Chapter Thirty-Seven: The Dog in Another World

The original text is still very long, and it is all classical biographical writing like this, interspersed with reverse order, interpolation, and psychological descriptions, depicting a large number of detailed scenes that are impossible for anyone to witness.

Although this incident was covered up by the Storm Kingdom officials, it has been recorded in many civilian channels and many foreign documents. The author of Xing Yongheng collected and sorted out these wild histories, and carried out a second creation without rewriting the trend of historical events; It's exactly the same as the way a certain Taishi Gong wrote.

Because there is no need, I will not repeat it in full here (mainly because it is tiring to make up the book). The following is an excerpt from the events related to the main story:

Around the time of the Third World War, shortly after the restoration of the Third Dynasty, the Bright Pope's Branch, which had been banished to the Central Mountains of Dawn for several years, suddenly did not know what to do, and it seemed that he was conducting some kind of secret experiment in the territory, which caused serious magical pollution. The entire sky south of the Dawn River was obscured by the dark energy, and the good sunny woods were darkened, and they had not completely dissipated until now.

Pollution and lack of light caused large swathes of crops to wilt and livestock to die of disease. Some of the local people have even been infected with a terrible plague, and the patients have dead brains and look like zombies. The people of Dawn Prefecture were resentful, and they demanded that the government thoroughly investigate the matter and punish and expel those clergymen who did not do anything.

However, the local government of the state did not dare to provoke the Church of Light. As the former ruler of the kingdom, although the church was ousted and its armed forces were reduced, it was still the spokesman of the Holy Light, with many believers and great influence.

In addition, the reigning royal family of Urion was restored under the escort of the Intervention Army after the First Republic was strangled by the Lordaeron Alliance, and its foundation was unstable and there was no time to take care of local affairs. The finances of Dawn State are mainly supported by the deep-pocketed Church of Light, and there are close contacts in all aspects.

……

Seeing this, Oster felt like he had taken a big bite of a screw, and his whole person was amused—the Third Dynasty, the First Republic, the Papal Branch, the Restoration, the Intervention Army...... What the hell is this? Could it be that the soul of France has also traveled to another world?

Fortunately, the author of the book can understand the reader's feelings very well, and inserts a paragraph in the middle of the chronology of the Stormwind Kingdom regime;

[c. 800 BC-434 BC, Azeroth First Dynasty (Arath);

435 BC - 3 years of Stargate, Storm First Dynasty (Urien);

Star Gate 4-6 years, beast tribe;

March-September of the 6th year of the stargate, the second dynasty of Azeroth (Lothar);

September 6 - September 7, Storm's Second Dynasty (Urian);

October 7 - 10 years of Stargate, vassal state of the Tempest Pope (Tulayan);

Stargate 11-14, Stormwind Republic;

15 years of Stargate to the present (29th year of Stargate), Storm's Third Dynasty (Ureon). 】

It can be seen that the political turmoil in the Stormwind Kingdom is comparable to that of the Gallic chicken in another world, and the country name changes frequently, such as a girlfriend turning her face, and it can be turned three times a year at most; Not only was Lothar king, but even Tulayan later added a leg.

This is mainly due to the fact that the power of the country has been controlled by the northern powers for a long time since the capital was conquered by the tribes. For a long time after World War I and II, Lordaeron was the undisputed leader of the League. The Magical Industrial Revolution was in full swing, and the power of the Territory was at its peak, and Terenus had the ambition to ascend to the throne and pursue interventionism in the countries of the Alliance.

After Stormwind was restored under the protection of the Alliance, the dynasties and papal vassals were all puppets of the Lordaeron Alliance in the south—except for the Republic that came out of nowhere.

Moving on, the aftermath of the incident is:

…… In the face of the people's demands to expel the church, stop the pollution, and punish those responsible, the Dawn Prefecture government ate people's mouths, wore the same pants as the church, and did all kinds of perfunctory duties, and finally even began to suppress the demonstrators and rebels in the open.

So the people quit and rose up one after another, spontaneously forming a militia group called the Night Watch. Because it won the hearts of the people, the momentum quickly grew.

Because the Holy Knights had been disbanded at that time, and the rebuilding was many years later, the church with its teeth pulled out was like a little sheep, powerless in the face of frequent attacks by the militia. The state guards in Sunshine Town are also scattered, with few people and poor equipment, and they don't have time to take care of themselves, let alone rescue.

Soon, the militia occupied large swaths of the kingdom's towns and ecclesiastical territories, expelled the local government and church, and established autonomous councils.

At this time, a regular army of the Kingdom to defend against the trolls of the Valley of Thorns was stationed in the area of Raven Ridge. The commander of the regiment was called Morgan Raddymore, who was originally a paladin and was very good at leading troops in battle. After the disbandment of the Order, it belonged to the Kingdom Army, but it still had a close relationship with the Church in private.

At the Pope's personal request, Morgan could not save face and sent his troops to fight the militia several times. Whether it is a failure to inform the superiors or not, it is impossible to test whether the claim was made without authorization.

At first, overwhelmed by the level of equipment and training, the Legion easily routed the Night's Watch and hanged a group of autonomous leaders;

Soon, the militia reacted, and under the same hatred of the enemy, a steady stream of reserves were thrown into battle. The officers and troops gradually could not bear it, and although they were superior in equipment, they could not stand up to the large number of opponents and the support of the people. Morgan's corps suffered several heavy losses, and even the deputy corps commander was killed.

If Morgan had retreated at this time, he would have given a friend an explanation and accepted it, and he would not have ended up in the situation later. But this person has a good face, and in anger, he asks the Church of Light to give the soldiers of the Corps the power of holy light and teach this group of mud-legged people who don't know what to do.

The church has also completely torn its face with the people, and if the Kingdom Corps withdraws at this time, they may be skinned by the militia and hung with street lamps just like they did during the Republic. After refusing several times on high-sounding grounds, and seeing that the situation was still getting worse, the church finally agreed to use the power of the Holy Light to infuse some of Morgan's soldiers and transform them into powerful paladins.

The effect of the Holy Light is very amazing, the soldiers who receive the infusion become infinitely powerful, can recover quickly from injuries, can connect broken hands and feet, and even squirm on their own when the severed limbs are separated from the body; In addition, there is no need to rest and sleep, and there is no need to eat or drink to travel long distances and fight continuously; It is said that soldiers who look dead are able to get back on their feet after a while.

Under the blow of this terrible army of holy light, the night watchmen were unable to parry, and all the lines retreated, killing countless people. The remaining militia was reduced to pieces and fled into the mountains and forests to carry out guerrilla warfare.

Originally, Morgan was a professional soldier and a noble priest, and he was very cultivated. However, at this time, for some reason, his temperament changed drastically, and in order to prevent the resurgence of the rebellion, he ordered that all prisoners be executed as if they were trolls, and that the areas where the militia was active should be purged.

And the soldiers under his command carried out an order to the letter, raising their butcher knives high at their compatriots. For a time, rivers of blood flowed and wails were everywhere, and many farms and villages were left without the slaughter of chickens and dogs. Bloodthirsty soldiers were even seen gnawing on the corpses of people and animals.

What Morgan didn't know was that the churches that had fallen to Dawn had long since lost the power of the Light, otherwise they wouldn't have been in a hurry to carry out those polluting soul experiments;

What makes the soldiers of the Legion invulnerable, painless, and untired is not the Holy Light, but something called Soul Energy. It transforms the soldiers into an undead magical creature, just as it happened to the Lordaerons in the far north.

Because this technique is still being experimented, those who are infused with soul energy may lose their minds at any time, become hateful to all living beings, and have a thirst for killing. Morgan had previously accepted the infusion despite dissuasion, ordering the massacre of innocent villagers, and in part was influenced by this. And as the soul energy in the body is exhausted, they will instinctively rely on the way of eating corpses alive to devour the souls of other people, and gradually become outright evil ghosts.

With the help of a church researcher who had escaped with a finding of conscience, Morgan was able to regain some of his sanity, but it was too late.

Since then, something has happened, the details of which are unknown, after all, all records have been carefully destroyed. In short, the Sunshine Forest has become a historical term, and it has become the Twilight Forest today.

- And then the following is gone, and the volume comes to an abrupt end.

Oster shouted at me, this is a history book, what does it mean to end with a hook?

He was desperate to see the key content, and the question he had been puzzled about in his previous life when he played the game: how did the undead of the Twilight Forest come from?

In the entire eastern continent south of the Sador Bridge, only the small map of twilight is full of undead, and it is strangely shrouded in darkness all day long, and there is no light of day;

In all the surrounding areas, there was no sign of being contaminated by the plague, and not even a few undead monsters could be found.

The chronicle clearly records that this place was originally called the Sunshine Grove, but for some reason it became like this. Moreover, according to the setting, the source of the undead plague is far away in the regions of Lordaeron and Quel'Thalas on the other side of the world, and it is caused by shadow magic, which cannot be produced naturally.

This is a very strange and unreasonable phenomenon, and it can even be assumed that the twilight plague was mostly deliberately or accidentally dropped by someone who came from the north from far and wide to carry pathogens.

In the game, an NPC used the mouth of an NPC to vaguely attribute the origin of the twilight plague to a little-known necromancer, Mabbent Fell.

The man came from nowhere, and without any follow-up plot, wandering alone on the second floor of a cemetery hut. The strength is extremely weak, even if you don't do the pre-task to get the magic lantern, you can kill it alone if you come to a large one;

No matter how you look at it, he is not the kind of ruthless character who can carry the plague across the entire continent, cross the territory of more than a dozen countries of various races without being discovered, go deep into the hinterland of the Storm Kingdom, and pollute the land of a state with the power of one person. In contrast, the scapegoat of the North is the famous Kel'thugad.

Now, it is clearly written in Star Eternal and several history books that Morbent's true identity is that he is a high-ranking priest next to the Pope and one of the researchers of the soul experiment. He was killed while fleeing.

Based on what he had learned, Oster already knew that the undead plague itself was a very suspicious thing. This Mobent is sure that he was framed by the real murderer behind the scenes after he died.

As for the identity of the real murderer, in fact, looking at the previous records, it is already coming out:

During the 19th to 20th years of the Star Gate, the headquarters of the Northern Bright Pope fought with the royal army of Lordaeron due to the issue of religious reform, and the northern countries were basically involved, which is known as the third major war. By the end of the 20th year of Stargate, all parties had died in the catastrophic level of intelligent magic out of control;

Pope Alonthos Fao, who was lucky enough to escape, and many high-ranking priests, hurriedly moved to the branch in the southern kingdom of Stormwind, just as the twilight plague began to rage.

Soon after, the Pope died of illness and was buried in the central mountain range of the Sunshine Grove, the large piece in the middle of the map, where it was claimed to be the entrance to the Green Dragon Territory and the Emerald Dream. His successor, Fatheon, renounced the papal title and remained Pope.

The answer is obvious: the Pope brought with him a large number of secret equipment and researchers from Lordaeron, including experimenters in soul fragment remodeling technology, and Morbent was one of them.

Although the Storm Division was also unable to protect itself at this time, and was banished to a ravine in the backwoods, it still had a place to stay, so as not to be driven into the sea to feed the fish. The Church, which had lost the territorial army and the protection of the Holy Light Energy, was eager to regain its strength, and rashly carried out research and experiments when the technology and conditions were not available; After that, a series of brainless undead events in Dawn State were inseparable from them.

But this is the end of this volume. Everything was mentioned, but nothing was explained. It seems that there are also disjointed dogs in the other world.

Oster was itching, and Skar was out of town for something, so he had no choice but to ask Marisa to find a way;

This little imp was asked for help by Oster for the first time, and he was so surprised that he directly stole the bookcase of the helper.

Find the Eternal Book of Stars that is treasured in the chest, and the next volume is called "The Soul Furnace".
