A new day has begun, but the catastrophe that happened in the darkness yesterday has spread throughout Stormwind.

It was a bit of unbelievable news, as the workers of the Brotherhood of Masons protested against unpaid wages at the gates of the town hall in the Old Town, and the poor people, who had been sympathized with by the common people, set off a riot.

At the same time that their leader, Van Cleeff, had killed Sir Soma, the rebels who had hidden in the crowd drew their weapons, intending to take advantage of the chaos to storm the town hall and plunder or simply vent their inner discontent.

Although they were subdued by MI7 agents hidden in the crowd the moment they began to operate, the resulting chaos lasted for a whole afternoon, and even after dark, not only was it not suppressed, but it intensified.

Oppressed, humiliated, faced with difficult life choices, or trust in Van Cleef himself, and dissatisfaction with the government of the Stormwind Kingdom, this lit wildfire quickly ignited, and from yesterday afternoon until midnight, the entire business district, docklands and even the garden district where the nobles lived, there were blatant thugs everywhere.

They even planned to set fire to the business district and burn down the city they had built, a crazy plan that was stopped by elite assassins led by Master Shore himself, but by midnight more than 30 civilians had died in the riots, and the homes of some minor nobles had been looted.

It was the worst act of violence in the last four years of the newly rebuilt Stormwind Kingdom, and the mixed dissatisfaction with the king and nobles, as well as the concerns of the commoners, all combined to lead to a public trial at noon today.

The Brotherhood of Masons had lost the sympathy of the people after all this, and even Van Cleef himself was regarded as a careerist and a violent man, for everyone knew that even though Sir Soma had agreed to provide them with a reasonable amount of money and had already done so, they had been brutally killed.

They went from being oppressed to rebels, the former being sympathized with, and the latter, being hostile and disgusted in what should have been peaceful.

"Edwin. Van Cleef, who fought in the wars between humans and orcs, and who made great sacrifices to protect our people on our soil, should have been a hero, and the injustice suffered by the Brotherhood of Stonemasons in recent years also makes us feel the same regret, all official organizations, including the Cathedral of the Light, are campaigning for the undeserved treatment of the workers, but alas, as the leader of the workers, he has chosen the wrong path. ”

In the square of the Old Town, the Privy Council Chaldean Priest, representing the Cathedral of Light, stood on the stone steps, dressed in the most modest robes, like his usual image of the people, and hung a mysterious purple ceremonial dagger from his waist, inlaid with gems, which was probably the only accessory on his body related to "luxury".

The Privy Counsellor held the verdict in his hand with a sad face, as if he felt the whole of Stormwind City, and just before the stone steps he stood, there were still traces of flames, and with the silent and clenched fists in front of him, this scene looked inexplicably a little gloomy.

"The long-term arrears of wages have made Mr. Van Cleeff and the workers of the Brotherhood of Masons resentful of the nobles of the kingdom, and they have repeatedly criticized the actions of the nobles in public, and have also tried to start a rebellion against His Majesty the King of the Brotherhood of Masons, and just yesterday afternoon, at the town hall, Mr. Van Cleeff brutally killed Sir Soma with his own hands."

"Maybe Mr. Van Cleeff doesn't know that Sir Soma himself is also one of the victims of the Brotherhood of Stonemasons, and in order to pay off the arrears of wages, in the past half month, Sir Soma has been running around throughout the Stormwind Kingdom, and he has contacted the Cathedral of Light, the Countess of Caterina and the Duke of Boval, as well as a large number of nobles, and we have helped him in his predicament."

The voice of the compassionate priest was heavy, and behind him, the Duke of Berval, dressed in military uniform, had a frosty face, because of the relationship of Countess Caterina, the magnate of the Stormwind Kingdom had sympathized with the fate of the Brotherhood of Stonemasons, but after the terrible situation that had erupted yesterday afternoon, he had become disgusted with these rebels.

"Sir Soma even sold his estate in Alwyn Forest at a bargain price, bringing all the money raised to the front of the town hall, intending to appease the restless workers, all he needed was more time, but... Mr. Van Cleef's impulsive actions completely shattered a good life, and he killed him, burying his former glory with his own hands with the orc dagger captured on the battlefield! ”

The emotional voice of the Chaldean priest moved many people, even Edwin, who was escorted by the duke himself, with his hands tied and a haggard face. There was a hint of emotion in Van Cleve's eyes, but it was not regret, but the urge to refute, but the next moment, he shook his head and smiled self-deprecatingly.

No one would believe him, because no one would believe that Sir Soma committed suicide... And before committing suicide, he also stole his dagger.

"It's all a conspiracy!"

Van Cleeff gritted his teeth and muttered to himself, everything that broke out yesterday afternoon seemed to him like a sudden disaster, in fact, Van Cleef has not been able to recover from the "disaster" yesterday afternoon until now.

However, unlike him, behind him, the soldiers also escorted more than 10 leaders of the ragged Brotherhood of Masons, compared to Van Cleef's "despair", these guys looked full of flesh, and even when they were escorted, their eyes shone with a fierce light, like real villains.

But in reality?

These "leaders" of the so-called Brotherhood of Masons had never been seen before today!

But it didn't change much, in the square full of soldiers in front of him, a large number of civilians gathered here, watching the trial in silence, but the sympathy in their eyes had turned into a touch of doubt, even a touch of hatred! That kind of complicated emotions made Van Rikoff, who inexplicably carried a big black cauldron that could never be washed, close his eyes in pain.

He knew that everything he had tried to maintain was hopeless.

By Edwin. Van Cleef's rebellion was dealt with at midnight yesterday, and although we have acted as fast as we can, there are still many civilians who have suffered unjustly, Van Cleef could have chosen many ways to pursue justice, but unfortunately, driven by his personal emotions, he has taken the worst, he has chosen violence, and thus threatens the survival of other good people! ”

The Chaldean priest's gaze looked at the last line of the Book of Judgment, he took a deep breath, closed the judgment in his hand, raised his head, looked at the civilians in front of him, and said in a deep voice:

"Under the gaze of the dead innocents, and in the judgment power given to me by His Majesty the King, on behalf of the Cathedral of Light and all those who are faithful, I sentence Edwin. Van Rikoff, death penalty! Suspended sentence to be executed after one month! Sentence the Brotherhood of Stonemasons to dissolve immediately! and sentenced 10 leaders such as Razov to personally participate in the rebellion... Death penalty! ”

"Wow"

This harsh punishment was somewhat overwhelming for many neutral civilians, but for those who had lost many victims in the rebellion, it was a source of solace for them.

"Hang them!"

"Kill him!"

"Scoundrel! Villains! ”

The crowd shouted and shouted all sorts of sounds, making the whole church square seem unusually noisy, mixed with the roars of men and the screams of women, especially when the soldiers hung the 10 scoundrels from the gallows, which reached its highest level.

"Click"

With the executioner pulling the mechanism, the baffle under the feet of the 10 villains suddenly opened, and the bodies that had lost their support were hung on the noose, they struggled like beasts, their bodies twisted in the air, and in the roar of the people, the lives of the blood-stained villains on their hands passed away little by little, and at the moment when they finally stopped struggling, the atmosphere in the whole square reached a strange ..."satisfaction".

The bloodthirsty desire for revenge in the hearts of the bereaved people was satisfied, but their loved ones could no longer return, and the sadness once again took them in, and low sobs rang out in the crowd, and the people, who had been extremely angry just a moment ago, became sad and silent again.

Seeing this scene, Van Rikoff's fists clenched, but he didn't say anything, he was escorted out of the square by the soldiers, he will spend the last month of his life in the prison of Stormwind City, and then after the storm calms down, under the gaze of the nobles, he will be hanged, of course, the reason why it is arranged like this is not only for the poor self-esteem of the nobles, but also for a more important purpose.

"You believe it's Edwin. Did Mr. Van Cleef orchestrate all this? ”

The Chaldean priest, with a religious symbol drawn on his chest, walked beside the Duke of Berval, and in the escort of the guards he got into the carriage to the Stormwind Fortress, in which he asked softly:

"Do you think it's as simple as it seems?"

The Duke of Berval leaned on the seat of the carriage, and he shook his head:

"No, any sane person can see that Van Cleef is just a pawn in a much larger conspiracy, not so much that he is terrible, but that he is more of a member of the Brotherhood of Masons scattered throughout the kingdom, it is difficult to predict their attitude after the rebellion in Stormwind, but even if only a third of them are instigated, we will face a war within the kingdom."

The Duke rubbed his forehead a little tiredly:

"There are people everywhere who are dissatisfied with the restoration of the kingdom... A seemingly ordinary opportunity to unite them cannot but worry me, and for Van Cleeff himself, I don't think a veteran who has been on the battlefield and fought with orcs would be reckless to this extent, you may not know that Van Cleef's commander on the battlefield is our Master Shore, but so far, he has never sought Shore's help. ”

The Duke looked at the Privy Councillor:

"Do you know what that means?"

The Chaldean priest nodded, his fingers sliding over the ceremonial dagger at his waist, and he whispered:

"There's no doubt that Van Cleef thought he could control the situation until it broke out, and you know what he said to me after he was in custody last night? He told me that Sir Soma had committed suicide, and that the dagger in Sir Sir's heart had been treasured in his home in the Wild West... Pretty ridiculous, right? But if we assume that what Van Cleef said is true..."

"What exactly are you trying to say? Your Excellency the Bishop. ”

The Duke of Berval asked with rare impatience:

"You mean, a knight of stature who would sacrifice everything he had to frame a veteran? Is this possible? ”

"I don't mean that, but on a magical level, it's easy to change the will of someone who isn't very strong."

The Chaldean priest's fingers ran over the rosary in his hand, and he whispered:

"I'm just warning you, Lord Duke, that a dark force is growing in the heart of the kingdom where you can't see it, and I'm aware of some signs of something out of the ordinary, but I need your permission to track it down... That's a real big guy, and as far as I know, he has the ability to change a person's mind without even a word... And even manipulate his soul! ”

"The incident of Mr. Van Cleef is just the beginning, believe me, Lord Duke, if the cancer hidden in our hearts is not eradicated soon, it will continue to lie on our veins and draw strength until finally, burying everything."

The Chaldean warning made the duke silent for a moment, and it was not until the two of them came to the main gate of the storm fortress that the duke bowed slightly, he looked at Chaldeans, and lowered his voice:

"I can't give you direct permission, but I will ask Master Shore to cooperate with you... And I want to believe you because in the Orc War, you, like Mr. Van Cleve, sacrificed a lot for our people as a whole Union, hero... You don't deserve such slander! ”

"I don't know how long it will take you to save a soul, but I can only give you 1 month."
