He knew the sewers like the back of his hand

Honestly, Lin Yun figured the Nurgle Followers were mainly troublesome because of their poisons and diseases. Then there was their classic, tenacious vitality.

No—from a purely noncombat perspective, Nurgle's followers had the strongest vitality of all.

Why were there so many Nurgle Followers in sewers like these, even Plague Hounds?

Why did so many of those Nurgle Followers look like beggars?

It was simple. The most common and classic Nurgle Followers were homeless people who couldn't even count on having their next meal.

For example, bacteria in the air, or... waste in the sewers.

And that was what made Nurgle Followers truly terrifying.

Anyway, Nurgle really was good at keeping people alive.

Here's a joke: Nurgle had saved
