Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Beast Tide Rises
With the official end of the autumn harvest in the territory, the farmland outside the city was barren, and as far as the eye could see, large areas of farmland were empty after being harvested, only a few unknown trees were erected in the fields, and the empty fields made people feel very desolate.
And the farmers in the territory who thought that the autumn harvest was over, they could take advantage of the slack to rest and have a good year, and they were busy again. Under the strict escort of a group of Plantagenet soldiers, truckloads loaded with food, alcohol, weapons and other supplies were being transported to the fortress of the front line.
Fortunately, Al is not a mean person, and the farmers who deliver the supplies can get a good pay, which also causes the farmers to be excited and work harder.
Seeing the tall gate of Plantage, many convoys are loaded with goods every day and go to the front line. And the elite army in the city also walked out of the city quietly by taking advantage of the night from time to time, all of which told everyone in Goldfinch that war was coming.
The squad leader guarding the city gate, the first-order warrior, Jim, watched another army step on neat steps, quietly and silently went out of the city, and couldn't help but say to the other squad leader next to him, the first-order swordsman, Bernie:
"Damn, I wish our territory wasn't on the edge of the Everfree Forest and the Swamp."
Bernie also nodded with deep feeling.
For the Warcraft siege that occurs once a year in winter, it is also relatively speaking, and some cities have never encountered it.
Because most of the entire southern kingdoms are flat terrain and dense rivers, the forests are relatively concentrated, such as the Endless Forest, where the elves live, spanning more than a dozen kingdoms.
There is also a large swamp composed of large wetlands, which is also full of dangers, complex terrain, and many magical beasts.
These two dangerous areas are recognized as the two major dangerous places in the southern countries, and most of the many demonic beasts are gathered in this vicinity, and the other places are either eliminated by the concentrated efforts of humans, or they are not in the climate and cannot threaten humans. Therefore, most of the cities that need to guard against the siege of Warcraft are also around here.
Unfortunately, the Plantagenet family's territory is directly facing these two dangerous places, so the family is equivalent to blocking the way for the demonic beasts in this area to attack other human cities. For example, in other cities on the side, because of the Plantagenet family in front, they are very comfortable, and the pressure encountered can be relatively uncountable, which is one of the reasons why Plantagenet can have such a great influence in this vicinity.
If it weren't for the fact that Goldfinch City had blocked the first stop of the Warcraft Attack in this area for so many years, eliminated most of the crazy Warcraft, and resisted most of the pressure, how could other nearby cities develop so comfortably.
While Jim and the others were melancholy at the gate of the city, Al was halfway up the hill looking through the official business and signing orders.
After sending off Old Patton and the others, Al became even busier.
The coming winter, and the preparations needed to deal with the siege of Warcraft, made him very busy, even with the old butler on the side to share the pressure of internal affairs, he also needed to think carefully before issuing an order to mobilize materials and personnel to the second line of defense, the Cross Fort.
And time passed slowly in the busyness of El, until the arrival of winter.
December 1, the winter solstice of this world.
At this time, the weather was already very cold, even if it was as prosperous as Goldingagenet, the streets of the city were sparsely populated, and the occasional pedestrian walking on the streets was also in a hurry, and only a few taverns and other establishments were still thriving.
In this cold winter, the winter solstice season when everything is withering, I don't know when, a piece of snowflakes fell above the Golden Bird City, and the cold snowflakes slowly fell from the sky, and then dissolved on the earth.
And this winter, when the first snow fell. Far away, in the Endless Forest of the Plantagenet region, the whole forest changed dramatically as endless snowflakes fell from the sky, white snowflakes everywhere, and thick snow covered the grass, the ground, and everything.
In a forest, a giant wolf with a body length of three meters and a silver-gray winter coat was alertly pricking up its ears, and its two amber eyes were greedily staring at a forest deer foraging in front of it. And the gluttonous forest deer was unaware of it, still happily eating the twigs in the bushes.
Just when the giant wolf was about to succeed, at this moment, in the depths of the forest, there was a long howl, this howl with extremely powerful penetrating power, through the grasslands and forests in this area, and spread to the entire area.
And when the giant wolf heard this howl, he did not pay any attention to the forest deer that was close at hand, and raised his head and howled violently, as if in response to this howl. For a time, the entire grassland and forest, wolves howled countless times, and then countless giant wolves, whether they were eating or playing, rushed towards the howl at the same time, setting off countless waves.
At the same time, as the howl fell, a hammer sound resounded throughout the forest.
"Knock, knock, knock", with the dull sound of hammering resounding through the forest, in the Endless Forest, countless demonic beasts with red eyes and violent faces surged out, like endless tides, wave after wave of continuous out.
Forest Giant Bear, Tundra Tiger, Raging Giant Pig and countless other first-order and second-order demonic beasts surged out and rushed viciously towards the western fortress of Goldfinch City.
In the end, when the last demonic beast rushed out of the forest, a huge figure stepped on heavy steps, slowly walking out of the forest step by step.
After identifying the next direction, the huge figure pulled out a towering tree on the side in the sound of the trees being squeezed and cracked, held it in his hand, weighed it, "boom, boom", two bombardment sounds resounded around, and the towering tree more than 10 meters high was cut off from its head and tail, turned into a huge wooden stick, and held it in its hand.
Waving his hand casually, listening to the screaming sound in the air, the huge figure nodded with satisfaction, picked up the wooden stick that had just been made in his right hand, hung a large drum on his chest with his left hand, and then walked towards the west with "knock, knock, knock", and saw that his direction was obviously towards the west fortress of Plantagenet.
At this time, in the Western Fortress, Old Patton was unaware of it, and was directing a large number of soldiers, firmly hanging a huge stone like a hill above the gate of the fortress.
As he shouted the trumpet, he told people to be careful, and the rope comparable to a steel wire was slowly lifting the huge stone under the pull of many soldiers, and then the stone was firmly fixed above the city gate.
This is Eyre's request, based on the blue steel stone, add iron and other metals, build a huge stone gate, and hang it above the city gate, in case the last moment, when the city gate is breached, you can cut the rope and fall down the stone gate.
