Chapter 159: Dawn of the Blood Rider
The news of the imminent evacuation had reached everyone in Talonshire, and the whole town was suddenly in a tense hustle and bustle, and all the townspeople were preparing to evacuate. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
There is a limit to what each person can bring, and the dozens of wagons and mule carts in the town are only allowed to place food and fresh water except for the wounded, after all, I don't know how far we have to go along the way, and I don't know if there is a water source that has not been polluted by the plague!
Mayor Redpass prepared a large package in which he and his daughter's essentials were placed.
"Pamela, come out, we're going on a long journey!" He shouted.
"Daddy, wait a minute...... "After two minutes, the little girl ran out with a gray cloth bag.
"What is this?" Mayor Mareen couldn't help but frown.
"I'm going to take her away!" Pamela Redpass grinned as she pulled a doll out of the cloth bag.
Mayor Mare sighed, "Pamela, can we leave it behind, we only have a limited amount of things we can bring...... Dad will buy you a new doll and wait until we get to a safe place......"
"No!" The little girl shook her head stubbornly, and then hugged the doll tightly: "I can't leave her here, or those undead will definitely tear it to pieces when they come...... She's going to hurt a lot! ”
Looking at his daughter's stubborn eyes, Mayor Redpass looked helpless: "Okay, put it in my bag, Dad will help you carry it!" ”
……
Jon sat quietly in his room.
It was getting dark, and the agreed half-day assembly time was coming, but he had no intention of getting up!
After waiting for a few more minutes, he suddenly heard a slight noise in the back room, and then the young girl came out, her face a little pale.
Jon looked her up and down and asked, "How about hurry?" ”
"I ......" Marlan looked down at his hands, a faint light surging between them.
A red weapon was thrown from Jon's hand, and Marlan caught it.
It was a spear, a blood-red spear, and the workmanship was very fine.
"This is what I asked Mayor Redpass for, do you think it fits?" Jon explained.
Marlan swung the spear lightly, and it felt great to hold it, it felt like a ...... It's very natural!
Marlan tightened her grip on the weapon, and a thick burst of light enveloped the entire spear, and she slashed it into a table at hand with a little force, slicing it in half cleanly!
Jon nodded, this is actually the so-called combat talent...... In other words, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't combine the power of the Holy Light with weapons so easily!
As Saratas commented, the girl was a natural war machine.
Marlan was also a little surprised by the power she suddenly possessed.
"I guess if it's an undead head, you can easily smash it!" Jon commented with a smile.
Marlan glanced at Jon gratefully, and fell to one knee on the ground: "Lord Mills...... Thank you for your kindness, and Marlan is willing to serve you in this life! ”
As she spoke, she took off the bracelet in her right hand, she didn't need this anymore!
Jon stood up, "Let's go, we're about to go!" ”
He went into the back room, and now he was going to take Muru back!
……
In the early morning of the next day, the mighty army had already embarked on the journey.
The militiamen, together with the various old, weak, sick and disabled of Talon, totaled about two thousand people, and they were not marching fast!
Many of the Knights of the Silver Hand have been sent to patrol miles away, and if they find any traces of the undead, they need to report back as soon as possible!
Jon also followed the troops, occasionally using the methods to boost the tired crowd and boost their morale so that they could move on faster.
"Mistress Mills, Mistress Cloverd!" A Silver Hand scout hurried back and reported, "A small group of undead has been spotted in the northwest, heading towards us!" ”
Jon and Croford's faces suddenly changed: "How many undead?" ”
"There aren't many of them, just a few dozen ghouls and a dozen or so undead warriors...... But if they keep going, they're going to run into our big army! ”
Most of the large army are ordinary civilians, and I am afraid that there will be great losses when encountering these undead.
"I'll bring people over and destroy them at once!" Croford mounted his warhorse.
"Marlan!" Jon suddenly looked at the girl beside him.
Marlan nodded, picked up the spear Jon had given her, and mounted a warhorse.
The paladin was stunned: "This ......"
"Let Marlan come with you!" Jon explained, "She's not weak! ”
Croford nodded perfunctorily, in his opinion, how strong can this seemingly thin girl be? But he didn't stop the girl from following him.
The two of them led a dozen knights of the Silver Hand and quickly stopped the group of undead.
Croford rode in front: "Miss Marlan, you will wait behind us, don't ......"
But before he could finish speaking, the girl had already rushed forward on her warhorse, and her eyes were full of anger.
These abominable creatures killed her family and destroyed her homeland...... And now, she has the power to fight them, and she wants revenge!
The light shrouded Marlan, and she clenched the spear in her hand.
Wielding her spear wantonly, Marlan felt like she was slicing tofu at the undead creatures...... They are simply vulnerable to their own power.
An undead corpse collapsed in front of her.
The paladins of Croford and the Silver Hand stared blankly at everything in front of them, and it took a few seconds to react.
Croford coughed twice and ordered, "Quick, attack!" ”
……
The dawn sun shone on the ground, and the corpses of the undead stood out here.
"Miss Marlan, you are a ...... A warrior! Croford stammered.
He wanted to talk about the butcher, but he felt that it was a bit inappropriate to evaluate a girl in this way.
Marlan suddenly let out a violent cough, and then a mouthful of blood spat out of her mouth.
"What, are you hurt?" Croford asked with concern.
Marlan shook her head and wiped the blood from the corners of her mouth: "It's okay, let's go back!" ”
Mistress Mills has long said that harnessing the power of the Light in this way will inevitably bear its backlash, and this will be the price he will pay at any time.
But seeing the corpses of the undead in that place, Marlan felt that it was worth it! (To be continued.) )
