Sitting on the meadow and enjoying the scenery at sunset, a certain paladin named Wang Tianyu couldn't help but feel a little bored.

It's not because there's no war, in fact, if he has the chance, he wishes this war wouldn't break out.

He turned his head and looked at the sad girl sitting silently beside him, and couldn't help but look bitter.

That's what makes him bored.

Wang Tianyu is affectionately called a "veteran" by his companions, but he is not old, until April this year, he just turned 20 years old, he can even be said to be very young, but he has been in the army for a long time, so the seniority is really a little longer.

In fact, as early as four years ago, in the first month of his expedition with the Holy Cult, he participated in the Battle of the Plains of San Pello, a battle between the Holy Cult Army and the Chaos Brigade, which shocked the four principalities, and then participated in the Legion Battle against the Undead in the Remnant Mountains in the third month of his service, and the Demon Battle in the Buster Mountains in the sixth month.

He had stepped on the entrails of the ground, charging on a battlefield full of stumps.

However, each time, he managed to survive the bloody battlefield.

The sharp knife had slashed at his body, he had watched the sharp spear pierce the lobes of his comrades, the internal organs of his comrades who had been cut off by the waist were sprinkled on his face, and he watched the horses galloping out of control crush the skulls of unknown people beside him.

He had watched as the people who had eaten with him by the iron pot last night were rotted into puddles of pus by the plague, and he had watched his companions being mutilated, incinerated, torn out of their bodies by necromancers and devoured, and bodies that should have died turned into pathetic living corpses, forever beneath the pathetic killing machines, from which there was no liberation.

Every day, I see the life around me fall, and the sentimentality is gradually worn out.

I don't know what to say, and there doesn't seem to be anything to say.

In the past four years, he has existed in most of the cruel battlefields where the situation is not optimistic.

The rough-skinned zombies, the undead knights who are skilled in martial arts, the banshees and ghosts who are good at weakness and curses without fear of physical damage, and the cultists who wield the power of the Chaos God have all been his opponents and have all been killed by his hammer.

Even that time, when a transcendent Great Demon Protector led fourteen Eternal Shadow Spirits to charge at the Demon Count, he was also on the battlefield - although his opponent was the Flame Demon who "did not enter the stream" in that battle, the powerful power that belonged to the Demon Count and the Paladin still swept towards him, and the terrifying aftermath of the battle almost swallowed him.

But he returned to the Church of Light unharmed.

Maybe this doesn't mean how powerful Wang Tianyu is, but what can be thought of is:

He has seen everything in the world, encountered all opponents, and encountered all dangers, and now that he has come to this battlefield, he is very confident that he can survive.

He is even confident that even if only one person can survive on the battlefield, then the only person will only be himself.

Since arriving in the Guge Plain, Wang Tianyu has been reconnoitring with the team nine times in the next two months as the most ordinary paladin, five of which have encountered the undead ghosts, eliminating the unique scout "shadows" of the undead dozens, and the military merits have been reported, and when he returns to the barracks, he will be rewarded and promoted immediately.

As night fell, the ten-man reconnaissance team did not have time to return to the camp, so they chose to rest for one night on the Guge Plain and continue their journey tomorrow.

On a night without starlight and moonlight, the bonfire crackled and burned, the summer night breeze was slightly cool, the atmosphere was a little dull, a bag of slightly sour inferior beer passed from everyone's hands one by one, and everyone was wordlessly roasting the fire, and on the fire were three rather fat rabbits.

There was no fear of encountering the undead legion, this was the most remote corner of the Guge Plain, next to the abyss of death, which could be called a heavenly ravine, and only a nervous would command his troops here.

So it's safe here, and rightfully so.

Most of the people here, except for Wang Tianyu and another short-haired girl, were older, and the weapons beside them were varied, including war hammers and straight knives, sickles and short swords.

Because they are the Holy Crossers who have been retired for many years and are now called back.

The silence was not due to the age gap between them, but to the village they had passed by this morning, which was left with only helpless souls and walking corpses, so they had to choose to purify the entire village.

The short-haired girl looked at the only peer around her, thinking about the tragic situation she had seen during the day, her voice was slightly angry but still tried to keep her voice as soft: "I don't know when we will be able to launch a counterattack, and by then, those filthy undead must pay for their lives." ”

Wang Tianyu shook his head, pulled out two potatoes from the fire, picked one up and handed it to the girl next to him, and did not speak.

He also couldn't figure out when the coalition forces had been stationed here for more than two months but only sent this ranger out to reconnoitre, when would they really attack? In a few days, it will be winter, and the undead who have no sense of heat and cold, and will not be affected by the weather, will have a greater advantage, and if they fight in the cold, the soldiers of the coalition army will have to pay more than now.

Although the girl's voice is quite soft, the weakest demon protector here is also herself with a realm as high as a four-star Chinese army, where is there a reason that she can't hear?

An uncle next to him cut a piece of rabbit meat with a knife and threw it into his mouth, chewing and saying vaguely, "The two sides can't fight, at least not for the time being." ”

Wang Tianyu looked at the uncle with a little surprise, and the girl directly retorted, "The countries have gathered the allied forces, and my holy country has issued a war order, how can there be a fake? We eat and live here, how much does it cost to ensure food, food and grass every day, and it took so much effort to assemble the troops, how can we not fight?"

The girl was a little annoyed by the tragic scene she saw in the morning, and she wanted to kill the undead now to vent her anger, and her tone was naturally not very good, but fortunately, the uncle seemed to have experienced a lot of stories, and he didn't seem to care about it, so he shook his head and asked, "Then do you look like you're going to fight?"

Wang Tianyu had been silent before, but when he heard his uncle's rhetorical question, he suddenly spoke, "Although there is no frontal conflict, the skirmish has been going on, isn't it?"

The uncle, who had been retired for nearly ten years, looked at the young man and girl in front of him with doubts on his face, quickly chewed a few bites and swallowed the rabbit meat and explained seriously, "Because the undead have the emperor, the legendary empress, no one wants to try how terrifying it will be when the emperor tries his best, I believe that not only I don't want to try, but those high-ranking big people don't want to try either, so the allies can't attack easily, as for the undead ......" The uncle sneered, and couldn't help but show pride and confidence in his words, "Just with their pile of dry bones and dead souls, they also want to break through." 'Hindrance' to the Coming of the Kingdom of God"?

The Advent of the Kingdom of God is a large array completed by the concerted efforts of many temples, in which the combat power of the warriors is at least doubled, and the undead will be greatly weakened and suffer from endless automatic attacks, which is naturally not an object that the undead army is willing to touch easily.

Wang Tianyu figured out the reason at this time and breathed a sigh of relief, just smiled and was about to say something to ease the atmosphere, but was surprised to find that the silence of the night was broken by the rumbling sound of horses' hooves.

The kind of war horses galloping from far and near even made the earth tremble and moan.

Everyone picked up their weapons and stood up to look in the direction where the sound came from, and on the intertwined line between the night sky and the earth, thousands of troops and horses poured in, and the only fire in the darkness became the target of the undead legion.

As if they hadn't expected to encounter an army of the undead in such a remote location—too remote to even pay the tax collector in normal times—the commander of the undead army had clearly not expected to see the light of fire here, but in any case, whether it was a mistake or fate, the planned night raid was disrupted by the sudden appearance of the bonfire.

The commander in charge of the raid calmly thought about the possible punishment of the Empress after the failure of the night attack, and then found that he could not calm down at all, so he pointed to the bonfire and ordered that he must kill all of them and leave no one alive.

He thought it was a beacon signal from the night patrol team of the human alliance, but he couldn't figure it out, how could this night watch patrol reach such a ghost location?

Could it be that it is to make it easier to jump into the abyss and commit suicide to avoid the leakage of information?

Are you here for the night watch or are you here for a covert mission?

If it is a night watch, naturally they cannot be allowed to escape back, and if they are on a covert mission, they cannot be left alive.

In other words, these people are nidal no matter what.

Everyone did not hesitate at all, and immediately lit the bonfire and ran away to hide while it was dark, but found that the dark clouds in the night sky had strangely dispersed, revealing the miserable white moonlight, and the miserable wolf moo was extremely high, but they found that the moonlight had disappeared.

It was not dark clouds that obscured the moonlight, but gargoyles that filled the sky.

A blood-stained iron chain meat hook was thrown out violently, easily penetrating the light armor on the girl's body, and stabbing into the girl's back, the girl bit her lip and lowered her head to run wildly with everyone, at this time let out a painful snort, and the unbalanced body flew away like a kite with a broken string.

There was no way to save it at all, everyone could only watch the girl being hooked away, and then a holy white light bloomed in the undead legion, which was the dazzling holy light that the girl burned her life and all the demon souls, but at this time there was no time to grieve the girl's sacrifice, the only thing to do was to continue to run.

However, in a moment, the wolf mooed again, and the leader of the makeshift team realized what was coming, and his face turned pale.

A silver-white light flashed in the air, and the huge wolf body drew a smooth curve in the air like a hill and stopped in front of everyone, even if it landed on all fours, it was still as tall as two adult men, it intercepted the people who were running wildly, and then was jumped up by the team leader and smashed his head with a hammer and pressed straight to the ground.

"You guys go quickly. The squad leader shouted, but saw that the giant wolf's gaze revealed cruelty and bloodthirstiness, and slowly raised his head again against the war hammer, and the white wolf teeth made the squad leader frightened from the bottom of his heart, and at the last moment, a sickle slashed at the wolf's eyes.

It was another middle-aged man with an extremely ordinary appearance.

Wang Tianyu did not hesitate too much, and immediately decided to abandon these two companions who voluntarily sacrificed their lives for righteousness, and continued to run away in embarrassment.

And although it didn't take long for the two of them to have their flesh peeled open and blood flowing, but looking at the army of undead surrounded by them, the two seemed to be very satisfied with the delay in time, smiled miserably, and chose to blow themselves up at the same time.

I don't know how many low-level ghouls and skeleton warriors were directly taken away by this dazzling white light, and they could only hear a wail.

The gargoyles in the sky captured three more people, and soon after, the blinding light shone again.

Countless bats directly gnawed a person into white bones.

Wang Tianyu doesn't know how many companions he has, and he doesn't know who will die next, but he wants to live, he still has people he cares about, and he hasn't been in a relationship yet, how can he allow himself to die here?

Despite being a paladin, and despite his impartiality and willingness to give, for some reason he was unwilling and would never give his life.

More than a dozen white lights fell, seemingly a dozen white lights, but in fact they were countless silver-white lights, compared to the brilliance of the previous self-explosion, it was so dim.

Those rays of light are swords.

The uncle who had given a serious explanation before fell straight down, his expression was extremely painful, Wang Tianyu only felt as if his soul was pierced by countless sharp swords, his face was pale and he knelt on one knee, bit himself hard to stay awake, forcibly endured his headache, got up and staggered and ran a few steps, and jumped towards the abyss of death without hesitation.

The wild wolf looked at the boy who jumped into the abyss, let out a low roar, and turned into a human.

The commander of the undead legion looked at the werewolf who shrugged his shoulders to him, and secretly said in his heart, could it be that he was right, it was really convenient for these humans to choose to camp here?
