Chapter 336: SI:7
Wayne's battle process ended too quickly, almost ending the moment it began.
Before many guards could react, the big bandit who had been rampant in Westfall for several years, Edwin VanCleef, had already been beaten into serious injury by this adventurer's fist, fainted on the ground, and completely lost the possibility of escape.
This was undoubtedly a very exciting piece of news. Captain Genset, who was still commanding his team to block the retreat, was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help but show a trace of joy on his face.
He did not hesitate at all, immediately took a rope from his subordinates, tied the fainted VanCleef into a zongzi, and then looked up, full of excitement, and said to Wayne:
"Mr. Wayne, you are truly a powerful warrior."
"Not only did you help us guard this batch of supplies, but you even helped us catch the leader of the Defias Brotherhood, Edwin VanCleef."
"I didn't expect this big bandit to personally come to attack the supplies we were escorting. Fortunately, with your help, otherwise, we people would definitely not have been able to complete the mission and might have all died on the road."
Wayne nodded faintly upon hearing this, and then kicked VanCleef on the ground hard, directly breaking one of his arms to prevent him from just pretending to be fainted.
Hearing the crisp sound of bone breaking, Genset felt a slight chill in his heart and looked up at Wayne, but the world did not show anything unusual. He just didn't expect that this adventurer, who looked relatively amiable, was actually quite ruthless in his actions.
However, as the person in charge of this team, a problem was now placed in front of him.
Should he prioritize delivering the supplies to the guards at Sentinel Hill, or should he deal with the wanted criminal in his hands first?
It was originally just an emergency supply escort mission, but he didn't expect to accidentally catch the leader of the Defias Brotherhood.
This was a wanted criminal that even the most mysterious SI: 7 of Stormwind City had not caught, and a key figure who affected the normal life of the entire Westfall.
As long as he was escorted to Stormwind City and handed over to the military for processing, it would definitely count as no small merit.
Thinking of this, after weighing the pros and cons, Captain Genset looked up and said to Wayne: "Mr. Wayne, since this criminal has now fallen into your hands, I have a proposal. I wonder if you are willing to listen."
Wayne, who roughly guessed what he was going to say, nodded calmly, showing a willingness to listen.
"Please speak, Captain Genset. If the matter is very urgent, I am also willing to cooperate."
Genset laughed heartily first, then organized his language and said:
"Although the matter of escorting supplies to Sentinel Hill is very important, we now have a more important mission."
"If you are willing to assist us in escorting VanCleef to Stormwind City to stand trial, whether it is helping us defeat the bandits before or you personally capturing this wanted criminal, you will receive rewards from the military, and the remuneration will be quite generous."
"However, these supplies cannot be abandoned here, so I plan to send a team member to accompany you, while the others and I will continue to escort this batch of supplies to Sentinel Hill."
"What do you think of this proposal?"
This was of course a good proposal, which just happened to coincide with Wayne's wishes.
So, he whistled and called back the Deathclaw, which was covered in blood and looked like a giant monster.
Then he tied VanCleef to the back of this giant beast, and with Lieutenant Weber, Genset's deputy, he rushed to Stormwind City overnight. Originally, he was also planning to go to Goldshire to visit the Lawrence family whom he hadn't seen for several years, but now that there was an emergency, he would wait until after the matter was settled to meet them.
However, because capturing VanCleef delayed some time, when Wayne set off again, the dusk had come to an end, and the surrounding environment gradually became dim.
But this did not stump Wayne and the Deathclaw. Unlike ordinary humans, both of them already possessed Darkvision, so even in the dark night, it would not affect their marching speed.
The ten-meter-tall Deathclaw, when running, took steps of seven or eight meters each, and this monster had amazing endurance. With sufficient physical strength, it could persist even if it ran for two or three hours continuously.
So soon, under the Deathclaw's sprinting, before dawn, Wayne had already arrived on the road not far outside Stormwind City.
The Deathclaw's terrifying appearance also attracted the attention of many patrolling guards. If it weren't for Lieutenant Weber helping him explain, perhaps he would not have been able to approach the city smoothly with this beast.
While chatting with Lieutenant Weber, Wayne learned a very useful piece of information from him.
In the power system of the Azeroth world, taming pets to help masters fight had formed a relatively complete profession, including how to sign contracts with animals and how to train pets in various combat skills.
Some high-level hunters could even entrust mages to help them make a special Pet Badge, which could briefly store pets into that subspace and summon pets to help them fight in emergencies.
However, it was said that this subspace Pet Badge was quite rare, and ordinary people had no channels to buy it even if they had money.
But in any case, after getting this information, Wayne's trip to Azeroth had one more goal.
Talking while walking, Wayne sat on the back of the Deathclaw, followed by a team of guards monitoring him, until he was led by Lieutenant Weber and the guards to place the huge Deathclaw in a large stable near the city wall of Stormwind City, these guards relaxed their vigilance slightly and let him and Lieutenant Weber take the prisoner VanCleef into the city.
However, just as Lieutenant Weber took Wayne away from the stable and, accompanied by several guards, prepared to go directly to the military to hand over the prisoner.
A middle-aged man who looked like an officer and was riding a horse suddenly came in front of them. After dismounting, he walked to Lieutenant Weber's side, took out a black token, and whispered: "Lieutenant Weber, this is the token of SI: 7."
"According to the order of SI: 7, the prisoner VanCleef is temporarily handled by SI: 7."
"You now take this adventurer and come with me. The officer of SI: 7 needs to learn the details of this matter from you."
His voice was not loud, and those following the crowd could not hear the officer's words, but Wayne had excellent hearing, and such a distance could not hide it.
Lieutenant Weber was stunned upon hearing this, and then picked up the token and observed it carefully.
He seemed to know the situation of the mysterious organization SI: 7. After discussing with the officer in a low voice for a few words, he turned and dismissed the surrounding guards who were escorting them, before saying to Wayne: "Mr. Wayne, would you mind coming with us to a place?"
"The department officer responsible for searching for VanCleef wants to talk to you and learn the details of this matter."
"You can rest assured that Stormwind City will never treat any adventurer with merit unfairly, and you will receive the reward you deserve."
Wayne heard this and scanned the surroundings casually, only to find that in the short time he had entered the city, four figures similar to rogues had already lurked around them. Obviously, SI: 7 still attached great importance to VanCleef.
