Chapter 58: Sin

Outside the walls of Greymane, the people who had escaped from the cage were gathered under the leadership of Vincent Goldfrey, and after being healed, they would follow the avengers to the northern part of the kingdom.

It's just that there were more than 60,000 people inside the walls, and now there are only about 40,000 left......

The soldiers of the Avengers looked at the refugees who had suffered heavy casualties, and their hearts were like swallowing a boulder, but they were helpless. Gilneth was originally the third largest kingdom of mankind, even if it was destroyed like this, it still had considerable strength, and was protected by the Wall of Greymane, and the Arathi Basin was only a few thousand elite soldiers, and it was impossible to defeat her.

After leading the disaster victims and the food harvesters, the army repaired in place for three days and began to march north. Different from the last light car Jane, now there are tens of thousands of injured people, the team is bloated and sluggish, the original planned rapid action is no longer possible, and the movement speed is as slow as a turtle.

According to Lanya's intentions, it was intended that the refugee force should march south to join the refugees waiting there, but Vincent Goldfrey insisted on taking everyone north with him. These refugees had been following him for a long time, had been sheltered by him, and were very convinced and loyal to him, and were willing to follow him on this arduous journey, and none of them had any objections.

After a week of such a slow march, the large army reached the middle of the Wall of Greymane, and the towering gates came into view. The 30-metre-wide portal, which was originally the only way to communicate between the inside and outside of the wall, is now closed and silent.

At nightfall, a large group of tens of thousands of men and horses blocked the gate and set up camp, where they would rest for a while. Blocking the gate and camping, you can observe the movement inside the gate at any time, and it is safer not to give the enemy the distance to charge as a whole team.

It was dark early in the north in winter, and the camp soon fell silent, except for a few groups of avenging guards who climbed the wall to keep watch.

In the center of the camp, the only light was still lit in the tent of the Chinese army, and it was Lan Ya holding a meeting attended by several officers of the avenging army, as well as Vincent Gofrey and his two lieutenants.

"We are ready to turn back, and if we go on, the front will be too long, the troops will be limited, and there will be too many people, and we will not be able to take care of it." Lanya sat on the throne and said, her eyes kept looking at Vincent Godfrey as she spoke.

As Lan Ya expected, Vincent didn't react, just sat mechanically, staring at the light. He is a middle-aged man, with a Chinese face, a beard, and a dignified appearance, but the skin between his eyebrows is furrowed, buried with deep melancholy.

In this war, he led the refugees all the way and tried his best to keep everyone safe, but his family was all dead, and there was no one left......

Looking at the refugee leader who was engulfed in suffering, Lan Ya sighed secretly and said, "You go back and prepare, and follow us to the Arathi Basin tomorrow." ”

Hearing this, Vincent finally raised his head, looked at Lan Ya and said sincerely, "Sir, thank you. ”

Speaking of this, Vincent stood up and walked in front of Lan Ya, suddenly knelt down on his knees, lowered his head and said: "When we were in trouble, God did not come to our rescue, and the holy light did not shine on us, it was the great lord who reached out to us and saved all the people from fire and water. ”

Vincent's deputies looked at each other, and their emotions became excited, and they walked to Vincent's side, knelt down as well, and the three of them bowed to Lanya together. Lan Ya couldn't stand such a big gift, so she hurriedly flashed to the side and said, "Hurry up, I am grateful, please go to the basin to show the lord in person." ”

Vincent raised his head, already in tears, he looked at Lan Ya and muttered: "Lord Lord is not here, please accept this gift on your behalf, it is better if he is not there, otherwise I am afraid that I will not dare to say the next words." ”

Lan Ya's heart tightened when she heard this, waiting for his next step.

Vincent continued: "Sir, we have already discussed, we were born and raised in Si, nourished and blessed by this land, and now we see her fall and sink, how can we abandon her? ”

Lan Ya's pupils shrank when she heard this, and she asked, "Then what are you going to do?" ”

Vincent didn't seem to dare to look at Lan Ya, looked at the void in front of him and said: "At the beginning, the plague was rampant in the Arathi Basin, and the lord decisively set fire to the entire grassland, turned the basin into a furnace, swept away the evil spirits, and returned the people to a pure land, we can do the same!" ”

Lan Ya was startled, and her face changed suddenly, "This is different!" ”

The basin is just a grassland, the fire is limited, and the uninfected people have no time to retreat to the Beira Valley for refuge, but it is full of oily coniferous forests, and it is surrounded by high walls, and the fire is together, the heavens and the earth are overturned, and no one can live!

Moreover......

"You know, we have a way to undo the werewolf curse, and it's simple, why not save them? Instead, kill them all! Lanya asked sharply.

Vincent Goldfrey shook his head bitterly, "I know, how many more people do we need to sacrifice to redeem those cursed werewolves?" Ten thousand? Twenty thousand? Or all of them?! ”

When the revenge officers and soldiers heard this, they looked at each other, how should they choose?

Lanya gritted her teeth and thought about it, her beautiful face began to become distorted, what should she do? My lord, where have you been? If it were you, what would you do?

There was a deathly silence in the tent, and after a long time, Vincent took his deputy and bowed to the air again, stood up and said, "Tomorrow morning I will lead the people to the north and light a fire from the northernmost part of the high wall." Please don't look back after you leave, all these sins should stay in this land. ”

After that, the three of them opened the curtain door and left, Lan Ya hesitated and did not stop.

Outside the tent, Vincent looked up to the sky, took a deep breath, and spit out again. At some point, the sky began to fall and snowflakes began to fall, and the first snow of this winter finally arrived.

Suddenly, there was a crisp chirp in the night sky, and a five-colored bird flew low in the air, over the high wall and into the Wall of Greymane. Vincent Goldfrey was a little puzzled, how could birds fly at night in such weather? He grew up in this big forest, but he didn't recognize what it was.

Inside the high wall, the bird began to fly again at a lower altitude, its posture was a little unstable, its feathers were also very messy, and its spirit was sluggish, as if it was extremely tired. Still, it struggled to fly forward, braving the ever-increasing wind and snow.

After about two hours of flying like this, it came to a glade, circled for a week, and landed in the middle of the clearing, looking a little confused. But instead of flying away, it curled up on the ground and waited on the spot.

The wait was long and difficult, the snow grew heavier and heavier, the north wind howled like a wolf, the little bird kept shaking off the snow on its body, and its spirit became worse and worse, and finally after a day and night, it fell on the spot and became a bird folded of colored paper.

At the same time, in the Alterac Mountains, on a snowy mountain, Blue Feather stood alone on the top of the mountain, looking to the west. Above him, the rolling clouds were within reach, the cold storm was as fierce as a knife, the snowflakes were flying all over the sky, and the weather could not be worse.

In the valley below, 500 Avenger soldiers had put away their tents and were lining up to give him his order.

"Why haven't you come back yet?" Blue Feather muttered dissatisfied, sighed, and flew down the valley into a crow.

"Mr. Blue Feather, is there still no news from adults?" Before he could land, Little Barton hurriedly greeted him and asked, Blue Feather turned into a human form and shook his head with a bitter face.

He has been waiting for Cheng Xiaotian's news here with the avenging army for the past two days, so that he has fallen behind the mountain range rebels, and the birds that can transmit the news are gone, and now the military situation is urgent, and it can no longer be delayed. He never imagined in advance that the meeting place of the Syndicate army would be in the deepest part of this snowy mountain, and if he walked forward, he would almost reach Hinterland, where the Hammer dwarves lived.

"Don't wait, we'll catch up immediately." Lan Yu beckoned, "Those guys are a mess, I'm always worried that something will happen to them." (To be continued.) )
