Rewind the clock to fifteen minutes before the explosion.

Stormwind, the prison gate.

Several soldiers stood solemnly at their duty posts in front of the prison, their eyes not squinting, their bodies straight, and standing in the most standard military posture.

Even if it is not the most elite combat power of Stormwind City, the combat effectiveness of the prison defenders of Stormwind City should not be underestimated.

At least it is quite enough to deal with ordinary bandits.

It's just that this is a prison, and they do more often than the work of jailers, not the army.

Therefore, for these soldiers, duty is not a particularly important thing. At least since the establishment of Stormwind Prison, no prisoner has been able to escape from this small fortress.

Prison escapes do not exist, and the city is heavily guarded, and no one dares to mess around here, so it is impossible for anyone to rob the prison.

Therefore, most of the soldiers on duty are just routine, and the reason why they are standing so straight at this time is because a nobleman has come to inspect today.

No matter how lazy you usually are, you still have to act like a soldier when facing the nobles, after all, this kind of thing is not unique to the earth.

Although the nobles of Stormwind do not necessarily have official positions, their status as nobles is the greatest power in itself.

Especially a big nobleman like Count Garnier, who came to inspect today, his status is also one that few people can match in the entire Stormwind City.

Although there were rumors that the Count Garnier had a secret deal with the Defia Brotherhood of the Wild West, it was only a whispered gossip behind the scenes, and no one had ever been able to really find his handle.

On the other hand, when the status reaches the level of Count Garnier, it is no longer something that can be defeated by ordinary power dumping.

He is a force to be reckoned with in Stormwind, with his own supporters and a staggered number of people. It is difficult for even a king to make up his mind to move him.

So even if he made some gray profits, the king and the rest of the city mostly chose to turn a blind eye and did not want to tear their faces with him.

After all, stability is the most important thing.

In the final analysis, power is nothing more than the exchange and dumping of interests.

If the benefits are enough, you can fight to the death.

The benefits are not enough. Everyone can laugh at the surface of the knife and live in harmony.

It's just that for everyone, the line that is related to the boundary of interests is different. Many times you think that you will not touch the line, but it is likely to be the most untouchable scale of the other party, so the two sides who were originally friendly immediately kill you to the death.

So when Count Garnier walked into the halls of the prison with his entourage, they were stopped.

The other party is an agent of MI7, the spokesman of the king's power, the head of the Stormwind Assassin group, and many nobles regard him as a great thief who is a thorn in the flesh. Shore.

When the other party came from all sides with MI7 agents and prison soldiers, Garnier's face became gloomy as he looked around the encirclement.

"Mr. Shore. What do you want to do? ”

Looking at the ambushers with unkind expressions angrily, Count Garnier's expression was very cold, and the majesty of the high-ranking person was unobstructed, "Do you MI7 want to do anything to me?" ”

Madias at the front of the crowd. Shore spread his hands, looking very innocent.

"I'm just acting on orders, and I ask the Earl to cooperate."

"With what?"

"Cooperate with us in catching the traitor."

Garnier's expression was furious, "Where did the traitor come from?" Are you saying that I, Garnier, am a traitor? ”

Shore laughed, "Of course not the Earl. ”

The dagger in his hand flung lightly. Pointing to a figure behind Garnier, he smiled. "We're talking about the traitor who wears the cloak."

Then, in Garnier's ugly expression, Shore laughed heartily, and old friends laughed heartily when they were reunited.

"Welcome, Miss Vanessa of the Brotherhood. Thanks to your care, my subordinates who worked in the western wilderness are doing well, and I heard that I am coming to see you. They are all excitedly asking me to bring you a message. ”

Looking at the mysterious figure hidden in Count Garnier and his party, Shore smiled word by word and said, "They say, I wish you a long life in hell." ”

Qiang Qiang -

The cold sound of the sword coming out of its sheath instantly enveloped the place with a cold killing intent. Countless MI7 agents gritted their teeth and looked at the figure in the crowd, full of murderous energy.

In the air that cooled down in an instant, the eyebrows of Count Garnier, who was at the forefront, jumped sharply, and his scalp tingled.

He subconsciously took a step back and retreated into the crowd, as if that would give him a faint sense of security.

And as he retreated, the mysterious figure in the crowd was no longer hidden, and he walked out calmly, coming to the front of the team, alone in the face of the cold killing intent of the entire MI7 agent elite at the same time.

At that moment, the eyes of the entire prison hall were focused on the figure, and it seemed that even the air was heavy and suppressed.

Under the cloak, there was a chuckle, which directly broke the dull atmosphere of the scene and brought some warmth to everyone in the encirclement.

"Uncle Shore, don't come unharmed."

In front of the crowd, the woman gently removed the cloak from her head, and a head of black hair appeared in everyone's field of vision. With the calm of the leader of the Brotherhood of Defia, Vanessa chuckled, "Last time I said goodbye to the Wild West, I didn't expect us to meet again so soon. ”

Shore's eyes widened, a little surprised.

"You ......"

He held the dagger in his hand, and was a little stunned at this face, "It's actually you......"

He didn't expect that the kind girl he met in the Western Wilderness was actually the head of the Brotherhood and the source of the Western Wilderness rebellion.

If I knew this, I should have killed her in the first place to prevent future troubles.

Thinking like this in his heart, Shore was not too annoyed. Anyway, today's siege and killing has been completed, and today's killing is the same.

So he shook his head and sighed.

"I was deceived by you."

When he said this, Vanessa didn't try to defend herself, she just looked at the head of MI7. He shook his head with a light smile.

"Uncle Shore, it's hard for you. Even the secret news that we are going to rob the prison today can be obtained, and it seems that the king did not raise a group of rice buckets. ”

Looking at the murderous encirclement around her, in the midst of it, Vanessa's face did not have the slightest fear, and it was always the kind of smile and calm indifference.

"It's a pity that your arrangement is still a little hasty. It seems that you didn't get this news long ago, and you didn't have enough time to set a trap, otherwise you wouldn't have killed it in such a hurry. ”

Shore frowned, and with an ominous premonition in his heart, he gave the order abruptly.

"Don't give them a chance to stall, leave no one behind! Kill them all! ”

The order to kill instantly resounded throughout the prison hall, and all the soldiers who heard the order moved one after another, killing the people in the encirclement in an orderly manner.

Even though there are big nobles in the crowd who they can't afford to offend, but now the military order. They also had to listen.

What's more, after the traitors who colluded with the Brotherhood attempted to rob the prison, no one believed that Count Garnier would survive after such a charge was made public. Even if he doesn't die here today, the king will attack him in the future.

All around, the soldiers in the prison were murderous, and the sword light seeped through people.

During the siege, the people belonging to the Defia thieves also drew their weapons one after another. Trying to resist.

The moment the two sides were about to make contact, Vanessa's chuckle suddenly sounded in the crowd. Let the ominous premonition in Shore's heart become real.

"I hope that after your death, the king will be kind to your family."

In the next second, a roar that did not look like a human suddenly came out of the crowd, like a wild beast out of its cage.

Sila-

With the sound of their clothes shattered by brute force, several figures in the encirclement swelled violently, and then revealed the most hideous individual appearance in front of everyone.

It is up to three meters tall. A stout body with two juxtaposed heads...... What appeared in front of everyone was such a few monsters that did not look like humans, bringing the most terrifying impact to the people of Stormwind City.

"Food...... Ogre! ”

With its terrifying size and iconic appearance, it is one of the most dangerous individuals in the wild of Azeroth, a savage species known as the Ogre.

This alien species from Draenor has taken root in the world of Azeroth for the past decade or so. With their terrifying brute force, they conquered and killed many other species, and have long since become a true murderer in the eyes of humans.

The ogres in front of them were different from ordinary ogres, they were bigger, and they had two heads that ordinary ogres did not have, which were the most distinctive features of the ogre race......

"Two-headed ogre!"

Shore looked at the tall two-headed ogres with an ugly expression, gritted his teeth, and roared, "Set fire to those ogres for me!" ”

However, this order was issued somewhat belated.

By the time the archers around them were about to unleash their arrows, the two-headed ogres in the crowd had raised their hands and let out angry roars.

Boom Boom

In the red blazing firelight, a violent explosion resounded throughout the Stormwind City prison, and a huge fireball instantly flooded the position of the archers, and in the raging wave set off by the explosion of the magic storm, countless stumps and broken arms flew out, and blood splattered everywhere.

Because he didn't expect the appearance of these two-headed ogres, Stormwind didn't send a mage on his side, so he paid the heaviest price at the first time of the fight.

Looking at the devastated archer position after the explosion, Shore gritted his teeth and roared.

"Retreat! Withdraw! Withdraw! Exit them all! Get out of here! ”

By the time the words fell, he had already fled towards the exit with the MI7 agents.

The two-headed ogre who is proficient in magic is an outlier among ogres, and in the absence of a magician on his side, and in this narrow terrain, the power of all kinds of magic will be maximized, and it will only be a waste of life to stay.

Therefore, Shore decisively chose to flee, unwilling to meet the other party here again.

However, the guards in the prison did not have his keen observation, and because it was not the same system, these guards were a little distrustful of Shore's orders.

It wasn't until Shore and the others had fled, and the prison warden ordered them to follow, that the guards chased after them in a panic.

The delay was not long, it could even be said to be less than three seconds.

However, on the battlefield, these three seconds are enough time to become the perfect time for the Fatal Scythe to harvest wildly.

In the center of the human wall where Vanessa and the others gathered, the two-headed ogre mages who were protected roared and waved the magic orbs in their hands. became a spell turret, unscrupulously smashing the magic in his hands at the unresponsive prison guards.

Boom, boom, boom

In a series of violent noises, the entire Stormwind City prison shook wildly.

At the same time, there were painful wails and screams of the jailers who could not escape. In the midst of the stumps and severed arms and the flying of blood, a huge prison hall instantly turned into a bloody scene of hell, and countless corpse fragments were scattered in the center of the hall. There were large holes in the walls, ceilings, and even floors.

When everything calmed down, Vanessa ignored the aristocratic Garnier, who had turned pale with fright, and rushed directly into the dark staircase below the prison with several of her most elite subordinates.

There, the entire Stormwind City prisoners were held, and all of them were some of the most vicious criminals.

As for those who remained in the hall, they began to clean up the battlefield, finding and killing the surviving jailers one by one, eliminating any possibility of the other side finding an opportunity to sneak attack.

Three minutes later, Stormwind prison fell and the inmates rioted. Countless vicious criminals poured into the streets, frantically trying to escape a way out.

However, what greeted them outside the prison was the coldest blow of the Third Legion.

"Shoot them!"

In the grim voice of the commander of the Third Army, a rain of arrows flooded the streets in front of the prison.

Whoa, who

The sound of the bowstring shaking the air was dense and terrifying, and the rain of arrows that fell instantly took the lives of a dozen people who rushed to the front, and the rest of the criminals could only retreat behind the prison gate, watching the heavily armed army outside and gritting their teeth.

Because of the haste of preparations, Shore did not set too many soldiers to surround and kill him. After all, no one would think that the Brotherhood of Defia would be very difficult to deal with the people who were preparing to rob the prison, and at most they could solve the other party by putting the siege in place.

The reason why a squad of 200 people was arranged to surround the prison. It's just out of professional habit of prudence, I don't want to add to the accident, and I don't want to let the fish that slip through the net escape.

He didn't expect that a back road that had been laid out at that time would now play a decisive role.

Looking at the gnashing criminals behind the prison gate, Shore rubbed his eyebrows, a little happy.

"It's okay......"

glanced at an old friend beside him. Shore laughed, "It's good that you guy is idle and bored, and came here to participate in this operation, otherwise I would have died if I released the criminals of this entire prison." ”

Eugene, the commander of the Third Legion, glanced at him. frowned, "They told you to be cautious, but you didn't listen." We shouldn't have given each other a chance, we should have taken them down when they were in prison. ”

Shore was a little helpless, "I just want to arrest it safely in a closed environment, so as to eliminate the possibility of someone taking advantage of the chaos to break through." Who knew they had a two-headed ogre hiding in their ranks......"

The confined environment of the prison hall is indeed very suitable for rounding up the enemy—provided that it is a one-sided slaughter if you have the advantage of your own forces.

However, with the appearance of those two-headed ogre mages, the battlefield that was originally suitable for capture instantly became a killing field most suitable for magic harvesting life.

In the absence of a mage on their side, the combat power exerted by several two-headed ogre mages in the hall was unstoppable, and they could only escape.

Therefore, they gave the other party the opportunity to release all the criminals in the prison, making this originally sure siege situation confusing.

After all, in order not to attract attention, although the other party can enter the prison with few people, there are definitely a lot of people who are arranged outside the prison to be responsible for receiving them. Coupled with the criminals who were coerced and released by them at this time, coupled with the manpower that the other party had arranged in advance on the periphery, the two sides should cooperate with each other, and at this time, the three hundred people on this long street are afraid that it will be difficult to control the situation.

So looking at the longing shadows of the criminals behind the prison gate from a distance, Xiao Er sighed and rubbed his eyebrows, extremely distressed.

"Hurry up and call more people, we must hold this place before the army arrives, and we must not let these criminals escape!"

This is how the order was passed down, but the direction of the matter was actually out of Shore's control from the moment the two-headed ogres appeared.

As soon as his voice fell, before Eugene beside him could respond, a terrifying explosion sounded not far from them, earth-shattering.

Boom Boom

The dense explosion directly lifted the entire street into the air, and countless stumps and severed arms flew out.

It was the gunpowder that had been planted by the Brotherhood of Defia, and now it detonated in an instant, directly tearing through the defenses of the Third Legion, sending all the soldiers who were waiting on this street into the darkest world, and no one survived.

Black smoke rose into the sky, and a terrible sound shook the entire city, and half of the city heard the terrible explosion in a terrible tremor like a comet meteorite hitting the earth.

At that moment, people put down what they were doing, walked out of their houses, and walked out onto the street, all of them looking up at a black column of smoke rising in the direction of the prison, and they couldn't figure out what was happening.

However, in this city that has always been peaceful and orderly, a bloody killing and chaotic battle did happen.

Unexpectedly, the thieves of the Brotherhood of Defia rushed into the Stormwind prison with the most domineering posture, tearing through all the prison's defenses, and then angrily detonated the gunpowder that had been buried for a long time, blowing up a long street.

The war began. (To be continued......)
