Dick lost sleep. This is the first time he lost sleep. He dreamed of more than a dozen Elven soldiers who were killed for them. He dreamed that they were standing beside him with blood all over their body. Behind them was the blood red flame full of the sky. It was the fire of the dead, which was his most annoying color. Those soldiers did not say a word, just looked at him, pale eyes, broken armor, body is full of terrible scars.
"I'm sorry... I shouldn't have left you there..."
“…”
"Sorry, I..."
The dream suddenly changed. Dick stood in the dense forest fighting with Marduk in black again. Like a spectator, he watched the six paladins being knocked down by the surging undead. They struggled desperately, but there were too many enemies. Their palms and ankles were crushed, and their throats were torn open by the ghouls' dark claws.
Dick wants to help, but his body is empty. He has no strength at all. The fire of justice disappears. He only has a pair of fists left. He rushes on with a roar, but the next moment, his damned dream changes again.
The dark forest, the black snake for food, the dying soldier, he saw that he was struggling to crawl forward with his left hand, he saw that the snake's kiss fell on his body, he saw himself, that survival, that difficult survival of himself, in the silence, with his teeth, hard to bite the snake clean.
"Bang!"
The darkness is broken, just like broken glass. The light like ink and darkness devours all the pictures, leaving Dick alone standing in the boundless darkness. The darkness is surging, trying to wrap his body.
"Enough! That's enough
Dick ran desperately forward, but there was no light, no way forward, only darkness.
"You shameless thief! You stole everything from me, you stole my life! Give it back, give it back
Dick's neck was strangled, his body was thrown on the ground, he looked at the other one in horror, staring at his blood red eyes, fiercely pinching his neck, trying to strangle him.
"No, I didn't! You... You're dead! "
"Thief! The thief
"I didn't!"
"Dick... Mr. dick! Knight Dick, what's the matter with you? "
Lyadeline's voice came into Dick's ear. She tried to reach out to wake him up with sweat. But the paladin who was awakened from the nightmare was like a wild animal. He grabbed lyadeline's arm and pressed the high priest under him. He held the fire of justice in his other hand, with a heavy blue crystal hammer face, It's going to hit the panicked elf in the head.
"No!"
Lyadeline screams in fear, which finally wakes up the paladin dominated by nightmare. Dick shakes his head and looks at lyadeline who is choked by himself and the hammer on his left hand. The dream wakes up. He quickly lets go of the ELF's body and sits on the ground.
His back was wet... That dream, that dream was weird.
"Yes, I'm sorry!"
Dick sat on the ground and apologized to lyadeline dejectedly. The latter was paralyzed by the fear of death just now. She looked at the panting Dick and softened her eyes.
Lyadeline is a veteran who has experienced the troll war and the second Orc war. She can't be more familiar with Dick's situation. Veterans who have retired from the battlefield generally have this kind of situation of falling into nightmares. If it's serious, it's also possible to kill their families.
Dick, this is a very restrained person. Looking at the cold sweat on Dick's face, lyadeline moved her body and gently put Dick's head on her leg. Like a child, she touched his hair and comforted him.
"Don't worry, Knight Dick. We'll all go back safely. Have a good rest for 20 minutes. I'll wake you up later."
This intimate action makes dick want to escape, but the physical and mental fatigue makes him want to stay in this warm embrace, he took a deep breath.
This time... This time
Dick told himself so, and then lay safely in lyadeline's arms, maybe the holy light energy of the priest made him very close, in short, he soon fell asleep.
Lyadeline looks at Dick in her arms. She wipes Dick's face with her handkerchief and cleans the blood on his face. Then she finds that the human knight who suddenly appears in her life is younger than she imagined.
It's like a child.
But he is already a warrior of the holy light. The human world is so wonderful. When lyadeline was as old as Dick, she still followed her parents to learn the spirit culture. After her parents died, she was really mature.
What about the child?
What makes him so mature?
In a trance, lyadeline became more and more interested in Dick's past.
When a woman is interested in a man, it's not far from her entering the man's life.
Twenty minutes later, Dick opens his eyes. Lyadeline is kneeling beside him, wiping the fire of justice for him.
Since entering Quel'Thalas, this holy hammer has almost been in the middle of the battle. Even the crystal stone on its surface has been stained with blood. However, under the wiping of lyadeline, this sky blue crystal holy hammer has also regained the light that an artifact should have.
"Thank you, Ms. lyadeline."
Dick took the water from his backpack and poured it on his face, which made his sleepy look a little clearer. He reached out to take the hammer from the vicar's hand and carried it behind him.
"It's a good weapon. Even in Quel'Thalas, I've never seen such a high affinity crystal. Did your Uther Knight give it to you?"
Lyadeline asked curiously, and Dick shrugged,
"That's a secret! Ms. lyadeline, come with me. It's time for us to go! "
Dick smiles at lyadeline, who turns her eyes and chuckles,
"Just call me lyadeline."
"Well, come with me, lyadeline, and I'll take you home!"
When Dick took lyadeline to the forest, Myra and others had been packing for the last time. The last holy water was distributed to everyone. Dick didn't say much. He looked into everyone's eyes and raised his left hand.
"Brothers, we have come to this stage. What can stop us from moving forward? With our own actions, we have proved that Alsace and his evil army are not invincible, they will also lose, so we will win! Go ahead! Crush all evil
Everyone cheered three times. Even Sylvanas, who had always been indifferent, raised his bow. This day and night's escape made nearly 50 people become a rope. This is the power of sharing weal and woe.
As soon as the Knights rode, they urged the horses to gallop towards the direction of Jinwu village. Sylvanas rode alone in the front, with four bundles of long arrows hanging on both sides of the horses. The bow in his hand did not stop humming, multiple arrows, aiming shooting, explosive shooting. Any undead who would block this team would be mercilessly shot in the head.
The exquisite archery inherited by the Windrunner family is incisively and vividly displayed at this moment.
"She's like a moving Fort!"
Dick exclaimed. When lyadeline saw her friend who had regained her fighting spirit, she was also smiling. Dick threw up his whip, and the rest of the horse was faster. In the dim light of the ghost land, Jinwu village was far away.
Sylvanas is right. There is a sunken terrain. Jinwu village is located in the middle of the sunken terrain. As the buildings of Jinwu village are still there, when they reach the edge of the sunken terrain, all the Knights stop their horses. If you rush down like this, you may hurt the horses, especially when the situation is not clear.
"Myra, protect the priests. The others will follow me first!"
Dick urged the reins, let the horses along the direction of the depression, slowly forward, in front of him, Jinwu village has become a burned ruins, but from the shape of the ruins, we can still see how beautiful the village is when it is intact.
Sylvanas walked side by side with him. She held the bow in her hand warily. A specially treated arrow was shot into the sky by her. When it fell, the fire on the arrow lit up, and the orange light passed through the air, illuminating the dark ruins.
Dick doesn't even use his eyes. He feels the surge of holy light in his body. This is when he is close to the energy of death. As a stress reaction of mutual restraint energy, there must be ambush in front of him!
He took a deep breath and raised his left hand high,
"Follow me
The sky blue fire of justice, infused with holy energy, becomes a dazzling pearl. Dick urges his horses to rush into the ruins first. Two dedication spells are thrown to both sides by him. At the moment of landing, the blazing light rising from the ground forces the spirits hiding in the ruins out.
There are all kinds of ghouls and skeleton warriors, and the lowest level of walking corpses don't show up at all. It seems that this is definitely a trap laid by Alsace for Dick and others. Just when Dick leads the team to rush into the last side of Jinwu village, the stone ghosts who dive down from the dark sky also start their unique attack.
These monsters, after accumulating kinetic energy in mid air, began their natural magic petrification, turning their bodies into fine carved stones, whistling in the air and smashing down at the rushing crowd.
When Sylvanas saw this scene, she flipped lightly from the galloping horse to the ground. Three thick black arrows were put on the bow by her and aimed at the stones falling from the sky. Three long arrows roared into the sky.
Multiple arrows!
Sylvanas's body is still seriously injured, but it's not difficult for her to shoot multiple arrows. The thick long arrow splits rapidly in the air, and soon becomes a dense black light head-on. When it collides with the stone ghost falling from the sky, the sky seems to have a multi-dimensional flash.
That's the spark of collision. Just three arrows cleared almost a quarter of the sky.
Looking at the stone ghost falling from the sky, the Ranger general drew out three arrows again. Her pretty face was full of killing.
"This is the sky dominated by Windrunner. Who allows you to open your wings?"
After three times of shooting, the whole sky was cleared, and there were no stone ghosts on the ground. Even if the construction demons were destroyed, they would die and collapse, and their broken bodies became the best obstacle to the progress of the dead.
Dick and the Knights have built a simple defense line. After clearing the sky, Sylvanas turns and runs towards the riverbank of Jinwu village. She is as light as a running antelope. But just as she runs three steps away, a long sword with black energy light, like a ghost claw, pierces the noise of the battlefield, Straight at Sylvanas.
On the other side of the battlefield, a tall shadow stood up from the ruins, with a black rose decoration in his hand and a long bow. At the moment when he appeared, all the dead began to roar together, as if to welcome the arrival of the general.
When she saw this figure, she was struck by lightning. She looked at the tall and familiar figure, and her hands had been pinched together.
"Lothema... My God, how could that be!"
