Chapter 93: Fight for You, My Lady!
(Thanks to the Husky for a bit of a two's 500 tip!) )
"Renault, hold on! Don't let the undead rush in! Not a single one! ”
"Darien, don't be reckless! You're not a paladin yet! Hide behind your brother's back! Drag back the seriously wounded soldiers! Bandage the wound! Treat wounds with holy water! Sprinkle it on the dead! Don't bring them back to life as the dead! ”
"Miss Sally, heal the soldiers! Don't worry about minor injuries! Treat the dying! What the? Running out of holy water? Damn, I knew it was going to be like this! ”
"Lillian, the ghoul is up to you! You are not required to kill it! Just drag it off! ”
"Miss Bridgette, join me in killing that disgusting abomination!"
This is the Firestone Farm in the western part of Andorhal, one of the largest farms in the entire Daron Mill region. The grain harvested here feeds two-thirds of the inhabitants of Andorhar, and it has to be transported to the Valley of the Hearth and Lordaeron to feed many more!
Every year in the food war, this farm is a top priority. The Barov family and several other wealthy and powerful families will engage in a battle over the Feldstone Farm.
But this year, it's no longer possible.
Andohar was the epicenter of the plague, and all the farms in the vicinity were "cared for" by Kel'thugad himself, and most of the food that could meet the needs of 30,000 people was infected with the plague, and only a few granaries were "neglected".
This year, the grain production of the whole Lordaeron has been reduced by at least 60%, and the food hoarded in previous years has become a lifesaver. The Valley of the Hearth, in the north, is a large city after Lordaeron and Stratholme, with 50,000 inhabitants in the city, and the daily consumption of food is an astronomical amount, so naturally it is impossible to miss any uncontaminated food.
Lordaeron also needs food supplies from the Tirisfal Glades, and the Valley of the Hearth can't count on anything, so it's on its own!
Ten days ago, the Grand Lord Tirio Ferdin, who had returned to the Hearthvale, issued an order, requiring the Hearthvale troops to protect the uncontaminated food as much as possible while clearing the undead, and find ways to transport it to the Hearthvale to relieve the urgent need.
Darsun Farms, Gallon Farms and Firestone Farms, the three largest farms in the region, are naturally a top priority.
The only son of the High Lord, the Paladin recruit "Tyran Ferdin" of the Silver Hand Knights, took the initiative to request to go to the farthest away Ferrstone Farm to deliver food, which was allowed by the High Lord and supported by several small partners.
Along the way, they did show great combat effectiveness, but at Firestone Farm, they were besieged by a large number of undead, bringing with them 20 members of the Knights of the Silver Hand and 300 recruits from Hearthvale, who suffered heavy casualties and had few left.
One of them, an elite ghoul, and an abomination, and a necromancer hiding in the shadows, make them miserable and difficult to deal with.
The necromancer, who was never seen, summoned thousands of undead around him!
The fence of the farm could not stop these abominable undead, and they now had to stand in the improvised fortifications built by the farm laborers, desperately resisting!
"Are we going to die here?" The eldest, Renault, roared and slashed a skeleton crawling out of the grave with a sword: "I don't want to die!" ”
He is the eldest son of the Grand Lord of the Abbey of Tirisfa, Alessandros Mograine, and the titular first in line to the throne. Although his father prefers his younger brother Darian, he only envy his younger brother and has no grudges, and he has been doing his best to attract his father's attention, and he has also been appreciated by his father many times.
He doesn't want to die yet! He wants to be as great a knight as his father!
What's more, he doesn't want to watch the woman behind him die, he must protect her!
"Fight for you, my lady!"
Sally Whitemane, the adopted daughter of the High Lord Mograine, is two years younger than Renault, and the relationship between Renault is extraordinary, they are a pair of lovers, one heroic and the other beautiful.
As a devout holy priest, Sally strives to use her Light energy to heal wounded soldiers. Because the holy water they brought had been depleted, the paladins had to fight with all their might, and they couldn't spare time, and now they could only rely on her strength.
Because she was the only surviving pastor among them! The other two priests who came with her are now dead and turned into corpses!
Suddenly, she saw Renault, who was fighting in front of her, who was scratched on the shoulder by a ghoul, a piece of flesh had fallen off, and blood flowed, and she hurriedly raised the priest's staff in her hand:
"Heal, my warrior!"
Bridget Abydis, the only daughter of the Grand General of the Silver Hand Knights "Alfred Abydis", a rare female paladin, and a powerful mid-level paladin!
She is not very old, but she has a tough personality and is even more like a man than Renault.
With a shield in one hand and an axe in the other, Brigitte has been very heroic, she has already killed the 13th zombie and the 17th skeleton, as well as 3 ghouls, even Renault and Tylan can't compare to her!
But now, she's wounded, her shield is blown away by the abomination of chains and flesh hooks, and her left arm is bloody and almost broken! But she still endured the severe pain, and together with Tyran, fought against the three-meter-tall abomination!
"Don't want to pass through me! Disgusting abomination! Unless you kill me! ”
Tyran Ferdin, a strong man.
Although he was still young, he had to take care of his mother during the year that his father was gone, and he had to work hard to learn combat skills and pray to the Light every day. On top of that, he served as lord and consul of the Valley of the Hearth during his father's absence, with countless things to attend to every day.
All of this made him mature quickly, far more mature than other friends.
In the face of the terrible abomination, Tyran once again raised the hammer in his hand and called out to the Light:
"If I bring you out, I will bring you back alive!"
Lillian vanished again, then suddenly appeared, the dagger in her hand piercing the elite ghoul's head accurately, and then quickly moving away before the ghoul turned to attack.
At Jiang Zai's orders, she returned to the Tirisfal Glade, but within a few days she was taken to the Valley of the Hearth by the one-armed teacher Invar, and then joined Tyran's brigade.
"Damn ghouls!" Lillian weaves through several undead spirits, kicking a skeleton away with a single kick.
The undead have no weaknesses, they are not afraid of cutting their throats, they are not afraid of muffling sticks, they will not bleed, and many of the skills of thieves cannot be used.
That elite ghoul didn't have as much reflexes and speed as her, but it just couldn't be killed. She had to admit that when facing the undead, the combat power of a warrior or paladin was stronger than that of a thief!
Most importantly, she is a thief who focuses on sharpness and assassination, not a battle thief who excels at head-on confrontations!
"Brother Nicholas, maybe I'll never see you again!" Lilian muttered to herself and looked up to the west, which was the direction of Lordaeron, the direction of Brother Nicholas.
Then her eyes widened instantly, because she saw a griffin!
It doesn't matter.
The important thing is that she has excellent eyesight, and she saw that on the griffin, there is also a person covered in gray-black leather armor, and two daggers are clenched in both hands!
Although the man's face was obscured by a gray-black veil, she still recognized the other party at a glance, so tears welled up in her eyes at this moment:
"Brother Nicholas, you're here!"
