Chapter 11: The Siege of Talonshire (Part II)
Under everyone's gaze, the bodies of these Gilneys began to change violently, their waistlines instantly doubled, their bodies were stretched, and the bones above and below their bodies slided, making the sound of bones misaligned, and at the same time, his face was elongated, turning into beast-like faces, and a pair of bloody mouths seemed to be able to easily bite off people's throats. Gradually, their hair became thicker, and the width of their bodies almost doubled. The height exceeds that of a normal human.
"Nope! Holy light above, what kind of monster is this! β
The Scarlet Priest and the warriors questioned in horror as they gripped their weapons that they had laid down and aimed them at the suddenly transformed monsters.
However, Ares, the president of the Brotherhood of Light, doesn't seem to speak? Could it be that this Great Lord deliberately allowed these monsters to infiltrate the Brotherhood of Light?
The Scarlet Great Warrior Xia Zuo questioned - "Great Lord, did you know about the existence of these monsters in advance, and didn't tell us, and let them deliberately sneak into such a sacred organization as the Brotherhood of Holy Light?" β
The great warrior Xia Zuo said, clenching his battle axe in both hands, staring at the terrifying-looking beasts in front of him. However, the Gilneth werewolves don't seem to be threatening to attack them. They stood there, their eyes clear and full of reason.
"Yes, I know. And I also know that they will be one of us, and in the next battle, we will have to fight side by side to have any hope of breaking through. β
Ares said as he struggled to his feet as he clasped his aching shoulders with one hand.
Whitemane gave him a concerned look and was about to come up to help, but Ares nodded to her, indicating that it was okay......
"We will not be allied with wild beasts!"
The Scarlet Crusader Nazzo roared loudly, if it weren't for the tall and mighty werewolves standing beside Ares, he would have almost rushed up and tore Ares apart! What kind of president actually arranged a group of monsters into the Brotherhood of Light? Oh, my God! He was such a wicked man. Xia Zuo scolded in his heart.
"Yes!"
Immediately afterward, the Scarlet Crusaders and priests behind them rose to respond. At the same time, they also took up their weapons one after another and confronted Ares's werewolves, and the scene was suddenly tense and tense.
"However, if they don't change, do you know they're werewolves?"
Ares asked rhetorically.
"No, you don't know. And they, too, are not beasts. They are werewolves, Gilneth werewolves who can control their inner wildness and strength. In the first battle, they all remained in human form. You, all of us, are fighting with them, and we are fighting together. β
Seeing that the warriors and priests of the Scarlet Crusaders on the opposite side were silent, Ares continuedβ
"Brothers, I was once a member of the Scarlet Crusade, what is the slogan of the Scarlet Crusaders? Those who are bloodstained with me today will become my eternal brothers. I still remember it. And these Gilneys, half an hour ago, were fighting alongside us against the undead of the Scourge, what reason do we have to exclude them? They even have wounds on their bodies, and they fight with us and bleed together! β
After Ares finished speaking, the Scarlet Crusaders fell silent. It is indeed a contradiction for them.
However, Ares's statement is indeed more convincing, that the slogan of a group, an organization means that the spirit and soul of the organization are absolutely unshakable. Like the slogan of the Knights of the Silver Hand, no one ever questioned it. And Ares suppressed the voices of the group with the slogan of the Scarlet Crusade.
"Believe me, brothers, only if we are united, can we hope to rush out. For the Scarlet Crusaders, for the Silver Dawn, for the Brotherhood of Light, for our dead family and friends, for the future of Lordaeron! β
Ares said, and the atmosphere on the field gradually calmed down a little. The warriors and priests of the Scarlet Crusaders, even if they were reluctant, now that they were ready to fly, had to accept it.
"That's it, we've rested enough, so let's set off, together, and rush out. Don't expect anyone to come to our aid, this group of undead has surrounded us here. Don't even think of sending out a shred of information. For three days, the guards of the Chapel of Light's Wish will not notice anything unusual. Now it's up to us. I will find the lich that controls the undead, and only by killing it will the zombies stop their frenzied attacks. β
The Scarlet Crusaders and the Werewolves of Gilneth, as well as the Silver Dawn, sat down again. This time, Ares told everyone about his next plan.
And just like that, the Scarlet Crusaders, the Warriors of Silver Dawn, the Priests, and the fluffy Gilneth werewolves huddled together for an "unforgettable" night.
During this time, Xia Zuo even joked that he had never slept with a pack of wolf cubs. But he was stopped by an angry look from Ares. During the integration of the two sides, this kind of joke was still rare......
By the dawn of the next day, the fog outside the house had almost dissipated. Obviously, even a lich can't cast spells for a long time to change the weather. It can only do it for a while. At this moment, everyone has put on their armor and is in good spirits, ready to fight again. No one wants to stay in the encirclement of the undead for a quarter of an hour.
More than thirty warriors, paladins, filled the empty town hall. Opening the Sacred Deed, Ares stood in front of each of the warriors, praying. A steady stream of Light energy gathers in your hands. Then, this holy energy was injected into the bodies of each Brotherhood of Light warriors one by one. Yes, blessed by power, blessed by kings...... These essential skills for paladins have been mastered by Ares until now.
What can be accomplished with a simple action in the game now requires concentration and patient prayer. In the end, when the King's Blessing was injected into the bodies of each of the Brotherhood's warriors, a faint golden light gradually rose from the bodies of these Brotherhood of Light warriors. It is the blessing of the Light, the nemesis of the dead. Coupled with the priest's spiritual fire, Ares knew that in the next battle, these most elite knights of Lordaeron would be protected by divine energy. Their armor will become harder, and the general Scourge undead will no longer pose a threat to them.
"For Lordaeron!"
As the light of dawn poured into the house, the warriors of the Brotherhood of Light, led by High Lord Ares, kicked open the door to the town hall.
In front of him, there were dense undead zombies with dull eyes.
