Chapter 39: The Witcher

Just as the Dawn State Autonomy Movement is on the brink of despair under the blows of the Undead Corps, a group that appears along the Upwind Trail and calls itself the Witchers changes the course of history.

The weapons and magic in their hands can easily animate zombies and prevent corpses from coming back to life. The leader was an unusually tall foreigner named Makzar, who is described in some wild histories as a red-skinned Draenei.

There is very little information about these witchers, except that they are hunting down a traitor who has committed a heinous crime, hiding in a tower hidden by magical energy in the depths of the upwind path.

Without any other basis, the author of Star Eternals assumed that they must be connected to the Burning Legion based solely on the trajectories of their actions, and the demonic sorcery and equipment they possessed;

And the traitor they hunted down was probably the former royal archmage whose fiefdom was on the Windwind Trail, Mediven Elan. This man was originally a Burning Legion spy and the culprit who opened the giant astral portal and attracted the orc refugees to plague Azeroth;

But then, during the three wars, Medivan's temperament changed dramatically for some reason and he returned to the side of the League. When the Demon Legion tried to open an interstellar portal on the Hyjal Holy Mountain in the Western Continent to land on Aixing, Medivan not only informed the countries of this secret operation, but also personally organized a pro-Titan expeditionary force from the Eastern Continent to cross the sea to support;

As a result, under the ambush of the allied forces of the various ethnic groups, the landing operation on Mount Hyjal failed. Even one of the highest-ranking leaders of the Legion, Akmund, died there.

After that, Medivin disappeared and his whereabouts were unknown, presumably knowing that the Burning Legion would not let him go easily, so he went into hiding and returned to his hometown. These witchers may have found some traces and tracked all the way to the upwind trail.

Members of the Burning Legion generally do not interfere directly in mortal affairs, with the exception of this Makzar. Perhaps angered by the Church's unbridled biochemical experiments and the brutal massacre of innocent civilians by the Kingdom Army, he and his men temporarily stopped tracking missions and began to help the Night's Watch.

The Demon Hunters not only taught the spells and weapon-making techniques to fight against the Light Zombies, but also taught the militia how to fight as part of the Demon Legion;

That is, to put forward a clear program and slogan, to mobilize the masses widely, to establish a credible organization, to practice military democracy, and to build the organization's branches on every squad.

After that, the night's watch, which had been at its end, regrouped and erupted in unity and strength like never before.

In just a few months, the tide has turned. The officers and troops, who had lost their superiority in battle and had completely lost the hearts and minds of the people, were defeated by a militia that no longer feared the undead and shared the enemy's hatred of the people, and soon control of most of Dawn State was back in the hands of the Night's Watch.

The militia declares an autonomous government, and the powerless Morgan asks for help from Stormwind, only to get an outcome that he never expected in his eight lifetimes;

The previous vigorous development of the Dawn State autonomy movement had given the royal family and the church a glimpse of the First Republic, and the same fears put aside conflicts and prejudices and quickly rallied. By making peace with the Church of Light, the kingdom learns the truth about the plague contamination of Dawn and knows that there is no value in occupying the land at any cost;

Coupled with the outbreak of the Difia Rebellion by then, the Brotherhood of Artisans not only seized the entire western part of the country, but also controlled a large area of the kingdom's hinterland, Alwyn. These two regions are the core of the kingdom's rule, and Stormwind has no time or ability to take care of the affairs of Dawn on the remote border.

At least for a while, the Third Dynasty royal family acquiesced in the suppression of the civil rebellion by the Dawn State Garrison Corps and the use of soul energy infusion by the Church of Light, which is why Morgan dared to step up his efforts. But as the Night's Watch Autonomous Council negotiates with the Kingdom, Stormwind's attitude takes a 180-degree turn;

According to the results of the vote of the Autonomous Council, the majority of the residents of Dawn are still willing to remain in the Kingdom of Stormwind, as long as the royal family guarantees their autonomy, restricts the behavior of the church, and severely punishes those who committed crimes during the civil war.

Originally, Stormwind had no intention of interfering, but now it can avoid the independence of such a large piece of territory from the kingdom without spending a single soldier, so naturally it is impossible to ask for it. After negotiations with the militia representatives, the royal family recognized the Night's Watch as appointing an executive body to the kingdom, dissolved the former local government of Dawn State, and established the Autonomous Council of Twilight State.

One of the conditions on which the night watchmen agreed to the peace talks was that war criminals be punished. And in the war with the militia, the Morgan Corps, which committed the crimes of murder, arson and massacre, is the most hated person by the people and will never forgive.

In order to appease the people and dissociate themselves, the kingdom weighed in and declared that Morgan had advocated the suppression of the militia without the consent of the royal family, and was punished for treason.

Morgan, who had become an outcast and a sacrifice, hurriedly asked for help from the nobles and acquaintances of the church, but no one dared to come forward for such a big matter.

Especially the Pope of Light, Morgan himself came to this situation in order to rescue them. But Morgan had a great deal of evidence of their work in soul magic, and because the Night's Watch had done their best to help clean up the plague, they agreed to keep the Central Mountains as their territory; He didn't care about Morgan, and even betrayed his whereabouts of escape.

The poor former corps commander fled alone into the wilderness without a single soldier, and was finally overtaken by MI7 agents on a barren hillside on the banks of the Dawn River; After hacking two pursuers to death, he was shot on the spot and hastily buried with his sword.

Imagine that Morgan, who was a high-ranking military officer and a noble priest, had no retinue by his side, only a giant sword, and while dodging arrows and missiles from the shadows, he shouted hoarsely, "I have done my service to the king's country, I have shed blood for the church, I want to see the king!" I want to see the Pope! ...... "What a bleak scene it must have been when he was shot and killed indiscriminately."

Afterwards, his relatives found a place and erected a rudimentary tombstone. It was not even allowed to write the original noble name, and it was given the code name "Moradim".

And then it's not over, just like in the game, Morgan isn't completely dead. Many days later, he got up from the grave and wandered around. The soldiers of the original legion buried here also woke up with the commander, and the vicinity became the activity ground of the underworld legion.

Since then, in order to avoid panic caused by this history, the kingdom has covered up most of the experimental records, and the area has been designated as a quarantine area. Since then, the entire north of Raven Ridge has become a huge cemetery, and living people and animals have to go around.

Morbent Fell, who had been dead for many years and would not refute it, was the only thing to be a suitable scapegoat, slandered as the source of the plague, and most of the dirty water was splashed on him. Because it was too outrageous to withstand scrutiny, the official deleted the relevant content from the history books, and it was strictly forbidden to discuss this history.

In this incident, the kingdom solved the problem of the twilight state with a piece of paper, and also gained the obedience of the Pope of Light by the way, which seemed to be majestic and very cool for a while, but actually caused great trouble;

From then on, the obligation of the regular army was to go out to fight and never meddle in local affairs. Without a direct formal order, the work of the gendarmes is absolutely not done; And as long as it is not clear about the anti-Stormwind City, the kingdom will generally not give such an order to dig its own grave.

As a result, once there is an incident in the locality, the garrison corps and the local government will pass the buck to each other and watch from the sidelines. Just like the current predicament of the Montenegro County Government, Ning Guanjun died, what did he have to do with himself.

After reading it, Oster let out a sigh of great emotion; If you knew this was the case, why bother in the first place?
