Gao He had some headaches.
Originally, he was worried that the temper of the eldest lady of Long Tsundere would disgust these equally arrogant and domineering blood-colored crusader soldiers, so he also pulled Sister Shake over with him, but he didn't expect that in the end, it was the maid girl who usually looked harmless to humans and animals who stabbed the basket......
Should it be said that the natural stupidity is black when it is cut? All right...... As long as you think about the original Vida, Gao He feels that this conclusion can be made public as a scientific theorem.
Putting aside Da Sohan's heroic deeds back then, it is indeed time to do everything in his power to get rid of the immediate troubles before the situation gets worse......
Just as he was about to speak, trying to sneak into the church as a Scarlet Crusader, and take the opportunity to find a few guys related to the mission, the Scarlet Crusader elite warrior who had just been suffocated by the girl's repeated questions suddenly stared at him.
"Yes...... It's the undead! They're attacking again! Alert! Alert!!! β
"Huh?!"
For a moment, Gao He almost thought that the other girls were exposed, but when the soldier urged him to quickly lead his teammates into the defensive line, he subconsciously glanced back.
What appeared in front of his eyes was an army of the undead.
Ghouls, skeletons, zombies, ...... Countless undead were crowded together, like a raging wave, and swept towards the porch, which was unusually narrow in the face of the sheer number of undead.
Of the few Scarlet Crusader warriors, only two elite warriors were able to barely maintain their composure at this time. One of them pushed Gao and them into the door, and the other warrior, with the rest of the Scarlet soldiers, relied on the rudimentary fortifications to stop the incoming undead on the spot.
Bear!
The rockets fired by the archers ignited the ground, forming a wall of flames that burned violently, and the zombies at the forefront were ignited with a pungent stench, and although their stiff bodies could barely get past the wall of fire, they were burned to a charred mass after barely taking a few steps, and fell to the ground into scattered black charcoal-like lumps.
It's just that such a wall of fire seems to be very effective. In front of the large number of undead, it seems to be a drop in the bucket.
In the blink of an eye, the wall of fire had been trampled and extinguished by countless undead who had stepped on it, and the reduction in the number of undead was completely negligible, especially when they saw the undead still appearing in the black evil mist farther away, even the two elite warriors couldn't help but widen their eyes in horror.
"Hold on! No refund! β
No one had time to pay attention to Gao He and his party, except for this small group of Scarlet Crusaders, and from the rear line of defense quickly rushed out two equally configured Scarlet Crusaders - with such numbers. Trying to resist the almost endless tide of the undead in front of you is definitely just a mantis arm, but ......
They...... How dare you shout such a slogan?!
Gao He stared in amazement at the warriors who were brandishing their weapons and slaying the undead.
Once. Although he was one of them, he could not identify with the Scarlet Crusaders, because whether it was the hanged humans seen outside the Scarlet Monastery, or the power-fighting hunt in Hearthdale, these were completely contrary to the original philosophy of this fighting force whose mission was to fight against the undead.
But now, when it comes to seeing the bravery and undauntedness of the Scarlet Crusaders in the face of the undead. Gao He finally understood why even though this team had already become notorious, it could still stand on this land, and it could still be tolerated and recognized by the high-level of the human race.
Because, no matter what evil deeds other parties do, only in the matter of "fighting against the undead", this bloody crusade. There was never any ambiguity!
Whenever and wherever there is a soul, the Scarlet Crusaders ...... Definitely on the front line against the undead!
At this moment. Gao He finally did not resist the fact that he was a member of the Scarlet Crusade, on the contrary, he even had a sense of belonging to this identity.
It's just that...... Now is not the time for him to fight alongside these people.
"Let's go ......"
When the undead stormed into the portico of the city, and the positional battle that had originally relied on the fortifications turned into a dog-tooth scuffle, no one would notice the three extra girls quietly beside Gao Heβnot to mention, just from their appearance, few people would directly judge them as undead.
"We went inside the line first...... Let's see. β
Relying on the Scarlet Crusader robes he was wearing and the original Scarlet Crusader prestige, Gao He took the girls lightly through the already ineffective inspection, and when he looked back again, the Scarlet Crusader elite warriors who were still arguing with his sister about Da Sohan's heroic deeds had long since been overwhelmed by the surging tide of the undead and disappeared.
"This ...... It's war. β
He muttered to himself, but an indescribable feeling quietly grew in his heart.
The undead's attack was so sudden that even the elite Scarlet Crusaders on the Crusader Square suffered a big loss because they were unprepared.
The city portico, the first line of defense of the square, the second line of defense of the square...... In the blink of an eye, the already impenetrable fortifications were breached by the undead one after another.
Equipped with elite ghouls and skeleton magicians, this undead attack force is unusually powerful in terms of propulsion, even the well-equipped blood-colored elite warriors, after being surrounded by three or five ghouls, can only watch their bodies being engulfed by the ensuing ice arrows and hordes of zombies, almost completely powerless.
"Reinforcements! We need reinforcements! β
"Lord Dasuohan! So, what are you waiting for! We can't hold it anymore! β
"Those scumbag villains...... It's them! It was they who blinded Lord Dasohan's wisdom! I curse them with my life...... Ahh β
Screams resounded throughout the Crusader Square until this moment. Gao Hecai finally realized that there seemed to be something strange about the situation here.
The Scarlet Crusader warriors in the square, although they were extremely good in combat skills and combat quality, but, for some reason, almost everyone was scarred.
And, even though this Crusader Square had turned into such a terrible battle, the gate of the town hall, which was supposed to be the base camp of the Scarlet Crusaders, was tightly closed from beginning to end, with no intention of opening it.
It stands to reason. Even if he was reluctant to take the risk because the commander was in it, with the size of that town hall, the number of guards alone was probably enough to form a counteroffensive force, not to mention that Gao He had not seen even a decent leader among these bloody crusader soldiers who fought valiantly.
"These soldiers...... It's like a sacrifice. β
Changming's calm words made Gao He's heart unspeakably cold.
What the hell is ...... What's going on?
In this town hall occupied by the Scarlet Crusaders, is there something unimaginably terrible happening? Or is it ...... The people inside. All silently killed by the undead?
However, the strength of the Scarlet Crusaders and the defense of the Crusader Square are not considered. What kind of troops would it take to do that...... First of all, the Great Crusade Da Sohan should never be the kind of weak person who doesn't even make a sound before being killed!
"Here...... Something out of the ordinary was definitely born! β
Gao He and several young girls, hiding behind a fortification made of wooden boxes near the gate of the city hall, heard the shouts, roars and screams of the blood-colored crusaders outside, although they had the intention to make a move, in the end they could only choose to endure.
Regardless of whether this scene is an accident or a pre-programmed plot by the system, the end of the Scarlet Crusaders in these squares is inevitable.
But. He seemed to have greatly underestimated the patience of the Scarlet Crusaders in battle, and the astonishing energy that humans were able to explode in order to survive adversity.
Although the number of Scarlet Crusaders is rapidly decreasing, correspondingly, every time a Scarlet Crusader soldier dies, at least one of the undead troops is missing a piece of the boss.
And even later. The Scarlet Crusaders, who had retreated to the last line of defense, gathered all the remaining rockets, and used a few elite warriors as bait, drawing most of the undead together and firing a salvo. Most of the dead were buried in the fire, along with their comrades who had fought alongside them.
Such a tragic battle made Gao He can't help but clench his fists.
If I hadn't personally experienced such a scene of fighting to the death with the undead, I am afraid that the humans in the rear would never be able to understand the despair that could not fade from their hearts in the face of such a terrible enemy!
In the end, when there were only scattered small strands of the undead, and only three or four scarred members of the Scarlet Crusaders remained, Gao He finally couldn't hold back anymore and jumped out of the fortifications.
"Help!"
He slashed out with a sword, first cutting off an elite soldier whose legs had been severed by the ghouls' claws, and whose upper body was still beside the tenacious sword-wielding soldier, several zombies who had already poked their heads out and tried to eat him alive, and then looked down at the elite warrior whose face was covered in blood, but now he looked at him with anger in his eyes.
"Coward! How can there be a soft egg like you hiding in front of the undead in the Scarlet Crusade! β
As he spoke, he actually waved the broken weapon in his hand to drive Gao Helai away.
"Fuck off! The Scarlet Crusaders have only those who died in battle, and there are no cowards who fled! I don't need the rescue of a coward like you! β
ββ¦β¦β
Gao He silently turned around and swung his weapon to kill the other blood-colored soldiers who were also fighting with the undead with their last strength.
Even Yuu and Naganame, as were they silent, each masking their faces with cloaks and hoods, using the fastest way to transfer the hatred of the undead to themselves before killing them in a place where the Scarlet Crusaders could not see.
Despite this, when Yu tried to use the Life Portal to treat a dying Scarlet Crusader, the Scarlet Crusader, who recognized her identity as a necromancer, smiled miserably and directly cut off his own head with the sword in his hand, which had just shredded the bodies of several ghouls.
"You don't want to enslave me! Damn the undead! β
Faced with the words that the head had left behind before it was thrown away, such a resolute and unsparing word. Yuu's expression was still calm.
However, when he returned to Gao He and stood silently, Gao He clearly felt that the girl's feelings were a little low.
"It's not your fault...... The undead and the undead are two completely different concepts. β
Gao He comforted the girl softly, but ...... To be honest, it was also the first time he had seen with his own eyes what the Scarlet Crusaders' hatred of the undead had become.
Especially now, when he wears the Red Maple Leaf robes of the Scarlet Crusaders. Standing with a few undead maidens, the Scarlet Crusader warriors who had been saved from the brink of death, even if they had shown a little gratitude to him a moment ago, now instantly turned into unforgettable hatred.
"Phew!"
It was still the blood-colored crusader with a broken leg, a mouthful of bloody spittle, already stained on the tall and neat robes.
"You don't deserve to wear this red maple leaf robe! You don't deserve it! β
After shouting at Gao He as if he had said this, he crawled with his arms, trying to get away from here, as if he was even breathing air with the undead and the bloody traitor. It's all an unacceptable shame for him.
It's just that...... What he didn't notice was that at this moment. In the city porch, which had become quiet, a short figure quietly appeared.
It might be a ghoul...... Unlike a normal ghoul, it does not seem to be crawling on all fours like a normal ghoul, but its forelimbs also have long, sharp claws that can easily kill people.
On top of that, its mandible, which had completely decayed and was exposed to the skin, and the row of jagged teeth attached to the gums could probably easily crush any sturdy blade of steel.
Timmy!
It screamed like a child's cry. The bouncing pace didn't seem to make people wary of it, but in fact, when Gao He realized this, the ghoul had already reached the side of the scarlet crusader who was still crawling with the speed and ease of imagination.
The next moment...... Gao He's heart almost stopped.
He watched as the ghoul made a cheerful "Timmy Timmy" sound, and with his claws and teeth, he easily dismembered the scarlet warrior into even, fine pieces of flesh that didn't even have time to scream - just ...... The ghouls had no intention of eating the meal.
"Yes...... It's that guy coming! β
"Everybody...... This time it's going to kill it anyway! β
The few remaining Scarlet Crusaders were covered in scars. When he saw the ghoul's atrocities against his comrades, he plucked up his courage again.
And from their words, Gao He also clearly came to the conclusion, that is...... This ghoul. I'm afraid this isn't the first time I've done something like this.
Timmy!
The ghoul let out another cheerful cry in front of the blood-colored crusaders who rushed towards himβin fact, the sound sounded to Gao He's ears as if it were a playful child when he saw his favorite toy, and even this time, the ghoul barely managed to squeeze out a giggle like laughter in his throat.
"No...... No way! If you rush up like this......"
The senior sister made a sound in a panic - although she had just tried to go up to stop these people, she was forced back by the most direct swing of the sword by these Scarlet Crusaders and was forced to retreat to the same place.
There is no way to stop it.
Yu silently typed out such a line, his eyes unblinking, looking at the head that had rolled to the side, still glaring at him.
Truly...... There's no way to stop it.
Gao He shook his head lightly and took the senior sister's hand.
"Yes...... But! Their health ...... And ......"
As a player, the maid girl could clearly see that none of the Scarlet Crusaders who rushed towards the ghouls, although they were also elites, had more than 2o health, and most of them were even in near-death weakness.
ββ¦β¦ Perhaps for them, dying here is the best option. β
Although he gritted his teeth and the fingers that pinched the hilt of the sword tightened and loosened, in the end, Gao He gave up the idea of rescuing these people.
It's a lie to say that he doesn't want to save people, but after the battle with Mayor Basselas, Gao He can't let his teammates risk their lives to participate in this battle that is destined to fail to achieve his goal.
Rather than risking being attacked by both the Scarlet Crusader and the Ghoul Boss at the same time, Takakazu's love affair with having to force himself to forcibly suppress his impulses and wait for this battle...... Or the end of the slaughter.
"Add Buff...... Restore fΓΉ state and prepare for battle. β
In fact, at the same time that Gao He was finally able to give orders in a calm voice, the bloody slaughter of the ghouls was also nearing its end.
Timmy!
With this cheerful scream, the chest of the last Scarlet Crusader was pierced by sharp claws, and then, his still beating heart was pulled out by the ghouls, who looked at it curiously.
At the moment before the Scarlet Crusader fell, Gao He's gaze met with his unwilling eyes.
ββ¦β¦β
There was reluctance and confusion in his eyes, as if he wanted to know why he, as a Scarlet Crusader warrior, walked with the undead.
It's just that when it was confirmed that Gao He did not flee this time, but really clenched the sword in his hand and nodded lightly to him, the eyes of the blood-colored crusader warrior were relieved.
Then he closed his eyes serenely.
At the same time, his beating heart also fell into Timmy's hideous mouth, crushed by the biting jagged teeth, and blood splattered everywhere.
Timmy!
The hot blood excites Timmy, who bouncing around and rummaging through corpses on the ground, still trying to find the living.
On the top of its head, the blood-red words "Tragic Timmy" are particularly conspicuous.
***
οΌpγ S: Actually, the ghoul in Stratholme was misnamed due to translation, its original name was supposed to be "Timmysen", and in addition, there was a connection between this Timmy and the young boy Timmy who appeared in the first chapter of the Warcraft plot Terran plot, on the grounds that a ghoul named "Timmy" appeared in Chapter 4...... In fact, the ghoul may be the same Timmy in Stratholme today, but it has nothing to do with the boy Timmy - in one chapter of the Frozen Throne Orc Campaign, the boy Timmy and his mother appear in Theramore, where they live happily...... If you extrapolate, maybe this Timmy is in the service of Kurtilas...... οΌ
