Chapter 142 Lead the snake out of the hole
Brad waved his hand, and the soldiers with the gas mask had dragged several dead nobles out of the hall. They knew very well that in this situation, even if the Curse Sect promised that they would not be able to survive.
The sins they committed were too serious. No one would object to saying that they were crimes against humanity. They only faced a dead end.
"Old Marshal, what should I do with them?" Rivendale came back to his senses and asked Brad for his opinion.
Brad thought about it before saying, "Please give them dream potions, and then behead them after the effect is effective."
"It's too cheap for them." The Baroness said gritting her teeth. She really didn't expect these people to do such a crazy thing for their own selfish desires. A thought would almost destroy the entire city. If the Scourge's plan was really successful, then there was no doubt that they would be human sinners.
"I don't find it strange that people make decisions when they are most desperate. This is human nature, and not to mention that we are responsible for such things." Brad said softly.
"I was too careless. I didn't expect it to develop like this. I am a sinner of humanity. Old Marshal, you should deal with me." Rivendale said with red eyes. He knew that if he listened to Brad imprisoning all these people, there would be no trouble. It was because of his soft heart that he gave these people a chance.
"No, it's my fault. I don't blame him for making a private decision without hiding it from the old marshal." The Baroness was also heartbroken and regretted in her heart.
Brad waved his hand and said, "Now is not the time to hold people accountable. The disaster of the Scourge is unprecedented. No one of us can guarantee that we will not make mistakes. I said, this is human nature. You are concerned about old feelings, and there is nothing wrong with this. What's wrong is that you believe in old feelings too much. Don't understand the dark side of human nature. I just hope you can learn from your mistakes. What's more, you have more important responsibilities, and Zumashar or the people of the city still need you."
The couple calmed down and knew Brad was right and no one was more familiar with the place than they did.
"After defeating the Scourge, I will definitely give these people who died in vain." Rivendale said seriously.
Brad looked at the man who looked painful because of guilt and felt a little touched. In his previous life, Ruiweidale sacrificed his life to protect his city. Although he later became a general of the Scourge.
But this cannot cover up his glory during his lifetime, because of the special nature of the Scourge, no one will be controlled by himself after death. The Lich King's spirit is too strong, with a powerful plague and his helmet.
It is so difficult to break free from his control. No matter who it is, even if this person is a paladin or priest who is extremely devout to the Holy Light, he has his own negative emotions in his heart, and the Lich King's ability is to infinitely amplify the negative emotions in people's hearts, thereby achieving the result of control.
Even the belief in the Holy Light will become distorted for some reason. For example, the Blood Crusaders, although they are trying to kill more undead, they have become extremely exclusive, and anyone except themselves becomes their enemies.
Brad patted Rie Dale on the shoulder and said seriously: "Now is not the time to think about this. If you really want to give them an explanation, then you can kill more undeads. Only this is the best explanation, not to do something stupid."
"What the old marshal taught me is." A trace of firmness flashed in Rivendale's eyes. Then he said, "Tell me about the specific situation. How many people have been infected?"
The Baroness shook her head and said, "I don't know the specific number. But we arrested fifteen traitors, and according to them, at least 100,000 people were infected and turned into gargoyles. The soldiers who had originally replaced the city wall to defend the city have all been sent out and are now fighting these ghouls, just because these people were their relatives and friends and their morale was not high."
Brad frowned slightly and asked, "Hundreds of thousands, so many, launched by the nobles, so are these ghouls concentrated in the administrative district?"
The Baroness shook her head and said, "Basically, there are all districts. When the city was built, it was to avoid aristocratic areas. Therefore, all urban areas and streets were mixed with nobles and civilians. But I didn't expect..."
Brad suddenly realized that he really did not expect Zumashar to be so advanced. The benefits of doing so were obvious, which would make the entire city full of cohesion and would not have any slums.
Because my brother had nobles in the city and streets, this caused the city construction to not tilt towards a certain area. Brad didn't expect so much, nor would he do so.
For example, although Jade Corps is equal to all races, each class is not distinguished by race. However, the privileged class still exists. In terms of the entire territory, although Jade Corps basically has no nobles, the class still exists. Officials are the first class and the ruling class.
The second is the soldiers. Strictly speaking, their status is not weaker than that of some officials. Their status and family members will enjoy various benefits and privileges. Finally, the civilians and merchants. Strictly speaking, the political rights enjoyed by merchants and civilians are equal.
But specifically, whoever pays more to the territory will enjoy more rights. Take Jade City for example. The entire Jade Territory hesitates for many years is actually similar in terms of development.
But being able to own a house in the Holy City is said to be the dream of everyone, but there are still a large number of houses in the Holy City.
The first group of residents who could live here were humans, who were the first to follow the Jade Leader to live and die. Later generations were either leaders of various cities and territories, as well as residents or soldiers who made outstanding contributions.
On the construction and development day of each year, in addition to holding a grand carnival celebration, several qualifications to live in the Holy City are also elected from all walks of life.
Among the soldiers, those who have special military achievements, civilians have outstanding contributions, those who have special achievements in each deputy profession, those who have outstanding political achievements, and those who have merchants who have introduced a large amount of funds or trade, each will choose three.
For the people in Jade Territory, Jade Guard may be out of reach, but there is hope for the quota in the Holy City area. When entering the Holy City area, the benefits are in all aspects. The territory will arrange the best work, and the elderly do not need to support themselves. The most important thing is that their children have lower conditions for entering schools in Holy City than in other areas.
Brad is not a saint, he never thinks of true equality. Equality of all races is also to gather territory. If it is high pressure rule, it would be better, and he would make a choice without hesitation.
In his opinion, only if you give your territory, you should enjoy better benefits. Only in this way can you stimulate everyone's enthusiasm and such a territory is energetic.
It is not bad to say that Zumashar is like this, but Zumashar's aristocratic class is also very powerful and will inevitably be dissatisfied with them. It is not necessarily a lucky thing for the common people to live with the nobles. In his opinion, this kind of equality is inappropriate in the human society of Azeroth.
But Brad didn't say anything. These are Zumashar's internal affairs. He has no say and will not make things boring. Although others listen to him now, he will make things boring if he points fingers at other people's governance policies.
"It seems that our plan needs to be adjusted in a new way." Brad said slowly.
"A new ghoul of 100,000 is not a problem. If the old marshal is willing to mobilize some jasper-leading air force, it will be solved faster. I am still quite prestige and can calm the residents' emotions..." The Baroness said quickly.
Brad waved his hand and said, "Of course I know this. You just noticed the new ghoul, but you have ignored another problem. As for the people of the Curse Sect, they have instigated this incident, will they not have any other actions?"
The Baroness looked ugly. She ignored these people because of the chaos in the city, but just as Brad said, would they not move?
"What is their purpose of lurking? It is to spread the plague and cause chaos. The current situation is that the army of trolls outside the city is approaching, and they have also successfully planned a chaos in the city. Now the city is suffering from internal and external troubles, and both the army and the conquest are in a hurry. If you are the leader of the Curse Sect lurking in Zumashar, or you are the leader of the Scourge Legion, what decision will you make?" Brad did not care about the faces of the wife and the others, but continued to ask the next question.
"What should I do now? I'll send someone to find them?" the Baroness said gritting her teeth.
Brad shook his head and said, "Look, how to find it? You have been invading natural disasters. You have also checked the city for so many days. But the plague still spread. I planned this matter last night. Obviously, they were hiding very deeply, and it was not easy to find them. We don't have the time to waste it on this."
"Old Marshal, don't keep it aside. What should you do?" They were all smart people, but in front of Brad, they found that their brains were obviously not enough.
"If it were me, I would definitely order the lurking people to start again, and make Zumashar even more chaotic, so that the troll legion can better invade the city." Brad stroked Xiaobai's cold scales and continued: "But this is not enough. We need to lead out the real leader of the Curse Sect. This person must have a very strong position in Zumashar, so we must make a plan to print this person and get rid of this person. Only in this way can we implement the real plan."
"How to print it?" Rui asked Dell.
"I originally wanted to keep this person to pass on fake information, but now it seems useless. You are like this..." (To be continued, please search Piaotianwen, the novel is better, updated and faster!
