Death Knight

The two stepped forward at the same time. The death knight took the lead in attacking, and the big sword in his hands whistled and tore the air, like a dazzling thunder, straight to the opponent's first level.

But Cattolie moved faster than the lightning. The girl's short black hair was almost close to the edge of the cold sword, but her eyes were focused on the target. The figure of the cricket was like a light swallow, passing by a slight difference from under the light. The next moment, the dagger in the girl's hand sharply cut the neck of the intruder.

The death knight avoided the blow in a timely manner, but the silk-like gray hair was still severed, and the hair was dancing around, and when the chaotic scene was blown away by the strong wind, the Paladin's first The second wave of attacks has already arrived. The surface of the shield with blue filaments "Thunder Binding" hit the intruder's body directly-Catori was not only good at swordsmanship.

The cross attack of the short sword and the small shield made the opponent dizzy. Under the close confrontation distance, the big sword had no room to cast, and the death knight had to deal with the paladin's side kick with a free hand. Soon, he was forced to the side of the wall.

You have nowhere to run ~! Catoli cut off all the other way-outs of the opponent and perfused the strength of her whole body on her left hand. Sensing the master's will to win a blow, Thunderbound radiated a strong light. This time, the death knight did not evade, but responded with an elbow.

The slender girl suddenly lost her balance due to the power of the mountain. Before landing on the back, Cattoli quickly opened the distance between the two with several backwards. At the moment of standing, she was ready for defense, and the death knight was able to raise the big sword again.

The blue light ran through the black cloak, making a gurgling sound. Even if it was only at the instant of the attack, the intruder's arm was still burnt into coke, and the opponent could clearly see the bones of Neri Baisensen, but the hands holding the big sword did not produce even a trace of it. Tremble.

"Can't you feel the pain? It's really a body suitable for combat," Cattoli said coldly, "but because I don't feel the pain, I will start this kind of war for my own thoughts ~ So that ’s why so many sufferings for the living ~! "

The death knight's gaze stagnated: "Maybe ... but that's the only way to achieve your wish. For you, there will be no other choice."

"Presumptuous ~! Don't confuse me with you ~!" The girl's eyes flashed the flame of anger, and the words were replaced by the blooming sword light, "I am a paladin to destroy you undead ~!"

Facing the glorious edge of the glass, the death knight once again held up his big sword and slashed his opponent with all his strength.

Thought it would hit me again this way ~! Cattoli ducked lightly.

But this time, the blurry bright silver trajectory changed direction in an incredible way. At the moment when the attack failed, the opponent turned into a sweep, and the girl had not yet responded. The cold edge of the big sword had already come. The crisp sound of the metal squeeze made the eardrums tingle, and her arms almost lost consciousness. At the moment of the moment, Catolie blocked the incomparable blow with a shield and a sword grid. However, the knocked-off body, like a kite with a broken line, fell straight down the narrow wall.

Endless darkness surrounded him from all sides. At the moment of falling, Catoli felt that time seemed to stop, but the sound of wailing wind immediately dragged her consciousness back into reality.

I must not die here ~! The emerald-colored eyes surging with unwavering determination. The girl turned her soft body, quickly adjusted her posture, and then forced her dagger into the hard wall with two hands. Under intense friction, every part of the body seemed to be stabbed with a dagger, and it was painful to tear the heart. But the girl's hand showed no sign of loosening, and she still firmly held the hilt of the sword.

Liuli scratched a huge wound on the black wall, and at the bottom of this eye-catching trace, Catoli's feet finally reached the ground. She pulled out her weapon with the last effort, and then paralyzed. On the ground.

"Katoli, are you okay? Katoli ~!" Ren held her back before the other side fell. The paladin's hands were shaking, and his eyes were irresistible. The girl's coat was already smashed under intense friction, and the bright blood slowly leaked out of the interstices of the silver chain mail inside.

"It's nothing, it's just a scratch." Catoli's gaze remained on the wall.

"How can you say that!" Rain raised the volume involuntarily. "Don't disturb me, I will treat you right away!"

"I can do it myself."

"But you are hurt now ..."

"Don't delay time, chase the death knight ~!" Cattoli suddenly grasped Renen's hand tightly. "A wound like this will not cause any problems ~ Renen, don't let me Hard work in vain ~! "

The emerald-colored pupils reflected unforgettable sadness and unwilling helplessness.

It's always like this ... Rennes suddenly felt a bit of bitterness, why should he be so attached to fighting? Why not pay more attention to things around you? You who hate the death knight so much, why do you always stay on their eyes?

"I'll go now." Ryan replied softly, and Catoli's frowned brows loosened at that moment.

"No need, His Excellency will take care of this young girl here." A voice came in suddenly, looking down the source, a man in his forties. His face was sharp-angled, his long brown hair was flying in the wind, and the worn scabbard and its huge long bow were harmoniously integrated with that strong figure.

"I'm Josephine. I'll talk about it in detail later, and give it to me now," said the man. "Of course, the credit is yours, His Excellency Cattoli." He added with a smile.

"Wait, I don't care about that ~!" The girl's pale face suddenly turned red, but the other party had already gone, just like a gust of wind.

"It seems that he is a trustworthy person," Xiu Yin arrived, commenting, while ordering the garrison to quickly gather from both sides of this wall. Just now the mage was responsible for searching in another area of ​​the city, so he missed the opportunity to intercept the death knight, but his expression remained calm as usual—people who pursue the magic way would not care about the merit.

Ryan did not answer, but immediately began to pray. With a godly mumble, the golden light spread along his hands, flowing like a stream of water into the girl's body, and the dazzling blood was washed by the light gradually. Fade away. The curtain hanging over the chain mail had not yet disappeared, and Catoli stood up staggeringly.

"Thank you, Rennes."

"How are you feeling now?" The other voice was still worried.

"Be a little confident in your beliefs, although it feels a little bit painful, but that's just the feeling, it's all good ~!" The girl answered with a smile, tearing off the shabby coat, "Xiu Yin, ready to transfer to the square. "

"This is my first visit to Borždin. It's strange to me here, and the urban environment has always been complicated, so I can't use that magic," the mage countered.

"It's not that bothersome, just teleport to the city wall!" Cattoli pointed to the huge shadow in front of her.

"So it's true, are you so anxious ..." Xiu Yin whispered to himself inconceivably softly, and the light of the pentagram appeared at his feet.

"It's a pity that the guy escaped." Josephine shook his head at the three beside him. "But there are many dwarven warriors in Boridin. I can send a night search team."

"That would only cause unnecessary sacrifice." Cattolic replied, and she had been holding her lips expressionlessly since the beginning. "The death knight is special, much stronger than the others, even if sent for a search. The team will not have results. In the final analysis, this is caused by my lack of ability. "

"Katori ..." Rain placed his hand silently on the girl's shoulder.

"If only the blow that could see through him was good." The girl lowered her head in regret.

"Don't mind, this is just one of the countless battles with the undead," Xiu Yin also came to Catoli, "the result is the most critical, isn't it? And, we have more important tasks to go Do, as long as you can achieve that task, even if you miss here. Cheer up, Master Captain. "

"Well?" Cattolie didn't respond.

"I'm talking about you, Captain Catoli, the leader of this mission." Josephine also smiled and reached out to the girl. "I was in an emergency just now, so it's rude. Allow me now Introduce yourself formally. I am the Ranger Josephine, the manager of Boridin, but people call me the 'son of the forest'. The reason for participating in this secret mission is not only to end the war as soon as possible, but also I want to find Find out how to recover the elven friends from their drowsiness. Please advise. "

Cattoli turned around and stared at the man who was taller than her in front of her: "The leader of this mission ...? ..."

"Yes." The three confirmed unanimously.

The moonlight cast a layer of tulle on the black shiny hair, and the girl's face became hazy. However, the clear eyes were now anxious, showing a beautiful jade-like color. Cattolie took Josephine's hand: "Please advise me ~! This time, we will definitely be able to complete it ~!"

When the moonlight gradually faded, Bezhdin, who had been restless all night, finally quieted down. After investigation, it was found that it was the map of Josephine's area that was taken by the death knight. Although detailed levels and troop distribution are marked above, it is of no use to the current war-Borjdin is located on the western border of Stogad, separated from the battlefield by half a country, Even relying on the power of the Ju Mo Tower, the undead can't be sent here for a large number of raids, of course, the map will not work.

Maybe it was an action taken to cross the border smoothly?

Was the death knight a member of the team dispatched by Ishtoli in order to find the power of the gods?

Are they ahead of us or behind?

In that team ... will there be that person ... the dark eagle ...

But Catoli took the last question to her heart and didn't tell anyone.

Josephine quickly took measures not only to convey the mutation to the French King's Hall, but also issued a martial law order, hoping to intercept the death knight on the national border-after all, no matter how the undead concealed, it is also very conspicuous here. On the second day after the night raid was over and everything was ready, the four-member team relied on the transfer of the Phalanx to reach the national border, and from there, they would trek to the first stop outside the territory of the Lucifer Alliance- Belial village.

"You can't use the transfer square ..." Xiu Yin couldn't help but sigh. The hilly terrain along the way couldn't be considered flat.

Long-distance teleportation depends on the magic of the magic circle in the Temple of Travel and the positioning of the destination in advance, while short-distance teleportation requires an accurate map. After leaving the alliance's territory, neither of these two conditions can be met.

"But if you pay close attention now, it will be much more convenient when you return." Josephine comforted each other.

"Depending on personal strength, the transmission is only a few hundred kilometers at a time." The young mage was still very depressed, "I don't know how far the road is ..."

"Still focus on moving forward, but tonight, we can take a good rest in the hotel." The Ranger replied with a smile.

"Here it is." Leading Catoli stopped, staring intently.

Rolling hills, clear rivers, fat grass, noisy robin, and cute hares. The beautiful natural scenery delights the traveler. This land does not belong to either Fahdot, the Western nation, nor to the Luvis Alliance. People here believe in Lloyd's, but they still have an ancient tradition. Well-intentioned visitors are welcomed warmly, while heart-witted people have no place to hide. This is the village of Belial.

The four walked on the street until they stopped at the turn. In front of me is a white stone building with a solid surface without any decoration, which looks both classic and simple. The distant and peaceful atmosphere is slowly flowing out of the open door, as if a warm current is rushing back in the hall.

"It seems to be a temple?" Rain was a little confused.

"But it's not the Temple of Luviz, there is no statue of the goddess Luviz." Cattoli's gaze turned to Josephine beside him, and the other side only shrugged, saying he knew nothing about it. .

"I don't think there are other gods in this world besides Luvis." Xiu Yin's voice went down. "Still, Ishtoli ..."

"Young man, this is not the Temple of Luviz." A husky voice came in without warning. Its owner was a man in his forties, with a bold beard and a whole body. His muscles were well-proportioned and strong, and even Josephine was short in front of him. But more striking than that height were the cast iron right arm and right leg.

"So where is this?" The interrupted mage was a little unhappy.

"Are you guys a traveler?" The man opened his mouth wide and smiled. "This is the Temple of Spirits. Every Belial knows what this building represents." He then patted his prosthetic with his healthy left hand. "This is one of the consequences of the events commemorated by the Temple of Spirits."

"Is the enemy invading? Are you a warrior?"

"It's not too early, I'll take you to the Old Oak Bar." The man looked at the sunset that was gradually falling, and the sunset was busy painting the white elves' temple with warm orange. "As for this history, just please Belair's best blacksmith, Bill, drinks rum, and you can learn everything you want ~! "

"It will look very interesting." Cattoli also seemed to be infected by the humor. Although the girl had to pay for it, the girl had no intention of rejecting it. "This transaction is fair, I accept it. Please lead the way, Mr. Bill."

"Of course, and even though the Belials have never been to a big city, the etiquette of the beautiful lady is absolutely attentive, I promise ~!" The blacksmith blinked.

Obviously, this blacksmith named Bill did not do this kind of thing twice or more. Because when a group of people entered the old oak bar, no one showed surprise. Instead, the villagers congratulated Bill with a grin-they don't have to pay for wine today. And the praise of the public for Catoli's beauty made the girl's fair face flush with a blush--despite the strict training and the experience of the paladin, but for the compliments from many strangers, Ka Tori is still a little overwhelmed.

Now Bill had a rum bottle in his hand and sat comfortably on a wooden chair, while Cattolic, Shuin, Rennes and Josephine were sitting beside him. Tonight they plan to relax a bit. After all, there is still a long way to go, and listening to a historical legend is the best way to relax.

"That was 17 years ago. Using your calendar, it should be the end of 2016. As the young man guessed," Bill pointed at Rennes with the bottle, "I was a fighter at that time, Responsible for leading the garrison team in the village of Belil. At that time there was a team and four people. The dwarves and orcs were experienced warriors, equipped with powerful weapons. However, it was the man and the one who really attracted us. Female."

"The boy has bright blond long hair and is a very beautiful person. Some people even suspect that he is a woman. And the girl ... like the lady in front of her, has black hair and green eyes."

"Is it the same as me?" Catolie's emerald eyes glanced through the waves.

"Although seventeen years have passed, I still remember these two characteristics very clearly." Staring at the girl in front of me, the blacksmith's memory gradually became clearer, "I guess, even in big cities, Miss Catoli It can be regarded as a beautiful woman of one hundred miles. But the young girl did not lose you at all. I am a rough man, I do n’t know how to describe it, but that feeling ... I ca n’t forget ... ”

"In the beginning we thought they were from Fahdud, the western country, and they might be elopes of the nobles. The dwarves and orcs were guards, and no one thought that the boy could use the big sword. But later, we Only to find that those self-righteous guesses are simply big jokes. "

"The team replenished water and food in this village. Although they looked tired, no matter how we kept them, they were also reluctant to stay here. It seemed like they were in a hurry to go to Elazia. And that incident It happened that night. "

"Is the enemy invading ..." Ren asked softly.

"If they were humans, I would have the confidence to fight them back." Bill's answer was helpless, the blacksmith subconsciously touched his unconscious prosthetic limbs, and then put the bottle into his mouth. "But when I saw clearly When the face of the person is scared, their legs are frightened. They are demons ~! Demons from the twisted void ~! "

"I know that no one will believe when they first listen to this history." The blacksmith glanced at the four people who couldn't hide the surprise, and the other villagers nodded silently to them, "But that is In fact, I later searched for a lot of information, so I knew their names. Hell dog, abyss banshee, and Pyre, these things that can only appear in books, but in front of our eyes, and destroy crazy Everything ~! "

"I am proud of my former defense team captain. No one flinched at that time! The soldiers suppressed their fear and rushed to the nearest **** dog. Each of its three heads killed one person, but we also It turned it into a horse honeycomb. The situation was terrible later, and the number of **** dogs was large, and we couldn't hurt the flames. During the battle, I was swept by the flames of the flames and fainted. "

"If it weren't for the team to come back, not only would Bill die, but even the village would be razed to the ground." The hotel owner brought a fourth bottle of rum and took the blacksmith's word. "We don't It's clear how they learned that dangerous battles were happening here, and they later said nothing, but the young girl's healing skills were really superb. "

"When I woke up, I found I was dragged to the corner of the battlefield, and the wound was carefully bandaged. The boy was in front of my eyes, fighting the Fire Demon. The big sword was waving in his hand. Now, the loud whistling is like an extension of the arm. Even on a treacherous battlefield, I have never seen such a fight ~! Then I understand that he is not a nobleman, but a powerful man. Warrior ~! "

"Then it started to snow, it was not ordinary snow, because the ice flowers flying in the sky were sharper than the blades, and they seemed to be guided, and they would always shoot at those evil creatures. The demons had to Retreat. At the time, I thought it was a miracle ... but then I knew it was magic. "

"Li magic ~!" Xiu Yin shouted uncontrollably. Everyone in Citing looked at it, but Catori coldly motioned to calm down.

"Yes, have you heard of it? It's magic ~!" Bill nodded, "The girl explained that this is a way to rely on the will to influence the spirit world and the world, and rely on the four holy kings of the spirit world. Power, so we built the spiritual temple as she said to commemorate this incident. The village suffered heavy losses, and crops and homes were damaged a lot, but people did not lose faith. I ca n’t be a warrior, but I can be a blacksmith, and relying on the iron arm mounted on magic, except for being heavier, it is not worse than anyone ~! "

"Can you ask a question?" Cattoli interrupted the narrative.

"Please feel free."

"What's that girl's name?"

"old."

"Then the name of the dwarf should be Muradin, and the name of the orc is Astaroth," the girl's face was covered with haze. "And the swordsman ... the man using the big sword should be Roland, right? Roland_ Streve. "

"So you know them?" The blacksmith, who was paralyzed by alcohol, replied in surprise, he didn't notice the change in the surrounding atmosphere.

Cato Lee's lips moved, but he seemed to have lost the function of speech and could not answer each other. Penetrating into the real moment, the defenseless heart lost the foundation stone.

I will never admit it ~! It is so worshipped just because a village has been saved, what are those lives that were sacrificed in the war? Nothing can be a reason for that person to wield a sword, nor can any trace of the past be a reason to forgive him ~!

After a short while, with the worried gaze of Rennes, Catoli finally answered.

"Yes, I know about him, but I'm also ashamed of it!" The girl's tone was repressed with anger, her voice was not loud, but everyone in the bar heard it clearly, "Even if I have saved other people, but I ca n’t change that personality. For the sake of my hatred, I have to become a death knight and take the war for granted. Such a selfish guy, I will never agree with it! No matter what the past, now Roland , Is already an evil undead known as the Dark Eagle ~! "

"Katori, calm down ..." Rain tried to shake his opponent's hand, but was shaken away.

"I'm calm now, and I believe there is no reason for you to refute me." Cattoli smiled elegantly, but coldly, "It's not worth spending so much time listening to boring things. Lost, I Going to rest. "

However, the screams from the street suddenly tore the rigid atmosphere. A guard soldier covered in blood stumbled into the bar, his voice mixed with irresistible fear: "It's the devil ~! The devil is coming ~!"

"How is that possible?" Bill stood up first.

The turbulence and uneasiness breathed into the crowd from outside the room.

Catoli immediately entered the state of war, and the anger in her eyes was extinguished by the calm and sharp eyes for a moment. The shy figure showed unimaginable lightness, quickly passed the bar table, and came to the cold street.

Opposite the bar door, six blood-red eyes were staring at the cold-looking girl, a **** dog. It has three heads, each with a sharp, protruding fang. Acid water dripped from the corner of the slightly trembling mouth, causing a stink of smoke on the stone path.

Catoli calmly put on the offensive posture. She put the small shield in front of her, and the short sword hid behind. The next moment, the girl rushed towards the **** dog in the dark like a sharp arrow.

The three blood pots bite together, not only sealing the left and right sides, but also attacking the key to Catoli. But the girl swiftly lowered her body and slid past the monster's feet by virtue of inertia. Liuli opened a long and narrow wound on the belly of the **** dog, and Thunder Binding wrapped the roaring lightning around her whole body. Three heads roared at the same time. But for powerful demons, that's not fatal. Catori knew this too, and as she stood up, she leapt onto the opponent's back with a beautiful flip and buried the dagger deep in the helldog's body.

"Cattorie ~!" Rennes rushed out of the bar, but fell into a fierce battle-there were six nearby **** dogs, and by now their attention had all been attracted. Xiuyin and Josephine immediately stepped forward to support, one chanted protective magic, and one sniped the demon with a longbow.

The whole village made a mess, and the fire broke out from time to time. The screams of women and children, the collision of sharp swords and fangs, the explosion of fireballs, and the loud noise of the collapse of houses all eventually mixed into the devil's roar.

The sharp point of the dagger explored in the monster's body, and finally touched a hard object—the demon heart, which was the source of the powerful vitality of the devil. With the faint but clear glass breaking sound, the **** dog finally fell to the ground. However, Catoli has no time to rest.

The Balrog on the other street split open the house in front of him and growled and came to the girl. This is the first time Catoli has stood face to face with a mid-level demon. The other person was over eight meters taller than the two-story building. There are two huge horns on top of the head, red eyes glow in the pupilless eyes, and hot magma erupts from time to time. Track.

Yan Mo holds a nine-headed whip in his left hand, and a large sword formed by flames in his right hand. This not only expands its confrontation distance to more than ten meters, but also will not be at a disadvantage in close combat.

Is this the real demon? Catoli felt cold sweat flowing down her spine. The powerful force from the distorted void is more dangerous and evil than the undead. My dagger is not forged to fight this kind of thing ... Can I defeat the other by my own strength?

The girl was a little shy, but she immediately remembered the conversation. ...... If that person has done it before ... I have no reason to flinch ~! I will defend this village this time ~!

However, before Catolie's attack, the Enchanter hissed in pain. A large sword wrapped in ice pierced its throat. The sword-bearer stood on the back of the opponent, and at the moment the hot current rushed towards himself, he suddenly jumped off the demon's shoulder seven meters off the ground, his hands still holding the sword tightly. Driven by the weight, the whole sword turned like a blade of a windmill, and cut off the first stage of Yanmao with ease.

The sharp horns fell into the ground, and the headless mobile volcano fell to the ground. The swordman jumped up again, and accurately inserted the big sword into the trembling chest. With the fragmentation of the demon heart, the entire body was transformed into countless Mars and ashes in an instant.

Under the scattered light, the swordman's long golden hair reflected in Catoli's eyes.
