Chapter 26: Fear
The Vanguard was guided by Whitemane into the forest by the lake, where the Scourge Dogs and Darkblood Bat had rushed out, and it was not surprising that the Dreadguards were hiding in the forest.
The forest is full of trees, and the speed of the team can't help but slow down, Unas has heard a saying called "Don't enter the forest", it is easy to be ambushed in the woods, he stared closely at the thumbnail in his head, if the enemy used the undead class to ambush him, he could find it at the first time.
At this time, Whitemayne suddenly stopped, she was the leader, this stop the whole team stopped, Gordon was a little impatient, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"It's gone from my senses," Whitemayne said calmly, "and the mark I released on it has long since expired, and now the little breath left has finally dissipated. ”
"Where did you last sense it?"
"Right in front of us, it's been moving, and it seems to be running away."
Gordon groaned for a moment and ordered, "Darian, you take everyone back first, and Unas and I will chase after you for a while." ”
It's not the first time Darien has received this kind of order, although entrusting the team to himself proves Gordon's trust in his ability, but it doesn't feel good to always be a spare tire, Gordon is the captain, but he always likes to engage in personal heroism, and then dump the stall to himself, and the previous sentence "Don't just care about your sister" also made him very dissatisfied.
Before he could protest, Whitemayne spoke out first: "Stop your pointless actions, we should all go back and help the other teams out." ”
"It's not for nothing that you kill the Dread Guards who control those beasts, and they will naturally escape." Gordon retorted quickly.
"It's impossible for you to find a flying enemy in this jungle," Darien interjected, "and that's just a waste of time." ”
Gordon glanced at Darian in surprise, he didn't expect Darian to oppose him, he nodded and said quickly: "You're right, we don't have time to argue anymore, and it will be difficult for Unas and I to find the enemy, so you and Whitemayne have stayed behind to help us hunt down that demon." ”
"Earl," he turned to a tall, lanky knight next to him, "you lead the team back." ”
"Yes, sir." Earl replied without hesitation, obeying orders without question, which is a purely military quality.
The rest of the group did not object, and Unas was now Gordon's henchman, and certainly would not disobey him, and the soldiers followed Earl to turn their horses' heads, most of them had been recruited by Gordon to join the vanguard, and had ample trust in their commander.
Darien and Whitemane were stunned for a moment, the siblings didn't expect Gordon to be so tough, and they couldn't retreat.
Gordon and Unas did not wait for them, and the two set off on their horses, leaving the siblings behind.
Gordon knew very well that Darion was right, that without Whiteman's senses, it would be too difficult to find the Dreadguard in this forest, and he was just gambling.
He was eighty percent sure that the enemy was not in ambush, that demon did not have such good patience, there was an ambush soldier who had already appeared, it was just running away.
Twenty people can chase it and escape, but what about two? Gordon bet that the Guardians of Dread would be tempted to attack both of them - now four of them, and that he would be able to kill them back and reclaim the "Fire Kiss".
The two siblings behind him finally followed, and this time they were offended and hated, but Gordon was never afraid of offending people, he deliberately slowed down to avoid getting too far away from the two, after all, they were also the targets of possible attacks.
After walking some distance, a white mist unconsciously shrouded the surroundings, and Gordon tightened his horsewhip and reminded Unas: "It's the old routine again, be careful." ”
But there was no response behind him, and he turned his head to see that Unas, who had been following him, had disappeared without a sound!
Shocked in his heart, he immediately shouted the name of Unas loudly, the mountains and forests filled with white mist were terrifying, and the shouts disappeared quickly as if they had been sucked into the abyss.
He turned his horse's head and ran back, shouting "Darian" and "Whiteman", but there was no one behind him, and the two siblings were gone.
A fine cold sweat broke out from his forehead, if someone could kill the three of them quietly, then he would have no chance of surviving, but why was he still riding alive on the horse now?
Without much time for him to think, there was a sudden cry for help in front of him, as if grasping a life-saving straw, Gordon slammed the horse's belly and galloped towards the place where the sound came from.
The cacophony of shouts became clearer and clearer, not like only three people could make it, the light of the fire came through the forest in the distance, and seeing that the fire was not small, Gordon swung his horsewhip violently, knocked his head into a bush, and suddenly appeared in front of him in disbelief.
The stone pavements littered with corpses, the burning houses lining the streets, the disgusting sweetness in the air, and the screaming civilians fleeing, this was the place he would never forget—the Elders' Square in Stratholme.
He turned his head sharply, and there was no woods behind him, and a knight covered in blood, as if he had come from hell, stood quietly, the knight kicked violently with his head down, and his long golden hair, stained red with blood, hung down, covering most of his face.
But Gordon still recognized at a glance the man to whom he had sworn allegiance—
"Arthas!"
The prince of Lordaeron looked up sharply, and his men dared to call him by name, he knew that it meant only a possibility, anger and fear distorted his handsome face, and a beastly roar came from his mouth: "Do you want to betray me?" Joseph Gordon!? ”
"Not only will I betray you," the enemy who gnashed his teeth day and night was in front of him, hatred and anger shattered Gordon's reason, and he urged the war horse under his crotch with all his might, "I will also break you to pieces!" ”
The desire to destroy filled Gordon's heart, and even if it all seemed so unreal, what could be more important than being worthy of this depraved coward?
……
Unas suddenly woke up from the bed, grabbed the alarm clock and looked, 2:50,, it's over! I took the math test at three o'clock in the afternoon, and I couldn't enter at half past two, and the alarm clock was broken, so no one came to wake me up!?
He hurriedly put on his shoes and rushed out the door, but then he suddenly noticed a small glowing green dot in his mind.
By the way, didn't you travel to the Tirisfal Glade with the system and chase the enemy?
This realization was born in his heart, and his body felt light at the same time, as if something that bound his soul had dissipated, and the surrounding scene was torn open like a curtain, and Unas returned to the forest.
And what greeted him was Gordon, who was holding a big sword and stabbing straight at him, and in an instant the tip of the sword pierced in front of his eyes, and his eyes were almost unable to open because of the sword wind.
Before he had time to think about it, Unas fell backwards violently, his feet shrank out of the stirrups, his hands squeezed hard on the horse's back, and the whole person shrunk into a ball and slipped out of the horse's buttocks, did a backflip in the air, and then landed firmly on the ground.
Unas was stunned by the actions he made subconsciously, and felt that Jackie Chan was at this level. The Enhanced King Blessing made him twice as agile as a normal person, and his skills became more agile and free.
But now is not the time to be complacent, Gordon's eyes are red, and he roars and charges again, he should have fallen into an evil trick, just like the dream he just entered, but Gordon does not have the protection of the system god, and seems to be a little deep.
"Gordon! Wake up! He shouted at Gordon, but Gordon showed no signs of coming to his senses.
There was also the sound of ping-pong behind him, and Whitemane and Darion seemed to be fighting, and if the Dreadguard fired a fireball or something, they would not be lucky.
"Dang!" With a bang, the hammer and sword clashed, Unas swung the silver hammer and fought hard with Gordon, he only felt that the tiger's mouth was shaken and painful, and Verrigan's fist almost flew out of his hand, Gordon's strength was really not something he could resist.
Fortunately, Gordon, who was in a daze, was delirious and only slashed like a recruit, as if he had forgotten that he could set fire, otherwise Unas would have to flee.
Unas flashed the "black wind" that charged and found that he also had an advantage in weapons, the big sword in Gordon's hand was just a good quality standard weapon picked at the quartermaster's office, at best, it was a tabula rasa, and there was already a crack on the sword, and although the Fist of Verrigan in his hand was not an artifact, the weapon with a name would not be bad, at least it was a blue suit.
Judging from the weapon itself alone, the hammer also has an advantage over the sword, as long as he fights hard a few times and breaks Gordon's sword, he has a chance to win, but he doesn't know if he can hold out until then, and Gordon's charge is coming again!
