Chapter 176 Summary

"My lord, why do these winter wolf corpses that have fallen into the trap of sheep ribs stay here like this?

The scene in front of me is really shocking, on the field trampled by the tide of demonic beasts, there are all kinds of dead winter wolves lying quietly, and hundreds of winter wolf corpses stretch all the way into the distance. All the dead winter wolves grinned as if they were in extreme pain, but there was not a single scar on their bodies. If you don't know, you will only feel that the scene in front of you is particularly weird, and there is a feeling of numbness in the scalp.

However, the people who followed Lorist out of the city knew that these magical beasts had fallen into the sheep rib trap, and they just sighed that this inconspicuous sheep rib circle trap had such a great effect. There are hundreds of corpses of winter wolves in front of them, and if they are alive, it will be a great danger to these people who leave the city, and the whole army may be wiped out.

"The demon wolf is actually a very intelligent monster, and some experts have determined that the demon wolf has the intelligence of a human child at the age of five or six, and they are the most knowledgeable group of monsters who know how to divide labor and cooperate. Cannibalism of wolves is a kind of helplessness, because the larger the population of the demon wolf, the easier it is to catch prey, but the larger the number of the same population, the more prey is needed, so in the days of lack of food, even if it is the corpse of the same kind, they will not let go, and it is necessary to maintain the development of the population.

Wolves are smart but also suspicious, when the monsters are in full swing, they are not short of food, and so many of the same kind suddenly die for no reason, and the remaining surviving demon wolves will only leave the area in fright. It's like us humans are in a hurry. If one or two suddenly die, we'll stop to find out. But if half of the people suddenly die one by one, then the rest of the people will have to leave the area first. At this point. Human nature and wolf nature are the same. Lorist explained.

"Alright, let's get moving, throw the corpses of these demon wolves in the cart and take them back. With so many intact demon wolf furs, I don't know how happy it would be if the furriers came to see them. Pat shouted to the garrison soldiers with carts.

After being busy for a long time, North came to report: "My lord, there are a total of seven hundred and forty-five winter wolf corpses, shall we go back to the city now?"

Lorist frowned: "No. In total, we threw out more than 2,000 sheep rib circle traps, which is too little. Joe. You take someone around the area to see if there's anything else to be gained. Be careful on the road......"

Joske took people to a good meal in the surrounding area. Hundreds of corpses of various carnivorous monsters were found, such as leopards and clouded leopards, whose corpses were actually hanging on trees, and fierce beasts like lions and tigers who also fell into this sheep rib trap. Rigidly fell on the hill. In the end, I followed the traces and found a big guy.

This is a huge boar with iron sideburns. It weighs two thousand pounds. This behemoth may have been driven mad by the great pain caused by the straightening of the ribs of the sheep in its stomach, and it went on a rampage, breaking trees and rocks, and finally losing its breath in a snowy ditch.

The broken trees and gravel along the way made everyone can't help but chatter, and even Lorist sweated, wondering if he could still work if he encountered such a fierce beast, the nearly meter-long spear was like a toothpick compared to the corpse of the giant beast in front of him.

Elzema came to Lorist's side as he watched as the soldiers tied up the carcass of the behemoth. Preparing to drag this guy out of the snow ditch with a dozen horses, he asked Lorist, "Locke." Next, are we going to continue to pursue the Warcraft tide and rush to the central towns of several other regions?"

Lorist shook his head: "I can't make it." When we set off from Maple Grove Villa, the Monster Tide had just dispersed, so we still had a place to bypass the entire Monster Tide and rush to the front. Now that the tide of Warcraft has fanned out, covering the entire wilderness, we have nowhere to go. If you look at the ground again, the tide of monsters has turned into muddy ground, and our skis are useless and useless. Now we can only resign ourselves to fate and wait for the retreat of the Warcraft tide and the arrival of spring. ”

"Locke, don't worry, with the news from the Knight of Belunek and Yuri, I believe that the Warcraft Tide will not cause us much loss. In fact, here, no one is still afraid of the arrival of the Warcraft tide. El reassured.

"El, I'm scared. Because we're going to go to the four villages in front of us. I was so scared to face that tragic end. These people all followed our northbound convoy to the family territory with great difficulty, and they thought they could settle down and start a new life, but no one expected to usher in the Warcraft tide. It's me who is sorry for them, I feel really uncomfortable......" Lorlist's body trembled.

"Locke, it's not your fault, none of us want that to happen. But since it happened, we have to face it bravely. Let's go, it's time for us to go back to the city, you see, the soldiers are already driving the horses to pull the big guy up......" El patted Lorist on the shoulder: "Brother, don't forget that no matter what happens, I will stand with you." ”

In fact, to the surprise of Lorist and others, everyone thought that the four villages that had already suffered misfortune were not as tragic as they imagined, and at the critical juncture of life and death in the face of the tide of Warcraft, the people in these four villages had their own strange plans and struggled for their own survival.

The fourth village was built on a small hill, and the silver swordsman stationed in this village was Lorist's old acquaintance Paul Binns, who was currently the captain of a squad of scout light cavalry, and was ordered to lead a small team of scout light cavalry to help defend this small village before the winter came, and found that when the tide of monsters came, the whole village was surrounded with ice and snow, and the ice and snow on the hill were frozen with water like Lorist, making it difficult for monsters to climb and saving the lives of a village.

After the herds of herbivorous monsters passed, the village was attacked by more than a dozen snow leopard monsters, killing and wounding more than a dozen people, even Paul Binns was wounded, but the snow leopards were finally driven away, and the village was unharmed. Faced with such a result, Lorist was overjoyed and promoted Paul Binns to become the knight of the family on the spot, fulfilling his long-cherished wish.

The third village was not so lucky. The casualties were severe, with most of the old and weak women and children escaping by hiding in the cellars, while the young and strong and the garrison and a small group of scout hussars stationed in the village were led by a silver swordsman. and a herd of bighorn bulls that attacked the village and fought for their lives in the village, and the whole army was wiped out......

The second cantonment village gave Lorist and the others another surprise, except for the village being trampled to flat ground, all personnel and materials were not lost. This is mainly because the village is set up halfway up a rocky mountain, next to a large stone cave. When the monster tide was discovered, the people and food and other materials in the village were transferred to the big stone cave, and the entrance of the cave was closed, and the catastrophe was successfully escaped.

The worst was the first cantonment village, where only 17 of the 3,000 people survived. The Monster Tide arrived here in the middle of the night. The members of the garrison who were keeping vigil on the city wall thought that a small group of demonic beasts had come to spoil the newly cultivated fields, so they threw arrows and torches from the city wall to drive them away, which angered the horde of demonic beasts. The village was attacked. The seventeen surviving people survived until the end of their lives by hiding in the ruins in the cracks of the collapsed wooden houses......

......

On March 18, it was a rainy spring day, and the halls of the Rock Castle were full of people. All the knights and civil officials of the Norton family listened seriously to Shi Fatzi's report and summary of this winter Warcraft tide.

“...... This winter wave of demonic beasts caused the family to lose nearly 10,000 people and more than 1,000 heroic family soldiers. There are also seven silver swordsmen and three knights of the family. The biggest person responsible for me is that I hastily launched the wasteland development plan without thoroughly understanding the family territory and without doing a detailed investigation, so that the family suffered heavy losses when the Warcraft Tide came.

In particular, after receiving the notification from the messenger sent by the adults, I still didn't care about the Warcraft Tide, and I didn't even pay attention to it, and I set up a blocking position near the central town of the Third District, and gathered the family force to prepare to destroy the Warcraft Tide. If it weren't for the fact that the Lord sent the knights of Bérunek and others to bring the idea of pouring water on the city to build an ice wall. I almost let my clan be wiped out in the tide of Warcraft. In these matters, my responsibility cannot be shirked. I ask the adults to punish me......"

Lorlist's face sank like water, he never dreamed that when the winter Warcraft tide came, Shi Fatzi would behave like a model of a pig teammate, and Jim and the other four people spent two days and one night rushing to the Rock Castle to report the news of the winter Warcraft tide, Shi Fatzi didn't think so, he thought that the so-called Warcraft were those herbivorous Warcraft such as demon sheep and demon deer, but there were more of them. He also said to Bodefinger unashamedly that the arrival of these demonic beasts can just replenish our family's food consumption.

It took seven days for Shi Fat Man and Bodefinger to set off as a team, and it took more than ten days to reach the third district because of the heavy snow road closure, and happened to meet Beilunek and others who came to convey the order to water and build the city, and then Shi Fatzi ignored the opposition of Bodefinger and Beruneck, and ordered 20,000 family soldiers to pile up snow to build a wall, build a blocking position, and prepare to eliminate the tide of demonic beasts.

When Lorist heard the news, he could only smile bitterly, Shi Fatzi regarded the Warcraft Tide as a human enemy, thinking that it was equally vulnerable, and the enemy was so light, but he didn't want to think that the longbows and crossbows in the hands of the soldiers could cause effective damage to those large Warcraft only a few.

When the tide of demonic beasts swept into the third district, they encountered the blocking position set up by Shi Fatzi and others, and at the beginning, the longbows of the family soldiers could also cause damage to small herbivorous demonic beasts, and when the boundless demonic cow behind them, the five or six meter-tall mammoth demon, appeared, everyone was stunned. Fortunately, Bode Finger made a quick decision and directly ordered all the soldiers to immediately retreat to the central town of the third district, and desperately poured water to build an ice city, so as to avoid the pursuit of the monster tide and keep the family arms of more than 20,000 people.

Then the family army of more than 20,000 people that Lorist had high hopes for was trapped in the central town of the third district for more than a month, not only depleting the food reserves of the central town of the third district, but also starving for several days, until the tide of demonic beasts receded, he went out of the city to fight some demonic beasts to fill his stomach, and returned to the rock castle with no morale......

"I announce the removal of the Sredder Knight from the position of the original development director of Fengleyuan, and at the same time remove the Sredder Knight from the position of the chief knight of the Sredder Knight family, and demote him to an ordinary family knight. The position of director of development at Richford is temporarily represented by Sedkamp. Lorist stood up and announced his punishment for Fat Shi.

"In the family territory, the coming of the Winter Warcraft Tide is something that many of us have never heard of and never seen, but because of this, we have lost the confidence to develop Fengle Yuan? Lorist said.

Next, Lorist gave a detailed account of what he did in the central town of the Sixth District, and even took out a sheep rib to demonstrate how to set a trap: "It turns out that as long as we have a strong wall to protect us, the arrival of the Warcraft Tide will provide us with a good opportunity for winter hunting." With the right arrangement, we can even use the city walls as a trap for hunting magical beasts. Of course, we also have to be careful not to tease when there are those powerful large herbivorous monsters around. Luring those small, low-fighting herbivorous beasts into the city at the right time will not only allow us to obtain large quantities of fresh meat and fur, but also make the new lords fearless of the monster tide and full of confidence in the future. ”

Lorist also introduced the situation of the four villages: "From the situation of each of these four villages in the tide of Warcraft, it shows that even the villages of Tun Reclamation can also avoid the Warcraft herd, first, there are excellent defense facilities, and second, there is a reliable way to retreat, such as caves or cellars. You can survive the winter Warcraft tide unharmed. ”

"So, the new year has begun, and this year our family's focus is on building the walls and civil facilities of the central towns and villages of the 2nd to 7th districts, and we must make it safe and secure for the new residents. At present, although the tide of Warcraft has receded, there are still a large number of Warcraft stranded in Fengle Yuan. Starting tomorrow, the clan forces will go all out to sweep away the demonic beasts in the entire wasteland, on the one hand, to obtain meat supplements, and on the other hand, to ensure the safety of the family territory, so that the vast number of people who work have no worries. ”

"Sedercamp, the focus of your work this year is to build six central towns, and I will ask Miss Dressy to arrange for the designers of the original city headquarters to come up with six central town designs as soon as possible and build them according to the drawings. In addition, those villages should also build defensive walls and arrange reliable retreats. As for the reclamation of wasteland, we can arrange to plant potatoes and the like to supplement the consumption of food, and the family will also buy a large amount of food from outside for storage. ”

"In addition, the sixteen Silver Swordsmen who have made meritorious contributions in the crisis of the Winter Warcraft Tide will be promoted to family knights, and other meritorious personnel will also have their own rewards. I hope that everyone here usually thinks about it, brainstorms, and sees if there is any good way to stop the destruction of the family territory by the Warcraft tide, and you can write your own way to tell us in the letter that the prosperity and development of the family territory is inseparable from the joint efforts of all of us. Please, everyone. ”

After the meeting ended, Lorist left Shi Fat Man behind. Although Shi Fatzi was deprived of the post of director of development, this does not mean that Shi Fatzi should be refrigerated.

"Brother Shi, I handed over the Rock Castle and the Mountain City to you, these two places have not been harmed by the Demon Beast Tide, so you are responsible. The first is the construction of the mountain castle and the development of the fields, and the second is the planning and construction of the castle behind the rock castle and the reclamation and distribution of the surrounding wasteland. When Fengle Yuan was unable to avoid the harm of the Demon Beast Tide, the food produced in these two places in the future would be related to the survival of the family territory. In addition, I am going to build a new town here, where the Blade Mountains and the Morgen Hills meet. The inhabitants of this town will be the families of all the miners and blacksmiths, this is our family's industrial city, and this will be our family's weapons production base. Do you understand the importance of this place?"

Shi Fatzi nodded: "Locke, big brother, thank you, please rest assured, as a brother, I will not let you down again." ”
