In the western part of the continent, the Scourge was rapidly rushing towards a town on the border of the Kingdom of Baleka, but the town had already erupted in commotion at dawn, and the Templar priests in the town unceremoniously rushed into the mayor's mansion and woke him up with force, and then the town's bell to inform him of danger was violently runged. While the half-asleep townspeople were out in a daze to check what was happening, many of the town guards had been organized to go door-to-door to tell everyone to leave the town and march towards the big city behind.

"What the hell is going on?"

"I don't know, but the mayor and the priesthood have ordered an immediate evacuation, the sooner the better. ”

"Evacuate!now!?"

"That's right, wake up your family and get them out of town. ”

The guards hurried as the streets were filled with bewildered townspeople, some of whom seemed to be completely unaware of the situation and were hesitating to leave, while others, who were more pious, went home as soon as they learned that it was the priest's order and woke up their families to begin preparing the carriage, but then everyone got the news that the mayor and the temple priest had asked for a qiē item to be thrown behind, and everyone was immediately, immediately, and quickly withdrawn from the town, and the order was unprecedentedly strong.

"I can't leave my possessions behind! ”

Seeing that some people were still stupidly guarding their money, the guards suddenly became a little angry, and when they gathered at the mayor's mansion, all the guards had already learned from the priest that the order to evacuate was because of the oracle issued by the god of the earth, Uznok, in which the god of the earth had clearly predicted. The dead buried in the ground have awakened, spreading the shadow of death from the Northlands.

In the temple of the god of the earth, the middle-aged male priest who is over sixty years old is gathering the orphans adopted in the temple and some old people who are inconvenient for long-distance travel, and the three mages are in full swing preparing to teleport the magic circle, and all the magic crystals that can be found in the town have been concentrated, and even the mayor of the town has smashed the vase that has been passed down from generation to generation and contributed a magic crystal for decoration, but the magic power of these magic crystals is still not enough to teleport all the townspeople to a big city more than a hundred kilometers away, so they can only give priority to the elderly and children。

Finally, he hugged his daughter and son, and the mayor of the town showed a look of relief on his fat face, watching his children disappear with the light of the teleportation circle, although he also wanted to use the teleportation array together to quickly escape from the town that was about to be devoured by the dead. But under the harsh gaze of the temple priests in the rear. Even the high-ranking and powerful ones on weekdays can only retreat with the ordinary townspeople.

The priest nodded, although the mayor of the town, who showed some signs of fortune, was more or less corrupt and derelict in his duties on weekdays, but at least the entire town was well governed, and after the oracle was issued today, the work of transferring the townspeople was also arranged for the first time. After sending some of the old, young, women and children away with the teleportation circle. The mayor and the temple priest, who were about to leave, received bad news. According to the guards, some of the townspeople insisted on taking their property with them, delaying the retreat.

The mayor of the town couldn't help but scold: "These stupid people. Don't they know that death is coming? According to the oracle of the Most High God, time is running out. ”

As one of the highest authorities in the town, the mayor amassed a considerable fortune of his own after assuming this position, but the Templar priests broke into his home in disregard of the rites and issued this terrible oracle. The mayor of the town still made a smart choice, first to save his own life and his family's life, money is just something outside the body, although it is a pity┉┉But no amount of money can buy back life. Obviously, as the mayor of the town, he has made a wise decision to abandon his wealth and tell all the townspeople to evacuate as quickly as possible, but now these blind fools are still entangled in this little money, damn it!

The mayor of the town, who almost turned into the Roaring Emperor, hysterically asked the guards to force those townspeople to leave, and then the priest on the side waved his hand: "There is no time, now let the townspeople who are willing to leave evacuate first, those who are unwilling to leave their wealth have made a choice, then they will have to pay the corresponding price, we can't help them." ”

The mayor of the town was dumbfounded and watched the priest of the temple say such cold words, the priest of the god of the earth used to have a good reputation among the townspeople, and was an elder who was already known for his kindness and kindness, but now he actually said such words, it only means one thing, the awakened dead referred to in this oracle is probably not trivial.

"You also evacuate quickly, by the way, set fire to the cemetery behind the temple before evacuating, and destroy all the bodies that are buried there. ”

The guards looked at the priest in astonishment, but seeing the resolute look in the other party's eyes, the guards' expressions also became resolute: "Yes, my lord, we will carry out your order immediately." ”

┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉

A raging fire burned in the cemetery, and one by one the carriages quickly left the town, ignoring the townspeople who were still caring about their money, even if some tried to intercept the carriage procession and asked to carry their own property, but at the behest of the mayor, the guards immediately taught a few people a lesson with their swords, and soon some of the townspeople realized that this sudden request to evacuate might indeed have happened very strictly, and some townspeople soon added some townspeople to the evacuation team.

The town of more than 4,000 people was quickly emptied, and the mighty procession drove on the road, each carrying only a small amount of dry food, and the townspeople who traveled lightly were still quite fast, and by the time the sun rose, they could no longer see the hometown where they had lived for many years. However, there are still some people who do not have the opportunity to see the morning sun.

Those who did not want to give up their possessions tried to carry away the heavy goods by means of transportation, and some locked their possessions in cellars with themselves, hoping to escape the calamity no matter what happened outside. However, when the sky was the color of a fish's belly, the army representing death had already appeared on the horizon, and the dark blue soul fire formed a torrent, and as the undead moved, the sky seemed to be covered with dark clouds, and even the sunlight shining from above became bleak.

The screams of fear pierced the last trace of luck of those who had not yet set off, and when the exact facts of the calamity came to people, people would regret it, and the wealth that had been desperately guarded became worthless in an instant, and the townspeople who stayed behind abandoned in fear, regardless of the qiē snatching the horses left behind, and fled the town like crazy. When the undead team on the horizon sped up their march, the entire town was thrown into chaos!

Why didn't you listen to the temple priest and flee together!!

It was too late to regret at this moment, and the army of the undead quickly rushed into the already empty town and began to kill any living they saw, even hiding in the cellar to no avail, the undead who were extremely sensitive to the breath of the living could smell the breath of the living, and the undead brandished their weapons to smash open the cellar door, stabbing their swords into the bodies of the townsfolk in a heart-rending scream of fear.

Screams, wails, and pleas for mercy come and go, but this qiē is useless in the face of the emotionless undead, who simply kill everyone and bring the dead back to life as their companions. The slaughter continued, and it was too late for the townsfolk to flee the town, the horses could not be as fast as the flying beasts, and the scythe of death quickly harvested their souls.

"Oops~ What a disappointment. ”

In the middle of the town, which had been completely quiet, the death singer Karthas slowly floated in the cemetery that had been scorched by the fire, and the corpses buried in it had been carbonized by the high temperature and were afraid that they could not be used, shaking his head, Karthas returned to the center of the army of the undead with a very distressed look.

The corpses of the townsfolk were piled up by the undead, and ironically, there were a lot of scattered gold coins and belongings under the corpses, but the undead who had killed them were not even interested in looking at them. Of course, there were a few living people among them, and the purpose of leaving these people alive was naturally to interrogate the whereabouts of the other townspeople.

"I'm sorry for the Lich King, but those townsfolk have fled beforehand, and it seems that the news of our existence has been leaked. Karthas said to Arthas with a flattering look on his face.

Arthas frowned, what was supposed to be a one-sided raid to increase the strength of the Scourge Legion turned out to be like this, and the most unpleasant thing was that the news was leaked because of the oracle of the gods: "Those living can't run far, let the Scourge Legion quickly pursue!"

"As you wish!"

Arthas snorted coldly as he looked at the sky, then pulled out the grief of frost that shone with an ominous light, and the corpses of the townspeople stood up again under the aura of death, ready to be loyal to their new master, but Arthas was very dissatisfied, this town that was supposed to have more than 4,000 people only increased the strength of the Scourge Legion by about 200 people, and it was also the lowest cannon fodder undead.

Mulwald rode over on a skeleton war horse and said with a solemn expression: "My Majesty, our whereabouts have been exposed, and the Holy Capital and the Ballaika Kingdom will definitely be prepared next, I'm afraid we will have to face a hard battle." ”

"The Scourge Legion still lacks a backbone, and without the assistance of the Death Knights, my Legion will never be complete!"

Arthas reopened the map in his hand, since the whereabouts of the Scourge Legion were leaked, then it was impossible to march according to the predetermined plan, and it was necessary to change the route of advance, the primary purpose was to increase the number of legions as much as possible, and then with the assistance of Mulwald, Alsace found a good place, not an empty and easy to conquer town, on the contrary, it was a sparsely populated area, but there was a main river that ran through the entire Balleka Kingdom, which can be described as a mother river......!
