Chapter 173: Nanhai Town Horror.

"Good day, Lord Barrett. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Walking slowly down the street with one of the guards, he was greeted from time to time, each with an extremely sincere tone.

He nodded slightly, but the sorrow on Barrett's face could not be concealed, and he did not have the slightest sense of pride in these greetings that had been extremely useful to him in the past.

He had just returned from Baron Antonis' estate, but had not succeeded in meeting His Excellency, and the butler told him that Baron Antonis had gone to Lordaeron, and seemed to be going there to see if he could get a boat.

It was clear that there were not enough boats in the town of Nanhai, and the news worried Barrett, who were now congregating outside the town and whose finances were already strained by the growing number of refugees.

Barrett knows very well that if there is a problem with his funds and he can't feed them, then these refugees who respect him will instantly turn into hungry thugs.

They will stop at nothing to find food, and anyone who tries to stop them will be torn apart.

The only way he can now is to provide for these refugees until the ships that transport them arrive, and the only thing he can do is to collect donations when the funds are insufficient.

However, since the beginning of the distribution of food, he has received assistance from the nobles twice, and more and more refugees have gathered, which has caused the security of Nanhai Town to drop sharply, which not only affects the daily life of the people of Nanhai Town, but also disturbs the nobles, so the nobles have some complaints about him taking in refugees but not restraining them, which is why he will send most of the legion guards to maintain law and order.

He believed that if he reached out to these greedy nobles to ask for money, perhaps some nobles of noble character would give some help to their reputation, but it would definitely not be much, and at the same time, it would also consume the few friendships with the nobles. At that time, he will have the same fate as the soldiers who raised funds at the banquet in the first place!

"Lord Barrett!" Just as Barrett was walking aimlessly through the streets in a worried state, a high-pitched voice woke him up.

A tall, well-armed legionary guard ran quickly towards him, and the passers-by were a little frightened at the sight of the majestic guard, and they all avoided the running guard, showing uneasy expressions.

"What's the matter?" Barrett was a little displeased, although the townspeople of Nanhai Town still respected him now, but the large number of refugees had already disturbed them, and the guard's actions at this time would undoubtedly reduce his prestige among the townspeople again.

"Your Excellency!" The Legion Guard stopped in front of Barrett and whispered in his ear with a slight gasp.

"What!" Hearing the words of thought, Barrett, who has always been unfazed and abiding by interests, actually screamed.

"Let's go back to the hotel first!" The many townspeople around him looked at him strangely, which made the old man calm down a little, he pretended to be silent for a while, but in fact observed the surrounding environment, and finally nodded to the legion guard who reported the news, and hurried towards the hotel.

Somewhere he didn't see, in a dark corner, a man in an ordinary linen coat disappeared silently into the dirty, narrow alley as if he were an ordinary passer-by as they had just left.

"Where's the messenger?" As soon as he returned to the inn, Barrett saw several legion guards guarding the lobby of the tavern, quietly relieved, and asked hurriedly.

"Upstairs." A legion guard stepped forward and said, and without further delay he led Barrett up to the second floor of the inn, pushed open a door, and stood aside.

Glancing at the Legion Guard, Barrett nodded and walked into the room, where a man with some blood on his body and bandages was lying on the boat, with a soldier by his side taking care of him.

"My lord......" Seeing Barrett come in, the man lying on the bed stretched out a hand and whispered softly.

"Warrior, what's your name?" After taking two quick steps to the bedside, Barrett grabbed the man's hand, looked at his chapped and blue lips and asked softly.

"Anru, my lord. Ahem, cough, cough ......" Anlu was extremely weak, he coughed as soon as he finished speaking, and as he coughed, the blood marks on the strap gradually spread. The soldier who took care of him hurriedly picked up the cup in his hand and handed it to his lips.

"My lord, cough cough cough, hurry up, hurry back to the western wilderness, cough cough ......" Anlu pushed away the water glass, he said a little eagerly, as if he had regained some strength, he pushed Barrett hard: "The Storm Kingdom will definitely be bad for you, His Majesty the King told me, I must let you go back quickly......"

As he spoke, Anlu's voice became smaller and smaller, and a rough woolen blanket slipped from the side of the bed, along with Anlu's strong hand.

There was silence in the room, and Barrett looked at Baru, who had already breathed his last breath but was still looking at him with angry eyes, sighed softly, and reached out to close his eyes.

"He's a warrior." The soldier who had been by Anlu's side said: "After receiving the order, he and other companions, a total of ten people, rode a griffin straight to Nanhai Town, and encountered the orc red dragon in the wetland, only two of us escaped, and he was torn in the chest by the red dragon's claws to cover me. ”

"Why don't you use a merchant ship to deliver letters? Instead, it flew over the most dangerous wetlands! Barrett picked up the blanket from the ground and covered Anru.

"Goblins have joined the orcs."

The soldier's brief answer made Barrett suddenly realize, and he suddenly understood why the usual stream of goblin merchants had disappeared en masse recently, and it was obvious that the goblin merchant ships had gone to help the orcs fight!

"What's your name?" Barrett asked suddenly.

"Andrei, my lord."

Barrett patted Andre on the shoulder and said, "Go and rest for a while, I'll have someone give Anlu a decent funeral." ”

"You must get out of here, my lord!" Andrei said with a frown, his expression a little excited: "You are in danger, we don't know how many assassins are lurking in the enemy, you must get out of here immediately!" ”

"Relax, Andrey." Barrett comforted the emotional soldier and said with a smile, "This is Nanhai Town, could it be that the Stormwind Kingdom will assassinate me here?" ”

"They all dare to assassinate His Majesty in public!" Andrei said in a firm tone.

Barrett was silent for a moment, to be honest he didn't want to leave now, he was reluctant to let the large number of refugees outside Nanhai Town, he wanted to bring these refugees, as well as those little nobles, back to the western wilderness.

"Stop, what are you!" Just as Barrett was about to speak, the voice of the Legion Guard, who was guarding the door, was heard.

"My lord, the meal you ordered." Another woman's voice came, and Barrett felt a little strange, he had lived here for a long time, and the waiters here were familiar to him.

"We didn't, ah......" The Legion Guard was about to let the waiter leave, when suddenly the dagger was drawn by the waiter and stabbed into his chest!
