Second Lieutenant Glish wasn't a regular soldier in Stormwind, or at least not yet. He and his boys, who were rescued by Lao Tang and his party, were a small detachment of the Western Wilderness People's Army. The Wild West People's Army is an armed group formed by Grian Stallman, a militia that defends its freedom and protects its land and property.

Perhaps the Wild West People's Army is not as well-armed and well-trained as the Stormwind Guards; It may not be as brave and powerful as the regular army of the Alliance; But their courage and will to defend their homeland are not inferior to anyone. When the Brotherhood of Defia burned, looted, and ran rampant in this land, the nobles of Stormwind did not pay the slightest attention to the situation and life of their civilians, let alone send any troops to help protect them. In this land, only the militia of the Western Wilderness People's Army is still fighting hard in the face of lack of assistance and resources to surround homes, property, relatives and friends.

It took nearly half a month for Old Tang and his caravan to trek out of the rainforest of Thorn Valley under the "sandwich welcome" of venture capital companies and jungle trolls; Under the "encirclement and interception" of the big fat men in the Ogre Mountain of Vagour, they broke out of the siege, passed through the twilight forest that did not see the light of day, and finally set foot on the human territory of the Western Wilderness. But maybe it's because the goblin profiteers have done too much damage on weekdays, and the caravan is constantly in turmoil along the way, not to mention, even in the western wilderness, you can have a "warm-up game" at the first time.

As soon as the caravan set foot on the desolate but fertile land of the Western Wilderness, they saw bandits wearing red masks of various materials and 100 besieging a group of more than a dozen human guards. From that special outfit, as a crossing man, the old Tang Qing recognized their identity - the Brotherhood of Defiya. Old Tang secretly sighed for trouble, but also knew that this battle was inevitable. These unrelenting robbers and plunderers will not let go of a fat sheep full of oil and water like the goblin caravan. Sure enough, as soon as they discovered the whereabouts of the caravan, these Defia thugs split half of their men and rushed towards Lao Tang and the others, trying to surround the caravan.

But before Old Tang could give the order to meet the enemy, the human swordsman Vasi*Lev, who had not yet recovered, roared angrily and rushed into the crowd, and did not stop until he was in front of the besieged guards. The human swordsman, who had been seriously wounded in the Valley of Thorns, found his childhood friend in the encirclement, and his brother on the battlefield was in danger and immediately fell into a state of rage and was the first to enter the battle.

Second Lieutenant Glish was a fellow countryman and old comrade-in-arms of the swordsman Vasiy Lev. These two resolute and brave warriors resolutely joined the army when the orc invaders destroyed and swept the Storm Kingdom. The two of them were assigned to the same unit, fighting side by side against the orc invasion and fighting bloodily to defend their country against the invaders. But after the war, the heroes of these alliances were not respected and rewarded as they should be.

In order to save military spending, the corrupt and greedy nobles made up a crime for delaying the fighter plane for their swordsman team, and finally disbanded the team and revoked the number. The two human swordsmen, who were disheartened, also started different lives after the disbandment of the army.

The swordsman Huaxi Lev was unwilling to live an ordinary life, went out to travel to be an adventurer, and began an adventurous life of sleeping in the open and licking blood from the knife. The strong man Grish returned to his hometown in the western wilderness to work as a farmer, feeding the horses and chopping firewood and tending to the crops every day in this deserted but fertile land, living a busy but peaceful life. It wasn't until the granary of Stormwind in the Wild West was overrun by the Defia thugs that Glish's peaceful life was shattered.

Glish's hut and small farm had been ransacked by a horde of Defian Brotherhood members, and even a veteran like him could not defeat a dozen agile bandits with his bare hands. Eventually, looking at the burned barn and hut, Grish responded to Grian Stallman's call in a fit of rage, took out the two-handed sword that he had collected and was stained with the blood of the orc invaders, and joined the People's Army of the Western Wilderness.

With his unwasted martial arts skills and the rich combat experience honed in the Second Orc War, Glish was soon promoted to second lieutenant by the leader of the People's Army, Sheriff Grian Stallman, who commanded a patrol responsible for the southern part of the Sentinel Ridge. This time, Ensign Glish, who was leading a dozen of his young men to patrol in the direction of the Death Farm, was blocked by a group of members of the Brotherhood of Defia, who happened to run into a caravan when they could have been wiped out, and this was the battle just now.

After an afternoon of marching, the caravan was led by Second Lieutenant Glish to Sentinel Ridge, the base of the Western Wilderness People's Army. This terrible garrison is inhabited by a thousand soldiers who try to keep the peace throughout the Wild West. With this desire, they are committed to capturing the Brotherhood members who have wandered onto the main roads to attack the Coalition villages.

However, what Don saw in the camp were tired and depressed faces, their work was sinister, and the officials of Stormwind claimed that there were no extra resources to provide. They accept anyone's aid to defend their homeland, but unfortunately they can't offer commissions, leaving them with little to no support. They worked hard to protect the farmers of the Wild West, but the farms that spread across the land were far apart and it was difficult to keep them unscathed.

Under the arrangement of Second Lieutenant Glish, the caravan spent the night in a somewhat dilapidated tavern. This dilapidated tavern is the only building in Sentinel Ridge other than the barracks. The human swordsman Vasi-Lev left with his old comrades as soon as the caravan settled, and disappeared, and the rest of the people were also a little tired after a fierce battle in the afternoon, and returned to the room early to prepare for rest. After returning to his room with Little Nizi Serena *Bloodfeather, Don took out the parchment scroll from the magic backpack on his waist - the "Prophet Scroll" and looked through it.

Old Tang's wrestling army with the dragon has initially formed combat effectiveness. If there's one flaw in the legion, it's that there is no mage sequence and thief detachment yet. In the later generations, MI7 and the Forsaken Undead Sentinels in Stormwind City have always made Old Tang's eyes covetous, but the Minotaurs, a powerful fighting race, are more suitable for fighting the enemy head-on, and the burly body and large body are not born to be stalkers. This made Old Tang's idea of setting up a Minotaur own intelligence organization repeatedly stranded.

Although the attachment of the Bloodfeather Eagle Clan enhances the Legion's battlefield reconnaissance capabilities, it has little effect on the formation of intelligence organizations. The flight advantage of the Harpy is very powerful as a scout on the battlefield, but it is undoubtedly impossible to expect the Harpy to blend in with the major forces to explore the secrets. After all, Old Tang only has one Sindolei Orb. Today's battle with the Defia Brotherhood made Old Tang have a flash of inspiration.

In addition to the members of the Stonemasons' Guild, most of the members of the Brotherhood were bandits and all kinds of bandits, and the most important thing was the thief profession. They have often been at the bottom of society for many years, and their ability to find out information is naturally not weak. If the thief power of this organization, Old Tang can plan to regain his own shortcomings and enrich the legion, then the establishment of an intelligence organization rooted in the alliance may also be promising. This thought was like a wild grass growing wildly in the summer, and it was out of control in Old Tang's mind.

Old Tang opened the "Prophet Scroll" he had written in Chinese, found the chapters of the Wild West and the Brotherhood of Defia, and read them carefully.

———————————————————————— I am the dividing line of the "Prophetic Scrolls——————————————————————

The Wild West borders the Elwyn Forest, connecting the dark and secluded Twilight Forest, with the coastline stretching to the vibrant Valley of Thorns.

Once one of the most important food producing areas in the Stormwind Kingdom, this fertile land produced crops from farms large and small that once fed most of Stormwind's food consumption every year, and was once a place of pride for farmers and herders alike. However, the war between humans and orcs has left the farms barren, leaving only devastated ruins, half-man-tall weeds, and lush trees that show that this was once a fertile land.

Gales from the Endless Sea and the Twilight Forest were non-stop, and the howling wind seemed to lament the wilderness. This rich land has not been developed since the Second World War, and although Stormwind claims ownership of the land, the Brotherhood of Defia is the de facto controller here.

Tidao Defia Brotherhood has to talk about the leader and predecessor of this organization - Edwin Van Cleef and the Masons Guild.

Edwin Van Cleef is perhaps one of the most talented men in the world of Azeroth. And like all geniuses whose lives end in tragedy, this man's life is full of drama - Edwin Van Cleef, once a young man who loved architecture, joined the famous stonemasons' guild because of his passion for architecture.

Years later, the talented Van Cleef took over from his former leader the head of the Masons Guild--- a prestigious coalition of building unions, as he had expected. And Edwin Van Cleef lived up to everyone's trust and expectations, and the reputation of the stonemasons under Van Cleef's leadership reached an unprecedented peak.

After the outbreak of the Second Orc War, the Lordaeron Human Alliance and their loyal allies, the Dwarves, Gnomes, and High Elves, defeated the tribe that destroyed the Miè's Hammer. King Terenus established the Lordaeron Alliance to help rebuild Stormwind and return the adult Prince Varian to Stormwind as king.

To Van Cleve's surprise, he received an invitation from the royal family of Stormwind, saying that the royal family wanted him to take on the task of rebuilding Stormwind. The young leader of the Masons' Guild clearly felt that he was at the pinnacle of his career. Honor, money, nobility, this once unattainable qiē seemed to be beckoning to him.

Edwin Van Cleef is the leader of the Stonemasons' Guild, and under his leadership, the Stonemasons' Guild of Artisans, Mechanics, and Laborers is commissioned by the Senate of Stormwind nobility to begin the reconstruction of Stormwind. Workers worked tirelessly to rebuild the city, carefully sculpting the stately and imposing halls and corridors of Stormstormhold. The towering spires of the Cathedral of Light and the majestic Storm Fortress stand tall in the Elwyn Forest, cast by the craftsmen. A city in the hands of such a group of geniuses shows the majesty and majesty that the capital of the Stormwind Kingdom should have.

Up until this time, Edwin Van Cleef's qiē seemed to be as smooth as the dream he had in his youth. As fate would have it, Van Cleef fired the salute to celebrate the completion of the new Stormwind City, but he and his followers received a bolt from the blue: the royal family was burdened by the war budget and had no money to pay for the project. The members of the Masons' Guild were immediately furious—they had worked so hard to do the work for the simple purpose of getting what they deserved. And now, they are getting nothing.

Do you really have no money, or is it a deliberate denial?

Van Cleef didn't even think about it, and the young and vigorous chief only saw that while the nobles were having fun in the city, the thousands of union brothers who had piled up the city with their blood and sweat were waiting for the wages to support their families. The nobles promised to give a few of the senators in the guild knighthood, but Van Cleef flatly refused to be bribed.

A riot broke out! The members of the Masonry Brotherhood were furious and almost lost their minds after learning the truth. Although King Varian Ureon initially tried to appease their anger, a member of the Brotherhood threw a stone into the head of his queen Tiffin, causing her to die soon afterward. In response to Tiffin's death and the riot, the Council of Nobles of Stormwind expelled the stonemasons from Stormwind and declared them exiled - and without paying them any wages and without a word of thanks!

At this time, Van Cleef looked at the exiles around him, tired, poor, hungry, and homeless. He looked at them, at the Stormwind that had coalesced into their hearts. It was full of people who were filled with the joy of returning home, sitting on stone benches admiring the beautiful fountains, and walking the cobbled streets without ever thinking who did the heavy lifting! Never wondered what life is like today for the founders of this great city!

Complaining has never been Van Cleef's style. Van Cleef, the chief engineer of the Masons' Union, was also a top assassin under MI7 commander Matthias Shore, a man who had been training for many years, and even the head of MI7, Matthias Shore, shouted "That man is not easy to deal with", and was extremely worried about his mutiny.

Van Cleef is not a soft egg to be slaughtered! Since Stormwind is unwilling to pay them for their hard work, they have a reason to fight for it themselves—it's a choice!

Van Cleef gathered his companions together and announced his thoughts to them, telling them the only option and reason, and the passionate followers decided to follow their leader and seek justice on their own! After this, the stonemasons' union, famous for its construction, disappeared, and the Defia Brotherhood, which survived for destruction, was quietly born!

Edwin Van Cleef led his men into the Wild West and almost completely occupied there. He contacted almost every pirate in the world, thieves. Together with the old parts of the stonemasons' union, the Defia Brotherhood was formed, which seized the mines and raided the farms to amass wealth. Members of his Brotherhood are ubiquitous in the Wild West, and even in the Elwyn Forest, he has managed to infiltrate multiple bandits.

Now, they have become a mob in the truest sense of the word. They murder and loot in the Elwyn Forest and nearby Wild West, as long as the travelers in their path are their targets. Although most of the Brotherhood's members are construction workers and engineers, they have not received a day of military training, but they possess the same military skills as they do in operating machinery or erecting beams and columns. The Brotherhood grew stronger in the years that followed, and they even established an underground base, the Death Mine, in the southern part of the Wild West.

Edwin Van Cleef has gone mad. He suffered a great moral and material toll from building Stormwind, and it drove him mad. In order to achieve his revenge, he inflicted mischief on the innocent people of the Wild West, ignoring the women and children of Stormwind, and even the hard-working farmers of the Elwyn Forest complained about his chronic harassment.

It is a pity that Defia did not win the support of the people, or in other words, even if Van Cleeff and the higher-ups of the Brotherhood came from the lower class workers and had the intention to gain the support of the people, the majority of Defia's members robbed homes and houses in the wild, and the reputation was extremely bad, so Defia eventually lost its mass base. Although Van Cleef and the Masons themselves were victims of the oppression of the perfidious Council of Nobles, when they passed on their hatred and pain to the innocent, the Brotherhood of Defia had come to the back of the righteous side.

After reading for a long time, Tang put away the scroll and began to carefully outline a feasible plan in his mind. After a while, Old Tang sighed a little dejectedly, and had to admit that he had taken it for granted. First of all, most of the members of Defia are humans, except for a few goblins and ogres. Racial differences make incorporation very unlikely.

Secondly, from the prospects, the Brotherhood is now in full swing, and Defiia occupies the Western Wilderness and has considerable economic power. For various reasons, the troops of the Stormwind Kingdom withdrew from the Western Wilderness, leaving only a group of militia: the Western Wilderness People's Army, which was also compressed by the Brotherhood to the Sentinel Ridge area and barely resisted.

As a result, while Defia has suffered setbacks and many important members have been captured or killed, the Brotherhood members throughout the Elwyn Forest have long threatened Stormwind, and the Death Mine and Mooncreek Town have also been firmly in control. In such a good situation, what reason do the members of the Brotherhood have to be subordinate to a race they have never come into contact with?

Third, Van Cleef, the former top MI7 assassin with great prestige in the Brotherhood, has not yet been killed, and with him, it may be impossible to co-opt or co-opt this force.

Most importantly, the members of the Brotherhood of Defia are mixed, and most of them are people who make abduction a common thing. If such a member is pulled to the side of the Minotaur, whether he can achieve his will to establish an intelligence organization is not to mention, just the trouble that these guys may bring will probably make the old Tang and the Minotaur lose more than they lose, and only add to the troubles.

Thinking through these joints, Old Tang rubbed his temples. The plans of their own intelligence organization have run aground again...... This made Lao Tang a little excited, but after a while, Lao Tang cracked the corners of his mouth and said unscrupulously hehe, and regardless of the surprised and disdainful eyes of Xiao Nizi Serena * Xueyu on the side, he took out a few items from his backpack and took out the banknotes and lay down on the desk where Lao Tang's body was obviously short......

Although it is unrealistic to absorb the Defia Brotherhood, it will not delay Old Tang from arranging some trouble for Stormwind City. For Stormwind City, the representative of the human forces in the later generations, to find something awkward for them, Old Tang said that there was no pressure.

—————————————————————————— I am the dividing line at the end of the body———————————————————————

I'm a little tired of the plot during this time~~~ So fast-forward again....Skip straight to the first small climax of the second volume...... These chapters are the final foreshadowing and explanation.

PS: The timeline of the Defia Brotherhood is right... But I slightly advanced the appearance time of the Western Wilderness People's Army~~~ Just to arrange a human swordsman in the group who has been cursing me for buying instant noodles without a seasoning pack...
