Chapter 19: Invasion of Demonic Beasts

"Alert, all guards, on the wall. In the trading base, the moment the bell rang, the fires on the surrounding stone walls were continuously and rapidly ignited, and dozens of guards scattered on the walls of less than two thousand meters of the whole field, each alone guarding an area. The wall is not high, only about four meters, and it is not strong, all the walls are built with the soil method on the orc grassland, that is, with animal blood, clay, and stones, such a wall can block ordinary monsters, but it is impossible to deal with large-scale monster invasions.

Of course, these walls were not originally prepared to deal with the invasion of Warcraft, in the edge of the grassland, there has never been a large-scale Warcraft invasion, never in history, even ordinary small Warcraft invasions rarely appear, at most dozens of low-level Warcraft groups passing by the stronghold, looking curiously for a while. Therefore, there are very few guards in each stronghold, only a few dozen, just to maintain law and order and deal with some small-scale demonic beasts that suddenly appeared, and the number of them cannot defend all the city walls at all, so they can only borrow the flames behind them to deter the attacking demonic beasts.

"Why is it so hard to get a good night's sleep?" Catherine smiled bitterly, and within a few minutes of her saying that she could sleep well at night, the cruel reality gave her a heavy blow, so that she could only let out a wry smile: "Mr. Palch, this kind of thing often happens on your grasslands?"

"No, it's unprecedented for a trading base. Tigerman Palch shook his head violently, "At least I've never heard of it." ”

The noise on the street was getting noisier and louder, and it seemed that more and more people were coming and going, and Catherine looked around and suddenly asked, "Why don't we go out and have a look?"

"It's good to go check it out. Pannis thought about it for a moment and nodded, "I don't know what happened." ”

"Then let's go check it out. Catherine, in her style of doing things without delay, stood up from the table and picked up the shield leaning aside: "Marcia, and Mr. Palci, are you going to have a look, or are you waiting here?"

"Let's go along, maybe we can help. Marcia looked at the food on the table with some pity. Sighed: "I hope I can come back in time to eat them while they are hot." ”

"Then I'll go too. Palch hesitated, then nodded, "In this case, every orc will go to war." ”

Palci was right, and his claims were verified as soon as he took to the streets. If in most human cities. In such a situation, the vast majority of civilians who are incapable of fighting will hide in their homes, hoping to escape the threat of death, and only under special circumstances will these civilians rush to the streets and fight desperately with their opponents. But the orcs are different here. After the warning of war was issued, the first reaction of these civilians was not to flee back and hide, but to flee home, and rush out of the house again with all kinds of weapons at home, ready to fight the attacking monsters.

The leopard girl holding two large scissors may be the proprietress of the tailor shop next door, the bear man carrying the hammer, the apprentice of the blacksmith shop, the catwoman climbing the tallest building to look outside, or the waitress in the tavern that has just served everyone. Most of the adult orcs, young and old, men and women, came out of the building, armed with whatever weapons they could find, and as if they had rehearsed countless times, hundreds of them gathered together, and then spontaneously climbed the city walls, spreading out on both sides of the city guard, spontaneously trying to fill the holes in the defensive line.

"Seeing such a scene. Suddenly a little moved. Catherine sighed: "Although these people are just ordinary people among the orcs, their fighting ** and fighting instincts are still admirable. ”

"There are no civilians among the orcs, and an adult orc, even if not a professional. It can also fight two fully armed human warriors. Pannis explained: "But their momentum is really commendable. ”

"Blood, this is the bloodiness of the steppe people. Marcia slapped the giant sword on his back with his backhand: "Let's go up to the wall too, if it's really a monster attack, I'm afraid I can't stop this person." ”

"I smelled the children. Lina had been following everyone behind and holding Vivien in a trance, when she suddenly said, "It's a nostalgic taste." ”

Hearing Lina's voice, Marcia subconsciously looked at her. Her first reaction was to jump backwards and almost pull out the greatsword she was carrying. In her first instinct, she saw not a person, but a giant wolf. But when she looked carefully with her eyes, she found that it was Lina standing in front of her, not a giant wolf, and these two different pieces of information made her feel very confused, holding the hilt of the sword in both hands, not knowing if she had taken off her weapon.

"It's okay, don't be nervous, it's a friend. Catherine patted Marcia on the shoulder and soothed, then smiled at Lina: "Long time no see, Diana, why did you come out all of a sudden?"

"I felt the smell of my hometown and smelled the children, and I couldn't help it, so I discussed with Lina and changed the location. Diana, who used to be the wolf king, first grinned at Marcia, showing Bai Sensen's teeth, even if Marcia was a gold-level warrior, she could not control a few steps back in the face of this threat from the legendary wolf king. After punishing the human who wanted to draw her sword and offend her majesty, Diana nodded to Catherine, looking at Catherine and Vivien's eyes as if she were her own child: "Thank you for always taking such good care of this child, she has told us many times that we should never be separated from you again." ”

"Of course she won't be separated as long as she wants to. Catherine nodded heavily and patted Vivien's head, "Did you say?"

"What?" Vivien looked around in confusion, and when she saw Lina, she was puzzled at first, but under Catherine's whispering prompting, she quickly recognized the person in front of her, and saluted politely, "Hello, Diana...... Auntie?"

"Just call Diana, there are no such complicated names in the wolves. Even the wolf king was amused by Vivian: "Needless to say politely, are you in trouble?" When we exchanged just now, I heard Lina say that it was quite messy outside, do you need help?"

"It's not a trouble, it's just a demonic beast attack, and I don't know the scale yet. Catherine refused: "We don't need your help for the time being, maybe we won't even need it, the orcs can solve it themselves, we want to go up and have a look just because we don't feel at ease." ”

"Then go up. Diana was the first to walk towards the stone wall, and as she passed by Pannis, she suddenly snorted heavily, her eyes full of annoyance and helplessness.

"What's the situation?" said Pannis, pointing innocently to his nose and turning to Catherine, "I didn't say anything." ”

Diana is said to be one of Lina's first friends, and watching Lina grow up as a child, her feelings for Lina are probably similar to that of a mother to her daughter. Catherine explained to Pannis, and in the middle of speaking, she suddenly glared at Pannis, snorted heavily, and turned away.

At this moment, Pannis felt that he was the most innocent person in the world, so he could only grow his mouth and look at Vivien blankly. Vivien looked up at Pannis, who had a strange expression, and asked confusedly, "What's the matter?" What did you do to make the eldest sister and Lina angry?"

"That's what I want to know. Pannis said with a sad face, "If I did do something, the problem is that I didn't have time to do anything." ”

"Oh. Vivien nodded, chased after Catherine, and snorted as she passed by Pannis.

"Hey, why are you doing that?" asked Pannis, angrily.

"Both the eldest sister and Lina did it. Vivian said confidently: "I don't know why, but I can't be left behind. ”

"Is there justice or justice in the world? Pannis shouted aggrievedly.

Marcia cast a helpless expression at Pannis, and only the tiger man Palch patted Pannis's shoulder comfortingly: "So, you human women are just strange, or orc girls, and you will never let you guess." ”

Ascending the stone wall, the battle had not yet begun, and all the orcs were on guard in the light of the brazier behind them. Under the stone wall, in the shadows that the firelight could not illuminate, a pair of green eyes were densely hidden in the tall grass, and there were countless of them, and I could only see that the grass in that area had been shaking continuously. In the night air, the smell of the beast, the smell of blood, came from the wind.

"How many of you are here to help?" A commander-like bear orc greeted him, and before he finished speaking, he was suddenly stunned, and said with joy: "It turned out to be the Marcia warrior of the God of War Temple, and he also brought a few gold-level powerhouses, now it's okay." I'm the head of the Warhammer stronghold, the thousand-man commander Jonathan, and of course I'm on duty now, and there are only these forty-four people in the army. ”

"Nelly's Adventure Party, Leader Catherine. Catherine stretched out her hand and shook Johnnathan's hand, and asked directly in the style of an orc: "How is the situation, are you sure that it is a demonic beast attack?"

"It's the Silver Wolf, the fiercest wolf in the grasslands, and there has never been a precedent for wolves to invade a stronghold. Jonathan replied: "There are at least three hundred of them, ranging in strength from bronze to gold, but the overall strength is very strong, and if there is a battle, although our men will definitely win the final victory, the untrained civilians will lose at least a third." ”

"We'll help. Catherine looked at the green eyes not far away seriously: "Although there is no commission, but since I have seen it, as a knight, I can't watch the civilian casualties." ”

~~~~~Although it was impossible, the wolves not far away seemed to sense Catherine's words, and let out a terrible wolf howl in the grass, followed by all the silver wolves echoing with howls at the same time, and the ominous howls spread all over the grassland (to be continued). )
