Chapter 167 Betrayal and Cause and Effect
In the hurried exchange, Shen Chen saw clearly the appearance of the seventh secret agent in front of him, a woman wearing black tights and dwarf goggles. She said hello, removed the dagger, and pulled Shen Chen into the room. In a temporary camp.
This camp was probably an engineering version of a magical concealment barrier. It formed a ten-yard square area. In addition to the assassins of Army 7, there were also many sergeants lying around. An officer in chain armor was wrapping a bandage around a man. Soldier's wounds.
Seeing someone coming in, the eyes of the soldiers immediately focused on Shen Chen. There was some vigilance and preparedness in their eyes. There was even an injured soldier who took out the sharp blade beside him. Although he lost his right hand, he still used it. He made a defensive posture with his remaining arm.
"You're one of us, don't worry!" The seventh secret agent of the Army glanced at Shen Chen's ring and then comforted him.
"Everyone, calm down." The officer also retracted his hand on his waist. It seemed that he was ready to attack at any time.
Shen Chen glanced at everyone. He didn't know what happened, but the seventh secret agent could be trusted, so he explained: "I am an old man..."
He suddenly remembered that he didn't know the name of the old assassin, and even his appearance was a little blurry in his memory. Although he was amazed at Jun Qi's strength, he felt a little embarrassed now.
"Sir, you have already sent me a letter, but I didn't expect you to come so late." The seventh secret agent of the Army took off his goggles, revealing an extremely ordinary face, looking like a laborer on a farm.
"I'm Gilny, the person in charge of your mission!"
Gilni didn't care about Shen Chen's eyes. How to hide oneself from the crowd and other people's prying eyes was the most basic homework for a spy. Her voice was a little soft and hoarse, like the sound of being torn apart by wind and frost after working in the strong wind all year round. .
She introduced to the sergeants: "Although he is very young, he helped the kingdom destroy a conspiracy between cultists and Defias to attack Stormwind City half a month ago. He was very popular with MI7 and the North County Reserve Commander of the Silver Knights. Fancy it."
If we just preach about Army 7, these soldiers may not care at all. Even if Gilni saves them, after all, the Defias Brotherhood was caused by one of the spies... But after hearing the Silver Knight, the soldiers He immediately looked over with admiration and admiration. This army was a place that most soldiers and knights dreamed of joining.
"Hello, Captain Danuwen, the Sheriff of Sentinel Ridge." The soldier commander took off his steel gloves and saluted Shen Chen with a Stormwind Kingdom military salute.
"Inheriter Shen Chen." Shen Chen also returned a knight's gift. For players, they will not belong to any kingdom. As long as they are not evil forces, players can join.
The two sides did not exchange too many greetings, and the atmosphere in the small camp became solid. The wounded soldiers suppressed the pain of their wounds and only sniffed from time to time in their throats and noses.
Shen Chen took a look at the condition of the soldiers. Although he was extremely confused, he first took out a small batch of healing potions and handed them to Captain Danuwen.
"I am an alchemist. These potions may help the soldiers relieve some pain."
Captain Danuwen's eyes lit up. He immediately took the potion and fed it to a wounded soldier without thinking much. He trusted Shen Chen, which came from the radiance of order emanating from him. Of course, if he was an enemy, he would probably Couldn't find it here.
Gilni took a bottle of potion with great interest, put it under his nose, smelled it, and then took a small sip, "Concentration flower, silver leaf grass... This is the smell of fishmen... ..There’s also a bit of the scent of a beast...which is quite interesting.”
Shen Chen's potions are all formulas enhanced by the alchemy of demon hunters, and they are perfect versions produced in post-production. The life recovery is not bad at all for these level 20 soldiers. Their faces are getting better and bleeding. The wound also closed quickly.
"Thank you very much." Captain Danuwen said respectfully.
The reputation of Shen Chen's Western Wilderness Guards also seems to have increased a lot, jumping directly from friendship to respect!
"That's a bonus."
Shen Chen looked at his half-empty backpack with satisfaction. These 10 or so bottles of potions would be sold at Jason's camp, and they would cost at least several G. Who said the prices of medicinal materials had soared? But this investment is not a loss. Part of the reputation was skipped, and coupled with the reputation value he had previously, Shen Chen felt that he could skip the prerequisite tasks and get to the core directly.
Just as he thought, Captain Danuwen checked around the wounded soldiers, then turned around and explained the whole story to Shen Chen.
"After the Battle of Black Gate, the people of the Kingdom of Stormwind finally returned to their homeland. Everything was in ruins here, and each legion was dispatched to their respective regions to guard the borders and guard against the return of corruption.
The Western Wilderness is not only ignored by the kingdom, but also by the orcs and the corrupted army. This completely unprotected plain is ignored. The cliffs along the coast hinder the expansion of maritime transportation, and the annual hurricanes destroy all the fruits of the farmers' hard work.
Except for a few mines, the Western Wilderness is almost worthless... so the kingdom only sent a few teams to guard this place. Originally, we managed it pretty well, but many homeless people came to this land one after another. , you can survive by cultivating any piece of land.
But Defias came soon. These masons who were originally loyal to the kingdom still have the possibility of recovery after being expelled. As long as we let them settle, they will probably have their own land and nothing will happen later.
It was just that the king was very angry at that time, and the death of the queen made him completely lose his mind. Besides, he was the High King of Stormwind City, how could he make a mistake? So he issued an order to have the troops stationed in various places expel them.
As a result...Defia finally became a big problem...They threatened the safety of Sentinel Hill, attacked passing merchants, destroyed and plundered farmland, and their actions were nothing compared to those orcs. Difference!
...We are guarding this land, but as for the kingdom, there has been no support for several years, and perhaps even money and food have not been allocated for a long time.
Sentinel Ridge used a small amount of funds to provide compensation for the soldiers who died in battle. As a result, everyone became resentful of the kingdom.
Many farmers who had been plundered and lost their land again gathered together, and with the influence of some local nobles, the Westfall People's Army was born. On the one hand, they hated Defias, and on the other hand, they were dissatisfied with the kingdom.
It's just that I didn't expect them to be so bold...and those comrades, they, they were so bold..."
Captain Danuwen's morale is low. He can understand the emotions of the soldiers, and even he himself has been shaken. Why should I fight for such a kingdom?
Shen Chen squinted. He knew the origin of the People's Army and understood their actions. It must have been that after the conflict broke out one day, some soldiers who were incited attacked their colleagues and the People's Army occupied Sentinel Ridge. ; And the remaining guardsmen are probably all here!
"Then this is not easy to handle. Without the support of the kingdom, it would be difficult for just these few people to reverse the situation!" Shen Chen thought to himself, the People's Army has the right location and people, and the hearts of the people in Sentinel Ridge and the Western Wilderness are there. In their hands; but the soldiers in front of them had no morale at all. Not only were they abandoned by the kingdom, they were even betrayed by their comrades around them!
"But they are the regular army of the Kingdom. Those players who joined the People's Army... there is a way!" Shen Chen showed a smile, but right now, the most important thing is to get the energy of these soldiers back!
...
In an independent hut in Sentinel Ridge, everyone from Tianxiang Academy was reporting to Xu Xiong on the past few days.
After being surrounded by farmers that day, Xu Xiong boldly proposed to join this group of "peasant army" forces, and the result was not bad. Their order and kindness values did not decrease, and the reputation of Stormwind City did not change much!
"This is a great opportunity! If we use it well, not only will Xiangtian's early disadvantages be eliminated, but we can also take revenge tomorrow! The more important point is that he finally has the opportunity to seize the official president of Xiangtian Academy. position, he doesn’t want to be bound by the identity of President Tianxiang all the time!”
Xu Xiong knew very well that this people's army was probably a branch of the small area's mission line. Although they didn't have a good impression of Stormwind City, they still maintained a gentle and kind attitude, and Stormwind City didn't seem to be taking action.
This gave them the possibility to manipulate both sides and exert force secretly. After completing some small tasks to gain trust, they were lucky enough to participate in the battle to capture Sentinel Ridge!
