Chapter 4: The Bloody Death

"Xiu Xiu~"

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

"Great! This is the best story I've ever heard!"

"Praise the Scarlet Crusades!"

"To our Ash Bringer, Master!"

"To Lordanron!"

The story of Jack is quickly finished, and it is like a classic episode of "the old hero was plotted by a conspiracy and not only lost control of the army, but was also slandered as a traitor, and then the old hero who refused to accept his fate successfully fought his way out of the encirclement with his deep strength and the invincible of the holy sword, and finally made the conspiracy of a human traitor public, regained the power of the Scarlet Crusade and returned to the front line of the fight against the undead".

This main story, which is very much in line with the mainstream and people's hopes of the moment, was cheered most fervently by the drinkers, and by this time, the warm atmosphere in the tavern was at its climax, and the voices of applause, cheers, mutual salutes and toasts were most sincere in the actions of these uncultured rough men. It's just that no one cares that the "guest" in the corner table where the sloppy old man was still sitting is still there, and the "guest" who lacks due respect for such a wonderful story is still there, of course, under normal circumstances, those waiters will be the first to find the coins left by the guests at the wine table, but at this time, even those waiters are infected by this cheerful crowd, and they don't notice that the table is empty.

"Bang"

The discordant rude opening of the door interrupted the drinkers, who were cheering as if they had now successfully recovered their country, and all eyes subconsciously turned their eyes to see which unsightly bastard had done such a tasteless thing when he should have been immersed in a sea of joy the most.

Roger the Sailor didn't even think that even a rough man like himself would do it, but he saw that he pushed the door in a few knights wearing bright red and white uniforms, covered with shiny armor pieces as armor at the vital points of their bodies, and the most conspicuous thing about those knights was not the beautiful and fancy swords, nor the armor pieces that could be used as bright as bronze mirrors, but their coats, which were tattooed with red flame patterns on a white background and red edges.

This made everyone who wanted to open their mouths to scold each other tightly shut up, because even if they were illiterate and illiterate, they would never forget the coat of arms on this coat if they were killed, and it was the coat of the Scarlet Crusader! Even if the white background and red border were low-level paladins or even just ordinary soldiers, it did not prevent these simple people from feeling very excited when they saw the Scarlet Crusaders they were looking forward to day and night at such a close distance.

Almost everyone ignored the disdain and annoyance on the face of the young paladin, who looked like the heir to a great noble family, because they had seen too many of these adoring eyes in the human settlements along the way, even if someone in the army had evil thoughts and wanted to make a profit from these hillbillies, just say, "I need a sum of money to repair my armor, but my food has already repaired my weapons in the last battle......" There is a foolish fool who really sends the coin that smells of fish or earth to that person......

But now these paladins still have some integrity, and their family is not down enough to ask for money from those untouchables, so they haven't done anything to lose their nobility along the way.

The well-informed tavern owner quickly greeted him and asked with a smile, "How many knights, may I ask you ......?"

A blonde paladin led by him looked around at the drunkards who were densely gathered but kept a certain distance, frowned, and asked, "Are you the boss here?"

"Yes, contemptible exactly, is there anything I can do?"

The paladin didn't answer, but raised his chin to the left and right, and the four Scarlet Paladins behind him immediately strode forward to push through the crowd and go deep into the tavern, shouting, "Scarlet Crusaders are on business, everyone stay where I am!"

The rude collision and the sound of tables being overturned and food and drinks spilling all over the floor were followed not only petrified by the drinkers who were still praising the Ashbringer and his Scarlet Crusaders for their wisdom

It also caught the owner of this hotel a little off guard.

The name of the Scarlet Crusaders is very loud, but the people who live in Anaheim City have only heard all kinds of rumors about them, and they also know that some of the taxes they pay will be turned into food and transported to the Scarlet Crusaders who are still fighting in the East and West Plague Lands, and no matter how many people like them, they don't even know about it.

But as a tavern owner, and a tavern owner with an official background, and a veteran of intelligence gathering under Vanessa Van Cleef, the tavern owner was apparently not informed that the Scarlet Crusaders could carry out law enforcement activities in the city.

"Lord Knight, isn't this okay? We didn't get a notice from the City Guard, I ......"

"Smack!"

A resounding slap interrupted the boss's attempt to make sense.

The blonde young man shook his hand quietly, with a gloomy look, and scolded: "The Scarlet Crusaders are investigating the case, and it is not under the control of the country city guards like you who don't even dare to kill the undead, shut up honestly for me!"

I have to say that there are a few lives in my hands and the momentum that people who have really been on the battlefield naturally exude at this time, the feeling of oppression that if you can kill anyone at will when you are unhappy and when the paladin inadvertently puts the other hand on the seemingly beautiful hilt of the sword, these originally honest drinkers instantly extinguished the idea of complaining a few times for this boss who is usually quite generous to them.

Except for the rude collisions, no one in the tavern made any sound, and the familiar drinkers greeted each other with their eyes, which was considered to be a mutual ventilation.

No one noticed that the boss's hand hidden in the cuff crushed something, because the tavern was not big, and several paladins who went in to "investigate the case" quickly returned to the door, and a person who looked like a team leader whispered: "My lord, the target seems to have been here, but it has slipped through the back door, and we lost it." ”

After hearing this, the blonde-haired paladin took a deep breath and scolded angrily: "Waste! Quickly notify the other detachments to surround this area, and make sure you catch the target for me!"

After answering the promise, several paladins quickly poured out of the small tavern, but almost at the same time, before the people in the tavern could recover their emotions, the drinkers in the room heard a similar tense confrontation outside the door, which made them look at each other again

"Yo, isn't this Young Master Renault? I didn't expect you to learn to put down your body and disguise yourself to blend into the escort team, deceived the doorman, and came out of the station we arranged for no reason and privately to disturb the people and destroy the legitimate private property of the public and others. It was the voice of a young woman, and there was no respect for the Scarlet Crusaders in it, but mockery.

"Hmph, you're the woman that cowardly picked up from the Stormwind Kingdom, and I remember you. I am a high-ranking member of the Scarlet Crusade, the commander of the Stratholme Legion, Renaud Mograine! I advise you to be honest, I have come to hunt down the traitors of the human race, the prisoner of the murder of the High Lord Alessandros, woman, you and your people get out of the way!

After hearing such an earth-shattering conversation, the people in the tavern seemed to be unable to stay any longer, and they rushed out one after another, and their first sight was to see a few masked men in black restraining the few paladins who were still arrogant just now, and they were twisting their bodies very dissatisfied, trying to break free from the other party's control, but the other party's methods were very professional, which was a suppression that could not be broken by brute force.

And the blonde paladin who was the leader was almost pressed to his knees by the other party, but he still maintained the bearing of a nobleman, trying to impress the damn woman with his words.

This woman is Vanessa Van Cleef, there was originally some discord between Anaheim City and the Ash Messenger, but in principle, both sides have to fight against the undead Scourge, but I don't know if it was Alexandros or Da Sohan or the two of them went crazy together, since Adlan took the main force of the coalition to Kalimdor, he continued to infiltrate the forces of the Scarlet Crusaders in Anaheim City, which made Vanessa, who was secretly carrying out counter-infiltration, feel a lot

Pressure.

And then in the past few days, the infiltration of the Scarlet Crusaders is a little strong, and Vanessa has to come out of the headquarters of the Shadow Creed to lead the patrol and counteract those more and more rampant Scarlet spies, but when the patrol came to the vicinity of the port, they found that the props of their organization's secret early warning contact were activated, this kind of small props calling for reinforcements are a by-product of magic experiments conducted by the mages of Dalaran, and its coverage is not large, it is just the range of an Anaheim City, and you can receive a signal at any time when it is activated anywhere in the city。

Vanessa met with another team of members of the port organization and figured out what had happened, and she immediately ordered the "spies" to be brought under control of the "spies" who were disrupting the order and destroying the military and political prestige of Anaheim.

The Shadow Creed operatives have been capturing some Scarlet agents, but since both sides are friendly forces, they haven't used any lynching to extract confessions, so they haven't gotten any useful information other than putting the hapless ones in prison.

So this time, Vanessa originally thought that it was nothing more than catching some small fish, but what she didn't expect was that the person who came to make trouble this time was not only a little sensitive, but also the information that broke out from the mouth of this big young master surprised her even more! And through the previous interrogation, it was learned that these Scarlet Crusader spies were probably not known to the Ash Messenger, and it was either Da Sohan who made it or this young master with a worrying IQ. But why would they want to target Anaheim City? Or even ask Renault to make a trip himself? But these are minor problems now, because what Renault said just now managed to get her attention.

Vanessa repeated the question with a cold face, "You mean there are traitors in the Scarlet Crusaders, and they murdered the High Lord Alessandros?"

"Hmph, I'm not afraid to tell you, that traitor is my father's most trusted advisor, Farbanks, who plotted against my father with a despicable conspiracy! He did not die at the hands of the undead, but at the hands of his own people!"

As soon as Renault's words came out, everyone was in an uproar! No one would have thought that the invincible Ash Messenger Master who had killed the undead would actually die at the hands of his own people? And he was also his most trusted advisor? Holy Light, what is wrong with this world? Why is it so crazy?

Vanessa's eyes flickered, and instead of answering Renault's words directly, she turned her head to the person wrapped in a black cloak behind her and said, "Are you satisfied now......?

"Well, well done, Vanessa. The man in the black cloak stepped forward, glanced at Renault, who was being held down, and said, "Renault Mograini, the witness I found is exactly the opposite of what you just said, and I am very interested in it, so please tell me more about what happened in court...... Put all of these people in prison first. ”

"Hey, what are you? Leave me out! Do you know what you're doing? You're declaring war on the Scarlet Crusaders!"

The black-robed man lifted the cloak that covered his face, and with an expression of hatred that could not be made of steel, he said, "You do not have the right to declare war, Your Excellency, the high-ranking commander of the illegal organization of the Scarlet Crusade. As for me, I'm not talented, Hereditary Baron Lordaeron Anaheim, but I don't think you may know it yet, I am still the Supreme Commander of the Tirisfal Glade personally canonized by His Highness Kalia, General Lordaeron, according to the laws of your country, your father and you, and even Dasohan in Stratholme, have only one legal organization, and that is the Knights of the Silver Hand, not the Scarlet Crusade!"

The black-robed Edlan rose into the sky in Renault's stunned, and a bright pillar of light rose from the ground, and then as if it appeared out of thin air, golden pillars of light pierced through the dense dark clouds and fell behind Edlan, and a group of leaders of various forces who participated in the defense of Mount Hyjal came out of the pillar of light.

"Send someone to tell Dasohan to remove him from command of the Scarlet Crusaders in my name (Harmony), and order all the troops of the Scarlet Crusaders to return to their garrisons and prepare to accept the re-in......corporation of the Knights of the Silver Hand," Edlan glared at Renault, who was already frightened, and continued: "Tell them that if they do not comply, I have the right to declare war on this illegal organization, under the watchful eyes of His Majesty Terenus and Lord Uther!"

With that, Edlan stepped aside, and two heroic souls with the energy of holy light flowing up and down stepped forward, these two were the deceased former king and the former head of the Knights of the Silver Hand......
