Chapter 431: Hometown
The common people of Azeroth were unaware of the battle of Argus, and the Arathi Heights, which lived in the midst of various forces, were fighting fiercely day after day.
This is where the last of the Forsaken of Azeroth gathers.
There are the remnants of the army who have fled from the territory of Lordaeron, there are the blasphemers who are the elite troops, and there are Garin, who has come back from the dead. Prince Torbain, the confluence of the three forces, has now managed to restore the number of the Forsaken to eight thousand, of which less than three thousand soldiers are capable of fighting.
Vanessa's old friend, Death Knight Grian. Stallman and Garin. Torbain conspired to annex the Polluter's commander and the world's last elite army of the Forsaken.
The relationship between the two is a bit like that of the partner, Grian. Stallman has a high combat power, and the high-ranking Death Knight is a commander even in the Lich King's team, and he has a lot of experience in his life, whether it is civil or military, he knows a little.
Garin. Thorbain is not very strong, but he is the heir to the legitimate kingdom of Stormgard, and the two of them are capable and famous, and each side takes what they need, barely maintaining the situation of the Forsaken.
The two sides worked together to expel the ogres in Fort Riptide, the capital of the Kingdom of Stormgard, and gained a firm foothold in this proud city of human civilization.
But Riptide Fort has been abandoned for too long, not to mention that it is not as good as the former Dark City, even compared to those cities in Andorhar, Riptide Fort is not dominant, it is like a castle of a rich man in the countryside, what do you want.
Today's kingdom of Stormgard has existed in name only, ogres and trolls are rampant in the Arathi Heights, and some remnants of the orcs will also haunt the countryside, plus some human soldiers, dwarves, pirates and their forsaken, this land is a typical temple demon wind, Chi Qian Wang Baduo.
To the north of the Arathi Highlands is the growing power of Lordaeron, and to the south is the dwarven kingdom of Kazmodan, and the reason why they can survive is only because of the relatively remote location, Vanessa's side has no excuse and no time to clean them up, and the dwarves have little interest in human land, so they have survived to this day.
But whether it's Grian. Stallman, or Garin. Thorbain, they all know that they don't have much time left, and if they don't find a way out quickly, the future will be a dead word.
They have united some orcs and trolls, but the situation is still not optimistic.
"Your Highness, I think we lack the necessary intelligence, we don't have the talent to do this, and that's why we have been defeated by the Eighth Legion of Lordaeron."
Grian. Stallman didn't know about the existence of the Assassin Alliance, and he was also puzzled, this Lordaeron Eighth Legion was too evil, and its frontal combat ability was average, but the assassination technique was simply terrifying, and the ability to collect intelligence was even more terrifying.
To be able to be raised as a prince, Garin. Tol Bain wasn't a straw bag either: "What do you mean?" ”
"We need to have our own intelligence network, and the Forsaken need a superior thief."
Garin. Thorbain thought about the proposal for a while, they also had a few mages and alchemists under their command who could replicate the resurrection of Grian that day. Stallman's process, that is, first summoning spirits, and then awakening memories.
As for whether it can be done, then God knows.
"Whose corpse are you looking for?" He asked.
Grian. Stallman slowly reported the name of his old friend: "Edwin. Van Cleef......"
......
Two days later, as a death knight who knows nothing but tiredness, Grian. Stallman returned to the Wild West, to his hometown after a long absence.
There is no Defia Brotherhood, there are no high taxes, the fishmen, jackals and kobolds have all disappeared, plus Vanessa's previous rounds of reclamation of the Western Wilderness, this year the Western Wilderness ushered in a bumper harvest, the farmers are full of smiles, not only will they not starve to death in the coming year, but there is some money to allow the children in the family to go to Hope Primary School, as long as they learn arithmetic for two years, they will not have to worry about finding a job in the future, and their hearts are full of hope.
Grian. Stallman rode his death horse and looked down from a dirt mountain.
Although his values have long been distorted by life and death, the Wild West still holds a special place in his heart.
The blue soul fire looked at Sentinel Ridge from afar, and the original refugee camp had been transformed into a bustling and peaceful town through his and Vanessa's efforts.
"My lord, we brought people here." Two Forsaken soldiers escorted a young man to the mountain and violently beat him to the ground.
The young man drank a lot of wine, smelled drunk, was pressed to the ground, and muttered two sentences of swearing.
But as soon as he was blown by the cold wind on the mountain, he looked up and saw the 'people' around him in a cold sweat.
Even if he doesn't have much knowledge, he can still see the cold temperament on several people.
"Mr. Hunter, do you still know me?" Grian. Stallman said darkly.
The young man looked at his face through the glimmer: "I don't know you, who are you...... You? Aren't you dead? You! ”
The young man's mind is completely incomprehensible to how a person comes back from the dead. Stallman shouted angrily.
"Remember when you betrayed the Brotherhood of Defia and betrayed Edwin. Van Cleef's business! ”
"I don't know, I haven't seen them since that day, I'm not a member of the Brotherhood, just a little worker, just a good meal and a little money......" he was still babbling about his innocence.
Grian. Stallman didn't bother to talk nonsense with him, drew his rune sword and pressed it on the young man's shoulder: "Take me to the Brotherhood's stronghold, I know that you were the one who led the way for those assassins." ”
The young man didn't dare to delay, but his memory was already very vague, and he was afraid of retribution, so he hid outside for more than half a year, and the western wilderness has changed a lot in more than a year, and it is not easy to find the path again, so he took Grian in a daze. Stallman made two circles in the mountains.
"Found it! This is it! This mine road looks abandoned, but if you are careful, you can still walk, and I will not ......accompany you," he said before he could finish his sentence. Stallman kicked him in the back and staggered into the tunnel.
The entire underground mine was abandoned, but surprisingly clean.
This cleanliness does not mean that the ground is clean, but that there is no debris, and a few people walked all the way and found that not to mention the tools and weapons in the tunnel, not even a single iron nail was seen, which was too clean?
