278 Last line of defense

The picture of memory gradually became vivid. For more exciting novels, please visit

At that time, the young man, who was physically and mentally exhausted, looked at it haggardly, and his gaze was as clear as the rare bright moonlight outside the window, reflecting the suppressed melancholy in his eyes, and he said words like prophecy.

"In addition to the blood of my enemies, this sword also has the blood of my father, and the blood of my brothers...... One day, my blood will also flow in his presence......"

Xia didn't want to think about what kind of emotions and premonitions he had at that time to say such things, but the terrible thing was that they all came true in the end.

"Darien......" she called out his name in despair, so so soft in despair and disbelief that Simon could barely hear her beside her.

Of course, this faint voice could not reach the ears of the indifferent dead rider.

Darien simply carried the cursed-tainted Ember Bringer, staggering slightly but still determined towards them.

The door's staff was aimed at Darien, and Thea subconsciously tried to reach out and try to reach for his staff. Although she can almost only raise her hand because of the struggle, she will not miss the gate that has been paying attention to her.

"How?" His voice whispered in Thea's ear.

Asked by Simon, Sia hesitated again. She suddenly realized that it was too hard for her to make such a determination. She didn't understand what made the Darion she remembered become the Deathrider Leader who was so different except for his appearance that he was almost unrecognizable. But she hesitated in her heart—reason told her that Darien was now her enemy, and even more so the sworn enemy of the organization he had once defended, and that she should kill him. But emotionally, she can't do it, and she can't even do it by herself.

What if, like Felicia, Darien also has some vague memories of his old people? Will he come to his senses like Felicia?

Although this is just a fluke, it is like a seed that slowly sprouts, breaking through the ground in Xia's heart, wavering and shaking Xia's determination.

Neither Thea's hesitation, nor Simon's hesitation gave Darien any intention of stopping. Experience as a melee had taught him that he had to get close. to kill these two people. The enemy must die, and this Chapel of Light's Wish must be razed to the ground—this is the will of its master, the Lich King, the will that must be done. The icy blue glow of Darian's eyes was even brighter. He held the ember, which had been desecrated in his hand, and the messenger walked slowly but surely towards the two of them.

One step, two steps......

It's close. It's closer......

Simon frowned slightly. In his eyes, nothing was more important than Thea's safety.

"Since this is a difficult decision for you, I might as well call the shots. That way, you don't have to carry any burdens. ”

The Cerberus muzzle at the top of the staff once again condensed with black light, and Simon narrowed his eyes slightly. His mouth rolled with a low, shrunk incantation that only Thea could hear.

It's the language of the dragon!

Thea looked at Simon in astonishment, knowing that Simon was serious about killing Darian this time.

Was this a decision he made for her?

"No!" Xia was in a hurry, and couldn't help blurting out. Although she immediately covered her mouth, at this moment, it was her personal emotions that prevailed over reason.

Simon naturally heard her objection, but he pretended not to hear it, and continued to chant the incantation.

He knew that after all, Shia was just a leader who was soft-hearted and did not get rid of hostile positions. It is also clear what kind of adverse effect it will have on the situation of the war. So, Simon made up his mind to send this guy out of the world, and the speed of the spell sped up a few points.

Before his last incantation could be chanted, a loud trumpet echoed across the battlefield.

Almost all the people on the battlefield who still had the energy to be distracted subconsciously looked in the direction where the horn sound came.

Darien also stopped, his cold expression loosening slightly, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a hideous and satisfied arc.

It was the clarion call for the withdrawal of the Silver Dawn.

This means that the second line of defense is also on the verge of collapse.

There was a pause at the gate, and the chanting of the incantation slowed down.

The sound of the trumpet also gave Thea an excuse to convince herself completely.

"Simon, we have to retreat." She said in a hoarse voice as she tugged at Simon's sleeve. "This horn sounded, everyone must retreat to the last line of defense, and it is too late to retreat. And...... I have to go to Erigor...... Horse ......"

Simon took a deep look, then turned to Darien, who was no more than twenty paces away. Finally stopped the spell.

"As long as you're safe......" Before the words fell, the green circle under his feet flashed, and he had already taken Xia back to the rear through the short teleportation array.

"Why do you want to withdraw?"

After the chaotic crowd in the rear found Erigor, before Shia could speak. Simon had already sent all his accumulated anger out on Erigor's head and questioned.

"I'm sorry, I know you've done your best - you've been holding back the Death Rider leader for a long time." "However, there is a problem with the left and right flanks - both flanks have been breached by the squads of the dead riders, and if you are left on the road, you will easily be outflanked." If the road is gone...... So I could only give the order to retreat. ”

Listened to Erigor's answer. The chapel behind the Porta de Sai.

"Is this the last line of defense? May your Light and Holy Spirit bless you. After speaking, he didn't say anything more, just held the staff and sat on the ground casually, as if he closed his eyes and rested.

His gesture made Xia feel a little sorry. After all, Simon exerted great strength against the leader of the Death Riders, Darian, but because of her relationship, it was in vain. Simon guiltily pretended to sleep, but now she had something more important to tell Erigor. That's a Darien thing.

"Erigor, the leader of the Dead Riders...... It's Darian. Thea tried to keep her voice down, but her voice was too hoarse to speak. It took almost all of her strength to finish this simple sentence with difficulty. After saying that, she didn't look away, not daring to go to Gore's reaction.

“…… Darian? At first, Erigor didn't seem to understand who Thia's Darien was talking about, but as the young man in his memory gradually emerged, Erigor's voice couldn't help but tremble. You said...... Is that Darian? ”

Erigor's hands fell on Thea's shoulders, and his big and broad hands were pinching Chia like iron tongs at the moment, forcing Thea to meet Erigor's incredulous gaze.

"Darien. Mograini? ”

Thea gritted her teeth and looked at Erigor and nodded, affirming the painful answer.

The answer is so stinging. So much so that Xia nodded and lowered her head to avoid Erigor's gaze, not daring to react again.

Erigor's movements froze, and he seemed to have taken a long time to finally accept this reality, and he let go of his hands in despair, and then slapped his face hard.

The slightly dull sound seemed to hit Thea's heart. It made her tremble as if she were empathetic.

"Shia......" Erigor's voice was jerky but calm. Thank you. This information is important...... Now that he has become a puppet of the Lich King, it is up to us, as former comrades-in-arms, to stop him. ”

Although Xia had a hunch that Erigor's personality was very likely to make such a decision, he did not expect that he had made up his mind so quickly.

She Erigor.

Erigor was under Shia's gaze, and his gaze unconsciously dodged. He looked away from the church.

"This is already the last line of defense. So. We had no choice but to hold on and wait for reinforcements at the Kauling crossing. As a commander, there's not much more I can do now. So, Darien...... I'll play it myself. ”

"But ......"

Erigor waved his hand, interrupting Shia's dissuasion.

"Listen to me, Thea. You may not understand what Darien's identity means to Silver Dawn - he was once a member of the most prominent family in the fight against the Scourge and has a high reputation and reputation among the ordinary warriors of Silver Dawn. He even sacrificed himself to save the Chapel of Light's Wishes! …… Such a warrior has now become a lackey of the Lich King!! Erigor spoke in an agitated tone but then fell back down, "I must knock him down before more people find out who he is, or this will be a devastating blow to our morale." ”

"I know......" Thea bowed her head. The hand gripped the staff in his hand, but no matter how tightly he gripped it, the body of the staff would not be warm but a metallic cold chill. "I'm sorry ......"

"No need to apologize." Erigor drew his saber and held it to his eyes for a moment. The bright blade of the sword reflected his expression of forbearance and pain. "That's why we must bring down the Lich King—so that we don't have such a pathetic and cursed fate when we die. Now, I'm going to free Darien from this cursed fate. ”

Erigor smiled at Thea, though it was reluctant. But it shows that Eregor is already determined. And Xia can only return the smile with a smile, even if she laughs at the moment, she probably won't cry well. However, she has come to terms with reality and accepted Erigore's decision.

"Leave it to me, then!"

Erigor nodded. He suddenly remembered something. Leaned over to Thea's side and said in a low voice, "There is a magic circle in the basement of the church, and Lord Ferding once said that the power that can communicate with the Holy Spirit has greatly increased the power of his holy light in a short period of time......"

"Then why are you ......"

Faced with Thea's questioning, Erigor smiled bitterly. "The power of the Holy Spirit must be activated by the strength of the hero, and the one who activates must stand in the circle as a medium. I can't do it in melee. Not as a last resort. We cannot easily disturb the rest of the Holy Spirit. So, that's our last line of defense. If...... When the ground defense line is about to be overwhelmed, Shia, you ......"

"I see!" Shia interrupted him. "If that happens, I'll go and activate the circle."

Seeing that Shia understood what he meant, Erigor smiled comfortingly.

"One more thing, if ...... If we really don't have time before reinforcements arrive...... So. Thea, you have one more mission, which is to use the sacred fire to reverse into the circle - so that the entire basement will be burned down. ”

Xia's eyes widened in surprise before Erigor smiled bitterly.

"The Heroic Spirit is not to be blasphemed, and the Lich King must not be allowed to defile the Holy Spirit that rests there. However, this is the most grooved cake situation, isn't it? Our effort is not to let it happen. ”

After saying that, Erigor turned around and left only a back for Xia, and hurried to the front.

"Simon ......"

Hia Rigor's back, depressed. She called Simon's name. "I shouldn't have hesitated. Otherwise, there would be no need for Eregor to do such a dangerous thing now. ”

After a pause, she then asked, "You say, will Erigor win?" ”

"He's not going to die!" Simon was silent for a moment, then gave an affirmative answer that calmed Thea's heart.

"That's great...... "Thea replied in a low mood.

If Erigor is fine, then Darien will definitely die.

"This is a battlefield, and there is no room for any hand left by the enemy or the enemy." Xia whispered self-deprecatingly, "Sure enough, on the battlefield, I am still only suitable for being a small pawn pawn, and it is good to listen to the command and take steps." ”

Simon opened his eyes, and Xia, who blamed himself intently, said word by word.

"You're wrong. You're not a pawn, you never have been, it's just that the queen of the storm isn't for you. He said, "You are king!" ”

Simon's metaphor surprised Thea and was a little confused. "King?"

"Yes, king!" Simon affirmed, "As long as you live, it's victory." ”

"O king...... Where do I have that much importance to the game......"

Thea didn't take Simon's words seriously. She turned her head to focus on Erigor and Darien, who had collided together. The golden light and the green blasphemous aura collided with each other, and the swirling air flow rushed straight into the night.

Such a magnificent battle, but Simon didn't pay attention to it at all.

Sia looked intently at the battlefield, and he only focused.

Not that important?

No...... No.

It's important...... Anyone and everything matters!

For me, you are the most important thing to the person who is in charge of everything.

It's just that......

Light and darkness? No, it should be said that it is conceived and destroyed.

Whose side will you be on when twilight falls?

Simon's eyes narrowed slightly, and countless years seemed to flow through his deep and bottomless black eyes, but no matter how many times, he was the result after all.

With a condensed expression, Simon finally sighed silently.

Thea let out a low breath. (To be continued.) )

P.S. I'm back-, I feel like I'm going to enter a new wave of schedule with trumpets and I'm stupid and stupid, so this month may be used as a recovery period to transition. I hope that what I write will not disappoint my dear Da who has been waiting.

What a group~
