World of Warcraft: Foreign Realm Domination - Chapter 322

Chapter 322

“Sire, we lost the undeads once they entered the Ankagen Mountains . . ” the man reported to Hayes .

Hayes nodded as he listened . Actually, he didn’t have much hope in finding the location of the undeads . The Kennedy family would be able to trace the undeads so it was no wonder that his troops couldn’t find them . Moreover, his mind was preoccupied with everything that he had seen during the day . His outlook on life had a great change . The apperance of the undeads meant that the chaos was coming . It was the chance that the Church was waiting for to unify the continent but now Uther was not on their side .

Hayes was confused . Who should he be loyal to? Pope or Uther?

“Paladin Hayes! You are the captain of Knights in the Church . What’s you take on this matter?” Zane asked as he came over to stop near Hayes .

Hayes replied in a solemn tone: “Marshal Zane… I must go back and report to Pope . Appearance of undeads in this matter is a sign to the return of scourge . You must be prepared for the upcoming war . ”

“What? Scourge? Do you mean the force that swept through the continent in ancient times?” Zane was surprised . He knew that they had lots of headache with just 5000 undeads . What would happen if hundreds of thousands of undead had come to attack them?

Hayes nodded: “Yes . I will reveal you parts of the prophecy that were held secret . In fact, the Church had already predicted of return of scourge . It would be the most severe test that we will face . Most likely this time the attack of the scourge may lead to the demise of the continent… Only . . The greatest kind will bring together all races and fight the scourge . If master Robert feels like he is the one then he should get ready to fight the scourge!”

“This…” Zane couldn’t utter a reply . Actually, he didn’t believe Hayes’s speech to the word but he was somewhat convinced . He had heard about many prophecies although he didn’t know about the details as they weren’t mentioned . If the prophecies were real then Kennedy family’s preparations were insufficient .

“Marshal Zane, I must rush back to the Church to report to Pope . ” Hayes waved his hand and left .

“Paladin Hayes… Are you just going to leave? What about the undeads?” Zane said in hurry .

The Paladins were the best warriors to deal with undeads . Actually, the light system used by the undeads was quite interesting as they could use both battle energy and magic . This light attribute was deadly for the undeads . The blessings of a paladin was could raise the morale of the troops even if Paladins weren’t personally acting in the battlefield . Zane knew that they would be facing more difficulties if Hayes was gone .

Hayes put on his helmet: “Marshal Zane, don’t worry… I’ll be back very soon . . The Church won’t ignore this matter but I must report it!”

In fact, Hayes had to come back in any way . The first reason being the undeads and the problem of Uther’s return as the second reason . Zane was reassured when he heard Hayes’s reply and he personally sent Hayes off .

…

…

Robert jumped off from his chair: “What! The scourge?”

“Yes! Paladin Hayes went back to report to Pope . . Things look very serious as I saw that Hayes wasn’t planning to scare us . . We must inform the family to prepare for things in the long run if something like that is going to happen . ” Zane was quite anxious about the problem of scourge . What if they united the continent? They had to fight the undead troops of the scourge in that case .

Robert was upset too because attacking Lion city had become much bigger problem .
…

…
Hayes didn’t stop to rest neither at night or day . He changed horses during ten days of ride as he went to the headquarters . The headquarters of the Church was located in the holy city of Yesa . The Sky Lion Dynasty wasn’t involved in running the Yesa or area close to it . Everything was run by the Church . In fact, this place was like an empire within an empire . Everyone regarded the Pope as the ruler in here .

At the moment, an old man wearing a golden robe and holding a wand made out of unknown material was sitting in the throne within the highest cathedral in the city . He was the ruler in here . He was the voice of the Light God on the continent . His words were the instructrions of the Light God . The people who dared to oppose his words would be severely punished .

“Praise the great Uther! Praise the Pope! Majesty, Paladin Hayes is back . ” A paladin entered the hall and reported .

“Oh?” A light flashed past through Pope’s eyes: “Let him in . ”

The paladin nodded and exited the hall .

Pope looked at the murals on the walls of the cathedral: “Why does I feel uneasy? Does it mean that the time has come?”
