On the outskirts of Lancaster, the nobles surrounded the hunting grounds.
As a hunting ground specially built for the nobles, in addition to a rich variety of prey, there are naturally quite exquisite, unique and very strong log cabins as a resting place.
Because the environment is good, the scenery is beautiful, and there is a patrol team patrolling all the year round to ensure that there are no monsters in the hunting ground, so even in the days outside the hunting season, there are still some nobles who bring their families to this kind of place for outings.
The wooden house has only one door, and it is very convenient for the guards to guard and watch the wind, but it is obviously a different situation now.
"Mom, I'm afraid..."
The little girl shivered in her mother's arms.
"Gwendolyn, don't be afraid, your grandfather will definitely send someone to rescue you." The gentle lady gently stroked her daughter's head, comforting her over and over again.
Where the wooden house was originally a door, a huge head was stuffed in at this moment.
It was a terrifying head with both fish and human features.
The lady received aristocratic education since she was a child, and she has also familiarized herself with the monster illustrated book written by Lancaster folklorists, so she knows a thing or two about the monsters that haunt Lancaster. But she never knew there was such a monster nearby.
The two slightly protruding eyes on the mermaid's head were like light bulbs, and could rotate 360 degrees freely. At this moment, they were staring at the few people left in the room.
Some soldiers saw it stuck on the door frame before, and thought they had lost the ability to move. They wanted to take these opportunities to poke the monster's eyes, and then cut off the head to kill the opponent, but the monster spat out a The water flows directly into the mouth.
The heavy armor, which is so strong that it can easily defend against sharp blades, is no different from jelly beans in the mouth of this monster with human-like teeth. The poor soldier only screamed before being chewed. , turned into a pool of minced meat mixed with iron pieces, and was eaten whole by it in a short while.
A few soldiers couldn't bear the tremendous pressure of being watched by the strange fish, and they collapsed. They felt that they were bound to die, and even wanted to taste the noble lady and the Lancaise in her arms before they died. The taste of the orthodox heir of Techeng, but was killed by two maid guards with superb sword skills next to the lady, and became food for strange fish.
After that, the atmosphere in the cabin became more and more desperate.
Though it was indeed very solid and very fine, the cabin was not well stocked with food and water, as no one would spend the night there.
What's more troublesome is that there is not only one monster fish around.
When they fled into the cabin, there were at least six or seven such huge and terrifying fish around!
The lady doesn't know how these strange fish attack, but judging from their teeth, they should be omnivorous. The lady thinks that she can even hear the sound of fish gnawing on the wooden wall outside.
To be honest, the so-called 'solid wooden walls' alone are not reassuring.
Coupled with the fact that the last exit of the wooden house was blocked by monsters, it was almost a situation where there were no survivors.
At the same time, the lady is very clear that now the lord of Lancaster, Colinf, is also in a situation of extreme manpower shortage. The opponent sent crusaders to help clean up the surrounding swamp murlocs.
Even if I die here, at least let Gwendolyn escape...
When thinking of this, the lady once again hated the design of the cabin without even leaving a secret escape route.
"You guys share the rest of the water and food." Seeing that Gwendoline, who was tired from crying, fell asleep in a daze, she said to her two maid guards: "After eating Take a good rest to recover your strength. Break the wall directly later, and choose a direction without fish monsters to escape!"
"What about you?" One of the maids asked worriedly when she realized that the other party hadn't mentioned her.
"I'm running too slowly, and I'm just dragging you down... It's better to let me distract them, as long as you can rescue Gwendoline!" The lady had already made up her mind.
Gwendoline's father, that is, the son of Colinfe, died suddenly on the woman's belly because of lust, but he, who had countless romantic nights, obviously had some flaws in some aspects, so that apart from Gwendoline, even Not a single heir.
And old Collins has only married one woman in his life, and also only has his son and one child, and has no other blood relationship.
Therefore, if even Gwendolyn died here, Lancaster City would eventually fall completely into the hands of the royal family of the Walra Empire.
"But..." The maid obviously didn't want to abandon her master.
At this moment, the neighing of a fish monster came from outside.
The lady's complexion changed, she was impressed by this sound, it was the sound of excitement made by the fish monsters after they found their prey.
Could it be that Lancaster's rescue has really arrived
No, there was no distress signal here at all, and it was impossible for Lancaster to know what happened here.
In addition, because this is a noble hunting ground with garrisons, it is impossible for Lancaster's army to sweep up the swamp murlocs, as well as those messy crusaders, to appear here.
The ones discovered by the fish monsters were probably ordinary people who accidentally broke into this place because they didn't know the way. The lady immediately came to such a conclusion.
I'm sorry, we are all in danger, and there is no way to save you. She said silently in her heart.
"Mom?" Gwendolyn, who was awakened, glanced at her mother.
"Don't be afraid, Gwendolyn." The lady could only try to comfort her: "Don't be afraid, it will be over soon."
However, the neighing of the fish monster did not calm down as she thought, but became louder and louder.
Then the sound of fighting gradually came in from outside, as if someone was fighting all the way from a distance.
There is the piercing sound of metal and iron intersecting with the blades slashing on the fish monster, and there are also violent explosions caused by magic or magic. The fish monster's angry neighing and human voices are sandwiched between them, making the battle feel extremely intense.
The two maid guards held swords and wanted to go out to participate in the battle, but they were stared at by the fish head blocking the door.
At the same time, the situation outside is also very unclear. They are afraid that once they break through the wall, the fish monster that has already dealt with the enemy will come and eat the lady and Gwendoline.
After a while, the outside finally became quiet again.
"Which side won?" the maid guard asked her companion.
"It should be a fish monster." Another maid guard said with a gloomy expression, "You also know how scary these fish monsters are... The garrison of nearly 500 people in the hunting ground was wiped out before they even sent a distress signal. They were all killed without a chance to resist..."
Not only is the fish monster extremely powerful, but the scales on its body are like iron armor, and ordinary attacks can't even break through the defense.
She paused, and continued: "The one who can fight the fish monster for so long must be an elite army of more than two hundred people."
"Can't it be a team of extraordinary people?" The maid guard who asked the question just now couldn't help asking.
"Surely you haven't come into contact with superhumans, have you? The team formed by those inhuman monsters is very scary. They should be able to get rid of these monsters faster, and they won't be entangled for so long." The maid who was asked shook her head and sighed Said: "And if the elite army won the victory, there should be cheers... But now it's quiet outside, so the fish monsters must have won."
Her words were convincing and convincing, even the noble lady couldn't help but nodded, feeling that her guess was not wrong, and felt that if she wanted to get out of trouble, she could only rely on herself.
Suddenly, the fish head blocking the door opened its mouth and let out a piercing hissing sound.
This turn of events shocked everyone in the house.
Just when they thought that the fish monster was going to force its way into the cabin, a lot of juice splashed out of its eyes and mouth, and the scary eyes, which looked like light bulbs, gradually became cloudy. After shaking for a while, the door frame of the wooden house was squeezed and shattered into a pile of sawdust, and finally hung to the ground as if exhausted, lifeless.
The two maid guards looked at each other, not quite sure what happened.
But before they stepped forward to test whether the fish monster was pretending to be dead or something strange happened, the body of the fish monster gradually became transparent, and then the whole head and the outside body disappeared. No, there are only four dark organs that evolved from fish fins, some resembling claws, and remain in place...
"What's going on here?" Not only the maids, but even the well-informed lady had never seen such a situation, and didn't know what to do.
At this time, a boy who was slightly older than Gwendolyn ran in from the door. After seeing the four of them, he was stunned for a moment, and then ran out in a hurry, shouting while running: "Mufasa Uncle! There are people in the room!"
Then a calm and deep male voice asked: "Who is it? The hunting ground garrison?"
"I don't know, it's a woman!" the boy replied.
"What color is that?"
"Yellow!"
The four people in the room looked at each other.
They couldn't help but look at each other, and they were all filled with the same question: what is yellow about themselves
But they didn't have much time to think, and the grown man outside walked in.
The moment the noble lady saw the other party, her body tensed up.
She once saw this face in an investigation report when she was cleaning up the desk for Lord Corinth!
That was the murderer who might have killed Baron Nigrania after a painstaking investigation by the city lieutenants!
