Volume 5 The Return of the King 86 Give up
Have you been poked through?
Lie......
Hmph, I was poked many times when I lied when I was a child, so much so that later I learned how to read words and how to speculate on other people's thoughts in continuous learning and practice, but this time I admit that I am going to be planted.
"I'm not lying." I say.
His face was getting more and more ugly, "I thought you were at least a man who dared to act." He said, "I didn't expect you...... Not really. ”
"I've already told you that I didn't follow him, and that's what happened. There is no doubt about it. ”
"Where you have walked, where you have been destroyed, our scouts are not blind, and those who survive are not blind, they will tell us the truth." "You can't argue with that," he said. And...... When Uther was killed...... You're there for him too. ”
I stared at the man in front of me, now searching in my head for any reason I could get rid of.
Uther...... I trust you a lot. He said slowly, "But you did this to him!" The tone of the words has changed.
"It's not what you think, Sedan." I say. "Even if your people see it with their own eyes, the truth is often more than you think."
"Tell me, then...... The truth is...... What! ”
"Arthas has taken control of me." I stared intently, unwaveringly at him. "I was ...... Can't resist. ”
Saidan snorted, the corners of his mouth twitching, "That's the reason you're looking for...... Very bad! ”
"I'm telling the truth." I snorted too, "The person who controls Lordaeron City right now should have heard her name. ”
Saidan didn't speak, he was stopped by my words.
"That woman was also controlled." I said, but as soon as I said this, I felt a buzz in my brain, and if I were still alive, I guess the sweat would come down by this time.
Saidan frowned, "How did he control you?" ”
"I don't know, but he does have an ability that can breathe the heart, irresistible, and irreversible."
"How did you feel when Uther was killed by Arthas?" He asked me.
"I don't feel anything." I say.
"You ......" Ethan Lien scolded angrily, "You say it again! ”
"I said it...... I couldn't control myself at all. I said.
"Excuses!" Ethan Lion looked at Saidan and pointed his finger at me, his fingers trembling, he looked angry.
"When you face Artace, I want you to have that courage and guts." I said to Ethan Lien.
"What about Arthas?" Saidan said.
"You know what he did?"
"Destroy Lordaeron, then go north and destroy Quel'Thalas, then turn around and destroy Dalaran as well." He said, "And he also summoned demons, am I right?" ”
"You only know one thing...... I don't know the second one. I said, "Go to Quel'Salas to resurrect a great magician of Kenrito, Kel'thugad, and destroy Dalaran to ...... To summon the forces of destruction. ”
"And where did you go after you destroyed Dalaran?"
"Go West...... Occidental...... A piece of land. I said.
"Land ...... of the West," Saidan had a clear look of disbelief on his face. And then what? ”
And then ...... He went to the north where we had been. ”
"You went with you?"
"Yes."
"Is anyone else still there?"
I nodded.
"Then why did you come back?"
"I didn't know, all of a sudden it felt like my soul was free, I was free." I say. "And I ...... to him To be honest, there is no emotion, and there is no ...... Obligation. ”
Saidan looked at me with a frown, and Ethan Lion said, "Like the Forsaken?" ”
I glared at the birdman when he said this, but I suddenly felt something was wrong and immediately withdrew my gaze.
Saidan seemed to sense something, "like the Forsaken......"
"The same what?" Rhetorical question.
"Get free...... Saidan said slowly, but there was complete scrutiny in his eyes.
"Yes...... Freely. I echoed.
"Then what are you going to do when you come back this time?"
"I just...... I miss my former friends. I said.
"Hmph......" Saidan snorted, "you're an accomplice of Arthas, and you don't have any friends left. ”
"And you're telling me how Mograini died?" I asked directly.
His face sank, "You know quite a lot." ”
"I met the Crusaders in the Hillsbrad area, and they told me that."
"Hmph...... Mograini died heroically, he died in battle! Although his death was a great and irreparable loss to our crusaders, I felt solace in the fact that he died a glorious and well-deserved death, at least not at your hands. He said.
I didn't expect this usually silent guy to be so ruthless in making sarcasm!
"Thank you for your sentiment." I said, "I'm going to mourn his ......."
"You should go to Uther's tomb first and confess!" Ethan Leon roared.
I took a deep breath, "Is his tomb here?" ”
As I walked out of that room, I suddenly felt a sense of relief, and I felt like I was going to fight at any moment. And it was only when I walked out of the castle and into the white building that I slowly regained my strength.
I touched the musket at my waist, maybe I shouldn't have been so worried.
Uther's tomb was built very ...... Solemn, the statue of him in that sanctuary was unusually holy in the sunlight shining in from the windows on all sides.
His image was carved out of white marble, and I don't know how they used it, and the circular dome of the sanctuary glowed with a faint yellow and white light, and the whole statue was bathed in this light. He held a warhammer in one hand and a ...... in the other
Yes! OMG! That's when I remembered! After all these years, I've forgotten it all! Soladin's legacy, the same tome that Master Fao gave to each of the five men.
I hurried forward, but as soon as I entered the door, I was scolded by the person hiding behind the door. "Get out!"
I looked at him in amazement, it turned out to be a ...... High Elves.
He squinted at me, his eyes full of disdain. "Who are you?"
"I'm an old friend of his." I say. "I'll ...... Tribute to him. ”
He looked at me and said, "Then please stand outside the door." He gestured out the door.
"Why?" I frowned.
"No one is allowed to enter this church without permission." He said.
"Allowed?" I snorted, "Why should I be allowed to come in?" ”
"Mortals who step into this place in sinful bodies must be neatly dressed and with respect." He said, "It is not with your reckless attitude that you have ruined the peace of this church. ”
"Fart you!" I scolded directly: "You didn't know where you were when I called him brother and brother!" ”
"Please get out!" He yelled.
"I'm not in a good mood today." I said, "And I'm here to honor my brother, not for you to tell me what to do." ”
"You're going to have to follow my rules here!" He said. "It doesn't matter who you are! And...... If you really are his brother, you shouldn't be so rude! ”
"you!" I just opened his outstretched hand and broke in. Suddenly, I felt a light in front of me, a flash of light, and I only felt as if I had been hit hard in my chest, and I took two steps backwards and almost fell out of it.
I glared at him, and I saw that the guy's hands were shining, and there was a glint in his eyes. At this time, I wanted to draw my gun, but I thought that I should not toss, I hurriedly retreated, but it was too late, and suddenly a golden light flashed and my chest was hit again and I fell straight out.
He looked haughty when he appeared in front of the temple door, "There's no way a fanatic like you would let you in and defile this place!" ”
Getting up from the ground, I glared at him and said, "Don't say he's dead, even if he's alive, you'll be beaten today!" With that, I threw myself at it. The guy's body suddenly glowed, and a protective shield similar to that of a paladin appeared around his body blocked in front of the door.
At this time, I couldn't care about anything else, to be honest, I had basically never fought with paladins before, and those who fought were already at the end of their crossbows, and they didn't release the skills that their paladins had cultivated at all. And this time, when I saw the so-called holy light unfolding before me, of course I would not let it go.
But I did overlook the protective shield, and when I pounced on it, there was a force that directly stopped me from moving forward, and that force was very similar to the resistance when I was blown by the wind, except that there was no wind at this time.
The High Elf glared at me, and I gritted my teeth to break through the resistance, his hands began to tremble, and the shield looked like I was about to break through!
He screamed, I knew he was very hard, but at this time yelling is definitely something that only a fool can do, and when the force suddenly unloaded, I pounced on him, grabbed the collar of his clothes, and grabbed his legs and feet with an upward step, and I twisted my body, bent over, and threw him directly!
"I'll you!" He was slammed to the ground by an over-the-shoulder throw.
The guy didn't move on the spot.
I heard a "click" just now...... Ah! Looking at this guy lying on the ground with his eyes closed, he seemed to faint. Quickly reached out and touched his snort, and then touched his carotid artery......
Not dead!
Then you can lie down again!
Glancing back at the door, it seemed that his scream just now did not attract the attention of the people around him. So I stood in front of Uther's statue and looked up at his still resolute face.
I don't know who carved this statue, it doesn't look like it at all. Aside from the armor warhammer that would let me know it was Uther, walking in and looking at his face really had nothing to do with him.
But there is no need for that clumsy carver, I remember Uther's appearance, and I will never forget his appearance, his eyes, his mouth, his beard, his voice and smile.
The faint light above my head shone gently on this statue, and I reached out and touched it, it was cold and hard. I thought it wasn't so cold in this holy light.
On the high pedestal were candlesticks, holy vessels, holy water, fruit that looked so fresh, flowers, and incense burners that rose with smoke.
Behind the flowers, a piece of black marble is inlaid on it, and the text is carved on it, and the text is traced in gold.
"First Paladin......" I muttered. Although no one is better than any one in the power of Sedan, the name of the First Paladin is none other than Uther.
"The ...... of the Knights of the Silver Hand Founder. I nodded.
"Uther has sworn to defend the kingdom of Lordaeron to the death, and despite the betrayal of his most beloved student, we believe in the immortality of his soul." After reading this, I looked up at his chin and said softly, "I knew you were ...... back then." Very sad and extremely ...... Saddened. But at the time, I was already ...... Not me. I sighed deeply, "I'm sorry...... "Looking at his portrait, I suddenly remembered that I felt a sour nose before, "I'm sorry! ”
"Even when bad luck befalls our homeland, he still watches over us." I caressed the string of words, "His light will illuminate the path of all mankind." ”
"As long as we continue to follow his example, it will never go away...... "I felt extremely uncomfortable after reading these words softly, and I wanted to cry...... But there was not a single tear in the eyes.
I don't know if I'll ever come to see him again in the future, just like Lothar.
These two are the two most important people I've felt so far, but they're both dead, and they're both dead in front of me!
I can't do anything about Lothar's death, when Uther was stabbed to death by Arthas...... I was indifferent.
He was the first person to shine into my sad life like the sun, he said that he believed in me and would always believe in me, he said that he could not be mistaken, I must be a person who is not simple. The scenes of that year flashed in my mind, his smile, and every move I still remember!
I remember the first time we fought, I remember that he was always nice to me, and I remember how he saved me.
I forgot...... I can't even remember when Arthas killed him, when he killed him in front of me!
What a cold-blooded guy I am! I'm really damned! How did I manage to be indifferent?
How many people in the world can believe in me as much as he does? How many others can treat me like my own brother? And how many other people can I put all my heart out and trust him unconditionally?
I felt aggrieved while riding on the horse, and I was sad! Even cry out loud! But I can't! I simply can't do it! The feelings that come out of my heart are only grievances! I want to be sad! But I couldn't change this feeling in my heart.
I screamed so loudly that the birds in the woods flew away.
Looking at the yellowish and hazy sky, I suddenly felt extremely depressed.
If it weren't for the sound of horses' hooves behind me, I would have continued to be depressed. The people who came were Crusader soldiers, and there were not many of them, a dozen people, but this group of people did not happen to pass by.
"Is that him?" The man at the head did not shy away from it, shouted at me to stop, walked around me, and then asked a guy on the side, I knew the man, who was the guard of the camp.
"It's him!" The man said.
He frowned and squinted at me, "You have to go back with us." He said.
"Why?"
"You've done something very bad." He said.
"What?"
"I don't need to explain to you here, and I have no obligation to explain to you, come back with me, our Great Crusade wants you back."
"Reason."
He grimaced and shook his head, "I'm just carrying out orders. He said.
"I'm sorry about that." I kicked the horses and were about to go, when suddenly they all drew their weapons.
"I've seen it a long time ago." He said. "You're not alive, are you?" He stared at me with a wide range of eyes.
"Get out of the way, I won't embarrass you." I say.
"Hah!" He laughed and said, "Today we caught a big man!" ”
Before he could finish speaking, I clamped my legs, and the horse started. Before anyone could raise his sword, my horse slammed into it, arching headlong at the one who took the lead. The guy panicked, and the sword he raised fell a beat too late.
The arm of his raised sword was caught by me and could not fall, and my right hand grabbed him directly at his neck, and then he fell off his horse with a strange scream. There was nothing wrong with breaking out of their encirclement, maybe they did not take me seriously because of the large number of people, and I pulled out my musket after rushing out.
I saw a reckless fellow rushing at me with his mouth wide open and angry eyes wide open, sword raised, and screaming, but after a single shot he fell off his horse. Aimed the gun at another person, and without hesitation, fired another shot, and another person fell off his horse, and another person fell off his horse.
I could clearly see the surprise on their faces, but it was too late, they couldn't stop attacking me now, so they had to keep catching up. And I didn't rush to turn around and change guns as I ran. After I shot down three more, they wisely chose to keep their distance. But this deliberate distance was not very good for me, so I put my musket back in and drew my bow and arrows.
And after the arrow shot down a man, they chose to retreat!
Smart choice! But I'm not going to let them go! They chased me instead of me chasing a few of them. And in the end, I couldn't help it, and they scattered and fled, each fleeing to his own place. After I had knocked the leader off his horse, I stopped the pursuit.
I jumped off my horse and looked at the guy who had fallen to the ground and was dying. "You didn't expect this to be the end of your life just now." I crouched in front of him.
He raised his eyelids and looked at me, and by this time he was speechless, and the arrow in his back was shot deeply.
"You just said the Great Crusade." I tilted my head, and he looked like he was going to play dead. "You mean Saidan Dasohan, right?"
Seeing that he closed his eyes, I patted him on the face, "You don't have to play dead, I won't kill you immediately." I said, "You said just now that I am not alive." I pinched his face and twisted it hard, and he opened his eyes. Did you say it, or did Saidan say it? ”
He just looked at me with his eyes, his chest heaving slightly, and he seemed sad. "Tell me, and I'll let you go."
He still didn't speak, he didn't even blink his eyes and just stared at me.
"You blink when he said it." I say.
As soon as he finished speaking, he blinked. I thought I was wrong, "Really?" Are you sure? Make sure you blink. ”
He blinked again.
I snorted, and stood up. "If you live to see him, tell him not to have any bad intentions for me, and stay away from me, and if you annoy me, I will let you know what the price is." With that, I got on my horse and left.
The city of Andorhar was a complete wasteland, and the gates of the city were so wide open that after a moment of hesitation, I decided to go in and take a look.
Grass has grown on the city roads, and there are few decent houses on both sides of the road, most of them have collapsed roofs, and some have been burned to the ground.
When I saw the first skeleton coming at me, I knew that Ethan Lion was right, these things were completely different from the Forsaken, they were the purest ...... Scourge of the Dead!
After crushing their heads, the body fell to the ground. It's that simple! But soon things didn't get that simple, and they came together more and more. In the end, I had to climb onto the roof of the house, which was already riddled with holes.
The sight in front of me reminds me of the tide of corpses in the past, it was really spectacular! Countless undead are gathering more and more. Just the scene in front of me, not to mention the Scarlet Crusaders, even if all of them are paladins watching, they have to be terrified.
So I began to run away, running frantically from the rooftops of one street to another, and after a dozen or so blocks in a row, I threw off the spirits of the dead under my feet. Thanks to my quick legs, I can still maintain such a fast speed in such a shabby place. But after following the house to the center of the city, I couldn't find out who the leader of the group of undead was.
They must have a leader, otherwise there would never be such a large group of corpses, but this guy seems to be hiding quite deeply, and I really don't know where he is hiding. In front of us is the place where Kel'thugad was killed, and not far from the place where Uther died, which I can still recognize, although it is dilapidated.
As the center of the city, it should be reasonable for their leaders to hide in such a place. And whether it's hidden here, I'll have to go in and see.
I remember that the building on the opposite side of the square was the council hall of the city, and there was not a single undead in the square, but I didn't dare to walk through such an empty place, this was looking for death! So I slipped along the edge of the square, and forty meters in front of me was the door of the council building, when suddenly there was a slight commotion behind me.
Turning my head, an undead leaned out of a corner behind me, staring at me with those blue eyes, yes, those familiar blue eyes, the blue eyes of the Lich King's most loyal servants!
