Chapter 288: Everything is ready!
Suddenly hearing Demytia's request, Locke's heart chuckled. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info Is the Crusader about to take the first step to begin the degeneration?
Demithia didn't notice Locke, who looked a little unusual, and she said to herself, "I was opposed to the military plan to attack Stratholme from the beginning. I also think that this is not in line with the development of our crusaders, but there is no way, no one can persuade the big commander to decide what he decides. ”
"This paladin, who is nearly 50 years old, has a stubbornness that we don't understand!" Demitea shook her head, the bangs on her forehead blocking her eyes, and she stroked her bangs and continued, "Even if I told him the foreknowledge of this expedition, he still insisted on going to that city. ”
"He wanted to pick up what the Silver Hand had left there." Locke also sighed, he really understood now, some people really value honor more than life! "In my opinion, glory is his life. He will spare his life for the sake of glory. ”
"That's why I want to help him through you to avoid this. Either way, you are paladins, you are the most devout warriors of the Light, and even if the undead besiege you, you will be able to hold out until help comes. ”
"The Light is your strongest backing." Demitea looked at Locke encouragingly.
Locke smiled bitterly in his heart, this time the enemy is not just the undead, the big boss Dreaddemon is waiting there......
"Even if you hadn't told me, I'd have helped the Grand Commander." Locke said with a straight expression, "We are brothers and sisters in the Silver Hand, and it is our duty to help our comrades-in-arms and brothers!" ”
Definitely, I'll try to stop it!
The brief exchange was over, and Locke rode his borrowed war horse all the way through several checkpoints to the outer defense line where he had originally borrowed his war horse.
Locke turned over and dismounted, and several soldiers hurriedly surrounded him.
"Sir! Don't you need a war horse? A soldier took the reins of his horse from Locke's hand and looked at him with some surprise.
"No, thank you for me, Captain Korral." Locke nodded, he smiled and said, "I have better means of transportation, and for some other reason, they can't be visible to everyone." ”
"Aren't you going to meet with our captain?" The soldier pointed to the tent and said, "The captain is inside!" ”
"No, my matter is urgent."
"Alright then, sir! May the Light be with you! The soldier gave a few words of blessing and left.
"Open the barricades." Locke instructed the other soldiers, who removed the wooden barricades that stood in the way.
"Have a nice trip! Sir! The soldiers saluted Locke, who smiled at them, returned a salute and turned towards where Chromie was.
Captain Curral, who was in the defensive line, stood outside the open tent, looking at Locke in the distance with complicated eyes.
"Aren't you going to see off our young leader?" Sergeant Nina asked behind him, "He's our leader!" Maybe one day he thinks of you, and you'll make the cut. ”
"Humph!"
Nina responded with a cold snort from Captain Curral.
"I've applied to the top to be transferred off the front line, and I want to go to Eva." The voice of the woman behind him surprised Captain Curral, who turned to look at Nina in surprise.
"Without my approval, the above will not agree!"
"So-called," Nina said, dropping the pen and paper in her hand, moving her hands and feet, "I have plans to retire anyway." ”
"Are you crazy?!" Captain Curral's face flushed, and he looked at Nina fiercely, "Do you know what it means to be a sergeant?" In times of peace, a sergeant is the highest rank of a soldier! Some people have been soldiers all their lives and are just sergeants! ”
"Rank is important to you, but not to me!" The girl sneered and stood up, "It just so happens that you don't like me dangling in front of you in this armor." ”
"As a brother-in-law, you didn't protect my sister well. As a commander, you have many of the problems of the old officers! Arrogance, arrogance! Wearing your old Lordaeron robes all day, do you consider the Crusaders to be your allegiance?! No matter how much you look down on the leader! That's your leader!! ”
Captain Curral was a little speechless for a moment, he didn't expect his wife's sister to say so much, straight to the point.
"The Governor was right that day, hatred is important, but the living are even more important! We can't spend our days in tears just because of the dead, but we need to live better! Only by living better, will you be more motivated to fight those monsters! ”
"So I decided to go to Eva, and now the whole Crusader says it's the only promised land we have in Lordaeron. If it were possible, I would continue to join the crusade there, as a soldier, and once again fight for Lordaeron! ”
Captain Curral looked at Nina with a calm face, and Nina looked at him not to be outdone.
After a while, Captain Curral was defeated, and he tilted his head to look at the tent beside him.
Captain Curral sighed inwardly, this girl was very much like his wife, and every time he faced her, Captain Curral had the illusion that his wife had been resurrected and appeared in front of him.
Unfortunately, he was the sister of his own wife, who had died at the hands of the plague.
This is one of the reasons why he does not approve of Nina joining the Crusaders, after all, this is his only remaining relative, even if she is now a sergeant.
Captain Curral walked around the girl who was staring at him stubbornly, and he went to his desk and sat down, picking up a pen and paper and writing quickly.
When he had finished writing, Captain Curral picked up the letter and blew it carefully, and after thoroughly drying the ink on it, he took out his seal and stamped it.
"Take it, give it to the commander-in-chief of the southern line, and he will pass it on to the Demitian prosecutor. Then you just wait for news of the transfer to Eva. Captain Curral looked at Nina calmly, handing over the envelope in his hand.
"From today onwards, you are no longer a soldier of the Southern Line."
Nina watched her brother-in-law's transformation in surprise and suddenly didn't know how to respond.

On the path leading to Talon County, a large human was followed by a small female gnome as they walked.
"Locke, I knew I should have transformed into a walk with you yesterday!" Chromie said with an aggrieved face, "I spent the night rough in a cave yesterday!" Do you know? It's been a long time since I've slept in a cave! ”
"Oh? Dragons don't sleep in caves? Where to sleep? Locke asked quizzably.
"Of course you sleep!" Chromie reacted with a spirit, and she pulled her face and said to Locke, "Hey! It's none of your business! Don't always try to talk to me, I'm not a fool! ”
Locke could only laugh instead of embarrassment.
The two chatted and soon came to the edge of the ruins of Talonshire.
Locke craned his neck and looked at the place where Pamela had sent him that day, and there was nothing.
"Now, give me the bag of materials on your belt." Chromie held out his small, white hand to Locke.
Locke took the bag of materials and handed it to Chromie. Chromie took out the contents one by one.
"The skull of Holgus, the sword of Marduk, the history of Talon County, the holy deed of Davi, the shield of Joseph Redpass, and the skulls of the soldiers who fought in that battle! Aha's it! Chromie jumped up with joy, she clapped her little hands and danced a dwarf dance with interest, twisting her ass and swinging her thighs on the ground...
"Uh-huh!" Locke snorted and sarcastically said, "Do I have to find an instrument to dance to your music?" ”
"Oh~ if there is one. I don't mind at all~" Chromie twisted his body in high spirits, which made Locke find it funny.
"Let's get down to business," Locke reminded her, "isn't this a very common thing for you?" ”
"No, no, no, what I enjoy is the process!" Chromie happily placed them on the ground, "These relics! Each piece has memories of the Scourge Legion's battles, and they were used in the plan to save Joseph Redpass! ”
"Now, I'm going to get to work!" Chromie tweaked the sleeve of his robe, "Well, I'm going to start repairing the Temporal Rift, don't worry..."
Perhaps it was Locke's frowning action, Chromie smiled and continued to explain, "You don't have to do anything this time, all you have to do is watch it with peace of mind!" ”
Locke let out a sigh of relief, and his heart was completely relieved. He found a stone and sat on it to see what the bronze dragon was going to do.
Chromie quickly stacked the relics on top of each other, her small hand covering some of them. Soon the mouth began to chant, and ancient incantations appeared on the desolate land.
The spell was unlike anything Locke had ever heard of from a mage, its stanzas were of varying lengths and unusual tongue-twists. Locke reckoned that it was dragon language, and the answer was obvious. Dragons are proud creatures that do not use the language of other races as their casting language.
With the appearance of the spell, strange elongated golden threads appeared in Chromie's palms. They were attached to the relics, twisting and twisting.
The relic began to glow, and golden light began to shine from various locations of the relic.
Chromie carefully placed these relics one by one into the previous magic bag.
Then she solemnly handed the magic bag to Locke.
"Now! Locke, you will take part in the battle of Talon County and save Joseph Redpass! Are you ready? ”
Chromie looked at Locke calmly, and his expression became unusually solemn.
Locke nodded, and he also said solemnly, "I've been looking forward to this day all along!" Able to rescue Pamela from this lonely and painful environment! Now, the Light has given me that opportunity! I won't let it down! ”
"I'm ready!"
Locke's heart was a little surging, every time he passed through the plague land in his previous life, he would go to the ruins of Talon County. Just to see this lonely ghost girl, who had never fantasized about being able to save her fate with his own hands and in truth, now! Here's your chance!
