Chapter 6: Take Control of the Brotherhood
Vanessa turned a deaf ear, endured the discomfort, and killed a thief again, imagining herself an artist, playing an ode to death, and she felt much more comfortable.
Johansen was still begging for her to spare his life, and the other two surviving thieves fell to their knees and shivered.
Vanessa turned into a shadow and appeared behind a thief who was secretly preparing to light a bomb, reaping another life, cutting off the bomb fuse before looking back at the two survivors.
"I'm loyal to the Van Cleef family!" Johansen, the old miner, cried out in tears, and another thief swore that he would never betray.
Never betraying is absolute nonsense, she doesn't believe it, but after thinking about it, there is no need to take these little bosses in one pot, even if you need to increase the rest of the professions in the Brotherhood, you still need to manage the thieves at hand.
She raised her hand to create a firework, and in a short time, the fish-man chef arrived on the island in a dreadnought with more than thirty sailors and thieves who were still loyal to the Van Cleeff family.
"Sort out the loot, let's go back." In addition to Sander's treasure, her so-called trophies naturally include this group of cannibalistic thieves, turning over corpses has always been a favorite thing for adventurers, but her hands have always been very dark, and the three wars in her previous life had caused countless public indignation, and she didn't move at all when she stood in place at this time, but asked the old miner to rummage through the corpse and select the materials that could be used.
"Yo? Your hands are very red......" As she said something confusing, she took a dagger and a shield from her hand.
The dagger used by Dafan before had been damaged in the battle, Vanessa only inherited a one-handed sword called the Cruel Barb, and the dagger she was currently using was just an ordinary tabula rasa weapon, and now she threw away the tabula rasa dagger, crossed the level of excellent, and directly replaced it with a sophisticated weapon.
The new dagger is called Buzz, she held it in the palm of her hand, and tried stabbing forward, backstabbing, cutting, and cutting, the dagger was slightly heavier, but extremely sharp, and the air resistance was almost non-existent, using this dagger, her shooting speed was 0.1 second faster under normal conditions, which can be called a huge improvement.
She was very satisfied with the dagger, and she couldn't tell whose private collection of sophisticated weapons it was, but she just laughed at it anyway.
The old miner also handed her a shield of excellent quality, and she took it in her hand and checked it, she wouldn't use this thing to throw a shield like Captain America did? I don't have that skill.
Throw the shield directly to the old miner: "This is for you." ”
The group emptied the treasury, and the bodies of the thieves were not spared. Killing people in the wilderness and then abandoning them in the wilderness is a little less deterrent, and bringing these corpses back to the death mine to show all the thieves can deter a lot of people with bad intentions.
The giant ship sailed silently into the secret port, and the thieves heard about the treasure and swarmed in, not to mention three hundred, but just a rough look at the past, and knew that the number exceeded a thousand.
Vanessa stood on a high platform, her back to the ship, all the guns in a firing state, and the muzzles of the guns were aimed at everyone.
She had the old miner carry a large chest, which she had kicked over from the side, scattering the gold, silver and jewels, and the bodies of more than twenty thieves hanging from the mast of the great ship like flags.
Excitement and fear coexisted, and she sweated in her palms, but she still said loudly: "Everyone in the Brotherhood of Defia is listening to me!" I'm Edwin. Van Cleef's daughter, I have the treasure, I also have the dagger, I am going to be this chief now, who is in favor of it? Who is against? ”
Shouting at the top of his voice, to be honest, it's a little uncomfortable, but many leaders in this world are high-level warriors, born with human speakers, all of them are loud voices, all of them are iron lungs, they are all angry dantian, and they can be heard by people within two miles, and the loud voice seems to be able to be equated with courage, which has led to the fact that no one has studied a megaphone until now.
This bad habit can make her a thief, although it is not difficult to make a paper horn, but she still chooses to follow the customs, raise her voice and shout, this time you need momentum, it is really not good to take a paper horn.
The echo in the cave was good, and with the fact that she was standing a little higher, her voice was a little shrill but not inaudible.
The cannon on the giant ship also lowered the angle of attack at this time, as if someone from below would open fire if someone said 'no' from this side.
In this situation, who would dare to resist, if a thousand people swarmed up, Vanessa would definitely have to run away, but united for the same goal? Sorry, the thieves don't have the word unity in their dictionaries.
Led by the old miners, the thieves reaffirmed the Van Cleeffs' leadership of the Defia Brotherhood, and Vanessa officially took over the paramilitary organization that had dominated the Wild West for years.
In the evening of the same day, under the coercion of Vanessa, the old miner and another small thief leader who took refuge began to carry out a purposeful decapitation operation, and several parties soon rolled in, you hit me, I beat him, and as the killing increased, the feud between them became deeper and deeper.
The bloody storm lasted for three days, and the number of thieves in the dead mine was different every day, including those who fled, those who returned, those who died, and those who went missing.
Vanessa used her very immature political tactics to stir up several contradictions, and when everything calmed down, she divided a third of Sandel's treasure, with a carrot in one hand and a stick in the other, regardless of what she thought in her heart, at least on the big picture, she had finished the process of seizing the treasure from Edwin. Van Cleef to his own rights excessively.
There are now more than 800 thieves who can be officially controlled by her and are willing to accept her orders.
Most of them were thieves, with just over thirty warriors, seven hunters, and two mage apprentices.
There are no priests, no paladins, this deformed class composition is too different from the legion model she imagined, and she must start reforming it immediately.
"Miss, three more brothers are missing today." Vanessa sat in Dafan's office in front of her, holding a copy of the Azeroth Chronicles and perusing it, and the old miner respectfully came to report to her.
It was the tenth day after the crossing, and after mastering the Brotherhood thoroughly, Vanessa asked the old miners to count the number of people every day and find out the missing people.
In the eyes of the old miners, this is a bit hypocritical, isn't it just dead? It's meaningless to say that it's missing.
Vanessa put down the book in her hand, ready to tell the old miner some secrets.
"You must think those people are dead, right? Let me tell you, they're not dead, at least not at all, they're still roaming our mines...... It's just that they are no longer human, but have become undead. ”
