Chapter 52 The Brave Rest In Peace
"Zack!" Alex, who had fled out of the World of Warcraft forest in a hurry, saw the galloping horse team on the way back to the village. The leader is exactly Zach who decided to go back to report the letter.
Seeing Zach return with the town guards, Alex immediately had hope: "Quick! Go save Palin!"
"What's wrong with Palin?" Zach reined in front of Alex, and the horse raised its front legs and neighed, kicking up a cloud of dust.
"We were on the way to track down the enemy, and accidentally entered the horned ape's territory!" Alex lowered his head in shame, "In order to let me escape safely, Palin used all her strength to sweep away, attracting the attention of all the horned apes... ..."
"Hmph! It was you who killed Pei Lin because of your own will!" Zach glared at him, "If I followed my prudence, why would Pei Lin die protecting you?"
"Okay, Zach!" A red horse stepped out from the town guard team, and it was Captain Brent who was driving it. He glanced at the wounded and embarrassed Alex, and said calmly, "Don't condemn your teammates because of a small mistake! Alex, you should also remember this lesson. You are very hopeful to become the next Excellent talents for a captain, these setbacks can make you continue to learn and improve!"
"Captain! Please lead the team yourself and go rescue Palin!" Alex raised his head and said loudly.
"Alex," Brent stretched out his right hand, "the horned ape will not let go of any creature that breaks into its territory, unless there is a disparity in strength. Since Perin attracted the attention of the horned ape and let you escape, it means that she has been sacrificed. Warcraft The forest is full of dangers, and it is not a place to be taken lightly. Get on the horse, we can only go to the periphery to see if there is a chance to bring her back to the base for burial in one piece!"
Alex got on the captain's horse in shame, lowered his head and didn't know what to say.
"Drive!!" Brent waved his whip, and the red horse under his crotch carried him and Alex towards the forest of monsters.
Zach and other town guards behind him also immediately galloped up to catch up.
"It's here!" The town guard came to the blood-stained forest area, and Alex jumped off his horse to search carefully. But not to mention Palin, not even a horned ape’s corpse could be seen, "Impossible! This is impossible! We have killed so many horned apes here, and the blood here is not dry yet! Perin! Lin, where are you?"
"Shh~~" Zach dismounted hastily, and covered Alex's mouth with his hand, "Yelling in the World of Warcraft Forest, you don't want to live anymore?"
"Alex, although you are talented but inexperienced!" Brent also jumped off the horse, looked at him and said, "Zach has more experience than you, you should listen to his opinions more!"
The captain dismounted, and the other town guards also came down one after another, drawing their swords to guard the surroundings.
Brent walked around the place a few times, bent down and observed some blood with his fingers: "This is indeed the territory of horned apes. But it's strange, there are kobold blood mixed in it. I'm afraid these two groups There was a fierce battle!"
"What about Palin?" Alex asked anxiously.
"The kobolds used long-range weapons similar to crossbow arrows..." Brent found a strange mark on a tree, "It seems that the crossbow arrows are very standard, not like the kobolds, which are not intelligent creatures. technology!"
"Crossbow?" Zach was taken aback, "I've only heard of stone-throwing kobolds, but I haven't heard of anyone who can use a crossbow..."
Brent surveyed the ground carefully again, and said with a frown: "There are footprints of Palin and the Kobold here. She wanted to fight but was subdued in an instant! There is a very powerful Kobold leading the team, and the situation is worse than imagined! "
"Captain..." Hearing this, Alex's eyes showed pain.
"Retreat!" Brent sighed, "Perin was taken away by the kobolds, and we can't send her body back home intact. Go back and say hello to Cato in the orphanage. ... fought bravely,
It's a pity that he was captured by the kobolds in the end, and I'm afraid it has become their food! Everyone, send off our warriors! "
"Wow!" In an instant, all the town guards stood upright, with their left arms clinging to their thighs, and their bent palms with their right arms pressed on the town guard armbands on their left arms, looking at the blood stains all over the ground and shouting in unison, "May the God of War guide Palin's soul home!!!"
"May the God of War guide Palin's soul back home!" Alex's eyes were red, and he yelled with his loudest voice despite the grief in his heart.
"Withdraw!!" In order to prevent the sound from attracting other dangerous creatures in the World of Warcraft Forest, Brent got on his horse immediately after saluting.
All the town guards immediately followed the captain. Alex looked back at the depths of the forest, gritted his teeth and jumped on the captain's horse.
"Drive!!" Before the dangerous creature appeared, Brent decisively led all the guards to turn their horses and quickly left the forest.
After sending Alex back to the village, Brent said to him: "You are allowed to take three more days off and take care of the family affairs. Forget about Palin! She sticks to the honor of the town guard and is our hero!" "
"Thank you Captain!" Alex lowered his head sadly.
"Town guards, return to camp!!" Brent gave an order, and all the town guards followed him and quickly disappeared at the entrance of the village.
"Master!" The village chief's subordinates ran over, "The village chief has left quietly..."
"Tell the bad news to the whole village, let everyone come out to see my father off!" Alex ordered.
"yes!!"
All the people in the village were summoned to solemnly hold a funeral for his father under the leadership of Alex. Filled with grief, Alex cremated his father's body on the pyre with his own hands.
On the night of the blood moon, any corpse or skeleton will become an undead creature and come to the world. Therefore, the custom of treating the dead here is to be cremated immediately, so as not to let them be infected by the magic energy and become evil undead creatures.
"I have to avenge the murder of my father!" After collecting his father's ashes, Alex bit his lips to bleed, "And Palin's revenge is also on your head, foreigner ! Bekalon!"
"What are your orders, Master?" The man named Bekalon was one of the village chief's subordinates. After the death of the village chief, he automatically became Alex's subordinate.
"Recruit me the strongest men from the village to form a militia team!" Alex looked at the direction of the Warcraft Forest with hatred in his eyes, "Equip them with the best weapons, and I will enter the Warcraft Forest , find that damned foreigner and the Amber family, use their blood to pay homage to my father and Palin!!"
"Demon, Demonic Beast Forest...?" Bekalon swallowed nervously.
