The remaining ghouls and zombies are still under the command, but under the "indiscriminate bombardment" of these "NPCs" who are too strong to have friends, and with the efforts of those 30 paladins, they have successfully turned the hundreds of undead who swarmed into ashes.

At this time, everyone had the time to take a short break and clean up the battlefield.

From the huge abomination that had been burned to ashes, Tirio turned out something so broken that it was already unrecognizable, which made Edlan sigh, this warrior is really a black hand, and he didn't even touch a piece of equipment after fighting the boss?

But Tirio threw over a pair of leather gloves and interrupted Adelan's thoughts, "Hey, Adelan, purify this, your little retinue will be of use." ”

Edlan grabbed it, and sure enough, it was full of evil aura, and then he injected the Holy Energy to use purification, and the leather gloves from the inside out, like "scraping", the Holy Energy purified those enchantments full of darkness and evil inch by inch.

"It's yours, Vanessa. ”

After receiving the pair of leather gloves from Adelan's hand, Vanessa's expression was a little complicated, such equipment was obviously enchanted, and it was definitely a high-end product for her, even if Adelan gave it to any paladin present, although those paladins were wearing plate armor, but in this moment when enchanted equipment was very scarce, who would want to say "no" to such a good thing?

After all, the Paladin is the king of the mash-up of cloth lock plates.

Vanessa Nunu mouthed, and then glanced at Edlan, who was expecting what she had to say, she suddenly felt a little funny, and then she snorted softly, turned around lightly, and thanked Tirio with a smile, "Thank you, Lafayette." ”

Before Adelan was depressed, Gianna walked over, "I found this pair of heavy bracers on that warlock, and they also have a heavy dark aura, I think you should be able to handle it, okay?"

Gianna released the pair of bracers in the storage ring, and the black gas visible to the naked eye wrapped around it, as for the warlock's storage ring, Gianna still recovered it, after all, the mage didn't want to share this "privilege" that was only for them at the moment.

"That's really ...... Dark enough. Edlan concentrated and bombarded those black gases with holy light, as if Alessandros took out the mysterious crystal, and a group of silver hand bosses bombarded the crystal with holy light on the crystal that emitted dark energy, and then they realized that light and darkness can be exchanged with each other.

But this was no secret to Edlan the Traveler, so he used the huge holy energy in his body to easily complete the purification of a piece of equipment.

At this time, after analyzing the equipment from the "dropped" equipment, Edlan was sure that the two "bosses" that were killed just now must be "Meat Hook" and "Shahram the Blood Shaper", the former dropped the Leather Armor's Demonic Gauntlet, while the latter dropped the Plate Armor's Bracer of the Dark Will.

These two "bosses" are the bosses in the Purification of Stratholm dungeon in the game, which is also in line with this point in time......

While this pair of bracers is suitable for paladins, it doesn't mean much to Edlan, as he feels that they are supposed to increase the user's holy energy, not spell power, so he doesn't use them. In the same way, a soldier does not need "intelligence", so the greatest credit for being present is Marlan, who has been silently commanding the battle on the front line.

"This pair of bracers is for you. ”

Edlan gave it generously, and Marlan accepted it without pretentiousness. As we all know, in the turbulent times of the country, being able to have better equipment means that you can have a higher safety factor, and you can protect yourself as much as possible and serve the country.

"Thank you for your generosity, Knight Edran, and please give it a name? ”

Marlan's voice is beautiful, heroic and soft, and there is a magic that people can't refuse.

"Alright, let's call it the Bracer of the Light Will. Edlan's face was not red, his heart was not beating, so he used the original name, changed two words, and used it.

"What a good name. Marlan returned to his team satisfied.

Seeing Vanessa beside him as if she was stroking some kind of baby, Adelane couldn't put down the gloves he had just put on, and he smiled and asked, "Why don't I name your leather gloves too?"

"Whatever you want. ”

"Then it's called a pure handguard, how about it?"

"It's not good at all. ”

"Uh......"

"Alright, kid, I think we've rested long enough, it's time to move on. Tirio extinguished his pipe and tucked it into his belt.

This was the first time Adeline had seen Tirio smoke.

Spotting Adelan's eyes, Tirio smiled self-deprecatingly, "Isn't it strange? After you've seen too much life and death, you'll feel how a pinch of tobacco can soothe you after a battle...... Let's go, we still have work to do. Tirio's tone was full of helplessness, because he saw the group of undead just now, I am afraid that the residents of this neighborhood were converted on the spot, which made him very sad, the number of 500 people estimated by Edlan before is probably a conservative estimate, according to the current situation that there is not a single survivor in this block, he has no illusions.

Edlan nodded, and he beckoned Marlan over, "Let's do it together, it's already ...... There are no more living people. ”

The team of 40 people continued on the road again, except for the lack of living people on the road, everything was normal, only some wandering undead were there, which was not a threat to Edlan and his party at all, but when they arrived at the gate of the city hall, they found that the house that was originally quite atmospheric was already a charred black ruins.

Someone destroyed the evidence!

But what about that? Edlan could only sigh and continue to let the team move forward.

Soon, the next block of intersections appeared in front of them, on the other side of an iron fence gate set up for zoning, and Edlan could clearly see that there were many people wandering uneasily, while some fainted on the side of the road and no one cared.

"Look! that's the Knights of the Silver Hand, and the kingdom has sent someone to save us!"

I don't know whose shouts from the crowd attracted the attention of everyone over there, and then, those people swarmed towards this small doorway like crazy, shouting something and crying with joy, which made all the paladins present feel sad and unbearable......

It was not until this moment that Adlane deeply realized what it was like for Alsace to enter the city as the crown prince at that time, when he was faced with the help and expectations of his people, and he could only swing the butcher's knife.

It is an unparalleled pain and despair.

"Shield—" Edlan choked up and shouted!

Several sturdy paladins stepped forward at once, bringing their shields close to Edlan's, completely blocking the passage through the narrow doorway.

And those civilians who had seen hope in a panic rushed towards these paladins who had come to "save" them, and found that the other party had erected a ...... with shields Although the other side has not yet shown its weapons, there must be something wrong with this hostile approach.

"Lord Knight, I'm feeling tired, come and help me. ”

"And I, and me, Lord Knight, I feel very sick in my stomach, like there are bugs in it......"

"Lord Knight, your joke is not so funny, this, what is the misunderstanding, why do you want to separate us?"

The civilians who poured in front of the shield array were shouting, and Edlan was trying to discern what they were saying. And at this time, even if Edlan found out that among these civilians there were people who had not yet been deeply infected and could be healed by the Holy Light, he would not dare to speak rashly, let alone use spells to heal them.

Because this is the time when human nature is tested. If he saves someone, and then someone else rushes to save them, but someone tells them that you are no longer saved, that person is the only survivor...... If such a scene had happened, I don't know what terrible things would have happened.

In the back of the pack, a paladin, whose kindness made him unable to endure the cries of the suffering civilians any longer, found that at the front of the group, there was a person who was not deeply infected, so in order not to suffer the torture of conscience, he used the healing technique and the holy light technique on that person.

"Oh, this, this is amazing!" the civilian jumped up excitedly, shouting incessantly, "I'm cured!"

Then, he was quickly pulled into the shield by a paladin, and told him, "Go, go, Prince Arthas is waiting outside the back door." ”

That person is a sloppy miner on weekdays, except for drinking, he has no other hobbies, I didn't expect him to be cured, which makes the hearts of those civilians who claim to be more advanced than him more lively, and the excited shouts of the miner undoubtedly seem to detonate the entire civilian team, they are even more crazy to crowd towards the shield array, but the paladins under the blessing of Edlan's buff state are all unmoved, but this is painful for those civilians who are in close contact with these big iron blocks at the front, they are squeezed and cry bitterly。

"Weapon—" Edlan continued to shout at the top of his voice, his eyes red, and then immediately set up his fiery sword of Tib, who was very good-looking, and the fiery red sword light instantly made the civilians who were still crowded retreat and silence.

While the civilians were feeling overwhelmed by their own armies raising their weapons against them, the other paladins also drew their weapons one by one, including war hammers and swords, and the bright weapons made the civilians fall from chaos into panic.

Taking advantage of this relatively quiet opportunity, Edran shouted: "The only people who can pass through here are the ones we let go, because they are still saved, and we won't let them go, please hurry up to the last bit of your time when you are still human...... Spend more time with your family. ”

"You can't do that!"

"Yes, you're murdering! I'm going to sue you!"

"Where's the sheriff? Go get the guards and arrest these villains who pretend to be paladins!"

The crowd began to chaos again, and some people boldly charged the shield array, although these paladins were still standing, but Edlan knew that whether it was his own people or those civilians, all eyes were on him, and he had to make a choice.

Edlan slowly opened his eyes, and the holy energy in his body re-invigorated, which made the light emanating from his body make everyone feel as if it had been blessed under the crown of Alonthos Fao, but those who had such a scene shouted "Shock shield, die!"

This made everyone unbelievable and unbelievable. But for those at the front, they were visibly pushed back by a thick "wall" of holy light, leaving a distance of about 10 yards. The holy light was like a wall, like a brilliant crystal wall, separating the two groups of people, and no one could get any closer.

This is usually one of the Paladins who specialize in the Guardian that requires a huge amount of Holy Energy, the Holy Light Shield. At this point in time, the paladins have not yet developed, this is a spell of the priest's mantra and barrier, summoning a barrier to protect companions within a certain range, but Edlan continues to steal and improve, and the paladins have not yet developed the shield of holy light, this thick shield of holy light concentrates all the protection on the front, so that the allies behind him can be well protected.

In this case, however, the Wall of Light, which represents hope and protection, draws a sad dividing line.

After a short silence and pause, many people in the crowd that were still boiling behind had no idea what was going on in front of them, and they were still crowding, which caused the people in front to have to rush forward again.

At this time, the Holy Light Shield that had been maintained for more than ten seconds also ended, and Edlan looked at the civilians with hope, tears, and words such as "I don't want to die" and "Help me", looking at his long sword that shimmered with fiery light, and his face was full of horror and was pushed over by the crowded force......

"Ahh

The blade entered the body, but this time Edlan's hand did not move, just watched as the desperate man was pushed by the survival power of the crowd behind him and crashed into Tib's blazing sword, Edlan found that the position was not quite right, and in order to end his pain as soon as possible, the offensive holy energy poured into his body, shattering the man's heart......

"May your soul rest in peace...... It's a test of humanity......"

The same thing happens everywhere in front of this shield array, those who are a little more lucky, who are squeezed over and hit the paladin with a one-handed hammer, will not be killed by the blade at once, but they will soon be "squeezed" by those behind them who still want to "survive" and be suffocated and collapsed, and finally they may be trampled to death......

Killing the enemy, killing the monsters that have been transformed into undead, Adelan has no resistance, but these people who have been deeply infected, but have not been transformed into undead for the time being, after being confirmed that they are no longer saved, they don't want to believe it, or they are behind, they don't hear it at all, they just blindly follow and rush over...... They either wanted to justify something or clashed with the rescuers, the former was fine, while some of the latter felt that their survival was hopeless, and even wanted the paladins to be infected......

But such an end is usually an organized strangulation in front of this strong shield line......

Eventually, after a few minutes of confusion and crowding, when everyone finally figured out that the paladins were not here to save them, but to "slaughter" them, the crowd broke up and they fled in all directions, only to find similar paladins blocking the passages through the doorways of each city......

Despair inevitably came.

Many people immediately became very dazed, they didn't know what would happen to them, they just felt that their health was getting worse and worse, and then they simply didn't even have the strength to stand, and one by one they wept, slurred and said something, or cursed something.

And at this time, Edlan, who had resumed the queue of the squad, did not choose to take the initiative to attack these poor people who were about to turn into zombies, and they didn't know whether it was ridiculous pity or they couldn't bear to attack such poor people again, except for those paladins who were not very good enough to stay at the door hole to continue to defend, the paladins brought out by Adelan had more hatred in pity, which was no less than the hatred of destruction and death brought by the orcs back then!

"Remember today's shame, this is the disaster brought to us by those dark villains, it is a powerful demon from other worlds, who try in vain to destroy our country with evil necromancy, destroy our fighting spirit, and even want to enslave our people......! Stratholme is a pain for all of us, but I hope that this pain will be food for your growth, and that one day in the future, we will slaughter all the demons with our own hands and put an end to this tragedy. ”

At the intersection of the word "human" in this block, Adran looked at the chaotic, crazy and helpless civilians in front of him, and he said something that was not very nice and not very inspiring, and then, he found that he was very close to his destination, and the Dreadlord was there, and he didn't want to waste any more time, so he ordered: "Marlan, you take people to find the supply box and collect some holy water, the more the better, we will use it in the future." ”

"Good. ”

Edlan's team turned into an elite squad of 4 again, and he took one last look at the chaotic streets, where there were still living people, begging a passing paladin to give him a good time when he was still human, so that he could die as a human and not become the kind of living dead who would eat his family!

The paladin, almost with tears in his eyes, killed the other man without destroying the body as much as possible, fulfilling the civilian's "last wish" and using holy energy to burn it to ashes, no longer allowing the dark necromantic magic to pull their corpses back up.

There are many such things, even if Edlan and his party have encountered a few of them, but the one that hit him the most is now......

A mother weakly holds her young child, and although the mother has begun to become undead, she is still begging Adlane to give her a dignified death, and she also wants to entrust the child to the good paladin.

At first, in order to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, the mother knelt down from a distance after seeing Edlan and his party clenching their weapons, holding the basket in one hand and crawling over on the ground with the other, "I have no ill intentions......! Need a hand...... Dear knight, it doesn't matter how I am, but ...... Please save my ...... Child. ”

Met the expectant look of the mother, Adlane looked at the tightly wrapped little life in the basket, he paused for a moment, and then squeezed out some smiles at the mother, although the smile was ugly......

At this time, Edlan no longer had the strength to grieve, to sympathize, to weep, and to think about what kind of mood Arthas was in when he slaughtered the city, he silently stabbed the long sword into the chest of the mother who had been determined to resist the undead until a second, and his face was full of satisfaction after the child's salvation, and before the ugly zombie's face appeared, he injected and burned the holy energy......

When Edlan's gaze returned to the tightly wrapped little life in the basket, he had expected that his misjudgment would collapse instantly.

"No, kid, let me come, you've done enough. Tirio had already seen that the baby was hopeless, and after he spoke out to stop Edlan, who was getting more and more mentally wrong, he walked over silently, and under the unbearable gaze of the two ladies, the two-handed sword in his hand picked up the tightly wrapped cloth, and finally gently cut a bloody mark on the neck of the sleeping baby, who had been severely infected with the plague......

The Adelan Holy Power swelled and burned the filth and life of the earth......

Many paladins are waving their weapons with tears in their eyes, and their helplessness and sorrow may not be able to be understood, and the people they want to protect have become the souls of their own men, this feeling is really bad......

Adelan felt very bad, he sat down against the wall of the building next to him and covered his face, he felt that he had traveled for so long and done so many things, but he couldn't shake even one percent of the "history", the tragedy that should have happened still happened, in addition to rewriting the fate of a few people, he didn't think that he could do anything now.

At never before had Edlan felt so desperate for power, the power so strong that it could destroy all evil, and this helplessness and despair seemed to make him hear a divine call, or a whisper, that had been persuading him, "Come to Northrend, where you can get the power to save the world......

Moved by this "divine call", Adelan looked around in confusion, Tirio, Gianna and even the cold-faced Vanessa looked at him with worried eyes, they surrounded him, their mouths opened and closed as if they were saying something, but Adelan felt that he could not listen to anything except the "divine call......

Not far away, a black bat hangs upside down under the eaves of a building, but if you look closely, you can see that the bat is very humane and has a smug smile......
