58 The Scarlet Messenger and the Lily

The identity of the wounded who awoke was quickly identified, a blood-colored messenger tasked with traveling between Stratholme and Tyre.

"Commander Marlan, why are you here? Aren't you supposed to be stationed at the Hand of Tyr? Over here...... Yes, Chapel of the Light's Wishes? How do you hang out with those cowards? ”

Although Marlan was several levels higher than the Courier in terms of official position, the fanaticism of the Scarlet Army did not allow them to mix sand in their eyes. The Courier woke up shocked to be in the Chapel of Light's Wishes, but fortunately Silver Dawn was a splinter from the Scarlet Crusade, so he didn't react more violently, even though he expressed skepticism. It's just that the first thing he said was to ask Marlan why he was here.

"Commander Marlan, thank you very much for saving your life, but if you leave the garrison without the permission of General Da Sohan, I will still report this matter truthfully." The messenger said sternly.

"If Marlan hadn't found you, you'd have died...... "Thea said with some uneasiness as the courier's reaction was surprised.

Compared to Thea's excitement, Marlan seemed calm. "You just report it truthfully. By the way, there is nothing that brought me. ”

"I remember someone brought you a bag of things, but the big packages were all with my horse......"

Marlan nodded. "I see, I'll send someone to do another search." With that, she turned to leave.

"Wait...... Wait a minute, sir. The voice of the messenger came from behind him.

"What's wrong?"

Using his hand, which was still trembling slightly, he fumbled for a small space bag from the hidden pocket in his arms.

"The really important letters are in it, including a secret letter from General Dassohan to the Prophet Timidia." The messenger said this.

Marlan was silent for a moment before taking the bag. "Understood. The stakes are high, and I'll personally send it to the Hand of Tyr for you. ”

Marlan's answer caused the Courier to hesitate for a moment, but nevertheless said, "Commander Marlan, thank you very much for saving your life. It's just where the duty lies......"

"I understand, you don't have to say more. Take care of your injuries. Marlan waved his hand and walked out of the room.

"Marlan......" Thea followed her worriedly. If this matter is reported, will you be fine? ”

"It's okay, what can it do?" Marlan smiled nonchalantly, "It's a big deal to take command of my troops and demote me." I don't care, I just need to be able to fight, fight the undead. They always want people to fight. ”

Marlan stopped under the window of the hallway, and she looked out, her eyes narrowed slightly as the harsh sunlight shone on her. "By the way, did you see the assassin who attacked you?"

"It's an orc." Xia said simply, she didn't hesitate at all, for fear that Marlan, who was observing the subtleties, would see a little flaw.

"Sure enough, those goddamn green-skinned monsters! Really, Maxwell was crazy to go to the Great Chief of the United Tribes to ask for help. Look, the help hasn't arrived, the trouble has come first. I've always felt like the Plaguelands are about to take on a new form, and I don't know...... Whether it's good or bad. ”

"Marlan, what are you worried about?" Shia was a little uneasy, in fact Marlan's mood had been unstable since Darien's disappearance. Although she didn't see anything on the surface, she was still as positive and enterprising as ever, as if Darion had never left any trace in her mind. But Thea could feel the madness that was suppressed in her heart.

"The warriors who rush out of the blood array will have some instinctive feelings, just like animals will behave abnormally before an earthquake," Marlan retracted his gaze from the window and continued to walk forward. "But it's nothing, I knew my fate from the time I joined the Scarlet Crusade. What better ending for a warrior than to die on the battlefield? Horse Leather Shroud ...... Hehe. ”

Marlan's low laughter echoed through the empty hallways.

For a moment, Shia shook her mind, as if she heard a voice from the future. Looking at Marlan's back, such uneasiness reached its climax.

"Marlan," she said, taking Marlan's arm for the first time. "It's going to be fine."

Marlan froze for a moment, then giggled. It must be said that Marlan is actually a beautiful woman, but the duties of the commander make her appear stern and indifferent and ignore her beauty. At this moment, she laughed so happily, like a red plum blooming in winter, it was so beautiful that people were intoxicated.

"Xia, you're so cute! The Tears of Arthas are not for you at all, and it will be when I return from the Hand of Tyre and bring you the lilies planted by Demytia himself, and that one will be worthy of you. Marlan kissed her mischievously on the cheek, and looking at Thea's stunned sculpture-like expression, she smirked again, clutching her stomach with laughter.

"Alright, let's take care of something first, bye-bye." Marlan easily withdrew her hand from the still sluggish Xia Ya's hand, and pinched Xia Ya's baby-fat apple cheeks. Looking at the stunned Thea, she felt that the bad mood was suddenly swept away.

"Herald! Heralds! Lead my horse! When Marlan walked out of the doorway, he had regained his usual indifference and began to methodically organize his men to search for the Courier's lost horses and orc assassins.

Soon her lieutenant brought her mount for her. Marlan got on his horse and waved to Thea at the door. "I've got to go to the hands of Tyr. See you later. The sun shone on her blood-colored armor, and the glittering light seemed to gild her with a golden rim of light. Her heroic eyebrows and eyes softened slightly in the sunlight, perfectly like a goddess of war coming out of a painting.

Perfect......

Xia stood at the door, staring blankly at such Marlan, reaching out to touch her face, the place where Marlan kissed and pinched seemed to be hot, but she knew in her heart that it was all false. What to do? She thought to herself.

Does the appearance of Luo Jiali mean that North and Leo are also fine? Are they still somewhere in the Plaguelands?

If they had met with Marlan, if nothing else, Marlan would have killed North. Because North is a forsaken, in the eyes of the Scarlet Crusaders, they are all undead and must be erased.

And she is also a member of the Forsaken.

Once again, Thea felt hopeless and helpless in her heart.

O Light, why did she come back into this world in this cursed form?

She forced a smile and waved at Marlan. "Have a safe journey."

Marlan put on her mask, gave her a final nod, then turned his horse's head and galloped out at a rapid pace.

"May the Light bless you!" Thea prayed silently in her heart.
