In the forest, the running death horse slowly stopped. Looking around through the eyes that could see through the soul, the death knight had made sure that there were no pursuers behind him. After all, the living had also fought against the Scourge Legion. It is very clear that sending troops to chase the undead in the forest at night is a very stupid behavior. It will only send more troops to the Scourge.
Through the soul connection with the puppet, the death knight began to slowly gather the soldiers scattered in the forest. According to the will of the great Lich King, he and dozens of companions broke into the inland areas of the western countries of the continent. , began to attack human villages and convoys everywhere, preparing to establish an undead army behind the Holy City. This time, I thought I could destroy a caravan again and transform more ghouls and skeleton soldiers, but I didn't expect that. There were such powerful warriors in the seemingly lax caravan.
Eighty percent of the hundreds of ghouls that were finally expanded were eliminated, and two skeleton cavalry were also damaged. The most helpless thing is that the strength of these warriors is even higher than that of the death knight himself. That can The fighting style of a man whose hands turned into swords was truly unheard of, and the armor he wore could actually resist the power of death coils.
After the rune weapon in his hand was damaged, the death knight decisively chose to retreat. There was no need to fight to the death. It was the right choice to continue to maintain troops to harass and expand in the rear.
Looking at the remaining ghouls slowly gathering from the forest, the death knight raised his head and looked at the sky. It was already dusk and the sun began to slowly set. Soon the entire land would be shrouded in darkness. At that time, the dark earth would be It will become a paradise for the dead.
Vaguely, some broken images flashed through the death knight's mind. It seemed to be a scene of sitting with a woman and looking at the sky, telling her the story of the stars and watching her sit quietly in the night sky. Down until dawn arrives┉┉
madness!
In an instant, the soul fire in the eyes of the death knight burned fiercely. It was his own memory when he was alive, a sad and ridiculous memory. In this hypocritical world, only the will of the great Lich King is absolutely correct. , The weak memory of the living should not dominate his will. Because from the moment he woke up from death, he had already sworn to be loyal to His Majesty the Lich King.
"Let's go! His Majesty the Lich King has given new orders. Let's return to the necropolis now."
The death knight waved his hand and signaled to his careless puppets that the losses in this battle were serious, but the great Lich King had issued new orders. All death knights who have gone out need to return to the necropolis immediately, and then a new task will be assigned to everyone in the Knights of the Ebon Blade.
As soon as he turned around while driving the death horse, the death knight instinctively sensed the crisis and almost desperately lowered his head and jumped off the horse. In that instant, the death horse was cut off from the neck with a sword. The war horse that had lost its head strangely ignited a blazing flame from its wound, like a holy flame that purified everything, instantly burning the war horse that was filled with the aura of death and dark power.
Even though he was transformed into an undead, a flash of surprise flashed through the death knight's heart. If he had not avoided it just now, this blow would have cut him in half.
enemy!
The surrounding ghouls and several skeleton knights immediately formed a circular defense formation, guarding the commander-in-chief Death Knight in the center. However, there was no other sound in the silent forest except for the sound of burning flames and the sound of wind. .
I didn't see it at all just now. Who attacked me
The death knight holds tightly the two-handed sword inlaid with natural disaster runes in his hand. This sword was his favorite sword when he was alive. As a death knight, his spirit is connected to the undead puppets under his command. Everything they can see, hear, and feel can be fed back into their consciousness. However, when the mysterious enemy attacked just now, no one among the so many undead around them could catch the other party's figure.
This is an extremely powerful enemy, even stronger than the man in golden armor before.
"Rest in peace! Lost dead, the nightmare that troubled you is over┉┉"
The voice sounded from behind, followed by the golden sword blade piercing the armor from behind. After passing through the spine and internal organs, the death knight tremblingly lowered his head and looked at the sword blade emerging from his chest. This is how the same thing! ? Why did the opponent's attack come from behind? When exactly did it happen? No! These are not things that should be considered. What matters now is that I am going to die
Fire burst from the wound. It was like igniting fuel and it instantly spread throughout the Death Knight's body. His body was burning, his armor was burning, and even his soul seemed to be burning. After becoming the dead, the Death Knight once again felt a feeling that he had forgotten - pain! !
The pain that was ignited all over the body was an indescribable and extreme pain. However, in the pain, the death knight discovered that there was a stronger pain tormenting him than the physical pain, and that was the pain of the heart┉┉
correct! I remembered it myself. That girl, she was the whole of his life. He had never had the thought or intention of abandoning her. He had already made preparations to marry her, but... However, when His Excellency Ganelon, the Aquamarine Knight, went to Granada City While fighting against the undead, he died due to the undead's plot. After his resurrection, his distorted mind made him forget about her and the lover he once swore to cherish┉┉
“I’m sorry for┉┉, I can’t┉┉┉┉keep my promise┉┉”
Gradually, under the flames, the death knight finally turned into ashes, but the liberated soul finally found rest. At least the unforgettable memory of the last moment returned again.
The man holding the sword was a tall and straight young man with blond hair as bright as the sun and a handsome and majestic appearance. Although he looked young, his golden eyes revealed a sense of vicissitudes and perseverance. The look on his face that coexists with confusion makes him look like a saint who saves everything, but also like a sinner who longs to be saved!
Standing quietly and looking at the death knight that turned to ashes, the man finally put down the sword in his hand.
The death knight who was the commander was eliminated, and the surrounding undead that lost control instantly turned into violent beasts. The restrained instinct of hating the living was completely released. The aura of the living exuded by the man in front of them made the undead feel like they were seeing fresh meat. Like a wolf pack, even though the opponent had wiped out the powerful death knight in an instant, the undead without fear still pounced on it without hesitation.
One sword! The man just waved his sword, and the flames circled and burned the bodies of the undead like the incarnation of anger. Whether it was the corrupted flesh of the ghoul or the hardened skeleton of the skeleton cavalry, they melted quickly like cheese in front of the flames. The golden flame exuded a strange power, like the nemesis of the undead, and instantly all the undead were reduced to ashes.
When all the undead were wiped out, the flames were extinguished instantly. What is surprising is that the earth that was still burning just now remained intact after the flames disappeared. Not even a single weed was scorched. If it were not for the black ashes piled on the ground, It even makes people wonder if the swirling flames just now were just an illusion.
After finishing everything, the golden sword in the man's hand also turned into fire and disappeared. He pulled up his hood and covered his head. The man walked towards the city without saying a word.
The city of Qom is a border city in the Kingdom of Cordoba that is closely connected to neighboring Zegus. Although it is a border city, the city of Qom is not deserted. Instead, a large part of the trade between the two countries needs to pass through this city. Because of the city's transportation, there are many chambers of commerce of domestic merchants and merchants from other countries stationed here. In terms of population, it can be regarded as a large city with a population of nearly 100,000.
Outside the city hall, several saints were escorted out by guards. After being sent to the city, the female paladin Felin politely invited them to the city hall to take a rest. After being given the instructions to face the undead, After being rewarded for coming forward, Feilin also interrogated everyone about some things because she knew the 'details'.
During the interrogation by the paladin of the God of Fire, El Cid also told the truth about the situation at that time, but he always insisted on the identity of his group and his group as just ordinary travelers.
Although the knight named Kars had doubts, El Cid and others were eventually released. Although the other party's questions were targeted during the process, at least there was nothing out of the ordinary or impolite about this attitude. Erxide had nothing to say. After all, this was someone else's job, and besides, his group was indeed spies in some respects. After all, before setting off, Yalin had told everyone that finding the Children of the Star was their top priority, and during their free time on the road, they could also collect some information about the countries in the western part of the continent.
At the window on the fourth floor of the city hall, Feilin was silently watching El Cid and others retreating away. The purpose of inviting the five people to the city hall just now was actually to test the strength of the five people. There is a detection array under the floor of the room that receives them. This is a special array unique to the Holy City. It can detect what kind of power the people in the array contain. If they are cultists who worship devils, Cultists infected with the power of the abyss will become active instantly, and those who rely on illusions to disguise themselves cannot escape the detection of the magic circle.
After the five people were invited into the room by Feilin, the power in their bodies was tested by the magic circle without knowing it. The results of this test generally dispelled Feilin's suspicion. Although Feilin, as a paladin, wanted to tell the five people I'm sorry, but the western part of the mainland is in a special period now, and no loopholes can be left behind.
"Interesting test report. He is neither a cultist who worships demons nor a fanatical believer who worships the foolish god of the Holy See."
The male knight Karls on the side was still a little worried: "But maybe they are believers who worship other evil gods."
Picking up the report on the table and looking at it, Feilin finally shook her head in the negative and said to Karls: "Perseverance, integrity, kindness, justice, compassion, courage, dedication... I haven't seen so many positive emotions in a long time." Tell me, Karls, how many positive emotions and how many negative emotions did you get after being tested by the 'Holy Question' array?"
After hearing the long list of words symbolizing virtue, Karls lowered his head and could no longer say a word. (~^~)
