"The Burning Legion, Sargeras, Kilgardan, the Warped Void. I thought they were just legends in stories. Terenus said with some emotion. At this time, he was in the council hall, talking with Mediven Lothar and Lin Xuan.

"A lot of times I also wish it was just a story. Even if even my magic is just a story. I only hope that there will be no more demons in the world. "But sadly, they are real. And they are already here. Medivan replied in an equally low tone.

"They are enemies, enemies in their purest form. Because their invasion doesn't even need a reason, it's just a nature for them. There were no peace talks, no compromises, the war had already begun. Your Majesty, you need to make a choice. ”

"Hehe, the Lordaeron Empire has never been afraid of war. It's just that before I can do that, I need to know everything. ”

"Of course, this is the Stormwind Kingdom's chief magic advisor and the one most familiar with the Scourge Legion, and he can tell you everything."

Since the chaotic night in the capital had passed, the whole of Lordaeron had entered an atmosphere of seriousness that had never been seen before. Countless soldiers appeared in the streets, hurrying by. Even the villagers in the towns and villages outside the city saw formed armies passing through from time to time. Even the dullest of the world has realized that war is coming. It's just that the vast majority of people are not clear, who is their opponent, or what?

"You should advise Terenus that now is not the time to start a war. We need to contact all the kingdoms and form a true human alliance. Lordaeron himself could not defeat the Burning Legion. Not even the Scourge Legion. Medivan chattered in Lin Xuan's ear, while Lothar on the side was watching the excitement.

"I said, why didn't you go to Lothar to tell me about it, but came to me. I don't think I'm the best person in any way. ”

"Lothar is not like you, he approves of Lordaeron's army, because he is the military commander of the Stormwind Nation. He can't see the big picture as we do. ”

"And on what grounds do you want me to convince Terenus? The chief magical advisor of the Stormwind Kingdom, go and convince the king of Dan Loren that the two of us have broken brains. And on what grounds shall I convince him? ”

"Forehead ......"

"Wake up, Medivan, the best time for war will never come. Every moment is the worst time and the best time. In fact, the longer we drag, the stronger the accumulated power will be. But the same is true of the Scourge Legion, the Undead Scourge has been flooding the far north, the dead are recovering, and the strength of the Legion is also accumulating. So, there was not the slightest problem with the actions of the Lordaeron Empire. On the contrary, we have always fallen into the wrong place of thinking. We are always on the defensive, waiting passively, but Terenus shows us a new path. Maybe the chances of being proactive are better. ”

In a township north of Lordaeron. A monster on all fours, full of rotten breath, crept into the village. Then the second, then the third. Dozens of ghouls silently surrounded the village. Here they smell the breath of the living. The killing began when the ghouls at the head rushed into the village with a roar.

This time, however, the ghouls chose the wrong target. The living people in the village are not the prey they imagined, but a group of dangerous hunters. The relationship between the prey and the hunter is reversed in an instant. A huge net suddenly bounced up, entangling the first ghoul. Ghouls are not very intelligent and obviously cannot understand that this is a sign of a trap. The remaining ghouls rushed in without slowing down. Waiting for them are a variety of deadly traps, as well as a powerful crossbow array. In just a few breaths, the remaining ghouls were slaughtered.

"Take the live mouth and get out of here." The captain commanded. Immediately, several soldiers stepped forward and shrank the giant net, completely restricting the ghoul's movements. It was then towed to a wagon.

"Count our gains."

"So far, we've caught four skeletons, three walking corpses, and one ghoul. According to the original plan, we were one abomination away. According to intelligence, these are the most common types of troops in the Scourge Legion. ”

"Scourge Legion! What a fitting name. Go to Canyon Town and join up with Team 3. Hate is not easy to do, we need more people. The young knight gave the order, and this man was Tiffriodin, who had done so well in the night of chaos.

The vanguard led by Tifliodin, who is responsible for spying on the movements of the Scourge Legion and capturing certain legion members, in order to give a psychological warning to the soldiers in the rear. After all, none of the soldiers had any experience against skeletons and walking corpses.

Canyon Town, as the name suggests, is a small town in the middle of a canyon. The town is not big. However, it is an important foothold on a trade route in the north, so it is quite dynamic. At dusk, the vanguard arrived at Canyon Town. But just as he was about to enter the town, Tifliodin's signal for all the soldiers to stop.

"Leon, let's go over and have a look. Something didn't feel right. ”

The knight, named Leon, rode forward and watched on a hillside outside the town.

"I didn't see anything unusual, the lights were on, there were some pedestrians on the street, and I could see the figure in the bar."

"Maybe I'm too careful. Lyon, you lead the team to guard our 'cargo'. I'll lead the team into town first, and wait for my signal before you enter. ”

Teverly led a group of knights to approach the town first. It's just that the closer he gets to town, the more uneasy Teverly becomes. He could already see the townspeople. There's just something wrong.

"It's the voice." Tiverly finally understood what the problem was. The sound in the town was not right, there was a lot of movement. The sounds of all kinds of domestic animals, the sound of pedestrians, cars and horses, but there is no language. There were a lot of swaying figures in the tavern, but the rude caravan guards didn't let out the slightest shouting and scolding. The pedestrians on the street just walked in silence, aimlessly, as if they were ...... Zombie.

"All retreat, right now. Send a signal to Leon and tell him that the whole army is on alert. Right away. Tiffly shouted, and a cold sweat broke out from his nervous body. And the next second, the town's reaction perfectly matched his actions.

Just as Tiverly gave the order to retreat, all the pedestrians in the town suddenly came to a standstill. Then he turned back and looked at them with an incredibly neat movement. That kind of weird painting style can make the most daring human break out in a cold sweat. Tiverly could clearly see that all the 'pedestrians' were pale, and some of them even had a rotten blue-purple tinge. They're not 'villagers' at all, they're all walking corpses.
