The 3977th Chapter Vanessa Van Cleef (1)
Grian Stallman has been worrying about the things that are brewing in this place of Westfall since this time... Especially three days ago, when he saw with his own eyes the great stonemason engineer, Stormwind City His anxiety became even more serious after he became the daughter of the founder and former leader of the Defias Brotherhood, Edwin VanCleef!
He will never forget that scary little girl who was dressed in a tight black leather jacket, had short black hair, and hid her face behind a red scarf, especially the scary look in her eyes...
That Vanessa VanCleef looked only fifteen or sixteen years old, but she had a vicious mind and a fierce attack. A blade enchanted with evil shadow power killed and wounded those Yuexi town militiamen in an instant. More than a dozen people... In the end, he was able to escape calmly from the hands of this veteran paladin, which made him feel very troublesome and worried!
If the other party is allowed to wander in this western wilderness, he will definitely be a great enemy of the Stormwind Kingdom in the future, just like her father Edwin Van Cleef!
Even... even more terrifying...
Because, the New Defias Brotherhood revived by that little girl, they have become more and more serious threats to the lives and property safety of the people in the western wilderness! Especially the slogan proposed by the other party, "Kill the nobles, divide the land, and pay less tax" that makes Grian feel palpitating even thinking about it!
As a veteran who has been on the battlefield and has been in contact with many people's livelihood matters, Grian Stallman certainly knows the general power of this slogan and the damage that can be caused if the Defias Brotherhood is allowed to develop like this. Serious harm!
Every time I think of the horrible effect these words can bring and the things that have been discovered recently, there is now enough evidence to show that there are more and more refugees and townspeople who have gone bankrupt because of the kingdom's war and heavy taxes, and a small number of low-level people Farmers and some smallholders are in frequent contact with members of the New Defias Brotherhood.
In the past two days, as more and more information piled up on his desk, he almost couldn't eat well or sleep well at all times, even at night, he would occasionally be awakened by the wind and grass outside the window in his sleep!
You know, Grian Stallman is here in the Western Wilderness, and he is also a man with a manor and land, and there are many, many more...
So, without thinking too much, Grian knew that he must be the exploiting class and the object of the land being divided in the slogan of the New Defias Brotherhood, and he must be right.
In short, whether it is for the peace and stability of the western wilderness, or for the prosperity and harmony of the Stormwind Kingdom, or for him, Grian Stolman himself, to prevent his head from being inexplicably cut off and robbed in his sleep Legacy, he must give those new Defias Brotherhood thugs a good look!
Knowing that his personal strength is too weak in front of the organized Defias Brotherhood and the increasingly large number of thugs, Grian resolutely decided: and the townspeople and businessmen of Yuexi Town Together with the big ranchers, form the Westfall People's Army to defend their Westfall, defend their homes, and defend their property!
So, after he met that Vanessa three days ago and lost his troops, Grian Stallman finally decided to gather property owners and rich peasants in the Westfall and those who are unwilling to join forces with the Defias Brotherhood More people will expand the Yuexi Town militia organization that originally only had dozens of people!
This time, he will directly arm and train them into a Western People's Army of about 2,000 people, so as to defend and maintain the safety of this important granary of the Stormwind Kingdom and the increasingly obvious attacks against the New Defias Brotherhood. threaten!
Of course, although Grian Stallman is a powerful old paladin and a moderate nobleman in the Kingdom of Stormwind, but... such a thing as forming an army casually, even if it is just a local militia organization,
It certainly does not mean that building can be established.
Because, even if it is just a militia, it is a serious and large-scale army, not the escort of some merchants, nor is it armed by private thugs.
If they act randomly without the report of the Stormwind Kingdom, maybe before they are trained to fight against the Defias Brotherhood, the few regular troops left in Stormwind City may come to kill them. First treat him as a rebel and destroy him, Grian Stallman!
It is precisely because of this consideration that on the day when the People's Army of the West Wilderness is about to be established today, Grian Stallman specially invited the temporary mayor of Yuexi Town and the executive officer of the West Wilderness, a The Stormwind Kingdom Council has only recently transferred a veteran nobleman who came here to supervise the food taxation work.
Now, when the Stormwind Kingdom is deploying troops in the outer domain and the Flame Alliance in the north, they are fighting on two fronts, and they still attach great importance to logistics work! That's why a member of the nobility was specially dispatched to Yuexi Town to oversee the payment of grain taxes and try to appease the West Wilderness.
After all, in the entire Stormwind Kingdom, apart from a small number of farms producing food in Elwynn Forest, only Westfall has the most farms and mines!
It can be said that the west here is indeed an important area for maintaining the finances of the Stormwind Kingdom! This is exactly the fundamental reason why the Kingdom of Stormwind hopes that this place can continue to maintain stability. Before the Defias Brotherhood really caused a big disturbance, it is not willing to go all out to clean up this place to prevent too much damage.
"Griann Knight..."
"Look, the warriors recruited by you are already in place... and later, I may have some important things, plus... I see that those girls have been waiting a little It's not good to leave the wreaths in their hands for a long time if they get impatient, so... shall we prepare to start the ceremony?"
Duke Lescova took a few deep breaths, looked at the old paladin who was wearing gray-white unmarked plate armor and carrying a standard hammer of the Knights of the Silver Hand behind his back, and then looked at him with a bit of complaint. Looking at the old guy beside him, he urged.
Originally, he didn't want to take care of such things as forming a militia, and he didn't bother to bother with them. After all, he was only here to supervise the grain taxation, and other things that were not lucrative had nothing to do with him! Moreover, after the war in Outland or the north is over, he can pack his bags and return to Stormwind City to continue his life as a drunken and dreamy councilman, and he will no longer have to worry about these hard-working things in the remote area of Westfall.
However, because before, someone specifically reminded him: It is said that the Stormwind Kingdom hopes that Yuexi Town can be self-sufficient and maintain stability... But now, there happens to be such a veteran who is willing to pick up this thankless and There's no such thing as fat and watery, so of course he can't wait for it!
Anyway, he himself would definitely not donate money, not even food. In fact, he would not give anything other than being there to say a few words!
This Grian, no matter whether he contributes his own funds or let the merchants or farmers in Yuexi Town share it equally, anyway, don't come to him no matter what! He was only responsible for speaking a few words today, announcing the legitimacy of the Western People's Army, and writing a report to the Kingdom Council, and he had nothing to do with the rest.
"Well……"
Grian Stallman didn't reply right away. He looked around the parade ground barracks in deep thought. At the review stand, apart from himself, the Duke of Lescova and dozens of elite guards, There are only representatives or family members of some farmers and big businessmen watching and witnessing here.
In addition, in the team of town representatives, there were two blond girls holding wreaths in their hands. They were going to be dedicated to Duke Lescova who was speaking later, and they were also part of the ceremony. Grian also knew the two of them, and they were indeed members of an old nobleman he knew and a family member of a large farmer's family. It was absolutely impossible for them to be members of the Defias Brotherhood.
Therefore, he feels that there seems to be no problem with the security work in today's ceremony. With himself, so many soldiers on the periphery and the Duke's guards, those members of the Defias Brotherhood should be chaotic. Those who don't come in are even less likely to get mixed up here in their swearing-in venue.
"Okay... Your Excellency Duke, you are ready to speak now!"
Nodding his head and finding that there was nothing wrong with it, Grian reluctantly agreed to the proposal of the great nobleman from Stormwind City to start the ceremony earlier.
Originally, Grian himself was reluctant to hold such a meaningless ceremony. According to his own wishes, he only needed to obtain the authorization document from the kingdom.
However, in order to show the existence of himself and the Stormwind Kingdom, the Duke also needs to let most businessmen, mine owners and farmers know the legal existence of their Western People's Army, so as to facilitate future fundraising, food, etc. and other matters, so he finally reluctantly agreed to this matter.
But for some reason, Grian was still a little worried. He was afraid that the New Defias Brotherhood would send people to make trouble here. Therefore, he scanned all possible suspicious elements in the venue several times. ...
"Hello! Knight Griman... Those two beautiful ladies over there seem to be two sisters? Do you know them? I don't know... Can you introduce them to me later?"
Duke Lescova had long noticed that the two women over there were wearing silk robes, holding garlands in their hands, long golden hair hanging down their shoulders, and soft and fair complexion! They seem to be very young, only eighteen to twenty years old, and... they seem to look alike, should they be two sisters?
"..."
"My lord duke, those two are also from aristocratic families, and they are also one of the largest landlords in the western wilderness...So, I'm sorry, I really can't help you..."
Of course Grian understands what this old rascal nobleman means. After this duke came to Yuexi Town, he has been thinking about those nasty things all day long! The other party is either messing around with those parties, living those extravagant lives, or just messing around and ignoring political affairs, and he, a veteran, is not the same way! Therefore, he directly rejected the other party's request, and did not want to involve too much with this kind of person.
"Oh? You don't seem to be willing? Forget it...I'll ask myself later!"
After finishing speaking, Duke Lescova smiled triumphantly, and walked towards the improvised speech platform made of wood in front of him.
"..."
At the same time, seeing that the Duke had already stood on the wooden platform, the two blond beauties with wreaths finally breathed a sigh of relief, and greeted him immediately with smiles.
They need to present the garlands they wove in advance to the Duke, and then the Duke will make a speech and announce the decision of the kingdom! After the speech was over, the recruited warriors shouted a few more slogans, then today's simple ceremony should almost come to an end.
"This beautiful lady, I don't know... May I have the names of both of you?"
When one of the older mature beauties put a wreath on Duke Lescova's neck and took two steps back, the little beauty who was two years younger but had a more delicate and beautiful face turned towards Lescova. Scova came over, and he, who had been impatient for a long time, smiled and asked.
Although this behavior is disrespectful and not in line with etiquette, Lescova believes that with his duke title, he believes that no one dares to say gossip! Moreover, dealing with such a woman from a small noble family, even on this occasion, shouldn't have any major problems.
"My lord... please lower your head, you are too tall, I can't reach it..."
The blond beauty seemed reluctant to tell the other party her name, and she seemed a little afraid of this perverted old man, so her voice sounded timid.
If she had been able to reach him, she might have put the wreath on it and fled!
However, the other party is much taller than her, and there is no way for her to successfully put her wreath on the other party when she is standing upright... But now, her sister's task has been completed, and all that is left is Being made things difficult by the Duke made her look very aggrieved.
"If you don't tell me your name, then I will never bow my head!"
Looking at each other with a smile, bullying and molesting such an inexperienced little beauty gave Lescova a sense of accomplishment! He has already figured it out now. After he knows the other party's name, in a day or two, he will hold a grand dinner party and send invitations to the other party. Of course, the one behind the other party must also be included. Mature beauty older sister.
And then, as long as they were invited to come to his home, at that time, wouldn't he be allowed to do whatever he wanted?
Hum hum……
As soon as he thought of something wonderful, Lescova couldn't help but smiled and stroked his specially trimmed chin beard.
"Ahem! Your Excellency the Duke, it's getting late..."
Standing behind the high platform, Grian Stallman, the incoming commander-in-chief of the Western People's Army, saw that shameless old guy up there blatantly molesting that little blonde girl on the high platform regardless of the procedure, and looked After almost making the other party cry, he couldn't help coughing twice, and reminded a certain duke in a low voice.
"..."
"How about it, my lady... As long as you tell me your names, I will bow my head and never make things difficult for you! This small request shouldn't be too much, right?"
Turning his head slightly, and glancing at the old paladin behind him from the corner of his eye, Lescova continued to ask the little girl softly.
Whether it's the paladins or the Western People's Army, it's not what Duke Lescova wants to care about! Right now, he just wanted to find out the name of this little girl and her sister. As for whether other people have any opinions, what does it matter to him?
He, Lescova, is the Duke of the Stormwind Kingdom, and at the same time, a member of the Congress of the Stormwind Kingdom and the governor of the Westfall. What is he going to do, and where does he need to look at the faces of these untouchables? He, who is powerful and powerful, is so self-willed now, what can they do with him? !
"My lord, please don't do this...everyone...everyone is watching us..."
The little girl holding the Merry wreath is neither advancing nor retreating, she can only bite her lip with her white teeth in grievance, with tears in her eyes, she doesn't know what to do for a while .
"It's okay, let's let them watch our private conversation, don't worry, they won't and dare not have any opinions?"
"How about it, beautiful lady, I don't want to embarrass you, I just want to know your names... Then, your task can be completed! And I can continue my speech... Look, everyone It seems that you are a little impatient for waiting, and you don't want to be complained by so many people, right?"
The Duke of Lescova, who would not give up until he achieved his goal, still used a gentle tone to force the other party without delay. He has a lot of ways to deal with this kind of little girl!
It is feasible to use one's own identity and power to do reasonable persecution. He believes that the other party will definitely succumb.
"Then... well, okay..."
"My lord duke... You, you lower your head first... When I put a wreath on you, I will whisper in your ear..."
Finally, when the tears were about to fall from her eyes, and in the worried eyes of her older sister behind her, this little girl, who was only about eighteen years old, finally compromised under the persecution of Duke Lescova.
She had no choice but to nod her head in embarrassment, and reluctantly agreed to the other party's rude request.
"Of course! My lady, you can't play tricks on me!"
Seeing that his goal was successfully achieved, Lescova quickly squinted his eyes with a smile, and lowered his head towards the opponent.
Then... He really felt that the other party's white and slender arms were holding the beautiful wreath, and gently placed it on his neck. At the same time, the other party's cheek exuding bursts of charming fragrance really carefully took this opportunity to approach his ear, and whispered softly like a whisper between lovers:
"The one behind me...she is my sister...her name is Lana..."
The little girl's voice sounded soft. Hearing it in Lescova's ears made him feel as if his heart would melt. If it weren't for the fact that it is not easy to do some impolite things under the watchful eyes of the public, I'm afraid he has to reach out and hug the other party directly, and play with it fiercely!
Of course, he believed that this matter could definitely be realized, and he wouldn't have to wait too long.
Wait for the day after tomorrow...
No, just wait until tomorrow! Tomorrow night, he will hold a grand party and invite the two sisters, and then find some supporting guys, then his goal will definitely be achieved, he believes, it will be possible!
"And my own name..."
"It's actually called... Vanessa... Van Cleef..."
When the word "husband" gently penetrated into Duke Lescova's ear, before he had time to react, he only felt a pain in his neck, and then the whole world spun...
"!!"
"??"
At this time, whether it was Grian Stallman, the surrounding bodyguards of the Duke of Lescova, or the surrounding people watching the ceremony and the recruited warriors lined up in a neat formation in front of the venue, all of them I was horrified to see: the little girl who had to succumb to the Duke's coercion just now and planned to tell the other party her name unexpectedly made a black dagger out of nowhere, and then directly put the head on her chest. In front of him, the head of Duke Lescova, who was going to listen to some whispers, was cut off in an instant!
"There...there are assassins!!!"
"Killed! Run away!!!"
Finally, it is unknown who yelled in panic first, and then the panic exploded from the ranks of ordinary people who were watching. They all screamed and started to turn their heads and run away!
"Hahaha……"
Afterwards, the headless corpse with two beautiful colorful garlands barely stood up and shook a few times, then spattered with bright red blood, it twitched and collapsed on the high wooden podium...
And the little girl who made the move grabbed Duke Lescova's head that hadn't landed yet, and still had a look of astonishment and bewilderment, standing on the high platform and laughing presumptuously.
"Quick...give me...catch them!!!"
Although I don't know why those two little girls suddenly killed Duke Lescova directly, and the method was so cruel and clean that everyone was caught off guard! However, Grian knew that it would never be wrong to catch the other party first, otherwise, he might be in big trouble for himself!
A noble Duke of the Stormwind Kingdom was successfully assassinated and decapitated under his nose. This incident, I am afraid, will be a stain on Grian's life! If he can't catch the assassin, then he can't even think about it!
"Come on! Surround them and catch the living ones!"
"Others spread out and guard around, and be careful not to have any accomplices who come to meet them! Those guys running around over there, stop them, everyone, none of them are allowed to leave without authorization today!!!"
Under the anger, Grian was like a lion who was completely enraged. He directly burst out the powerful golden holy light all over his body, and grabbed his own war hammer, with a fierce and ferocious expression on his face. His subordinates and the angry Duke's guards who reacted directly surrounded the place that was originally the podium but now became the Duke's guillotine!
"Tell...you...why did you do this!?"
With grief and indignation and a trembling and puzzled tone, Grian just opened his eyes wide, raised his head and yelled and asked the two little girls on the stage who assassinated the Duke.
What he didn't understand was: the other party was obviously the family members of two noble families in the Stormwind Kingdom. Whether in the Stormwind Kingdom or here in the Western Wilderness, they were all prominent figures. Why did they do such outrageous things? !
"Hahaha!!!"
"The lackeys of Stormwind, and you, Gryan Stallman! Take a good look now, who am I!?"
A sentence that seemed a little familiar to Grian Stallman, shouted from the hideous little girl holding the duke's dead head, made him stunned.
Then, after the little girl laughed triumphantly, the other party's body began to twist and change?
And soon, under the watchful eyes of everyone, the other party twisted from the original blond girl into a little girl with short black hair and black pupils, who was only about fifteen or sixteen years old. What's more, her face...has become more stern and ferocious...Of course, the sense of pride after a successful scheme must be indispensable.
"You are... Vanessa VanCleef..."
Finally, Grian Stallman, who remembered something, sighed inwardly. If this is the case, then everything makes sense.
Thanks to him, he was worried that the New Defias Brotherhood would come to make trouble. For this reason, he specially strengthened the security, patrol and the number of guards on guard!
But in the end, what he never expected was that the other party didn't sneak in in a stealthy posture, nor did he trigger those precious magic items that he specially prepared around to detect the invisibility of thieves, but instead blatantly changed Becoming someone else, just standing in front of Duke Lescova so generously, and easily beheading the head that was sent to the door? !
"Sister Vanessa! The effect of my compound decoction is about to wear off. Let's go quickly. I'm afraid that I may not be able to bear the pain later and make a mistake!"
Unlike Vanessa, who has been triple-trained as a thief, a ranger, and a shadow priest since she was a child, she can endure the bone-eating pain when recovering from the compound potion, but she, Lana, can't guarantee that she can endure that pain and cast spells !
After all, she does not have a strong body, only a delicate body that belongs to a mage.
Moreover, she is a conjuration mage, and she studied the Hogwarts Encyclopedia of Magic and Spells that Her Majesty Queen Anne left her at the beginning. If the compound potion fails later and she can't concentrate on shouting out the spell, that's terrible. Something big is going to happen!
So after she finished speaking, she didn't care whether the other party agreed or disagreed, and directly grabbed the wrist of Vanessa's other hand that was not holding her head.
"Hmph! You still want to run? Come on, you must catch them for me, life or death!!!"
After finally understanding the reason why the other party assassinated Duke Lescova, Grian no longer needs to catch anyone alive for interrogation! After all, the other party is the remnant of the Van Cleef family, who originally had an extreme hatred for the Stormwind Kingdom, and would do such things as assassinate nobles, isn't that normal?
"Hmph! Grian, I will come back! At that time, the heads of you Stormwind City running dogs will be chopped off!"
After Lana tightly grasped her wrist, Vanessa did not resist, but seized the time and shouted this sentence to the enemies who rushed up to the high platform, and then the next moment:
"Apparition!!!"
Grian Stallman, who was rushing up with the soldiers, only heard another assassin who didn't show his true face wave a short wooden stick, and shouted something inexplicably, and then... ... Before they could react, the two hateful female assassins on the high platform disappeared completely from the high platform with a 'snap'.
…
"This...what the hell is going on...how is this possible?!"
He rushed to the middle of the speech platform, and scanned helplessly around the barracks. Grian Stallman, who was carrying a golden holy light, found out with grief and indignation that, except for the Duke of Lescova, Except for the headless corpse that was still dripping with blood, there were no traces of enemies around!
The method used by the other party just now is definitely not the stealth of the thief assassin, but seems to be... the space teleportation method of the mages?
However, if it flashes at a short distance, it can only flash at a distance of thirty to fifty meters! And long-distance space gates or teleportation, don't you need to guide spells? !
"Your Excellency Grian...what should we do now?!"
Seeing that the enemy had disappeared, a helpless-looking commander of the Duke's bodyguard could only ask the old paladin for help in panic.
Now, the assassins chopped off the Duke's head and left calmly under the heavy protection of their guards, so it is not difficult for them to guess that if they return to Stormwind City, even if they don't die, they will definitely be thrown into prison. Spend the rest of your life!
"..."
"Martial law in the whole town, hunt for assassins! Then... report to Stormwind City..."
The Duke of Lescova was assassinated right under his nose, and the assassin was Van Cleef's remnant, Vanessa... What else could Grian do now? Apart from routine martial law and searching those members of the Defias Brotherhood, he has no good way!
What Grian is more concerned about now is: after the great nobleman, the Duke of Lescova and the tax and administrative consul of the Western Wilderness, died here, will there be any troubles in the formation of his Western Wilderness People's Army? !
Sure enough, he shouldn't have agreed to this damn inauguration ceremony in the first place! Still troubled by the latest chapters you can't find?
