Chapter 26 Rex's Doom
The 2nd Doom
Commander Amaren led by example, and as a woman, she was able to become the general of a country like the Kingdom of Stormgarde, a country with a tough folk customs. As the commander of the Stromgarde militia, Commander Amaren possessed the strength of the ninth rank.
Although Commander Amaren, as a woman, was thinner than the male stalkers of the Syndicate, this powerful female warrior wearing the red general armor of the Kingdom of Stormgarde was like a Valkyrie, causing a bloody storm in the Syndicate.
Just when Commander Amaren was about to defeat the morale of the Syndicate, a dagger suddenly appeared from the shadows and stabbed Commander Amaren's vitals.
Duke Falkurest was also a great thief of the ninth rank, the same as Commander Amaren. If it was a head-on battle, Duke Falkurest would never be Commander Amaren's opponent.
However, the great thief, Duke Falkurest, deliberately sacrificed the members of the Syndicate to let Commander Amaren fall into the battle, thus ignoring Duke Falkurest who was hidden in the shadows and launching a sneak attack.
Faced with the sneak attack of Duke Falkurest, Commander Amaren was not prepared in advance, and it was too late to dodge, so the Valkyrie of the Kingdom of Stormgard directly gave up defense and slashed the long sword in her hand at the head of Duke Falkurest.
It is true that Duke Falkurest's attack is much faster. His dagger will definitely kill Commander Amaren first. However, even if Commander Amaren suffers a fatal blow, he will directly behead Duke Falkurest with a sword with his remaining strength.
Duke Falkurest, who was born in a noble family, naturally cherishes his life. He did not expect that the woman of the Kingdom of Stormgard in front of him would be so fierce that he wanted to die together, so he changed his attack. While dodging Commander Amaren's long sword, the dagger severely injured Commander Amaren.
Commander Amaren was not killed in one blow, so Commander Amaren was protected by his personal guards. However, without Commander Amaren, the ninth-level female war god, the rest of the Stromgarde militia was no match for the ninth-level great thief Duke Falkurest.
Under the leadership of Duke Falkurest, a ninth-level strongman, the morale-boosting Syndicate began to counterattack the Stromgarde militia, gradually forcing the Stromgarde militia to the city wall. It would not take long for the Syndicate to seize the gate of Stromgarde, and then open the gate to allow the Syndicate and the Stonefist Ogre coalition outside Stromgarde to enter the city.
At this moment, a sturdy human man holding a sledgehammer appeared and swung the hammer at Duke Falkurest.
Duke Falkurest looked at the sturdy human man in front of him, who was dressed the same as other refugees participating in the work-for-relief program, and didn't pay much attention to him. He thought that he was just a strong ordinary person, but when he launched an attack, Duke Falkurest realized that he had underestimated him.
The warhammer was already very heavy, and the speed at which this sturdy human man swung the huge warhammer was no worse than using an ordinary long sword, and the warhammer also had holy light energy.
With a muffled bang, the careless Duke Falkurest could only block the dagger in front of him, but the huge power gap caused Duke Falkurest to be directly hit by the opponent's hammer.
"Ahem... a ninth-level paladin, who are you?" Duke Falkurest vomited blood. The previous blow had allowed Duke Falkurest to analyze the opponent's strength. Like himself and Commander Amaron, they were all ninth-level strongmen, and rare paladins.
The sturdy human man first condensed the holy light and used the holy light flash to heal the bleeding wound on Commander Amaron's body, and then answered Duke Falkurest, "Rex Doom."
"You...you are the son of Gavinrad Doom, the Grand Lord of the Silver Hand!" The intelligence network of the Syndicate is no worse than the Seventh Military Intelligence Department of the Storm Kingdom, and the intelligence of the Kingdom of Lordaeron is naturally known to Duke Falkurest.
The sturdy human man in front of him is the son of Gavinrad Doom, the Grand Lord of the Silver Hand Paladin, who has died under the sword of the fallen prince Arthas Menethil.
But no one expected that the son of Gavinrad Doom, the Grand Lord of the Silver Hand Paladin, and Rex Doom, who is also a ninth-level paladin, actually joined the Kingdom of Stormgarde as a refugee, and was also working as a laborer in the city of Stromgarde on a work-for-relief basis.
Rex Doom also participated in the previous battle. After the defeat of the Silver Hand and the death of the two great lords of the Silver Hand, Uther Lightbringer and Gavinrad Doom, Rex Doom survived by chance. However, due to the blow of the destruction of his country, the destruction of his family and the death of his father, Rex Doom hid his identity and became a refugee of the Kingdom of Lordaeron.
After learning that the Kingdom of Stromgard had defeated the Scourge and seeing the order issued by Galen Trollbane, Rex Doom and the refugees of the Kingdom of Lordaeron came to Arathi Highlands together to seek refuge from the Kingdom of Stromgard.
However, Rex Doom never revealed his identity. After seeing the attack on Stromgarde, Rex Doom stood up. He could not let the coalition forces of the Syndicate and the Stonefist Ogres capture Stromgarde, otherwise the refugees of the Kingdom of Lordaeron who had finally obtained refuge would be in danger again.
As a paladin, he could not let the refugees of the Kingdom of Lordaeron, who had already lost their country and their families and were displaced, lose everything again.
"This is the new home of the refugees of the Kingdom of Lordaeron in the future. I will never allow you exiles to capture this place. I, Rex Doom, swear to defend Stromgarde to the death!" Rex Doom, who was originally disheartened, regained his fighting spirit again, and the dazzling holy light energy burst out of his body.
Looking at the erupting Rex Doom, even if he was in his prime, he was not the opponent of the opponent, not to mention that he was injured by a blow now. Duke Falkurest cursed angrily, "Damn Rex Doom, the Syndicate will never let you go!"
After leaving a harsh word, Duke Falkurest disappeared into the shadows again, not daring to fight Rex Doom.
Seeing that his boss, Duke Falkurest, had escaped, the Syndicate quickly collapsed in the face of the powerful ninth-level paladin Rex Doom.
"Thank you for your help, Rex Doom." Commander Amaron looked extremely pale, but he still tried to thank Rex Doom for his help at the most critical moment. If it weren't for Rex Doom, Stromgarde would probably have fallen.
"You're welcome, Commander Amaron. I should thank Prince Galen Trollbane. He kindly gave the refugees of Lordaeron, who had lost their country and their families, a new home."
Rex Doom then used the Holy Light to heal Commander Amaron, and then directly replaced the seriously injured Commander Amaron to command the Stromgarde militia to resist the mob of the Syndicate and the Stonefist Ogre coalition.
