Chapter 16: The Blood of Northrend
The voice whispered to me, "Come to me." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”
……
I understood at the beginning that it was the Light calling to me in my dreams. Over the years, in addition to my prayers, I have worked tirelessly to cleanse Azeroth of the surface of the undead. Despite my failures, I never gave up. Today, it all came to fruition.
……
Finally! Here it is again. "Come to me......" the Light commanded me.
……
The words of the Light became more urgent. When I woke up from my dream, I could still feel that impatience. I won't let it down. There can be no further delay, we must act as soon as possible!
……
General Abidis put down the pen in her hand, and a smile suddenly appeared on the corner of her mouth.
She could clearly feel the call of the Light, and perhaps it would not be long before she could lead the Scarlet Crusaders to completely destroy Arthas and his Scourge and restore her homeland of Lordaeron......
At that time, it was all over, right?
Lordaeron will be purified, the scourge and the undead will disappear from this world, Lordaeron will return to its glory, and everything will return to what it was before the Scourge invaded...... That day was near, for the Light had promised her!
A hurried knock on the door interrupted her thoughts, and a scarlet scout walked in.
Bridget Abydis kept herself as serious as she could, so that the majesty would not disappear from the eyes of the soldiers.
"What's wrong?" She asked a little indifferently.
"Bad news, General!" The scout's expression was a little worried: "We still haven't heard from Admiral Weswin, he and his fleet seem to have disappeared on the beaches of Northrend!" ”
Abydis's face was a little ugly, could it be that Weswin had also betrayed the Light? This is impossible, in the dream, the Holy Light told himself that Admiral Weswin would be the most trustworthy comrade-in-arms!
Speaking of which, since Admiral Weswin returned from his last disappearance, he has always felt that something is wrong with him, but he doesn't say much about it! It's a pity that apart from him, there are no trustworthy comrades-in-arms around him! Mograine and Whitemane died in the Abbey, Ethan Lion died in the Eastern Plaguelands, and even Marlan is now missing......
Let's hope he can come back soon," General Abydis sighed.
"What is the situation at the front?" She continued.
"It's tight!" The scout sighed, "Arthas has concentrated most of his forces on our camp at the Gate of Damnation, and we have suffered heavy losses!" ”
"What about the Silver Northern Expeditionary Army?" General Abydis couldn't help but be a little irritable: "Didn't they flank the army of Arthas?" ”
"I'm sorry, General!" The scout continued, "Fortin the Traitor led his new Silver Hand to the northernmost part of Icecrown and set up camp, presumably planning to attack Icecrown. In fact, they don't have any desire to fight alongside us! ”
"We don't need their help either!" General Abydis's mood was unstable: "Call Bishop Skitt!" ”
The scout reverently retreated, and after a few minutes, Bishop Skitter walked into the room: "General, what's the matter?" ”
Abidis looked at the map and ordered, "You lead the 6th and 24th battalions to the Gate of Damnation to support our front line!" ”
Bishop Skitt grimaced: "The Sixth and Twenty-fourth Battalions are our last reserves, and if we transfer them away, we will have no defenses in New Hearth Valley!" ”
"We can't care so much, once the battle line of the Gate of Damnation is defeated, all our efforts will be in vain!" General Abydis said with a solemn face.
"But...... Then your safety ......," the bishop was a little worried.
"It's okay, the Light will protect me! We will defeat the Scourge at the Gate of Damnation, and I will slay Arthas, the coward, with my own hands, and then restore our homeland from the Forsaken......"
"Yes, General!"
……
The last two Scarlet Crusader forces in New Hearthvale left like this, and the entire camp was deserted.
Abidis sat in front of the map, continuing his pre-battle deployment.
There was something terrible quiet outside, and her instincts felt that something was wrong.
Picking up her two-handed sword, she walked out the door, only to see that it was snowy outside, and at the same time blood stained the ground red.
The scout, who had just reported the situation in front of her, was now nailed to the wall with a javelin, his mouth open as if he was still crying for help before he died.
"Undead!" Holy light poured out from the body of the great general Abidis, who raised her two-handed sword and shouted angrily, "Get out of here!" ”
A sharp pain came from behind him!
There are thieves!
Without hesitation, she slashed her weapon behind her, and a skeleton corpse fell to the ground.
General Abydis strode over to the scout and pulled out the javelin from his chest, but his breathing had long since stopped. Not even the whole camp was breathing except for itself, because there were no living people left!
Everyone but himself is dead.
The wound on his back ached, and the thief she had just hacked to death had poison on his dagger.
General Abydis only felt a little dizzy and wanted to sleep......
A Forsaken thief emerges from the shadows and looks at the Scarlet Crusader Commander who has been poisoned to the ground!
"Abydis's head, I'm afraid it can be exchanged for at least a thousand gold coins!" He said greedily.
Blood stained the earth red again.
……
Jon looked at the scene in front of him, and he was inexplicably calm.
It turns out that this is what I am really afraid of!
Your real fear is not the past, but the future!
Looking at the headless corpse on the ground, is this the fate that Bridget deserves? If this scene in front of me really happens in front of me, I'm afraid it will be even more unacceptable than the scene in Stormwind City!
But the good thing is that this is the future, because everything hasn't started yet, so it's still too late......
In Jon Mills's eyes, there was no more fear, but a little more determination.
"This shouldn't be her fate!"
"Because times have changed, I'm going to change all that!"
Everything around him began to dissipate, and Jon suddenly felt an even greater force fill his body!
A cold voice suddenly sounded in my head again: "I have advanced to level 5 Shadow Priest." ”
