As a resurrected Death Knight, Baron Rivendare was not in control of his own destiny. He was not a powerhouse of Arthas's caliber, nor did he possess the strong will of the Banshee Queen. It was impossible for him to truly awaken his own will and break free from the Lich King's control after being killed and resurrected.
Therefore, he drew his longsword without hesitation and ordered all the Undead to attack!
"Witness the power of the Lich King's creation! Ramstein, teach them a lesson!" Baron Rivendare's longsword slashed down like lightning, and an elite Abomination, larger than a normal Abomination and standing four meters tall, emerged from the slaughterhouse, its torn mouth oozing a filthy, unidentified liquid. A deep, hoarse voice rang out:
" Ramstein wants to eat meat!"
Immediately following behind, a dozen fully armed elite Undead guards poured out of the slaughterhouse, each dressed in black, hunched over, and wielding two sharp swords!
Black Guard Scout!
These are all elite Undead guards, Baron Rivendare's personal attendants. In life, they were at least mid-level professional guards, and now, resurrected by Death Knight or Lich, they still follow Baron Rivendare.
A dozen or Black Guard Scout, equivalent to a dozen or so Paladin of the Oryx level, would be an absolutely formidable force for ordinary soldiers, but they were not facing ordinary people.
" Fenna, you deal with the Ramstein the Gorger, I'll handle this!"
Jiang Jie pierced through the densely packed area of hundreds of Undead like a sharp sword. The Nine Provinces Yu Walking Step allowed him to easily evade all fatal attacks. When he reached the Black Guard Scout, he held the divine sword upside down with both hands and thrust it downwards with force. The not-so-sharp blade of Strom'kar pierced through the hard rock ground, and then a ring of Corruption Thorns broke through the rock, piercing through the bodies of all the Black Guard Scout from bottom to top.
One sword strike, and all enemies are annihilated!
Because this is a Legendary area-of-effect attack!
He stood in the center of the Undead, gripping the divine sword tightly in one hand, pulling it out with force, like a god of war. His sharp eyes swept over the Undead rushing towards him, and then he continued to fight!
A dozen meters behind him, Oryx witnessed the scene firsthand.
Because he had always been near Stratholme, little information from the outside world reached his ears, and he didn't know much about Jiang Jie.
Aside from Jiang Jie's self-introduction, he only learned about Jiang Jie's deeds from the battles of the past day and from the discussions of other Paladin and Warrior.
But verbal descriptions can never compare to the awe-inspiring power of seeing it for yourself!
The strength Jiang Jie displayed was far beyond what he possessed. In fact, not to mention him, even the high-ranking commanders he had always respected, such as Erigor, the Holy Light's Champion Korfax, his father, and Baron Maxwell, whom he knew well, were all far inferior to Jiang Jie.
Even the commander-in-chief he revered might not be stronger than Jiang Jie Dathrohan!
This is a very subjective judgment, because Jiang Jie believes that he could not possibly be a match for Dathrohan in a head-on fight; he is still quite far from being a hero of that level.
Regardless, at this moment, Oryx truly regarded Jiang Jie as his hero and role model!
A dragon's roar resounded, and the air currents surged, blasting away all the Undead between Oryx and Jiang Jie. His face was stinging from the intense force of the air.
Oryx snapped out of his daze and saw Jiang Jie nod at him from a short distance away. Then he turned around again to face the countless Undead, and further away, standing among the Undead, the Death Knight: Baron Rivendare, his father.
Are you inviting me to get closer to you?
Are you asking me to fight alongside you?
Do you want me to purify my father myself?
Will you keep your promise?
So what reason do I have to be afraid and hold back?
Even though hundreds of Undead were swarming in from both sides, even though there were hundreds more Undead to face in front of him, even though his father, now Death Knight, was ten times stronger than before!
Oryx, fearless, charged forward!
Flames danced wildly.
Holy Fire ignited the Undead, and the burning ashes were blown away by a wind that seemed to come from nowhere. The sky was filled with burning ashes—the spoils of the Ashbringer, and also the spoils of Fenna!
She stood amidst the burning Undead, facing Abomination as vast as a mammoth, feeling no fear, only boundless courage and unwavering resolve.
She sensed the Ashbringer's excitement and the call of the Holy Light.
The Ashbringer's destructive power is unimaginable, especially when facing the Undead.
In such a short time, she has personally purified more than three hundred Undead, a number far higher than Jiang Jie's and also far higher than the two ranger lords behind her!
More importantly, among the Undead she purified were more than a dozen Abomination!
Now, all Abomination has been eradicated, and there is not a single Undead around her. Even if countless Undead were to fly like moths to a flame, they would still have to come to her.
" Ashbringer! Focus on the Gorger! The Elven Ranger won't let any Undead get close to you!" The human Ranger Lord Nathanos suddenly fired an arrow, splitting it in the sky and killing three Undead that tried to approach. He then nodded to Fenna.
Beside him Hawkspear, the ranger lord;
Behind him stood three hundred valiant High Elf rangers!
Three hundred archers and six hundred swordsmen unleashed the full power of the ranger force at this moment. They used their bows and swords to create an absolute vacuum zone. Within ten meters of Fenna and Ramstein the Gorger, there was absolutely no Undead!
"We cannot kill the Gorger! Its vitality is too strong! The elven arrows can hardly destroy it!" Hawkspear's cold voice softened slightly. " Ashbringer! It is yours! You have the blood of the High Elf! I have heard of the name of the Goldensword Family! You are half of my people!"
Fenna merely glanced at him without replying.
She ignored the other Undead; the two ranger lords were trustworthy, and the three hundred rangers were trustworthy.
Now, all she sees is the Ramstein the Gorger!
"Human, the Lich King possesses power beyond your comprehension! Look around, look at this city, look at the entire northern continent of Lordaeron! It won't be long before the Scourge devours everything!"
Sitting atop his death horse, Baron Rivendare surveyed the scene before him, but he couldn't help feeling a sense of dread towards the young human wielding the divine sword; even the death horse whinnied softly.
Of course, he knew very well that the fear did not come from the human himself, but from the divine sword in the human's hand!
