Chapter 55: It's Okay, Fool
A white mist filled Tarado in the early morning, and the warriors of the expeditionary force retreated to the ruins of the city of Delaney after a night of fighting.
Tulayan tossed his shield aside, took off his cuirass, and lay down relaxed on the flat stone wall. Due to the collapse, the stone wall was slightly tilted, so Tulayan lay quite comfortably.
Last night they had been attacked by orc forces, and the soldiers of the Broken Hand Clan, led by Kargas, had raided the rear of the expeditionary force. Fortunately, the paladins with Rollin and Delaney cleared the siege in time, otherwise it would have been a big deal.
"Hi Tulayan, drink some water." Khadgar came from the camp in the rear, holding a large palm leaf with a curled leaf containing a lot of clear water.
Tulayan unceremoniously took the palm leaf and drank it all in one go. After drinking, he wiped his mouth with his yellowed shirt and said, "How's your investigation about Naozu's plan?" ”
Khadgar also squeezed on the stone wall, and he also lay down and said, "Neozu has now found a way to perform the ritual, and he is now preparing it at the Carabo Temple. ”
"We're on the periphery of Tarador right now, and I'm sure we'll be attacking Shadowmoon Valley soon. However, our soldiers are now a little tired, and after nearly two months of continuous fighting, everyone is a little overwhelmed. Tulayan said in a low voice.
Khadgar was also melancholy, as it had been less than a month since the astronomical wonders of Draenor, and the expeditionary force had not yet entered Shadowmoon Valley. If it really goes on at this rate, it will definitely be too late.
"We're going to have to think of something special that will allow us to break through the orc's defenses in time." Khadgar pondered.
Tulayan breathed a sigh of relief, he hadn't thought of a way. The terrain of the area where Tarador entered the Valley of Shadowmoon was quite complicated, and the scouts of the expeditionary force did not have a chance to explore the terrain in this area. That is, the expeditionary force attacked the line of defense of the orcs, a completely one-sided charge, and they did not understand the situation here at all. As a battle-hardened leader, Tulayan knew that such an offensive method was stupid, but he had no choice but to use it to gain experience.
"Seriously, Khadgar. I know you're in a hurry, but I can assure you that as long as we break through Shadowmoon Valley's defenses connecting to Tarado, we'll be able to drive straight into the interior of Shadowmoon Valley. Our scouts have mapped Shadowmoon Valley. This area of Shadow Moon Valley is relatively flat and the terrain is simple, which is conducive to the attack of our expeditionary force. Tulayan said confidently.
Getting such information can be regarded as a temporary relief for Khadgar. Although the immediate trouble was not resolved, Khadgar still used enough strength to think of a way to immediately crush the defense line of Shadowmoon Valley by hearing such a smooth follow-up.
"You rest here first, and I'll go to Rollin's camp." Khadgar stood up and said to Tulayan.
After Khadgar left, Tulayan also relaxed a little. Now that he can finally be lazy, with Khadgar and Rollin sharing his worries, and Tulayan getting a good night's sleep.
Facing the morning sun, Tulayan quickly fell asleep. He slept on the crooked stone wall and soon fell asleep.
Breaking open the tent, Khadgar walked into the place where Rollin was temporarily staying.
"You have a rough idea of the situation here." Khadgar asked Rollin.
Rollin shook his head, he concentrated on drawing the 'Rollin' arcane core circle in his hand.
With a wry smile, Khadgar sat down temporarily on the sack full of grain, waiting for Rollin to finish the task at hand.
Ten minutes later, Rollin was relieved from his intense state of mental concentration, and he leaned back in his chair and said, "What's the situation, you know I've been here since we fought last night. ”
Slightly surprised, Khadgar looked around and said, "Aurelia didn't come here?" I thought she told you everything. ”
Shaking his head, Rollin said, "No, I heard from the soldiers that Aurelia went to our rear to prepare food, and I heard that she captured an ogre's camp. A lot of food was seized from that camp. ”
"Okay, okay, don't digress. I'll tell you now, our expeditionary force is in trouble, and it's in the Valley of the Shadow Moon ahead. The orc fortress here is blocking our expeditionary force's path. Khadgar recounted the situation to Lorraine.
Hearing the block, Luo Lin also lifted his spirit, he subconsciously snapped his fingers, and then said in surprise: "There are still 28 days left?" This is no small thing. ”
"So, we have to find a way for Tulayan, or we may suffer a big loss in this orc defense line in front of us!"
Listening to the meaning of Khadgar's words, Rollin also understood. For the orc fortress ahead, Tulayan had no way. Caught in such an embarrassing situation, Luo Lin also understood, after all, there was only one way to enter the Shadow Moon Valley. Scouts may have infiltrated Shadowmoon Valley, but it's impossible to explore the orc stronghold. Orc warlocks are not blind, and they can't afford to let the scouts of the expeditionary force travel through their lines.
"Let's two be scouts?" Rollin asked.
Khadgar didn't refuse, he smiled and said, "There's nothing impossible." I've been thinking about it for a long time, and now among the expeditionary force, only the two of us can sneak into the orc fortress safely. ”
Yawning, Rollin nodded and said, "No problem, but only if you let me sleep for a while." ”
"Me too." Khadgar lay on his back on the granary sack, and then there was no sound in the tent.
These days are indeed very tired, the tired Rollin simply leaned back in the chair, closed his eyes slightly, and fell asleep.
At noon, the Delaney girl walked in from the tent. Just as she was about to speak, she noticed that the two archmagers were asleep. Pouting, Irel walked over to the wooden table and picked up the Rollin Magic Memory Storage.
She had been ordered by Rollin to bring these newly crafted arcane core circles to the construct.
Grabbing his things and just as he was about to leave, Ariel turned and crashed into the arms of a beautiful elf.
The beautiful elf smiled and said, "Are you?" ”
Irel wiped the mark on his forehead and said in a jerky tone, "I am the Paladin who came yesterday, the Paladin of the Draenei. ”
"Uh-huh, I see. Is Rollin here? Aurelia asked quietly.
Irel turned his head to look at Rollin, who was still snoring slightly, and said, "He's here, do you have something to do with him?" ”
"It's okay, I'm just coming to see him." Aurelia smiled sweetly, and she walked inside the tent.
Irel frowned, she had just caught the eyes of the beautiful female creature. She seemed to care about this magister. Women's instincts were exaggerated, and it was clear to Irel that the girl with the pointed ears liked the magician.
I really don't understand why such a beautiful girl would fall in love with this weird magician.
Probably a little louder, Khadgar scratched his face with his left hand, and he opened his eyes to see Aurelia walking in.
The atmosphere was a little awkward, and Khadgar stood up very familiarly and asked in a low voice, "General Ranger, what time is it?" ”
"Around twelve." Aurelia replied.
Nodding, Khadgar smiled and said, "Then I still have time to continue sleeping, you can accompany him here." He's a lot more tired than I am these days. ”
"What about you?"
"I'll find a place to continue sleeping for a while, and I'll have action later." Khadgar replied.
Aurelia looked at Rollin's sleeping face and asked distressedly, "With Rollin?" ”
He was reluctant to answer, but Khadgar nodded.
"Okay, you can call him later, I'll accompany him, and I have to leave." Aurelia pursed her lips and stroked Rollin's face.
Emerging from the tent, Khadgar crashed into Iriel.
"Paladin, what are you doing here?"
Irel took the memory memory and said, "Come get this." By the way, Magister, let me ask you a question. ”
Khadgar rubbed his eyes and said, "Ask, but you have to hurry." ”
Nodding, Irel whispered, "Who was that girl with pointy ears just now?" ”
What a pointy-eared girl, this paladin looks quite shrewd, how can she talk dumbfounded.
"Ahem, that's Elf Aurelia, our Ranger General. He is also the leader of the logistics support and elite squads of the expeditionary force. Khadgar explained.
Iriel asked curiously, "What do you mean by that she is a little bigger than all of you?" ”
A little speechless, but if you make sense, that's true. Khadgar and Rollin are both Magisters, and to be honest, although they have real power, their official positions are no different from those of soldiers.
"That's right, but why are you asking this?"
Irel glanced inside the tent, but was stopped by Khadgar.
"It's not appropriate for children to be busy with you."
Irel wanted to continue asking, but he heard the old man Khadgar say this. She understood immediately.
With a light blue face flushing slightly, Irel snorted coldly and ran away from the side of the tent.
Inexplicably, Khadgar shook his head, then turned his gaze to the other tent.
"Look at your sideburns, they're all white." Aurelia sat next to Rollin and said to the man who felt sorry for her.
"I don't know how long it will be before we can return to our own world. Rollin, I miss my family. Aurelia whispered. She didn't dare to amplify her voice, for fear of disturbing her man's rest.
"Look at your stupid look, you don't look like a great magister at all."
"That's right, Rollin. I'm going to tell you one thing, you know, love can crystallize. After saying that, Aurelia's cheeks were slightly red, a little ashamed, but more happy.
"You said that our family can return to Silvermoon City, but when I return to Silvermoon City, I'm really afraid that the younger sister and the second sister will be angry with me, of course, it's all your fault!" Aurelia frowned, and she looked at Rollin with some anger.
However, in the blink of an eye. Aurelia smiled with relief, and said, "I didn't ask you before, but now you're responsible." ”
After a few short words, a line of tears fell from Aurelia's fair cheeks.
"Villain, meeting you is probably the luckiest thing of my life."
Stretching, Rollin sat up from his chair. He took Aurelia's hand tightly, then took her into his arms. Rollin gently stroked Aurelia's lower abdomen and said in surprise, "Is this true?" My Ranger General? ”
Nodding obediently, Aurelia stopped Rollin by the neck and said, "Liar, I thought you were asleep." ”
"Fool, you're here, can I sleep here without a heart? Tell me how you're feeling these days. Rollin got such big news. The excitement in his heart was stronger than the feeling he had felt for the first time in this world.
"You're stupid, how else can I feel. It's your child anyway. Aurelia took her arm from Rollin's neck, and she lay quietly in Rollin's arms, holding Rollin's solid chest.
With a child of his own, Rollin suddenly felt that this was his first world. For the first time in this world, he had the feeling of returning to his roots, and the strong sense of belonging almost made him cry out excitedly, Rollin put his arms around Aurelia, and his excitement was only Aurelia could understand.
Aurelia's ears were pressed against Rollin's chest, and she tapped softly, "Look at you, my heart is beating out." ”
"It's not a simple concept to be a father." Rollin said excitedly.
"It's still a long time, I'm just asking you to prepare for it now. These elves are not human, I'm ready for a long time, and it will be three years before we see this naughty little guy. Aurelia yearned.
Three years! Rollin was a little surprised, but he quickly accepted the reality. Elves are not human beings after all. Ten months is not the time prescribed by this world.
"Even if that's the case, your future tasks will have to be reduced." Rollin said nervously.
Seeing that the man who had always been steady and calm had become so nervous, Aurelia felt very happy.
"Don't worry so much, I remember when my mother was pregnant with my third sister, she still went out on missions every day. We elves have always been like this, so don't worry. Aurelia said with a smile.
Rollin bowed slightly, he took Aurelia's hand and said, "I will do my best to protect you mother and son." For the most part, though, you'll have to take care of yourself. We haven't been back to Azeroth right now, so a lot of the time, I might"
Before Rollin could finish speaking, his white fingers covered Rollin's lips.
"Don't say stupid things, I know. Our children are more important than anything else. ”
After a period of silence, Aurelia took the initiative to bring Sakura's lips to Rollin's mouth.
"Don't make a fuss, pay attention to your body."
"It's okay, fool." (To be continued.) )
