Annie's long sleep today was very comfortable, especially after two days of intense fighting. She was very tired from consuming too much magic power. After all, no matter how powerful she was, she could not change the fact that she was still just a little girl. .
Now, after a long sleep of deep sleep, little Annie's blue bar has recovered at least more than half, which is enough to enlarge the attack, if something without eyes comes to provoke her again.
Sure enough, after waking up, Annie felt that Tibbers the Bear's suggestion was completely correct. With Shane Knox and their group of fire demons guarding the outside, there would no longer be those undead without eyes. We dare to disturb her!
In this dangerous world, you still need a group of subordinates. Otherwise, if a cat or dog randomly runs out and you have to deal with it yourself, it will be annoying to death!
Thinking of the densely packed undead she encountered in the north yesterday and the day before yesterday, Annie became angry! Anyway, little Annie has already thought about it. When her flame army is slowly summoned, she must make them look good! Those skeletons must understand what will happen if they dare to provoke the Flame Queen! There are more cheaters than people, right? Hum! She also has a lot of flame armies, and she can scare them to death just by talking about them. Who is afraid of whom?
Because the bunk bed in this lumberjack's wooden house was really dirty, Annie asked Tibbs the bear to restrain the Shadow Flame yesterday and use it as a mattress, just lying on the bear's soft belly and breathing. Huda fell asleep.
Except for waking up in the middle of the night and eating some elf cake to satisfy her hunger, Annie slept until the morning of the second day before waking up. Originally she could stay in bed for a while longer, but after hearing what seemed like bursts of human noise outside, her eyes were half-opened with sleepy eyes, and she couldn't help but become a little curious. She decided to do it now. Go out and find out.
Because Annie remembered it very clearly. Yesterday, she just summoned five hundred fire elements to help her clean up the undead so that she could have a good sleep.
But now she found out why there was so much noise of human talking outside? But she still clearly heard the cries of some babies, and the laughter of some little kids playing and playing? This is a bit strange.
...
"Hey! Shane Knox! Over there, what's going on there? How come there are so many people suddenly there?"
Sitting on Tibbers's shoulders, too lazy to get off the ground, Annie rubbed her eyes and dozed off with one hand, and grabbed the little bear's head with the other. She walked out of the lumberjack's simple hut and looked at him in surprise. There is only a road across from my fire demon camp, which was originally another large logging site. But now, there are at least a thousand humans crowded inside? They were actually lighting a fire to make breakfast?
Annie remembered it very clearly. Yesterday, she and Tibbers the Bear wandered around here for a long time. Except for those undead that seemed to be endlessly killed, they couldn't even see half a living person!
Now, she just slept comfortably for one afternoon and one night. Why did she find so many living people suddenly appearing here when she woke up? Where did they come from?
"My Majesty the Queen, they escaped yesterday evening. Because of your order, after seeing that we did not take action to drive them away, they occupied the big logging camp over there. Do you want me to do that now? Just send some of your men to drive them away?"
Shane Knox, who was supervising the fire demon elders as they continued to build the Flame Gate, ran over quickly after hearing Annie's call.
Now the flame gate built by their fire demons has begun to take shape. It seems that the size should be able to accommodate a medium-sized lava stone giant to pass through, as well as smaller fire elements like Molten Dogs or Lava Runners. Biology, that's not even a problem.
"Forget it, let them continue to stay there, they look so pitiful."
Little Annie herself is a kind-hearted little girl. As soon as those people looked over, they knew they were refugees who had just escaped from the undead. They were all dirty! If they want to stay here, then so be it. She doesn't have to worry about taking care of their food anyway. They can stay as long as they like!
After figuring out the cause of the matter, little Annie didn't want to worry about it. She patted Tibbers' bear head, sat on the bear's shoulders and swayed her feet, letting it lead her to the room where she She walked behind the wooden house where she slept. She knew that there was a well there. She should be able to get some clean spring water for washing. Otherwise, she would have to use the water-making technique.
"That's right! Shane Knox, build that door of yours quickly and more. It's best to get an army of tens of thousands of flames out for me. I'm going to settle accounts with those undead in a few days!"
Little Annie is not someone who doesn't fight back when being bullied. In her opinion, the death knight who stabbed Tibbers and tried to chop himself must be in the same group as the undead in this area! So, no matter whether he was killed by herself or not, she would come back with revenge. If she couldn't find the rightful owner, she would take revenge on these undead souls to vent her anger! Lead her army of flames and wipe out the undead from this land! Hum!
"Follow your orders, my Majesty! It's just..., the portal we are building now, due to size and energy limitations, can only pass through hundreds of fire elements every day. If we want an army of tens of thousands, I'm afraid it will take More time and more flame gates..." Shane Knox's eyes lit up as soon as he heard that Queen Anne needed tens of thousands of troops.
In fact, Shannox is not afraid of how many troops Queen Anne wants, it is only afraid that their queen will not let it continue to summon!
Anyway, there are too many fire elemental beings in the Land of Fire. After tens of thousands of years of reproduction, there are so many that they can't make detailed statistics! There are at least millions of fire elements created by Lord Leolis alone, and they are about to become a flood! What are the tens of thousands of flame armies? As long as there is enough time and there are no blind things to cause trouble, Shane Knox dares to pat his chest and guarantee that in ten or eight years, theoretically, he can produce an army of millions of flames for you to see!
"Okay, you can take care of this little thing yourself! I'm going to freshen up now." Little Annie doesn't want to care about these nonsense, so just let them do whatever they want, as long as they are obedient.
Shane Knox nodded and bent down in response. After watching their queen leave and walk to the back of the hut, he turned around. He planned to find his cousin, the new chief hunter in charge of the dog. I plan to ask about these human beings. Although Her Majesty the Flame Queen does not intend to pursue the matter of humans, as the queen's steward, he should always ask about it.
"Shaturu, do you know what's going on with the humans over there? I just took a quick look. If I counted correctly, their number... seems to be getting more and more? "
Shane Knox was also a little puzzled, but he remembered clearly that at the evening of yesterday, those humans had only a group of several hundred refugees and twenty-one ordinary soldiers wearing armor and holding shields.
And now? Look over there, there are at least a thousand living people, and there are dozens more of the same soldiers! If it weren't for the fact that their strength did not pose a big threat, Shannox would have sent lava dogs to drive them away. How could he tolerate them staying next to his camp like this?
"Ah, this..., it is said that Otuk ran out of the canyon to kill the undead, and then all the living people saved by it came here to take refuge..."
Regarding this news, Shaturu heard it from a human. It, Shatulu, is one of the few fire monsters that understands the common language of Azeroth, so it is not too difficult for it to communicate normally with those humans.
"Fighting the undead? And they ran out? It's really unreasonable! Is there any discipline anymore? Do you really think this is still a land of fire? If you provoke a powerful one, it will cry! Hurry, send someone immediately, go Get it back! Then you send your men to set up checkpoints at the mountain pass. Without my consent, no fire demons or fire dogs are allowed to run outside and mess around!" After finally knowing where these humans came from, ,Shane Knox is a little angry!
Do these bastards really think that the world of Azeroth is a place where they can run wild? How dare a fire demon go out and fight the undead? If it meets a strong person, it will cry sometimes! This is the testing ground for the Titans. Who knows what backend those madmen left here? Just throwing out a few random guardians would be enough for the fire demons!
"Yes! I will send someone to get it back right away!" Shaturu nodded and was about to turn around and leave, but unexpectedly their boss stopped him again.
"Wait a minute, that...who is that guy called Otuk? When did our fire demon clan have such a brave warrior?"
Shane Knox frowned and thought for a long time, but he couldn't remember who this fire demon named Otuk was! In its mind, someone who can run wild alone must be relatively strong, so it should be somewhat impressed. Why does it seem that it has never heard of a fire demon like Otuk? This is really strange!
"Uh... Sir, because Otuk is not from our fire demon clan at all, it is actually the lava giant..."
"So it's it...Okay, it's the same. Send someone to find it quickly." Shane Knox nodded. If it was the big guy, it wouldn't be surprising.
Thinking about it carefully, it is indeed the case. The ordinary undead really can't do anything to it, not to mention that it is at the level of a lava lord and is extremely large. It has both size and strength. The claws or weapons of the undead are probably You can't even chop it, right?
…
After Shatulu, the current hunter chief, ordered his men to take several lava dogs with them and make arrangements to find the lava giant who ran outside and went crazy. Before it could even enter the camp, it was killed by a human soldier. Stopped.
"Yo? I remember you, your name is... John! Right? What's the matter?" After seeing that the human who stopped him was an acquaintance, Shatulu began to look kind and cheerful.
This is all due to the fact that this human contributed a roasted pig to it last night. At that time, he gave half of the roast pig to his cousin Shane Knox. For this, he received a big praise and reward, so he was quite interested in this human being.
"Your Excellency, the powerful Chief Hunter of Shaturu, this is it. I want to ask you a little thing. I wonder if you have time now?"
Old John, who had already taken off his helmet and thrown away his weapon and shield, approached the fire demon with his bare hands and handed over a roast rabbit while speaking. He knew that these strange fire creatures especially liked meat cooked by humans!
"Ha, that's it! You naughty human being, if you have anything to do, please tell me quickly. I'll have to send people to the mountain pass to set up sentries later! We can't delay for too long." After swallowing his saliva, Shaturu refused. He quickly stuffed the roasted rabbit into his weapon pocket.
After accepting the gift from the other party, Shatulu finally nodded with satisfaction. This human being is very good and the food he makes is delicious. For this, he is very satisfied!
"That's it, sir. I just saw a human little girl in your camp? It's the one sitting on the shoulders of a huge bear just now. That one...should be a human, right?"
Old John, the second lieutenant and duty officer of Lordaeron who has been secretly vigilant and observing the fire demon camp since yesterday, unexpectedly discovered something incredible this morning! There is a little human girl in the other party's camp?
And, more importantly, the little girl was bossing around the leader of the fire demons, which shocked Old John! If he saw it right just now, that little girl is definitely a living human being! So, why can she, a little human girl, command this group of powerful flame creatures? Old John is very puzzled about this and must figure it out as soon as possible!
So when he saw that old acquaintance, oh no! It was the familiar demon Shaturu. After it walked out of their camp, Lieutenant John quickly grabbed a rabbit from the grill and came forward to inquire about the information.
"Oh, you read that right, that big shot is indeed a human, but! She is also the greatest queen of our Fire Kingdom—Her Majesty Anne!"
Shatulu frowned and stared at the human in front of him with a serious expression. It wanted to see what the other person's intentions were from his eyes! After a while, after seeing that this human being was indeed just curious and had no other malicious intentions, it continued:
"John, for the sake of being more pleasing to your eyes, I would like to advise you: Stop asking about the Queen! And don't try to get close to her casually. Those royal guards will not be as easy to talk to as me. Any If there are armed and threatening creatures that approach without warning, they will definitely chop you to death! Especially armed human soldiers like you!"
As he finished speaking, he tapped the armor on the opponent's chest with his fingers. Without waiting for any reaction from the human in front of him, Shatulu turned around and walked into the camp. It was very busy. After a while, some people will be sent to establish a checkpoint at the mountain pass, and then people will be sent to continue to guard there. Bastards like Otuk must not be allowed to run out and cause trouble casually. !
...
Really human? Although he didn't know what kind of country the Fire Kingdom was, Old John finally felt a little relieved after hearing that the largest leader of the other party was indeed a human. Now he finally understood why these fire monsters refused to kill them. A living person.
When a group of them just arrived here yesterday, he saw at a glance that the fire demons were building a strange arched building from a distance. Old John is very sensitive to things like that! That thing was too similar to the Dark Portal he had seen. It was like...a small arched Dark Portal?
Originally, Old John had been worried, fearing that these fire monsters were preparing to summon more fire monsters! He is afraid that before the undead natural disaster is over, Lordaeron will face another catastrophe similar to the orc war. That would be terrible! The damage done to the Human Alliance by the two Orc Wars is still vivid. Look at his original comrades and relatives, how many are left now?
But now, after hearing that the leader of the other party was a human and a human queen, Old John felt a little more at ease. After all, if the other party was a human, he wouldn't treat his own kind like orcs or undead, right? From the fact that the current fire demons do not take action against living humans, he can probably tell the other party's attitude.
In this way, Old John was finally relieved. He was going to go back and restrain the new subordinates and refugees. It was really troublesome to manage such a large group of people. He had to worry about food and housing! Anyway, in the near future, he has no plans to leave this temporarily safe place. He will wait until the situation outside becomes clearer.
As for whether these fire demons will occupy the land of the Kingdom of Lordaeron after they grow stronger, Old John doesn't bother to care! What the hell does this have to do with him? Anyway, old John is just a little second lieutenant on duty who is guarding the sentry tower and waiting to die. He is like an ant! These major matters related to the territory of the Kingdom of Lordaeron should be something that only the respectable nobles need to worry about!
In the distant jungle, when old John and the fire demon Shatulu had just finished talking, the young man Pete was carefully supporting his sister Lana, and the two finally staggered out from the path in the dense forest.
"Sister, look! Am I right? Those are the big monsters I encountered. Look, they really don't kill people! Moreover, there seem to be more living people over there, wow! Look! ! There are even troops from our Kingdom of Lordaeron!"
Peter saw two camps in the distance at a glance, one of which was for human refugees. Not only did he see the two sides living in harmony, he also saw a Lordaeron officer who seemed to be fighting a snake-like monster. They had a friendly conversation, so he and her sister were finally safe. From now on, the two siblings no longer had to worry about living in that damp little cave!
