Chapter 259 Skeleton Using Holy Light

In the High Elf Kingdom, after teaching Kael'thas a lesson, Richard let him handle government affairs and focus on his training. At the same time, he told him to discuss diplomatic affairs with Sylvanas in the future.

Kael'thas's political score is not even up to par, so let him learn more, watch more and talk less. His current political score is comparable to that of the idiot who announced the massacre of the city.

There were hundreds of thousands of people in Stratholme, and they just massacred the city without considering any political impact.

After finishing his work, Richard took out the soul crystal that he had not used last time and prepared to make two arcane guards.

Due to material issues, the challenge level of these two Arcane Guardians is not as high as those in his floating tower, but Richard estimates that they are around level 27.

Even Kael'thas and Sylvanas are no match for this level of construct golem.

It was not difficult for Richard to make the Legendary Construct Golem. It took him four days to complete the two golems. Because they did not use precious metals such as Uru and Vibranium, the challenge level of the two Arcane Guardians was 27.

One of these two Arcane Guardians is placed in the Sunwell Tower, and the other is placed in Silvermoon City. The Arcane Guardian in the Sunwell Tower will basically not leave, and the one in Silvermoon City will be deployed as a supporting firepower.

Old Peter had just wiped out the undead in a small town, and found a large amount of food in the warehouse of the town’s farm. After being tested by magic by the high elves, the food was confirmed to be uncontaminated and edible.

After hearing the news, the whole team cheered loudly.

Everyone worked quickly to load the grain onto the carts. It took more than twenty carts on the farm to transport all the grain away.

After finding a large amount of food, the team began to return. The dragon hawk knights in the sky were responsible for reconnaissance. If they found a small group of undead, they would directly destroy them. If they found a large group of undead, they would hide or take a detour.

The convoy advanced safely, but at this moment, the Dragon Eagle Knight suddenly sent a signal, and the high elf who had been in charge of communication immediately shouted: "Something's going on, immediately form a military formation for defense!"

After hearing the order, the convoy stopped immediately. Five hundred soldiers quickly formed a military formation and were ready for battle. The refugees they had gathered were surrounded in the center of the formation.

At this moment, the Dragonhawk Knight dropped a wooden barrel. The leading high elf opened the barrel and said to Old John, "The Dragonhawk Knight discovered that there is a group of Lordaeron Paladins ahead. They are coming here and seem to be searching for supplies to rescue refugees. Do you want to contact them?"

"Sir, we do not recognize those paladins, and we are no longer people of Lordaeron. Let's just leave," Old Peter said after a silence.

Ever since they learned that the Scourge was led by Lordaeron's Prince Arthas, they were completely disappointed with Lordaeron. They no longer considered themselves Lordaeronians.

"Okay." The high elf didn't say anything and directly ordered the convoy to set off again.

But just after the convoy had gone for a while, the team of paladins caught up with them and greeted them enthusiastically.

"We are from the Knights of the Silver Hand, and we are gathering refugees and soldiers here. Which legion in Lordaeron are you from?" asked the paladin who caught up.

Old Peter frowned and looked at the Paladin and said, "We are not the army of Lordaeron. We are just a group of refugees forming a search team."

"Refugee search team? Why are there high elves here?" The Paladin came forward and saw a team of high elves nearby. He was very surprised. He knew how arrogant the high elves were.

"It was the high elves who took us in and helped us set up the camp," said Old Peter.

"Would the high elves be so kind?" the Paladin whispered, then he thought of something and asked hurriedly, "Are there many people in your camp?"

"Yes, respected Paladin, if there is nothing else we will go back. We still have many people waiting for food." Old Peter didn't want to get entangled with them and said directly.

"Commander, Lordaeron is in crisis now. We hope you can join us in clearing out those undead and saving this country." At this moment, a middle-aged paladin rushed over.

"I am Dathrohan of the Silver Hand. Now that we have established the Knights of the Crusade, we need you to join us in fighting the Scourge."

"I have seen these new recruits you have trained, and I have to say that they are all very good soldiers. If you are willing to fight alongside us to wipe out the undead and retake Lordaeron, I can appoint you as colonel and let you lead a thousand-man regiment." Dathrohan said directly.

"I'm sorry, Lord Dathrohan, thank you very much for your appreciation, but we are no longer Lordaeron. Lordaeron has been destroyed, and there are many refugees in our camp waiting for us to bring back food. We must go back as soon as possible." Lao Peter recognized the paladin and refused directly.

"As the people and soldiers of Lordaeron, why are you unwilling to join us in reclaiming Lordaeron?" Dathrohan said with a frown.

Before Old Peter could speak, an old soldier in the crowd suddenly said, "I participated in the Second War of the Orcs and fought for Lordaeron. But how did Lordaeron repay us?"

"He destroyed our home, killed our loved ones, and even desecrated their bodies. Now you're asking me to risk my life to recover Lordaeron?"

"What's the point of restoring him? Let him continue to kill our relatives and friends?"

"No, soldier, these are all conspiracies of those demons. Things are not as you see! Arthas fell into the trap of the demons and did such a thing. The culprits are the demons hiding behind them!" Dathrohan said hurriedly.

"Really? I remember that he was accompanied by the Knights of the Silver Hand and Archmage Jaina. If you had resolutely stopped him, would what happened later have happened?"

"What did you do? Oppose strongly, then just walk away and let Arthas handle it himself? Then how did he handle it? He ordered the massacre of the entire city! This is the prince of Lordaeron?"

"Well, you can also use the military order to evade us common people. You can say whatever you want, but we will never fight for a kingdom that massacred our relatives! Lordaeron is no longer a kingdom for people like us."

After saying this, the soldiers did not stop and pushed the carriage back to the camp, leaving Dasohan and the paladins standing there in a daze.

Yongge Forest Refugee Camp, with more and more people coming here, some Holy Light priests also appeared here, the whole camp has been on the right track, because it is a unified plan, the whole camp is neat and tidy like a chessboard. And around the camp, a lot of farmland has been reclaimed, and many farmers in the farmland are seizing the time to replant food.

Even if the Undead Scourge is destroyed, these people will not be able to go back for a while. Stratholme and Andorhal were both destroyed by the Undead, and the land there was also polluted by Undead energy. If they want to grow crops, they must first purify the Undead energy.

Purifying the land is not an easy task, so don’t even think about it in a short period of time.

The Holy Light Priests among humans have tried to use Holy Light to purify the land, but although Holy Light can purify the land, the effect is not good.

The power of the Undead Scourge is spreading rampantly. Now, even people who have long been dead have begun to crawl out of their graves. This has caused a serious problem. The number of undead in Lordaeron is more than before the outbreak.

However, these skeletons and zombies born from the undead are different from the undead transformed by magic. The undead transformed by magic are usually controlled by the transformer, while these skeletons and zombies infected by the undead energy are not controlled.

These skeletons and zombies basically have no intelligence, and most of the time they subconsciously follow the undead army or wander around aimlessly.

Alonsus Faol, who had been dead for a long time, was resurrected by the infection of these undead energies. As the former Archbishop of Holy Light, he quickly regained consciousness after becoming an undead.

Seeing the kingdom of Lordaeron turned into this state, he felt extremely heartbroken. But the faith in his heart was ignited again. When he prayed to the Holy Light for the first time as an undead, the Holy Light responded to him again.

Powerful holy light gushed out from his thin frame. At this moment, he was as dazzling as a golden sun.

Under the illumination of the golden holy light, the surrounding undead immediately screamed and wailed on the ground, but soon, these undead were burned to ashes by the flames of the holy light.

After using the Holy Light to purify the surrounding undead, Fao finally realized that he had once again received a response from the Holy Light. Fao was so excited that he began to use the Holy Light to rescue the refugees. In order to prevent his skeleton image from scaring the refugees, Fao deliberately wore a large priest robe and a mask.

Kalia carefully hid in a remote farm. In order to avoid the undead, she hid herself in a water tank filled with water, and she used a straw to breathe.

On the day of the disaster, she was taken out of the palace by several loyal guards and came here. The guards who protected her were also killed by the undead in order to protect her.

Finally, she had nowhere to go and could only hide in this farm. But today, when she went out to look for food, she suddenly saw a golden holy light light up, purifying all the undead near the farm.

The moment she saw the holy light, hope rose in Kalia's heart again. She hurried over to ask him for help, but when she saw that the person using the holy light was actually an undead skeleton, she was completely stunned.

Kalia eventually followed the skeleton, Archbishop Faol, and left the remote farm. After rescuing some refugees, they began to head to the Eversong Forest of the High Elves. After all, their power was too weak to guarantee the safety and food of the refugees.

"You said you found an undead that uses Holy Light?" Sylvanas was stunned when she heard Lor'themar's voice. Undead can also use the power of Holy Light? Aren't these two powers opposite? What's going on? This is not magic at all!

"Yes, General, I saw with my own eyes that he used the Holy Light to rescue those human refugees." Lor'themar is still shocked by what he saw not long ago.

"You watch over them first, I will go ask the founding father for advice." Sylvanas said, and then hurried to ask Richard for advice.

"Sir, Lor'themar has discovered an undead who can use the power of the Holy Light." Sylvanas said hurriedly.

Richard was slightly stunned when he heard this, but he quickly thought of something and continued, "The power of Holy Light is not in conflict with death and the undead."

"Not contradictory?" Sylvanas was a little surprised.

Richard smiled slightly. When this situation first started, almost no one understood it, but after studying the power of holy light, they understood it.

"Although Holy Light can heal, restore, and revive companions, and it looks like life force, it is not actually life force." Compared to these races in Azeroth, Richard knows the power of Holy Light better.

In the world of Motera, even priests or other races who believe in darkness can use dark power to heal, recover, or even resurrect.

This kind of power is very common in Motera, because these powers belong to the category of divine arts. And what is the source of the power of holy light? It is the power of the mind and faith. This is the power from their hearts.

The nature of this power is very close to divine magic in Richard's opinion, and this power is also idealistic. Compared with technology, magic is idealistic, but compared with holy light, holy light is idealistic.

"Necromancer is a variant of the power of death. The real power that corresponds to it is life. Holy Light is a kind of idealistic power. This power cannot represent good or evil. In fact, many people who have done a lot of evil things can still use Holy Light."

"Because in their hearts, they feel that what they do is justice, right, true, good and beautiful. In other words, as long as he believes from the bottom of his heart that he is doing the right thing, then he can use the Holy Light, even if this person is unforgivable and has committed heinous crimes."

After hearing Richard's explanation, Sylvanas finally understood the essence of the power of Holy Light.

"The power of Holy Light is very idealistic. Its true counterpart is Shadow. Of course, in reality, Holy Light and Shadow are one and the same."

"Sir, I understand. According to your theory, can we high elves also master the holy light?" Sylvanas asked.

"Naturally."

"By the way, where is the skeleton that can use holy light?" Richard asked.

"Lor'themar found it, in the refugee camp in Eversong Woods."

"I'll go over and take a look. You guys go ahead and do your work." After saying that, Richard opened the portal and headed there.
