Chapter Thirty-Seven: Third Party Involvement?
Mooncreek Town, where the Brotherhood of Defia has the strongest control. - Not why, just because it's the farthest place from Stormwind in the entire Western Wilderness. Van Cleef started out in the town's mines, and it was here that the Defia thieves who now wreak havoc across the Wild West grew from here.
Of course, the mine where Van Cleef made his fortune has a new name: the Death Mine.
Compared to other towns that Leo has seen, there is a special place in Yuexi Town. The largest and tallest building in this town, which was originally founded only by the discovery of underground mineral deposits, is not a mayor's hall, a church or inn, but a school. The school in Moonstream is the tallest of all the buildings in the town, and the materials used to build it are the best.
It seems that people from this other world also know the truth that "no matter how poor you are, you can't be poor in education, and no matter how hard you are, you can't be miserable for children".
Speaking of the school in Mooncreek Town, Leo remembered a person - Staven, the former teacher of Moonbrook Town.
Staven, poor laid-off teacher, sad old man, brother thinks of you again.
"The news that Satin brought back has confirmed that Stormwind has indeed sent a paladin to the Wild West."
"It is said that one move brought down the soul of Danuwen."
"The most important point: this paladin is a member of the Lothar family, the blood of the royal family of AraΓ§o. It seems that Stormwind is really going to deal with us this time. β
There was a loud shouting under his feet...... Uh, underfoot? Yes, it's underfoot! Leo is now a gentleman.
Following the trio of robbers from Satin Farm to Mooncreek Town, he did not rush to expose himself, but secretly collected information about the Brotherhood of Defia. And the best place to find out the information of the Defia Brotherhood is the former Moon Creek Town School, which they used to conduct meetings between the leaders.
Listening to the noise below, Leo couldn't help but feel a little funny, these guys are really inefficient, and the people on Sentinel Ridge are already preparing to kill Yuexi Town, and these people are still talking about how powerful that chick named Scarlett is. I'll take it, even if it's the crooked building skills of the five mao, it's just that.
Then again, Scarlett, this chick is really high-profile when she does things, she gathers the People's Army Defia Brotherhood in the Western Wilderness with great fanfare at Sentinel Ridge, as long as she doesn't all die, she is not afraid of fierce resistance when she attacks Moonbrook Town? Or is this girl using a strategy to startle the snake, deliberately letting the Defia Brotherhood concentrate its forces, so that it can be wiped out in the first battle of Yuexi Town, and it will be completed in one battle? This girl really has enough confidence in herself.
Just as the thieves were arguing, a voice suddenly suppressed the audience.
"Okay, don't make any noise. Tell me, what are you going to do? β
A middle-aged man in leather armor and two short swords at his waist tapped lightly on the tabletop, his eyes scanning back and forth at the leaders of the thieves group present.
Van Cleef!
Looking at the middle-aged man, Leo's heartbeat accelerated slightly, and the middle-aged man in leather armor was his target this time - Edwin Van Cleef.
The two short swords tied to his waist were slightly curved at the tips, and they were Van Cleef's weapons: the brutal barb. It is said to be a powerful magic weapon, with mysterious powers far beyond ordinary weapons.
As soon as Van Cleef's questioning came out, there was a sudden silence, and the awkward atmosphere began to spread.
"Say, why don't you say it? Now I ask you, what are you going to do? β
Van Cleef asked loudly. No, that tone is the equivalent of questioning.
While everyone else in the room was keeping a low profile, only Van Cleef, who was the president, was speaking in a high-profile voice, and the meeting that had been out of tune was being pulled back to the point by him.
You can be high-profile when everyone else is low-key, but definitely not off-key. It seems that Van Cleef seems to have some experience with this sentence.
Seeing that all his companions stopped talking when they talked about the subject, Van Cleef became annoyed and asked loudly, "What's the matter?" Are you afraid? β
"Edwin, we are not afraid of fighting, but of fighting the wrong war with the wrong opponent at the wrong time."
Leo pouted when he heard it above, Nima, it's good if you just say that you don't want to fight, it's not too troublesome to make such a mistake? Besides, it has been clearly set up on the Sentinel Ridge side that the carriages and horses are coming to the door, and at this time, how brain-dead people must be to say something like "I don't want to fight".
"Error?" Van Cleef sneered, "What do you mean by a mistake? Is it right for us to let those noble doglegs be killed? Everyone must understand that our cause is just! β
Justice? Leo sneered, maybe at the beginning, what the Brotherhood of Defia did was forced to be helpless, and they were still worthy of the word justice against some corrupt and powerful people in Stormwind City, but later, the thieves who killed people and robbed all kinds of evil could still be named "justice"? It's ridiculous.
"Edwin, if you insist, ......"
"It's not that I insist, it's that we have to do it!"
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
"I listen to you too, Edwin."
"Me too!"
At Van Cleef's insistence, the opinions of the people were quickly unanimous - to attack Sentinel Ridge before the king's [***] team came to trouble.
Wow! This result made Leo really want to blow a whistle to celebrate, wouldn't it be good to do this earlier, wouldn't the final result still be a fight after talking about it at the meeting?
As for the Defia Brotherhood to assemble men to attack Sentinel Ridge, Leo said that he was completely under no pressure. It doesn't make a difference to him whether the Brotherhood wins or the People's Army wins. As long as the Brotherhood of Defia is weakened and can cause problems for the paladin named Scarlett.
Defia Brotherhood vs Western Wilderness People's Army, no matter what the outcome of this battle is, the strength of the Brotherhood will suffer a great loss, and it is time to play on its own. This is the profit of the fisherman of the sandpiper clam fighting brother.
While Leo was secretly complacent, the Brotherhood members were gone, leaving Van Cleef still sitting there, looking like he was thinking about something.
"Well done, Van Cleef. Venture capital firms see your sincerity. A shrill voice rang out, and a humanoid creature with green skin and no taller than a normal person's knee emerged out of nowhere.
Goblins! Leo was amazed by the owner of this shrill voice.
Venture capital firms? Could it be that the group of guys who will appear wherever there is interest? The appearance of the goblin makes Leo feel that things are getting a little complicated.
The reason why the Defia Brotherhood, composed of stonemasons and farmers, was able to take over the Western Wilderness in just a few years, and why some powerful nobles in Stormwind were slow to react to the loss of the kingdom's western granary, I am afraid that this cattiness in the middle is not a simple debt that cannot be repaid. The group of mercenary guys at the venture capital firm definitely played a big role in it.
"Greenskin, is that thing done? I'm going to give back the color to the rotten nobles of Stormwind. "Speaking of Stormwind's nobleman, Van Cleef is gritting his teeth.
"Of course, the stuff is done, just waiting for the final start. But you have to solve the trouble of Sentinel Ridge first, and the interests of the venture capital firm must be protected. Our efforts must be rewarded. β
"Is it done? Then let's go back and have a look. β
Watching Van Cleeff and the Greenskin Goblin disappear through the doorway, Leo felt compelled to investigate the heart of the Brotherhood of Defia, known as the Death Mine.
"Van Cleef said he wanted to show the nobles of Stormwind what the hell did he get the VC guys to do? A resentful fellow, a group of mercenary businessmen...... No, I have to figure it out. β
It was originally something inside the kingdom, but now it has the shadow of a venture capital company in it. Nima, is this considered a third party involvement?
