Chapter 290: The Western Wilderness

The Western Wilderness, once the granary of the kingdom of Azeroth, a place that once made farmers and herdsmen proud. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info it has a pleasant climate as warm as the Elwyn Forest, but this poor place has been attacked by orcs, and then before it can recover its vitality, it falls into the hands of the 'Brotherhood of Defia', who hate Stormwind.

The deserted and bare land was no longer able to hold back the winds from the sea and the twilight forest, and as its name suggested, it was now a wilderness full of hungry people and thieves with a wind mixed with yellow sand all day long.

Sentinel Ridge, Stormwind's last remaining force here, is home to nearly 1,000 soldiers who are trying to wipe out the 'Brotherhood of Defia'. But the soldiers here are frustrated and tormented because their work is treacherous, and Stormwind claims that they have no extra resources to provide, so they accept anyone, any kind of assistance. They call themselves the People's Army of the Wild West, and they work hard to protect the farmers of the Wild West, but the remoteness of the farms that spread throughout the land makes their job even harder, and not only do they have to deal with the members of the 'Brotherhood of Defia' who keep attacking them, but the wilderness is also full of disgusting gnolls and fishmen!

"We need unrusted weapons, food, and clean, unpoisoned water!" the soldier in tattered armor struggled to keep his emotions in check, and he was overwhelmed by the recent refugees.

"We don't have assistance, Halvin. "Grian Stallman, a gray-haired middle-aged veteran, has left endless marks on his face, and the wrinkles tell that he is no longer the junior officer of the Knights of the Silver Hand.

When he returned to his hometown from Lordaeron due to old age, an organization of thieves of unknown origin emerged, colluding with goblins, gnolls, and kobolds to rob merchants, steal national gold mines, seize farms, and even assassinate a mayor to occupy the town of Mooncreek, once the trading center of the Wild West, ----. As for Stormwind, they didn't send a single soldier to support this place, and the elite troops they stationed in the Westspring Fortress didn't move. People began to despair, and more and more people began to join the bandit group called the 'Brotherhood of Defia', and the old and infirm had to flee from the place. Grian Stallman stepped up and assembled a guard of local farmers, retired veterans, and people who came to their aid on their own behalf, with unimaginable perseverance and speed. He named his army the 'People's Army of the Western Wilderness', and he began to train and guide them with the military knowledge he had learned in the Knights of the Silver Hand, and he successfully led the 'People's Army' to defend the last stronghold, Sentinel Ridge, and caused the 'Brotherhood of Defia' a lot of trouble.

"Sometimes, those bastards are right, the nobles of Stormwind are all bitches!" Halvin foamed.

"I'm a nobleman, too, Halvin. Stallman stopped at his hand wiping his weapon. "Although I don't have a fief. ”

"You're not like them!" explained Harvin.

"I've seen countless nobles who hold fast to glory, and I've seen nobles who are more like mongrels than orcs. Stallman continued to wipe his sword, the weapon he had used in the Silver Hand, the years had been merciless, but it had left no trace, it had been well maintained by its owner. "But it doesn't matter to us at all, don't hope for others, Harvin, we can only rely on ourselves now!" Stallman paused. "And maybe your brother. ”

"But what about the food? There have been more refugees lately!" said Harvin, his face wrinkled. "And weapons, many of our weapons can no longer be used, if we insist that soldiers use those rusty weapons to fight, we are asking them to kill themselves!"

"Let them clear the land, plant some potatoes, right around Sentinel Ridge, and we should be able to survive next year with a little food savings. As for the weapon-----" Stallman waved his long sword. "Organize a small team, and we'll go to the 'Brotherhood of Defia' to ask for some metal, and by the way, some food. ”

"You're going to raid the Jangorod Mines again?" said Halvin's eyes widened in surprise. "We just attacked there last year!

"Trust me, they won't. Stallman smiled dismissively. "Those crumbs with candles on their heads aren't that smart, and they're far from Mooncreek, where there aren't many of the Brotherhood of Defia, and that's our best target. Or---- is there anything better you can do?"

"Well, how many people are needed?" Harvin wouldn't be so worried if he had a way!

"200 people, plus some wagons and civilians carrying things. Departing in the evening, we will be able to have breakfast at noon tomorrow. "Stallman has done this job more than once, and he is even very familiar with it.

"I'll arrange it. Harvin turned and walked out of the watchtower.

"Aid ----," Stallman muttered as he looked at Halvin's back, shook his head, and continued to wipe his armor and weapon.

Stormwind, the Dwarven Quarter. The majestic city of Stormwind is not as glamorous as it seems, and there have always been rumors in the city that the Brotherhood of Defia and some unknown forces have infiltrated the city, and the residents are willing to believe these rumors, because in recent years, the number of burglars and various crimes in the city has suddenly increased.

The dwarven quarters, on the other hand, are the safest of all the city, because thieves would rather steal penniless peasants than deal with strange dwarf machines and 'grumpy' dwarves!

Today, the thieves don't even come here, and they even disappear into other towns, because their king, His Majesty Varian, has left the fortress of Stormwind and visited the dwarven quarter for some important event, and the royal guards to keep the king safe are all over the place.

"Your Majesty!" a guard trotted out of the subway entrance. "Ten minutes to go!"

"Ready!" the king commanded, turning to him, and behind him stood a guard of honor. "Don't be rude! We're going to meet three 'kings'!" Stormwind hasn't had three kings at the same time since it was rebuilt! )
