121 Conflict
When Ma Long dragged his tired body and led his soldiers into Yuexi Town, his mood could be said to be quite complicated. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
There were no fences or walls in the town of Yuexi, and Malone walked straight into the town with his soldiers; While a number of humans could be seen running around in a hurry, not a single guard could be seen.
"Strange...... What are these guys doing? Didn't they know that the orcs were about to invade here? Why is there no defense at all? β
De Jong said with some anxiety - seeing Moonstream, he remembered Lakeside before he was slaughtered by the orcs.
"Let's find someone to ask."
Malone commanded.
"Well, I'll go."
Paul nodded, and then took a few steps forward, just in time to see a young man in a linen shirt and trousers pass in front of him, and hurried towards the center of the town, so he reached out and grabbed him.
But what Paul didn't expect was that the young man rushed forward so quickly that he was pulled by himself, and the other person staggered, and everything in his hand fell to the ground with a thud - it was a large pile of silver and copper coins, falling to the ground and rolling around.
"Why so much money?"
Paul asked, surprised, and then immediately crouched down and helped the young man pick up the coins on the ground.
"Hey, what are you doing?"
The young man looked angry, and he fell to his knees, frantically picking up the coins, and complained loudly about Paul.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry...... I didn't expect you to leave in such a hurry...... What are you going to do here? β
Paul apologized and handed the young man the coins he had picked up.
"Forget it...... It's good if there's no less money...... Don't you know? The goblin fleet is willing to take us out of here, and each one only needs a gold coin! Those of us who have lived on the farm all our lives, have we never seen gold coins...... But the silver and copper coins at home are finally enough, and I want to get them to the goblins quickly...... If it's too late, you won't be able to get on the boat, and you'll be in trouble. β
The young man carefully grabbed the coins with the front of his coat, stood up, and said to Paul in an exaggerated tone.
"Goblins? Fleet? Gold? Wait a minute...... What's going on, can you tell us? β
Marlon heard the young man's words, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong; He dragged his somewhat tired body to the young man and asked repeatedly.
"You didn't hear it yourself...... Is it? β
The young man raised his head impatiently, wanting to complain to Ma Long, but he was suddenly stunned, his eyes staring at Ma Long, and he didn't know what he was looking at.
Malone was also a little strange - does this guy know himself? But...... I haven't heard that the Lothar family is in the Western Wilderness in Yuexi Town, what other relatives do they have?
But soon, Malone realized that the young man was not looking at him, but at ...... Rubes and Hogg.
"Save ...... Help me! Wolf! Gnolls! Help me! β
Suddenly, the young man shouted loudly, struggling to carry the coins in the placket of his clothes, and ran towards the center of Mooncreek Town in a strange posture.
Marlon and Paul and the others looked at each other, looked back at Hogg and Rubes with innocent faces, and smiled bitterly - this young man is too bold, right?
"Hey, don't run, this wolf and that gnoll are not ......"
Paul smiled and caught up with the young man, trying to pull him back.
Suddenly, Paul's face changed; He jerked the hand he was about to reach, and took a few steps backβjust where he had just stood, a crossbow bolt flew by, slammed into the ground, bounced diagonally, spun twice in the air, and plunged upside down in the dirt not far away.
Paul took a few steps back, drew his one-handed sword at his waist, and looked forward with alarmβin front of him and the young man with the gold in his pocket, a group of heavily armed soldiers were staring at him with the same vigilance.
At the front of the line of soldiers, a middle-aged officer in full plate armor had in his hand a crossbow that had been shot empty.
"Who are you? Tell me your name and what you're coming for! Otherwise, the next crossbow arrow will not be aimed at the ground! β
The middle-aged officer shouted the order.
"He's X's ......"
Paul cursed under his breath - he didn't think the middle-aged officer was aiming at the ground; If you step back a second later, you'll be crippled.
"What are you going to do?"
Seeing Paul being attacked by the guards of Mooncreek Town, Robin, Harry, and other West Springs garrisons, as well as those militiamen, were all vigilant; They drew their one-handed swords, or clenched their spears, and swarmed up, leaning on Paul, in an offensive formation.
The middle-aged officer was stunned for a moment, obviously not realizing that the soldiers he was facing were so well-trained; However, although it was a little slower, the soldiers under him were quickly ready for battle; At the same time, more soldiers kept coming from the center of Yuexi Town, and soon the number exceeded two hundred, surrounding Ma Long and the others in the center.
"I know you're all strangers! Whether it's Mooncreek Town or Sentinel Ridge, I've never seen you before! If you are a soldier of Stormwind, or a guard of another town...... Explain your intentions! Otherwise...... We will treat you like enemies! β
The middle-aged officer was relieved to see that his people had "controlled" the scene, and then shouted loudly at Ma Long and the others - of course, because the other party is also a human after all, this shouting is more or less a threat component.
"Stop! I'm Marlon Lothar, the garrison officer of Westspring Fortress, and these are the garrison of Westspring Fortress and the militia of Nighttown! We've come to the Wild West to help you fight the orcs! Put away your weapons! We have come from afar, is this how you receive your compatriots? β
Marlon walked to the front row of his own soldiers, gently pressed Paul's hand on the hilt of the sword, pressed it down, and then shouted loudly to the guards of Mooncreek.
Listening to Ma Long's words, the middle-aged officer opposite raised his hand; With this action, his subordinates put away their weapons one after another, and those bright crossbow arrows were no longer pointed at Ma Long and the others.
"Lothar? β¦β¦ Which Lothar? β
Looking at Ma Long's young face, the middle-aged officer hesitated for a moment, and then asked suspiciously.
"Nonsense...... Will there be a second House of Lothar in Stormwind? β
Paul didn't have a good impression of the officer who had nearly shot him, and before Malone could speak, he laughed loudly.
