Chapter 664: Expelling the Sacred Flame of Death
In the forest, the running death horse slowly stopped, looked around through the eyes that could see through the soul, the death knight had made sure that there were no pursuers behind him to continue to follow, after all, the living also knew very well after fighting with the Scourge Legion that it was very stupid to send troops to pursue the undead in the forest at night, that would just send more troops to the Scourge Legion.
Through the soul connection with the puppets, the death knight began to slowly gather the rangers scattered in the forest, and according to the will of His Majesty the great Lich King, he and dozens of companions broke into the inland areas of the western countries of the continent, and began to attack human villages and convoys everywhere to prepare to establish an undead army in the rear of the holy capital, this time I thought that I could destroy a caravan again and transform more ghouls and skeleton soldiers, but I didn't expect that the caravan that seemed to be lax in defense actually had such a powerful warrior.
The hundreds of ghouls that had finally expanded were wiped out, and two skeleton cavalrymen were also damaged, and the most frustrating thing was that the strength of these warriors was even higher than that of himself as a death knight, and the way the man who could turn his hands into swords was really unheard of, and the armor he wore could actually defend against the power of death entanglement.
After the rune weapon in his hand was damaged, the Death Knight decisively chose to retreat, there was no need to fight to the death, and it was the right choice to continue to maintain the force in the rear to continue to harass and expand.
Looking at the remnants of the ghouls slowly gathering from the forest, the Death Knight looked up at the sky, it was already dusk, the sun was slowly starting to set, and soon the whole land would be covered in darkness, and the dark earth would become a paradise for the dead.
Vaguely, some broken images flashed through the Death Knight's mind, which seemed to be a scene of sitting with a woman looking at the sky, telling her the story of the stars, watching her sit quietly under the night sky until dawn and ten minutes
Stupidity!
In an instant, the soul fire in the death knight's eyes burned violently. It is the memory of the living, sad and ridiculous, in this hypocritical world only the will of the great Lich King is infallible, and the weak memory of the living should not dominate his will, because he has sworn to be loyal to His Majesty the Lich King from the moment he awakens from death.
"Let's go, His Majesty the Lich King has a new order, and we'll return to the Necropolis now. ”
With a wave of his hand, the Death Knight gestured to his unintentional puppets. The losses in this battle were severe, but the Great Lich King had issued a new order that all Death Knights who had gone out were to return to the Necropolis immediately, and a new mission would be reassigned to everyone in the Knights.
As soon as he turned around with the death horse, the death knight instinctively sensed the crisis, and almost desperately lowered his head and jumped off the war horse, and in an instant, the death war horse was cut off by a sword from the neck, and the war horse that lost its head strangely ignited a raging flame from the wound, like a holy flame that purified everything, and instantly burned the war horse full of death breath and dark power.
Even if it is incarnated as an undead. A hint of amazement flashed in the Death Knight's heart, if he hadn't avoided it just now, then this blow would have cut him off.
Enemy!?
The surrounding ghouls and several bone knights immediately formed a circular defensive formation, guarding the Death Knight as the commander in the center, but there was no sound in the silent forest except the burning of fire and the sound of wind.
I didn't see it at all just now, who attacked me?
The Death Knight clenched the two-handed sword inlaid with the Scourge rune in his hand, this sword that had been his love sword when he was alive, and as a Death Knight, his own spirit was connected to the undead golem under him. What they can see, what they hear. What you feel can be fed back into your consciousness, but when the mysterious enemy attacked just now, none of the undead around you caught the other party's figure.
This is an incomparably formidable enemy, even stronger than the man in the golden armor before him.
"Rest in peace, lost dead, the nightmare that haunts you is over┉┉"
The voice rang out from behind, followed by a golden blade piercing the armor from behind. After passing through his spine and internal organs, the Death Knight looked down at the blade emerging from his chest with a shudder, what was going on!?Why did the opponent's attack come from behind, when, no? Is it important now that you are going to die?
The flames burst out of the wound, as if it had ignited fuel, and instantly spread to the Death Knight's body, the body was burning, the armor was burning, and even the soul seemed to be burning, and after becoming the dead, the Death Knight once again felt a feeling that he had forgotten - pain!!
The pain of being ignited all over the body is an indescribable extreme pain, but in the pain, the Death Knight finds that there is a more intense pain tormenting him than physical pain, and that is the pain of the heart
By the way, I remembered, that girl, she is the whole of her life, she has never had the idea and plan to abandon her, she was ready to marry her, but ┉┉ However, when he went to Granada City to fight against the undead, he died under the scheme of the undead, and after being resurrected, his distorted mind made him forget her, and forgot the lover he once swore to cherish
"Yes┉┉I'm sorry, I can't┉┉in┉┉In keeping my promise┉┉"
Gradually, under the flames, the Death Knight finally turned to ashes, but the liberated souls finally rested, at least at the last moment, the unforgettable memories returned.
Holding the sword was a tall and straight young man, with blonde hair as bright as the sun and a handsome and mighty countenance, although he did not look very old, but the same golden eyes revealed the sense of vicissitudes, and the expression of perseverance and confusion made him look as if he was a saint who saved everything, and as if he was a sinner who longed to be saved!
Standing quietly in place and watching the Death Knight turn to ashes, the man finally put down the long sword in his hand.
As the commander, the death knight was eliminated, and the undead who lost their domination around them instantly turned into violent beasts, and the instinct of the bound haters of the living was completely released, and the breath of the living exuded by the man in front of him made the undead like a pack of ** wolves with fresh meat, even if the other party eliminated the powerful death knight in an instant just now, but the undead who had no fear still pounced without hesitation.
The man swung a sword, and the flames swirled like the embodiment of anger and burned the bodies of the undead, whether it was the corrupted flesh of the ghouls or the hardened skeleton of the skeletal cavalry, it seemed to melt as quickly as cheese in front of the flames, and the golden flames exuded a strange power like the nemesis of the undead, and all the undead were reduced to ashes in an instant.
When all the undead were destroyed, the flames were extinguished instantly, and it was surprising that the earth that had just burned was intact after the flames disappeared, not even a single weed was scorched, and if it weren't for the black ashes piled up on the ground, it even made people wonder if the spiraling flames just now would be just an illusion.
After finishing everything, the golden sword in the man's hand also turned into fire and disappeared, pulled up the hood and covered his head, and the man walked in the direction of the city without saying a word.
Qom is a border city of the Kingdom of Córdoba close to the neighboring country of Zegus, although it is a border city, but Qom is not deserted, but because a large part of the trade between the two countries needs to be transported through the city, there are many domestic merchants and foreign merchants of the Chamber of Commerce stationed, in terms of population, it is also a large city of nearly 100,000 people.
Outside the city hall, several saints were escorted out by the guards, and after being sent to the city, the female paladin Philin politely invited a few people to the city hall to rest for a while, and after giving a reward for standing up in the face of the undead, Philin also interrogated everyone on the grounds that she had already learned the 'details'.
Regarding the interrogation of the holy warrior of the God of Fire, Elcid also told the truth about the situation at that time, but for the identity of his group, Elcid always insisted that he was just an ordinary traveler.
Although the knight named Kars was suspicious, but in the end Elcid and the others were released, although the other party's questions in the process were targeted, but at least there was nothing out of place and impolite, and Elcid had nothing to say about this attitude, after all, this is someone else's job, and his own group is indeed a spy in some aspects. After all, before setting off, Yalin told everyone that finding the Children of the Stars was the first task, and they could also properly collect some information about the countries in the western part of the continent at their leisure.
At the window on the fourth floor of the city hall, Fei Lin was silently looking at Elcid and the others who were gradually moving away, in the city hall just now invited five people to the city hall in fact, there is also a purpose is to test the power of the five people, there is a detection circle under the floor of the room receiving them, this is a special magic circle unique to the Holy Capital, which can detect what kind of power the people in the circle contain, if it is a cultist who worships demons, the cultist who is contaminated with the power of the abyss will appear instantly, and if it is some people who rely on illusion disguise, they can't escape the detection of the magic circle。
After being invited into the room by Fei Lin, the five people were unaware of the power in their bodies by the magic circle, and the results of this test generally dispelled Fei Lin's suspicions, although Fei Lin, as a holy warrior, wanted to say sorry to the five people, but now the western part of the continent is in a special period, and no loopholes can be left behind.
"Interesting test report, neither a cultist who worships demons, nor a fanatic cultist who worships the foolish god of the Holy See. ”
The male knight Kars on the side was still a little worried: "But maybe it's some believers who worship other evil gods." ”
Picking up the report on the table again and looking at it, Philin finally shook her head negatively at Kars and said, "Perseverance, integrity, kindness, justice, mercy, courage, dedication┉┉It's been a long time since I've seen so many positive emotions, tell me Kars, how many positive emotions and how many negative ones have you found after being tested by the 'Holy Question' circle?"
After hearing the long list of words symbolizing virtue, Kars instantly lowered his head and could not say a word again. (To be continued.) )
