The corpse of the huge ogre was fading away behind the group. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Bright red blood still trickled from the massive wound inflicted by the two-handed sword, submerged into the crimson soil beneath the ogre, and disappeared without a trace.

Even Malone didn't know the name of the ogre.

However, no one cares about that, just as the orcs don't care about the names of the citizens of Stormwind and Lakeside who they killed, humiliated, and pillaged.

Once a war begins, both sides, whether they are aggressors or invaded, will turn into terrible monsters that they themselves do not recognize.

As he walked south along the main road, Malone asked Althea and Robin about what they called the "survivor's camp".

To Ma Long's surprise, the scale of this camp was much larger than he had imagined.

According to Althea, their camp was across the edge of the Red Ridge foothills, further south.

Most of the refugees in the camp come from Elwyn Forest, Stormwind, and the southern foothills of Red Ridge Mountain.

Althea also proudly told Marlon that the total number of refugees who had taken refuge in the camp was 312.

"Now, counting you and Ms. Tiffany, Mr. Marlon, we have three hundred and fourteen people in total!"

Althea struggled to hold Paul and said to Marlon - it was hard for her to remember such numbers.

But it's no wonder, because Althea's father, who is also Paul's father-in-law, is the leader of the camp elected by the refugees.

On the one hand, Malone was surprised by what Althea had said, but he quickly accepted the fact.

Anyway, there is no need for Althea and Robin to deceive Malone for such a thing, and Malone also feels that it is completely feasible.

Marlon knew that the orcs had taken Stormwind by trickery, and they couldn't even stop Anduin Lothar from leaving the harbor with some of the inhabitants of Stormwind.

Compared to the number of humans, the number of orcs is still too small; Such a number is even more inadequate in the vast southern part of the continent.

What's more, the orcs' main strategic targets at the moment are several human kingdoms in the north, the Quel's kingdom of the High Elves, and the dwarves, and it is impossible for them to sweep the entire southern part of the continent with too many troops.

This also means that as long as they are not on this orc march route from the Cursed Lands to Stormwind City, the humans in the southern part of the continent have a good chance of surviving.

Of course, the civilians had little chance of surviving the small group of orc convoys, and Althea also said that because most of the men were enlisted in Stormwind, most of the camps were old people, women, and children who had escaped.

Even if the orcs ignore these remaining human strongholds in the southern part of the continent, Malone knows that every time such a stronghold grows, the more likely it is that the orcs will find and clear it.

I don't know if Althea's father has thought about this issue, but Malone knows that this is not something that is convenient for him to interject about now.

Of course, it's not just Althea who is telling about what happened in the camp, Tiffany also talks a lot about what happened to her and Marlon in the orc camp.

At first, the girl just obediently followed Marlon, but as Marlon and Althea talked for longer and longer, Tiffany's beautiful face became more and more strange.

Soon, Tiffany began to interject in the conversation between Marlon and Althea, and I don't know if it was Marlon's delusion, the girl seemed to be fighting with Althea for something.

Whenever Althea spoke, Tiffany was quick to talk about the orc camp, and Althea was so interested in these things that she naturally gave up on what she wanted to talk about.

Ma Long felt very helpless about this, he didn't want to tell Althea and the others too much about what happened before, because he knew that the more he talked, the more doubts he would have.

However, Malone couldn't stop Tiffany's growing chat, so she could only go.

Fortunately, Tiffany didn't say anything substantial, and she seemed to prefer to describe how heroic and hero-like Malone was.

Of course, Malone isn't an eternal hero, for example when he first saved Tiffany under Caldara's men.

Although Tiffany is trying to use her narrative to portray how fearless and heroic Marlon was at the beginning, in Malone's ears, he can only be embarrassed by his powerlessness at that time.

"Wouldn't it? A skill like Marlon, you, will lose to that orc? ”

Robin said in surprise.

"These orcs...... They're all damned, but they're strong, much stronger than we are. ”

Like Robin, Althea said with emotion.

Soon, though, after some time on the journey, Tiffany couldn't find anything to say.

Tiffany knew very little about the movements and numbers of the orc army that Althea wanted to know.

During the days she spent in the orc camp, she had been in the wooden shed, and she hadn't even gone out to show her face, and she hadn't even seen a few orcs.

So, gradually, perhaps because of the exertion, Althea's words became less and less.

To Malone's surprise, after Althea stopped talking, Tiffany also quieted down, and became the girl who obediently followed her again.

Malone turned his head to look at Tiffany in surprise, but the girl gave him a blank look and ignored him.

It's weird......

- Marlon, who was bored with him, shook his head and continued to walk forward.

The camp that Althea said was really not close, and until the sun set in the west, Ma Long and the others had not yet walked out of the edge of Red Ridge Mountain.

"Let's rest here for the night, and then we'll be on our way tomorrow."

Passing by a bare/naked/ridge clearing, Althea proposed.

Of course, Marlon doesn't need to rest, but he doesn't want to expose his body's abnormality in front of Althea and others, and of course he won't have any objections to this.

Holding Paul to sit down against the ridge, Althea and Robin nervously asked how he was feeling.

"Don't worry so much, I can't die yet......"

Paul grinned, but between his words, there was scarlet blood.

"Paul, we will definitely rush back as soon as possible, you and Harry must ......"

As she said this, Althea looked worriedly at Harry, who had been "unloaded" by Marlon to Paul's side. (To be continued.) )
