Chapter 296 The rescued soul
"Long live the Holy Light! We defeated the Undead Natural Disaster! Dalong County is saved!"
The cheers of civilians rang out from the town, and many people shed tears of excitement.
Lock looked up at the gray sky. If nothing unexpected happened, Joseph should have his soul torn to pieces by Maduk at this time?
Then, I will leave this space created by Cromi?
Thinking of this, Locke stood up from the sitting stone slab, and he held his shield and hammered with one hand towards the entrance of the town.
"Master, wait!"
Locke looked back and the boy named Ben ran over. He was a little restrained and did not dare to look directly at Locke. He stretched out his hand and handed the whistle.
"Master, I'll give you this thing again." Ben touched the back of his head and said embarrassedly, "Thank you, Master. If it weren't for you, I think I would have been scared out of my courage. In this way, I would not be able to avenge my father. Anyway, thank you, Master."
Ben bowed while handing the whistle in his hand.
Lock sighed, and he turned around and stretched out his trembling hand, patted Ben on the shoulder, "I'm giving you the whistle, you can keep it."
Then, without waiting for the boy to speak, Locke turned around and left, Ben stood there in confusion.
Sorry, Locke sighed and strode away from here.
At this time, at the gate of the town, led by the older Paladins, the remaining Paladins were treating the injured people.
"Master, will I get infected with the plague?"
A scarred militia asked the Paladin who treated his wounds, and he said with some concern, "I heard that these plagues can be transmitted through contact?"
"Raise your hand up, let's move, wait for me to bandage you." The Paladin questioned him while bandaging his wound, "Who did you hear? Why didn't I know that plague can still be transmitted like this? You are all skin trauma. If you are really infected with plague, I will react when I treat you with holy light."
"Okay! Don't think too much, just rest assured to recover from your injuries! Next!" The Paladin clapped his hands and asked the townsmen who were helping to carry the wounded away.
Soon a militia with a cold expression sat down in front of the Paladin, with dozens of wounds of all sizes everywhere in his body, and blood soaked his coat.
"How is it? Where is it uncomfortable? Is there anything you need to deal with first?" The Paladin took out a roll of linen bandage from the small box beside him. He pulled the bandage and tied up the wound on the militia's head.
The militia just sat there dullly, letting the Paladins work there.
"Does it hurt here?" asked the Paladin while tied his head with a bandage. When he did not hear the expected answer, the Paladin looked down at the militia, who was still cold and dull.
The Paladins did not take this seriously. Often, many soldiers would do this after the war. They needed a psychological adaptation process.
At the same time, these dull militias appeared around each Paladin, but unfortunately, because of the war that just ended, they did not see the abnormality of these militias.
"Hi, Captain Joseph!"
The elderly paladin saw Joseph standing in a daze at the door. He couldn't help but shout, and the latter turned his head to look at him in confusion.
"It's true, we need to clarify our current situation. But we must first send scouts to see if we are safe around us. If the dead are still gathering, then we will find a way to cross the mountains to the Hillsbrad Hills."
When the Paladin saw Joseph's expression in a daze, he asked with some displeasure, "Captain Joseph? Are you listening?"
Joseph turned his head coldly to look at the Paladin, his eyes empty and lifeless, as if he was a soulless shell.
"You... are you okay?"
Seeing this look, the Paladin couldn't help but ask in surprise, and what was greeted was the long sword that Joseph suddenly waved.
"Ah!!!!" The older Paladin screamed, and Joseph's sword slashed heavily on his shoulder.
The unprepared Paladin, half of his shoulders were chopped off, and blood kept spraying out of the wound.
This scene shocked everyone. Everyone present was frightened by Joseph's case. They couldn't react and didn't understand what was born.
"Of course I'm fine, I'm very good!" A layer of black energy slowly emerged from Joseph's cold face. He tilted the corners of his mouth and smiled evilly, "All this is destined! Dalong County will eventually be destroyed! The will of the Lich King cannot be violated! Kill them!"
At the same time, in the woods outside the town, a large number of ghouls jumped and rushed towards Dalong County.
"Are you crazy?!" The paladin who reacted pointed at Joseph angrily and shouted, "What have you done?!!"
"Hmph, do it!!!"
As Joseph finished his voice, people screamed from all over the town at the same time.
The Paladin who rebuked Joseph was no exception.
The militia who was standing behind him was stunned when he heard Joseph's order, the hammer in his hand hit the Paladin's head.
The sound of bone rupture was heard immediately.
The townspeople were furious, screaming and running around trying to escape from the town.
The screams before death, the wailing of pain, and the sounds of the undead chasing humans sounded everywhere in Dalong County.
When Locke dragged a blood-stained warhammer to the entrance of the town, Maduk, who was riding a skeleton war horse, appeared there beside Joseph.
"Maduk! Accept the judgment of the Holy Light! Atone for the numerous crimes you have committed!" Locke knocked the shield's face with the war hammer in his hand.
"A fish that escapes the net." Maduk in black snorted coldly. He raised the black rune sword in his hand and pointed it at Joseph beside him. The black energy entered Joseph's body. "Go and kill him, my servant. Let this slave of the Holy Light see the power of the Lich King!"
Joseph, who received the order, walked towards Locke with a blank expression on his face. He waved the sword with black energy in his hand and slashed towards Locke.
"Bang!"
Joseph's long sword slashed the shield on Locke's left arm, splashing out the stars of Mars, and the shadow energy attached to the sword corroded the shield. Locke suddenly moved forward, and his left hand holding the shield pushed Joseph out. The hammer on his right hand suddenly smashed Joseph.
Joseph placed his sword horizontally and tried to block Locke's attack with his sword.
"Do!" The hammer hit the sword heavily, and the huge force hit the long sword blocked in Joseph's hand against his body.
The hammer, sword body, and the plate armor made a collision sound, and Joseph fell directly backwards.
Locke took the opportunity to rush forward, he raised the hammer in his hand and aimed at Joseph who had fallen to the ground and had not yet gotten up. As long as he killed him now, it would be over.
"Joseph, prepare to meet your daughter!" Locke said with a low voice, and the hammer in his hand smashed down with a howling sound.
Suddenly, something was flying towards him in the corner of Locke's eyes. In a hurry, Locke stopped the hammer movement in his hand. Due to excessive force, a sensation of pain came up from his heart.
An energy ball in the shape of a green skull with a smell of evil, dragging its long black tail toward it!
Before he could think too much, Locke raised the shield in his hand.
"Dong! Sizizi"
The shield blocked the strange energy ball, but its surface was corroded by this energy to pieces.
"This is my newly recovered servant, you can't be killed by you!" Maduk slowly rode his horse up, and he looked at Locke condescendingly, "It's really strange that my dark magic can't control your thinking?"
"But it doesn't matter, because you're going to join us soon!" Maduk pulled out his shiny long sword, and the strange red runes on the sword were shining. He said to himself, "Oh, sometimes if you want to get something, it's better to do it yourself!"
"Oh? Is it? But you have no chance!" Locke suddenly turned the shield in his hand, and a golden light unique to the holy light suddenly appeared on the shield. "I still have something to do, and I don't have time to argue with you here! Although I really want to fight with you!"
Whoosh!
Locke shook his left hand, and the shield in his hand roared and flew towards Maduk, who was riding his horse slowly. At the same time, Locke shook out the hammer in his hand to Joseph, who was lying on the ground not far away.
The Holy Light Shield hit the neck of the war horse under Maduk's crotch. The war horse let out a soul-wrenching cry and turned into a pile of bones. Maduk stood directly on the ground, and he roared at Locke, waving the sword in his hand and rushed towards Locke.
Just as the angry Maduk was about to attack the unarmed Locke, the hammer that Locke threw out hit Joseph lying on the ground, and his face was smashed into pieces.
At the same time, the entire space seemed to be suddenly fixed. The angry Maduk still maintained a charge posture, and his whole body remained motionless.
The flames on the houses in the distance also stopped burning, as if the air had solidified, and everything turned still.
Then in Locke's eyes, golden lines began to appear everywhere on the earth, twisting and tangling.
These lines constantly appear, then entangle, then disappear and repeat. Soon the surrounding scenes began to twist, and the space seemed to be about to shatter, and some tiny fragments began to appear.
A series of white lights appeared on the dead people in Dalong County, and transparent souls appeared from outside their fallen bodies. These people were a little confused, and then became surprised. They shouted silently and cheered. They soon appeared Locke, and soon these people came to Locke to bow and salute.
At this moment, Locke realized a little. What Cromi asked him to do could not save their destiny, but could save their souls from the shackles of the undead.
In this way, Pamela would not have to wait for the ruins of Dalong County.
