"Two days ago, my daughter hosted a banquet at the royal estate. After the outbreak of the plague, we were blocked by the tide of corpses and lost contact. The evil spellcaster of the Cursed Sect deliberately sealed off the space there, preventing my royal mage from being able to rescue her by teleporting magic. The Scourge Gargoyle blocked the airspace, and in two days, I organized many offensives, but none of them succeeded...... I want to ask you to help me rescue my daughter. Gene Greymane pleaded.

Why Greymane would find him, Oryx was not very surprised.

Although the Holy Light Faith is flourishing and very popular in the Kingdom of Gilney, and even the people's devotion is not inferior to that of Lordaeron, the number of paladins in this country is very rare.

The main reason was that the isolationist Jean Greymane did not want to be loyal to the powerful in his own country and at the same time to the whole Union.

This has to talk about the position of the members of the Knights of the Silver Hand.

The Order is part of the All-Union and is an armed force organization formed before the Second War by the Archbishop of the Church of the Light, Alonthos Fao, who died a few years ago. At first, the members could be seen as priests who were proficient in martial arts, physically strong, and could wear heavy armor to kill enemies, but later, as the divine spell practitioners developed, they slowly developed sacred spells that were specifically suitable for the paladin's combat style, and only then did they have the true way of the paladin.

The members of the Knights come from all the members of the Alliance, and there is even dwarves. They owe allegiance first to their respective rulers, and then to the Order and the Alliance. In other words, if there is a conflict between the two, the orders of the respective kings should take precedence.

Of course, no king would deliberately get along with the Knights and deliberately put his own paladins in a dilemma.

For example, Gavinrad Doom, one of the five first paladins of humanity, is from the Kingdom of Stormwind and is the knight of the country. It was to obey the orders of King Varian Ureon, who had succeeded to the throne, before obeying the orders of the Silver Hand and the Alliance.

Such a paladin can be regarded as a "part-time job". By the way, Gavin Rad Doom is currently in the North, and after the Second War, he changed from "part-time" to "full-time".

Also "part-time" is Tirio Fortin, who was recently exiled. He was first the Lord of the Hearthvale in the Kingdom of Lordaeron, and then the founder of the Knights. He doesn't take on too many duties on weekdays, and usually stays in the territory to take care of his own affairs.

Like the head of the Knights, Uther, known as the Lightbringer, is a "full-time" paladin in the true sense. The Deputy Commander, Saidan Dasohan, can also be considered a "full-time" paladin due to the high overlap of his duties with those of the Order.

In the original historical massacre of Stratholme, Prince Arthas, as the "son of Terenus Minechr II, the supreme ruler of the Alliance", dismissed the head of the Uther Knights.

To get back to the point, a paladin with the Silver Hand, although he has never been caught in a dilemma because of the king's disobedience to the orders of the Knights, the latter has always taken a place of righteousness.

Gene Greyman's seldom of sending young people with potential to the Silver Hand for training is, in the final analysis, a sign of a reluctance to leave the country's talent drain – who said that the elbow is slowly turning out.

What's more, the Kingdom of Gilneth has long since withdrawn from the Alliance, and the king doesn't want to have anything to do with the Alliance organization.

As a result, there are very few paladins in Gilneth who are missing the most appropriate and powerful weapon against the Scourge Legion. In the face of low-level enemies such as the resurrected, as long as the paladin passes the level with strength, it is not a problem at all. This is difficult for a "warrior" of equal strength to do—of course, it refers to the kind of "warrior" who has developed his physical potential and embarked on the path of anger, not in the ordinary sense of warfare.

Oryx knew that Gene Greymane had just seen the battle on the stargazing platform, and felt the strength of the paladin, so he gave himself this difficult task.

"Okay, I'll do my best." Oryx took the matter to the letter.

This is Lordaeron's future ally, and it is still necessary to brush up on favor. The King of Alsace would approve of this, and even demanded that he be sure that he would complete the task perfectly.

"Then please, I'll find some people to help you......"

Grateful to Gene Greyman, he recruited an officer and asked him to gather a group of elite men to help Oryx save his precious daughter.

Back in the courtyard, Oryx asked Bridget to gather everyone and tell his colleagues about the mission to save Her Royal Highness Princess Gilneis, emphasizing the importance of the mission, and then set out on the road under the guidance of the officer.

They passed through the sewers of the royal city in all directions, bypassed the tide of corpses that covered the mountains, appeared directly a few kilometers away, and then mounted their war horses and galloped towards the west......

……

The royal estate, known as the Greymane.

Located on the western coast of Gilneys, it is built on a beautiful mountain overlooking the sea, and has long been used by the Greymans for banquets and feasts, and Gene Greymane occasionally goes there to relax.

However, this manor, which is more than 100 kilometers away from the royal city, is basically full of difficult mountain roads, and there are countless walking corpses blocking it. All the way through, even on a fast horse, it takes two to three days.

……

Three days later, Greymane Manor.

Dark clouds overhead, and the sea breeze howling.

There were corpses everywhere outside the manor, and it was impossible to tell which ones belonged to the royal guards and which ones belonged to the undead.

The observation deck with a panoramic view of the sea is filled with blood-stained picnic cloths, parasols full of holes, overturned Arathas chess boards and scattered chess pieces. Some huge red-eyed rats crawled over the corpses of the children of the nobles in their proper costumes, and from time to time gnawed down a piece of foul-smelling rotten flesh and feasted on it.

The manor's fence was covered with corpses, and the gate had been torn down. Hundreds of undead people crowded around the mansion, constantly slapping the doors and windows blocked by debris, and there were constantly unconscious "ho-ho" sounds in their throats.

In the mansion, a group of dirty aristocratic children trembled as they looked at the doors and windows that were about to break through, and they couldn't even hold the weapons in their hands steadily. They have been trapped here for three days, although they have no food and water, but they are also almost frightened, how can they take care of the aristocratic manners they have cultivated since childhood-there are aristocratic manners, and they are very brave, all of them are dead!

The older aristocratic youths and the guards of the various families, as well as the royal guards of Princess Tess, basically died at the hands of the undead. The only survivors were a dozen or so half-grown sons and half-grown girls.

Two girls of the same age, who looked to be about thirteen or fourteen years old, were calmly handing out muskets and ammunition to everyone, and carefully explaining how to load ammunition and fire.

One of the girls in a pleated dress said, "Don't be afraid, as soon as the undead come in, Rona will lead everyone into the secret passage." ”

Although the little face is full of dirt and the skirt is stained with blood, it can be seen that the girl is naturally beautiful and well-developed, and her leadership temperament is even more natural. Even after being in danger for several days, those eyes still flashed with an unconcealable aura.

"Your Royal Highness, what should you do?" The girl known as Lorna asked worriedly.

Compared with Her Royal Highness the Princess, who is tall and slender, and has inherited the queen's beautiful face and tall figure, she is shorter, although she is the same age, she is more like a child who has not yet grown, and she has developed a little later.

Tess dismantled the gunpowder used for hunting and sprinkled it in the hallway, drenching the flammable oil on it, and replied, "I'll be here to give you time, don't worry, I'll be here soon." ”

Click.

With that, she pulled the hammer so that the short fire in her hand, which she couldn't hold in either hand, was ready to fire.

Rhona was about to speak, when she suddenly heard a chaos outside, and there seemed to be a sharp sound of breaking the air, but it only lasted for a moment, and then everything fell silent.

Princess Tess and Rhona looked at each other, both frowning, and then looked at the gate of the mansion in unison.

Through the blood-stained glass window, a huge shadow could be seen in a flash, standing in front of the door.

Then......

Bang, bang, bang!

Slammed the door a few times.

Then I heard a loud bang, and a big hand with a bloody plate glove actually punched through the wooden board nailed to the door, and reached in and groped for it. After groping twice, he seemed to find the reason why the door could not be opened, so he used brute force and directly began to hammer the wooden board, and after a while, the wooden board was hammered into pieces, and before retracting it, he also overturned the wardrobe leaning on the door......

"Wait, don't shoot yet, and when it shows its head, hit it in the head!" Princess Tess's face tensed, and she raised the handcuff that was too big for her with a solemn expression, focusing on aiming, while the other hand raised the candle, ready to throw it into the corridor full of lamp oil and gunpowder, turning this place into a sea of fire, "Rhona, you quickly take everyone and escape. ”

"Your Royal Highness Princess, I don't ......"

The voice did not fall......

A tall "undead" wearing plate armor smashed the gate directly and walked in!

Bang!

Without hesitation, Princess Tess pulled the trigger, and the inflated gas sent a deadly projectile that accurately hit the head of the "undead".

But on the surface of the "undead" helmet, a layer of golden light appeared, completely blocking the bullet, but he tilted his head and did not receive any damage.

"So there's someone in there......" Then, the "undead" actually spoke.

Tess frowned, and Rhona, who was about to escape into the secret passage with someone, also stopped, and a happy color appeared on her face.

The tall "undead" knocked on his helmet, as if he was a little dizzy from the bullet just now, looked around, and asked as if knowingly, "May I ask which one is Princess Tess and which one is Miss Rhona Croré?" ”

"I'm Rhona Crowley." Rhona replied timidly.

Princess Tess pursed her lips, raised her little face, frowned slightly, and asked, "What's your name, did my father call you?" Why are you here so late? Don't hesitate to salute your princess! ”

The tall "undead" approached, knelt on one knee, and bowed his chin and said, "Salute you, Your Highness Princess, I have come to rescue you, but I am not your father's subordinate." I haven't introduced myself yet, my name is Oryx Rivendell. ”

As he spoke, he took off his helmet, revealing a handsome face with a smile that made people feel like a spring breeze.

"Ah, you're ...... Saint? Rhona's eyes widened.

Oryx replied with a smile, "Exactly below." Miss Rona, your father is looking for you in a hurry. ”

As he spoke, he couldn't help but glance at the two little girls in front of him a few more times...... The famous Gilneth Girls in later generations is only so young now. Diagram of the Avenue of the Heavens
