"No!" The tall young man was furious and said loudly: "We are not as good as pigs and dogs now, what is the difference between us and the walking dead? Look at the Arathi Basin...... It's better to fight like they did! ”

Hearing this, the villagers nodded in agreement, and the crowd became more and more turbulent.

The kingdom of Alterac, once the smallest of the Seven Kingdoms of Mankind, was in the war between humans and orcs, and their king Aiden Pernord and a group of nobles chose to rebel in order to protect themselves, and took refuge in Orgrimmar - Hammer of Destruction, the chief of the orcs at the time.

Traitors never end well, and after the war, Aiden Pernord was imprisoned to death and the kingdom fell apart. Unable to gain legitimacy, the exiled nobles formed an illegal organization that roamed the Alterac Mountains to harass and oppress their former people.

Later, the nature of these illegal armed forces became more and more evil, and gradually they stood in opposition to the people, and the people who had lost the protection of the kingdom hated them.

This is the Syndicate, the largest bandit organization in Lordaeron, and the current leader is the former Duke of the Kingdom of Alterac, Facurrest.

This nameless village is located on the western edge of the former kingdom of Alterac, at the foot of the mountains, in the hills of Hillsbrad, and the bandit is relatively light. But incidents of villagers being plundered and killed like today still happen from time to time, and Cheng Xiaotian just arrived in the evening of this day, and the villagers' anger finally broke out.

"We can't live in fear for generations." The tall young man was so emotional that he began to give an emotional speech on the spot: "We must fight, not for ourselves, but for our descendants, and no matter how much sacrifice it takes, it will be worth it!"

The young man seemed to be very popular, and every word he uttered, the villagers responded loudly, and the prestige of the old village chief seemed to be gradually uncontrollable.

"Great speech, who is he?" Cheng Xiaotian asked the thin man beside him, judging from the conversation of this young man, it was obvious that he was not an ordinary farmer.

The thin man looked reverent and said, "His name is Gelda Haas, but he is not an ordinary person, his father was a great general in the kingdom of Alterac, and he also has the title of viscount. However, the kingdom is gone, and his family is dead, only he led his young sister out of the war, and it was the old village chief who took them in and raised them. ”

Cheng Xiaotian understood what he said, but then shook his head again, the war is cut with a knife, not with the mouth, and it can't be done with blood alone.

However, the villagers who have been agitated don't see it that way, in their minds, no matter their strength or fighting spirit, they will not lose to those bandits, and there are quite a few of them, so what is there to be afraid of? So they made a loud noise, and expressed their willingness to let the bandits taste the hardships under the leadership of Gelda, and it was better to drive them out completely.

"Father-in-law." Speaking of excitement, Gerda knelt down on one knee in front of the old village chief, and said with deep affection: "It was you and these villagers who raised our brothers and sisters, we love this land deeply, and we don't want to see her cry at the feet of the bandits, please allow me to do something, even if I die, I have no regrets!"

"But......" The old village chief was confused, but he didn't know how to persuade him, the emotions of the villagers had been mobilized, and any act of pouring cold water at this time would probably only be counterproductive.

Seeing that the old village chief did not explicitly object, Gelda lowered his head deeply, then suddenly got up, glanced at the villagers, took a deep breath with a solemn face, and burst out with an angry roar: "Follow me, go to Old Bear Ridge!"

The villagers shouted in unison, and with the knife at his waist in his right hand, Gerda picked up a flaming pine branch from the campfire and walked viciously towards the mountains to the east. The other villagers carried farm tools, each grabbed a torch, and followed Gerda away, and the team formed a "fire dragon" in a blink of an eye.

Cheng Xiaotian also shouted, carrying a hoe from nowhere, and happily followed the back of the team.

Can you not be excited, there is a lively watch when you first come, this is too ...... It's so much fun!

Of course, he didn't come out to play this time, they had analyzed the situation before they parted, and if they wanted to fight against the Stormwind Kingdom with the support of the Alliance, it was far from enough to rely on the current Stormgard and Arathi Basin. They must integrate the remnants of Lordaeron as much as possible, and try to gain the support of the various forces.

As the first striker, Cheng Xiaotian put the first stop in the magic kingdom Dalaran, passing by here and seeing that something seemed to be happening below, he came down to see the excitement. This place is now in a state of no government# government, and there is chaos everywhere, which actually has no strategic value in Cheng Xiaotian's mind.

"Hey! Why are you holding torches? Cheng Xiaotian asked the thin man in front of him.

"If you don't have a torch, how can you hurry with this black light?" The thin man felt that Cheng Xiaotian was simply a fool.

Well, this question is indeed a bit silly, but I don't know who is stupid, Cheng Xiaotian is too lazy to argue, just run along.

As soon as the villagers left, the old village chief looked at the crowd shouting and leaving, shook his head and sighed, "You are not the knights of the Arathi Basin, Gelda, and you are not the Lord of Xiaotian, how can I save you......"

Most of the Syndicate were the regular army of the original Alterac, and there were even many noble samurai, and the village chief had served as a soldier, so he knew the difference in combat effectiveness between the two sides. A peasant may be able to fight a soldier on par, but 100 peasants against 100 soldiers will definitely be defeated in an instant, and there is no way to fight back.

But what could he do? The overwhelmed villagers couldn't be persuaded at all, and he didn't have the power to change the tide of the battle.

The old village chief fell into a deep despair, anxious like an ant on a hot pot, scurrying back and forth, and after ten minutes, his steps stopped, and he turned back and shouted, "Zhuoka!"

Someone in the village answered, and then a girl in a coarse cloth dress ran over.

The girl looked to be about 15 or 6 years old, with two knives at her waist and a horned bow in her hand.

The old village chief grabbed the girl's wrist, pulled it in front of him, and said with a solemn face: "You set off at once, ride my horse to the Gilneth Green Ridge outpost, and ask the garrison there for help, and beg them to send troops to help us." If they don't want to...... Let's just say that our village is willing to take the land and population and merge it into the Kingdom of Gilneth. ”

"Hey!" The girl replied crisply, put the horn bow on her shoulder, pursed her lips and whistled, and immediately the sound of horses' hooves sounded in the village, and a tall black horse galloped in front of them.

This horse is called "Black Cloud", produced in the Arashi Basin, the standard war horse, a month ago the old village chief specially went to the Arashi Basin in exchange, no animal in the whole village ran faster than it.

"Go! Don't delay for a minute. The old village chief urged urgently, and the girl Zhuoka answered, grabbed the saddle with a little force, and rode up gently and skillfully. Without raising the whip, the warhorse man stood up, hissed and spread his hooves and galloped wildly, as swift as a dark cloud.

Gilneth is next to the former kingdom of Alterac, and 100 kilometers to the west, there is a border post of 50 light horse scouts stationed in it, and if they can get their help, the crisis can be solved. It's just that Gilneth has been in isolation for many years, deaf to the outside world, and it is not easy to get their help.

In the human kingdom, Gilneth is synonymous with selfishness and cowardice, and the old village chief does not want to be their people, but things are in crisis, and there are no other big forces nearby, so in order to protect the villagers, they can no longer take care of this. (To be continued.) )
