"Anduin Lothar! The Marshal of Stormwind, Ser Anduin Lothar, is my uncle. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info I think I've said enough, now, it's your turn. ”

Malone patted Paul's wrist and signaled him not to confront the opponent like this, and then answered the middle-aged officer's question loudly.

"I'm Warrant Officer Oku of Sentinel Ridge...... Are you really the nephew of Marshal Lothar? ”

The middle-aged officer listened to Ma Long's words, hesitated for a moment, and then handed his hand crossbow to a soldier beside him, straightened his belt, strode in front of Ma Long, looked at him and asked.

"Is it necessary for me to tell such a lie? And...... Warrant Officer Oku, I suppose you should focus on something more important than trying to prove my identity...... The orc army is heading towards Mooncreek and will soon arrive here...... Are you going to confront your soldiers against my men like this until they arrive? ”

Malone lightly distracted himself from the question of his identity, and then reminded Warrant Officer Oku of what he should be doing now as a garrison officer.

"I know the orcs are coming...... But I don't know exactly how many of them...... Still, my men and I are willing to fight to protect Mooncreek - if you're really Marshal Lothar's nephew, you know that. ”

Warrant Officer Oku's face was a little ugly, but he still insisted.

"You...... Is it my uncle's subordinate? ”

Ma Long heard a little bit of information from the middle-aged officer's words, and asked guessingly.

"Ever. I used to be a subordinate of Field Marshal Lothar until three years ago, when he sent me to Sentinel Ridge as the new garrison officer. ”

Warrant Officer Oku glanced at Malone—he couldn't confirm the young man's identity yet; But obviously, the other party should not be here to sabotage.

"Six months before the outbreak of the war, my uncle sent me to the West Spring Fortress as a garrison officer...... Unfortunately, we couldn't help us when Stormwind fell...... Warrant Officer Oku, this is not the place to talk, can you find a quieter place? I think we both have a lot to talk about. ”

As soon as Malone wanted to recount his experience, he interrupted himself; After thinking about it, he still made such a request.

"Okay, please follow me...... I have a question, though...... This wolf, and ...... This gnoll ...... They are also part of the Westspring garrison? ”

Warrant Officer Oku agreed to Malone's request, but before doing so, he looked behind Malone, questioning the identities of Rubes and Hogg the Gnoll.

"I raised this wolf, that gnoll...... He was our guide before and led us here...... What to do with him next, I haven't figured it out yet. But Warrant Officer Oku, don't worry, he's not a threat. ”

Malone replied.

"Alright, come with me...... I'll take you to the mayor here. ”

Warrant Officer Oku nodded, then turned to his soldiers.

"A few of you, keep an eye on them, if these people ...... Especially when that wolf and the gnolls had strange behaviors, they were immediately controlled, understand? ”

Walking up to his subordinates, Warrant Officer Oku immediately whispered orders to a few trusted subordinates.

"Understood, sir!"

Several of the garrison soldiers at Sentinel Ridge nodded knowingly and replied in a low voice.

Warrant Officer Oku hadn't fully trusted the strangers who had suddenly appeared outside Mooncreek, and so was Malone—in front of his own soldiers, his orders were almost identical to those of Warrant Officer Oku.

"Paul and Robin, and De Jong, the three of you come with me...... Harry, you take the rest of the rest here for a break. If...... What are the threatening actions of the guards here...... Don't scruple about protecting yourselves. ”

Ma Long whispered to several soldiers of the Xiquan garrison - the so-called defense is indispensable, and for the crossbow arrow that Warrant Officer Oku shot at Paul before, not only Paul himself, but even Ma Long was a little worried.

"Understood, Chief Lothar."

Paul and the others replied in unison.

……

Sir Elgardine was old after all, and he and McLaren, under the protection of a few guards, had not gone far north of Mooncreek when they were met by Warrant Officer Oku who had hurried towards him.

"Warrant Officer Oku, what's going on? Did the orcs call? ”

Sir Elgardine hurriedly asked—he was more concerned about the well-being of Mooncreek, while McLaren noticed the strangers who were following Warrant Officer Oku—these were definitely not the garrison of Sentinel Ridge, and had never been seen in Mooncreek...... Where did they come from?

"Orcs? Of course not...... But, Sir Elgardine, we have guests coming...... I think we'll go back to the city hall for more details. ”

Warrant Officer Oku briefly recounted the events to Sir Elgardine, but not in detail—as Malone had said before, many things had to be discussed in a quiet place.

"Guests? These are the ...... Sir? Okay, I got it. ”

Sir Elgardine nodded repeatedly, looked Malone and the others up and down, then turned around and walked back in the direction of the town hall.

Malone followed behind Warrant Officer Oku, but his mind was not on the garrison officer and "Sir Elgadine".

Even here, Malone could hear the shouting from the center of Yuexi Town; Judging by the specifics of what he vaguely heard...... Malone sensed a conspiracy was coming at the last human settlement in the Wild West.

……

"You mean...... Are you the nephew of that Marshal of Lothar? ”

In the room of the town hall, Sir Elgardine asked in surprise as he widened his eyes as he looked at Marlon, who was sitting across from him.

"Sir Elgardine, just call me Marlon."

was called "you" by an old man with white hair, Ma Long really couldn't stand this kind of treatment.

"Horse ...... Sir Lothar, you're saying that you and your soldiers escaped from Stormwind and headed to Nighttown, where they established a safe stronghold? ”

McLaren wanted to call Malone by his first name, but he hesitated, thinking that he still had to give a nobleman the courtesy he deserved, so he called Malone "Sir Lothar" and asked eagerly.

"That's right, Mr. McLaren. Unfortunately, by the time we arrived, the residents of Nightshade were already ...... All were killed by the orcs. ”

Ma Long said in a sad tone with a sad expression on his face.
