Chapter 79 Atonement
"Blakemore and General Langton are gone. The "Quan" Pavilion"
"What, they are gone, how is it possible! Blackmore is not..." The most steady mana jumped up, and although I was deeply confused, I still reminded my captain of the guard in a scolding tone.
"Don't be surprised!" I then turned to everyone and said, "Let's go and take a look."
Yes, I don't want him to reveal some possible flaws. Although my face couldn't hide my doubts, no one would doubt me. After all, their disappearance was very suspicious. Yes, I think I shouldn't show any flaws, and I hope it will be the same when the time comes.
We were led by the client to that place, and I even frowned when I arrived here. At that time, there were only blood and no corpses in the place where Blackmore died, but there were some powder nearby. Gallithers, who was quite knowledgeable about this, realized at a glance what those things were and the reasons for the appearance of this thing.
"This is the ashes! It was the flame magic that killed them."
"Yes, and not an ordinary spellcaster." Luo Ning nodded in agreement, but there was a burst of worry on his face, and it became even more serious with the deepening of the investigation. "It must be a powerful spellcaster. Ordinary people will not use magic so cleanly and thoroughly." Luo Ning said so, and used his magic to explore the spellcaster. Yes, what he just said was an objective understanding, not to cover up something... But when the reality was revealed, there was no time to cover up.
"It's the magic of the black dragon, it's the black dragon." Luo Ning shook his head, not daring to accept this reality, but after confirming it, he seemed to feel that nothing was exposed. So after calming down, his face showed a timid look like me, "It's the black dragon who killed him."
And when I heard this, my mind was also blank, but I quickly realized what we should do at this time.
"Contact Crasus!"
Luo Ning nodded in a hurry, then concentrated on chanting a spell, but after a spell, his face became even more nervous, "Damn it, he didn't even establish a connection for me."
"Oh, yes." I realized something immediately, like Crasus was worried that he would reject his beloved disciple... So "In two days, he doesn't want to be disturbed by you now."
"Did you contact him?"
"I think I can contact... let him come over. Jaina said," then picked up the bottle again and murmured. At first, Ronin was puzzled by her behavior, as if he was very suspicious of her ability. However, when Crassus appeared, he showed some surprise, but he was soon covered up by anger, and even blamed him in person without any concern for the relationship between teachers and students.
"Crassus! You actually rejected my link. Do you know there is a black dragon here?"
"Sorry, Ronin. I didn't expect this to happen." He stretched out his claws to apologize to his apprentice, then changed the topic in the name of the scene and went straight to the topic. "Okay, let me see the scene."
Crasus looked at the spell casting traces and quickly looked at the right time with Ronin. Yes, he seemed to be communicating with his beloved disciple and said, "There are also your spell casting traces." or other things that he understands. At this moment, he nodded silently, and then his exploration work continued together. Soon they nodded again and came to a consensus conclusion.
"It should be the descendant of the Black Dragon. He killed Langton with dark magic, killed Lord Blackmore with blunt weapon, and then took his body away."
Crasus explained this, and I would naturally say something beneficial to me.
"They should have a deal, and they are shameful. So the black dragon wants to destroy the corpses." I turned to another higher-level general in Dunhold and threatened him. "I heard that the black dragons all want to use the human king or lord to subvert the entire alliance regime. I have also inquired about some rumors about you using orc slaves to form an army to attack the capital. Is this a matter?"
"Your Highness..." The general knelt on the ground in an instant when he heard this. When Garithers heard that they had such behavior, he was even more furious to deal with the man.
I was immediately dissuaded, and then I faced the kneeling guy again.
"Okay, General, it seems that the Black Dragon didn't take you away, which means you are not the main planners."
"Yes, Your Highness, we only heard some news about his betrayal when he was drunk, I..." the man explained, but a discerning person knew at a glance that he was lying.
"I have paid attention to these things a long time ago. I advise you to tell the truth." Seeing him lies like a slave, I hated me deeply. So I immediately signaled them not to be so hypocritical. "I have almost all of your sins. It is just that there is a lack of confessions from the parties involved. I hope you can confess your guilt in the law. If what you say is true, I promise and swear in the name of the Holy Light that all your mistakes and sins will be written off, and the official will be restored, but if you hide something, Blackmore will be your end."
"Your Highness, we will give all his guilt."
"Very good!" I also smiled, maybe I also had an excuse that I could appear here.
Everything was as planned, and what made me even more satisfied was that the scout also brought back the news. Yes, that was the news about the Black Stone Orcs, who were fighting fire with the local Eagle Nest Dwarfs.
"Your Highness, the griffin dwarf may need support."
"Yes, I think we have something to do." I said so, and turned to my trusted subordinates and said in another tone, "Falic, you stay here to control the situation here."
"Okay, Your Highness."
He said this and turned around and left, but seemed to have thought of another problem, so he stopped him.
"Don't forget to collect more information about that matter..."
"I understand, Your Highness."
Seeing that he knew what I meant, he and Crasus were here before turning around and leading everyone there. Yes, I am still very relieved about them, which will allow me to prepare for the next thing... There is still a duel waiting for me!
The army advanced to the north, and I was also hesitating when he would appear. It was not until I approached the foot of a mountain in front of the place where the Black Stone Orcs gathered that the news said that they were waiting for me for a long time. Yes, he must be looking forward to this time.
For everyone, humans who have participated in the first tribal war can immediately recognize his identity.
"It's Orgrim, charge him," Garythers said, but before he could start, I stopped him.
"Wait, he must have something to say like this. I think I want to go over."
"Your Highness, you have no idea of his strength or insidiousness. He once killed Lothar."
"Yes, I saw him at the city of Lordaeron, but now it is different from what I used to be. I have grown up, but he is old."
"Your Highness!" Garithers still wanted to say something, but I didn't let him continue, but instead said my reasons.
"The last time of the legendary figure always blooms with gorgeous flowers, and I don't want to miss the last chance to watch him."
I said this, and Luo Ning also assured everyone.
"Don't worry, General. I will protect His Highness from safety."
After hearing Luo Ning's prompt, I walked into him with greater confidence, and everyone else knew Luo Ning's strength, so everyone was not confused, but surrounded them, the troll and Orgrim.
Everything was as expected. He said nothing to me now, but raised his hammer of destruction with one hand towards me, and naturally I took out my own hammer to face him. Yes, there was no need to communicate with him for such a duel, especially the scene where everyone understood it. So the prelude to the duel began.
I am very clear that in terms of experience, I may be far inferior to this chief. Yes, seeing him wielding the hammer, you can't even notice that he has any extra movements. And when our weapons hit each other, his strength is no less than any orc I have ever experienced. Although he has already lost an arm, he is still better than an ordinary beast.
He is much stronger, especially his stone battle axe, which makes my arms numb whenever I hit him with weapons.
In this regard, I know how to deal with warriors of this level. First, I don’t try any movements that may have flaws, but try to consume his physical strength. Yes, my youth and his arms have already lost, gave me a huge advantage in physical strength. In addition, the recovery of the holy light allows me to maintain the abundant energy at the beginning. But on the other hand, the physical energy consumption is huge for him. Gradually, his strength has dropped a lot, and more flaws have overlapped, and my scene gradually gained the advantage.
When we collided with the hammer again, we kicked him to the ground while his strength was not strong and his center of gravity was unstable. Yes, if it were a duel with few spectators, I would definitely follow my hammer, but according to some Paladin terms and this time it was a sure win duel, so I did not do this, but waited for him to get up slowly.
And after a little breath, I picked up my weapon and told me frankly.
"Arsace, you remind me of your master Uther, and if you could say hello to me."
"Haha, I will definitely tell him what happened to this duel." Facing his 'praise', I did not hide my smile. Yes, I said that I was sure of winning, because I still had a special ability. "...Don't forget that he also taught me to become a Paladin."
"Yes, I haven't forgotten, I haven't forgotten how I lost to Tulayang that time." He said this and rushed towards me again. In this regard, I immediately realized that the possible power this time was much stronger and more resilient than the one just now. In order to be on the safe side, I used a stronger power of the Holy Light this time, but in terms of choice, I chose to reduce his rapid punishment of the Holy Light, but soon I realized that this was not the case. Yes, Tulayang used this trick, and this time
, He thought of a way to deal with it, that is, the moment the Holy Light hit him, his legs immediately exerted force, and his body rolled over with a 6o degree. The Holy Light hit his back, and the severe pain further increased his rotation and the strength of the war hammer. I could only choose to hurriedly welcome this. The next "fatal blow" Yes, such a short time would not allow me to activate the power of the Holy Light. Perhaps I would be in danger at other times, but the reality is not like this...
When two weapons collided, the Hammer of Destruction was knocked away by me. Yes, he did it on purpose... But who could doubt this? After all, those who could see it would think that my holy light had worked. Soon the crowd cheered, and this also overwhelmed the guilt I should have at this moment. Yes, everyone knows how I will choose next...
"Kill him...kill him!" Everyone shouted at the program they should have. But I felt that doing so seemed to make me feel guilty, so I changed my way, took off my dagger and handed it to him.
Yes, if I had changed someone, everyone would definitely not hide themselves and laugh at my stupidity now, but everyone's cheers came to an abrupt end. I knew that if I turned around, I would definitely see silly eyes, but I knew that it would not be like this. A warrior like him should not be destroyed by me in such a false battle.
Seeing this, he nodded in understanding. Then, he closed his eyes and gently stroked his neck, and the tribe chief also fell. However, at this time, no one was cheering like before.
I think at this time everyone showed a kind of respect for this once biggest enemy, and I quickly handed over the Hammer of Destruction to the troll who was familiar with me but tacitly understood while everyone could still respect him.
"You know, who should I hand over this warhammer to?" I said to him, and he nodded calmly, left here and entered the woods under everyone's gaze, while I stood there to guard the body of the Hammer of Destruction and became silent. Yes, at this moment, I couldn't help but recall everything that had been born in the past ten years. Perhaps the threat from the tribe had just been said, hope so.
After Garithers and others confirmed that he had returned, I arranged a carriage from Mailwen and Garithers to transport his body to the land near Nanhai Town where the tribe landed on the 6th battle with the tribe.
A good life is buried. Yes, I think there may be no better place to bury the chief except there, and it is close to the seaside. If Thrall wants to ask for his body, it should be very easy.
After the matter came to this point, I felt that my mission seemed to have been completed, so I handed over the command to Garythers again and let Sasarien participate in the battle as the deputy commander. Yes, I think under the cover of the Griffon Dwarfs, there should be no problem for this general to remove the orcs who had been running around for a night. So I had no need to command at all. It might be better to give these fame to him, and this is also a rare learning opportunity for Sasarien.
I looked at their backs and thought, and then prepared what I would do next.
“I think we should go back, too.
"Return to Dalong County?" Ronin asked knowingly, but he immediately asked a point. "Arsace, you should think of an excuse to give Sylvanas an explanation."
"Yes, I don't know how to tell her these things. Jaina, do you have any good ideas?"
I asked, but before Jaina could speak, a strong bow came towards me from the sky, and wiped my armor and shot the land under my feet. Yes, I immediately realized who this master was, and knew what this would mean... and everyone's eyes immediately became nervous.
Chapter completed!
