Chapter 184: Letter from the Earl of Kenmeth

“...... With their heads down, their eyes red, and their horns shining with cold light, they let out a mooing howl and rushed madly into the walls of earth and ice. Ice and snow were splashing, mud walls were shaking, and the soldiers were desperately stabbing these crazy demon cows with their spears, one demon cow fell, but more demon cows rushed over...... Standing on a high place, all you can see is the boundless herd of demon cows, tens of thousands of demon cows rushing towards them, and the overwhelming momentum will only make people feel suffocated, powerless and desperate......"

Earl Kenmath took a sip of the amber fruit wine in the silver cup, and continued to tell the story of his imaginary battle between the Norton family and the Warcraft tide, and beside him, more than a dozen ladies and ladies dressed in fancy clothes gathered to listen to him with curiosity about the battle between man and Warcraft.

“...... A huge demon bull slammed into the sturdy shield, the shield was torn apart, and the soldier with the shield was thrown into the sky from a high position, and when he landed, he was seriously injured and unconscious. Several soldiers beside him used their spears to resist the Devil's charge, but the Devil's Bull turned around, and the spear stuck in it was instantly broken...... At this time, the horn sounded, and the soldiers finally breathed a sigh of relief, this was the order to retreat to the second line of defense, and the soldiers with heavy casualties withdrew to the high stone barrier with their wounded comrades while resisting the demon bull......"

"This stone rampart is taller and stronger than the first line of defense, and there are many crossbows on it. Release, with an order, crossbow arrows like spears flew out, and the demon bulls at the forefront fell one after another. The soldiers thundered with joy. But at this moment. There was another howl in the distance. There were many behemoths that rushed out of the wind and snow, they were five or six meters tall, covered with thick long hair, with two huge and curved fangs at the corners of their mouths, and a long, strong nose, and every step they took left a deep footprint in the snow......"

This is the former Grand Duchy's residence in the city of Gildusk, which is now used by the second prince as his own residence.

Today is the last day of the year 1770 in the universal calendar of Galintya. Together with his empress, the second prince will welcome the New Year with the nobles of the Iberian kingdom and celebrate the New Year with a grand banquet and an all-night ball.

Outside, it was snowy, but inside the Grand Duke's Mansion was warm as spring, and the fireplaces and brass dragons hidden under the floor tiles were constantly emitting heat. Aristocrats in splendid dresses and handsome ladies and ladies abounded, chatting in small circles or introducing each other to new acquaintances, all waiting for the New Year's bell to ring.

At this time, Earl Kenmeth also fulfilled his agreement with Lorlist, facing a group of beautiful noble ladies and young ladies, vigorously promoting the heroic feat of the Norton family against the tide of Warcraft.

“...... These huge mammoths with crossbow arrows stuck in their bodies frantically whipped their noses against the stone barriers. The crossbows of the garrison were smashed to pieces, and the soldiers were pumped into the sky like scarecrows. Everyone collapsed and had to run in all directions. And these mammoth demons, these huge demons easily caught up with them, and the huge elephants stepped down, and the snow was a cloud of bright red meatloaf......"

"It's terrible......" Several young ladies with disgraced faces hugged each other, trembling.

"What terrible story is our dear Earl Kenmax telling to coax these lovely young ladies?" a voice sounded behind the crowd.

Count Kenmeth hurriedly got up, put down the silver cup in his hand, and bowed respectfully: "Your Majesty the King, Your Majesty the Beautiful Queen, and the goddess of my heart, Her Royal Highness Princess Celevia, your humble servants salute you......"

The ladies and ladies gathered around Count Kenmath hurriedly flashed aside, and bowed to the visitors one after another.

The second prince at the front showed an amiable smile and repeatedly signaled that everyone didn't need to be polite, but the queen who followed him next to him pursed her lips and just nodded indifferently at everyone. Princess Celivia, who was standing beside the queen, smiled and bowed halfway to the ladies and ladies present.

"I seem to have heard you talk about the scene of the legendary battle just now, what epic is it about?, my Earl?" the second prince asked casually.

"Oh no, my Majesty, it is the reality that I am telling of this moment. While I enjoyed the night with these beautiful ladies and ladies, the soldiers of the Norton family were engaged in a hard-fought battle against the tide of monsters that had swept through the family's territory...... "Count Kenmeth replied.

"Warcraft Tide?Norton Family?Can you tell me what's going on?" the second prince asked, with a twinkle in his eyes.

The queen suddenly interjected: "Are you talking about the Baron Norton who repeatedly refused the king's kind invitations and never came to see him, he doesn't seem to have our honorable majesty the king in his eyes......"

The second prince's face twitched, and he said with a smile: "If there is such a big event as the Demonic Beast Tide in his territory, then rejecting my invitation is just a last resort." I believe that as long as the Norton family's territory is peaceful, then Baron Norton will naturally come to show his respect to me, do you say Earl Kenmax?"

The second prince asked Count Kenmeth, but his eyes stared fiercely at his queen. But the queen snorted lightly from her nose, looked up at the roof, and didn't pay attention to the second prince's eyes at all.

"Of course, Your Majesty the King. Baron Norton has also been very sorry not to be able to attend the New Year's celebrations. It's just that every winter, his family territory is always attacked by the tide of demonic beasts, so he can't get out, and he doesn't mean to snub His Majesty's invitation......

I once saw a record of the Warcraft tide in the "Northland Travels" written by Earl Vergran, which said that every winter, the Warcraft from the Barbarian Plains would sweep the Northland, and our family had never heard of the Warcraft Tide since we came to the Northland, and thought that the Warcraft tide had long since disappeared.

Now I know that it was the Norton family who blocked the invasion of the Northland by the Warcraft tide. I asked some old people in the Northland who had an impression of the Warcraft tide, and they said that the number of Warcraft that swept through the Norton family's territory was nearly a million a year, and it was unstoppable...... "Count Kenmax first defended Lorlist. Then he explained in detail the origin of the Lower Warcraft Tide.

"I see. My Lord Count. Please greet Baron Norton and his valiant family soldiers on my behalf, and show my respect for their fight against the Beast tide. The time is almost up, and we have to go to the hall and wait for the New Year's bell to ring, hoping that all the beautiful ladies and ladies will have a wonderful evening. Let's take our leave, see you at the ball......" The second prince politely greeted everyone present.

However, Princess Celivia stepped forward and said, "Lord Count Kenmeth, may I make a request?"

"Of course, my princess, your wish is my mission. As long as I can do it. We will definitely fulfill your request. Count Kenmeth bowed deeply, and the ladies and ladies present also looked at Princess Celivia curiously.

Princess Celevia's face turned a little red: "That's the case, I just heard you talk about the Norton family and the Warcraft fighting to the death, please forgive me for my presumptuousness, I haven't seen the Warcraft tide, and I don't know what those Warcraft look like, if you can, can you please bring a letter to Baron Norton and ask him to send a few Warcraft that died in battle? I know that those are the trophies of their family, so I would like to offer a hundred gold fords as a token of my condolences to those valiant warriors. I wonder if my request would be too rude......"

"Oh. No, my goddess. Dear Highness the Princess, your request is nothing more than a trivial matter. I'm sure Baron Norton will happily agree to bring you those loot as your New Year's gift. Rest assured, tomorrow I will send him a messenger to fulfill your wish as soon as possible. Count Kenmath agreed.

"Then thank you, Lord Earl, for your help, I will take my leave. Princess Celivia saluted again and turned to leave.

"It's time for us to go to the hall, the bell is about to ring, and the new year is coming. Count Kenmax said to a few beautiful ladies and ladies beside him.

"Why should you go and follow your goddess, why are you mingling with us mortals?" said a plump noblewoman, pouting unhappily. The expression was clearly a little jealous of Count Kenmax's devotion to Princess Celevia.

Count Kenmath put his arm around her waist and said with a smile, "The goddess is here to be offered, and you are my treasures." How can the goddess on high have you treasures ********. Baby, I'm mortal too, and we mortals should be together to find happiness......

The bell rang and echoed in the sky and earth with flying snowflakes, and the new year had arrived.

......

As the nobles of the Grand Duke's Mansion of Gildusk raised their silver cups and cheered for the arrival of the new year, the bitter Lorist was lying on the snowy slope with a group of men watching the end of the tide of monsters.

"My lord, the scale of this year's Warcraft Tide seems to be less than half of last year's, and the population of demonic bulls we lured to the Isthmus of Crewe Circle is only about sixty or seventy thousand, not even half of last year's......" It was Joske who spoke, as a sharpshooter, his eyes were much sharper and more accurate than ordinary people.

Lorist nodded: "We should go too, or those winter wolves and snow leopards roaming around will haunt us later." The remaining demonic beasts are only about four or five hundred thousand, and ordered Dorus to take three chariot battalions to wipe out the demonic bulls in the Isthmus of the Crewe Circle as soon as possible, and then turn to the fourth district, where we will meet, and this year we must leave all the remaining demonic beasts on the Fengle Plain, then there may be no demonic beast tide next winter......"

Fifteen days later, Lorist led more than 30,000 family soldiers to build three ice and snow walls around the central town in the fourth district of Fengle Yuan, preparing to rely on these three ice walls to wipe out all the demonic beasts in this place.

This time, the knights of Vasimma, who were in charge of guarding the Rock Castle, sent several soldiers and brought a messenger to Lorist.

"You are a messenger sent by Count Kenmeth, from the city of Gildusk?" Lorist looked at the man in front of him strangely, and wondered what was going on, Count Kenmeth sent someone to deliver the letter in the cold and such a heavy snowstorm.

"Yes, yes, my lordship, this is a handwritten letter from the Earl. The visitor shuddered and took out a letter from his bosom with great difficulty.

Lorist wants to scold, Lao Tzu is fighting with Warcraft here, and this guy Kenmax is accompanied by a beautiful woman and even wants me to send him the body of Warcraft to show off. Say what is a New Year's gift for Princess Celevia. The more the merrier. Purely full of food to hold on......

Wait, Lorist thought for a moment, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a wicked smile.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Courier, as you see, this is our last line of defense, with only three walls of ice. The Warcraft tide will soon sweep here. In this time of crisis, we simply cannot afford to complete the commission of the Earl of Kenmeth. Otherwise. How about you make another trip to your family territory, bring some people from your territory, and I'll let the family soldiers transport the corpses of the monsters to the open space in front of the Rock Castle so that you can transport them?" Lorist said to the messenger with a wry smile.

"That's it......" The messenger also had a bitter face, usually it only took five or six days to run from Gildusk City to the Rock Castle on a fast horse, but it took them fourteen days to arrive in such a snowy weather, and everyone suffered so much that they really didn't want to go to the family territory again.

Lorist was observant and knew what the Messenger was distressed about.

"How many of you are here?" asked Lorlist.

"Seven men, with ten horses. The rest of them are now waiting for a reply at Rock Castle. The messenger replied.

"How many days did it take to get here?"

"For fourteen days, I lost a horse on the road. ”

"I'm sorry for you. Such weather came to deliver letters. But as you can see, there's really nothing we can do. The Earl said in the letter that I want you to cooperate with us unconditionally and send the corpse of the monster to Gildusk City as soon as possible, and the fastest way is for you to send manpower from the family territory. In this case, I will have my men prepare you a sleigh and let your horses pull you to the family territory, and I am sure that the journey will be very smooth and fast. Reddy, take the messenger back to Rock Castle, prepare the sleigh for them, and give each of them two goldfords, and the Mr. Messenger five. It's hard for them to deliver letters in such weather. ”

Lorist's generosity overjoyed the messenger, who suddenly felt less cold and full of energy. But before leaving, he still asked: "My lord, how many men and horses should we send to transport?"

Lorist stretched out a finger: "More than a thousand people, there are many corpses of demonic beasts, I am ready to transport some of each demonic beast to your Earl." ”

Five days later, the Monster Tide arrived in the central town of the Fourth Ward as scheduled, and then launched a wave of death-defying attacks on the three ice wall defenses set up by Lorlist, but unfortunately, under the concentrated fire of more than 3,000 steel crossbows and thousands of longbowmen, the corpses were strewn all over the field. Even the nearly 100 mammoth demons that were unrivaled could only fall unwillingly in front of the steel crossbow......

When the last one-horned demon rhino collapsed on the muddy snow, all the family soldiers abandoned their weapons and let out a thunderous cheer. Lorist and all the clan knights had smiles on their faces, this winter's Warcraft tide had been wiped out here, and from this moment on, the Warcraft tide that had trapped the family territory for hundreds of years would become a resounding sound.

"Dores, put your chariot battalion in order, replace the unusable steel crossbows, and immediately clean up and sweep the carnivorous monsters that roam around the Warcraft tide. ”

"Tiger Ross, you take the Iron Armored Lancer Battalion to be responsible for the security of the Chariot Battalion, and coordinate to sweep away those carnivorous demonic beasts. Telman, your Knights are also on their way. ”

"Josk, you take the archery battalion to block the area from Woniugang to Maple Grove Villa, I don't want any of the demonic beasts that slipped through the net to run back to the barbarian plains. ”

"Borg, your two heavily armored barracks are set up in place, responsible for the security of this area, and protecting the people who collect the corpses of these monsters from being attacked by those carnivorous monsters. ”

"Brother Shi, the corpses of the demonic beasts in this area will be handed over to you to clean up. ”

"Yuri, after your Ranger Battalion is swept by the Chariot Battalion, you will follow behind to clean up the area again, and try not to let the demonic beasts that have slipped through the net be affected by the spring ploughing that will go down. ”

Lorist was in high spirits, and a series of orders were given.

Then he remembered the letter from Count Kenmeth, and called El: "El, go and choose some magical beasts, remove the crossbow arrows from their bodies, and change them into sword marks and gunshot wounds, so that no one can see that it is the fatal damage caused by iron crossbow arrows, you can get some broken guns and swords to stick in them, to make people feel that we have worked hard to clean up these magical beasts." Then transport them to the open space in front of the Rock Castle, and hand them over to them when the Earl of Kenmeth's party arrives......"

El laughed: "Locke, are you making any plans again?" Okay, so that the affairs of the Yin people will be left to me, and I will ensure that the cleaning is done properly so that people can't see the end ......of the hand."
