Diego and Masrae were in a hurry, as it was already late to get to Alexton's farm, and they had to hurry up to get there by noon.

Bergard, on the other hand, led the convoy a few miles behind them, and if anything happened, they could arrive in support in less than half an hour.

From Yuexi Town all the way to the north, the scene on the side of the road became more and more desolate, the originally thriving farm has long been deserted, and there are few people to see as far as the eye can see, only wild dogs with red eyes can be seen wandering around, and scavenging birds pass through the sky from time to time, looking for unlucky travelers who encounter bandits.

The two men walked for about three hours, and before the sun could rise overhead, they made it to Alexton Farm. It was once the most fertile land in the entire Western Wilderness, and a whole row of wind-powered mills couldn't grind the oats from this farm into flour by working all night. There are still many huge barns here, but now, the grain stored in them has been stolen without exception.

Diego saw two members of the Brotherhood of Defia standing in front of the largest barn, wearing red scarves, and when he saw Diego and their arrival, one of them raised a white cloth in his hand and shook it a few times.

Diego and Masrae glanced at each other, then turned their horses and walked over to each other.

They came to a halt when they reached the barn door, but did not dismount. Diego looked down on the two Brotherhood members from the back of the Kodomon.

"Is Van Cleef here?" He asked coldly.

"The chief is waiting for you inside." The gatekeeper avoided his gaze with some fear, and replied.

Diego smiled and jumped off Kodomon's back. Then he gently patted it on the shoulder. The beast took a few steps forward and began to nibble on the weeds by the roadside. Not far from it. Masrae's horses were also doing the same thing as it was at a leisurely pace.

"Guan Haifa, stay with them." Diego said to the big cat behind him.

The yellow leopard obediently walked over to the Kodomon. Then he looked back at Diego. It is clearly aware of the intentions of its human friends, which is to see their way out.

Diego smiled with satisfaction and walked reassuringly towards the barn door. However, in front of the gate, they were stopped by the two janitors.

"Hand over your weapons." One of the guys said.

Diego couldn't help but scoff - just kidding, hand over the weapon, is this the rhythm of delivering meat tickets to the door?

"Masrae, let's go!" Diego turned back and walked towards Kodomon, but he took a few steps before stopping. He shouted at the barn, "Van Cleef, I know you're in there, do you think the Wild West is still the world of the Brotherhood of Defia?" I can tell you that your good days are over! ”

After speaking, he turned away without stopping.

But before he could take three steps, the fraternity member guarding the gate behind him shouted.

"The leader let you in!"

Diego stopped and laughed. They walked again into the barn.

It wasn't dark inside the barn, and the sun was shining through the holes in the barn's roof. Find the bright one inside.

Diego squinted and glanced around the barn. There were a lot of people in the barn, about twenty of them, but they didn't look like an ambush, for most of them didn't have their weapons drawn from their waists.

In the middle of the barn lay a thick table. It looks a bit like a kitchen board, greasy and smelly. Behind the desk sat a middle-aged man with black hair in his forties. A red scarf around his neck. He wears black leather armor trimmed with brass, with two scimitars stuck around his waist.

Diego recognized him at a glance. This is exactly the leader of the brotherhood. Edwin? Van Cleef. Next to him sat a little girl of thirteen or fourteen. Diego was completely relieved at the first sight of her. Because the girl's name is Vanessa? Van Cleef, is it Edwin? Van Cleef's daughter -- no one is still dragging their families with them while they are still trying to fight to the death. Unless he didn't have the intention of doing so at all.

"Hey, everyone, it looks like we're not too late." Diego walked up and greeted everyone. And then the big grin in Edwin? Van Cleve sat down across from him.

"Say your terms!" Van Cleef didn't seem to have any intention of greeting him at all, and said straight to the point.

"Join my realm, and I will pardon you for the crimes you have committed." Diego said bluntly.

"And what about what Stormwind owes us?"

"Haven't you had enough of the Wild West in the past few years?"

"How can it be the same, we must ask Stormwind to compensate us!"

"Stormwind didn't pay you, and that's their fault, but is that why you're looting civilians in the Wild West? You know, they, like you, are also ordinary people, living with their own hands, what better can you do this than the ** nobles in your eyes? ”

"We don't care, they didn't give us money anyway, we're going to get it back ourselves!"

"Then why don't you go to Stormwind and ask them? Cowards who can only bully the soft and fear the hard! Diego said disdainfully.

"We'll go, but only after we've grown."

"Do you think you can grow and grow because of your own strength?" Diego asked contemptuously, his eyes full of banter and disdain.

"Isn't it?" A young fraternity member protested

"Cut, shit!" Diego didn't hide the contempt in his eyes, "That's because Stormwind doesn't care about you, and they're being treated by that Countess Catlena?" Presto is dizzy, not only them, but you are also being tricked by that woman! She tells the nobles not to worry about the money and to put all their money into Stormwind's military expenses, and then he tells you that there will be a good payback! ”

"It was she, who provoked this qiē, but ......" At this point, Diego stopped, he looked at Edwin? Van Cleeff then threw a large bomb, "You'd never think that woman was actually a black dragon!" ”

There was an uproar in the crowd, and even the most supportive of him thought he was sensationalizing. Because of the rampant Brotherhood in the Western Wilderness, no one dared to come here, not even the most daring merchants, and they did not dare to go south as far as Sentinel Ridge. This has also made the sources of the Brotherhood of Defia even more closed. Although many people have witnessed the miracle over the distant city of Stormwind some time ago, no one knows what happened over there.

"Another lying nobleman!"

"!"

"How can such a beautiful woman be a dragon! This is ridiculous! ”

"Shameful liar!"

There was a chaotic crowd, almost everyone was questioning him, and the venue was as chaotic as a vegetable market in the evening, full of noise and restlessness.

"Quiet, shut up!" Diego roared and jerked himself up from his chair, and he pulled the still hot scale from the demon's backpack - the only piece of loot shot down in the Battle of Stormstorm - and slammed it on the table.

"That's the proof! A bunch of ignoramites! He looked mockingly at everyone in the Brotherhood. (To be continued......)
