Well...... They didn't speak.

Scold...... Isn't that obvious? If I were willing to go by myself, they wouldn't stop me, but they wouldn't support me, but they probably didn't support me very much.

If we look at this from the perspective of outsiders, some people may say that they are so timid and afraid...... For a reckless man or someone who does not know Barov at all, it is true that this can be said. That's because he didn't know how many troops the Barov family had and what the consequences would be if something unpleasant happened.

Until the king himself took a stand and sent a general to deal with the matter, they acted only on their own behalf.

The thing about the black pot...... Whoever wants to carry it will carry it.

So I didn't squeak anymore.

Until...... He comes.

Well, it's Uther.

Uther was originally organizing the treatment of the plague in Brill, and after Brill was basically under control, he hurried to Andohar to meet the prince, but halfway through the way, he was told by the herald that Andohal was completely finished, and he hurriedly gathered the lords and troops along the way to rush to Andorhar. As soon as we learned that Uther had arrived outside the city of Andohar with a large army, we set out to rendezvous.

Uther's tired face and untidy beard made him look older than he had been some time ago, and I found that the gray hair on his head had taken up half of his head.

"Where's Artace!" He was surprised to see that I was here.

"He's gone to Stratholme." I said, "The food sent by Andorjar to Stratholme is said to be contaminated. ”

Uther looked serious, "Himself? ”

"And Gianna." I say.

Hearing this, Uther's face improved slightly, "What's going on in the city?" ”

"How many people did you bring?" I asked.

"What do you mean?"

I frowned, "I'm afraid we'll have to ...... this city Clean up the whole thing. ”

"Have you been in?"

"Not only did they go in, but they also killed Kel'thugad." I say.

Uther looked at me in surprise, "He's ......"

Seeing that Uther was a little puzzled, I said, "At present, he is the mastermind of this matter, the biggest mastermind we can know, but ...... There should be some secrets behind him that we don't know. It's just that he can't tell us in person. ”

"I'd rather know what's going on in the city right now." He said.

"The plague here is probably not the same as Brill's, and there may be almost no living people in the city now." I say. "Now in the city, we have to clean up all those who are no longer human, but this thing may be a bit difficult to do, especially to prevent our people from being reinfected."

Uther nodded and turned to the people around him, "We're going to dig a pit big enough outside the city to burn and bury it. Then he turned around and said, "Let's go into the city now." ”

Some dug pits outside the city, while large numbers of troops marched directly into the city. Back in the city again, not only was it even more messy, but the bodies of the walking corpses were also seriously changed, swollen, rotten, blackened, and cracked. There was an extremely unpleasant smell in the city.

The smell of corpses.

Soldiers fight on the battlefield, most of the time they are faced with fresh corpses, and they have never seen a corpse that can move on its own, let alone this kind of corpse that has rotted and can still move on its own!

This caused severe mental stress on the soldiers, so the troops who first entered the city were quickly withdrawn after eliminating a group of walking corpses, and the soldiers not only vomited, but vomited incessantly. In fact, this is not the most disgusting, and the work of cleaning up the corpses on the streets has made several lords extremely dissatisfied. It's true, no one can stand the smell. And it looks like a very complete corpse that will be destroyed in battle. Cleaning up those stumps and severed arms is almost crumbling.

I won't clean it, and the smell of the light city is already very good. Even though I brought a four-layer scarf, it still couldn't stop the smell. In the end, I was really sick to my stomach, so I wrapped some cooking condiments into small packets and put them next to my nose, which was a little useful for a short time, but soon I felt dizzy, and the smell penetrated into my nostrils again.

When I couldn't help but start vomiting, Uther also seemed a little overwhelmed.

There must be more than 100,000 people in the city! That is, at least 100,000 decomposing corpses! Just imagine the taste. Of course, we have a lot of corpses, but one of the biggest advantages of ours is that they are frozen not long after they die, and they will either become popsicles or gradually dehydrated and become dried corpses.

The troops in the city were all withdrawn outside the city after half a day. Not only did the soldiers vomit, but some of them also had a cough, which worried Uther.

There weren't many paladins with him, and it wasn't a joke in case of a plague in the army. So Uther immediately ordered all the people who were suffering from certain symptoms to be singled out. Just as the grain in the field had not yet been harvested, the asymptomatic soldiers began to harvest the wheat.

Something had to be done.

"There has been no movement in the Barov family, should we go to the Barov house to investigate?" I say.

Uther looked at his soldiers with a frown, "Don't act rashly about the affairs of the Barov family for the time being. ”

I don't really understand why, I already knew when I was in Lordaeron that the Barov family might have some moths, and the city of 100,000 people in Andohar was gone, why is it still like this. "I don't really understand." I say.

"The lord south of Andorhar is called Farkurest, and I don't think you're a stranger to this man." He said.

Suddenly I understood something.

"And we don't know exactly what the situation is with the Barov family." "Now I can't order an investigation into the Barov family," Uther said. He sighed softly, "And...... Even if you want to investigate, you have to investigate secretly. ”

"Maybe their whole family is dead." I say.

"That's not going to be quiet for the time being." Uther shook his head, "There is no backbone on Andorhar's side now, not only the matter of these 100,000 people, but also the defense here, the army and the like are all finished now. He said.

I understood.

"Now I'm driving the army over, just to tell the people around me that we're ready for war." He said. "We'll continue with the investigation."

"So what are we going to do now?" I asked.

"Go to Stratholme." He said.

"The prince has been on his way for more than a day." I say.

"It's very far from Stratholme, if we are fast enough...... It's still possible to catch up. He turned his horse's head, "Wait for me in a moment, and we'll set off in a moment." ”

Uther immediately went to arrange work, and I looked around to see how the soldiers were doing, and Mograini came, and he sat on his horse and watched his soldiers busy, and this guy's right hand was crippled, so he could do nothing but command now.

Soon Uther personally ordered some of his retinue to follow him, but I did not know any of the knights in this group. It seems that the Knights have recruited a lot over the years.

I looked worriedly at the haggard Uther, and wondered how many days he hadn't rested well. "You...... Will it work? I asked.

"What?"

"You don't look very good......" I said.

"Hmph......," Uther laughed, "if you can replace me, I'll be sure I'll have a good rest." ”

The team set off immediately. I had just learned that Uther had spent almost all of his week on horseback, and I had to admire his perseverance.

It's a bit of a stretch from Andorjar to Stratholme, and I've once again enjoyed the scenery of East Wild. The reason why it is not as good as Siveld is that it is more mountainous, and the hills are even more undulating than the Nade hills of the Arathi Highlands, which means that there is not much land suitable for farming. Despite this, the residents here seem to be living well.

The last time we walked from here was when we were chasing the orc troops that had withdrawn from Quel'Thalas, more than a decade had passed in the blink of an eye. One more thing I have to say...... The road from west to east is really good. This also makes us run very smoothly along the way.

We are one hundred and ten, and the number of war horses is three times the number of people. After three days of torment on the horse, they finally caught up with Alsace and his group. Let's just talk about how far it goes!

But even if we caught up with them, we were already outside Stratholme.

Uther had a rare smile on her tired face when she saw her student, and Gianna was overjoyed to see Uther. I'm far away. But they were happy for about a minute, and Arthas's face was gloomy again, and he was angry again. Seeing this, I don't want to go up again.

We went into the city together, and the size of the city was far beyond my imagination, and I really didn't expect such a big city in such a place. The city is no smaller than Andohar.

We all knew that food was the primary concern, so we went straight to the town hall to find the chief executive here.

The supreme administrator here is Lord Rivendell, because he controls the choke point between Lordaeron and the kingdom of Quel'Thalas, so although his title is not the highest, but his economic, military and other aspects of strength are not inferior to some dukes and earls, and this guy is very good at business, and during the time that his family was in control of Stratholme, their family managed to turn this originally small town into one of the largest cities in the East Wilder region.

It was supposed that anyone would be excited to see the bustling scene, but I was not happy at all, because along the way from the gate to the town hall, we found that there were many coughs in the city. If it were just one or two people, but now my heart was stirred up when I saw those coughing people almost everywhere, and Arthas was even more impatient, and he rushed into the town hall and roared for the person in charge.

When the staff told us that the person in charge did not come, the prince asked why he did not come, but the answer was...... He's sick! This news made us nervous in an instant, and the prince immediately summoned all the officials to come for questioning, but there were only a few officials who came, and there were already people who could not attend. And some people who came were coughing incessantly. Alsace looked displeased, but he tried to maintain his princely demeanor, and he told the coughing ones to rest in the next room first.

"Who's in charge of delivering the grain!" The prince asked directly.

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what he was talking about. "Where did all the food that was brought from Andohal two days ago go!" The prince slapped the table directly.

At this time, a man of about seventy years old stood up, "has been brought to the table." He said.

Except for Alsace, who frowned and expressed strong dissatisfaction, several of us were more ugly than the other.

"When!" The prince continued.

The person in charge of statistics quickly found out the situation of the shipment, but also found bad news in another file, and it took them an afternoon to divide all the grain after they delivered it here.

When I asked them why they were distributing the grain so quickly, they told me that it was new wheat, and that the new wheat tasted better than bread and other foods made from the old wheat of the previous year! And this batch of grain has been divided for two days! The reason for the presence of so many patients in the city was found. The prince asked everyone to figure out a way, and the group of guys hurriedly brainstormed ideas for the prince, but I listened to their suggestions and felt even more angry, and many of them were nonsense.

I also learned one thing from the mouths of this group of guys, and they didn't know very well what the consequences of this batch of grain would bring. In their mouths, they thought that the grain would probably cause dysentery, colds, fevers and other diseases. I looked at Arthas, and he was a little hesitant after listening to the opinions.

Ulther finally couldn't take it anymore and stood up. "This time the contagion will be more serious."

Scold...... Contagious disease......

"The most terrible situation is that there is human-to-human transmission, and those who are sick are infected by those who are not." "I propose to immediately send in the army, to lock down the city, to do it today, immediately, and to tighten the control," Uther said. ”

The proposal was immediately opposed by city officials. "It's unreliable, it's too difficult, and there are so many people!"

"Now that Lord Rivendell is not here, this matter must be agreed upon by him."

"Recently, the autumn harvest has been busy and trading is frequent, which will seriously affect this year's harvest."

"Yes, if that's the case, I won't be able to pay this year's taxes!"

There are always more reasons than solutions.

I looked at Arthas with a lot of worry.
