265. First contact with Lavern Horton
Zhang Li came back with his men, and as he left, he was accompanied by two retinues, an elf girl, and a coffin.
And now, the coffin is gone, but there is an extra man with a national character face, this man seems to be a little demented, his expression is stupid and very childish, and his face is also a little sickly white, but he looks completely no different from ordinary people, so no one notices him.
After returning, Verinde saw for the first time the purchasing power of a gold coin, and in this place where strategic supplies were scarce, a large piece of roasted meat was only a few silver, and it is said that in the past, such a roast was only about ten copper, or the kind drizzled with delicious sauce.
A gold coin can eat this barbecue a thousand times, and now it can eat dozens of times, and Verinde finally didn't dare to say that the task publisher slammed the door.
But in fact, he is very picky, if it is an ordinary period, killing a dangerous creature like the Yeti King, no one else will spit in his face without dozens of gold.
Zhang Li handed over all the task rewards to Vilinde and his two entourage, and he didn't care about the money, and the first time he came back, he heard that something big had happened in Riptide Castle.
"The ogre has breached the walls of Riptide Castle, and now Prince Garin and his followers can only hold on to the city of Urn, but they will not last much time, we have received information that the ogre has siege equipment, and this is obviously not a technique that the ogre can master, we suspect that there is an orc shadow behind them. In a private room in the tavern, Marcus and Zhang Li were exchanging, his tone very angry.
"Prince Garin has turned to the Alliance for help, we cannot sit idly by, and His Majesty Alsace's army cannot withdraw from the Oshan Domain, so our Seventh Legion can only take action. ”
The Seventh Legion of the Stormwind Kingdom, this name can be described as a great name in the history of O, in the history of the game, this legion has fought in almost all battles in Azeroth, large and small, from the Wall of Beetles to the Expeditionary Scourge Legion, the Seventh Legion almost runs through o history, which is the most elite unit of the Stormwind Kingdom.
As for whether they have the First Legion and the Sixth Legion or something, in fact, there are not, but there are other legions, such as the Stormwind City Garrison, and the reason why they are called the Seventh Legion instead of the First and Second is actually based on human history, so I won't elaborate much here.
However, the army that has not experienced the war is far from being elite, in the period when the old parliamentarians controlled the government, the Seventh Army had a large number of empty salaries and delayed military salaries, and a large number of officers were related households, and the soldiers were seriously lacking in training, and the word elite could not match them.
At present, the state treasury only owes Zhang Li a small amount of money with a low interest rate.
It didn't matter, in short, due to the rush and assumption of the battle, the Seventh Army could play a limited role here in Okuyama, and they didn't even prepare winter clothes when they went out, so they fought two soy sauce battles here.
Marcus and the others even thought it would be better to move to the Silverpine Forest, where they could also fight against the Scourge and the Forsaken, better than Shivering in Okuyama, and it was at this point that what happened at Riptide Castle successfully led them to find their next target.
"What do you need me to do?" Zhang Li asked, knowing that Marcus would explain this matter to him in such detail, there must be something he wanted him to do, otherwise it would be over if he sent someone to inform him.
"Yes, do you know why Riptide Fortress was so easily breached? it was one of the oldest cities in our human race, and even if the walls weren't as tall as Stormwind, it wouldn't fall so quickly, and with a moat around Riptide Castle, those siege engines were of limited use. ”
"Why is that?"
"Because of the traitor!" Marcus slammed the table hard, "because of the remnants of Farcurest!"
"Uh...... What is that?"
"Duke Facurrest was once the ruler of the kingdom of Alterac, and during the Great War of the Orcs, they betrayed the alliance and were expelled, and the kingdom of Alterac was taken over by Lordaeron. ”
"I see. Zhang Lixin said that it was originally a syndicate, if he didn't say the name syndicate, he really didn't know who it was.
"This group of damned traitors has now reappeared, they assassinated the guards who were guarding the city at the time and opened the gates, and now the ogres are wreaking havoc in Riptide Castle, I don't know why these damn bastards do such a thing, what can they get out of it!?"
"So you're trying for me to assassinate the remnants of this group of Fa or something?"
"No, it's not ......" Zhang Li asked, but before Marcus could finish speaking, Zhang Li suddenly turned around and pulled out the dragon tooth and stabbed at a nearby position, and then a metal collision sounded, and an invisible guy was forced out.
It was a guy dressed as a traditional assassin, and he looked at Zhang Li with some appreciation, feeling incredulous that Zhang Li could spot him.
"As rumored, you are a good assassin. ”
In fact, Zhang Li has noticed this guy a long time ago, although this guy is invisible and walks silently, but for Tinker Bell, even if he can use spells to cover his body temperature and smell, he can't stop the exploration of sonar, as long as it is an entity, it will be reflected by sonar, and Tinker Bell's brain has already given him a warning.
But it doesn't look like this is the enemy.
"Let me introduce you, this is a member of Ravenhorton, what we often call the League of Assassins, let him tell you the rest of the story. Marcus seemed to know Laven Horton well and was relieved, so he just gave up his place and left with a smile.
"Then allow me to introduce myself, Lord Baron, my code name is Goshawk, but you don't have to remember it, because this is only a temporary code name, and next time it will be someone else. ”
"That's fine, I don't have the habit of remembering the names of small characters. ”
“...... You're really humorous. ”
"No, I'm notoriously incapable of talking, so let's talk about it quickly, about the Duke of Nafa. Zhang Li looked at him very politely, and the look of vigilance in his eyes was self-evident.
"Actually, you don't have to be so vigilant, human high-ranking people like you are under our protection...... Forget it, I'll cut it short about Duke Facurrest, but first I want to ask you, do you know Ravine Horton?"
"I don't know, but I seem to have heard that whoever is targeted by you will never live to see the sun tomorrow. ”
The Assassin of Ravenhorton shook his head with a wry smile: "Rumors are always exaggerated, in fact we also have enemies that we can't solve. ”
"For example?"
"Duke Facurrest. ”
"So this guy is very good, so you want me to kill him?"
"No, he's not actually very powerful, it's just because he knows us too well, so we can't do anything about him, Duke Facurrest used to be one of the seventy-two councillors......"
