Chapter 492: Soldiers Coming to the City (1/4)
"The mausoleum has collapsed?"
Hidden in the darkness, Carlos, the vendor, was completely stunned when he saw the scene in front of him!
What did he see?
A lich teleported out of the mausoleum, then crushed the sigil and destroyed the mausoleum!
Probably not wanting to be discovered, the lich crushed the sigil and immediately teleported away, Carlos was very glad that he had survived in front of a lich, and later went to the tavern to drink, but some boasted.
It's just that how are the adults?
He's not going to be buried underneath, is he?
Carlos immediately wanted to rush down to take a look, but reason stopped him.
The mausoleum has collapsed, and if the adult is really buried underneath, then it is useless for him to go in the past, whether it is good or bad, it is a foregone conclusion and cannot be changed.
What's more, the collapse of the mausoleum will definitely attract a lot of people, and even attract the Dread Demon King Deserocle.
He must leave now, and must not be discovered by Deserock, or he will surely die!
Carlos quietly left, but not far.
Ten minutes later, many people of Riptide Castle, who had been awakened by the collapse of the mausoleum, rushed towards the cemetery, and Carlos also mixed in and came back to see the situation.
However, he couldn't enter the cemetery at all, because the guards of Riptide Fort had been called up, and the entire cemetery was put under martial law, and no one was allowed to approach.
Carlos' eyesight was very good, and the torches of the guards also lit up the cemetery, so Carlos could easily see Prince Garin with a panicked face, and "King Solas" standing next to Prince Garin.
Of course, he now knew that it wasn't King Solas at all, but the Dreadlord Desellock.
"Will the adults survive?"
Carlos didn't know.
But he knew his responsibility:
He had to keep a record of what was happening now.
If the adults are alive, then everything is not important.
But if the Lord is really dead, he must report everything he sees to Lord Miles, and even Her Majesty the Queen and the Ashes Bringer, not a word less, not a single bit!
Carlos waited all night, for the guards had been on guard all night, and De Selloch and Prince Garin had stayed in the cemetery for the night, as if to confirm something, and did not leave until dawn.
Carlos noticed that Prince Garin was so depressed that he nearly tripped over a rock.
But the guards are still there.
A short time later, the captain of the guard, who was in charge of guarding the cemetery, announced an order issued by "His Majesty the King" himself:
The mausoleum fell into disrepair for a long time, and some time ago it rained continuously, which caused the soil to be loose and finally collapsed. Now recruit personnel to clean up the ruins of the cemetery, sort out the remains of the former king, and rebuild the cemetery.
Carlos sign up now!
He knew very well that the reason why Deselok issued this order was not at all to rebuild the cemetery, but what he wanted to look for and determine, and that was what he wanted to find and confirm.
The underground mausoleum covers so much area that even if hundreds of people have been recruited, it doesn't take a week to complete it.
Carlos spent three days and three nights in the cemetery without making any useful discoveries.
In the early morning of the fourth day, Carlos was wondering if he should give up and hurry up to return to Lordaeron to report, when he suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves, the sound of horses' hooves!
The cemetery is located in the northeast corner of Riptide Fort, and the collapse of the cemetery even led to the collapse of this part of the city wall, Carlos looked up and saw an amazing scene:
A group of cavalrymen in red robes were rushing towards this side, hundreds of cavalry converged into a fiery wave, like red fire sweeping the grassland, and behind them was the rising sun.
"It's the Araso cavalry!"
Carlos recognized the unit immediately.
Fort Riptide continues its ancient glory, and the cavalry unit that has existed since the Alathor Empire and once followed Soladin the Great to defeat the Amani Troll Empire, its name is not "Riptide Cavalry", nor "Stormgard Cavalry", but "Arathas Cavalry", which has never changed.
In order to protect the safety of the farms, villages and towns in the east, this cavalry unit was sent to the Refuge Valley by King Solas a few years ago, and it has not returned to Fort Riptide for several years, why did it come back at this time?
Carlos didn't understand, at this moment, a shadow covered the sky, Carlos quickly looked up and saw a giant dragon!
It was a bone dragon, burning with flames.
The bone dragon did not fly high, less than 100 meters, and Carlos could clearly see that there were two people on the back of the bone dragon, two people standing side by side.
The first thing he saw was a somewhat gray-looking figure.
It was a very tall figure, carrying a greatsword almost as tall as him on its back, and a little green light flashed on it.
To Carlos's surprise, the figure bears some resemblance to the dead King of Soras...... No, if you don't take into account the ordinary knight's armor on your body, which obviously you don't know which soldier you picked it from, if you don't take into account the dead man's face without any expression, it's exactly the same!
King Solas resurrected?
He...... Resurrected as a Death Knight?
Thinking of the information he had seen about the Death Knight within the Assassin Order, Carlos was a little cold, thinking that the lich he saw that night was there to resurrect King Soras? And really succeeded?
Could it be that he had come back to attack Fort Riptide and turn Fort Riptide into a city of death?
Carlos shuddered, he couldn't imagine it!
But when the bone dragon flew overhead and changed direction, he saw the other figure that was slightly shorter and thinner, and suddenly his eyes blurred, and two hot tears finally broke through the restraints of his eye sockets and rolled down.
That familiar figure, the "Troll Stalker" from Quel'Thalas, the door panel Excalibur on his back, was it the Marquis he almost thought was dead?
He understood in an instant!
It turned out that it was the adults who resurrected King Soras, and then, I don't know how, left the underground mausoleum, went to the Valley of Refuge, and then brought the Arathso cavalry troops!
"My lord, it turns out that you are really alive...... I knew you were still alive! Carlos muttered to himself.
As if hearing Carlos's words, the Marquis, who was standing on the back of the bone dragon, lowered his head, looked at Carlos, and then smiled lightly.
A few seconds later, the bone dragon circled and landed on the huge city gate not far away.
Then, the death knight, who looked exactly like King Soladin, leaped off the back of the bone dragon, and then strode into the city gate, walking along the straight towards the palace, each step solid.
Da-da-da-da!
The red wave finally came to the city gate, and the cavalrymen who inherited the glory of the ancient empire followed the death knight, without saying a word, but neatly placed their right hands on the hilt of the knight's sword hanging from their waists, ready to unsheath their swords at any time.
In the middle of summer, Riptide Fort was a bleak and slaughtering.
