Chapter Forty-Nine: The Phantom Wolf's Trail

actually recruited the famous Edwin Van Cleef without difficulty, which made Xiao Yi overjoyed. www.biquge.info Strictly speaking, this is the first time Xiao Yi has recruited a talent!

Whether it's architectural talent or personal prowess, Edwin Van Cleef is a genius!

This also gave Xiao Yi confidence in the follow-up plan! In order to control the entire Western Wilderness, in addition to the expansion of the Xiquan Fortress, Xiao Yi did not forget the construction of Sentinel Ridge, as the center of the entire Western Wilderness, Xiao Yi planned to build a real royal city there to replace the City of Angels!

Once the heart of the castle is placed, it cannot be moved, but as long as the City of Angels does not fall, then all the cities in the land occupied by Xiao Yi can be promoted to a new Templar City!

The town of Moonbrook has already started to build a new town hall, and once the town hall is completed, then the town of Moonbrook will also get the same magical features as the city of angels!

After days of hard work, after the completion of the speech, and the dispatch of Van Cleef to survey the terrain, the basic layout was completed, and the remaining expansion of the army, as well as the long-term construction, took time.

So Xiao Yi rarely went to bed early and fell asleep to the wolf howl of the twilight forest.

At this time, the city of angels, which fell into the darkness of the night, also ended the hustle and bustle of the day, and most of the tired people hid in warm houses, and a family, or several families, gathered around the fire, sharing delicious soup, and sharing the interesting stories heard today.

Occasionally, the footsteps of the sergeants patrolling outside the door and the barking of dogs can be heard, which makes people feel extremely reassured. The children were playing and playing, and sometimes they accidentally knocked over something, which attracted the scolding of their parents.

The peaceful and silent city, although there is no entertainment at night, is still reassuring to those who have experienced hardship.

"Little Sean! Hurry up and put me to bed! Your brother is already obediently lying in bed! "Somewhere in the southeast corner of the City of Angels' dwellings, there was a rough shout.

Those who are familiar with it know that it is Aunt Liba who is driving his eldest son to bed.

As the first batch of refugees to follow Xiao Yi, Aunt Liba was lucky to let her two sons, one daughter survive the escape, and the youngest daughter unfortunately contracted a cold, and finally evolved into pneumonia and died.

Aunt Liba, who now handles food for the army every day, gets a house near the edge of the city, and then happily moves in with her three children.

Praise to the merciful lord, Aunt Liba never thought that she would be able to own a two-story wooden hut! And this cottage also has a separate kitchen and bath!

Although the location is a little remote, it is much better than the thatched huts that used to live in the countryside! The eldest daughter is about to reach the age of marriage, and she can no longer squeeze together with her younger brothers, so she has a loft of her own!

Aunt Liba, whose head was wrapped in a coarse cloth, used her thick thigh-like arms to carry a boy with short red hair out of the cellar. The wooden staircase creaked with his short thighs, as if it would collapse at any moment.

"It's true! Mom! The boy was carried with his feet off the ground, and as Aunt Liba's arms swung like a rag doll.

He waved his hands and shouted, "I really saw a gnolls run into our cellar!" These abominable rats are sure to steal our smoked sausages clean! Let me kill it! ”

Placing Sean at the top of the stairs, Aunt Liba looked at him with her hands on her hips, her huge figure blocking the light and burying Sean in a shadow.

Facing Aunt Liba's stern gaze, Sean sighed helplessly: "Okay, okay! I'm going to sleep, and if the gnolls have eaten the smoked sausage, don't say I did it! ”

Satisfied, watching her eldest son obediently go upstairs to sleep, Aunt Liba began to clean up the housework.

Today, Aunt Liba went to the recruiting office, and she decided to answer the call of the lord and join the army to give a look at the miscellaneous people who destroyed their homes! But the recruiter actually refused his request!

The reason for refusal is that he is too fat! It's robust or not! After pinching the swimming ring around her waist, Aunt Liba thought indignantly: if it was fat, why didn't they disappear when they fled!

"Suo Suoso~" There was a slight noise in the cellar, and Aunt Liba put down the utensils in her hand and shouted angrily:

"Sean! If you don't go to bed and lie down and get the damn fumigated sausage again, I promise I'll break your legs! ”

"Mom, I didn't!" Sean's aggrieved voice came from upstairs.

Aunt Liba was shocked to hear that her son was actually upstairs, her husband had gone with Mr. Van Cleef to explore the terrain today, and only she and the children were at home, if it was really the jackal who touched the house, it would not be good!

After looking around, she finally picked up the rolling pin and shouted, "Don't come down upstairs!" Then he cautiously walked to the cellar.

"Squeak-" One foot had barely stepped onto the stairs when a large black rat passed under her feet, causing her to scream in fright.

Turning her head, Aunt Liba let out a sigh and scolded loudly, "Damn mouse! Tomorrow I will buy poison and poison you all!" ”

After speaking, he bent down and picked up the rolling pin on the ground, and when he looked up, he found a pair of eyes with a green light staring straight at him. A human-sized creature is hiding in the shadows of the staircase, so close to itself!

I don't know where the courage came from, Aunt Liba waved the short rolling pin in her hand and hit the shadow on the head in one fell swoop.

"Whew-" came the wolf howl of pain.

Sure enough, it's these cowardly and despicable gnolls! Aunt Liba heard the wolf howl, and the anger in her heart went up, there are many jackals in the prison in the city, these are disobedient to discipline, and those who occasionally escape on weekdays will be quickly arrested.

These gnolls have very low combat effectiveness, and long-term hunger allows a half-year-old child to hit them, which is not very dangerous, so after Aunt Liba is sure that it is a gnolls, she has no fear in her heart.

With a curse in her mouth, she picked up her broom from around the corner, raised it and struck into the shadows.

It may have angered the creature in the shadows, and it leaped out and bit Aunt Liba's forearm.

"Whew!" The pain was so intense that Aunt Liba let out a scream, and her short thighs rose and kicked her in the stomach, flying out along with a piece of her own flesh and rags of her clothes.

Aunt Liba, who broke out in a cold sweat because of the pain, saw the other party's appearance clearly. Scarlet eyes grew on a momentary wolf's head, sharp teeth glowed coldly in the light, and bloodshot saliva flowed from the corners of its mouth.

Standing upright like a human, but covered with shiny black hair and sharp claws that make people shudder, this is a black wolf that can stand! Looks more in line with the description of a wolf than a weak gnoll!

The pain and horror made Aunt Liba make the most correct choice, and she took a deep breath: "Help! ”

The cries for help spread far away, attracting not only the neighbors, but also the sergeants on patrol.

Hearing the sound of footsteps from far and near, Aunt Liba felt a little relieved, looked up, and found that her eldest son Sean was really lying on the second floor and peeking!

Fortunately, perhaps it was the sound of the sergeant's footsteps, or the sound of the neighbor opening the door, that made the wolf-monster quickly flee through the window.
