Chapter 84: Breakout
A headwind trail, a narrow valley, usually a deserted place. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info but at this time, a large number of orcs and a small number of humans gathered here, killing and shaking the sky, almost shaking down the gray mountains and rocks around them.
A lightning barrier flashing with strong electric sparks separated the small valley in two. To the west of the barrier, the orcs are chasing three men - Ryan, King of the Kingdom of Azeroth, in ornate armor, Garona, a half-orc, and Bervar, a young demon hunter paladin.
The trio were fierce warriors, strange assassins, and fearless paladins, and the orcs who pursued them were slowly worn out by far outnumbering them.
However, at the other end of the lightning barrier, the situation is very unfavorable for humans. The hundred demon hunter paladins who had trained under Edward died one by one under the onslaught of the orcs. It was an honor for them to die heroically on the battlefield in order to protect their king, but for their instructor Edward, it was definitely not something he liked to see.
Edward and Grom were fighting hard, and three orc chieftains were watching him in the distance, and he was not allowed to be distracted, let alone rescued.
He could only watch as his disciple died of exhaustion under the siege of the orcs.
It was a feeling that Edward had felt in Middle-earth, and it had become his nightmare, nearly eating away at his sanity several times.
At the same time, Edward was shocked by the madness of Grom Hell's roar. The opponent's lifeless style of play made him unable to use the "Trick Blade" skill at all, otherwise the opponent completely ignored the attack routine, and the pure way of playing with injuries for injuries was very unfavorable to Edward in this matter.
The form of the eastern side of the lightning barrier did not allow Edward to show the slightest decline in combat effectiveness, and he did not want these students who had not yet used the Holy Light to help the weak to lose their numbers here.
"Witchers, move closer to me!" Edward commanded, and the remaining Witcher Paladins and four Draenei accepted his order and fought and retreated, converging towards Edward, eventually forming a circular array that clinged to the lightning barrier.
"Medivan, let this damn barrier disappear quickly! Your Majesty is safe!" a frustrated Lothar glanced at the three Ryan who had left the battlefield safely, and yelled angrily at Medivan on the mountain.
Perhaps his shouts worked, and Medivan, who was struggling to maintain the lightning barrier, opened his eyes, shuddered, and passed out on the ground.
As he fainted, the lightning barrier disappeared!
"Retreat! Retreat! I'll break the back!" Lothar jumped onto his horse and rushed to Edward's side, sword in hand.
Lothar is the Supreme Commander of the Kingdom of Azeroth, and his command is theoretically the highest level.
But after Lothar gave the order, all the Demon Hunter Paladins and Draenei Paladins did not move, they still brandished their weapons, trying to block the orc's attack.
"Damn it, Edward, let the young retreat! I'll be able to break it off, they're the future of the kingdom, they can't all fold here!" Lothar joined Edward and Grom in the fight, slashing Grom in the shoulder, stopping the onslaught of the opponent's onslaught.
"Retreat! Protect the wounded!" Edward took advantage of the situation to launch a quick attack, leaving several scars on Grom's body and forcing him back into the orcs.
As soon as the orc charger Grom was repulsed, the orc's offensive weakened. The paladins, though a little worried about their instructor, carried out his order and slowly retreated.
Only Edward, Windsor, Cullen, Marcus, Hayley, and Lothar stood back-to-back in front of the orc army.
"Wendsol, carry out my orders, you must evacuate. Edward glanced at the four young paladins who had stayed behind and frowned.
These four young men who fought bravely were already scarred, but they still insisted on staying.
"May the Light be with you! Wendthor looked at Edward for a moment, then finally pulled the stubborn Hayley and turned to leave.
"May the Light be with you! Father, I am waiting for you in Stormwind. Cullen said to Lothar as well.
"Go, I'm proud of you, my son. Lothar was relieved.
............
Watching the other paladins retreat, only Edward and Lothar remained, and the Black Hand did not order the orcs to pursue. In his cognition, the king of the other party cannot be left near this scene, and it is enough to leave the two henchmen in front of him!
At the command of the Black Hand, a large number of orcs surrounded Edward and Lothar.
"Sir, you should leave too, it's easier to break through if I'm alone. Edward and Lothar were back to back, their eyes fixed on the orcs who surrounded them.
"You mean, I've become a burden to you?" Lothar laughed, "you're a megalomaniac. ”
"Demon hunters are never arrogant, I'm just stating the facts. Edward said with a blank face.
"Well, sometimes I feel really tired of chatting with you, can't you have a little sense of humor?"
"Enough! Your Excellency the Slaughterer and Commander. The black hand platoon came over and stood more than ten meters away from the two of them, "Are you guys making the last joke in your life?"
"Who is this guy, what kind of nonsense is he talking about?" Lothar asked Edward with a smile that he couldn't understand orc.
"He's a pathetic fellow, and although he claims to be the great chief of the orc tribe, he's really just a puppet. Edward replied.
"Yes? I didn't expect that there was intrigue among the rude orcs. Lothar glanced at the sky without a trace, and made a vague eye with Edward.
Edward understood, and his excellent perception had allowed him to sense that two large creatures were rapidly approaching in the sky - they were the griffons of Alan and Lothar.
"Capture these two!!Then our orc army can attack the humans directly!" The Black Hand commanded with a wild laugh.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Defeated, but it seems that your plans are about to fall through again. Edward's body glowed with dazzling light and grabbed Lothar's wrist. The orcs around them involuntarily covered their eyes.
Lothar immediately had a bad feeling, and then he was thrown into the air by a huge force, and his griffon flew right low in the air, catching him and flying off into the distance.
Lothar turned his head nervously, and when he saw Edward following behind him on his mount, and the furious roar of the puppet chief on the ground, a smile he hadn't seen in a long time.
............
Alan's injuries had not yet healed, and he could not fly for long, so the two of them had to find a safe place to land.
Lothar turned the Guardian ring on her finger, and a towering castle suddenly appeared in the sky in front of her.
No, it's not a castle, it's a tower, it's just that it's so big and protected by a strong barrier that it looks like it's a safe castle.
Lothar landed at the bottom of the tower with the crookedly flying Elan and an old man dressed as a butler's suit.
"Moros, how is Medivan?" asked the old man after Lothar waited for Edward to jump off Alan.
"Fainted, the young mage Khadgar and the female orc were taking care of him. Moros glanced at Edward Road.
"Take care of my friend for me, Mr. Edward. Lothar was anxious and wanted to see Medivan as soon as possible.
"Slow down, my sir. Edward grabbed Lothar, "Before you go to see Medivan, I want to ask if you have leaked any of my plans?"
"Huh?" Lothar paused, turning his head to look at Edward suspiciously.
"When I was in the orc tribe, I was directly exposed. I now wonder who told Gul'dan the news?" said Edward.
"It's just me, Garona, Ryan, and Mad...... who know about this plan," Lothar thought of this, her face turning ugly, "You mean ......"
"Chances are, I wasn't revealed because the potion failed, that evil Gul'dan directly touched my disguise with a dissolving spell. Edward glanced at the towering tower, intentionally or unintentionally, "What do you think?"
"No, it can't be. Lothar still insisted on the last bit of luck in her heart, "Madde won't do this, maybe Garona." ”
"Do you think an Assassin could memorize a spell that I had just recited once, and was very awkward and complicated?" Edward denied Lothar, "if she could, she wouldn't have to go through the hassle. She could have assassinated His Majesty when she was close to him, and I'm sure she had plenty of opportunities to do so. ”
"But Madde is my best friend with Ryan!" Lothar roared, "and he has no reason or motive to do this. ”
"That's why I held you back. Edward said calmly, "Calm down, Commander, you now hold the lives of thousands of people in the kingdom of Azeroth, and so do the Guardians, and you must use your reason to judge. ”
