First, apologize. () Something delayed the progress today. So today's pro doesn't have to be ordered. I'll stay up all night to get out.
After listening to Shia's report, Erigor was almost dumbfounded. But he immediately realized the seriousness of the situation, and without any hesitation, he hurriedly gave orders one after another, racing against time to gain the last bit of time to prepare for the battle.
"Ring the alarm bell immediately, order all teams to return to the team, and immediately prepare for battle!!"
After the herald left, Shia spoke: "Erigor, now the coalition forces have withdrawn. Only our Silver Dawn own strength remains, and I can have some Death Knights from the Spiritual Vision, and I am afraid that each of them has the strength of more than the seventh order, and it may be difficult for ordinary soldiers to compete with it. ”
Thea's words made Erigor's brow, which was already worried, tighten and tighten.
"It's going to be tougher than we thought. But we don't have any other way right now. I only hope that after the most recent period of recuperation, most of our soldiers should have recovered from the injuries sustained in the last battle. Moreover, thanks to the victory of the Thanak Samas, the soldiers are now in full swing. Otherwise, if an elite force like the Scourge Legion is caught off guard by such a sneak attack, I am afraid that it will really be disrupted. This time, thanks to the timely discovery of it. Shia. ”
"No, Erigor. That's not what I'm worried about. I also understand that no matter how elite the other side is, we must rise to the occasion. Shia didn't take Erigor's praise to heart. Felicia's warning came to her mind once again. "But there is one thing I have a question about - we have been attacked as soon as the Coalition army has left. Do you think it's a coincidence? ”
Xia's words made Erigor's brow furrow unconsciously furrowed. "What do you mean...... There are traitors? But now is not the time for us to pursue it. Repelling the Scourge attack first is the priority of the moment. The rest, let's talk about it later. ”
"Nope! Hear me out, Erigore. Xia was so anxious that the words in her mouth poured out like beans poured out from a bamboo tube. Although the coalition forces have withdrawn, we have been operating here for a long time in the Chapel of the Light's Wish. It can't be said to be like an iron bucket. But it's not going to be so easy to break. Otherwise, Kel'thugad would not have let us go until now. I'm not just worried about traitors. My biggest concern now is, whose hands do the Scourge think Kel'thugad's bone box is? ”
Sia's words made Eregor realize a question that he had not yet thought about.
Yes, if there are traitors, then there is no reason for the Scourge not to know that Kel'thugad's bone box has been taken away by the Union forces. So, what else is there in the Chapel of Light's Wish worthy of an army of Death Knights?
Just trying to give Silver Dawn a devastating blow as a warning to the forces that are against the Scourge Legion?
Well, even so, Erigor didn't believe that the Lich King would give up his most important lieutenant. Once the Alliance's armies left the Plaguelands with the Bone Crate. Then the chances of retrieving the bone box are very slim.
And if it's a sound that hits the west...... It doesn't matter if the Death Knights are targeting the Bone Box in the Alliance's hands or the Chapel of Blood Baptism. He had to go and inform Ferding of the news.
"You're right!" Erigor quickly picked up the point from Shia's words. "Lord Furding!! We have to send someone to remind them that the Cowling junction is not far from here. ”
"If they're lucky, maybe they'll be able to come back from behind and form a flanking attack. Then we will be much less stressed. Thea tried to think on the bright side.
A whole army of Death Knights...... And the weakest are all seventh-order powerhouses. Such a lineup...... Erigor couldn't have behaved as easily as the heartless Bruce. But now that he was the highest-ranking officer who stayed at Silver Dawn, he had to carry this burden.
Erigor forced himself to smile and echoed: "That's right, who says it's not!" We will win, as always!! ”
Thea nodded heavily, then watched Erigor's figure hurried out the door.
"No matter what happens here. I want you to stop using your powers. After Erigor left, Simon, who had been silent behind him like an invisible man, spoke quietly.
"Why?" Sia retorted with some confusion, "It's the time of the Silver Dawn Crisis. Why don't I help? ”
"I'll keep you safe. As for the life or death of others, it is someone else's business, and it has nothing to do with you, nor does it have anything to do with me. ”
There was a chilling coldness in Simon's words. Thea's hand clenched the corner of her clothes slightly. Crumpled the smooth robes into a crumpled ball. She lowered her head and said softly but stubbornly, "Please don't stop me!" I'd rather die now than my comrades-in-arms die one by one, while I myself sit behind and don't do anything. ”
Her answer made Simon look dissatisfied. "Do you want to knock you out right now?"
Sia knew that Simon was definitely not just a threat, but that he would do what he said. She bit her lip and said, word for word, "If you do that." I promise, I will never follow your advice to fix any more health. Unable to protect their comrades. I can't fight together when they're fighting bloodily, and for me, even if I survive, I'll just spend the rest of my days in guilt. I don't need that life. ”
As she said this, Thea raised her head and stared straight at Simon without flinching. The eyes of the two collided in the air, intertwining fierce sparks that did not give in to each other. In the end, it was still Saimen who lost.
"Well, if you insist on it......"
Before Shia could get happy, Simon continued: "But at least I have to be by your side with you, that's my bottom line." ”
"Okay." This time, Xia agreed in one bite.
She had also seen Simon's combat effectiveness, and if he was by her side, he would have some strength against the Scourge Legion. In this time of crisis, even if it is just a little more power is good.
The dust kicked up by the Death Knights' forces had reached the Silver Dawn Men visible to the naked eye.
After discovering that Silver Dawn's position was completely defensive, they all stopped.
The Death Knight, who was at the head of the group, raised his hands and began an evil ritual that I don't know if it was to boost morale or summon an army of the dead.
"Soldiers of the Scourge Legion, Death Knights of Ebon Fortress, minions of darkness, obey the call of the High Lord!"
"The blood of the dead stained the sky red! The Lich King is watching us, minions! Let your resurrection leave nothing but ashes and pain!! ”
As his hoarse and empty voice fell, a faint aura of ice blue was visible to the naked eye on the body of the Death Knight behind him.
More and more Death Knights raised their hands, praying into the void for the Lich King's evil power. And beneath their feet, under the purple glowing land, the resurrected dead burrowed out of the ground and staggered towards the silver dawn to attack.
"Now!! Minions!! Wake up!! Destroy them!! ”
The Death Knight at the head drew his weapon and slashed forward, lifting the reins of the skeleton steed and being the first to charge.
Led by him, the Death Knights drew their weapons and launched an attack on Silver Dawn's position.
"Why is your face a little bad?" Simon whispered in Thea's ear, "I said you must not force yourself. ”
"No, nothing." Thea replied absentmindedly. Although he only vaguely heard the words of the Death Knight who led him, Xia inexplicably felt that this voice was somewhat familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere before. It's just that the voice of the Death Knight is somewhat different from when he was alive. So for a moment Xia couldn't remember where she had heard this voice. And the Death Knight wears helmets almost all of them, so Thea is exactly what the knight looks like.
It's just that she was always a little uneasy in her heart, and although there was no evidence, she had a gut feeling that this Death Knight must be someone she once knew, just like Felicia.
And Felicia...... Will she be part of the Death Knights' ranks? Was it because she knew that the Death Knight would have plans to attack Silver Dawn sooner or later, so she warned her not to return?
If that's the case, it means that the odds of victory in Felicia's Scourge are very high.
Thinking about it like this, Xia Ya's face was naturally not good, and she couldn't say her thoughts at this time, because what she said at this time was inevitably suspected of shaking the morale of the army.
So she just waved the staff in her hand and added a power-up spell to the warriors within her reach.
"Catapult, put!!"
The Eregors went on the offensive and immediately responded to it. Although he also knew that a bulky attack like the catapult would not do much damage to the fast-moving dead riders, it could kill some of the low-level undead army summoned by them.
"Is it going to be a tough battle?" Sia heard Simon whispering softly in his ear, but his tone was still lighthearted, sounding unburdened.
"If you can, could you please help me a little bit as well?" Thea turned her head and pleaded in a low voice. (To be continued)
