After a long period of excitement, the ceremony ended. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The soldiers brought over a large table, on which was a large map of Lordaeron, clearly marked with the Crusader strongholds in the Tirisfard glades, the areas infested by the Scourge of the undead, and the areas occupied by the Forsaken.
"Earlier this year, King Terenus was killed by his son Arthas, and the leaders of our Order, Uther the Lightbringer, and Deputy Master Garavender Doom met Arthas in Andorhar while escorting the King's ashes, and both of them were killed, while a large number of our brothers were also killed by Arthas."
"And several subordinate detachments of our Knights, the Righteous Guard led by Margros the Guardian, the Halo of Light led by the Life Messenger Harlack, and the Extreme Force led by the "Orc Slayer" Dagran, they stuck to the ruins of Lordaeron, forming a solid barrier against the undead of the Scourge and covering the evacuation of Lordaeron's refugees. Their noble deeds redeemed a large number of civilians, and in the end they fell under the butcher's knife of Arthas. Let us observe a moment of silence for these heroes. ā
The High Lord Mograini was the first to bow his head, and the paladins around him bowed their heads in silence for their fallen brothers.
Ethan Lion continued.
"Among them, Generalissimo Garissus leads the main army of Lordaeron, in an attempt to unite with the undead who have the consciousness to overthrow Arthas's remaining undead army in Lordaeron. As a result, the undead forces of Arthas failed and withdrew from Lendane. Our human army was liquidated by the free undead and their leader Sylvanas, and Lordaeron was eventually overrun by the free undead who claimed to be the Forsaken, and our army was also dealt a major blow, and now the remaining military power of the entire Lordaeron is only us. ā
The paladins present were silent, this year is probably the darkest year in the history of Lordaeron, the country has fallen, justice is about to die, and the undead are raging without hope. Many of them had their family members killed at the hands of the dead, and they were heartbroken.
"What else are we talking about here? Isn't the answer unclear to me? It's all Alsace! We should go find Alsace first. Bridget Abydis stood in front of her father, looking at the map on the huge table, and she said with some dissatisfaction.
Locke stood in the corner of the large table, observing the expressions of the people around him. The Grand Lord, Mograini, clearly disapproving of it, shook his head and looked at the map on the table. Ethan Lien and Duane stood together, looking at the map in silence.
"If we leave the undead in Tirisfarin alone, then we will have more and more enemies, and it's not just a matter of numbers," Farbanks said. We should put Alsace aside for a moment and purge the undead of the provinces in the Tirisfarda glades. ā
The Grand Crusader, Grand Commander Dassault Khan lay his hands on the table, and he said slowly. "Whether Alsace lives or dies, the plague will continue to spread, and now the northern provinces are in chaos and have become hotbeds of plague."
Behind him was a female priest in a red priest's robe, and Locke looked at her twice, she suddenly looked up at Locke, and then smiled at him.
Could it be her? Locke thought to himself.
By the side of the Great Crusader, there is a crusader oracle Demitina, she is a person with the ability to foresee, many of the victories of the Scarlet Crusaders in the Eastern Plague Land relied on her foreknowledge, as for why she has such a powerful ability, and can be easily killed by adventurers, Locke understands that it may be betrayed by Dassault Khan, who is occupied by the demon Banazar, so he died on the way to Stratholme.
I was impressed by her because she was known as one of the four beauties of the Scarlet Crusader, on the other hand, she was in the game at the time, she traveled all the year round on the road from the Hand of Tyr to Stratholme, she led a group of Scarlet elites, and it just so happened that the task was to kill her, she would add blood and resurrect, and the elites around her could fight, and she was tortured by her bodyguards back then.
Locke looked at her and muttered in his heart, would she, known as the oracle, see that her soul was not of this world?
Locke smiled at her, then hurriedly lowered his head and looked at the large map on the table.
Grand Crusader Dassault Khan looked straight at the place marked Stratholme and Andohar on the map and said, "Cities ravaged by natural disasters are used as petri dishes for plague by the undead spirits, and Stratholme and Andohar are the two cities that have suffered the most. We should focus on these two places. ā
Dassault Khan pointed to the map, marking the places of Stratholme and Andohar.
Bridget Abydis was excited, her eyebrows raised high, and her eyes wide open as she stared at Dassault Khan and shouted.
"Do you want to let Alsace get away with it? Net nonsense! Is that the end of Terenus's death? And Uther! Did you forget so quickly? ā
The man behind him, who looked like him, grabbed her by the shoulders and pulled her into his arms, stopping her from continuing to speak.
"I'm sorry, but my daughter is a little too headstrong... Grand Commander, you must forgive him. ā
Hearing this, Locke hurriedly looked up at the man, he was Abydis? Bridget's father?
In his arms, Bridget pouted angrily, his eyes fixed on the map and said nothing. Angry at what the Grand Commander just said.
Ethan Lion snorted twice, enlivening up a slightly awkward atmosphere, and then he looked at Bridget and said.
"Commander Dasuo Khan is right, my boy, we must deal with the primary threat first. Solve the problem of the plague first. ā
Soon Duane agreed. "I agree with the commander that we should start suppressing the spread of the undead."
Bridget was even more upset, and she walked out of the church where the military situation was being discussed.
ā... Commander, please forgive my daughter, she is so willful, blame me for doting on her too much. On the side, General Abydis explained awkwardly to the Grand Commander Dassault Khan.
"Abidis, I know this very well, because I also have two sons." High Lord Mograini comforted him with a smile.
Dassault Khan smiled and signaled nothing.
"Now these people here are the only remaining knights after the silver?" High Lord Mograini asked Grand Commander Dassault Khan.
"As far as I know so far, I think so. Many of our knights were killed in battle, at the hands of Arthas, including Ursar and Galavender. Grand Commander Dassault Khan said with a dull face. And now that plague and death have been raging on our land, the Scourge of the Undead has not stood still, they have been advancing, and our strongholds in the Tirisfard Glades are becoming more and more difficult to rely on. ā
"Don't worry, Commander!" High Lord Mograine waved the weapon in his hand and said, "When I return from Ironforge, this weapon to destroy the undead has already been made. This weapon! It's called Ember Bringer! Wherever the sword light passes, all the undead will be turned to ashes! It is an undeniable fact that natural disasters have taken too much from us, but now.."
High Lord Mograini turned to look at the paladins in the room and said. ā... It's time for us to get everything back. ā
The Ash Messenger in the hands of the Great Lord suddenly emitted a dazzling light, and endless holy light shone from it, illuminating everyone.
Locke looked at the ash messenger in the hands of the great lord, and excitedly followed the other paladins and cheered, this is a god-like weapon.
In the game, which paladin and all the warriors who wouldn't want to have it?
When Locke first played Warcraft, it was already the end of the 60s, and he didn't catch up with the desert NAXX, and now this weapon has become a swan song, although the later million lord has a hand, but no one can deny that the ash messenger in the hands of the big lord Mograini is genuine...
Locke stared enviously for a long time.
"So now! Paladins! Let's all go and gather our own soldiers, and let's make a break with the undead in our back garden. ā
When the meeting was over, the knights of the Silver Hand were gone, and Locke was left alone.
"Son, I'm sorry, I am very sorry to learn about your father, Harvey." The Grand Crusade, Grand Commander Dassault Khan, walked up to Locke and patted him on the shoulder.
"Old Harvey is also my closest brother, child, here you can treat us all as your elders, you can treat us all as your relatives." The Grand General Abydis also walked over and stroked Locke's hair. "You're still a child, like Bridget, and you shouldn't have to bear these pains."
Locke's heart was a little surging, his throat was a little choked, and he tried to blink his eyes, not wanting to let his tears flow. Maybe you were touched by them, right? They are not like cold NPCs in the game, but a living character who cares about themselves and feels the feeling of being noticed like they have never felt before.
"Thank you! Thank you, uncles. Locke still didn't hold back, he took off the plate armor gloves on his hands, and touched his tears.
"Don't cry! Locke, you're like a woman. Ethanlien came up and rubbed his hair vigorously, making his short hair like a chicken coop.
"Hey! There are women here, so be careful when you speak. Bridget stood aside, staring at Ethanlyon with unkind eyes, not giving him the slightest face.
Ethan Lion raised his hands to signal his surrender, and a good-natured smile came from all around, and Bridget pouted and looked at Locke.
"The next battle may be very dangerous, and any of us can die on the battlefield at any time, so Locke, you and Renault, and Bridget, you stay in the abbey." General Abidis looked at Locke and said.
"Nope! Uncle Abydis, I underestimate my strength too much. Locke wiped his tears and put on his gloves, he raised his hands aloft, and a powerful light appeared in his hands, shining in the cathedral.
"Oh! Unbelievable. General Abidis watched dumbfounded.
"Unbelievable, right?! Abidis, Mograine and I have known for a long time the power of the Light in this child, and he is the patron of the Light! Fairbanks said with a smile on the side.
The Grand Crusade, Grand Commander Dassault Khan also looked at all this in surprise, his eyes widened, his snow-white eyebrows jumped, and he turned his head to look at Ethanlien, the Grand Inspector of Lordaeron by far and the highest-ranking priest, who nodded at him proudly.
"So be it." Grand Crusader Dasuo Khan pondered for a moment and said, "Locke, you stay with Mograini and be his aide-de-camp, Renault stays with me as my aide-de-camp, and as for Bridget." ā
The Grand Crusader Dassault Khan looked at the Great General Abydis. "I'm still with you, Abydis."
General Abydis nodded.
