2. Choice
Van Cleef had never been in such a situation in his first 35 years of life, the demons had invaded through the gates, but the three of their prisoners had been brought to the front line, surrounded by a group of resting veterans, and the knights who had escorted them had joined the battle, and a paladin in golden armor walked up to them quickly, and he didn't even look at Van Cleeff before swinging his sword and slashing down.
The scorching light bloomed in front of the thief leader's eyes, Van Cleef subconsciously closed his eyes, but the imaginary pain and death did not come, on the contrary, a crisp collision sound made him open his eyes, and he saw that his handcuffs and anklets had been cut off, and the soldier who followed the paladin gave him a black halberd, and then Van Cleef heard the paladin give the order.
"I'm Stormwind Knights Commander Coleman, listen! Newcomer, I don't care if you were a villain or a scumbag before, now, you have only one identity, that is, a soldier of Stormwind City! Remember, the first mission, stay here, and ensure the safety of the artillery position!"
The Caulman knight swung two more swords to cut through the confinement of Eva and Modoc beside Van Cleef, they also got the weapon, and after saying the order, the grand knight impatiently punched the eyes of Modoc, knocking the bastard nobleman to the ground,
"Listen, bastard, I've seen a lot of what you're thinking, but think about your little life, the 10 kilometers around the direction of the Dark Gate are filled with the most elite rangers of the entire Azeroth tribe, and of course, the demons who have escaped, if you are confident that you can escape, we will definitely not stop you, but if you want to start your life again..."
"Then your five-year service period will start now!"
After saying that, Coleman led the guards and rushed towards the battlefield where the demons were fighting in the distance, just like he said, he didn't care about the life or death of these 3 rookies, Azeroth lacked everything, that is, there was no shortage of villains, this kind of scum was everywhere, for the Grand Knight, the order from the upper echelons to send the villains to the demon battlefield of Draenor was simply a perfect order.
"Hey guys!"
Modoc rubbed his face and got up from the ground, he threw the sword and shield in his hand on the ground, and whispered to Eva, who was beginning to familiarize himself with the feel of the weapon, and Van Cleef, who was observing left and right, "Don't pay attention to the soldier's bewitchment, listen to me, let's escape! As long as I can escape from the cursed land, I will have a way to change our new identity and let the five years of service die! Lao Tzu will not be any cannon fodder." ”
"Fuck off! I'll only say it once!"
Iva Bloodfang glanced mockingly at the enthusiastic Modoc, he didn't mean to talk at all, the commander of the Bloodfang Werewolf was not captured by the Seventh Legion, Dick's follower, the Vakyrie Valkyrie Sivana personally hunted in the Silver Pine Forest for 4 days before he captured this cunning werewolf and showed Iva what a truly powerful force is.
What he saw and heard in Ulduar made Iva not even think of fighting Dick, not to mention that the blood-toothed werewolves had completely failed in Gilneys, and a large number of werewolves were sent to the battlefield of Draenor, and Iva even felt that the world full of war was more suitable for him as a loser than Azeroth.
And what is a Modoc?
Eva tore him apart with a single claw, and the guy looked like a complete idiot.
"I have to go to Draenor... My daughter is waiting for me to come home, as a dignified father. ”
Van Cleef clenched the halberd in his hand, he also had no interest in Modoc's bad ideas, and many members of the Brotherhood of Defia had been sent to the world of Draenor, and it would be nice to see them there.
These words made Eva glance at Van Cleef in surprise, Van Cleef was obviously more like a good collaborator than the slick-headed Modoc.
"The devil is coming!
The commander of the artillery position behind him shouted, and the next moment, rows of sturdy orc warriors rushed out of the rear positions with shields in hand, and the elven rangers and magicians had already begun to chant magic, and in less than a few seconds, the ice storm that fell from the sky and the flames that poured out from the ground completely shredded the first wave of demon hounds that rushed towards the artillery position.
But those disgusting creatures rolled in the direction of the position like a tidal wave, as if they didn't know what to fear.
The veterans around the three of them had lined up and were ready to meet the impact, the nearest demon hound was less than 100 meters away, Van Cleef could even see those flaming disgusting looks and chilling teeth, he clenched the halberd, he didn't think that a mortal like him could deal with such an opponent, it was much more difficult to deal with than those sluggish undead!
But the next moment, Eva's hoarse voice sounded in Van Cleve's ears,
"Follow me!
"What?"
Modoc looked at Iva like a madman, and when he saw the skin on the tall Gilneth man begin to twist, he immediately remembered the legend of the werewolf, and sprang out of the battle line with his hands and feet.
"Damn! You're a werewolf! Bastard, stay away from me, you'll spread the plague!"
"Stupid trash!"
Completely transformed into a 3-meter-tall werewolf, Eva moved his palm wrapped in gray mane, ten dagger-like blades bounced out of his claws, he tilted his head, looked at Van Cleef, who was also shocked and took two steps back, and said with a sarcastic smile,
"What's the matter, you're scared too?"
Afraid? Of course afraid!
Although werewolves are rampant in Gilneth, for Van Cleef, who was born in the south of the continent, this is simply an evil creature in mythology, but thinking of what Iva just said, staring at Ivana's head that has completely turned into a wolf's head, the leader of thieves gritted his teeth,
"I'm going to go back to my daughter alive! Don't be afraid!"
His body was obviously trembling, but in his eyes it seemed like a fire was burning, Iva was stunned, he thought of those soldiers on the battlefield of Gilness 2 months ago... That's what they look at.
A firm look called protection and perseverance.
"Good!"
Iva stuck out her bright red tongue and licked her sharp teeth, "Then follow me!"
"The lady said that 10,000 years ago, werewolves fought off demons head-on... I'm going to give it a try today!"
The bloodtooth werewolf opened his arms, his eyes shining with madness and wildness, "Is it the devil who is more ferocious, or my wildness is more terrifying!"
The next moment, the gray-maned werewolf sprang out, like a gray shadow, ten blood-red paw prints flashed in the air, and the body of the three demon hounds that pounced on him was cut into a dozen pieces in the air, fishy, scorching, and sprinkled with corrosive blood on the ground, and the smell made the crazy blood flowing in Iva agitated.
He pounced forward with both claws, hugged the thick thighs of the demon guard who was following behind the demon hound, and then tore his arms hard and tore left and right.
"Shhhh
The left leg of the demon guard, which was regarded as the messenger of death by mortals, was torn off from its body, and the demon guard in green armor roared in pain, but before the twin knives in its hand could be raised, a figure jumped out of its shadow, and the sharp black halberd stabbed into its heart from behind.
This is just a lowly-level demon guard, its skin is far less hard than that of a high-level demon, and Van Cleef didn't come to war of the dead for nothing, in addition to being a good stonemason and a bad rebel, he is also a good assassin, and although his rank is not high, he is not easy to deal with.
"Whew!"
Eva didn't care that Van Cleef had robbed him of his prey, his already bloodshot eyes were full of excitement and wildness, and the next moment, his recurved legs were forced, and the whole person jumped into the air and pounced on the succubus holding the long whip at the other end, and before the demon could react, he was torn in the chest by the werewolf and scratched his heart, he was like a gray storm, and everywhere he went, there was a bloody storm, to be honest, Eva began to like it here.
It's full of prey, and it's a great hunting ground!
Van Cleef followed behind Iva as he continued to use stealth and assassination methods, and the halberd that did not fit in his hand was replaced by two daggers used by demons, and the two people cooperated, one charged and the other assassinated, and the efficiency suddenly increased several times.
And this kind of fighting also boosted the fighting spirit of those veterans, and in less than 10 minutes, the demons who attacked the artillery positions were swept away.
Of course, this is not to say that the soldiers guarding here are very strong, in fact, they are only facing the lowest level of demons, and the defenders on the side of the Dark Gate are not vegetarians, and the number of demons that can be smuggled over is so many, otherwise it would be impossible to station only 6,000 soldiers here.
Not long after, the 4 elite demon guards who commanded this invasion were killed by the Grand Knight of Cauleman and the other commanders, and the demon's offensive immediately collapsed, and the first battle between Van Cleeff and Eva was over, which can be called a head and no end, but due to the interference of this invasion, they were supposed to be sent through the Dark Gate, and they could only be delayed until tomorrow.
After the battle, Van Cleef was rewarded by Cowman for his performance, which was good for the recruits, so he was given a fairly sturdy set of old leather armor and an Assassin weapon, but after the battle with the demons, the stonemason had a new plan.
He found Eva in a tavern, where werewolves were sitting in the corner in human form and drinking, as Coleman had said, and the soldiers here didn't worry about the recruits escaping, so even if Eva and Van Cleeff were wandering the streets.
"Bang"
A glass of fine ale was delivered to Eva, and Van Cleef sat down across from the werewolf, the blood-toothed werewolf ignored Van Cleeff at all, he picked up the glass and drank the ale dry, then touched his mouth, and looked at the silent assassin with gray eyes,
"What do you want to exchange for this wine? Say in advance, my friendship is precious, and a glass of wine is not enough!"
"Modoc said that someone infected with the werewolf plague will also become a werewolf, but will completely lose their minds, right?"
Van Cleve asked cautiously, and Eva grinned,
"That's right, but as long as you can control the wolf in you, you won't lose your mind, on the contrary, if you can tame him, you will become like me, but it's hard, once your will breaks, you will lose yourself and become a beast completely. ”
"But I see you can switch between werewolves and humans, can werewolves do it?"
Van Cleve asked again, and Eva shrugged and leaned back in his chair, "Of course... No, Madame, there's a potion that can do that, but it's a long-term thing, and only Gilneth has it, and the new King Liam uses it as a strategic item, and it's hard to get hold of unless you get their friendship or pledge your loyalty. I... I am in a special case. ”
After saying this, Eva stopped talking, he narrowed his eyes and looked at the silent Van Cleef in front of him, he knew what this guy wanted to do, during his time in Gilneys, he had seen a lot of this kind of thing, many civilians who believed in the wolf worship religion, they craved power, but they did not have the ability to harness power, in Eva's opinion, Van Cleef also belonged to such a guy.
However, with those fools who only want power, but don't know what to do with power, the man in front of him is obviously the strong-willed kind, and a thought took shape in Eva's mind, he licked his lips, waiting for Van Cleef's answer.
Two minutes later, Van Cleef reached out and asked for two glasses of ale, drank his share in one gulp, then unbuttoned the shirt on his left arm and handed it to Eva.
"Bite me!"
"You mean, you want to be a werewolf? You want to be a monster like me?"
Eva looked playfully at Van Cleef, who gritted his teeth and made a decision, and he shrugged his shoulders, "But why should I do this? Do you know how many people in Gilneth are eager to get the "seed" of high-level werewolves, I said it, Van Cleaf, my friendship is expensive!"
Van Cleef withdrew his arm, his body leaned forward, at this moment, in those determined eyes, Eva saw a touch of madness hidden deep in it, obviously, this guy in front of him is a storyteller, he is not as ordinary as he looks, but the werewolf still did not waver, he raised his glass, smiled and looked at Van Cleef, he was waiting for Van Cleef to make an offer.
"I have nothing left. ”
Van Cleef suppressed a certain emotion and whispered, "My power has been destroyed, my brother has been sent to Draenor, but I still have a daughter... I said that I would go back to see her alive, but after seeing the battle just now, as the general at Fort Watch said, I will not survive to the end... Ivar, I need strength! I need your might!"
"Give me this kind of power, you can take everything I have left! Whether it's soul or loyalty, I just need me to survive 5 years, go back to see my daughter with dignity, and watch her grow up happily, I only have this one request!"
"Good!"
Eva was silent for a moment, then nodded, he stretched out a finger and shook it in front of Van Cleef, "I'm giving you this opportunity, but it's not gratuitous, listen, I'm going to join my Blood Fang Warband who is active in the southern part of the Hellfire Peninsula!"
Van Cleef was a little dazed when he heard this request,
"Hellfire Peninsula, where is it, and the Defia Warband, what is it?"
"Hehe... It's okay, you'll find out soon, remember, Van Cleef, I don't want your loyalty, I don't want your soul, but if you dare to deceive me... You know the result!"
