"Huh? What is this...ah! It's actually a reward notice?!"
After finishing her work in Karazhan on the Headwind Path, Anne immediately said goodbye to those troublesome adults in Medivh and left that annoying area with chaotic time and space. Finally, she used the portal to teleport to the name of the Western Wilds. This is the small town of Stormwind Kingdom called Yuexi Town.
People here were walking in a hurry, and no one stopped at the city gate. The nearby guards holding iron-wood shields and long swords also stared at each pedestrian with vigilant eyes. Even Anne herself was looked at with strange eyes. for a long time.
Before she entered the simple city gate of Yuexi Town, little Annie immediately saw a notice board standing at the city gate and the two graphic sketches of criminals and bounties posted on it, which were described on inferior yellow paper. official announcement.

"Tibbers, look, Vanessa and the others seem to have a reward put on them by bad guys!"
Blinking, Annie stood at the front alone, holding her little bear, looking at the bulletin board that almost no one was looking at, and gloating to herself.
Somehow, Annie suddenly thought of a good idea: If she did something bad in Yuexi Town, would those bad guys come and offer a reward for herself?
Of course, this is actually just a thought. She is a peace-loving child. If no bad guy takes the initiative to provoke her first, then Annie is unlikely to casually burn bad people for fun.
"Besides, she is so tall now...she has actually grown to six feet..."
Annie bit her fingers, then started to clasp the fingers of her other hand and silently calculated in her mind: If one foot is equal to a little over thirty centimeters... then, about six feet is equivalent to nearly one and eight meters. height...
Sure enough, time is the most annoying thing!
She herself had only been playing happily in the outside world for about two years. When she came back here again, the little Vanessa who loved to cry had grown into a long-legged sister...
But now, Anne herself is still the same, which really feels a bit inconsistent!
(…)
(If you don’t like it, you can completely release the laws of time that keep time passing in your body at any time, and wait until you grow up in just a few years. It will definitely not be troublesome.
——Tibbers was noncommittal about this matter. Anyway, no matter what happens to its little master, it can never escape the fate of being a pet. Therefore, these things have nothing to do with it and are left to its little master. )
"I don't want it, growing up or something, it's the most annoying thing!"
"It's great that people are smart, well-behaved and cute now... There are so many fun things in the world, and I don't want to grow up so quickly!"
After sternly rejecting Little Bear's bad idea, Annie stood on tiptoe and tore off the reward notice for Vanessa and another mysterious big sister. She just held it in her hand and studied it while walking towards Yuexi Town. s things.
"Hey! Little girl, what are you doing tearing off those reward notices?"
After just a few steps, Annie saw a dirty old man calling her out. The man was holding a lot of reward notices and a bucket of paste. It seemed that the two notices Annie tore off were made of What did he post?
"Those bad guys are going to capture poor little Vanessa, so of course I'm going to tear it off!"
Seeing that the other party still had a hot notice in his hand, Annie blinked and said nonchalantly. Anyway, she can tear it apart if she wants. Why are there so many reasons?
"Go! Go away! How do children know who is a good person and who is a bad person? I'm warning you, go home quickly and don't tear it up again. It's illegal to tear up official documents and notices!"
When he looked up and saw that the little girl had torn off the notice board, the old man cursed and urged the little girl to get out as soon as possible, and impatiently reposted the remaining reward notices.
"Hmph! Of course I know what a good person is and what a bad person is! I know more than all of you here combined!"
Hearing that this dirty, beggar-like old man dared to look down on her, Anne stared back with wide eyes angrily.
"Ha! Okay, okay, you know everything! Then tell me, old man, who is a good person and who is a bad person?"
He smeared the rice paste with a brush casually, and then put a few pieces of paper crookedly on the wooden bulletin board. The dirty man clapped his hands. Today's task was finally completed, and he made more money. A few copper coins.
So, he finally had the idea to turn around and tease the little girl who still didn't leave. He could tell that from the clothes on the other person's body and the clean appearance of his skin and tender flesh, he must be the child of a wealthy family or a noble family, and he must not be from the same family as this poor old man like him.
"..."
Annie opened her mouth, looked at the dirty old man, and suddenly felt a little hesitant.
"Haha! How's it going? I don't know, do you?"
Sure enough, no matter whether he is from a noble family or an ordinary family, he is just an ordinary child no matter what. At most, he has a good life and was born in a good family... He is nothing like his two grandsons. ? Now, under the heavy military tax imposed by the kingdom, it is almost impossible to eat!
"Hmph! I think good people, or those who treat me well, are good people! And those who I think are bad, or want to bully me, must be bad people! In short, no matter who they are, they are good people if they treat me well. Anyone who treats me badly and has bad intentions must be a bad person!"
After saying that, Annie snorted coldly, turned around and left! She didn't want to waste her time bothering this old man here!
"..."
"Although it's just a child's anger...but there seems to be some truth in it..."
Looking at the background of the little girl going away, and then looking at the content on the bulletin board and the half bucket of rice milk left in the bucket, the old man in charge of posting the official document offering the reward couldn't help but sigh.
Once upon a time, their family lived a good life here in Yuexi Town, living on a small farm with several acres of land... But now, when the Kingdom of Stormwind increased taxes and launched a war, his eldest son starved to death. My daughter-in-law also died of illness, and my youngest son ran away somewhere to avoid military service...
Now, his farmland has been confiscated as a fine to pay for his younger son's military service. Now he is the only one left in the family, with two grandchildren who have no ability to survive and rely on him to support... If, that Vanessa, that Defias If the Brotherhood can really divide the land and pay less taxes, maybe she will really be considered a good person to poor people like them?
"..."
"Hey! Tibbers, those people are really stupid... Forget about little Vanessa, she still has a portrait and a rough body image, but this mage sister has nothing? Then what are they doing? Is it possible to catch it?!”
How could they dare to offer a reward for the arrest of a mage whose name was unknown and whose height, height, fatness and weight were unknown? If someone randomly found a fake one to pretend to be, they probably wouldn’t recognize it, right?
(What are you going to do next? The coastline is quite far from here in the west. You have to cross the great wilderness to reach it, and this is a little lower in the middle of the western wilderness. You are now going to the beach to wait for the elves and dwarves. Fleet?
——After coming out of Karazhan, according to the trajectory of the stars and moon in the outside world, it should have been about ten days, so Tibbers reminded his little master again, don’t forget The fleet is about to arrive. Otherwise, it will not be easy to find Vanessa again. )
"There's no need to go... Anyway, after Vanessa and the others arm those soldiers, they will come to attack Yuexi Town sooner or later. Maybe we can wait here?"
The coastline is so long, the world is so big, and it has never been mentioned where exactly it will land, and the specific coordinates are not given, so where can she go to find them?
Besides, looking for or waiting for someone is what bothers her the most. How can she stay here and play comfortably for a few days? Anne just wants to have a good rest here for a few days without having to do anything!
(…)
(If you want to live here and wait, then that's up to you... By the way, I want to remind you: just outside the city, there was an old paladin on horseback who seemed to have been staring at you? You also know that now The Kingdom of Stormwind is in a state of hostility and war with your Flame Alliance. If they recognize you, there will be something to do!
——Although there is only a paladin whose strength is barely passable, neither Tibbers nor his little master takes the other party seriously, but necessary reminders and precautions It still needs to be done, this is the basic duty of Tibbers. )
"Don't be afraid, they can't beat me anyway!"
(But... there are so many of them, it's very troublesome...)
"Hmph! Now Shannox and the others no longer have to guard the Fire Land. If they dare to mess with me, I will summon the Fire Legion, or release those disgusting bugs from the Koprulu Sector. Come out and see who has the most people!”
Her Majesty Queen Anne or Her Majesty the Head of State Anne has a lot of scoundrels. Maybe those who want to work for her can be queued to the end of the universe? If her strength is higher than her own, she doesn't dare to boast that she is the strongest. After all, there are gods, titans, the Burning Legion and other weird existences in this world!
But, if there is a competition between people, she will never be timid!
You know, after the Fire Demon King Ragnaros and the second-fifth Lord Leolis were both killed, the Land of Fire finally re-entered a situation of harmonious development, prosperity and stability.
And now Shane Knox and the others are also urgently training the new Flame Legion. It will only take two or three months at most. After the Land of Flame has completely stabilized from the space shock caused by the Lord of Fire, they will The portal to the City of Fire will be reopened, and then the endless flame army will march south and sweep across those damn Stormwind City coalition forces!
By that time, the Fire Kingdom, which has completely freed up its hands, will be able to produce at least two to three hundred thousand elite fire element troops, and all of them will be high-level or higher-level elites. When the time comes, just ask those in Stormwind City Are the heads of the coalition forces strong enough? !
(Okay... That's up to you... But I'd like to remind you that if you open a portal from the Koprulu sector, energy is a big problem! After all, this is not a Marvel world, a portal across planes. But it can't be left on for a long time, as the energy of the Infinity Stones is no longer unlimited.
——In this world, Tibbers still prefers to summon the fire elemental legion from the fire elemental plane, because this is closer and consumes less energy, even if he just uses a fake space gem to force open the space door. It can pull out three to five thousand fire elements, which is definitely enough to clean up some small fish or cheer for others. )
"You're so annoying, Tibbers... I'm going to have lunch now, don't bother me again!"
(…)
"..."
When little Annie took her little bear and threw the reward notice in her hand into a corner of the town and disappeared around the corner of the street, the leader of the Western People's Army, who had been staring at her with a frown, Grian Stallman, the old paladin, finally came to his senses.
Then, he didn't know what he was thinking, he just lowered his head and pondered.
"Sir Grian, have you found any problems?"
A young knight from an aristocratic family who was also following the old paladin on horseback rode up to Grian's side, and then followed his gaze and looked into Yuexi Town doubtfully.
"No...nothing..."
"Maybe I saw it wrong... Okay, let's go, let's continue patrolling! Although in the recent period, the surrounding Defias Brotherhood members have become a lot more honest due to our suppression, but We cannot relax and must be vigilant!”
After shaking his head and exhaling, Grian Stroman didn't say anything more. Instead, he pinched the horse's belly again and shook the reins, letting the horse continue to trot forward according to the path they used to patrol. stand up. He must lead a patrol once a day in order to warn those with evil intentions and let those people know that he, Grian, has always been here in Moon Creek Town. Whether it is the Defias Brotherhood or others, they must be more honest.
However, just now...
He seemed to see a very familiar little girl... Moreover, the other person seemed to be carrying a stuffed bear... Although it looked like someone, Grian still felt that this might be his own idea of scaring himself. That’s all!
After all, several years have passed, and the age between the one I just saw and the one in the rumors seems to be different?
Compared to the little girl he just saw, Gillian is obviously more willing to believe that the other female mage next to Vanessa when she assassinated the Duke was the legendary person! After all, the remnant of Van Cleef who appeared at the gate of the Kingdom of Stormwind has grown so big now, and there is absolutely no way that the Flame Queen will still look like the little girl she was back then.
"Yes! Lord Grian!"
Soon, a group of more than a dozen cavalrymen from the Western Wilderness People's Army gathered together and rushed towards the road outside Yuexi Town.
————
"Sister, have you noticed..."
"Those guys who were on the farm before followed us quietly as you thought... Moreover, they are all thieves and are following our team invisibly. Could it be that they are really the Stormwind City military intelligence officer?" From the Seventh Office?”
To the north of the central part of the Dimont Wilderness, near Boar Ridge, Pete, Lana and dozens of escorts were pulling nearly fifty carriages. They had left Alexton's farm earlier and walked west for a while. After a short distance, they turned and headed south without anyone noticing, intending to return to the hidden canyon south of them.
Of course, no one noticed that it was true!
Secretly, they knew that there must be many sneak thieves following them all the way! And this situation has long been discovered by a magical equipment with special vision on Peter! It was given to Little Pete when Illidan was still the acting leader of the Flame Alliance. At that time, he didn't know what the purpose of this thing was, but now, he seems to know.
Because under the belt-like blindfold with this special vision, he could clearly see the large group of thieves sneaking around and following them from a distance. There were actually hundreds of them!
Peter felt that it was really not easy to send so many thieves to follow, and ordinary organizations would really take action.
"I know, just ignore them for now!"
"Look, this should be our pick-up point ahead, right? I seem to have seen those soldiers. Later, we will deal with those ill-intentioned guys in the front. We must not delay it until night!"
Looking at the fiery red sun gradually sinking into the horizon in the distance, Lana frowned slightly.
The number of thieves on the other side was really beyond her expectation. Even if they included the rabble who came to respond, it would be difficult to resist so many professional killers, so she decided: wait until they reach the place ahead of the Defias brothers. If you know how to respond, take action against those thieves!
Otherwise, once it gets dark, it will be even more troublesome! In the dark night, facing such a group of professional killers, even Lana herself would probably have no choice but to run away, right?
"Hurry up! Meet in front, everyone is ready to rest!"
Suddenly, Lana, who was riding on the horse, gave a loud shout, causing the grooms and followers, who were already very tired after driving for a long time in the wilderness, to speed up and gather on a high ground ahead.
"Pete! Let's just pretend to urge the team to hurry up and slowly fall behind. You should follow me and be careful around you. I will set fire to them later and force them out!"
Lana retracted her cuff hand and secretly held her staff.
She still remembered that this was one of the two things that the Queen threw directly at her when she shamelessly begged Her Majesty Queen Anne to teach her magic! One of them is the "Hogwarts Spellbook"; and the other is the magical wand in her hand that is different from others:
〈Super powerful Ollivander knock-off wand〉
Purple epic quality, carefully manufactured by Anne Hastur.
Item requirement level 1
Fire spell power increased by 50%
Increases spell haste rating by 100
Magic recovery speed increased by 50%
+2 blazing fire
Soul-bound items cannot be damaged!
Lana, who was stroking the staff in her hand, still knew its composition: it was a twelve-inch long magic staff collected from Quel'Thalas and soaked in the energy of the Millennium Sunwell. The branches of the oak tree, and the core of the wand made of one of the tail feathers of the Fire Eagle Lord Celia. The outside of the wand is also engraved with the patterns of solidity and magic gathering. Finally, the handle is also inlaid with two stars from the Land of Fire. The fire element crystallizes!
Overall, it's a powerful wand.
Lana has always cherished this wand! Although it is very strong and almost impossible to be damaged, she still takes care of it carefully and usually puts it directly in the wand holster on her right arm so that it can be taken out at any time to use against the enemy.
"Okay, sister, please don't worry!"
Peter tied the special cloth band around his brow to ensure that he could sense the sneaking thieves without affecting his sight and hindering the display of his strength. If it's one-on-one, he's definitely not afraid of those guys! However, now that there are so many people on the other side and they are also sneaking, he must be careful.
…
"!?"
Mathias Shore and others were slowly following the Defias Brotherhood's food transport team from a distance. When they were planning to find a suitable time and location to take action, they were surprised to find: in the distance, that The two leaders of the Defias Brotherhood, who had been urging the team to move forward and gather to rest, were suddenly stranded at the back of the team, and dozens of people rushed over from a distance to surround them. Militants?
There is no doubt that those should be the other party's response personnel.
"The flames are blazing!"
Suddenly, the woman on horseback jumped off her horse, and then took advantage of the favorable position in the upwind direction and waved her hand at the knee-high withered yellow grasslands in the western wilderness!
The next moment, a long tongue of fire spurted out from the top of her wand, and stretched a long wall of fire almost hundreds of meters directly below her high ground. Then, driven by the wind, this wasteland The fire quickly spread and began to push towards the hundreds of MI7 thieves who were far behind!
"Oops! They found us!"
"We can't wait until night. Let's go together and act according to the original plan. Remember to kill the mage first!"
Seeing the opponent trying to attack them with fire, Mathias showed up and waved his hands fiercely. He shouted coldly and asked his men to prepare to launch a strong attack from both sides of the wall of fire! And he himself disappeared directly and entered the stealth posture again, intending to bypass the wall of fire from a farther place, and then find an opportunity to sneak attack behind the opponent!
Following the leader's orders, the agents and assassins of Stormwind City's MI7 were carried out very efficiently. They dispersed in tacit understanding and divided into several groups without any further instructions from Mathias, and they all moved towards the wall of fire. Both sides sneaked around.
"Hmph! Leave these on the left to me. Sister, you have to be careful with the ones on the right!"
Seeing the enemy from the special vision dividing into two sides and circling around, Peter sneered and drew out the broadsword from his waist, and then led dozens of Defias Brotherhood soldiers to attack those shadowy figures on the left under the firelight. The stupid thief rushed forward.
Now in this situation, he, Peter, had to take the initiative and never wait until those thieves got close to him.
charge! Shockwave!
With a combo, Peter, who was the pinnacle of a high-level warrior, with the help of his special vision, suddenly rushed over and knocked a thief away hard! Then, he swung his long sword and used a cone-shaped shock wave of anger to instantly knock out several sneaking enemies. When he saw the opponent reveal himself, he grinned at the others who were in shock. He didn't know why they were being attacked. Another group of assassins who turned invisible rushed over!
"Kill them!!!"
After seeing these thieves revealed and the enemies faintly visible in the firelight starting to approach, the Defias Brotherhood soldiers shouted to cheer themselves up, and then began to wave their long swords. Swords and shields formed a formation to meet them,
The next moment, the sound of brutal close-quarters fighting began to sound here.
The thieves of MI7 who are good at assassination were unable to use their hands and feet in this kind of military melee. Every time they tried to sneak by force, they were beaten out by that strange soldier! In addition, the sky was only slightly dim now, and the strong fire made it very difficult for them to escape. Therefore, they had to bite the bullet and face the Defias members holding long swords and shields with short swords and daggers...
"ah!!"
When a Defias warrior was about to help his companions besiege another enemy with a sharp knife, his throat was suddenly wiped by a sharp dagger. When he fell to the ground and struggled, he covered his throat. , more soldiers rushed forward and chopped the MI7 thief who appeared after wiping his throat to pieces...
"..."
"There are many obstacles!"
Compared to the fierce battle on the left, it is obviously much easier for just one person to deal with Lana on one side! She waved her wand lightly, and an invisible wall appeared directly in front of her! Then, those enemies who were sneaking, their figures looking a little hazy in the light of the fire and the coming night, rushed over and were caught off guard, hitting it hard and screaming and falling out!
Now, the ones they hit the wall against have all taken shape.
"The Divine Edge is Shadowless!!"
However, if they thought this was Lana's attack method, they were wrong!
After seeing the enemy appear, Lana sneered and waved her hand, shouting a spell and waved it just like that. There was still no sign. Those members of MI7 who had just stood up after hitting the wall and fell to the ground were still there. Before he could react, he was instantly sliced by an invisible sharp blade!
The next moment...
Dozens of bloody heads or limb fragments with partial upper limbs slipped from their bodies...
At this moment, the other MI7 thieves and assassins who came around from the right were frightened! They didn't expect that the mage's attack method was so weird, completely different from the mage they had seen.
However, when they were horrified, Lana, the conjurer of the new faction of Azeroth, did not stop there, because she knew that there were at least dozens of enemies surrounding her!
"Fluorescence!!"
This time, Lana did not continue to attack the enemy. Instead, she fired a white light ball with strong light into the sky. Then, it suspended in mid-air, illuminating the surrounding area as if it were daytime! And under that dazzling magic light, all the thieves lurking around were illuminated.
"Very good!"
"Long live the Master Mage!"
The Defias soldiers who had been severely suppressed by the thieves and the followers who came from a distance to support them, when they saw that the enemy had nowhere to hide, they all regained their morale and surrounded the enemy again. .
Invisible thieves are scary, especially at night! Because you have no idea when your neck will be wiped! But now, the other party has revealed his figure, and the number is not as large as that of their brotherhood, so they don't give in to each other at all!
Thieves who can't sneak are no better than recruits like them! They have long swords and shields, while the other side has short daggers and daggers. Which one is better and which one is worse is clear at a glance!
"Collapse!"
"All petrified!"
"Expelliarmus!"
As the enemy was completely revealed, Lana quickly waved her wand again, causing the enemies in the distance to either scream and faint on the ground; or to freeze in shock and become unable to move as if they were petrified; or to be in disbelief. Looking at the empty hands after the weapon flew away...
They were a little confused. What kind of mage had nothing to do but study this weird magic that makes weapons fly away by themselves?
"Shattered to pieces!!!"
Feeling cruel in her heart, Lana didn't care whether her methods were cruel or not. She just pointed her wand at the enemies in the distance one after another quickly. In the next moment, rapid red lights emanated from her The wand flew away, and the enemies who could not move or were unconscious were blown to pieces by the spell, and the shattered corpses and bright blood directly dyed a large area of these yellow weeds in the western wilderness red, and Just like red flowers blooming...
"!?"
"Armor protection!!!"
Suddenly, Lana, who seemed to have discovered something was wrong, finally stopped suddenly from killing the thieves, and instead used the wand to hit herself!
Click! !
Then, in the next moment, an icy blue short blade suddenly pierced in front of her body. About two inches away from her throat, it was hit by the golden shield-like membrane that suddenly appeared on her body. , and then, before the revealed enemy had time to exert any force, he was ejected by the protective spell with faint traces of armor.
"Hmph! You can actually become invisible and sneak under my fluorescent light. It seems that you are quite capable. You should be their leader, right?"
After secretly thinking that she was in danger, Lana squeezed the wand tightly and pointed the tip of the wand at the opponent. She knew that this enemy might not be easy to deal with. She had to go all out and not hold back any more. If possible, she would use some special spells.
"Hmph! Mage, you won't have such a good chance next time!"
Mathias didn't hesitate, swung his dagger, ran a zigzag route towards the female mage again, and rushed towards her quickly!
The moment he was bounced away just now was nothing to a master like him! He decided to try again to see if he could take the opponent by force. If not, he could only retreat temporarily and wait until night fell or their helpers arrived before trying again.
"I'm afraid you won't have another chance! There are many obstacles! Get locked up quickly!!"
There were two more spells in a row. Before Mathias had time to react when he hit the obstacle, two more spells in a row hit Mathias who had to stop suddenly.
Shadow cloak!
disappear!
However, after the other party was imprisoned, what surprised Lana was that the other party was able to dispel her magic in an instant and forcefully sneak into her again, suddenly disappearing.
"Reveal yourself urgently!"
It's a pity that what Lana doesn't lack most is various spells to fight the enemy! So, Mathias, who had just sneaked around before he could get behind the enemy, was shocked to find that he was revealed again?
Moreover, the head of that woman's staff was actually pointed at him at this critical moment? !
"Avada Kedavra!!!"
In an instant, at dusk, when the night was about to enter and there was still a ray of red light in the sky, a strong green light began to light up on the tip of Lana's twelve-inch wand, and directly illuminated the western wilderness. This large area scared the kobolds or money wolves in the distance who noticed the movement here and planned to come to hunt. They turned around and avoided this place from a distance...
Animals have very strong instincts and they all know that that green light carries a strong aura of death!
