Chapter 2521 Stratholme
"What's the matter?" Ner'zhul, who was hiding in the Northrend glacier, found that he couldn't feel Kel'Thuzad anymore, and he faintly felt that his plan seemed to have an accident.
After finishing Kel'Thuzad, Shen Long walked out as if nothing had happened, and then went to the granary to check. Sure enough, the grain here was empty and the grain had been shipped out. Shen Long supported the nearby big tree with one hand. I meditated for a long time, until Fariq and others came over, "Your Highness, all the zombies here have been cleaned up."
There was a bit of awe in his tone. Their prince had previously defeated the orcs of the Blackstone tribe and rescued the people of Lordaeron, and now he personally killed a powerful lich. These two achievements are enough to obtain their respect.
"Very good, but now is not the time to rest. Stratholme is waiting for us to rescue them. We must stop them before this batch of grain reaches Stratholme! Otherwise, it will be bad for this batch of grain to enter the market. "Shen Long said that if the citizens of Stratholme are infected with the plague, there is no way to treat them.
The holy light only has an effect on the mild and untransformed infected people. Even if a powerful paladin is infected with the plague, he can't stop the disease and can only barely maintain his sanity. What's more, ordinary people cannot be cured by magic.
In all the plots, there were only two cases where the plague was resolved. One was the fire of the red dragon. In the cutscene of Scourge Gate, the rebellious apothecary sprinkled a gaseous green plague, and later the red dragon flew over to spray life. The fire, burn the plague; the second time is the cutscene of version 8.0, Jaina's cutscene of the Battle of Lordaeron, Sylvanas released a massive gaseous plague, Jaina drove her father's boat, An ice formation was completely dispelled.
But these two plagues didn't have a large-scale infection, they were just resolved during the release process, and the plague released by Cirvanas wasn't a natural disaster of the undead, so its power wasn't that great.
The massacre of Stratholme in Alsace is also forced to help. These citizens have been infected with the virus of the undead natural disaster and are about to turn into zombies. If they are not killed, more people will suffer, and even the whole of Lordaeron will become undead. Uther would only stop him, but could not come up with a solution, and Jaina chose to escape, leaving him alone.
Alsace's mistake was not in massacring the city, but in not taking on this responsibility. This is a heavy decision, so when he made a heavy decision, was he prepared to bear this heavy responsibility? Judging from Alsace's subsequent actions, he did not bear the heavy pressure, and he was crushed.
The strong pressure made him unbalanced. He made the decision to massacre the city but did not dare to bear the moral pressure of massacring the city, so he was crushed by the pressure. In the process, his mentor Uther, his lover Jaina They didn't help him, but pushed him into the abyss step by step.
Judging from this process, Alsace does not have the qualities that a real king should have. If you were replaced by Cao Cao, he would definitely slaughter Stratholme mercilessly, and hold a ceremony for these unfortunate people after he was done. A grand funeral, and then a ceremony in person crying bitterly, so that he will not be overwhelmed by this little moral pressure.
Or change to a king with more sophisticated means. He will not do it himself, but use other means to force Uther and others to do it. When the matter is resolved, the moral pressure and the pressure of public opinion will be thrown on Uther and others. Then you can enjoy the results in peace; if you want to say that qualified courtiers should prevent the king from falling into this moral dilemma, Alsace's means of controlling his subordinates need to be strengthened.
Look at Zhu Yuanzhang,
Liao Yongzhong thoughtfully helped him deal with Han Lin'er without giving orders, so as to prevent Zhu Yuanzhang from being blamed for usurping the throne. What a powerful method.
However, Shen Long still had time to stop the batch of grain being sent to Stratholme so that he would not be caught in a dilemma. He pointed to the road ahead and said, "The batch of grain has only been transported for a day. If we speed up, we must Can catch up."
The speed of the cart transporting food is definitely not as fast as the horses of the knights. Falrick and others have seen the power of zombies, so they dare not neglect, immediately drop all unnecessary salutes and go to battle lightly. Shen Long also helped Jaina , "I have to interrupt your rest, we should go! There is a bigger crisis waiting for us to solve!"
Jaina was exhausted before, and she hasn't recovered yet. Master, she knows that her lover wants to make sure that she can arrive in time, and she also understands his worries. How many lives are hanging by a thread, so when Shen Long asked her if she could drive overnight, She nodded.
They had been galloping for four hours when Jaina realized she was about to slip off the horse. She was so exhausted that she lost consciousness for a few seconds. She woke up in a panic and grabbed hold of the horse's mane and pulled her body back into the saddle. , then reined in and stopped.
She grabbed the reins and sat there, trembling. Shen Long immediately noticed her strangeness. The mage's physical fitness was far inferior to that of a knight, let alone a female mage. Jaina heard him ordering the team to stop in a daze. Going forward, looking at Shen Long who was trotting over speechlessly, "Jianna, what's wrong?"
"I... I'm sorry, Arthas, I know you want to get there as soon as possible, and so do I—but I'm so tired, I almost fell off my horse, can we stop? Just a moment." Jaina was really sad She couldn't help it, maybe there was a reason for her choosing to escape later. She didn't dare to think, if she didn't delay this time, would Alsace and the others be able to reach Stratholme in time to stop the food.
"Stop and eat something, the horses are tired too, and they also need to rest!" Shen Long looked at the sweating horses, then at Jaina who was about to faint, and gave an order.
Then he personally took the dry food and water from the quartermaster to them, and took this opportunity to mix a drop of fairy water into the drinking water, and put a drop into the water of the horses, which was enough to restore their strength.
So not long after eating, they regained their strength. Falik said in surprise, "Holy Light, it must be the Holy Light protecting us! I feel my strength is back."
"The horses are back too, and we can move on!" So they set off again.
Shen Long whipped his horse and led the team to the north quickly along the rugged hilly path. They traveled all night and only had a short rest. After a day and night, when dawn came, they finally arrived at Stratholme.
