For the first time since its founding, Stormwind fell into confusion and confusion, and under the kicking of the officers, groups of soldiers quickly put on their equipment and rushed out of the barracks and into the streets, one whistle after another sounded in all directions of the city

Most of the civilians and merchants who had not experienced this at all, some stood still and watched the army as martial law began, and then they were not even told the reason for the soldiers to be rudely driven home, and those who were nimble enough to smell the unusual smell, took the initiative to hide, and even made preparations to flee

It's no wonder that most of Stormwind's population had migrated through the war, and if it weren't for the soldiers and knights who were just scrutinizing the streets and houses and not heading in the direction of the walls, they would have thought that a new war had started again......

Rita's tavern is located on the outskirts of the civilian quarter, remote and quiet, and most of the people who come here for recreation on weekdays are miserly coolies and porters, and even the well-paid soldiers look down on this environment except for Rhodes himself

Under this premise, the initial phase of the deployment of troops mainly for the main urban areas, noble districts, commercial areas and manufacturing areas was somewhat neglected here, of course, according to the efficiency of the army of Stormwind, the time left for Rhodes was definitely not sufficient

Stepping on the potholed gravel road, the exhaled haze formed a circle of white mist around Rod's head, and with the help of the dense paths in this area, he successfully shook off a large number of pursuers, even if he occasionally encountered a squad of soldiers patrolling along the way or a lone civilian, it was difficult to escape his killing......

Rhodes, who had finally reached his destination, was stunned as he gasped, and as if he didn't believe it, he pushed the closed tavern door hard, and the rough oak door let out a few twisted moans but didn't move

"Ah~~~"

Slamming his fist on the closed door, the dark room without any light came out of the darkness, which made Rhodes almost desperate, and time and physical strength did not allow him to explore the reason why the tavern was closed, and the despair and fierce light in his eyes were even more in his anxious mood

Looking left and right, Rod strode forward along the narrow road, in his memory there were still several poor families settled here, there was no other plan at all, he drew the big sword in his hand and split the door directly, and finally after emptying two houses in a row, Rod took out a middle-aged woman in a coarse cloth dress from the house at the end of the road

Ignoring the other party's begging gaze and squeezing body, Rhodes lifted the woman with one hand and pressed it against the clammy wall, and the pain of the opponent's neck bone was heard with the force of his thumb and forefinger

"Tell me slut, where did the girl who took care of the tavern next to her go every day?"

Seeing that the middle-aged woman was always howling in fear, Rhodes roared in impatience, and the giant sword grazed the other party's cheek and slammed into the wall, brushing shoulders with death, and the extreme fear made the woman almost unconscious

It's a pity that how could Rhodes give her a chance now, and she used her five fingers hard, and she didn't let go of her hand until the other party was almost suffocated and roared again

"Tell me, or die, I swear you're going to die, tell me where Rita went!!"

"Ahem...... Cough...... Ahem, Rita...... Rita, tavern from ...... From a long time ago during the day...... It's closed, Rita...... Tower she'll be going to ...... during these times."

"Where to go slut!!"

"To the Light...... Cathedral of the Holy Light, she said to be for a ...... Individual...... Prayer ......"

The last word came out, the middle-aged woman couldn't bear the fright and pain anymore, her head tilted and she fell into a coma, and after knowing the information she wanted, Rhodes let go of his hand and let the other party slide into the wet and cold snow, and his keen sense of hearing made him feel the approach of the army from the successive whistles

Without wasting any time, looking up to discern the direction of the next direction, Rod strode away again......

"There, stop him, stop or I'll ...... Ah~~"

On the stone bridge that crossed the river that crossed the entire city of Stormwind, and on the last stretch of the road to the Basilica of Light, Rhodes was finally spotted by the army, and two Knights of Dawn led a small group of soldiers right in front of his path

The champion swordsman, who had never experienced the flames of war, drew out his long sword and shield and just subconsciously shouted, and was cut into two pieces by the Rhodes who rushed directly with the shield without stopping

Unlike the infantry who were quickly slaughtered, the two Dawn Knights exchanged glances in an instant, and with the help of a short dash of their horses, they rushed towards Rhodes from both angles at the same time, while the spears in their hands with great close-range lethality were already showing their hideous fangs

"Whew~Whew~"

It wasn't until the horses rushed within five meters that the two Dawn Knights threw out at almost the same time, and Rod's efficient killing didn't even allow them to think about accidentally injuring their allies, as only a black figure stood on the ground except for a few corpses......

"Get out!"

In the face of the two stainless steel spears that shot at him, the giant sword in Rhodes' hand went up and knocked one of them directly, and at the same time, his body was slightly sideways, and with a roar, his left hand directly grabbed the other one

The unpleasant noise made by the friction of the spear with the strong impact and his metal hand armor, but the spear that had exhausted the kinetic energy finally stopped in the palm of his hand, facing the knight who had already drawn half of the saber at hand, the corner of Rod's mouth crossed a smirk of disdain, and he threw his backhand, and the spear pierced the chest of the knight on the left faster than when it came, and the remaining impact force also brought him off the horse

Just as the other knight was about to let out a roar of rage at the death of his companion, Rhodes, who was holding a sword in both hands, used his feet as the axis, and used a movement similar to a large windmill to turn the giant sword and slash it horizontally

Although the surviving knight of dawn made a defensive move between the lightning and flint, how could the thin saber be able to withstand this pressure, as the long sword was disconnected without accident, the knight was directly cut in two on the horse, and the panicked and frightened war horse ran forward with the remaining half of the body of the owner who was still bare with steaming intestines and internal organs!

These few quick battles consumed Rod's spirit even more, he gritted his teeth and hurried a few steps to catch up with the mount of the first knight not far away, and did not wait for it to stop in the resistance and panic of the war horse, directly withdrew the giant sword, and jumped up with both hands on the back of the war horse while running

After owning the mount, Rhodes was even more powerful, and the spare shield that the Dawn Knight hung on the side of the horse also became his trophy, and his hands pulled the reins hard, and his feet slammed madly into the stomach of the war horse without any pity, and under the severe pain, the horse, which did not belong to him, let out a mournful roar and reluctantly accelerated forward again

Getting closer and closer, after a few minutes of galloping at all costs, the magnificent exterior walls of the Cathedral of Light were already expanding in Rhodes's pupils, and as they approached the original City Lord's Mansion and the church, the Stormwind army reacted faster

More than fifty Stormwing crossbowmen were waiting in front of Rhodes in two columns at this moment, these veterans had no extra expressions on their faces even in the face of the unslowing knight charge, they had already regarded death as a sacred relief after experiencing the sea of corpses and blood

100 meters...... Seventy meters...... Fifty meters...... Thirty meters...... In order to pursue the maximum shooting effect, in order to ensure that the heavy armor and war horses of the opposing knights penetrate, under the stability of the commander, the crossbowmen of Stormwings calmly waited for the final moment to come with their crossbows

On the right side of the queue, the person in charge of the command happened to be Itsef, who had been promoted to the commander of the Stormwings Legion, and under the semi-enclosed helmet, the former middle-aged hunter looked at Rod's familiar but terrifying face, and the gaze from his eyes was filled with unspeakable pain, perhaps regret, remorse, unwillingness, but more than that, torture......

********************

"Run! Run, kid!! ”

In this moment, the scene of getting acquainted with Rhodes appeared very clearly in Itsev's mind, facing the knight chasing behind, the farmer's child had stubbornness and stubbornness on his face in addition to struggling, and it was that expression that awakened the conscience and determination in his heart, which led to his final rebellion and rescue......

The hunger and mutual encouragement in the long journey through the forest, the difficulties and dangers encountered in the escape, the encouragement to each other after Stormwind joined the army, and the heroism of Rhodes's dream of becoming a big man are all vividly remembered as if they were yesterday

"I think I can eat a whole cow now, Rhodes"

"Actually, I think you have a deep misunderstanding about bugs, do you really not come again?"

"Bastard, if you dare to mention this again, I'll let you sleep on the streets, and don't forget the gold coins on me. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

“…… Itsev, what a bastard you .........! ”

"I'm going to be a big guy big bear?"

"Why? Isn't that a good life? ”

"No, you don't understand uncle, only by becoming a big man can you control your own destiny, I don't want to be like my father and mother......"

"Sorry...... Rod reminds you of the sad past, I will bless and help you, you can! ”

"Hmm!"

In the memory, Rod's young but combative face was like a sharp knife frantically cutting Itsev's heart......

Finally, he took a deep look at the somewhat unfamiliar Rod, and before he knew it, tears had filled the eyes of Itsev, a rough Slavic man, and in a frenzied howl, he took the lead in pulling the trigger of the crossbow

"Twenty-five meters!! Shoot ......"
