Chapter 24 Our Cause Is Just

I don't know if it was due to the previous riots, the atmosphere on the street has become tense these days. Guards patrolled more intensively, and checkpoints were set up at various crossings.

The guards also posted wanted notices on bulletin boards at various street corners, and Oster watched through the crowd and saw a notice about himself.

It reads, the red-haired thug, about 5 feet 3 inches tall, attacked the pickets in the knight's collar, robbed the serfs, stole the war horses, and offered a reward of 300 gold. There are crooked portraits painted next to it, although it looks like stick figures, not to mention quite expressive.

Knowing that he was wanted, Oster was even a little complacent. The bounty of 300 seems to be not low, and the income of the residents of the town is only about one or two gold for a day's work. Until he saw a notice on the side of the wanted red-masked bandits;

According to the wanted notice, bandits have raided state warehouses in recent days, robbing a large number of magical materials and military food reserves. These people wear red masks, commit crimes in gangs, use contraband weapons, are very dangerous, and those who find them should immediately notify the Kingdom Legion in the Western Regions. The reward for providing the exact clue is 500, and the reward for killing or arresting one of them is 5,000.

Oster was a little disappointed, he was worth so much, less than a tenth of the horse bandits. Listening to the whispers of onlookers, this group of red-masked bandits did not rob small merchants and citizens, but singled out the warehouses of the church and the kingdom, as well as the wealthy people who had close ties with the government. Moreover, at dawn, they will distribute the looted food and materials near the camp in the suburbs, and let the victims take them;

Officers and soldiers dispatched many encirclement and suppression, but this group of bandits always came and went without a trace. Older people say that these people are just like a certain brotherhood that roamed the west many years ago, except for the red masks, the engineering puppets and bombs they used that were banned by the kingdom were the emblems of the Brotherhood of Craftsmen back then.

As soon as Oster heard it, Red Mask, Brotherhood, isn't this the famous villain Defia in the game? This thief organization, which has been driven by players thousands of times, is actually a group of righteous bandits who rob the rich and help the poor in reality. It seems that the chronicle is really upside down black and white, distorting right and wrong to the point of complete success.

Although he was a little resentful, Oster thought about it, what does this have to do with him as a traverser? Whether Defia and the officers and soldiers are good or bad will not affect the code of conduct of the Fourth Natural Calamity, whoever gives the task is an NPC, and whoever drops equipment is blamed;

Before Defia's leader, Van Cleef, was screaming "You're being used!" before being quacked out by the player. "Our cause is just!" But what's the use, as soon as the history books change, they are still rebels and thieves. As for yourself, you don't care about it, you don't have to participate, you just need to make money with peace of mind.

On this day, Oster was still performing in the streets, when a large group of heavily armed officers and soldiers suddenly arrived, and arrested the young man at sight.

These soldiers were all silver-plated enchanted armor, runic swords and shields, with scroll guns in their hands, and huge steam tanks. At a glance, you can see that it is not at the same level as the previous lords and town guards, and it is the regular army of the kingdom.

The officer stood at the corner of the street and read the king's decree aloud, saying that every able-bodied descendant of the Titans of the right age must respond to the edict of the Holy Light and the great god king Odin and go to the north to support the war between the Protoss and the evil legions.

According to the announcement that Oster had seen on the bulletin board earlier, due to the recent tightening of the Northern Expedition front, the Kingdom Parliament has passed a new garrison law, stipulating that all registered male citizens must report to the territorial barracks within a limited time. That is, the conscription system has changed to a compulsory military system.

Soon the soldiers captured a large number of young men, dressed them in large blue flowers symbolizing the kingdom of Stormwind, and stuffed them into carriages labeled "Glory of the Northern Expedition". It can be seen from the howls of the people who fled and hid, and were caught before they had time to escape, that the people did not think that this was a glorious and good errand;

Suddenly, chickens and dogs jumped on the street, and there was a miserable situation of separation of flesh and blood and separation of wives and wives everywhere.

Oster already knew that the Northrend version of the world line was never over, mixed with the events of the Cataclysm. The Northern Expedition had been fought for more than four years, and the purpose was not to seek revenge on Alsace, but to support the Titans of Ulduar. The entire kingdom is mired in war and exhausted. But he never thought that he would catch himself on the head;

Seeing that there were soldiers coming up on both sides, and they couldn't run, Oster simply squatted down, grabbed a handful of dirt and smeared it on his face, and pretended to limp with a bamboo pole. When the officers and soldiers passed by, they jumped up and hugged the heels of the people, their mouths were crooked, their eyes were slanted, and they said with a harass, "Okay, good, so hungry, give, give a bowl of rice to eat, eat......

Then he was kicked to the wall by the soldier in disgust, "Where is the fool, get out of here." ”

The goal was achieved, and Oster shrank in the corner to watch the play. There were also several brothers who were also pretending to be disabled and fools. When there was nothing to do, everyone began to chat;

One person said, "The undead army of the Super Brain King is not a vegetarian, the Titan God King has been beaten so much that he can't hold his head up, how can the mortal army be cannon fodder." The other alliance countries are all passive and slacking off, only Stormwind City has gone all the way to the depths, and was beaten by the army led by the Prince of Arthas at the Gate of Damnation, and even the commander-in-chief, the Grand Duke of Fortagen, was captured. ”

Another person said, "I don't understand, half of the reason why the Kingdom of Stormwind is in chaos now is due to the bottomless pit of the Northern Expedition. Why is Your Majesty so enthusiastic, didn't you still think about disarmament in the early years? ”

At this time, a well-informed old man with a shiny head interjected, "You don't understand this, His Majesty Varian was the first to respond to the edict of the Northern Expedition and support the Titans at any cost, for one reason, the supreme king of the Holy Titan Alliance." ”

The first two asked, "What do you mean by that?" ”

Brother Liang said unhurriedly, "You think, King Terenus was stripped of the title of High King by the Pope because he initiated the Reformation, but his son Prince Arthas is still the first in line to the throne. Although the prince never accepted it, and later in order to avenge his father, all the churches in Lordaeron were suddenly abrupt, but there was never an official announcement announcing that the heir to the throne would be replaced. ”

The first person suddenly realized and said, "Yes, now the Pope of Light has withdrawn to the Stormwind Kingdom, and Prince Arthas has taken refuge in the Demon Legion and has become the general under the Superbrain King. If His Majesty Varian defeats him and recovers the Northern Diocese, not to mention that he is the heir to the Supreme King, even the new Pope is estimated to be the best candidate. ”

A few old brothers, you say a word to me, Oster has benefited a lot, and I can't help but sigh; At any time, in any world, listening to the old man on the street is the only way to get news.

But there were many terms that he was very puzzled about, so he asked; "What, I'm sorry, what's the 'Super Brain King', isn't it the Lich King?" What the hell is Holy Titan Alliance'? Isn't the Alliance an organization formed to fight the orc invasion? ”
