In the shadows of the forest, General Gavinrad wielded his sword and led the scattered paladins through the forest.

A circle of scorching light swirled around his body, like an aura, enveloping the paladin's body, and the magic of the holy light was focused on healing and purification, and in the 3,000 years since its birth in the human world, this gentle energy has rarely been used for offense.

However, now, under pressure from the orcs, the Church of Light has also had to turn to the aggressiveness of Holy Light magic, and due to its heavy bias towards light, the scorching light can become extremely lethal when fighting against necromancers and evil creatures.

Like ice cubes that meet the sun, evil necromancy is always purified to ashes by the scorching light, as has been proven on previous battlefields.

500 paladins easily defeated the Talon. The 300 Death Knights led by the Blood Demon suffered minimal damage to themselves, which was a great victory that swept away the panic caused by the Death Knights, but it also had the downside of making the Paladins even more proud, and many of them were quite disdainful of the Death Knights' combat effectiveness.

However, they didn't know that the ones they defeated could only be called Plate Warlocks at best, not Death Knights.

"General, I always thought it was too risky for you to come here!"

Joe. El followed Gavinrad with a warhammer in hand, and as he watched warily around the forest, he whispered:

"It's just a few death knights who stole the corpses, and it's enough for me to bring someone."

"Don't worry, Joe."

General Gavinrad didn't care, he moved his shoulders and said in a deep voice:

"For the ordinary Death Knights, I'm not worried about your defeat, in fact, I have a lot of confidence in you, but don't forget, the leaders of the Death Knights... It's called Talon. Bloodfiend, that's a ruthless character who can fight Master Antonidas head-on! ”

"If you encounter it, it's hard to say."

The general of Stormwind coughed lightly:

"The number of paladins is too small, Joe, every brother is extremely precious, and most importantly, do you remember that after the war, when we gathered the bones of the battlefield, the bodies of 3 of our companions were missing? I suspect that the Death Knights took it, and I suspect that they are studying the secrets of the Paladins just as we are trying to crack the secrets of the Death Knights. ”

These words made Joe. Al was startled, and he subconsciously asked:

"You mean, this time they stole corpses..."

"Yes!"

Gavinrad's eyes narrowed:

"Don't have too much confidence in the Greenskins' moral level, if they come up with some evil way to really resurrect the remains of the Paladin into a Death Knight, it will be a real disaster for the newly created Silver Hand Knights! That means that the Light we believe in has failed in the face of the evil of the orcs... Can you imagine that terrible outcome? ”

"That would be a devastating blow to the will of the people!"

The general clenched the heavy sword in his hand, the healing pact in his chest shone in the fluctuations of his emotions, and he gritted his teeth:

"I can't allow that to happen! That's why I had to come along... This can't happen! We have to..."

"Ahh

Before the Paladin General could finish his words, a scream came from the forest in front of him, and Gavinrad immediately rushed in the direction of the scream. El gripped the hammer and followed.

"Be careful! Yes... There are traps! ”

When Gavinrad arrived, several paladins were scrambling to lift an unlucky dwarven paladin out of the spiky pit, a trap that had been dug 3 meters deep, with a broken spear at the bottom, and ordinary people would definitely be pierced in an instant if they fell.

Fortunately, this dwarven paladin has thick skin and thick skin, and the dwarf's natural petrified skin, which is only the arm and thigh piercing.

The paladin next to him immediately called for the power of the Holy Light to heal his companions, in the soft orange light, the wounds on the dwarf's skin healed little by little, but the internal injuries still existed, he definitely couldn't fight, the healing of the Holy Light was not omnipotent, unless it was the archbishops who focused on healing magic, no one could heal this kind of wounding injuries in an instant.

"Ahh These damn corpses! ”

The dwarves had suppressed their cries of pain as much as they could, but the expressions of the paladins around them had become a little unsightly.

General Gavinrad's brows were also furrowed, this was obviously a trap set by the opponent, as an old soldier, he knew better than anyone that sometimes it was better to make him lose his combat effectiveness than to kill the opponent, and the existence of a screaming wounded soldier was a very big blow to the morale of the team.

"Hoffman, you send Niles out of the forest and help us stop those guys outside! lest they jump off the wall in a hurry! ”

The general gave a new order, and although the wounded dwarves and human paladins were a little resentful, they still supported each other to the forest in the rear, and the paladins who could be selected into the Knights of the Silver Hand were all veterans of a hundred battles, and they also understood the significance of General Gavinrad's actions.

And a few minutes later, just as the two evacuated paladins were about to walk out of the forest, the expression of Niles, the dwarf who had been scolding all the way, suddenly became ugly.

"What's wrong? Short man, is your wound uncomfortable? ”

The human paladin Hoffman noticed this, his palms glowing with divine light, and the dwarf sat on the ground rubbing his belly, an eerie pale on his bronzed cheeks.

"I... I feel blood... Boils... Eccentric..."

"Don't move, I'll treat you!"

The human paladin crouched down, but the moment his palm touched the dwarf's wound, the dwarf's freshly healed wound seemed to be torn open inside, and hot blood gushed out of it, and those hideous blood beads jumped backwards in the air.

"Ahh

The dwarf screamed, making the atmosphere of the quiet forest also strange, the blood sprayed Hoffman's face, and the human paladin subconsciously turned around, and saw that not far behind the two, on the hillside near the entrance of the forest, a slender figure with a long dark red hood was walking towards them, holding a heavy sword that shone with a cold aura in his hand.

The fingers of Tyrion's right hand spread out in the air, and with the shaking of his fingers, a third of the blood of the dwarf Niles lying on the ground was drawn out, wrapped around his arm like a beating blood snake, and with the death energy surging all over his body and the dark blue eyes under the hood, it looked so weird.

Hoffman sensed a mortal threat from the figure in front of him, he quickly pulled out the war hammer behind his back, the holy light energy in his whole body stirred, enveloping his body, he pointed the war hammer at Tyrion in front of him, he shouted:

"Death Knight! The Light protects me! I'm not afraid of you! ”

He roared and charged at Tyrion, the scorching light wrapping around his hammer and smashing down on Tyrion's head.

"Bang"

The cold heavy sword and the warhammer collided, the holy light and death, the two opposing energies collided in the air and jumped into dazzling sparks, but they could not shake Tyrion's body.

With a flick of his wrist outward, the Death Blessed Body pushed the Paladin Hoffman out, and the Paladin tried to stabilize his body, but the next moment, the holy light surging on the surface of his body was torn apart by Tyrion's death-corroded handarmor, and golden shards of light were scattered everywhere.

"Smack"

His neck was clenched, his entire body was held high, and the light in his body resisted, but after his proud martial arts and strength were crushed, his light was no longer scorching.

The four looked at each other, the ice-blue eyes were as emotionless as cold dead frost.

"Your holy light probably won't shine here."

"Click"

Hoffman, whose neck had been broken, struggled violently, his body stiffened, and behind him, the eyes of the dwarf Niles, who had struggled to raise them, were already full of despair.

When the Death Knight first appeared, their combat methods were far from mature, but the Paladins had just appeared, and their fighting methods were also immature, so the primary Holy Light attack could not threaten the former senior Death Knight player, the current first generation of Death Knight Tyrion.

On the other hand, the deeper they go into the forest, the more traps the paladins encounter, the more and more they are trapped, and the dangers are extremely varied.

From the most basic pit to the ingenious magic traps that can't be detected at all, the former rangers did not forget the deadly traps they learned after falling to death, and the forest that has been prepared for 2 days is full of "masterpieces" they have left behind.

And after the paladins really entered the hinterland of the forest, the dark rangers under the command of Tyrion no longer hid their figures, every time a paladin stepped on the trap, there were dark rangers hidden in the forest to shoot deadly bone arrows, although after raising vigilance, most of the traps could be avoided, but in the elusive ambush of the 20 dark rangers, there were still one after another, 7 paladins lost their combat effectiveness, and three of them were directly killed.

Perhaps on the battlefield, the assembled knight charge can easily crush the dark rangers in front of them, but in this kind of forest hunting and counter-hunting secret battle, the paladins fall into an embarrassing disadvantage.

"Withdraw!"

Seeing the 8th paladin being hoisted into the air by a sling trap, General Gavinrad, whose face was hard to see, cut off the bone arrows shot from the forest with a sword, and a trace of anger flashed in his eyes as he saw the other knights rushing towards the dark ranger who turned around and ran.

Immediately afterward, the veteran decisively gave the order to retreat, he had already understood the current situation, the so-called theft of bones, obviously just a decoy, in order to lead them into this trap, in the forest to fight the dead and resurrected rangers, for the slow paladin, it is simply a nightmare.

At this moment, Rao is full of confidence in himself Gavinrad, and he also regretted it a little in his heart, he felt out the communication stone on his waist, which was given to him by the mage Luo Ning before entering the forest, which would come in handy.

"Ronin! I'm Gavinrad, fly back to Dunhold Castle at once, and ask Major General Blackmore for help and support on my behalf! There's an ambush in this forest! Tell him to bring more people, there is an ambush in this forest! ”

"Roger! Checkmate! I'll go right away! ”

The goggles-wearing mage Ronin glanced at the Hammer Dwarf manipulating the griffin, who shrugged his shoulders and tugged at the griffin's reins, redirecting the high-altitude beast to fly back to Tunholden Castle.

But on this flight path, on the top of the tree more than 300 yards away from the griffin in a straight line, the death knight Serrent, who was waiting for the rabbit, stood up from between the branches, and he saw the griffin knight flying rapidly, and at this moment, the heavy black iron war bow in his hand was pulled away, and three sharp bone arrows were placed on the bowstring, and each bone-white bone arrow was engraved with frost runes that emitted cold air.

At the moment when the griffin spread its wings in the direction of Dunholden Castle, the mage Ronin's keen eyes saw the Death Knight on the treetop, his eyes widened, and at the same moment, as Ronin's scream rang out, three bone arrows on Celent's bowstring whistled out.

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way! ”

Death-infused bone arrows pierced the air, making it faster and more lethal, and the griffon knight roared and tightened the reins, sending the griffon's massive body flying upwards in an attempt to dodge the three bone arrows, but alas, they were faced with the best marksmen ever in the Quel'Thallas Legion of Far Runners.

"Bang"

Ronin waved his staff in the air, and the arcane arrows that flew out smashed one bone arrow away, and the griffin knight threw out the hammer in his hand, smashing the other bone arrow into the air, but the last bone arrow pierced into the griffon's eagle-like feathers from in front of him.

With the griffon's sheer size, this slender bone arrow could not kill it, but the moment it pierced its body, the ice runes on the bone arrow were activated, freezing its forelimbs and blood, and although it was only for a moment, the griffin still let out a terrified howl.

The frozen limbs were destroyed and the trajectory of the flight was destroyed, like a stone smashed down by a whirlwind, and in the midst of the bird's feathers, it crashed into the forest in front of it.

"Bang"

Mage Luo Ning felt that his body had smashed more than a dozen branches in the whirling fall, and when it hit the ground, the bones in his whole body seemed to be shattered, and he got up from the ground with a disgraced face, and the first thing he could think of was to erase the communication stone, and shouted loudly:

"The griffin was shot down! Checkmate... We were ambushed! ”

At this time, from the other side of the communication stone, there was the impact of swords and the dying moans of the knights, which made the blood of the mage Luo Ning, who was on the battlefield for the first time, cold at this moment.

"Bang"

Death Knight Serrant's body smashed on the forest floor, he turned around, and saw the mage Ronin standing in the forest in despair, a trace of hesitation flashed in his gray eyes, but the next moment, he raised his war bow again.

Ronin was awakened by the sound behind him, and when he turned around, he saw Celent aiming at him like a grim reaper, the runic light on the bone arrow, beating so shockingly in the light and shadow of the forest.

At this moment, the eyes of this unlucky young mage were already full of despair.
