The power of the Pope's Declaration of Holy War is immense.
After the death of Prophet Velen, Alonsos Faol became the absolute spokesperson of the entire Holy Light world in Azeroth. He was not only like a god in the eyes of human Holy Light believers, but also in the eyes of Holy Light Walkers of other races.
In my mind, His Majesty Fa'ao is also an absolutely respectable elder and a wise religious leader.
His Majesty Faao revealed the devil's conspiracy to the world. More importantly, various civilizations in the world of Azeroth seemed to have made an appointment in advance. Within 3 hours after the Pope's declaration, including Di
The Federation of Phia, the Kaldorei Church of the Moon, the Sun King's Court, even the Withered Ones, the Ring of Earth, and other organizations all spoke in support of His Holiness the Pope's declaration of war.
Some very skilled organizations have planned and thrown out pre-prepared "evidence".
In front of the Moonwell on Mount Hyjal, demonic remains and weapons from the battlefields of Niskara are placed, proving the victory of the Illidari Legion among the stars.
In the ten thousand-year-old city of Erethalas in Feralas, the Sun King personally came forward and showed his people a battle plan captured from the demons. In it, it was written in black and white that the great demon Archimonde had written a few years ago.
"Azeroth's Destruction Plan", the first of which is to seize the sunwell of the high elves as a springboard for the Burning Legion to invade the world.
In the city square of the Federation Stormwind City, several members of the Supreme Council conveyed the threat of demons to the people in a fierce tone. In their hands, they waved the horrific souvenirs made by the demons using the skulls of various creatures, and held high the demons who died in the battle.
The portraits of heroes in the war use exaggerated language to exaggerate the threat of the devil.
The Wither Patriarch summoned all the high-level druids and announced to them the great plan of life that the Wither was about to begin. The Druids wanted to transform the world of Xonos and regenerate that world with life to prove life.
The greatness of the Tao proves that kind-hearted beings will never compromise with demons.
Not to mention the Draenei.
The hatred between this race and demons is engraved in the bones of every people, and the outbreak of the holy war against demons also allowed the Triumvirate to see an opportunity to reunite the people's will. Grand Vindicator Maraad came with determination
The garrison officers swore an oath to go to war in Sha'tar City Square. The Draenei became the first race to respond to the demonic threat, and this directly led to the entire Azeroth sending troops to the stars.
upsurge.
The second force that sent troops is somewhat surprising.
It is the Bilgewater Cartel of the goblins. The Trade Prince Gallywix transferred a group of the lowest pensions from his large number of employees and sent them to the battlefield of Niscala. These goblins escorted the first batch of people who fought for the darkness.
The support materials prepared by the Alliance entered the stars, and this action of the Bilgewater Cartel directly aroused the vigilance of other goblin consortiums.
The board of directors of the Steamwheedle Consortium held an emergency meeting. The big goblin businessmen agreed that Gallywix must have reached an ulterior deal with the Dark Alliance. In short, they have fallen far behind in this trade war that has entered the stars.
This made the Steamwheedle Consortium very angry, but they did not have no other options.
Since the Bilgewater Cartel has invested in the Dark Alliance, the Steamwheedle Consortium can invest in another force that also has a stronghold in the stars.
The Justice League is currently fighting demons at the Voidlight Temple.
The entire world is undergoing drastic changes due to the trend brought about by the "Declaration of Jihad". This change affects both macro and micro. It is not only the plans of the big shots, but also affects life in Azeroth.
every little person.
To be precise, no one can stay out of this war that has finally begun.
Defias Federation, the "Wild Boar Bar" next to the lighthouse in the Western Wilderness. The secretary of the mayor of Yuexi Town came on horseback. He just posted a recruitment poster on the notice board of the bar, which attracted a lot of people who were messing around here.
To attract the attention of the mercenaries, some literate people read the words on the poster loudly. The superior conditions aroused the expectations of many cash-strapped mercenaries.
Most of the people who work in this industry are desperadoes who come from poor backgrounds and are willing to work hard to make money. They don't like to be bound by rules and live their lives in the gap between black and white. Few people can really make a fortune, but as long as they work hard, they can make a fortune.
Few people will starve to death, and the romantic stories of adventurers that are sung all over the world continue to attract more people to join this industry.
In the commercially developed Defias Federation, mercenaries never have to worry about running out of work. Rich people will hire them to escort goods. Major guilds will regularly issue some collection or hunting tasks, and there will also be police officers in various towns.
There, there will be a lot of work to hunt down fugitives or hunt down dangerous beasts. If you are really not strong enough, or are unwilling to do such dangerous work, you can also apply for a job as a cowboy on a farm in the western wilderness.
Although the work was tiring and involved dealing with animals, fortunately the people in this wilderness were simple and the farmers were generous, so it was still a good job.
"Bang"
Just when the mercenaries were shouting loudly and discussing whether the recruitment for this "Devil War" was reliable, the door of the bar was pushed open.
In the light of the setting sun, a young man wearing a brown cowboy hat appeared at the door of the bar. He was wearing a set of semi-old leather armor, muddy riding boots on his feet, and a strong belt hanging diagonally on his chest.
, the belt was filled with brass-colored bullets, and there were two silver revolvers in the holsters on his waist, and behind him, he carried a black shotgun and two cross-body rifles.
The one-handed sword.
A steel sword and a silver sword.
He was not particularly tall. As he walked, the spurs on his riding boots collided with the ground, making a banging sound. As he moved, the weird, black and white long hair appeared on his head.
fluttering behind.
Although this guy was illuminated by the setting sun, he had a gloomy and silent temperament, and it seemed that he was an acquaintance in this bar. The moment he appeared, even the rudest one was already half drunk.
The drunk mercenaries also subconsciously closed their mouths, and the whole bar became quiet at this moment.
This young man is different from the mercenaries like them, he is a real mercenary and a real adventurer.
Or call him by another name.
Witcher!
"Have a Scarlet Mary."
The young man walked to the bar as if there was no one else around. A small middle-aged man sitting there immediately gave up his seat for him. With a flattering smile on his face, he quickly bent over and left, as if he wanted to get away from this evil star.
The further away the better.
Two gold coins shining with a golden halo were thrown on the old wooden table. The old bartender shrugged, picked up the gold coins, and wiped them with the linen cloth in his hand. After a while, a glass of cocktail sparkling with feasting colors appeared.
was placed in front of the young demon hunter.
The old bartender seemed to be very familiar with him. He lay on the bar, looked at the silent young man in front of him, and said:
"Barney, how long will you stay back this time?"
"Not long."
The young demon hunter named Barney took a sip of wine. He took out a box from his waist, took out two good cigars, handed one to the old bartender, and lit it on the burning candlestick next to him.
One, when the young man raised his head, he could still see the scar on his face. It was a slightly ferocious scar that almost penetrated half of his face.
That was a "memento" left by Barney by a cunning Dread Demon five years ago when he was hunting demons in the Burning Plains.
Demon hunters, this is the name of the members of the "Demon Hunter Guild" of the Federation. It is a relatively young organization. It was born at the time of the demon invasion. It is considered a semi-official organization and often helps the federal government to deal with some problems.
"Paranormal phenomena" occurring in remote areas and cities.
In the eyes of ordinary people, witchers are mysterious and powerful. Especially 4 years ago, in the old city of Stormwind City, the witchers united and killed a fear lord hidden in the city. This made this low-key man
The guild began to be known.
This organization is said to have only nearly a thousand members at present. Against the background of other large guilds, it is like a micro-organization, but every member of the Demon Hunter Guild is a real expert, such as this 23-year-old young man Ba
Ni, he was moved to the Western Wilds as an immigrant when the Dark Blade attacked the northern border. He joined the Demon Hunter Guild 4 years after moving. Now, more than a hundred demons have died in the hands of this young man, and there are many evil spirits.
Believers.
However, although the Western Wilderness is his hometown, Barney is not willing to stay here for long, because there is another person here who he cannot face, a beautiful girl.
Alas, it’s another love debt.
Barney was smoking a cigar. He didn't care at all about the probing eyes of the mercenaries behind him. He looked a little tired and said to the old bartender:
"The guild has taken on a big mission. All the demon hunters still operating in the south will go to the Niscala battlefield recently. I have also been recruited. I don't know if I will come back and drink the wine you made."
"oh?"
The old bartender asked curiously while wiping the cup:
"Niscala? Where is that place? I haven't heard of it. From what you say, it seems very far away and very dangerous."
"Yes."
Barney lay on the table, picked up the cocktail in his hand, looked at the dancing light on the wine glass, his eyes were a little dazed, and he said:
"A place far, far away, farther than the distance between the two worlds."
After saying that, he drank up the wine in his hand. After a long sigh of relief, the demon hunter Barney stood up, holding a cigar in his mouth, and waved to the old bartender:
"Okay, Uncle Willy, I'm leaving! Wish me a smooth journey."
After saying that, he took another look at the low-level mercenaries in the tavern. He took out a bag of coins from his pocket and threw it on the bar:
"I have never invited you to drink, but today, let me be generous."
"I'll take this round of wine!"
After saying that, amidst the cheers of the mercenaries, Barry picked up his cowboy hat again and put it on his head. He hummed a weird song and turned around and walked out of the bar. This was before he went to the dangerous battlefield of the stars.
, returning to his hometown for the last time may be a kind of farewell, but he still does not have the courage to set foot in the home of the girl in his heart again.
He hurt her deeply.
But the moment Barney pushed open the wooden door of the bar, next to his cool and domineering mechanical road rage decorated with a demon skull, a slender woman in an official uniform was standing there, with her back to him.
At this moment, the demon hunter Barney, who was fearless and dared to fight the dangerous Dread Demon head-on, even had the idea of turning around and running away.
"Barney! If you dare to run away, I'll break your legs!"
The girl turned around, revealing her pretty face that could be broken by bullets. The Major of the Western Wilderness Defense Force, Ms. Amber Gilney, put her hands on her hips and looked at the young demon hunter behind her. She was furious.
He walked forward, raised his head, and stared at Barney's expressionless face.
"You made a big fuss at my wedding, scared away my fiancé, and embarrassed me in front of my relatives back home!"
The lady was gasping for air, she was very angry, she screamed:
"You just walked away! For 2 years! You have been avoiding me, why don't you dare to see me! It was I who brought you from Arathi Highlands to Westfall, and it was I who recommended you to join the Witcher Guild
, you’re going to repay me like this? Talk!”
"Say what you want to say!"
Behind Barney, the mercenaries in the tavern were lying there watching the fun, while the old bartender Willy was leaning to the side, smoking an expensive cigar, as if he was hiding his identity and fame.
After this embarrassing atmosphere lasted for several minutes, seeing that Barney did not respond, the disappointed Ms. Amber turned to leave, but at this moment, her wrist was caught by Barney.
The witcher's fingers were clasped tightly, as if he didn't want to give up something important.
Amber turned around. She looked at Barney and this young man who was 5 years younger than herself. She still remembered the first time she saw Barney when she followed Lord Saurfang to collect refugees in the Arathi Highlands.
In the blink of an eye, both of them have grown up.
"I'm leaving."
Barney said in a hoarse voice:
"Go to Niscala to fight demons. The service period is three years. It is very dangerous there. I don't know if I can come back alive. I don't dare to see you, but"
Barney breathed a sigh of relief. As the mercenaries watched intently, the demon hunter took out a small black velvet bag from his close pocket and took out a beautiful ring.
It was a diamond ring made of the purest Apexis crystal from the world of Draenor. This one costs at least 3,000 gold coins in a jeweler's shop in Stormwind City, which is already a sky-high price in this place in Westfall.
Barney took off his hat, and for the first time he bravely looked directly at his "sister" in front of him. He knelt down on one knee and put the ring in front of his eyes:
"I don't want to die with regrets. My mentor told me that men can become stronger only when they care about them."
"Amber, I fell in love with you when I first met you in Arathi Highlands. Your fiancé is a scumbag and a liar. He is not worthy of you at all. But I'm sorry, I was too
Childish, I dare not express my feelings, please give me a second chance!"
Ms. Amber is also a well-known person in the Western Wilderness. Faced with Barney's sudden proposal, Ms. Amber was a little caught off guard, but in front of her, the drunken mercenaries were making loud noises, while Father Willy relied on
There, Amber shrugged.
The lady hesitated for a moment, took a deep breath, took Barney's ring, looked at her "brother" very seriously, and said in a low tone:
"You are not allowed to die there! Do you hear me?"
"I'll wait for you here!"
"After three years, I'm waiting for you to come back and marry me!"
