NO.0498 RETURN TO THE CITY OF COLD WINDS
About five months later, the western plaguelands were in the south.
"Finally back to this place again. Yang Long turned his head to look at the ice and snow mountains that had been left behind him, and set his eyes on the outline of the city about five or six kilometers away, and said with a faint nostalgia in his heart: "Xueni, do you remember what happened at the beginning?"
The City of the Cold Wind, the name of the city.
Since the destruction of the city of Northford and the slaughter of Macriel and tens of thousands of professionals, Yang Long led the remaining soldiers of the Ming family army of about 4,000 or so through the walls of Soladin and into the Alterac Mountains, and finally came here.
At a certain moment more than 20 years ago, after Yang Long came here alone, he accidentally met Xueni, who was still very immature at the beginning, and after subduing her, after a series of getting along, he finally made her his disciple.
Although these are all "Yang Long before the past" experience, they have left a lot of marks in his heart.
Xue Ni, who was standing beside Yang Long, also had an obvious look of memory on her face, but it didn't last long, and she quickly put her attention back on Yang Long, and leaned towards Yang Long without a trace: "Xue Ni only remembers that the teacher's embrace is very warm. ”
This kind of answer made Yang Long stagnate, and after glancing at the disciple who took the opportunity to express his heart, he felt a little helpless.
After that exhausting argument, Yang Long has clearly felt that Xue Ni's attitude towards himself has become more and more clingy in the past few months, and he will confide in him at every opportunity, which makes Yang Long really a little unguarded.
"Yes? I forgot. Yang Long deliberately said such a sentence. A trace of anger flashed on Xue Ni's face, but she didn't give her disciple a chance to play again, and turned her face to look at Dolly with a straight face: "How's the investigation?"
As a city located in the Western Plaguelands, the City of Cold Wind should not escape the destruction of the undead natural scourge.
When Yang Long led his army here, he found very obvious traces of human activity, as well as the banner of the army that clearly occupied the city, and it was very obvious that this was a city controlled by a certain force.
Being able to keep this material-starved city from being captured under the threat of the Scourge's Legion was itself a testament to the fact that it was in the hands of a powerful force, and Yang Long didn't believe that he could do it just by relying on the original city lord.
Sure enough, after Yang Long asked. Dolly immediately replied, "Young Master." His subordinates have found out that the current control of the City of Cold Wind belongs to an organization called Silver Dawn, which has more than 100,000 troops in the city, as well as three pseudo-super-rank powerhouses. ”
"Silver Dawn? looks like the war of six or seven years ago. It's going pretty well!" Yang Long remembered the three choices at the beginning. I can't help but feel a little ridiculous and childish in my heart. I am very dissatisfied with my former self.
According to Yang Long's character now, the so-called fate or not will not make him lose control of his mind at all.
"Only the weak are afraid of fate. will choose to escape to cope. Yang Long had a clear idea in his heart, without a little nervousness and uneasiness, but felt a fighting spirit: "Facing fate and bending and changing it, this is my style!"
Quickly suppressing the thoughts in his mind, Yang Long shifted his attention to the matter in front of him, and after thinking for a while, he lightly opened his mouth and ordered: "Since it is the Silver Dawn, then let's go and take a look." ”
"Yes, young master. Dolly bowed in answer and strode away to take command of the army.
Bringing the remaining army of the Grofe family with him was actually not Yang Long's own wish, according to his own original idea, that is, after taking Macriel away, it was enough to rely on only five people to continue to move forward.
For the current Yang Long, the slaves whose strength has not reached the top level are just worthless cannon fodder.
However, although Yang Long thinks that he is not a good person, he is not a completely unreasonable madman, although the average strength of more than 4,000 dead soldiers is not high-level, but they are also loyal servants who will never betray.
As long as it is a truly loyal subordinate, there is not much difference in attitude between Yang Long in the past and now.
Therefore, it was only a five-month march, which exhausted Yang Long's patience little by little, and if he hadn't encountered the city controlled by Silver Dawn, he would definitely command his family army to storm the Scourge Undead stronghold in the near future.
"If the rulers of this city aren't so disgusting, leave these burdens here. Looking at the army that was fully equipped and heading towards the City of Cold Winds, Yang Long made a silent decision in his heart.
The distance of five or six kilometers was not far, but in less than an hour and a half, Yang Long arrived at the city gate with his army.
More than 4,000 people said more than a little less, and the unobstructed view on the plains near the City of Cold Wind had already attracted the attention of the city defenders, but in this land full of undead, the identity of the human was a lot more reassuring to the other party.
Therefore, when Yang Long arrived, the leader of the City of Cold Wind had already come to the city gate to greet him, and after a brief negotiation, Yang Long, Xueni, Minnie, Matilda, Alexia, and Dolly were invited to the city hall.
"So you're the Marquis of Grovefe. "The current city lord of the City of Cold Winds was a human man who looked to be thirty-seven or eighteen years old and had short brown hair and was extremely energetic, and immediately exclaimed after learning Yang Long's identity: "You are really amazing!"
"Presiding over the extermination of the Defia Brotherhood, killing the pseudo-super-rank powerhouse Van Cleef with top-tier strength, uncovering Onexia's conspiracy to regenerate the Stormwind Kingdom, and helping King Ureon kill the Black Dragon Princess, you have done something that many people can't do in their lifetime!"
The city lord, who represented the Silver Dawn position and had a respectful face, said with great admiration: "I, Ashram, I admire you very much. ”
Ashram Valofest, a Thirteenth-Order Superior Defense Warrior born and raised in the Stormwind Kingdom, joined the Scarlet Crusade more than a decade ago, and made great contributions to the founding of Silver Dawn.
As a result of that call to the entire Eastern Continent six or seven years ago, Silver Dawn has received strong support from the Dwarven Kingdom of Kazmodan and the Kingdom of Stormwind, and many new forces join the war every year.
So in the past ten years, as a shining star, Yang Long's deeds for the Storm King Kingdom one after another, and being crowned a marquis by Varian Ureon, have also been passed on to the front line of the battle against the Scourge Legion.
After all, Yang Long's own Lordanlun nobleman, as well as his status as an upstart in the Storm Wind Kingdom, can boost the morale of many professionals who participate in the war, and at the same time, he can also secretly fight for the interests of the Storm Wind Kingdom politically, which is secretly fueled a lot.
It is for this reason that although Yang Long has changed his appearance, he has been known to the humans in every plague area.
"You are the warrior who deserves our respect more than you who take the initiative to abandon your comfortable life and devote yourself to the great cause of exterminating the souls of the natural disasters!" Yang Long politely said, and immediately got to the point: "I need your help, Lord Valofister." ”
Maybe it was a little uncomfortable with Yang Long's thinking, Ashram Valofister was slightly stunned.
However, the man who held the power in his hand quickly woke up from his sluggishness, put away the polite smile on his face, looked at Yang Long and said seriously: "Lord Grofe, if there is a place for the Silver Dawn to help you, just ask." ”
"This time I brought more than 4,000 soldiers. Yang Long ignored the language traps in the other party's words, and said what he thought directly: "From now on, they will assist you in the battle and jointly protect this city." ”
"Ahh
"In addition, please provide some exact information, I will be with a few of my subordinates" Yang Long's eyes flickered over the four women, and finally looked directly at the Silver Dawn City Lord again: "Launch a surprise attack to storm the Psychic Academy." ”
Before the words fell, Ashram Valofest jumped up suddenly, looking at Yang Long with an indifferent face and several beautiful powerhouses with obedient faces in great surprise, and thousands of words finally turned into three words: "No problem!"
