Van Cleef had been through many battles in his life, and by the time he put down the stonemason's hammer and picked up the sword, he had lost his life.

He had fought for the fooled and murdered stonemasons of the Brotherhood of Stonemasons, who had rebuilt Stormwind for the royal family of Wryon after the First Orc War, without getting paid for himself, not a penny!

The nobles fooled them, mocked them, banished them, and eventually killed them as they marched, and Stormwind did not allow this scandal to be revealed, and Van Cleef escaped the massacre, and then he went from being the leader of the Brotherhood of Masons to the leader of the Brotherhood of Defia, from stonemasons to thieves, from commoners to Avengers.

Van Cleef didn't think it was hard to kill, and although he was better at carving stone, flesh was much easier to deal with than stone, wasn't it?

From an Avenger's point of view, Van Cleef was definitely a success, under the ravages of the Brotherhood of Defia, the granary of Stormwind West Wilderness was completely cut off from the state, almost turned into Van Cleef's personal domain, and most importantly, with the help of a certain big man in the dark, Van Cleef did a feat that many people failed to do.

He set off a riot, stormed Stormwind, and even killed the king's queen.

Although Van Cleef knew that he could not do anything to the good queen, but the queen died, died in the riot he started, Van Cleef knew that he had been fooled, he was just a stonemason who wanted revenge, he only wanted to avenge those dead brothers, but at that time, he knew that he was involved in a terrible conspiracy, and he became a knife against Wryon.

From joining voluntarily to being involuntarily, from being divided to being defeated, after King Varian returned to Stormwind, the Brotherhood of Defia, which dominated the Wild West, fell apart in less than 1 year, and Van Cleef was captured, but not executed.

Varian knew that his queen had not died at the hands of this good stonemason and not-so-good rebel, but the fact that Van Cleef had rioted was undeniable, so he fought in the War of the Dead, and was sent here again, about to be sent to another world.

They call it exile... But Van Cleef doesn't care what's behind that door, he doesn't care... He wanted to live, to come back alive from Draenor to see his daughter, and after the Brotherhood fell apart, Van Cleeff had only his daughter, who was fostered on a farm in the Wild West, and Varian had promised him that he would not trouble Vanessa on the condition that he stay with Draenor for 5 years.

It's only been 5 years...

However, these memories of the past had long been forgotten by the Assassins, as had they been in the slums outside of Fort Glory, wearing a black cloak embroidered with an "AF" mark and a blood-stained dagger, the emblem of the Defia Warband.

After seeing this sign, the scum in the slums, the three hands of all races, automatically filtered Van Cleef out of the target.

There are nearly 15 recruits of scum, villains, and prisoners of various countries scattered throughout the Hellfire Peninsula, 10 of whom live in Fort Glory, and only those who have participated in 3 battles against demons and managed to survive are eligible to form their own warband. You must know that mortals are so weak and powerless when fighting against demons, General Rosendon did not deceive Van Cleef, in the dead world of Draenor, the mortality rate of recruits participating in the war is really close to 100%.

Normally, out of 1,000 recruits, less than 100 may survive, and from this point of view, those who can survive 3 battles are definitely the best of these scumbags.

Of course, compared to the front line against the demon invasion, Shadowmoon Valley, Void Storm, Shattrath City, and Blade Mountain, the Hellfire Peninsula is undoubtedly a "novice area", and the demon wars here are not as frequent as we think, otherwise it would be impossible to stay 15 people.

The Defia Warband is a small warband formed by these lucky people, with only 15 members, all of whom are the backbone of the Defia Brotherhood, Eva did not deceive Van Cleef, after they were sent to Fort Glory along with a new batch of recruits, the old brothers at the beginning came up as soon as possible, and absorbed Van Cleef into the warband as a reserve, because Van Cleef had already fought once on the front line of the Dark Gate, so he only needed to go through 2 more battles before he could really join the warband.

As a member of the warband, Van Cleef is already eligible to live in the inner city of Fort Glory, but he entered the most chaotic slums today, not to play, Eva said to give him a chance, but in fact he only gave a message, for this, Van Cleef gambled on his own future and that of his brothers.

However, overall, the Defia Warband is earned, because the Bloodfang Warband active in the Void Storm is one of the 7 most powerful warbands in the Draenor Shattered World, known for its wild battles in the Shattered World, even if it ranks 7th in the end, it is still not comparable to a rookie like Defia, so as long as Van Cleef can abandon his indifferent self-esteem, this is actually a win-win situation.

Van Cleef walked through the slums, his destination was in the deepest part of the slums, and along the way, even the great thieves who had been a province of cholera and the entire Stormwind Kingdom were a little shocked by the situation in Fort Glory.

The ruler of the city, said to be the Demon Hunter Master from Illidare and the Death Lord from the Night's Watch Legion, these two people are mysterious and almost never appear in front of everyone, but every time they appear, it must be a real big event, such as a month ago, an evil orc army betrayed the Hellfire Fortress and threw itself on the side of the demons, the Death Lord personally led the Night's Watch army to fight with it for 1 day, and returned to Glory with the betrayer's head, that battle almost cost the Glory Castle warband a fifth of the loss, but the result was gratifying.

This fortress, which was originally established by General Danas Torbain, one of the five heroes of the Outlands of the year, has now been completely urbanized, and the original fortress area is used as an inner city, for large and small wargroup members to live, about 6,000 people, they are the top level of the Glory Castle, directly under the management of the city lord, just like special forces, you need to go to various places to perform various tasks, at least 1 time per month, at most 3 times, and there are additional bounties for each mission!

The various enjoyment and living conditions of the members of the warband were top-notch, and Van Cleef's eldest brother, 38-year-old Willy, even raised three slave girls, and the reception they gave Van Cleeff was so luxurious that it stunned the Assassin leader, which was much more comfortable than the minor nobles of Stormwind.

The outer city is a ring that surrounds the inner city, inhabited by veterans who have participated in the battle against demons, but have not yet been able to qualify for the war group, the number of these people is about 4, they belong to the middle level of the city, and the enjoyment is naturally not as good as the members of the war group, but it is definitely much better than the previous precarious days, it is not an exaggeration to drink and meat, this group of people's "self-motivation" is the strongest, and they will even take the initiative to find demons to fight on the Hellfire Peninsula.

Finally, there are the outermost slums and the large barracks, where the necropolis of the Illidare's recruits and the Night's Watch are stationed, they are actually the main force against the demon invasion, and the most mysterious place, as for the slums, they are all real scum and cowards.

This sentence is not an exaggeration, nor is it a mockery, the recruits are originally criminals and villains in the whole of Azeroth, and they should not lack courage, in fact, if you really risk your life and go to the front line of the Dark Gate, which is 2 days away from Fort Glory, it will even take only a few days to survive 3 battles and become a real human master, but unfortunately, not everyone has the courage to risk their lives to fight for the future.

Moreover, this kind of cowardly guy actually occupies the mainstream, and more than half of the 10 people in the entire Glory Fort are cowered in the slums, receiving the lowest bread and drinking water to live, they have neither the courage to fight the demons, nor the intention of leaving the city to go alone, they are also trying to live.

But also just alive...

The conditions in the slums don't need to be expected to be very good, in fact, Van Cleef thinks that even the darkest cell in Stormwind City is ten thousand times better than this hellish place! At least there will be no prisoners defecating in the open, and there is still the most basic order there, and here, there is only chaos, real chaos!

It is said that on average, 4 out of 10 people here are thieves, or rather, everyone here is a potential thief.

The people walking on the road have yellow and thin faces and blank eyes, but when they look at those who are weaker than them, they will show a fierce light, despair oppresses in everyone's heart, I don't know when it will make their fragile heart collapse, and people live because of a heart, once the heart collapses, no one knows what they will do.

No one wants to be neighbors with madmen, but now in the slums of Fort Glory, there are more than 5 madmen living ... It's horrible.

"Bang"

Van Cleef was thinking about it, a shout sounded behind him, a weak troll holding bread and drinking water was knocked to the ground by two black iron dwarves, the bread in his hand was brutally snatched away, the troll still wanted to resist, but was beaten desperately by two grumpy dwarves, and after a few minutes, the dying troll swallowed his last breath.

Then a few emaciated goblins sprang out of the alley next to them, took everything that could be used from the troll's corpse, and threw the corpse in the street, the red blood intertwined with the filthy ground, and the attitude of the people around them turning a blind eye, and the weirdness that made people want to go crazy.

All this made Van Cleef, who had entered here from the world of civilization and the world of order, feel depressed, he looked up at the sky, there was no daylight here, the Hellfire Peninsula was a continent torn apart, there was only darkness here, the stars twinkled together, but it could not bring even the slightest hope, only despair.

Despair everywhere.

The leader of the thieves glanced back at the corpse, and several sneaky ogres approached and carried the corpse into the darkness.

What are they going to do?

Van Cleef hurriedly stopped thinking in his heart, he didn't dare to think about it... He didn't want to think about it.

He suddenly quickened his pace, he wanted to get out of here, get his errands done, leave immediately, go to stay in Uptown, and then five years later, go back to the Wild West to be a farmer, and watch his daughter Vanessa grow up happily... Can't die here!

You can't die in this hell of despair and chaos!

He was anxious about the information that Iva had told him before he left, in the deepest part of the slum, in the most panicked, dead silence, in the third row, in the seventh column, a small house with a small gate that could only allow one person to enter and exit, and the meaningless number 10086 was engraved on the outside of the door.

He looked left and right, took a deep breath, stepped forward, tapped three times, waited for three seconds, knocked twice, and finally, raised his fist and slammed it on the door.

Two minutes later, the closed door opened, and a deep voice rang out,

"Come in, sir, I've got everything you want, if you can afford it!"

After another ten minutes, a pale-faced Van Cleef came out of the room carrying a small black leather suitcase, straightened his clothes, and strode into the slum.

Destiny... Destiny is already in your own hands!

My daughter Vanessa, wait for me!

5 years... It only takes 5 years!
