Volume 5 Return of the King 174 The Four Horsemen of the Scourge
Armor is a luxury.
It is equivalent to a soldier's second life or a third, fourth, or even fifth, and this is not an exaggeration.
The biggest disadvantage of the human body compared to wild beasts is that its defensive function is not as good as that of other animals, even if it is a pig. And the greatest merit of human beings is to make tools, and armor is.
Whether it is cotton cotton armor, leather armor made of tanned leather, chain mail woven with iron rings, or piercing and plate armor that only few people have. These are all measures taken by humans to protect the soft body, but the higher the armor, not only the more expensive it is to manufacture, but also the cost of maintenance.
The name of a knight is nice, but it is not easy to become a knight, and even the poorest knight will have a squire after becoming a knight. A squire is a servant who helps him lead his horse, helps him with chores, and even maintains his equipment. If a knight doesn't even have a squire, then that person must not be a real knight.
Of course, there will be people waiting for knights during wars, especially paladins, and there will be special people who will be in charge of the daily life of this group of paladins. It's just that most of the paladins during the Orc War were not hypocritical, they could basically take care of themselves on their own, and there would be some squires to provide some help.
This was not the case once the war entered the time of peace, and knights gradually became the only way to step into the ranks of the nobility, and the manifestation of status was the most useless in wartime. In addition to being gorgeous, the defense power of the gorgeous plate armor will not change much, of course, the more gorgeous the plate armor, the more it is not something that ordinary people can use.
As the armor with the highest defensive power, the biggest advantage of this kind of thing is that it can basically provide the greatest protection for the whole body, and it can also allow you to hold on to the battlefield for a little longer. If you don't have to be physically exhausted or several people are thrown to the ground and your helmet is stripped off, there won't be much of a problem.
Most soldiers will flash a little farther away when they encounter a heavily armed knight on the battlefield. Oh...... I forgot to mention that their war horses are not ordinary war horses, let alone mules. The power of the plate knight on the horse is terrifying.
Of course, the current Death Knights are on foot, they don't have horses, and if they ride horses, the battle is over.
The head is the most important organ in the body, and it is not easy to damage the skull inside by destroying the helmet and injuring the brain inside by concussing the skull. And the Death Knight wasn't afraid of concussions at all, and this was it, and he didn't close his eyes until I smashed his skull.
The rest of the battle didn't change much, I attracted seven or eight Death Knights myself, and in the end I really couldn't dodge and had to run around the large room, but that immediately caused problems for my companions.
No one wants to be fighting desperately when they suddenly see another enemy emerge from behind them. And my running made this happen, after the battle scene was disrupted, those death knights in addition to arresting me were to see someone's weakness and run to him, and when they saw someone who was in a bad situation, they would join the battle to try to turn the tide of their comrades' battle.
But I only have me, and I can only run when there are more than four Death Knights around. And when I found that there were only three Death Knights behind me, I would decisively pull out my musket and shoot at the guy behind me who was not so agile.
I have to say that these guys are indeed much more powerful than living people, and they don't lag behind me too much when they run with such thick armor. And it's not easy to kill these steel monsters, and if it weren't for the muskets, I think I might have had a bit of a hard time with them.
And the slap in the face with a musket is not easy to do every time, just one bullet was magically bounced away. Oh...... The guy's visor is beak-shaped.
It's not as easy as chopping melons and vegetables, and although the blood elves don't have as many spells as the magicians, they all have some magical abilities, so in the end, the blood elves are the only ones who don't have a prize, oh no, and the guy named Castellan.
The others were all wounded to a greater or lesser extent, and when there were still two Death Knights left, there was a roar of rage, and a guy on a war horse rushed out of the gate.
"O boy in search of your father, you and your friends have proved your valor, but that's about it." At this time, it turned out to be a woman's voice. "I will guide you to a new life, and your father will be proud of you."
The knight, dressed in blue, turned out to be a woman.
"Maybe I should leave him to his father, I think it makes more sense for him to do such an important ceremony." At this moment, a dwarf rode out of the door.
"As a compassionate person, I advise you to get out of here quickly." A man wearing a winged helmet also appeared in front of us on horseback.
"Serijek! Your mercy will make you weak, and your weakness is the greatest cruelty to us. The dwarf said.
"Okay then...... Kurtaz, their death was not what I wanted, I ...... It is also persecuted. The man said. Their deaths cannot be counted on my head. ”
"What are they talking nonsense?" The Blood Elf said.
"They're all crazy!" The dwarf said.
"Where's my father!" Darien shouted.
"Can't wait for a new life?" The dwarf named Kurtaz snorted.
"Leave that kid to Mograini that guy, I'll choose that little white face." The woman smiled and pointed at the blood elves.
"Who do you call Little White Face!" The Blood Elf retorted.
"As an elf, the way you look makes me feel like I can't get enough strength in my body." The woman said, "And to ravage you will be my greatest pleasure." ”
The blood elf gritted its teeth and glared at the woman on horseback.
"You look like a little milk puppy." The woman laughed profusely. Saying that, she raised her hand, and the war horse under her crotch stood up directly, "Dedicating yourself to me will be the greatest glory in your life!" ”
She rushed over, and as the weapon she was holding pointed at us, the Blood Elf Frelyn shouted, "Be careful! Get out of the way! ”
I ran out a few steps and looked back to see a puff of black smoke rising from the ground, and the smoke smelled scorching and sizzling the floor. And where we were standing, there was a black circle about two meters in diameter.
And when I turned my head, I saw the man rushing towards me, "Siryek doesn't want you to die, Seryrk needs you to die!" He shouted and rushed up.
The weapon in this guy's hand is a warhammer, but the warhammer is no longer what a human knight should be, but has been replaced by a skull.
The speed of the war horse made the hammer he swung with a strong wind, and it was not difficult for me to dodge, after all, there was only one, but after I dodged it, I saw a figure standing in the darkness in the distance. And I can figure that figure with my little toes...... That should be Mograini!
The guy named Serijek turned his horse's head and pounced on me again, and I dodged again, and this guy learned to be clever too, and he made a sharp stop after swinging again, and the horse under his crotch stood up directly, and the pair of huge hooves hung over my head.
And in the midst of this millennium, a chubby figure appeared in my sight, and the figure crashed directly into Serijek, who was riding on a horse. I heard a strange scream from Serijek and fell off his horse.
"You!" The dwarf got up from the ground, "the words ......," he gritted his teeth and squeezed out the word, "what a lot!" He raised his hammer high and slammed it down on Serijek.
The Seriyak on the ground rolled in a circle, and the dwarven hammer slammed into the ground. As soon as Seryek got up from the ground, he swept his hammer behind him.
I jumped up and joined the fight, but this Seryek wasn't what I expected, and he didn't seem to be as good as a death knight. I'm still very happy to face such a guy, and the weaker the enemy, the sooner I can go home. But when I jumped up to him, I was suddenly swept to the ground by the tremendous force generated around his body.
It's swept to the ground!
It was a force that came out of nowhere, as fast as a hurricane, but when it hit me, it felt like being hit by a carriage. When I fly out, I can also call it sweep out, or I can call it push or bump out.
And when I fell, I shrank and hugged my head, and the power made me dizzy, and when I looked up from the ground at the dwarf Branigan, he was swept away by the force.
I screamed, rolled over, drew my musket and fired three shots at him. I'd rather let him lie down quickly, this guy who looks like a weak chicken can spell too!
The sound of the three muskets caught everyone's attention, and when I saw Mograini, who was still standing in the corner, move, I felt that I had just done it right. It's always right to take out enemies quickly!
"Father!" Darien saw Mograine rushing over on horseback.
"One trouble after another, but this one seems to be a big one!" The woman screamed angrily. "I won't allow him to die! Mograini! I'm going to cut off his head myself! ”
That woman was shouting at me! And Mograini came at me, too. But at that moment, the woman's body tilted violently, and she screamed and fell straight off her horse, and a throwing axe stuck in her chest. I didn't have time to see who threw the axe, but I was so happy with the blow that I had to kiss him when the fight ended.
At this point, Mograini rushed in front of me.
Yes...... Brother, your face is really ugly!
