"According to your father's will, I came to bring you to him . The Holy Light will never be extinguished," Lu Li said, then gently added, "The spirit of the Paladins must be continued . Although darkness envelops this fallen land, the Holy Light is still guides all people . As long as our faith does not waver, all things will not wither .
These were words from Myranda . Lu Li had only relayed them to Tyran, since he thought that they would be encouraging to him .
"Who are you?"
The four guards were filled with anger, even before Tyran had spoken .
Their real objective was not only to guard Tyran, but also to spy on him for Isillien . After hearing Lu Li's words, they had instantly become enranged .
They were about to attack Lu Li, but were interrupted by Tyran, who stood in front of Lu Li, and commanded, "Stand down . I have business with this man . He is not our enemy . "
"This cannot be! The High Inquisitor requested for your protection . Attack!"
Lu Li was dressed as a Scarlet Crusader, so he appeared to be one of them .
They did want to engage Tyran Fordring in battle, as he was the figurehead of the Scarlet Crusade, but they planned to go around him and kill this traitorous soldier .
Lu Li began to worry as he could be attacked, which would cause him to lose this transformation .
Fortunately, Tyran Fordring wouldn't let anything happen to Lu Li, either out of compassion or the code he had sworn by as a Paladin .
He drew his longsword and began to fend off the four guards .
From Lu Li's perspective, Tyran Fordring was truly strong . However, he could not unleash his full strength, perhaps because of his wavering faith or the alcohol .
However, he was still fully capable of defeating the guards .
The Four Paladins could not hope to break Tyran's defense, unless they unleashed their ultimate skills .
"We should finish this quickly . Otherwise, reinforcements will arrive and we won't be able to escape," Lu Li quickly reminded .
"Stand down . I am leaving this place now . Please do not stop me," Tyran Fordring said .
"What led to the fall of your faith? Are you going to betray the Crusade?" one of the guards yelled, then swung his blade and said, "Kill this traitor . "
Although he was a figurehead leader in the Crusade, he was still quite capable in battle .
Tyran Fordring was enraged . He did not want to kill anyone, but this did not mean he was a complete pacifist .
The four guards were no match for him at all . After all, there was a massive difference in skill level between a normal soldier and a Boss .
"We will kill our way out," Tyran Fordring said as he wiped his blood-stained face and rushed out from the castle .
What the heck? Why did it have to be like this?
Lu Li was a little gloomy . He couldn't hope to stop this impulsive man in time to escape before they had sounded the alarms for reinforcements .
Even though he was a puppet, it would have been easier for him to be stopped than to fight their way out .
If they had followed Lu Li's strategy, they might have escaped Fireplace Valley with no conflict or injuries .
Perhaps this had been designed by the System . If that was the case, Lu Li could not do anything but follow closely .
He waited for an opportunity to attack .
No one would have expected that Lu Li was actually a Thief in his current disguise, whether in game or in real life .
"My Lord, please count your life as something precious," a Scarlet Crusade Commander said .
Behind him was a line of Scarlet Crusaders, and he was by definition a Boss as well . The collaboration of all their strength posed a great threat to Tyran Fordring .
However, Tyran was not afraid at all; he was yearning to return to his father . As he raised his blade with a smile, he said, "All this time, I was the puppet of the Scarlet Crusade . What led you all to rebel like this In these 10 years, I have not forgotten any of my memories with my father . These precious things had allowed me to continue to live . "
"I often dreamed that my father was with me . He stood beside me proudly and watched on as I joined the knighthood . All of us rallied in battle against the Scourge, and brought glory and honour to the Alliance and Lordaeron…"
Lu Li was a little moved, and this clearly showed by his expression . He had hoped that these soldiers would also be moved, just like he was . He had hoped that there would no bloodshed, and that they would give way to Tyran .
However, Lu Li ended up disappointed, since the spirits of these soldiers had already been lost . Their ruthlessness was not only used against the Scourge, but against all those who opposed their ways of thinking .
"Don't obstruct my way home, you bastards," Tyran Fordring spat . He knew that this was going to happen, so he rushed forward first .
His desire to return to his home had unleashed a considerable amount of strength in him, and he cut down the Boss-like Commander along with his soldiers . None of them were strong enough to match him in battle .
All the Scarlet Crusaders had been ordered to kill Tyran Fordring on sight .
Fireplace Valley was not the main camp of the Scarlet Crusade, but was only used to spy and confine Tyran Fordring .
However, he would be held captive no longer . He was like a lion that had awakened from a deep slumber; there was nothing that anyone could do to stop him . There was only one goal on his mind – to return to his father's side .
His eyes were red with rage, and he did not spare any Scarlet Crusaders that entered his line of sight .
Lu Li reminded him again and again about not wasting time, but he ignored even that . The will and determination of a Paladin could not be shaken after they had set their eyes on something .
As strong as he was, Tyran was still mortal . However, he had healing abilities, which
made things a lot easier for Lu Li .
They escaped the camp after crossing one more outpost and two more intersections . When they arrived at the edge of a forest, Tyran could not hold back his urge to speed up due to his emotions .
The guards here were weaker than the ones in Fireplace Valley, but Lu Li was more nervous .
Suddenly, a cold, sharp voice resounded through the air from the outpost as three people walked out . The one who led the three was the High Inquisitor himself, Isillien .
