Chapter 139: Little Annie's Adventure in the Southern Continent (2)
Eastern Plaguelands, oh no! Now it is no longer suitable to call it the Eastern Plague Land, because there is no sign of the plague and the undead scourge here, not long after the establishment of the Flame Alliance, the Lordaeron Kingdom and the Flame Kingdom took the lead in cooperating to carry out a large-scale cleanup of the Eastern Plague Land!
Under the dual efforts of the Holy Light of mankind and the fire elementals of the Flame Kingdom who burned them with fire, now, in the original Eastern Plague Land, all the land, forests, or farmland houses that can be seen or suspected to have been contaminated by the plague have all been preliminarily treated by the Holy Light Priest, or directly sent the fire elemental to burn them clean.
Up to now, except for a small number of rivers and lakes that have been polluted and covered with heavy snow, the eastern region, whether it is the territory of the Flame Kingdom north of Lake Blackwood or the occupation area of the Lordaeron Kingdom to the south, has basically been transformed into a habitable environment for living creatures, and a large number of refugees have moved in and began to be assigned to farms in designated areas, preparing for large-scale reclamation and production operations at the beginning of the following spring.
It has been proven that in the world of Azeroth, fire elementals and humans or other creatures can coexist, and here in the Fire Alliance, because fire elemental lifeforms are particularly good at making steel and building houses or fortresses, they quickly enter into various mutual aid contracts with the other three clans.
For example, the fire elementals provide the three clans with crude steel and construction engineering teams, and the three clans supply the flame kingdom with various crops, seafood, or other items that the fire element cannot produce, etc., in this environment, the cooperation between the parties begins to slowly progress, and mutual understanding and contact with each other begins to become more and more frequent.
In this cold winter, whether it is the humans of Lordaeron or the kingdom of Quel'Thalas, which has lost its sunwell, in their eyes, the most popular thing now is not a house made of steel or lava poured as a whole, but a series of seemingly hideous but extremely practical lava dogs!
Ever since one of the humans in the Flame Canyon was the first to bring one of the lava dogs to their homes, the practice quickly became popular! Because, they found that if there was a lava dog at home, they would no longer have to worry about burning the stove in winter, as long as the flame dog was lying on his stomach at home, the temperature in their little house was as warm as spring, and in this icy and snowy season, the warmth was simply like a comfortable enjoyment of the noble lord.
Soon after, the Lava Dogs, which were so numerous that they were uncontrolled and of little use for the time being, began to become in demand. The humans coaxed them into their homes for a winter with all sorts of conditions they could put their hands on, which inadvertently helped the hunter manager Shaturu a lot and made it a lot easier for him to manage the lava dogs.
"Lana, hasn't Her Majesty been back yet?"
After dealing with some miscellaneous political affairs, in the government hall of the queen's palace, the chief steward Shane Knox called the queen's maid Lana. It hadn't seen their Majesty for several days, and she didn't know where she had gone!
And now, this maid Lana, she has been promoted to the female official of the queen's palace, and the entire palace of Nuoda, whether it is sanitation and cleaning or the clothing, food, housing and transportation of other maids, is under her control, and the limelight can be said to be unique for a while. Therefore, if Shane Knox wants to know the whereabouts of the queen, at this time, he still has to ask this little human girl.
"Lord Sir, when the Queen came back the other day, she said she was going to venture into a fun place...... It could take days, and besides, let's not wait for her, if she gets tired of playing, she'll come back on her own......"
Thinking of her own Majesty, the maid Lana also had a headache. Most of the time, no matter how big or small, Her Majesty Queen Anne is out of temperament.
Lana doesn't know what the Queen is going to do in the next moment, and sometimes, at a glance, she may have seen Her Majesty sleeping in bed, but she is likely to disappear in the next moment, and she doesn't know where she has gone!
"Well, well...... If the queen returns, remember to let me know as soon as possible. I'm probably going to have to go back to the Flamelands recently, and if I'm not there then, you can go to the Hunter Commander or the Captain of the Guard! They'll know how to inform me. β
Sighing and shaking his head, Shane Knox didn't bother the human maid anymore, but turned around and left the palace directly.
It still has some things to deal with, recently, those crude fire elements in the Land of Flames have been summoned a lot, at least hundreds of thousands less, presumably, it must be very lively on Kalimdor's side, right? I don't know, what kind of expression will the Burning Legion have when they see the crude fire elemental summoned by the coalition army?
However, none of this is its business now, and Shannox needs to go back to the Flamelands as soon as possible to talk to the Lord of Leolis. Right now, it's hard for people to summon these useless fire elements to consume, but they can't continue to waste resources to produce these overflowing things!
The Archsteward must make that Lord Leolis understand that it is useless to be cautious again, the era of Ragnaros has long been completely over, and now Her Majesty's position is unshakable! Let the old stone man better recognize the facts, and when he is idle, it is best not to toss these useless ghost things out.
"Yes, Your Excellency, Archmaster!"
After seeing the increasingly powerful Fire Demon Grand Administrator slowly move away, Lana breathed a sigh of relief.
The queen has been away lately, but she has been much more relaxed, and she has a lot of free time to practice those spells. Now, she is already a powerful mage who has mastered more than ten kinds of magic, and according to Her Majesty's last statement, she Lana should be at the level of the first grade now! This grade ...... Sounds high, right? I just don't know, this grade is equivalent to an intermediate mage? Or is it a high-level mage?
β¦β¦
When the hard-working fire demon chief Shane Knox wanted to report to their queen majesty but to no avail, in the south of the Eastern Kingdom continent, little Anne was talking to the great explorer Brian? Copperbeard is on great adventures again and again......
At this moment, in the easternmost part of the Northern Thorn Valley, in the ruins of this massive ancient city of trolls, in what those trolls call this Zurghab Sanctuary.
A small group of thousands of trolls that had originally gathered here, and at this moment, most of them were burned into various twisted humanoid char by the flames, and they were scattered on the ground inside and outside the altar...... As for the others, they have long seen that the situation is not good and they have scattered.
And now, in the middle of the trolls' summoning plaza with strange totems and circles, there is a huge flaming giant bear, which is clutching the head of a strange snake with its two paws, pressing the opponent to the ground, and incinerating the opponent's body with the shadow flames on its body. While suppressing the enemy's resistance, it began to continuously absorb the divine power that began to emanate from the opponent's body.
This is, of course, Anne's Tibbs the Bear, and he is very happy today!
Neither it nor Anne could have imagined that these blue-skinned trolls here would summon such a thing. Moreover, this thing turned out to be an animal god in a weakened state, and it seemed that their arrival disturbed the other party's long-standing ritual? Therefore, this allowed Tiebs to clean up in three or two clicks, and began to predatory absorb the other party's original power.
"How so...... I had planned to sneak in and study it, but how did it end up like this...... It's not an adventure at all! β
After a fierce battle, Brian? Copperbeard was now slumped on a pile of rubble, watching as the little fire mage girl Anne and her giant bear beat the snake-like animal god.
In the past few days of exploring with the little girl in front of him, on this road, he Brian? Copper Whisker can be said to have seen all kinds of great excitement that he may not have encountered in his life!
At the beginning, it was this little girl Anne, she insisted on not listening to his kind words and persuasions, and forcibly took away several litters of velociraptor eggs, the number of which must be at least hundreds! Now, it can be said that it has stabbed the super hornet's nest!
With so many eggs lost, how could those velociraptors give up? Even though he Brian did a lot of cleaning up the aftermath, sprinkling the feces of ferocious animals along the way, and smearing the sap of special plants on the two of them in an attempt to hide the smell, in the end, the velociraptors still found them......
So, on the eastern side of the North Thorn Valley, the two of them were frantically pursued by at least a thousand fierce jungle velociraptors! At that time, those red-eyed velociraptors who rushed towards the two of them like crazy regardless of their lives, made Brian now want to fight again, and he probably wouldn't dare to go to that jungle again in his life!
Although at the beginning, the little girl relied on her superb spells to forcibly clean up several waves of raided small groups of velociraptors, and let the two of them harvest and store a lot of jerky, but then it was amazing, after all, velociraptors are a kind of hunting creatures that live in groups!
The rest of the matter is very obvious, under the call of a fierce leader, in the entire area of the velociraptor jungle, there are at least thousands of velociraptors, frantically chasing and intercepting him and the little girl, it is like a large group of cavalry charging and raiding, which Brian will never forget......
In the end, the two of them had to flee frantically all the way east, and only barely escaped the encirclement of the velociraptor group after the little girl used a spell to allow them to successfully escape a river......
Brian? Copperbeard still remembers the original words of the little girl at that time: "I was just afraid that there would be no dragon eggs to eat in the future, so I didn't burn them, otherwise, hum!" β
Originally, Brian? Copperbeard thought that this was just a little girl's unyielding nonsense, and he didn't take it to heart, after the two of them crossed the river, they continued to walk east, he thought that as long as he escaped the catastrophe of the velociraptor dragon, the next journey should be safe and sound, but the result was ......
As a result, along the way, Tarbulene was really too naΓ―ve! Velociraptor is just the beginning...... The thrill of him, known as the greatest dwarven explorer, was earth-shattering!
After crossing the river to avoid the velociraptors, he and the little girl Anne rested for a day before continuing east, and the next day, passing through the territory of a group of gorillas, the little girl, she was unexpectedly idle......
She ran to a large smooth rock and forcibly ate a pile of delicious fruit next to a white gorilla who was sleeping lazily, despite Brian's pleas and persuasions!
You know, those delicious fruits are right under the noses of the gorillas themselves...... How dare she go over and steal food like that? That orangutan is not a good-looking character at first glance, how dare she?
Well, it's okay to steal it, while the gorilla is sleeping, just take it and leave quietly, and there is nothing to think about. But she ...... Even in front of others, they picked and choose, and besides, if they ate it, they still put the delicious ones into their pockets? What is she going to do......
At that time, Brian's little heart, who was watching from a distance, was about to be scared out! Because, he found, the white gorilla, having opened its huge eyes, was staring at the little girl who was happily stuffing fruit into her pocket......
So, naturally, the white gorilla who had been stolen from the food, in anger, roared and chased after the two of them for almost half the forest!
What's worse is that this gorilla is not an ordinary person, and it can even manipulate the power of the earth, so on this way, it can be said that the two of them are jumping and embarrassed!
Whether it was spikes, rocks, falling rocks, and stones the size of a millstone, the white gorilla kept attacking Brian and the little girl until they drove them out of the forest......
What made Brian unbelievable was that at that time, that little girl, she could still laugh? That's a terrible thing...... Hunted down by a rampaging orangutan with the power of the earth, Brian doesn't want to try again!
Brian doesn't even want to remember the rest of the story......
While passing through a hill, the little girl, naturally, she died again, and went to catch a beautiful little bobcat to play with as a pet?
At that time, Brian didn't want to warn her, because he knew that in the wild, grabbing a cub of a large animal to play with it would never end well!
Sure enough, they were soon chased by a huge yellow-white mountain leopard with red eyes and a clear body spewing fireballs, and it was not until the little girl had enough to play and let go of her cub that it reluctantly let go of the two and hurried away with the cub in its mouth.
Finally, while crossing another big river and walking on the beach, Brian's fears happen again: the little girl Annie, who has gone crazy, can't help but run to the beach and pick up the crocodile eggs?
So, naturally, the two of them were chased by a huge gray-black ancient crocodile like a house that emerged from the river and almost drove them off the river! And it was also bombarded indiscriminately by the opponent's various water magic, and it turned out to be a powerful demonic beast with the power of flowing water!
Although, in the end, the big crocodile was killed by the little girl after she began to fight back and became a meal for the two of them, but during this period, the fright he Brian received was definitely not something that could be explained in half a word!
At the end of the day, when the two of them finally reached the ruins gate of the Troll Sanctuary, Brian thought that the little girl should be able to stop a little, and the last thing he wanted to see happened......
Originally, Brian was just going to sneak into the ancient city of trolls to find out the situation, in addition to exploring the terrain, by the way, he could also study the ancient culture of the trolls, other than that, he didn't plan to do too much, so as not to disturb the trolls entrenched here, but the result was ......
While Brian was about to figure out how to sneak into this ruin, the little girl, she actually walked in through the main entrance in such a big way?
Then, not surprisingly, the two of them immediately had to fight with a small group of trolls entrenched here. Copperbeard was stunned......
What about a good ruins to explore? What about sneaking in? Why don't you go in and study it and run away? Your Annie's approach, this is completely hard, this is completely just going straight in, okay?
Brian can't even remember what happened next, why did it happen like this?
Starting from the gate of the ruins, he had forgotten the original purpose of coming here, but he was forced to pick up the axe and musket, and accompanied the little girl all the way to go crazy and hit it directly...... Moreover, it's amazing that they even fought all the way to this troll's summoning square, and then, he, who has never been very good at fighting, was unscathed during the period? And killed a lot of evil forest trolls?
By the time Brian had cleared his mind and calmed down completely, things had turned out to be the way she was headed: this little girl, she summoned a powerful flame shadow giant bear, and in three or two clicks, she pinned the evil god called Aka to the ground and killed them, constantly absorbing the power of the other party.
It's the one in front of me now, the huge, burning giant bear, it was originally an inconspicuous toy that was grabbed by a little girl, anyway, Brian always thought it was an ordinary toy!
But now, it was clutching a serpentine monster with hideous fangs and mantis-like sickle-like shins, and it was constantly drawing the power of the other party, and after a while, when the monster had drained all its power, the flames on its body were quickly burned to ashes......
"How so? I really just wanted to come in and explore...... How did it turn into a fight? β
Brian, who rested for a while and finally came to his senses? Copperbeard felt that he could no longer "explore" like this!
Because, this is not an adventure at all, this is a play with life! It's all kinds of death! It's not the same as adventure! As long as this little girl is still by his side, sooner or later, he will be killed by her mess, he will definitely be!
He Brian is just an adventure lover, he likes to study monuments, study the traditions and cultures of various races, instead of fighting around like an adventurer or a warrior like he is now, and then die in a different way! This has already gone against the original purpose of his expedition, and thinking about the experience of the previous few days, Brian feels that this matter cannot go on like this, this matter must be closed!
"Annie! I think we should part ways. You are a powerful mage, and I just want to do my research and investigation quietly, I can't play with you like this anymore, because it's not good for my research! β
Shaking his head, Brian quickly cleaned up the blood from his body and began to put his musket and backpack in order, he needed to quietly get out of here and continue his expedition before the troll reinforcements arrived.
"Huh? But I haven't had enough yet...... You're leaving? β
In the past few days, she has had a lot of fun exploring with this bearded dwarf uncle, and Anne is a little reluctant for a while.
The bearded dwarf seemed interesting to Anne, he knew a lot about the world of Azeroth, he could recognize many delicious wild fruits and plants in the wild, he could cook many delicious things, and he knew a lot of strange animal knowledge.
"I'm sorry, little Annie, but we have to part ways! I will write into my biography that I met you and the days I spent with you, you are a funny little guy and I am glad to meet you! β
Brian began to load his backpack and salute one by one, as an explorer, he must have carried a lot of things, all kinds of equipment and sundries.
"Still, I guess, we're really going to say goodbye. In any case, although the process of these days is very amazing, we still complete our expedition, and this is the end of our expedition. So, I'm going to continue my research and mission, and it's time for you to go home. β
Brian can't stand this little girl anymore, she is not a qualified explorer at all, just a little guy who relies on the power of his spells and acts recklessly, and, along the way, Brian has not seen how powerful this little girl is, presumably, she is just a high-level mage.
There are so many powerful things in this Azeroth world, and if this continues, there will always be a time when the two of them will fall into trouble! Just now, the huge snake-shaped monster summoned by those trolls, if it weren't for the fact that this little girl had a powerful summoned beast, I'm afraid the two of them would have to confess here, right?
Brian still couldn't see Little Anne's true strength, so he felt that it was time for the two of them to say goodbye, whether it was for his own good or for the good of the other party. Anyway, they've had a fun adventure together, let's think it's an adventure...... He will definitely write this experience into his biography and send it back.
"Okay then...... If you run into it next time, I'll play with you again! β
Anne counted the time, and it seemed that she had been out for several days...... It seems that it is time to go back and stay at home...... Oh no, it's time for a good rest.
"That's right! Your family lives in the north, right? If you're going back, there's a treasure bay to the north, and it's a city of greedy goblins, and if you want to go anywhere, be careful, there's no good thing! β
As soon as he said that, Brian picked up his axe and was about to turn around and leave, but before he was about to turn around and leave, he thought about it and turned his head again.
"Or, you can go a little further north to Stormwind, which is a huge white rock city on the western coast of the Elwyn Forest, and it's easy to recognize! Perhaps, it would be safer for you to go there to repair, after all, it is the royal capital of the Human Stormwind Kingdom. β
Brian glanced at the giant flame bear again, and stopped talking, as if he didn't have to worry about her safety, right? After all, she's such a powerful pet!
"Well, I'm sure no one will dare to bully you. So, we'll say goodbye here, little Annie, and it's nice to meet you on your journey with such a funny little human girl. β
After getting along in the past few days, Brian knows this little girl better.
This human imp is very cunning! Moreover, she has never been willing to suffer, and now that she is protected by such a powerful flame giant bear by her side, she should hurry up and leave this holy place before the trolls come to their senses.
"Okay then...... Goodbye, Uncle Brian! I'm glad to meet you, too! β
Anyway, I've almost had enough, and after watching the other party disappear into the distance, when she was about to teleport away herself, she suddenly felt that it seemed that she should go to that stormwind city to play? That's right, that's a happy decision!
β¦β¦
Wild West, outside of this notorious mine of death for Stormwind, the king of Stormwind, Varian? Wrynn, at this moment, is here with some of the elite Royal Guards of Stormwind and the Legionnaires of the Kingdom who were originally intended to be sent to the Burning Plains.
A few days ago, after hearing that the Phidia Brotherhood had come out to make trouble and burn and loot, Varian, who was distraught, was so angry that he threw off those annoying government affairs and led a part of the royal guard out of the city alone.
But as a result, scattered and scattered, the more Varian thought about this Fedia Brotherhood, the more troubled he became, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he felt!
Plus, he remembered the riot started by the Masons' Guild, and it was their thugs who threw stones at the head of his beloved queen Tiffin, killing her quickly......
Now, when he thinks of Queen Tiffin who died tragically at the hands of the unreasonable thugs, and when he thinks of Anduin, who lost his mother at a young age, Varian's chest is instantly filled with anger!
He felt that, as a king, he could no longer tolerate those thugs making such unscrupulous trouble! The matter of the Masons' Union riot, no matter who is wrong or right, the dignity of the Stormwind Kingdom absolutely does not allow offense! He must bring that Van Cleeff thug back to justice and put an end to the turmoil once and for all!
Even if it is a wrong war, even if it is destined to carry the stigma of dishonor, then it is up to him Varian to bear it! It's time to put an end to all of this!
Therefore, not long after leaving the city, Varian was so angry that he simply hid from everyone, and in the name of safari, he directly transferred the soldiers who were still stationed outside the city and originally planned to be sent to the Burning Plains. Then, together with the elite royal guards, he led them straight to the mines of death in the western wilderness.
Along the way, Varian and his elite soldiers routed all of the Defia Brotherhood members who tried to gather, killing a large number of thugs wearing the Brotherhood emblem and dispersing many of their camps. In this way, they swooped down on each other's lair, the gates of the Death Mine.
β¦β¦
"Soldiers! I think you all should know who are entrenched in this mine! β
Varian rode slowly to the front of the army formation, and after staring intently at the faces of the soldiers, he began to make the final mobilization before the battle.
In fact, he also knew that some of these soldiers might still have doubts about what he was doing today...... But, today, he had to do it, it had come to this, and whether it was right or wrong, he had to bring it to a happy end!
"That's right! As you know, they are the former Masons' Guild guys! That's right, our Storm Kingdom does owe them a lot of money, but everyone must know the situation at that time! β
Varian paused, began to remember what had happened, and then he continued.
"At that time, the Stormwind Kingdom was just beginning to recover, and everything was waiting to be rebuilt...... Whether it's refugees who have survived the orc blades or residents who have just returned from South Seatown, they need to be properly accommodated...... At that time, it was the weakest and most difficult time for our Stormwind Kingdom, so, at that time, we had to choose to owe them their wages......"
At this, Varian gasped again, as if remembering something very bad, and a certain touch began to appear in his eyes, but soon became firm again.
"Everyone must know about the riot at that time! That's right, at that time, their stonemasons' guild chose the most shameless riot regardless of the overall situation! It was then that your Queen Tiffany, my wife...... She also died tragically in the riots...... However, I didn't pursue them too much at the time, and just banished them from Stormwind......"
"But I'm afraid you've all seen how they responded to our kindness. Again and again, they rebelled, raided caravans and farmsteads, robbed, kidnapped, murdered, and did nothing wrong! β
"So, soldiers, today everything will come to an end! The matter of the Masons' Union, no matter who is wrong or who is right, no longer matters! Because, after today, everything will come to a successful end! All of this will come to an end today! β
Varian jerked out the sword at his waist, then swung it hard at the gates of the Death Mine.
"Soldiers, attack!"
"Drink !!"
After hearing the king's order, all the soldiers of the Stormwind Kingdom pulled down their masks one after another, and after shouting, they were red-eyed, panting, lined up in a strict formation, and began to press directly towards the dumping square of the Death Mine.
Their King Varian was right, and by now, it didn't matter what was right or wrong.
From the moment the stonemasons chose to rebel with arms, there was no room for mitigation for the Kingdom of Stormwind and their thugs!
Now, it's time to put an end to all this!
When they pressed forward with their thick armor and neat formation, they saw the villains with masked scarves and daggers inside, as well as those frightened and frightened eyes......
"Kill !!"
If you knew today, why bother in the first place? The soldiers knew that from now on, there would be no more Defia Brotherhood in the Kingdom of Stormwind......
