MTL - The New Order of Azeroth-Chapter 32 Sentinel Ridge
Based on the principle of not leaving empty space, Vanessa drove a carriage, which contained some grain, eggs, and raw meat. Some of these were bought from goblins, and some were recently captured by Brotherhood hunters. The variety is not bad. Complete, if there is a business opportunity, she doesn't mind selling it for a small profit.
The sun in the western wilderness was very strong. Coming out of the hidden tunnel on the other side of Yuexi Town, she went all the way north and camped in the wild for two nights. On the afternoon of the third day, she drove the carriage leisurely to the place where the Defias brothers are now. Its greatest enemy, the Westfall militia, is a human town called Sentinel Hill.
This place was originally just a half-abandoned watchtower. It was built by the predecessor of the Stormwind Kingdom, Baratheon Wrynn, when he resisted the wolf army. The great king has long been turned into dust, and the watchtower he built is slowly falling into disrepair. It settled down, and now with the return of the old knights from the northern battlefields and the establishment of the militia, a large number of civilians gathered here to seek refuge.
Now the main building of the sentry tower has been expanded by half, and many civilians are shrouded in the defensive range.
Vanessa looked at the defense facilities here. On the front, there are two ballistas facing the direction of Yuexi Town in the south. They look a bit old-fashioned and far inferior to the steam technology of goblins, but this is the weapon of humans in this era.
On the top of the sentry tower on Sentinel Ridge, there are some large barrels that seem to contain kerosene, which should be a defensive measure set up by the opponent to prevent thieves from climbing.
Two ballistas, a few barrels of kerosene, these are the defensive measures for the entire Sentinel Ridge, and there is only one half-built wall left. Then there is no protection at all.
Hehe, Vanessa can't help but laugh, is this going to war? Even kobolds know how to take a detour, not to mention what is the use of the three-meter-high wall? Her coin-operated swarm hitters can stomp out any plasma football.
It's completely a battle at the village head level, which is why the Stormwind Kingdom doesn't care. It's too simple, and even if they fight, they won't be able to fight.
It's a pity that I let you down. I'm here to win the hearts of the people.
Pointing a **** at the imaginary enemy, she drove the carriage slowly into Sentinel Ridge.
Vanessa in the original time and space can stay under the nose of the old knight for four years. She doesn't think she will be discovered if she comes here to spy on information.
It can only be said that Dafan's protection of his daughter is really in place. Intelligence agencies like MI7 don't know of her existence, let alone the dogmatic old knight.
"What are you doing? Are you a businessman!" The guard in front of the sentry tower was very curious about her visit. After Vanessa did not deny that he was a businessman, he quickly shouted at the top of his voice.
"The merchant is here! The merchant is here!"
What's the meaning? Vanessa was taken aback. Could it be that merchants in the world of Azeroth are synonymous with robbers? Such a violent reaction was a bit beyond her expectations.
The shouts of the soldiers echoed in the vast field. When Vanessa was thinking about whether she should show her dagger and fight a **** path, a large group of civilians rushed out of their simple tents.
They either held rice bowls or cloth pockets, all of them were yellow and thin, pulling women and children, and ran out in a mess.
"Please don't panic, everyone hasn't seen the merchant for a long time, we are here to help you maintain order, please believe in our honor, we will not do anything against the law." Another guard seemed to see Vanessa's face He thought that the young girl was intimidated by the posture of the civilians, so she quickly explained. Not only did he explain, but he also held a spear and forced back several civilians who rushed to the nearest.
"Please, give us something to eat, the child hasn't eaten for two days."
"This kind lady, I can drive a carriage, please accept me, I only eat one meal a day."
"Holy Light, I only need one bite, just one bite!"
Not long after, more than 70 civilians gathered in front of the main gate of Sentinel Ridge, and more people were coming from afar.
Vanessa finally confirmed one thing. She didn't expose herself, but her identity as a businessman was too sensitive at this time and this place. The current situation was a bit inconsistent with her original intention of low-key observation. It had to be said that it was a mistake.
The thought of making mistakes was quickly replaced by the miserable situation of the hungry people. She was born in a peaceful age, and she had never seen the appearance of the hungry people. When she came to Azeroth, she came into contact with a group of thieves. She can't starve to death in the environment, and she has always lacked an intuitive feeling for the common people in the western wilderness.
It has to be said that the scene in front of her gave her a big shock.
There were very few children and old people at the scene, and those who could rush in front of her were mostly young and middle-aged. Even these young people were all sallow and emaciated, and several of them trembled when they walked.
At this time, what she thought was not about being king and hegemony, but about helping these poor people. Da Fan was wrong, outrageously wrong. All he left for the West Wilderness was scars all over the place, and the Vanessa from her predecessor was also wrong. , she burned the last hope of these civilians. UU reading www.uukanshu.com
These civilians don't care about alliances and tribes, natural disasters, or pandaren. They just want to live. Unfortunately, even this wish is so vague. They have always turned a blind eye, they are busy saving the world, how can they have time to worry about these little things?
Thinking of raking grass and beating rabbits, and earning another sum of money, she lost her mind. She calculated the food she was carrying before discussing with the guards.
"I don't bring a lot of food. Can you gather the elderly and children first, and give them priority in food?"
The guards hastily agreed to come down, and raised their voices to ask the civilians to line up, giving priority to supplying some food to the elderly and children.
They are quite experienced. After Vanessa took out some tiger meat and velociraptor meat from Stranglethorn Valley, they didn't ask what kind of meat it was. They directly took five large iron pots, put firewood on them, and started to boil water and cook the meat. .
There is no condiment, no seasoning, just cook it directly, and distribute the hot meat to the children. Many elderly people voluntarily give up food and leave it to the young people.
There is a good side, and there is also a not-so-harmonious side. A few adults pretend to be the parents of the children and want to **** them from them.
With a bang, the old flintlock musket knocked down a grown man. Vanessa asked the goblin to make a pistol for herself, and it happened to be the first show today. Showing the appearance of a peerless master, he frightened a group of hungry people who were about to take risks.
The guards weren't surprised. A young girl haunted the barren place without a weapon.
It's just that they have never seen this kind of short hand-held musket. Could it be a new product from the dwarves and gnomes?
