10. The Fire of the Wild West

In the western wilderness, Alex's farm near Moonbrook Town has been completely destroyed. Infantry from Western Spring Fortress and Stormwind City are stationed here, almost surrounding Moonbrook Town from all directions.

The 1,000 infantrymen of Western Spring Fortress fight against the gnolls that infest Elwynn Forest all year round. Their combat effectiveness is very strong, plus the Stormwind City defense general Marcus Jonathan and the 500 elite soldiers he led, who came to personally command the battle.

Assisting in the battle, Stormwind City's power in the western wilderness reached its strongest period.

Following the general, there was also a dwarf artillery team. Five artillery pieces were aimed at Yuexi Town. Just waiting for an order, the destructive shells would completely destroy the town that had no civilians left.

The serious injuries of Queen Tiffany and Countess Catalina made King Varian and Duke Bolvar very angry. They were determined to solve the Brotherhood's rebellion with thunder, in order to deter the restless forces in the country.

But when General Jonathan actually arrived at the battlefield of Moon Creek Town, he discovered that the Brotherhood was not as weak as he thought.

The general was riding on an armored horse. He was holding a telescope and observing the battle situation around Yuexi Town from a high position. There was a mysterious force helping these rebels. Those warriors in black armor were skilled and powerful in combat. Their number was

There are about 100 people, each member is equipped with an armored black horse, and every charge they make can defeat the battle line organized by the infantry.

"These guys remind me of the Arathor heavy cavalry in the Burning Plains... Their tactics rely on the power of charge to break through the orc defenses again and again, but these guys who work for money are definitely nothing like the Arathor heavy cavalry.

relation."

General Jonathan has experienced two orc wars. The black-armored knights who frequently appeared on the battlefield in Moon Creek Town made him feel threatened. It seemed that the Defias Brotherhood's rebellion had some problems that they had not yet encountered.

The forces of discovery intervened.

"Are the spies back?"

The general turned to look at the adjutant behind him, who shook his head: "It has been 2 hours since the spies from MI7 entered Yuexi Town, but it seems like they have disappeared into the sea. That place is very strange. General, the Masons Brotherhood are all...

For workers who are good at construction, it is difficult to tell whether they have built fortresses underground, and artillery may not be able to completely destroy their defenses."

"But the roar of the artillery will announce our arrival to them!"

General Marcus decided not to wait any longer. He raised his left hand high. This action caused the dwarf artillerymen to move quickly, aiming and loading, all in one go. After more than ten seconds, the general took one last look at the distant enemy.

Yuexi Town, his left hand suddenly waved down.

"fire!"

"Boom boom boom"

Five scorching cannonballs rushed out of the barrel with a loud noise, streaked through the air with a scorching trajectory, and accurately hit the center of Yuexi Town. The explosion and flames that landed on the ground swept away those fragile buildings.

The combat experience summed up in the Orc War allowed the Alliance soldiers to hold their weapons tightly during the bombardment and finally check the equipment.

Once the bombardment is over, it's time for the infantry to take action.

At the same moment, beneath the ground of Moon Creek Town, in the dim, newly excavated tunnels, members of the Defias Brotherhood were hiding in the caves and shivering.

As Ella said, these people are not soldiers, they are just a group of workers who are forced to take up arms. They lack courage and training. In the face of large-scale encirclement and suppression, despair has climbed into their hearts, and now, listen

As the ground above shook, the sound of exploding shells that only appeared on the battlefield made many rebellious workers completely lose confidence.

This tunnel leads directly to the mines in Moon Creek Town. This place is called the "Death Mines" and has existed since the time of King Baratheon. It is said that Sir Lothar almost died in the Death Mines when he was young.

He lost his life in the mine. The underground environment is extremely complicated, full of forks and intersections. It looks weird, but in fact, until now, the mine is still in operation, and it now belongs to the Brotherhood of Masons.

"Those nobles are crazy, they actually use artillery to attack their own territory!"

Willy in black was running in the mine. He soon came to the depths of the mine. The leaders of the brotherhood were gathered here. Willy was the last one to arrive, and after he pushed open the closed door

, I saw the boss and the key members gathered together. The atmosphere in the room was very silent and strange. At this moment of life and death for the brotherhood, these leaders seemed to have been possessed by something.

This scene made Willy couldn't help but shudder. He took a few steps forward, stood on tiptoe, and vaguely saw something that made the bosses silent. It was a wooden box placed on the table, with luxurious black inside.

The velvet set off some colorful things, and on the chair where everyone was watching, a mysterious dwarf with a bright red hood held a golden bottle in his hand and was explaining something to others arrogantly.

"You don't need to worry about failure at all. The 100 mercenaries of the Dark Blade Consortium are enough to block the entrance to the mine. With them, the infantry can't rush in at all. And in my opinion, what you leaders need to do the most is

, it inspires the inner courage of the members!”

Ella chuckled, her strange eyes scanning the people with different expressions in front of her:

"I know what you are thinking. You will say, ah, we are just workers, we can't defeat those soldiers, yes, but this is not a reason for you to stop fighting and tremble... If all you lack is strength, then

We will undoubtedly help you, but if you don’t even have the courage to give it a try, then we really have no choice except the last way.”

"What I want to know more is, you, mysterious guys, how are you going to help us?"

Van Cleef, wearing black leather armor, gritted his teeth and said:

"Our town is falling, but you force our workers to smelt minerals for you and make those weird armors and weapons. What can a mere 100 mercenaries do?"

"The knights commanded by Knight Jor-El can easily kill all of you! If it weren't for their hard work, this damn place would have fallen two days ago, and you, I didn't even see you there.

What can you do for your hometown in this battle to defend your hometown?"

Ella retorted sarcastically, and then tossed the golden vial in her hand up and down.

"This! This is the last bit of assistance from His Great Majesty, Mr. Van Cleef. In the new system in the future, if you and your brothers want to get ahead, you must show your worth. Things without value will be ignored by us.

Abandon it mercilessly. If you still want more support, rely on your own strength to defend this town, and then complete the armor and weapons we need in the shortest possible time!"

The vampire snorted:

"Let us see the benefits of helping you. As for this, the official name of this thing is a bit embarrassing. The producer calls it "Autumn's Coward Savior". Don't ask why it is called this name. You don't need to know. You have to

All you have to do is drink it..."

The dwarf's eyes swept around the eyes of everyone in front of him, and finally threw the golden potion in his hand to the architect Alex who was hiding aside, and then threw the black potion to Van Cleef and Hei Yi.

Willie, she jumped from the chair to the table with light steps, and threw a bottle of green potion to each of the remaining veterans.

Seeing the hesitant expressions of these people, Ella stood on the table, folded her arms, and said with a dissatisfied look on her face:

"You have no idea how precious the thing in your hands is. It is a potion prepared from the "Blood of Demigods". In the Lordaeron region, a bottle of such potion costs at least 4,000 gold coins. This is not poison.

And if I want to kill you, I don’t need to use this troublesome method..."

The dwarf lifted his hood, and his blood-red eyes made some veterans subconsciously draw their weapons.

"Drink, drink, this is your destiny, leaders of Defias."

Ella said in a bewitching voice:

"A gift from the Dark Empire. After drinking it, you will join this system gloriously. The blood of demigods flowing in your bodies will become a bond of mutual trust and the basis for the empire to accept you...

Believe me, it's a gift, it's a..."

"clang"

Just when Ella was selling the words she learned from Tyrion, the sound of a bottle falling caused everyone to turn around, and then they saw the innocent-looking little Vanessa, and her

The empty bottle at your feet.

Under the gaze of everyone, the little girl frowned, pursed her lips, then raised her head and said to her father:

"Well, it tastes a bit weird, a bit like coconut milk mixed with bread flour...burp"

At the end of the sentence, little Vanessa hiccupped, and the next moment, under the gaze of everyone, darkness that was almost visible to the naked eye gathered around the little girl, like a dark curtain, covering Vanessa completely

Everyone was wrapped up, and in full view of everyone, little Vanessa was like a seasoned assassin, quietly entering a state of stealth and hiding.

People could still hear her happy laughter, and she seemed to regard this as a game. After a few seconds, due to some unskilled reasons, little Vanessa's stealth was released, and at this time, she had quietly

He walked to Van Cleef's side silently.

"It's so fun, Dad, this is so fun!"

Vanessa grabbed Van Cleef's hand, and the afterglow of the shadow danced on her body. As she spoke, she pursed her lips and turned her eyes to the medicine bottle on the table, wanting to reach out for the golden potion.

As a result, Ella stopped him.

The dwarf vampire patted Vanessa's little head with a playful expression and said to the others:

"Did you see it? You adults are not as brave as a child... The blood of Seth has strengthened Vanessa's senses, allowing her to embrace the shadow. I have already said, this... this is

A blessing from His Majesty!"

As she spoke, Ella put the dark red hood over her head again. She jumped off the table, took Vanessa's hand, and walked out of the door without looking back:

"Drink, drink, this is your destined fate... When giving it to other members, remember to dilute the potion with water, otherwise it won't be enough for you."

"Click"

After a few minutes of silence, when another round of artillery fire from the imperial soldiers sounded on the land, Van Cleef's throat twitched. He glanced at the people around him, then raised his head and drank the black potion in his hand.

All.

Standing behind Van Cleef, Willy in black also gritted his teeth and drank up the potion, followed by veteran Hank. Unlike the black potion that Van Cleef drank, the potion in Hank's hand was green, and after drinking it,

Bloodshot eyes appeared in Hank's eyes. Under the gaze of everyone, the bones in Hank's body seemed to be reorganized, making a clicking sound.

And the veteran was also in pain. He curled up and clenched his fists. Every muscle in his body was beating. It was obvious that this process was filled with unbearable pain. After more than ten seconds, Hank let out a cry.

He roared and punched the stone wall next to him.

"Bang"

Amidst the debris flying, a huge fist mark appeared on the wall. Hank straightened up. The veteran was a head taller than before. The originally fitted leather armor on his body was also full of muscles, and his arms were full of muscles.

His fists were abnormally thick, and there were tiny bone spurs on his fists, making him look like a furious beast.

"Hmm"

Hank twisted his neck and made a clicking sound. He looked at the others with bloodshot eyes and a sinister smile appeared on the corner of his mouth:

"I'm fine, don't worry about me, brothers...I'm full of power now, let's go kill a few people!"

"Oh! Look at me!"

Alex, the architect who drank the golden potion, also shouted. A golden light rippled in his palm, much like the grace of the Holy Light, but more violent, hotter and more aggressive than the Holy Light.

The blood from the Sunfire demigod Rukhmar aroused the affinity for magic in his blood. Alex recalled the spell-casting movements of the priests in Stormwind City. He imitated those priests and raised his hands, a ball of golden

, a very unstable flame-like light fell crookedly on Hank, healing the cracked wounds on the veteran's body, but also giving him a slight pain like being burned by flames.

"I'm a priest, everyone!"

Alex raised his hand happily, and the uncontrollable golden flame quickly ignited the map in his hand. Alex panicked and wanted to put out the flame, but the next moment, he appeared silently.

Van Cleef, who was beside him, stretched out his hand to extinguish the flame. He put his hand on Alex's shoulder and whispered:

"But it's definitely not the Holy Light that gives you strength, my brother..."

Van Cleef looked at the others, as if waiting for their decision. After a while, everyone drank all the potions in their hands, and Van Cleef carried the box and handed it to Willy in Black. He said calmly

Voice said:

"Dilute the potions and distribute them to all the brothers. Now that someone has given us the power we need, it's time to show the nobles how we fight."

"This is not a rebellion, brothers! Everything we are about to do is just to save our hometown in our own way."
