Chapter 332: Van Cleve's Sneak Attack
"I'm heading to Stormwind, Captain Genset."
"Where are you going next? Is it safe on the road? ”
After a brief greeting, Wayne took the opportunity to tell him where he was going.
He could see that the guards seemed to be escorting a shipment of supplies, with a lot of armor and weapons, as well as some medical supplies, which should not have been sent to Stormwind.
Since the destinations of the two sides are likely to be different, then explain it in advance to avoid misunderstandings.
When Captain Gensett heard this, he said with regret:
"What a pity, Mr. Wayne."
"We're escorting a shipment of military supplies to the Sentinel Collar to support the guards there."
"If we could invite a powerful adventurer like you to join us, it would be much safer."
"At present, the guards of the western wilderness are fighting fiercely against the Defiya bandits, but because of the large number of Defiya bandits, the number of guards is far from enough, so they can only retreat within the Sentinel Territory to protect the people there."
"The most odious thing is that the supplies of the noble council have not been delivered for a long time, and the unequipped guards are really difficult to resist the attack of the Difia bandits."
"The military supplies we are escorting now were urgently transferred from other troops by Marshal Reginald Windsor, and must be delivered to those guards."
At this, a hint of gloom flashed across Captain Gencett's face.
The news of their escort of this batch of supplies should be known to very few people, and it is not a common trade route chosen, and now they have just entered the western wilderness, and they have been ambushed by the bandits of the Brotherhood of Defia, which is obviously not a coincidence, and it is difficult not to be suspicious.
If it weren't for the help of a master like Wayne this time, even if these soldiers could win, they would probably have suffered heavy losses.
"It's getting late, Mr. Wayne, it's hard to travel at night, so let's wait until we pack up the battlefield and camp around here tonight."
"I've brought some of my own wines, and I can invite you to taste them."
Wayne was about to refuse when he heard this, with his strength, what is it to rush at night, even if there are monsters along the way, he can directly kill through the road and get to where he wants to go, why waste time here.
However, just as he was about to speak, a yin wind suddenly came from behind him, and he felt a trace of coldness at the position of his neck, and a sharp dagger actually silently came to a position less than a meter away from his back, and launched a sneak attack on him.
Wayne was shocked by this situation, and for the sake of caution, he immediately activated his flickering ability to avoid the attack, and his body appeared in the air seven or eight meters behind him, and the figure that attacked him was also reflected in his eyes.
This is a burly middle-aged man wearing a black mask and a close-fitting wallet.
He held a sharp short sword in each hand, bowed his body slightly, and the dark leather armor almost blended in with the environment, obviously he had come to the vicinity of the crowd, but several guards around Wayne did not notice the trace of this person.
He was a powerful assassin and could use the ability to hide his body.
With this judgment in mind, Wayne immediately reached out and took out the Sword of Victory of the Oath from the ring, and at the same time used the arm crossbow in his left hand to release an arrow at the man's back.
The power of the Adamantite Arm Crossbow was amazing, and the distance of seven or eight meters came in an instant.
However, the strength of the middle-aged man who assassinated Wayne was also quite terrifying, after discovering that the sneak attack was missed and the target disappeared instantly, he didn't seem to think about it at all, and his body immediately turned into an afterimage, leaving his original position at a very fast speed, directly avoiding the crossbow arrows shot by Wayne.
But now that his traces have been discovered, how could Wayne let him escape.
Immediately after landing, he pulled out a North Wind Bomb and threw it in the direction the Assassin had left, blocking his escape route, and then rushed towards him with all his feet.
With a thud, the North Wind Bomb instantly froze an area, but the middle-aged assassin was cautious and escaped before the freeze could get close to him.
However, Wayne's speed was faster than him, and when he was delayed by the North Wind Bomb, he had already chased after him, and the two-handed greatsword more than a meter long in his hand slashed down heavily, and after being dodged by the assassin, he directly split a huge gap in the ground.
Although the Assassin was quite adept at dodging and counterattacking, he quickly fell to the upper hand in the face of Wayne's formidable power.
However, even if he was at a disadvantage, this assassin did not show defeat, he seemed to be very afraid of Wayne's strength, the short sword in his hand did not collide with Wayne's two-handed sword at all, and the burly body was like a juggler, turning and moving, always avoiding Wayne's attack just right, and his combat power should not be underestimated.
And just as the two of them were fighting, the soldiers, including Genset, also reacted, quickly surrounding the space where the two were fighting, blocking the back path of the assassin's escape.
After seeing the Assassin's outfit, Gensett, the captain of the guard, shouted in surprise:
"Edwin. Van Cleef, is it him? ”
"Mr. Wayne, he is the leader of the Brotherhood of Defia, and he is currently the most wanted bandit by Storm."
Wayne, who was fighting with the assassins, was slightly surprised when he heard this, he didn't expect that he would meet a famous person in the World of Warcraft so quickly.
Edwin. Van Cleef is the leader of the Defia Brotherhood and the final boss of the Death Mine, and is also well-known among gamers.
According to the story in the game, this bandit leader is not actually a bad guy, he was originally the president of the Stormwind Stonemasons' Guild, and during the reconstruction of Stormwind, he led the craftsmen of the Brotherhood of Death to help the nobles build the majestic Stormwind City.
However, under the planning of the countess disguised by the Black Dragon Princess, the Brotherhood of Stonemasons became the party owed wages, working for several years in vain, but unable to get their due salary from the nobles, and all became poor households.
To make matters worse, the Black Dragon Countess fanned the flames between the two sides, which soon provoked a response from the Brotherhood of Stonemasons, and clashes with the official guards, triggering a popular uprising, and killing King Varian's queen Tiffin in the conflict.
At this point, all the members of the Brotherhood of Masons became wanted criminals and had to flee to the Wild West, where they became the Brotherhood of Defia.
And the original president of the Brotherhood of Stonemasons has become the current bandit leader, Edwin. Van Cleef.
However, such stories can only be regarded as ordinary for Wayne, and there are many worse things than this in the wizarding world, which does not make him sympathize with him.
Moreover, over the years, the Brotherhood of Defia has changed from simple craftsmen to real bandits, taking in a large number of ruffians and hooligans, and doing all the bad things in the western wilderness, which is already deserved.
It just so happens that this guy is now a well-known wanted criminal in Stormwind, and what Wayne lacks now is a stepping stone.
If he captures this bandit, he will soon be able to transform from an unknown adventurer to a well-known figure in Stormwind, and perhaps some of his actions will be more convenient in the future.
Thinking of this, Wayne didn't release the water, and took advantage of the moment when Van Cleef dodged his attack, and directly took out a test tube of the North Wind Bomb and crushed it.
White freezing air instantly enveloped the witcher, enveloping both Wayne and Van Cleef, forming a thin layer of ice on the surface of their bodies.
Then, almost at the same time, the ice on Wayne's body shattered, and his strong body was almost immune to this level of frostbite, although it was still quite uncomfortable, but it did not affect his agility in the slightest.
The huge fist quickly swung out and slammed into Van Cleef's chest, knocking his body directly into a frozen state, and then slammed into the ground, spitting out a large mouthful of blood.
Unlike a superhuman fighter like Wayne, Van Cleef, despite his physical strength, focuses more on agility and explosiveness than on defense.
The frostbite of the North Wind bomb and Wayne's hard punch had already made the man incapacitated.
If it weren't for the fact that the witcher didn't attack with all his might, maybe the punch that hit the chest would have directly pierced the already frozen Van Cleef in the chest and killed his dog.
But even so, the damage was already quite serious, and the leader of the Brotherhood of Defia, the famous Master Assassin, was knocked to the ground, staring at Wayne with round eyes.
His lips squirmed a few times, but he didn't speak, but spat out another mouthful of cold blood and fainted.
