I don't know if it was affected by the previous riots, but the atmosphere on the street has become tense these days. Guard patrols became more intensive, and inspection posts were set up at various crossings.
The guards also posted wanted notices on bulletin boards at various street intersections. Auster squeezed in the crowd to watch, and suddenly saw the notices wanting him.
It said that a red-haired villain, about 5 feet 3 inches tall, attacked the pickets in the Cavalry, robbed serfs, and stole war horses. There was a reward of 300 gold. There are crooked figures painted next to them. Although they look like simple drawings, let alone they are quite expressive.
Auster was even a little smug when he learned that he was wanted. The bounty of 300 seems to be quite high. The residents in the town only earn about one or two gold for a day's work. Until he saw a wanted notice for the red-masked robbers;
The wanted order states that bandits have recently raided state warehouses and stolen a large amount of magic supplies and military ration reserves. These people uniformly wear red masks, commit crimes in gangs, and use engineering contraband weapons. They are very dangerous. Anyone who finds them should immediately notify the Kingdom's Western Frontier Corps. Those who provide precise clues will be rewarded with 500 gold, and those who kill or capture one of them will be rewarded with 5,000.
Oster was a little disappointed. He was only worth so much, but it was less than one-tenth of what the horse bandit was worth. Listening to the whispers of the onlookers on the sidelines, this group of red-masked bandits did not rob small businessmen and citizens, but specifically robbed the warehouses of the church and the kingdom, as well as wealthy men who were closely connected with the government. Moreover, at dawn, they will distribute the looted food and supplies near the refugee camps in the suburbs, allowing the victims to take them;
Officers and soldiers launched many encirclement and suppression campaigns, but the bandits always came and went without a trace. Older people say that these people are just like a certain brotherhood that traveled across the west many years ago. Except for the red masks, the engineering puppets and bombs they use, which are banned by the kingdom, are the symbols of the Brotherhood of Craftsmen back then.
When Auster heard it, Red Mask, Brotherhood, isn't this the famous villain Defias in the game? This thieves organization, which has been mentioned thousands of times by players, is actually a group of righteous bandits who rob the rich and give to the poor. It seems that the chronicle really confuses right and wrong, and distorts right and wrong to the point of outright.
Although he was a little angry, Oster then thought about it, what does this have to do with him being a time traveler? Whether Defias or the officers and soldiers are good or bad will not affect the code of conduct of the Fourth Natural Disaster. Whoever gives the mission is the NPC, and whoever drops the equipment is the monster;
Before the Defias leader Van Cleef was killed by players, he was still shouting "You are being used!" "Our cause is just!" However, what's the use? After the history books were changed, they were still rebel thieves. . As for myself, I don’t care if I don’t participate, just make money with peace of mind.
On this day, Oster was still performing on the street. A large group of heavily armed officers and soldiers suddenly arrived and arrested the young men they saw.
These soldiers all wore silver-plated enchanted armor, rune swords and shields, held scroll guns in their hands, and drove huge steam tanks. At a glance, you can tell that they are not at the same level as the previous lord soldiers and town guards. They are the regular legions of the kingdom.
The officer stood at the street corner and loudly read the king's order, saying that every Titan descendant who is strong and of the right age must respond to the edict of the Holy Light and the great god-king Odin and go to the north to support the war between the gods and the evil legions.
According to the announcement that Auster had seen on the bulletin board before, due to the recent tightness on the Northern Expedition front line, the Kingdom's Parliament has passed a new garrison bill, which stipulates that all registered male citizens must report to the territorial barracks within a time limit. That is to say, the recruitment system became a compulsory military system.
Soon the soldiers arrested a large number of young and middle-aged men, put them in large blue flowers symbolizing the Kingdom of Stormwind, and stuffed them into carriages with "Glory of the Northern Expedition" on them. It can be seen from the howls of people running for cover and being caught before they can escape that the people do not think this is an honorable and good job;
Suddenly the streets were in a state of panic, and there were tragic scenes of separation of flesh and blood, and separation of wives and children everywhere.
Auster already knows that the Northrend version of this world line has never ended, and is mixed with many events of the Cataclysm. The Northern Expedition has been going on for more than four years, and its purpose is not to seek revenge against Arthas, but to support the Titans of Ulduar. The entire kingdom was mired in war and exhausted. But he never thought that the catcher would catch him on his head;
Seeing soldiers coming up from both sides and unable to run away, Oster simply squatted down, grabbed a handful of soil and smeared it on his face, holding a bamboo pole and pretending to be limping. When the officers and soldiers passed by, they would jump up and hug the person's heels, and say with a crooked mouth and eyes, "Okay, okay, I'm so hungry, here, give me a bowl of rice, eat..."
Then the soldier kicked him to the wall in disgust, "You idiot, get away from me."
With his goal achieved, Auster huddled in the corner and watched the show. There were several brothers who were also pretending to be disabled people and fools. With nothing to do, everyone started chatting;
One person said, "Super Brain King's undead army is not a vegetarian. The Titan God King was beaten so hard that he couldn't hold his head up. How can the mortal army be used as cannon fodder. Other alliance countries are passively slowing down their work. Only Stormwind City We went all the way alone and were beaten by Prince Alsace and his army at the Gate of Scourge, and even the commander-in-chief, Duke Fordragon, was captured."
Another person said, "I don't understand. The Kingdom of Stormwind is in such chaos now, and half of the reason is due to the bottomless pit of the Northern Expedition. Why is Your Majesty so enthusiastic? Didn't you still think about disarmament in the early years? "
At this time, an old man with a shiny head and a well-informed look interjected, "Don't you understand this? His Majesty Varian was the first to respond to the Northern Expedition and devoted his entire country to supporting Titan at all costs. One reason, the position of Supreme King of the Holy Titan Alliance."
The first two people asked, "How do you say this?"
Brother Zuoliang said calmly, "Think about it, King Terenas was deprived of the title of High King by the Pope because he initiated the religious reform, but his son Prince Alsace is still the first heir. Although The prince never accepted it, and later he destroyed all the churches in Lordaeron in order to avenge his father, but there has never been an official announcement announcing the replacement of the heir to the throne."
The first person suddenly understood and said, "Yes, now the Pope of Light has withdrawn to the Kingdom of Stormwind, and Prince Arthas has joined the Demon Legion and became a general under King Super Brain. If His Majesty Varian defeats him , to regain the northern diocese, not to mention that he is the only successor to the Supreme King, and even the new pope is probably the best candidate."
Auster benefited a lot from the words of these brothers, and he couldn't help but sigh; at any time, in any world, listening to the opinions of the brothers on the street is the only way to get information.
But there were many terms that he was confused about, so he asked: "What, I'm sorry, what is the 'Super Brain King'? Isn't it the Lich King? What the hell is the 'Holy Titan Alliance'? The alliance is not for An organization established to fight against the orc invasion."
