Chapter 279: Stratholme

"Arthas, this matter has to be considered in the long run. These undead creatures are cruel and cunning, and they are not so easy to deal with. ”

"It's too late, I'm afraid that the people of Stratholme will be ravaged by that demon, and they must move immediately."

Seeing that Arthas was so persistent and put down such a big hat, Uther really couldn't refuse, and after some discussion, everyone immediately set off for Stratholme.

Fang Xiaona also came back with Gianna, and the aura on her body was much stronger than in the past, she actually broke through and stepped into the second stage of the potential chain!

"Gianna taught me how to improve my mental power, and I'm a real magician now!"

Fang Xiaona was very excited, her strength was already at the peak of the first stage, and with Gianna's help, it was not surprising that she stepped into the second stage to become a real magician.

"But I still have to consolidate my mental power, Gianna said that as long as my mental power is completely consolidated, teach me spells."

Saying that, Fang Xiaona was bouncing and calculating what kind of spell to learn.

The group led the army to the northwest of Lordaeron.

A day later, the town of Stratholme came into view, and in the rain, it didn't seem to be infected.

"We came just in time, as if it hadn't been polluted by Marganis." Arthas looked at the town in front of him, and he didn't feel any blood, which made him breathe a sigh of relief.

"Let's go into town."

As the group entered the town, Arthas was shocked to find that they all had sickly expressions on their faces and the smell of plague in the air.

"Oh my God! We're still late, these humans are already infected, and while we can't see anything yet, it's only a matter of time before they transform into undead creatures. ”

Arthas was furious, his face was extremely ugly, "Marganis, I'm going to kill you!" ”

"Hahaha! Young prince, how about this gift? ”

Suddenly, a sound exploded from the rain curtain and echoed through the town.

"Who!?"

"I'm Marganis."

"You demon, where are you!?" Arthas yelled into the rain.

"Count the time, and the people of the town will soon be undead creatures. Alsace, isn't it angry? Would love to kill me? Haha, come to Northrend, I'm waiting for you here! ”

Marganis's voice faded away, leaving only Arthas's angry roar.

"Uther! We have to purify the city. Arthas, in a fit of rage, shouted.

"Arthas, watch your tone!"

Uther did not like it when people spoke to him in such a tone, and with his position, even the king was polite when he spoke to him.

"I know what I'm doing, Uther, there are some things you may not know very well, these undead creatures will spread the plague, and once they leave this town, the entire continent of Lordaeron will be in danger!"

"Even so, I can't agree with your approach, I need to go back to my country to report to Your Majesty."

Uther frowned, the king blamed him for such a thing, he could not afford it, and it would damage his reputation as a paladin. If other people on the mainland know about it, I'm afraid his image will completely collapse.

"It's too late! If they don't do anything, they'll all become undead creatures! ”

"There must be a solution, I want to return to the capital."

Uther spoke, he would never wade into such troubled waters.

"Uther, be careful that I remove you!"

"You don't have that power! Even if you are the heir to the kingdom, the removal of the Silver Hand as leader requires the approval of His Majesty the King himself! With that, Uther took his guards and left quickly without looking back. And Gianna also followed behind Uther, preparing to leave.

"Gianna?"

Arthas said with a puzzled voice, a little trembling.

Gianna looked back and shook her head, "Arthas, I can't watch you do this, I'm going to Dalaran, maybe the archmage will have a way to purify these tainted people." ”

With that, Gianna prepared to leave.

When Feng Fan saw Gianna leaving, a flash came to her, and then whispered a few words to her.

"Disaster is coming, and if you can't find a way to stop it in Dalaran, don't forget my words. Take your people and warriors to the western continent of Kalimdor, where hope can be found. ”

Gianna looked at Feng Fan's solemn expression, and then nodded slowly, "I understand, if there is no way at all, I will leave here." ”

Gianna then glanced at Arthas and left without looking back.

"Take care."

Seeing Uther and Gianna departing with the men, the warriors who were willing to follow Arthas spoke.

"Your Highness, what should we do?"

Arthas looked at the town in the rain and pondered for a moment, "Order, let's camp here first and monitor this town." Perhaps, Gianna can really bring some good news. ”

As the prince of the kingdom, Arthas did not want to wield a butcher's knife against his people unless he was forced to do so.

"Damn it! Marganis! I will not spare you if you have done such cruel things to my people! ”

Time passed little by little, and Feng Fan and Fang Xiaona stayed outside the town, each honing their skills and quietly waiting for things to develop.

Half a day later.

"Your Highness, it's not good!" A human sentry ran over with a panicked look on his face.

"What's wrong?"

"There are a few townsfolk in the town who have mutated and become undead creatures! The town is being invaded. ”

"What!"

Arthas suddenly stood up from his chair, his face solemn. Originally, he didn't want to use extreme measures, but now that the plague in the town has broken out, and Gianna has not returned, it seems that he has to take this last step.

His face changed and changed, and then Arthas spoke slowly, as if he had made some difficult choice.

"Order the army to kill all infected humans in the town, including those undead creatures!"

Hearing Arthas's order, the sentry was shocked, although he had a premonition that he might slaughter the town, but he did not expect it to come so quickly.

"Your Highness, this ......"

"Didn't you hear? I repeat, kill all infected humans in the town! ”

As he said this, Arthas's body trembled uncontrollably. What a massacre of the people of a town! Who can be so cold-blooded and ruthless? Moreover, these people are His people! But if there was another way, he would definitely not do it.
