Chapter 603: The Stormy Kingdom of Lordaeron (10,000 Words Big Chapter Asking for Subscription)

The Tirisfard Glades, the most prosperous, wealthy, and densely populated region of the entire kingdom of Lordaeron, is also home to the royal capital.

Ever since the Dark Gate was first opened, thousands of berserk greenskins rushed out of Draenor to destroy Stormwind, which became the de facto political center of the Alliance.

Whether it's Varian Wrynn, the heir to the kingdom of Stormwind, who lost his home and lived here, or the kings of Gilneth and Riptide Castle, or the dwarves and gnomes, allies of humanity, have all visited here more than once.

In the grand palace of the royal capital, they and King Terenus discussed how to deal with their common enemies and help the refugees displaced by the war, and they truly worked together to tide over the difficult times.

If the Alliance's role on the continent of the Eastern Kingdoms is somewhat akin to a United Nations plus military alliance, then the Lordaeron King's Capital, located in the Tirisfara Glades, is its headquarters.

And now King Terenus is a veritable leader of the alliance and leader of the entire organization.

While East Wilder is being ravaged by the Plague and Scourge Legions, countless civilians have either died and become undead or are sailing to the south.

However, it has not been affected in the slightest, and horse-drawn carriages loaded with goods can still be seen passing from town to town, bringing daily necessities and various specialties to the local residents.

Merchants from the north and south gathered around the royal capital, enjoying the prosperity of the kingdom of Lordaeron, which had never been destroyed by orc plunder.

Whatever the commodity, as soon as it can enter the capital, it will be snapped up by wealthy nobles and townspeople.

Compared to the rest of the continent, the Tirisfard Glade is a veritable heaven on earth.

With the exception of a handful of beasts, civilians do not feel any threat at all.

Some of the upper ruling classes, unaware of the danger that was coming, would even declare to outsiders at banquets that even if the end of the world came, the mighty kingdom of Lordaeron would remain as peaceful and prosperous as it was today.

Whether it is the plague and the undead raging in the north, or the orcs who have escaped from the concentration camps in the south, they are nothing more than scabies, and it will not take long to be completely resolved.

It is clear that the victory of the two orc wars and the unscathed themselves have made the upper echelons of the country begin to become both arrogant and arrogant.

Because many of them in public have never really felt the bloody cruelty of orc warfare, and have not experienced how powerless a human soldier is in the face of an orc warrior who is a lot taller than him and has an overwhelming advantage in size and strength;

In the same way, this group of people has never seen a plague-stricken town or village die in agony, or the despair of watching their loved ones turn into undead and want to kill them.

The joys and sorrows of people are not the same, and this sentence is simply the best embodiment in today's King Lordaeron.

King Terenus's sluggish response to the plague and his hesitation on the orc issue are all manifestations and amplifications of this group sentiment.

As for the doomsday prophecies and warnings that the last Guardian Medivan came to make, it would be a joke to listen to.

After all, no supreme ruler is an idiot to trust an unidentified madman with a mouth full of nonsense, let alone lead his people across the Endless Sea to the unknown continent of Kalimdor.

You must know that Lordaeron is the largest country with a population of several million.

Not to mention how many ships are needed to transfer so many people away, the horrific death toll that a casual storm can cause is more than the sum of the two orc wars combined.

What do so many people eat and drink when they move ashore with their families?

How can we ensure the most basic survival without triggering mass riots or even cannibalism because of lack of food?

What about the outbreak of disease and plague due to hygiene problems in the crowded and sealed environment of the ship?

What should you do if you are besieged by local indigenous forces after you go ashore?

With the current economic model and backward feudal rule system of the Lordaeron Kingdom, it is simply difficult to complete this series of operations.

There are too many uncertainties to travel across the Endless Sea to Kalimdor, and any one of them could lead to catastrophic consequences.

Thrall and Gianna dared to do this because they had drawn half of their fleet from the maritime power of Kurtiras, and they were familiar with the weather and routes at sea.

The former is purely because of the small number of orcs, and it is more convenient to transfer, so just grab a few ships and stuff them all.

Moreover, the orcs encountered a storm while crossing the Endless Sea, some of them sank to the bottom of the sea to feed the fish, and some were blown away to land elsewhere, and less than half of them succeeded in following Thrall to Kalimdor.

This shows how unreliable Medivan is, never fulfilling the slightest bit of his duties as a guardian, even though he is a mage, he behaves like a magic stick, and his thinking logic and language expression are almost zero, and he does not understand what the Burning Legion is, why he invaded Azeroth, and the tragic battle of the ancients 10,000 years ago.

It's no wonder that when it comes to him, no human country ruler, including Dalaran, will have any good evaluation, basically except for the negative, it is negative.

Therefore, King Terenus did not follow Medivan's instructions to be normal and sensible.

As for Thrall, it is estimated that he felt that the orcs had no room to survive when they were surrounded and intercepted in the eastern kingdom, so he decided to go to sea to another continent to establish a home belonging to the orcs.

Gianna saw the undead scourge sweeping across the north and slaughtered Dalaran, so she chose to cross the sea to Kalimdor under the orders of her mentor Anthony Das.

In other words, from the position of Sal and Gianna, it may not be because of Medivan's prediction that they chose to cross the sea, but more out of consideration of the current situation and their own interests.

But none of that matters anymore.

With the arrival of Zuo Si, many things have begun to deviate from the original trajectory and are developing in an unknown direction.

Although there has not been a significant deviation in this timeline at the moment, it has attracted the interference of the Bronze Dragon Legion.

But as tens of thousands of people in East Wilder began to migrate south, the northern part of Thorn Valley would soon establish cities and villages, slowly evolving into a new human kingdom.

Even inherited the name after the destruction of the kingdom of Lordan.

At that time, as long as the bronze dragon who manages this timeline is not dead, they will come to see what happened.

That's why Zuo Si took a huge risk to constantly strengthen the body he temporarily occupied, just to be able to gain the strength to resist the bronze dragon when it suddenly appeared.

Just as he had just arranged the migration of the population and followed Gianna to the magical kingdom of Dalaran to gain knowledge of arcane magic, Uther, the Lightbringer, had already arrived at the capital of Lordaeron in the Tirisfard Glades day and night on a fast horse.

He was so tired that he didn't even dare to rest, so he directly met King Terenas for the first time, and the massacre carried out by the Prince of Arthas in Stratholme, as well as the situation that the Scourge Legion disappeared and hid with hundreds of thousands of bones.

But the interesting part is that it is not known whether he forgot or deliberately chose to conceal it, and the paladin did not take the initiative to mention the large number of people who were fleeing by boat in the report.

Perhaps, in Uther's eyes, even if these people fled the kingdom, it was a hundred times better than being killed and turned into undead.

After all, the current Lordaeron really can't mobilize enough troops to protect the East Wilder area.

"What? What do you mean...... In the northern lands of the kingdom, there are still hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of undead armies? ”

King Terenus rose from his throne with a look of shock and disbelief on his old face.

Because in his original preconceived impression, the plague in the north and the undead who sporadically attacked the towns were not a threat at all, at least far from being comparable to the orcs raging in the south.

That's why he gave Alsace only a handful of troops, and later managed to barely reach a few thousand men after replenishment along the way.

But now, when he heard that the Cursed Sect had hollowed out a dozen of the largest cemeteries in East Wild, resurrected hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of human remains into terrible spirits, and quietly slaughtered hundreds of villages, His Majesty was trembling uncontrollably slightly, as if he had Parkinson's disease.

Obviously, due to the dispersion of villages and populations, coupled with the slow and backward transmission of information, the royal capital has never known the real situation in the East Wilder area, and has not even received a few decent pieces of information.

Whether it was the hollowing out of the graves or the ruins of a large number of villages, they didn't really know anything.

Even when the news of the tragedy of Stratholm came, King Terenus only felt that his son's approach was a little too radical, and did not see the plague and natural disasters as the greatest threat to the kingdom.

After all, on the surface, they have been winning battle after battle, while the Undead Scourge has been losing ground in the face of the kingdom's invincible army.

Whether it's in Andorhar or the Valley of the Hearth, or in the massacres of Stratholme, it's the kingdom of Lordaeron that wins.

Even Kel'thugad, one of the people behind the plague and the founder of the Cult of the Damned, has been killed by the prince himself, and the Dreadlord Malganis has fled to the continent of Northrend in the far north.

No matter how you look at it, it should be that the crisis has been lifted and the situation is very good.

However, after listening to Uther's report, King Terenus, with his keen political instincts, finally realized the great danger lurking beneath the water's surface, and began to pacing restlessly around the throne.

It took several minutes before he took a deep breath to regain his composure, raised his head and asked in an extremely serious tone, "Where do you think these undead armies are hiding?" And what evil plans are there? ”

Uther shook his head with a wry smile: "I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I don't know either.

East Wild's size is simply too large, with dense forests and inaccessible mountainous areas alone occupying more than sixty percent of the area, as well as many savage and bloodthirsty trolls.

Add to that the fact that the undead don't need food, supplies, or water, and don't even make the slightest noise when they're hidden, so it's very, very difficult to find the enemy.

In fact, if I hadn't been reminded, I wouldn't have noticed that the Necropolis in Stratholm and many other areas had been hollowed out.

Clearly, the kingdom is in a difficult position today.

And I think plagues and undead scourge are much more threatening than orcs.

While the latter also loot towns and slaughter unarmed civilians, at least they don't pull up corpses and turn them into the living dead.

You may want to consider sending some troops from the south to the north to build defenses.

I believe that the countries of the Alliance, after learning the true situation of the Scourge of the Dead, will understand the decision you have to make. ”

"You mentioned someone reminded? Who is this person? ”

A strange glint flashed in King Terenus' eyes, and he quickly asked.

"A new sect that worships a covenant god who calls himself Soth.

According to the description of Prince Arthas and the soldiers who fought with him at the time in the Valley of the Hearth, a trainee priest of the Light named Ranny caused a miracle through prayer in desperation.

An astonishing pillar of light descended from the sky, purifying not only countless undead souls, but also healing all those infected with the plague.

Since then, many people have begun to worship this god, and the faith has spread rapidly in the East Wilder region, even replacing the dominance of the Holy Light Church.

Because this priest of God has the ability to produce holy water, which is currently the only means that can cure the plague and purify the food and water contaminated by the plague, it has a very great influence among the people.

Even the soldiers of the army chose to convert and began to wear the emblem of the God of Contracts to pray for protection. ”

Uther did not hide anything, and gave a general account of the situation in very concise language.

"Soth, the god of contracts? Alsace seems to have mentioned ...... in previous reports"

King Terenus quickly rummaged through a pile of papers for letters written by the prince himself, spread them out and read them carefully, especially the part about the description of the gods.

After about three or five minutes, he put down the letter and asked in an uncertain tone, "What do you think of this sudden appearance of God, and their church as a whole, how do you feel?" ”

Uther replied without thinking, "I've only had a few contacts with them, so I don't know much about them, but on the whole they should be pretty good.

First of all, order, law, and contract are embraced, and even the grass-roots church still shows no sign of chaos, but everything is in order.

Second, they called on believers to accept and help people infected with the plague free of charge, and pastors provided free treatment.

From the beginning of the arrival to the end of the Stratholme massacre, the cumulative number of civilians who benefited from it has reached tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands.

In particular, the more than 10,000 civilians who were saved in the Stratholme massacre have become loyal followers of the Church of the Covenant God, willing to sacrifice everything for their faith.

This is also the reason why the God of Covenant has been able to replace the Church of Light in East Wilder, which has great influence and appeal.

In addition, to combat the threat of the undead, the church has formed a militia of several thousand people.

From the ruins of fallen towns and the Stratholme barracks, they had enough weapons to far outnumber and train the kingdom in the region. ”

"What?!"

These words made King Terenus's face change dramatically.

He may allow a new sect and faith to spread in his country, but he will never allow de facto illegal armed secession.

What's more, Stratholme is the most important border town in the north of the Kingdom of Lordaeron, and once it falls under the control of its power, the consequences are simply unimaginable.

Even though it has just been slaughtered by Alsace, it still has a very important strategic value.

Uther undoubtedly noticed the old king's reaction, and immediately comforted: "Your Majesty, there is no need for you to worry about this ecclesiastical armament.

Because they are planning to leave Stratholme by boat and go to the southernmost point of the continent in the Valley of Thorns to establish a new settlement.

By the time I left, 10,000 men had already set off as an advance party.

The leaders of the church were also contacting Marshal Dareen, wanting to speed up the transportation with the help of Kul Tiras's fleet.

If nothing else, they will be wiped out of the kingdom in a few months to half a year. ”

"Sailing to the Valley of Thorns? Why? Isn't the rich land of the East Wilder region much stronger than the tropical jungle full of mosquitoes, beasts and trolls? ”

King Terenus spoke with intense confusion and confusion.

In his view, the Church of the God of Covenant already had de facto control over Stratholme, and could have taken possession of large tracts of land around it and forced itself to recognize the latter's autonomy over the region.

Then use the power of faith to expand and erode it, and finally when the Minehir family is weakened, they will spin off the East Wilder region and establish an independent kingdom.

After all, in the course of the undead natural disaster, the feudal lords around Stratholme were almost dead, and only one Baron Rivendell happened to be attending a meeting in the royal capital, and the foundation of feudal rule no longer existed.

At this time, it is entirely possible to spread that the incompetence and cowardice of the royal family led to the disaster, and used religious fanaticism to agitate the people to break away from Lordaeron's control.

For the other god judged that the plague was only the beginning, not the end, and that the truly terrible calamity was yet to come.

We can't resist the flood of the undead.

At that time, the entire kingdom will fall, and the people will be slaughtered and turned into one of the undead.

So they decided to leave the North and go to the safer South to make a new home, and they would also take with them all the believers who would like to believe it.

In fact, on the way back I saw people dragging their families towards Stratholme.

It is conservatively estimated that there will be at least a hundred thousand people or more. ”

With that, Uther bowed his head deeply, his heart full of guilt and self-blame.

Because he felt that it was his own dereliction of duty, which caused the people to be so insecure.

He would rather abandon his most important possessions, such as his existing house and land, to pioneer in the harsh environment of the Valley of Thorns, rather than trust the Knights of the Silver Hand and the army of the kingdom to provide him with protection.

King Terenus's face was even more gloomy.

On the one hand, he was shocked that the other party dared to dig into the corners of the Lordaeron Kingdom so blatantly, and on the other hand, he was saddened that so many people had lost their trust in the king.

Such a mass exodus was like slapping the old king in the mouth, throwing everything he was proud of to the ground and crushing him.

What mercy......

Will a country with benevolent rulers have hundreds of villages slaughtered and hundreds of thousands of people flee with their families?

As for the exploits of leading the alliance to win the orc war, it has also been dimmed by the mass exodus of orc captives in the concentration camps, as well as their destruction and slaughter of surrounding human villages and towns.

Some war-torn regions have even denounced Terenus as a hypocrite for allowing the greenskins to live and even providing them with food.

As a result, instead of being grateful, mercy allowed the orcs to recuperate, and then continued to burn and loot, bringing great disasters to humanity.

Just as King Terenus began to wonder and reflect on whether he had done something wrong, his mind suddenly recalled the figure that had changed into a raven and landed in the palace hall not long ago, and the destructive language that the other party had made like a madman.

Obviously, if it was just the mysterious and confusing words of the other party, it was not enough to make him feel a sense of crisis.

But when you combine it with the hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of the undead army hiding in the East Wilder area, and the unusual behavior of the Church of the God of Contract that suddenly appeared to organize the fleeing of believers, the situation is completely different.

So after pondering for a long time, the old ruler finally couldn't help but ask, "Uther, if those undead armies suddenly appear and launch a full-scale invasion, do you think the kingdom of Lordaeron will survive?" ”

"Your Majesty, I assure you, no matter how terrible the enemy may be, the Knights of the Silver Hand will fight as best they can and will not back down until the last drop of blood is shed."

Uther replied to what he had not asked.

He obviously knew very well that relying on the strength of the Silver Hand Knights alone, let alone an army of hundreds of thousands of undead, it would be very difficult for tens of thousands to deal with.

Not to mention that the undead can surround heavily fortified towns with overwhelming numerical superiority, and then scatter to slaughter and wipe out the surrounding villages.

King Terenus, who had been engaged in politics all his life, could not hear the meaning of the Lightbringer, and suddenly sighed deeply.

"Ahh

It seems that we are ready for all-out war.

When the next Alliance meets, I will tell everyone about the threat of the Scourge of the Dead, so that the other kingdoms can be prepared.

On top of that, there's one more thing I want to ask you for. ”

"Please command."

Uther humbly stooped down and saluted his allegiance to the monarch.

"Help me get Galia to Stratholme.

Since these refugees belong to the kingdom of Lordaeron and want to establish a new home in the Valley of Thorns, they need a legitimate ruler.

A princess with royal blood is clearly the best fit for the position.

This allows them to quickly gain recognition from the countries of the alliance.

I intend for Galia to cooperate with the Church of the Covenant God on behalf of the Minethil family. ”

King Terenus was straightforward about his intentions.

To put it simply, it is to follow the example of the Stormwind Kingdom when it sent the young prince Varian Wryn to Lordaeron for refuge, and did not put his eggs in one basket in the face of a crisis, so as to avoid being wiped out by the enemy.

What's more, if this group of refugees really established a new human kingdom in the Valley of Thorns, Galia would naturally be crowned queen and in turn help the kingdom of Lordaeron survive the crisis.

In such a situation, cooperation will benefit both sides, and division will lead to two defeats, and the political wisdom of the old king can still be seen through at a glance.

Being able to control his emotions, never act rashly, and always solve problems from the perspective of interests is the strength of Terenus, and the reason why he has been able to lead the alliance for so many years.

"Are you sure Her Highness will agree?" Uther questioned uncertainly.

He would not forget that during the Second War, Galia had a very unpleasant quarrel with the old king because of marital problems.

And a few years ago, he secretly fell in love with a civilian, and even became pregnant and gave birth to a daughter.

Although so far, the royal family has not recognized the legitimacy of the princess's heir, and even chose to hide it from the outside world, at first only Queen Rianne knew the secret.

The reason is to avoid unnecessary strife, and there must be no heirs of royal blood until Alsace marries and gives birth to a true and legitimate heir.

However, the queen clearly underestimated her husband's control over the court.

It's just that the latter felt that the ugliness of the family should not be publicized, so he deliberately pretended not to know.

In fact, King Terenus not only knew about this, but also sent people to keep an eye on the father and daughter who were living in seclusion in Nanhai Town, to prevent some ill-intentioned guys from taking advantage of the granddaughter's royal blood to do things.

After a short silence, a hint of coldness flashed in the old king's eyes, and he replied in a tone without the slightest emotion: "Don't worry, I have a way to convince Jialia that she will agree." ”

"In that case, I can try."

Uther agreed without thinking, not even aware that King Terenus was clearly planning to force his daughter into submission by extraordinary means, just as he had almost married Galia to Deathwing disguised as Lord Presto.

Unlike Arthas, who has been pampered and expected since childhood, his sister's sense of existence has always been very weak, and it can even be said that from the very beginning, she was a marriage tool used to achieve political goals.

If it weren't for the royal scandal caused by secretly getting married and having children in private, he might have already married the heir or king of a human kingdom.

Now, as the kingdom of Lordaeron begins to experience turmoil and crisis in the midst of storms, King Terenus once again thinks of his daughter.

……

On the other side, Zosi, who had just teleported to Dalaran with Gianna, unaware of the imminent arrival of Alsace's sister, was standing in the square near the famous tourist attraction "Wishing Fountain", watching with great interest the apprentices and visitors toss the wish-engraved coins into it, and then closed their eyes and prayed sincerely.

The entire fountain is already densely packed with metal coins of different materials, sizes, and shapes.

Among them, the largest number is naturally the least valuable copper coins, accounting for more than 70 percent.

The second most valuable silver coins are about 25 percent.

Finally, there are only a handful of gold coins that are extremely valuable.

And there were no guards near the Trevi Fountain, but there was no one to see who had gone into the water to salvage the coins.

From this alone, it can be seen that Dalaran is very different from other human kingdoms.

To be precise, anyone who is qualified to live in this city is absolutely impossible to be an ordinary person, basically either a mage or a nobleman who has come to study.

Otherwise, you may not even be able to pay the rent, let alone the prohibitively high tuition fees.

Magic is something that can never be touched by the poor, no matter what the world.

"Aren't you going to toss a wishing coin? It's said to be very spiritual. Gianna said, pointing to the fountain.

"Hehe, forget it, I've never believed in these metaphysical things."

Zuo Si smiled and refused.

Are you kidding!

He remembered that the wishes of the celebrities in this fountain were often full of black humor.

For example, Arthas felt that he was already the only male heir of the kingdom of Lordaeron, and that he had everything from the moment he was born, and that he didn't need anything at all, so he casually wished for a cooler throne, and as a result, he got his wish and became the Lich King and sat on the Frozen Throne.

Another example is that Gianna once threw a coin during the time she was separated from Ajas, wishing that the prince would return to her as soon as possible, but the two quickly parted ways after a brief reunion, and there was no possibility of being together again.

In short, this fountain of wishes is like a failed wishing technique that distorts the wishes of the wisher and makes them come true.

Therefore, cherishing life, staying away from the Dalaran Wishing Fountain is the choice of smart people.

"You're such a weirdo."

Gianna was obviously seeing someone who was reluctant to make a wish at the fountain for the first time, and her eyes revealed a strong curiosity.

Because she witnessed the state of the young man standing next to her when he was rescued, and the other party's ignorant, ignorant, and hateful appearance at that time.

But after just one night, it was like a different person.

Not only has he changed from an illiterate person to a genius who can read and write several languages, but he can also perform a variety of magic with different attributes without any obstacles, no matter what the skill is almost immediately learned, and at the same time master some knowledge and insights that have never been seen in this world.

Although the church claims that it is because it has been chosen by the gods for enlightenment.

But Gianna always felt that something was wrong.

After all, it's one thing to be smart and learn a lot, but it's another thing to change your personality, demeanor, and temperament.

Especially when he saw the gorgeous and magnificent scene of the magic kingdom Dalaran for the first time, Zuo Si's performance was too bland, and he didn't have the shock and disbelief that ordinary people showed at all.

Coupled with the momentum of the superior who is accustomed to giving orders inadvertently revealed during the conversation, Gianna is convinced that the consciousness and soul in this body must have been replaced.

It wasn't the village youth who had been talking to him at all, but the messenger of the God of Covenant or God himself.

Walking through the bustling streets and shops selling all kinds of expensive magical items and raw materials, the two soon arrived at the tower where the archmage Anthony Das lived.

It is very close to Violet Castle, the political center of Dalaran, almost just a wall.

The huge lilac energy crystal at the top, as well as its unique height, seems to prove the identity and status of the tower's owner.

Two massive Arcane Annihilators towered over the doorway, constantly scanning approaching pedestrians with flickering eyes of energy.

As a magical city, constructs are very common in Dalaran.

Whether it's a service, a patrol, a sweeper, or a combat type, there are almost everything, and even the sales clerks in some stores are constructs made of magic.

Some brooms and brushes have been activated to automatically remove dust and trash from the streets.

If the towns of other human kingdoms seem to be the transition from the Middle Ages to the Renaissance on Earth, then here is a true fantasy style.

The Arcane Annihilator apparently knew Gianna, and was immediately released after confirming her identity.

In about five minutes or so, Zuo Si saw the chief archmage whose hair, eyebrows, and beard had turned gray in the reception room.

The two of them only looked at each other, and the latter seemed to sense something, and immediately ordered his proudest disciple, "You go out first, I need to talk to the guest alone." ”

"As you wish."

Gianna bowed to her teacher in obedience, and then turned away without hesitation.

When she was completely far away, Anthony Das closed the door and looked up and down with scrutinizing eyes, and slowly said tentatively, "What should I call you?" God? Or is it something else? ”

"Oh? You can sense my presence! ”

Zuo Si raised his eyebrows in surprise.

Although he didn't intend to hide his meaning at all, he didn't expect to be seen through at a glance.

"Of course.

I've read many books of esoteric magic shipped from Karazhan, even the Book of Medivan, which contains the power of the Guardians.

I have a certain understanding of time, space, and the universe, and can feel the faint connection across time and space.

And it was only a wisp of consciousness that resided in this shell, which was beyond the limits of what most of the mages could imagine.

I'm curious, what is the purpose of your coming into our world across such a long distance? ”

Anthony Das was straightforward in his choice of showdown.

Zuo Si ignored the archmage's vigilance, and deliberately put on a casual look and asked, "Isn't my performance obvious enough?"

For the sake of faith, of course.

For a god, faith is the source of its existence and great power.

I sensed the prayer of a trainee pastor in desperation, so I came down with a miracle to fulfill his wish, which in turn led to more faith and worship.

As for giving priests magic to save civilians who have been ravaged by plague and the undead, it is also for the sake of gaining believers.

Only the more people who survive this catastrophe, will my church be able to grow in this world.

So you don't need to be so vigilant.

Because my goal is to shelter my believers, so that the population can grow in a relatively stable environment, and then get more believers.

And I advocate the observance of order, laws, and contracts to keep society stable.

In a way, I am a perfect fit for the needs of the kingdoms of humanity right now.

The most important thing is that I can give the priests the magic to make the holy water they create to heal the plague and ward off the impending scourge of the undead. ”

"The undead scourge? Are you referring to the cult of the Cursed that Kel'thugad secretly founded? ”

Anthony Das obviously didn't know the real mastermind behind the plague at this time, and thought that his disciple who had fallen into the evil path was behind it.

Zuo Si smiled and shook his head: "No, of course not."

The Cult of the Damned is merely a vanguard, a pawn used to infiltrate and subvert the human kingdom.

The real threat comes from the Lich King in Northrend, on the other side of the sea.

Behind the Scourge of the Dead is the Burning Legion Demon who has conquered and destroyed countless worlds,

Therefore, whether it is Dalaran or the other human kingdoms, they are in dire need of my strength.

What's more, all I ask for is faith.

The more people who believe in me, the stronger my connection to the world will be, and the more power I can give and unleash.

You can think of this as a fair trade. ”

"What? The plague and undead plague that broke out in the kingdom of Lordaeron turned out to be related to demons! ”

Anthony Das was shocked by the bombshell news on the spot.

As the leader of the Magic Kingdom of Dalaran, it was naturally impossible for him not to know the horror of the Burning Legion.

Perhaps the time for the rise of humanity is too short, and it is not clear what happened during the Battle of the Ancients 10,000 years ago, but the High Elves of Dalaran will not easily forget.

In addition, the mages of the Kenrito Council have an important role to play, which is to destroy the otherworldly creatures that enter Azeroth for various reasons, including the demons of the Burning Legion.

During the Second Orc War, the Warlocks of the Shadow Council, led by Gul'dan, also summoned demons.

So Anthony Das was aware of the existence of the Burning Legion.

Immediately after, he remembered the mysterious prophet who had come to deliver the doomsday prophecy in the form of a raven not long ago, and immediately linked the two together, and an extremely solemn expression appeared on his wrinkled face.

"How do I confirm this information? You must know that you can't convince the other members of the alliance with just empty words. ”

"Two ways.

One is to risk being captured or even killed to go to the Northrend Icecrown Glacier to have a look.

Trust me, it's a sight you'll never forget.

The other is about the mysterious prophet who was moving around.

He is Medivan, the last guardian of the Council of Tirisfar. ”

Zuo Si unhurriedly threw out two more bombshell news.

"Medivan? Isn't he dead! ”

Anthony Das's pupils dilated suddenly, and his heart began to beat wildly.

As an archmage who had read the Book of Medivan and Karazan's vast collection of knowledge, no one knew better than him how powerful the magic of the last Guardian really was.

If Medivan really defeated death and successfully resurrected, then his mana alone would be enough to be equal to the sum of all the mages in the entire Dalaran combined.

"Yes, Medivan did die once.

But the problem is that you forget that he also has a mother who also served as a Guardian.

So please seriously consider my proposal.

Because there's really not much time left for you.

Maybe in a few months, maybe half a year, the kingdom of Lordaeron and Dalaran will usher in an unprecedented destruction.

And I am your only hope. ”

With that, Zuo Si picked up the hot tea placed on the table and savored it, allowing the Archmage to slowly digest the information.

(End of chapter)
