Chapter Forty-Eight: Edwin Van Cleef at Your Service
Edwin Van Cleeff, the founder of the Defia Brotherhood. www.biquge.info To be honest, Xiao Yi has always been more sympathetic to this person, although later the Brotherhood of Defia was completely reduced to an organization of robbers and thieves.
But if anyone can't get the reward they deserve for their hard work, it's a thing that can make people angry!
Could it be that Stormwind really can't afford to pay? Or is it really as powerful as the Black Dragon Princess's conspiracy? No! It's because those nobles in Stormwind didn't even think about paying them!
Stormwind can't be built in a day or a month, and even if the royal family of Stormwind falls in the meantime, they will be able to collect enough money to pay for these honest people who work hard.
However, they are ashamed to say that they have invested all their funds and reorganized the elite army.
But what did these elite armies do next? They didn't do anything! When the Brotherhood of Defia ravaged the Wild West, the people of the entire Wild West did not receive even a single military aid from Stormwind!
Then they set up their own People's Army to fight against the Brotherhood, but the warriors who shed their blood to protect their homeland did not receive any support from the kingdom, and even the poor People's Army needed the support of the farmers!
What is it that makes Stormwind so indifferent and inactive about the Wild West? Is it the conspiracy of the Black Dragon? Or is the king missing? For these excuses, Xiao Yi just wanted to say that the king was missing, so he turned a blind eye to the rebellion that occurred within the kingdom, so why didn't he dissolve the kingdom?
What are your elite armies doing at this time? Later, Deathwing ravaged Stormwind, what did your army do?
"My lord, the stonemason you want to see has brought you." His thoughts were a little confused, and it wasn't until Steward Auston reminded him that Xiao Yi came back to his senses.
Apologetically smiling at Edie, who was quietly standing aside and waiting, Xiao Yi began to look at the engineer brought in by the butler. It was a tall man with long black hair.
The muscles raised high show that he is not just a conductor in his work, many times he will do it himself, but his appearance is very ordinary, the kind of ordinariness that will never be remembered.
"Your name, stonemason!" When he saw the stonemason come in, he lowered his head slightly and was very dissatisfied, and Edie said sternly.
After hearing Edie's words, the stonemason raised his head and showed a sunny smile, he didn't seem to be nervous, and after saluting Xiao Yi, he said, "Honorable lord, Edwin Van Cleef is at your service. β
"Bang-" In the surprised eyes of everyone, Xiao Yi hurriedly straightened the teacup that he had knocked over, and smiled awkwardly.
But he was roaring in his heart, this Nima was still thinking about you just now, and he actually jumped out so impatiently! Didn't you say you're an agent! How could it be in the Wild West at this time!
"Your Excellency?" Edie softly called out to Xiao Yi, who was distracted again.
"Huh?!" Xiao Yi turned his head in confusion, but then reacted, suppressed the surprise in his heart, and stopped the Auston butler from cleaning the table with a smile on his face, and said to Edwin Van Cleef:
"Lord Van Cleef, I've heard of you!"
Under Edwin Van Cleef's puzzled eyes, Xiao Yi said slowly, "Mr. Assassin, the best assassin in Stormwind City, may I ask why you are here?" β
Edwin Van Cleef's alternate identity before founding the Defia Brotherhood was an MI7 Assassin, and was the top Assassin under MI7 leader Matthias Shore!
was called by Xiao Yi to reveal his identity, Edwin Van Cleef was not as shocked as he imagined, or abducted Xiao Yi violently.
He shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly: "The orcs are here, the nobles have fled, but I still have to feed my daughter." β
Vanessa Van Cleve! Xiao Yi learned about this tragic woman during a mission, although he had not experienced this woman who was said to be the final boss of the Death Mine, but in the mission he saw such a sentence:
"Hope? Is that how I should have felt when I saw you noble lackeys cut off my father's head? Hopefully, to me it's just a wicked joke in this cold world. There is no hope, only Vanessa exists. βVanessa Van Cleef.
What is it to be able to say such things and think that hope does not exist? Xiao Yi, who was still a student at the time, couldn't imagine it, but he remembered this woman.
After a moment of silence, Xiao Yi said to Edwin Van Cleef, "I believe you, Your Excellency Van Cleef. β
"Because of your daughter!"
was a little confused by Xiao Yi's last addition, what happened to his daughter? But he soon put aside this doubt and attributed it to Xiao Yi's kindness.
After all, there is a saying in the City of Angels and even among the humans in the entire Western Wilderness, Xiao Yi once said: 'At least give some children!' This phrase is still sung by people today.
"Edwin Van Cleef is here for you!" Edwin Van Cleef said again.
"Very good, you come here, I'll tell you what I need!" Xiao Yi nodded with satisfaction, no matter what this man would become in the future, but now he is still the greatest architect of mankind!
After describing the plan to Edwin Van Cleef again, Xiao Yi said to him, "I need your professional advice!" β
Van Cleef did not rush to reply to Xiao Yi, but gestured at the map, and after thinking for a while, he said: "Your plan is generally feasible, but I still need to personally survey the terrain before I can give you an accurate answer." β
Nodding, Xiao Yi said, "How many members of the Brotherhood of Stonemasons can you gather now?" I need to build it as fast as I can, and I'm sure the orcs won't watch us build a city here. β
"As you wish! Dear Lords! Van Cleef said respectfully, "You are a true nobleman!" Many brothers and their families have received your gifts, and I am sure they will be happy to serve you. β
"I'll pay you well!" Xiao Yi said affirmatively, and said thoughtfully: "After the orcs leave, as a reward, I think you will get an identity worthy of your merits!" I swear by my honor! β
Xiao Yi didn't want the Brotherhood of Defiya to appear in the Western Wilderness again, and at the same time tied this man who was both a senior engineer and a powerful assassin to his chariot in advance!
"No one will doubt your credibility, my lord!" Van Cleef shook his head, and said firmly:
"This is also our part of the fight against the abominable orcs! I don't want my poor daughter to hold me in the middle of the night again and say she's hungry! β
