Act XXXIV: Knights of the Apocalypse IX

Locke has never forgotten the final fate of Riptide Castle in history, the ogre and Hindgar occupied Riptide respectively, because Prince Garin's conservative xenophobic policy made Riptide Castle have no economic system to maintain Riptide Castle's arms, and in the continuous war, Prince Garin finally died in a troll as a result, drawing a perfect end to the Torbain family.

The eventual destruction of Fort Riptide seems to have been due to the rise of the Scourge and the attacks of the Horde, but it was not Prince Garin's fault that the last stronghold of humanity in the north was finally destroyed.

The weakening of Fort Riptide has directly led to the smooth development of the Forsaken, and if Fort Riptide still has a little strength, it may not be able to suppress Sylvanas in the United Kingdom of Gilneth.

Locke's thoughts flashed, and the situation at the moment did not allow him to think too much.

Laurena trembled and walked to Locke's side, she didn't know when she put on a rainproof cloak, her face was still pale, and a milky white holy light bloomed in her hand, and placed it on Locke's hand.

"Sir, the dark power in you is too strong." Laurena looked down at Locke's palm: "Riptide Castle is a brilliant treasure in human history, and it was also passed down to ...... by the previous kings of Riptide Castle"

Locke waved his hand, he knew what Laurena meant, if this old castle was damaged, it would not be repaired in a short time, and as Laurena said, this was a treasure of mankind. Considering the refugees of Lordaeron in the future, I am afraid that this kind of ancient fort will have to be rebuilt again.

"I promise you to protect this castle as much as possible while ensuring the safety of our soldiers." Locke replied, then looked at the Riptide Legion behind him.

These soldiers were all soldiers who had taken refuge in Laurina, and there were about three hundred of them. Locke's plan was simple, not just to retreat, but also to bring down all the forces of Riptide Castle, because he had sent the Berserker Potion to High Priest of Lane, which made this plan feasible.

Troll berserkers aren't just humans to fight.

Although the Fort Riptide Legion did have several thousand.

A strong aura of death hung over Locke's cheeks, and he rode on a restless horse, surrounded by ghouls, ghouls, skeletons, and a ghost, and a dark air flow lingered on the blood-red blade of the Destroyer of Worlds, and the frenzied wind and rain drifted around him.

"Break through, before the enemy's encirclement network is formed."

………………

The dim candlelight seemed to be extinguished in the next moment, and Sir Serrijk, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, looked out the window with a deep heart, and although the darkness covered everything, he could still see everything beneath the castle.

He frowned, and the battle below Riptide began to change again, first Locke led the army to break through the city gate, and then the sound of the prince of Riptide Castle mobilizing his army, and looking down from here, it was clear that Locke had fled far away.

Although the brazier in Riptide Castle was either extinguished or faintly extinguished, Ser Seryrk found that the terrifying blue dragon had disappeared from Riptide Castle.

If there were no accidents, then the victory would have belonged to Prince Garin, after all, Fort Riptide had good cavalry, and those light cavalry could quickly catch up with Locke's army, and then there would be a massacre.

No infantry could resist the pursuing hussars after a long trek.

"Knock Knock"

There was a knock on the wooden door of the house, which made Sir Sirjek slightly stunned, who would knock on the door at this time.

He stood up and walked to the wooden door in two steps, "Who is it?"

"It's me, Prince Garin's staff, and Prince Garin called me this time."

A hoarse voice came from behind the wooden door. Ser Serijek nodded, and opened the wooden door.

Behind the wooden door was a man in a black robe, his face was pale and terrifying, and he raised his head, "Sir Serrijek, Prince Garin asked me to tell you a top-secret order. ”

Seryek nodded, although he didn't know what the top secret was, but the news that the southern nobles liked to hide his head and show his tail still made him hear a little, he nodded and said, "What is the secret?" ”

"That is." A hideous smile appeared on the black-robed man's face: "You must die." ”

Click.

A dagger appeared from the black-robed man's hand and stabbed into Seriyak's chest, hot blood gushing out of his heart, picking up the black-robed man's face, making the black-robed man with a hideous face smile: "One more material." ”

"The paladins of the Silver Knights are the real good material."

Sir Serijek pointed at Curran tremblingly, unable to say a word, if he hadn't been injured before, how could he have been attacked by this black-robed man. There were so many memories in his mind.

Parents, the Silver Knights, and the shadow in the dream.

"I won't let you go......," shouted Sir Seriyak with the last of his strength. But it was too late, and after he uttered these words with all his strength, his body inevitably fell backwards, and the last sound he heard in his ears was Curran's sneer.

"You will become immortal in another way."

……………………

The torrential rain gradually slowed down, and the frantic air currents slowly weakened as the raindrops decreased, leaving only the wind of the grass swaying. Locke was at the forefront, and the artifact in his hand served as a street lamp in the dark.

"Hurry up, it's only safe for us to reach the Elemental Tepe before the place reacts." Locke's voice echoed through the troops, intensifying the emotions of many soldiers.

The muddy ground in the Arathi Heights after the rainstorm made it even more difficult for the already heavily armored Riptide Fort soldiers to walk, and with every step they took, their feet would sink into the mud and they would not be able to pull out.

Locke saw the situation in his eyes, and the vanguard of Riptide Castle might be coming, if not sooner.

There will be a massacre here.

An unimaginable slaughter, the light cavalry harvested these heavy infantry who had worked all night with great ease. Blood will stain the land red, and corpses will be everywhere.

"Zurkin, here we come."

The sound of the forest troll sounded in the darkness, which lifted the relaxed spirit of the human soldiers, and they all nervously held the weapons in their hands, waiting for the forest troll to attack.

Laurena nervously walked to Locke's side, she had already heard rumors of trolls, and in northern tales, forest trolls were often depicted as man-eating monsters who often attacked humans for hunting.

Everyone saw Locke raise his hand, and then said calmly, "The forest trolls are not your enemies, they are our allies. ”

This sentence caused an uproar among the people, and this shocking words caused everyone to start talking in whispers, but Peter always had a smile on his face.

Locke waited for a while, and waited until the soldiers finished talking before he said slowly, "Including the ogres, they are all our allies and friends of Riptide Castle. ”

This time, the soldiers were not given a chance to think, because the sound of horses' hooves in the rear raised the vigilance of many soldiers, and compared to the forest trolls, Prince Garin's cavalry vanguard was their henchman.

"Assign all XP to the Death Knight"

"The level of the Death Knight is level 10, and your strength is increased by 5, agility by 1, and constitution by 4."

"You will unlock the talents, and you will have the following talents to choose from, Blood, Evil, Frost."

"Evil."

Locke said calmly, and an emerald green light rose from the bottom of his feet, then flew around Locke, and finally vanished.
