Azeroth Trail of Light

Chapter 603 3. Les Miserables

Van Cleef has experienced many battles in his life. When he put down the mason's hammer and picked up the sword, he no longer took his own life seriously.

He used to fight for the fooled and murdered stonemason brothers of the Stonemason Brotherhood. After the First Orc War, they rebuilt Stormwind City for the royal family of Wrynn, but they didn't get their own rewards. No!

Those nobles fooled them, mocked them, exiled them, and finally killed them when they marched. Stormwind did not allow this scandal to be exposed. The leader of the Defias became the leader of the Defias Brotherhood, from the stonemason to the thief, from the commoner to the Avenger.

Van Cleef didn't think it was difficult to kill people. Although he was better at carving stones, flesh and blood were much easier to deal with than stones, wasn't it?

From the perspective of an Avenger, Van Cleef was absolutely successful. Under the ravages of the Defias Brotherhood, the Westfall, the granary of Stormwind City, was completely separated from the country and almost became Van Cleef's private territory. , and most importantly, with the help of a certain big man in the dark, Van Cleef has achieved a feat that many people have failed to achieve.

He set off a riot, stormed into Stormwind, and even killed the king's queen.

Although Van Cleef knew that it was impossible for him to attack the kind queen, but the queen died in the riot he set off. Van Cleef knew that he had been fooled. He was just a stonemason who wanted revenge. Those dead brothers had revenge, but at that moment, knowing that he was involved in some terrible conspiracy, he became a knife against Wrynn.

From voluntary joining to being involuntary, from separatism to being defeated, after King Varian returned to Stormwind, the Defias Brotherhood, which dominates the western wilderness, fell apart in less than a year, and Van Cleef was also caught. But he was not sentenced to death.

Varian knew that his queen did not die at the hands of this good stonemason and not so good rebel, but the fact that Van Cleef started a riot is indisputable, so he participated in the undead war and was sent to the Here, I am about to be sent to another world.

They call it exile. But Van Cleef doesn't care what's behind that door, he doesn't care that he's going to live, come back alive from Draenor, go see his daughter, and after the Fraternity falls apart, all Van Cleef has is his own Daughter, she was fostered on a farm in the Westfall, and Varian promised that he would not trouble Vanessa, on condition that he stayed in Draenor for 5 years.

5 years only

However, these past memories, like the battle 3 days ago, have long been forgotten by the assassin. Now he is walking in the slums in the outer city of Honor Hold. He is wearing a black cloak with AF embroidered on it The mark of the Defias Chapter and a blood-stained dagger.

After seeing this sign, the scum in the slums, the three hands of all races, automatically filtered Van Cleef out of the target.

There are nearly 150,000 recruits consisting of scum, villains, and prisoners from various countries distributed throughout the Hellfire Peninsula, 100,000 of whom live in Honor Hold, and only those who have participated in 3 battles against demons and survived are eligible to establish own battle group. You must know that mortals seem so weak and powerless when fighting against demons. General Rosenden did not deceive Van Cleef. In the dead world of Draenor, the death rate of recruits participating in the battle is really close to 100%. .

Usually, out of 1,000 recruits, less than 100 may survive. From this point of view, those who can survive 3 battles are definitely the best among these scumbags.

Of course, compared to the frontline against demon invasion, Shadowmoon Valley, Netherstorm, Shattrath City and Blade's Edge Mountains, Hellfire Peninsula is undoubtedly a novice zone, and demon wars here are not as frequent as we imagined , otherwise it is impossible to retain 150,000 people.

The Defias Warband is a small warband formed by these lucky ones. There are only 15 members. They are the backbone of the Defias Brotherhood. Ivar did not deceive Van Cleef. After the fort, the old brothers from the beginning found them immediately, and absorbed Van Cleef into the battle group as a reserve member. Since Van Cleef had already participated in the battle on the front line of the Dark Portal once, he only needed to go through 2 more battles. After one battle, you can really join the battle group.

As a member of the warband, Van Cleef is already qualified to live in the inner city of Fort Honor, but he entered the most chaotic slum today, not for fun. Iva said he would give him a chance, but in fact he gave him a chance. It was just news, and for this, Van Cleef bet on the future of himself and his old brothers.

But generally speaking, the Defias warband is profitable, because the bloodfang warband active in the Netherstorm is one of the seven most powerful warbands in the Shattered World of Draenor, known for its wild battles in the Broken World , even if it ranks 7th in the end, it is still not comparable to a rookie like Defias. Therefore, as long as Van Cleef can abandon his indifferent self-esteem, this is actually a win-win thing.

Van Cleef walked among the slums, and his destination was in the deepest part of the slums. Along the way, even the great thief who once had cholera in a province of the entire Stormwind Kingdom was somewhat shocked by the situation in Honor Hold.

The rulers of this city are said to be the master demon hunter from the Illidari and the death lord from the night watchman army. These two people are very mysterious and almost never appear in front of everyone, but every time they appear, they must be the real giants. Events, such as a month ago, an army of evil orcs betrayed Hellfire Citadel and turned to the demon side. The Lord of Death personally led the Night Watch army to fight against it for a day, and returned to Honor Hold with the head of the traitor. It almost lost one-fifth of the battle group in Honor Hold, but the result was gratifying.

This fortress was originally built by General Danas Trollbane, one of the five heroes of Outland, and now it has been completely urbanized. The original fortress area was used as an inner city for members of large and small battle groups to live in. There are about 6,000 people. They are regarded as the top level of the Fort of Honor, and they are directly under the management of the city lord. They are like special forces. They need to go to various places to perform various tasks. There are extra bounties!

The various enjoyment and living conditions of the members of the warband are first-class. Van Cleef’s older brother, Willie, who is 38 years old, even raised three female slaves. , It is much more comfortable than the little nobles in Stormwind City.

The outer city is a circle surrounding the inner city, inhabited by veterans who have participated in battles against demons, but have not yet qualified for the battle group. The number of these people is about 40,000. They are members of the regiment, but it is definitely much better than the precarious days before. It is not an exaggeration to drink and eat. This group of people is the most motivated and will even take the initiative to find demons in Hellfire Peninsula to fight.

Finally, there are the outermost slums and the large military camp. The recruits of the Illidari and the large tomb of the Night's Watch Legion are stationed in the military camp. They are actually the main force against the invasion of demons, and they are also the most mysterious place. As for the slums, the people living here All real scum and cowards.

This sentence is not an exaggeration, nor is it a sarcasm. The recruits are criminals and villains in the whole of Azeroth. They should not lack courage. In fact, if they really risk their lives, they will go to the darkness two days away from Honor Hold On the front line of Zhimen, it only takes a few days to survive three battles and become a real master. Unfortunately, not everyone has the courage to risk their lives for the future.

Moreover, this kind of cowardly guy actually occupies the mainstream. More than half of the 100,000 people in Honor Fort live in slums, accepting the lowest level of bread and drinking water. They neither have the courage to fight the devil, nor leave the city Their plan to go out on their own is also to live.

but just alive

Don't expect the environment in the slums to be so good. In fact, Van Cleef felt that even the darkest cell in Stormwind City was ten thousand times better than this ghostly place! At least there won't be prisoners defecating anywhere, and there is still the most basic order, but here, there is only chaos, real chaos!

It is said that four out of ten people here are thieves on average, or that everyone here is a potential thief.

People walking on the road are pale and thin, with dull eyes, but when they look at those who are weaker than them, they will reveal a fierce light. Despair oppresses everyone's heart, and I don't know when it will make them vulnerable The heart breaks down, and people live because of a heart. Once the heart breaks down, no one knows what will happen.

No one wants to be neighbors with lunatics, but now in the slums of Honor Hold, there are more than 50,000 lunatics living. This is too scary.

boom

Van Cleef was thinking, when a scolding sound sounded behind him, a weak troll holding bread and drinking water was knocked to the ground by two black iron dwarves, and the bread in his hand was savagely snatched away, the troll He still wanted to resist, but was beaten desperately by two violent dwarves. A few minutes later, the dying troll swallowed his last breath.

Then a few thin goblins sprang out from the alley next to it, took all the usable things from the troll's corpse, and threw the corpse on the street, the bright red blood intertwined with the dirty ground , and the attitude of people around turning a blind eye, and that kind of weirdness that makes people want to go crazy.

All this made Van Cleef, who entered here from the civilized world and the world of order, feel oppressed. He looked up at the sky. There is no daylight here. The Hellfire Peninsula is a torn continent. There is only darkness here. Without even a shred of hope, there is only despair.

Desperation everywhere.

The leader of the thieves glanced back at the corpse, and a few sneaky ogres came from the side, carried the corpse, and walked into the darkness.

What are they going to do?

Van Cleef hastily stopped thinking in his heart, he didn't dare to think anymore. He didn't want to think anymore.

He suddenly quickened his pace, he wanted to get out of here and finish the job! After finishing the work, I left immediately and went to stay in the upper city. After 5 years, I returned to the Westfall to be a farmer and watched my daughter Vanessa grow up happily. I can't die here!

Can't die in this hopeless and chaotic hell!

He was anxious about the information that Iva told him before he left. In the deepest part of the slum, the most panicked and deadest place, the third row, the seventh column, a small house with a small gate that only allows one person to enter and exit. The meaningless numbers 10086 are engraved on the outside of the door.

He looked around, took a deep breath, stepped forward, tapped three times, waited for 3 seconds, tapped twice, and finally raised his fist and slammed it on the door.

Two minutes later, the closed door opened, and a deep voice sounded,

Come in, sir, I have everything you want here, if you can afford it!

After another 10 minutes, the pale Van Cleef came out of the room carrying a small black leather box, straightened his clothes, and strode into the slums.

Destiny is already in your hands!

My daughter Vanessa, wait for me!

5 years. Only need 5 years!
