Chapter 422: First Encounter with an Orc
Duke Elo Eberlock asked in surprise, "Stormwind can't even stop the enemy?" Are they still human? ”
"It's not. If I were you, I'd be at the western farm where, get some boats ready. It was a continent-wide war, and no country was immune. Of course, Yan Hanshui is just that, and the Duke just listens to it.
Then it was the matter of Yan Hanshui and them, and Shan Daonian stood up first: "Lord Duke, I want to hire an army from you to face future threats. The number of people is about 100 or more, and it is better not to be dragged down by families. ”
The Duke frowned: "What are you going to do?" ”
"Just in case, I'm not sending these people to their deaths. If someone does attack, just a few of us will definitely be overwhelmed by the enemy, so we hope to be able to form a team to fight against future threats. Of course, if an enemy attacks Nightlight in the future, we will help civilians leave. ”
"Most of these people are mercenaries, and of course, to hire so many people, you have to say hello to the duke. For the rest, I'm going to recruit some here, and if there are people who are willing to take risks. Shan Daonian said slowly.
The Duke thought for a moment and nodded, "If there really is an unknown enemy, you must also help the civilians evacuate in Nightlight Town." The Duke nodded in agreement, for it was nothing to lose him. After all, the money hired is all from the mountain road, and since there are enemies in this vicinity, the more natural people, the better.
Yan Hanshui discussed it with Shan Dao Nian and them, and in the end, Zhou Feng and Qing Lan planned to stay here. Their squad is responsible for recruiting and training soldiers and mercenaries. Smoke and cold water will Karazan accompany Medivan in the main story, because they can often contact Medivan, and Shan Daonian has to go back, after all, they still have to cook.
It seems that after such an assignment, there is no need to contact the duke. Shan Daonian and Qinglan have a way to contact them, and this arrangement is also convenient for communication. So after a day here, Yanhanshui Shan Dao pulled the cart and returned in the direction of Karazhan.
Zhou Feng and Qinglan are recruiting mercenaries here. Althea's little sister led the people to the Raven Ridge cemetery, and the Duke himself went to the outpost on the Windward Trail to build a simple defense.
Before leaving, Yan Hanshui said to them: "Everyone should be equipped with a musket as much as possible...... "When the orcs are raging now, it is too difficult to kill an orc with ordinary weapons. The musket can easily penetrate their bodies at close range, after all, it is still made of meat.
Speaking of muskets, there is still one in the smoke and cold water. That is the musket of the late Ming Dynasty that I got in the last scene of the new Dragon Gate Inn. Yan Hanshui thought for a while and took out the musket: "You guys study it and see if you can find a blacksmith to imitate it, or use it as a reference for the research and development of muskets in this world." ”
Then the group began to return to Karazhan, or back from the upwind trail. Of course...... What they don't know is that humans actually got a report of a strange species invasion some time ago.
It was reported by a warrior riding a griffon, a member of the vanguard camp in the swamp of sorrows. Just as he was being massively attacked by the orcs, the man happened to be feeding the griffons. So seeing humans being slaughtered by that creature, he actually managed to escape.
The higher-ups of Stormwind got this information, and they took it very seriously. Although the Swamp of Sorrow is in an area beyond the control of the Kingdom of Azeroth, it has lost an army of 1,000 people at one time, and those creatures who know if they will fight will come, which is a headache for the upper echelons of the kingdom.
Because there is also some confusion within them, there has been controversy over whether to send troops or to investigate again. Many people even said that the soldier who came back was a liar, and that there could be no strange monster like that.
A few griffons were sent out to scout, but none of them returned. Eventually, the king intended to send an elite army into the swamp of sorrow to check on the situation. And the person who led the team was the commander of the Azeroth Kingdom, the president of the Iron Horse Brotherhood at the time, Anduin. Lothar.
However, at this time, Lothar was drinking with her friends in Ironforge. So the matter of the investigation was pushed back again.
Just as they were about to return, they still saw some merchants who didn't know what was going on, and Nighttown passed by the watchtower here on the Windwind Trail. Yan Hanshui told them what happened, but in exchange for bursts of ridicule. It's as if they have never been out of the house, and they will make a fuss when they see anything.
Alas, if you don't believe it, don't believe it. But anyway, they are going to take this path, and Yan Hanshui really doesn't expect to meet orcs in his heart. If you can beat it, even if you can do it with a dragon that is more powerful than the orcs, will you still be afraid of the orcs? But Yan Hanshui doesn't like trouble, and he is quite tired from fighting. Only the mountain Daonian in the team felt eager to try, looking around the nearby mountains and forests to see where a few green-skinned orcs would jump out.
Yan Hanshui looked unhappy: "You just shouted for the tribe earlier, and now you want to go directly to the orcs." You're really.... Are you worthy of Sal? ”
"Come on, Sal may have just been born now. You said that if I found and raised that child, I would be awesome? Isn't it just a woman, Talesha.... We just met the other day, okay. If I leave a good reputation in Saar, I can be a great background in the future. Shan Dao Nian's face was stunned.
Yan Hanshui rolled his eyes, indicating that he couldn't communicate without being in the same dimension. Soon the group was back at the camp they had passed by, and there was no one left here. They didn't stop here, and continued to walk in the direction of Karazhin. A little south from this camp is the road that leads to the Swamp of Sorrows.
Several people stood at the intersection and watched, but no tribesmen appeared. There were even a few caravans, smiling and heading inside. "I really don't know whether to live or die!" Yamado Nian spat at the ground.
Yan Hanshui made a helpless expression: "It's normal for people to not believe in us, but if I change it, others tell me that the earth is going to be destroyed, and I don't believe it." ”
Shan Daonian smiled: "How about we go and see?" ”
"it, it's just the three of us right now. What should I do if I go to the grain and grass when I encounter an attack? If this grain and grass are destroyed, what will you eat when you return to Karazan? Yan Hanshui complained.
At this moment, the caravan not far away suddenly became chaotic. Several people glanced at each other and directly drew their weapons. "Tu, go and see what's going on, if the orcs are here!" Yan Hanshui looked at the carriage and drove it to a remote place, then headed to the chaotic area over there.
At this time, Tu Yu also told them the situation: "It's the officer we met earlier, the one who plans to lead people into the swamp of sorrow. He was covered in blood, but alive. ”
Yan Hanshui and Shan Daonian glanced at each other: "Then go and take a look!" Two people also ran over. The highest
