7. Hold

Hearing Dick's ambiguous words, Arthas was silent for a moment, but thinking of Uther and Alessandro's merciless scolding just now, Arthas felt that Dick's words were so heartwarming, at least Dick did not disobey his orders, and he did not take into account Stratholme's back door defense, thinking of this, he smiled and patted Dick's shoulder,

"Do it, Dick, and when I banish the plague, I will surely give you a bright future!

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Dick took Eregor and Dalyan, who looked puzzled, and a dozen other young paladins, stepped onto their horses and headed for the back door of Stratholme, which was still miles away, and before Dick left, he made a "rendezvous" gesture to Gianna, and the eldest lady nodded.

After Dick left, Gianna walked up to Arthas, and looked at the once proud lion-like prince, Gianna sighed,

"Arthas, fellow crown prince, I can understand what you are doing, but have you ever considered what kind of blow this matter will deal to your prestige after it gets out?"

"No, Gianna, I know what I'm doing. ”

Arthas wearily took off the war hammer behind his back, and a girl who was being hunted by the undead ran out of the alley frantically, she saw Arthas and the soldiers, and excitedly got rid of the undead, and threw herself at Arthas's feet, crying silently.

"Woo, Your Royal Highness Prince, everyone... Everybody's turned into monsters! Are you here to save us?"

Arthas sighed, he stretched out his left hand, the warm light beating in his palm, but when he came into contact with the girl, the originally peaceful light suddenly became distorted, which was a sign of being infected by the dark power, and His Royal Highness the Prince showed a bitter smile to the girl,

"Yes, I'm here to help you get free, I'm sorry I can't save you, I can only let you die without pain. ”

"You... What are you talking about? Your Royal Highness, don't... Ahh

Gianna trembled as she watched Arthas end the life of the girl who might have been infected by the plague, and she watched Arthas hold the body of the girl he had killed, kneeling on the ground and weeping bitterly, this strong contrast made Gianna shiver all over, and she suddenly remembered what Dick had said to herself.

"Alsace has gone mad... He walked into the enemy's trap, and he was driven crazy by himself!"

"Arthas, I'll rush back to Dalaran at once and ask my mentor to stop the spread of the plague, you... You have to take care!"

"Thank you, Gianna... Goodbye, I'm going to do what I had to do!"

Arthas rose from the ground, unfastened his cloak and put it over the girl's body, and then raised his hammer and shouted,

"Warriors of Lordaeron, this city has been conquered by the plague, and only by completely purifying it can you ensure the safety of your family, your friends, those who are willing to give everything for the country, come with me!"

Seeing Arthas lead a group of passionate soldiers into the city, Gianna closed her eyes in pain, and the smart lady had a premonition that at this moment, Arthas had embarked on a real road of no return.

But she remembered her agreement with Dick, so after one last glance at the girl in the sky-blue cloak, Gianna stepped onto her horse and hurried to the back door of Stratholme.

On the other side, when Dick and the others arrived at the back door, which was already crowded with refugees, the younger Dalyan finally couldn't help but say,

"Brother Dirk, do you really want to help the Prince of Arthas? These people, they are all innocent!"

"I know... Dalyan, so I need your help!"

Dick looked at the paladins behind him, all of them more or less dissatisfied with what he was doing. But they didn't know that when Arthas decided to slaughter the city, the back door of Stratholme would become the last escape route for the city that was about to be covered in blood.

"Listen to me, brothers, you may have just met me, but it doesn't matter, Uther and Alessandro have stormed the city, and our brothers are trying their best to save the innocent citizens, but they need a safe way to retreat, the city gate has been blocked by the Prince of Arthas, he will not allow those citizens to pass through the main gate, so here, this will be their last chance of survival!"

"I will use my method to construct a channel of holy light, and those who can cross this channel unharmed are innocents who have not been infected, and your task is to help me maintain it!"

Dick walked over to the frightened refugees, reached out and removed the fire of justice from behind him, and poured the holy energy in his body into the artifact, and when the shining warhammer touched the ground, a line of golden light appeared beside Dick.

Erigor immediately understood what Dick meant, drew his sword, and shouted to the frightened refugees,

"We are the paladins of the Knights of the Silver Hand, as long as you can cross that line, you can get out of here! anyone who tries to escape will be considered infected with the plague and will be executed immediately!"

As soon as this murderous voice appeared, the refugees immediately scrambled in front of Dick, one by one across the line, and then were arranged to stand aside by the paladins who had already moved.

"Dalyan, you take a few people and go to the city to find Uther and Alessandro, and tell them the news of the back door!"

"Erigor, I need you to follow me, block the back door, and purge the undead!"

"Other knights, you take turns maintaining the Light Barrier here, and everyone must walk through! Don't let the infected leave here! or we'll be sinners for all of Lordaeron!"

The other paladins understood Dick's thoughts, and these righteous people immediately blushed at their previous suspicions, and they immediately took action, and those refugees who had passed the barrier also spontaneously carried the weapons and shields distributed by the knights to help maintain order.

Everyone knows that only when they join hands can they save more innocent people.

"Drop... Trigger the mission, under the crisis!"

"You have disobeyed Arthas's orders, but this insistence is as it should be, and you must save no less than 1,000 innocent people before Arthas discovers your betrayal. ”

"Mission Progress: 43/1000"

Dick didn't have time to pay attention to the triggered mission, he was about to rush into the back door with the fire of justice, and Gianna's voice came at this time,

"Little villain, what are you going to do?"

Dick turned around, and saw Gianna, who had hurried over, holding his arm, and her eyes were full of pleading.

"Don't go! it's dangerous in the city right now!"

The expression of the eldest lady immediately moved the soft corner of Dick's heart, he sighed, and gently hugged the eldest lady into his arms, Gianna struggled for a while, but finally hugged Dick.

"Baby, do you remember what I told you earlier? They were abandoned by Arthas, and even if they survived, it is estimated that the people of other places would not accept them from Stratholme, so now you are the only one who can save them. ”

"Me?"

Gianna's expression was a little strange, and she stretched out her finger and pointed at her face,

"My father would not accept them either, and Kul Tiras is very strict about the entry of entrants, and even if I am the crown prince, I will not be able to bring so many people into Kul Tiras. ”

"No, remember the words of the prophet, go to Kalimdor, sail from the town of the South Seas, across the endless sea, in a maximum of 20 days, you will reach a land wrapped in swamps and jungles, the prophet has told me a lot, that it will be your future country, my darling, that you will be a regent, the queen of magic in Theramore!

"Theramore?... Queen?"

Gianna was already stunned, Dick smiled, he reached out and lifted the eldest lady's chin, and kissed it, and after a few minutes, the eldest lady, panting and flushed cheeks, looked at Dick, who carried the fire of justice on his shoulder.

"Don't be too nervous, my baby, it's not for you to do it now, go back to Dalaran, at most 3 months later, everything will be revealed, but you have to prepare in advance, I'm leaving, protect yourself!"

Dick carried the flame of justice and led Erigor and the others into the corridor of the back door of Stratholme, Gianna stood in place, she was stunned, but as a sane mage, she knew what she needed to do now, so after a few minutes, she remounted her horse and rushed in the direction of the Chapel of the Light's Wish.

"Come on, brothers, let's get rid of these evil monsters!"

Dick grasped the fire of justice that had been filled with holy light with both hands, took a step forward, and smashed the ghoul who rushed towards him with a hammer, and the silver hand in his left hand flung forward, and the holy light triggered by the holy hammer flashed, and with the bonus of the power of order, it turned into a lightsaber, piercing the body of another rickety undead, burning it to ashes.

Erigor, who was surging with holy light energy all over his body, followed closely behind, and behind him, ten equally heroic young paladins, twelve people formed a tight defensive line, advancing little by little, their goal was to clear the dense undead from the back door to King's Square and the festival path, and open a life passage for Uther and the others.

It was a difficult task, and they had to protect the refugees hiding in the house to get through the back door safely, but after Dalyan brought back the first paladins who saved people, the pressure on the crowd was much less.

Endless undead rushed to the positions built by the paladins from all directions, and Dick stood in front of the position, and the paladin template's 100% damage bonus to the disorderly creatures, as well as the continuous stacking, soon reached the 100-point strength threshold of the elite rank, making Dick the most dazzling one.

Whether it's a ghoul or an elite skeleton, no one can block a blow in front of the flame of justice that looks like a work of art, and the only thing that restricts Dick's play is the shackles of 15 points of Holy Energy, although in battle, the Holy Energy recovers quickly, but when they are exhausted, Dick can't help but fall into an embarrassing situation.

You can only rely on the power of order of the Silver Hand.

However, Dick soon noticed the chests placed on the streets of Stratholme, and remembering the setting in the game, Dick took advantage of the break to open several chests, most of which were empty, but in the last chest, Dick managed to find three bottles of holy water.

This is the holy water distributed to the citizens by the Alonthos Chapel in the old town of Stratholme, which is usually only used as a medicine for daily ailments, but now, these holy waters, which contain diluted holy light energy, have become a big killer in Dick's hands.

But before he could rejoice, Erigor on the other side sounded a serious alarm.

"Abomination! Abomination!

Dick turned around, and two massive, more than Andohar's abominations, poured from the King's Lane into the almost half-cleared battlefield, and in the distance behind them, a taller, more monstrous monster roared and walked towards it with an axe, smashing the wooden doors of King's Square and the Festival Path.

"High Abomination"

"Necro Construct Creature"

"Strength 90, Dexterity 20, Energy 300, Mana 0"

"Comment: Unlike the low-profile version of Andorhar, these monsters made by the Necromantic Master are the real war machines. ”

"Ramsden the Swallower"

"Rare Elite"

"Necro Construct Creature"

"Strength 150, Dexterity 30, Energy 380, Mana 0"

"Comment: The first abomination made by Kel'thugad's own hands, infused into his body by the power of the Lich King, although it is still far from the lord, but for mortals, it is undoubtedly the god of death with a roar of death. ”

"Oops!"

The demographic problem continues to ferment... I really can't explain this~ I really can't explain it, in short, such a thing doesn't affect reading, and when you see words like "millions", "hundreds of thousands", brothers can automatically replace them with adjectives like "a large group", "a big wave", and "dense". Well, this question is really not to be said, everyone has their own understanding~~ Happy reading, I hope you will continue to support this book~~Thank you~
