The Crusaders decided that the matter was quickly put into action. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The problem of food was easy to handle, and Locke sent someone to inform the newly built airstrip near Gadar that they would tell the news to the Silverpine Forest, and that Locke did not need to go back directly.

Because Locke bought a large number of gnoll druids, this year's grain matured very quickly and was of very good quality. In just half a year, the grain has been harvested twice. A large amount of grain in the warehouse was transported to Gadar in a steady stream. Having enough food, Locke informed Eva to form four more legions.

Today, Iva has earned countless legendary names in the Silver Pines Forest; 'Land of Hope', 'The Dawn of Doom', 'Lordaeron's Hope', etc.

Countless refugees flocked to the Silver Pine Forest from all over the country to Iva.

For most of the year, Iva has absorbed more than 100,000 refugees in the Silver Pine Forest alone. According to others, the Gilneys have also crossed the Greymane Wall, passed Ambermere, controlled by the Dalaran mages, and sailed through Lake Lordammere to make Iva their home.

The town of Iva was soon overpopulated and became bloated and prosperous. The extent of the town of Iva has expanded more than 5 times compared to before.

Under pressure from a huge population, Locke agreed to the stonemason's request to establish a city in the seaside harbor. Because of the war, Locke has been learning about the situation in the Silver Pine Forest remotely.

Originally, Locke wanted the goblins to set up a high-power signal repeater to connect all the camps of the Crusaders, but the effect was not optimistic. Large repeaters will always have various mechanical failures, perhaps because this sophisticated instrument still needs to be improved, Locke can only let the goblins assume that small and medium-sized repeaters are easy to contact, and this thing is still very troublesome to make, even if Gates makes it, the production is very low.

While Locke's southern theater was preparing for food, armies elsewhere in the Crusaders were making adjustments.

The four legions that went to Stratholme this time were all experienced veterans. However, threats elsewhere also need to be guarded against.

The Crusaders threatened the Tirisfal Glade, under the mill town of the Agamander family. In addition to the Fourth Army Corps, several newly formed garrison corps were stationed at the foot of the mountain one after another to monitor the movement on the mountain.

The Forsaken of the ruins of Lordaeron were also surrounded by the entire defensive line. Around it, the Sixth, Seventh, and Eighth Legions of the Silver Pine Forest. The ninth, tenth, eleventh, and twelfth legions of the Tirisfal Glade, a total of 7 legions, surrounded them.

Because of the Forsaken's attacks, Iva's air force patrols the area on a daily basis to monitor their movements.

When everything was ready, the paladins began their march towards the eastern kingdom of Stratholme.

Because of the geographical location, going to Stratholme had to cross the entire Lordaeron continent, and Locke was also prepared, but after passing through the undead barrier and leaving the Tirisfal Glade. The situation in eastern Lordaeron was still beyond Locke's imagination.

Because of the plague, the land here began to become gray and barren. Like a poisoned creature, the land was corroded by the plague and turned into a brownish-yellow powder. Even so, there are yellow weeds and shrubs growing on the ground.

The trees here decayed into huge, filthy mushroom-like shapes. It's like they've suddenly had a lesion and evolved in a different way.

Like the dense fog of the Tirisfal glades, there is a yellow or green fog everywhere. Even the air became dark.

Locke looked around, and from time to time he could see some beasts with rotting wounds. A glow of desperate eagerness and bloodlust against the marching army.

Locke couldn't help but frown when he looked at the environment here, the environment here was even worse than the Tirisfal Glade! So how did the 1st and 3rd Legions keep fighting here?! And other soldiers and civilians?!

Locke couldn't help but ask the big lord next to him, Mograine, "Why is the environment here so bad?!" How are our soldiers fighting here ?! ”

The High Lord Mograini, who may have been accustomed to seeing the vision of coming here, pulled up the scarf around his neck, wrapped it around his mouth and nose, and said to Locke in a somewhat muffled voice.

"Pull up your scarf, child. The air here is affected by the plague and contains toxins that we can't handle for the time being. ”

Locke pulled up the scarf and gagged it in his nose and mouth, and he looked around at the soldiers around him, and under the supervision of the non-commissioned officers and officers, he had already chosen to do so.

"The weather here wasn't like that before." High Lord Mograine sighed, his eyes a little misty, "Once upon a time, this was one of our Lordaeron's granaries. The mountains and rivers here are beautiful, and countless people work diligently on this happy land. ”

"Ever since the plague broke out of Andohar, it has rapidly worsened. The plague killed a large number of people, transforming them into undead monsters, and then proceeded to kill other peoples. Because of the slow reaction of the noble council, the situation here is completely out of control. When Alsace rose up to investigate, the people of the city had already been stricken with the plague. ”

"You know everything from now on." The Great Lord didn't say anything more about this matter, he just focused on the weather and the dense fog here, "Because the plague has corroded the land here, it has become difficult for life to survive. The first to be affected are the surrounding plants. ”

The High Lord pointed to the sickly trees around him, and the yellow and green smoke that could be seen everywhere from the woodlands and fields.

"The plague has corrupted the earth, and the land has become incomprehensible to us. And in order to survive, these big trees have undergone certain changes that we cannot understand, and they have become this mushroom-like shape. And this dense fog around them seems to be created by them. ”

"In this poisonous mist, all living things become bloodthirsty and manic. If it's serious, it will become extremely bloodthirsty, and at the same time, the poisonous fog will affect our body and cause some mutations in our body..."

Before the High Lord could finish speaking, a misshapen erect creature emerged from the green fog in the distance, staggering and making a 'hea-hee-hea' sound, and rushed towards the neatly marching procession here.

"It's like that monster." The Great Lord's tone was a little low.

Locke saw that the staggering monster was getting closer and closer. Its head looked like a swollen tumor, and its entire brain was covered by layers of thin scalps, and the beating blood vessels could be clearly seen. One of its arms was twenty centimeters thick and more than two yards long, dangling back and forth at one side of its body, while the other arm was less than a yard long. Bulging pustules can be seen everywhere on the body. One leg is thick and the other is thin, and he walks staggeringly.

The marching procession was not disproportionately disproportionate, and just as Locke was wondering, a group of soldiers appeared.

Locke saw that their attire and robes were a little different from the others. First of all, they were red robes and armor, which was clearly distinguished from the sky blue of the Crusaders, and the color of their armor was also painted red.

There were more than two dozen soldiers in this pair, and their composition was very complicated. There is a mage in a red robe?! There were also priests in red prosecutors' uniforms, warriors with large shields, soldiers with hounds, soldiers with longbows.

Locke stopped by the side of the road to see what they were going to do.

The soldiers didn't say anything because of Locke's identity, and they ignored Locke for the time being. The soldier in the team, who was suspected of being a mage, first raised his hand and rubbed it on his hand, and the bright magic energy formed in his hand. As his murmur ended, a purple-red spell flew to the monster's feet, and the monster's movements were instantly slowed down, as if something was controlling its body, and its body was moving slowly in slow motion.

At the same time, the priest in the team, dressed in the prosecutor's uniform, also began to attack the deformed monster using holy light. The monster's mouth began to roar, and wisps of light smoke began to emerge from its body.

But this injury is nothing to it. The monster visibly became angry, its body doubled in size, and its entire body was red as if it had gone berserk.

Just as Locke was about to dismount to help, the High Lord stopped him.

"Let's go, there's nothing to see, this monster is dead."

Locke looked at the Great Lord suspiciously, apparently that monster was okay?

Perhaps in response to Locke's question, the deformed monster suddenly exploded with a 'collapse' when it became extremely large!

Locke, who was concentrating on observation, didn't notice it for a while, jumped off his horse directly, and dodged.

However, his reaction was a little redundant, and the power of the monster's explosion was still far away from here, and it couldn't threaten them.

"New to the Western Plaguelands? My lord? Just as Locke was feeling a little embarrassed, the inspector on the patrol spoke up, he was a middle-aged priest, his hair looked a little bald at the top, and the few hairs were attached to his smooth scalp.

"Oh yes. I'm really shocked by this thing! Locke smiled awkwardly.

"It's okay adults, that's the case the first time we saw them." The prosecutor smiled, "My name is Yuri Mazarin, the prosecutor of the Firewall Valley Local Garrison Legion, the prosecutor of this patrol squad. ”

"Welcome to the Western Plaguelands. I'm sorry, but you'll be disappointed by the harsh environment. The prosecutor named Yuri smiled a little reluctantly, "This is our home, and we will restore it to its original state." ”

"Hats off to you! Warriors! Locke saluted the soldiers who were fighting on the front lines, and then he glanced at the distant lord and said goodbye to them.

"Goodbye then, may the Light be with you!" Locke rolled over his horse and chased forward.

Prosecutor Yuri Mazarin looked at Locke, who was riding away, and muttered, "Such a young leader? He's the commander of the Southern Theater, right? ”

"You can't be wrong, it's said to be a very promising big shot." The second lieutenant with a large shield in the team also stepped forward to look at Locke in the distance, "Such characters are gathered here, which means that we have made a big move again." ”

"Alas, Freeman. How I forgot to ask him that question! Prosecutor Yuri sighed, "The question we Stratholm people want to hear the most!" ”

"Next time, Yuri." Thomas. Second Lieutenant Freeman's hair was also a little gray, and he turned around and continued to walk slowly along the road, "Yuri, there will be a chance, we will continue to patrol." ”
