Chapter 52: Gavin Rad - Doom
An elite cavalry, taking advantage of the darkness of the night, passed through Brill in unison. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Silver Hand, full speed ahead!" The Paladin, who was at the head, raised the sledgehammer in his hand and shouted loudly.
"Lord Gavinrad!" A Silver Hand scout rode his horse: "The road is too rough, and many of the knights' horses are tired from it, and they are almost unable to keep up with the team!" ”
Gavinrad frowned, and ordered: "The fallen knights will repair and assemble in place, and the rest of the people, follow me to Agamande Manor as fast as possible!" ”
Gavinrad Doom, one of the first five members of the Order to be baptized by Archbishop Alonthos Fao, along with Uther Lightbringer and Tirio Ferdin, is now the Vice-Chancellor of the Order of the Silver Hand in Lordaeron.
Just an hour earlier, he had received an urgent letter from a suburban sheriff named Duane. In the letter, the poor sheriff mentions that several necromancers of the Cursed Sect have appeared in the Agamande Manor in his jurisdiction, and have turned most of the farmers in the entire manor into undead creatures, and he is now leading the guards and the remnants of the farmers to defend the castle of Agamande, resisting the attacks of hundreds of undead, hoping to get support as soon as possible.
As the Deputy Knight of the Silver Hand, Gavinrad is naturally aware of the threat posed by the Cursed Sect. Over the past year, Lordaeron has been attacked by this mysterious group on several occasions, killing many ordinary civilians and causing heavy losses. If it weren't for King Terenus's order to strictly block such news, I am afraid that it would have caused great panic among the ordinary people of Lordaeron.
Since the leader of the Knights, Uther-Lightbringer, is now leading an army to encircle and suppress the remnants of the orcs in Alterac, Gavinrad, as the temporary leader, did not dare to slack off, and after hearing about such a large-scale undead incident, he immediately mobilized nearly two hundred knights with silver hands and rushed to Agamande Manor overnight.
……
Of course, it is understandable that the timid sheriff Duane, under extreme fear, invisibly exaggerates the strength of the undead. However, the current Agamand Manor does not seem to have much trouble.
Bridget led the people and went on a rampage through the manor, but did not meet much resistance. These undead creatures, one by one, lost eighty or ninety percent of their resistance as if they had lost their souls, and let them destroy them like wooden stakes.
Bridget was clutching the sword in her hand, slicing a stout zombie into pieces.
Baron Agamande, who was on the side, suddenly lit up his eyes: "Miss Abydis, look at the farm in front, there is light!" ”
Undead creatures don't need light, they even hate light, so ......
"Jon......" the girl murmured, and she rushed to the farm.
"Keep up!" Baron Agamand shouted with a leather whip, he had invisibly taken the place of Sheriff Duane.
The priest's sword slashed open the gate of the farm, and Bridge saw a familiar figure inside the door, who was lighting a fire.
"Brie, you ......" Jon Mills looked surprised when he saw a group of visitors outside the door.
"Wait Miss Abydis!" Baron Agamand hurriedly grabbed the young priest who was trying to rush over, and said with a serious expression: "Be careful, Mr. Mills, he may have become an undead......"
A faint light poured out of Jon's hand, almost blinding Baron Agamande's eyes.
Undead creatures were even less likely to use the light, but with a "poof" sound, the heavy sword fell to the ground, and Bridget rushed to Jon's side, clasping Jon's face with both hands.
"It's all right, Jon......" the girl's eyes were full of concern
"It's okay, I'm fine!" Jon said with a smile, gesturing at a strange creature squirming around the fire, "But he doesn't have to!" ”
Jon then comes up with a very simple story to the effect that he hides in the farm in a panic, only to find that the injured necromancer Ibby has also entered. He then defeated the necromancer with the Holy Light in a sneak attack, then trapped him and hid here waiting for rescue......
A story with a lot of holes, but Baron Agamandel didn't seem to have any suspicions, because after seeing Bridget's powerful fighting power, there was every reason to think that the other priest was not weak.
At this moment, there was a horse whistle outside the door.
Duane, the sheriff who was huddled in the crowd, jumped out happily at this time.
"Reinforcements are coming!"
……
The situation at Agamande Manor was much better than Gavin Rad had imagined.
The cavalry of the Silver Hand stormed the manor, only to find a small number of scattered undead creatures, which were easily wiped out by the Knights.
In addition, around the castle, there are broken corpses of the undead, which are obviously the work of the guards here.
It seems that this sheriff named Duane has done a good job! Gavinrad secretly commented in his mind that he had decided to report the sheriff's exploits to King Terenus.
In addition, in a small farm, the knights found the survivors of the manor, about thirty people, except for a few minor injuries, who were treated by the paladins, and most of them had no problems except for some fatigue.
"You've done a great job!" Walking into the survivor's hut, Gavinrad smiled and exclaimed, happy with the result.
"It's all thanks to Miss Abydis!" Baron Agamandel saluted Gavinrad and said.
"Abydis?" For Gavinrad, it's a familiar surname.
"Lord Gavinrad!" Bridget gave the paladin a standard chivalric salute.
"It turned out to be Alfred's daughter!" Gavinrad smiled heartily: "No wonder the cursed sect will suffer such a big loss this time, it is really a tiger father and no dog girl!" ”
"Lord Gavinrad!" Jon also said to the paladin, "Actually, we still have an achievement, we captured a captive of the Cursed Sect this time. ”
"Captive?" The expression on Gavinrad's face changed from surprise to joy, a disgusting group of followers of the Cult of the Damned, who seemed to be fiercely loyal to their faith and fearless of death. According to them, death is only a new beginning, and after death they can better serve their masters...... It is even rumored that after death, they thought that after death, they would be rewarded by their master and served by seventy-three beautiful maidens......
Considering that the Silver Hand knows very little about the Cursed Sect, a captive...... Perhaps more valuable than this victory.
"Where is he?" Gavinrad said solemnly: "I will interrogate him personally!" ”
