In line with the principle that thieves do not go empty, Vanessa drove a carriage containing some grain, eggs, and raw meat, some of which she bought from goblins, and some of which were recently caught by Brotherhood hunters.

The sun was abundant in the Western Wilderness, and she made her way north from the hidden tunnel on the other side of Mooncreek Town, camping in the wilderness for two nights, and on the afternoon of the third day, she leisurely drove her carriage to the human town called Sentinel Ridge, the current worst enemy of the Defia Brotherhood, the Western Wilderness militia.

It was originally a half-abandoned watchtower, and it was also the ancestor of the Stormwind Kingdom, Barathern. Founded to defend against the gnoll armies, the great king had long since turned to dust, and the watchtowers he had built were slowly deserted, and now with the return of the old knights from the northern battlefields and the establishment of militias, a large number of civilians have gathered here to seek refuge.

Today, the main building of the guard tower has been expanded by half, and many civilians are enveloped in defenses.

Vanessa surveyed the defenses. On the front, two ballistae are arranged in the direction of Yuexi Town in the south, which look a bit old, far inferior to the goblin's steam technology, but this is the weapon of humans in this era.

At the top of the watchtower at Sentinel Ridge, there are also large barrels that appear to contain fire oil, which should be a defense set up by the other party to prevent thieves from climbing.

Two ballistas, a few barrels of oil, this is the defense of the entire Sentinel Ridge, there is only one half-built wall, the wall is distributed in a half-moon shape, barely protecting most of the area directly south of Sentinel Ridge, and the north side is not protected at all.

Hehe, Vanessa laughed, this is going to war? Even kobolds know how to take a detour, not to mention what is the use of these three-meter-high walls? Her coin-operated group striker can be trampled on by a random slurry ball.

It's completely a battle at the village chief level, which is why the Storm Kingdom doesn't care, it's too simple, and if they fight, they won't be able to fight.

It's a pity that I disappointed you, I'm here to win the hearts and minds of the people.

Raising a middle finger at the imaginary enemy, she drove the carriage slowly into Sentinel Ridge.

Vanessa, who was in the original plane, could stay under the nose of the old knight for four years, and she didn't think that she would be discovered if she came over to spy on her once now.

It can only be said that Dafan's protection of his daughter is really in place, and intelligence agencies like MI7 don't know about her existence, and it's even more impossible for the dogmatic old knight to know.

"What do you do? Are you a businessman? The guard at the watchtower was curious about her visit, and after Vanessa did not deny that she was a merchant, he hurriedly shouted at the top of his voice.

"The merchant is coming! The merchant is coming! ”

What do you mean? Vanessa was taken aback, could it be that the merchants of the world of Azeroth are synonymous with bandits? Such a violent reaction was a bit unexpected for her.

The cries of the soldiers echoed through the vast fields, and as Vanessa pondered whether she should use her dagger to fight her way out, a large group of civilians rushed out of their humble tents.

They were either holding rice bowls or carrying cloth bags, all with yellow faces and thin muscles, pulling women and children, and running out in a hurry.

"Please don't panic, you really haven't seen a merchant for a long time, we are here to help you maintain order, please trust our honor, we will not do anything against the law." The other guard seemed to see Vanessa's face change drastically, thinking that the young girl was frightened by the posture of the civilians, and hurriedly explained, not only did he explain, but also armed with a spear, forcing back a few civilians who rushed closely.

"Please, give us something to eat, the child hasn't eaten in two days."

"This kind young lady, I will drive the carriage, please take me, I only eat one meal a day."

"Holy light is above, I only need to eat one bite, just one bite!"

It didn't take long for more than seventy civilians to gather in front of the main gate of Sentinel Ridge, and more people were running in the distance.

Vanessa finally determined one thing, she was not exposed, but the identity of the businessman was too sensitive at this time and place, and the current situation was a bit inconsistent with her original intention of low-key observation, which had to be said to be a mistake.

The idea of miscalculation was quickly replaced by the miserable situation of the hungry people, who had never seen the hungry people in an era of peace, and came to Azeroth with a group of thieves, who could not starve to death in any environment, and who had never had an intuitive feeling for the civilians of the Western Wilderness.

I have to say that the scene in front of her gave her a great impact.

There were very few children and old people at the scene, and the people who could rush in front of her were basically young adults, even these young people were all yellow and thin, and several of them were trembling when they walked.

At this time, she didn't want to be a king, but to help these poor people, Da Fan was wrong, he was wrong, he left only trauma everywhere for the western wilderness, and the Vanessa of her predecessor was also wrong, she burned the last hope of these civilians.

These civilians don't care about any alliances and tribes, they don't care about any natural disasters, what panda people, they just want to live, but unfortunately even this wish is so ethereal, the eyes of the heroes of all ethnic groups will only focus on those big things, what is the hunger problem of the common people, they have always turned a blind eye, they are busy saving the world, how can they have time to worry about these little things?

Thinking about picking grass and beating rabbits and making another amount of money, she counted the food she carried, and then discussed with the guards.

"I don't have a lot of food with me, can you gather the elderly and children first, and give them priority food?"

The guards hurriedly agreed, and opened their throats to tell the civilians to line up, giving priority to the elderly and children with some food.

They were quite experienced, and after Vanessa took out some tiger meat and velociraptor meat from the Valley of Thorns, she didn't ask what kind of meat it was, but directly took five large iron pots, put firewood on the stove and began to boil water and boil meat.

There are no condiments, no condiments, just boiled, the hot meat is distributed to the children, and many old people voluntarily give up the food to keep it for the young.

There is a good side, and there is also a not-so-harmonious side, and a few adults pretend to be the parents of their children and want to snatch them from them.

With a bang, the old flintlock musket knocked down a mature strong man, Vanessa asked the goblin to make a pistol for herself, and just in time for her debut today, she blew off the smoke from the muzzle of the gun and put on a peerless master's appearance, shocking a group of hungry people who were ready to take risks.

The guards were not surprised, it was strange that a young girl was haunting this barren land, with no weapons on her.

It's just that this kind of short model, a hand-held musket they haven't seen before, is it a new product from the dwarves and gnomes?
