The news soon reached Søren.
Because the plague spread very quickly, not only did it spread to the Frost Kingdom, but it also raged on the edge of the human gathering place and the Elven forest. This was definitely not a plague that appeared in nature, because it was impossible for a natural plague to spread to humans and plants at the same time. Moreover, the speed of the plague this time was so fast that it made people wonder if there was someone secretly manipulating it behind the scenes.
"Has the Lady of Poison also fallen to the mortal world?"
Søren looked at the information in his hand and murmured, "Other than the Lady of Poison, there shouldn't be anyone who can spread the plague so quickly."
The plague infected the crops.
From the edge of the Elven forest to the periphery of the Frost Kingdom, and then to the south of the Northern Tower, all of them were affected by this terrible plague. All the crops withered overnight. What was even more frightening was that if these infected crops were eaten by people, a new epidemic would soon break out. Many people who were not infected at first were infected because they ate infected animals and plants. The only thing to be thankful for was that although the plague this time was widespread, it did not cause too many casualties.
The main reason was that during the infection period, the infected people would at most have a fever, but they did not die immediately.
This gave time for all parties to react. This world had divine spells, and the priests could quickly treat the plague by relying on the 'Disease Removal' spell.
The only problem was that many people were infected again after being treated.
"It should be the work of the Goddess of Pestilence!"
Søren could not help but think of the God of the Hunt, Malar. When the gods first fell to the mortal world, they lost most of their power. Therefore, the God of the Hunt, Malar, caused great turmoil in the south. The hunters constantly used bloody sacrificial rituals to please the god and restore his lost divine power at the same time.
The Lady of Poison's behavior should be the same.
She spread the plague to make the mortals fearful, because the faith generated by the fear could also restore her lost divine power.
The plague was still under control.
It was estimated that the Lady of Poison did not dare to offend too many forces at the same time. Otherwise, many churches would unite to deal with her.
Arendelle, Imperial Palace.
At this moment, Princess Royal had regained her former majesty. In front of her was a group of Arendelle's court ministers. She glanced around and ordered in a deep voice, "Seal the passage to Icewind Valley immediately."
"Order the army to be stationed at Ice River City's Cold Wind Fortress. Before the plague crisis is resolved, no one is allowed to pass through."
"Mobilize the doctors and priests."
"Give the order to burn all the crops in the epidemic area. The Arendelle Royal Family will provide them with aid in the coming winter."
Orders were issued one after another.
Very soon, Arendelle's army was mobilized and directly cut off the passage to Icewind Valley. Currently, the plague was only wreaking havoc on the periphery. However, if it were to spread into the city, the disaster would be quite terrifying.
Søren was also very cautious about this.
He contacted the intelligence network on the south coast almost immediately and ordered everyone to be on their guard. They had to pay close attention to any possible followers of the Goddess of Pestilence.
Now, they could only hope that the Goddess of Pestilence knew when to stop. Otherwise, they would have to gang up on her.
…
Harvest City.
Almost as soon as the plague appeared in the northern region, the Church of Agriculture was also operating rapidly.
Speaking of the hatred between the Goddess of Pestilence and the Goddess of Agriculture, it all started from her mother, [Mother Earth]. This ancient deity had always hated the Goddess of Pestilence because she would spread terrible diseases in nature, destroying the beautiful natural environment until it was full of holes. After Mother Earth handed over her own priesthood to her daughter, who was now the Goddess of Agriculture, the Goddess of Agriculture also inherited the antagonistic relationship with the Goddess of Pestilence. The two churches had been in conflict for thousands of years, and it was basically a situation where they would fight whenever they met.
At this moment.
In a magnificent temple, a group of priests who believed in the Goddess of Agriculture had gathered together.
At a glance, almost all of the priests here were bishops, and there were also many who had the strength of Legendary. The Goddess of Agriculture's faith was very widespread. Her church had a rather large Druil Church.
"Here, here, and here."
A middle-aged Druil with a dignified face pointed at the map in front of him and said in a deep voice, "There are traces of the fallen of the Church of Pestilence's activities here. The Goddess has sent an oracle to immediately stop the spread of the plague and at the same time, attack the enemy's strength."
"I'm afraid that this year's harvest has been affected."
"I hope that each parish can store food. If there is a famine, the church must immediately provide relief to the victims."
…
Similar scenes were happening all over the place.
Basically, the churches that were affected by the plague, whether good or evil, were full of hostility toward the Goddess of Pestilence. Although she had recovered a lot of power with the help of the plague, it was likely that she had gained a lot of hatred this time.
Perhaps she didn't care at all.
Because all along, the Goddess of Pestilence had been feared, hated, and revered by people. Even the gods were a little afraid of her.
Because she had inherited a part of the power of the [God of Decay].
The first generation of the Goddess of Fortune died because of the [God of Decay], and then the current Twin of Destiny was born. From then on, the [God of Decay] began to fall to others, and finally, a part of it was inherited by the Goddess of Pestilence.
This goddess who was good at using poisons had a large number of assassins as followers, and she had never been at a disadvantage in the mortal world.
…
South of Autumnfall.
A strong smell of blood permeated the woods, and many corpses could be seen on the ground. The hunters were harvesting the enemy's lives.
"I believe that the Lord will be satisfied with the sacrifice we offer!"
A one-eyed gnoll showed a grim smile on the corner of his mouth, waving a dagger and cutting the throat of an elf captive in front of him. In front of them, there was also an injured black cheetah. This fierce beast was now seriously injured and was easily captured by the hunters.
Shadow Leopard.
A creature born with 25 points of Dexterity in adulthood, they were the favorite companions of the elven rangers.
"Maybe we should hunt a dragon."
A strong ogre came to the side of the one-eyed gnoll. Its eyes had a different light of wisdom from other gnolls. Suddenly, it swung the mace in its hand and roared angrily, "Damn werewolf!"
"That's the dinner I prepared!"
"Don't touch that elf! … I'm going to take it back for supper! … "
…
Chaos had begun to spread.
And the first to cause all this was the gods of the chaotic evil camp.
