Chapter 41: The Rotten Jackal
We were in a small sculled boat, which was very old and had mold in many places, but it was strong, and even Sylvanas and I tossed for a long time without a crack in the boat.
It's about the sculls, but we don't have to row the boat ourselves, there are a large number of fishmen in the water who take turns pulling the boat, which reduces a lot of burden for us, especially me, if you really want to row, I think it has to be me, the queen must not do it, and the two banshees can't row if they want to.
It wasn't long after Sylvanas and I tossed around before we sailed into a small crossing.
The fish-man went ashore and tied the cable to the wooden pier on the ferry, Sylvanas jumped lightly onto the ferry, Nicola and Octavier floated up the ferry after the queen, and as for me, it took the old nose to climb up.
I don't know what the people who built the ferry think, what is the reason why a ferry is built so high.
The old fish-man also came to us at this time and said, "My lords, the gnolls are in the castle of Fenris in the middle of the island. ”
I looked around and asked, "Is this the only island with gnolls?" ”
"Finlayson Island is a ring of four or five small islands, of which we are the most extensive, almost twice the size of the others. And this big island has the most and strongest gnolls in Fenris Castle, if you can solve the gnolls in Fenris Castle, then the gnolls of the entire Fenris Island can be taken under your command. ”
Sylvanas said, "Call out your cubs, and we'll try to take Fenris Castle before sunset." ”
The old fishman shuddered, it was already afternoon, and it was only two hours before sunset, but with such a small person, he had to do what the fishman had not done for hundreds of years, and he didn't know if this woman was arrogant or confident.
Still, the old fishman nodded his head in agreement, and in fact, he wanted to drag the gnolls into the water more than anyone else.
“amp; amp; %¥" After the old fish-man let out a long howl and shouted a word that made me blind, the fish-men in the water began to walk up to the shore of the lake one after another, and counted carefully, no more, no less, forty-nine.
Seeing that the fish-men had gathered, Sylvanas took the lead in walking towards the depths of the island, although the island was large, she still knew the specific location of Fenris Castle.
Walking on the lush vegetation of Fenris Island, I found that there were actually some places here that were infected by the plague, and there was a faint rancid smell in the air.
As I walked, I also spotted some signs of the gnolls, but they didn't seem to be as "fierce and vicious" as they had been rumored, and when they saw us, the gnolls avoided us and didn't clash with us head-on.
I don't know what the reason is, but it's definitely inseparable from the plague on the island.
After walking for about half an hour, a majestic castle appeared in front of me. From a distance, the steep towers, thick battlements, and tall gates all show the fierce edge of the castle.
Getting closer, you can see some gnolls in the cracks in the battlements, their weapons reflecting dazzling in the setting sun.
Closer, I noticed that there were many gnolls outside the castle in addition to the gnolls, but they didn't seem to be doing well.
It stands to reason that a healthy and strong gnoll should have bright fur and fierce eyes, but the gnolls under the city are like dehaired roosters, with large swaths of bare skin exposed to the air, and even some gnolls can see white bones on their elbows and ankles.
Apparently, the gnolls were divided into two groups, the healthy and strong inside the castle and the dying infected by the plague outside the castle.
The old fish-man looked at his former enemy and was in a state of sorrow, how could the fierce and strong gnolls fall into such a field? He didn't even have the courage to go out of the city to fight, leaving only some remnants of the weak army to guard the outside of the city.
Sylvanas stopped fifty meters in front of Fenris Castle and said to the old fish-men, "Do you know when they became like this? ”
The old fishman shook his head blankly and said: "I remember that when they captured Fenris Castle a month ago, they were all healthy, and the butcher knife in their hands was very powerful, and the original owner of the castle was not their opponent at all, and in less than half a day, Fenris Castle changed hands to jackals." ”
Sylvanas pondered for a moment and said, "Before the Gnolls, was there a plague on Fenris Island?" ”
The old fishman said: "No, the original owner of the castle is very concerned about his territory, and he does not allow anyone to land. ”
"So the plague was brought by the gnolls?" Sylvanas said.
"You can't be wrong."
……
While Sylvanas was talking to the old fish-man, the current owner of Fenris Castle, a tall and ugly gnoll, stood on the battlements and shouted, "Who is coming, and why is it encroaching on my territory?" ”
The old fish-man pointed to the castle house and shouted, "Tim, don't you even know your fish-man grandfather?" ”
"Humph!" The gnoll man, who was called Tim by the old fish-man, snorted coldly and said, "Old Toby, will I not know you, the fish-man who is half in the ground?" I'm asking who the lady next to you is. ”
It was only then that I learned the name of the Fish-Man Wise Man from the mouth of the Jackal.
Sylvanas looked down on the castle and said in a voice that was clear to everyone present, "I am the King of the Banshees, and Sylvanas is also." ”
"The Banshee King?" Tim had a suspicious look on his face, "The Banshee King is indeed called Sylvanas, but as far as I know, the Banshees are incorporeal, and you must be impersonating Lord Sylvanas." ”
I wondered, how could everyone know about Sylvanas's deeds, the old fishman knew, and this gnoll Tim also knew, could Sylvanas really be so famous after becoming a banshee?
Sylvanas sneered twice and said, "Even if you still have some knowledge, it's just that you probably don't know that I have regained my body!" ”
Gnoll Tim with a solemn face and regain his body? Could it be that the female demon has become more powerful again? That's bad news.
"Well, let's think you're Lord Sylvanas!" At this time, Tim's tone was a little relaxed, and he was not sure whether the people under the city were Sylvanas or not, "Then, please also ask Lord Sylvanas to inform the villain, why did you rush to my territory?" ”
Sylvanas snapped at Tim's words, and she said contemptuously, "Your territory? Which king and when did you crown you lord of Fenris? ”
Tim's face flushed, but he still said strongly: "Now that Lordaeron is destroyed, who can control us, today I have conquered Fenris Island, then, this island is mine, I am the king of this island." ”
