Chapter 37 The Ice Storm

Darkness brings the most primitive fear to people.

Since the era of savages who drank blood, the fear of darkness imprinted in the hearts of mankind is fermenting in the hearts of everyone at this moment.

Every mercenary felt that his mouth was bitter.

"Damn! Did Hogg bring his entire army of gnolls? Aren't they only active in Elwynn Forest? Why did they cross the river and come to Westfall!?" People of this era, because of food There is a lack of seafood, and night blindness is common. Even if there is fire, it still looks like a ghost to them.

Captain Makaro suddenly laughed dryly: "Hey, looking at the bright side, Duhan, the sheriff of the town of Gold in Elwynn Forest, has been waiting night after night. He is waiting for someone who can bring back evidence of Hogg's death." Hunter. We'll have a double bounty if we kill Hogg and bring his giant claws to the people of Goldshire."

"Boss, we are dead..."

Makaro's jokes did little to boost morale.

"You forgot, who else do we have?"

Markaro's reminder suddenly lifted everyone's morale.

yes! We also have Lord Duke Marcus!

Thinking of Duke's extremely gorgeous and unimaginable magic during the day, everyone seemed to have a glass of strong wine, and their bodies felt hot. He couldn't help but put part of his mind on the carriage.

At this time, Duke's expression was very bad.

He really didn't expect that the first real battle would be ushered in at this time.

Moreover, the biggest problem is that the painting style of these gnolls has changed. When old man Norton escorted Duke's three apprentices to Stormwind City, Duke also encountered a jackal.

Gnolls in those days were nothing more than strong-limbed but small monsters with nothing but numbers.

It's completely different now, using the system elves to outline the size of the wolf man in Duke's field of vision. Duke noted the data given by the system

"An adult wolf man, about 1.9 meters tall and about 120 kilograms in weight..."

After the system elves filled the targets with light, Duke found that their skin was green-gray or black-green, and their heads were like coyotes. The humanoid monsters with their heads protruding forward were three times larger than their compatriots.

As for the giant monster with a height of more than four meters, which is a hundred meters away, it has the following markings.

"The alienated elite monster [Hogg], the data is unknown, and an unusual increase in power has been detected. The danger assessment is... [high risk], and the host is strongly advised to retreat."

Seeing this, even Duke couldn't help gasping for air with a "hiss".

What the hell is this?

This is totally foul!

Four meters high? This is already a template for an ogre, right?

By the way, Master Hogg! Is it worth jumping out of your territory and chasing me?

Before Duke crossed, Hogg was known as the newest killer in World of Warcraft.

In the original version of the game, after almost all the novice players received the wanted mission [Hogg must die] in Gold Shining Town, most of them went to chase and kill Hogg in a stupid and stupid way.

As a result, the players realized for the first time what an elite monster is.

One, two, three or four, the cute new players who were killed by Hogg could line up twice around the equator of the earth.

Of course, this is an exaggeration.

But it is an indisputable fact that the players were taught to be human by Uncle Hogg.

Among the players, whenever they talk about Hogg, they will jokingly add the title of 'Uncle'. So Hogg became Master Hogg.

When Duke passed by the Elwynn Forest, it may be because Makaro deliberately chose to be closer to the West Springs Fortress guarded by the guards of the Storm Kingdom. He never encountered a wolf man, but Duke accidentally forgot about Hogg. .

The result is good, Hogg is not domineering in Elwynn Forest, but crossed the border to hunt down here? This situation made Duke a little confused.

"Huh! Huh! Huh!" The huge figure crossed the distant warning fire. Under the shadow of the flames, Hogg's terrifying figure appeared even larger and more oppressive.

By the light of the fire, you can see Hoag's hyena-like head, with long yellow teeth and blood-red eyes. Fluffy black and yellow fur covers his body. Originally, jackals were accustomed to making simple leather armor from the fur they got from cattle and other livestock.

Of course, they would also like to get all kinds of weapons from the humans they attacked, so the weapons and armor of the gnolls are often varied.

Hogg is different!

Perhaps it was because his figure was too large that he didn't have any weapons and armors at hand.

Or it didn't take long for him to become so huge, so what Hogg showed in front of Duke and the mercenaries was a body full of armor, muscles full of explosive power, and unbelievably thick fur.

"Oh my God! Did he attack an outpost or the Westspring Fortress?" The mercenaries saw several long swords stuck on Hogg's body.

The standard long sword of the Stormwind Human Guards stuck to him like a toothpick.

I don't know if Hogg wanted to show off his strength, or because he was a little crazy, he didn't even pull out these long swords that should have caused him a little bit of pain.

What he was holding in his right paw should be a flagpole, because this pole almost needs an adult human to hug the flagpole, and there is a small half of the flag of Stormwind City.

"Ahhh—" It's a bit like a dog barking, and a bit like a wolf howling.

Hogg announced his presence to the entire convoy with a deterrent roar.

After just a short while, Hogg's men surrounded him from all sides.

At the same time, Marcaro and the others finally heard the heavenly voice from inside the carriage.

"Close to me and stay within the range of the blizzard?"

If you get closer, the mercenaries will understand.

But within blizzard range?

The mercenaries were a little confused.

The next second, when the roaring gnolls swarmed up, brandishing all kinds of weapons, and could even smell their foul breath, the mercenaries understood.

Gorgeous sound!

The nature of sound should not be flashy.

But at this moment, the "cracking" sound of hundreds of thousands of ice edges falling from the sky, the sound that allowed Makaro and others to escape from death, suddenly gave the word "sound" a "gorgeous" prefix.

The ice edge fell to an open space with a radius of tens of meters, stalling the wolf man's offensive.

The torrent of savage monsters still wanted to overwhelm the seemingly weak defensive circle of Ma Kaluo and others, and soon, they fell for it.
