Azeroth Trail of Light

Chapter 274 22. The Power of Resentment

The undead Scourge's counterattack was very fierce. With the support of the frost dragon released by the floating fortress Naxxramas floating in the sky, the undead troops on the ground once pushed the battle line to the intersection of Kaolin and Blackwood Lake. Half of the country in the Darrowmere region is about to fall, and the generation of Maris Farm has been turned upside down.

However, thanks to the desperate battle between the ascetic monks of the Holy Light's Hope Chapel and the soldiers in the New Avalon region, the undead's furious advance finally stopped, and the new front was fixed. The undead legion from Fakai attacked the defense of Blackwood Lake almost non-stop, and the Scarlet Crusade recruits transferred from Tyr's Hand were even thrown into the battlefield like a meat grinder.

This time the undead Scourge's attack can be described as an elite attack. The death knights who are usually used as low-level commanders are even used as cannon fodder. I can only bite the bullet and start a confrontation with them.

Ordinary soldiers are no match for these guys wielding rune weapons, especially when high-level death knights like Kurtaz appear on the battlefield, it is simply a massacre, but the new "reinforcements" from Stratholme "After joining the battlefield, the situation eased somewhat.

But the arrival of these new reinforcements triggered a huge wave of "riots" among the paladins and ordinary soldiers.

On the bank of Blackwood Lake, a short and tragic encounter has just ended. More than 20 death knights and a large group of ghouls tried to cross Blackwood Lake, but they were discovered by the guarding sentries, so the battle began. Just as it was about to collapse, another death knight descended from the sky, terribly freezing his opponent, who was also a servant of death, in the icy cold wind.

The surface of the ebony-colored armor, which was still stained with pieces of flesh and blood, was covered with a layer of frost. Although various patterns were carved by skilled craftsmen, it still couldn't conceal the strong smell of rust on the armor, and the wind-blown Gray hair, and indifferent blue eyes, looked at everything, as if looking at frozen death.

Fighting Only when fighting, the already cold heart can still feel a little warmth, although it may be an illusion.

"boom"

A rotten apple hit Thassarian's back. The sour smell made the death knight's departure pause for a while, but he continued to move forward the next moment. He didn't even look back at who threw it. rotten apples.

Wherever the Death Knight went, all the soldiers, even the wounded who had just been rescued by him on the battlefield, walked around him with a sullen expression on their faces. People are willing to approach him, and this kind of behavior of throwing rotten apples is already very restrained. Thassarian was surrounded by angry soldiers more than once, trying to "chat" with him with weapons.

After becoming a necromancer, Thassarian knew that he would be rejected by living creatures. In fact, if he and his brothers could not rescue Lord Uther alone, Thassarian would not have appeared in the world at all. here.

After death, nothing means anything, whether it's glory, or decency, or anything else, it means nothing.

Ordinary soldiers would only use this method to vent their hatred for the undead. Although they wished to kill all the undead, at least the Ebon Knights like Thassarian were still fighting side by side with their own side, and when they encountered When the death knights of the natural disaster are mobilized, Thassarian and his brothers have to rely on Thassarian and his brothers to turn the tide. When life and disgust are put together, people with a normal mind know how to choose.

But there are always some guys who put hatred above their lives, such as the four people currently blocking Thassarian's path. They wore blood-red armor, held enchanted weapons in one hand, and carried the heads of several undead in the other hand. On their chests, a bright red emblem of Lordaeron seemed to be dripping blood.

Their expressions are serious and serious, as if they are dealing with real enemies, but they are only in their twenties, and the youngest one is even in their teens. In peacetime, children at this age should still be studying or entering the workforce. But now, from their sword-holding postures and the scars on their bodies, it can be seen that they are already qualified fighters.

But the light that bloomed in those eyes was belief, but it was a distorted belief. It was so fanatical that it might burn everything in the next moment, even including themselves.

The Scarlet Crusade, to be precise, is the Scarlet Crusade of the Hand of Tyr. The Crusaders of the Scarlet Monastery have long been driven back to their hometown by the undead. I don’t know how Raynor deceived them. Anyway, those guys believe that it was the Silver Hand. After the death of the great knight Mograine, he even sealed off the Scarlet Monastery, apparently planning to recuperate.

The Scarlet Crusade at Colin Crossing now belongs to the commander of General Abedis. Of course, this Abedis is not the old general who died in Andorhal, but Bridget Abedis. , the daughter of the old general, once the supreme commander of Stratholme.

After Dalyan was pressured by the front line and had to seek help from the death knights like Thassarian, Bridget and Dalyan, the comrades-in-arms who had a little love, officially parted ways. Bridget withdrew from the Silver Dawn and formally led him The Scarlet Crusade left by his father.

This is a pity, but at this moment of life and death, neither Dalyan nor Bridget has much thought about the relationship between their children.

"Disgusting undead! Why don't you go where you should go!"

The scarlet knight blocking the way threw the head of the undead in his hand at Thassarian's feet. He was also a participant in the encounter just now, but at this moment his tired eyes flashed with anger, and the long sword in his hand also waving frantically,

"Come on! Kill me like you scum did before!"

"Incurably mad!"

Thassarian glanced at the four scarlet knights who had been dominated by his own madness, shook his head, turned and walked in another direction, he did not intend to conflict with these scarlet crusaders here, even though he used one hand to These idiots can be crushed to death.

When the throne of the Lich King was broken two years ago and Arthas put on the Helm of Dominion, due to Frostmourne, they entered a long period of dormancy and fusion, and the Scourge of the Undead had a brief period of chaos. During that period of time, Thassarian found a lot of powerful undead who relied on his own will and got rid of the control of the Lich King. In the name of Uther, he formed the Knights of the Ebon Blade. The powerful kind of undead.

But unfortunately, this chaotic period soon ended. When the Lich King's will reappeared in the undead Scourge, the Ebon Blade Knights, who had been wreaking havoc in Northrend, had to shift their positions.

Thassarian has followed Uther for a long time, and after being transformed by the death energy of Apocalypse, the strength of this death knight who was loyal to Lordaeron has grown rapidly. He is already a half-hero, but for the servant of death For them, it is too difficult to become a hero, but this is the case. This death knight who was blocked was also one of the strongest on the battlefield at Colin Crossing.

Thassarian was unwilling to have a conflict, but the Scarlet Knight was unwilling to let him go, and they blocked Thassarian in another direction. These four guys surrounded Thassarian, sharp weapons Hold it tightly in your hand, and you will pounce on it in the next moment.

"Undead! Evil! Don't even think about leaving!"

The guy in the lead moved his hands and showed a cruel smile. He is not stupid. In fact, he is also very aware of the gap between himself and Thassarian, but as long as this death knight dares to fight back, he is here to watch all this All the soldiers will be his helpers!

"This is where justice resides, there is no room for evil! Go to hell!"

The Scarlet Knight proudly chopped the battle ax in his hand at the Death Knight who was also holding the long sword at his waist. These evil undead are simply unbelievable! The idiots of the Argent Dawn were deceived by them. Now, the Scarlet Crusade will thoroughly carry out the name of justice!

However, at the moment when the heavy ax fell, a thick figure rushed into the battle line. With angry roars, the four attacking Scarlet Crusaders were quickly kicked out, and the Scarlet Knight at the head was even more so. He was directly pressed to the ground, and his heavy ax was smashed next to his head by that figure, and the sharp breath that brushed his temples made this guy's hair stand on end.

"You mad dogs! Stay away from him!"

Herold was still dressed in the same wild way, with his upper body bare, his chest covered with staggered scars, metal shoulder pads on his left and right sides, a pair of chain armor leggings on his lower body, and a bright red cloak behind him. All shaved, with a smooth big head, and that fierce face, this guy doesn't look like a paladin at all, but like a bully bullying the city.

But the golden light wrapped around Herod's arms with the red dragon tattoo proved his identity, the warrior of the Argent Dawn, and the commander of the Blackwood Lake front.

Herold stood up, kicked this despicable man on the waist, and kicked him far away, but he was still not satisfied. His fierce eyes swept across the surrounding soldiers. Some soldiers couldn't help but take a step back.

"You are also a bunch of bastards! Pat yourself on the chest, think about who saved you from the battlefield, some people have been saved by him more than once! Is this how you treat your savior? You deserve to die On the war zone!"

"Snapped"

The cold left hand rested on the excited Herold's shoulder, the rough knight turned his head, and the death knight exuding a cold aura shook his head at him,

"It's not necessary, it's just a transaction."

After finishing speaking, Thassarian was about to turn around and leave, but was stopped by Herold. The heroic knights actually didn't like Thassarian and his group very much, but Dick's subtle influence over the past few years still had an effect At least he doesn't hate these "reformed" undead as much as those soldiers.

Especially when the two sides are in the same camp.

"Hey, Captain, someone wants to see you! Come with me."

Thassarian was stunned for a moment, but followed Herold obediently and left. That was the way he went. Everyone silently made way for him. The death knight didn't need to look back to know who was behind him. The eyes of those he saved.

It's resentment, it has nothing to do with justice, it has nothing to do with evil, it's the boundary between life and death, nothing more.
