"Damn ......"

Marlon couldn't help but curse - not against De Jong, but he didn't think that the corpses of the orcs and the graves of humans could escape the eyes of the orc army. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Once those orc armies discover the disappearance of their companions, they will most likely find the traces left by De Jong and the others, and they will inevitably intensify their search for the area around the edge of the Red Ridge Mountains, and may therefore go deeper into the Twilight Forest.

"Do you want revenge?"

Ma Long forced himself to calm down, and looking at De Jong in front of him, he suddenly asked.

"Waste...... Absolutely. ”

De Jong originally planned to curse, but he still didn't want to provoke Malone further after all, so he swallowed the words back to his lips and simply replied.

"I can give you weapons and armor, and I can let you fight orcs, but not now...... I know you're in a hurry, but if you die at the hands of the orcs, there's really no one to avenge your loved ones. If you believe me, just wait, and soon, we'll be on track. ”

Marlon nodded and said to De Jong sincerely.

"I ...... Are you really Marshal Lothar's nephew? ”

De Jong wanted to refuse, but in the end he hesitated, and then asked hesitantly.

"Of course."

Marlon nodded—in this realm, the prestige of the Lothar family was almost equal to that of the Ureon family, and no one dared to pretend to be a member of the Lothar family.

"You promise?"

De Jong asked, a little uneasy.

"I promise."

Once again, Malone said sincerely - De Jong's experience was bad enough, and Malone certainly didn't want to see him die again; Regardless, it's safe to stay in Nightshade for the time being.

"Well, I believe you...... Marshal Lothar's nephew would not joke about such a thing. ”

De Jong glanced back at Maria again, then wiped the corners of his eyes, shook his head, and said.

"Do you know my uncle?"

Malone asked with some surprise.

"I don't know, but my father does. When he was young, he was once conscripted under Marshal Lothar, and followed him to exterminate a group of bandits, my father...... I've been talking to my brothers about it. ”

De Jong said in a nostalgic tone.

"That's ...... so"

Malone nodded in surprise - he had known that Anduin Lothar's old days were all the garrisons in the Stormwind army, but he didn't expect that there was also the old department of this marshal in the militia system.

"So, Sir Lothar, what is your plan? How many fighters do you have? Is it enough to attack the orcs? ”

De Jong asked—though he didn't have much hope on the subject—even Stormwind had been captured, so how could the rest of them launch a counterattack against the orcs?

But De Jong had his own considerations - he didn't expect humans to defeat orcs - he just wanted to kill as many green-skinned crumbs as he could; Meanwhile...... Protect children like Mary from being ...... with their daughters Angela's fate.

"We only have a hundred soldiers, and we can't stand up to those orcs head-on...... I do have a plan, though. Come with me, Mr. de Jong, there are some things we need to discuss. ”

Malone nodded at De Jong and motioned for him to follow.

"Call me De Jong, I'm just a militiaman, a farmer, not a 'sir'."

De Jong said as he followed Malone and walked towards the town hall.

……

"That's what it is...... Sir Lothar, your plan? ”

Al Ro Eberlock asked in surprise as he sat at the table, looking at the young man in front of him.

"That's right, for some time now, we didn't know anything about the orcs' movements, which is a dangerous sign. If you want to change this, you have to take the initiative. ”

Marlon sat across from Elo Eberlock, the bearded Richard and De Jong, the leader of the Lakeside refugees, in the room, and Althea sat in the corner with little Maria in her arms - because Vera was busy preparing food for the Lakeside refugees and didn't have time to take care of the little girl, so Marlon and Althea took her to the town hall - and Maria was always well-behaved and sensible anyway, and didn't make a big fuss.

"No, it's too dangerous."

Erro Eberlock shook his head repeatedly—in contrast, the bearded Richard and De Jong looked excited, looking interested in Malone's proposal.

"We're not going too far from the Twilight Forest. According to De Jong, just a few weeks ago, the orcs were still hanging around Red Ridge Mountain. If I take some people there, I might be able to run into lone orcs. As long as we can capture one or two captives, we can ask about the movements of the orc army, which is important for the safety of our town. ”

Malone explained to Elo Eberlock.

"If it's just a lone orc, I'm sure of your strength, Sir Lothar...... But what if you encounter an orc army? Besides, even if we can really catch orc captives, how are we going to interrogate them? ”

Elo Eberlock asked rhetorically—his intuition told him that humans and orcs should speak two different languages.

"I can speak orc."

Malone said - the skill called "Arcane Language" that was selected in that damn system was so useful.

"Anyway, I still don't agree. Sir Lothar, you must understand that the safety of this town cannot be separated from you, in case something happens to you......"

Ero Eberlock looked a little angry, and he glanced at Althea, who was sitting in the corner, worried but silent.

Nightshade aside, Elo Eberlock was a father after all, and he didn't want to see his daughter so worried.

"Daddy Elo, I know you're worried about our safety, but...... Trust me, we don't have much time left. ”

Malone said sincerely.

"We're hiding here, and the orcs won't find us."

Elo Eberlock felt that Malone was a bit alarmist.

"Lakeside is also a remote place, Daddy Ellro. Even those who escaped from Stormwind had never been to Lakeside, and the orcs could have gone north without passing through it, but in the end, it was still ...... I don't know if the orcs need to find supplies, or if they just want to kill all the humans in this land, but we must be prepared until the day comes when we encounter them, and we must not be ignorant of them. ”

Malone raised his voice and said.

"If you insist...... But remember, Sir Lothar - must come back safely. ”

Elo Eberlock was silent for a long time, and he finally realized that he had no way to convince Ma Long, who had already made up his mind, so he could only sigh and admonish seriously.
