If at the beginning, the Defia Brotherhood was still an organization formed by some fallen people from all over the world, at the beginning they began to rob homes and houses, robbing the caravans of the past was still a helpless move to survive, but it became more and more intensified in the future: in order to expand the personnel, absorb countless hooligans and ruffians to join the organization, rob and kidnap all kinds of evil, and even participated in the action of Onexia to kidnap the king of Wa, these measures all show that the Defia Brotherhood has completely become a terrorist organization, Van Cleef, as the leader of the organization, is regarded by the residents of the vicinity of Stormwind as the Azeroth version of bin Laden.

For more than a decade, the Red Mask has become a lingering nightmare for the inhabitants of Stormwind Kingdom.

However, just when the Brotherhood of Defia was rampant and in full swing, they did not expect that a large number of strange adventurers suddenly appeared in Azeroth, saying that they were kind, but these people would kill the creatures they saw at will, and they could not see the slightest fluctuation in their hearts; They say they are evil, but they accept the request of the residents of Stormwind to destroy the Brotherhood of Defia, intending to return the blue sky to the place.

Just when Van Cleef was besieged by a large number of adventurers in the death mines, facing a desperate situation, when he saw the strange smiles on the corners of the adventurers' mouths, and looked at the eyes of them looking at their coats, trousers, capes, face shields and all other wearables, he understood that these people did not want so-called peace.

Van Cleeff eventually died, and the Defia Brotherhood dispersed, although Van Cleef's daughter Vanessa later reorganized the Brotherhood, but it did not come to fruition. It can be said that Van Cleef's life is a tragedy, he has changed from an active laborer to a distorted hater, which is certainly full of conspiracy, interests and a series of shameful and extremely dirty factors, but after all, it is inseparable from the gradual deterioration of Van Cleef's heart.

After all, he is just a poor man played by fate.

And these adventurers, of course, are the foot men!

As for Van Cleef, this man can actually be regarded as a tragic hero.

When he shouted angrily, "You lackeys of the storm, my actions are righteous!" "When he fell at the adventurer's feet, when the blood of this genius ran down the deck and dyed the second masterpiece of his life to a bright red, it was actually a pity, because it was not the right way for this man to die.

Edwin Van Cleef is perhaps one of the most talented men in the world of Azeroth, and anyone who sees the towering spires of the Cathedral of Light and the unrestrained and majestic white monolithic structure of the Stormhold will probably be convinced of this fact.

Like all geniuses whose lives end in tragedy, this man's life is full of drama - Edwin Van Cleeff, 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 leader of a prestigious coalition of building unions, from his former leader. 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. 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 stonemasons clearly felt that he was standing at the pinnacle of his career, and the honor, the money, the nobility, which had once been unattainable, seemed to beckon him.

Up until this point, everything seemed to be going well with Edwin Van Cleef, just like the dream he had when he was younger.

As fate would have it, Van Cleef fired a salute to celebrate the completion of the new Stormwind City, he received a notification that the royal family had run out of money to pay for the project, burdened by the war budget.

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. On the contrary, he led the members of the Masons' Union to launch a riot, breaking through the encirclement of the king and dispersing into the countryside.

This was the first revolution in the history of Azeroth, after which the Stonemasons' Union, famous for its construction, disappeared and the Brotherhood of Defia, which existed for destruction, was quietly born.

Over the next few years, Van Cleef pursued his plan of revenge: he used his knowledge of the Wild West to quickly expand the Brotherhood's reach in his native homeland and take over the region's rich gold mines. Using the profits from the gold mines, he has built a huge base underground in addition to further developing the Brotherhood, all in order to overthrow Stormwind.

Is that really the case, though?

Van Cliffe: Did he really plan to do so?

You must know that Van Cleef had trained in MI7 at the spy headquarters of the Stormwind Kingdom 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.

How could such a man not understand that it is difficult to overthrow the storm by his own strength?

Even if he thinks he has what it takes to succeed, as a spy, he is just playing conspiracy, co-opting corrupt officials from within to split Stormwind, and the amount of money will be much less. Then it is impossible to drive out the peasants of the entire western wilderness, so as to provoke the people to revolt on their own, and finally get the upper echelons of Stormwind to know about it.

But this man didn't, he wanted to build a ship, an iron ship that no one could sink, it was an epoch-making work of art, and what this art wanted to destroy was the crystallization of all his hard work in the first half of his life.

That's right, he plans to cross an inland river, break through the alliance's river blockade, rush through the resistance of the Wilderness People's Army in the western part of the southern continent, and the obstruction of the guards of Stormwind City in the western spring fortress of the northern continent, to bombard an inland city that can be described as impregnable.

What is this attachment for?

As I said before, Edwin. Van Cleef was a tragic figure through and through, spending half of his life creating a colossal masterpiece and the other half creating another masterpiece that was used to destroy the previous one.

Was he here to overthrow the Storm Royalty?

No, Van Cleef is not a fool, he knows very well that he can get there. Therefore, he did not put himself in the position of savior in the first place, he was only for a goal, or a dream. Do whatever it takes to do this, even if he bears the stigma of a robber, because he knows his worth. He, Edwin Van Klee, is the overlooking of all beings, and he doesn't need the understanding of others.

He is only fighting for the last of his dignity, just trying to express a gesture: "I don't accept it, I want to resist." ”

Edwin Van Cleeff was a Romantic revolutionary, or rather, he was an old man. He has his own backbone.

At the same time, he is an out-and-out villain, because he doesn't know how many families have been ruined and how many people have died.

But that doesn't kill the man, so when the man angrily shouts, "You lackeys of the storm, my actions are righteous!" "When I fell, I actually listened to it and made people sigh.

The gloomy underground labyrinth is not a suitable place for this man to be buried, and dying under the sword of the foot man is not a suitable way for this man to die.

But it's a pity that he should die or live, it's not for him to make a decision. The moment he walked into the dungeon, he had already been foreshadowed of death. And after his death, his young daughter, Vanessa Van Cleef, witnessed the tragic fate of her father, Edwin Van Cleef. The daughter of the former leader of the Brotherhood of Defia, she takes up the mantle of her father's leader and plots revenge on Stormwind in the dark corridors of the Death Mine, the stronghold of the Brotherhood of Defia.

Well, Vanessa's story is a very distant future, so let's not mention it here, let's talk about the Death Mine.

As a footman, you're all familiar with the Mines of Death.

In the ancient version, because it was a Confederate region, the Tribal Trumpets were not usually likely to come here. But in the later version, because of the function of randomly forming a dungeon, many low-level tribes have also been to this dungeon.

The twists and turns in this route make it easy to get dizzy about the young foot men who have just come into contact with the dungeon, and the boss here, in the era when there are no heirlooms, is definitely a huge challenge for the foot men.

However, this is all for the intruders, and the members of the Brotherhood of Defia will not be casual with the guests who come to the door with a friendly attitude.

"Your Majesty, please come with me!"

A man bent down respectfully, a humble expression on his face.

This is just the most ordinary member of the Brotherhood of Defia, in his thirties, and if you don't look at the leather armor on his body, just look at his face, there is no doubt that this is an ordinary person, the kind that you can't find again if you throw it into the crowd. But now he was wearing tight leather armor, with two knives hanging from his waist, and looking at his palms, which were rough and calloused, he looked like a man who often sold coolies.

So, this person is a member of the Rough Masons Guild?

It's a pity, even if he can't get paid, it will be a big loss for such a person, but as long as he goes out immediately to find a new job, make money again, and get through the most difficult period, he may be able to return to his normal life. As a result, he was led by Van Cleef to start a rebellion against Stormwind, what will happen? That is already self-explanatory.

With the power of Stormwind, sooner or later, the Brotherhood of Defia can be completely wiped out, and the difference is only a matter of time.

Du Teng looked at the other party's rickety back, did not speak, and walked forward with a calm face.

Continuing on, there was a downward passage, and from the moment he crossed the threshold, he could feel the enemies hidden around him. The hostility was only strong, and it was almost turned into substance.

Do you think of yourself as a nobleman of Stormwind? What a bunch of ridiculous people, they can't even recognize the sword and rose emblem.

Du Teng ignored these people hiding in the shadows, and he quickly went deep into the ground under the guidance of a groveling middle-aged man.

Along the way, he could see the family of the stonemasons, including sallow-faced women, yellow-faced and thin-skinned children, and many strong young men with cold faces. These people live in stone caves as families, and they do not see the sun in middle age, especially the children, whose hair is a little dry, which is a sign of lack of nutrition.

Although the current Defiya has begun to rob the travelers around her, and her life is much better than before, she is middle-aged and can't stand it anymore. Anyway, Du Teng can't stand it.

When passing by a stone cave, he saw a little child, or rather a little girl, wearing a pink skirt, holding a wooden sword against the wall to link the slashing skills, looking at the serious expression on her little face, and then looking at her thin arm that seemed to be broken with his fingers, Du Teng didn't know what to remember.

He stretched out his hand, took out a money bag from his bosom and put it in Du Teng's hand.

Du Teng checked it, there were about a hundred gold coins, and then he turned his head to look at the middle-aged man next to him.

"What about her parents?"

"Well, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, her father has been executed in Stormwind City, her mother has also been attacked by coyotes and is now missing, this little girl has been being supported by the people around her, but we can only provide her with the most basic food."

The middle-aged man replied honestly.

Du Teng was stunned when he heard this, looked at the little girl again, and then walked over.

The little girl heard the movement and felt someone coming towards her, and finally turned her attention away from the training. When he saw a man wearing a gorgeous armor and following the guards walking towards her, her first reaction was not to run away, but to clench the wooden sword and rush straight over.

"The movements are not standard, and the strength is equal to no ......" Du Teng easily grabbed the little girl's arm, and then he squatted down and looked at the little girl with a smile, "You are a little ghost, you don't even have the strength to cut through my skin, who gave you such the guts to attack a nobleman?" ”

"Phew!"

The little girl spit out Du Teng vigorously, and her saliva sprayed his face.

"All the nobles deserve to die, sooner or later, I will kill all of you scum of Stormwind!"

The voice is very immature, but the hatred is very strong, and the clear eyes are full of murderous intent.

Du Teng shook his head when he heard this, "Then I may be about to disappoint you, I am not a nobleman of Stormwind City, have you heard of Gilneth?" ”

"What's that?"

The little girl asked inexplicably.

"One of the Seven Kingdoms of Mankind...... Okay, it's the same place as Stormwind, but we're a little better than Stormwind. ”

Du Teng replied with a smile.

"That's a bunch of damn nobles, too!"

The little girl immediately scolded.

Du Teng shook his head, "In fact, we and Stormwind are currently in a hostile relationship, otherwise why do you think I am here?" Okay, I'll tell you clearly, seeing you reminds me of my past. Come with me, and I will give you a life that no one else can give, and at the same time, I will find the most powerful teacher for you. Are you looking for Stormwind pay? No problem, when you become strong enough, I will arrange a battle between you and Stormwind, how about the King of Stormwind? Kill him and pay for your father! ”

At this moment, Du Teng, like a demon, put away his ugly fangs, and tempted this little girl with his hypocritical side.
