Chapter 43, The Jackal Attacks

"它看起来像一只狗."

 

Velin 站起来,看着岩石巨蜥,对 Baird 和 Eunice 说.

 

随后,另一只岩巨蜥被解开了拴链,同样温顺地躺在地上,没有丝毫愤怒的表情.

 

"去吃点狼肉."

 

看着这只新宠物,维林命令一旁的士兵们.

 

片刻之后,两个士兵把两桶咸狼肉带到岩巨蜥的身边,倾倒在地上.

 

两只岩蜥盯着地上的狼肉,流着口水,眼中透露出渴望,却不敢轻举妄动.

 

"哈哈哈,挺懂事的."

 

Velin 走上前,捡起一块肉,扔给其中一只岩蜥蜴.

 

岩怪蜥蜴张大了嘴巴,一口吞下了狼肉.它舔了舔嘴巴,渴望地看着它的新主人.

 

贝尔德站在一旁,平静地注视着这一幕.主观上,他认为大人一定是被生命缪斯守护的人,否则他无法解释为什么这两只无脑的野兽当初就表现出了投降.

 

坐在一旁的尤妮丝精神焕发.在她五十年的人生中,她从未遇到过这样的现象.这种暴兽,就算对着传说咧嘴一笑,现在也像一只小奶狗,让半精灵难以接受.

 

然而,Eunice 知道她错过了另一个机会,她不知道什么时候会有另一个机会.

 

当我想到未来的十年,我只能做一个勤奋的建筑师,我感受到了生命的黑暗.

 

至于逃跑,在银骑士众多的星札湖中,她的想法跟送自己去死没什么区别.

 

在互动过程中,威灵分别命名了两条岩龙.

 

颜色较白的叫小白,肤色偏黄的叫小黄.

 

"Be obedient, I'll build a home for the two of you next, and now follow the two keepers to the lake to wash your bodies."

 

Only after the Rock Monster Lizard left did Verlin notice Eunice beside him. He smiled and said, "No credit and hard work. I'll ask Orlando to send you a low-level magic crystal later."

 

"Thank you, Lord."

 

Eunice bowed slightly in salute and returned to the castle construction site.

 

At this moment, the silent Baird opened his mouth and asked, "Lord, I feel that the alien race of Half Elves does not need to do this. If you dare to complain, you will be beaten up. If you dare to run away, you will directly cut off your legs."

 

"Hahaha, Baird, your idea is a bit extreme." After listening, Verlin replied with a smile, without blame in his words. He did not object to Baird's suggestion, nor did he support it.

 

"Okay, I have my own set of guidelines for dealing with foreign tribes."

 

Baird heard this, saluted respectfully, and then left the village square.

 

 

At the end of November, the green grass in the wilderness was hard to see, revealing desolate scenery everywhere.

 

More than 30 kilometers west of the Lake of Praying Stars, three soldiers sat around the campfire, bragging and chatting, killing time.

 

"Captain, I heard that you will save enough money soon, and you will be able to buy a woman soon." A soldier looked at the squad leader with envy, and his words were full of envy.

 

After listening, Eden wiped his iron sword and replied with a smile, "Soon, after this month, I will be able to start a family."

 

"Captain, when we get married, don't forget our brothers." The younger soldier took a sip of water and said kindly.

 

"Don't worry, I won't forget you."

 

As a serf, Eden had never experienced what it was like to be at home.

 

At this moment, another soldier on patrol returned to the camp, his face pale and trembling on horseback.

 

Seeing this, Eden quickly helped his comrades who were about to fall off their horses.

 

"Marcher, get the water."

 

"Oh oh"

 

After being in a hurry, the soldiers recovered and said anxiously to Eden, "Captain, the jackals, many jackals, they can't see at a glance, they are coming towards us, about ten kilometers away."

 

"Did I find you?" Eden asked in a deep voice.

 

"It shouldn't be. I looked from a distance, and when I found something wrong, I immediately turned around and returned."

 

"That's good." Eden heaved a sigh of relief, and then ordered the rest of the soldiers, "Hurry up and pack up, we will leave here immediately, return to the Lake of Praying Stars, and report the situation to Lord Baird."

 

When everyone heard that, they immediately extinguished the bonfire, put away the iron pot, food and tent, tied them to the horses, and went back as quickly as possible.

 

At three o'clock in the afternoon, in the open space of the castle, Velin, who was training, stopped, only to see Baird hurrying over.

 

"Master, the sentinel reported that a large number of jackals were approaching the Lake of Praying Stars, and there is still a distance of 30 kilometers from the Lake of Praying Stars."

 

After Velin heard this, there was no surprise on his face, he had already known all this.

 

Therefore, he had already moved most of the food and supplies from the village below the mountain to the castle, so that when the Jackals arrived, they could evacuate more quickly.

 

"Baird, inform everyone, from now on, the Lake of Praying Stars will enter a state of war, let all the remaining people retreat to the castle, and distribute weapons to the strong serfs, and the war will begin."

 

"Yes, Lord."

 

That night, Velin's order was read out.

 

Throughout the night, the Lake of Ki Xing was brightly lit. Under Baird's command, the freemen and serfs who led their private property retreated to the castle on the mountain.

 

Verlin stood on the inner city wall, looking at the busy crowd on the mountain road, thinking constantly in his heart, how to benefit from this turmoil.

 

The western provinces of the Kingdom of Elijah will be attacked. According to his speculation, the first to bear the brunt should be the Province of Lunza, and the small and transparent Province of Kadro should not have many monsters coming.

 

A hundred years ago, the Gray Mist Wilderness dispatched millions of monster alliances, driving countless Goblins and Kobolds to invade the western border of the Kingdom of Elijah, causing a great blow to the pioneers at that time. However, the upper echelons of the kingdom used this turmoil to expand more than two million square kilometers of land.

 

The province of Lunza, which covered an area of 750,000 square kilometers, was established as a province directly under the royal family.

 

Nowadays, as the Grey Mang Wilderness and the most important hub of the Kingdom of Elijah, Lunza Province is prosperous in commerce. Its capital city is known as the Pearl of the West, and it is the first choice for these monster alliances.

 

"A battle between a golden dragon and two red dragons, it's hard not to suspect that it was the defeat of the golden dragon that led to the war."

 

No matter what the reason is, it is not something that a little silver knight can explore now.

 

The next thing to consider is to block the attack of the Jackals and protect their own people and property.
