Chapter 233: Vanessa's Dilemma
Vanessa's face sank, and she shook her head lightly and said, "No, I won't leave you alone to run for your life!" ”
Hu Ye, who was not far away, was also deeply surprised when he saw this scene, and couldn't help muttering to himself: "It turns out that this chick is the boss of the Phidia Brotherhood, then she is Edwin Van Cleeff's daughter, Vanessa Van Cleef!" ”
In fact, those who know the Phidia Brotherhood know that the Van Cleeff father and daughter are tragic figures. Edwin Van Cleef founded the Brotherhood of Phidia in order to recover the wages that Stormwind owed to the Stonemasons, becoming a thorn in Stormwind's side.
Vanessa, on the other hand, witnessed her father's murder when she was a little girl, and when she grew up, she reorganized the Phidia Brotherhood in order to avenge her father, and has been fighting against the nobles of Stormwind.
However, for Hu Ye, although the father and daughter are worthy of sympathy, if they dare to infringe on his interests, they will definitely not be soft on them.
At present, the Phidia Brotherhood will be surrounded and suppressed by the army, which is of course a good thing for Hu Ye. It's best for both sides to fight and lose and die together, which is in line with his wishes.
With this in mind, Hu Ye entered the theater mode and let the Phidia Brotherhood and the army fight each other.
Vanessa is not as easy as Hu Ye, looking at almost everyone with injuries and a lot of loss of strength, the female thief is heartbroken. Many of these people were their father's old subordinates, who had come together for revenge. Now that the plan for revenge has just begun, it is really difficult for Vanessa to accept that it has been hit so hard.
The female thief fought the soldier and asked one of her men next to her, "How did the army find you?" ”
"I don't know." The man was already wounded, and panted and said: "Everyone was resting, and the army suddenly rushed in, and many people were killed...... Yes! ”
Before he could finish speaking, he was stabbed in the chest with a spear by a soldier, and after screaming, he fell to the ground.
"Mike!" Vanessa screamed, took two steps forward, and the dagger in her hand slashed the soldier's throat.
The soldier threw down his spear and covered his throat with his hands in vain, but he could not stop the blood gushing out, and he soon died.
The other members of the Brotherhood of Fidia also fought desperately, mingling with the soldiers. But these people are okay to grab a civilian on the road, and they are not opponents of the army at all.
One by one, the members of the Brotherhood of Phidia fell in front of the well-trained soldiers, and soon only five or six of the strongest were left, barely standing around Vanessa.
A knight gestured and the soldiers stopped attacking, took two steps forward and shouted: "Vanessa Van Cleef, you have committed treason and deserve to be hanged!" However, Count Rose has decided to show you extrajudicial favors, as long as you are willing to surrender and swear allegiance to Count Rose, you will be spared death! ”
Vanessa looked at the knight contemptuously and said, "Hugh wants me to surrender to that old bastard!" I've already found out that Stormwind City's arrears of wages to the Stonemasons Guild back then were his idea! If it weren't for Count Rose, my father wouldn't have died, he was the culprit of the whole thing! ”
The knight's face sank and said: "Slandering nobles is a serious crime, don't talk nonsense!" I'll give you one last chance, do you surrender or not? ”
"Never!" Vanessa's pretty face was full of stubbornness, and she simply rejected the knight's suggestion, which made Hu Ye admire this female thief a little.
However, Hu Ye felt that if he had changed himself, he would definitely agree to surrender. The so-called "stay in the green mountains is not afraid of no firewood", Vanessa is still too young!
"If you don't surrender, then don't blame me for being rude!" The knight smirked and slowly raised his right hand.
Seeing this, the soldiers immediately raised their weapons and took a neat step forward.
The soldiers under the command of Count Ross were more elite than those of Baron Chaglin. More than two hundred soldiers moved in exactly unison, causing tremendous pressure.
On Vanessa's side, there are only a dozen or so people still fighting power, and as long as the soldiers charge once, they will basically be wiped out.
But even so, the people of the Phidia Brotherhood did not back down. They gathered around the female thief, all with solemn expressions, ready for the last battle.
Vanessa's most trusted senior member was also among them, and he looked at the approaching soldiers with twinkling eyes, and leaned over to the female thief and whispered, "Boss, you go first in a while, and I'll cover you!" ”
"No, I'm ......" Vanessa refused as usual, but before she could finish her words, she suddenly felt a pain in her lower back.
The frightened female thief looked down and saw that her henchman had withdrawn the bloody dagger from her waist, and then she suddenly realized: "Van Doorne, it turns out that you are a traitor, no wonder the army can find our hiding place!" ”
After succeeding, Van Doorne took a few steps back, and then said triumphantly: "It's a pity that you know too late, the power of the Phidia Brotherhood has been uprooted, I advise you to surrender to Lord Earl, so that there is still hope to live!" ”
Vanessa's face was full of pain, and she asked Van Doorne unwillingly, "Why are you doing this?" ”
"Because the Earl has made a condition that I cannot refuse." Van Doorne said triumphantly: "And I'm tired of hiding underground like a mouse, I want to walk in the sun openly and live a good life as a fool!" ”
One of the knights sneered, "Van Doorne made the right choice, Lord Earl rewarded him with a house in Glitter City, as well as enough gold coins to spend a lifetime and two beautiful maids!" If you are as knowledgeable as he is, you will be rewarded in the same way! ”
Listening to the knight's words, two more Phidian Brotherhood men hesitated, and finally threw down their weapons in surrender.
The rest of the men would rather die than give in, but let out a loud shout and suddenly rushed towards the traitor Van Doorn.
The knight sneered and waved his hand heavily. The archers standing behind immediately released their arrows and shot the men into hedgehogs.
"Don't!" Vanessa cried out in grief, but couldn't get anything back.
Several people fell to the ground without saying a word, and a bearded man used his last strength to say to Vanessa, "Boss...... Come on! ”
There was no point in staying any longer, Vanessa glared at Van Doorne hatefully, turned and ran out of town.
Van Doorne didn't dare to let the female thief run away, and hurriedly raised his crossbow to aim at her back.
However, a knight caught up, pressed Van Doorne's hand, and coldly reminded him: "Lord Earl wants to catch him alive, chase me after it!" ”
Van Doorn did not dare to disobey the orders of Count Rose, so he could only chase after him.
The injured Vanessa stumbled for her life, just in time to run to Hu Ye's hideout.
