Chapter 271: Crisis
"It's you, I didn't expect you to become an undead too." Twilight said with a complicated expression, and although Russell's appearance had changed a lot, he still recognized it.
"I have to thank you a lot for becoming like this, if it weren't for your plan, I wouldn't have died, let alone increased my strength, and these two around me also have to thank you." Russell said with a hatred on his face, of course he hated Twilight, not only hated Twilight for stealing Isdal's attention from him, but also hated Twilight for being noticed everywhere he went, and what made Russell even more resentful was that if it weren't for his schemes, Isdar wouldn't have stayed at that time, and he would have died in the Battle of Thorn Mountain.
As Russell's hateful and murderous words fall, the other two Death Knights behind him take off their helmets, and Twilight looks like she's been hit by a sledgehammer when she sees the face of one of them.
"Fred!"
Twilight's eyes widen as she looks at the bald man who has taken off his helmet, a look of surprise and pain on his face.
"Fate is so impermanent, have you ever thought that one day we will meet like this, my friend!" Fred said with a blank face, his voice no longer loud, but hoarse.
"Fred, listen to me, although you have been transformed, you cannot submit to the will of others, as long as you do not give in, one day you will definitely be reborn again, believe me." Twilight takes a step forward.
Twilight's words send a glimmer of struggle in Fred's eyes, but the struggle is soon drowned in endless coldness.
I saw Fred shake his head firmly: "I am here today just to let you and me accept the call of darkness and become the arm of His Royal Highness the Prince."
Twilight looked at Fred deeply, didn't say anything, but turned back to Sunrise and whispered, "After a while, you take the hammer of justice to protect those civilians and try to break through in the direction of the royal city, I will try to delay as much time as possible."
"No, I can't leave you behind." Dawn shook her head.
"If you can go part of it, go part of it, I'll find a way to leave." Twilight said with a calm face, a little angry.
Dawn gritted her teeth and didn't speak again, turned around and found the group of officers who were apprentices to the Hammer of Justice and began to prepare to break out.
"Want to run? None of you can run today!" Russell said with a grim smile on his face, sword in hand, and the skeletal steed towards Twilight.
Roar!
Twilight opens the war with a roar of rage, and heads straight at Russell with fearlessness.
Sonorous!
In the face of Russell's onslaught, Twilight moves two steps sideways to avoid the onslaught of the warhorse, and then raises her shield to block the slashing broadsword.
The knife slammed Twilight's shoulders, and after blocking Russell's slash, Twilight's Destroyer of Worlds slashed sideways at Lassalle's skeletal horse. Twilight still knows the truth that shoots people first and shoots horses first.
Russell was obviously a little careless about Twilight, and the Twilight in Russell's eyes was estimated to be still at the sixth and seventh orders, after all, Twilight had the ruler's eye to hide her strength, and Russell couldn't feel it clearly.
When Twilight slashed a sword, Russell was too late to dodge his horse, only to see a fifty or sixty centimeter cut appear from the armor of the skeleton horse, and the skeleton horse ran forward for some distance before lying on the ground, one of its legs had been destroyed by Twilight.
Russell is furious that he jumps off his horse and attacks Twilight again.
Twilight knows that she is definitely no match for Russell, so he is ready to be a turtle from the beginning, just to buy time for Dawn and the others.
Twilight held a shield in one hand and a sword in the other, steadily protecting her body, blocking Russell's two attacks in a row, but Dumb rushed over and slashed at Russell with an axe.
Dumb trained from Isdal, as Isdal's disciple, Russell naturally observed Dumb's training and fighting, and knew his three-plate axe very well, when Dumb cut over with an axe, I saw Russell bend down and take two steps back to easily avoid Dumb's attack, and then when Dumb's axe was not returned, Russell slashed through Dumb's waist.
With the sound of a blade tearing through the armor, a narrow opening appeared in Dumb's waist, and with a roar of pain, Dumb smashed his fist into Russell, forcing Russell to step aside, and only then did blood begin to seep out of it.
Seeing this scene, Twilight was anxious and immediately stopped in front of Dumb, and then looked at Russell vigilantly and said:
"Dumb, I'll come here by myself, you go and attack other natural disasters, don't let them affect me."
It's not that Twilight says this, it's not that he trusts it, the main thing is that Dumb's attack method is that simple and rough type, but Russell's attack method is inherited from Isdal, which is the kind of skill plus agility type, and it must be a killer move when he makes a move, if Russell's strength is low, it's just that, but he has now entered the hero level, that is, Finish Xetis, Twilight is afraid that Setis will be damaged if he is not careful.
Dumb listened to Twilight's words very much, and although he was a little unwilling, after listening to Twilight's words, Dumb just gave Russell a vicious look, and then walked towards the surrounding undead scourge with an axe.
"Can you stop me on your own?" Not caring about Setis' departure at all, Russell said dismissively to Twilight.
"I seem to have said a long time ago that you are nothing in my eyes." Twilight responds without flinching.
Hearing Twilight's words, a hint of anger flashed in Russell's eyes, and although he had entered the heroic stage, Russell's personality had not changed at all, and he was still narrow-minded and irritable.
"I'm going to kill you, and then turn you into a ghoul slave to be whipped every day." Russell said as he attacked Twilight again.
Unlike the previous attacks, this time Russell's attack was fierce and abnormal, and for fear of accidents, Twilight immediately turned on the skill 'Block', and used all her energy to defend against Russell's attacks.
Russell learned from Isdar, who has a terrible trait in addition to winning with skill, that is, he can especially seize fleeting fighters to deliver a fatal blow to the enemy, so Twilight does not dare to relax in the slightest in dealing with Russell's attacks.
At this time, Fred and another death knight did not also join the warband, but stepped back and began to direct the undead scourge to attack the temporary camp of humans, and they also knew that their strength was not enough.
With a commanded necromantic scourge and an uncommanded undead scourge are two different things, at least the ranged necromancers know to gather together to attack the Darius soldiers.
After listening to Twilight's words, Dawn tried to escort more than 10,000 civilians with her soldiers to break out, but she quickly retreated and was forced back.
This time, Dawn led 3,000 troops not only full of paladins, but also a thousand priests among them, and this group of priests was temporarily summoned by Danas V when he heard that priests were the most effective in purifying the plague.
The priest not only has a hand in purifying the plague, but is not inferior to the paladin in the fight against the undead disaster, and is even better at those long-range necromancers, and can also protect his teammates, but in terms of the priest's melee ability and hardness, it cannot be compared with the paladin.
How could only two thousand apprentice paladins protect so many civilians and the priest behind them, after trying once, Dawn gave up the idea of breaking through.
After about a quarter of an hour, Russell becomes angry after attacking Twilight to no avail, believing that killing Twilight as easily as crushing an ant when he enters the hero rank, but the opposite is true.
Twilight wasn't easy, though, as beads of sweat were already on his face, and the battle with Russell was too draining for him.
At this point, the knife fell, and then took two steps back and raised the broadsword in his hand, which looked like it was going to make a big move, but Twilight did not step forward to try to stop it, but quickly stepped back.
"It's game over, let's die!" Russell roared, and a black light appeared on the broadsword, and then Russell's whole body turned into a shadow and leaped towards Twilight. After listening to Twilight's words, Dawn tried to escort more than 10,000 civilians with her soldiers to break out, but she quickly retreated and was forced back.
At the same time, Twilight lifts up the Destroyers of the Realms and the Royal Barrier and activates all of her defensive skills, shield strike, shield counter, and block.
Bang!
Russell's knife slashed at Twilight's royal ramparts, and below the royal ramparts, Twilight put his sword horizontally against her shield, which was equivalent to fending off Russell's attack with both hands.
At the moment when the sword and shield intersected, a golden magic shield was placed on Twilight's body, and the next moment the shield shattered, and Twilight flew backwards and fell heavily to the ground.
With a sinister smile on his face, Russell was about to chase after him and kill Twilight with a knife, when he was just walking forward, and his distraction turned into a red figure and pounced on Russell from behind.
The timing of the attack was very good, but Russell was also a hero and a strong man, and Russell felt it before he got close, and a relaxed sideways move Russell dodged the attack of the heartlessness lightly, and the claws of the heartlessness only grabbed a few strands of pale hair, and then saw Russell slash at the heartless body with a knife, and flew out and fell to the ground.
Dealing with the monster that had sneaked up on him, Russell's eyes moved to Twilight's body again, and just then, a golden chain appeared on his body and wrapped Russell around him.
Bound by the Light!
One of the high-level Holy Light spells.
Naturally, it was Dawn, the high-ranking priest, who made the move, but after restraining Russell, Dawn threw two healing techniques in a row on Twilight's body, and then hurriedly helped Twilight up and said with concern:
"How are you?"
