As long as they continue to live on this land, it will only be a matter of time before they join the Scourge.

If I were you, I would not waste precious time on saving people, but would kill all the residents of Stratholme in the fastest and most efficient way.

Only in this way can they be prevented from becoming members of the undead army.

Okay, that's enough chatting, let's continue with today's competition.

In order to put a little more pressure on you, I will use all my strength today."

With the last word blurted out, the Dread Lord suddenly waved his hands and released shadow energy, directly destroying a large area of ​​​​houses behind him, and many infected people hiding in the houses and basements were instantly exposed.

He directly used necromancy magic to forcibly turn living people into zombies and ghouls.

In an instant, these undead creatures swarmed towards the civilians who were fleeing outside the city. Every time they caught up with one, they would quickly knock them down, kill them, and cut their bodies into pieces. The scene was extremely bloody and cruel.

"No!!!!!!"

Alsace was instantly angered, raised his warhammer and released holy light to purify a large area of ​​undead, and quickly organized soldiers to establish a defense line.

With just one face-to-face encounter, the battle between the two sides completely heated up.

Seeing that he had once succeeded in irritating the prince to lose his mind, Mal'Ganis immediately burst into harsh laughter.

After clearing out this wave of undead creatures, Alsace rushed to the next street like crazy and impatiently, kicked or smashed open the doors like a robber, and used a hammer to kill those he thought were hopeless.

civilians.

Each time he kills one, he counts them in a very low voice.

"Two thousand one hundred and fifty-one, two thousand one hundred and fifty-two, two thousand one hundred and fifty-three..."

At the beginning, every time a number was added, the prince's heart would be cut open by a knife called pain and become dripping with blood.

But as we all know, people have their limits when it comes to enduring pain.

After crossing a certain critical point, the brain will gradually adapt and become more and more numb in order to protect itself.

When most of the city's people perished in this massacre, Alsace's kindness and compassion completely disappeared, replaced by another stronger emotion - hatred.

He didn't realize at all that he had unknowingly abandoned his original purpose, which was to save the Kingdom of Lordaeron and protect the defenseless civilians, and began to do whatever it took to kill Mal'Ganis.

In the end, in order to win the so-called "killing match", no one was spared, but all of them were killed.

Even the loyal Farric couldn't bear to see such an action. He tried to persuade him several times and told him that this was actually a trap by the Dread Lord.

But unfortunately, at this time, the prince could no longer listen to any words and completely turned into a monster dominated by hatred.

Having personally witnessed Alsace's depravity from a good crown prince full of justice and sense of responsibility to what he is now in just a few days, Zuo Si's first disciple and pastor, Lanni, felt that the whole world had collapsed.

Watching the former lead the few remaining troops on the ship to Northrend, he finally couldn't help but lost his mind and asked his god: "Why? Why did it become like this? The prince is obviously a good person, and he resisted in Hearthglen.

The undead army always takes the lead when attacking, and has even been injured more than once while protecting others."

Zuo Si replied very simply: "Because there are few things in this world that are truly eternal.

Mortals, in particular, are most susceptible to sudden changes due to the influence of external factors and the environment.

The tragedy of Prince Alsace stems from his hugely flawed character, which is inseparably related to his growth experience, environment and the people he met.

Remember how human he is now, maybe the next time we meet, we may be enemies.

By the way, how did it go when I asked you to send people to collect the ownerless property in Stratholme City?"

"I have asked the church to organize believers to search and transport everything that can be used in the city.

Currently, I have accumulated quite a lot of gold, silver and copper coins, as well as some valuable goods and collectibles.

If you can find a way to sell them, you should be able to buy a lot of merchant ships.

As for food, once the wheat and oats in the fields are harvested, plus the purified food in barns in various places, there should be enough to feed hundreds of thousands of people for a year.

But are you sure we really want to leave the Kingdom of Lordaeron and settle in the tropical Stranglethorn Valley in the far south?"

There was obvious hesitation in Lanni's tone.

Because he knew that not everyone was willing to leave their homes and venture into a tropical rain forest full of beasts and trolls.

After all, the end of the Stratholme incident made many civilians mistakenly believe that the Scourge and the Plague had been eliminated.

They once again found peace and tranquility and could continue their previous lives.

Little did they know that the Scourge did not disappear, but were hidden under the orders of the Lich King.

When Prince Arthas returns as a death knight, an extremely brutal massacre will be staged once again.

And this time there will be no mercy or compassion at all, and ninety-nine percent of all living creatures from East Weald to Silverpine Forest will be slaughtered.

"I'm pretty sure.

Because the only result of staying is death, you'd better not take any chances.

As for those who don't want to leave, just respect their choice and let them stay. There is no need to force it.

I only help those who believe in me and are willing to be saved by me, and leave the rest to fend for themselves.

As for the realization of wealth, we can ask Gianna for help.

I believe that Kul Tiras, which has an extremely developed shipbuilding industry, would not mind selling some merchant ships to us.

In addition, as long as you can afford it, those goblins should be able to provide similar services.

Plus the ships docked in Stratholme Port are definitely enough.”

Zuo Si was obviously fully prepared for this migration and took advantage of the chaos and power vacuum in this area after the war.

Otherwise, when King Terenas reacts and once again sends officials and nobles to restore his rule, such large-scale population migration will inevitably be mercilessly blocked and suppressed, and may even be labeled as treason.

crime.

"Understood, I will do my best to persuade all believers to leave by boat with the large army."

Lanni put one hand on his chest and bowed deeply.

He had never had even the slightest doubt about the great god in front of him who had saved him and tens of thousands of innocent civilians, but had given him full and unreserved trust.

Relying on the influence established by treating large numbers of people infected by the plague, the church quickly swept through Andorhal except where the Knights of the Silver Hand were stationed.

All other towns and villages.

On the main road, you can see groups of villagers driving their families and carriages, donkey carts, and ox carts to Stratholme at the call of the church. The population gathered in the suburbs outside the city quickly reached a hundred thousand people.

.

Although this number of people can only be regarded as a fraction of the populous Kingdom of Lordaeron, it looks extremely spectacular from a distance.

In order to avoid the trouble caused by management and a series of chain reactions caused by a large population gathering, Zuo Si quickly ordered the church to organize manpower to clear the port first, planning to board a ship and go to sea nearby.

About two days later, the first batch of refugees took a boat to sea and embarked on a journey to build a new home. The total number was about 10,000.

As for the destination, of course it was the mouth of the Sancha River south of the Grom'gol camp that the tribe later established in Stranglethorn Valley.

Not only is the terrain here suitable for farming, but it can also take full advantage of the convenience of water transportation to control the entire northern area of ​​Stranglethorn Vale, and it can also trade with the Kingdom of Stormwind.

It is the most strategically valuable place in Stranglethorn Vale besides Booty Bay.

Perhaps the only drawback is that it is a bit close to Zul'Gurub, so you need to always be wary of raids launched by the Gurubashi trolls.

However, Zuo Si teleported to Booty Bay and spent a lot of money to bribe the rich man Levi Gatz, who promised to provide enough musketeers and bombardiers to protect the safety of the refugees until the construction of the walled city was completed.

He can also teleport there for rescue when necessary, so it shouldn't be a big problem.

In addition, Blackwater pirates will also patrol along the coastline to prevent the notorious Bloodsail pirates from taking advantage of the situation, while providing long-range artillery support.

As the large-scale migration began to proceed in an orderly manner, Zuo Si finally became a lot more leisurely and could devote his main energy to how to make his fragile body stronger.

This is obviously not an easy thing.

Because any human body modification means huge risks.

What's more, the only thing he can use now is a copy of the Dread Lord's blood, so the danger is extremely high.

If given the choice, Zuo Si hopes to obtain the blood of the guardian dragon. Whether it is the red dragon representing life or the blue dragon representing magic, they are both very good choices.

But it was a pity that he had no choice but to extract the part of the blood that could change his physique and inject it into the blood vessels with the help of the Nine Rings' [Miracle Technique].

Since the essence of miracles is that the priest prays for intervention from the gods or divine powers he believes in, this behavior is basically a descending consciousness requesting support from the main body.

After about twenty to thirty seconds, blood flowed throughout the body, and a mental shock that could not be described in words surged into the brain.

It felt like ten thousand needles were pricking me repeatedly, so that dark red blood flowed from my eyes, ears, mouth and nose.

Fortunately, this very dangerous and somewhat unstable substance did not cause any serious negative effects in the end.

On the contrary, the affinity for the two energies of shadow and death has been greatly improved.

And can transform ordinary elemental flames into fel flames like a warlock.

In addition, the amount of magic power that can be stored in the body has also increased several times, and finally there is no need to worry about how to allocate the pitiful amount of magic power in battle.

The only problem is that the skin starts to take on an unhealthy pale color, just like the Dreadlord.

And there is always an inexplicable hunger and thirst, wanting to absorb the spiritual power of the fragile mortals around him.
