When Lenia returned from practice, she found that the atmosphere in the whole camp was a little strange, and Her Highness and her lord seemed to sigh and languish with some worries, and even the dwarves, who had always been very optimistic and happy, were a little listless.

"Lord, what's going on? I don't think everyone seems to be in good spirits. ”

Duke, who had done something stupid, naturally wouldn't tell Lenia about the fact that he sent someone back to dig up the non-existent Warcraft crystal nucleus last night, but just replied with a dry laugh, maybe because everyone had not rested enough to fight in a hurry.

However, Lenia was mistaken, and thought that her lord wanted to continue to stay here and rest for one more day, so she hurriedly spoke: "Lord, the depths of the Dark Mountain Range are not safe, so it is better for us to set off as soon as possible, at least to return to the camp where Her Highness was last stationed before." ”

"Ah, that's not what I meant, I'm just waiting for you to come back and set off right away. ”

Seeing that his meaning was misunderstood by Lenia, Duke explained with a smile and a smile, and then asked Lenia to go immediately to prepare for the departure, which made the other party breathe a sigh of relief this time.

In fact, the current dark depths may be said to be the safest in history after the formation, because of the invasion, most of the demonic beasts were swept away by Duke in the first beast tide with the power of the epic scroll, resulting in the entire northern mountain range now The demonic beasts are almost becoming rare items, and most of the rest are the kind of demonic beasts that have been poured out of medicine or are extremely powerful.

However, the former is basically not a threat now, while the latter has great strength and shrewd brains, and generally does not take the initiative to attack humans, and lives a comfortable and secluded life.

Therefore, Duke and his party walked fairly steadily all the way, almost no accidents, and the whole trip was carried out steadily and safely step by step, seeing that they were getting closer and closer to the northern fortress, and they were about to complete the task and have a good rest.

But just as he was about to reach the place where Agnes said his last parting, an accident suddenly happened.

First, Lenia suddenly raised her right hand and clenched her fist to signal the whole team to stop moving without making any sound, and then listened intently for a while and said solemnly to Duke: "Lord, I sense signs of a large number of biological activity in the camp ahead, probably a human team, and a large number of horses. ”

Duke was shocked at first after hearing this, although they had now left the depths of the Dark Mountain Range, and were currently roughly in the middle of the range, the hunter team would not generally go deep into here, and there would not be so many people coming together.

And the northern realm has never been famous for the industry of hunting Warcraft, which is the characteristic of the mercenary empire in the east, so it is not possible that the Warcraft hunting gang, but it may be that the subordinates of the Church of the End are gathered on the back road waiting to pick up the leak.

Because after fighting for so long, it seems that there are three people in the final church, including Tiger, the second and fifth boys, and the others are either monsters or monsters that are not human, and there is no reason why they don't have normal human subordinates.

However, he quickly thought of another possibility, and couldn't help but say, "Could it be the reinforcements sent by the church?" We handed over the paperwork to them before we set off, and the calculation time should have been ...... long ago."

"Absolutely impossible!"

However, before Duke finished speaking, Agnes immediately retorted, and in the face of Duke's puzzled gaze, she quickly realized that she was too excited, and her eyes rolled for a moment before she thought of a reason for saying the past, and prevaricated: "I don't feel any light." ”

This sentence is reasonable, but Agnes's weak-mindedness makes Duke more suspicious of what he doesn't know, but Agnes doesn't want to say that he doesn't force it, and he doesn't want to wade into the troubled waters of the Church of Light, so it's better to watch the fire from the other side and withdraw early.

"Could that be the remnants of the Church of the End, we'll go over and give them a hard one later. ”

Duke soon uttered another conjecture, and Lenia shook her head and said that she didn't feel any dark evil either.

"Ah, if you can guess anything like this, you just send someone over to take a look, and if something happens, the Holy Maiden will make sure you're fine. ”

Seeing Duke guessing and guessing, Agnes soon became impatient, and slapped his chopping board to ensure Duke's safety, telling him to hurry up and finish the matter in front of him without grinding.

Duke and Lenia looked at each other and nodded, allowing one of the soldiers in front of them to turn over and dismount, carrying the magic rifle on his back and touching the camp in front of him.

After waiting for less than a few minutes, suddenly the rumbling sound of horses' hooves came from not far ahead, and the sound was dull like thunder and rushed in the direction of Duke and the others.

"All prepare to meet the enemy. ”

During the time she waited, Lenia had already had some of the carts behind her that were used as transports to be pulled up as an obstacle to intercept the cavalry, while the others were ready to attack with rocks and horses as cover.

Agnes, who thought it was just talking, was a little stunned and looked at the orderly scene in front of her, but she didn't expect that it was just a casual remark that there was really an enemy who dared to rush over.

"Wait, wait, wait!"

Originally, Duke was about to turn over and dismount and hide behind cover with Lenia, but the bumpy ball of meat on the back of the horse on the opposite side immediately reminded him of a familiar figure.

"Stop, it's your own people on the other side!"

As the figure on the other side got closer and closer, Duke was already sure that the other party was the big fat man of his Chancellor of the Exchequer, Joseph, although he didn't understand why a man who was a civil official suddenly rode a tall horse so fiercely to charge, but he couldn't let himself fight with each other first.

Lenia's eyesight was much better than Duke's, and when Duke first started to shout, she had already ordered the attack to stop, but for a moment she was still a little hesitant, and she couldn't understand how her colleague could be here.

Naturally, it was Joseph, who had set off from the northern fortress with the second wave of rescue troops a few days ago, and he had just found a new camp to settle down and was ready to be stationed, and he was directly shouted by a strange soldier, so he knew that the lord he had been looking for for a few days was actually not far in front of him.

As soon as he boarded, he put down the cooked food, led the horse and ran over with nothing more than pigs, but he did not expect to be directly blocked by all kinds of carts and supplies, and more than a dozen magic rifles had been aimed at his fat body.

Knowing the true power of this weapon, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, and after stopping the horse, he immediately turned over and hid behind the war horse and shouted: "Lord, don't shoot, it's all your own people!"
