Chapter 69: Facing Death
"I didn't expect you guys to resist for so long. "Arthas stopped in the open space in front www.biquge.info of the human defenses, and the 'monster' under his crotch appeared quite obedient. "The first time I saw you, I thought you were very different, Pastor Smith. ”
Benny ignored Arthas, he turned to Redpass and said, "Go and gather all the paladins here!"
"Ah~ I just lack some of my capable men. Those paladins are a good choice. Especially you. Arthas lifted Frost Sorrow and pointed at Benny. "You will be a very powerful subordinate, and I will give you eternal life and strength. ”
"You have a stench on you, Arthas. Benny shielded himself, though it might not be of much use. "Do you think I don't know who your master is, and is that bug that only hides in an ice coffin chattering in your ear?"
Arthas's face remained unchanged: "I appreciate you more and more. ”
"Your appreciation disgusts me, Arthas, and even more so the way you gain power. ”
Arthas smiled disdainfully: "Do you know what power is? The light you rely on? It is nothing! What I have now is called power! When I give you this power, you will know how weak the light you believe in!"
"The Light has helped your kingdom overcome all difficulties, and it is today. Benny continued to stall for time, and there were more and more paladins behind him.
"False victory! This kingdom is not vulnerable at all! I will let you know what a real victory is!"
The undead behind Arthas began to stagger forward, they were a little different from the previous ones, they were armed and armoured, they were soldiers who followed Arthas on his expedition to Northrend.
"Show me the power you rely on. "Arthas didn't move, and it wasn't time for him to do it himself.
Benny yelled, "All paladins forward. ”
The soldiers on the front line retreated, and the paladins gave way to their positions, and the clash of armor resounded.
"Let them continue to retreat around the portal and retreat with the civilians!
The soldiers on the front line receded like a tide, and Benny took a deep breath and shouted, "Prepare to take the enemy!"
The light shot up into the sky, illuminating the streets with the holy light emanating from nearly 200 paladins, and Arthas narrowed his eyes with a look of disgust on his face.
The undead are getting closer and closer, 30 meters---- 20 meters---- 10 meters----- Benny can already clearly see the maggots on the undead's body.
"Pick up the enemy!" Benny roared.
"For the light!" the paladins responded, their bodies shining with light, and rushed into the horde of corpses.
The undead were vulnerable to the golden light, which scorched their bodies and souls.
These brainless undead have no thoughts, no cooperation, they just howl meaninglessly, rushing at all living things.
The battle continues, the undead begin to play to their advantage, they will not fear, they will never stop. And ---- abundance is as inexhaustible as the sea. The knights' stamina was declining, and maintaining the Light was not an easy task, and their spirits were depleted as quickly as their stamina.
Benny stood behind the line and didn't make a move, and he needs to conserve his energy and be ready to face a bigger threat. The communication crystal in his arms was a little warm, and Benny took out the crystal and turned on the communication.
"Benny?" was Lord Fran's voice.
"It's me. ”
"The evacuation of the refugees is complete!
"How many more people are here?"
"And the soldiers, some priests, about 2,000 people. ”
"We arrived 20 minutes later. ”
Benny interrupted the communication and took a deep breath.
"Assemble!"
The paladins strangled with the corpses gradually gathered.
"Croford! Gavins!"
"Benny!" Croford still shone with holy light, and his silver armor was covered in flesh.
"Prepare to retreat, it's almost over there!"
The paladin nodded and returned to the battle formation. The paladins began to slowly retreat.
"You seem to be running away?" the undead suddenly stopped attacking, and Arthas rode his skeletal horse through the horde of corpses.
Benny walked to the front of the paladin array, turned back to the stopped paladin array, and said, "Keep retreating, he will give it to me." ”
The paladins didn't move.
"This is not the time to put your noble character to the test, Benny. Croford stepped out of the array with a smile on his face.
"I don't have time to fight with you about this, you have no idea how powerful he is!"
"He's our problem, Benny. Gavins stepped out of the array.
"Of course, the traitors of the Silver Hand should be dealt with by ourselves. "A handsome middle-aged paladin, Benny doesn't know what his name is.
"A 17-year-old man, you have put us to shame for what you have done. ”
More and more paladins are making their voices heard, and a young man of 17 is going to stop Arthas, they can't do it, the Light will spit on them.
"Benny, he's not going to give us that much time to decide. Croford gestured to Alsace, who was watching the scene with interest.
"Retreat together, you idiots!" Benny's face flushed. "You don't know what I'm capable of! I can stop him, and I can live!"
"Come on, boy, you're only 17 years old, you're already good enough. ”
"Yes, boy, you are now the head of the 'Dawn Light', do you want us to leave the head behind!"
"Have you decided who died first?" Alsace scoffed.
"Damn, stop arguing, keep the array back, everyone. ”
"It's decided?" Arthas raised Frost Sorrow, the skeletal steed beneath his crotch neighing.
It was too fast, 20 meters away, less than 2 seconds, Frost Sorrow hit Benny's shield, and Benny's face turned pale. The shield of maximum strength made him lose half of his mental power at once, damn it, is the gap so big.
"Arthas!" Ravens roared, swinging his hammer at Arthas.
Frostmourn easily blocked the hammer.
"Look at this, traitor. "Croford attacked from the other side.
More paladins joined the warband, and Arthas rushed left and right as if he were playing prey.
Benny gasped, the Holy Light Shield, the Holy Light Shackles, and the spiritual power was consumed as fast as running water.
"I'm getting a little bored. "Frost Sorrow began to glow blue. Paladins began to suffer casualties, and Arthas brandished his sword, each of which brought out a piece of blood.
"Supreme Light!
A wall of light quickly condensed, stretching across the middle of the street, revealing only a large hole in the middle.
"Retreat behind the wall of light!" Benny yelled with all his might, his face as pale as paper.
The battle continued, and the young paladin was ordered to pass through the wall of light.
"Let's go!" Gavinrad shoved a paladin into the wall of light. "Close the wall of light, Benny! or no one will be able to leave!"
Arthas was pressing in, Benny's mental power was already overdrawn, and the hole in the wall of light was slowly closing.
"Take him away, he's our hope!" Croford brandished his hammer, the armor on his chest torn and blood streaming down his wound.
Benny's eyes began to blur, and the voices in his ears began to leave him, and he persisted, looking at the paladins fighting outside the walls of light.
"Idiot!" Benny squeezed out two words, his eyes darkened. The light wall is condensed and completed.
