readx;?“ Tiffany, there...... Isn't it Lakeside Town? ”
Malone turned his head and pointed to the front to Tiffany and asked. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
"Hmm...... Let me see ......"
Tiffany walked up to Malone, stood side by side with him, and looked into the distance.
In front of the river, a large area of sparkling blue waves, like a giant mirror, is embedded in the mountain basin surrounded by the Red Ridge Mountains.
The mountain wind brought waves, and from the position of Tiffany and Malone, the lake was still very small.
However, Tiffany knew that this was due to the distance, and by the time they had passed through the large clearing in front of them, they would be able to reach the largest lake in the entire kingdom of Azeroth.
"That's right, this is the Stop Lake!"
Tiffany said excitedly, then looked further away.
In the southwest corner of Zhishui Lake, you can see the blue-roofed and white-tiled houses, which is exactly Tiffany's familiar, human architectural style.
"Is that Lakeside Town? Well, if we speed things up a bit, we might be able to get there in half a day! When the time comes, maybe we'll be able to find something to eat there, so Tiffany you won't have to put up with the nasty roast I made. ”
Malone said to Tiffany.
"Hmmm! No...... No, Mr. Malone, I mean ......"
Tiffany nodded repeatedly, then blushed, trying to explain something to Malone.
Despite the fact that the half-cooked barbecue cooked by Marlon without salt and other condiments was unpalatable, Tiffany still insisted on eating it for the past few days.
Tiffany herself wondered why Richard couldn't eat any of the roast meat they made by killing the horses, which seemed to be better than that of Mr. Marlon.
As she pondered over this complicated question, Tiffany stumbled forward as she stumbled forward with Marlon, tugging at her ill-fitting boots.
Malone's estimation was still a little wrong, in fact, most of the day had passed by Marlon and Tiffany when they reached the edge of Lakeside Town, through the vast clearing on the shore of the lake, through the gaps between the rocks, and through the patches of apparently cut down forests.
The first thing that caught Ma Long's vision was a large field of land. The neat ditches were supposed to be lush with crops, but now there was only a mess.
Many agricultural crops that Malone didn't recognize by name had their stalks broken and then appeared to have been trampled into fertile soil.
Malone also saw half a yellow pumpkin, the other side had been broken, and a few sparrows were chirping on the thick skin of the pumpkin, pecking at the dried flesh and seeds in it.
Hearing the footsteps of Malone and Tiffany, the sparrows flew away, and of course their fat bodies couldn't fly far.
If there were a few little human boys here, they would have used homemade slingshots to knock down these sparrows and roast them, but ......
"Mr. Malone, ...... here"
Tiffany said to Malone with some sadness.
"Hmm."
Marlon nodded, as expected, Lakeside Town has also been purged by the orcs, and those who live here should have ......
With mixed feelings, Marlon took Tiffany through the outer fields and corrals towards the center of Lakeside Town.
The soil of Red Ridge Mountain had always been red, but Malone noticed that the soil in Lakeside Town seemed to be darker at his feet.
Malone quickly understood why, as he saw several humans.
Several human corpses, to be exact.
Five humans dressed in chain mail made of small iron rings fell in front of Marlon, the same place where they had just stepped into Lakeside Town.
Around them, there were spears that had been broken into two parts, as well as a few one-handed swords that were much smaller than Ma Long's two-handed swords, and a few broken shields.
It was clear that these people were the guards of Lakeside Town, and the ...... who killed them
Malone noticed the corpse of one of the humans lying on his back, his flesh already rotting, and the most decomposed part of the corpse was in his chest.
The chainmail made of iron rings did not take on its own effect, and a large, jagged tear wound suddenly appeared, and several flies flew near the wound, making a subtle buzzing sound.
"Woo ......"
Tiffany sadly grabbed Marlon's hand—something that seemed to have become a girl's habitual move.
"Tiffany, you better stop watching......"
Malone shook his head, then patted the back of Tiffany's hand.
Although she was able to accept the scene of Malone dismembering the short-eared deer, Tiffany still shed tears of sadness when she saw her compatriots in a different place and a violent corpse in the wilderness.
"Those orcs, Mr. Malone, those orcs, woo ......"
Tiffany grabbed Marlon's hand tightly and cried helplessly.
The tragic situation in front of her certainly made the girl sad, but what made her even more sad was that she remembered the city of Stormwind, where her parents were.
Lakeside Town has become like this, so how will Storm Chen, the first to be captured by the orcs, be sacked?
In this catastrophe, how many of those people I know can be spared? Will your parents be able to successfully catch the boat that left them?
Tiffany, who had been optimistic about these things, couldn't help but worry when she saw this.
"They're heroic, Stormwind...... Will remember their names. ”
Malone hesitated for a moment, then said softly.
Marlon didn't know how many orcs had come to the town, but these guards, who fought bloody battles against the invaders to protect the townspeople, felt that they deserved his respect.
Looking around, Malone found more traces of the orc invasion.
Most of the houses in the distance showed signs of being burned, and many of the houses had charred bodies exposed at the doors, and it was clear that these were the residents of Lakeside Town.
With a sobbing Tiffany, she walked around Lakeside Town, and Marlon didn't see a single living person except for corpses.
Marlon couldn't remember how many corpses he had seen, maybe hundreds, maybe thousands, all in all, such a number of humans were abandoned in the towns where they once lived.
Whether it's a woman, an old man, or a child...... The orcs did not spare anyone, especially the women, whose disheveled clothes and mostly naked/exposed bodies showed that they had experienced more than just the pain of death before they died.
Ma Long originally had the intention of burning these corpses, but in the face of this situation, he could not do anything, at least maybe let these people be buried in peace. (To be continued.) )
