Chapter 114: Van Cleef, goodbye to the Dust Swamp!

Sean's proposal, or the proposal of the King of Wa, was the proposal of a ruler to his subjects, a proposal of great tolerance and condescension in the eyes of those in power, because it harmed the interests of the King of Wa, who was in power, in exchange for the allegiance of Van Cleeff and the Brotherhood of Defia.

Many people will choose to agree to such a proposal.

Territory, military power, wealth, status, pardon, from now on, Van Cleef will be a high authority, with wealth and glory, all the previous unhappiness will be erased, blinded by a glorious appearance, and it will look so glamorous.

Who would disagree?

But is that really the case?

No matter how much wealth and status you have, can you really erase the humiliation you have suffered?

There is a good man who was wrongfully imprisoned, and twenty years later, people told him: I'm sorry, I wronged you at the beginning, we will give you 1 million as compensation, and we will issue an announcement to redress your grievances. With this million, you can start a small business, marry a wife, have two children, and have no worries for the rest of your life.

There was a good man who was wrongfully convicted of murder and sentenced to death. Ten years after his death, people told his relatives: I'm sorry, I wronged him back then, we are now avenging him, and at the same time we will give you some compensation. Although he is dead, he has left you a fortune, and you can at least eat and drink.

Well, how wonderful it sounds, but ...... How pathetic!

A mistake is a mistake, and no matter how much you avenge it in the future, it is a mistake that has already been made.

If your leg is broken and can't be connected, how can you repair it if your heart is broken?

Those unbearable pasts, those years of hard work, finally went down the drain, and those anger and grievances accumulated in my heart day after day, how can they all be eliminated because of a word?

Those in power always stand on a high place and look down on the people, but forget that the people do not like his look down.

King Wa is a king after all, he will never think from the perspective of the people, he is not an ordinary people after all.

So his resolution, Van Cleef could not accept.

"Mayor of Mooncreek? Constable? Mining rights to the Death Mine? Thirty percent of the income? New Stonemasons' Union? The right to build all large buildings? Varian, Varian, are you giving to you? Do I, Van Cleef, and my brothers, need your alms? ”

Van Cleef sneered: "The Death Mine is mine now, Moon Creek Town is mine now, and Varian intends to reward me with everything I already have?" Some of them were castrated? Sure enough, it's the face of the people in power! How could I possibly accept such a request? How could my brothers possibly accept it? ”

"Our cause is just, Stormwind is evil!"

Van Cleef pointed to the picture on the wall and said angrily, "Stormwind has decayed, the aristocracy has decayed, even if Varian has the heart to rectify it, how can he rectify it?" What's more, he is the biggest nobleman in his own right! I don't need his alms! ”

Van Cleef's words shouted out the hearts of many people.

Old Grian used to be an ordinary farmer, but then he became a warrior and paladin step by step, and was chosen by the Knights of the Silver Hand, and then he had the iron-blooded glory of later fighting on the battlefield.

So he understood everything Van Cleeff was saying.

However, understanding does not mean acceptance.

Old Grean stared at Van Cleeff, shook his head and said, "Van Cleef, the people are innocent. Maybe your rebellion has your justification, and maybe no one is right or wrong in this regard, but what you have done over the years has hurt too many people of Azeroth. Look at everything around! Wild West, Elwyn Forest, Red Ridge Mountain, Twilight Forest! In every land, there are your people who are sinning! In the damage! Burn and loot! Van Cleve, don't you feel ashamed? ”

"'Our cause is just'? Phew! Van Cleef, you will never be righteous! ”

Old Grion clenched his fists: "Van Cleef, the people killed in Yuexi Town will not support you; Those exiled peoples will not support you; The people who hear of your evil deeds will not support you! All the people of Azeroth will not support you! You're more of a loner than your Majesty! ”

Van Cleef exclaimed, "I have thousands of brothers!" All the members of the Brotherhood of Defia are of the same mind as me! ”

Old Glian sneered: "One heart? Do you think about the members of the Brotherhood of Defia, how many of them were stonemasons who were humiliated with you in the first place? Is there a thousand? Are there five hundred? Who are the more? Bandits? Pirate? The Rusty Water Consortium? Ogre? Minotaur? Van Cleef, how many good men do you have? Will they be of the same heart with you? Interests make you a group, but the groups are not for the same good! ”

Van Cleef opened his mouth, unable to utter a word.

Yes, old Grian was not wrong.

What the Brotherhood of Defia has been doing all these years!

For revenge, they killed too many people and robbed too many.

They even recruited pirates and villains whom they once hated; They have become the people they once hated.

They once thought they were righteous, but now they are covered in dirt that can never be washed away.

With blood on our hands, how can we still uphold justice and light?

Van Cleef felt more frustrated than ever.

Old Grian's words were too harsh.

However......

Even though I know that my path is no longer bright, I can never turn back.

Van Cleef muttered, "I will restrain those under my command, I can even give up bombarding Stormwind, I will convince those stonemason brothers who have been following me that we have a common hatred, we can sail the dreadnought, go to the Dust Swamp, and fight with Onexia...... But I absolutely cannot accept Varian's canonization! I can't live up to so many years of bitterness and pain for those empty things, and let down my brother who has died for it! ”

Silence, or silence.

Whether it is old Greion or Madias, or Sean, it is already clear that this is already Van Cleve's bottom line.

He absolutely could no longer give in, he had already conceded to the limit.

Taking a step back, even if Van Cleef could endure it, his brothers would definitely not tolerate it.

In any case, Onexia may be behind it, but it is Stormwind City that directly causes their miserable life for so many years.

There's no way they're going to accept Stormwind's offer.

This is already the limit!

Sean is the head of the mission, and he has the final decision-making power.

Sean sighed and shook his head, "Van Cleef, goodbye to the Dust Swamp." ”
