Chapter 4: Escape from Stratholme (Part II)
Ares swung his hammer, and the weapon that shimmered blue hit the head of the undead spider like sulfuric acid sprinkled on the skin, and one of the eyes of the undead spider was instantly burned and disabled, and the angry scream of the undead spider was heard in the air. With a terrifying impact, Ares was knocked away by the undead spider, and the whole person was knocked into the wall like a toy, rebounding and falling to the ground.
All of a sudden, as if all the internal organs had been squeezed out, breathing the only air in his chest, Ares got up with difficulty, only to see that the veteran Orik had already lit the dry wood and pushed the "chariot" towards the undead spider!
It's almost a suicidal charge.
The undead spider who was attacked by the flames suddenly screamed. Its body hair was ignited, and the dark beetle crackled in the flames.
"Run! Orik! ”
Ares shouted. Immediately, the undead spider quickly turned around and bit Olick in his mouth!
Ares wanted to scream, but found that he couldn't, the smell of blood filled the air, and the screams of blood-colored crusaders were everywhere.
With all his might, Ares waved his hand and motioned for everyone to evacuate quickly.
Everyone, it should be said that they were still alive, fled like mad dogs. Flee for the road.
In the night sky, the banshee's scream still lingered.
Two blood-colored veterans lifted Ares in the corner of the wall and ran desperately.
In the midst of the toss, Ares could see the giant undead spider limping towards the crowd.
"Falck, I can, let me down."
It's been less than two hours since the crossing, but Ares feels as if he's fully integrated. This great escape is simply too realistic, the sacrifice of the crusaders. It's moving.
Falk put their captain down. Behind him, the undead who are chasing and beating are already imminent, and they don't know where the power is. Ares slammed the hammer to the ground, and a golden glow erupted from the blade.
Form an impenetrable barrier of holy light.
The undead behind him were immediately blocked, and some of the undead skeletons who were close to them were immediately burned, burned, and fell to the ground, turning into a cloud of ashes...... In the light, Ares seemed to see the past years of this body, those warm images, the father training his son on the playground, putting wheat cakes in his son's bowl, carrying the injured child on his back on the mountain road, everything was as vivid as a movie film, but fleeting.
"Captain!"
The crusaders behind him shouted. Ares turned around and saw that the gates of Stratholme were within reach.
Immediately, the hammer was raised, and the barrier of light vanished.
With all his strength, Ares ran. The world in front of me is shaking and shaking, and it seems that the city is collapsing. In fact, Ares knew that it was his own physical strength that was draining. At this moment, relying entirely on the strength of the spirit, he can barely maintain the posture of running.
Panting for breath, I don't know how long I ran like this, Ares and the six veterans of the Scarlet Crusaders finally passed through the black gates. Several veterans worked together to lift the rusty iron door up.
Make way for the Crusader team to escape.
When they escaped from the city gates, the army of the undead was also left behind. Or rather, they don't want to leave the city at all.
Ares lay on the ground, gasping for breath, and began to think about what had happened in the past few hours......
Through...... Paladin ......
It seems to be not bad, the paladin was Ares' favorite class to play before he crossed over, commonly known as the actor, because it was very gorgeous when he released his skills...... But there is a problem, others have the assistance of the system, and they all have awesome stunts or talents. What does brother have?
First of all, Ares found that unlike other traversers, he had a system on his body, Mu had a special talent, Mu had a great master, and Mu had a particularly good luck. On the contrary, my luck was terrible. My father had been killed in battle at Lordaeron a few months earlier, and as soon as he crossed, he found himself in an extremely dangerous place—the Plaguelands.
The surrounding land is as if it has been poisoned, without a trace of green and life. An orange haze floated in the air, and a suffocating rancid smell came to my nose. It's even more uncomfortable to be hazy.
Moreover, this is not only that, the camp he is in is still an extremely unstable, fanatical and impulsive organization - the Scarlet Crusade. A large, yet internally crisis-ridden human organization.
Speaking of the Scarlet Crusaders. First of all, it's a human organization in World of Warcraft.
After the death of Uther the Lightbringer in Andorhar, the Knights of the Silver Hand, known as the banner of the Alliance, were disbanded, and after the fall of Lordaeron, some paladins joined the Scarlet Crusade formed by Mograine and Abidis, which was the prototype of the Scarlet Crusader.
But the organization was tragic, and several important leaders were either killed or bewitched by demons. First of all, the great lord Alexandros who established it. Mograini was killed by his youngest son, Renaud. Mograine is killed, and the Ember Bringer is corrupted. Dassohan, another leader of the Scarlet Crusaders, was killed by demons during the attack on Stratholme and was possessed by demons, becoming a puppet of demons.
Using the body of Dassohan, the demon Banazar succeeded in seducing the Crusaders into becoming so fanatical that they no longer targeted the undead, but even civilians, and those who had the slightest verbal discord or did not want to join the Crusaders would be slaughtered by the Scarlet Crusaders. It can be said that the crusaders hated not only the undead, but also the civilians.
This is the organization Ares is now in. It's just that how he joined the Scarlet Crusade, Ares can't remember for a while.
If this world is the same as the World of Warcraft as he knows it, Ares knows that he can't stay in the Scarlet Crusader for long. The undead are ravaging Lordaeron, and the only safe places in the Eastern Kingdoms are Stormwind and Ironforge in the south.
It's just that Stormwind and Ironforge are too far away from here, and for now, they must first solve their own food and clothing safety problems.
"Captain, only eight of us escaped, and the rest are all buried in the city."
Seeing that Ares had regained some strength, the veteran Falk gasped and walked over, reporting the military situation with a serious expression.
From the time travel to the present, Ares hasn't had time to look in the mirror to see what he really looks like. But Ares knew that his current position was the captain of the commando. Yes, a paladin, very rare in the army system of the Scarlet Crusaders. The Scarlet Crusaders are mostly made up of warriors and civilians, and the worst paladins can also have the power to lead a team of hundreds.
Ares guessed that he was the worst of the Scarlet Crusades......
"How many people were there when we went in?"
Looking at the sad look of the old soldier Falck, Ares continued to ask.
"One hundred and twenty."
