Chapter 279: Encounter

The wilderness of the Eastern Kingdoms is beautiful. But it's not a good place to visit. Because in this wilderness, every minute is filled with deadly dangers.

In just one day or so, Lin Xuan and Hermione had already experienced no less than ten beast attacks. Three of them, Lin Xuan felt the aura of evil energy.

Evil power is the power of demons, and being strong is one thing. The most important thing is that this thing is extremely aggressive. Didn't you see that the whole world of Draenor had died at the hands of evil powers? And the most important thing is that behind the evil energy, the piles of bigwig-level demons made Lin Xuan jealous. At the moment, there are no plans to confront those guys head-on.

Those villains in Warcraft are not the funny villains in film and television dramas who often die from talking too much, or who are tangled and killed by Wenqing. Those demons with names and surnames are all masters of intrigue and trickery. Deception, demagoguery, seduction are all the best. Even if it is as strong as the Burning Legion, it will never be just the first to come up.

The only thing to be thankful for is that the current Burning Legion has not yet fully begun its invasion plans. This means that the eyes of the vast majority of bigwigs have not yet shifted to this continent. So Lin Xuan can still move.

Humans have a long history in World of Warcraft. Because of the relationship between the rules, although it has not developed a technological revolution based on electricity. But that doesn't mean the world is backward. Check out the gorgeous city of Stormwind. This is not one of those magical worlds of medieval civilization. It is a capital city where feudal civilization has developed to the limit.

The city walls are tens of meters high, and the huge blue and white city gates. Thousands of boulders paved a road more than twenty meters into the city. The mottled stone roads don't make the city look any older. On the contrary, it added the weight of history to her.

What is the fusion of cultures, Stormwind will give you the most intuitive feeling. This is one of the few cities in the Eastern Kingdom that allows for multi-racial mixing. High elves, half-elves, night elves, and dwarves live brightly from the city.

Look at the armor on the soldiers in the city. Those intricate and gorgeous stripes, even on the earth in the industrial age, can probably only do that. The vast majority of the soldiers wore light armor because they had not experienced war for a long time. The biggest role of the patrol is to catch thieves or to maintain law and order during a big festival.

"Civilization, only in a long period of peace, will the most beautiful light bloom. However, once the peace lasts for a long time, barbarism will rise and trample on civilization. Therefore, the more splendid the civilization, the more short-lived. ”

Along the way, Hermione had heard the teacher's exclamation more than once. It seems that after entering this world, he has become a little sentimental.

A group of soldiers rubbed shoulders with them and walked outside the city. Lin Xuan's brows furrowed, because the soldiers were wearing heavy armor. This means that they are on a combat mission.

"Hermione, you keep up with them."

Lin Xuan didn't go out of the city together. He shuttles freely through Stormwind and finally comes to a special market.

Every city has its own dark side. The black market is one of the most representative places. The more prosperous a city becomes, the darker side expands. The two are mutually reinforcing. And Lin Xuan is currently in a similar place.

A somewhat remote street is lined with all sorts of goods. From beast skins, to knives, guns, bows and arrows, and even muskets made by dwarves, as well as all kinds of unknown medicinal herbs, and ores and the like. It looks like any other bazaar.

However, a closer look at the transactions here shows that many buyers are not here for the goods. They will use some ambiguous words to converse, then get up and enter the building behind the vendor. Since it is a black market, the most valuable goods are, of course, intelligence.

Lin Xuan stopped in front of a small shop selling weapons.

"I'm sorry I don't understand your rules. But I'd like to make a deal with you. So would you like to convey it to me? I need a service on intelligence. ”

"What?"

"It's the news."

"I don't sell news here, I only sell weapons. This is the standard two-handed sword of the paladin of Stormwind City, absolutely genuine, and it took a lot of thought to get it. Do you want a handful? For adventurers, there is nothing more trustworthy than a sharp longsword. ”

Lin Xuan, "...... Well, sorry, I have to go the other way. ”

In the dense forests east of Stormwind. A team of knights is weaving through the jungle. Not long ago, they received news that a guard post on the outskirts had been attacked, and all the guards had been killed. A passing hunter reported the incident. This time, they went to the sentry post to confirm the truth of the matter.

Although Stormwind has not experienced war for many years, the basic skills of the soldiers are still good. At least the horsemen were skilled, and the twelve knights rode all the way, and soon approached the position of the sentry.

"Attention, everyone, we are close to the point of attack. Now dismount and move forward on foot. The captain gave the order. But as soon as he said this, the war horse suddenly roared uneasily, and then spun in place, and his mood became extremely agitated. The captain was stunned for a moment, and then reacted.

"Watch out, enemy attack." As soon as the words fell, a giant wolf pounced from the side and directly threw the captain and his horse to the ground. On the giant wolf, a green-skinned orc strong man jumped down, waved the giant axe in his hand, and cleanly cut off the captain's head.

After a brief panic, the remaining knights took their swords to battle. The orc carried the captain's head, looking up to the sky and roaring. It's like some kind of bugle call for an attack. The surrounding dense forest shook for a while, and there were thirty wolf cavalry rushing out of the dense forest and frantically pounced on the remaining knights.

Eleven knights swung their whips to keep themselves in motion to avoid being caught by the enemy, and drew their dwarven muskets.

The orcs from another world had apparently never seen such a strange weapon. He didn't make any evasive moves. After a rapid burst of gunpowder, at least four orcs fell under the muskets. But instead of frightening the orcs, this only aroused their bloodlust even more.

Due to the limitations of craftsmanship, the knight's dwarven muskets were single-shot. And the knights on the horses obviously did not have time to reload their ammunition. They can only draw their long swords and prepare for horse battle.

Warhorses are threatened by giant wolves and are far less agile than usual. The average combat power of human soldiers is also far inferior to that of orcs. In addition, this team of wolf cavalry can be said to be the elite of the elite of the orc tribe. So the battle turned one-sided in an instant.

Knights were thrown to the ground, then decapitated and torn apart by wolves. The remaining soldiers had given up resisting, thinking only about how they could escape. And the orc wolf cavalry took all this as hunting. They were in no hurry to kill the soldiers, just enjoying the fear of their prey before they died.

Just when all the soldiers were desperate, a turning point appeared. A golden streamer crossed the sky. And quickly turned into a beautiful human girl. The knight looked back, only to see the girl stop in front of the pursuing wolf cavalry behind him.

"Get out of the way." A knight was about to speak. But I saw a mysterious light flashing in the girl's hand.

"Magician?"
