"..."
Vanessa, the newly promoted Queen of the Defias Republic, was frowning dissatisfied and looking in the direction of the city gate.
Because, when she led the most elite soldiers, powerful mages and orc shamans towards the east gate for support, she discovered that they seemed to be a little late?
Because she saw that the light armored troops of the Western Wilderness People's Army, numbering about a thousand people, had broken through the defense line of the goblin mercenaries and were running out the door!
And those stupid guys were actually entangled with that old paladin and a large group of less than two hundred elite plate armor troops led by the other party at the entrance to the city gate?
It wasn't until her troops arrived that those useless goblin mercenaries gave way to the city gate, and now, her men were forming formations and rushing towards the gate!
However... surrounded by the old paladin and the opponent's elite troops, they were beaten back aggrievedly... and when her musketeers were about to shoot, the opponent quickly formed a shield formation, and they were dead. Blocking the narrow area of the city gate, the projectiles could only hit the opponent's iron shield in vain.
"What a bunch of useless things!"
Vanessa doesn't understand. Wouldn't those idiots run to the city wall and attack the enemies blocking the city gate outside? After wasting so much time, the opponent's main force has already run away!
However, this shouldn't be too bad, at least the old paladin she fears the most has not left yet! He just stayed there, blocking the city gate with the two hundred people, as if he was determined to give the large army of more than a thousand people a chance to escape?
"Huh? What's going on!"
Just as Vanessa was leading her team and preparing to cross the street and rush to the city gate to deal with the old paladin, she suddenly saw a man waving a mace on the street and excitedly smashing houses. door, an ogre trying to break in?
Moreover, she also heard the frightened screams and cries of women and children that seemed to be faintly coming from the house behind the door? !
"Hmph! Looking for death!"
Seeing that the ogre dared to do something she explicitly prohibited in the Moon Creek town she was about to occupy, Vanessa waved her hand, causing a black dagger to fly out of her hand instantly, and The head of the medium-sized ogre, which was breaking down the door on the street and seemed to be planning to go in, burn, kill and plunder, was fiercely driven into the head. After its huge body shook twice, it fell heavily on its back. On the steps by the door of that house.
The thick mace also rolled down to the feet of the trolls and goblins who were shouting and cheering around, startling them greatly.
"..."
This sudden change frightened the trolls or other goblins who were waiting around. They quickly picked up their respective weapons and looked at the new batch of unruly people who came here with ferocious expressions. The Defias Brotherhood soldiers and the evil woman who just made a ruthless attack.
That's right, this big, luxurious-looking house is right next to the east gate, and it happens to be in the middle of a battlefield! Based on the principle of proximity, these goblins or trolls originally planned to wait for the big ogre to smash down the door, so that they could go in, burn, kill and loot!
After all, they had suffered a lot of casualties in order to break into Yuexi Town, and now, it was finally time for them to reap the fruits of victory.
Although I mentioned above that there is still a generous bounty, but, if you can grab a little more now, it counts! For desperadoes like them who dare to be mercenaries, no matter how much they say, nothing will make them feel more at ease than getting it directly into their own hands.
"Stop it!!"
"Hey! What do you want to do, woman? Let me tell you, we were hired by the noble Queen Anne with money, and we are our own people! But why did you, the Defias Brotherhood, suddenly attack my men? Already?!"
Seeing that the two sides were about to start a bloody fight, the goblin manager of the venture capital company hurriedly rushed over with his jumping men, stopped in the middle of the two teams, and looked at the mortal angrily. Nissa protested loudly.
"Hmph! Who is the same as you guys?"
"Goblins, listen to me: I am Vanessa VanCleef, the queen of the Defias Republic!"
"From today onwards, Moon Creek Town will be the capital of our Defias Republic! Your mission has been completed, just stay here! We will make the most of the commission that Your Majesty Anne promised you. The land is in your hands! However, I warn you, if any of you or monsters dare to plunder and cause trouble in my territory, then it will be your example!"
Pointing to the corpse of the ogre that fell on the steps of the house with a black dagger stuck in its head, Vanessa looked around haughtily at the trolls and goblins around her, her cold and dark eyes After scaring them so much that they unconsciously took several steps back, she snorted coldly and continued to rush towards the city gate with her guards.
Now, she is not in the mood to waste time with these guys here. She wants to find trouble with the old paladin first!
"But……"
Looking at the ogre that died innocently, Goblin Brak originally wanted to ask the other party to pay a small amount of money... But after thinking about it carefully, he felt that he had made a lot today, not only was he black With the payment from Stranglethorn Valley Venture Capital Company, he was about to get a large commission, and he might need to hang out here in the Western Wilderness in the future. Therefore, he could only mutter a few words angrily, not daring to worry about that and An ogre he didn't know well came forward.
But actually, he also felt that it would be good for those ogres and trolls to die more? Anyway, in addition to his goblin subordinates and confidants, the ogres and trolls are also temporarily hired by him. If one more person dies, then he can get one less salary? !
"Okay, Your Majesty Queen Vanessa, you have the final say on this matter!"
Brak shrugged indifferently at the dark-haired woman who was walking away, and Brak's mind began to expand.
You know, that's a full two pounds of gold. If you're dead, you don't need to pay... Then, should we find an opportunity to send those trolls to participate in dangerous places where there is still fighting?
"..."
"The elites of the Defias Brotherhood have finally come, Lieutenant Fabron, do you regret it now?"
From the city gate, after hitting an ogre directly to the ground with a hammer, Grian looked up and saw a commotion in the distance of the street. Then, he discovered: the Defias brother The leader of the meeting, the woman dressed in an exquisite black tight-fitting leather jacket - Vanessa Van Cleef. When he saw the other party walking towards them with a cold expression, he sighed helplessly and shook his head. After shaking off the blood on the war hammer, he asked the adjutant next to him, Lieutenant Fabron, as if he was mocking himself.
This Fabron comes from a wealthy family of large farmers.
It is said that he also has a lot of connections and origins in Stormwind City, and is also connected to a certain big noble? In short, as far as Gerian knows, the other party has a large pumpkin farm in the north of the Western Wilderness, and he also has a young and beautiful wife. It would be a pity if he died here in Yuexi Town now. …
"I have no regrets! Your Excellency Grian, my subordinates have sworn to follow you to the death!"
Seeing the unkind enemies coming to the city, Fabron gritted his teeth and answered loudly.
Originally, he was just a very ordinary mid-level warrior, at most one of those with a little money, who could equip himself with good weapons, armor and expensive war horses, that's all! However, with the attention of Lord Grian, he was not only taught the power of the Holy Light and successfully became a trainee Paladin, he was also entrusted with the important task of serving as the deputy commander of the entire Western Wilderness. This was very important to him. Said, that is the supreme glory!
Therefore, in the spirit of a knight, although he himself was very hesitant and had great fear of the coming death... However, in the end, he did not reveal his humble cowardice, but directly He put his helmet on tightly, covering up all inappropriate expressions.
Some roads, once you have chosen them, you must keep going! He believed that even if he died here today, his wife Verna would be proud of him!
"Really? Sure enough, you don't disappoint me! It's just..."
"Lieutenant Fabron listened to the order: I now appoint you as the commander-in-chief of the People's Army in the Western Wilderness, with full authority to handle all affairs of the People's Army! So now, you lead the remaining people and immediately withdraw to Sentinel Ridge without any mistakes. !”
Now the fate of failure is inevitable, and if you count the more than a thousand people who fled far away, the less than two thousand people left now may be the last of their newly established Western Wilderness People's Army. He had strength... He Gerian didn't want everyone to be buried with him here because of his own mistakes.
Now, here has the advantage of a city gate, and he alone is enough to intercept the enemy's pursuers and buy enough time for those good guys to escape!
"Sir Kelian! What about you?!"
Hearing this strange order, Fabron was stunned for a moment, and then, with some disbelief, he looked at the commander Grian who was holding the warhammer tightly and looking firmly at the city gate.
"Go, Fabron!"
"Your family is still waiting for you to go back, and your wife is still waiting for you on the farm! And I, I am very old now, I have nothing to regret! Moreover, my family is now in Stormwind City, But there’s nothing to worry about!”
"You have to remember, if... Sentinel Ridge cannot be defended, you will immediately retreat to Elwynn Forest and Stormwind City!"
Holding tightly the war hammer that began to emit golden holy light energy, Grian Stroman finally explained some things, then waved his hand towards the back, and then, alone, he walked straight to the In the city gate cave.
He stubbornly believes that everything is caused by his own mistakes, and he will have to bear it all alone...
Gerrian feels that he is an incompetent commander. Not only did he lose the town of Moon Creek, he also caused countless warriors to die here. It is also very likely that the entire Western Wilderness will not be saved... So, now he is going to meet him. It was his destiny to use his last strength to give those young men a chance to live.
"Your Excellency Grian..."
Fabron only saw that the golden light of the setting sun began to shine diagonally from the western sky into the east gate of Yuexi Town, stretching the shadow of the stubborn and lonely old paladin far away. Very long...
————
When the battle at the east gate of Moon Creek Town in the distance was about to come to an end, little Annie, who seemed to be feeling a little bored, took her maid Lana to wander around the slightly chaotic streets of Moon Creek Town. , they just wandered aimlessly towards a place with few people, and soon, they reached the northwest area that was not affected by the battle.
In these places, except for the soldiers of the Kingdom of Defias in red shirts who patrolled and maintained order in twos and threes, there were no traces of battles or bloodstains or corpses at all.
The skirmishers of the People's Army of the Western Wilderness and the security militiamen of Yuexi Town who were originally deployed here, found out that something was wrong, and they ran away to nowhere!
"My Majesty, when do you plan to return?"
As they walked, Lana, as the queen's maid, asked the question that concerned her most.
In the Fire City of the Fire Kingdom, not only are the fire elements scarce, but the Queen's Palace is also empty. Except for some cleaning maids, she is the only one left! Therefore, she really hopes that their queen can go back soon and stop wandering around the world.
"Go back?"
"Forget it, let's wait for two days! After little Vanessa's game of building a country is over, we will go back and rest for a few days! You may not know that these days in the world of Azeroth , I’ve been busy fighting all day, but I’m really exhausted!”
For example, Stranglethorn Vale, Land of Fire, Karazhan, Tarren Mill Front and Moonbrook Town, etc. No matter where she goes, she has to fight, or watch others fight, which is not fun at all!
Therefore, little Annie now really wants to have a good rest and sleep for a few days without having to do anything!
(…)
"..."
A game of house? Lana's cheeks twitched a few times. She felt that if Vanessa heard this statement, she would be very sad, right? You know, this is something Vanessa is determined to fight for her whole life. How come it turns into a child's game when it comes to their queen?
"By the way, Her Majesty the Queen, I have always been curious, how on earth do you have so much gold?"
Of course Lana has also seen the countless amounts of gold that her Majesty, Queen Anne, conjured up for sister Vanessa! She simply couldn't imagine that their little queen really produced a large pile of neatly arranged large gold ingots with just a wave of her hand... Lana would never forget what it was like at that time. shocking scene!
Each piece of gold is at least a large gold ingot weighing more than 2,000 pounds. Even five people may not be able to lift it! They actually filled up the entire huge secret warehouse in the Death Mine. How much money is there...
To be honest, those golds made Lana, who had lived in the Queen's Palace for several years and lived a carefree life and never regarded money as money, want to steal a piece or two. .
It's a pity that she can't move it...
"Haha! Sister Lana, let me tell you quietly: those golds are actually worthless at all!"
"You may not know that I have been to a world where technology is very advanced and advanced, and they can freely navigate the universe!"
"In my Koprulu sector, those golds are really just ordinary minerals. You can have as much as you want! At that time, I just mentioned it casually and asked them to give it to me. I’ll get some gold, the more the better!”
"Then... those officials, they brought me a whole spaceship's worth of industrial gold ingots the next day! They added up to millions of tons of them! I couldn't even fit a lot of them back then. over……"
Annie wasn't lying, because gold ingots and the like were really just ordinary minerals in the interstellar world.
After all, the entire universe is so big. It would not be easy to find a few metal planets or rich ore planets in the Keprulu Star District that are all composed of a single gold element!
In the human kingdom in the Federation of Heroes, things like gold are generally used as conductive materials! For example: those wireless transmission terminal lines, suspended cars, large and small battleships, power armor, and even residential buildings, etc., all have a wide range of applications!
Because gold has good antioxidant capabilities without treatment, and its ductility and flexibility are very good, so it is the same as other metals in the periodic table of elements, whether it is in military or civilian applications. Very common! In addition, most of what they dig out is simple substance, and the processing requires simple purification and briquetting. It does not need to be refined as deeply as other oxidized metals, so the cost is lower and cheaper, about one star. The kind that can buy one or two tons of coins?
So, in the Federation of Heroes, whether it is a spaceship of any size, or a house where citizens of the Federation live, you can get dozens of kilograms out by just digging around. In fact, they are just like scrap metal, just thrown on the roadside. No one picked it up at all.
"How is it possible that gold is worthless? What kind of place is that?"
If there really is such a place, Lana really wants to visit it, and then... if possible, she can bring several big space pockets with her. When she comes back, maybe she will become a rich woman? Being able to buy countless pieces of land and mines, you can live a very comfortable life without having to work hard!
"Oh, it's very troublesome to explain this matter. Let's talk about it later when we have time!"
Regarding the matters in the Koprulu sector, Annie really didn't want to talk too much to Sister Lana, a native of Azeroth. She believed that this stupid guy who had never even been to the outer world, whose concept of alien planets was very vague, and the spells he learned were all quick spells, would definitely not be able to understand him!
"Anyway, you just need to know that I still have a lot of gold and stuff! If you want it, I will throw them all out when you get back. You can take as much as you like!"
Anne had long disliked the space they took up, but she had never had a chance to use them, so it was a pity to lose them.
"Take whatever you want? This, this...is this really okay?!"
Lana was a little shocked. This was happiness. Didn't it come too suddenly? She would definitely not miss out on any gold she could get! If they were all such big gold ingots, then she only needed ten yuan... No! At least fifty yuan!
And then... you can also give your brother Peter fifty yuan?
"Of course you can, it's whatever you want!"
"Okay, now it's time to fight! I said...you bad guys have been following us secretly for so long. There are very few people here now. Are you ready to come out and do bad things?"
Annie suddenly stood in an open space, and then shouted into the surrounding air with a smile. She had noticed those guys who were following her secretly for a long time, and she walked this way on purpose.
"!!"
Lana was stunned for a moment, and then, after understanding something, she instantly took out the short 12-inch staff from her cuff, and swung it in all directions! Having been assassinated several times, she certainly knew that the bad guys Her Majesty the Queen was talking about must be those sneaking killers!
"..."
"Shattered to pieces!" "Fire is blazing!"
Holding the wand, Lana looked around. This was a remote open space with a very flat surrounding. Except for a row of tall trees next to it, she did not see any enemies in this open space!
So, she didn't stop doing anything, and directly blasted a circle under the big trees that she thought were most likely to hide people. After finding that no one was blown out, she simply set a fire again, letting those The rolling flames sprayed out from the tip of the wand, and the row of big trees over there were engulfed in the flames!
The huge flame that instantly ignited soared into the sky and burned all the way to the branches, adding a less conspicuous fire scene to Yuexi Town, which was originally filled with shouts of killing and gunpowder smoke. .
"Sister Lana, what are you doing?"
Annie was a little puzzled. She didn't understand what the other party wanted to do. Why was he burning trees and exploding the land?
"Of course we need to find those killers! You may not know that in the past few years, there have been many guys who like to hide in the shadows who have come to trouble me!"
With half-squinted eyes, Lana answered Her Majesty the Queen's question while continuing to scan the surrounding environment vigilantly. Once she discovered an enemy, all kinds of terrifying spells would be instantly activated from the head of her wand. Destroy the opponent mercilessly!
This is her effective method to deal with the killer!
It’s just that today’s enemy may be a little stronger? Because, the silent appearance spell she just issued failed...
"But you can't just blow it up randomly like this, right? What's the use of that?"
With this level of magic, Anne really didn't know how the other party learned spells in the past few years. Fortunately, she dared to say that she had encountered a lot of assassins in the past few years. So how did she survive until now? Is it just luck, or just a random blast like that?
"What else can we do? They can be invisible and sneak. If I don't force them out, I will definitely have no good way to deal with their guys hiding in the shadows."
"Armor protection!"
While speaking, Lana did not let down her guard. Since Her Majesty Queen Anne said there were assassins, there must be assassins! Moreover, if she can prevent herself from discovering them, then those guys must be very capable. She must be cautious and cautious.
So, with slight palpitations, she quickly cast a protective spell on herself! Then, in the next moment, a sharp dagger came from one direction and disappeared, being cursed by the armor... Fortunately, she released the spell in advance, otherwise, this dagger would probably have Kill her!
"All right!"
"Sister Lana, you have to watch out. I will teach you today how to deal with such enemies when you encounter them!"
Seeing that the other party seemed to be planning to launch another bombardment to force the enemy out of the shadows, Anne sighed, reached out and snatched the wand from the other party's hand.
Although the magic spells she brought from the world of Hogwarts were all quick spells learned by rote, in terms of learning, they would definitely not be as good at learning magic as the arcane mages here in Azeroth. The future... But if it can be used properly, there will still be no problem in dealing with enemies like today!
"Be careful, I will definitely not use magic spells that are beyond your level!"
"Besides, I will pretend as if I didn't see those bad guys!"
As a mage, it is a necessary basic skill to understand the spells you have learned!
But now, seeing that her maid, Sister Lana, has been studying for so many years and is still so half-baked, Anne feels a little angry. A mage naturally has to have the elegance that belongs to a mage. How could Sister Lana use such a barbaric method of indiscriminate bombardment? If word got out and people found out that she taught it, how embarrassing would she be?
