26 The wolves are coming

"I hope so......"

Malone shook his head, Elo Eberlock's words didn't dispel his doubts, but he didn't have a clue about this eerie tranquility. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"Althea, did last night's vigil go well? Didn't cause Sir Lothar any trouble, did you? ”

Elo Eberlock put down his wooden bowl and asked his daughter with a smile.

"I didn't ...... There is no ......"

Althea lowered her head in a panic - for this girl, waking up to find herself on her sweetheart's lap was a thing that made her heart beat faster and more distressed.

Seeing his daughter's appearance, Elo Eberlock couldn't help but smile slightly—as a person who had come over, he certainly saw Althea's affection for Marlon.

Elo Eberlock also admired Marlon, believing that the young Sir Lothar had fully inherited the virtues of his uncle and was a truly brave and noble nobleman and knight.

Elo Eberlock didn't mind his daughter's pursuit of this love, as for other things...... In the current situation, enjoying every day of life is already the greatest luxury, so what is the future?

……

After breakfast, Ma Long, together with the soldiers of the Xiquan garrison, helped the refugees in the camp pack their bags, and then set out on the road to Night Town again.

Althea has become a lot more silent since the morning, and Malone doesn't know the specific reason, but after Althea stopped pestering herself to ask questions, Malone was really a little lonely.

Fortunately, this loneliness didn't last long; And unfortunately......

"Whew~"

Not long after leaving the site of last night's camp, a high-pitched howl suddenly sounded around the group of refugees marching on the edge of the twilight forest.

Some of the refugees stopped, staring around blankly, trying to find the source of the sound; Some of the more knowledgeable refugees turned pale in an instant.

"Wolves?"

Malone stopped abruptly and looked around in surprise.

"The Light ...... above"

Elo Eberlock muttered, and sped to the front of the group.

"Everybody huddle, hurry! The old man and the child are in the middle, the man is on the periphery, quick! Fast! ”

In order to make his orders more clear to the ears of the refugees, the bearded Richard jumped into one of the large cars in the refugee procession, waving his hands and shouting loudly.

"Paul, tell everyone to line up, and get their crossbows ready, and the fight will begin in a moment...... Don't skimp on your crossbow arrows! ”

Malone said to Paul with a serious face.

"Yes, Chief Lothar!"

The Xiquan garrison, led by Paul and Robin, was ready to fight, their spears in their hands and the crossbows on their waists shining with sharp and dangerous light.

You can't blame Malone and Elo Eberlock and others for overreacting, for the current refugee team, the threat from wolves is no less than a team of orcs.

In the territory of the Stormwind Kingdom, wolves have always been a threat to the lives of civilians, whether in the Wild West, the Elwyn Forest, or the Twilight Forest, these hordes of beasts will eat all the creatures they can hunt, including humans and other races.

"Woo~Woo~"

Perhaps because of the dim light in the twilight forest, the wolves rarely began to move in broad daylight, and soon there was a wave of wolf howls around the refugee team.

"Mom!"

Mary snuggled up in Vera's arms, screaming; For a little girl, she has never heard stories about wolves since she was a child, and that fear is almost like her growth.

"Baby, don't be afraid, don't be afraid, Mommy is here ......"

Vera huddled behind the wheel of a large cart with her daughter in her arms; The terrible howl of the wolf made the young mother equally afraid, but she had to be brave in front of her daughter.

"Sir Lothar......"

Passing through the somewhat chaotic crowd, Vera's gaze was cast on the heroic and upright back; Seeing that Ma Long was directing the soldiers of the Xiquan garrison to sit on guard with their baggage as a cover, Vera's heart also relaxed a little.

With Sir Lothar here, everyone and Mary will be fine!

- Vera told herself.

If Malone knew that Vera trusted him like this, he would have felt guilty; Because for what is about to happen next, Malone himself has little confidence.

Although not a single wolf had yet appeared in his field of vision, Malone could already make out the slight footsteps and the sound of violent gasps from the howls of the wolves—the trumpets before the wolves attacked.

"I'm afraid there are hundreds of wolves, and there may be more......"

Paul stood nervously beside Malone and whispered.

"No wonder there was no movement last night, it turned out to be ......"

Robin said angrily, spitting on the ground.

Malone was silent, and like Robin, he only now remembered why last night had been so peaceful.

Although I don't know if there are any other beasts in the Twilight Forest, there is no doubt that there will be a division of territory between these beasts.

Apparently I don't know when it started yesterday, Marlon and this team of refugees have already entered the territory of this group of wolves, which can also explain why they have not seen other beasts.

As for why the wolves didn't attack last night, Malone doesn't know very well, but there are just some guesses.

Perhaps because it was still on the border of the wolf pack's territory, neither the wolves nor the other beasts, most likely a large wave of spiders, did not attack the camp because they were afraid of each other.

And when the refugee camp is completely into the territory of the wolves, and the security that the fragile balance maintains, the wolves choose to attack - anyway, in the twilight forest, there is no difference between day and night, is it?

Finally, in the midst of the howling of wolves all over the mountains, this terrible beast finally revealed itself through the gap in the woods; Giant wolves, gray or black, bared their fangs and claws from the thick trunks and low shrub slits of the twilight forest towards the panicked ranks of refugees.

Malone never imagined that a wolf pack could be composed of a variety of wolves with different coat colors; He never imagined that the world of Azeroth, or the wolves in the Twilight Forest, could be so huge!

On Earth, the wolf on the steppe is nothing more than a meter long; But these giant wolves in front of Ma Long can grow to more than two meters in length, and there are even a few "big guys" with a length of nearly three meters.
