Chapter 20: News from the Skull-Crushing Tribe

After seeing Carl, Zhang Hao went home and began to pack his bags, this time without taking troops, only Croze, Teucer, Bini and Lilith followed. The goal is the city of Nunn, which is about a dozen days away.

Tarabeheim is the size of three or four Hawk provinces, with a large population, and with Marshal Rick personally sitting there, it is impossible to take Talabeheim in a short time. And the troops of the disappeared Nord Province, plus the Midan Province also has four full formations, if they take Aldolph directly, then Karl is also very dangerous, it seems that the Tokbollinger family in Midan Province also knows that they can't afford to delay it at all now, and the empire is like getting on a high-speed train after taking Marienburg, and quickly recovers its strength.

The Beastmen are not the green-skinned orcs of the southernmost side who fight the dwarves for territory every day, but the descendants of the Chaos who call themselves the Hoofed Ones, a group of neighing beasts with sheep's heads and bull's heads, who often raid mercenary nations in the southwest, Bretonnia and the Elven Forest, with the sole goal of erasing the traces of civilization and destroying everything in sight.

Zhang Hao and others went all the way south, and after resting for a day in Glenburg, they entered the range of Wieson Province, and the further they went, the fewer and fewer people there were, and the houses and villages along the way were basically empty, and many villages were even burned to the ground.

The group rode slowly on a path with a relatively open view towards the city of Nunn.

"Your Highness, the situation in Wisson Province is even more serious than we thought," Bini felt a little heavy.

"Yes, Your Highness, we haven't even seen a corpse along the way, so let's just say that it should be food, and it can't be so clean."

"Teucer, shut up and stop asking questions like that!" Apparently Lilith was extremely disgusted by this kind of thing.

Looking at the devastated village, Zhang Hao was also deeply worried, he never doubted the intelligence and strength of these legendary lords who were once called in the game. Whether it is a vampire with a thousand-year-old wisdom, or the Tok Bollinger family, who is as cunning as a wolf, Zhang Hao didn't take much advantage of them at all, and his strength was not enough, he was crushed.

"If the Beastmen and Skarsnik are besieging Nunn, who are they who are raiding these villages near Rick Province?"

"Didn't they send troops to sweep the city after the siege?" Lilith was a little puzzled, except for the dwarves in the entire Wesson Province, only the goblin Evil Moon was here, and the beastmen also came in a big circle.

"I firmly believe that the gun academy in Nunn City definitely has enough artillery, but to make the Lipowitz family, who have many cannons, retreat into the city, it can only mean that there are very many troops besieging the city, and judging from the time of Master Martin's call for help and the extent to which these villages are burned, it should basically be carried out at about the same time, either Skarsnik has enough troops, or there is still a force around to loot the fire."

Bini pondered for a moment and asked, "Your Highness, why can't it be a beastman?" ”

"The beastmen are at war with the three forces all year round, it is impossible to have so many people, and besides, they are constantly on the move, there is no fixed base at all, and it is useless to have so many people. So if they really did it, then the corpses will be all over the place."

"But......" Lilith was about to ask something more, but Croze, who had been unable to speak by her side, suddenly became alert, and the sword in her hand was already unsheathed. The others also immediately stopped their horses and made a vigilant posture, slowing down their breathing and listening carefully to the movements around them."

"Beasts?" Lilith asked softly.

"No, it's supposed to be a wild dog, and a child's voice?!" Zhang Hao was a little unsure, after all, the child's voice was too small.

Everyone listened carefully for a while, and Kroze nodded fiercely at Zhang Hao.

"Help!" Zhang Hao rushed out first, and the rest of the people followed.

Beyond a hillside, on the side of the main road, not far from the nearby burned village, there was a building with a red roof and white walls, which looked like a small warehouse.

At this time, several wild dogs were barking at the main entrance of the house, and from time to time they went up and scratched the main entrance that was already full of traces, and several dogs kept looking around the house for a place to enter, and the frightened barking of children could be faintly heard in the house.

"Now wild dogs are so fierce?" Teucer couldn't figure it out, the world was chaotic enough, what do you say you dogs are making a fuss.

"Don't talk nonsense, save people!" Lilith is obviously just as saver as Zhang Hao.

Of course, a few wild dogs are still a matter of minutes, even if they are fierce, they can't be as fierce as Isabella.

"Children, the wild dogs are all dead, open the door, it's safe." Zhang Hao knocked on the door gently, and his tone was extremely gentle.

"You, who are you?" A little boy asked in a slightly nervous tone.

"We're here from Rick Province to rescue Nunn City, look, this is the griffin badge of the Imperial Army, you should recognize it" Zhang Hao squatted down and displayed the badge between the doors.

I saw a small head leaning against the crack in the door with slightly frightened eyes.

"Yes, it's the insignia of the army, I've seen it on Uncle Chuck, but his is more beautiful, with gold edges!" After reading it, the little boy quickly left the door and said excitedly towards the warehouse.

"What if it's a bad guy pretending?" A little girl's voice asked the little boy with some uneasiness.

"So, then I'll ask again?"

"I'll ask!" Another little boy's voice.

Little steps quickly came to the door, "Are you bad people?" ”

Zhang Hao and the others all smiled, "Of course not, the bad guys don't have the patience we have, you know, this door can't trap us at all." ”

"Open the door, the bad guys have come in early" The little girl also came to the door.

"Then I'll really open it," the little boy hesitated.

"Open" The two children said in unison.

In the end, the door opened little by little, and three children who were four or five years old and not yet Zhang Hao's leg height stood timidly at the door and watched everyone.

Lilith trotted up first, causing the children to keep backing up.

"Don't be afraid, little darling, you're hungry, sister, there's food here," Lilith took out the bread from the ring and quickly handed it to the children.

When the children saw the food in their hands, they instantly relaxed their vigilance and ate hard, completely ignoring the strange strange Shu Huang and the aunts.

Zhang Hao looked at the sky that was already a little drowsy, "Let's rest here for one night today, and Teucer will go and set up some traps around to be vigilant."

After finally determining that there was no danger, everyone lit a bonfire at night, sat together and chatted, the three children were children from the surrounding villages, when the village was destroyed, the three children picked mushrooms and fruits in the nearby mountains to escape, from the content of the conversation, it was learned that there were orcs and goblins who attacked the village, and the white skull flag was seen in the distance, Zhang Hao understood when he heard it, this is a group of mobile green-skinned orcs cranial tribe, in the early stage of the game, they will raid Aldolph from the direction of Marienburg or Midan Province, causing more serious trouble to the player, But as long as the city can basically win, Zhang Hao forgot about them and didn't want to run to Weisen Province.

At night, Zhang Hao's three men took turns to keep vigil and spent a peaceful night.

"Children, you just walk towards the place where the sun rises, whether it is to Glenberg or Coppebard, it is safe" Lilith took out a large handful of gold coins and was about to stuff them into the children, but Zhang Hao stopped her.

"It's better to give money than food" Zhang Hao understands that this handful of gold coins is enough to kill a few little guys, even if the Sigma Sect begins to develop, but the depravity value is still as high as eighty percent Let Zhang Hao understand that giving gold coins is tantamount to sending them to death.

In the end, under the thanks of the children, everyone continued on the road with a heavy heart, the stability of the country can make this kind of thing happen again, the war should let the children and women leave, maybe only when Zhang Hao is stronger can do this kind of thing.
