Chapter 96: The Oath of the Hammer
An hour later.
"The banner of the Holy Knights has not yet fallen!" Seeing that the Holy Sword Bible Flag in front of him was still hanging high, the squad leader's spirit was lifted: "All of them are there, reorganize the formation, and prepare for battle!" ”
"The light of God the Father will grant me victory!"
Closer, closer, but when the team of the Paladins rushed up to the small mound that was not tall, everything in front of them made them freeze in place for an instant!
A kilometer away on the battlefield, there were corpses of second-line troops everywhere, and there was not a single living mouth left, and the only erected Holy Sword Bible Banner passed through the spine of a female dwarf, nailing her to the ground while standing!
"Nana! Nana! With a thud, the dwarven paladin threw down his hammer, clasped his hands, and rushed forward. The Paladin Squad Leader shouted, "Hammer, hammer!" But the dwarven paladin neither answered, nor looked back, and rushed with fighting spirit and divine strength, and suddenly stumbled and fell, then jumped up, and rushed in front of the female dwarf in a moment.
The dwarven paladin and his wife respected each other like a guest, and everyone knew a lot, seeing the female dwarf die, he was so sad, everyone's hearts seemed to be tightened, with the strength of the dwarf paladin, how could he stumble and fall when he ran and sprinted? That is the only way to be like this, because the mind is in turmoil, and God does not keep it.
The paladins were relatively silent, and the atmosphere on the field was terrifyingly oppressive. After a long time, a roar like thunder came out of the mouth of the dwarf paladin: "Uh~~~"
A day later.
The dead paladins and magicians have been buried, and some of them have been corrupted beyond recognition by black magic, and everyone can't tell who is who, so they can only be buried together.
Hammer locked himself in the tent, and for a whole day he didn't even let the squad leader in, he didn't eat or drink, he just quietly smoked and stroked the sledgehammer in his hand, and the smoke in the tent came out along the gap in the tent, and people who didn't know thought it was on fire.
"Hammer, people are iron rice and amethyst, no matter how sad you are, you have to eat!" The squad leader's voice was a little anxious, there were more than seventy or eighty paladins under him, which one of them was not a brother who had died! The dwarven paladin is usually easy-going, and he can't imagine that he is more stubborn than a cow.
"Captain, I'll be out in a moment." The sound of the hammer was exhausting.
"Hey." The team leader put down his dinner and sighed and left.
The Dwarven Paladin stroked the sledgehammer in his hand, although almost all of the most common weapons of the dwarves were hammers, but his hammer was different, it was made by his lover and him, and it took three full days, until it was completed, and his Nana told him that he was pregnant with a hammer... Thinking of this, the dwarven paladin's heart twitched in pain: "Shadow Church! You have made me lose the love of my life, and if I don't take revenge, what face will I have to survive in the world! ”
Another day later.
"Hammer, eat. Hammer? Hammer! The team leader couldn't hear a response, and anxiously lifted the tent.
The tent was empty, except for a letter that had been crushed by a stone on the ground, with only a few numbers on it: "Captain, when I die, the hammer will leave it to you." ”
At this point, there was no news from the Dwarven Paladin.
Half a month later, the temple.
The battle came to an end with the disappearance of the Calamity Dragon, and the devastated Church of Shadows went underground as usual, while the Paladins, who had also suffered heavy losses, returned to the Temple of Quicksand Scales.
"Hammer, cry if you want to." The captain of the knights looked at the hammer that was silent, and his heart was also extremely sad.
"Uncle, my father, do you have anything else to say?" Hammer showed composure that was inconsistent with his peers.
"He didn't say anything else, but entrusted you to me." Listening to the hammer's muffled voice, the squad leader sighed.
"Kid, follow me and try your hand at blacksmithing." A large figure approached from outside the temple, and on his chest, a medallion made of amethyst glistened.
"Master Ban!" The Knights' squad leader bowed respectfully.
"I heard about the battle and made a special trip from Locksell to see it. The children of the martyrs should learn to forge with me, those who are talented will stay, and those who are not talented, I will also give them some benefits. Ben's voice was full of majesty.
"Okay, master, I'll learn forging with you!" The captain was startled by the hammer's firm voice, and he turned around, only to find that the hammer had carried the sledgehammer, which was taller than his own height.
"Huh? Dwarf, you don't have a lot of strength. Ben had some surprise in his eyes.
"This is the task that my father left me, and now that my father is gone, but the mission will continue. Even if my hammer doesn't have any talent, even if my hammer doesn't have any ability, even if my hammer only has the big hammer in my hand, I will shed the last drop of blood to eradicate the Shadow Church's cancer of Eswell! ”
Ben was amazed at Hammer's determination, and he took a deep breath: "Good! Just say this to you, my class will accept you as an apprentice! From today onwards, you can call me a teacher, and I will teach you everything I know! ”
**********
"Although later due to some special reasons, I left my teacher and went to the city of Lyre alone. But my determination, my faith, has never wavered! When he said this, Kester only felt that the image of the hammer seemed to be tall in an instant!
"I can't imagine that Grandpa Hammer has such a past...", Kester sighed.
"Since this strange incident involves the Calamity Demon Dragon, it must be the handiwork of the Shadow Church! Maybe I'm old, but I can at least do something for you. Hammer said slowly.
"Grandpa Hammer, you still don't want to fight, I'm afraid..."
Seeing that Kester had misunderstood what he meant, Hammer explained, "Of course I know that I can only be a burden when I go to battle, but don't forget, I'm a forger, and although I'm very rudimentary, it's still okay to help you build a light armor." Do you have the right materials? ”
Kester touched his pocket, he really had some materials, but they weren't very high-end, and the only thing he could give to the hammer was a low-quality traveler scorpion core, a broken monster skin and two jagged wurm teeth from the traveler scorpion.
Iron Hammer looked at it and sighed: "Actually, although your materials are not particularly high-end, they are not bad, but they can't be used to combine, each can only be used separately, if you don't mind, just put it here with me, and I'll help you deal with it." ”
Kester's head turned a few thoughts, and finally, he nodded: "Grandpa Hammer, I'll help, the two of us should be a lot faster!" ”
"Good! Come with me to the backyard and I'll help you forge your armor, which is what I promised you before. ”
