Chapter Three, Timmy's Toy Gun.
Dick sighed with some sadness and said, "Speak up, old soldiers are not afraid of death!"
Good stuff!
Dick returned to the ground. From a distance, he could see the rippling emerald waves of Lake Heimu, as well as the densely packed fish people beneath the water's surface. Reinforcements have arrived, and it is time for him to leave.
Dave spread his hands, indicating his helplessness. Dick nodded and whispered beside the guy whose breathing had become very weak, "The regulations..."
These purple-skinned fish people's data also appeared in Dick's eyes.
They can't harm me, don't worry!
What kind of person is this?
He quickly ran towards the direction of the bushes. As long as he gets away from the Blackwood Lake, these low-level creatures naturally won't chase him all the way to the ends of the earth.
Upon seeing Dick return safely, David rushed up and gave him a strong embrace, patting his back and exclaiming loudly.
And these words seemed to have recalled the dying soldier's strength, as he pointed with difficulty to Davy and the children. Dick nodded.
I... I am an inner court knight, codenamed "Hunter", Dick. I have heard of you, the guy who ventured alone through the Silver Pine Forest and brought back important intelligence. I need your help now... Cough, cough, you are likely to lose your life because of this!
Feeling the white bones embraced in his own arms, the expression on Dick's face was very subtle. Although he also felt pity for the deceased, he realized that history was unexpectedly entrusted to him at this moment.
That evening, Dick, who was drunk, said goodbye to Davy and Redpath, and carrying his shotgun, he returned to his room. He filled a basin with water, picked up a piece of cloth, and began to clean the obviously neglected shotgun. His intuition told him that this was his reward for completing the mission this time.
Blue!
Precision +15, Durability +15, Damage Bonus +20
Humanoid creature!
This move undoubtedly angered the purple-skinned fishman. It charged at Dick once again, but Dick skillfully jumped to the left, avoiding the fishman's attack. At the same time, as he turned around, he used the long sword in his hand to leave a deep, visible wound on the purple-skinned fishman's body.
Alas...
The "Hunter" perhaps didn't even know himself, what kind of person he entrusted the task to. With him around, Prince Arthas' journey towards death is destined to be not so easy.
If I conceal this message and do not bring it to Prince Arthas, will it change his fate?
Hmm... It seems that I have to go to Andohar again!
Dick roared and dodged Slark's fierce harpoon attack by lowering his head. He then heavily slammed his shield onto Slark's ugly face, using all his strength in this blow. The attack made the fishman stumble. Dick swiftly moved past him and his sword, shining with a deadly light, accurately pierced Slark's neck.
I knew it, mere fish people cannot take away your life!
Dick gave Davy a wink, and after hesitating for a moment, the latter obediently led the children out of the cave. Only then did the soldier struggle to speak.
In the game, creatures like the fishmen are typical bullies who are afraid of the strong. Even though they witnessed the death of the mighty Slark, after being attacked by Dick for a while, the other fishmen dispersed without hesitation.
However, Dick's bravery also made these fishmen tremble with fear and dare not approach. Dick extended his left leg and propped up the harpoon left on the ground by Slark. He weighed it in his hand, like a javelin, and threw the harpoon out.
Hahaha, you guys, don't go to those dangerous places in the future.
Review: Its existence is an insult to the words "elite".
Assist the "Hunter" in delivering important intelligence to the contact person.
Dick originally wanted to refuse, but after thinking about the way he obtained the previous faintly glowing long sword, he hesitated and still took this black and poorly looking dwarf musket. He made a "cheering" gesture towards Timmy, slung it behind his back, and followed Davey into the town.
Silver-white gun barrels placed side by side, with several black patterns engraved on them. The polished redwood handle shines brightly, and there is a simple sight groove. Dick held it in his hand, and it felt extraordinary, both in weight and grip.
Dick stood panting in place. He knew the battle was not over yet. The fleeing fishman must have gone to seek reinforcements. There are two fishman villages nearby. They must leave here before the fishmen arrive.
After being cleaned up, the name of this murder weapon also appeared in Dick's field of vision.
Hey, he's an elite, no wonder!
Dick laughed, no longer retreating. This guy is stronger than himself, but less agile, so there is no need to be afraid. He exerted force under his feet, rushed towards the purple-skinned fishman, and engaged in close combat with it. Although the power of the fishman's harpoon is great, it is of no use in close combat.
Thank you, Mr. Dick. If it weren't for you, Arufu and the others would have been doomed.
Special Effect - Knockback!
Timmy stood behind Dave and saw Dick's gaze turn to him. This naughty boy, contrary to his usual behavior, bowed to Dick in a show of respect.
Although firearms are no longer rare in the human world, the firearms handcrafted by the dwarven masters of Ironforge are still rare treasures. After more than ten minutes, Dick wiped off the last bit of black dirt from the exquisite short-barreled hunting rifle, and it seemed to be reborn in his hands.
Above the elites, there are rare elites, which are higher-level monsters, and they carry even richer loot.
Dick stood up and performed a standard military salute towards the corpse. After tidying up the belongings of this knight of the inner court, he walked towards the outside of the dungeon. However, a strange thought arose in his mind.
Strength 22, Agility 15, Stamina 30, Magic Power 0
Um?
Dick had just entered the dungeon when his attention was drawn to a badly injured man being tortured by fish people in the dimly lit dungeon. The rescued children gathered around Davy, watching him clean the man's body.
Shame on you, a bunch of cowards!
However, despite being surprised, as a soldier with memories of a veteran, Dick could not make the mistake of being distracted in battle. He took the opportunity to step back and once again thrust his long sword into the head of a fishman who was attempting to approach him, taking another life.
Dick held the shield in front of him, and casually picked up a rough stone axe from the ground as a weapon. He charged recklessly into the terrified crowd of fishmen, using the shield to push through.
Timmy took off his own dark dwarf musket and respectfully handed it to Dick. "This is the musket my father left behind. He used to be a famous hunter like Redpass. Mr. Davy has agreed to teach me some martial arts. I don't need this anymore, so I'll leave it to you as a memento."
The voice of the Inner Court Knight suddenly became hoarse. Just after uttering the words "Stansome," a black smoke suddenly emerged from his chest. His body, weakened by the appearance of this black smoke, became even more feeble. He struggled to grip Dick's hand, and after uttering his final words, he quickly turned into a pile of bones.
Explanation: A true masterpiece, with the potential for further improvement.
Mr. Dick, come quickly! We have found something else!
Elite!
The fish people of Lake Blackwood, the trolls of Zul'Masha, they are all their accomplices. I can't hold on any longer. You must, you must bring this message to His Royal Highness the prince. Their target is... the entire kingdom! Grain, grain is the source of the infection... uh...
However, the fishman had not died yet. On the contrary, the intense pain caused it to break free from Dick's control and rush towards the side with Dick's long sword, disrupting the formation of the ordinary fishmen who were caught off guard and surrounded them in a circle.
Timmy's toy gun!
I am Private Dick Tang of the Third Reconnaissance Squad of the Fourth Legion of Lordaeron. Soldier, do you have anything to tell me?
Go to hell!
However, the merfolk...
I don't know. He only said that he is a soldier of the empire and refused to tell us anything else, so I called you.
Dick couldn't help but pat his thigh when he saw this attribute. With such a thing, his journey to Andohar tomorrow will have an extra guarantee.
This self-introduction widened Davy's eyes. The reputation of the Fourth Legion, even he had heard of it. Unexpectedly, before Dick retired, he was actually a soldier of this legion.
Davi, you take the children back first! Don't worry about me!
Dick pounded his numb left arm and ran towards the direction of the abyss. Davy must have known the threat of the fishmen, but he still chose to let Timmy call him over, which indicates that Davy has really discovered something serious.
However, at this moment, the sharp voice of Timmy, who hurriedly ran out of the Murloc Den, also caught Dick's attention.
Mr. Dick, please wait a moment!
Dick smiled cheerfully, reached out his hand, pressed it on Timmy's head, messed up his hair, and then prepared to follow Davey into the town, but was stopped by Timmy's shout.
Elite creatures, also known as game settings, each have powerful individuals with physical qualities far surpassing their counterparts. Some even possess special skills. Only elite veterans or small groups composed of several individuals can confront them.
Slark!
Drip...trigger the mission, a narrow escape!
If he didn't guess wrong, it was the report of the court knight that led Arthas to Stratholme, which eventually triggered a series of changes and turned him into the Death Knight, the commander of the undead Scourge. Arthas, who almost turned the entire Northrend upside down, now holds the source of all this in his hands.
However, after careful consideration, Dick overturned his own idea. According to the "Hunter," there is more than one undercover knight in the Inner Court of Stanisom. Even if he doesn't say it, after a while, there will be other Inner Court knights who will pass on the message to Arthas.
The current Slark is such an existence, with twice the strength and size of an ordinary murloc. If it were facing Davy, it could easily win, but unfortunately, it is facing Dick, a monster that does not belong to this world.
One hour later, when the sun was setting, Dick returned to Darron County. As expected, Davy and Timmy were waiting for him at the entrance of the town.
Ahem, very well... Listen carefully, I can only say it once. Prince Arthas is leading soldiers to track down the source of the plague. He should be near Andorhal now. I am the vanguard, and the source is in Stratholme, the cultists... The Cult of the Damned, they are the masterminds, they have been hunting me down!
Slark has already suffered serious injuries. Even though it is an elite fishman with amazing bones, it cannot run too fast under such injuries. It can be said that Dick's blow is like shooting a fixed target. After the harpoon was released, Dick swung his heavy shield without even looking and smashed it on the face of another fishman who was approaching him from behind.
