Chapter 57: The Trap
"I don't care! I must go to Stratholme! The fierce quarrel that erupted in the marching tent made several silver Northern Expeditionary soldiers standing guard at the door look at each other.
"Strathorm is my hometown and that of Rivendell, the damned Kel'thugad unleashed the undead plague on Stratholme, and Arthas turned it into a dead city. Stratholme never received aid from the Kingdom of Lordaeron, and my friend Baron Rivendell is a hero who should not continue to be in slavery to the Lich King. ”
Duke Sellenhof spoke to himself, his eyes flickering and immersed in the grief of the past, "Finally, when the large forces of the Scourge have left Stratholme, I cannot miss this opportunity to save the soul of Rivendell. ”
"Duke, I didn't dissuade you from your plan because I agreed with you. But the appearance of the undead giant bat shows that the situation has changed, and there is a good chance that there will be a trap there...... "A young man with an ordinary face and full military uniform, struggling to persuade the Duke of Sellenhof.
Duke Serenhof had a neat appearance and a resolute countenance, and after a moment of silence, he finally raised his head and said in a slow but firm tone: "Blanton, I am relieved that this army is led by you. Even if I die, it won't have a big impact on this army, please let me be willful for once! If I don't try it and free Rivendell's soul, I won't be willing to do it anyway. ”
"Duke of Sellenhoff......" Captain Blanton fell silent, closed his eyes and turned around, and sighed deeply.
Duke Serenhof got up from his chair and gave him a cold look, and Serna, who was standing behind her, lifted the curtain of the tent and walked out.
"Children, let's go home and liberate Stratholme!"
Serna listened to the cheers from outside the tent with a blank face, and said nothing. Just now, a reminder message from her soul mark that the mission had failed, and her major basic attributes were deducted by two points, which combined to a loss of 10 basic attributes.
The prestige of the Silver Northern Expeditionary Army, which had already reached respect, was directly emptied and turned into indifference, and it was almost expelled from the Silver Northern Expeditionary Army in dishonor. Coupled with the loss of honor points, it is equivalent to saying that her early efforts in this world have all been neutralized.
"Sena, are you really not going?" Li Ze whispered.
"yes, Serna. Even if it's really a trap there, with the strength of the three of us, it shouldn't be a problem to escape, don't you really think about it? Hong Jian said beside him.
Li Ze and Hong Jian are both first-order transferees from Y-space, and Li Ze's character is a tall jungle troll, with green skin, a somewhat rickety body, and two long, curved fangs around his mouth. His reincarnation, codenamed "Medic", is a rare reincarnation whose main profession is recovery, and his talent is "First Aid".
Hong Jian is the opposite of Li Ze, he is a short and ugly goblin. The reincarnation, codenamed "Xuanwu", has a talent for force field control. This talent is both offensive and defensive, and the level is extremely high, and it can even be used as a sub-T.
Li Ze and Hong Jian don't care about their characters, in fact, the main material world where the two of them are located is not a human world, but an alien world, and the aesthetics are different from human beings.
Li Ze and Hong Jian are inseparable from Meng, and their talents complement each other perfectly, if you add Dinah's "arbitration" talent that can improve the power of her companion's skills, and Max's sub-T ability.
If these four people cooperate tacitly, their defensive ability is really speechless, even if Xu Mo is allowed to carry out a surprise attack, they will not be able to help them. In fact, this is one of the main reasons why the four of them were able to successfully survive the Battle of the Dawn of Light.
Serna sighed in her heart, these two people were able to choose to stand on their side in the Battle of Dawn of Light under the strong pressure of the Black Widow team, which showed that the two of them were sincere in joining the old K group.
If it weren't for Xu Mo's repeated admonitions, Serna would be willing to tell the two of them about the analysis and judgment of the group leader. In that case, these two people will definitely have the same choice as her, and no one who can change careers is a real stupid.
It's a pity! Serna pulled herself together, "I repeat, Duke Serenhof's mission is most likely a trap, if you two are willing to trust my judgment, then stay." If you don't want to, I won't force you! ”
Li Ze and Hong Jian fell silent, and they had already seen the punishment of Serna's mission. Honor and prestige are still trivial, and ten basic attributes are not easy to accumulate. However, they are not stupid, and since Serna is willing to bear this kind of punishment, it means that there is an extremely high possibility of a trap ahead.
"We'll be careful, it seems that this mission is unlikely to be profitable, I just hope to save Duke Serenhof!" Li Ze shook his head and gave Hong Jian a look, and the two of them exited the tent at the same time, chasing after Duke Serenhof's small team.
Serna smiled bitterly, these two people may have believed her judgment, but there is still a fluke mentality, which is probably the so-called not crying without seeing the coffin.
In fact, if she thinks about it carefully, she can't blame them, even if it's Serna herself, she is also very unwilling. If the person who warned her was not a wise man like Xu Mo, who had no last resort, Serna would also try her luck, after all, she was now giving up all the benefits of the entire mission world.
The Silver Northern Expeditionary Army, led by Captain Blanton, is currently hundreds of miles away from the Chapel of the Light's Wish. However, they were further away from Stratholme, but the direction of the army was not Stratholme, so Duke Serenhof wanted to go to Stratholm, and now he had to take another route.
In a valley about fifty miles from the Silver Northern Expeditionary Army, another small group was lurking here. The valley was lined with cliffs on both sides, running northwest-southeast, and was the gateway to Stratholme from the location of the Silver Northern Expedition.
The number of people in the team was small, about a hundred, and these people were fully dressed in plate armor, armed with heavy troops, and armed almost to the teeth. More than 100 people stood together, but they were silent and unmoving, and only those who were familiar with this army knew that this was due to strict discipline on the one hand, and because this army was full of the undead of the Scourge Legion.
At the front of the line were three knights on tall horses, each with different faces, but only one thing very similar. Their eyes were all pale and pupilless, exuding a faint icy cold glow, piercing people's hearts like icicles, these were three high-ranking death knights.
If you look closely at their mounts, they are not warhorses that live in the world of living people. These horse-like creatures have fiery eyes, sharp fangs, heavy smoke erupting from their nostrils, and a dark blue fire floating on the horses' hooves. They are nightmare beasts from another abyssal world who have made a soul pact with the Death Knight.
The fires on the horse's hooves of the Nightmare Beasts possess the laws of force fields, defying the gravity of the planet and walking on the cliffs, except that they cannot fly, they are the most powerful mounts of the Death Knights.
As if asleep, the three Death Knights were silent, silently waiting for the battle to come. Only under the plate armor mask, the cold glow that bloomed from time to time showed that they still had the consciousness of living people. At the back of this small group were six or seven Scourge soldiers, who were very different from the other undead.
"Luth, are they really coming?" Black Widow Elise was bored and toyed with her slightly longer bangs. The long legs in tight leather pants were overlapped, leaning against the boulder next to the valley, and the well-defined facial features were still so heroic.
"I don't know, I'm not someone else's roundworm!" The young man opposite Elise yawned lazily, and his eyes seemed to be awake, with dark circles like pandas, which was probably the source of his black-eyed codename.
There were four or five other reincarnators sitting or lying around the two of them, in fact, Elise was able to pull up such a team among the transferees transferred from Y space again when she was defeated by Xu Mo and her prestige was greatly damaged, and Black-Eyed Lut played a decisive role.
"Luth, do you really want to go back to Y-space after what happens here?" Elise frowned and said cautiously, "You can't think about staying and helping me, the combination of the two of us can completely lay a world in X-space!" ”
"Whew~~~" Elise waited for a long time, thinking that Luth, who was thinking with her head down, suddenly let out an even snoring sound.
"Damn it!" Elise grinded her teeth in hatred, knowing that Ruth was playing dumb.
In fact, Elise herself understands that it is unlikely that Ruth will stay to help her. Black-eyed Luth is one of the five top teams in Y-Space, the brains of the Temple of Gods, if he really wants to stay in X-Space, then he will never hand over the position of head to her.
"Luth, don't play dead. You said that this time, the two members of the old K group would not fall for the scheme, but your last plan was not successful! Elise said coldly.
"Last time, who would have thought that the heroic spirits under the Chapel of Light's Wish would have that kind of strange power. This kind of thing can only be said that they are lucky! Lute reluctantly reopened his eyes and said lightly, "As for whether they will be tricked this time, it depends on whether the two members of the old K group can get rid of the unique weaknesses of reincarnation!" ”
"What are the weaknesses of reincarnation?" Elise raised an eyebrow in confusion.
"Well, the reincarnations of the X space are all very strong, and these people generally have the fighting spirit of taking the sword and taking risks. If it's a normal mission, they will be able to get more out of it, even though the elimination rate is high, because the space won't release mortal missions. Lao K is the most outstanding representative among them. ”
Speaking of this, Lut paused and smiled slightly, "But team battles are different, the more you gamble with a fluke mentality, the more completely you lose." Judging from the information and intelligence you gave, Lao K has not experienced many team battles, and he should also have this weakness. ”
