"They're flesh and blood—no match for the Scourge Legion, are they, Belmont!" Standing next to the burning Red Flame Chapel, Preflast kicked the priest's corpse at his feet, looking bloodthirsty. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Perhaps!" Hugh replied absentmindedly, "But at least, they're warriors, aren't they!" They may not be able to fight us, but they have always insisted on fighting us, even if it is a dead end! ”

"So, we have to give these warriors what they deserve!" Preflast laughed and clapped his hands, motioning for the other Death Knights to take the corpses on the ground away, "They did their duty during their lifetime, so after death, they don't want to change their allegiance and continue their loyalty!" ”

......

It's the seventh day of the Scourge attacking New Avalon, and after seven days of fighting, the Scarlet Crusaders are finally unable to hold the walls. After losing Roddick, the commander of the war, the Scarlet Crusaders were at a disadvantage.

The Supreme Commander, General Abydis, made the decision to evacuate the entire city, and evacuated all the citizens and troops who remained in New Avalon from the sea through the ships of the fleet commander, Captain Sheré, from the sea.

However, the High Lord Darien Mograini noticed this, and as the Scarlet Crusade retreated, the army was overwhelmed. All the ghouls were mobilized to attack New Avalon, while the few remaining gargoyles were sent to harass the fleets at sea and stop the Scarlet Crusaders from withdrawing.

At the critical juncture, General Abydis had to make the decision to abandon part of the army and the citizens who had not yet withdrawn from the city, and gathered most of the remaining troops to the bloody cliffs, relying on the terrain to resist the attack of natural disasters and buy time for evacuation.

In desperation, the Scarlet Crusaders who remained in the city inflicted heavy losses on the forces of the Scourge Legion. However, the commander-in-chief Mograine didn't care about this, the elite of the Scourge Legion was not fully engaged in the battlefield, and the biggest loss was only the corpses that were revived after the defeat of Haven County.

Unable to break through the defenses of the Scarlet Cliffs in the first place, Mograine did not use all his strength, but instead scattered the forces of the Scourge Legion throughout the city to exterminate the remaining living people.

As the commander of the Knights of the Black Blade, Preflast was ordered to lead a group of Death Knights to extinguish the resistance of the Chapel of the Crimson Flame.

The battle was soon over, and the chapel priests and soldiers were unable to put up an effective resistance, and there was not a single survivor left, and all of them were strangled and killed.

And Hugh, who had not been able to return to the fortress to replenish because of the loss of the rune sword, followed Preflast to the chapel when he was idle. At least be able to provide spell support, that's Prefest's exact words.

In fact, there was no rest in the battle, and Preflast and his Death Knights easily broke through the remaining resistance, rushed into the chapel, and launched a bloody slaughter. This battle started faster and ended even faster.

Hugh Belmont: "If there's nothing to do, I'll go back to the fort first!" ”

"No, no, no, wait a minute, my brother!" Preflast stopped Hugh, who was about to leave, and gave him a cruel smile. "As a soldier, it was my commander's failure to come in handy in battle, so I left you a little compensation."

"I'm not interested!"

"No, trust me, you're interested!" Preface smiled and pointed to the building next to the chapel, "Do you see that house?" I thought it was the same as the underground prison of the castle, oh, where poor Kurdila was tortured for days! ”

"But after I broke through here, I went to take a look and found that it was a little different from what I thought!"

"We didn't find any detained brothers there, but well, we found something special."

"Something you'll be interested in! I have left it to you, after all, for a poor lady who has not lived long ago, how can she have a little gentlemanly demeanor, and let her kindred give her a ride, I think this is the best gift. ”

Hugh frowned, looking at Preface with a gloomy smile on his face, and a cold feeling that came from more than nowhere, welled up in his heart. There was a deep sense of unease that surrounded his thoughts. After contemplating three, Hugh turned and walked towards the house that Preface was referring to.

"Hurry up, Belmont, and when you give that lady a ride, we'll go back together to get back to the High Lord!"

Ignoring Preface's words, Hugh walked step by step to the front of the house, stretched out his hand, hesitated, and finally pushed open the door of the house and walked in.

It was cold and damp, the air was filled with the smell of mold, the old bed, the even more tattered quilt, it was hard to believe that this room next to a chapel looked so tattered.

However, Hugh's eyes were drawn to a figure sitting on the edge of a bed.

It was an elf, a living elf, a female elf with short orange hair.

For some reason, the elf gave Hugh a very familiar feeling, as if he and she hadn't seen each other for a long time, and a sense of joy welling up in him at the reunion of an old friend.

It turned out to be her! Ionis, it looks like she's not in a good state right now!

The voice in his heart rang out, as if he were telling an ordinary matter, and said:

Give her a ride, as Preface said, she won't live long, just an acquaintance, help her!

Who is she? Hugh questioned. But the voice was muffled again, and did not respond to Hugh's question.

Hugh, who had not received an answer, walked over to the elf and came to her side.

"The Death Knight of the Scourge?" The female elf looked out the window and asked without looking back, "Are you here on a mission?" Do it! ”

"You...... Who are you? After much hesitation, Hugh opened his mouth to ask the elf a question.

"Who am I to focus on?" The elf raised her hand, stripped her hair from her ear, and looked back at Hugh, "Do you killing machines have a self?" Look me in the eye ......"

The female elf was stunned!

"You, you, you......" trembling her body, the female elf looked at Hugh standing in front of her in disbelief, tears groomed in the corners of her eyes, "You are...... Belmont? ”

"I am, but, ma'am, who are you? I seem to know you? ”

"I recognize your face...... "The female elf struggled to reach out and grabbed Hugh's arm, leaning her weak body against Hugh's body. ...... Belmont..... cough cough cough ..... They're ....... What did they all do to you, Belmont? Looking at the soul fire in Hugh's eyes, and the armor he was wearing, the female elf sat down on the bed weakly, covered her mouth and cried quietly.

"What the hell are you ....... Woo! Hugh covered his head, and for some reason some messy images flashed in his eyes, some of which he didn't know at all, but were familiar. Among them, there is the impression of the female elf in front of me.

"Are you, Ionis........"

"Don't you remember me?" Elf, no, Ionis looked up, looking at Hugh's changing face. "Damn the Scourge Legion....... They....... No...... Belmont, think about it, your memories, think about the magnificent halls of Silvermoon City, that's your hometown! ”

"And ...... Also, we've met before, we're friends! Belmont! You're in front of you...... It's not really you. ”

"No, you must ask the Lich King for control, Belmont, and I believe you still have good intentions in your heart. Come back, Belmont! Don't become a pawn of the Lich King and rebel against his control. ”

"What's wrong?" Outside, Preflast shouted, "Why have you been here for so long, Belmont?" ”

"I see," Ionis said to be looking at Hugh, a beautiful smile on her tearful face, "I...... I can't hold it anymore. This is a predestined fate. Seeing you again is goodbye, kill me, Belmont, or we will all die. It would be better to die by the plague than to die by your hands......"

"However, I believe that you can break free from the Lich King's control, you fought for Silvermoon City, and I believe that you will, once again, find your heart."

"Let's do it! Belmont! Let me be free! ”
