1. Another world
"Bell!"
"Bell!"
Two crisp clashes of weapons rang out in the empty black crypt, followed by a combo like a storm, golden war hammers and black rune swords staggered, and the two figures each stopped behind each other. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info天籁novel.23txt.
Dick, whose whole body was glowing with golden light, lowered his head and saw the trail of holy light churning on the ground, he held the flame of justice that seemed to be burning under him, and moved his arm with difficulty, and there was an extra scar on his chest, a black one, like a scar that was constantly rolling by insects, and the blood could not flow out, so it was evaporated by the boiling power.
When the corrosive energy collides with the golden holy light, it makes a sizzling sound, which looks very weird.
Behind him was a black figure riding a tall horse, and after staggering past Dick, the black knight's skeletal horse under his crotch was burned to ashes with a wail, and the knight on the horse shook his body and stood firmly on the ground.
He was wrapped in a long black hood, holding a heavy sword shining with red-green runes in his left hand, and on his body under the hood, he was wearing hard armor, black, hideous and delicate, and black skeletons were painted on his wrists, shoulders and abdomen, as well as the surface of his combat boots.
The whole person looked like a destroyer who had come out of the darkness, and in the place where he was hit by the fire of justice, that is, in his heart, a depression appeared on the black armor, and the converging holy light stayed in the depression, constantly burning the dark body under the armor.
In this gloomy black crypt, every second, Dick had to suffer a ring of corrosive energy, although there was a much stronger holy light blocking his body, but the impact again and again still consumed a lot of his energy.
Especially after the battle was prolonged, the residual energy of this wave of impact converged and put a heavy burden on his body.
Dick turned his head and glanced at the black knight standing still, his eyes flashing with a hint of unwillingness, but the sword had already pierced his heart, and before it reached the legend, it was a fatal wound.
"Bang!"
Dick's body slammed to the ground, he convulsed in pain, and the badly injured Black Knight turned around and looked at Dick's armor and weapons, he seemed to be puzzled, how did this insect that could hurt himself appear in his city?
But at this time, Dick had no way to tell him these things anymore, and the black knight half-knelt on the ground, raised the rune sword in his hand high with both hands, aimed at Dick's body and stabbed it down.
But the moment it came into contact with Dick's body, Dick, who was lying on the ground, suddenly turned into a cloud of smoke and quickly disappeared beside him.
At the same time, the rune sword that had collided with the fire of justice many times also shattered the moment it touched the ground, and with the blessing of the black knight's huge power, these fragments flew around, and there was even a piece that flew straight towards his face.
"Poof!"
The sharp blade slashed across his face, cutting a large wound, but in that wound, there was not the slightest blood flowing out, and a cloud of black energy escaping from the wound wrapped around the black knight's face, and soon, the injured part of his face was replenished again.
The Black Knight didn't care about these things, he raised his head and felt the annihilated army of abomination outside, his indifferent face was still indifferent, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
At the moment when he looked up, an ice-blue face appeared in a faint light, emaciated, withered, and a pair of blood-red undead fire and black head.
Although it has been somewhat deformed, it can still be clearly distinguished, which... This is Rivendell!
On the other side, the pain in his chest was still there, and his heart seemed to be pierced for real, but Dick had already opened his eyes, and he sat up from the bed with a bone, and reached out in the darkness, and the moment his palm touched the handle of the Righteous Fire, the golden light suddenly illuminated the whole house.
Dick placed the lamppost-like hammer on the table, then sat down, poured himself a glass of water, and pulled out a black pipe, reminiscing about the battle as he became familiar with the spicy tobacco of this world.
Yes, that's not a dream!
It was a real duel! His duel with Rivendell had been fought 17 times, but each time, he had been defeated at the hands of the not-so-powerful Death Knight.
He took out the key from his bosom, which had become very fragile, and it gradually turned from pale blue to pale, as if it was rusty, and if he tried hard, the key would break. This is how he duel with Rivendell, the key to the "Stratholme Dungeon", the number of entries out of 2o times, only 3 remained, but he still couldn't clear it alone.
Dick knew that it was all Rivendell from other timelines, and he entered those timelines in a special projection way, and the places he entered were all the main entrances of Stratholme, and he could never get out of Stratholme's area, monsters would not drop equipment, and there was no so-called experience.
In short, this is a place for him to hone his combat skills.
Rivendell... Of all the well-known Death Knights, the guy who shoots at the very end may not even be a hero, but Dick still can't beat him.
He thought about it for a long time, and he didn't have a clue about the comprehension of the battle, looking at the already white sky outside the window, Dick simply put on his clothes, carried the fire of justice behind him, opened the door, and began to carry out the "morning exercise" every morning.
"Break through here today!"
Dick hummed a song, followed the alley of Stratholme, came to the deepest part of the city, chose a random direction, swept the fire of justice in his hand, and walked towards the elite undead who wandered around aimlessly.
Even if it is a dry bone that can be placed here by Rivendell, it is definitely an elite dry bone, and the ghouls are dangerous guys who have comprehended skills similar to "Plague Claws", not to mention, there are high-level abominations wandering here from time to time, and you never know which dark corner, a hideous banshee will suddenly jump out.
In short, few people came to this dark area, and even the three attacks organized by the two defense lines in the past two months were all superficial, and they were mostly used for military training.
Dick's plan at the Silver Hand Council was almost completely rejected, but unexpectedly, the growth of the paladins was retained, and the eggs of the recruits sent from the Hand of Tyr almost filled the positions that Dick was in charge of, and even Da Sohan, who was in the deeper defensive line, suffered from it.
But this is also something that can't be helped, the center of gravity of the entire Silver Hand Knights is now on the side of Andorhar, and if the 7o undead in that city are not wiped out for a day, Sidaromir, who is the granary of the empire, will not be able to resume operation for a day, and in the past two months, after the recruits have a little combat effectiveness, Uther has taken away all the old knights on both fronts.
You say you don't have enough troops? You want 1ooo people, I'll give you 2ooo people!
As a result, the first time he joined forces with Da Sohan's military district to exterminate the undead in the depths of Stratholme, a brigade of 2oo people was almost wiped out by Rivendell's assault team composed of 4 abominations and a squad of necromancers and two squads of elite skeleton warriors.
If it weren't for Dick and Da Sohan rushing into the battle formation at the last moment with the only remaining veterans, even the remnants of the 1oo-odd people would have been surrounded, divided, and eaten.
Now, these paladin recruits who have been training in the hands of Tyr can be regarded as knowing the horror of real war, but Dick's training for them has only just begun, and his training is also very simple. The 2ooo people are divided into 1oo squads, each squad is 2o people, one round a day, under the leadership of the veteran, go deep into the city, and can't bring back the heads of the 1o undead, and continue the next day.
A large-scale training every half a month, everyone goes out together to sweep away the undead wandering in the city, in this kind of high-intensity, real knife and gun training, the recruits grow very quickly, even Da Sohan, who did not agree with this method of fighting with his life at first, was also amazed by the growth of the recruits on Dick's side, and soon, similar actions began on the military district side.
But for Dick, these can only be regarded as small fights, he has almost no free time, every day is training, training, training, beating the undead, sleeping, and even when he sleeps, he will continue to hone his martial arts skills in another timeline.
In just two months, Dick completed 5 random tasks, his strength increased to 55 points, his agility also increased to 48 points, and his energy doubled to 8o points. The overall combat effectiveness has increased by almost one-third compared with the vicious battle against Ramsden, but he is still not satisfied.
There's only one reason why Dick is so desperate.
Alsace, coming back!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Far North, the mysterious Big 6 Northrend, the Dragonbone Wilderness North, the Forgotten Ice Cave.
This is a place where the soul of those who enter it can freeze, and Arthas stands not far from a stone platform with a golden warhammer "Vengeance of the Light", and in front of him, a long black and blue sword is hovering above the stone platform, and on the stone platform, there is also an inscription that can make people dizzy at a glance.
A dwarf with a battle axe and a war hammer pinned to his waist was lying on the stone platform, and in his hand was a heavy book, and the dwarf's thick fingers ran the inscription little by little, and said the translated meaning word by word.
"The one who holds this sword has eternal divine power! This sword is bloody, and this sword is soul-devouring to show its power!"
After reading it, the dwarf himself was probably taken aback by this line of murderous and evil inscriptions, and he took a step back and looked at Arthas hesitantly,
"Arthas, it's a magic sword! It's certainly not what you're looking for! Let's get out of here, I'm kind... There was a sense of foreboding!"
The dwarf with a beautiful orange beard spoke to Arthas, whose name was Muradin, Muradin Copperbeard, the younger brother of the current Dwarven King Magni Copperbeard of Ironforge and the honorary director of the Ironforge Explorers Guild, whom Arthas met when he ascended 6.
At that time, the dwarven camp was being attacked by a group of undead, Arthas did not hesitate to lead the soldiers to kill the group of spider-like undead, in order to repay Arthas's kindness, after Muradin asked the reason, he immediately said that he would help Arthas find the legendary sword that can control the undead.
Due to Dick's intervention, history changed here, Arthas explained to his father, King Terenus why he went to the Northlands, although the old king was reluctant, but he did not force Alsace to retreat as in the original history, and naturally there would be no evil ** thing of burning ships and killing people.
After asking Farrick and Marvien to take care of the camp, the two powerful guys set out on a journey to find Excalibur.
Muradin and Arthas are actually acquaintances, when Arthas was a child, Muradin briefly served as his swordsmanship instructor, Muradin knew that Arthas had been a person with a sense of justice since he was a child, but it was not until the two of them broke through the barrier of the blizzard and entered this gloomy ice cave that Muradin realized that something was wrong.
"Arthas, Arthas, are you listening to me!"
"Uh... Go, Muradin, go back to your people, don't stay here, this sword... This sword is my destiny, I see it!"
"You're crazy! My friend, come with me!"
"No... I can't go... I will save my people, if only I tame this sword... Yes, I can tame it! I can..."
"Ah!!h
