Chapter 388 The Western Wilderness

In the eastern kingdom of the world of Azeroth, in the past two months, in the western wilderness area of ​​the Stormwind Kingdom, especially near the former dead mine area of ​​Moonbrook Town, a group of armed men of unknown origin began to appear frequently. Attack the soldiers and nobles of the Stormwind Kingdom.

That group of strange thugs, they have all kinds of races!

Whether it is humans, dwarves, high elves, goblins, trolls, or some other rare and strange creatures, their composition makes outsiders or the security forces in the west of Stormwind City feel that they are like a group of unintentionally wandering into the Stormwind Kingdom Adventurers here or some heinous criminals?

Anyway, that's how the official arrest document was judged.

However, Grian Stallman, a veteran paladin who has returned to his hometown of Yuexi Town in the Western Wilderness for retirement, doesn't think so! From the other party's actions and the way they were organized, he could tell at a glance: they were definitely not ordinary thieves or villains, but a group of organized and purposeful hostile military forces!

This matter is actually not too difficult to judge...

Thinking about the power distribution and changing trends of the entire world of Azeroth and the northern and southern continents of the Eastern Kingdom over the years, it is not difficult to analyze the origin of that group of people. After all, the actions of the other party and some revealed information are too obvious. !

In Grian's view, although the other party's actions were very secretive, the methods were too naive and too direct.

This matter actually starts from the 21st year of the Gate of Darkness...

The one on the northern continent was established by a mysterious and powerful little girl mage, and included all the lands in the north, including the entire Lordaeron. After the Flame Alliance formed by the human tribe and a small number of night elves came out, the entire continent of the Eastern Kingdom was trembling under the mighty forces of the Flame Alliance!

In that era when Archimonde was powerful enough to drive away, the death knight Alsace fled, and even the demigod and immortal Flame Queen, who was easily eliminated from the undead Scourge, no force dared to face the north.

Fortunately, that little girl disappeared as early as 21 years ago at the Dark Gate, and no one knows her whereabouts!

When the time came to the twenty-fifth year of the Dark Portal, the undead scourge unwilling to fail, the Lich Commander Kel'Thuzad even launched an attack on Azeroth in the northern part of the Eastern Kingdom by relying on the terrifying city of Naxxramas. Raiders battle again!

However, it only lasted less than a week from his appearance to his escape! The opponent's ridiculous strategy not only caused a large number of elite undead to be slaughtered by the Flame Alliance, but even the floating castle was destroyed by the Flame Alliance army and fell to the coastal beach east of the Eastern Plaguelands...

At that time, the Flame Alliance declared their strength to the other two major forces in Azeroth with their powerful military strength and unparalleled record!

However, the good times don't last long...

When the Ahn'Qiraj began to launch another attack on the Silithus Desert under the order of the ancient god C'Thun, the alliance of all races in Azeroth had to temporarily put aside their mutual ties. Gaps and disputes, began to unite once again to gather in Silithus and collectively siege the gates of Ahn'Qiraj!

Originally, everything was going well with the coalition forces. After all, their army was a combination of three major forces.

However, shortly after entering the Temple of Ahn'Qiraj, the fire elemental army under the Flame Alliance, for some reason, except for a very few high-level existences, they were suddenly collectively controlled by the ancient god C'Thun and began to become Be frantic! Afterwards, most of the fire elemental army died in the internal strife with the coalition's own people, and caused extremely heavy casualties to the entire Azeroth coalition...

In the end, although with the help of the Bronze Dragon Legion, the heroes of the coalition successfully swept the Ahn'Qiraj Empire and defeated the ancient god C'Thun, but... the Fire Elemental Legion, which suffered a serious loss of strength,

Together with the other national armies of the Flame Alliance, they were expelled by the Horde and the Stormwind Alliance before they got any benefits, and returned to the northern continent of the Eastern Kingdom by boat in embarrassment.

After this battle, the military strength of the Flame Alliance fell from the throne of the strongest of the Three Alliances for the first time!

Originally, the powerful alliance that shocked the entire world of Azeroth, after losing most of the elite Flame Legion, turned out to be even more fragile than the newly born tribe! In the end, they had no choice but to stick to the northern continent and the Sardo Bridge, temporarily losing the ability to advance.

However, when the Flame Alliance was about to lick their wounds, their opponents' strength increased out of thin air...

In the second year after destroying the Ahn'Qiraj Empire and smashing the conspiracy of the ancient god C'Thun, and in the twenty-sixth year of the Dark Portal, a group of alien spaceships named Draenei crash-landed on Kalimdor On the northern coast of the mainland, and soon contacted the night elves and successfully formed an alliance with the Stormwind Alliance!

This accident allowed the Stormwind Alliance to obtain countless paladins and powerful priests, far surpassing the Knights of the Silver Hand in the Kingdom of New Lordaeron! If, coupled with that powerful naaru creature, the hard power of the Stormwind Alliance has secured the throne of the world's military power in Azeroth for the first time.

Since then, for the first time in strength, the Storm Alliance has far surpassed the newly born Horde and the Flame Alliance, which is showing signs of decline.

At the same time, when the Dark Portal was rebuilt and opened again by Lord Kazak, the demon lord of Outland, both the Alliance and the Horde started a new round of large-scale marches in Outland! One is to smash the conspiracy of the Burning Legion to attack the world of Azeroth, and the other is that they all hope to get enough benefits from the new world.

However, Illidan Stormrage, the leader of the Flame Alliance at the time, ignored the strong opposition from other members of the alliance at the time, resolutely led almost all the deep sea naga and some elite Flame Alliance troops, and began to forcibly conquer Outland!

After that, I don't know what the devil hunter Illidan did in Outland. Anyway, soon, the Flame Alliance was boycotted by the Stormwind Alliance and the Horde and cut off the connection with the world of Azeroth. All links!

Since then, there has been no more news...

So far, after losing the main force of the Fire Elemental Corps, the Naga Deep Navy Corps, the Illidari and some of the elite forces of the Flame Alliance, it was once incomparably powerful under the command of a certain little girl and made all races of Azeroth The Flame Alliance, which we can almost only look up to, began to gradually become embarrassed, and almost never recovered from it!

It will be the twenty-seventh year since the first opening of the Dark Portal, in the entire Flame Alliance in the north, it is rumored that even in the Flame City of the Flame Kingdom, there are only a very small number of fire elementals left. Most of them were forced to retreat back to the land of flames! I heard that it seems that they are going to defend against a certain Firelord Ragnaros who intends to counterattack the Firelands, and are busy strengthening the space barriers of the Firelands?

Anyway, the remaining Wildhammer dwarves of Eagle's Nest Mountain, the dilapidated high elves of Quel'Thalas, and the Kingdom of New Lordaeron, which had not had time to restore its national power, lost strategic points one after another in the Northern Expedition of the Stormwind Alliance. to Salto Bridge and Southshore! They can only hide in Tarren Mill in the Hillsbrad Hills, Stromgarde and Hammerfall in the Arathi Highlands, and the Amber Mill defense line in Silverpine Forest. With the air force superiority of the Fire Elemental, they could barely contain the Stormwind Alliance's northward offensive.

But even so, anyone with a discerning eye can see that if the Stormwind Alliance hadn't been busy attacking Outland and dealing with the Burning Legion that planned to make a comeback, the Northern Expedition's battle line would have already been pushed to the Tirisfal Forest...

Because of Illidan's behavior, and in the face of naked interests, the nobles of Stormwind City completely abandoned the Lordaeron who had saved them at the beginning, and classified the entire Flame Alliance in the north as more powerful than the orc tribe. Evil existence!

Therefore, Gryan Stallman, an experienced old paladin with sharp eyes, can tell at a glance: the small force that is making trouble here in the granary of the Stormwind Kingdom, must be with the Flame Alliance. Can't get rid of it!

They just want to disrupt the Stormwind Kingdom's interior, so as to consume and disperse the strength of Stormwind City!

Otherwise, where did the humans, dwarves, high elves, and a small number of fire elemental creatures that were active near Yuexi Town come from? How could it be possible for a group of ordinary thugs to do things like the organized and purposeful sabotage and assassination, as well as the instigation and arming of the remnants of the Defias Brotherhood?

You know, Grian Stolman joined Uther's army after the Second Orc War, and then worked in the holy city of Stratholme as a paladin of the Silver Hand Knights and served, and miraculously survived the massacre of Stratholme.

Then, during the Scourge War, Grian followed the Knights of the Silver Hand to fight north and south. After Uther the Lightbringer died in the battle of Andorhal, he finally chose to leave Lordaeron frustrated. , returned to his hometown of Westfall and has been living in seclusion until now.

Therefore, although he looks like an old townsman of Yuexi Town who doesn't understand anything, in fact, he is a powerful paladin general who can still go to the battlefield! During this time, he still saw everything in his eyes!

So, today, he organized and led a dozen armed militiamen from Yuexi Town that he had trained before, armed with long swords and shields, and successfully surrounded a black man wearing a red face scarf and holding a sharp blade in an alley. Thieves with short hair.

"..."

After looking at the other party up and down, it was not difficult for Grian to see: the other party should be a woman, and a very young woman at that! Looking at the other person's appearance, the snow-white and tender complexion and oval ears, it should be a human without a doubt!

"Huh! Red mask, thieves' attire... Sure enough, you should be the remnant of the Defias Brotherhood... After a few years, you have revived again? Or... some people with ulterior motives reawakened you?"

With just one glance, Grian roughly recognized the other party's background.

In other timelines, he should have started organizing the People's Army long ago! However, due to the influence of some butterfly effects, Van Cleef was wiped out too early, so he has been out of work until now. He barely has a group of dozens of militiamen under his command. As for the people's army or something, it is still far away.

"Put down your weapons and surrender! You are now completely surrounded by us, and it is useless to resist!"

Wearing plain clothes and holding a huge warhammer in his hand when he was a paladin of the Silver Hand, Grian once again persuaded the female thief surrounded by them, who looked too young.

He knew that the other party might be just a refugee who had gone astray, and everything was for survival or those muddled accounts of the Stormwind Kingdom in the past? Therefore, Grian didn't want to demand too much from the other party, as long as the other party was willing to surrender and did not commit serious crimes after being investigated, then he would definitely fight for a lighter sentence for the other party.

Although most of the people in the Westfall are not living well, and the kingdom is taxed heavily due to various military activities, but as long as you can survive, it is always wrong to rebel, and it is even worse to join the Defias Brotherhood good!

"I bother!"

"You lackeys of the Stormwind nobles! You have been oppressing and mutilating countless innocent people in the western wilderness. You once abused the migrant workers of our stonemason union. Do you think we will forget the previous blood debt?"

"I can tell you: no one will wake us up! As long as your oppression is still there, as long as justice has not been done, we will never surrender! Although, sometimes we will be silent, but in fact, we are always awake Come on! As long as the timing is right, our sharp blade of revenge will cut your necks and let you bleed out those dirty blood!"

As soon as Grian finished speaking, a tender and crisp female voice came out from behind the red veil, making the surrounding militiamen think that this female thief surrounded by them, this member of the Defias Brotherhood , it seems that he is only fifteen or sixteen years old at most.

"Sure enough...it's the stonemason's guild again..."

The old paladin sighed with some headaches, some things he didn't want to hear, or thought to have been forgotten, would always be picked up inadvertently.

"Young man, actually... you shouldn't be so extreme, you have to know that in this beautiful world of Azeroth, as long as there is or is, there is always hope... You shouldn't hold grudges against the Stormwind Kingdom, some The best choice is to forget about things as soon as possible... Please believe me, as long as you have hope, everything will gradually get better."

Sighing in his heart, Grian, who probably understood something, continued to persuade him patiently.

The shit about the stonemasons union happened many years ago... Looking at the age of this little girl, she looks only fifteen or sixteen years old now, but back then, she was only a few years old at most. It's just a girl, she shouldn't remember too much.

Therefore, as long as you clearly explain some of the negative things instilled in the other party, you can still win it back.

"Hahaha! This is really a joke! You, a lackey of the nobles of Stormwind, are... telling me hope?!"

"Hope... Is that what I should feel when I just watched you noble lackeys chop off my father's head? Hope, to me, is just a vicious joke in this cruel world! Hope ...It doesn't exist, it exists, only Vanessa!"

The masked female thief laughed loudly and refuted the stupid remarks of the old paladin opposite with bitter words full of deep-rooted hatred.

Back then, she groped in the dark and struggled to climb out of the death mine, and followed those unrecognizable traces all the way. With her bare feet, she went through all kinds of hardships and finally came to the evil Stormwind City In front of the gate, when she was young, what she saw in the icy and bone-chilling storm was only her father's dead head!

At that time, he was packed in a small wooden cage and hung by the city gate by those villains...

That scene... She still has never forgotten it! !

And now, this old guy, this lackey of Stormwind City, actually wants to persuade her to surrender? Heh... he is simply wishful thinking!

Once, during the years of her training on the land of Quel'Thalas, she swore that she would never destroy the Kingdom of Stormwind before those dirty nobles paid their debts with blood. compromise! She believed that one day, she would use her pitch-black dagger to wash those dirty and greedy Storm nobles with blood!

And this is that she secretly led a group of followers who also hated the Stormwind Alliance without telling her high elf teacher some time ago, resolutely took a boat south, arrived here in the western wilderness, and once again carried the banner of the Defias Brotherhood , intending to complete the root cause of her father's unfinished business!

During this period of time, Vanessa has gathered some nearby refugees and the remnants of the original stonemason union, making them closely unite around her, and using these people, Vanessa finally got what she wanted Rebuilt the Defias Brotherhood.

Their current members have exceeded 3,000, and those who can fight have reached as many as 1,000, far exceeding the number of soldiers in Stormwind City in the Westfall! Moreover, they even chanted the novel slogans of killing nobles, dividing land, and paying less tax!

Because of this, every day, countless people quietly choose to join them, and their power is growing every moment and every second.

Therefore, Vanessa believes that the day when the weapons they ordered from the goblins arrive, it will be the moment when the people of their western wilderness revolt!

However, what Vanessa never expected was that when she planned to assassinate a corrupt aristocratic official appointed by Stormwind City in Moonbrook Town today, she would be surrounded by the militiamen who had been ambushing here long ago and that damned saint. The old Cavaliers are stuck here.

"Vanessa...Van Cleef...So that's how it is...Forget it, go on, capture her with all your strength, if she resists...shoot to death!"

Hearing the words and name of the other party, Grian was stunned for a while, and suddenly stopped persuading, just sighed, waved his hands, and planned to let his subordinates forcefully go forward to take down this young little girl.

This kind of teenage young man, especially this kind of guy who grew up under the influence of endless hatred, is particularly extreme. General persuasion is definitely useless, let alone the hatred of killing his father up! Therefore, for the stability of Yuexi Town, for the western wilderness, and for the sake of less turmoil in the Stormwind Kingdom, Grian decided to take down the opponent directly.

"yes!!"

Hearing the order, four Yuexi town militiamen with wooden shields and long swords surrounded the female bandits surrounded by them. They are all wealthy families in the western wilderness or descendants of aristocrats, and they are all vested interests with a lot of property, so they will not go with these Diffies who have no horses, houses, or land, and are thinking about rebellion all day long. The remnants of the Asian Brotherhood are mixed together, and they are even less likely to sympathize with each other.

In their view, whether it is those refugees or the remnants of the stonemason union, they are actually some outsiders. They are struggling to survive and the most miserable existence in the western wilderness, and they don't think much of them!

"Hmph! Want to catch me?!"

Fan of Knives! !

Since the other party wanted to kill, Vanessa, a female thief, was not soft on her hands. She simply turned the dozens of sharp throwing knives enchanted with shadow energy in a special way and strength. In an instant, they crazily poured out towards the surroundings, making them instantly form a violent fan of knives covering a radius of more than ten meters, and poured directly on all the militiamen who participated in surrounding her!

Because she knows that there are quite a few Storm King militiamen and security forces here in Yuexi Town, and the old knight makes her very afraid. If it really delays, then she may not be able to escape!

Therefore, she must go all out!

Either, kill all these soldiers blocking the way and find a chance to evacuate; or, they will miss and be captured and die aggrieved!

"Not good! Let go!!"

Seeing that the female bandit shot so fiercely, and those weapons seemed to have black toxins on them, Grian was anxious, so he shouted loudly! Then, he quickly used the holy light to release a layer of holy barriers in front of him, and successfully blocked all the knives that were shot at him!

However, the ones that shot around and shot at the militiamen, he couldn't do better.

The next moment, he saw with tearful eyes that the dozens of militiamen he had brought fell to the ground screaming! They were either dead or injured, and for the lighter ones, at least one or two black sharp knives were stuck in their arms or thighs, which were not protected by armor, and they fell to the ground, howling...

And for those heavy ones, their shields were simply broken, and their bodies were stabbed dozens of times, and they lay on the ground and never moved again.

"What a cruel little girl, how dare you do this!!"

Seeing that the opponent was so cruel and merciless, the angry Grian immediately aroused the warhammer in his hand and burst out golden holy light, like a raging old lion, he flew towards the enemy.

"Humph!"

disappear! !

After looking at her results with satisfaction, Vanessa sneered, and didn't care about the other party or plan to fight recklessly. Instead, she just disappeared, entered a stealth state in an instant, and disappeared without a trace.

"it's here!"

Against thieves, how could it be difficult to stop Grian, a veteran paladin?

Therefore, after feeling the slight changes in the surrounding area, he forcibly turned in the middle of the attack, raised his hammer infused with holy light high, and swooped in another direction!

"Accept the judgment of the Holy Light!!"

The war hammer shining with a strong golden light, like a small golden sun, fiercely smashed towards an empty space without anyone or anything!

boom! ! !

When his warhammer collided with the masonry floor and debris splattered, Grian was surprised to find that his attack just now failed?

"!!"

Sure enough, the enemy... is gone now...

Grian was very embarrassed that the blow that he thought he was going to win would come to nothing! However, he was 100% sure that just now, that enemy was standing here!

But how did she disappear?

When he began to perceive carefully again, he found that there seemed to be no trace of the enemy except for some faint shadow energy remnants.

"etc……"

"It seems to be, shadow energy? That young enemy is actually a thief with pure shadow energy?!"

When Grian silently pulled out a throwing knife with a dark black blade from one of his dead militiamen, he was surprised to find that it was indeed a pure shadow energy? However, if you have this kind of innate talent, is it really good to learn the way of thieves instead of learning the holy light or becoming a shadow priest?

He, Grian, knows that there is not much boundary between holy light and shadow, just like the Ashbringer of a colleague of the Silver Queen Knights in the Northern Flame Alliance! That artifact was said to have been forged from a shadow crystal before the Scourge was defeated.

"Alas... Westfall, I'm afraid there will be big trouble!"

Looking at the dead and wounded men around him, Grian sighed heavily.

He knew that the other party should have used some kind of shadow priest's means to forcefully escape from his attack just now.

Now, after so many years, the Defias Brotherhood is back again...

Although, two years ago, King Varian had returned and exposed the identity of a certain female countess and successfully drove her away, but... Those bad things back then have finally begun to brew here in the western wilderness again. As for When it will explode, then he is not very clear...
