I don't really like jokes, really! Especially I don't like to joke with strangers. Like now!

Do you know what it's like to hear me say that the Scourge has returned? Thrilled. The news surprised me more than someone came in and told us that Sylvanas' army had entered the camp.

"You...... Say what? I stared into his eyes, and even though I knew he was probably saying the same thing as I thought, I still didn't want to admit it.

"Natural disasters, natural disasters of the undead." He said in an accentuated tone.

"You're kidding." I was so surprised that I almost cried out: "Now that Hillsbrad is at war, and I came from there, where you Scarlet Crusaders are resisting, aren't you facing the undead?" ”

He immediately shook his head, "It's not like that. He said, "Those undead in Hillsbrad...... In fact, it was sent out by the city of Lordaeron. He gestured, and it didn't seem like it was very easy to explain, but he wanted to explain it to me. But what has suddenly appeared now is not, not at all! He stopped what he was doing, "Now these things that suddenly appear are crawling out of the coffin!" ”

"But as far as I know, they're all undead." I said with a smile.

"No, you don't know, the undead who just appeared are not the same as the living dead before, they will attack everyone, it's all!"

"What do you mean by all?"

"Even they attack those ......," he gestured, "the type of undead in Lordaeron!" ”

I frowned, "Attack the undead too?" Do you really mean the undead who took over Lordaeron? ”

He nodded.

"This ...... Isn't that a good thing? I pouted.

"Of course not!" Esenlien shook his head, "These guys are having a great, great impact on us right now. Even their damage has surpassed that of the undead who have taken over the city of Lordaeron. ”

"The Walking Dead of Lordaeron...... Some of them are conscious, you know? As he spoke, he frowned and said, "They have normal human minds, they're just dead." But the ones that have emerged recently are completely different! Those things don't have any ability to think, they just pounce and bite, killing everything in front of them! They have no formation, no strategy, and some are just crowd tactics, but this tactic makes it difficult for our army to parry. ”

"So exaggerated?"

"I haven't told you the details yet, these guys don't just bite and use weapons." He said.

"And what about those in Lordaeron?"

"All the same, those guys in Lordaeron call themselves the Forsaken." "The forsaken," he said...... They are dead, and if they die, they should lie well in the ground! What else...... Forsaken! Ethan Lion's attitude was not pretending at this time, and his hatred for these undead seemed to be very deep.

"Why do you call yourself that?"

"They...... Occupy most of Tirisfar, and want to occupy some land in the West Wilder region as well, which is the original royal land of Lordaeron, which is the territory of the living! They died and rested in peace, but now that they are alive, they have to fight for the land of the living! Isn't the cemetery we used to give them enough to sleep in? "Ethan Lion is yin and yang." Do they still have to learn to farm? Cultivation? Cultivated? Do you want to marry and have children? ”

I blinked, "You've talked to them yet?" ”

"What's there to negotiate with here? We just grabbed their people and asked some questions, but we couldn't empathize with them, and no one could accept that this kind of thing was living with us. ”

"Why?"

"Why?" He looked at me in amazement, "Do you think this is normal?" ”

"No...... I just don't understand what you're thinking. "I hurriedly said, is this guy's appearance going to be anxious with me or does he have other thoughts about me?

"Don't you believe in the Light?"

"Ah...... Of course I ...... Also believe. I said.

He shook his head, "Huh! The existence of these things simply does not make sense! Completely contrary to the teachings of the Light! ”

"I'm sorry, I'm just a ...... Rough man, it's okay for you to let me fight, but I don't know much about the teachings of the Holy Light, those living dead...... How is it contrary to the doctrine? ”

He gave me a disdainful look, then shook his head, "The light represents healing, purity, and salvation. He said, "Mograini was healed by the Light of his corrupted hands in Southsea Town, and then he became the greatest paladin, and everyone knows his name, Ember Bringer!" He looked at me solemnly: "The greatness of the Light has been manifested in humanity more than once, but ...... Not the living dead! They simply ...... Nothing to feel the Light! ”

"They can't be saved, they can't be cured!" he stressed. Their rotting flesh and missing souls mingled together to form such a walking corpse. They are not alive, and they will never be alive. They were resurrected, but they were no longer human. Only the pure, the pure, the good, and the friendly are eligible to be healed by the Light, and all those who cannot be healed, interfered with, and affected are all evil! He said with great seriousness, "Wicked...... It must be eradicated! ”

Looking at the guy in front of me in a robe, I felt that this guy was ...... Tsk, how do you say it...... I don't like this guy anyway.

"Did they ever start a war?" I asked.

"Right now." He said: "The invasion of Hillsbride was the war they waged, and now the fall of the whole Hillsbride area is the result." Moreover, they are now organizing an army to prepare for the West Wilder region, they want to seize an important valley in the middle of West Wild, and we are now mobilizing our army, and if they succeed in taking it, it will mean that we will lose the western part of West Wilder and all of the Tirisfa region forever. ”

"Where's the latest undead scourge?"

"They're everywhere!"

"You're right...... What does it mean to be everywhere? Don't they have a stronghold or ...... Castles or something? ”

"Yes!" He said: "Now the ruins of Andohar are filled with soldiers of the Scourge of the Dead! ”

Yes! Andohal ......

"Don't you have magicians?" I asked him.

"There are so many of them, oh my god I don't know how they came out. How can there be so many undead. Ethan Lien looked sad.

Once again, this place has become a place that no one can get around. I'm talking about the living! This is the place where we must pass from West Verd to Alterac, and where we are is just south of Andorhar, which means that the Scarlet Crusaders here are blocked to the south and have lost contact with the main forces in the north, I think.

"Maybe I can help you." I say. "I can go north and deliver you a letter or ...... Contact reinforcements. ”

"Hah!" He looked at me and smiled, "Our scouts can send information over, but our army still can't get through." ”

"Why?"

"Our army is completely outnumbered by the undead Scourge soldiers of that size."

"It seems that the battle you said is out of reach." I snorted, "What about East Wald?" Isn't there nothing going on there? ”

"Nothing? Of course, there is something going on there! Now the number of undead in East Wilde is no less than here. He said.

"How did it suddenly become like this?"

"I don't know at all." He said. "We can only wait for the investigation to be clear before we can act."

"Investigate ......clearly," I laughed, "so the undead didn't attack you?" ”

"They shouldn't have discovered us yet." He said. "By the number of them, it's only half an hour to set foot here."

"So exaggerated?"

"It's not an exaggeration at all." He said: "The Forsaken are different from them, that is, the Forsaken still have a bit of flesh and skin, although it is broken, but it is still possible to have a human skin outside. But they are different, some of them are skinny, some are skinless, and even have skeletons at all. ”

The expression on his face was a pure expression of emotion, and he was not only worried at this time, but also ...... Sadness.

"Can you imagine a skeleton that can run, jump, and fight with a weapon?" He said. "Isn't that a plot that only appears in the story of the old woman?"

"And...... And some of the most ugly, and those things aren't normal corpses at all! He frowned.

"You don't have to be so worried, they're not invulnerable, there must be a way."

"Invulnerability...... Hmph, it's true that they are not invulnerable, but they are not something that can be solved with a single sword, and their heads must be cut off to kill them completely, and this thing is for our soldiers...... It's so hard! ”

"But I've heard that the mages of Dalaran ...... It's not dead. ”

"What's the use of that, the magician's magic is a drop in the bucket when the undead of that size pounce on it." "And this situation only works when it happens in siege warfare, and if it is encountered in the field, there is actually no better way than to run," he said. ”

"Is it so unbearable?" I was a little drumming in my heart when he said, "What about your paladins?" Heavy cavalry should still be fine. ”

He shook his head, "The hoplites are devastating to humanity, but ...... Those undead are not afraid at all. The heavy cavalry rushed into them, only to be pulled off their horses and torn apart. ”

"If you say that, that's the end of it." I stared at his bitter melon-like face. "The infantry can't be defeated, the cavalry is useless, the magician can only defend and not attack, and he can only cut off his head when he goes up. Then why don't you retreat quickly? ”

"Where are you going?"

"South, or further south." I said a little angrily.

He was looking at me a little stunned when the door was pushed open. That huge figure appeared in front of me, and I will never forget his face.

He stared at me, then froze slightly, "Why are you?" ”

"It's nice to see you again, Brother Sedan!"

He's still in such a majestic place, and this powerful paladin is the strongest man I've ever seen. In the war with the orcs, he was like a giant, and the mortal giants wielded a war hammer to kill the orcs back again and again, and after being blessed by the holy light, he was no longer a giant, and sometimes even shone like a god.

But this person is not smiling, he was the first paladin when he was canonized, maybe because he was too strong, he also had the capital to be proud. The only guy he had to fight with was the guy named Gavinrad, and I was talking about not smiling. Tula Young is the most lively, Uther is the friendliest, and Tirio is the most sedate.

We didn't have much contact with during the war, and even less so when Lordaeron's army withdrew to the north. When I returned to Lordaeron, I didn't see this man in the royal city. It is said that he was made a lord after the war and had his own domain in the West Wilder region. Now it seems that he is only left with that empty title.

Although they have known each other for many years, there is no smile on his face at this time, and it seems that it is not easy for his tense face to look a little relaxed.

"Why are you here?" He said.

"Are you surprised?" I smiled.

"It's been years." He said. "I thought you were dead."

"Hah! What do you say...... Am I weak? I snorted.

The eyes on his slightly relaxed face made me feel a little uncomfortable, the kind of gaze that stared at me...... Is it scrutiny?

He looked at me and asked softly, "I remember...... Before the fall of Lordaeron, you came to Lordaeron...... Right? ”

This question is a bit ...... Had to make me think more.

"Yes." I said, "You weren't in Lordaeron then, and I heard you were knighted, ha!" I didn't get a chance to visit you and congratulate you. ”

"Hmph...... It's nothing, and now any fiefdom titles are useless. He poured a glass of wine, "You...... It was Stratholme who went with the Prince of Arthas, right? ”

I blinked, "Yes...... And Uther. I said.

"You were there at the Stratholme massacre, weren't you?" The way he stared at me made me more and more uncomfortable.

"Yes, Arthas had a falling out with his teacher Uther."

"Hmm...... Did you participate in the massacre? His eyes, staring at me, suddenly sharpened.

How to answer this question?
