Chapter 39 History is not static
Talonshire Central Square.
After a hard battle, the soldiers guarding Talon County finally persevered until the arrival of reinforcements, and after destroying the remnants of the army, the soldiers were rejoicing for the rest of the disaster, while Etis was not idle, he searched everywhere for news of Gianna and Arthas, but Etis searched almost all over Talon County and did not find them.
Etis, who didn't know what had gone wrong, returned to the temporary station that the Silver Hand had just set up in Daron County Square, and after asking a few knights of the Silver Hand still found nothing, he had no choice but to find Uther in the hope of getting some inside information.
"Commander Uther!" Atis saw Uther in a corner of the temporary garrison, and immediately ran over to Uther, who was treating a wounded soldier.
Uther saw Etis running over and waved his free hand at him to refuse him to come closer, and Utis paused for a moment, and then saw the soldier wailing in pain, and at once understood what Uther meant.
Seeing that Uther didn't want to be disturbed, Utis had to wait patiently not far away, and after a while, Uther finally finished treating all the seriously wounded, and then ordered the other free paladins to take over his work and walked towards Etis.
"Your Excellency, Messenger!"
Atis saw Uther coming over and greeted him: "Captain Uther just call me Atis." ”
Uther nodded and said, "Atis, you can also call me Uther." Apparently Uther's words could tell that the Lightbringer had approved of Etis.
Uther paused and then said to Etis: "Etis, I know what you want to ask, I didn't feel the light of Arthas when I entered Talon County, and the guards in Talon County are very weak, I confirmed with those soldiers that Arthas left with some of the elite two hours ago, and Her Highness Gianna was worried that Arthas would take those people to their deaths. ”
"What? The Prince of Arthas left on his own, regardless of the safety of Talon County, and Gianna went too?"
Perhaps it was too loud for some soldiers and civilians not far from them to hear Aetis's words, and there was a whispered discussion in the crowd, but there were also some people who believed in Arthas and glared at Attis: "Shut up, elves, the prince of Arthas has more important things to do!
Etis touched his nose in embarrassment and ignored this statement of a dead duck's hard mouth, and then said to Uther: "I'm sorry, Uther, it's me who lost my words, I'm just a little worried about Gianna." ”
Uther didn't blame Etis but said with some concern: "It's okay Etis, I also want to thank you for helping us fight, without your magic we wouldn't have rushed into Talon County so quickly, even if I could, but I couldn't save everyone alone, and you're right, Arthas shouldn't have left at this time, he put the people in danger, it's just ......"
Uther hesitated for a moment before continuing: "Atis, Arthas has always been a good boy, but I don't know why, since this plague broke out, he has become very aggressive, especially since Gianna came, which is very abnormal......"
Hearing Uther's concern, Etis, who had been a little sour about Gianna leaving with Arthas, suddenly became alert. Because Uther was right, Etis, who had the foresight, understood that Arthas had not left Talon County in history, but had been fighting until Uther's arrival.
Etis is also a little helpless, time is really troublesome, he is not predetermined, but full of corrective power, especially after he came here, he always feels constrained, he always feels that he will change history if he does something, this feeling is terrible.
After Uther looked at the distressed Etis, he was worried about Gianna and comforted him, and said, "Atis, Gianna is an excellent mage, he will protect himself." ”
"I understand, Uther, and although I believe Gianna, I can't help but worry, and I'm sure you understand that...... Uh....."
Atis noticed that Uther was looking at him strangely, and Etis, who was staring at him uncomfortably, coughed and changed the subject: "Uther, I think I need to act, and when I have a little rest, I will ride my griffon from the sky to find their traces." ”
Uther nodded and then took out a cross and handed it to Etis and said: "Etis I am also worried about Arthas and them, but for now I want to ensure the safety of the people of Talon County, and then I will gather troops and start cleaning up the surrounding undead, you look for Arthas first, and when I finish cleaning up, I will look for you with the breath of this cross." ”
The cross did not look good, like an ordinary iron cross, but Etis could feel a huge amount of holy energy hidden inside, and just holding the cross in his hand made Etis feel very peaceful in his heart.
"This is too precious, I can't ask for ......."
Uther stretched out his hand to interrupt Attis's words and said solemnly: "Accept, Aetis, this cross is what I have worn with me for many years, and I will use him to pray to the Holy Light every morning and evening, this undead spirit all over the mountains is too dangerous for you alone, remember, activate him directly when you are in danger and he will protect you." ”
After Uther stuffed the cross to Etis, he turned directly to help the other paladins of the Silver Hand heal the wounded, Utis looked at Uther and smiled bitterly: "What a stubborn and old-fashioned knightly dogma..."
Etis opened his mouth to say something, but when he saw Uther's busy figure, he swallowed the words again, but judging from the shape of his mouth, what Etis wanted to say was very simple, that is, "Thank you".
Forget it, let's talk about it next time...... Etis rubbed his eyes vigorously, then summoned pride and left.
Sodoril River.
The beautiful scenery along the river is gone, and the small animals that used to like to drink water are gone, only the stench of dead weeds and corpses quietly tells of the atrocities of the plague of the undead.
A man with a hood led an old horse along the river, a man with a somewhat crickety figure, but judging from his steady pace, it was clear that this man was not as useless as he looked, and he carried an axe to chop wood along the riverbank to clean up some of the undead who were still attached to the world.
"Poof!poof!poof!"
The sound of an axe chopping meat kept coming, and the hooded man watched as he cleaned up, stopping and stopping, and soon he cleared a clearing around him.
"Let's go, Blanche, and come back tomorrow. A faint voice sounded, and the hooded man put away his axe when he saw that he was almost done, and then led the old horse towards a hidden valley.
Not long after they left, a group of people sped in from a distance, watched the corpses of the undead on the ground scout for a moment, and then left, if Etis was here, he would surely recognize the blonde girl in the team on the magic carpet was the Gianna he had been looking for......
