Chapter 125: The Breath of Approaching War
Things are far more troublesome than Song Zheng thought.
Originally, he thought that the attack on Tarunmere was just a way for Edres Blackmore to save himself, but now it seems that the Church of the Damned is trying to forcibly occupy Tarunmere!
"Are those guys crazy? Or rather...... Has the Church of the Damned officially begun the action? A chill surged in Song Zheng's heart.
As an important city in the south of Lordaeron, Tarunmere will definitely cause a great shock once it is lost, and even immediately expose all the intentions of the Cursed Church, and now that guy named Owen dares to attack Talenmere head-on, it undoubtedly shows that he is no longer worried about the exposure of the Cursed Church.
However, judging from the fact that it sent syndicate thieves to block the road to the royal capital of Lordaeron, the people of the Church of the Curse still did not dare to face the army of the entire royal palace of Lordaeron, so they disguised themselves as orcs to attack Tarunmere, and even revealed the news to the royal capital of Lordaeron that the orcs had been repelled and Tarunmir was already in a safe state.
"I don't know what happened to Talummir now, those nobles don't look like they can hold on......"
Song Zheng recalled what he had seen and heard in Talenmere before, and those nobles had no combat power at all.
In particular, the troops led by Kevin and other nobles were attacked in the area of Mount Daron last time, which caused the cavalry of Talummere to be almost completely lost, which greatly weakened Talummere's garrison ability.
Song Zheng didn't care about the life or death of those nobles, only Karen had something to do with him among Talenmir, after all, he was warmly received by Karen and gave him a lot of good things.
But now he couldn't even help if he wanted to, and it would be days before he could get to Talenmere and cross the snow-covered Alterac Mountains.
In contrast, he was more worried about Bridget, and if her troops accidentally encountered the Church of the Damned, it would be very dangerous.
"I hope that stupid girl isn't too impulsive......" Song Zheng looked up at the towering snow-capped mountains in the distance, he could only pray that Bridget and her party would be safe and sound, and it was better not to get close to Talenmere.
When night fell, Song Zheng had already led Catherine into the Alterac Mountains.
However, he did not travel overnight, in addition to being easily attacked by syndicate thieves in this mountain forest, he also needed a good rest after a big battle during the day.
"We'll rest here for the night, and we'll continue our journey tomorrow, this Alterac Mountains is the territory of syndicate thieves, we killed so many of them during the day, those guys will definitely not rest on their laurels, I'm afraid someone will come and attack us tonight." Song Zheng found a suitable camping location in the mountains and forests, and then began to lay some simple traps around.
Catherine was very obedient and handed him a branch or a rope, but the little frost wolf, as soon as he entered the forest, plunged happily into the surrounding bushes, and after a while he ran out with a fat hare of his size.
Song Zheng had seen the combat power of the frost wolf at the beginning, and there was almost no pressure for the frost wolf to kill ordinary human warriors alone, so he was not surprised by the hunting ability of this frost wolf cub.
Catherine, on the contrary, immediately took the hare with a smile, and then began to peel the hare's fur and prepare for the fire to roast the meat, and outside of the battle, she behaved exactly like a normal girl.
"This rabbit isn't enough for us to eat, so let's catch a big one." Song Zheng waved his hand, and the little frost wolf immediately rushed into the bushes again like an arrow as if he understood.
The sound of battle and the howl of wolves soon sounded in the jungle, and when Song Zheng rushed over in some surprise, he saw that the little frost wolf was actually biting a wild wolf and dragging it back.
Seeing that the size of the wild wolf was at least nearly a hundred catties, far exceeding the size of the little frost wolf, but it was still hunted by the little frost wolf.
"There are really two hits...... the corners of Song Zheng's eyes jumped, you must know that when he first came to this world, it was extremely difficult to kill a wolf head-on.
Catherine looked overjoyed when she saw the wolf's carcass, and immediately began to dispose of the wolf's flesh again.
However, when the rabbit meat and wolf meat were roasted, Song Zheng soon discovered another 'powerful' aspect of Catherine...... She actually killed the ten-pound hare alone.
"It's so delicious...... However, today's battle is quite fierce, and it is true that you need to eat more. Song Zheng immediately handed over the freshly roasted wolf meat again.
However, when most of the meat of the nearly 100-pound wild wolf entered her stomach, the thin-looking girl still licked her greasy lips and stared excitedly at the few barbecued meat left in the fire.
"You haven't eaten yet? Isn't that scientific...... The meat you eat is almost more than your weight, so where is all that meat hidden? Song Zheng looked the girl in front of her up and down suspiciously, but the result was that she hurriedly blushed and lowered her head.
Her shy and introverted appearance made it impossible to relate to the dozens of syndicate thieves she had slain before.
"I'm just kidding, you can eat whatever you want." Song Zheng smiled, and then asked with some curiosity: "Are you from Lordarenun?" What about your parents? ”
In the current human kingdom, Catherine is definitely a master, especially since she is still young, as Agatha said, she does have an excellent talent for fighting, but for some reason she follows a group of warlocks, and is even used as a thief.
"I ...... No parents......" Catherine's voice was low, but she couldn't hear any emotion, as if she didn't care much about it anymore.
"I'm really sorry......" Song Zheng said apologetically.
But maybe that's why she had no one to take care of her, and she mingled with a bunch of warlocks.
When all the wolf meat was eaten, the night was already dark, and only the little frost wolf silver bottle was still excitedly gnawing on the meat and bones.
Fearing a sneak attack by syndicate thieves, Song Zheng was ready to take turns resting, but Catherine insisted on keeping vigil by herself.
Although Song Zheng believed that with her strength, there should not be any cases where she was too tired and fell asleep and was attacked, he still woke up twice at night, and continued to sleep only after finding that nothing had happened.
It was dark and bright, and Song Zheng woke up to find that none of the traps around him for early warning had been triggered.
"It's really strange that those syndicate thieves who are eager to take revenge didn't come to attack us, can't it be that we were killed yesterday......" Song Zheng thought secretly in his heart.
However, he soon thought of another possibility...... The syndicate thieves have clearly colluded with the Church of the Damned, and it is likely that the main force of the syndicate thieves has also been arranged to attack Tarummere!
