Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Tide of War Changes
At dusk, a goshawk swoops down from the Alterac Mountains into the hills. As the fastest bird of prey in the world, the goshawk is petite, agile and has a strong eyesight that can see prey from several kilometers away.
The goshawk's brown feathers were shiny and smooth, and with a series of crisp chirps, it swept over the earth and mountains as fast as lightning. Riding the air currents from the high mountains, it quickly reached speeds of up to 300 kilometers and flew above a small village in just a few minutes.
The village was silent, and after circling for two weeks, the goshawk turned to the northeast.
About a kilometer after leaving the village, the goshawk suddenly let out an eager chirp and hovered in the air to observe. I saw that there were three positions below, and dozens of people were lurking behind each position, watching nervously around.
These positions were rudimentary, consisting of door panels erected side by side, in groups of ten, barely enough to be used as bow and arrow positions.
After some observation, the goshawk flapped its wings and was about to turn away against the wind, but as soon as it turned around, a huge shadow pressed down on its head. The goshawk was startled, screamed and made a sharp turn, and was extremely agile to dodge.
But before it could speed up, the shadow suddenly expanded, and a pair of large hands reached out, and grabbed the neck and feet respectively, as if they were grasping a chicken. This surprise was not trivial, the goshawk struggled desperately, but the hands were as steady as iron hoops, and they couldn't move at all.
"Be honest with me, I'll ask you later." A handsome male elven face suddenly approached, threatening the goshawk viciously, and then its face contorted into a giant blue crow. The goshawk was dumbfounded, and even forgot to struggle, what this person said, it could actually understand!
The person who came, it was the druid Blue Feather - Night Wind.
Turning into a crow again, Blue Feather grabbed the goshawk with his talons and flew down towards the ground, and there was a cheer from the ground below. Looking forward to the stars and the moon, it can be regarded as looking forward to an adult.
"Lord Blue Feather, Lord Lord?" Without waiting for Lan Yu to land, Fei Lun came up and asked eagerly, and the villagers also ran out of the position and surrounded him.
Lan Yu's face was a little solemn, and he looked at the villagers who were full of expectations, and told him the truth: "Cheng Xiaotian, he ...... I'm afraid I won't be able to make it in time. ”
At that moment, Lan Yu will encounter the Gilneth refugee, and he said it as it was, and the villagers were shocked when they heard it, but they didn't expect that the neighboring Kingdom of Gilneth would be in such a mess. With the vicious Syndicate on one side and the chaotic Gilneth on the other, can there still be people here......
"Or ...... Don't fight this battle, we will also move to the Arathi Basin, my lord, will you still accept it? One of the villagers said cautiously, and the people immediately began to talk about it. Some of them said that it was better to move, while others said that it was difficult to leave their homeland, and they quarreled to no avail, and finally they all set their eyes on Lan Yu.
Lan Yu pondered for a moment and shook his head, "A village is small, and there are tens of thousands of people scattered in the Alterac Mountains, what should those people do?" ”
"Otherwise, we'll go into the mountains at once and look for Gerda and Zoka." This time, it was Rosen Xavier who spoke, and his words were immediately echoed by everyone, and since the death of the old village chief, Gerda and Zoka have become the backbone of the villagers.
However, there is another problem at hand, the Syndicate bandits are also gathering in the mountains and forests, and the villagers there are not very familiar with each other, and if they collide head-on, it will be over.
Seeing everyone's doubts, Lan Yu proudly raised his hand, shook the dejected goshawk in his hand, and said with a smile: "With this spy here, what news can't be asked?"
After that, Lan Yu pinched his neck and carried the goshawk in front of him, and shouted coldly: "Say!"
The goshawk, which was originally a little sluggish, was frightened and struggled in feathers, and Lan Yu was quite impatient, so he simply grabbed its head and threw it to the ground, smashing the ground and dusty, and the villagers all squinted and shrunk their necks, looking strange and unbearable...... However, the effect was significant, and by the time Blue Feather brought the goshawk in front of him again, the little guy was completely stupid......
No one heard the goshawk make a sound, so Blue Feather just held it to her ear and kept nodding her head, as if she was listening intently. As he listened, the smile on his face faded and became solemn.
"I'm afraid we're going to have to get going." Blue Feather lowered the goshawk, glanced at the crowd, and said in a deep voice: "The enemy met the men and horses gathered by Zhuoka at the Eagle's Beak Rock, the two sides are fighting, Zhuoka and they are trapped."
The villagers were anxious when they heard this, and they discussed countermeasures, Zhuoka is the granddaughter of the old village chief, and she must not watch her have an accident, but what to do, everyone can't come up with an idea after arguing for a long time.
"Lord Blue Feather, please give the order." Faeron suddenly turned to Blue Feather and gave a solemn military salute, and the other three avengers immediately followed. The villagers reacted and followed suit, and also saluted......
Someone has to make a decision here, Lan Yu's status is the highest, and his combat effectiveness is also the strongest, who will not give him this burden to? But the problem is that Lan Yu is not a soldier, and he is not good at fighting.
"This ......" Lan Yu looked embarrassed.
Fei Lun hurriedly gagged him, maintained a military posture and shouted: "Your Excellency is about to give an order, everyone is silent!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone shut up, and more than a hundred pairs of eyes stared directly at Lan Yu, full of anticipation, Lan Yu swallowed his saliva unconsciously, the pressure was so great......
"In this way, I will temporarily act as the commander, and when Cheng Xiaotian comes, the command will be automatically given to him." Lan Yu coughed and said, and everyone's hearts fell to the ground.
Then Lan Yu began to order, "Now, I appoint Fei Lun as the acting acting commander, and lead everyone to rush to the aid of Eagle's Beak Rock immediately, Rosen-Xavier stays here, waiting for Lord Cheng Xiaotian, as for me, ......"
Before Lan Yu finished speaking, everyone booed, not wanting to pull it down, and making a "acting commander-in-chief"...... You can't be so blatant in shirking responsibility, right?!
Facing the crowd that expressed their dissatisfaction, Lan Yu hurriedly reassured: "I'm going to carry out a difficult task alone!" I'm going to fly over the mountains and contact Gherda. ”
"And ......" The crowd booed even more, which was a "difficult task" for a flying druid?
Lan Yu ignored the yelling and suppressed all the dissatisfied voices, "Time is pressing, everyone act according to the order immediately!" Including me......"
With that, Lan Yu instantly turned into a crow again, and flew to the southeast as if fleeing, leaving behind the crowd who looked at each other on the ground.
"Acting Acting Commander......" A villager shouted weakly, almost biting his tongue, unspeakably awkward.
As a soldier, it is his duty to obey orders, Fei Lun immediately waved his hand and shouted: "Lord Blue Feather order, except for Lawson, the rest of the people will immediately follow me into the mountain, and gallop to the aid of Eagle's Beak Rock in the starry night!"
Faeron had been training the peasants for several days, and was well respected, and his orders were immediately carried out well. The villagers didn't even return home, and lined up in a column, following closely behind the four Shushan revenge troops, and drove towards the Alterac Mountains.
By this time it was already dark, the moon had not yet risen, and the brigade soon disappeared into the night, except for the faint sound of marching footsteps. Rosen-Xavier was bored, so he simply lay on his back on the ground, and after a while, he snored loudly. (To be continued.) )
