Chapter 258: Favoritism?

Lockzer caught up with the Great Lord, who had gone away, and he had a stomach full of questions that he wanted to ask him. Pen Ɨ fun Ɨ Pavilion www. biquge。 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

"Done?" The Grand Lord Mograini asked with a lonely expression.

Locke nodded, he also wanted to ask if there was no solution?

"After the research of the scholars of our Crusaders, as well as the priests and mages, we want to solve the plague problem here. It is necessary to eradicate the source and cut off the source of the plague. Then use the Holy Light, the druid's life spell to drive out the plague in the land and restore life in this land. ā€

"The source of the plague here is the former city of Andorhar, where more than 200,000 people used to live, and no one knows what has become of it. Because of these poisonous fogs, the First and Third Legions could never penetrate too far on both sides of the road. And what we Crusaders can do now is to ensure that the road to the Hand of Tyr, the Chapel of the Light's Wish, and Stratholme is clear. ā€

"When the road was opened, the First Legion sacrificed a lot of soldiers. Most of these soldiers were poisoned while cutting down the deformed trees. Outside the road, the necromancers of the Scourge undead controlled the undead to attack the soldiers, and the only mages were sent out to fight the mages. ā€

The Grand Lord sighed and didn't continue.

Locke could imagine such a scene in his mind, countless soldiers covering their mouths and noses along the sides of the road, frantically cutting down trees to open up this lifeline. On both sides of the road, the undead of the Scourge continued to pour out, attacking the Crusaders. The mages use magic to help the soldiers resist the attacking undead while engaging in magical warfare with the necromancers.

This line is truly a lifeline, connecting with the eastern part of the kingdom, connecting the Hand of Tyr and the paladins and priests of the Chapel of Light's Wish.

And in the beginning, it was a miracle that Baron Tairossos and they were able to come.

But Locke knew that there was more to the plague than that. Everywhere in this land, there are psychics of the Cursed Sect, who use the plague cauldron to constantly boil the plague.

That's how most of the yellow fog in the sky comes from, and it's what makes this place what it is.

It's not hard to rule the land, but the scattering of the land by priests and druids can only cure the symptoms. It is still necessary to destroy the Cursed Cult and capture Andorhar, but this problem will not be solved for the time being in the situation of the Crusaders.

"Oh, why are those soldiers wearing red uniforms? The same as the Grand Commander's? Locke asked this question, because seeing their blood-red costumes reminded Locke of the Scarlet Crusaders in his previous life.

It's just the same touch.

"Their team is very complete, even the prosecutor, priest, and mage are assigned to the patrol? When did we get to the point where there were so many professionals? ā€

The High Lord seemed reluctant to answer the question, as if he was deliberately avoiding it.

Neither of them spoke for a while, and the only sound around them was the silent advance of the soldiers, and the sound of the war horses under their crotches snorting.

After a long silence, the Grand Lord Mograini slowly looked up at the misty field in the distance, and a deep voice reached Locke's ears.

"Millions of people once lived on this land. Our human life is tenacious, and we can find a way to survive even in the harshest environment. The Great Lord said something inexplicable, which made Locke a little confused.

"In the beginning, the soldiers patrolling the road would always encounter civilians from the wilderness asking for help. Alone and miserable, the patrolling soldiers rescued the poor civilians and temporarily placed them in their camps. The Great Lord's face was sad, and he gripped the reins of his horse under his crotch with all his might.

"But this was the beginning of the disaster."

High Lord Mograini calmed down, he looked at the thick fog in the field, "For some time after that, we will always lose track of the patrol team on this frontline road. Often, not long after they have accepted the refugees, everyone in the camp disappears without a trace. ā€

"After the loss of hundreds of soldiers, Abydis and I chose to live for some time in patrols on the front line. We quickly found out what the problem was," the High Lord sighed, "the refugees who came to ask for help, some of whom had been controlled by the necromancers and became their minions, disguised themselves as refugees to ask for help from patrol soldiers, after returning to the soldiers' camp. While the soldiers were letting their guard down on them, an attack was launched on the soldiers. Necromancers disguised in the vicinity will also use spells to control the minds of the soldiers, eventually capturing them for evil experiments. ā€

"That's why you see these patrols, it's so configured. After all, civilians still have to be saved. And you also saw that monster just now, many civilians from the wilderness don't know that they have actually been poisoned. If not carefully inspected, they can pose a danger to other civilians when they come to the rear. ā€

"These plagues are fearful of the Light, and the Inquisitor exists for that."

"What if someone finds out poison and plague?" Locke's question is actually the same as Stratholme's question of purification or not, who makes the decision and who suffers in his heart.

"If you don't seriously accept the dispelling of the Holy Light, you can still live. And serious ...... It will be purified directly by the Holy Light. "The High Lord struggled to utter the word purification.

Purification, humane destruction!

Locke couldn't help but be silent, this is a heavy topic, and it is also a topic that considers human nature, and there are different interpretations from everyone's point of view. The Crusaders had to kill this man for the safety of the others. And this man infected with the plague just wants to live. They don't necessarily think about the lives of others, and they even know that if they are infected with the plague, they will mingle with the civilians.

People are selfish.

That night they rushed to Darsun Farm, where the First and Third Regiments had been waiting for a long time. Locke told Bridget to distribute the prepared food to each legion.

Sleeping in a tent that night, Locke always tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. The closer he got to Stratholme, the more torment and worry he felt in his heart, and the more he became a little nervous.

He even wondered if he would find a way to control the Grand Commander Dassault Khan so that he could not appear in Stratholme. But he immediately dismissed the idea, and even if Banazal didn't parasitize him, he might look for another target. In this way, I can't know who it is, so it's better to keep the status quo and wait for the place to improvise.

After a brief night's rest, the soldiers began to assemble, and the army grew much stronger.

Locke stood at the intersection of Darson's farm, looking out at the road to the south.

The road leads to Andorjar, and less than thirty kilometres away, you can see the ruins of Lordaeron's second largest city and granary.

The road is now surrounded by abandoned farmland and windmills spinning in the polluted air. The tall umbellifera shows that it was once a forest.

"Andorhar, once the second largest city in our kingdom. It used to be the agricultural center of Lordaeron, and now we don't know what is there. This mushroom forest is blocking our ability to scout there, and sooner or later we will reclaim it. ā€

Locke hurriedly turned his head to look and found the Grand General Abydis standing behind him.

"Don't be nervous, I'm not here to quarrel with you." The general waved his hand, and the paladin in the prime of life obviously had something to say to Locke.

Because of Bridget's relationship, Locke is always a head shorter when facing him.

"I—" Locke thought to himself, trying to give himself something to say on this occasion.

"Just listen to me." The general whispered, and he suddenly walked up to Locke, and put his arm around Locke, and the two of them hooked their shoulders as if they were on good terms.

"Hi boy. Don't move, listen to me slowly. General Abydis stopped Locke's movements, and he looked up to signal to the distance, looking at Bridget in worry, "My daughter is watching this, don't let her worry!" ā€

"Okay."

Locke relaxed, and the two of them smiled together in Bridget's direction.

"It's a nice day, let's go over there and see how the soldiers are preparing!" General Abydis shouted loudly, then hooked Locke's shoulders and pulled him away from Bridget's sight.

As soon as Brigitte was out of Bridget's sight, General Abydis pulled Locke out of his arms, and he looked at Locke with some anger.

"What's the matter with you? How do you get Bridget to come with you to attack Stratholme? Don't you know that it's the base camp under the control of the Scourge undead? I thought you'd find a way to come up with another legion and let Bridget rest in the Silverpine Forest! ā€

Looking at the general's worried and angry face, Locke suddenly relaxed. Apparently he doesn't care about the matter between him and Bridget, maybe he is too lazy to care about this kind of thing, right?

"You should ask your daughter about this, not about my general." Locke said with an expression of knowingness, "Do you know what kind of temper your daughter is, and when you learn the name of the Expeditionary Legion, do you think she will stay in the Silver Pine Forest with peace of mind?" ā€

"What's more, this time, except for some paladins in key positions who didn't come, the other paladins have arrived. How could she not come? ā€

"Alas," General Abydis sighed, his expression becoming complicated.

Locke didn't say much about this, what parent doesn't feel distressed and worried about their children? Especially when going to such a dangerous place, you must know that Stratholme is now the capital of the Scourge on this continent!

If you think about it on your toes, you will know that it is full of dangers, and it is no wonder that Abidis would favor him.

"Protect her, now your status in her heart is higher than mine, the father who raised her for so many years!" General Abydis glared at Locke angrily, "You bastard! How did you hook her heart!! ā€

Locke could only smile wryly, obviously the father in front of him was jealous.

"I promise! It won't hurt her! Locke nodded hurriedly, and with this he acknowledged the matter between himself and Bridget.
