"... Those magic cows lowered their heads, their eyes were red, and the corners of their heads were shining with cold light. They howled and rushed over frantically, and slammed into the wall made of mud and ice. splashing, the mud wall was shaking, the soldiers desperately stabbed these crazy magic cows with their spears, one magic cow fell down, but more magic cows rushed over... Standing on a high place, all you can see is The boundless herd of magic cows, tens of thousands of magic cows rushing forward, the overwhelming momentum will only make people feel suffocated, powerless and hopeless... "
The Earl of Kenmes took a sip of the amber fruit wine in the silver cup, and continued to vividly tell the scene of the Norton family armed forces fighting against the tide of Warcraft. The woman and the lady were listening to him curiously about the scene of the battle between humans and monsters.
"...a huge magic bull slammed into the strong shield, and the shield was torn apart. The soldier holding the shield was thrown into the sky by Gao Gou. When he landed, he was seriously injured and unconscious. Several soldiers beside him attacked the shield with spears. The bull stopped the sprint, but when the cow turned around, the spear inserted into it was broken... At this moment, the horn sounded, and the soldiers finally breathed a sigh of relief. This was an order to retreat to the second line of defense. Soldiers with heavy casualties and their wounded comrades withdrew to the high stone base while resisting the magic bull... "
"This stone barrier is taller and stronger than the first line of defense, and there are many defensive crossbows arranged on it. Let it go, and with an order, crossbow arrows like spears flew out, and the demon cows in the forefront fell down one after another. The soldiers They cheered thunderously. But at this moment, there was another howl in the distance, and many huge monsters rushed out of the wind and snow. They were five or six meters high, covered with thick long hair, and had two huge With curved fangs and a long and strong nose, every step they take leaves a deep footprint in the snow... "
This is the former grand duke's mansion in Gildusk City, and now the second prince uses it as his residence.
Today is the last day of the year 1770 in Gallinte. The second prince will welcome the New Year with his queen and the nobles of the Iberian Kingdom here, and hold grand banquets and dances all night long. As a New Year's celebration.
It was windy and snowy outside, but the Grand Duke's Mansion was as warm as spring. The fireplaces everywhere and the copper pipes hidden under the floor tiles were constantly emitting heat. Aristocrats in gorgeous dresses and graceful ladies and ladies abound. They chat in small groups or introduce new contacts to each other. Everyone is waiting for the ringing of the New Year's bell.
At this time, Earl Kenmax also fulfilled his agreement with Lorist, facing a group of beautiful noble ladies and ladies, vigorously promoting the heroic feat of the Norton family in fighting the tide of monsters.
"...these huge mammoth golems had crossbow arrows stuck in their bodies, and they slammed their noses against the stone barrier frantically. They can only run around. But these mammoth golems, these huge demons easily catch up with them, when the huge elephants step down, there are bright red meatloaf on the snow... "
"It's terrible..." Several young ladies with pale faces hugged each other, trembling.
"And what dreadful tales is our dear Lord Kenmes telling these lovely ladies?" came a voice from behind the crowd.
Earl Kenmes hurriedly got up, put down the silver cup in his hand, and bowed respectfully: "Your Majesty the King, Your Majesty the Beautiful Queen, and the goddess in my heart, Your Highness Princess Sylvia, your humble servants Hats off to you…”
The ladies and ladies who gathered around Earl Kenmes stepped aside quickly, and bowed down to greet the person who came.
The second prince at the front showed an amiable smile and repeatedly signaled everyone not to be too polite, while the queen who was closely following him pursed her lips and just nodded indifferently to everyone. Princess Sylvia, who was standing beside the queen, smiled and bowed halfway to the ladies and ladies present.
"Just now I seemed to hear you talking about the scene of the legendary battle. What epic is it about? My lord earl?" The second prince asked casually.
"Oh, no, my majesty, what I'm talking about is the reality that happened at this moment. While I was enjoying this beautiful and peaceful night with these beautiful ladies and ladies, the soldiers of the Norton family were fighting with the monsters that swept across the family territory Tide is engaged in an arduous bloody battle..." Earl Kenmes replied.
"Warcraft tide? The Norton family? Can you tell me what's going on?" The second prince asked with a glint in his eyes.
The queen suddenly interrupted: "Are you talking about the Baron Norton who has repeatedly rejected the king's kind invitation and never came to see him? He seems to have ignored our honorable majesty the king..."
The second prince's face twitched, and he said with a smile: "If there is such a big event as the tide of monsters in his territory, then it is just a last resort to refuse my invitation. I believe that as long as the Norton family's territory is peaceful, Baron Norton will naturally Will come to show my respect, you say, the Earl of Canmas?"
The second prince was asking about Earl Kenmes, but he stared fiercely at his queen. But the queen snorted softly from her nose, looked up at the roof, completely ignoring the second prince's eyes.
"Of course, Your Majesty the King. Baron Norton has always expressed great regret for not being able to come to the New Year's celebration. It's just that every winter, his family's territory is always attacked by the tide of monsters, so he can't escape, not intentionally." To snub His Majesty's invitation...
I once saw a record about the tide of monsters in "Travel to the Northland" written by Earl Vogelland. It said that every winter, monsters from the barbaric plains would sweep the Northland. Since our family came to the Northland, there has been no Hearing the rumors of the Warcraft tide, I thought that things had changed, and the Warcraft tide had long since disappeared.
Only now do I know that it was the Norton family that blocked the invasion of the Northland by the wave of monsters. I asked some old people in the Northland who had an impression of the tide of monsters, and they said that the number of monsters sweeping the Norton family's territory reaches nearly a million every year, which is unstoppable..." Earl Kenmes first defended Lorist, and then explained in detail Explained the source of the next wave of Warcraft.
"That's why, my Lord Earl, please send my greetings to Baron Norton and his brave family soldiers, and express my respect to them for fighting the tide of monsters. It's almost time, we have to go to the hall to wait for the New Year's bell to ring, I hope everyone The beautiful lady and lady can have a wonderful night. Let's take our leave first, and see you at the ball..." The second prince greeted everyone present politely.
But Princess Sylvia stepped forward and said, "Lord Kenmes, can I make a request?"
"Of course, my princess, your wish is my mission. As long as I can do it, I will fulfill your entrustment." Earl Kenmes bowed deeply, and the ladies and ladies present were also very curious. looked at Princess Silvia.
Princess Sylvia's face was a little red: "It's like this. I just heard you say that the Norton family fought a bloody battle with Warcraft. Please forgive my presumptuousness. I haven't seen the tide of Warcraft, and I don't know what those Warcraft look like." , if it is possible, can you please send a letter to Baron Norton, asking him to send some warcraft that died in battle? This is just an eye-opening experience for me. I know those are the spoils of their family, so I am willing to send One hundred gold fords to express condolences to those brave fighters. I wonder if my request is too impolite... "
"Oh, no, my goddess, my dear Princess, your request is nothing more than a trivial matter. I believe Baron Norton will happily agree to send you those spoils as your New Year's gift. Please rest assured, I will send a messenger to him tomorrow to fulfill your wish as soon as possible." Earl Kenmes agreed without hesitation.
"Then thank you Earl for your help, I will take my leave first." Princess Sylvia saluted again, turned and left.
"It's time for us to go to the hall. The bell is about to ring, and the new year is coming." Earl Kenmes said to the beautiful ladies and ladies around him.
"You should follow your goddess closely, why are you hanging out with us mortals?" A plump lady pouted and said very unhappy. That expression was obviously a little jealous because Earl Kenmes showed great hospitality to Princess Sylvia.
Earl Kenmax put his arms around her waist, and said with a smile: "The goddess is going to confess, and you are my baby. How can the goddess who is so high above you come here **** *. Do you think this is the truth? Baby, I am also a mortal, and we mortals should mix together to find happiness... "
The bell rang, echoing in the world of flying snowflakes, and the new year has arrived.
…
When the nobles of the Grand Duke's Mansion in Gildusk raised their silver cups to celebrate the coming of the new year, the hard-working Lorist was lying on the snow-covered hillside with a group of his men, watching the end of the tide of monsters.
"My lord, the scale of the monster wave this year seems to have been reduced by half compared to last year. The population of magic cows we lured to the Isthmus of the Crewe Circle is only about 60,000 to 70,000, which is not even half of last year..." Josk was the one who spoke , as a sharpshooter, his eyes are sharper and more precise than ordinary people.
Lorist nodded: "We should go too, otherwise those winter wolves and snow leopards wandering around will stalk us later. The remaining monsters are only about 400,000 to 500,000, so I ordered Dolles to take three A chariot battalion wiped out all the monster cows on the Isthmus of Kru Circle as soon as possible, and then turned to the fourth area, where we will meet up. This year, we must leave all the remaining monsters on Fengleyuan, so there may be no monsters next winter. Warcraft tide..."
Fifteen days later, Lorist led more than 30,000 family soldiers to build three ice and snow walls around the central town in the fourth district of Fengleyuan, and planned to rely on these three ice walls to wipe out all the demonic beast tide here. .
This time, Knight Vasimma, who was in charge of guarding the Rock Castle, sent a few soldiers and a messenger to Lorist.
"Are you a messenger sent by Earl Kenmes? You came from Gildusk City?" Lorist looked at the man in front of him strangely, whether he fell or was bruised and swollen from the cold, and wondered what happened. The Earl of Kenmes actually sent someone to deliver the letter despite the freezing weather and such a heavy snowstorm.
"Yes, yes, my lord, this is a letter written by the earl to you." The trembling visitor took out a letter from his pocket with difficulty.
Lorist really wants to curse, I'm here to fight World of Warcraft, Ken Max, who is with beautiful women, even wants me to send him the body of World of Warcraft to show off, what is it a New Year's gift for Princess Sylvia, the more the better, pure I'm full and I'm full...
Wait, Lorist thought about it, and a smirk curled up on the corner of his mouth.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Messenger, as you have seen, this is our last line of defense, with only three ice walls. The wave of monsters will soon sweep here. At this critical moment, we really can't spare any manpower Complete the commission of the Earl of Kenmes. Otherwise, you have to go to your family territory again, and bring some people from your territory. I will ask the family soldiers to transport the corpse of the monster to the open space in front of the Rock Castle. How about transporting it conveniently? ?” Lorist said to the messenger with a wry smile.
"That's it..." The courier also had a bitter expression on his face. It usually takes only five or six days to run from Gildusk City to Rock Castle with fast horses. It took them 14 days to arrive in such a snowy weather. Everyone After suffering so much, I really don't want to go to the family territory again.
Lorist observed the situation and knew exactly what the messenger was worried about.
"How many people did you come this trip?" Lorist asked.
"Seven people, with ten horses, and the rest are waiting for a reply in Rock Castle." The messenger replied.
"How many days did it take you to get here?"
"For fourteen days, a horse was lost on the road."
"It's hard for you. We came here to deliver the letter in such weather. But as you can see, there is really nothing we can do. The Earl said in the letter that you should cooperate with us unconditionally and send the corpse of the monster to Gildusk City as soon as possible. , the fastest way is for you to send manpower from the family territory. How about this, I will ask my subordinates to prepare a sled for you, and let your horses pull you to the family territory. I believe this journey will be very smooth soon. Lei Dee, take this messenger back to the Rock Castle, prepare a sled for them, and give each of them two Goldfords, and the messenger will give you five. It is hard work for them to send letters in such weather."
The messenger was overjoyed by Lorist's generosity, and suddenly he didn't feel cold anymore, and he was full of energy. But before leaving, I still asked: "Sir, how many people should we send to transport?"
Lorist held out a finger: "There should be more than a thousand horses. There are many corpses of monsters. I plan to transport some of each monster to your Lord Earl."
Five days later, the wave of monsters arrived at the central town of the fourth district as scheduled, and then launched a death-defying attack wave on the three ice wall defenses set up by Lorist. Unfortunately, after more than 3,000 steel crossbows and thousands of long Under the concentrated fire of the archers, corpses littered the field. Even the tyrannical mammoth golems of nearly a hundred can only fall unwillingly in front of the steel crossbow...
When the last one-horned rhinoceros fell on the muddy snow, all the family soldiers threw away their weapons and cheered like thunder. Lorist and all the family knights had smiles on their faces. This winter's tide of monsters has been wiped out here. From this moment on, the tide of monsters that has plagued the family territory for hundreds of years will become extinct.
"Dorles, tidy up your chariot battalion, replace the unusable steel crossbows, and immediately clean up and mop up the carnivorous monsters wandering around the tide of monsters."
"Tiger Ross, you lead the Iron Armored Lancer Battalion to be responsible for the security of the Chariot Battalion, and cooperate to mop up those carnivorous monsters. Terman, your Knights also set off together."
"Josker, you lead the archer battalion to blockade the area from Woniugang to Fenglin Villa. I don't want any monsters that slipped through the net to go back to the barbaric plains."
"Borg, your two heavy-armored battalions set up camp here and are responsible for the security of this area, protecting the people who pick up the corpses of these monsters from being attacked by those carnivorous monsters."
"Brother Shi, you will be responsible for cleaning up the monster corpses in this area."
"Yuri, your Ranger Battalion will follow after the Chariot Battalion to clean up the area, and try not to let the magical beasts that slip through the net affect the next spring plowing."
Lorist was in high spirits, and issued a series of orders.
Then I remembered the letter from Earl Kenmes, and called El over: "El, go and choose some monsters, remove the crossbow bolts on their bodies, and replace them with sword marks and gunshot wounds, so that people don't see them as iron crossbow bolts." The deadly damage caused, you can get some broken guns and broken swords on them, so that people feel that we have worked hard to clean up these monsters. Then transport them to the open space in front of the Rock Castle, and wait for Kenmas The Earl's team has come and handed them over..."
El laughed: "Lock, are you thinking of something again? Okay, leave the dark matter to me, and make sure to clean it up properly so that you can't see the tail of your hands..."
