Chapter 13: The Beast Attack
Hearing the cry coming from the direction of Edinburgh, Meron's first reaction was that there was a dispute among the residents of the town.
Those who have been deeply influenced by the fierce women of the previous life know that those soft girls who seem to be soft and weak, and who speak softly, are splashing and rolling, which is definitely more powerful than buying a big horn for thirty yuan with high pronunciation, strong penetration, great damage, and far-reaching.
Just seeing the ugly faces of Alina and the escorts, Meron realized that things were not as simple as he thought.
Fortunately, everyone was not far from Edinburgh, and they arrived at Edinburgh after about ten minutes.
Edinburgh, which was still a little bit like it had been robbed, was still burning in a few places, and thick black smoke was still emitting.
Walking in the direction of the street, Meron's face became more and more ugly.
Some people fell in pools of blood, blood was still gushing out, but people were lifeless, and there was no chance to save them.
The family sat down beside the deceased, enduring the pain of parting......
In the already very difficult days, and the loss of loved ones, they don't know what people live for, when they will be heads.
"Lord Viscount, we in Edinburgh have been attacked by wild beasts."
O'Barton leaned over to Meron, his face was not good-looking, and whispered.
Hearing this, Meron nodded slightly.
At this moment, there were suddenly several exclamations in front of him, and Meron hurriedly ran in the direction where the voice came from, and said to the people behind him, "Let's go, let's take a look." ”
Listening to the voice, it should be O'Neid and the others who are running at the front, it seems that they have encountered the culprit.
In a dilapidated alley, O'Neid and the others were confronting three beasts, and two beast corpses were already lying on the ground.
This beast is similar in appearance to a wolf, with black fur and a huge body, one and a half meters tall, and nearly two meters long, which is larger than a cow.
The two fangs were sharp and slender, and the sharp claws shone with cold light, and they all gave people a ferocious feeling when they stopped there.
After being reminded by the people around him, Meron learned that this beast was the same father as a wolf 500 million years ago, named Black Wolf, which is the most ferocious and powerful wolf known to him.
"Don't attack at close range, limit their range of movement, throw spears and shoot from a distance!" Taking a deep breath, Meron shouted.
It's a bit sad to say, Meron didn't have any weapons on him, not even the most rudimentary spear, so he could only stand behind and howl.
There is no weapon, even if he has an advanced head, he will be grabbed by the black wolf and broken his stomach, which is self-aware that Meron still has it.
"Yes!"
Everyone responded, and they all moved together, and a few of the civilians around them were also bold enough to find some wooden sticks from the side to help scare and drive away these black wolves.
"Shoot!"
The black wolf was driven into a corner, and Onid immediately ordered.
"Whew!"
The black wolf also seemed to feel that he could not retreat, his eyes showed a fierce light, and with a howl, his body jumped directly into the air and pounced on the nearest person.
"Puff ......"
Several muffled sounds came, and each black wolf had at least two spears on its body, especially one unlucky one, whose entire head was pierced!
When Meron and the others returned to the castle, it was already dark.
One by one, they wilted like steamed buns that were underfired, and the whole hall became dull and abnormal.
I don't know how long it took, Meron sighed and broke the silence: "How much is the loss?" ”
The silence was broken, and everyone seemed to regain some strength in an instant.
Yalina casually found a place to sit down and said, "It's the black wolves that I encountered, and the losses are relatively large. ”
Black wolves, a social carnivore, a group ranging from a few to a few hundred, have the same habits as wolves, and are several times more fierce and cruel than wolves.
Fierce and not afraid of death, organized, large in size, and lethal......
According to preliminary estimates, the wolves that attacked Einburgh this time were close to 100, which belonged to the ranks of medium wolf packs.
The escort team easily surrounded and killed a few black wolves today, there is a lot of luck, maybe they encounter the cowards who are greedy for life and afraid of death among the black wolves, you must know that the average army of five hundred people does not dare to fight with the wolves of a hundred black wolves.
Not everyone can afford that damage.
After a brief silence, Myron Colby took out a notebook and began to report the damage in detail: "The loss of eleven young men, six men and five women, fifteen children, and seventeen old men. Twenty houses were damaged, and fifteen houses were set on fire to drive away the black wolf, and eight were set on fire......"
"So many people?" Meron subconsciously asked, although he saw someone die, but not so much.
"Adult black wolves are very strong, except for male young adults, they can be bitten to death and taken away." Yalina whispered.
"Hoo ......"
With a sigh of relief, Meron didn't say anything more, and didn't know what to say.
is bent on development, but no matter how it develops, people are needed, and no one develops a ghost.
Not counting these factors, it is also a living human life, and it is gone!
"Lord Viscount's concern for the people is the glory of the people, but Lord Viscount doesn't have to be too sad, after all, there are very few black wolf packs, and this kind of large-scale attack is rare in a hundred years." Seeing that Meron was depressed, O'Barton comforted him softly.
"But it still appeared." Meron shrugged.
After this attack by the black wolf pack, some of Meron's plans had to be postponed.
Originally, in addition to building toilets, there were many things from the previous world to be brought over, but now we have to build damaged and burned houses first.
It wasn't just the houses that were burned, some people didn't have time to rescue and burned the food......
Early the next morning, several new faces appeared in the castle, and the castle grew in population.
This black wolf attack left more than a dozen orphans, and those over ten years old, Meron asked them all to come to the castle to help, and temporarily become the castle's servants.
In this special period, there is no child labor or child labor, anyway, the world does not say this, it is better than letting them starve to death on the streets.
Those under the age of ten should be adopted by other civilians, and the castle will give a certain amount of subsidies every month.
Time is the best healing medicine, half a month has passed, and Edinburgh has returned to its old days, what should I do, as if I have forgotten the pain left by the black wolf attack.
"Kana, pack up, we'll leave together later."
Early in the morning, Yalina shouted as she went downstairs.
Unlike usual, today Alina did not wear a half-animal leather cloak, but a muslin garment, which was the first time she had worn it so formally since she had come to the castle.
Kana is one of the orphans left behind by the black wolf's attack on Edinburgh, and the youngest of the five children adopted by the castle, she is just ten years old this year, she is a smart and clever little girl, full of beautiful embryos, very likable, and Yalina asked her to be her maid.
This is a kind of care in disguise, Yalina herself is very diligent, she doesn't need to be taken care of by others at all, Kana prepares some washing water every morning, and the day's task is over.
More often than not, Yalina sees Kana as a sister or even a daughter.
Seeing the intimacy between the two, Meron regretted making the decision to adopt an orphan, and was afraid that with Kana, Yalina would not give birth to one of her own in the future.
The fact that a commoner can become a servant of the castle is an enviable thing in itself, and Kana, like this, can envy a large number of people.
No, Yalina got up and finished washing, Kana hadn't gotten up yet, and Yalina went down to call her.
"Yes, ma'am."
Kana got up in a daze, sleepy, and didn't wake up at first glance, which made Yalina a little motherly, and touched Kana's little head dotingly.
"Oh, you little lazy worm, hurry up and try this dress after washing, today Lord Viscount and Miss are going to Lord Earl's castle, when the time comes, you must be polite, pay attention to etiquette, don't embarrass our castle."
Lola came out with a coarse cloth garment, and still had needles and threads in her hands, apparently made by her.
Looking at the coarse cloth clothes, Kana's big watery eyes suddenly flashed, and the sleepiness disappeared without a trace: "Wow! Thank you Aunt Lola, it is the first time I have seen such a beautiful dress. ”
"I want to thank Lord Viscount for his generosity, this is all Lord Viscount's affection."
"Thank you, Lord Viscount, for your generosity!"
It would be nice for a commoner, or a civilian in a small impoverished town in a poor area, to have animal skin clothes to wear, and now there are coarse cloth clothes, which has never appeared in Kana's dreams.
