Death Knight

Roland looked at Zephylis and stared intently at her eyes, feeling as if he had been completely covered by the haze in those eyes, and even the fighting instinct that drove his body was frozen. But even so, he still put on a stabbing posture-because there were people to protect behind him, as a soldier himself, at this time, he must not show the slightest timidity.

Frost's sword edge slightly, the sword holder shot out like an arrow off the string. Roland broke the gradual tilting of the psychological balance between the four, and took the lead in launching attacks on the powerful enemy. Immediately afterwards, several half-moon-shaped wind blades blasted out from the wizard's long sword, blocking all the dodge routes of the opponent.

If both sides are head-on, perhaps Roland still has a chance to win, Alberta speculates. However, in the next moment, the light from Jing Wang Jian Chenxi immediately tore all the fantasy of the magic swordsman into pieces-the invisible but sharp wind blade dissociated into a breeze when it contacted the girl's blade, Oroha's Riya was shot away casually. Not only that, she even caught the great sword that Roland cut down with all his strength ~!

"What ~ !?" The young man couldn't help shouting, the thin and soft sword actually resolved his storm like a storm.

If it goes on like this, it will all be destroyed ... Roland will die ~! The magical pupil in the elf contracted instantly, and a determined expression suddenly appeared on her face.

"Hurry up and help Roland. No matter what happens, you must entangle your opponent," the girl lowered her voice, "please."

In an encounter in an unfamiliar environment, it is extremely dangerous to let Oluha, who is only good at archery, defend alone, but Alberta can't refute it, because the opponent's tone is like a rock. The magic swordman nodded, then quickly moved to the side support.

Time must be gained before prayer can be used. Oluha finally glanced at the three figures dancing in the sword light sword shadow, and then began to immerse the consciousness in the vast and quiet sea of ​​thought.

The combination of a two-handed sword and a one-handed sword, a combination of metal and magic-driven attacks, and Roland and Alberta's continuous attack, regardless of their body, forced the nightingale to take several steps back, but the corner of Zephylis' eyes When the elf stood in the distance, her eyes suddenly gave out a chilling chill.

Prayer ~! ? The other party turned out to be ... definitely not let that be done ~!

The nightingale clenched his lips subconsciously, then quickly bypassed the sword wind coming towards him and cut into the distance of the confrontation-this was the dead corner of the two-handed sword. Although the flexible swordsman was planning to fight back instead of Roland, Zephyris didn't care.

With a flash of her left hand, the dart was thrown out at almost zero distance, smashing Alberta's entire right shoulder. As the blood flew around, the right hand of the elf holding the sword drew down softly, and his face was pale. The attacking hunter didn't even have to take a look again, and focused all his attention on the last obstacle.

Roland's great sword cut a semicircle in the **** air, but the deadly trajectory in the nightingale's eyes was as flawless as slow motion. She jumped up into the frost, one size larger than the two-handed sword. The morning light in her hand followed the throat of the opponent. This is the nightingale's favorite method for dealing with long-armed enemies. Later, the opponent can be used as a springboard to create conditions for the next round of breakthrough.

This time, however, Jing Jingjian only cut off a strand of hair from his prey—Roland decisively abandoned his weapon at the last moment, and then flew up and kicked him.

Sure enough it was tricky ... The nightingale pouted his lips between the gaps. Instead of avoiding the side kick of the young blonde, she suddenly turned her body when she was hit, and converted the received kinetic energy into a counter kick to counter the opponent with the unimaginable lightness. Roland tried to resist with his arm, but the collision that contained double power still made him fly out.

Then, the slender but deadly figure twitched along the frost and jumped up into the sky, chopping down on the standing prayer with an unstoppable force.

The collapse of the defense, the failure of the counterattack, and the long sword that was slashed in the head, all happened only between the electric light fire, but for those who were in it, that moment seemed extremely long. In the frozen silence, only a crisp metal impact shook people's eardrums.

Oluha, who had her eyes closed tightly, slammed out of meditation. As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Roland lying sideways, her counterpart's body was full of dazzling blood. Then, the enemies' bright long swords and the impenetrable eyes came into view.

At the last moment, the blond young man blocked the nightingale's attack with a dagger. Although the blade of the magical power had not been broken immediately, but thanks to the buffer of the weapon, the sharp King sword only broke into Roland's shoulder and stopped. But even so, the severe pain still made him almost unconscious.

"Roland ~!" The elf girl screamed at the other's name hoarsely, her vision blurred gradually.

Can it only reach this level? Roland gritted his teeth. The pain covered the whole body like the tide, and the limbs had already lost consciousness. The only thing I could do was to do my best to keep awake consciousness ... until the end.

"Did you say that already?" Zephylis' voice was flat and indifferent. "It will only bring pain."

The blade with the bright red liquid was pulled out, then slowly pointed at the eyebrow of the prey. But then, a silver line descending from the sky interrupted the enemy's movement, forcing the nightingale to jump back sharply. The attack didn't stop there, one by one, Li Ya continued to fall like a torrent of rain, biting the opponent's dodge course.

The next moment, when the arrow rain stopped, the raptor spreading his wings flew across the ground, a shadow jumped from above, and the purple-gold snake holding in his hand cut through the air, throwing the bright color and cutting it towards Zefi Leith. The tip of the Jingwang sword bauhinia hit the body of Chenxi's sword, making the soft sword completely bowed, and the cold expression of the nightingale flickered in the sparks.

Falochide turned to her side and looked at Roland, who was almost in a coma. Then her eyes merged with the sight of the elf girl.

"Can prayer be used for healing? Please take care of him." Faloxidai said briefly, Oluhammer nodded silently.

The blonde female swordsman had injured Alberta, raised her sword and confronted the girl in white: "Your opponent is me."

"Which one is Jingjing sword 'Bauhinia'? Catori Orland's sabre." Zephylis's tone was curious and questioning. "Where has your black hair gone? And green eye……"

"You know a lot." Faloxidai's eyes were faint ripples, but she still watched the other side vigilantly without letting go of every move.

"Because Fabero's report puts special emphasis on it, we will investigate it specifically." The Nightingale ran away the blood from the sword. "It was obviously a victim of the goddess conspiracy, but why should we help the death knight? What happened at the dawn of Ishtoli? You made a deal with the new goddess, right? "

"I didn't answer your obligation." The Gryphon Knight replied coldly.

"Fapello is pitiful, because he died before he saw anything. Although he didn't talk to the Black Knight, he is still my companion. Now it just happens to be a chance ... may as well use your blood. A sacrifice, presumably the teacher will be very pleased. "

The words did not fall, Zephylis' hands suddenly raised, and the darts shot sharply at the opponent in the air. Falochidi easily blocked the blow, but the next moment, the nightingale's sword was close at hand, almost touching the girl's eyelashes.

So fast ~!

Before Falochide had time to feel surprised and Zhang Huang, her body had begun to evade. Chen Xi's sharp edge rubbed the corner of her eyebrow and pierced into the flying blond hair, and her silky long hair was suddenly severed. The moment the two passed by, the Nightingale suddenly shook their wrists and slashed the soft sword backwards. This blow was blocked by the bauhinia, which protected the master like a snake, but the tip of the sword still dragged Faloxidai. She had a bleeding wound on her left arm.

The Gryphon Knight did not immediately feel the pain. The girl continued the dodge just now, rolling out dozens of steps on the side of the fallen leaves, and then suddenly found that she knew Yunyao was defeated on the first sword.

Intentionally let the dart fly at a low speed, while giving the opponent an illusion of contrast, and then lethal attacks. Nightingale's swordsmanship doesn't just rely on speed to win, it is even more terrifying that it can create opportunities to give full play to speed and never fail.

I'm afraid it will be an extremely difficult battle ... Falochide clenched the handle of the sword, stood up carefully, and let the bauhinia contract again into a sword-the opponent's movement was too rapid, and it could not be captured by the strength of the weapon alone. Instead, the unfolded sword body becomes a burden.

A sharp vector suddenly shot from the forest, and then another. At night, the nightingale used a sword to block, but there were more and more arrows, accompanied by several fireballs that tracked the target. At last, when the drum-like horseshoe sound came to her ears, she knew that there would be no further drag. significance.

The death knights arrived.

"It's annoying." Zephylis frowned, then took a gem from his belt and threw it into the air. The finely cut gemstone traverses an arc in the air, while rotating with a variety of dazzling colors, it suddenly bursts into a strong light at the moment when it reaches the highest point, and illuminates the dark forest at night like daylight.

And when the light faded, the nightingale had long since disappeared.

"Have you left?" The loser muttered to himself, breathing subconsciously.

"Lose it?" Arthas jumped down from a high branch, and looked at the girl with messy hair and broken armor, with interest.

"Lose." Faloxidai did not conceal, and then ran to the camp of the adventurers without looking back.

"How is he?" Falochida asked, but it wasn't Oluha who answered her.

"It doesn't matter." Roland's tone was self-deprecating, and the young man struggled to try to get up from the ground. The elf girl quickly stopped him.

"No, the wound will crack again! The magic effect is not as strong as Holy Light, don't mess around." Oluha complained, and then he supported him to stand up thoughtfully.

"Thank you, it feels better now." Roland said to the elf first, then turned to the Gryphon knight. "Thank you for saving us. But ... sorry, can you stay with me for a while?" Roland deliberately avoided. The eyes of the two men gently and resolutely pushed away the girl beside them, and then slowly walked towards the dark forest. The helplessness that flashed in those aquamarine pupils made the praying man's heart tighten, the elf looked at the female swordsman aside for help, but the other person just shook his head slightly.

"It's really worrying." Faloxidil looked intently at the distant back, with deep concern in his eyes. "But this is his destiny, so the choice can only be made by him. No one else can help. "

"Can't help ..." Oluha repeated his words, lowering her head and not speaking.

Roland ignored the curious glances from the Lich and the Death Knights, avoided the light of the campfire, and walked into the dark forest. Covered by towering tree branches and leaves, the moonlight was cut into shards, and the interweaving light and shadow formed a strange picture. The young man thought he was alone here, but then, the voice from behind him surprised him.

"If Roland Streef had expected himself to look like this, maybe he wouldn't make this escape choice. Right, Richard?" The tall, red-eyed, tall man The Death Knight asked casually, not minding the subject in question right in front of him.

"In reality, if there is no word, I can't make a decision for Roland." The Lich shrugged, and then approached the confused young man. "I'm Richard Bares, commander of the Undead Army. Beside is Alsace, head of the Ice Crown Knights. "

"I'm Roland Streve." Although he knew his name, Roland insisted on reporting it, and then he looked at the two undetermined with some uncertainty. "You ... once fought with 'I' Have you ever? "

"Yes." Richard nodded and continued to observe humans up close.

"The Dark Eagle is very powerful. He has mastered a high level of Yun Yao, and ..." said the young man, stroking Frost's subconsciously. "Do you really know how to use this weapon? Is this true?"

"Yes." Richard nodded again.

"But I have no goal after losing my memory," Roland stared at the burning eyes of the undead, as if captivated by the moving flames. "What are the necessary conditions to become a true soldier?"

"Don't ask such a stupid question ~!" Alsace's eyes suddenly burst into a strong flame, and his tone became extremely cold for a moment. "Your fate can only be grasped by yourself and you want to imitate others It ’s just a waste of thought ~! If you want to imitate the past self, then you might as well just forget it ~! "

This sentence made Roland's aquatic pupils dilate in an instant, and the whole person was fixed in place like a stone statue without moving.

"Hmm ~! I was expecting a bit, forget it ..." The Death Knight chief waved his hand, turned his head and left.

"Let's talk about specific matters on the road. In short, you should also come to the Knights' station as soon as possible, this place should not stay long." Richard patted each other's shoulders, and then caught up with his colleagues.

"What on earth is Ishtoli thinking?" Arthas stared at the Lich with his red eyes, and seemed to pull something out of the other's eyes. "Erase Roland's past, and find another time when the army is in trouble." Throw him out, is this the so-called 'happiness'? "

"Happiness always has to be fought with your own hands," Richard replied lightly. "Ishtoli only gave Roland a chance to choose again. As to whether he can grasp the things that he did not grasp, it depends. He himself. "

Encampment is a fairly rare act for tireless undead. In this hostile land, even a well-equipped fortress is not safe to march overnight. Unless necessary, the pace of nightmares will never stop. But now, that's obviously the time.

A thousand death knights set up semi-permanent positions in the valley of the dark forest. The stone blockhouses appeared against the green background. The cold breath of the undead turned the entire land into the northern icefield, but it was the most striking. It is also the huge gate erected in the center of the position and the seven pentagram arrays centered on it.

It looks a lot like the Dark Magic, the highest magic technology of the Liches. They used this technology to send hundreds of thousands of troops from the northern continent to Elazia overnight, but in fact, the building in front of them It is not based on the magic of this world, and its function is completely different from that of the Dark Portal.

This is a gate that connects the capital of this world with the moon, and all its power comes from Karina Ruby. The death knights will use the resonance from the gemstones to open a passage to the realm and spiritual realm overlap, and rush there to find the last son of the star, Ishtoli's "end."

But before the door could open in the future, the enemies that followed were lurking in the depths of the gloomy forest and staring at everything.

"You know the high-level Yunyao just by scouting, and using the same soft sword as this one ... what will her master be?" Arthas hardly put a serious note at the military meeting. The expression, "I'm afraid it's more trouble than we expected."

"Obviously, the enemies have also gathered nearby, but their number should not be large, otherwise they would not be able to carry out the raid." Richard said a mantra, and the magic sand table on the table lit up instantly, "Alsace What would it do if it were you? "

"It will definitely be carried out when the Lich maintains the French formation and the troops are about to enter the passage. That is the weakest link."

"Yes. If we are in a hurry to enter the capital of the moon, we will be wiped out here. So the primary goal of this battle is to wipe out the enemies that follow, so that not only can we enter the capital of the moon without interference, Future tasks will be much easier. "The Lich nodded, his eyes glanced over the standing death knight captains," The ceremony to open the passage will be performed tomorrow, but you do not have to go in, sharpen Your weapons. "

The pupils of the deceased ignited an excited flame in an instant.

At the same time, at a bird's eye view not far from the position of the undead, another caster who also had a longevity made the same suggestion.

"Do you attack when the opponent opens the gate of the moon?" The Sunwalker watched the sunset gradually, and asked the wizard wizard beside him, "Although it is a correct tactic, the opponent will also expect this."

"It's different to be able to predict and to make up," Motidal replied. "It's impossible to skip this circle to enter the capital of the moon, we just have to wait quietly."

"How many death knights are stationed here?" The blood clan asked again, this time with a clear and pleasant sound.

"A thousand or so, fifty Lich, and ... Griffin Knights and three adventurers who encountered yesterday were also inside." The Nightingale answered seriously.

"So there are another thousand death knights lurking out of our sight." The black-haired vampire turned to the last person beside him, "Jack, what's happening to our restless ally?"

"Watt now only appears in Freeport. Although the" monopoly game "did make a lot of money, but he splurged faster ..." The former leader of the Thieves' Union dejected. "If this continues, it may take half a year. No, the Barmartin Thieves' Union will be completely disintegrated. "

"I see." The blood race stopped asking questions, but fell into contemplation. At that moment, those jewel-like eyes looked far into the distance. The sunset had been half covered by the black forest. The stone knights of the death knights became a huge shadow in this dim light, occupying almost all the sight of the observer.

After a while, the leader finally made a decision: "Retreat immediately."

"Retreat?" Even though the decision came from a leader he absolutely trusted, Motidal and Jack Weir couldn't hide their surprise. Even Zephylis crooked her head slightly, seemingly asking "why."

"Our current tactical goal is to prevent the undead from entering the capital of the moon, so they deliberately revealed this weak link, but I am afraid that another thousand death knights hidden behind will attack from the same time as we launch the attack. Why don't they gather Have all the strength to find and protect the "end"? The answer is that they don't plan to find it at all now, what the prey wants to do is to kill the trailing hunter. "The blood tribe elaborated his speculation carefully." In addition, Walter Hua I also care about special trends. "

"How much should you know about him?" When speaking of the red-haired man, the tone of the Sunwalker suddenly became very dignified. "The only thing that Walter really fears is prayer. So the only thing he really wants to destroy is also Only prayer. Now that he has allies, he has no interest in entering the capital of the moon ... I'm afraid ... "

"I'm afraid something has happened in the capital of the moon that we haven't known yet, is that so, teacher?" Zephylis took the conversation.

"That's right, so our stage goals must also be changed. When the situation is unknown, we should not rush into an attack."

"So what now?" The wizard asked.

"It's not good not to see it with your own eyes, let's also enter the capital of the moon. Karina's ruby ​​is not only one." The blood clan's eyes glanced at the fleeting emotions, and after that moment, ordered The voice restored the usual calmness. "Let the direct troops prepare. I know that there is another place that is also suitable for opening large passages. Everything will wait until you enter before making plans. The outer forces continue to block the White Rock Mountains and the dark forest, and the entrance to the White Rock Hall. Pay attention too. "

"Yes." The three nodded at the same time.

"Right ..." Suddenly the Sunwalker remembered, "What are the three adventurers?"

"There seems to be a connection with the Sofia Free Army, but specific details have not been investigated." Jack Weir shrugged.

"Pay a little attention." The vampire replied briefly, then showed an unimaginable lightness with a tall figure, and instantly swept down the towering tree with the exposed branches, as if he hadn't had time to cast a shadow.

When the dawn dawn awakened all the sleeping things the next day, Arthas's mouth also wore an inconceivable smile. The thought of a mighty enemy may make the ex-dead who is obsessed with strength feel excited. He believes that today he can make his sword love the blood of the enemy.

However, with the dawn of night, let alone the elegant smile on the corner of the mouth, even the flames in the eyes of the death knight are almost extinguished-the Lich pretended to run for a whole day, and the death knights were also at the door Go inside and out several times, but nothing happened at all ~!

By the evening of the third day, the lonely Arthas could not help but lead the scouts to scout. After a whole night of high-intensity Mercedes-Benz, the only conclusion the Death Knight got was that there were no enemies within a hundred miles. Although it is not clear what the reason is, the other party has indeed retreated quietly.

This conclusion stunned Richard for a while, and then the wise commander of the undead army made an obvious decision: immediately enter the capital of the moon.

"It's not that easy to come out after entering." In front of the open door of the moon, Falochide stared at the young man with the huge two-handed sword. The column of the death knight passed silently through the girl's side, looking like a black curtain like a background, against which Faro's blue pupils and long golden hair were particularly eye-catching.

The two haven't said anything in these days. As the few living beings who work with the undead, everyone who needs food is busy stocking all kinds of necessities-maybe this is just an excuse to escape, but But it can make Roland get a short thought and respite. As for what conclusions the dark eagles have given up in the past, neither Falochide nor Oluha know.

So, the female swordsman wants to ask now.

"Yeah, maybe it's dangerous." Roland stopped, his eyes met the girl, "But if I let me go back, where do I go? There is no place for me in this world."

"From the frost, I realized the mood of the dark eagle, so I thought I might find something here. But when I really talked with the death knights, I realized that everything I heard seemed to be the deeds of others ... … I have lost everything that Roland Streve cherishes, about Oluha, about Catoli, and ... about Jiu Yuan and Ishtoli. The Ice Crown Knights are still not mine Home. "

Falochide was speechless for a moment. Uncontrollable grief emerged from the eyes of the elven prayers.

"The dark eagle is confused because he can't make a choice." The youth continued to narrate in a flat tone, with no waves in the pupils of the aqua, "but for me with a blank paper, there is no choice at all. "

"I'm not qualified to protect others, aren't I?" Roland smiled with a mockery. "Fortunately, the adherents are extremely powerful, so don't worry about Oluha's danger. The death knight's camp is the safest. The place."

"Roland ~!" The elf girl couldn't help shouting.

"So I'm going to cross from here, fight with the death knights, and continue to search in blood and flames." The young man continued, revealing a firm but helpless light in his eyes. "What is in front of me is an unknown area, But there must be nothing behind me. "

Roland walked into the gate of the moon without looking back, and the milky light at the fusion of the two realms swallowed his whole body in an instant, leaving only ripples one after another on the water-like surface.

On the other side of the door, a completely different landscape stretched out in front of the dead. The haze of the gloomy forest swept away, and the White Rock Mountains at the end of the horizon like screens disappeared. Lined with distant peaks, the field of vision is an undulating emerald hill, and the mist in the morning makes everything hidden in it seem mysterious and beautiful.

But in the next moment, the pupils of the death knight contracted in an instant-the center of this emerald landscape was a huge and shocking black, which looked like a canvas burned by the flames.

"Go and see." Richard's brows froze instantly.

Arthas nodded silently, so that the marching column could change into a battle-suitable charge formation under orders. No one asked why, because the silence shrouded in black was more than the chill emanating from the undead. Death, this silence represents only death.

And when the death knights who were waiting for their final arrival finally reached their destination, the pupils were reflected in a ruin that was completely destroyed. The ground was scorched black after the magma raged, and most of the buildings were burned like cream. The next few have also been vitrified in the intense high temperature. At this moment, the sun is fragmented and reflected, and it looks like a giant tombstone surrounding the wrong soul.

"I'm not sure what it is ..." Elika hurriedly denied.

"This is the capital of the moon." Richard interrupted the other person's words quietly, then pointed not far away, "Look there."

The Lich's finger is the only place that has not been reduced to scorched earth. A clear spring is flowing, and the mirror-like water surface is incompatible with the surrounding death.

"Like the snow capital of the Star City, there is also a spring here, the entrance to the intersection of the Three Realms, a passage that will never be destroyed." The Lich sighed, "but this also proves that it must be Yuezhi The wreckage of the capital. "

"It seems that these ruins have been around for at least a hundred years, not a problem of late or late." Alsace approached the glassy building and stroked the rough surface. Under the hammer of wind and rain, these melting mirrors have long been blurred, and it is absolutely impossible to form them in the near future.

"I know these traces ..." Faloxidai said tremblingly, "this is ..."

She glanced silently at the surrounding ruins-some like volcanic eruptions, some as a result of blasts, some as if being bombarded by thousands of fireballs, and the most prominent ones as if by giants Divided into two.

"There is nothing wrong with it. This is the ruins left after the destruction of Yanlong Mei Lukicic." The girl paled her conclusion, the memories emerging from her mind filled her pupils with despair in an instant.

"But Yanlong was defeated by the emperor Jagasi before he could enter the capital of the moon ~! Everyone knows this fact ~!" Richard stared at the other with an incredible look.

"He can make a comeback after he has recovered." The head of the Frozen Crown Knights replied for granted, which made the cold fire in the Lich's eyes jump wildly and frantically.

"This ..." Richard felt that he had even lost his ability to speak.

It turned out that the capital of the moon was completely destroyed by the flame master hundreds of years ago?

This place has become a dead place, and it is impossible for anyone to notice the advent of the star child ~! Ishtoli's last power lost in the world has never been adopted by anyone ~! No, it's even a question of whether that young life can survive in the overlapping area of ​​this world and the spirit world ~!

Perhaps more than a decade ago, the "end of life" without care had become a natural prey. The whole strategy that I perfected and conceived myself was completely shattered by Yan Long's revenge on prayer, and even the fragments could not be found ~!

What should I do?

"Wait, I seem to hear a song?" Roland's hesitant voice suddenly broke the frozen silence.
