The second volume of the storm fell 180 and the East Valley was lost
More and more troops have gathered in the town of Shining Gold, and all the surrounding armies have been mobilized. The first thing Lothar did was to rush to Stormwind to meet the king.
On the day Lothar entered the city, I followed him far behind him and entered the city, and the people welcomed the lion back. And the hero Reginald was also treated quite highly. With this matter, Reggie probably won't have a problem winning the heart of a certain lady.
After sneaking into the city, I found a small hotel near the west gate, not very far from Lothar's mansion.
I thought there would be a big welcome dinner in the evening, but when I sneaked into Lothar's house in the middle of the night, I found that he was already asleep.
I didn't bother him when I saw that he was already asleep, but when I was about to climb down from the windowsill, his voice came from the house, "Is it the same way you go to other people's houses and enter the door?" With that, he sat up from his bed.
I leaned out the window and watched him come over and open the window to look at me.
It's embarrassing.
"I'm afraid of getting you in trouble." I said and rummed into his room, it was my first time here. He didn't light the lamp, but went straight back to bed. "There's a drink on the table, come by yourself." He said, "You're welcome. ”
"Well, your wine should be good." With that, I went and poured a glass. "What will happen to your welcome?"
"Not good." He said.
"What about the book?" I asked.
"Give...... The king is up. He said.
"You gave it to the king?" I'm a little incredulous. "That's ......"
"He knew it when I went out to look for it, and he intended for me to look for it, and now that I have found it, even if I don't say it now, the king will eventually know about it." He looked at me and said.
I snorted.
"When Talia asked me to meet you, let me take her and thank you." Lothar said.
"It's nothing." I say. "What's the king's plan for next?"
He breathed a long sigh of relief, "What else can I do, the war has burned to the door, half of the kingdom is about to fall, since I am still alive...... I'm going to go to the front tomorrow. ”
"Frontline...... Hmph, can you ride a horse? ”
"As long as I'm here, they'll feel more at ease."
I don't know who spread it, but the news that Lothar had brought back a treasure spread throughout the city the next day, and everyone knew the name of the treasure...... The sacred book, but in the mouths of the common people, this treasure is more and more evil.
In short, people thought that since this thing could be found by Lothar, it must be a good thing with such a good name, and soon news spread that the people of the church attached great importance to this book, and the archbishop and others observed the contents of the book overnight, saying that it was the way of salvation and would bring healing and hope to the kingdom of Stormwind.
At noon the next day, the Iron Horse Knights in Stormwind reassembled, but the commander Leorik was besieged in the eastern fortress and could not be withdrawn.
Although there was no regimental commander present, the knights still showed the greatest respect for the returning Lothar. Of course I didn't see it, that's what Reggie told me later. The king and nobles were also present and sent their blessings.
Reggie said that at that time, there were several people whose faces were not good-looking, or disdainful, and even some people did not look like they wanted Lothar to win, of course, those nobles with bad faces, Reggie did not know all of them. He also sent his sincere blessings to this group of villains and their families who can only scold their faces and scold the streets.
I left the city early, on the one hand I hated the eyeliner in the city, and on the other hand I wanted to go to the front to find out what was going on.
The speed of construction of the fortifications on the outskirts of Shining Gold Town is staggering, and it is indeed man-made. I didn't say hello to Reggie or Lothar, and it's more convenient and safer for me to be in this situation. The forests east of Shining Gold are not very dense, but the terrain is relatively flat, and it is not difficult for the orcs to transport siege equipment if they march.
I looked around at the trees and set them on fire...... It doesn't seem to work very well.
When I arrived near the town of Higashiya, I found that the destructive power of the orcs was simply beyond my expectations, greatly exceeding. It turned out that there were still large areas of forest around the town, and only in the north did there be a logging field, and the result was ...... OMG!
The town is indeed not much destroyed, but the surrounding woods are ...... I'm a little puzzled, what are these guys cutting down so many tree trunks! I didn't see anything they did on the spot, and the felled wood was just thrown in place.
The only thing I can think of is that I can't sneak up on the ground now. In particular, it was too difficult to break into the town with cavalry. But if it's a wolf cavalry, I think jumping between the woods should be much more agile than horses.
I climbed into town at night. That's right, I crawled in on my stomach. There are not only patrols around the village and town, but also a lot of bonfires, which you want to run in while standing unless you don't want to live.
It took me a long time, it was too difficult, the patrols and the countless fires made it very difficult for me to move forward, and the closer I got to find the more sentry lurking outside the town.
With the size of the patrol I guess there is some kind of road in the town, and I'm going to be here for a day or two as I crawl.
I started to touch the town when it was dark, and when I was sure that the bushes in front of me were not in ambush, I estimated that it was already the middle of the night.
The town was not very familiar, the orcs did not build fortifications outside the town, not even walls, but the lighting in the town was no worse than outside. Which one is this? I remember that orcs had never burned wood like this before, did they need to be so bright?
Torches were planted in the streets and alleys in front of and behind the house, and these guys were not afraid of fires...... This thought came to me and gave me a good idea.
Although the town was brightly lit, there were noticeably fewer patrols, and as I passed through houses, I found that many of them were unoccupied. When I walked around the town, I found that there were no more than 400 orcs in the town.
400 people...... Only 400 people captured this place? The defenders of the Eastern Fortress...... What is their situation? Where are the orc forces that stormed the Elwyn Forest?
I think there's something wrong with this information, it's so unreliable. It is said that the defenders of the eastern fortress were blocked by the orcs and could not get out, could it be that the orcs disguised themselves here and then sent troops to attack the fortress?
I believed my guess, so it took almost the same amount of time to climb out, this behavior made me extremely irritable, I really wanted to jump up and run, how could I not get that kind of immortal body, dead can be resurrected, King Kong is not bad, the ability to kill hundreds of people with one big move! I can shoot through two orcs with one arrow now, and I guess I can be excited to think that I am really powerful, but this is simply impossible.
When I finally crawled out of the orc's field of vision, I got up and ran, mounted my horse, and galloped south. But I didn't run far away, I grabbed the reins, now is not the time to go to the Eastern Fortress, I think at this time if I take back the East Valley Town, even if the orcs are attacking the Eastern Fortress, there will be a chance.
If I hadn't met a scout running out of Shining Gold Town on the way, I guess I would have died of exhaustion. And the patrol told me that Lothar had set out with an army of seven thousand.
Seven thousand...... I pouted. Alas......
I slept on the side of the road for a while, got up and headed back east, this time to the eastern fortress.
After running forward for a while, a human corpse lay on the road near the town of Donggu.
Quickly looked around, the man's horse was gone, and only a corpse remained. I observed the movement around me, and I felt that my eyes didn't seem to be enough.
Shoot a man to death in broad daylight, and there are scouts in the woods. Instead of approaching slowly, I rushed straight to the corpse, rolled over and dismounted.
I turned the man over, and I cursed, and there was an arrow under the man's chest and left side of the rib, and I recognized the thick arrow. When I touched my neck, I found that I was already dead. Just as I was getting up to leave, I felt two figures flash in front of me on the left, and I felt that at least two arrows must be flying towards me.
As soon as I leaned over, swish! One arrow flew over my head, and after the other it flew my horse staggered and ran......
Just left me where I was!
In an instant I lost all cover! Completely subconsciously, completely instinctively, I swooped out in front of the right, fell to the ground, rolled forward, and rushed towards a big tree. I'm not afraid to fight them, just two!
I ducked sideways behind a tree, not enough to protect me, especially if the two orcs were holding me, but I was sure it would buy me two or three seconds.
At this moment, I heard an orc rushing towards me, its feet on the ground and making heavy footsteps, only one footstep.
When did this group of guys grow so much intellectually!
I gritted my teeth and pulled out two muskets.
The muzzle of my right hand cocked when the first orc flashed out from behind the tree with a loud cry and raised his axe to slash at me.
The range of movement is very small, I don't want my body to be exposed more, this movement is enough! The barrel is pointed at its face or chest or something, whatever!
It lived up to expectations. The thud, accompanied by the flames and smoke that spewed out, caused the orc to fall straight down with his head raised. I looked down, and the bullet went through its throat.
Yes...... Flesh and blood in front of gunpowder magic...... Not really.
Lisuo put away the gun, handed the gun in his left hand to his right hand, and when I tilted my head behind a tree, I saw an arrow flying towards my face. This orc is really not slow to react! But it didn't stand a chance, and before it could pull the bowstring again, I dodged out and pulled the trigger.
It's only a dozen meters, which is not a long distance for me.
The orc must have felt something in its hands over its chest, it looked down at the palm that covered its chest, and when it looked up at me again, I saw the despair in its eyes.
I didn't care about it, but pulled out the gunpowder package and filled it with ammunition. It turned around and ran a few steps before falling. Orcs aren't good at faking death, and the chances of surviving this shot aren't great, but I'm not the careless kind of person. Drawing the knife, it still stabbed it in the neck.
There was no blood splatter, it was dead.
Retrieving my frightened horse, I hurried back on the road, and now that there were scouts, the road ahead was really not easy. I sincerely hope that the army of Lothar will arrive soon!
