Chapter 0969: Bloody ☼ Battle of Dalong County (1). ☼

Talonshire ......

It was originally a hidden town in the southern mountains of Lordaeron, named after the huge, unsightly Dalon Mill Lake to the west, where the inhabitants of the town were simple and industrious, and lived a rich life of fishing, hunting and growing crops for generations.

Originally, Talon County was not very important here in the Kingdom of Lordaeron, and compared to the main transportation route connecting the four parts of the kingdom, the Korin junction north of Lake Miradar, and the pearl of Stansom, Daron County was just a small village hidden in the mountains by Lake Daron Mill.

But today, it is worth letting the leader of the Knights of the Silver Hand, Uther Lightbringer and his more than a thousand elite paladins travel thousands of miles to its aid!

Because Uther received Joseph, the paladin of Talon County. Redpass and Davey. Croford's joint message to him asking for help:

'Uther......

Wave after wave of undead forces are coming at us, and the warriors of Talon can only fight them with the most basic fortifications. The local militia led by Redpass, although I also brought a lot of cavalry and followers, the undead attack was still too fierce......

They are endless, and they are tireless......

We've found out that there's a terrible ghoul, Hoggus the Marauder! It has arrived in Talon County with its terrible undead, we don't know if we can defeat them, we don't know how long we can hold out, and if we can, we need your support!

——Dawei. Croford'

Of course, the above information was heard and inquired by Hermione, Harry, and Fleur when they were following the Uther Paladin and this large group of paladins with the Silver Hand in the past two days, and the paladins who were busy on the way did not pay much attention to their 'quasi-captive' wizards, and generously informed them of their destination!

However, there is only so much they know, and more cannot be asked for the time being......

Therefore, at this time, the three of them, who had nothing to do and stayed in the carriage all day and marched with the large army, knew that they had eaten and slept enough, and woke up to eat, so it was natural that while the cavalry were temporarily resting and stationing, they chatted with the little boy Timmy.

‘……’

'Sister Hermione, when the hell are you going to take me to Danielle and my mom?' ’

Yes, little Timmy was really worried now, because it had been two or three days, and Sister Hermione and the others didn't look like they were going to take him to find him, and if they didn't hurry, his mother would definitely spank him again, and she would have slapped him with a rolling pin.

The last time he went out and was captured by the gnolls, he was beaten up shortly after he was rescued by the Prince of Arthas, and now he still remembers it very well!

"Well...... this"

Hermione was a little embarrassed, and she didn't know how to explain it to the other party, so she had to look at Harry and Fleur on the side for help.

However, the two of them didn't know whether they were discussing some spell-casting techniques or some kind of love words, which made Hermione stare at the two of them resentfully, and had to reluctantly turn back to look at a certain little boy, Timmy.

"Timmy, now we're going to follow those paladin uncles to Talon County, and when we defeat the villains besieging Talon County, we'll definitely help you find your mother!"

"It's a rare adventure, don't you like it?"

Although Hermione didn't know which woman and little girl were the mother and Danielle who were lying in the pool of blood that day, Hermione knew that the little boy would never and would never find them again......

She now has no other way than to continue to appease and conceal the truth of the truth, and not let the other party know the cruel truth. Perhaps, time can make the other party gradually forget everything, wait until a few years later, wait until the other party grows up, or completely seal it in the depths of memory, right?

It's like a certain Harry, who also lost his father and mother, and grew up with a mean relative, but isn't he still in the mood to talk to Fleur in this dangerous world, where he still thinks about some sad things?

Thinking of this, Hermione couldn't help but stare at a certain two dog men and women next to her who were snuggling together, not knowing when they hooked up...... Well, the words 'dog man and woman' really shouldn't have come to her head, because it didn't make any sense, after all, she Hermione Granger didn't like Harry, they were just friends, shouldn't they be allowed to like someone else?

So

She thought she might as well keep chatting with her little Timmy, and then think about more important things like her wandless spellcasting skills when she had time! Anyway, they don't have a wand with them now, and it's always good to think of more means and methods to protect themselves.

It's a pity that Sister Gianna is not here now, otherwise, she would definitely use her magic book to ask the other party for advice.

‘!! ’

"Huh?"

Just as they were about to continue to reassure little Timmy and make sure that they were not in a hurry to find each other's mother and Danielle all day, Hermione suddenly saw an uncle with a giant hammer on his back, but with a shiny 'Mediterranean' hairstyle and a thick beard, walk up to them and stand still.

"Uncle Paladin, is there anything wrong with you?"

There was no doubt that the other party must have come to look for them, so, without waiting for the other party to speak, Hermione first patted Timmie on the shoulder to tell the other party not to mess around, then stood up and asked.

"Hello!"

"Wizards, I've heard that some of you can cast that kind of teleportation spell, is that true?"

Uncle Paladin, who had a Mediterranean hairstyle, hesitated for a moment after looking at the three little wizards in front of him, before turning his gaze to the eldest Fleur and the wizard, and he felt that if these people really could, maybe only those two would be the most likely to help them solve their current troubles?

"Legendary spells?"

"Hermione?"

Fleur and Harry, who had basically fully recovered, turned their heads directly to look at Hermione, it was obvious that among the three, she was the only one who could freely apparition, and even lead people to apparition!

And although Harry and Fleur can use the illusion spell, they must not dare to use it lightly, because none of them want to find that some parts of their body have not fully reached their destination after casting the spell!

And if that kind of thing really happens in this world at this time, it will definitely be fatal, and the consequences will be too terrible, which is not what the two of them want.

"...... so"

"Will you?"

Seeing the expressions and gaze of the two people, the Mediterranean Paladin still didn't know what the two meant? So, he turned his head in a little surprise, and asked the little witch who was about fourteen or fifteen years old with a smile.

"Yes!"

"But I'll correct one thing: it's not a teleportation spell, it's 'Apparition'! But basically, it's about the same thing as teleportation spells, and it's a quick way to get from one place to another anyway. ”

Hermione lifted her chin a little haughtily and explained slightly.

Because, so far, among her, Harry, and Fleur, Hermione herself can use apparition at will, and she has become more and more proficient and handy, which many seventh-year students or adult wizards can't do, not to mention, she is only in the fourth year this year, and she is only fourteen years old.

"You ......"

After seeing the other person nodding and hearing those explanations, the paladin's expression became a little more relaxed, and then he asked with some hesitation.

Obviously, although he knew that their team had 'caught' three wizards with suspicious appearances who could not be identified for the time being, he did not know the names of these three people, so he always needed to ask.

"Uncle Paladin!"

"My name is Hermione, Hermione Granger! Fourth-year students from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, we are really friends of your Royal Highness Prince Alsace, why don't you hurry up and return our wands to us? ”

Seeing the other party's inquiring eyes, Hermione introduced herself while still not forgetting to reiterate their position again, showing that the treatment of the three of them now is extremely unfair! So, she wants to get her wand back and wants to be treated a little better!

Especially their companion Fleur, although the other party's body has almost recovered now, if there is a better treatment, the other party will definitely recover a little better.

"Good!"

"This Granger wizard, if it's all right, please come with me, our Lord Uther, the leader of the Silver Hand, is waiting for you, perhaps, it's time for you to prove yourself."

With that, Uncle Paladin, who had a Mediterranean hairstyle, turned around and walked away, waving his hand behind him, signaling a certain little witch to follow him.

“!!”

"Wait! May I ask, what the hell is going on? ”

Hermione blinked in a daze, and just as she was about to step forward with the other party, she suddenly stopped again, wanting to ask before deciding whether to go or not.

Besides, she'd already said their identities more than once, and she had never deceived them, but these stubborn paladins didn't want to believe it!

“……”

"I'm sure you've heard about it, but today the messenger has flown in again, and he says that the war on the Talonshire side is now urgent, and that it has reached a very dangerous juncture, and even if we are all cavalry, we may not be able to catch up with it in a short time...... Daron County needs support now, the sooner the better, so Lord Uther may need to use the power of your wizards! ”

"If you can help, it will definitely help improve your current situation, won't it?"

After saying that, Uncle Paladin didn't say anything more, just urged the other party with his eyes, because their time was indeed running out, even if they had traveled day and night in the past two days, but they were still far away from heresy, and there were constantly small groups of undead on the road, no matter how fast they were, they couldn't go there.

Moreover, such a long run was also a great load for their war horses, and it was impossible for them not to think about it.

"I see, I see, please lead the way!!"

Nodding, although Hermione was eager to tell the other party: her apparition was not very proficient, and the number of people she could bring was extremely limited...... However, after thinking about it, she felt that she had better see that even if she couldn't help, it wasn't a bad thing to go and meet with that Uther, so she didn't say it directly.

‘!! ’

'Hermione? ’

Seeing that Hermione was about to leave with the paladin, Harry and Fleur couldn't help but shout with some concern.

"Don't worry!"

"Harry, and Fleur, you can take care of little Timmy, I'll go see if I can help first, right?"

With that, without waiting for the two of them to say anything more, Hermione hurried forward, following behind the paladin uncle who was wearing heavy plate armor but could stride forward like no one else, towards the front of the temporary camp.

————————————

Here at Hogwarts Castle, the daily life, learning, and entertainment of the teachers and students continue, and it doesn't stop because of anything.

It's just that the teachers and students of the school complained a little: due to the nosy behavior of some annoying paladins, they watched the boring march for two days, and there was no longer a chance to continue to watch the three warriors continue their wonderful adventures in the kingdom of Lordaeron......

So, in the case of not wanting to be in a daze at some boring 'screen', it is rare that there are now a lot of students frolicking in Hogwarts castles, the campus grass around the castle, the Quidditch pitch, the broom shed, etc., which finally makes this school have some due vitality all day long.

This is not?

In the midst of boredom, on the edge of the Black Lake in front of Hogwarts Castle, on the shore of this reed-covered lake that not many people paid attention to, a little girl finally succeeded in catching a certain abominable ghost and restraining him to her.

"Hi~!"

(?????? ▽??????)

"Peeves, is there anything else you'd like to say now? If so, you can say it now, although people won't necessarily listen to it......"

o(*^▽^*)o~??

Now, this abominable little ghost is already in the palm of her Professor Anne's hand, so how to concoct or teach the other party has become her most basic right!

Therefore, what she just said was just a polite remark, but she must not take it seriously, because no matter how the other party begged for mercy, cried, or reasoned, it was useless, and she would definitely not listen.

'No ......'

'Professor Annie! It's all a misunderstanding, really! It's all a misunderstanding, I swear in the name of Barrow the Bloody, what I say is true! ’

'That's all a misunderstanding, it really wasn't intentional, please believe me!!' ’

Unexpectedly, day and night, its wise and martial Peeves would be caught by the other party here by the edge of the Black Lake...... It seems that it shouldn't leave the castle today, after all, in the castle, there are corridors, spiral stairs, complex classrooms and various secret rooms, that is its Peeves' home field, and here outside, there is still a little bit of space.

Therefore, seeing that the situation was a little not good, and seeing that the situation was stronger than people, the good ghost did not eat the loss in front of him, so he began to deny it, and at the same time kept begging for mercy.

'I swear, I don't dare again, I beg the professor to raise your noble hand and spare the little one, right?' ’

'As long as you spare the little one, tomorrow ...... No, tonight, the little one is going to get Filch's cat and make you a soup to drink!! ’

Begging for mercy is not enough, Peeves, who feels that he must give some necessary bribes to some evil little girl to get out, begins to swear and use other people's cats as bargaining chips in exchange for his own freedom.

If it could really get out, it was doubtful whether it would actually catch a cat named Lady Loris tonight......

“……”

(lll¬ω¬)

Little Anne doesn't want to eat cat meat or something now, she has recently been satisfied with the serious food in the Hogwarts canteen, because the house-elves in the castle will give her a special meal every time, so she thinks it would be a good idea to teach Peeves a hard lesson, so that the other party has no more mood and time to go to the school kitchen to mess around and litter cabbage and eggs?

Anyway, the other party will definitely not know that she, Professor Annie, has already been bought by the house-elves!

(…… )

(● ̄(??)  ̄●)

"Say it!"

(???? ω????)

"Peeves, you're definitely not going to be able to run away today, what kind of fate do you want?"

?? (?? `▽????) ╭??

Pulling out a reed in her hand and constantly playing with the other party's little Anne with that kind of leaf, she is now beginning to think, what do you have to do to clean up the other party fiercely?

‘!! ’

'Professor Annie, I want an immediate release!!' ’

Seeing the other party's malicious expression and eyes, Peeves hurriedly pretended to be serious and said.

“……”

(?? _??)

‘……’

'Dear Professor, do I have any other choice?' ’

When he saw the other party's expression becoming more and more ugly, Peeves quickly changed the previous hippie smile and asked seriously.

"Absolutely!"

(?? ╭╮?? )

"You can choose to be hung on the very top of Hogwarts, in Pankin's bathroom, and of course, you can choose to be sunk into the Black Lagoon......"

"As for the time, at least three months!"

?? (????????????)??

For a certain Peeves who chose to provoke himself several times and seriously threatened the house-elves to make food for him, its fate was already doomed.

'That ......'

'Dear Professor Anne, do you really have to do that?' ’

Peeves is still a little lucky, as if he wants to get better 'treatment' or punishment?

"Of course!!"

o(?? ^`)o

‘!! ’

'Then Professor Anne, I choose to be hung in the castle's auditorium, please do it, the little one will definitely not resent you!!' ’

His eyes rolled, and Peeves immediately shouted, and pretended to be righteous and awe-inspiring, and chose a place for himself to be imprisoned and punished.

“……”

(°ー°〃)

Little Anne didn't speak, but her hand froze directly in mid-air, as if she was angry with some hateful ghost that didn't change?

(…… )

(● ̄(??)  ̄●; )

'Is that okay?' ’

Pievi asked apprehensively, thinking that if it were to be hung in the Great Hall of Hogwarts Castle, even if it was hung for three months or more, it would definitely not be too lonely.

"No!!"

o(`^??) o Hmph!

As soon as he stretched out his hand, a lucky and unchanging Peeves magic rope was trapped on the barrel of a rusty cannon that had been fished out of the bottom of the lake by a spell from Little Anne.

‘!! ’

'You despicable little girl! Enemies of the Forbidden Forest! Villains of the Black Lagoon! The little butcher who kills animals! The culprit who eats Pegasus! Herb thief in the school greenhouse! Destroyer of the Crucible! The mastermind behind the smuggling gang! Hurry up and let me go! ’

'I will report you to Lady Maxime, to Dumbledore, to Hagrid, to Professor Pomona Sprout, to the Ministry of Magic, I swear!!' ’

'I'm going to ......'

'Wow~!! ’

Poof!

Peeves didn't finish his words, and with a scream and the sound of falling water, the whole world suddenly became clear......

Actually, little Anne originally just wanted to throw the other party to the lightning rod at the top of Hogwarts Castle for three or five days...... But now, she didn't even think about it, so she directly sank the other party to the bottom of the lake to stare at those fishmen, and also set up the kind of prohibition that will only be automatically lifted when she leaves this world to play in other planes!

"You threaten me, now you know it's wrong, right?"

ε=(?? ˇεˇ????))) Bah!

Although, Anne also knew that a certain Peeves who had sunk to the bottom of the lake dozens of meters deep would definitely not be able to hear the sound of the lake, but she still spat at the lake fiercely in disgust, let Hou clapped her hands, and prepared to leave the scene of the tragedy.

(…… )

(lll¬?? ¬)

"Ahem......"

"Professor Annie, I just saw that you threw that Peeves guy into the lake?!"

At this time, little Annie, who was just about to leave, suddenly saw a bad old man who was walking towards this side with a happy smile.

“……”

(ー`?? ー)

"So what? Dumbledore, weird old man, what are you so nervous about, it's just an abominable ghost, thrown into the water and soaked and drowned!! ”

s(?? `ヘ????; )ゞ

Seeing that it was the other party, little Annie, who thought that a bad old man who came over would be nosy, hurriedly crossed her waist and stopped directly in front of the other party, indicating her attitude of punishing Peeves and not allowing others to interfere.

Of course, if there is any other reason, then she will definitely not tell the other party.

"That's right!"

Dumbledore nodded, apparently he hadn't just heard the furious threatening words that Peeves uttered in a hurry due to distance and age, otherwise his expression would not have been so relaxed now.

"But ......"

"Well, Annie, don't be nervous, I'm just going to ask when I see it, and it's better to punish that Peeves a little bit, so that he doesn't have to mess around the castle all day, then I'll leave it alone."

After thinking about it, Dumbledore, who didn't think it was a big deal to throw a ghost into the lake, had to compromise and exclaimed, not going to bother with that kind of chore.

After all, he could have waited until the little girl left, and then cast a spell to get the poor ghost out of the middle of the lake, and that wasn't too important.

"That's right!"

"Annie, I just saw the students running in the direction of the Great Hall, as if to say there are wonderful images to see, are you really not going to look at them?"

Walking to the lake, with a hint of schadenfreude or pity, he looked at the sparkling lake in the middle of the lake in the distance, and made sure that he couldn't see any Peeves here, and he couldn't hear the other party's voice, before Dumbledore turned to the little girl.

The weather was fine today, the wind by the lake was lazy, and Dumbledore wouldn't have wanted to go back to the castle so soon if it weren't for some reason.

“??”

∑(?? △`)?!

"But aren't they on the march?"

(?????????? )

"It's always been like that, sitting in the carriage or resting and sleeping, or chatting and talking, and at their speed it might be two or three days away from that Talon County, so what's the point of seeing?!"

(???? ω????)

At this point, little Anne suddenly regretted that she had thrown that playful Peeves into the middle of the lake so quickly...... If she had known, she should have teased the other party for two days and then threw it away, in that case, she might not have been too bored?

"Oh?"

"Professor Annie, it seems that you are familiar with the kingdom of Lordaeron and the world of Azeroth?"

Dumbledore looked at the little girl in front of him with meaningful eyes, and his tone and expression tried to pretend to be that curious and amazed.

"Of course!"

?? (????????)??

"People's Flame Kingdom and Flame Alliance are in Azeroth, and people have been in that world for a long time, can you not be familiar with them?"

o(*?? ︶?? *)o

Subconsciously, little Anne directly said something......

“!!”

!? (??''????)??

"Old man Dumbledore, you're trying to trick me?!"

?? (?????? ~????) ╭??

Soon, Anne, who reacted, found out: She had just accidentally said something by herself? But fortunately, she didn't say that the timeline that Hermione was in was not the one she had been to, not the one she imagined, thrown directly into her world, but another timeline that she grabbed and transformed.

However, she will definitely not continue to talk about that kind of awkward thing, because ah, this old man is a thief and a thief, and he even knows how to run to take advantage of his unpreparedness to set his own words, which is really unreasonable!

"Hehe......"

"Professor Annie, I didn't ask anything, you just said it yourself."

Having said that, Dumbledore had already secretly memorized what the other party had said, and had finally been completely sure of something! However, Dumbledore felt sorry for hermione, who were now hanging out with a bunch of useless paladins, and he wasn't interested in the lights or anything, which was something the church needed to focus on!

He just wanted Hermione to continue communicating with that Gianna mage right now......

Of course, it would be better if they could visit the magical kingdom of Dalaran that they had accidentally talked about in their conversation!

Or, if he had the chance, he Dumbledore could find a way to fool this little girl and let himself go to that kingdom of Lordaeron, to Dalaran, to Quel'Thalas to have a good look? In that case, he must have died without regrets, right?

"You!!"

s (???? ˇεˇ????) ゞ

"Humph! People won't tell you anymore!! ”

(?? ╭╮?? )

I don't plan to leak more, so I can't help but give the other party a forgetting curse, and the little Anne just turned around and left.

She was going to look outside Hogsmeade now to see if there was anything interesting or good to eat, and she didn't want to stay with some bad old man anyway!

“??”

"Professor Annie, are you really not going to go to the Great Hall?"

Seeing the other party leave the lake and walk in the direction of Hogsmeade outside the school to the west, Dumbledore couldn't help but be a little curious, and then couldn't help but ask.

"Don't go! What's so nice about that? ”

?? (????????)??

Little Anne was sure that the paladins had been riding to Talon for a long time, so she planned to play her own game first, and it would not be too late to go back to see the highlights when she got to the highlights.

“……”

"Well, if you don't go, don't go, but I'm going to go, old man...... Because the students said that Hermione was going to use the apparition to take the paladins to that city of 'Garonshire' to participate in the battle against the undead? ”

"I don't know if they have a ..... to set off now."

Dumbledore shook his head pretending to walk in the direction of the castle as he said in a voice that would make sure the little girl could hear.

“!!”

???? (??????????????)????????

"It's not 'Garonshire', it's 'Talonshire'! And Tarong County is not a city, it is just a small village with less than two or three thousand people!! ”

?? (???????? ε??????????))) Σ≡=─

Finally, a little girl who had just walked a dozen steps away, after hearing the words of a bad old man and standing still, suddenly turned back to the ground, and after hurriedly explaining this to the other party, she directly spread her feet, carried her little bear, and galloped in the direction of the castle, and soon left a certain bad old man behind her.

(…… )

(lll¬?? ¬)

“……”

Scold!

Dumbledore, who was following behind, shook his head, but he didn't say anything, just sighed and pondered in his heart, and then quickly quickened his pace and walked towards the castle.

Because if you go late, you may not have to watch it, after all, no one has to record and save that 'video', and they won't give Dumbledore the right to 'rewind' or pause just because he is the headmaster.

As for a certain Peeves who was sunk in the lake, he chose to forget about it for a while......

Anyway, a ghost or something, if you sink to the bottom of the lake, you won't die!

Besides, they've already died once, and if they are thrown into the water, they won't be allowed to die a second time! So, that kind of thing, after he watched the wonderful movie, if he remembered, then he Dumbledore would definitely come back and pick up that poor Peeves.

——————————

Hermione's place was not very far from the camp of Uther and other high-ranking paladins, so soon, she was led by the Mediterranean knight uncle who led the way, and came to the camp that was very conspicuous and was being guarded by two paladins who were waiting for her, and clearly heard some fierce quarrels coming from inside:

‘……’

'It's at least a day or so away from Talonshire, and we'll be there the next morning......

'More than a day? ’

They won't last that long! They were already in danger when I flew in, the undead had invaded the interior of Talon County several times, you had to hurry up and support them!! ’

'I'm afraid not......

'Our cavalry is not as fast as your planes, and our horses need rest and food, unless you have something else to do?' ’

‘!! ’

'No! I can't help it! My friend! ’

'You paladins and armor are too heavy for my planes to carry any of them, not to mention that you still have so many war horses, and I don't have thousands of planes, I'll just have one!' ’

'Then it would take at least dozens of large airships to carry you, and there aren't that many airships in Booty Bay, unless you let me place an order now?!' ’

'But I only accept cash, I don't need any collateral, and I won't be able to deliver it until at least a year later!!' ’

‘……’

'That's a pity, we'll have to see if our wizard has another way......

'Wizard?! ’

'Lord Uther, I have seen the most despicable wizards I have seen, and they are worse than you can imagine! If I see them again, I'll be ......'

“!!”

Hermione, who had walked outside the tent, suddenly stopped, and she didn't even dare to eavesdrop...... Because, she seems to have heard His Excellency the Paladin Uther, they are talking to her who seems to be a little familiar, the owner of that sharp voice?!

Then, inevitably, her face turned pale and she remembered something very bad and the least she wanted to face.

“??”

"What's the matter, Wizard Glenger, why can't you come?"

Grabbing the curtain of the tent, the Mediterranean paladin, who was about to enter, noticed the hesitation of the little witch behind him, and couldn't help but turn around curiously and greet the other party.

He had heard the argument between Lord Uther and the messenger just now, so he felt that if the little witch behind him could help, it would be better to hurry, because the military situation was urgent, and the crisis in Daronshire was imminent.

"Huh?"

"No, nothing! Sorry, I just thought about something......"

There was no way, Hermione, who would definitely not be able to retreat now, could only bite the bullet and follow the other party in. After all, there are some things that you always have to face sooner or later, don't you?

However, she only hoped that things wouldn't be as bad as she thought they were, or that she had just misheard?

‘!! ’

“!!”

However, as soon as she stepped into the tent and saw a familiar little green man and made eye contact with the other's eyes, Hermione knew that things were going in the direction she least wanted to see.

"Ahh

"You despicable thief! Filthy wizard! Shameful liar! Cheap thief!! ”

"You, you return my goods and bags!!"

In the next second, of course, a certain little green man directly copied the dagger on his waist, ignoring the astonishment of the surrounding paladins, and directly shouted and flew towards a witch who had just walked in!!

“!!”

There are many obstacles!!

After discovering that the other party was indeed the one he least wanted to see, so, subconsciously, a silent and wandless spell that had been prepared for a long time was waved by Hermione, and directly swung it and beautifully knocked the vicious goblin who was copying out the knife and preparing to fight with her.

'Wow~! ’

Rosa the goblin screamed and flew upside down......

However, fortunately there was the paladin Uther behind it, so before it could break through the tent and roll outside, it was firmly grasped by a large strong hand.

"Can anyone tell me ......"

"What the hell is going on?!"

Gently lowering the messenger in his hand, Uther and the other paladins viciously surrounded the little witch who had attacked the messenger as she entered.

Obviously, from the messenger from Daronshire, from the goblin's attitude towards the little witch, they had some bad conjectures...... Therefore, they involuntarily and secretly locked on the witch who was almost supposed to be dismissed by them, and once again put the other party in a position hostile to them.

"Hurry!!"

"Catch her! She's a despicable thief! Thief! Bandit!! ”

After being relieved by being lowered to the ground, Rosa the goblin once again removed her double-barreled musket, and then aimed at the shameful witch and broke the hammer before once again angrily urging the paladins who had faintly surrounded each other.

‘……’

‘……’

however

Without Uther's order, the paladins were in no hurry, and only surrounded the little witch they had invited.

"Hey!"

"Can I explain this slowly, guys? Because it might be a bit long to talk about......"

Hermione rolled her eyes when she saw the paladins surrounding her, and then at the goblin pointing a gun at her, and then she could only sigh and raise her hands to show that she was really not their enemy.

Things are getting more and more troublesome, because even she didn't expect to meet the goblin Rosa who was so badly cheated by them here that it was really surprising.

“!!”

"No need for her to say! I'll tell you what's going on!! ”

After stepping forward and taking two steps closer and aiming his musket at his head, Rosa the goblin angrily deceived the other party of his goods, deceived his bag, and quickly said that he had taken back the very ordinary 'magic book' in some way he didn't know.

Then, the paladins quickly locked their eyes on a witch with an extremely embarrassed expression at one time.

"That's probably what it is......"

"But we can't help it, Fleur is injured and will die soon, we have no money on us, we want to pay on credit, we want him to wait for us to reconcile with Arthas and then pay back the money, but he refuses, so ......"

So Hermione didn't continue to ramble, she just shrugged her shoulders, because the goblin had just made it very clear, although the other party was hiding something less important, but there was no doubt that what the other party just said was indeed very fair, and they could indeed be said to have cheated each other's goods.

"I don't know any Prince of Arthas, and I don't accept credit!"

"Witch! You must give me that magic book right now, or I'll swear you'll have your head smashed to shreds, like those velociraptors in the Valley of Thorns!! ”

Goblin Rosa took another step closer, pushing her musket closer to the opponent's head, and while making sure that it would not miss, she planned to tear the embroidered deep-sea bag from the opponent's waist, which was clearly her own.

“!?”

However, before it could be put into action, a large hand reached down, directly pressed down on the goblin's musket and gently took it away.

"Goblins, and witches!"

"I probably understand the conflict between you! This matter is not my responsibility, and you can discuss the compensation matter by yourself when the time comes...... And now, all I want to know: Witch, is there a way you can get us to Talon in the quickest possible time? ”

After pressing the small musket to the stake hammer and closing the insurance and returning it to the goblin messenger who had been hired by Talon County to summon him, Uther walked up to the little witch and asked with a condescending look into the other's eyes.

After the goblin's narration and commotion, he was now almost certain that the other party was indeed somewhat related to Arthas, so he felt that they seemed to be able to trust each other, after all, there were not too many options left for them now, unless they didn't want to save Daron County!

"Yes!"

"But there are some conditions that must be met!!"

Looking at the terrifying eyes of the Uther in front of her, feeling the powerful momentum of the other party, Hermione swallowed her saliva, and finally looked back at each other calmly and said confidently.

"Say it!"

Uther frowned, but he didn't think much about it, and directly let the other party speak.

"First of all, I need to extract the memories of someone who knows the specific location of Dalong County, only if I know where it is, I can teleport you there!"

"Secondly, I can't bring so many people, you have more than a thousand people here and almost two thousand war horses plus a lot of carriages, I definitely don't have so much magic to take you, I can only try to lead a team of about ten people at most, and I can't have war horses!!"

After thinking about it, thinking about how she had been taking Harry and Fleur on her recent apparition journey, Hermione quickly stated her prerequisites and the maximum she was probably able to reach.

In this case, it's best to use the 'portkey' as a magic item that transforms people from one dimension to another multiple times and quickly! In that case, it would be possible to teleport all the people and horses here to Dalon County!

However, Hermione had never done more than 'Portkey', and although she knew the spell 'Mentos', she felt that she had better not make that kind of unsure attempt without someone teaching her some points?

“……”

"Whose memory are you going to extract? Many of our paladins here have been to Talon County and know where it is! ”

With a wave of Uther's hand, several paladins volunteered to stand up, saying that they all had the memories that the witch needed! Although, they are very apprehensive in their hearts, and they don't know how the other party is going to extract their memories?

“……”

"They can't!"

But soon, Hermione shook her head after a few glances at them.

"Why?"

Uther was a little impatient, he felt, now they seemed to be a bit of a waste of time?

"Your paladin's willpower is too strong, it is equivalent to applying a permanent 'brain occlusion technique', which is not something I can break through!"

"So, I need to watch a not-so-strong-willed man's memories of Talon County!"

"Preferably the closest!"

With that, Hermione glanced at a goblin who was still glaring at her angrily.

"But my team is full of paladins......"

"Hmm......"

"Not exactly?"

Uther reacted as well, and then looked at a courier who had been hired by Talon County to report twice in that weird goblin flying machine for some unknown reason.

It seems that the other party fully meets all the requirements of that little witch?

“!!”

"Nope! Don't you think!! ”

Not knowing exactly what the witch was trying to do, Rosa the goblin stubbornly took a few steps back and firmly refused.

"It's all petrified!!"

Coldly, Hermione directly cast a petrification spell on the goblin, causing the other party to freeze in place with round eyes.

"I'm sorry, Goblin Rosa...... I swear we'll compensate you for your losses, but that will be after we make peace with the Prince of Arthas, because we really don't have any money right now, but the Prince of Arthas does, and will be happy to help us pay! ”

Yes, Hermione and the others have helped the Prince of Arthas a lot before and after, and they have become good friends, and the other party has promised to repay them, so they will definitely not refuse to ask the other party to help pay.

"I need that wand of mine right now to cast the 'Temporary'!"

"Then, you can pick a candidate now, and if I have a wand, I think I might be able to try to take twenty of you to Talon County first!!"

After controlling the goblin so that the other party had no way to resist, Hermione looked at the Uther paladin with that confident gaze.

If the magic allows, she could even consider going back and forth a few more times and bringing a little more people over to support?

“……”

"Go! Bring those three wands!! ”

Uther didn't know which wand belonged to the other party, but it would certainly not be wrong to bring those three wands together! As for the question of the candidate, it was even simpler, he could have brought the elite guards and some high-ranking paladins over.

……

'Kill! ’

'Quick! Cast out their evil beings for me!! ’

'Uh-wow! ’

'Woohoo~!! ’

Boom! Boom~!

'Shoot! Shoot! Defeat them!! ’

Bang! Bang!!

????

Sou! Sou! Sou!

??????

'Lordaeron soldiers, raise your shields and advance!!' ’

'Push them out!!' ’

'Drink! Scold!! ’

'Catapult, throw the canister behind them, burn them!!' ’

Sou! Sou!

????

Rumble~! Rumble~!!

Here in Talon County, a horde of paladins, Dalon militia, Lordaeron legionnaires, and some knights are fighting against the swarming ghouls, zombies, skeletons, and abominations behind the wooden horses and scabies in front of town.

Every moment, countless projectiles, bows and arrows, boulders, bone spears, etc. are thrown at each other, and every moment there are soldiers or zombies falling in screams and roars, but more people are still fighting here, all trying to destroy each other......

Although the battle situation is very critical, the soldiers on the side of Talon County are still fighting hard, and they cannot retreat, because behind them are countless people of Lordaeron who have fled here, their families, their fathers and villagers!

And, once they retreat, the thousands of people will be slaughtered by the undead and more people will be one of them, and then countless walking corpses will once again flock to the lands of Lordaeron, which none of them want to see!!

suddenly

Behind the Talonshire side, a group of dark shadows descended from the sky!

Immediately afterwards, a militiaman from Dalong County, who was preparing to go to the front line to replace him, didn't think about it, and directly slashed the sword in his hand that had been soaked in holy water, and had been blessed by the paladin, and was particularly effective against the undead, and directly slashed down with all his strength towards the place where the black shadow appeared!

It must be some kind of evil trick by the evil necromancers, he thought! Anyway, it won't be from their Talon County, because the paladins won't use that kind of trick like a burst of black mist! Therefore, now he would definitely not be wrong to slash directly at the 'human' figure that flashed in the black shadow!

'Yah~!! ’

However, what shocked him was that before he was about to slash, a woman's exclamation was heard?!

However, there was no time to think about it, and because he used too much force, the long sword would definitely not be recovered......
