"I'm not a weak little girl. My mission is to investigate this plague. If there are indeed victims of the plague here, I must see them with my own eyes."

Alsace had no choice but to nod, and led the crowd towards the farm.

When the soldiers approached the gate, a disgusting stench hit their faces, as if they were about to enter a slaughterhouse, no, even the air in the slaughterhouse was cleaner than this.

When they opened the door, they realized that it was a rotten morgue at all, with more than a dozen rotting corpses that had been dilapidated and rotten lying in disorder.

Jaina covered her mouth and nose, her face was pale, and she didn't spit out all the food she ate last night with her strong will.

Alsace and the other soldiers didn't look too good-looking, but after the previous tempering, they could barely maintain normal.

The elf rangers frowned and stopped at the door. They had seen ten times more tragic scenes in their long lives, but the unknown plague still stopped them.

Only Timuzuo took out a pair of leather gloves and put them on, walked to a corpse like no one else, squatted down and turned it over for inspection.

"Your Highness, I'm afraid they didn't die of plague, but murder."

Zaimuza calmly pointed to several obvious penetrating wounds on the upper body of one of the female corpses.

"Huh? What weapon is this from? It doesn't look like a spear."

Arthas frowned, quite puzzled.

"Your Highness, if I'm not mistaken, it should be a pitchfork. This kind of thing is the most dangerous weapon in the hands of farmers."

"So they died in a weapon fight? Well, the chair fell down, the plate was broken, and there are indeed traces of fighting nearby. Huh? There are tooth marks and lacerations on the abdomen. Could it be the wild dogs or wolves nearby?"

"The canine tooth marks should be deeper and denser, with a lot of bleeding. I'm afraid she was eaten not long after she died, Your Highness."

"I'll take a look too."

Jaina regained her strength, she used magic to draw a gust of wind to blow out all the stench in the house, then checked all the corpses with Arthas, and then came to the same conclusion.

All the victims died of murder rather than plague, and many of the bodies were mutilated, possibly by some kind of scavenging creature, but not the usual dogs, wolves, gnolls, let alone ogres.

Just as the two were discussing what kind of creature it was, there was a sudden commotion outside the house.

"what happened?"

Alsace rushed out of the door first and asked.

"Your Highness, we found a survivor, right there."

Alsace followed the direction indicated by the soldiers, and sure enough, he saw the back of a farmer in a dark place in a barn. He seemed to be kneeling in front of a dead body, with his back to everyone, and said nothing.

"I am Prince Arthas! I am here to help you! Tell me, what happened here?"

Alsace didn't think too much, walked towards the survivor, patted him on the shoulder, forced him to turn his head, and then he saw the most terrifying scene in his life.

This man was wearing rough and thick linen clothes and overalls, and looked no different from an ordinary farmer from the back, but when he turned his head, he was simply a walking nightmare!

Gray-green remnants of skin and flesh hung on his cheeks, and there were white eyeballs in his haggard eye sockets.The rotten hands were holding a piece of meat that was also rotten, and sticky black sap was hanging from his mouth. With his phlegmatic roar, dots of sap fell on Alsace's hands.

Alsace didn't know whether the monster in front of him was dead or still alive. Filled with horror, he raised his leg reflexively, kicked the monster into a pile of hay, turned and ran out of the barn.

Immediately afterwards, Arthas took off the warhammer from his back, and with the help of the lit holy light, he saw more monsters standing up in the barn!

Like poking a hornet's nest, more zombies rushed out of the barn and other rooms in an instant.

"Enemy attack! Formation! Protect Your Highness!"

The two teams of soldiers led by Zaimozuo were the best of the best. Although they hadn't learned how to deal with such an enemy, they still obeyed Zaimozuo's order and quickly gathered around Alsace to prevent him from being besieged. Get ready to fight.

A zombie with a pitchfork rushed up first, and the first to respond were Sera and several other elf rangers. Their bows and arrows accurately penetrated into the enemy's chest and even the heart, but the result was that the enemy retreated. a few steps.

"Are they unkillable?"

A soldier yelled in horror, fear and uneasiness spread among them.

Alsace also gasped, and just as he was about to step forward, Zaimuza made a move.

The adjutant easily blocked the attacking pitchfork with his shield, and then charged at the head of the zombie owl in the front with a sword. When the head flew into the straw shed of the stable, the monster never stood up again.

"Are you wearing diapers? Are you holding fire sticks? Kill them all!"

Amid the reprimands, the soldiers regained their composure and began to meet the enemy.

After hammering a zombie into pieces, Alsace regained his former composure. He found that although these zombies looked a little more terrifying, their fighting power was really inferior.

The speed is not too fast, and the strength is not too great. Except for some holding pitchforks, most of the others are unarmed, not to mention soldiers wearing plate armor and fully armed, even a well-trained militia can completely fight one-on-one. To win, the premise is that he doesn't pee his pants.

And when Jaina also joined the battle, the battle became easier.

Following a few incantations, the flames swayed and crackled in her small hands, and then a fireball as big as a calf flew towards the most densely populated barn zombies. The moment the fireball exploded, countless fiery tongues instantly engulfed her. Seven or eight zombies were killed, and they became a scorched corpse on the ground, and the unlucky ghost in the center of the explosion didn't even have any residue left.

After a while, these monsters were all wiped out. In order to prevent them from standing up again, Arthas followed Zaimozao's suggestion and gathered all the corpses together for Jaina to burn.

He turned his head to look at Jaina on the side. The mage's originally beautiful face had been blackened by the smoke, and only flesh-colored traces could be seen where the sweat slipped down. He looked a little embarrassed, but in Alsace's eyes More beautiful than normal face.

For a long time, apart from the sizzling sound of the flames devouring the corpses, the surroundings returned to the usual silence. Alsace was very happy that these corpses had turned into ashes and would never appear in front of him again. Suddenly he Turning around and asking:

"The report from the intelligence department said that the Cult of the Damned was able to bring the dead back to life. It must be referring to these monsters. Jaina, do you think this is caused by magic? Could it be that someone killed them and then awakened the corpse? Or is it related to the plague? ?”

Even though Jaina was in a bit of a panic when she first met the zombies, she quickly recovered her calm and calm demeanor, and said slowly:

"According to Saruman. Special Life Forms: Volume III. 45-47, some dying creatures will indeed turn into undead wandering in the world under certain conditions; necromancers and warlocks can also resurrect dead bodies .We saw instances of this in two orc wars, the first time they raised skeletons from corpses, and the second with death knights. The former was weak and cost very little mana, the latter It completely replicates the memory ability of the deceased, but it also requires a very powerful mage and consumes a variety of expensive materials to do it; in addition, it is also mentioned in Riddle. Gradually turning into undead. I need more evidence and experiments to be able to determine which one they are."

Arthas was grateful for Jaina's assiduous learning from books, but this explanation only confused others, because she seemed to be reciting some academic literature instead of answering questions.

Fortunately, Jaina is not exactly a nerd who can only memorize by rote. She led the people to search the entire village to find evidence, and soon discovered the abnormality.

The barn at the back of the farm caught her attention, and her expression became serious.

"What's wrong with this barn?"

Alsace asked, he was the one who met the zombies here before.

The elves and rangers also discovered the problem. Sera bowed his head and grabbed a handful of dry soil and withered grass. The soil condensed into dark brown lumps, but unlike the rich black soil, there was almost no water in it, and the roots of the grass were also thickened. dead.And just a few meters away, although most of the grass is also withered and yellow due to autumn, she is sure that as soon as spring comes, everything will recover.

"What's abnormal is the ground... The land here is dying. I remember the vicinity of the Dark Portal, which is exactly the same as here."

"Your Highness, Ms. Jaina! Take a look at this."

Timuzuo commanded two soldiers to move out some crates from the barn, which contained some unground wheat and ground flour.

As an insider of the plot, he felt uncomfortable after listening to everyone discussing for a long time but couldn't discuss the main points, but with Medivh's lessons learned, he could only remind him from the side in these ways.

There was something obviously wrong with the wheat, no longer a lustrous yellow-white or golden, but a dull dark brown with a musty and sour smell.

As for flour, only a small number of upper-class people in Lordaeron can afford white bread, so the popular way is to grind wheat, wheat bran and some miscellaneous grains together. Except for a slight musty smell, these flours are almost normal and normal. Flour is no different.

Jaina picked up some grains of wheat to observe, but then threw them away like a snake, yelling in panic:

"Damn! Someone put a curse on these grains here! Then these curses spread through the food, just like the plague!"

Hearing that there was a curse on the seeds, the two soldiers who had just been ordered by Zai Muzuo to move out of the box suddenly panicked, shaking their hands desperately, as if this could shake off the curse.

The other soldiers immediately distanced themselves from the two unlucky guys.

Alsace's color changed instantly, and he grabbed Jaina's hands without thinking, and then chanted the prayer, and the warm light flowed into Jaina's palm from Alsace's palm.

Through the perception of the holy light, he did feel the existence of that curse in Jaina's body, but it was very weak, and the power of the holy light easily expelled it, which made Arthas breathe a sigh of relief.

"Thanks, I think I'm fine."

Jaina whispered.

Next, Alsace checked the two unlucky guys and Zaimuzao again, but he didn't find the cursed figure.

"Your soldiers are all wearing iron gloves. It seems that the curse needs direct contact to take effect, and it takes a long time to happen. That's why they chose to hide these curses in the food."

Jaina analyzed.

Cai Muzuo thought to himself, if you look at it this way, it seems that the so-called undead plague is no big deal?Firstly, it takes time, secondly, direct contact is required, and thirdly, the combat effectiveness of the transformed zombies can also be called excellent, which is far worse than the several biochemical viruses he has heard that can spread in the air and mutate within ten minutes or even seconds after contact. Yes, as long as the army is mobilized in advance and prepared well, everything can be wiped out in the bud.

Thinking about this, Timuzuo coughed, pointed to the crate on the ground and said solemnly:

"These boxes all have Andorhal's seal on them, and that is the material distribution center of the entire Northern Autonomous Province. The surrounding farms, large and small, sell their food there, and then flow from Andorhal to major towns. Your Highness, the intelligence department has a week We lost contact with the informants in the north before, and we need to prepare for the worst, that is, all the towns in the northern province will be infected, including Anhador, Caer Darrow, Hearthglen, and even Stratholme, the Holy Light May the Church and Darrow County."

"Fariq, immediately send a messenger to tell my father and king! No, this is too slow!"

Whenever Zaimozuo said the name of a town, Arthas's face became paler. In the middle of speaking, he suddenly grabbed Jaina's shoulders, and the huge force made the mage a little bit overwhelmed.

"Gianna, can you teleport to the capital?"

Jaina tried to shake off Arthas's pincer-like hands, but when she saw the hopeful look in Arthas' eyes, she turned her head and gave up struggling.

"I'm sorry, long-distance teleportation needs to leave a teleportation mark in advance to ensure accuracy and safety. I didn't leave a teleportation mark there, but I can teleport back to Dalaran immediately. My teacher Antonidas must have a way to notify King Terenas."

After hearing such an answer, Arthas let go of Jaina, and part of the blood returned to his face.

So under Jaina's command, everyone began to help her build a teleportation circle.

When everything was ready, Jaina seemed to have made up her mind, took off a necklace decorated with various gemstones from her neck and put it on for Alsace, then pecked his cheek lightly with her lips.

"what is this?"

Alsace was a little embarrassed by such an intimate act in full view.

"This necklace stores several protective spells I made myself, and it can also serve as a teleportation mark. When everything is over, I will return to you immediately."

"Ms. Jaina, can you let Master Antonidas inform Quel'Thalas by the way?"

Before leaving, several elf rangers discussed for a while, and led by Sera stepped forward and asked suddenly.

Although the relationship between humans and elves is not as close as that of dwarves, there are still some basic trades. Quel'Thalas is located in the northeastern border of Lordaeron. Stratholme was only a few days away.

Although, as rangers who were excluded from the outside world, they had a bit of a feud with the high elves in power, but they were even more unwilling to see this scene in front of them happen in their homeland.

"Of course, Prince Kael'thas of your country has been in Dalaran, and I will tell him all this personally."

"Thank you for your understanding, we will continue to fulfill the contract until the real culprit of this disaster is eliminated."

The elf rangers saluted Jaina one after another. Jaina, the apprentice of the chief mage of Dalaran, came to warn Quel'Thalas. Naturally, it was more useful than a few unwelcome civilians. Salas, the most likely will only be driven out as a lunatic.

"Thank you for your help too, see you later."

After returning the gift, Jaina disappeared in a teleportation circle composed of intricate inscriptions with a blinding white light.

Alsace touched the necklace on his neck, laughed silly, and relaxed the tense heartstrings before, because he knew that as long as his father, King Terenas, mentor Uther, and the archmage If Antonidas and the others understand the situation here, they will definitely be able to eliminate this disaster, no matter what is hidden behind it.

Since these heroes of the previous generation have saved this continent from disaster once, then this time it will certainly be possible.

Thinking of this, Alsace was full of confidence in the future. After carefully putting the necklace into his collar, he coughed and said to Zai Muzao and the others:

"Brothers! And elf friends! Reinforcements will arrive soon, and this plague will be quelled. But that doesn't mean there is nothing to do! We must investigate more information before the large army arrives , and find and destroy all contaminated barns! Farric, get the map. First, we'll start by examining the surrounding villages, and then we'll march towards Anhador..."

Unlike Alsace, who was full of energy, Zaimozao's face was still sinking, because Jaina asked for support a few days or even weeks in advance. From this moment on, the plot had diverged from what he knew.

The best situation is that the top management of the alliance react quickly when they hear the news, and immediately mobilize for war, regardless of the orcs going to Kalimdor, and mobilize the scattered troops to encircle and suppress the Cult of the Damned , In this case, Zai Muzao doesn't need to make any effort at all, just mix in the back and cheer for soy sauce.

Now the main force of the Scourge is still far away in Nordson. The Cult of the Damned and the dread Lord Malganis behind them are definitely not the opponents of the alliance, and it is even impossible to resist the power of a single kingdom of Lordaeron.

There is another possibility, because Jaina asked for support in advance under the reminder of Zai Muzao, but after all, they only found some of the most common and garbage zombies, those more ferocious undead monsters, and witches lurking in the dark. The black hands behind the scenes, such as the demon Kel'Thuzad and the dreaded demon king Mal'Ganis, have not yet appeared.

In this way, there is a chance that the top management of the alliance will make a misjudgment, thinking that the Cult of the Cursed God is nothing more than that, and thus underestimate the enemy.

However, since Zaimuza dared to come to the present with Alsace, he naturally made complete preparations. Encouraging Jaina to ask for help was his first step in changing the plot.

The worst-case scenario was that after doing so much, he still couldn't change anything, and Arthas ended up in Stratholme.

But even at that time, Cai Muzuo still had a way out, a way out that he didn't want to choose.

…………

After burning all the contaminated food, Alsace led Zaimuza and others along the King's Road. In the evening of this day, they found another slightly larger village. Fortunately, the previous tragedy had not yet Happening here.

According to the villagers, this is because the old village chief cut off all communication with the outside world as soon as he heard about the plague, and no strangers would be allowed to enter the village.

After Cai Muzuo told them about the tragedy in the neighboring village and the current situation, more than a dozen farmers and hunters chose to follow Alsace with crude daggers and short bows, not only to defend their homeland, but also to gain a future for themselves.

"Prince Arthas, we are willing to follow you to fight for Lordaeron."

These peasants had no armor, only inferior short swords and short bows as weapons, but Arthas chose to accept them.

"Your Highness, we don't have enough horses. Bringing them along will only slow down our march."
