Chapter 191

Azeroth, Westfall.

Wayne crawled out of the space rift in the Kobold mine. Who knew, as soon as he opened his eyes, he heard a few gibberish sounds, similar to dog barking, shouting not far away: "Invasion, humans have invaded our mine."

"Come quickly, let's kill this intruder together!"

He cursed his bad luck in his heart, then drew the Statikk Shiv from his waist, looked at the two figures that were still a bit blurry not far away, and without thinking, a chain lightning struck over.

The shouting stopped abruptly.

After killing the Kobolds, Wayne instantly weighed the pros and cons. With a move in his heart, he reached out and took the invisibility cloak from the space bracelet, draped it over himself, and then ran toward another mine tunnel at the fastest speed.

Sure enough, the Kobolds' actions were quite slow. It wasn't until he ran into another mine tunnel that some other Kobolds ran over in a hurry with pickaxes, and then looked at the charred corpses that had been electrocuted into cooked meat on the ground, letting out terrified and angry roars.

Wayne let out a light breath, and taking advantage of the chaos of the Kobolds, slipped out of the mine from another direction. If it weren't for wanting to keep these Kobolds to help him guard the mine, these little things would have been hacked to death by him long ago.

After slipping out of the mine, Wayne didn't stay long. Before entering the world of Azeroth, he already had a preliminary plan, and now he was ready to go to the Lawrence farm he had seen two months ago to ask the locals here for information.

He rode the magic flying carpet and flew quickly in the direction of his memory from last time. Not long after flying, he saw the outline of the Lawrence farm.

It was still summer when he came last time. The flow rate of the Wizard World and the world of Azeroth was almost the same. Now two months had passed, and looking from a distance, the farmland of the Lawrence farm was already full of dense wheat, as well as some other crops. Although they were not yet mature, they still made people feel extra satisfied.

This was the sense of security that food brought to people.

To avoid the residents of the Lawrence farm, Wayne did not land directly on the farm, but like last time, with the cover of the slope, landed under a hillside hundreds of meters away.

When he tidied up his clothes and walked into the farm like an adventurer, he unexpectedly discovered that although it was still daytime, there were no workers working in the farmland of the farm, and the farmhouse in the center of the farm was also quite quiet. Occasionally, he could only hear the neighing of horses and the grunting of the meat pigs in the pigsty.

This abnormal phenomenon immediately made Wayne alert. He slowed down his steps, and at the same time excluded distractions, making his five senses more sensitive, carefully guarding against accidents that might occur at any time.

Sure enough, when he walked to a distance of less than a hundred meters from the central farmhouse, some sounds of shoe soles rubbing against wild grass suddenly reached his ears.

With the keen hearing of a witcher, Wayne quickly judged that two people with bad intentions were quietly approaching him from the left and right sides.

He maintained the speed of moving toward the farmhouse, and his peripheral vision flashed, but he was surprised to find that there were no figures in the places where the sounds came from on the left and right sides, and there were no traces of any other creatures, as if nothing existed.

This surprised him quite a bit, but his hearing definitely wouldn't lie. Although there were no traces, the people with bad intentions on the left and right sides were still moving slowly, and the sound of shoe soles rubbing against wild grass still slowly reached his ears.

Seeing this situation, Wayne simply stopped his steps and turned around quickly, beginning to observe carefully.

Fortunately, when he concentrated and observed carefully, he immediately discovered some clues. Two people wearing tight-fitting clothes, red masks, and holding daggers were half-squatting seven or eight meters away from him, carefully moving forward step by step.

Their outlines were very faint, almost transparent, as if some kind of power was wrapping them, masking their figures.

And seeing the iconic clothing and daggers of these two people, Wayne immediately thought of an organization that ran rampant in the Kingdom of Stormwind: the Defias Brotherhood.

The current plot seemed to be that it had been less than a few years since they rebelled against Stormwind City, and they were in a period of accumulating strength and booming development.

Last time when chatting with Mr. Lawrence on the farm, they discussed the Defias Brotherhood running rampant in Westfall.

However, these thoughts only flashed through Wayne's mind. After discovering the two Defias Brotherhood assassins who had entered the stealth state, he showed no mercy. His right hand instantly sprayed a fan-shaped Igni magic sign, and his left hand raised the adamantine arm guard, and a crossbow bolt shot toward the chest of the person on the left.

In an instant, the Defias Brotherhood assassin on the right was wrapped in flames, his whole body on fire, rolling on the ground, while the Defias Brotherhood assassin on the left was hit in the sternum by the armor-piercing crossbow bolt shot by Wayne. The whole person was like being hit hard in the chest by an invisible fist, instantly falling backward to the ground, spitting out a large mouthful of blood with visceral fragments.

And just as Wayne attacked 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 from inside.

They seemed to have noticed the scene outside the farmhouse long ago. After rushing out of the farmhouse, they immediately let out an angry roar at Wayne and then bumped toward him at a quite fast speed.

And after these three people rushed out, two more Defias Brotherhood members, holding two crossbows, also ran out of the farmhouse.

Facing these suddenly appearing Defias Brotherhood members, Wayne's expression did not change at all.

He first added a Quen Shield to himself, then drew the Statikk Shiv from his waist, retreated quickly for a few steps, and stabbed the unlucky guy who was still wailing and burning on the ground, stabbing a sword into his chest.

Then he hooked his fingers at the three strong men who rushed over.

Until they rushed to his front, less than ten meters away.

Wayne's figure suddenly disappeared and instantly appeared beside the two Defias crossbowmen at the door of the farmhouse who were holding crossbows and ready to shoot at any time.

Before they could react, he swung two swords instantly. One sword cut 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 woke up the three strong men who were holding two-handed axes and looking at the grass where the enemy disappeared, somewhat confused.

They saw Wayne in the farmhouse, wearing a suit of hard armor, and thought they were facing a young warrior who had just started.

Unexpectedly, the other party was actually a mage, not only able to release fire magic but even able to cast spells without incantations, directly performing blink magic. In an instant, he killed four of their companions, leaving only three of the seven of them.

A mage who could use spells so quickly was obviously not someone they could deal with.

Facing the huge gap in strength, the current Defias Brotherhood was not an elite organization. Among the three strong men, a man with brown hair and a goatee immediately shouted with a gloomy face:

"Don't fight, this friend, we are members of the Defias Brotherhood. We have many people, and we are not someone you can afford to provoke."

"Let us leave, and we won't trouble you again. Otherwise, you won't be able to gain a foothold in Westfall."

Wayne listened to all their words with a cold expression, then raised the Statikk Shiv in his hand, without any intention of speaking.

Just when the brown-haired man looked ferocious, thinking that a fierce battle was inevitable, and had already begun to retreat in his heart, Wayne's figure disappeared instantly and appeared behind them.

A powerful slash was swung instantly. After cutting off half of the body of a strong man, a chain lightning shot out from the Statikk Shiv, directly electrocuting the remaining two strong men until their whole bodies trembled, letting out painful and desperate wails, and then collapsed with a burnt smell all over their bodies.

After Wayne walked up and stabbed them twice, the entire farm fell into a strange calm again. The real world was not a data-based world with blood bars like the game world, nor was there a division of levels. Just like these seven Defias Brotherhood members, facing Wayne's sharp blades, lightning, and magic, as long as they were hit in the vital parts, they were all killed in one blow.

In the real world, unless they were gifted like dragons, demigods, or other super lives, otherwise, as long as they were mortals, they were very fragile. No matter who it was, if they were stabbed in the heart by a knife or had their heads cut off, they would die all the same.

There was no division of elite level, Boss level, leader level, or leader level like in the game.

After cleaning up the loot a little, the result was quite pitiful. From these seven people, Wayne only found less than ten gold coins and dozens of silver coins, and the armor-piercing crossbow bolt was also recycled by Wayne.

It wasn't that he cared about the loss of money, but that the crossbow bolts that came with these arm crossbows were all forged by master-level dwarf blacksmiths. Whether it was power or precision, they were not something ordinary blacksmiths could imitate.

After cleaning up the loot, Wayne searched around the farmhouse on the farm, but unfortunately, he didn't find the Lawrence family and the workers on their farm.

And after observing the use of some kitchens, furniture, and bedrooms in the farmhouse, Wayne judged that these Defias Brotherhood members had probably lived on the farm for two or three days.

However, with the assistance of the witcher's senses, Wayne judged one thing through the consumption of food and the use of tableware: besides these seven Defias Brotherhood members, there should be other people on the farm.

Sure enough, ten minutes later, when he carefully searched through some clues, he finally found the Lawrence family and some other workers imprisoned in the basement of the warehouse where fodder was stored.

And these people imprisoned in the dim basement, after seeing Wayne covered in blood, first let out a scream of fear, and then there were some curses and begging for mercy.

Fortunately, before Wayne could explain, the farmer's daughter, Julie, who had a large chest, recognized him.

At this time, this farm girl, because she had been locked in the basement for several days, her body was a bit dirty, her hair was quite messy, and there was a lot of dirt on her face. However, after recognizing Wayne, she still happily leaned forward and said:

"Mr. Wayne, are you here to save us?"

Wayne looked at Julie, revealed a gentle smile, nodded, and said:

"I passed by your farm this time and was just thinking of coming in for a meal, but I didn't expect to run into that group of Defias Brotherhood members."

He drew a small knife from his waist, reached out to cut the ropes tied to Julie's body, and then looked at the others in the cellar and said:

"Don't worry, everyone, the robbers on the farm have all been killed by me. You are safe now."

………………

Half an hour later, Mr. Lawrence took several workers to clean up the corpses of the Defias Brotherhood, while Mrs. Lawrence went back to her room to rest because she was a bit too frightened.

Wayne sat in the living room of the Lawrence family. Julie had brewed a cup of tea for him and fried a few fried eggs and bread and placed them in front of him, then said with lingering fear: "Thank you so much, Mr. Wayne."

"If you hadn't saved us, we don't know what our end would have been."

Wayne picked up the hot milk and took a sip. The taste was not bad, and he felt it was richer than the milk in the Wizard World.

He put down the cup and then asked Julie with some confusion:

"Is the Defias Brotherhood so rampant now? Your farm should be somewhat famous in Westfall, right? They openly kidnapped all of you. Are there no soldiers to protect you?"

Julie heard this, sat on Wayne's right hand side. Because she had just taken a bath, a faint scent of soap faintly came from this farm girl's body.

From the gap in the collar of her top, it was easy to see the wheat-colored but quite plump chest.

Her expression was mostly sorrowful. One hand was on the table, and the other hand was clenched into a fist, somewhat hatefully saying:

"These robbers are becoming more and more arrogant now. Last month, the guards at Sentinel Hill organized a suppression operation, but they were defeated by the Defias Brotherhood."

"Now their guards can only protect themselves at Sentinel Hill, but the power of the Defias Brotherhood is growing."

"All the hooligans and robbers in the entire Kingdom of Stormwind have defected to this organization. They also occupied Moonbrook and the Deadmines, driving all the townspeople out of the town."

"Now, the request for help sent to Stormwind City has no response. The entire Westfall seems to have been occupied by this robber organization."

"Even our farm has been threatened by them. Now they have sent people to imprison us directly, forcing my father to take us to join their organization."

Listening to Julie's chattering and hateful language, Wayne also sighed for them in his heart.

In his memory, the mastermind behind the Defias Brotherhood should be the black dragon princess Onyxia, who was lurking in Stormwind City. She was thriving in the noble circles of Stormwind City at this time and was a very powerful countess. Many guards and nobles had already defected to her.

It was she who helped the Defias Brotherhood develop rapidly, and even prevented the Stormwind City army from suppressing them, and the death of the Queen of Stormwind was also the work of this princess.

People in Westfall wanted to wait for reinforcements from Stormwind City, but they didn't know how long they would have to wait.

Perhaps, in the lifetime of many residents of Westfall, they would not be able to wait for the reinforcements they wanted.

And the thief organization, the Defias Brotherhood, still existed within humanity even decades later.

When Julie was still telling Wayne about the evil deeds of the Defias Brotherhood, Mr. Lawrence, whose forehead was covered with sweat, walked in.

He first expressed his gratitude to Wayne again, and then sat on the chair opposite Wayne with a sorrowful look, sighed, and said:

"Sigh, the wheat planted still needs half a month to mature. I didn't expect that the Defias Brotherhood robbers would target this food so quickly."

"I heard that the number of the Defias Brotherhood is much larger than imagined. They occupied many mines, occupied Moonbrook, and now they are plotting against our farms. It seems they are really ready to take root here."

"This group of robbers is completely unreasonable, and the guards can't beat them. We don't know what to do in the future?"

Listening to Mr. Lawrence's troubles, Wayne drank the milk in front of him in one gulp, thought for a while, and then kindly advised: "Mr. Lawrence, perhaps you should go to Stormwind City to hide for a while."

"Although I saved you this time, I also killed the Defias Brotherhood members. Maybe after I leave, they will send people back to retaliate against you."
