Not long ago, Locke's brain was down, and he remembered this Crowley family.

Locke once played a werewolf trumpet and was curious about why this Crowley Lord was in prison, so he searched the Internet. So, I learned about this family.

It was precisely because of these things that Locke wanted to reconcile Crorey's daughter with Wellington. Without the Forsaken as an external threat, the Gilneys solved the problem of the domestic wolf plague. The Greymane and Crowley families will inevitably get out of the city walls, and the ownership of the southern part of the Silver Pine Forest becomes a question.

In this world, the best way to resolve territorial disputes is certainly marriage, which is one of the best ways to overcome differences. In addition, it was the Greymans who gave up the lands outside the city walls in the first place, so the Greymans had no say in this matter. For the rest of the Crowley family, Locke intends to reconcile his daughter Rhona and Wellington, and does not expect Crowley to let Wellington inherit all his territory, as long as he can keep the southern Silver Pine Forest.

As for whether this compromise will work, Locke doesn't know, it depends on how the situation develops in the future.

Rested for the day at Ambermere and ate a few hot bush smorgasbords. Locke's guards departed, heading for the final destination of the journey, Southsea Town.

By the time they arrived at South Point, the garrison had been replaced by soldiers in red Scarlet Crusader uniforms. The wizards of Dalaran did it very thoroughly, and they directly asked the original army here to take off the violet robes and replace them with red blood-colored crusader robes.

As the commander of the Southern Theater of Operations, Bridget took a part of the people here early to wait for Locke's arrival.

"Major General Bridget Abydis, commander of the Southern Theater of Operations, report to Grand Commander Harvey!"

The arrival of spring also made the woman's face frostbite healed, and there were no other wounds except for some scars. Looking at a serious Bridget, Locke almost couldn't hold back his laughter, but in order not to affect military discipline, Locke still walked with Bridget in a serious way.

He returned the salute and asked, "How's the battle going in the Jasper Mine?" Those ogres? ”

"The battle is over, we have captured a total of 32 ogres, killed 187." Bridget said with a normal expression, "There are 19 wounded on our side, and no one is dead. ”

"This ogre race is not small, well done!" Locke couldn't help but give her a thumbs up. "What surprised me the most was that no one in the First Legion had died, which was really beautiful!"

Bridget curled the corners of her mouth and said with a smug expression, "Those big guys are just muscular, eat a lot, and don't have anything in their heads." As soon as our soldiers appear in front of them, they will come after us. ”

"They are very strong but heavy, and finding some dexterous soldiers to lure them into our trap will solve the problem. Had it not been for Lord Marbrey's insistence, we had no intention of keeping the prisoners. ”

Bridget then turned her gaze to the young squire behind Locke, and she smiled and gave the squire a hug.

"Ben, I heard my father write to me that you became Lord Harvey's squire, and I didn't believe it at first." Brigitte doted on her short red hair, "Study hard, there are many things that Lord Harvey can benefit you from." ”

"Cousin Bridget, don't hug me like that," young Ben blushed, dodging away from the smiling glances of everyone around him, pushing Bridgette, "I'm a squire now, not a child." ”

"Haha, I'm still as shy as before, this can't be done, you have to show yourself. Maybe we'll be able to kidnap some noble lady from Lord Harvey. ”

Bridget's quip embarrassed Ben ran to the back of the line, and some of the knights made fun of him, and the laughter in the line rang out one after another.

The addition of the Bridgette Guard made the line a little longer, and she walked side by side with Locke, introducing Locke to the Hillsbrad Hills.

"I had contact with that Clito, and he didn't admit that he had contact with Dasalia. What he said to me was that he was not yet the Duke of Talenmir, that he had been driven out of Talummir by Dasalia. ”

"He didn't respond in the slightest to your summons."

Locke shrugged and said to Bridget, "There are always people who don't know how much the whip hurts without hitting him." ”

"Aiden of the Syndicate has spoken to me, and his men have been completely withdrawn from the hills, leaving our enemies alone." In the middle of speaking, the team had long since left the South Point Fortress, where a wing was stationed.

On the left side of King's Road, you can see some farm buildings destroyed by fire; Crumbling granaries, tattered windmills, broken stables. For hundreds of metres, you can see these ruined farmhouses along the road.

The fields that can be seen everywhere are no longer lush with grain, and the weeds that are more than one person tall are overgrown all over the fields, and the breeze rustles in the breeze.

Locke looked at the hills in the distance, the hillside was covered with green vegetation, but there was hardly a large tree in sight. It seems that all the trees have been cut down for other purposes.

"My soldiers are on the front line, but it's not safe here." Bridget's voice rang in Locke's ears, "We still need your orders to launch a general attack, and we have only established a rudimentary line of defense on the front line to prevent the thieves of the Syndicate from wrecklessly destroying everything in this land. ”

"King's Road is not safe," said Locke, turning his head to look at Bridget, who rubbed his nose and his body jolted with his horse, "Many of the Syndicate thieves used their talents to hide in the Artemisia meadows on either side, attacking all the people and armies that passed in their path. ”

Locke looked at the grass dozens of meters away from King's Road, and then at the sides of King's Road in the distance, and he couldn't help but nod.

There are nearly fifty meters on both sides of the King's Road, and all the knee-high weeds on the land have been neatly cut off like a harvester.

"We've got a couple of harvesters from Eva and we've cut the weeds on both sides of King's Road, so it's hard for the thieves to attack us at such close range." As she spoke, Bridget pointed at the artemisia grass on the left with a horsewhip in her left hand and said, "I don't know how many people are hiding in there, and they are looking at us with fierce eyes." ”

"When we first arrived, many soldiers died on patrol. The fighting here is completely different from what we first thought. Bridget sighed helplessly, "The thieves of the Syndicate have broken down to pieces, sneaking up and strangling our lone soldiers and patrols everywhere. ”

Locke turned his head to see the lush meadows all over the hills, and he thought for a moment and said, "Burn them." ”

"Burn them?" Briggette didn't look back at Locke, she sneered and said, "I'm starting to think like you're thinking, burning them is the best solution. ”

"However, it's not that simple."

"The Hillsbrad Hills are our horse farm in Lordaeron, and there are numerous pastures and farms scattered throughout this vast area. And these grasses and other grass species that feed livestock are fodder for horses, cows, dairy sheep, pigs, and many other livestock. The civilians also needed this grass, some for their food, some for their beds, some for their houses. ”

"Even if you can burn it, can you burn all the weeds in the hills?"

"This mess gives me a headache when I think about it!" "It's not like our traditional warfare, we're full of power, but we're caught off guard by this kind of attack that looks like an ant bite. ”

Looking at the vast meadow in front of him, Locke suddenly understood why, in the history of Warcraft, the Syndicate could plague here for many years.

I didn't expect the law and order war to appear so soon.

"It seems that Clito is trying to drag us down like this," Locke said with a smile, "and these rats who can't get on the stage can only use this method." ”

"For law and order warfare, I still have..."

The sound of cooing birds suddenly sounded from the grass on both sides,

Sou! Sou! Sou!

The sound of breaking the air suddenly sounded, and Locke's words were forced into his mouth! In the grass about fifty meters away from the road on both sides, dozens of feather arrows suddenly shot out!

More than a dozen of them were heading straight for Locke, and his outfit looked too much like a big man.

"Enemy attack!"

Almost instantly, Bridget dragged Locke off his horse and hid between the two horses!

"My horse!" Regardless of the image, Locke broke free of Bridget's hand and burrowed through Lightning's belly to appear on the other side of Lightning. Here, there were already guards running over, erecting several half-length heraldic shields firmly in front of him.

The clanging sound began to ring in the ranks, and from time to time someone muffled snorts.

Leaning on the lightning behind him, Locke could feel the steady breathing of the war horse behind him, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. This horse has been with him for many years, and Locke still has a deep relationship with it.

At this time, the sound of whistles and shouts of men and horses sounded in the procession.

The shot of the arrow disappeared, and Locke removed the shield blocking him and saw that dozens of knights had already been divided into the ranks on his side, and rushed out with their rifles!

"Come back! Don't go! ”

Locke was about to say that his guards reacted quickly when he heard Bridget's anxious shout, which was obviously too late.

Locke clearly saw that the ground suddenly collapsed on the road traveled by several knights, and the war horse suddenly lost its balance and fell headfirst to the ground, and the defenseless knight flew out in an instant and fell heavily to the ground. Some knights fell off their horses and fell straight into other potholes.

The rest of the knights shouted angrily, and drove their horses around the potholes into the grass more than a man high.

"Come back! Don't chase! Can't catch up!! Bridget cried eagerly, but who could catch up with the knights?

There were only one wounded and no one died, but the knights who fell off their horses were not easy to say.

"They probably won't come back." Bridget looked in the direction of the knight who rushed into the grass, and she said to Locke in a low tone, "It's all my fault for not telling them about the situation here." ”

Locke was also smoldering, and he had nowhere to send it, so he ignored Bridget.

Soon the commander of the group arranged for several groups of soldiers to lift back the soldiers who had fallen to the ground, some with their heads twisted back at ninety degrees, and some with their arms twisted at odd angles. The soldiers who fell into the pit were pierced through the body by sharpened spears one by one, and they were basically sacrificed.

It was the first attack Locke faced since entering the Hillsbrad Hills, and it certainly wouldn't be the last, but it would certainly be the one that Locke remembers.
