Darkness brings people the most primitive fear.

From the time of the savages, who drank blood, the fear of darkness imprinted in the hearts of humans was fermenting in the hearts of all at this moment.

Every mercenary felt their mouth bitter.

"Hell, did Hogg bring his entire army of gnolls? Didn't they only live in the Elwyn Forest?, why did they cross the river to the Wild West!?" Even if there was fire, it still looked like a shadow to them.

Commander Makaro suddenly laughed dryly: "Yo, at the best of things, Duhan, the sheriff of Shining Gold Town in the Elwyn Forest, has been waiting night after night. He waited for a hunter who could bring back evidence of killing Hogg. If we can kill Hogg and bring his huge claws to the people of Shining Gold, we'll have a double bounty. ”

"Boss, we're going to die......"

Macarlo's jokes did not have a morale-boosting effect.

"Have you forgotten, who else do we have?"

Macarlo's reminder suddenly lifted everyone's morale.

Yes, we also have Lord Duke Marcus!

Remembering Duke's extraordinarily gorgeous magic during the day, everyone felt like they had a glass of liquor in their stomachs, and their bodies swelled with heat. I couldn't help but put some of my mind on the carriage.

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

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

And, the biggest problem is that the style of these gnolls has changed. When Old Man Norton first escorted Duke's three apprentices to Stormwind, Duke also encountered the Gnolls.

At that time, the gnolls were nothing more than strong-limbed, but small monsters, and they were nothing but numbers.

Now it's completely different, using the system elves to outline the gnolls' size within Duke's vision. Duke noticed the data given by the system

"Adult gnoll man, about 1.9 meters tall and weighing about 120 kilograms......"

After the system spirits filled the targets with light, Duke discovered that the skin was greenish-gray or black-green, the heads were the same as those of coyotes, and the humanoids with their heads protruding forward were three times larger than their siblings.

As for the giant monster that is 100 meters away and has a height of more than four meters, it is marked as follows.

"Alienated Elite Monster [Hogg], data unknown, an unusual increase in strength has been detected. The hazard assessment is ...... [high risk], and the host is strongly advised to retreat. ”

Seeing this, even Duke couldn't help but gasp with a "hiss".

What the hell is this?

It's a complete foul!

Four-meter-tall? This is already an ogre template, right?

By the way, Uncle Hogg, can you jump out of your territory and run after me?

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

In the original version of the game, almost all novice players ran to hunt down Hogg after they received the wanted mission [Hogg Must Die] in Shining Gold Town.

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

One, two, three, four, the new players killed by Hogg can line up twice around the Earth's equator.

Of course, this is an exaggeration.

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

In the mouths of players, whenever they talk about Hogg, they will add the name 'uncle' as if they are jokingly. So Hogg became Uncle Hogg.

When Duke passed by the Elwyn Forest, perhaps because Macaro deliberately chose to be closer to the Westspring Fortress, which was guarded by the guards of the Storm Kingdom, he never ran into the Gnolls, but made Duke inadvertently forget about Hogg.

Well, instead of being a threat in the Elwyn Forest, Hogg crossed the border to chase him here, which made Duke a little confused.

"Whew, whew, whew!" the huge figure crossed the warning fire in the distance. In the light of the fire, Hogg's terrifying figure became more and more massive and oppressive.

By the light of the fire, a Hogg hyena-like head could be seen, with long yellow teeth and blood-red eyes. Fluffy black and yellow fur covered his body. Originally, the gnolls were accustomed to making their own simple leather armor from the fur obtained from cattle and other livestock.

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

Hogg is different!

Perhaps his size was too large for him to have any weapons and armor at all.

Or maybe it hadn't been long since he had become so big, so Hogg was presented to Duke and the mercenaries with no armor, muscles full of explosive power, and fur that was too thick to speak.

"Oh my God, did he attack an outpost or did he attack Westspring Fortress?" the mercenaries saw several swords stuck in Hogg's body.

The standard longsword of the human guards of Stormwind pierced him like a toothpick.

I don't know if Hogg wanted to show off his strength, or because he was a little insane, he didn't even pull out the swords that were supposed to cause him a little pain.

What he was holding on his right paw was supposed to be a flagpole, as it almost needed an adult human to hug the flagpole, as well as a small half of the Stormwind flag.

"Ahh

With a menacing roar, Hogg declared his presence to the entire convoy.

In just a few moments, Hogg's men had already surrounded him from all sides.

It was also at this time that Macaro and the others finally heard the voice from inside the carriage.

"Move closer to me and stay within the blizzard?"

If you get closer, the mercenaries understand.

But within the scope of a blizzard?

The mercenaries didn't understand it a bit.

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

Gorgeous sounds!

The essence of sound should not be gorgeous.

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

The ice ridge fell into the open space in a radius of tens of meters, causing the jackals' attack to be delayed.

The savage monster torrent still wanted to crush the seemingly weak defensive circle of Macaro and the others, and soon, they were attacked.
