430, Gilneth's Rose
The Eastern Plague Lands, once magnificent and prosperous, Stratholme is now a ghost town. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The plague killed all the creatures and then resurrected them, turning them into walking corpses wandering aimlessly through ruined cities.
The city, which had become dead silent, is now lively again.
It's just that the excitement is obviously different from before.
"Raise your gun!"
A crisp voice rang out, and Rhona Crolley raised her sword in the air, then swung it hard.
"Shoot!"
Bang bang......
Projectiles inlaid with holy light crystals were excited from the barrel of the gun, quickly shot out, and then hit the undead with a fierce blow. These bullets are specially made, and the moment they hit the undead, the bullets shattered one after another. The Holy Light Crystal wrapped inside was driven by inertia and burrowed into the body of the undead. Then there was an explosion inside, and one by one the undead were covered in a blinding golden light, and they fell to the ground in a puff of green smoke.
"Second row ready!"
Lorna raised her sword again.
Speaking of which, I have to digress a word.
In the troubled kingdom of Gilneis, there is always no shortage of heroes and heroes who can turn the tide, and there is no shortage of shining sonorous roses: Gwen Amst, the female mayor of the town, with her careful thinking and strong execution, cut off the worries of the soldiers who are fighting on the front line; Although the housewife Magda White Wall could not kill the enemy herself, she cooked a delicious roast venison to feed all the soldiers who went to the front......
Among these glittering sonorous roses, there is a fiery red and wanton delicate rose that is so bright and outstanding: fierce as fire is her family tradition, maverick is her style, wisdom and courage are all her characteristics, and fierce and unyielding is her charm!
She is the heroine of the heroine who coexists with heroes and chivalry, attaches equal importance to wisdom and beauty, and makes men ashamed and women jealous - Rona Crolley.
As you can tell from her last name, she comes from the Crolley family, and her father is none other than the famous Darius Crolley.
Rhona's father, Darius Crowley, was himself the second most powerful lord in the kingdom of Gilney, second only to Greymane, and his territory was so vast that he occupied almost half of Gilneys, including Burnt Wood Village and Ambermir. Due to political disagreements with King Jean, the territory was rudely divided by the Wall of Greymane, and Lord Darius took advantage of the curse of werewolves raging in the country and the anger of the people to openly launch the Northern Gate Mutiny aimed at overthrowing the tyranny of Greymane.
The High Lord, Darius Crowley, dared to disagree with King Jean in his dealings with the other kingdoms of mankind; After his own territory was roughly divided, he launched the North Gate Mutiny in anger and shook the rule of the Greymane; In the original book, when the curse of the werewolves was raging and the forsaken invaded the life and death of the country and the nation, he understood the general situation and acted righteously, decisively put aside the old grudge, and joined hands with the Greymane family to fight the enemy.
His general understanding of the overall situation, his fierce as fire, and daring character jumped on the page, and it greatly affected his daughter.
Luo Na in the original book is a character who combines national hatred and family hatred.
In the area of national feud, Rhona has the same enemies as all the Gilnesians: the werewolf curse is raging, and everyone is terrified; The earthquake caused by the Deathwings devastated large tracts of fertile farms in Gilnehs, and the shadow of hunger hung over everyone's hearts like a demon; The collapse of the Wall of Greymane has driven the Forsaken straight in, and the threat of the destruction of the country is already in sight.
In terms of family hatred, it is unique to the Crowley family, and it is even more unforgettable: the construction of the Wall of Greymane has brought two major shames to the Crowley family: first, the territory is roughly divided in two: this is the hatred of the ripping earth; The second is the abandonment of villages such as Burnt Wood and Thurberchel, leaving the Crowley family with the name of "ingratitude": this is humiliating hatred.
The fiasco of the North Gate Mutiny made the Crowley family labeled as "traitors" and "traitors" since then, and their reputation was discredited; And Darius, the head of the family, is also imprisoned in Stoneward Prison, which is a hatred of discredit.
And Rona Crowley grew up under the influence of such a family, and in this sinister background, she carried the hatred of the country and the family alone, secretly clinging to the family arsenal, waiting for the day when the light came.
Of course, these are all things that happened in the original book, in fact, in this life, in the few years since Du Ten came to this world, he has already begun to address the hatred of the Gray Mane family of the Gray Mane family. After all, Crowley had not yet staged a coup d'état, and he still had time to stop it.
And in fact, his approach has been very effective.
Not only did he succeed in eliminating the civil strife, but he also made the Crowley family see the difference between him and his father.
This time Rona led the troops to Stratholme, which is the best proof of this.
Before leaving Gilney, Duten had secretly met with Crowley. He knew that Crolley had a group of men under him, otherwise he would not have been able to carry out a coup d'état. These people were originally prepared for a coup d'état, but now that the coup will not happen, these people cannot be idle.
Duten gave them another goal, that is, the land that once belonged to Lordaeron could be completely reincorporated into their command.
In fact, Crowley is still very loyal to Greymane, and the coup d'état is a last resort, and now that His Royal Highness the Prince has shown exciting qualities, Darius has no reason to continue on the road to the dark.
After much thought, he finally approved Duten's plan, which led to Rhona's action.
At this time, she was followed by the subordinates of their family, not as good as the most elite troops in Gilnehs, but they were no worse than those ordinary soldiers.
There was also the three-stage shooting that Duten had taught them, which brought the combat power of the primitive musket to the extreme, and almost all of the thousands of undead in Stratholme stabbed near the city gates, and there were less than a thousand private soldiers in front of them. But even these private soldiers, who are less than a thousand people, make thousands of undead unable to enter.
"Second row guns raised! Shoot! ”
"Third Platoon Gun ......"
Methodical command, Rona does not look like a weak woman at all, on the contrary, her performance is better than that of men, and in the face of such a tragic battlefield, her face is even slightly pale. Don't forget, she's younger than "Prince Lim", this is her first time on the battlefield, and it's really rare to have such a performance.
It's a pity that the experience is too weak, and she gradually falls into danger.
You know, the undead aren't just in Stratholme.
The rows of guns on this side were connected into pieces, and the holy light bullets continued to erupt, and finally formed a faint wave of holy light energy. The Light has a strong restraint on the undead, and the undead instinctively hate this power. And if the power of the Light is unable to completely restrain the undead, the undead will attack them in groups.
The fluctuations of the battle here gradually attracted the attention of the undead in the surrounding barren mountains and dense forests.
Groups of undead came out of the mountains, slowly but surely walking in the direction of the battlefield.
All Rhona focused on the front, not placing any defenses in the rear, just shooting a few scouts.
As a result, when waiting for the scout to report back, Rhona was also a little panicked.
There are more undead on the outside than on the inside, and they can still maintain their advantage by only being on one side, but once they are surrounded by the undead from behind, they have no way to resist.
Thinking of the mission given to her by His Royal Highness the Prince, Rona suddenly became anxious, and she didn't care about continuing to command the troops, so she asked a captain she trusted to come over and take over, she turned around and ran outside.
Before he could run a few steps, he saw the endless sea of undead in the distance.
Although the speed of the undead is slow, they can't run away even if they put on their wings!
Well, you may be able to run away with wings, but what about the task that Your Highness has given you? Obviously, he said that he would take this place before His Highness rushed back, and it took a lot of effort to get to Stratholme before clearing the monsters all the way. It's hard to wipe out Stratholme's undead, but I didn't expect so many undead to come at once, what should I do with this one.
Rhona was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and the undead were getting closer and closer, and gradually, even the gunmen in front of her noticed the movement behind her. When they looked back, the formation suddenly became chaotic.
Lorna, a girl who was only a teenager, suddenly lost her sense of proportion, and could no longer command the team, so she could only watch the undead gradually approach, closing the encirclement little by little, and then ......
"Luckily, I came back first!"
A familiar voice suddenly sounded, and immediately after, a golden light fell from the sky and fell in front of Rhona.
Rhona fixed his eyes and saw that it was a giant sword with a hideous shape.
When the giant sword landed, it suddenly burst out with an incomparably strong brilliance, and although this light was bright, it was not dazzling. The moment it appeared, it quickly expanded, and like a golden barrier, it quickly spread in all directions.
The undead, who could already smell the rancid stench on their bodies, were enveloped in it almost instantly.
Then in the next second, countless undead fell to the ground with a wail, and where the golden light passed, none of the undead could still stand. Whether inside or outside the city, all the undead were reduced to ashes under this golden light.
Not only that, with the spread of the golden light, the corroded land returned to its original color, the black corruption quickly subsided, the stench in the air disappeared in an instant, and the entire Stratholme quickly regained its original healthy color in this incomparably powerful golden light.
Although it is still a little dilapidated, it is much better than before.
The people around Gilneth all looked at the changes around them with amazement, but Rona looked up at the sky, wanting to see the figure that haunted her.
Yes, she loves Prince Lim.
Ever since Prince Lim came to her house three years ago and had a night of talking to her father, she couldn't forget the man.
He was so talkative, so wise, and knew everything in his mind, and although his surname was Greymane, he was completely different from the previous Greymane.
Of course, at first, Rhona had wondered if it was a disguise?
Maybe Greymane already knew about his father's plan and wanted to use such a small means to stabilize his father? But my father is not such an easily deceived person!
So Lorna began to quietly observe the "Prince Lim", her family background and identity gave her many opportunities that others could not get. Du Teng could feel Rhona's voyeurism, but he didn't stop it at all.
In this way, Lorna observed Duten for three years.
In three years, she completely changed her mind.
The prince did not lie to them, everything he said, all his thoughts and ambitions were true!
This discovery made Lorna quickly turn to a fan by passers-by, and almost without hesitation, she turned from a fan to a brain-dead fan, and then, a sense of admiration arose.
Just like just now, she was already very dangerous, and it was not certain whether she could survive or not, but she was thinking that she was going to live up to the prince's expectations, not that she cared about her own safety.
Before she knew it, Lorna had put her whole heart on Du Teng's body.
Even during the days when Du Teng went to help the High Elves, she kept praying for Du Teng, hoping that he would not be injured, let alone killed.
Now, the familiar voice sounded, and it was directly above, and Rhona couldn't wait to look up, wanting to see the familiar voice.
The moment she raised her head, the familiar voice sounded behind her, and then, a pair of strong arms wrapped around her slender waist.
"I've kept you waiting."
A simple sentence, with a little heat, made Rona feel weak, and she almost collapsed directly to the ground.
Fortunately, the body behind "supported" her, so that she did not lose her temper.
Immediately afterward, Lorna began to struggle.
"Your Highness, let me go, they are all watching......"
There was no response, and all Rhona heard was a faint snoring. Then a weight fell on her body, and she quickly adjusted her center of gravity so that she was not overwhelmed.
Turning her face sideways, looking at the familiar but somewhat tired face, all Rhona was left with all her reserve and shyness, and she suddenly felt a little sorry for this man.
For the sake of the country, for the sake of the people, and for the promise he once made to his father and daughter, he took more than a thousand people to support the High Elves and face the army of hundreds of thousands of undead.
Luo Na stretched out her hand and gently touched Du Teng's cheek, and she didn't call anyone else, just herself, with all her strength, and supported Du Teng.
After the golden light completely dissipated, the entire Stratholme was no longer a threat, and the powerful power of the holy light remaining in the air made the undead in the distance dare not approach easily.
After waiting for more than half an hour, the person who followed Du Teng to leave returned.
Although there were a lot fewer people, it still caused the cheers of the thousands of people around Rona to come back, and it was a victory for them to come back alive.
Gathering the two troops, Rona and Duten's guard captain Tobias helped Duten to find a fairly clean room, Rhona took care of Duten, and Tobias took her password, went out to gather all the personnel, and quickly divided the team, rushed to repair the city gate and city wall, and restored the city defense of Stratholme as much as possible before the power of the holy light in the air dissipated.
