"Welcome, adventurer."
The moment Celestine and his party stepped onto the roof platform of the ship, the leader of the Defias Brotherhood, Edwin VanCleef, had already appeared, spread his arms left and right in the middle of the platform, and said to them:
"You have overcome many challenges and finally came to me. You even defeated Mr. Punch. It is indeed very good."
Edwin Van Cleef clapped his hands and said, "Pah, pah, pah, pah."
Everene immediately reminded everyone: "Be careful of fraud."
At this time, it seemed that Edwin Van Cleef was the only one on the top platform of the ship, but as a stalker, Evelyn could instinctively feel that there were many people on the platform.
Celestine also turned her head and gave Efrenie a look of understanding, then she took a step forward and said to Edwin Van Cleef: "Surrender, Van Cleef, you have no way out."
"Surrender? Ha!"
Van Cleef sneered a few times and said, "It is impossible to surrender. It is impossible to surrender in this life. At least I will never surrender before overthrowing those garbage in Stormwind City!"
Then Van Cleef changed the subject:
"On the contrary, I heard you introduce yourself to your family before. You said you were Celestine?"
Celestine: "Yes, what's wrong?"
Van Cleef: "As expected, you are a relative of Orison, the owner of the Golden Rose Inn in Stormwind City's business district."
Celestine frowned slightly. She didn't expect Van Cleef to know her so well.
Van Cleef also noticed the changes in Celestine's expression and knew that his words had an impact on her, so he continued:
"I have also stayed in Stormwind City before, but the nobles there,
Those greedy, stupid and evil nobles stung me deeply! "
"Celestine, you and I are the same. We are both from the common people in Stormwind City. We have also worked hard and want to live a good life through labor."
"But what's the result? What's the result!"
When he mentioned Stormwind City and the past, Van Cleef clapped his hands on his chest excitedly and shouted: "I am standing here, and you are standing opposite me. We want to fight each other, but those nobles are still living and drinking. "
After saying this, Van Clift paused for a few seconds, observing the change in Celestine's expression, and said, "Don't you want to change all this? Are you willing to let Stormwind City continue to be ruled by those insects?"
At this time, Van Cleef stretched out his right hand to Celestine: "So, join me, Celestine, you and I are the same, let us overthrow Stormwind City together!"
As soon as Van Cleef finished speaking, Cato Sicarius, who was behind Celestine, drew his sword and wanted to step forward, but was stopped by Katarina Greyfax beside him. :
"Don't worry, Sicarius, trust Celestine."
Immediately, Celestine spoke: "I know, Uncle Van Cleef, when you were the leader of the Masons' Union, Aunt Orison had a good relationship with you. But then you disappeared, and Aunt Orison still had a good relationship with you for a while. I kept talking about you until later, you became the leader of the Defias Brotherhood."
"I know that you led the Masons' Guild to rebuild Stormwind City; I also know that after you completed the construction, the nobles deducted all your wages, and the entire Masons' Guild almost starved to death on the streets."
「
That's right, Uncle VanCleef, just as you said, the nobles in Stormwind City are all insects, and they can't manage the country well at all. "
"But I won't join you."
Hearing this, Van Cleef snorted and pulled out two scimitars, but Celestine continued:
"Uncle Van Cleef, because you are wrong."
Celestine also drew her sword, but her words did not stop: "I know that you established the Defias Brotherhood to help your colleagues in the Masons' Union, but look at the Defias Brotherhood today. What has become? They looted homes and homes, looted everywhere, and committed all kinds of evil!"
"Your brotherhood is no longer the masons it once was; they
It has completely turned into a criminal gang composed of bandits and villains. "
"In my opinion, Uncle VanCleef, you are no different from the insects in Stormwind City now, you just changed your way of oppressing the people."
"You know, Uncle Van Cleef, when I killed the first Defias bandit in the North County Abbey, I have been waiting for this day, the day when you can gain peace forever!"
Van Cleef let out a "hum" and threw a flash bomb that "disappeared" on the spot.
Celestine raised his sword and looked around cautiously.
This is the base of the Defias Brotherhood, and here is everything Van Cleef has worked hard to manage. He will not give up here, and he will fight to the end.
"superior!"
Sure enough, just a few seconds later, more than a dozen figures emerged from the darkness and attacked Celestine and her team.
"I, Cato Sicarius, will defeat them!"
The well-prepared Cato-Sicarius lifted
The big sword in his hand was slashing at the nearest Defias black-clothed guard.
The guards in black, wearing black leather armor and holding sharp daggers, are Van Cleef's most loyal and elite subordinates.
"Tch, these guys are in trouble!"
Evereni felt troubled just by meeting her. The black-clothed guard in front of her was very skilled, but she couldn't benefit from it.
Belisarius Caul was also chased by several black-clothed guards. Fortunately, as a mage, he could use the "Flash" technique. He could successfully distance himself from his opponents by teleporting in a small area, and he also took out his engineering device. .
"That's enough, Belisarius Cawl, stop playing with your engineering devices, be careful not to electrocute yourself again."
While throwing a "Power Word-Shield" to Belisarius Call, Katarina Greyfax shouted to Celestine:
"Celestine, kill Edwin VanCleef and end this!"
The fateful battle between Celestine and Edwin Van Cleef has actually begun.
Celestine was always on alert with her sword raised, and glanced around with sharp eyes, because she knew Edwin VanCleef was around.
Unlike the strong tauren warrior Mr. Punch, Edwin VanCleef was trained by Master Shore in MI7 in his early years and is an excellent stalker. Therefore, his fighting style is not head-on fighting, but a head-on fight. It was a stealth assassination, so Celestine had to be careful.
"Whoosh!"
Too late to say, but soon enough, the sound of a blade cutting through the air came from Celestine's left side. Celestine immediately turned around and looked to the left, but there was a sharp sound coming from his right arm. pain!
"prick
La! "
That was the sound of the blade cutting through flesh and blood. It turned out that the sound of breaking through the air on the left was the bait, and the right was Van Cleef's real attack direction. At the same time, the experienced stalker disappeared into the shadows again.
Strange, the wound is not as deep as expected?
Celestine glanced at the injury on his right upper arm. It didn't seem to affect his ability to lift the sword. Could it be that Van Cleef's attack was a mistake?
But just a few seconds later, Celestine immediately discovered a problem. The wound on his right arm was bleeding. Even if Celestine took the time to cast the healing spell "Flash of Holy Light", he still could not stop the blood from dripping from the wound. .
There was no mistake in Van Cleef's attack. It was the Rogue's signature skill "Split", an insidious killing move that could make the opponent bleed continuously. As time passes and Celestine's blood continues to drain, she will surely collapse.
No, we can't let it go on like this, I must defeat it immediately...
Just when Celestine started to get impatient, for some reason, the figure (Mikaela?) wearing golden armor and emitting golden light suddenly appeared in her mind, which also made Celestine calm down. .
Why did Van Cleef choose the bloodletting tactic? Why doesn't he use the ruthless assassination skills of a stalker instead of consuming me with blood?
Celestine immediately thought of the answer, because before, Heavy Fist and I
He has witnessed all the battles that happened. Even the strong tauren warrior was knocked down by him from the front. As a stalker, Van Cleef will certainly not confront him head-on. He will definitely use his stealth advantage to consume him through bloodletting tactics. I.
So what should I do?
golden body in mind
Shadow made a mysterious voice: "Seize the opportunity and decide the outcome with one strike!"
The guidance of the "Emperor" (Michaela: Asneeze) suddenly sounded in Celestine's mind, and the Paladin completely believed in that mysterious voice.
"Holy Light, give me power!"
At this time, the sound of piercing the sky sounded again on Celestine's left side. Van Cleef used this move to deceive Celestine and successfully cut a bleeding wound on her right arm. Could it be that Are you saying that Van Cleef is going to repeat his old tricks?
"Trust your own judgment."
The voice of "Emperor" sounded in Celestine's mind again. This time the Paladin no longer hesitated. The golden wings of light unfolded from her back, the holy light shined on her body, and the power of the holy light was even more powerful. Infused into her weapons.
"Rage of revenge!"
"Crusader Strike!"
Without hesitation, Celestine raised her sword and slashed at the left side where the sound of breaking through the air came from. This time, the touch from the sword showed that she had hit it!
"ah!"
With a scream, Van Cleef fell to the ground with a sword in his chest. Seeing the leader fall, even the most elite Defias guards in black completely lost their fighting spirit and dropped their weapons and fled.
"you lose."
Celestine walked up to Van Cleef.
Van Cleef used his last strength to push himself up, sat on the ground, looked at Celestine and said, "Fool, my actions are just!"
However, Celestine shook her head: "I'm sorry, Uncle Van Cleef, your behavior has long been unjust."
After saying that, Celestine put away her sword and gave Van Cleef a happy blow. But, looking at the corpse in front of him, Celestine
He lowered his head and said secretly:
"Actually, you are right. The insects in Stormwind City are indeed bastards. One day I hope I can clean them all out, but not in your way."
"I knew you could do it."
As the battle ended, Greyfax walked to Celestine's side and cast healing spells to heal her injuries while saying:
"Cut off Van Cleef's head and take it back as evidence."
Originally, Celestine wanted to raise her sword, but at this moment, she suddenly saw the door of the room on the top of the ship opened a crack, and there seemed to be a little girl inside!
Could it be that……
In the end, Celestine put down his sword and said, "It's not necessary. Just leave his body intact. We can just use his ring as evidence."
In this way, the five members of Celestine's team returned to Sentinel Ridge in the Western Wilds with news of victory.
The leader of the Westfall People's Army, Grian Stroman, smiled on the spot after seeing Van Cleef's ring and confirming his death.
The people of Westfall have been oppressed by the Defias Brotherhood for too long!
"here you go!"
Grian Stroman handed a large bag of coins to Celestine and said, "This is the promised reward. Thank you very much."
It was supposed to end here, but Julian Stallman suddenly thought of something and spoke again:
"By the way, I heard that Stormwind City is recruiting warriors to go to Arathi to support its allies. You are so skilled, do you plan to sign up? I happen to know a few friends in Stormwind City..."
