Chapter 190: The Battle of Two Princes
When Arthas ascended the Wall of Greymane, he was confronted not by King Jean, but by Jean's son, Liam Greymane. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The prince of Arthas's age was not clad in heavy armor, but in short leather armor that was good for action, and the black leather armor skillfully blended his figure with the night, and Arthas had to attach the light to his warhammer in order to see his opponents.
"Liam, get out of the way - you're no match for me!" Arthas didn't want to fight the Prince Gilneth in front of him.
If Jean is an arrogant, aloof, and stubborn isolationist bastard, his son Liam is the real hope for Gilneth – a prince who has always opposed Gilneth isolation.
In fact, many of Terenus's actions were hidden from Arthas, and His Royal Highness the Prince of Lordaeron had been educated by the Paladins and knew nothing about politics.
The death of his comrade was a great deal of excitement for Arthas, and his main purpose in the siege was to capture the damned lord and hang him.
Liam may not be as powerful as Alsace, but the prince knows everything about politics. He almost discovered Terenus's trick with Jean - so when Liam saw Lordaeron send troops first, he abandoned the idea of peace talks and turned to fight.
"Arthas! You have to understand that things are not what you imagined, and those two paladins committed suicide......"
"Shut up!" Liam's explanation clearly angered Arthas, "The Paladin committed suicide to slander you? You look down on paladins too much! The Holy Light doesn't favor those who commit suicide to slander others - I didn't think even you learned to quibble! ”
Liam had a terrible headache, and the brainless Arthas was simply unreasonable, and in desperation, he could only pull out the short knife and musket pinned to his waist.
"Arthas, you don't understand politics, all you don't understand is just your father's excuse - I don't want to explain anything, the best communication between us is a fight!"
"Just what I want!"
Arthas raised his hammer and slammed it to the ground.
"Dedication!"
A large area of holy light spread, and although it didn't do much damage, it also prevented Liam from sneaking or disguise.
Liam was prepared.
Arthas's talent has long been famous in the human countries, belonging to the kind of "other people's children", and last year he was baptized to become a real paladin, if he really fought head-on, maybe Liam was not an opponent at all, but this is Gilneth, it is Gilneth on a rainy night.
Hesso's biggest mistake was to choose the night attack, the Gilneys have long been accustomed to fighting in the dark, and the best hunters here are trained in the Black Forest south of Gilneys, where the tall trees that cover the sky and the sun make the Gilnesians far more effective in the darkness than the rest of the nations.
And as a prince, Liam, who has been carefully trained by King Jean, fights like a fish in water on such dark and rainy nights.
Liam quickly dodged the range of the devotion, and then raised his hand at Arthas with a shot.
Gilneth's musket was very waterproof in order to cope with the frequent rain, and even in this heavy rain, the first shot was successfully fired.
Driven by the gunpowder, the bullet hit Arthas directly, but the blessed armor easily resisted this attack, and the bullet rippled on the shield of holy light beside Arthas, and then lost its strength and fell directly to the ground.
In the shadows, Liam grinned - this is also something that cannot be helped, in the face of paladins, the dwarven rangers' long-barreled shotguns are not very useful, let alone the little guy in Liam's hands now.
Shaking his head, Liam pinned the musket back to his waist and drew a short sword in his left hand.
Liam is not a tall paladin, but he is a skilled stalker in combat, and he believes that although some of the hunter's tricks he has learned can't help Arthas, there is still a chance in melee combat!
Arthas had already been attacked, and he tried to cast the Holy Hammer in the direction where the bullets were flying, but Liam had already been hiding elsewhere.
Just as he was on guard, Alsace suddenly felt a wind in the back of his head.
Before he could dodge, the hilt of Liam's dagger slammed into the back of Arthas's head.
Under the protection of the Holy Light, Arthas did not suffer any substantial damage, but the temporary dizziness did not relieve it.
Seizing this brief moment, Liam slashed his throat directly behind Arthas.
Unfortunately, it was not the throat that the short knife slashed with, but the handle of the war hammer in Arthas's hand.
Faced with this control skill, Arthas, who had been trained, immediately protected the vital points that his armor could not protect, and Liam's attack was blocked.
Liam, who was about to stop his hand, was embarrassed to find that Arthas's elbow was almost in his chest.
Liam felt that once the protrusion at the elbow joint of Arthas, who was covered in heavy armor all over his body, hit his body, he would inevitably receive a lot of injuries, although the leather armor was light, but the protection ability was insufficient after all.
In a flash of light, Liam abandoned the short knife in his left hand, turned around with his right leg as a pillar, and the short knife in his right hand cut directly at Arthas's face.
Arthas's center of gravity shifted downwards and leaned directly on Liam's body - since you are fast, I will stick to you!
Liam finally realized that in the face of a paladin in heavy armor like Arthas, the result of real hand-to-hand combat was that rats gnawed on turtles, and there was no way to start. The thieves' destructive moves are simply unworkable - Kidney Strike has armor, Boning has armor, Backstab has armor......
Close-fitting concealment doesn't work, and in desperation, Liam can only activate the shadow cloak and disappear into the shadows.
Arthas couldn't track it down, so he had to stay where he was and be on guard.
While the two were at a stalemate, a black cord flare shot up in the air and exploded not far above Arthas's head, and Liam stealthily broke!
At this moment, for the first time, Arthas felt that those green skins were still of some use.
And Liam's heart has begun to curse.
But before he could complain, a huge hammer made of holy light had appeared above Liam's head.
"Hammer of Judgment!"
Liam couldn't use the Shadow Cloak for a short time, and he couldn't dodge it, so he was directly fixed in place!
Arthas seized the opportunity and strode forward with his hammer in high - the situation is critical! (To be continued.) )
