The military and civilians of Dalong County were not able to last long with the arrival of the envoy of light and the joy of victory, because the situation quickly took a sharp turn. When the night was about to fall, the situation was about to be bad so that even Uther himself, who was in the silver hand, felt a little desperate...

According to the information provided by the scouts in Dalong County and the two sneaking thief mercenaries under the goblin, the undead began to assemble outside Dalong County again, and their number may have exceeded 10,000 and are approaching 20,000... In short, their number is very terrifying.

According to information, they also have a large number of meat grinders, ghouls, hatreds, and those acolytes and necromancers who curse the Divine Cult who have evil spells. Of course, it is said that there are still many death knights who can compete with the most powerful paladins!

Obviously, the undead's unsuccessful Dalong County and the previous defeat seemed to have made the undead determined to take over the difficult bone of Dalong County in one go. Even if the geographical location of Dalong County is not very important and the population is not too large?

Faced with more and more enemies and still gathering, the miscellaneous defenders of only more than a thousand people in Dalong County, composed of a small number of paladins, some of the sword and shield infantry of the Lordaeron Legion, the militia of the Dalong County and a large number of armed farmers, will definitely not be able to defend them. Even if they have once again recruited the strong young and strong refugees from the Lordaeron who fled to Dalong County and armed them and organized them into the defenders, the number once reached more than 2,000!

Some people even couldn't help but think: When the more than a thousand most elite Paladins of Silver Hand arrived, they might at most be able to defeat the other party or confront each other. It should be a bit difficult to destroy all the undead and completely end the bad situation of Dalong County being surrounded.

‘It has been investigated clearly!’

"After that raider Hogus was burned to death, and after the undead was defeated, it should be the death knight, the death knight, Masek, who was controlling the undead. The paladin who went to scout recognized the terrible guy, who could have many dark and evil spells, and a terrible rune sword. I'm afraid that no one here is his opponent except Lord Uther!'

‘They are gathering in this place now, with more and more troops. As it stands, they will likely launch an attack tomorrow morning or at noon at the latest!’

‘There is not much time left for us…’

In a temporary shed on the front line of Darron County, Paladin Davi Croverd was explaining the bad situation facing Darron County to Uther, Captain Joseph Redpass, and other Paladins and some witches.

Although it was almost dark now, none of them, the native Dalong County people, like those militiamen, planned to hurry home and reunite with their families for a short time, but were still racking their brains here to lay out defenses and think about countermeasures.

'If it can be removed, it will be very beneficial to us! But, unfortunately, it is very cunning and has been hiding in the heavy protection of the undead. It must have heard of Hogus, so it took some precautions in advance!'

Speaking of this, Joseph Redpass could only shake his head helplessly. Obviously, he must have thought of any effective method now.

‘Everyone!’

'You see, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack. We can actually set up a new defense line here urgently. It only takes half a night to complete at most. The soldiers can still take half a night to take a rotation to rest. This should block the offensive speed of the undead and buy a lot of time for the arrival of reinforcements.'

At this time, a Paladin officer with Silver Hand stepped forward and said to an intersection on the suggestion sand table.

It was an intersection with cliffs on both sides. Although it was not too high, it was still very beneficial to the defense side. It would be even better if several arrow towers could be built on both sides. However, now the time is urgent, and it should be a good choice to directly hit horse-rejection and obstacles?

So, after he finished speaking, he looked at their Uther with anticipation, hoping to get the other party's approval.

"You can try it!"

Uther nodded, thinking that an extra line of defense was not a bad thing, and he recognized the idea, but he soon looked at the witch Hermione Granger again. Obviously, he seemed to have other ideas?

"Wizard Hermione, can you still use that powerful flame magic? Even if we only have one shot, we may have a little chance to kill that evil knight from a distance!"

Without surprise, Uther had the idea of ​​the little witch in front of him again, thinking that the terrifying flame magic that the other party surged out today might be the key to their defeat or defeating the undead? You know, he saw that as long as he hit it, even the powerful ghoul would be burned to ashes in an instant. I believe that there should be no big problems in dealing with the Death Knight and the like.

"ah?"

"No! Lord Uther, haven't I told you? The 'Broken Fire' has been used up by me. It's not my spell, it's the constant enchantment of my teacher on the magic book. Today there are only three shots left. It was time to deal with the terrible ghoul before, and it will automatically recover after noon tomorrow..."

Although Hermione really wants to help these paladins and help them protect this Dalong County, she really has no good idea now, because the "Broken Fire" is indeed gone, and her own spells may only be able to hide behind and slap coldly to make a bad move. She must not expect too high.

“…”

Uther stopped talking immediately because he was really helpless now. Although he was a "messenger of Light", his role in such a large-scale battle and even when there were many enemies and fewer enemies, his role was indeed extremely limited.

‘When will our reinforcements arrive?’

‘The earliest one was almost the day after tomorrow!’

'The goblin Rosa said, there were too many undead on the way they were moving forward, and the speed of their journey was severely delayed!'

‘They are basically moving forward while fighting now. The evil spirits must have known their intentions, so they have been harassing them!’

'hateful!'

‘The day after tomorrow? I’m afraid it’s too late…’

‘…’

‘Can’t this witch continue to bring our Paladins with that teleportation spell?’

‘Yes! If you can teleport…’

Hearing the officers' discussion, Uther didn't say anything, but turned his head to look at the young witch again.

"no!"

"It's already a great burden for me to take twenty people to move the phantom. My magic can only be used once at most!"

Hermione didn't think that bringing twenty more people over can play a lot of roles, so it would be better to leave it to her for other spells or to fight!

'well……'

‘But, Wizard Hermione, isn’t there really no other more powerful spell in your magic book?’

At this time, the militia captain of Darron County, Joseph Redpas, suddenly pointed to the magic book that was said to be very powerful and said.

“!!”

"What do you think magic is? You can release it by just flipping through the book?"

Hermione rolled her eyes at the other party. Although there were indeed even more powerful spells in the book, unfortunately, she couldn't let it go and didn't have the ability to cast it. After all, she is just a fourth-grade student at Hogwarts now, and she really can't expect too much from her.

"Isn't it?"

Without waiting for Captain Joseph Redpass to say something, Davi Croverd, who was beside him, joked.

“Anyway…”

"When we paladins need strength, we just need to pray to the Holy Light."

Davi shrugged, and in fact, they did that Paladins do it.

For the Paladins, the more pious you are to be with the Holy Light, the more you will gain! Of course, there are other relationships, such as: the quality of your body must be high, the upper limit of the Holy Light you can accommodate must be large, etc. After all, although the Holy Light is good, once the amount is too large, it is possible to hurt yourself before you harm the enemy or use it for other purposes, which is not worth the loss!

"Dalong County is really dangerous now, and we may not be able to hold on tomorrow's night..."

"So please, Miss Granger, is there really no other way for you magical wizards?"

Joseph asked sincerely again.

Anyway, their Paladins are completely helpless now. In addition to guarding and fighting against the enemy, their only way is to wait for the arrival of reinforcements! However, according to the description of the goblin, their reinforcements will not arrive until noon the day after tomorrow, because the undead along the way are constantly attacking, and even the Paladins of the Silver Hand cannot come too quickly.

"It's really not..."

"Wait! It seems that there is a way. You guys wait first, I want to take a look..."

Suddenly, Hermione, who thought of something, suddenly shuddered, and then asked the Paladins who cast curiosity and expectation to look at her to wait first, and then she quickly flipped through the magic book. Then, soon, based on her own excellent memory, she found the content she was looking for on one page, and quickly browsed and confirmed.

"Everyone!"

"I think I do have another way, but I don't know if we should use it..."

Finally, after reading it, Hermione, who felt that there should be no problem, spread out his magic book and put it in front of the Paladins.

That was something she accidentally discovered when she was looking through it a while ago, not long after school started. She didn't even know if it was originally there, or if she missed it for various reasons when she was looking through it?

‘…’

‘What is this?’

‘It looks like some weird magic circle? Is it a powerful magic?’

‘I can’t see what it is…’

‘This is why I hate reading. It’s better to have a holy light. If you don’t understand anything, just pray!’

'Ha ha……'

After watching for a while, the Paladins had a rare pleasure in suffering and burst into laughter.

Obviously, the Paladins must not easily recognize the strange things of the mages, not to mention that it is a strange symbol and formation painted in a profound magic book?

‘…’

"Hermione, can you tell us?"

After pondering for a while, Uther, who obviously couldn't understand, had to look at the little girl with questioning eyes. Because time is tight now, he obviously doesn't want to continue guessing. He just wants to get the answer he wants as soon as possible.

"This is a note to summon spells. It should be a hand-painted pattern and runes by my teacher. And it is also said above that it can summon an extremely powerful existence..."

"So I think we have no other way anyway. Maybe we can try it first while there is still a chance?"

"but……"

But Hermione didn't say anything, because she was still a little uncertain. After all, this was their Professor Anne's note. God knew what the other party would put into this magic book.

‘!!’

‘What are you waiting for? Get ready quickly? Is it useful or not? I will try it before talking about it. It is better than waiting to die!’

‘Joseph is right!’

'really……'

‘I know, I have seen that those mages like Dalaran summon water and earth elements. If Miss Granger can be sure it is better than that, just try it?’

‘The Holy Light will protect us…’

After listening to Hermione's description, the Paladins made a fuss, regardless of what the other party was going to summon.

After all, the situation is urgent now, and you may have a chance to try it. If you don’t try it, when the undead’s siege equipment is ready and when they rush in, they may not be able to hold on tomorrow at dusk, let alone the reinforcements the day after tomorrow at noon.

So, no matter what the method is now, the Paladins who have changed from warriors to the first generation will definitely not be so pedantic.
To be continued...
