Chapter 584: The Promised Land (19)
"It's disgusting!"
A priest pinched his nose and took a few steps back, and was about to vomit his dinner when he saw his companion poking at the foul-smelling mass of carrion and stumps with a twig. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"It doesn't look like a ghoul did it...... Are there any other undead? The paladin threw away the branch in his hand and stood up to himself and walked around the scene of the incident to observe clues, he wanted to find the footnote, but he was a paladin.
"Look at the broken swords and armor littered everywhere, these two unlucky ones must have been wiped out along with that patrol. It's disgusting! The damn undead actually tore them all to shreds...... It's really fragments. The priest pinched his nose and continued to retreat, but suddenly he screamed, and he stepped on the corpse of a ghoul, with a half-severed sword stuck in it.
"There's something wrong with the wounds on these undead...... "The paladin continued to check, ghouls and zombies as if they had died from swords and warhammers, "all wounds are plausible, regardless of angle or depth...... It's too plausible, it's too unreal, I don't believe that after being attacked by a horde of undead, the warriors of the patrol can calm down to this point, priest, what do you think? ”
"Hey, I have a name." The priest looked impatient, "These patrolling soldiers fight the undead four or five times a month, and it's not a big deal if they don't mess up, not everyone is like you, hiding in the barracks every day and polishing their armor to a bright one!" ”
"What did you say!" The paladin had apparently forgotten the mission of the investigation, and he drew his shiny sword and slashed the dead ghoul in front of him in two, as if to prove his bravery, "What use do you have but to kneel in front of the altar and doze off!" ”
…… Loria couldn't bear to watch any longer, she watched from a distance as the two fools almost fought, but finally they didn't, and left scolding each other.
Hmph, that will buy you a lot of time...... Every minute counts, and it should be set up before it catches the attention of the Hearth Valley, and it is as fast as the wind! Let them see the surprise that their friends on the other side of the mountain bring to them.
Everyone has a field of expertise, and she asks for it, and the officers who have been immersed in military affairs for many years devise the details for her and implement them.
The Crusaders of Hearthvale may be just as strong, but they are led by inquisitors who are ignorant of military affairs, and now that the Lich King is temporarily on retreat, the Scourge of the Western Plaguelands is unorganized, and a fully regular patrol and defensive line may be able to stop and warn of small incursions of the Scourge, but they are of little use against their fellow professional armies.
Humming an untuned song, Loria marched alone to the northwest, for it had taken her only two hours during the night to reach her intended place, a clearing under the hills surrounded by streams, a good place to camp, and a good place to ambush.
"Miss Commander."
Flamon observed the movement around her, spotted her early in the morning, and greeted her softly with the other four warriors.
"You're finally here!" Raul, who was shackled and his hands were shackled, thought that he did not get along well with Flamon, "I thought you were going to attack an armed patrol with five men. ”
Loria smiled and didn't answer, the moon was shining tonight, and he didn't notice that the pupils of the five people around him were slightly distorted.
"How?"
Loria lowered herself and hid herself in the rocks on the knoll, and before Flamon could reply, she saw the light of a fire in the distance.
"Laven's patrol stops here every time, either tonight or tomorrow morning." Everyone was nervous, except for Raul, who was far less eyesighted than them, who was still muttering, who had become very cooperative since seeing Loria's army, but the treatment had not changed - Flamon held him down and shoved a ball of cloth into his mouth.
Loria lay down among the rocks with great interest and watched the light of the fire grow from far and near, and watched it shine brightly in the distant clearing, and the soldiers lit a bonfire, and simply cooked some dried meat in an iron pot, and ate the dry bread in this soup.
She had not been able to bear to wait so long, but she had a strange feeling, as if she were a hunter in charge of everything, and she watched as the sentries left the camp and the others lay on the ground, and the sentries dozed off when the moon was obscured by the clouds.
"Catch them."
Loria gave the order, and Flamon and his men slid down the hill like ghosts, Raul whining, an agility that was clearly too incomprehensible for humans.
The vampires were so loyal to her that they even went so far as to be trained by the Grand Duke of the Vampires in Xueman, and the sentries were quickly knocked unconscious and dragged away, and they slipped into the camp again...... Instead of touching the soldiers, they extinguished the campfire and stole their weapons, and someone accidentally woke up a soldier, and the battle broke out in the darkness with fewer enemies, and soon it ended again, and a fish that escaped tried to escape, but was pierced through the thigh by an ice arrow flying in the darkness.
Not only here, but everywhere, a series of well-planned night raids took place in the Valley of the Hearth, and Ragnes sent back accurate information about the armament, and from those who dared to come to the Abbey to reinforce them, and Veshas tortured each other with answers from a prosecutor who had been accidentally captured. Based on this information, Loria's deployment easily infiltrated all parts of the Hearthvale, thanks to the fact that the Crusaders' defenses were set up to the south - they never expected to be attacked from behind.
"Okay, take them away quickly, go to the assembly point, a large-scale sneak attack will definitely be detected, and we must be ready for a head-on battle with the enemy's main force." Loria shoved Raul into the messy camp and motioned for Flamon to untie the latter's chains.
"Ha, aren't you afraid of my betrayal now?" After being unchained, Raul angrily threw the cloth in his mouth to the ground.
Red Moon showed her face from behind the clouds, and Loria said lightly: "You have proven your worth, and there is no way back. ”
Raul then noticed the hateful and angry gazes of the captives, the former friends.
……
Tyran held the painting, no longer holding back the tears that trickled down his eyes, it showed a man and a woman and a child strolling by the lake, he gently put the painting down, but never took his eyes off it.
"I've been a puppet for so long...... What made the Scarlet Crusaders something they fought so hard for? For decades, I have never lost a single trace of my father's memory, and these precious things have allowed me to continue to live in this world. He finally turned his gaze to the faces of the rest of the room, "Thank you for retrieving these treasures for me, I've been dreaming of my father a lot lately...... I don't want to dream anymore and take me to him. (To be continued.) )
