Although Aaron will subconsciously take out the Truthguard shield every time he prepares for a battle, but when this shield is in Aaron's hands, it is rarely used as a shield. For those powerful enemies, he prefers to smash it with a hammer to determine the outcome, so in most cases, this shield is still used by Aaron as an indicator to find enemies.
After such a long time, Aaron has a deeper understanding of Truthguard.
Aaron saw a flash of light coming from the shield this time, and immediately realized that the situation here was abnormal. He could now judge whether there was any Undead demon or the like based on the light of the shield.
Although the Baron Rivendare who is fighting Arthas is a Death Knight, the reaction of Truthguard's shield is not the same. Aaron looked around, except for those Paladin, the ones with problems must be the nobles.
"You're careless," Aaron thought to himself as he chased. He should have seen Truthguard's reaction before, but he only realized this problem now. Fortunately, the guy didn't find an opportunity to make trouble, otherwise Aaron might have suffered a big loss this time.
"I'm talking about you, don't stop." Aaron took a few steps to confirm which noble was in disguise, and immediately hit the guy with a hammer, directly stopping the guy's movements.
"Hey, we've been discovered," the nobleman froze, then turned into several bats and scattered in all directions. A sinister voice seemed to come from all directions, "You still care about me? Look around you!"
When Aaron saw this, he wanted to catch up. He didn't run out for a few steps, but stopped abruptly. Looking at the scene in front of him, Aaron felt that his head started to hurt. "What is this? Isn't it?"
I saw a few swaying people walking in through the door of this banquet hall. Judging from their clothing, these people should be residents of Stratholme, but their movements were very stiff, and they were not ordinary people at first glance.
Looking at the faces of these people, some were pale, some had a bluish tint, and few were normal. Their eyes were very dull, and drool kept dripping from their mouths.
When Aaron saw this scene, he thought that he was very familiar with it. He had just experienced it once in the Barov Family castle not long ago. Those people must have been affected by the contaminated food.
The problem is that according to Aaron's estimate, it took at most three days for the grain transport team Illucia and the others to return to Stratholme. During this period, the grain should not have been distributed to citizens' homes. Why is there a problem now?
Unless those people had already started eating these contaminated grains, considering what the two mages said, this is not impossible. They came to Stratholme half a year ago. In the past six months, with the help of Baron Rivendare, the supreme ruler of the local area, it would be too easy to corrupt the city.
Anyway, more and more zombified residents have been walking in step by step. After noticing the appearance of these residents, Baron Rivendare, who was originally at a disadvantage in the battle with Arthas, his eyes lit up and he parried Arthas took two steps back from the attack and threw a spell on a certain resident's head. He saw that the scars burned by Holy Light on Rivendare's body showed a tendency to heal, but the resident's body shriveled up and fell to the ground.
At the same time, these zombies also surrounded the Paladins. Although these guys had no rules, the soldiers in black seemed to be able to command them. They used these residents as cannon fodder to resist the attacks of the Paladins, and in the blink of an eye, the situation of the battle was reversed.
Aaron noticed that these zombies did not come from Stratholme city, but ran from other places in the city lord's mansion. It seemed that these guys had been hidden here before.
"They are indeed prepared," Aaron already sensed a conspiracy when he saw Dreadlord transforming into a bat. There must be no good things happening wherever these big bats appear. Maybe their visit to Stratholme this time was expected by these cunning guys.
Aaron wanted to turn around and help those Paladin, but found that some zombies did not come to join the encirclement, but went straight to the gate of the city lord's palace. If these guys were allowed to enter the streets of Stratholme, residents who did not know the situation could avoid these guys, but it was certain that the appearance of these guys would inevitably cause abnormal commotion.
If the residents of Stratholme have been affected and they can escape, it's hard to say how big of a problem it will cause. Aaron must prepare for the worst case scenario.
After looking at the door of the city lord's mansion, Aaron quickly ran to the door. He wanted to close the door, but found that the door had been destroyed at some point. Then he saw that the zombies were almost reaching the door. He looked at the shield in his hand, thinking about it, and immediately controlled the shield to become larger, blocking the door tightly.
The only problem is that Aaron must hold the shield with his hands, otherwise the shield will return to its original size, so Aaron has to hold the shield with one hand and the war hammer in the other to face the enemy, which feels indescribably awkward.
However, these slow-moving zombies did not pose any threat to Aaron. He only needed to ensure that these guys would not break through the obstruction. On the other side, the center of the battlefield on the other side of Arthas and Paladin stabilized. Aaron's big movements attracted the attention of many zombies, which can be regarded as reducing the pressure of the battle there.
After Aaron had eliminated all the zombies that had gathered around him, the battle between Arthas and Baron Rivendare finally came to a close. In the end, Arthas was the superior one and knocked down Death Knight, who qualified to be ranked Four Horsemen.
After these two men had their hands free, the remaining black-clad soldiers who had a tendency to transform into Death Knight were treated as Execute one by one. This riot that started as a conspiracy was finally over.
However, Arthas looked at the residents on the ground, and looked through the gate of the City Lord's Mansion to the residential area outside, with a gloomy expression on his face.
"What do you want to do?" Aaron looked at Arthas's eyes and felt bad. Could this guy have the idea of massacring the city again? Is it too late to knock him out now?
Arthas didn't know the dangerous thoughts in Aaron's mind. He just stared at the messy battlefield in silence, not knowing what he was thinking.
"What happened here?" At this moment, a group of soldiers wearing armor with the Stratholme emblem rushed in. They seemed to be attracted by the movement here. "Your Highness, Lord Baron, what happened to them?"
