholme, he finally understood a little bit of why Alsace was going to give such a crazy order to slaughter the city yesterday...... Because, the heavy responsibility and baggage and the serious frustration are indeed a bit overwhelming...... However, unlike before, now the heavy responsibility has been the turn of him Uther to resist.

And, no matter how difficult it is, no matter how bad the situation is, he must resist! The only thing to be thankful for is that he Uther is so old that he has seen every situation, so he is not as easily crushed or extreme as a young man.

Back in the day......

The brutal and bloodthirsty orc army swept through the kingdom of Stormwind, the entire kingdom collapsed, countless people were slaughtered, and some of the lucky refugees had to flee to Lordaeron...... The scene back then was much worse than the undead plague raging now!

Also, in the battle of Blackstone Mountain, Ser Anduin Lothar was killed in front of the battle, and the situation on the battlefield took a sharp turn, and when they were about to be counterattacked by the orcs, and they were about to be crushed, did they grit their teeth and successfully defeat the orcs, and won the final victory in that epic battle?

So

Now the crisis here in Stratholm is just a possible hundreds of thousands or hundreds of thousands of evil undead zombies who are not afraid of death, and that doesn't seem to be a big problem?

Anyway, they simply don't want to go back to Lordaeron and defend the East Tirisfal Glades, which is now renamed the East and West Plague Lands, or run south to the Silver Pines Forest, the Hillsbrad Hills, or even to the Arathi Heights...... He didn't believe it, the undead plague or those cursed god cults and demons could be stronger than the original orcs, and they could directly sweep the Seven Kingdoms?

Of course, there are no Seven Kingdoms anymore.

"Dawei ......"

"How is the screening of infected people going, how many people who are not infected are now screened, and how many are mildly infected and suspected of being infected?"

After thinking for a while, Uther, who felt that the worst thing was a total rout and retreat, finally breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly regained his spirits, and looked at the Paladin general Davi Crofod, who had come to report and looked a little tired.

"My lord, it's useless!"

"We are seriously understaffed, and now that a day and a night have passed, we have only selected almost one-tenth of the entire city, and among the tens of thousands of people initially selected, there are less than 2,000 uninfected people and hundreds of mildly infected people who can be dispelled by holy light......

"We did come too late......"

"Lord Uther, I'm afraid we really don't have much time, we have too few men, we only have less than 10,000 soldiers in total, we have to have more troops!!"

David Croford and the other Paladin generals have calculated that they now need at least 10,000 people to participate in the selection process, another 10,000 to maintain order in the city and fight all the zombies that may be transformed by the undead plague, and then 20,000 or more troops to blockade the entire city and prevent the worst!

Otherwise, they would never have succeeded in stopping the situation here in Stratholme from getting worse! Once the situation gets out of hand, then they will face a situation that no one wants to see.

"Whew! Well......"

"Davi, pass it on, let the citizens who have not been selected return to their homes, do not go out, let them stay at home by themselves, and wait for the rescue of the knights and priests...... Also, be sure to explain to them, try not to eat those grains again, and use the holy water well! We need to put Stratholme under lockdown for three days, and after three days, if they haven't had a seizure, they can leave freely......"

Speaking of this, Uther's originally sparkling eyes could not help but have a gloomy color, for he himself knew that in three days, there would probably not be many living people left in the whole of Stratholme......

But no way, they don't have a choice!

Because, they don't have an effective medicine against the plague of the undead, and they don't have more manpower, and it is definitely impossible to count on the reinforcements sent by Lordaeron, after all, Stratholme is too far away from the Sitirisfal glade, even if it is all cavalry, the march time is at least more than a month! In fact, even the more than 20,000 Lordaeron legionnaires at the junction of Cowlin and the hands of Tyr would not have had time to make it to Stratholme.

"And!"

"Inform the whole city that from today onwards, our paladins and soldiers will be on guard patrol in the streets of Stratholme, and all citizens are invited to return to their homes and lock their gates, and no one is allowed to go out, and anyone who dares to flee their homes without permission will be punished as infected plague spirits!!"

Finally, after much hesitation, Uther gave his final order in a murderous manner.

Since there is no other good way at the moment, he can only plan to trap the citizens who are about to transform into undead zombies in their respective homes one by one, so as to relieve the huge defensive pressure that is coming. While that might have trapped the innocent inside, Uther had no choice now ..... the terrible situation, and although he didn't quite believe that the houses could trap the evil undead, they would always have some effect when the time came.

‘……’

'Yes! ’

'Yes! ’

'Let's go, hold on for another day or two......

'Alas......'

'May the Light shelter all!' ’

The paladins and generals hesitated, but in the end, they didn't say anything, just answered loudly, and then quickly exchanged some information with the other generals and quickly took the order to leave.

“……”

How did it come to this?

“！！”

"Lord Uther, is there really no other way? There are so many people in Stratholme, can't you just think of a way to save them?! ”

When the people in the tent were gradually gone, when the generals were ordered to go out to continue their heavy tasks, when only the Uther Lightbringer and a few guards with resolute expressions were left here, who had been listening from the sidelines and could not interject at all, Hermione finally couldn't help but speak.

Because

She heard the meaning of Uther's words just now, so she couldn't imagine that so many people in Stratholme really planned to give up, and really watched them turn into evil undead under those terrible plagues?

"No, don't say it, it's too late, we've done our best."

"Now it can only be done temporarily, if we can save one count, our paladins will do their best, but our understanding of the plague of the undead is extremely limited, and we can't do more, as for the rest, we can only pray for the protection of the Holy Light......"

"Or, Miss Granger, do you have any good advice on this? If there is, I will accept it with humility. ”

Shaking his head, a somewhat frustrated Uther turned to look at the Granger witch who seemed to be very anxious.

Now the situation is getting worse and worse, the terrible plague is breaking out in front of him, and he Uther can only watch the countless people of Lordaeron become the minions of the undead and demons, if he is not sad, angry, and worried, it must be impossible!

However, he can't help it, in fact, no one can do it now, if there is any other way, then he will definitely listen to it.

"I ......"

All right

Hermione wanted to send someone to find a professional doctor to study the antidote, vaccine, or other treatment options, but after thinking that this was the world of Azeroth, not Earth, she quickly shut up, staring at her, but she didn't know what to say at all.

For that terrible plague of the undead, she only knew that it would make people die and 'resurrect' into terrible undead monsters in a short period of time, and she also knew that they were from that kind of plague steamer?? As for the rest, I really don't know anything about it.

Besides, Hermione Granger was good at spells and memorizing textbooks, even backwards, but if she was asked to study potions or research how to deal with the plague of the undead, it would really be a bit difficult for her.

"Miss Granger, you know what?"

"After understanding the situation in Stratholme, I even thought more than once that maybe Artsace had made the right decision, and while it did seem cruel and crazy, it was in a way the best option for someone other than Stratholme......"

"But, even if I knew, I wouldn't allow him to do that, or even anyone else, even if I knew it was going to get worse, but now we can only stay here and make things worse little by little in our stupid way?"

It's just that no matter what he says or does now, it won't help, anyway, Uther himself is ready for the worst.

"Huh?!"

"What's going on?"

Uther, who was about to say a few words of comfort to the speechless Granger witch, suddenly stopped, because he saw a paladin in the distance galloping towards his big tent in embarrassment, so, knowing that something must be wrong, he didn't think about it, so he got up and walked out quickly, and when the knight got off his horse, he hurriedly asked.

'Oh no! ’

'Lord Uther! The patrol has just sent a message that a terrible demon has appeared in the city of Stratholme, and the other party does not know what means it has used to accelerate the transformation of citizens, and now it has gathered and transformed thousands of undead, and the number is still expanding, and almost all of the vicinity of the North City Pier has fallen! ’

'And! His Royal Highness Prince Arthas has just led his troops into the city, and I heard that he is going to destroy the Dreadlord? ’

The paladin who jumped off the horse didn't think about it, and he didn't care about saluting, so he directly explained the matter clearly in the first time in the most hurried tone.

"What did you say?!"

“！！”

Uther subconsciously glanced at the little witch who ran out and stood beside him, obviously, both of them seemed a little incredulous, at such a critical time, at this critical juncture, that Dreadlord really came to cause trouble for them again?!

"Not good! Alsace they are in danger! ”

"I'm going to check it out! Go, bring my war horse~! And you guys! Go after Croford and prepare them for the worst, and we'll be ready to carry out 'that plan' at any time!" ”

After thinking about it, Uther, who couldn't think of anything to do in his eagerness, gave orders to his guards, and resolutely decided: he must go and see the situation, and if he can, he must stop Arthas! Because, Strathomri is really too dangerous now, especially after that demon came!

Moreover, he always felt that things were not so simple, but he didn't know what was wrong......

'Yes! ’

'Yes!!' ’

Several of the guards answered, and quickly ran towards the stables, apparently preparing to ride after the Clover Paladins, who had just left not long ago, and convey the latest orders of Lord Uther.

“……”

"Lord Uther, wait for me!"

Stunned for a while, she didn't expect that at this time, she could still meet the terrible demon who was difficult to deal with and killed Fleur here in Strathol, Hermione gasped, and quickly decided that she would also go with Lord Uther to have a look.

Because she also remembered that Harry seemed to be on the side of Prince Arthas's barracks, and she was worried about him now, after all, it was the last companion she had left in this world.

——————————

Crash~!

'Great! It's been many days, and it's finally going to be a fight again! ’

'Come on Hermione! ’

'Long live Miss Granger~! ’

'Long live Potter! Rush to the city and take down that demon, we're looking after you!! ’

'Wow oh oh ~!! ’

'Quick! Call George and Fred, the show is about to begin, and they're training with the Hufflepuffs at the Quidditch pitch! ’

'Wait, why should I go?' I don't want to call them!! ’

'They're your brothers!' ’

So what? Why don't you call Ginny to go? ’

'This ......'

'Don't make a noise! Sit down Ron, you're in my way!! ’

‘……’

In the Great Hall of Hogwarts, the teachers and students who were not too busy to see the excitement were in an uproar, and then soon, one by one, the students quickly put away their homework or other things, and quickly sat down in their seats, and more professors and students who heard the news were also hurrying into the foyer of the Great Hall.

“……”

A certain 'White Devil' Dumbledore had already sat in his seat, and compared to those students, his face did not have too much excitement, but a lot of sadness...... Obviously, compared to the ignorance and ignorance who always thought that everything was just a 'fantasy' and went to watch it as a movie, he, the old man, knew and thought a little more.

So, although he was concerned about how things were going, he didn't show excitement or other untimely emotions like those ignorant children.

Swish~!

Suddenly, a burst of arcane energy flashed around Dumbledore, and a little girl who had not seen anyone before and didn't know where to run suddenly appeared in her seat, and then she was still holding a large bowl of chowder noodles in her hands and eating it.

‘……’

( ̄~ ̄) Uh-huh!

"Uh......"

"Well, Professor Annie, I've been wanting to ask all along, do you have any good ideas for a situation like that outbreak of the undead plague?"

"You know, I'm talking about cures or preventives, like Stratholm now?"

Unlike those students who only know how to watch the excitement and don't think about more, Dumbledore is now extremely worried about the undead plague that is raging in the kingdom of Lordaeron! Because he knows that those terrible plagues, they don't just 'exist' on the screen!

And if there is any accident......

Thinking of a little girl who was not very reliable in doing things, Dumbledore always felt that his vague fears were probably not entirely unreasonable.

“……”

?? (?????? ~????)

"No!!"

( ̄~ ̄) Chew!

"At least not the people in the world of Lordaeron!!"

o(?? ^')o hum!

Anne knows that those infected by the undead plague may be able to rescue them a little, but those who eat or are bitten directly are basically not saved, even if it is the Red Dragon Queen, there is no way.

Because ah, that plague came from the hands of the Burning Legion, so neither those paladins nor the kingdom of Lordaeron, nor the magical capital of Dalaran will find any effective cure for the plague of the undead.

Actually, the best way, just like the Alsace yesterday said, is to kill them all and burn them all, so that you can be a hundred! Anyway, those guys have been poisoned for many days, and they must be hopeless! Even if the moon god Elune came running, it didn't work!

Although she, Professor Anne, is sure that she can, there must be a way, but, in the endless plane, in the endless timeline, the people in Stratholme are dead and dead, and they are still dying, and she can't save them from exhaustion! So, for now, for now, those people in Stratholme are used to it, and some things can't be easily changed.

"Ah......h

"Professor Anne, that terrible plague of the dead, they shouldn't have spread to Earth, right?"

This was Dumbledore's concern, after all, those terrible plagues were really terrible, and if they really spread to Earth, the people on their Earth would not be able to withstand it!

Because the population density on Earth is really too dense, the kind of plague that can turn people into terrible undead monsters, once leaked, whether in the wizarding world or in the Muggle world, it will be deadly and terrifying.

"Of course not!"

(lll￢ω￢)

Little Anne glanced at the other party, she knew what this Dumbledore strange old man meant, but the other party's worries were destined to be superfluous, because until now, the two people who died were directly pulled back by her soul and restored to the body, so it will definitely not bring any undead plague, and the other party will put ten thousand hearts!

Besides, if the undead plague really comes out, she, Professor Anne, has a way to cure it, what is he worried about?

（…… ）

(●￣(??) ￣●)

(That's right, Tiebs says that his little master's way of curing the plague is to burn all the infected, uninfected, and suspected infected, and then reforge the body with his soul, which is as simple, efficient, and brutal!) ）

"That's good, that's good!"

"But ......"

Dumbledore was finally a little relieved to hear the assurances that the plague would not spread from the world of Lordaeron, but he quickly changed his mind and asked about something else:

"Professor Annie, there are so many people in Stratholme, are they really hopeless? That's hundreds of thousands of lives, isn't that a little too cruel? ”

Yes, in Dumbledore's opinion, it would be too cruel for those demons and cults of the Damned to openly release and spread the plague of the undead for their own selfish desires, polluting nearly half of the land of the kingdom of Lordaeron, turning countless living people into evil undead, and reducing villages and cities to waste!

What's even more cruel is that these people know that the tragedy is happening to so many living beings, but they can only watch, and even 'observe' with a certain not very good attitude, which is really too bad.

However, compared to the practices of those demons and the villains of the Cult of the Damned, Dumbledore suddenly felt that little Tom and the other party's Death Eaters seemed to be much cuter? At the very least, the reason for those guys to kill and set fires was simply to dominate the wizarding world and the entire earth, and they didn't want to destroy the world in a desperate way.

“……”

(￢д￢。 )

"Dumbledore, old man, you don't think that the 'death' of life is really over, do you?"

（?????????? ）

Little Anne didn't answer the other party's question, but just glanced at the other party a few times, and saw that the other party was a little unnatural before asking such a question.

“！！”

"Oh! I know, I do, I know, death is just the beginning of another adventure...... That's right, I've thought about this question before and prepared for it...... Okay, Professor Anne, let's not talk about it for now, but let's go ahead and see, shall we? ”

Seeing that the other party seemed to be a little impatient with his own problems, and seeing that the old paladin and Miss Granger on the 'screen' had caught up with Arthas and Harry and the others who were about to enter the city, Dumbledore hurriedly apologized, and instead sat down and watched intently.

“……”

(ー`?? ー)

"Humph!!"

( ̄~ ̄) Chew!

Seeing that the wonderful fight was about to begin, little Anne only frowned slightly, and then turned to 'suck' and 'suck' while eating, while looking up at the last two 'screens'.

（…… ）

(●￣(??) ￣●)

————————

In front of the arched bridge of the main entrance of Stratholme, Arthas led and gathered his army of more than 2,000 troops who had fought with him through Andorhar and the Valley of the Hearth, and began to walk slowly across the arched bridge of the moat, to the statue of King Lordaeron, Terenus Minechr II in front of the main entrance.

'Father......

'I also know that I shouldn't go in at this time, but, please forgive me, I have to go and destroy it......

After silently looking at his father, the tall statue of his father, Arthas waved his hand at the neatly lined army behind him, allowing them to slowly advance through the barricades that the soldiers had moved to the gate.

At this time, the only generals who followed him were his lieutenant, Captain Farik, the leader of the dwarves who followed him to fight the undead, and the sorcerer Harry Potter, who was just as vengeful as him.

'Wait!! ’

Suddenly, as Arthas was about to swing his horsewhip and march his mount with the army into Stratholme, there was a loud shout from behind him, which apparently belonged to Uther.

Smack! Smack!

With the sound of the heavy hooves of the two horses crashing against Stratholme's large stone arched bridge, Uther and Hermione the witch soon came to Arthas, slowing down their horses and finally stopping.

"Please wait!"

"Arthas, I don't understand, you ......"

Looking at the other party's expressions, looking at those murderous and awe-inspiring troops, Uther couldn't help but ask with some concern.

"I'm going into the city to deal with that Dreadlord!!"

A cold and unequivocal voice came out of Arthas's mouth, and it was clear that he had made up his mind, and there was no doubt about it.

“！！”

"Arthas, it's dangerous in the city right now, and if that Dreadlord appears at a time like this, it will be difficult for us to deal with him again, because he will soon have a terrible army, we should think of other ways, don't mess with ourselves!"

Uther was a little anxious, he wanted to kill the Dreadlord who ran out to make trouble at this time, but he couldn't, because the other party had gathered an undead army in a short period of time, and now it had occupied the area of the dock, and there would be more and more of them, so he didn't want Arthas to go in at this time.

In fact, he didn't want anyone to go in, and it was obviously not a good idea to fight the demons and the undead in Stratholme at this time.

"Uther ......"

"You see, what those demons, the Dreadlord Malganis and the Cult of the Damned have done to our homeland! In the current situation, I am afraid that the plague cannot be suppressed, but I can still take revenge on the choice of him, and now is the only chance to catch him, please don't stop me, you can't stop it! ”

"Stratholme I'll leave it to you, I won't do anything stupid again, but you can't stop me from taking revenge on that demon."

With that, Arthas flicked the reins and let his mount begin to move, slowly skirting the statue of King Terenus towards the great gates of Stratholme and the deserted street of Stratholme.

"Alsace ......"

"I remember what I told you: we are paladins, glorious paladins! Believe me, revenge is not something we have to do, and if we allow our faith and will to turn into anger and hatred, we will be as despicable as the cruel and bloodthirsty orcs!! ”

Uther didn't try to force the other party, because he knew that if he didn't want to use force against Arthas, he would definitely not be able to stop it! Therefore, he can only try to persuade the other party with words.

"No ......"

"Uther, yesterday I listened to you and did not continue to slaughter the city, but now the situation has gotten worse...... So, you must no longer stop me from fighting the undead and that demon Malganis! ”

Arthas paused, and after saying that, he continued to follow his army silently.

"This!"

"But, Alsace ....."

"I didn't want to stop you, I just gave you the most correct and kind advice! Now is really not the time to go shopping with that demon, at least not here in Stratholme, not yet!! ”

"Listen to me, kid, we can choose another time than ...... here"

‘……’

'Uther, I heard your suggestion, but I didn't take it!' ’

Arthas's mount grew farther and farther away, and his voice became quieter and quieter, but his back was unusually resolute and upright, and he never stopped or turned his head to continue speaking.

“……”

"Harry? You're ......."

Seeing Prince Arthas and the other party's lieutenant slowly leaving, Hermione, who also didn't know what to say, and didn't even dare to say anything, had to look at his companion Harry, who was still shrouded in black robes, with worried eyes.

'I'm going to help Prince Arthas, Hermione, do you want to come along?' ’

As soon as he finished speaking, and without waiting for Hermione's answer, Harry began to exert force, slowly shaking the reins in his hand, and let his war horse start to move with Arthas's army.

"But!"

"You are no match for Malganis at all, and neither am I! That Dreadlord is so terrifying, even if it is this magic book given to me by Professor Anne, there is no way to defeat it, at least not in my hands, you know that!! ”

Hermione was a little anxious, she felt that to deal with that Dreadlord Malganis, she would need at least the strength of most paladins, at least the strength of Lord Uther! Because this time, the demon won't be fighting them with some purpose, and the other party won't be as easy to deal with as last time.

Last time, she knew that if it weren't for the other party's rush to grab her book, she and Paladin Davey would probably have been defeated by the other party!

‘……’

'Hermione, Fleur died at the hands of Malganis, she died to protect me, and her soul is still tormented at his hands, and now I have finally found him, so no matter what, I will avenge her! ’

'Maybe I can't beat it, but I'm not alone......

'The Prince of Arthas is strong, and we have many powerful warriors!' Now that demon, he's making waves in the city, and we can't just watch it outside...... As you know, there are a lot of people in there, and when they get enough troops, they will kill them! ”

This may be my last chance, so please get out of the way! ’

“……”

"Harry......"

Hermione had no choice, and after looking at Harry and Prince Arthas who were gradually moving away, she had to ask for help and look at Uther, who didn't know what to say with a straight face.

"Alas......"

"Arthas, little wizard, remember: never let hatred blind you at any time, for that will only make things worse!"

With a sigh, Uther watched Arthas and the others enter and bypass the city gates, and enter the now extremely dangerous Stratholme, and after one last loud warning, he jumped directly from his horse.

"Lord Uther?"

Hermione, who didn't know what the other party wanted to do, had to ask nervously.

She had been tempted to follow Harry in, but reason had told her that it wasn't right! Moreover, she could also feel that neither the Prince of Arthas nor Harry seemed to be in the right state, and the eyes of those desperate Lordaeron soldiers were also terrifying, so she didn't do that impulsive thing.

"We have to wait here!"

Uther slammed his hammer to the ground, and after cracking the heavy rock floor, he sat down at the foot of the statue of King Terenus in hatred, ignoring the staring and worried eyes of the soldiers guarding the gate around him.

“……”

"And then? Do we really do nothing? ”

If that's the case, then Hermione should now consider whether to follow up now, because in that case, maybe she can help and protect Harry?

"Nope! Let's follow up too! ”

"However, I need to wait and gather the paladins of the Silver Hand first, but what about the mage Gianna, Miss Granger? Why didn't I see her just now? ”

Suddenly, Uther remembered that in Arthas's team just now, he only saw the Potter wizard, but not the female mage who had been following Arthas, this strange thing made him a little curious.

"Sister Gianna said that a prophet was looking for her, so she went out earlier......"

According to Gianna's description, Hermione knew that the prophet who was looking for the other party was the weirdo she had seen before, but what she didn't know was that Sister Gianna had been out for so long this time, and she hadn't come back for a long time.

"Prophet?"

"Humph! It's better to deal less with those kind of deceitful guys! Miss Granger, the Light will guide us, we don't need to believe the so-called divination and 'prophets', they are all deceitful madmen!! ”

After snorting again in annoyance, Uther closed her eyes and began to pray and regain her spirits in silence.

After all, when the paladins are assembled, they will be going to help Arthas, and there is no way he can let the other side become more and more dangerous now, especially in Strathom, where a demon keeps turning citizens into undead!

And then there'......

In fact, Uther was also a little lucky, he felt that if Arthas's actions went well, plus the elite paladins of their Silver Hand Knights, maybe they could really defeat the Dreadlord and force the other party to find a solution to the undead plague?

"Actually, I don't believe in divination and prophets, but ......"

Hermione, who agreed with the other party's statement, said that she didn't believe it either, but the Gianna sister believed it very much, and she didn't have any good way, let alone interfere...... So, after shrugging her shoulders helplessly, she thought about it and jumped out of her saddle as well, preparing to wait here with Paladin Uther for the paladins of the Silver Hand Knights to complete their assembly.

In fact

She wondered if she should summon some powerful big guy when the situation got out of hand...... However, after thinking that Uther and the others had already formulated and arranged the relevant countermeasures, and that the big guy seemed to be out of her control, and that Stratholme was too big here, and the other party might not be able to burn out in a few minutes, she reluctantly dispelled that dangerous thought.

Now, she just hopes that Harry and the others don't rush too fast, and that everything goes well......
