Chapter 40: The Assassin
O'neill. Moonblade was repairing his blade, a member of the Lancers, and the latest battle he had never seen in his life until now, and the ferocious monsters that occupied Aisaline, even the hateful trolls, could not compare to the demons
Looking at the blade that was getting sharper in his hand, O'Neill sighed, this was his third long knife, and now this knife was cut out of the blade yesterday, but at least more than ten demons hated it. The two previous long knives had already been completely damaged in battle.
The first time was in the Ula Mountains, when a demon blocked them as they charged, and of course, O'Neill's blade stabbed directly into the demon's abdomen, but just as he pulled it out, several doomsday guards descended from the sky, one of them severing his long handle, and the demon's blade slashed across the tip of his nose, and the smell of blood on it he still - or will never forget
He lost nearly twenty of his comrades in that attack
The second time was the most recent battle, he was separated from the squad during the battle, and while wandering he saw a soldier being pounced on by a Hellmon, and when he saw this, he threw his long knife at the javelin, stabbing the soldier in the ribs before the Hellbeast could bite off the soldier's throat, but failed to kill it, and the Hellbeast fled with his knife. But O'Neill thinks it's worth it
After the battle, O'Neill learns that he is the only survivor of the squad, and that he has received his third weapon, which is now the long knife in his hand, from the quartermaster
Looking at the weapons that had been sharpened, O'Neill sighed, now he had lost a lot of friends, the day before yesterday he was drinking with the other two soldiers, but yesterday they were both dead, originally thought that it was already a difficult thing to participate in the war against the trolls, but now - compared to the war with the demons, the trolls are nothing - at least the trolls will not use spells against them
I really don't know if I can still see the moonrise tomorrow, the continuous high-intensity battles make many soldiers unbearable, if it weren't for the spiritual support given by the sacrifices of the Moon Temple, the veterans would be better, but the recruits may have collapsed
But it was clear to him that it was the human knight who commanded them, and not - well, though it would be rude to say - the idiot Dale Dyce. Star Eye, in addition to having better blood than everyone else, O'Neill thinks he can look down on him in every way
Thankfully, Master Rafincrest didn't make a deal with Dale Dyce. Any military power of the Star Eye, otherwise it is a question of whether or not he can hit Aisaline. I heard from one of his comrades-in-arms that their village had come to Dale Des. The tax collector of Stareye, the officer told them that the village owed Dale Dyce. Stareye's two-hundred-year debt, the Night Elves' view of time, is so magical
Then the elders of the village invited the tax collector to drink wine in the morning, and by the afternoon their village was only a hundred years in debt
Ha, it's that amazing
While O'Neill was thinking, he heard a loud bang, and the tool in front of him was kicked down, and when he looked up, he saw an elf in a new infantry costume walking in front of him, and the tool was still spinning where he had just walked, and the elf did not apologize in the slightest
In an instant, O'Neill was furious, as a veteran who had lived from the beginning of the war to the present, he basically knew other veterans, and he was also a prestigious person among the soldiers, but this was a recruit who had just joined the army at first glance was so rude, how could he not be angry
But just when he wanted to grab the other party and ask what was going on, he suddenly found that the other party disappeared in front of his eyes
"Crassus, when will the dragons' support arrive?" In between battles, Qiuchen came to the mage's position to find Crassus, the old mage was the only one who could contact the dragons now
"It's been a while, they're almost there," Crassus sat down on a protruding stone with his head down, his expression as calm as water made Qiuchen completely unsure of what his attitude was to deal with. But the assistance of the dragons is necessary, as long as the portal to the Well of Eternity can be closed, then this war Azeroth will win, and the remaining demons have nothing to worry about, but the only feasible way to reach the Well of Eternity is an air strike
Suddenly, Crassus looked up and asked, "Do you have to be reinforcements from the dragons?" ”
"Of course, I would like to defeat the demon in a ground battle, but you can also see it, this is simply impossible" The mantis demon did take the demon by surprise when he first arrived, but after the other party reacted, the mantis demon's casualties began to rise sharply, and now Kruk will no longer take the flying mantis demon to raid, and one less elite is a major loss
The panda people are better, but the attrition is also serious, thanks to the treatment of the green dragon, the seriously injured were hung and did not die, but now there are less than fifty warrior monks who can take up arms and fight
"Perhaps, convince Cenarius? I see that his attitude has changed recently, "Originally, Cenarius was very dissatisfied with the mantis demon brought by Qiuchen, because the mantis demon was disdainful of his Druidism, but they are a race that admires ancient venerables and science, and you want them to protect nature?" How can it be
The impression of the panda people in Cenarius is not low, but the four spirits of people's beliefs came with them, and they are all peers and enemies, and Cenarius will not pull down his face and be embarrassed to rob believers in front of the four spirits
But since he arrived at the front line, he inevitably fought with demons, at first Cenarius was disdainful of demons, in his eyes Qiuchen, Ronin or Crassus was exaggerating to demons, but later the more he beat him, the more frightened he became, the cruelty and strength of demons were not at all comparable to the Azeroth race, and gradually, he began to believe a little bit in Qiuchen's description
"Convince him? Who goes? Are you or me? Crassus's calm words were full of disdain, "The King of the Forest can indeed help us a lot in battle, but his followers are honest, I really don't see anything other than those mountaintop giants who can fight the demons"
"We can only try, Sargeras may enter this world at any time, and we must fight for all the strength Where did Ronin go?" Saying that, Qiu Chen asked a question, "Wasn't he always commanding the Moon Guards before, why did he change to you recently?" ”
"Dwarf" Crassus held out a finger, "I convinced Anvimar, the King of the Mountains - although anyone who has not seen the power of the demon will think that I am exaggerating - but I did get reinforcements, not much, but useful"
"You asked Ronin to command the dwarves?! Are you kidding? Qiuchen waved his hand, his eyes widened and he looked incredulous, "You don't know the dwarf's wine, mage drinking is very harmful-Luo Ning is not the same as the dragon clan's physique"
"Of course I won't do that, it's just" Before Crassus could finish speaking, suddenly, there was a commotion in the camp in the distance, and then an elf ran up to Autumn Dust and Crassus, and Autumn Dust found that he knew each other - Captain Garrod. Shadow Song
"What's wrong? What happened? Qiu Chen asked first
"Lord Rafincrest, he sent an assassin to Esaline, and your lord has been assassinated!"
Garrod gasped twice and said the explosive news (the USB flash drive was broken and all the manuscripts were gone!!) In an instant, the whole person is not good! )
