Death Knight

"Look, that's right there! We're going to the village soon!" Frond said excitedly, pointing at the smoke rising from not far away.

Compared to the townships of the Lloyds Alliance, Enoch Village is obviously much smaller. The overall layout of the village is simple. The three short and straight avenues are all transportation facilities. They form a small square at the junction of the village's center, and in the private houses attached to both sides of the road, there are nearly three hundred Villagers-this number is only one-seventh of Belial.

Five kilometers northwest of this is the famous Grandale River. According to Flanders, the suspension bridge is not only the narrowest channel, but also the most turbulent river. And the faint but clear roar mixed in the air at this moment proved to everyone that it was the roar of the tireless waves hitting the rocks.

"We are only one step away from the land of dreams, and we can set off tomorrow in search of the capital of the stars ~! I didn't expect that I could even get a chance to witness the miracle." Xiu Yin could not wait to swim across the river to climb the mountain immediately.

"But if you are not fully prepared, this step is enough to kill your life." The death knight poured cold water on the mage, but the next moment, the scene reflected in his eyes frowned.

Compared with 17 years ago, the village of Fahdot would actually decline to this extent ...

When Catori and his party entered the village, most of the villagers simply hid at home and watched from the open door slits. After all, this small, self-sufficient community has been in existence for nearly ten years since the nobles set up a heavy check tax. Haven't interacted with the outside world. And these strangers with excellent weapons in front of them not only broke their peaceful lives, but also brought the breath of restlessness and restlessness.

"If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, it would have been impossible to imagine such a decline. What is going on with those stupid nobles of Fahdot?" Looking around the humble houses, Wren whispered to Catori.

"It's not possible to shirk responsibility from those nobles." Cattoli thoughtfully headed for the mountains in the distance.

"Why? What's wrong, Cattoli?" The Paladin looked at each other puzzledly.

"Until the outbreak of the Undead War, the Alliance has been implementing a diplomatic strategy of local war law on this country, let alone the amount of trade, and even the number of people visiting or practicing in Fahdodo has been reduced by more than 50%-this situation I saw it in the General Outline of Operation against Fahdot. At that time, I didn't feel anything, but now I saw it with my own eyes and realized what the data meant. "The girl's eyes dim," National The income is reduced, but they have to bear a lot of military expenses, and it is the people who suffer in the end. "

"Actually ... can this be the case? War is really a kind of irony." Ren was a little embarrassed. "But you don't have to be so discouraged. This situation is not something we can change."

"You're right about this, even Luvis can't do two things, let alone a small human?" Roland, who had been silent since he entered the village, suddenly stepped in at the moment. "Just do what is right now That's fine. "

"Maybe." Cattoli barely smiled.

The next moment, the boy's laughter interrupted the conversation between the three. The girl turned her eyes forward—Frond's mother, holding her son's hand, was walking towards them slowly.

The woman was only in her thirties, but the hard life after her husband lost her white hair to her forehead prematurely-and one of the reasons for this was also an alliance. Catoli thought so. Maybe ... I'm not qualified to accept her thanks.

The run-down two-story hotel — one of the few multi-story structures in Enoch Village — is where Catori and his party stopped tonight. Maybe it used to have an elegant appearance, but after more than ten years of wind and frost, facing the big and shabby face on the street, it is really hard to accept. On the other hand, despite the temptation of Lorendan Continental Gold Coins, the hotel owner who switched to a farmer immediately resumed the old business and promised to mobilize the whole family to provide the best service, but obviously no one would hold this guarantee. Any expectations.

"We're going to stay here all night?" Compared to the expectations of staying indoors at first, the mage who witnessed this scene couldn't help asking questions.

Ren shrugged aside, but remembering the lesson he just had, he didn't have any thoughts to express.

"Yes, it's only one night, so we have to hurry up," Cattoli deliberately ignored Xiu Yin's frustration. "It's still some time before it's dark, and I'm going to the smithy with Kaos ... the former blacksmith Shop there and buy back everything you can use. If you are okay, survey the surroundings. Be vigilant. Accidents are absolutely not allowed at this time. "

"It's not necessary to be so troublesome, I can buy it alone." Roland was a little bit strange with Captain's extra effort.

"I want to learn more, such as dealing with foreigners and buying mountain climbing products. Isn't that bad?" Cattoli pretended to be innocent, "but if that would hinder you, I would still It ’s better not to go ... "

The girl's charming eyes made it difficult to refuse, so the demon hunter nodded: "This ... of course not, this is my honor. If the captain wants to understand, you can just ask."

"So, let's go now!" A sly smile appeared on the girl's face.

Watching the two disappeared on the other side of the square, the Paladin and the advanced mage also started work at the same time. But this village is too small-there are only a few roads, and there are no defensive structures. It can be easily pulled out no matter what direction you go, and you can use the roof to escape if necessary-only half an hour later, for all The full inspection of the details is over.

In Xiuyin's words, "Now you can walk out of the village with your eyes closed without hitting the wall."

"So, what to do next?" After examining the last street, the mage looked at the other person bored.

"Go back to the hotel, and wait for Catoli and Kaos to finish there."

"Go back so early? Staying in that kind of dark and damp house for too long will definitely cause illness." Xiu Yin was a little bit reluctant. "Why not go to the smithy and find them both?"

"I don't think so. It doesn't make much sense to go." Ryan waved his hand and sighed softly.

"You guy, aren't you usually very active? Why is it like this now? Shouldn't it be because of the matter just now?" The mage admitted that the key point of the other party, "Although I can understand you However, based on common sense and experience, if you no longer take the initiative to encounter setbacks, you will never get the girl you want. "

"You don't understand anything at all." The Paladin paused, then shook his head, "This is not a question of frustration at all."

"Of course I know that what you care about is not whether you have read the" Basics of Operation against Fahdot ", but Kaos. That demon hunter ... what do you say, it feels like a so-called genius Right? His experience is probably more than Josephine ... not to mention in swordplay. I personally think that meeting such a genius can be regarded as the care of Lucis. "

Then, Xiu Yin slowly analyzed: "This time the task seemed extremely difficult from the beginning: Lou Weisi's prediction was too eager, as if he was afraid of something; before leaving the alliance, we encountered the death of the old opponent. The Cavaliers were also posed by that guy; the Fahdods were very well informed, and the team encountered stalks and volleys as soon as they entered the country ... To be honest, we wouldn't have come this far without his help. "

"Thank you for your wonderful exposition, Xiu Yin. But I really don't have time to listen to these." Ren said swiftly, and then quickened his pace and planned to shake the other side, but before that, the mage pulled him hard.

"Acute guy, you listen to me ~! I mean we should focus on Kaos in missions and battles anyway, I don't mean anything else!"

"Oh, yes ~! Of course I know that very well ~! Do you think I can distinguish between public and private ?!" The Paladin answered angrily.

"But there is another point that you don't know ~! I think you should know about it." Xiu Yin tried to make his eyes look sincere, and his tone gradually shifted towards the direction of a love consultant, "Listen to me, Rennes, I think you and Catoli have hope ~! "

"Hopeful? Ha ~!" The other side's emotions eased, but the tone was still very excited. "This comfort is so boring ~! You know, before the mission started, Catolie and I knew each other quickly. Six years ~! When she was twelve years old, I was exactly fifteen years old. At that time, we were preparing for the chorus of the Temple of Luvis in the choir. In the fourth year we met, we passed the knights of Draenor. The assessment, passed the high-level knight assessment in the fifth year, and passed the paladin assessment this year ... It ’s really incredible to think about it. I actually completed so much training in such a short time, and became a paladin. But, but she still only treats me as a friend who needs to take care of it! Do you think this look is called "Hope"? "

"Six years is not a long time. If you give up now, it can only be said that your perseverance is not enough ~! No one can casually capture the heart of the glory of Elazia." High Master He countered that he had fully entered the role of a love consultant.

"Yes, maybe I should chase her for ten years and see how it turns out, but now you have what you call a" genius "~ what do you think I can do? Learn" Yunyao "in three days, and then Go and teach Katoli hand in hand to redeem the disadvantage? Kaos didn't teach her hand to hand I am thankful ~! "

"The breakthrough of the love offensive cannot be found because of the relationship between the authorities and fans. You can calmly listen to my analysis." Xiu Yin stared at each other's eyes and said, "Just remember carefully and you will find In the past two months, Catolie and Kaos jointly acted. Catolie proposed it—of course, such a good and considerate and handsome man will definitely attract the attention of young girls, even ours. The captain is no exception-but it also illustrates another thing: Kaos is not proactive at all! Do you know what this means? "

"Kaos is more introverted?"

"You stupid ~! I don't think even Luis can help you!" The mage moaned exaggeratedly. "That means the demon hunter intentionally kept a certain distance from her. He set a clear but Boundaries that are not allowed to be perceived by the other party. And before he disarms himself, you can rest assuredly chase Catoly ~! "

"But ... why? Why did he do that?" Rennes was clearly attracted by Xiu Yin's words.

"You can infer for yourself, how could a twenty-year-old young man have richer experience than the famous 'son of the forest'? How could he have the power to confront the Lord of the Abyss? The word genius alone, obviously There is no way to explain this. "Xiu Yin showed a contented smile," Kaos is certainly not young, he just looks younger, he must have experienced things that ordinary people cannot imagine, so he is so outstanding, but unfortunately What's more, those experiences made him unable to accept Catoli ~! "

Ryan calmed down, pondered his head, and after a long while he raised his head.

"In retrospect, it seems to be exactly what you said. And not only that, even to us, his attitude is always doped with something strange." Paladin's tone restored the usual tone, " What kind of experience would it be? "

"Who knows? Maybe a strong curse has frozen the Demon Hunter's appearance at the age of 20, but in fact his soul is about to be devoured ... So Kaos decided to help his mind for the last period of time Girl, but she has to keep her distance ... This is really a cold conclusion ~ It is also possible that the sword slayer killed his lover, the grieving demon hunter vowed to kill the sword slayer and found For those who can inherit 'Yunyao', Kaos finally found Catoli ... but he was still immersed in the love of the dead lover, so he could not accept the mind of the girl ... This is a cold conclusion ~! "

"Enough, Xiuyin, do you usually focus on love tragedies?" Ren couldn't help laughing, and the next moment, the scene that reflected in the eyes of the two interrupted their conversation.

"We're done, let Kaos come to teach the precautions of mountaineering tonight." At the other end of the street, the girl's clear voice came from afar, crisp and sweet.

The breezy naughty breeze, the girl's pure black short hair flew like soft feathers, and the soft light of the sunset outlined her exquisite silhouette. She was like a beauty walking out of the painting, making the surrounding villagers involuntarily Stopping quietly, holding my breath and admiring quietly.

Kaos, as always, walked next to Catoli. In the sun, his long hair was reflecting the light gold light, and set off the demon hunter's unusually delicate features and cold lines.

No matter how you look at it, it's a very suitable pair of lovers. If you exclude Xiu Yin's weird ideas, I don't even have a 1% chance of winning? Ren said fascinatedly looking at the two men who were approaching him, so he said to himself. However, Catoli ... as long as there is still a glimmer of hope, I will work hard, because there is only one wish for me, and that is to make you happy.

Compared with other villages under the Yahwe, the night of Enoch village is obviously different-the never-ending surging sound of the Grandale River always lingers in people's ears. In the silent night sky wading the cold moonlight, the ancient whisper became more ethereal and awesome, but for the people who have lived here for generations, it can be called the most natural sleep song.

But travelers are not accustomed to this voice ... Will Sister Cattoli and her companions lose sleep? Frond couldn't help guessing. After a long day of hard work, the little kid's mother had already entered Mengxiang, and the room next to it was silent. But Flemish was still in a state of excitement-he had already talked to Catoli, and he would be his own guide tomorrow, taking the team across the suspension bridge over the Grandale River and sending them to the Yahweti At the foot of a watershed. The reward for this trip will be a whole three continental gold coins ~!

Can participate in such a major adventure-although it is only the beginning part, but also get a lot of money for it, this is indeed a very great stimulus for Frende, so even after midnight, the little ghost can only Tossing and turning in bed and unable to fall asleep.

The next moment, the creaking sound of the wooden door interrupted Frand's cranky thoughts.

Did the wind blow the door open? But I remember it was locked before turning off the lights ... The little ghost was a little strange, so he stumbled down into the bed and walked into the small and humble living room. There used to be only a table and a wooden cabinet, but now the moonlight that penetrated through the open door cut off the gloomy cheek of a soldier.

A sharp dagger was fired at him before Frond reacted, and passed through the little guy's throat precisely and silently after cutting the air. Frond wanted to yell, but his vocal cords had been torn completely, and he couldn't even make the final wailing. A few seconds later, a burst of blood rushed out of his mouth, and before those harsh reds infiltrated the ground, Fronde's twitching body fell on them.

The cruel attacker slowly walked over, holding the handle of the dagger, turning it without hesitation. The fierce throbbing deformed the child's facial features and distorted his expression, but the scene made him feel quite enjoyable.

Soon, the tortured thin body completely stopped shaking, and Frund's pupils were still staring at the ceiling, his eyes narrowed as if to express endless fear. And Hei Ying sighed with satisfaction: "Death is an art full of charm, and it's worth watching."

To himself, he had pulled out the dagger. A cold bloodline then slid down the edge of the blade, over the gradually stiffened corpse, and eagerly snaked forward to start looking for the next prey.

At the moment, Emoro is standing firmly on the roof of a two-story building-here you can overlook the entire Enoch village, and the conditions of the small square and the street are all clear. He was wrapped in a pure black cloak, and the leather armor inside was the same surface. If it were not for the moonlight, perhaps the thin body would melt into the night.

The cautious assassin once again took out the crystal ball from his arms, and the bright blue light spot still stagnated at the place-the marking point was fifty meters away from the location of Emoro, the second floor of a small hotel-that was the card Tori's party and the rest place tonight.

It seems that they have not noticed, which is a good sign. Amore speculated, calmness and patience revealed in his eyes. He rarely showed such a look, and this cruel warrior was more fond of killing than fighting. No matter whether he was a man, a child or a young man, as long as he stabbed his blade into those weak bodies, the painful moan and distorted expression caused by it Can make Emoro feel extremely excited. But at the same time, the assassin hiding himself in the dark is also very clear, if you want to continue to experience the fun of killing, you must first ensure that you will not be killed.

In order to ensure the success of the operation, Emoral specially selected fifty elite killers of the Shadow Guild. Their strength is above the general knights, plus various assassinations with one-shot kills to deal with the Paladins and wizards. The combination is perfectly fine. However, the demon hunter who used the big sword always made him feel tricky. The opponent even has the power to destroy the sword's fighting spirit. If it is confronted, it will only destroy the whole army. According to the description of Thomas the Necromancer, his acuity is far higher than ordinary people-this will make most of the assassinations invalid.

Only poison can be used to subdue that guy, and he must cooperate with a blindfold that is enough to dissolve his psychological defense ... Emoro put aside his lips, thinking a little unwillingly, which means that he may lose a lot of powerful men. But in the end, the lure of the **** killing made him smile.

It doesn't matter, there is still a lot of oil and water in this battle. The generous remuneration received from the Cavaliers is enough to recruit new subordinates, and it has been enjoyed just now. If you leave like this, it will be too boring.

"Master," a deliberately suppressed voice interrupted his thoughts.

"What's the situation like now?" In fact, Amore had already noticed the actions of the other party.

"Except that hotel, all corners of the village have been cleaned up. My lord, can you officially start?"

"Let's get started." The assassin nodded, and his subordinates, in the same black clothes, backed down the roof in a silent motion, as they did when they came. A few minutes later, a burst of purple smoke rang up in front of the hotel's door.

"Click." The doors at both ends of the corridor on the second floor of the hotel were opened at the same time, and Roland and Xiuyin stepped out quickly, then nodded each other in the darkness.

"The magical tactical trap I set up reflects that there are enemies who are planning to attack us. Maybe those villagers have seen the official Wanted Order of Fahdot. We are too happy ~!" The mage's breathing was much quicker than usual.

"Bad news, the situation is worse than you said ..." Demon Hunter's eyes stared directly at the stairs across the door. After a few seconds, instead of reaching out to hold the sword, he turned on the light, "It seems The other side used poison gas, which is purplish red. It is now spreading downstairs, and it is fast ... "

Xiu's eyes struck the death knight near the death knight, and the sight of the mage's pupils could not help shrinking the pupil's pupils sharply. No wonder I feel dizzy ~! "

"There is a way to solve ..." Roland began to ask questions, interrupted by the groaning chorus of the other party. With the exquisite gesture of the mage, a nearly transparent gray smoke wrapped his whole body.

"This spell can effectively prevent poisonous gas attacks. I will immediately protect the three of you and protect the enchantment. Hurry up, wake up Catoli and Ren." The next moment, the loud knock on the hotel's second floor It rang.

As expected from the assassins, the battle-hardened prey had no intention of coming into contact with poison gas. Ten minutes after the alfalfa was cast, the wooden wall on the second floor of the hotel suddenly bulged, and a few sharp ice blades pierced through it. Then, a huge hole was cut by rotation, and with the help of feather fall, Catoli and his party jumped directly from the second floor to the street.

As soon as the four men landed, the crossbowman, who had been ambushed beforehand, launched an attack, and several yazes cut through the air and pointed directly at Roland's chest. The tips of these feathers are smeared with venom—perhaps, in theory, the poison can be neutralized by the Holy Light—however, the strong toxicity of these liquids to death in seconds can make any prayer To no avail.

The sniper-dead death knight didn't have the slightest panic. Before he touched his body, the bright line exuding death was suddenly cut off by an invisible barrier-Xiu Yin played a role in the physical defense enemies set for each person in advance. ——After a few crisp impacts, all poison arrows fell to the ground.

"It's really good magic, but the wonderful is still behind." Emoro, who was watching everything, smiled.

While the killers still have time to form a surrounding space, the fighters who cooperate with each other quickly expand the formation: the high-level mage is located in the center, and his left and right rears are respectively responsible for Catoli and Ren, while the demon hunter is Standing in front of this small triangle, a little distance apart-Roland will give full play to the strength of the frost, and cut a path for the team to break through.

"Sure enough, these people are the killers of the Shadow Guild ... It seems that the knights of Fahdodo have also fallen, and they will join forces with these inferiors ~!" Looking at the black surrounding the perimeter. Assassins, Xiu Yin sneered and commented.

"No matter what the truth is, don't hurt the villagers." Katoli whispered to her companions. "We just need to break west along the street and forcefully cross the bridge."

"There doesn't seem to be any Knights nearby. It seems that these killers were sent to hold us." Roland's analysis so, the frost with a huge blade pushed the assassins beyond the distance of the confrontation, but the death knight was very clear Sooner or later, they will rush up desperately ... and the cold arrows waiting for the time.

"Does that mean ... the sooner the battle ends, the better it is for us?" Ryan focused his attention on the enemies copied from the back bread.

"Yes, we have to rush out before the Knights arrive, otherwise everything is over."

"For the mage, it is the greatest shame to die at the door of the Star City in this way. We must rush out of the encirclement ~!" Xiu Yin's tone revealed his firm determination.

"That being the case, follow me anyway." The demon hunter posed in an attacking posture, and the flickering sword awns immediately tightened the muscles and nerves of the assassins, but the next moment, a mixed satire The sound let the stern atmosphere relax uncontrollably.

"As a noble Paladin of the Alliance, this kind of endangered style is really amazing." Emoro applauded, walking on the roof on the side of the street, and the significant height difference made him speak with great momentum. Zeng, "But look around, there are nearly a hundred assassins here, and they are all good at the Shadow Guild ~!"

"You can't stop us more than twice," Roland answered coldly.

"Maybe, Mr. Kaos. I have heard of your glorious record from the Cavaliers. My subordinates may not be able to stop you, but ... if used to kill the stupid villagers of Enoch Village, They are more than enough. "

"You guy ~!" Cattoli shouted.

"Isn't it, Miss Catoli, just think about it and understand why the Knights of Fahdodo would let us stop you." The assassin's face looked particularly dark in the moonlight, "After all, They are really embarrassed to take people from their own country as hostages, but the Shadow Guild is completely different, and I don't mind killing everyone here-they are too obtrusive for sacred battles ~! If you are willing to surrender early, this is not the battlefield here, and I have no reason to do anything. What do you think of this proposal? "

Want me to surrender in exchange for the lives of the villagers ~! ? The girl clenched her dagger without a word, her tight lips suddenly lost her blood. what should I do? It is because of my relationship that they will now be in danger ... but, but I cannot give up the task in order to save them. This is the hope of the entire alliance ~! Catoli subconsciously put her left hand on her chest, and the breath of Luvis' blood passed through the chain mail to the girl's palm.

Sorry, Flemish ... But thousands of miles away, there are still countless people waiting for me, I can't die here ... I can't abandon the whole world for my own bias ... Sorry ~!

"Did you think about it? You should know Austin's idea. I was actually hired by him and I didn't intend to hurt you. It is best to settle peacefully." Emolo's persuasion was very pleasant.

"I ... reject ..." The girl answered with a trembling voice, but her voice was very soft, as if she was afraid of being heard by the other party.

This is the right and helpless choice. Listening to the words mixed with hesitation, compromise, pain, and ruthlessness, the soul lurking deep in the death knight's body could not help producing a familiar throbbing. Many times, people ca n’t choose their own destiny, even if fighting with faith as a sword, they will be stained with a strong **** taste ... Katori, do you feel the pain now?

"We reject your so-called proposal ~!" Xiu Yin's angry voice suddenly sounded and lit the stagnant air. "Katori, don't be fooled by him ~! Those villagers ... they are all dead ~!"

"What ~!" The girl covered her mouth, and Ren and Roland couldn't hide their blank expressions either.

"I used advanced detection twice, and the results were the same. In those houses ... no one was alive, all died, and they killed all the people in the village ~!"

"Really, why should the mage of the Alliance learn such a boring spell?" Emoro sighed, showing a rather regretful expression. "You could not have suffered so much."

"Shut up, you bloodthirsty demon ~! A scum like you, how can you be qualified to comment on the Lucifer Alliance Magic Guild ~! Use your blood to accept sanctions ~!" The senior mage clenched his teeth and said, Before falling, a dazzling cyan lightning burst from his fingertips towards the assassins on the roof, and at the same time, Frost's eyes spread a large dazzling sword in front of many enemies.

The battle has begun.
