Chapter 157: The Great Escape

There was some quiet in the early morning in Talon County, and in a hut, Mayor Joseph Redpass opened his eyes, and he hadn't rested so comfortably for many days!

Young Pamela slept peacefully in her little bed, less than ten yards from Redpass, a poor child who was not frightened only when her father was by her side. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Mayor Redpass stared at his daughter for two seconds before exiting the room.

Because the tranquility of all this was just the beginning, Redpass knew that the undead's attack was only a temporary stop, and that they would definitely make a comeback.

Walking out of the cottage and onto the streets of Talon County, Mayor Redpass suddenly saw a white figure.

"Mistress Mills!" He greeted warmly.

"Hello, Mayor Mare!" Jon smiled and nodded.

"Hungry? Need I have someone make a little breakfast for you and Miss Marlan? ”

"No need, I've already eaten it!" Jon shook his head, and earlier there had been enthusiastic peasant women carrying fresh bread and piping hot milk in front of his room.

He suddenly glanced at Redpass with a serious face, and said, "I just walked around the town of Talon County, it's a beautiful town, but it's ......"

Mayor Redpass frowned.

"Backed by mountains on two sides, surrounded by water on one side, there is only one exit to the Eastern Plaguelands......" Jon said lightly, "In other words, if the undead block this only exit, maybe we will have to be trapped here by them!" ”

This is exactly what Jon fears, the historical county of Talon made a brave sacrifice in resisting the invasion of the Scourge, but in the end did not escape the fate of destruction, and this is exactly why!

The location of this town is really poor, and with the Eastern Plague Land already under the control of the undead, they can't escape at all, and can only fight the trapped beasts!

Mayor Redpass's face was embarrassed, and he pondered for a moment before he spoke, "Lord Mills, what you said is actually quite reasonable...... But Tarong is our hometown, and we have lived here for hundreds of years, from our ancestors to us......"

"What's worse is that it's still early autumn, and most of the grain in the fields has not been harvested, which is the biggest asset for most of the townspeople in our town......

"Mayor Mare, life is always more important than possessions...... Jon still tried to reassure.

Mayor Redpass wants to say something!

Suddenly, a paladin with a silver hand ran over and reported, "Mayor Redpass! Mistress Mills! The undead, and a large number of undead are beginning to assemble a few miles away from Talonshire! ”

Redpass and Jon turned pale and ran out with the paladin.

……

Unlike the militia, the knights of the Silver Hand did not rest, they still stuck to their posts, watching the movements of the undead and guarding the civilians in the town.

Sure enough, when the sky was dark, they found that the army of the undead began to assemble in the distance, ready to attack.

All the fighters were awakened from their sleep, and ten minutes later, under the leadership of Mayor Redpass, the militiamen quickly returned to their combat posts one by one.

"Mr. Mills!" Davey Croford nodded at Jon, who had not rested all night and was now looking a little tired.

"How many undead are there?" Jon asked with a solemn expression.

"A little more than yesterday, and it's not just the ghouls, there are a lot of skeleton warriors equipped with plate armor, and a couple of giant stitch monsters......" Croford put down the telescope in his hand.

Jon nodded, and a mantra-endurance blessed the paladin, helping him regain a little strength.

In the distance, the black tide began to slowly sway towards Talon.

"Everyone, get ready to fight!" Mayor Redpass shouted to the militia as the undead drew nearer.

This time the undead attack seemed to be much more orderly than the previous ones, they were no longer charging towards the human front in a swarm, but formed an orderly formation.

At the front of the line were skeletal warriors with shields, and the militiamen used bows and arrows to fire several rounds, and there were few casualties to the undead.

"Wait, what's that......" Croford's face suddenly changed, and he exclaimed, "It's a death knight, damn it!" ”

The Death Knight is a terrifying creature resurrected by Prodmore's lichs, who are often powerful paladins in their lifetimes, resurrected by psychic spells and blessed with dark magic, becoming the most powerful minions of the Scourge Legion!

In addition to his individual combat prowess, the Death Knight also possesses powerful dark spells and the ability to control an army of the undead!

Although it had only been a few months since the Scourge invaded the Eastern Plague Lands, both the militia and the paladins had already heard of the power of this thing, and their faces were a little ugly.

Unexpectedly, the Scourge actually sent a death knight to attack Talon County!

"Marduk......" Crofod said with some sadness, the Death Knight was once his comrade-in-arms!

"Croford, my friend!" Death knight Marduk stepped out from under the flank of ghouls and skeleton warriors, and walked dozens of yards away from the human position: "Stop resisting in vain, look at me, look at the great power that my new master has given me...... Surrender to us, and you will ......"

Suddenly, the Death Knight was stunned.

Because a powerful holy light enveloped him, making his body unable to move.

Death Knight Marduk would never have imagined that there would be such a powerful priest in the front line of Talon County.

Bound the undead!

"Attack!" Jon in the position commanded in a low voice.

Croford naturally knew that this was a golden opportunity, and he did not hesitate to mount his war horse and rush out, along with several brave paladins.

One by one, holy Shingrum-Shields appeared on Croford and several paladins, sheltering them.

Croford had already relied on the powerful impact of his horse to reopen the cover of the skeleton warrior and reach the immobile death knight Marduk.

"The Light will purify you!" He shouted angrily.

Warhammers rained down from the sky and smashed the Death Knight's head to pieces.

The previously neat and orderly undead front quickly became chaotic, and it was obvious that only under the leadership of the Death Knight could they appear a little orderly.

Mayor Redpass had already led the militia to rush over. (To be continued.) )
