Volume 2: Storm Falls 2 Ironstone
The fish-people outside the woods are like imps out of hell, they gather outside the woods, and their mouths are constantly whining and screaming. I don't know why they didn't dare to rush into the woods, so we confronted each other like this.
I don't know how long it took, but the group of fish people suddenly began to stir. They began to slowly retreat into the sea.
The surroundings are getting brighter and brighter, and it's the sun coming out. The sun is out, and the tide is about to start to recede.
Watching the fish people gradually retreat, everyone breathed a long sigh of relief.
It wasn't until the last fish-man disappeared into the beach with the rolling waves that we dared to emerge from the woods.
When the tide goes out, the fish-people will dive back to the sea! So why didn't these fish-people nest on the beach like the ones in Lordaeron?
Not a single fish-man corpse was left on the beach, not even the body of our dead brother. It is estimated that they were all dragged back to the sea by the fish-people. However, the Naga knife I lost in battle is still lying quietly on the beach.
"Let's count the numbers." I told Ralph.
The group of fish-people poured onto the beach, but they did little damage to our luggage and supplies. Green changed my dressing and rebandaged it. I had scratches and bites of varying severity on my arms, legs, face and body.
Some of the wounds left by the previous day's fighting have cracked open again.
"Your handsome face may not be saved." Green teased as he put a bandage on my face.
"If I looked like Lawrence, I think I'd die of sadness." As I spoke, I looked at Lawrence next to me.
"I've been to sea countless times, but I've never seen anything like this." Green told me.
"I used to deal with these monsters when I was in Lordaeron, and the fish-men there were much more ruthless, and of course there were more of them. At that time, many people died in order to get rid of them. "At this point, I suddenly remembered that at the time, it seemed that being scratched by them would cause a severe fever reaction, but now I don't seem to feel anything other than pain.
"Bill, we lost four people last night." Ralph came over to report.
"Is it one of us?" I asked.
"It's a Kurtilas." He said.
Before he could finish speaking, he heard Marin grinning loudly. I squinted at him. Although the guy didn't scold by name, his words were full of complaints about the unsmooth and dangerous nature of this trip.
I kept pretending I couldn't hear it, but Lawrence finally couldn't help it. "Can you the fuck shut up! You have so much strength here, why didn't you charge last night? ”
"You're old! Teach me a lesson! When Lao Tzu went to sea, you didn't come out of your father's egg! Marin shouted at the top of his voice.
"You brag about it again, you were a coward last night! You don't have the guts of your men! Some of your men are following us. Hmph, one soldier each. Lawrence scoffed.
"Are you saying that we can't fight well?" I turned my head to see Marlin drop what he was holding, looking like he wanted to take on Lawrence.
"I don't know if it's strong or not, but you were a soft egg last night." Lawrence grabbed at this point and continued to taunt.
"Shut up!" I shouted at Lawrence, "Lawrence, get out of the way, Ralph give him a bucket!" ”
Although I could watch them quarrel for a while, I still stepped forward to avoid the conflict from intensifying. "Captain Marin! It's a bit unworthwhile for you to quarrel with a hairy guy who doesn't hold back his mouth. We're here to make money, not to quarrel, are we? ”
"Did he talk like that?" Marin was angry and still scolded.
"Mr. Bill." Victor walked out, and the guy spoke. "We're here to make money, but the loss of this trip is a bit too great, and the little guarantee you agreed with Mr. Don Adams now seems to be a little less!"
"There's no mention in the agreement about what I need to protect against this kind of loss! Did you meet a monster in the agreement? I asked rhetorically. And this kind of battle is not expected, do you have to ask me for compensation if you fall into the toilet and drown? ”
"Moreover, I hired you to fight, not to vacation. I won't lose any of the money I should give, and if I'm in a good mood, I'll give you more, but you have to work, like last night, and not see how I was bitten by the fishmen, my esteemed Captain Victor. ”
"When you get to the Stormwind Kingdom, I'll pay you a salary and tell you to go chic. Until then, shut your mouth for me. I said in disgust.
Looking at the disgusting expressions on the faces and muttering mouths on the three of them, I had only one thought.
"The enemy is coming!" Suddenly, someone shouted and startled me. In the distance, a group of men dressed in armor and riding horses appeared in the woods. Their silver-and-blue armor was clad in a golden coat of arms.
"Ralph!" I shouted, "Not the enemy!" You go! ”
All the guards nervously raised their weapons. Ralph walked towards the woods.
"Put your weapons down!" I shouted as I threw my head up.
Ralph spoke with them for a moment, and the leader rode after him toward me.
Gage helped me up, straightened my back, and waved my hand to greet him. Immediately, the man's expression told me he was surprised.
"Your Excellency! Where are you from? The man did not dismount.
"Alterac Kingdom, this sir!" I looked up at him, "Where is this?" ”
"What are you doing here?" He continued.
"Your king has long asked the northern kingdoms for help, and we are here to help!" I said.
"Ahh He exclaimed, then took off his helmet. It was a middle-aged man with blonde hair. He rolled over and dismounted, and walked in front of me.
"You're reinforcements!" He excitedly said, "I'll report it right away!" Thank you for coming! ”
"You really need to report it, where is this?" I asked. "How far is this from Stormwind?"
"This is the West, Your Excellency!" He replied. "Your Excellency's name?"
"Bill, Bill Max." I said and extended a friendly hand to him.
"My name is Gibson, Lord Bill!" They said, "You are from...... Alterac is here? ”
"What's the problem?" I asked.
"No, I'm just not very familiar with the Northern Kingdom!" He said, "But thank you for coming!" ”
"Lord Gibson, you haven't answered my question yet, where is this? How far is it from Stormwind, and the orcs...... What's going on with them now? ”
"I'm sorry, sir! Come with me to town, and our commander will talk to you about it. He said.
"Where's your town?" I asked.
"It's not far from here, less than ten kilometers!"
"Then why is there no port here?" I asked.
"I think you should have known the answer last night!" He smiled apologetically. "Please come with me, my lord."
"Hey, you're hurt!" Ralph stopped.
"It's okay." I say. "Hey, Captain Gibson, our horses are still on board." I pointed to the back.
"We are reinforcements! They deserve to come and see us! Ralph was a little annoyed.
"Now they're silent, understandably." I looked up and said to him, "Do you still have horses?" ”
Gage and Lawrence followed me with them to their town.
Sure enough, after running for more than an hour, we came to a town. As we rode into the town, the people around us looked at us curiously.
"This group of people is very rude!" Lawrence looked around and muttered.
There are a lot of people here, but the streets are not very spacious. Captain Gibson yelled for them to get out of the way before we squeezed through the street.
There is a large square in the center of the town, and there is a large mansion on the side of the square. Captain Gibson took us to the flying horse and jumped off the horse, "Lord Bill! Please come with me! ”
Everyone around me was looking at me, and the bandages on my body were really eye-catching.
Entering the reception room of the mansion, within a minute, there was the sound of hurried footsteps outside. A tall, skinny guy walked in from the outside.
He was stunned for a moment when he saw the three of us, and then changed his expression very politely. "Dear Lord Bill! I'm Inman, the mayor of Ironstone, Inman Gustav. There is a long way to go! He said as he walked quickly up to me and held out his right hand to me.
"Hello! Lord Inman. I shook his hand, "Bill Max!" Lieutenant of the Royal Guard of the Kingdom of Alterac, commander of reinforcements. ”
"Thank you for coming!" His face looked happy. "Thank you for coming to our back!"
"How long has it been the invasion?" I don't want to be too polite with him, so I'm straight to the point.
"It's been months!" He said.
"Where is this?"
"Ironstone." He said.
"I know this is Ironstone, I said in what direction of the kingdom is this, how far is it from the royal city?"
"Lord Bill, this is the western part of the kingdom! It is still more than 400 kilometers away from the royal city. He said.
"So far!" I frowned.
"You are from the sea...... Didn't you pass through King's Harbour? He asked.
"We were on our way from Kurtilas to the Kingdom of Stormwind, but unfortunately we were caught in a storm and we lost our bearings. Got here after a few days of drifting and the results were ...... You know by looking at me like this that we were attacked, last night! How can there be such monsters on your beach at night! I said.
"I'm sorry for what happened to you! But please stay, and I will report your arrival to the King!" He said.
"Four hundred kilometers, back and forth for at least four or five days! We're going straight to King Lane, time waits for no one! I said.
"Yes...... However, don't be impatient. After all, you're injured too, my lord. He said.
"It's nothing." I say. "What's going on with your battle now?"
"It's a stalemate right now." He said.
"Have the orc forces reached the west?" I asked.
"Not yet, the orc forces haven't completely breached the South Elwyn Forest yet." He said.
"Any other news?"
"There's nothing else for now, that's all I can know, and now we're stepping up patrols and training. After all, I don't know if it will be like the Troll War decades ago. He looked me in the eye and said.
"It's going to be a long battle! Lord Inman! It's more ...... than it was a few decades ago Difficult to deal with! "I swallowed a couple of bad words back into my stomach.
