Chapter 416: The Voluntary Death of Kel'thugad (Part I)

Kel'thugad's escape didn't last long, and they quickly caught up with Arthas, along the way Gianna kept blasting away the debris with fireballs, blocking out the flames with frost, and the rest of the soldiers chopping down the few undead who stood in their way, and they went straight all the way, not caring about the undead who were a little farther away and might pose a threat to other villages and towns. Their target was only the brute named Kel'thugad.

Soon, they were killed in front of Kel'thugad, Arthas roared, rushed out first, brandishing his flickering bright and slow war hammer, Kel'thugad didn't know whether he didn't have time to dodge or just didn't want to dodge, he was directly hit in the right leg, and suddenly the whole person flew up, and before he landed, the others rushed up, all kinds of weapons were chopped and stabbed, and all the pressure and grief of these days were vented on him.

The successive attacks inflicted extremely severe damage on Kel'thugad's already dilapidated body, which also made Kel'thugad, with his great strength and spells, look like he was really going to die. His legs were broken by Artace, twisted into a weird angle. His dull black robes were soaked with blood and slightly reflective. Kel'thugad propped himself up with his arm, spitting out a stream of blood mixed with broken teeth. Then he continued to struggle to say something.

"Childish...... Idiot, hey, hey...... My death will not change our plans...... Right now...... Natural disasters in this land...... It's coming. ”

Then he bent his elbows, closed his eyes, and died. Shortly seconds after Kel'thugad lost signs of life, the body immediately began to decompose. What should have taken days to decompose happens in a matter of seconds, and the flesh swells and bursts. People gasped, covered their mouths and noses and retreated, and some turned around and vomited in the stench. Arthas stared with both anger and gratification, not taking his eyes off at all. Putrefaction poured out of the corpse, and the flesh took on a thick, greasy appearance and gradually turned black. The anomalous corruption slowed down, and Arthas turned away in search of fresh air.

Gianna had a pale face, afraid that she would vomit if she relaxed a little. Gianna's eyes also wore dark circles because of the fatigue of the past few days.

"How's that? Is Kel'thugad dead?"

Arthas nodded, pointing to Kel'thugad on the ground, who was lying on his stomach and couldn't see what it was.

Gianna and they breathed a sigh of relief, Arthas looked at them for a while, a little hesitant, they couldn't rest yet, now they only eliminated their leader, but the most important food was no longer known where to be transferred. Moreover, Andohar has so much food that it can be eaten by the whole of Lordaeron for more than a year, and they alone cannot recover it, and now they must go to the Fireplace Fort to find reinforcements, the Fireplace Fort was hit after the outbreak of the plague crisis, Basshras was killed in battle, and now it is temporarily taken over by Uther, where a large number of Alliance troops are stationed, just in time.

"Let's go. Alsace said mildly. "We went to the Valley of the Hearth. They need to be warned, and we can't let them get the news too late. ”

They left Kel'thugad's body where it was and did not look at it again. Arthas prayed silently to the Light, hoping that they would not be too late. If he fails, he doesn't know what he's going to do.

Gianna gritted her teeth. She knew that Arthas wanted to go as fast as she could, and she was exhausted by now, but people's lives were at stake. She hesitated for a moment before nodding.

However, as soon as she had not taken a few steps on the horse, Gianna found herself unable to sit still, she was so tired that she was about to lose consciousness and fall off the horse in a few seconds. Fear caused her to grab the horse's mane, drag herself back into the saddle, and then pull the reins to stop the horse. She sat there, trembling as she clutched the reins. It was several minutes before Arthas noticed that she had fallen behind. Gianna vaguely heard him call off the convoy, and then watched in silence as he galloped over.

"Gianna, what's wrong?"

"Hug ...... Sorry, Alsace. I know you want to go full throttle, and so do I. But...... I was so tired that I almost fell off my horse. We can stop...... Would you like to take a short break?"

Even though it was dark, she could see the expression of struggle on Arthas's face: "How long do you think it will take?" ”

Two or three days, she thought, but it was impossible, so she had to say, "Just eat something and rest for a while." ”

Arthas nodded, reaching out to help her dismount, and Gianna leaned against the tree with a trembling hand and felt some magic bread from the package. These breads can give her some energy back. She looked at Arthas, who exuded impatience like a flame emitting heat, which was very uncomfortable.

She took a bite of the bread and looked up at Arthas, with whom he had a good relationship, one of the reasons was that he was approachable, and he was kind to everyone. But at this moment, it seems to be separated by an endless sea.

Alsace looked over: "Have you finished eating?"

"Nope. Gianna said, "But...... Alsace, I'm worried about you. I don't like how it affects you. ”

"To me?" he snapped. "Why don't you say what you did to the villagers? Gianna, they're dying, and they're turning into zombies. I have to stop this, I have to!"

Gianna was taken aback: "Of course we have to stop this, you know I will do my best to help you." But...... I've never seen you hate anything so much. ”

He laughed, then let out a loud shout, "Do you want me to love these necromancers?"

Gianna frowned, "Arthas, don't misinterpret my words like that. You are a paladin, an attendant of the Light. You are both a warrior and a healer. But all I see now is the desire in your heart to sweep away the enemy. ”

"You're talking more and more like Uther. Annoying. ”

Gianna did not answer. She was too tired to settle down and think. She took another bite of the cheese and turned her attention back to filling her stomach. For some reason, she found it a little hard to swallow.

Gianna...... I just want to save innocent people who are on the verge of death. That's all. And...... I'll admit, it upset me not being able to do that. But when that's over, you'll see that everything will be fine. I promise. ”

He lowered his head and smiled at her, and for a moment Gianna saw the former Alsace on his handsome face. She smiled reassuringly at him.

"Are you okay now?"

I took two bites. Gianna gathered up the rest of the bread. "Yes, now it's okay, let's move on. ”
