For the next two days I walked around his camp, which was hidden in the mountains and was completely different from what I had imagined. Originally, I thought it was like a refugee camp, but the scale and architecture are really good!

It's not a town, it's a big village at best. But the strange thing is that the people here don't seem to feel miserable at all. Men, women, the elderly, and even children.

They were farming, cultivating, and breeding in the mountains, and who would have thought that the leader here would be the most wanted criminal in the whole country.

Edwin told me that these people were all family members of the Masonry Brotherhood, and because they were wanted, most of them had fled, but soon after they escaped, they found that this kind of fugitive life was absolutely impossible, and under Edwin's instructions and guidance, everyone secretly contacted the family members in batches.

After receiving the information, some of their family members were willing to go with them, so they went to twilight, and then they were taken to the west one by one. Of course, some reluctant Edwin will also give the man some money and let him deal with it himself.

And those who came to the west, although it was very difficult at first, there was nothing, but they persevered, rebuilt their homes among the barren mountains and mountains, and started a new life.

Looking at the smiles on their faces, I felt an indescribable emotion suddenly arise in my heart. Edwin's serious face also showed a knowing smile when he looked at them.

"After the king is lost, there may be more hunts for you." I say.

Edwin shook his head, "It's never been a lot. ”

"Didn't they come west?"

"I've been here." Edwin stood on a hill and looked out at the mountains in the distance. "But they all failed."

"You've had a fierce fight with them here?"

"Fierce battles?" He looked at me in surprise, "How could you have such an idea?" ”

"Didn't you say they failed? Didn't you kill them back? ”

"Hmph, of course not." Edwin crouched on the ground and pulled a dry piece of grass out of the ground. "Do you know what it takes to survive in a place like this?"

I shook my head.

He held up the grass in his hand, "It's loyalty and unity." ”

These two words strike me a little ...... It's too generic and uninspiring, so I just smiled.

"You don't seem to approve of what I'm saying."

"No, I haven't been here, I don't know."

"Our identity determines how we live." He said. "Without loyalty, absolute loyalty will be like a plate of loose sand, which will be disintegrated in an instant." He stared into my eyes, "They don't need to think, they just need to obey, and then execute, to the letter." ”

I squinted and looked at his face and nodded.

"And then there's unity, solidarity with each other." He lifted the roots of the grass before me. "We're family."

"What about those overseas?" I asked softly.

The grass was still in his hands between me and Edwin, and he looked into my eyes, and I looked at his face. "Grass grows in the ground because it has not only the above-ground parts, but also the underground root system." He shook it slightly, "All of them are indispensable." ”

"To not be pulled out, the above-ground part needs to be there, but it doesn't need to be too big. It's all about its ...... Root! ”

"The lives of our Brotherhood are lowly and wicked in the eyes of the king." He clutched the grass in his hands, "but I'll show him how tenacious these mustard lives are and how they turn the country upside down." His eyes were unusually determined, "Blood for blood, tooth for tooth!" ”

"He'll see it with his own eyes." Edwin returned to his composure.

I nodded.

The size of this village is okay, and what surprised me the most was that there was an iron-smelting place in this place, a forging workshop! Of course, these were in a cave on a gentle hill in the south of the village, so that there was no smoke outside.

When I asked them where the smelted metal came from, Edwin just smiled and said that it was dug up in the ground!

That means they even have a mining team! Looking at my astonishment, he said disdainfully that I had forgotten my old job. This is really something I definitely didn't expect!

And when I asked Vanessa about it, he said she was coming back soon, and she would come back for two days every month, and I asked where she was, and Edwin told me she was going to school in town.

I asked, isn't that town deserted? Edwin said, not that, it's a place called Mooncreek. The town I clashed with them was called Rolling Grass, and it was abandoned for a long time.

That's when I realized that the place called Moonstream Town was actually the sphere of influence of the Defia Brotherhood.

Meaning...... That town is covered by the Brotherhood!

During the westward migration of the Masonry Brotherhood, the town gradually developed during the rebuilding of the Stormwind Kingdom, and the first refugees fled from Stormwind and surrounding villages and towns.

Because there is a river, a lake and fresh water, people want to settle in this area, but there are a lot of gnolls in this area, and later people organize an army to clean up those gnolls and live here. And of course the result is ...... Lost.

The humans abandoned the place, but after the liberation of Stormwind, the people who came to appease them wanted people to return to their homes, some went back, some stayed. Because they were all subjects of the kingdom, the royal soldiers launched an attack on the gnolls and successfully defeated them.

This created the conditions for the later people to establish a larger foothold in this vicinity, and it was also on this basis that human beings settled here and formed the original Yuexi Town. But where there are people, there will inevitably be some contradictions and unfairness. Later, some people left Yuexi Town and founded another town further west, which was Rolling Grass Town.

There was a lot of wind and sand, and there was fresh water at that time, but the town was also built, and some people came, but the resources, especially the water resources, were depleted after a major drought one year. It was later abandoned. But then it was said to be haunted. Let it be false, and it will be completely abandoned.

But after the Masonry Brotherhood arrived, some of the methods that Edwin demonstrated in grass, light and gray, thunder and rain, gradually took control of the place. Mines were found in the mountains south of the town of Mooncreek, and the Brotherhood expanded the work after taking control of the mining rights and mines. After all, they used to do this job.

So soon business here is getting really good! The population here is growing, and it has become one of the largest towns in the western region.

Because at that time I had only heard and didn't see how big the town was, but I just listened to Edwin tell the history, and it felt like it was big in his language. Because of this town as a cover, the Brotherhood is making a lot of money here!

You heard it right! At that time, it was called the Masonry Brotherhood! It wasn't even an accident at that time! It was also when Edwin was in the Stormwind Kingdom. I don't know anything about it!

Of course, this also provides the best cover for the Brotherhood to move to this neighborhood in the future!

Edwin is still proud!

The mayor, sheriff, and councillor of Moonbrook Town are either from the Brotherhood or are pulled into the water by the Brotherhood! The common people beg for a living here, but it's not Stormwind that controls them.

During the period when the Brotherhood had just had an accident, Edwin still wanted to observe and observe, and did not move westward in a big way, this is the rear of the Brotherhood! A real lair.

And after my accident, after Elizabeth's death, Edwin fled west with the remnants. However, the announcement order issued by Moonstream Town was to fully cooperate with all the work and arrangements of Stormwind City.

Of course, these were all illusions, and Edwin told them to do so.

And why didn't Edwin live in the town, but instead came to this barren mountain...... As I saw the overflowing gratitude and affection for Edwin from those people, I suddenly knew why.

It's me who underestimates him too much!

And Edwin's daughter went to school in this town.

I asked Edwin if you were really that relieved? Guess what he said? Half of the people in that town were Brotherhood people. He asked me to guess how many people there were in that town. I'm only 20,000, 30,000, 40,000! He smiled and didn't reply to me.

I've been here for a week, and I've seen some of the old guys from before, but the guys around Edwin aren't there, and although I don't remember what they looked like, I was still impressed by their figures.

That afternoon, all the dogs in the village suddenly barked, and then they all ran to the entrance of the village. Watching dozens of dogs in the village gallop out in a hurry, I thought something was wrong.

Edwin laughed and told me that she was back!
