A cacophony of voices woke Qiuchen, and as soon as he opened his eyes, a puff of burnt smoke rushed into his nose. He sat up with his forehead covered, and the next moment, the dark red light of the fire reflected on his face through the window

Was there a fire?

With a frown, Qiu Chen subconsciously took out his weapon, walked to the window in two steps and pushed it open. In an instant, the sound of weapons colliding with each other, the wails of creatures before they died, the screams of women and the cries of children reached his ears

The town of Shining Gold is under attack?!

Qiu Chen looked at the scene in front of him in surprise, the orcs with red eyes poured into the town of Shining Gold like a tide, countless humans could only run away to avoid the deadly orcs, chaos filled the entire town, the fleeing people and the corpses that fell on the road, the blood on the ground gradually gathered into pools, and the bright light of the flames almost reflected half of the sky

"Damn it!" Qiu Chen took a sip, an orc of this scale was definitely not a sneak attack, this was their official attack!

As soon as he pushed the door open, the burning flame on the roof of the inn fell and was bounced off by Qiu Chen's wave, and as soon as he reached the journey hall, he saw an orc with an axe cutting off his own trophy from a bloody head. It didn't rejoice for long, though, as Autumn Dust rushed behind it with a stride, a flat stab piercing his chest

There were no other orcs in the inn, several human corpses lay on the ground, and Autumn Dust pulled out the ashes and the messenger rushed out of the gate, and an escaped human nearly crashed into him. Qiu Chen's backhand grabbed the human "Where are the sheriffs and guards in this town?"

"The sheriff's house is in the center of town," the human shouted, and then broke free of Qiu Chen's hand and fled on his own. But can you outrun the orcs......

Judging by the direction of the crowd, the orcs should have attacked from the south, and Qiuchen had to go against the flow of people to get to the town hall...... Troublesome!

"Get out of the way!" Qiu Chen turned sideways and hurried forward along the street, the further he went, the smaller the number of people became, but correspondingly, there were more and more corpses on the ground, and some of them even seemed to have been drained of blood......

Orcs related to blood...... Kilrog's Bloodcave Clan!

Qiuchen crouched down to examine the body, but a faint sound of fighting came from not far ahead. Thick red smoke blocked Qiu Chen's vision, but the sound easily reached his ears

Are humans resisting? Qiuchen was overjoyed. It's easy to have a resistant, and I'm most afraid that after being raided once, the tree will fall and the macaque will disperse, so there will be no chance to fight back.

Pulling out the Ember Bringer, Autumn Dust quickly rushed in the direction where the voice came from. After turning a corner, he saw that the three human militiamen were gradually cornered under the siege of the three orcs, barely relying on the leather shield in their hands to resist the onslaught of the orcs, and they were about to be unable to stop

Qiu Chen's legs exerted force, jumped into the air above the three orcs, and put down the orcs in the middle with a vertical slash, and before the remaining two orcs could react, he drew his knife and instantly killed the orcs on the left and right sides in an arc slash

"You're okay, where are the other militiamen" Qiuchen looked at the three people who still had horror on their faces

"We don't know, we happened to be repairing our weapons when these monsters rushed in, and our homes were relatively close, so we wanted to rush out together......" The three of them looked at each other, "but we didn't expect them to be too many......"

"You guys follow me and go to the town hall," Qiu Chen pointed at the center of the town with a swing of his sword

"Shouldn't we run away now?" one of the militia asked rhetorically, "while no monsters have spotted us now, we should get out of here and go to Stormwind City to be safest."

"Do you think you can escape" Qiu Chen whistled softly, "It's at least half a day's journey from here to Stormwind City, and you can't hide from the orcs in a hurry." The town hall has spare weapons, at least we can arm a group of people with them, and with the equipment we can hold out until Stormwind's reinforcements arrive."

The three militiamen thought of Qiu Chen's strength when he dealt with the orcs just now, and agreed---- it is better to have a powerful person by his side than to run away alone

In fact, Qiuchen didn't say anything, the orcs dared to attack the human town, which means that they don't need to recuperate, since the flash gold town closest to Stormwind City has been attacked, then Stormwind City is probably also under attack, and now going to Stormwind City is a dead end

Along the way, after Qiu Chen quickly disposed of a few lone orcs, he and the militia rushed to the town hall, and the corpses of three orcs and five human militiamen fell next to the wall outside the hall

"Wait, it's not an orc, don't let go of the arrows" After seeing the appearance of the comer, a soldier wearing Stormwind armor waved his hand to make the archer who was ambushed on the roof put away the arrows, "You are also militiamen, go to the basement and get your equipment...... Uh, you're the messenger of Stormwind? ”

"That's right" Qiuchen took out Lothar's command and shook it, "Where is the mayor, I want to see him, as well as the sheriff and the captain of the guards, I want to know how many people here can pick up a sword and fight"

"Mayor Mare's whereabouts unknown, we don't know if he escaped or was killed" The soldier shook his head "Lord Sheriff and the Captain of the Guard are dead, I'm Thomas, a member of the Shining Gold Town Guards, and now the commander here"

"Okay Commander" Qiuchen put away the order and walked to the town hall with the guards, "Tell me about the situation here"

"Yes, my lord," said Guard Thomas as he walked, "there are thirty-four militiamen here, including three of the guards, and there are about fifty refugees in the hall, most of them young and middle-aged, and I think that if I assign weapons to them, they should be able to fight like the militia."

"That's eighty-four of us."

"Counting the adults just brought, there are a total of eighty-seven people" Qiuchen and Thomas walked into the hall, a group of refugees who had just been distributed equipment either looked at their weapons, or looked at them blankly, not knowing what they were thinking, almost all of them looked preoccupied "The women and children have already hid in the cellar, and the orc army has not yet discovered us, but I don't know how long I can hold on......"

"No... The large army of orcs will not stop" Qiuchen shook his head, "But after their large army leaves, we will have to face the orcs who remain, the number will not be too many, we can win"

"But ......" Before Thomas could finish speaking, the warning from the sentry on the roof woke everyone

"Orcs! They're coming! ”

Stupid sentinel! Qiu Chen's heart was filled with a hint of helplessness, after all, he was now leading a group of militiamen who had not been on the battlefield and had not even received much training, not the Knights of the Black Blade in the fortress of Acherous or the Night Elf troops of the Black Raven Castle. Let him shout like this, even if the orcs don't notice it, they will be attracted to it

"Leave five militia to protect the hall, and the rest of everyone will gather in the courtyard and let the archers shoot freely" Qiuchen walked out with the ash bringer and Thomas leading the way, he just glanced at the arsenal, it was completely a weapon that could equip two hundred people, and there was no need to worry about running out of arrows

As soon as he walked out of the hall, Qiu Chen saw that the gate of the courtyard was being slammed again and again, and someone outside the door wanted to break it, and the five militiamen were blocking the gate with all their might. The archers on the roof shot scattered arrows, but they were then suppressed by the orcs' spears

More than sixty militiamen had just prepared in the courtyard, only to hear a bang, the courtyard gate and the door shaft were knocked away, and the militia behind the door screamed and flew straight out

“Lok’tar！” The battle cries of the orcs rang out from the smoke and dust, and bloodthirsty beasts rushed into the courtyard

Qiu Chen slapped the Ash Messenger on the Stormwind City shield he had just picked up, and the loud voice like a war drum dispelled the fear in the hearts of the militia for a moment, and the next moment, the bright white light centered on him and radiated to every militia member present, "The holy light is shining on you!" Advance! For Azeroth! ”
