After an unprecedented heavy rain, a large number of woodchucks emerged from the Ural Mountains and swept across the Ural Plain like locusts. Not to mention the food stored at home, even the immature crops on the cultivated land were wiped out by them. Many villages and towns were wiped out.

Any food that satisfies hunger.

If the lack of harvest made people panic, then the subsequent plague made many people feel desperate.

In just a few days, the raging plague claimed hundreds of thousands of lives. The situation in the disaster area became increasingly serious. In panic, people fled their homes one after another. Some traveled thousands of miles to migrate to the capital of the Bantu Empire;

More people rushed outside the majestic St. Peter's Castle, hoping that the powerful Holy See could save them.

The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment!

When it was strong, the missionaries of the Holy See traveled to every corner of the Ural Plain, fanatically spreading the faith of the Holy See. They claimed that under the afterglow of God, every believer would receive blessings and gifts.

With sincere faith, the believers rushed to St. Peter's Castle with their families. They thought they could temporarily avoid disaster in this largest castle of the Holy See in the south. They thought that the priests of the Holy See would be as merciful as the missionaries claimed and would be free of charge.

He was trying to cure their illnesses, but unexpectedly, the closed city gate poured a lot of cold water on them.

Although reliable intelligence showed that the coalition forces of the Dark Association and the Warcraft Kingdom had withdrawn hundreds of miles away, in order to prevent the other party from sneaking into St. Peter's Castle among the refugees, and to prevent the refugees from bringing the plague into the castle, Cardinal Cary

I ordered the city gate to continue to be closed tightly. Even if the refugees cried loudly, even if they knelt on the ground and begged, even if they died of cold and hunger one by one in front of the city gate, the Holy See knights guarding the city strictly followed the order.

, the door is closed.

"Sir, open the door, open the door..."

"Save my child, who can save my child, open the door..."

.....

After staying under the city gate for several days, most of the refugees were exhausted and begged the soldiers guarding the city. For them, tired and hungry, they turned around and fled across the Ural Plain towards the imperial capital.

It's unlikely; the only hope lies in the resource-rich St. Peter's Castle.

As a springboard and material center for conquering the south, St. Peter's Castle reserves a large amount of strategic materials. The refugees believe that as long as the Holy See provides one percent, or even one thousandth, of the materials, it can help them tide over the difficulties. Unfortunately, no

No one paid attention to their pleas. The benevolent missionaries of the past have all disappeared, leaving only the cold city walls and the indifferent protective knights.

"Tsk, tsk, there are so many refugees, this rat plague is really terrible!"

"Yes, this rat plague is really terrible. However, we have to be grateful for this rat plague. Otherwise, how could the enemy retreat so easily?"

"That's right, it's a good thing that the demons led by the demon beasts have no food and have to retreat. Otherwise, they would be stared at by a large group of demon beasts all day long, and they wouldn't even be able to sleep peacefully!"

.....

Looking at the densely packed mass of refugees under the city gate, several soldiers leaned on the bunker of the city wall and whispered a few words. In the past two days, even though the city gate was closed, they still looked nervous; however, Archbishop Karel secretly

Many experienced scouts were sent out, some of them patrolled near the castle, and some of them followed the traces left by the enemy and closely monitored their movements.

According to various intelligence reports, the food carried by the Dark Association and the World of Warcraft leaders was severely damaged by the rat plague. During the retreat, they had to kill war horses to satisfy their hunger. Along the way, countless weapons were abandoned, not to mention ordinary swords and heavy carts.

, even the damaged magic crystal cannon and keel tank were abandoned on the spot. This shows how serious the opponent's food shortage situation has become!

After repeatedly confirming that the opponent was unable to fight any more, both the soldiers guarding the city and the higher-ups of the Holy See breathed a sigh of relief. Although the city gates were still closed, the heavy psychological pressure caused by the overwhelming army of Warcraft leaders had dissipated. The most stressful time was

, almost all the soldiers went up to the city wall to guard it, and even the mercenaries from the Ural Mercenary Group went up to the city wall to help defend. But now the number of soldiers on the city wall has been reduced by almost half. After many people persisted for a few days, they were finally able to sleep peacefully and well.

Sleep.

At sunset, several scouts sent back good news that the enemy troops had withdrawn to the Qingshui River more than two hundred miles away. Perhaps because food was in short supply, most of the soldiers had to go into the forest to capture wild animals and collect wild vegetables to satisfy their hunger.

, the remaining soldiers worked hard to make rafts. It seemed that they were preparing to take a shortcut across the river to retreat.

After understanding that the threat from the enemy had completely dissipated, many nobles who were attached to the Holy See held a banquet to celebrate. Cardinal Karel was cautious by nature, but through a magical message, he learned that the Pope had sent heavy troops to St. Peter's City and was about to attack the Dark Association and the

World of Warcraft launches major regulations

After Mo's counterattack, he was completely relieved. In order to make up for the damaged reputation, he ordered the closed city gate to be opened, gave a little food to the refugees, and allowed them to pay twenty black crystal coins each.

You can enter the quarantine area in the city to stay temporarily.

Most of the refugees were in ragged clothes, not to mention twenty black crystal coins, not even one. However, the few small nobles or small businessmen who fled among the refugees did not lack such a few crystal coins. Just like Cardinal Cary.

As you expected, more than a hundred minor nobles and their families who had escaped from the sea of ​​misery were very excited. It not only brought him a reputation for kindness, but also prevented the refugees from being brought in and increasing the burden on St. Peter's Castle. Killing two birds with one stone!

After nightfall, the poor refugees gathered outside the castle and begged loudly, hoping that the soldiers could reduce the cost of entering the castle. They were shivering in the cold wind; but the nobles and missionaries in the castle gathered in St. Peter's Church to toast and celebrate.

The lights were bright and the atmosphere was full of joy. No one noticed that one by one the woodchucks sneaked to hide near the castle under the cover of night, and no one noticed the faint rustling sound in the ground.

Under the command of the Enchantress, the woodchucks found dozens of soft soil and quietly dug long passages. In order to ensure that they could conquer the majestic city of St. Peter in one fell swoop and achieve the purpose of a surprise attack, some set the exit at

Near the city gate, prepare to rush out and quickly control the city.

Some set the exit near the military camp to quickly kill the soldiers in their dreams and prevent them from organizing a large army counterattack; some set the exit at the base of the city wall, preparing to rush out and quickly rush up the city wall to kill them.

The magician in the magic tower...

Woodchucks are known as the first-class burrowing monsters. They can hollow out the entire Gaelia without any problem, and dig dozens of passages without any difficulty. Under the command of the Enchantress, they cooperate in a tacit understanding. Some are responsible for digging, and some are responsible for digging.

Responsible for transportation, they quickly advance towards their respective goals with their excellent sense of direction. When encountering rocks blocking the road, they either cleverly go around them, or simply send out high-level woodchucks to quickly bite the boulders into pieces and swallow them, allowing Yang Ling to

The others once again saw how hard their teeth are!

"Hey, Mike, did you hear anything?" An earth magician sitting in the magic tower meditating listened attentively in confusion. Unfortunately, the sounds in the city were too noisy, and many of them were suppressed for several days.

The soldier was drunk and yelling crazily. Although he instinctively felt something was wrong, he couldn't hear anything after listening for a long time.

"I heard the sound of wine glasses clinking, and I heard the women moaning in pain and pleasure on the bed..." The wind magician named Mike opened his arms exaggeratedly, sighing like a bard,

"St. Peter's Castle, you made the soldiers and women intoxicated tonight, but why did you leave me here to cry alone?"

"Hey, Mike, why don't you have a rich father and don't come from a noble family!" Looking at the lewd Mike, the bearded magician smiled and took a big sip of wine.

After learning that the enemy had retreated to Qingshui River, the castle was filled with jubilation. Many soldiers took the opportunity to relax completely and either went to the tavern to eat and drink or find lovers to have some fierce hand-to-hand fights. The magicians in the magic tower did not

Exception. Originally, each magic tower was basically guarded by more than twenty magicians. Now, only a few are left on duty.

The three of them, Big Beard and Mike, were born into the common people and had no money or power, so they were left unlucky to stay! Seeing others happy, but they themselves continued to drink northwest wine on the city wall, each of them felt more depressed than the other!

"I swear, if I can't be the son of a nobleman, I have to be the father of a nobleman!" Thinking about the girl Celine who he was about to get after chasing for half a year, thinking about her snow-white thighs and sexy neck, Mike waved his hand lustfully, causing

There was a burst of laughter from the two brothers.

.....

The castle was brightly lit, and people celebrated in various ways, feasting and reveling. The number of soldiers on duty and patrols on the city wall was almost two-thirds less than usual, and the remaining ones were not working hard and were very vigilant.

Surrender. No one thought that the enemy troops could leave and come back at this time, and no one noticed anything strange in the ground. Even if someone overheard a faint sound, they didn't take it seriously.

The soldiers celebrating heartily did not expect that an unprecedented disaster was about to come!

Under the command of the Enchantress, a group of woodchucks took the lead in digging a passage and stood ready in a remote grove in the city. As the Black Dragon King, Corpse Witch King and others emerged one by one, the teleportation of the magic circle was smoothly carried out.
Chapter completed!
