$538 Battle Master Kalju!

The life of the battle master Karju cannot be described as short at all.

He is even older than the three ancestors who have long been famous, but he is the kind of warrior who blooms late.

After the Holy Mountain was turned into ruins by the explosion of the World Stone, this guy really became a legend.

Of course, he did not rely on the Doomsday Messenger in his hand.

Before he got the legendary Doomsday Messenger, he was already a strong enough warrior.

This legendary one-handed sword will only appear in front of a true warrior, and Karju at that time was the best choice for the title of "Warrior".

Or "benchmark"!

There was a warrior before him, the guy named Jorez.

But the title of warrior did not bring the description of "invincible" to Jorez, and Jorez was even a guy who needed to be saved from the enemy by Reiko after being defeated.

This also laid the groundwork for Jorez's family status, although the two really loved each other.

But Karju is different!

He never had a defeat until he died in battle!

"I want to go in. Since you can't give me the answer I want, I will go find other ancestors! I don't believe that every ancestor will be indifferent to Baal's whereabouts like you!"

Matthew doesn't care how furious Kalju is in front of him, nor does he care what Kalju insists on.

He has his own ideas and his own persistence.

With this character, Kalju will be happy for Matthew at any time other than today.

Stick to your goals and know clearly what you need. This is a necessary quality on the road to becoming a "great" warrior.

But not now!

Matthew's will is conflicting with his will!

"I really can't give you an answer on behalf of other guys, and I won't even be arrogant to say that my will can represent their will! But you can't go in! And Leiko, you can't leave!"

Kalju didn't intend to say anything about Matthew's will. Everyone's ideas cannot be dictated by others.

He just implemented his own will and responsibility!

"We are now outside the gate of the Holy Mountain."

Leiko laughed happily, and the confrontation in her hands began to emit anger.

Leiko's existence itself is a bit ambiguous. She is not Leiko, but the two existences are somewhat unclear.

"If you were still the barbarian who died early, I would not treat you like this!

If you were still the child who needed to be raised by others, I would not treat you like this!

But since you have such a strong power, how dare you leave the Holy Mountain when you need power the most!"

Kalju knew very well that he was forcibly imposing responsibility on Leiko.

But this is how Kalju integrates the barbarians.

So rude that he is unreasonable and even intolerant of other people's voices!

And Kalju is more or less Leiko's elder.

After Kalju finally integrated the remaining barbarians into a tribe, when the tribesmen returned to the Arreat Pit and saw Bul-Kathos, the only one standing in a place covered in blood and full of demon debris, those tribesmen gave up their recognition of Kalju's "authority".

What happened during that period is not a good story, although that period of time was not long...

The sacred mountain of Arreat, which the barbarians believed in, collapsed, and the city of Harrogath, which was shrouded in snow and majesty, became a thing of the past.

The hearts of the barbarians were all shaken!

At that time, there were really few strong men who could stand up!

There were only two who could be counted and had news, one of which was Cole.

Cole, who was in charge of the Wrath of Hidden Peak, did not understand what the barbarians needed at that time.

The barbarians did not need to use the Wrath of Hidden Peak to witness how magnificent the sacred mountain of Arreat was in the past!

Because everything about that holy mountain was firmly engraved in their hearts!

Seeing the Wrath of Hidden Peak was like seeing the sacred mountain of Arreat, which would only make them feel lost and even desperate!

The other was Kalju, who was not yet a "battle master" at that time.

Compared with Cole's confusion, Kalju, who held the legendary Doomsday Messenger, understood what he wanted to bring to the barbarians!

At that time, the barbarians did not need to remember or fear! They did not even need to think!

Karju treated his people with the toughest means, and bound those guys who had lost their spiritual sustenance with strict rules!

But he stopped talking!

For all the instructions, he would only use the simplest and crudest way to "tell" the people what to do.

So, the tribe began to move!

Then it was constant labor! Constantly creating "wealth"! Constantly accumulating strength for the future of the barbarians!

Then Karju was dubbed "tyrannical"!

During that period, the barbarians had almost no time to rest. In addition to labor, they became the object of Karju's "sadism"!

The warriors kept fighting with Karju, and kept watching the scars on their bodies! The warriors were glad that Karju was still rational and did not leave them with incurable injuries.

But Karju in front of them was unscathed!

Fighting! From morning to night!

"Sadism"! Day after day!

The knocked-down warriors no longer need to do hard labor, but they would rather deal with the endless stones and the ground where grass can't even grow!

They were even deprived of the right to go out hunting by Kalju!

Unable to go hunting, they can only face the fist-sized black bread that is a bit difficult to fill their stomachs!

The Messenger of Doom in Kalju's hand is a one-handed sword, but the blade is very wide.

The feeling of the sword hitting the body is enough to prevent those warriors who were originally excellent from having a complete sleep! Almost every moment, they will be awakened from the trance by severe pain!

The burning of anger constantly entangles the place where they are hit, and the pain of the body and the pain in the heart torture these warriors together. They can even hear the crackling sound of anger burning the body!

It's as if the fat in the body is used as fuel!

And the feeling of being hit by the Storm Shield is just as bad!

The pain, like being hit by a whirlwind, made the knocked-down warriors tremble constantly. Electric currents and cold winds attacked their bodies all the time, taking away even the last bit of heat.

The only thing to be thankful for was that the warriors could eat one meal a day and were allowed to roast a fire while eating.

It was very difficult to survive in the cold climate of the Arreat Mountains. The barbarians did not even have a place to shelter from the wind except for women and children.

And the barbarians who worked could get two meals in three days! Probably two fist-sized pieces of dry food!

Everyone thought that Kalju would enjoy the "wealth" alone every night.

It was called wealth, but it was actually just some accumulated rations.

They even suspected that the women and children living in the tightly packed tents had starved to death, and even became Kalju's food!

The warriors who could not hunt could hardly create any wealth for the tribe.

Only when Kol came here with the Fury of Hidden Peak, the tribesmen could let go of their stomachs and have a good meal. But as always, no women or children can be seen.

After the holy mountain was blown up, the barbarians were just a group of refugees!

How can a race that can't even protect its homeland be respected? They can't even protect themselves!

Even trading has become very difficult.

At that time, the barbarians almost lost their dignity as "people" and as noble "Nephalem"!

Kohl was the only barbarian who was allowed to move freely by Kalju after coming to this tribe composed of scattered tribesmen.

The tribesmen guessed that it was because of the Fury of Hidden Peak and Kohl's "powerful" power!

But Kohl didn't say a word about the "dire" life of the tribesmen!

Such an approach would of course be resented, this is human nature.

But every time Kohl came back with the tribesmen who were found, a large number of prey, and scars all over his body, he was forgiven by other tribesmen.

Because the barbarians believed that "no one should pay for everything for others." Kohl did enough, and his injuries were enough to kill any warrior!

Such days didn't last too long, probably just over half a year.

As time went by, Kalju's abuse lasted longer and longer! The number of times the warriors were knocked down became less and less.

The warriors felt that they had become stronger!

As time went by, Kalju gradually had more armor on his body. At first, it was just a chest armor that blocked his abdomen, then a skirt armor, a neck guard, a heavy belt, shoulder guards, gloves, and finally Kalju had a full-coverage armor on his body!

No one could see Kalju's body anymore, even his hands holding the sword and shield! Even the eyes could only see the bright red through the gap in the helmet!

The tribesmen said that Kalju was bewitched by the devil! They said he was corrupted! They said he became a new devil!

They said that his previous "mercy" was just like Duriel who didn't want his "toy" to be damaged too early!

The mood of resistance began to spread!

Until one day, the warriors found that they could finally hold on to a whole day of "abuse" in Kalju's hands, and they rioted!

Where there is oppression, there is resistance, isn't it?

Besides, the temper of the barbarians is never very good, and it is a miracle that they can wait for such a long time.

The warriors planned to overthrow everything of the tyrannical rule through a series of "secret" means!

Then, as expected, they launched a "demon-killing" struggle!

The day after Cole came back and left! The warriors launched a struggle after a full meal!

They were constantly knocked down by the heavily armored Kalju again and again, and then they climbed up tenaciously and rejoined the battle group!

They kept slashing the storm shield in Kalju's hand until the weapon was shattered by the shield's blocking and they would temporarily withdraw from the battle group!

No one was grateful for Kalju's mercy!

In their eyes, Kalju had become a subordinate of the King of Torture!

Until! The first sword pierced Kalju's breastplate! Pierced Kalju's heart!

The bright red blood belonging to the barbarians slowly flowed out of the wound.

Not even sprayed!

The fact that the wound from the pierced heart did not spurt out blood undoubtedly strengthened the resolve of these soldiers!

When a person's heart is pierced, blood will not just flow out slowly like this!

In their eyes, Karju is undoubtedly a demon!

Except for the warrior who pierced Karju's breastplate!

"My people, you are powerful warriors."

This is the first sentence Karju said during this period!

Only the warrior who still held the sword in his hand knew something. He had never seen such a fragile armor! At the moment of piercing, he almost thought he had pierced the water!

The sword fell on the armor without encountering any obstacles!

"Go back to the Holy Mountain of Arreat! Go and see if there is anything worth protecting there! Go and see if there is still a guy alive there."

Karju said weakly, no, it should be said that he couldn't say this sentence in a weaker tone!

Calm, returned to the group of warriors who were still fighting the last moment!

The warrior holding the sword let go of his hand, and the long sword fell directly to the ground!

This is another thing that does not conform to the cognition of this group of warriors!

Karju's strong body, who among these warriors doesn't know?

That body is enough to strangle the devil's claws!

As the long sword fell and cut open the armor, the group of warriors knew why.

The armor was so thin that it was not even as thin as a layer of sheepskin!

And the body inside was as thin as a corpse that had been hung up to dry!

"Prophet Madoc once told me that we need to go back to the original location of the Holy Mountain to take a look! We need to see the warrior with the same name as our ancestor. Then take action!

Also, I have defeated you countless times, and this time I am the winner again."

This was Karju's last words!

After saying that, his somewhat weak hand knocked on the throat of the warrior who pierced his heart.

The warriors finally realized that although they had become stronger under Karju's "sadism", they were still far from being able to defeat Karju.

Compared with the speed at which they became stronger, Karju weakened faster.

During this process, no barbarian died except Karju!

During this period, Karju was the only one who really did not rest at all.

During this period, he was the only one who did not eat any food!

Moreover, during this period of time, when the warriors couldn't even get up from the mats, he was the only one who fought against demons, beasts, and slave hunters full of dirty desires!

All the spoils were taken for a "fair" trade!

As a barbarian who lost his homeland, even the process of "trading" can be called "fair".

And his so-called "wealth" is this set of armor.

It was pieced together little by little when he found himself starting to lose weight!

It's just to prevent his image as an "enemy" in the hearts of the warriors from collapsing easily!

The barbarian warriors have lost their will to fight against the demons, so use an "enemy" to rekindle their anger!

The warriors have lost their awe of the tribe and their confidence in fighting, so use his "tyranny" to train these warriors!

Kalju closed his eyes, and his body turned into ashes in the final anger!

The tribesmen began to act, and under the leadership of Cole, they came to the Arreat Pit!

Found the only person standing among the corpses!

The barbarian with the same name as the ancestor, Bul-Kathos!

Then, on this mountain called Harrogath, the holy mountain was rebuilt! The Temple of the Elders was built!

Civilization was continued!

The first ancestor's soul that appeared on the holy mountain of Harrogath was not the three ancestors who served as gatekeepers!

But the battle master Kalju, who was revered as a teacher by countless warriors!

At the same time, Leko died under the molten fire of "fate" in her fourth battle!
