Chapter 127 The Destruction of the Halfling Village(2/2)
Several people understood clearly and finally understood the lord's entire plan.
Disturbing the south is only one of them. Theos's main purpose is actually to shake the foundation of Molten Hammer City's rule.
Halflings are the largest land residents in the south. If they choose to betray, it will be unbearable for Hammer City.
Moreover, the addition of these halflings will be the best guide for Osfir.
However, how much results can be achieved depends on the performance of the ferocious shark lizard beast.
Perhaps, some people may think that Theos is a bit cruel to use the shark lizard beast to force the halflings. But, Theos must be like this.
Although halflings will be his subjects in the future, his first priority should be his existing subjects.
If we don't do this, Osfir's army will suffer greater casualties. Every extra day the war is delayed will consume huge resources. From this perspective, Theos is kind.
Next, a few people worked out the details here, and after a full discussion, they left.
It is conceivable that in the coming days, the entire Osfil will be in motion.
…
Two months later.
South of the Xilan Mountains, Puda Hills.
It is hard to imagine that there is such a relatively gentle hilly area in the Xilan Mountains with its fragmented terrain.
Although there are still ups and downs, it is no longer appropriate to call this place a mountainous area. There are sufficient intervals between the relatively low hills, which look like ripples when the breeze blows across the lake.
In the south, there are many such areas. The conditions here are very good, and it is the favorite place for halflings. You can plant whatever you like in these lands, and it will not let you down in autumn.
If there is no time to cultivate, then grass will grow everywhere, which is also very suitable for grazing.
Looking from a high altitude, you can easily find that this place has been divided into areas and surrounded by farms.
But today, the peaceful and peaceful scene of the past is no longer there. Any house or tent gathering place you can see is already in a mess.
Ripe crops were left unharvested in the fields, swaying in the wind. The entire area was dead silent.
In a destroyed farm closest to the mountainside, a little head looked out from under the collapsed eaves, and then suddenly retracted.
The young halfling Tok tried his best to calm down his uncontrollably shaking legs. He could not get rid of his fear of death.
Dead, all dead.
About half a month ago, the monster suddenly appeared here. At that time, they were still working on the farm, and the ground beneath their feet suddenly broke, and then, a halfling was swallowed by a wide mouth.
In just ten days, everyone here was slaughtered bit by bit.
At least that was the case in the Puda Hills where Tuoke was located. He didn't know what it was like in other places.
In the end, only their family was left, living on the edge until the end.
Why not find the dwarves in Hammer City?
In fact, there was news of the appearance of monsters more than a month ago. Puda Hills also sent people to Molten Hammer City, where he met halflings from other places.
Although Hammer City claimed that it would help them soon, in fact their actions were ridiculously slow, and they did not seem to really want to send out the army, and they also demanded that this year's taxes be paid first.
But at a critical moment of life and death, time is precious. How can they have time to harvest crops and pay taxes? Therefore, the halflings of Puda Hills can only protect themselves.
The male halflings in Puda Hill Pasture tried to drive away the monster, but without exception, they all became food and no bones remained.
Finally, when the monster ate the distant neighbors and set its sights here, his mother, in order to keep Tok and his sister alive, took the initiative to run out of the house and lure the monster away.
Now, only Tok and his sister Lina are left here.
Yes, he also has a sister.
"Brother..." An indistinct shout came from the half-collapsed inner room.
Tuoke's legs suddenly stopped shaking. He stood up, walked straight into the house, and took his two-year-old sister into his arms.
"Hungry..." the little girl whispered.
