Chapter 11: The Prelude to the Killing is about to begin
When he saw the tall wall for the second time, Zhou You was silent and speechless. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
To be honest, he is not a good person, and even has mental problems to a certain extent - the cruel infinite world is enough to erase all kindness and mercy, and most of the people who can survive will have a heart as solid as stone, regardless of their character.
"But... It's a massacre after all. ”
Stroking the moss-covered wall tiles, someone sighed softly.
"What, some pity?" As if sensing the emotions of Zhou You, the prince who was sitting on a horse next to him turned around and asked.
"How could it not be, tens of thousands of lives are about to disappear in front of your eyes, and the initiator is yourself...."Zhou You whispered. Although this plan was indeed made by me, and it does feel a little hypocritical to me, it is because of this that it is particularly feeling...."
Someone pondered the wording for a few seconds before speaking slowly. "Unwilling."
"Unwilling? Hmph, a good word indeed. The prince sneered. I thought the same thing - I was reluctant to see my people infected and powerless, to save the city but to be opposed by everyone, and to betray me even by the people I loved. ”
"Wait, Your Highness, I didn't mean that...."
"Needless to say." The prince waved his hand, stopping Zhou You's excuses. "Now we need to think not about how to regret, but how to ....... Aftermath. ”
After saying this, the prince took the reins and walked into the city gate first, as if he did not want to say anything more.
The tumultuous troops behind him followed him into the city that was bound to be destroyed.
It is naturally impossible for such a huge posture to be ignored, not to mention that the people in Stratholme have been looking forward to the arrival of the prince for a long time, so as soon as everyone entered the city, they were warmly welcomed by the people.
That's right, a warm welcome.
These wretched people also came to save them from the suffering of sickness, but on the contrary, they were not greeted by merciful redeemers, but by the terrible Grim Reaper who brought fire and slaughter....
In the midst of flowers and cheers, the prince rode slowly on his horse, but there was no joy or sorrow in his eyes—it was not as good as a handsome, but only a deep indifference.
The road was not long, but in ten minutes, the prince came to an end, and soon, an old man with a large beard, like a government official, came forward.
"Your Highness, welcome to Stratholme, I am—"
"I don't care who you are." Arthas had always shown arrogance in front of his own subordinates, his girlfriend, and others other than his mentor - so he interrupted them mercilessly. "What about Mayor Bathras? Let him come out to me. ”
"Mayor He...."There was no feeling of humiliation, the old man just bent down more respectfully. He's dealing with a protest group of citizens and won't have time to get out for the time being, but I promise he'll be able to come and see you soon. ”
"Really?" The prince replied nonchalantly, and at the same time raised his right hand and made a slow gesture.
And so the army behind him began to disperse without a trace....
"Your Highness, please forgive your subordinates for their offense, please ask ....." With his head down, the old man saw no sign of the army's movement, and he only asked in a voice that was a mixture of humility and concern. "When are you going to start saving the citizens? More than thirty bodies were brought out yesterday, and the riots of the citizens were already difficult to stop, if ....."
"Save....is it?" When he heard this, the prince seemed to suddenly fall into a trance, and he muttered to himself as he stroked the warhammer hanging from the side of the horse. "Yes, it's my responsibility, and it's up to me to save you."
Holding the handle of the hammer with one hand, the muscles on Arthas's muscular arm erupted, and it seemed that in the next second, he might unleash a deadly weapon mercilessly.
But a sentence interrupted his movements.
"Your Highness, plan."
The tour on the side is reminded softly.
"By the way, there's a plan," murmured the prince, as if awakened from a dream. I almost forgot about that. ”
Looking at Arthas, who still seemed to be a little hazy, Zhou You let out a faint sigh.
- The seeds of corrosion have already been planted, and the incident of Stratholme is only a wedge after all, and the fall is inevitable, and without the intervention of external forces, this ambitious prince will eventually sink step by step in the darkness, and finally sink into the land of no return.
"Trust me, I'm going to save you all." While he was pondering, the prince seemed to come to his senses, and when he had finished his dealings with the old man, he saw him speak in front of everyone. "Only... Words as much as I can.
"Thank you so much, Your Highness, and all the men of Stratholme will thank you for your great kindness—" Without understanding the meaning of the prince's last words, the old man only bent over and babbled in compliments—but immediately he lifted up with great force.
"Your Highness..... Your Highness, you... What do you do! If there is any rudeness on the part of your subordinates, please forgive me..."
"There's nothing rude about you, I'm just starting to save you as I just said." The dismounted prince held the thin old man aloft, a ball of holy light condensed in his hand, and then slowly pressed towards the other party's body.
-- With a wail of great pain, a puff of green smoke slowly rose.
The prince's hopeful gaze dimmed in an instant.
"I'm sorry to make you suffer." Holding the screaming old man, he apologized softly, and then twisted it lightly with his hand.
"Click." A crisp sound came.
At this moment, the surrounding crowd seemed to be able to react, and the clamor mixed with fear and despair suddenly sounded.
"Oh my God, what did I see!"
"Prince, prince, he killed someone!"
"Your Highness, isn't he here to save us!"
"Help! Help me! I don't want to die! ”
“……”
"Enough, calm me down!"
In the midst of the extremely flustered noise, a loud shout like thunder suddenly sounded.
With the blessing of the amplification spell, the prince roared loudly at the crowd around him. "This man's infection has penetrated deep into his bone marrow, and even the Light cannot save his body! But I believe that most people can still be saved! Now give me an orderly queue to be checked by the soldiers, if ....."
Unfortunately, although the prince's harsh reprimand worked well, and the people were obedient to the surrounding army, when the crowd gradually quieted down, suddenly a more violent uproar was heard again, only to add to the despair this time.
- First the first pale hand reached out and knocked down the innocent human next to him, then the second, then the third..... and it seemed that in the blink of an eye, a large area of crimson appeared among the welcoming crowd.
Countless zombies stumble out among the scattered guts and stumps while the target ..... This is exactly the group of people who travel and the prince.
This is purgatory.
