―――――― back to the third person――――――

The light of Elune, the goddess of the moon, sprinkled over the land of New Avalon.

It's now the fourth day since the Scourge undead stormed Havenshire, and with the support of the Scarlet fleet on the coastline, New Avalon has held off the ensuing undead army offensive.

However, no one knows how long they will be able to hold out, relying on the slaughter of the entire Haven County to get the source of troops, the Scourge Legion's offensive is continuous, even if it is supported by artillery fire, but there is still a floating city in the sky above Haven County.

As long as the floating city is not destroyed, then the Scourge Legion's offensive will never end.

In order to support the battle on the front line, the Scarlet Crusaders had to drain most of the troops in the city, and even the elite troops stationed in the Scarlet Castle had to pull most of them to the front line, and there were few remaining guards in the castle.

"A change of guard, a change of guard!"

"Is it time for the Changing of the Guard?" The soldier in front of the door glanced at his colleague who had come out of the castle, compared it with the person he remembered, and decisively moved away from where he was standing.

"Ahh The soldier yawned, "That's hard work for you, by the way, be careful, although this is a safe area." But there were not many troops left to support the front. ”

"Don't be sure those natural disasters will come here to wreak havoc!"

"Alright, who's coming! The skeletons had been shattered by the naval fleet's artillery, and this was the rear again, unless the dead were impatient and wanted to be purified sooner. ”

"I mean those cursed believers," the soldier said helplessly, "I really don't know if those fools have the IQ or not, tomorrow the Scourge Legion are all damned undead, but one by one they are willing to get eternal life after joining, but the doglegs of the Scourge Legion." ”

"Isn't it! Why are these guys so ghostly? ”

"Who said no, I heard that not long ago, it was those cursed believers who fanned those ignorant civilians to go to the city hall to make trouble, giving an undead who had a chance to sneak in, and infiltrated and assassinated Mayor Kuibi." Saying this, the soldier sighed, "What a good person Mayor Kuibi is! It's a pity that he was killed because of this incident, although later the priests caught the undead and found out the cursed cultist hiding in the crowd on the spot, but Mayor Kuibi ....... Alas! ”

"It's impossible, those cultists are coming to attack the castle, right?"

"Who knows, the cultists who are stupid enough to turn into those bloodthirsty undead are some madmen, and while I don't think those madmen are really going to attack here, it's always right to be careful!"

"Okay, okay, I know, it's so late, you go and rest first!"

――――Standing guard――――

Roque joined the Scarlet Crusade in the year of Lordaeron's collapse, and of course, like the vast majority of those who joined, harbored a hatred of the Scourge.

His greatest wish now was to one day be favored by the Light and become a paladin to kill the undead, but years had passed, and the Light showed no sign of favoring him, so he was frustrated.

Roque's ancestors had always lived in East Lordaeron, what is now the Eastern Plague Lands, and if nothing else, he thought that he would live a life as a peasant like his ancestors, living a dull and happy life.

However, all this was shattered by the arrival of the natural disaster, which was the day when the dead crawled out of the cemetery, and the plague spread everywhere, and it was an end of the world. He had to flee his homeland, and the fallen Prince of Arthas led his army of the undead to slaughter all those living in Lordaeron.

He fled for a long time until he was finally rescued by the Scarlet Crusaders, the High Lord Alexandros Mograini, the former Ember Bringer, who joined the Scarlet Crusaders ever since, eager to one day become a glorious paladin.

However, his dream has not been realized to this day.

......

Call.... A gust of wind blew, and a figure appeared in front of Roque.

"Who!" Roque, who was standing guard, shouted when he saw this, drew his long sword, and the other soldiers who came to stand guard with him also drew their weapons at the same time, staring nervously at the person in front of him.

"Don't be nervous, soldier!" A crisp voice rose up, and the figure walked up to Roque, who could see his face in the firelight.

Long silver hair draped over his shoulders, blue and clear eyes, a beautiful face, a red robe, a brown cloak, and a long staff inlaid with crystals in his hand.

A beautiful female mage, Roque swore to the Holy Light that he had never seen such a beautiful person, not even the haughty female elves he had ever seen, but not the same as the lady in front of him, let alone in such an environment in the middle of the night.

"Don't be nervous, soldier." The female mage opened her mouth and said to Roque, and the crisp voice was like moving music in Roque's ears, which made people can't help but indulge. "I'm coming back from the front, and I have important information to report to Commander Lord Roddick."

"Oh, oh, oh!" For some reason, Roque suddenly felt a little confused, and the thought that he had to obey all the orders of the beautiful female mage in front of him took root in his heart. He immediately stepped out of the way and put his sword back.

"Here, ma'am!" He turned to the soldiers who were also on guard, "Don't lay down your arms, you fools, do you want to be rude in front of a respectable lady?" People are just here to repay the military situation, not only those who curse the believers! ”

The other soldiers hurriedly withdrew their weapons and quickly moved out of the way.

"Come on, ma'am, this way, please!" Roque made a gesture of please, "Don't see it, the next rough man will lead the way." ”

"It's okay, it's my pleasure, Mr. Soldier!" The female mage's answer made Roque feel excited, and although he didn't know why, he now thought he could do anything, even death, for the sake of this nobody in front of him.

Roque took the lead and led the mage into the castle.

But what he didn't see was. After he turned, the female mage had an elegant smile on her face, and whispered to the soldiers standing aside, in a voice he could not hear:

"You're just standing guard today, no one is coming, your captain is just leaving for a while, please forget everything you see and hear later, good!"

The soldiers standing on the sidelines, their eyes blank, their faces full of confusion, did not move.

When Roque walked into the castle with the female mage who had come to visit late at night, and no one was seen again, the soldiers spoke together in a slow tone:

"As you wish, Your Excellency!"
