Chapter 1543: 1543
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
Tyr’s Hand was now a wasteland, despite being quite a busy town before . Even so, the old knights of the town had managed to suppress the Undead to an extent .
Now, there was a war about to begin . Kel’Thuzad had deployed Heigan Lavender to Tyr’s Hand to clean out the area .
The cleaning, in this context, naturally meant to completely turn Tyr’s Hand into a fruit of the plague .
Heigan Lavender was once a Mage in the Dalaran . His interests were unusual, compared to the other Mages . While the other Mages would usually be obsessed with their Arcane Power and Elemental Summoning, he was instead interested in poison, micro-organisms and genetic modifications .
Dalaran was frustrated at his unethical practices . If it wasn’t for his immense talent in Dark Magic, he would have been expelled from the organisation much earlier .
Of course, Heigan knew that the organisation wasn’t happy with him . However, Arcane Power was worthless in his eyes .
Arcane Magic was powerful, but once a Mage used up all of his Magic, what else could he do? Poison was different . It could be used anytime and anywhere . Only a senseless organisation would ignore a strength like this .
Although the organisation didn’t have an excuse to limit Heigan’s research, they still secretly placed obstacles in his way .
Heigan had run out of patience and left Dalaran for Andorhal, which had already been infected by the plague . This plague immediately intrigued the ever-curious Heigan .
When Heigan was researching a cure for the plague, Kel’Thuzad found him . As they were former colleagues, Heigan only greeted him out of politeness . This was because he knew that the cause of this plague was from this dark robed man standing in front of him .
After hearing Heigan’s cold tone when speaking to him, Kel’Thuzad was not angered . He opened a portal, then invited him to enter .
After hesitating for a while, Heigan decided to enter the portal . A perfect and spacious laboratory now stood in front of him . There were countless other people, wearing dark robes, working in the laboratory while strange creatures walked around in a nursery room next door .
“This is your future laboratory . Are you satisfied? No one is here to disturb your research . No one is here to limit your potential . No one is here to take you for granted!
“It’s quite nice . What do you want in exchange?”
“Join us . This plague is not something that you can stop alone . You would only become its final sacrifice . Why don’t you join me and create a new plague? After all, aren’t poisons your favourite? You could even take down the Dalaran organisation that neglected you . ”
“It’s quite tempting . Can you let me think about it?”
“Of course, my friend . You have a day to think,” Kel’Thuzad said, then gave a strange smile and continued, “The future is already beyond your control . ”
The last few words were so soft that they were not heard by anyone . On the same day, Heigan Lavender died in his home in Anderhol . The plague had consumed his old life, then gave him a new life .
Heigan was hard at work in his new laboratory and countless new plagues were synthesised in his hands .
The casualties did not only include humans . Even the plants and animals of the lands were decimated by the plague . All of this was the result of Heigan’s work . The lands surrounding the kingdom of Lordaeron were already known as the ‘Plaguelands’ . Therefore, his appearance in Tyr’s Hand was not surprising at all .
After seeing the familiar plague cauldrons, Lu Li knew that the Scourge had sent out Heigan Lavender .
Although he didn’t go through the proper ritual to turn into a Lich, Heigan was still a formidable foe . Truthfully speaking, he was even more annoying to deal with than most of the other Lichs . His poisons and toxins were greatly respected and also greatly horrified Lu Li . After all, Lu Li was also a poison researcher .
“May the Holy Light be with us…” the Paladins prayed .
Under the leadership of Tirion Fordring, they would soon spearhead the charge into the town while the others would follow .
The Scourge didn’t guard the place very tightly . However, since they were all Undead, they did not feel hunger or tiredness and would wander the streets of the town during the day and night . This was why Lu Li and Fordring gave up on the idea of sneaking into the town to rescue the survivors .
While on their armor-plated horses, the Paladins raised their weapons, then charged silently .
However, the Undead that came flooding out of the town were even more quiet .
Holy Light appeared on the Knights’ weapons and glowed brighter and brighter . This Light shone brightly on the surrounding areas and illuminated the whole town . It also seemed to deal great amounts of damage to the Undead as dark smoke began emitting from their bodies . There were some that had disintegrated into dust before even reaching the Paladins .
A large ‘Stitches’ appeared in front of the Knights . He threw out the hook and chain in his hands and immediately latched onto one of them .
Stitches were also known as Abominations, which were powerful infantry for the Scourge . This type of monster was created through Dark Magic and was sewn together with many different body parts . They also had magic resistance, along with increased armor and strength . Furthermore, they weren’t slow like the Stitched Giants .
The Dark Wizards also embedded maggots into these monsters’ bodies . During intense battles, the Abominations could spit out these lethal maggots at their enemies and release the infectious plague from their bodies .
Furthermore, when they were nearing death, they would also be able to self-destruct, spreading disease around them .
The Abominations that Lu Li was now seeing had been upgraded in the newest update . They could use the hook in their hands to pull their target towards them .
The Paladin who was hooked was already quite old . His hair was already white and he had many wrinkles on his forehead .
He didn’t panic and sounded out a chant, after which his whole body was immersed in a golden light . The hook was immediately rendered useless . Before the monster could return its hook, two Paladins suddenly rushed towards it as fast as lightning .
Their weapons struck the body of the Abomination and it immediately exploded .
Rotting flesh and maggots sprayed into the air, but none of it landed on the Paladins . Their bodies were all immersed in the Holy Light, so when the debris struck, it immediately disintegrated . Not even a speck of dust was left .
This was the Silver Hand!
Lu Li was deeply impressed and relieved . Paladin players weren’t even able to fight on a horse, let alone kill an Abomination .
However, the performance of the NPC Paladins greatly motivated the rest of the players .
They saw the glorious future of this class . Furthermore, these people believed that Paladins were a heroic class from the very beginning .
Now, they were behind these NPC Knights, riding their horses and charging with them . Although they were unable to join the fray, they had at the very least made the few Silver Hand Paladins look much more impressive as a whole . It looked like there were thousands of Paladins charging at once .
