In the Flame Canyon, in the human refugee camp, many rows of neat log cabins have been built here. Many refugees have obtained their own houses according to families or groups.
They were all built from new wood that had just been felled from the nearby forest. The wood had not even had time to dry and slice. Some of them were not even peeled. They were simply cut in half from the middle, and then Put together, although it still exudes a strong woody smell, it can barely be used as a shelter for the refugees.
There is nothing we can do about such shoddy work. After all, there are thousands of human refugees here now, and the housing matter cannot be delayed at all. If those refugees are really allowed to sleep in the wild for a long time, it is very likely that they will dead person's!
Therefore, in order to avoid widespread epidemics and unnecessary attrition, Old John ordered the craftsmen and labor teams to build houses directly with new wood. Cut the round wood in half and use it, slice it into thin slices and dry it in the sun. Save as much as you can!
Therefore, after the wood was cut down, it was only segmented in the simplest way, and then built into small houses. Although it looked a bit crude and shabby, it was still better than having to live in the mud. Is it much better to pitch a tent inside?
Among the rows of simple wooden houses in front of us, in a very inconspicuous and ordinary new-built wooden house, if someone looks inside through the gap in the closed door, they can find that the person living here is... The aristocratic father and son were huddled together in the dark corner at the innermost corner, muttering something mysteriously.
"Diesel, now, tell me how things went?"
After seeing his nominal son come in and carefully close the door of the house, a kind-hearted old man who had been sitting in the house with his eyes closed suddenly opened his eyes. A hint of coldness and ferocity made Diesel shiver in fear when he accidentally looked at each other just now.
"Lord Balnazar, I just asked for news. Sophia has definitely passed the test. The leader of the fire demon, Shane Knox, has also agreed to pass the candidates on the list. Tomorrow at the latest, Sophia can officially go to the palace inside and become a maid. Sir, when do we start taking action? "
Diesel lowered his head, not daring to look into the eyes of the old man in front of him anymore. He knew very well that the person in front of him was not as harmless as he seemed. If he accidentally provoked him, he would be in trouble. Dead!
"Humph! No rush! Just wait a few more days. After Sophia and the queen have established basic trust, it's time for us to take action. Now, just wait for me and don't do anything. ."
After saying that, Balnazar didn't want to say anything more and began to close his eyes and rest.
Recently, he also learned a lot about the strength of the fire elements in the Flame Canyon through his own observations. The more he learned about it, the more frightened he became! Therefore, he is determined to win this action! There cannot be any room for failure and we must go all out.
"By the way, you should have seen their Flame Queen, right? How...is her strength like?"
Balnazar asked about the matter that concerned him the most. This was an element related to the success or failure of his plan, and he definitely needed to find out clearly.
"When they teleported their troops back yesterday, I just watched them from a distance. You must also know that those fire monsters don't allow us humans to get too close. Anyway, I watched them for a long time and didn't find anything special about them. She is just a normal little human girl! Judging from the way she can transmit spells, she should be about the level of a high-level mage, that’s about it at most.”
At that time, Diesel had been secretly observing from a distance for a long time, but he didn't see anything wrong with their fire demon queen.
That's obvious, he's just a little brat! I don’t know what kind of bad luck she had that allowed these powerful fire demons to serve her as their master.
Diesel estimated the opponent's strength as a high-level mage, which was already higher. He never believed that the other party could still reach the level of a hero! Even Miss Jaina, the genius mage known as Dalaran, was just a young apprentice at her age!
"That's good, you should pay attention and continue to observe! Also, remember to remind your fake sister to be honest when working, and not to do any unnecessary things. Now, as long as she does a good job as a maid Just do your duty. Do you understand?"
In this operation, Balnazar planned to outwit him, and he was not going to make too much noise, lest he get the attention of those fire monsters. He just needs that Sophia to gain the other party's trust and be able to get close to the other party at any time, and that's it. He believes that by the time Alsace completes his mission, he will be almost there. By then, he will definitely be able to receive a commendation from Lord Archimonde!
"Yes, I understand! I will tell her in a moment! Excuse me, sir, do you have anything else to give me?" After nodding, Diesel wiped the sweat from his head and asked cautiously.
"No, you can go out. Remember, the food must be delivered on time every day." Although Balnazar will not eat these inferior human foods, he still has to pretend. He doesn't want anyone to see him. There is a flaw.
"Yes, the little one resigned."
…
Outside the Flame Gorge, in a large farm a little further away, the refugees' garrison officer, Old John, was leading more than two hundred surviving soldiers from Lordaeron, nervously spreading out and guarding the surroundings.
In the two large warehouses on the farm, more strong refugees, carrying large and small bags of things, are loading the trucks. They need to pack the things in the warehouses into trucks and transport them in the shortest possible time. go back.
Now, for safety reasons, they have planned to settle in the Flame Canyon for a long time. But here comes the problem. The food in the human camp has begun to become more and more scarce, because so far, there are too many people in the camp! This is close to 8,000 people, almost reaching the size of a medium-sized town. What do these people eat?
Humans are not like fire elemental creatures. They can only drink some magma to replenish fluids in their bodies. Humans do not have any elemental core, and they cannot continuously absorb energy for themselves from nature!
Therefore, after learning from a refugee who had been a farm laborer that the warehouse on this large farm was filled with all kinds of grains and seeds that had just been harvested and had not had time to be shipped out, Old John began to plan for this operation. Finally, after waiting until now, he finally led the team in person and carried out the long-prepared plan!
They recruited all the cattle, horses and vehicles from the camp for transportation. In addition, in order to ensure the smooth operation, he also selected hundreds of strong men from the refugee camp who could carry and run. The two warehouses of that big farm were shipped out at once!
Old John is determined to win this action! Whether it was the grain or seeds in the two large warehouses, or other agricultural equipment, he had to get it!
Because the fire demon leader Shane Knox has agreed to set aside one-half of the area in the Flame Canyon for human refugees to live and farm. They must resume production as soon as possible, otherwise, they will not wait for the undead to kill them. After a while, they themselves will starve to death first!
"Hurry! Hurry up! Load all the things on the carriage, don't think about being lazy! If you finish it early, we can go back early!"
While Old John ordered the soldiers to guard the surroundings, he also urged and shouted, asking the strong refugees to quickly load the trucks. They must quickly transport these food and supplies, which were particularly important to them, before the undead discovered them. Farm equipment.
"Who is that! You bastard! Ignore what falls on the ground! Hurry up, put down what you are holding, go to the warehouse now, and finish transporting the contents first!"
After seeing a strong man accidentally spilling grains on the ground and trying to pick them up, Old John quickly shouted, "What time has it been?" How could there be time for him to slowly pick up the things on the ground? ? Besides, the ground here is not very clean. If the grain dropped on the ground is contaminated by the undead plague, it will be great fun! He still remembers Stratholme’s affairs very clearly!
"Head! There's a situation!"
When Old John was checking the loading of the strong men, one of his lightly-armed men ran back panting. He was a sentry responsible for detecting the situation to the west. In order to be able to run fast, the other man only carried a narrow sword. , and not wearing armor.
"A group of undead troops came in front. They came towards us. They may have smelled the breath of living people! As for the number, according to what I saw, there were about three or four hundred of them. Moreover, I also saw A small patchwork abomination and a few ghouls, but the rest are mostly zombies and skeletons."
"Asshole! They discovered it so quickly!"
Old John had been mentally prepared for a long time. He knew that things today would not go as smoothly as he thought.
Hundreds of people came here to smuggle food. The targets and movements were so big that it was difficult for the undead not to notice them! You know, they are quite sensitive to the breath of living people, especially when there is such a large group of living people gathered in front of them and they are sweating and working!
"Boss! What should we do now? Should we retreat?"
Hearing the undead approaching, Old John's subordinate, the one named Jude, also came over. Now Jude is responsible for leading a team of thirty soldiers, all of whom are mid-level or above, a little short of high-level elites. Elite warrior.
"Retreat! Aren't there just three or four hundred undead? Let's kill them!"
Old John took two final bites of a big radish in his hand, swallowed it, and then threw it far away. This time, he was ready to have a head-on positional battle with the undead! Hard talk! Don’t be a coward!
"Attention all soldiers! Listen to my order. Four square formations, four battle lines, heading due west, start forming! Hurry! Everyone, prepare to fight immediately!"
Old John began to give orders harshly. He shouted loudly and asked the two hundred Lordaeron shield infantry to quickly move in the dry field in front of the farm, facing the direction where the undead appeared in the distance. Speed completed the array.
This group of people are all regular soldiers of former Lordaeron. The one who can survive to this day has rich experience in fighting the undead? Therefore, under Old John's order, they quickly completed the array as required.
"What the hell are you looking at! They are raised by kobolds! All the soldiers like me are not dead yet! What are you panicking about? Stop looking at it and continue your work immediately. Pack up your things. What's going on here? There’s no need for you to worry about it!”
After turning around and seeing a group of panicked young men in the warehouse at the back actually stopping what they were doing and looking at this side at a loss, Old John suddenly became furious and cursed him! If you have time to watch a show over there, why not load things quickly? Maybe by the time they finish fighting the undead here, the warehouse will be almost finished moving.
What a bunch of idiots! Old John thought disdainfully, isn't it just three or four hundred undead? You are so scared! When I was twenty people, I had fought against thousands of undead, let alone two hundred people now!
