Chapter Sixteen - Punishment
…………
Arthas knew that he had pushed his men too hard, but time was too precious to waste. But when he saw Farric chewing dried meat as he walked, he deeply blamed himself. He
During the battle, the Holy Light gave him strength, but it was different for others. These soldiers had given all their strength in the previous battles and were exhausted. But they had no time to rest, and the lives of thousands of people were in crisis.
The order he received was to come here to investigate the plague and try to find ways to stop it. Now that the mystery has been solved, he also began to doubt his ability to stop the plague. Things were far from what he thought at the beginning.
It's that simple. Maybe he should listen to Nathanos and return to his father...
... He cursed in his heart how could he have such an idea. He must never give up! He had sworn at the Paladin promotion ceremony to save his people at all costs, and he would definitely fulfill his oath.
Before they even reached the gates of Andorhal, they saw smoke rising into the sky - they were under attack!
Alsace kicked his mount hard and quickly passed through the city gate, ready to fight at any time.
There were burning buildings all around, and the black smoke was very dazzling.
Sure enough, they met a large group of undead on the road. The appearance of Alsace and the soldiers behind him attracted the attention of these terrible monsters, and they all raised their heads and rushed over.
"Holy Light!" Arthas shouted, rushing into the group of undead, swinging his war hammer, and venting his anger on the people he had sworn to protect.
Far away from the battlefield, a man of medium height wearing a black cloak was watching the battle leisurely. He was muttering that Arthas had finally arrived.
Kel'Thuzad!
Arthas also noticed him, "There!" he shouted, feeling his blood boiling with righteous anger. That guy was the real monster, the source of all disasters. He rushed over. His arms were full of strength.
, the war hammer also emitted a dazzling white light. He was getting closer and closer to the psychic. What he had to do now was to completely eliminate this monster.
With a violent roar, Alsace swung his brilliant war hammer and slammed it parallel to the ground.
"No! Wait a minute!"
Who was it? Arthas felt as if time had stopped. Who said such words at this time? It was Nathanos! He thought of the owner of the voice! This only made him even more angry. What big reason did the other party want to use?
Stop yourself?
Arthas gritted his teeth. At this moment, in his world, time resumed, although time never stopped. Not only did he not stop, but he used all his strength! The hammer hit Kel'Thuzad in the chest. The necromancer flew away
Go out and pour all your anger on this source of disaster.
No matter what power Kel'Thuzad possesses, he is still a body of flesh and blood. Arthas left his internal organs torn apart, and red blood flowed from the corners of his mouth.
Not enough! The lost prince found that he was still alive and raised his warhammer again!
"Enough!" Nathanos suddenly appeared next to him and grabbed his hand the moment his warhammer fell. The two people used their strength in completely opposite directions, but the result was that Arthas could no longer hang in the air.
'Justice' was imposed on Kel'Thuzad - Nathanos' power was greater than his.
"That's enough!" The person who stopped him shouted again, "He can't survive anymore!" Nathanos gritted his teeth and said how terrifying the power of Arthas's blow was. He could see it even far away from here.
feel.
The prince could not calm down for a long time, and the power in his hands did not relax at all. He opened his eyes to their maximum size and looked at Kel'Thuzad who was curled up on the ground full of hatred.
"Ignorant... idiot," the psychic said with all his strength, breathing hard, "my death will not change anything... now... the purification of this land... has begun."
His eyes stopped trembling, his mouth was slightly open, and he was dead.
The corpse immediately began to decompose. In just a few seconds, the flesh and blood turned gray, swollen, and then burst. Others took a breath, covered their noses and stepped back. Alsace stared at the corpse, horrified and intoxicated.
He couldn't look away. Likewise, Nathanos's attention was also on his face. The prince's expression worried him, and what frightened him even more was that this might not be over yet.
Thick slurry immediately emerged from the corpse, and the skin turned into sticky substance. In the end, only a disgusting puddle of mud was left on the whole corpse. This decomposition process, which seriously violated the laws of nature, finally stopped.
Arthas could turn around and take a deep breath of fresh air.
Everything, everything is over! He told himself this, still unable to believe what just happened. Nathanos originally wanted to talk to him, but Maven broke into Alsace's sight at this time, and he looked
I was so panicked when I went up that I almost fell down when I came to the prince.
"Your Highness the Prince!" Maven shouted, "over there, over there, go look...it's gone! It's very bad."
The guard captain's incoherent words made Arthas' heart, which he had finally relaxed, rise to his throat again. What's going on over there? Are there enemies? Or are there people like Kel'Thuzad.
"What's going on over there, Maven?" Nathanos asked for him.
"Warehouse! Warehouse!"
Alsace's war hammer immediately slipped from his hand and fell to the ground as soon as his ears heard these two words. He barely waited for Maven to continue to explain before he pushed the opponent away and rushed towards him like crazy.
granary.
He hoped to see the grain piled up in the entire warehouse. But when he opened the door of one warehouse, only some scattered grain crumbs and rats picking up bargains were left on the floor. In a panic, he rushed to another warehouse.
storehouse……
"No! No!"
All the warehouses are empty.
"The grain has been sent away, sent away! Where did they send the food?" Arthas let out a heartbreaking cry, holding Nathanos tightly and asking.
"You...have tried your best." Nathanos looked at Arthas with a pale face. He could answer his question, but that would make Arthas go crazy.
"What I have tried, I have failed! Those tainted grains have been distributed, I am going to get them back! Tell me, Nathanos! I command you as a prince, tell me where those grains go
Where is it?"
Nathanos listened to his words, and the sound of his heart beating prevented him from answering. However, facing Alsace's eyes and orders, he unconsciously felt that his consciousness could no longer prevent his body from telling the answer.
"Andorhal has... a lot of grain! There are only... four places allocated..." He swallowed hard, and then named the four locations: "King City, Hearthglen, Dar
Long County, and... and Stratholme. The places... assigned during this time period are... Hearthglen and... and Stratholme!"
