“……”

Vanessa, the new queen of the Difia Republic, was frowning disapprehensively and looking in the direction of the city gate.

Because, when she rushed to the east gate with her most elite soldiers, as well as powerful mages and orc shamans, she found that they seemed to be a little late?

Because she saw that the light armor of the People's Army of the Western Wilderness, which numbered about a thousand people, had broken through the defense line of the goblin mercenaries and was running out of the door!

And those stupid fellows were actually entangled with that old paladin and the large group of elite plate armor troops of less than two hundred people led by the other party, right at the entrance of the city gate?

It wasn't until her troops arrived that the useless goblin mercenaries gave way to the gate, and now, her men were rushing towards the gate in formation!

However...... Surrounded by the old paladin and the other party's elite troops, they were beaten back in embarrassment...... And when her musketeers were about to shoot, they quickly formed a shield array, blocking the narrow part of the city gate, so that the projectiles could only hit the opponent's iron shield in vain.

"What a bunch of useless stuff!"

Vanessa didn't understand, wouldn't those fools run to the city walls to attack the enemies blocking the gates outside? After wasting so much time, the main force of the other side would have run away long ago!

However, this shouldn't be too bad, at least, the old paladin she fears the most hasn't left yet! He still stayed there, and the two hundred men were blocked outside the city gates, as if he was determined to fight to the death to win a chance to escape for the army of more than 1,000 people?

"Huh? What's going on! ”

Just as Vanessa was about to cross the street and rush to the city gate to deal with the old paladin, she suddenly saw an ogre wielding a mace on the side of the street, who was excitedly smashing the door of the house and trying to break in?

Moreover, she also heard the screams and cries of women and children in terror faintly coming from the house in the door?!

"Humph! Look for death! ”

Seeing that the ogre dared to do such a forbidden thing in the town of Mooncreek that she was about to occupy, Vanessa shook her hand, causing a black dagger to fly out of her hand in an instant, and slammed into the head of the medium-sized ogre who was smashing the door on the side of the street, as if intending to go in and burn and loot, so that its huge body shook twice and fell heavily on its back on the stairs by the door of the house.

The thick mace rolled down to the feet of the screaming trolls and goblins around them, startling them out of the way.

“……”

The sudden change startled the trolls or other goblins who had been waiting around and quickly picked up their respective guys, looking at the newly arrived Defia Brotherhood soldiers and the vicious woman who had just struck hard.

That's right, this big house that looks more luxurious, it's just here at the east gate, and it happens to be in the middle of the battlefield! Out of proximity, these goblins or trolls had planned to wait for the big ogre to smash the door so they could go in and burn and loot!

After all, they also paid a lot of casualties in order to enter Yuexi Town, and now, it is finally time for them to reap the fruits of victory.

Although I mentioned above that there are still big bounties, but now it is a little bit to grab a little more! For outlaws like them who dare to be mercenaries, no matter how much they say in words, nothing can reassure them more than taking them directly into their hands.

"Stop it!!"

"Hey! What do you want to do as a woman? I tell you, we were hired at the expense of Her Majesty the honourable Queen Anne, and we are our own on both sides! But why did your Brotherhood of Defia suddenly scare my men?! ”

Seeing that the two sides were about to start a direct shopping fight, the goblin director of the venture capital company rushed over with a big jump of his men, stopped in the middle of the two teams, and protested loudly at Vanessa very angrily.

"Humph! Who is your own person with you guys? ”

"Goblins, listen to me: I'm Vanessa Van Cleef, Queen of the Republic of Defia!"

"From today onwards, Yuexi Town, it is the royal capital of our Difia Republic! Your mission is now complete, just stay honest! Her Majesty Anne has promised you the commission that we will give you no less! But I warn you, if any of your monsters or monsters dares to make trouble in my territory, it will be your example! ”

Pointing to the ogre corpse that had fallen on the steps of the house's gate, with a swarthy dagger stuck in its head, Vanessa looked around the trolls and goblins again, and the cold and dark gaze frightened them back a few steps before she snorted coldly and continued to rush towards the city gate with her guards.

Now, she's not in the mood to waste time here with these guys, she's going to trouble that old paladin first!

"But ......"

Looking at the ogre who died innocently, the goblin Brak originally wanted to open his mouth and let the other party lose a little money...... But after thinking about it carefully, he felt that he had made a lot of money today, not only hacked the money of the Thorn Valley Venture Capital Company, but also was about to get a large amount of commissions, plus he might need to mix here in the Western Wilderness in the future, so he could only muttered a few words of resentment, and did not dare to stand up for the ogre who was not very familiar with him.

But actually, he also thinks in his heart that it would be good for those ogres and trolls to die a little more? Anyway, in addition to his goblin subordinates and henchmen, their ogres and trolls were also hired by him temporarily, and if one more person dies, then he can be paid one less salary?!

"Well, Your Majesty Queen Vanessa, you have the final say!"

Shrugging his shoulders indifferently at the dark-haired woman who had gone away, Braque's mind began to come alive.

You know, that's two pounds of gold, and if it's dead, you don't have to pay for it...... So, do you want to find a chance to send those trolls to a dangerous place where there is still a fight?

“……”

"Their elite of the Brotherhood of Defia have finally arrived, Lieutenant Fablon, do you regret it now?"

From the hole in the gate, after smashing an ogre directly to the ground with a hammer, as soon as he looked up, Grian saw a commotion in the distance of the street, and then he found that the leader of the Defia Brotherhood, the woman dressed in a delicate black tight-fitting leather suit, Vanessa Van Cleef, sighed helplessly when he saw that the other party was walking towards them with a grim expression, and after shaking the blood stains on the war hammer, he asked the adjutant next to him, Lieutenant Fablon, in a self-deprecating manner.

This Fablon is from a wealthy family of big farmers.

It is said that he also has a lot of connections and origins in Stormwind City, and he also has a connection with a certain nobleman? In short, as far as Grian himself knows, the other party has a large pumpkin farm in the north of the Western Wilderness, and he has a young and beautiful wife, it would be a pity if he died here in Mooncreek Town now......

"I don't regret it! Lord Grian, my subordinates have sworn to follow you to the death! ”

Looking at the unscrupulous enemies in the city, Fablon gritted his teeth and replied loudly.

Originally, he was just a very ordinary middle-level warrior, at most those who were a little richer, and could equip themselves with good weapons and armor and expensive war horses, nothing more! However, thanks to His Excellency's attention, he was not only taught the power of the Light and succeeded as a trainee paladin, but he was also entrusted with the important task of commanding the entire Wild West as the commander's deputy, which was a great honor for him!

Therefore, in the spirit of a knight, although he himself was very hesitant in his heart, he also had a great fear of imminent death...... However, in the end, he did not show his humble timidity, but directly put on his helmet fiercely, covering all inappropriate expressions.

Some roads, since you have chosen, you must stick to it! He believed that even if he died here today, his wife Funa would be proud of him!

"Really? Sure enough, you didn't disappoint me! It's just ......"

"Lieutenant Fablon obeys the order: I now appoint you as the commander-in-chief of the People's Army of the Western Wilderness, with full authority over all matters of the People's Army! So, now you lead the rest of these people to retreat to Sentinel Ridge immediately, and there must be no mistake! ”

Now the fate of defeat is inevitable, and if you count the more than 1,000 people who ran away, the less than 2,000 men and horses left now may be the last force of their newly established People's Army of the Western Wilderness...... He, Grian, didn't want to let everyone be buried here with him because of his own mistakes.

Now, this has the advantage of the city gate, and intercepting the enemy's pursuers will buy enough time for those good guys to escape, and he only needs to be enough!

"Lord Gregian! What about you?! ”

Fablon was stunned for a moment at hearing this strange order, and then, with some incredulity, he looked at Grian, the prefect of the city gate cave who was alone in his grip on the hammer.

"Go, Fablon!"

"Your family is still waiting for you to go back, and your wife is still waiting for you on the farm! And me, I'm very old now, and I have nothing to regret! Besides, my family is in Stormwind now, so there's nothing to worry about! ”

"You have to remember that if ...... If that Sentinel Ridge can't hold it, you can immediately retreat to the Elwyn Forest, to Stormwind! ”

Holding the hammer that began to emit golden light energy slightly, Grian Stallman waved his hand behind him after explaining a few things at the end, and he walked straight to the city gate by himself.

He stubbornly believes that everything is caused by his own mistakes, and he will have to bear all this alone......

Grian felt that he was an incompetent commander himself, not only losing the town of Moonstream, but also killing countless warriors here, and probably making the entire Wild West unsavory...... So, now he has to meet his fate, and use his last strength to give those lads a chance to live.

"Lord Grian......"

Fablon only saw that the golden glow of the setting sun began to shine obliquely from the western sky into the east gate of Moonstream Town, stretching the shadow of the stubborn and lonely old paladin for a long time......

————

In the distance, when the battle at the east gate of Mooncreek Town was about to come to an end, little Anne, who seemed to feel a little bored, took her maid Lana to wander through the slightly chaotic streets of Moonbrook Town.

In these places, except for the soldiers of the Difia Kingdom in red robes patrolling and maintaining order, there were no traces of battle, blood, or corpses.

The stragglers of the Western Wilderness People's Army and the security militia of Yuexi Town, who were originally deployed here, didn't know where to go for a long time after discovering that something was wrong!

"My Majesty, when exactly do you plan to return?"

As she walked, Lana, as the queen's lady-in-waiting, asked about this question that she was most concerned about.

In the Flame City of the Flame Kingdom, not only is the fire element scarce now, but also the Queen's Palace is empty, except for some maids who are cleaning, she is the only one left! Therefore, she really hopes that their queen can go back as soon as possible and stop wandering around the world.

"Go back?"

"Forget it, wait two days! When little Vanessa's game of building a house is finished, let's go back and rest for a few days! You may not know that these days when I came to the world of Azeroth, I was busy fighting all day, but I was really tired! ”

For example, the Valley of Thorns, the Land of Fire, Karazan, or the Talenmir Front and the Town of Mooncreek, she has to fight wherever she goes, or just watch others fight, it's not fun at all!

Therefore, the current little Anne really wants to rest for a few days, sleep well for a few days, and don't have to do anything!

（…… ）

“……”

A game of playing house? Lana's cheeks twitched a few times, she felt that if Vanessa heard this kind of statement, then the other party must be very sad and sad, right? You know, this is something Vanessa is determined to fight for all her life, how did it get into the mouth of their queen and become a child's game?

"By the way, Your Majesty, I've always wondered how you got so much gold?"

Of course, Lana has seen the countless amounts of gold that Her Majesty Queen Anne conjured up for Sister Vanessa! She couldn't have imagined that their little queen could really make a large pile of neatly stacked gold ingots with a wave of her hand...... Lana will never forget what a shocking scene it was!

Each piece of gold is at least a big gold ingot weighing more than two thousand pounds, and five people may not be able to lift it together! They just filled the entire huge secret warehouse in the Death Mine, how much money did they have......

Seriously, all that gold, so that Lana, who has lived in the queen's palace for several years and has been living a carefree life, and never treats money as money, has the intention of stealing a dollar or two.

It's a pity that she can't move......

"Haha! Sister Lana, let me tell you quietly: those golds, they are not worth anything at all! ”

"You may not know, I have been to a world where technology is very advanced and developed, and they can all sail freely in the universe!"

"In my Kpopu zone, all that gold, it's really just some ordinary minerals, you can have as much as you want! At that point, I just casually asked them to get me some gold, the more the better! ”

And then ...... Those officials, they brought me an entire spaceship's industrial gold ingots the next day! Combined, they are said to be millions of tons! I couldn't finish a lot of it......"

Anne wasn't lying, because gold ingots or something were really just ordinary minerals in the interstellar world.

After all, the entire universe is so big, and it wouldn't be too easy to find a few metal planets or bonanza planets that are all composed of a single gold element!

In the human kingdom in the Federation of Heroes, things like gold are generally used to make conductive materials! For example, the lines of those wireless transmission terminals, hovering cars, large and small warships, power armor, and even residential buildings have a wide range of applications!

Because gold has good oxidation resistance without treatment, plus ductility and flexibility are very good, ah, it is the same as other metals in the periodic table, whether it is in military or civilian use, the application is very common! In addition, most of the products they dig out are elemental, and in addition to the simple purification and briquetting required for processing, there is no need to refine them as deeply as other oxide metals, so the cost is lower and cheaper, probably the kind that one star coin can buy a ton or two?

Therefore, in the Federation of Heroes, whether it is a large or small spaceship, or in the houses of the citizens of the Federation, you can get dozens of catties out of any deduction and digging, and they are actually like scrap metal, which are all things that no one picks up at all on the side of the road.

"How is it possible, there is still gold worthless? What kind of place is that? ”

If there was such a place, Lana would really want to see it, and then ...... If she could, she would bring several large pockets of space, and when she returned, she might be a rich woman? You can buy countless lands and mines, and you can live a comfortable life without working hard!

"Oops, this thing is very troublesome to explain, I'll talk about it later when I have time!"

Annie really didn't want to talk too much about the matter of the Kphoru region, with Sister Lana, the native of the planet Azeroth. She believed that this stupid guy who had never even been to the Outlands, the concept of alien planets was very vague, and the spells he learned were all quick spells, and he must not be able to understand it!

"Anyway, you just need to know, I have a lot of gold or something! If you want, I'll throw them all out when I get back, and take as much as you like!" ”

Anne has long disliked them for taking up space, but she has never had the opportunity to use them, and it is a pity to lose them.

"Take whatever? This, this...... Is this really possible?! ”

Lana was a little shocked, this is happiness, it just didn't come too suddenly? Take any gold, then she won't miss it! If they were all that big gold ingots, then she would only have to take ten dollars...... No! At least fifty bucks!

And then...... Can you give your brother Pete another fifty dollars?

"Of course you can, whatever!"

"Alright, it's time for a fight! I say...... You bad guys, you've been secretly following us for so long, and now there are very few people here, so are you going to come out and do bad things? ”

Anne suddenly stood still in a clearing, then shouted into the air around her with a grin. The guys who followed her secretly, she had already found out for a long time, and she deliberately went this way.

“！！”

Lana was stunned for a moment, and then, understanding something, she instantly took out the short twelve-inch staff from her cuff and swung it so violently! Having been assassinated several times, of course she knew that the bad guys her Majesty said were definitely those sneaking killers!

“……”

"Broken bones!" "The flames are blazing!"

With her wand in hand, Lana looked around, it was a remote clearing, the surrounding was flat, and she didn't see any enemies in the clearing except for a row of tall trees next to it!

So, without doing anything, she blew up under the trees that she thought were most likely to be hidden, and when she found that no one had been blown out, she simply set a fire to the flames that erupted from the wand head and swept the row of trees over there into flames!

The huge flames that ignited in an instant rose into the air and burned all the way to the branches, making this Yuexi Town, which was originally full of shouts and gunsmoke, once again add an inconspicuous fire field.

"Sister Lana, what are you doing here?"

Anne was a little puzzled, she didn't understand what the other party wanted to do, why did she burn trees and blow up the ground?

"Find out the killers, of course! You may not know it, but in the past few years, there have been many people who like to hide in the shadows to come to me for trouble! ”

Half-squinting, Lana answered Her Majesty's questions as she vigilantly continued to scan her surroundings, and if she spotted an enemy, all sorts of terrible spells would instantly burst out from the head of her wand, ruthlessly destroying them!

This is her effective means of dealing with killers!

It's just that today's enemy may be slightly stronger? Because, the silent manifestation spell she sent just now actually failed......

"But you can't just blow it up like that, can you? What's the use of that? ”

With this level of magic, Anne really doesn't know how the other party has learned spells in the past few years, and she dares to say that she has encountered a lot of assassins in the past few years, so how did she survive until now? Is it luck, or is it just a blast?

"What else can we do? They're going to stealth and stealth, and if I don't force them out, I'm sure there's no good way to get them out of the shadows. ”

"Armor protection!"

Lana, who was speaking, did not let her guard down, since Her Majesty Queen Anne said that there were assassins, then there must have been! Moreover, if she can make herself unable to find out, then those guys must be very capable, and she must be cautious and cautious.

So, under the slight palpitations, she hurriedly cast a talisman spell on herself! Then, in the next moment, it flashed at a sharp dagger from one direction, and was cursed by the armor...... Luckily, she released the spell early, otherwise the dagger would have killed her!

"Okay!"

"Sister Lana, you have to watch over, I will teach you today, how to deal with this kind of enemy when you encounter them!"

Seeing that the other party seemed to be planning to bombard the enemy again and force the enemy out of the shadows, Anne sighed, reached out directly, and snatched the wand from the opponent's hand.

The spells she had taken from the world of Hogwarts, although they were quick spells that had been memorized by rote, would certainly not have a future on the path of magic as the sophisticated arcane mages here in the world of Azeroth...... However, if it can be applied reasonably, there is still no problem in dealing with these enemies like today!

"Be careful, I'm sure I won't use spells that are beyond your level!"

"And I'm going to pretend that I didn't see the bad guys!"

As a mage, knowing the spells you have learned is a basic skill!

And now, seeing that her maid, Sister Lana, has studied for so many years, and is still at the level of half a bucket of water, Anne is a little angry. A mage naturally has to have the grace that belongs to a mage, how can Sister Lana use such a barbaric method of bombarding indiscriminately? If the word is passed on, it is known that she taught it herself, so how embarrassed is she?
