Azeroth’s Death Track

A new day has begun, but the disaster that happened in the darkness yesterday has already spread throughout Stormwind City.

That was unbelievable news. The workers of the Brotherhood of Masons who protested against wage arrears at the gate of the old city hall, those poor people who were sympathized by the common people set off a riot.

At the same moment when their leader Van Cleef killed Sir Soma, the rebels hidden in the crowd drew their weapons, planning to take advantage of the chaos and rush into the city hall, looting or simply venting their inner dissatisfaction. Under the instigation of those with a heart, many workers who had already endured enough made wrong judgments.

Although they were subdued by the secret agents of MI7 hidden in the crowd at the moment they started to act, the chaos caused by this lasted for a whole afternoon, and even after nightfall, instead of being suppressed, it intensified.

Being oppressed, bullied, faced with difficult choices in life, or trust in Van Cleef himself, and dissatisfaction with the regime of the Stormwind Kingdom, this ignited wildfire quickly ignited. Driven by the black hands behind the scenes, From yesterday afternoon to midnight, thugs who blatantly destroyed appeared everywhere in the commercial area, dock area, and even the garden area where the nobles lived in Stormwind City.

They even planned to set fire to the business district and burn the Stormwind City built by them. This crazy plan was stopped by the elite assassins led by Master Shaw as soon as it was implemented. However, when midnight came, there were still more than Thirty civilians died in these riots, and the homes of minor nobles were looted.

This is the worst act of violence in the newly rebuilt Stormwind Kingdom in the past four years, coupled with the mixed dissatisfaction with the king and nobles, as well as the concerns of the common people, all these combined have led to today's noon public trial.

After all this, the Mason Brotherhood has lost the sympathy of the people, and even Van Cleef himself is regarded as an ambitious and violent person, because everyone knows that even Sir Soma has agreed to provide them with a An objective amount of money, and after taking action, was still brutally killed by them.

They have changed from the oppressed to the rebels. The former are sympathetic, while the latter, in this supposedly peaceful environment, are hostile and disgusted.

Edwin Van Cleef, he participated in the war between humans and orcs. On our land, he paid a great sacrifice to protect our people. He should have become a hero, and the Brotherhood of Stonemasons has suffered in recent years. We also feel sorry for the unfair treatment. All official organizations, including the Holy Light Cathedral, are fighting for the undeserved treatment of the workers, but unfortunately, as the leader of the workers, he chose a wrong path.

On the square in the old city, Priest Chaldea, the privy bishop representing the Guangming Cathedral, stood on the stone steps. He was wearing the simplest robes, just like his usual image of being friendly to the people. The mysterious purple ritual dagger, inlaid with gemstones, is probably the only accessory on his body that is related to luxury.

The Privy Bishop held the verdict in his hand with a painful face, as if he felt empathy for what happened to the entire Stormwind City, and just before the stone steps he stood on, there were still traces of flames, matching the silence in front of him and holding it tightly. The people who threw their fists, this scene looked a little desolate for no reason.

The long-term salary arrears made Mr. Van Cleef and the workers of the Stonemason Brotherhood feel dissatisfied with the nobles of the kingdom. They criticized the behavior of the nobles in public many times, and they also tried to set off a rebellion against His Majesty the King of the Stonemason Brotherhood. Yesterday afternoon, at the city hall, Mr. Van Cleef even brutally killed Sir Soma with his own hands.

Perhaps Mr. Van Cleef doesn't know that Sir Soma himself is one of the victims of the stonemason brotherhood incident. In order to pay off the arrears of wages, in the past half month, Sir Soma has been running around the entire Stormwind Kingdom. He has contacted The Cathedral of Light, Countess Katerina and Duke Bolvar, as well as a large number of nobles, we provided help to him who was in trouble.

The voice of the sympathetic pastor was full of heaviness. Behind him, the Duke of Bolvar, who was dressed in military uniform, had a frosty face. Because of Countess Katerina's relationship, this nobleman in the Kingdom of Stormwind had no experience with the Brotherhood of Masons before. Somewhat sympathetic, but after yesterday afternoon's terrible outbreak, he has an uncanny distaste for the rebels.

Sir Soma even sold his manor in Elwynn Forest at a low price, and brought all the funds raised to the front of the city hall, intending to appease the restless workers. All he needed was more time, but ...Mr. Van Cleef's impulsive behavior completely shattered a good life, he killed him, and buried his own glory with his own hands with the orc dagger he captured on the battlefield!

The emotional voice of the Chaldean pastor moved many people, even Edwin Van Cleef, who was personally escorted by the Duke, with his hands bound and haggard, showed emotion in his eyes, but it was not regret, but It was an impulse to refute, but the next moment, he shook his head and smiled self-deprecatingly.

No one would believe him, because no one would believe that Sir Thoma committed suicide...and stole his dagger before committing suicide.

It's all a conspiracy!

Gritting his teeth, Van Cleef muttered to himself that what happened yesterday afternoon seemed to him like a sudden disaster. In fact, until now, Van Cleef has not been able to recover from the disaster yesterday afternoon. .

But unlike him, behind him, the soldiers were still escorting more than 10 leaders of the Mason Brotherhood in ragged clothes. Compared with Van Cleef's despair, these guys looked full of flesh, even if they were escorted, There is also a fierce light shining in the eyes, just like a real villain.

But actually?

Before today, Van Cleef had never seen any of these so-called leaders of the Brotherhood of Masons!

But this can't change anything. In the square full of soldiers in front of him, a large number of civilians gathered here, watching the trial in silence, but the sympathy in their eyes has turned into a trace of doubt, even A touch of hate! That kind of complicated emotion made Van Rikov, who inexplicably carried a big black pot that could never be cleaned up, close his eyes in pain.

He knew that everything he had tried his best to maintain was hopeless.

The rebellion directed by Edwin Van Cleef was dealt with at midnight yesterday. Although we have acted as quickly as possible, many civilians have suffered innocent disasters. Van Cleef could have chosen many ways to pursue justice Unfortunately, driven by personal emotions, he took the worst kind, he chose violence, and thus threatened the survival of other good people!

Priest Chaldea looked at the last line of the judgment book. He took a deep breath, closed the judgment in his hand, raised his head, looked at the civilians in front of him, and said in a deep voice:

Under the watchful eyes of the dead innocents, and with the power of judgment conferred by His Majesty the King, on behalf of the Cathedral of Light and all faithful believers, I sentence Edwin Van Rikoff to death! Execution after a suspended sentence of one month! Sentence to the Brotherhood of Masons Immediately disband! And sentence Razov and other 10 leaders who participated in the rebellion...to death!

wow

This severe punishment made many neutral civilians feel a little overwhelmed, but for those victims who lost a lot in the rebellion, this severe punishment made them feel spiritual comfort.

Hang them!

kill him!

The villain! The villain!

The crowd shouted all kinds of voices one after another, making the entire church square extremely noisy, mixed with men's roars and women's screams, especially when the soldiers hanged the 10 villains On the shelf, the noise reached its climax.

As the executioner pulled the mechanism, the baffle under the feet of the 10 thugs suddenly opened, and their unsupported bodies were hung on the noose. , the lives of the villains with blood on their hands were lost little by little. At the moment when they finally stopped struggling, the atmosphere in the entire square reached a strange...satisfaction.

The bloodthirsty desire for revenge in the hearts of the people who lost their loved ones has been satisfied, but their loved ones can no longer return, that kind of sadness once again ingested them, and the low-pitched sobs sounded in the crowd, and the people who were extremely angry just now became sad again And fell silent again.

Seeing this scene, Van Rikov clenched his fists tightly, but he was escorted out of the square by the soldiers without saying anything. He will spend the last month of his life in the prison of Stormwind City, and after the calm , under the watchful eyes of the nobles, he was hanged. Of course, the reason for this arrangement is not only for the poor self-esteem of the nobles, but also for a more important purpose.

Do you believe that Mr. Edwin VanCleef planned all this?

The Chaldean priest drew a religious symbol on his chest. He walked beside the Duke of Bolvar and sat in the carriage to Stormwind Fortress under the escort of the guards. In the carriage, he asked softly:

Do you think this matter is as simple as it seems on the surface?

Duke Bolvar leaned on the seat of the carriage, he shook his head:

No, any reasonable person can see that Van Cleef is just a pawn in a larger conspiracy. It is not so much that he is terrible in person, but rather a member of the Brotherhood of Stonemasons throughout the kingdom. It is difficult to predict what happened after the Stormwind Rebellion. , what their attitude is, but even if only one-third of the people are incited, we will face a war within the kingdom.

His Excellency the Duke rubbed his forehead wearily:

People who are dissatisfied with the rebuilding of the kingdom are everywhere...a seemingly ordinary opportunity unites them, which makes me feel worried, and for Van Cleef himself, I don't think a Veterans who have been on the battlefield and fought desperately with orcs will be so reckless. You may not know that Van Cleef’s chief officer on the battlefield is our Master Shaw, but so far, he has never looked for Shaw. Er's help.

The Duke looked at the Privy Bishop:

Do you know what that means?

The Chaldean priest nodded, his fingers sliding on the ritual dagger at his waist, and he said softly:

There is no doubt that Van Cleef thought he could control the situation until the incident broke out. Do you know what he said to me after he was imprisoned last night? He told me that Sir Soma committed suicide, and the pistol The dagger in Jazz's heart has been kept in his home in Westfall...preposterous, isn't it? But if we assume VanCleef is telling the truth...

What exactly do you want to say? My lord bishop.

The Duke of Bolvar asked impatiently:

You mean, a noble knight would sacrifice everything to frame a veteran? Is that possible?

That's not what I mean, but at the level of magic, it is actually very easy to change the will of a person who is not determined.

The Chaldean priest twirled the rosary in his fingers, and said in a low voice:

I'm just warning you, my lord duke, a dark force is growing in the heart of the kingdom where you can't see it. I have noticed some abnormal signs, but I need you to give me permission to let me track it down. ...that is a real big man, and as far as I know, he possesses the ability to change a person's mind...and even manipulate his soul without notice!

Mr. Van Cleef's incident is just the beginning. Believe me, Your Excellency, if the cancer hidden in our hearts is not eradicated as soon as possible, it will continue to lie on our blood vessels to draw strength, until in the end, everything will be ruined.

Chaldea's warning made the Duke silent for a moment, until the two of them came to the main gate of Stormwind Fortress, the Duke nodded slightly. He looked at Chaldea and lowered his voice:

I can't give you direct authority, but I will entrust Master Shaw to cooperate with you...and I am willing to trust you because, like Mr. Van Cleef, you sacrificed a lot for the entire alliance of our people during the orc war , the hero...doesn't deserve to be slandered like this!

I don't know how long it will take you to save a soul, but I can only give you 1 month.
