Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Torrent
The next day martial law continued, and many people in the monastery knew that the Inquisition's city-wide search was doomed to a wasted end, because most of the prisoners on the missing list had long since lost their way to where they had been sold.
With so many felons missing, Unas, an anonymous person whose name or crime had not even been registered, was mixed in the long list and no one paid attention to it, and he had passed the hurdle.
Todd's death made many people breathe a sigh of relief, there is no proof of death, it is good for everyone, and it is inconvenient to dig deep into this case, anyway, all the blame is put on the dead people, which is what the chief prosecutor is best at.
The difficulty is to catch the missing prisoner, knowing that this is a black hole that cannot be filled, but Ethan Leon must hold on and make a gesture of urgency, and it is impossible for him to forcibly suppress this kind of thing when this happens the day before the triumphant return of the three adults who have gone out to the Eastern Plague Lands.
The triumphal welcome ceremony had to be cancelled, and no one was allowed to move freely during martial law, so when the three leaders returned the next afternoon, the procession that greeted them was very shabby.
There were no cheering crowds, flowers, wine and food, just a gloomy Ethan Leon and a seriously wounded Tyrosus, and a group of soldiers under their respective commands.
Whitemane and Darien were among the crowd, their father returning triumphantly, and no matter how busy the court was, they both had to make a visit.
Unas was also mixed in behind the soldiers in the procession, and during martial law people were not allowed to travel freely, he was supposed to stay in the hut, but this morning when Darion took the time to visit the door and told him about the greeting, so he asked Darian to take one with him, and he was bored in the hut for almost two days and he wanted to go out to breathe.
Darian agreed to him, but Unas was not qualified to follow Darian in the front row, so he could only mix in with the soldiers behind him and watch the excitement.
The monastery's narrow gates were easy to defend, but the procession was too small to accommodate them, not to mention the need for a passage for the troops, so Unas and the last row of soldiers were squeezed onto the hill beside the road.
The view here is very good, but it is a little far away from the city gate, Unas looked into the distance, only to see three black dots emerging from a sharp bend in the mountain road, and as the sound of horses' hooves approached, the sturdy figures of the three knights gradually became clear.
The first thing to enter is the flag that the three of them are carrying behind each other, the red one is the military flag of the Northern Maple Legion, and they continue the flag of Lordaeron, but the "L" pattern that was pierced by the sword is changed from blue to red, symbolizing the blood feud that will never be forgotten.
The gold and silver colors are the banners of the Knights of the Ash Judgment, and the golden greatsword and silver sledgehammer are struck into a skewed cross, symbolizing the Paladin's eternal service to the Light.
The silver-rimmed blue background and the silver Giant Fist form the third banner, which is the regimental flag of the Silver Hand headquarters, and Da Sohan is also the acting commander of the Stratholme headquarters, and considers himself orthodox, so he does not use the banner of the Scarlet Holy Light Branch.
Triumphant armies usually send vanguard officers to the front to report victory, and the arrival of these three men indicates that the army is imminent.
Although the events of the monastery had long since been passed down to the triumphant army through scouts, the convention continued, with no cheering crowds greeting the three knights, but a few shouts from the soldiers.
Soon a large group of men and horses appeared on the mountain road, the beat of drums and trumpets sounded, and the military band on the city walls began to play the victory march.
The first to gallop was a group of golden figures, heard that the paladins of the Knights of the Ash Judgment were uniformly dressed in golden armor, Unas stretched his neck, he came mainly to see the Ash Messenger, but unfortunately this group of people quickly rushed into the city gate, only to see Mograini and his son, who were suspected to be surrounded by them.
The next thing was the wave of cavalry galloping into the city gates, and after a long march and this spirit, the Ash Judgment deserved to be called the most elite knights.
It was like a military parade, and then it was the turn of another knight regiment to appear, their speed was much slower, the military formation was a little looser than the front, and the paladins led by them had different robes and armors, like a ragtag army.
But this is actually the result of some disabled sub-groups returning to their headquarters, and their strength should not be underestimated because of this, there is no shortage of famous warriors among them.
Dressed in a red double-headed eagle robe, Saidan Dasohan is among them, his long pale hair and deep wrinkles on his face will let you know that he is old, but his majestic figure on his horse and the giant warhammer hanging from his back still exude an awe-inspiring and dangerous atmosphere.
Unas suddenly felt a palpitation, and he didn't know if it was an illusion, Da Sohan seemed to look up at him, and the eyes of the two were far away for a moment, and Unas's chest immediately had a slight tingling sensation.
The Dreadlord in his body reacted, so it is likely that Dasohan has been possessed by another Dreadlord Banazar, who he doesn't look at, but he looks at Unas, and it is very likely that he has also found Bethryth attached to Unas's body.
The special induction between the Dreadlords seemed to reveal the secrets of the two to each other as soon as they looked at each other.
Unas is a little reluctant to admit this fact, history repeats itself, how can he, a small person, prevent the tragedy from happening?
After all the people and horses of the "headquarters" of the silver hand entered the city, the last one to appear was of course the Beifeng Legion.
The sight was a dazzling red, red banners, red battle robes, red armor, red cloaks, perhaps not as elite as the first two armies in terms of personnel and equipment, but when this huge and seemingly endless torrent of red steel poured into his eyes, Unaston was awakened from his distress.
The uniform attire combined with the large number of people can indeed create an amazing momentum, making people feel that the North Feng Legion is simply unstoppable.
In this crimson, it was difficult for outsiders to tell who was the commander and who was the soldier, and Unas looked for it and did not know which one was General Abydis.
The red torrent lasted for a long time before it ended, and it was directly estimated with the naked eye that the strength of the Beifeng Legion was much more than that of the other two knights combined, no wonder Abidis was so arrogant, and a big fist was the last word.
With the arrival of a large number of troops, the monastery, which had been dead and silent due to martial law, became lively again, and the soldiers who returned triumphantly did not get the welcome they deserved, of course, there would be some complaints and restlessness, and the Inquisition seemed to be busy trying to restore martial law, and these soldiers who had experienced the war were not docile lambs.
Unas returned to Gordon's hut with a heavy heart, and before he could gather his thoughts and ask Bethrys a question, the demon's voice rang out in his heart: "Hehe, my friend, I'm sorry I hurt you just now. ”
Unas ignored him, since this demon took the initiative to speak, he would not come to apologize, and see what nonsense he had to say next.
Sure enough, the demon continued casually: "You must have discovered the anomaly just now, my friend, I have discovered a secret that I can only share with you." ”
What a bullshit secret, isn't it Banazal possessed by Dassohan? Lao Tzu has known for a long time, as long as players who have played the Stantolme dungeon know that the final boss of the Blood Zone, Da Sohan, will eventually become the Dreaddemon King Barnazar, because he has long been invaded by demons.
However, Bethires did not know that he was a time-traveler, and wanted to gain his favor through this, and Unas continued to ignore him.
"Don't you want to know what's the secret? This is a matter of life and death for you and me! ”
It's not alarmist for the demon to say this, it's hard to say what kind of attitude Banazar will have towards Bethires trapped in Unas's body, there will never be brotherhood between the Dread Demon King, and it is normal for the demon and the demon to use each other to enslave each other, and it seems that it is time to respond to this demon.
"What's the matter of life and death?! Tell me! Unas felt that his acting skills could enter the Golden Rooster Hundred Flowers.
Bethrius was a little speechless by his surprise, and paused for a moment to explain the secret that Unas already knew.
