Chapter 296: Rescued Souls
"Long live the Holy Light! We've defeated the Undead Scourge! Talonshire saved! ”
The cheers of the civilians rang out from the town, and many of them shed tears of emotion. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
Locke looked up at the gray sky, if there was no accident, Joseph should have been torn apart by Marduk at this time?
So, you're leaving the space created by Chromie?
Thinking of this, Locke rose from the stone slab he was sitting on, and he gripped his shield and one-handed hammer and walked to the entrance to the town.
"Wait, sir!"
Locke looked back, and the boy named Ben ran over, he was a little too stiff to look at Locke, and he stretched out his hand and handed out the whistle.
"Master, I'll give this thing back to you." Ben touched the back of his head and said a little embarrassed, "Thank you, sir, if it weren't for you, I think I would have been scared out of my guts." Then I will not be able to avenge my father. Anyway, thank you, sir. ”
Ben bowed as he handed the whistle in his hand.
Locke sighed, he turned around and stretched out a somewhat trembling hand and patted Ben's shoulder, "The whistle is for you, you can keep it." ”
Then, without waiting for the boy to speak, Locke turned and left, standing a little confused.
I'm sorry, Locke sighed and strode out of here.
At this time, at the gate of the town, under the leadership of the elder paladin, the remaining paladins were treating the wounded people.
"Sir, will I be infected with the plague?"
A bruised militiaman asked the paladin who was treating his injuries, and he said with some concern, "I heard that these plagues can be transmitted through contact?" ”
"Raise your hands so you don't move, wait for me to bandage you." The paladin questioned him as he bandaged his wounds, "Who did you listen to?" How did I not know that the plague could be contagious like this? If you were really infected with the plague, I would have reacted when I treated you with the Holy Light. ”
"That's it! Don't think too much about it, just recuperate with peace of mind! Next! The paladin clapped his hands and asked the townsfolk who were helping to carry the wounded away.
Soon a militiaman with an indifferent expression sat in front of the paladin, with dozens of wounds, large and small, all over his body, and blood soaked his coat.
"How? What's uncomfortable? What needs to be dealt with first? The paladin took out a roll of linen bandages from a small box beside him, and he tore open the bandage and tied the wound on the militiaman's head first.
The militia just sat there and left the paladins themselves busy.
"Does it hurt here?" The paladin asked, bandaging his head. Hearing no expected answer, the paladin glanced down at the militia, who was still aloof and wooden.
Paladins didn't take this to heart either, as many soldiers often do after a big battle, and they needed a process of psychological adaptation.
At the same time, there were more or no fewer militiamen with wooden expressions around each paladin, but unfortunately, because of the war that had just ended, they did not see the abnormality of these militiamen.
"Hi, Captain Joseph!"
The older paladin saw Joseph standing in the doorway in a daze, and he couldn't help but shout, and the latter turned his head to look at him suspiciously.
"Yes, we need to sort out where we are. First, though, send out scouts to see if we're safe around us. If the undead are still gathering, then we'll find a way to make our way through the mountains to the Hillsbrad Hills. ”
When the paladin saw Joseph's somewhat distracted expression, he asked with some displeasure, "Captain Joseph?" Are you listening? ”
Joseph turned his head indifferently to look at the paladin, his eyes hollow and lifeless, like a soulless exorcism.
"You... You okay? ”
Seeing this look, the paladin couldn't help but ask in surprise, and he was greeted by Joseph's sudden swing of his sword.
"Ah!!!h The older paladin screamed, and Joseph's sword slashed at his shoulder.
The unsuspecting paladin, half of his shoulder was cut off, and blood continued to spurt from the wound.
This scene stunned everyone, and everyone present was frightened by Joseph's case, and their minds were a little unable to react, and they did not understand what was going on.
"Of course I'm fine, I'm fine!!" A layer of black energy slowly emerged from Joseph's indifferent face, and he crooked the corners of his mouth and smiled evilly, "All this is fate!" The county of Taloon will be destroyed! The Lich King's will cannot be violated! Kill them! ”
Meanwhile, in the woods outside the town, a large number of ghouls leaped and rushed towards Talon County.
"Are you crazy?!" The paladin, who reacted, pointed at Joseph angrily and yelled, "What have you done?!! ”
"Hmph, hands-on !!"
As Joseph's words ended, screams were heard all over the town at the same time.
The paladin who rebuked Joseph was no exception.
The militiaman, who had been standing behind him in a daze, slammed the hammer in his hand on the paladin's head when he heard Joseph's order.
The sound of a broken bone was heard immediately.
Now the townsfolk are frying the pot, screaming and running around trying to escape the town.
For a moment, the screams before death, the wails of pain, and the sound of the undead chasing humans resounded all over Talonshire.
When Locke dragged his blood-stained war hammer to the entrance of the town. Beside Joseph, Marduk, riding a skeletal warhorse, appeared.
"Marduk! Accept the judgment of the Light! Atonement for the many sins you have committed! Locke tapped the shield with the hammer in his hand.
"A fish that slipped through the net." The black-clothed Marduk snorted coldly, he raised the black rune sword in his hand and pointed at Joseph beside him, and the black energy entered Joseph's body. "Go and kill him, my servant. Let this servant of the Holy Light show you the power of the Lich King! ”
Joseph, who received the order, walked towards Locke with a blank face. He swung his sword, glowing with black energy, and slashed at Locke.
"Phew!"
Joseph's longsword slashed at the shield on Locke's left arm, splashing sparks, and shadow energy attached to the longsword corroded the shield. Locke jerked forward, and his shield-wielding left hand pushed Joseph out. The hammer in his right hand slammed into Joseph.
Joseph slashes his sword horizontally in an attempt to fend off Locke's attack.
"Dang!" The hammer slammed into the sword, and the huge force smashed the long sword in Joseph's hand against his body.
There was a crash between the hammer, the blade, and the plate armor, and Joseph fell straight backwards.
Locke took the opportunity to rush forward, he raised the hammer in his hand and aimed it at Joseph, who had fallen to the ground and had not yet gotten up. Just kill him now, and it's all over.
"Joseph, get ready to meet your daughter!" Locke said as he lowered his hand, the hammer in his hand slamming down with a whistling sound.
Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, Locke saw something flying towards him. In a hurry, Locke stubbornly stopped the action of the war hammer in his hand, and due to the excessive force, a dull pain came up in his heart.
A green skull-shaped ball of energy that exuded an evil aura and flew towards itself with its long black tail!
Before he had time to think about it, Locke raised the shield in his hand.
"Boom! Zizizizi"
The shield blocked the strange ball of energy, but its surface was corroded and tattered by the energy.
"This is my servant who I just recovered, I can't just be killed by you!" Marduk rode up slowly, and he looked at Locke condescendingly, "It's strange that my dark magic can't control your mind?" ”
"But it doesn't matter, because you're about to join us!" Marduk pulled out his shiny long sword, the red and strange runes on the sword were shining, and he said to himself, "Alas, sometimes if you want to get something, it's better to do it yourself!" ”
"Oh? Is it? But you don't have a chance! Locke suddenly turned the shield in his hand, and the shield suddenly emitted a golden light unique to the holy light, "I still have something to do, I don't have time to talk to you here!" Although I would love to fight with you too! ”
Sou!
Locke flicked his left hand, and the shield in his hand whistled and flew towards Marduk, who was riding his horse slowly. At the same time, Locke threw out the hammer in his hand at Joseph, who was lying on the ground not far away.
The shield of holy light hit the neck of the war horse under Marduk's crotch, and the war horse let out a soul scream, directly turning into a pile of white bones. Marduk stood directly on the ground, he let out an angry roar at Locke, and rushed towards Locke with the sword in his hand.
Just when the angry Marduk was about to attack the defenseless Locke. Locke's throw-out hammer struck Joseph lying on the ground, and his face door was smashed in.
At the same time, the whole space seemed to be frozen suddenly. The enraged Marduk still maintained a charging posture, and the whole person remained motionless.
The flames on the houses in the distance also stopped burning, as if the air had frozen, and everything became still.
Then, in Locke's eyes, golden lines began to appear all over the land, twisting and spinning and intertwining.
The lines keep appearing, then entangled, then disappearing, repeating. Soon the surrounding scene began to distort, and some small fragments began to appear as if the space was about to shatter.
Streams of white light appeared on the dead in Talonshire, and transparent souls emerged from outside their fallen bodies. These people were a little puzzled at first, and then pleasantly surprised. They shouted and cheered silently, and they soon spotted Locke, and soon they came to Locke's presence one by one and bowed.
At this moment, Locke realized that what Chromie let himself do could not save their fate, but it could save their souls from the shackles of the undead natural disaster.
In this way, Pamela will not have to wait in the ruins of Talonshire.
Because, his father is back!
