Azeroth, Westfall.
Wayne emerged from the crack in the Kobold's mine. As soon as he opened his eyes, he heard a few chattering sounds, similar to dog barking, and someone shouted not far away: "Invasion, humans have invaded our mine."
"Come on, let's kill this intruder together!"
He cursed his bad luck in his heart, then drew out the Statik electric blade from his waist, looked at the two blurry figures not far away, and without thinking, a chain lightning struck over.
The shouting stopped abruptly.
After killing the ogre, Wayne instantly considered the pros and cons. With an idea in his mind, he reached out to take out the invisibility cloak from the space bracelet, put it on himself, and then ran towards another mine tunnel at the fastest speed.
Sure enough, the dog-headed people moved very slowly. It was not until he ran into another mine tunnel that some other dog-headed people came running over with mining drafts. Then they looked at the charred corpse on the ground that had been electrocuted to a crisp, and let out roars of fear and anger.
Wayne let out a light breath and took advantage of the chaos among the ogres to walk out of the mine from another direction. If he hadn't wanted to keep these ogres to help him guard the mine, these little creatures would have been chopped to death by him today.
After slipping out of the mine, Wayne did not stay for long. Before entering the world of Azeroth, he already had a preliminary plan. Now he planned to go to the Lawrence Farm he had seen two months ago to ask the locals here for information.
He rode on the magic carpet and flew quickly in the direction he remembered last time. Not long after flying, he saw the outline of Lawrence Farm.
The last time I came here was still summer, and the flow rates of the Wizarding World and the Azeroth World were almost the same. Now, two months have passed. From a distance, the fields of Lawrence Farm are already full of densely grown wheat, and there are some other crops. Although they are not yet mature, they still make people feel extremely satisfied.
This is the sense of security that food brings to people.
In order to avoid the residents of Lawrence Farm, Wayne did not land directly on the farm. Instead, like last time, he used the cover of the ramp and landed at the foot of a hillside a few hundred meters away.
When he tidied his clothes and walked into the farm like an adventurer, he unexpectedly found that although it was still daytime, there were no workers working in the fields, and the farmhouse in the center of the farm was also quite quiet. Occasionally, one could only hear the neighing of horses and the grunting of pigs in the pigsty.
This abnormal phenomenon immediately made Wayne alert. He slowed down his pace, cleared his mind of distractions, made his five senses more sensitive, and carefully guarded against accidents that might occur at any time.
Sure enough, when he walked to a distance of less than a hundred meters from the farmhouse in the center, the sound of some soles of shoes rubbing against weeds suddenly came into his ears.
With the demon hunter's keen hearing, Wayne quickly determined that two people with bad intentions were quietly approaching it from the left and right sides.
He kept moving forward towards the farmhouse, and with a glimpse of the corner of his eye, he was surprised to find that there was no figure or trace of any other creature on the left and right sides where the sound came from, as if nothing existed.
This surprised him quite a bit, but his hearing certainly wouldn't lie. Although there were no traces, the malicious people on both sides were still moving slowly, and the sound of their soles rubbing against the weeds still slowly reached his ears.
Seeing this, Wayne simply stopped, turned around quickly, and began to observe carefully.
Fortunately, when he concentrated and observed carefully, he immediately found some clues. Two people wearing tight clothes, red masks and holding daggers in their hands were squatting about seven or eight meters away from him, moving forward cautiously step by step.
Their outlines were very faint, almost transparent, as if there was a force enveloping them and concealing their figures.
After seeing the two men's iconic attire and the daggers in their hands, Wayne immediately thought of an organization that was rampant in Stormwind Kingdom, the Defias Brotherhood.
The current plot seems to be that it has been less than a few years since they rebelled against Stormwind, and they are in a period of accumulating strength and thriving.
The last time I chatted with Mr. Lawrence on the farm, they discussed the Defias Brotherhood running rampant in the Westfield.
However, these thoughts only flashed through Wayne's mind. After discovering the two Defias Brotherhood assassins who had entered stealth mode, he showed no mercy. A fan-shaped Igni flame sign instantly shot out from his right hand, and he raised the adamantium arm armor with his left hand, and shot a crossbow arrow at the chest of the man on the left.
In an instant, the Defias Brotherhood assassin on the right was wrapped in flames, his whole body was on fire, and he kept rolling on the ground. The Defias Brotherhood assassin on the left was hit in the sternum by the armor-piercing crossbow arrow shot by Wayne. The whole person seemed to be hit hard in the chest by an invisible fist. He fell backwards to the ground and spit out a mouthful of blood with broken internal organs.
Just as Wayne was attacking the two Defias Brotherhood assassins, the door of the farmhouse in the center of the farm was pushed open, and three strong men holding two-handed axes rushed out.
They seemed to have noticed the scene outside the farmhouse a long time ago. After rushing out of the farmhouse, they immediately roared angrily at Wayne, and then rushed towards him at a very fast speed.
After these three people rushed out, two more members of the Defias Brotherhood, holding two crossbows, also ran out of the farmhouse.
Wayne's expression did not change when faced with the sudden appearance of these Defias Brotherhood members.
He first added a Quen Shield to himself, then drew out the Statik Electric Blade from his waist, quickly retreated a few steps, and stabbed the unfortunate guy on the ground who was still wailing and burning with a knife, stabbing him in the chest with a sword.
Then he hooked his finger at the three strong men who were rushing towards him.
Until they rushed to him, less than ten meters away.
Wayne's figure suddenly disappeared and instantly appeared next to the two Defias crossbowmen who were holding crossbows horizontally and ready to shoot at the door of the farmhouse.
Before they could react, two swords were swung out in an instant, one sword chopped off the head of one of them, and the other sword directly cut off the arms of the remaining crossbowman.
The screams of their companions instantly awakened the three sturdy men who were holding two-handed axes and looking at the grass where the enemy disappeared, a little confused.
They saw Wayne in the farmhouse, looking like a teenager and wearing a tough armor, and they thought they were facing a young warrior who had just started out.
They didn't expect that the opponent was actually a wizard, who could not only cast fire magic, but could even cast spells without a spell and directly perform flash magic. In an instant, he killed four of their companions, leaving only three of the seven of them.
A wizard who could cast spells so quickly was obviously not someone they could deal with.
Faced with the huge gap in strength, the current Defias Brotherhood is not an elite organization. Among the three strong men, a man with brown hair and a beard immediately shouted with a gloomy face:
"Don't fight, my friend. We are from the Defias Brotherhood. We have a lot of people and you can't afford to mess with us."
"Let us go, we won't bother you again, otherwise, you won't be able to survive in the Western Wilderness."
Wayne listened to everything they said with an indifferent expression, then raised the Statik electric blade in his hand without any intention of speaking.
Just when the brown-haired man had a ferocious look on his face and thought that a fierce battle was inevitable and had begun to retreat, Wayne's figure disappeared in an instant and appeared behind them.
A powerful chop was swung out in an instant, and after cutting off half of the body of a strong man, a chain lightning shot out from the Statik electric blade, directly electrocuting the remaining two strong men, causing them to tremble all over, wailing in pain and despair, and then collapsed with a burnt smell all over their bodies.
After Wayne walked forward and stabbed him twice more, the entire farm fell into an eerie silence again.
In the real world, unless one is gifted like a dragon, demigod or other super life form, all mortals are very vulnerable. No matter who it is, if they are stabbed in the heart or have their heads chopped off, they will die.
There is no division into elite, boss, chief, and leader levels like in the game.
After cleaning up the spoils a bit, the result was quite pitiful. Wayne only found less than ten gold coins and dozens of silver coins from these seven people, and the armor-piercing crossbow arrow was also recovered by Wayne.
It’s not that he cares about the loss of money, but the crossbow arrows that come with these crossbows are all made by master dwarf forging masters. Both the power and precision are impossible for ordinary blacksmiths to imitate.
After cleaning up the spoils, Wayne searched the farmhouse, but unfortunately he didn't find the Lawrence family and their farm workers.
After observing the usage of some kitchens, furniture, and bedrooms in the farmhouse, Wayne judged that these Defias Brotherhood members had probably lived in the farm for about two or three days.
However, with the help of the demon hunter's senses, Wayne judged one thing through the consumption of food and the use of tableware: there should be other people in the farm besides these seven people from the Defias Brotherhood.
Sure enough, more than ten minutes later, after he followed some clues and searched carefully, he finally found the Lawrence family and some other workers imprisoned in the basement of the warehouse where the hay was stored.
When these people imprisoned in the dim basement saw Wayne covered in blood, they first screamed in fear, followed by some curses and pleas for mercy.
Fortunately, before Wayne could explain, the farmer's daughter, the big-breasted Julie, recognized him.
At this time, the farm girl was a little dirty, her hair was quite messy, and there was a lot of dirt on her face because she had been locked in the basement for several days. However, after recognizing Wayne, she still happily came forward and said:
"Mr. Wayne, are you here to rescue us?"
Wayne looked at Julie, smiled gently, nodded and said:
"I passed by your farm this time and was just about to come in for a quick meal, but I didn't expect to run into the Defias Brotherhood."
He pulled out a knife from his waist, reached out and cut the ropes that bound Julie, then looked at the others in the cellar and said:
"Don't worry, everyone. I have killed all the bandits on the farm. You are safe now."
………………
Half an hour later, Mr. Lawrence and several workers began to clean up the bodies of the Defias Brotherhood, while Mrs. Lawrence went back to her room to rest because she was too frightened.
Wayne sat in the living room of Lawrence's house. Julie made him a cup of tea, fried some eggs and bread and put them in front of him. Then she said with lingering fear, "Thank you so much, Mr. Wayne."
"If you hadn't saved us, we don't know what would have happened to us."
Wayne picked up the hot milk and took a sip. It tasted good and felt more rich than the milk in the wizarding world.
He put down the cup and asked Julie with some doubt:
"Is the Defias Brotherhood so rampant now? Your farm should be somewhat famous in the West Wilderness. They actually openly kidnapped all of you. Don't you have soldiers to protect you?"
Hearing this, Julie sat down on Wayne's right. Because she had just taken a shower, a faint scent of soap wafted from the farm girl.
From the gap in the collar of the shirt, one can easily see the wheat-colored but quite plump chest.
Her expression was mostly sad. She rested one hand on the table and clenched the other hand into a fist. She said with some resentment:
"These bandits are becoming more and more arrogant. Last month, the guards of Sentinel Hill organized a siege operation, but were defeated by the Defias Brotherhood."
"Now their guards can only protect themselves at Sentinel Hill, while the Defias Brotherhood is becoming more and more powerful."
"All the gangsters and bandits in the entire Storm Kingdom have joined this organization. They have also occupied Moonbrook Town and the Death Mine and driven away all the townspeople."
"Now, there has been no response to the letter for help sent to Stormwind City. The entire Western Wilderness seems to have been occupied by this bandit organization."
"Even our farm has been threatened by them. Now they have directly sent people to imprison us and force my father to take us to join their organization."
Listening to Julie's endless and hateful words, Wayne sighed for them in his heart.
In his memory, the mastermind behind the Defias Brotherhood should be the black dragon princess Onyxia lurking in Stormwind City. She is currently doing very well in the aristocratic circles of Stormwind City and is a very powerful countess. Many guards and nobles have already joined her.
It was she who helped the Defias Brotherhood develop rapidly and even prevented the Stormwind army from encircling and suppressing them. The death of the Queen of Stormwind was also caused by this princess.
The people in the West Wilderness want to wait for reinforcements from Stormwind, but no one knows how long they will have to wait.
Perhaps, many residents of the Western Wilderness will never receive the reinforcements they want during their lifetime.
The thieves organization, the Defias Brotherhood, still existed among humans decades later.
While Julie was still telling Wayne about the evil deeds of the Defias Brotherhood, Mr. Lawrence walked in with sweat on his forehead.
He first expressed his gratitude to Wayne again, then sat down on the chair opposite Wayne with a rather sad look on his face, sighed, and said:
"Alas, the wheat we planted will take another half a month to mature. I didn't expect that the bandits from the Defias Brotherhood would set their sights on these grains so soon."
"I heard that the number of members of the Defias Brotherhood is much larger than expected. They have occupied many mines and Moonbrook Town, and now they are planning to take over our farms. It seems that they are really planning to take root here."
"These bandits are totally unreasonable, and the guards can't beat them. What should we do in the future?"
Listening to Mr. Lawrence's troubles, Wayne drank the milk in front of him. After thinking for a while, he kindly advised: "Mr. Lawrence, maybe you should go to Stormwind City to hide for a while."
"Although I rescued you this time, I also killed the people from the Defias Brotherhood. Maybe after I leave, they will send people back to retaliate against you."
