Chapter 0106: The Beginning of Chaos
The Canyon of Fire, in the human refugee camp, has now been built with rows and rows of neat log huts, and many refugees have obtained their own houses according to families or groups.
They were all made from freshly cut wood from the nearby forest, and the wood had not even had time to dry and slice, and some of it had not even been skinned, it had simply been cut in half from the middle and put together, and although it still smelled of wood, it was barely enough to be used as shelter for the refugees.
After all, there are thousands of human refugees here, and the housing matter cannot be delayed at all, if you really let those refugees be exposed to the wild and sleep overnight, it is likely that they will die!
Therefore, in order to avoid causing widespread epidemics and unnecessary attrition, John Sr. waved his hand and ordered craftsmen and labor teams to build houses directly out of new wood. The round wood is split in half and used, and the thin skin is slice and dried, which can be saved!
So, after the wood was cut down, it was only done in the simplest sections, and then it was used to build small houses, which looked a little shabby, but it was much better than setting up a tent in the mud, right?
And in the rows of simple wooden houses in front of me, in a very inconspicuous and ordinary newly-built wooden house, if someone looks inside through the gap in the closed door, you can find that the noble father and son who live here are gathering in the darkest corner of the innermost place at the moment, and the two of them are mysterious, and they don't know what they are muttering.
"Diesel, now, how are things going?"
After seeing his titular son walk in and carefully close the door of the house, an old man who had been sitting in the room with his eyes closed and looking kind suddenly opened his eyes, and there was a trace of chill and hideousness in those eyes, which made Diesel shiver with fright when he accidentally looked at him just now.
"Lord Banazal, I just went to ask for news, Sophia is sure that she has passed the assessment, and the fire demon leader, Shane Knox, has also agreed to pass the list of candidates. By tomorrow at the latest, Sophia will be able to officially go to the palace inside as a maid. My lord, when are we going to get moving? ”
Diesel lowered his head, not daring to look into the eyes of the old man in front of him, he knew very well that this person in front of him was not so harmless as it seemed on the outside, and if he accidentally provoked him, he would be dead!
"Humph! No hurry! Wait a few more days, and when Sophia has established a basic trust with the queen, it's time for us to do it, and now, you can wait honestly for me and don't do anything. ”
After saying that, Banazal didn't want to say anything more, and began to close his eyes again.
Recently, he has also learned a lot about the strength of the fire elements in this Flame Canyon through his own observations, and the more he understands, the more frightened he becomes! Therefore, he is imperative to win this operation! There is no room for failure, and we must do our best.
"By the way, you've seen that flame queen of theirs, right? Her strength... How, exactly? ”
Banazar asked about his primary concern, which was the key to the success or failure of his plan, and it was absolutely necessary to find out.
"Yesterday when they teleported the army back, I just looked at it from a distance. As you know, those fire demons don't allow us humans to get too close. Anyway, I watched it for a long time, and I didn't find anything special about the other party, just a very normal little human girl! Judging by the way she can teleport spells, she should be about the same level as a high-level mage, and that's it at most. ”
At that time, Diesel had been secretly observing from a distance for a long time, and he didn't see anything wrong with the queen of their fire demons.
It's obvious that he's just a kid! I don't know what kind of shit luck she took to let this group of powerful fire demons worship her as the master.
Diesel estimated the strength of the other party as a high-level mage, and he had already said that he was already high. He never believed that the other party could still have the level of a hero! Even Miss Gianna, a genius mage known as Dalaran, was only a junior apprentice at her age!
"That's good, you have to keep watching! Also, remember to remind that fake sister of yours to be honest when she works, and not to do anything superfluous, for now, as long as she does her duty as a maid. Do you understand? ”
This operation, Banazar intends to outwit it, he is not prepared to make too much movement, so as not to be noticed by those fire demons. He just needs that Sophia to be able to gain the trust of the other party and be able to approach the other party at any time, and that's it. He believed that by the time Alsace had completed his mission, he would probably be almost there, and that he would be rewarded by Lord Akmund for it!
"Yes, understood! I'll explain to her in a moment! Excuse me, my lord, is there anything else you would like to command? After nodding his head, Diesel wiped the sweat from his head and asked cautiously.
"No, you go out, remember, food must be delivered on time every day." Although Banazal does not eat these inferior human foods, he still has to pretend, and he does not want anyone to see the flaws.
"Yes, the little one is gone."
……
Outside the Flame Canyon, on a large farm a little further away, John Sr., the garrison of the refugees, was leading more than two hundred surviving soldiers of the original Lordaeron, nervously scattered and guarded around.
In the two large warehouses on the farm, more sturdy refugees, carrying large bags and small bags, are stepping up to load the goods, and they need to pack the goods in the warehouse and transport them back in the shortest possible time.
Now, for safety reasons, they are planning to settle in the Flame Canyon for a long time. But here's the problem, the food in the human camp has started to get more and more scarce, because so far, the camp has too many people! This is close to the number of 8,000 people, and they are about to reach the size of a medium-sized town.
They humans are not like fire elemental creatures, at most they can drink some magma to replenish the fluids in their bodies, they humans don't have any elemental cores, and they can't continuously absorb energy from nature!
So, after learning from a former farmworker that the warehouse on this large farm was full of all kinds of grain and seeds that had just been harvested and had not yet had time to be shipped, Old John began to brew about this operation, and finally, until now, he finally led the team out and carried out this long-prepared plan!
They collected all the cows, horses, and vehicles from the camp to transport them, and in order to ensure the smooth operation, he also selected hundreds of strong men from the camp who could carry and run, and made sure to transport all the two warehouses of the big farm at once!
Old John was bound to win this action! Whether it's grain or seeds in those two big warehouses, or other farm equipment, he has to get his hands on them!
Because, the leader of the fire demons, Shannox, has agreed to set aside half of the area in the Flame Canyon for human refugees to live and cultivate, and they must resume production as soon as possible, otherwise, before the undead come to kill them, after a while, they themselves will starve to death!
"Quick! Hurry up! Put everything on the wagon and don't think about being lazy! The sooner we finish it, we can go back sooner! ”
Old John ordered the soldiers to be on guard, and at the same time urged the able-bodied refugees to hurry up and load the carts, and they had to hurry to carry away the food and agricultural equipment, which were especially important to them, before the spirits could even find them.
"Who! You bastard! Leave it alone if it falls to the ground! Hurry up, put down what you have in your hand, go to the warehouse now, and finish shipping the contents first! ”
After seeing a strong man accidentally spill a grain on the ground and wanted to pick it up, Old John hurriedly drank, when has this been, and where is there time for him to slowly clean up the things on the ground? Besides, the ground here isn't very clean, and if the grain that falls on the ground is contaminated with the undead plague, it will be a lot of fun! He remembered Stratholme very well!
"Head! There is a case! ”
As Old John checked the loading of the car, one of his lightly armed men, a sentry in charge of reconnoitring the situation to the west, had only a narrow sword and no armor in order to run fast.
"There's a group of undead coming up ahead, they're coming to us, maybe they've smelled the breath of the living! As for the number, from what I've seen, there are about three or four hundred, and I also saw a small stitching abomination and a small number of ghouls, and the rest, mostly zombies and skeletons. ”
"Bastard! They found out so quickly! ”
Old John had been mentally prepared for a long time, and he knew that things would not go as smoothly as he thought today.
These hundreds of people came to this place to smuggle food, and the targets and movements were too big for the undead to find out! You know, they are more sensitive to the breath of living people, especially when such a large group of living people gather together and sweat and work!
"Boss! What do we do now? Do you want to retreat? ”
Hearing that the undead were approaching, Old John's subordinate, the one named Jude, also came up, and now he Jude was in charge of leading a squad of thirty sharp soldiers, all of whom were elite warriors above the middle level, a little bit short of the high-level elite.
"Retreat fart! Isn't it just three or four hundred undead? Let's kill them! ”
Old John took two last bites of a large radish in his hand and swallowed it, and then threw it into the distance with all his might, this time, he was ready to fight a tough positional battle with the undead! Hard! Don't cowardly!
"Attention all soldiers! Listen to my orders, four phalanxes, four battle lines, due west, start the formation! Hurry up! Everyone, get ready to fight right now! ”
Old John began to give orders fiercely, and he shouted loudly, so that the two hundred Lordaeron shielded infantry quickly completed the formation in the dry field in front of the farm, facing the direction of the distant undead appearing.
This group of them are all regular soldiers of the former Lordaeron, and the one who has survived until now doesn't that have rich experience in fighting the undead? So, under the orders of Old John, they quickly completed the formation as required.
"Look! Kobold! Lao Tzu, these soldiers are not dead yet! What are you panicking about? Don't even look at it, go on with your work right away, pack your things, you don't need to worry about things here! ”
After turning around and seeing that the group of panicked strong men in the warehouse behind him had stopped what they were doing and looked at this side at a loss, Old John suddenly became furious, and he scolded him for scolding! If you have time to watch the play over there, you might as well hurry up and load your things, maybe, when they finish fighting the undead here, the warehouse will almost be moved.
What a bunch of fools! Old John thought disdainfully, isn't it just three or four hundred undead? You're scared of the eggs! When Lao Tzu was twenty people, he had to keep up with thousands of undead, not to mention that there are still two hundred people now!
