Chapter 14: The Wolves

Ten miles north of Haruna Village, this place has officially belonged to the scope of the Badlands Wasteland, and the extremely harsh natural environment has made the human Varu Empire and the Orc Empire located at the north and south ends of the wasteland choose to ignore this vast wasteland, which makes the Badlands Wasteland become a three-way zone, where all kinds of human and orc villains, criminals, and marauders haunt it.

All kinds of strange-shaped rocks on the wasteland are jagged on the surface, some small scorpions and lizards occasionally shuttle through them, and under the cover of the yellow sand flying in the sky, there are knights standing in the wind and sand in the desolate scene, letting the wind sweep the yellow sand on their bodies, and their crotch riding is a black wolf as tall and strong as a calf.

Baron Cullen of the Varu Empire has sent a message, Boom, the second son of a great nobleman has come to the village of Haruna on the border of the humans in the wasteland, and they will give us a thousand gold coins to kill that nobleman. It's a big deal!" said a tall, burly figure with a thick nasal voice, and from the felt draped over his back, some steel burrs could be faintly seen. Among the knights, this burly figure was the only one who did not ride any mounts, and it was estimated that no giant wolf could move his heavy body.

"Idiot!stupid pig!" a shrill and feminine voice came from a short figure beside him, causing the burly figure to squirm angrily, and if it weren't for the boss's presence here, he would definitely be full of old punches.

"Boss, this is clearly a human conspiracy to lure us out of their enemies with money. Although money is objective, don't forget, the other party is the second son of a great nobleman, if we kill him and cause the other party's family to retaliate, the gain will outweigh the loss!" the sharp voice analyzed.

"You're so scared, don't come out and mingle! You're going to go home and take the children!" The burly figure finally seized the opportunity to mock.

As if enraged, a cold light emerged from the short cloak, and a cold chill made the burly figure shiver, and did not continue to taunt.

"Boss, don't forget, the gerbil tribe and the claw thief group were all wiped out because they provoked people who shouldn't be messed with. The shrill voice reminded again.

A tall and emaciated figure waved his hand from his cloak, stopped his sharp voice, and after he lowered his arm and thought for a moment, he said: "Ogg is right, it is almost winter, if we don't make a few big deals, I'm afraid it will be difficult for our tribe to survive this winter, so no matter how dangerous this trade is, it must be done." As long as we make this vote, it's enough for us to feed the cubs strong,"

The tall and burly Og heard the boss agree with his idea, and smirked at the diminutive figure.

"However, the fine tooth is right, that human nobleman probably doesn't have any good intentions, and wants to use us as gunmen, even if that big nobleman is investigated in the future, it will be a trouble for us, and they can all blame us. He's thinking so beautiful!" Immediately, the boss agreed with the words of the sharp voice and fine teeth.

The boss sneered twice as he spoke, and then ordered: "Finetooth, you tell the little ones to attack Haruna Village at night tonight, but the second son of the human nobleman must be caught alive, when we deliver the goods, let the entrusting party take care of it themselves, the people are captured by us, but if you want to kill them, let them kill them themselves!"

......

In the village of Haruna, of course, Leo did not know about the dealings between Baron Cullen and the Wolves tribe, but when he saw the Roman infantry supporting each other back to the village, he immediately realized that something seemed to be wrong.

Olix took his soldiers back to the village, and with the help of the villagers, arranged for the wounded soldiers to go back to recuperate, and then came to Leo and said with a gloomy face: "Master, I'm afraid something is not quite right. ”

"What's going on, what's going on?" was able to wound the well-trained Roman infantry like this, almost half of the soldiers were seriously wounded, and the rest of the soldiers were also in their own hands, Leo knew that they must have encountered a strong enemy.

"The hunting during the day went well, but in the afternoon a large number of wolves suddenly appeared, and I sent four soldiers to investigate, only to be attacked before they had gone too far. When I led my soldiers to help, we were besieged by wolves, and we managed to get out of the wolves. But fortunately, the wolves seemed to be waiting for something, and did not pursue. Olix said with a sigh of relief.

Leo listened to Olix's experience, and his first thought was, "How far away is the wolves?"

"About three or four miles. Olix estimated the distance and replied.

"Three or four miles of land, it's too close, I'm afraid that they will come and attack the village if they are hungry, and then it will be troublesome. Leo muttered to himself.

Thinking of this, Leo stood up and commanded loudly: "Potter, Aunt Serena, you take the villagers home quickly, strengthen their doors and windows, and never go out at night." ”

After Potter and Aunt Serena arranged for the villagers to go according to Leo's orders, Leo continued to instruct, "Heidi, you can help find a few villagers to take care of the seriously injured soldiers." ”

When Heidi turned to leave, Heidi suddenly turned around, a smile appeared lightly on her delicate face, nodded at Leo, and whispered, "You have to be careful, too." With that, Heidi hurried away.

Hearing Heidi's admonition, the ice expression on Leo's face seemed to melt slightly, and after seeing Heidi's slender figure disappear, Leo turned back to Olix and asked, "At night, you must be vigilant when you take the remaining soldiers who can still fight." ”

"Yes!" Orix commanded.

Everyone went to their respective quarters according to the order, looking at the center of the village where the bonfire had been set up for barbecue, there was no previous lively atmosphere at all, and everyone's hurried faces showed a trace of panic, Leo sighed: "Alas, the strength is still insufficient, and a wolf pack will disturb the village." ”

Feng Xifan comforted Li Ao softly behind him: "Young master don't worry, it's just a little wild wolf, if you really dare to invade my village, the old slave will definitely kill them!"

The breezy words were full of murderous intent, but with Feng Xifan's words, Leo finally felt better, after all, he still had Feng Xifan's big killer on his side, even if there were really wolves attacking Haruna Village, he didn't have to worry about any danger, but he didn't know how many innocent villagers would suffer at that time.

That night, there was not a single cloud in the sky, and the moonlight poured out like mercury all over the earth, as if to spread this glimmer to every corner of the whole world.

Leo was woken up by a series of hurried alarm bells, and Feng Xifan was already standing outside the door. When Leo hurriedly went out, climbed onto the roof of a house at the entrance of the village and looked out, he was immediately shocked.

I saw that as far as the eye could see, there were black figures everywhere constantly surging in the direction of the village, and countless wild wolves were rushing towards the village, and the number was simply terrifying. Leo's eyes narrowed slightly, his pupils narrowed instantly, and he couldn't help but hold his breath, feeling a little flustered.

"Oh my God, there are so many wolves!!" a cry of surprise rang out from the roof next to Leo, and Griman climbed onto the roof at some point.

Griman's exclamation calmed Leo's mood a little, he bit his lower lip, stood up and pointed in the direction of the wolves, and said loudly to Griman and the Roman infantry next to him: "The brave wins when we meet on a narrow road, now this wolf pack is coming for us, the whole village depends on us, if we are still cowardly now, it is certain death, at least we have to fight with them, even if we die, we must die a glorious death!"

Olix answered very upright: "Your will is the direction of our sword!"

Five or six Roman soldiers on night duty around him knelt on one knee, struck their short swords against the round shield, and shouted after Oryx: "Your will is the direction of our sword!"

The shouts of the soldiers could not help but boost their morale and shame the villagers who were hiding in their houses. In Potter's house, Aunt Serena heard the announcement coming from the entrance of the village outside, and there was a hint of determination in her eyes, and she stabbed her husband beside her hard, and whispered to him: "You are also a gentleman, and you should not hide at home at this time." ”

Potter turned his head to look at his wife's encouraging eyes, gritted his teeth and nodded to his wife, bent down and took out a long sword from a wooden box under the bed, held it in his hand, picked up a rag in his left hand and wiped the blade of the sword, and said to his wife as he wiped, "Then I'll go, if ...... If I can't come back......"

At this point, Potter's words paused. Before he could continue, Aunt Selina followed up: "Don't worry, I will take the old and young people in the village to live well, this village needs us." ”

"Well, then I'm relieved. With that, Potter walked to the door, opened it, and as he stepped out the door, Aunt Serena whispered again, "Be careful." ”

This sentence was said softly and softly, it was the gentlest and most heartwarming sentence that Potter had heard from his wife since he got married, and he had never thought that Serena, who had always been rough and bold, would say such gentle words, a trace of tears flashed in his eyes, he glanced back at his wife, nodded vigorously, and closed the door vigorously with a sigh.
