Chapter 563: The Choice of Life 1
The same route, the same environment, the same undead scourge. Once again, Yuri Jr. embarks on a patrol in the East Lordaeron region.
It's just that after letting go of the two soldiers, little Yuri will remember from time to time what his former mentor said to him.
"Yuri, the vacillation in your heart at this time actually comes from the ambiguity of your own position, and when you really understand the position you should be in, you will not waver anymore."
But after fighting on the front line for a long time, Yuri at this moment has his own opinion.
I'm sorry, mentor, but I don't think I can agree with you. You have your considerations, why don't I have my own opinions?
The reason why we were able to drive away the gnolls, kobolds, and other humanoids that once ravaged our land. That's because we're all human beings, and the way we think about life isn't their simple and barbaric killing. Because we will think more rationally, we will give life the right to choose, and we will respect every life.
This has nothing to do with the position, the killing of life is not a different position, you can do whatever you want.
Thinking of this, little Yuri shook his head secretly in his heart, but unfortunately there were not many people in the entire crusader who had such thoughts.
"Be careful! There are undead ahead! The soldier who was scouting the way ahead shouted and ran back.
Little Yuri came to his senses in an instant! He whispered a few times, and the light appeared from the palm of his hand. Then he waved his hand lightly, and threw the light at each soldier.
When the light descended on the soldiers around him, it turned into light and quickly sank into the bodies of each soldier. It seemed that they had been blessed by the Holy Light, and the soldiers' somewhat stiff bodies, which were dragged down by the equipment, instantly straightened a little. The hands holding the weapon are also more powerful!
"Get ready to fight! Crusader warriors! Captain Calane stood at the front of the squad with a shield, and he and the other two shielded warriors formed a rudimentary line of defense.
Behind this line of defense, three soldiers with longbows were taking feathered arrows out of their quivers and sticking them into the soft ground in front of them. To their left and right, two light gray pit bulls and a red-spotted earth dog were barking at each other with their tails erect.
Standing with little Yuri, the chaplain of the army, were two new recruits who had just joined. They trembled and hugged little Yuri tightly.
"Take it easy, recruit." Little Yuri said to the two nervous girls who were guarding him, "It's just a battle that will end soon, no, it's not even a fight." Just an appetizer. ”
As soon as little Yuri finished speaking, several ghouls appeared running from the jungle in the distance, and they made an incomprehensible whirlwind from their mouths and rushed towards them.
"Collapse! Collapse! Collapse! ”
When the distance was a little closer, the archers in the squad began to shoot.
Arrows are shot at the front of the ghoul's body, rarely hitting the ghoul's head, and some even shoot arrows. Compared to the archery skills of the elves, the archery skills of human soldiers are obviously much worse.
Captain Calane greeted the veterans left and right a few times, and the soldiers raised their half-shields, and little Yuri blessed them with holy light at the right time.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The ghouls didn't slow down, they slammed directly into the rudimentary line of defense, clutching at the shield with their twisted claws.
"Attack!!"
Captain Calane aimed his shield at the rushing ghoul and slammed it into it. The sheer force sent the agile ghoul flying upside down. Then he raised his shield and slammed the head of the ghoul attacking the soldier on his right in front of him!
Syllable!
Like a tomato being smashed, the plasma glued to the head of a small piece of broken bones was directly smashed by the huge force of the shield.
As soon as the ghoul's body went limp, he fell down in an instant.
Led by Captain Calan, the shield-wielding soldiers pushed forward and pushed the undead out in reverse.
"Wang! Woof! Woof! ”
With the barking of the hounds, the three fat hounds pounced from behind Captain Calan!
The only remaining ghouls who pounced on them were instantly knocked to the ground by the pit bulls, and the terrifying sound of the hound tearing at the flesh and bones resounded on the battlefield in an instant.
Karahn breathed a sigh of relief, and he turned his head to look at little Yuri behind him and laughed.
"Are you alright? Yuri. ”
"How so?" Little Yuri raised his hand, and in his hand a holy book was open, "I'm ready to purify them." ”
"Very well," Calane nodded, and said to the archers, "call your hounds back and let them live first, we have two new recruits to see the blood." ”
The hunters' whistles sounded, and the pit bulls that were biting the ghouls' corpses ran back in an instant.
"Go ahead, this is what you have to go through, wait until next time. You're going to be in front. Little Yuri smiled at the female recruits around him who were protecting him, "Don't worry, they are no longer mobile." ”
The two trembling recruits staggered to the battlefield in front.
The pungent and disgusting smell of blood, the bloody scene, the blood-stained weapons. All of this made the two new recruits feel extremely uncomfortable, and a wave of nausea and discomfort began to churn from their stomachs.
"Don't throw up yet, recruit." A veteran wiped the flesh from his shield and grinned, "It's never too late to vomit when you've killed the things on the ground." ”
"Slash at their necks, there's a weakness. Of course, if you don't feel disgusted, you can pierce their two holes with your sword..."
Little Yuri held the holy book in his hand, and he stood behind them with a smile and waited.
The two recruits stood tremblingly in front of their respective targets, and in the eyes of everyone, they closed their eyes and gritted their teeth to slash their one-handed swords into the ghoul's neck, but to their surprise, a sticky stream of blood suddenly spurted out of the ghoul's neck and sprayed all over their bodies.
The two men were stunned for a moment, then dropped their weapons like crazy, shouted and threw up in the open space beside them.
All the soldiers around laughed.
It's just a prank to welcome new recruits.....
Veterans know that there is a closed vein in the ghoul's neck. If you cut off their necks, blood will instantly spurt out of their veins several meters high.
And that's the ghoul's cleanest blood.
Ever since Lordaeron began fighting the undead, the soldiers were aware of the weaknesses of the undead creatures, and they often used this method to make fun of each other.
As for Ann's insecurity, at least in the past few years, there has been no record of recruits being infected with the plague because of this kind of prank.
"Hehe," said little Yuri, smiling as he walked up to the two recruits who were about to crawl on the ground, and he flipped through the holy book in his hand to find the page that recorded the cleaning technique.
While silently reciting the spell of holy light above, he let one hand keep turning on the page, and the bright light rose on the page.
Little Yuri waved at the two people on the ground, and the Holy Light Regiment was suspended in front of the two recruits, and the Holy Light slowly stretched and contracted to cover the recruits' body surface. Then, under the pious gaze of the surrounding soldiers, the holy light was like a golden dividing line, constantly driving the blood of the recruits from their armor, battle robes, and body surface to the ground.
Drops of blood ran down the edge of their armor and fell to the ground, seeping into the surface.
When the spell ended, the two recruits were no different from before, except for a little embarrassment.
Little Yuri slung the canon around his waist, and he spread his hands and smiled at the stunned recruits in front of him.
"This is the Light, the all-powerful Light."
"Alright, stop fooling Yuri." Calan interrupted little Yuri's fooling the two recruits, and he turned to everyone around him and said, "Pile them up, burn them, and we'll keep walking." ”
Time always flies slowly, and after only two days, little Yuri already feels as if he has spent a long month here.
He was starting to miss the Tirisfara glades, at least there was some green, not like it was all yellow and misty with plague.
But before little Yuri could think about it, the alarm came back from the front again.
"Well, damn the undead! Endless undead! Little Yuri scolded angrily and began to do what he had to do.
Once again, the short battle with the undead is over.
Looking at the messy battlefield, Captain Calan couldn't help but curse a few times. "Damn the scourge undead! When are we going to kill them all?!! ”
Unlike Captain Calan's anger, one of the veterans who fought with him on the front line cursed helplessly.
"Damn it! I'm done......"
Hearing the veteran's words, little Yuri immediately woke up, and he ran in front of the veteran in three steps and two steps!
There was an abnormal change in the forearm of the veteran's right hand ... The flesh there began to rot and blacken....
"What's going on here?!" Little Yuri asked in surprise, he looked at the somewhat decadent veteran in front of him and said eagerly, "How did your wound come from?!" ”
"Hey, I'm sorry." The veteran sighed helplessly, he shook his head and said with a gloomy face, "Yesterday, when we were fighting, I was accidentally crushed by a skeleton's bracer. It nails on its hammer, piercing my armor. I didn't think it would be like this, we all know that not every natural disaster will carry a plague. ”
The veteran shook his head helplessly, his face full of remorse.
"You !!" Little Yuri looked at the veteran's helpless face with some annoyance, he opened his mouth but didn't know what to say!
Captain Calane and the others immediately gathered around, and the veteran forced a few laughs at the unbearable gaze of the soldiers around him.
"I know, I'm going to die. You don't have to be so sad, isn't this where we end up? As the veteran began to remove his armor and weapons, he forced a smile and said, "A soldier is best home..."
Captain Calan sighed, he stuck his one-handed sword into the soft ground, stepped forward and patted the veteran on the shoulder, "I'm sorry, Leo. I don't want to do that, but you know ......."
Calan pulled his distance and drew his sword from the ground. As the leader of the squad, he knew what he had to do at this point.
"I understand, Captain." Although his eyes were full of unwillingness, the veteran still laughed, "Let's do it." ”
“...... Wait a minute! Little Yuri shouted at Karan emotionally, "Wait!! ”
