Auster pondered for a long time. If these are the real history, combined with what he has learned before, the occupation of Edwin VanCleef, the legendary leader of the Defias Brotherhood, is probably not a combat thief in the game, but a legendary one. craftsmen;
The artillery warships in the Dead Mines and the puppet robots all over the mountains in the west were created by him. Defias also relied on these engineering creations to be able to compete with the kingdom that monopolized the power of holy light and magic. It's just that his final defeat was too childish. He was assassinated just like in the game.
Auster asked, "How could Van Cleef be so careless? As a leader of the rebel army, with heavy troops and advanced technology, he was simply assassinated?"
Skaar shook his head and said, "It was not actually an assassination. He was killed head-on by a group of strange adventurers deep in the heavily guarded fortress, in front of his office door. The records about the whereabouts of these assassins are full of doubts, and there are various signs. It shows that they are not like creatures of this world at all.”
Auster was stunned, adventurer? Not this world? This is how the same thing?
Skar pondered for a long time and said, "Originally, it is impossible for a thoughtful craftsman leader to make stupid mistakes. He rarely leaves the base fortress where hundreds of elite guards are stationed, and he has also set up many suspicious formations. No one knows where the real command post is. Yuexi Town is located in the underground space deep in the mine, on a secret and strong armored ship. The Royal Army of Sentinel Ridge has sent many spies, but they can't even find the leader, let alone hurt him.
However, on that day, a team of five adventurers who came from nowhere, armed with the simplest equipment and weapons, fought their way through the mines that looked like military fortresses, killing all the people they saw. Every heavily armed Brotherhood officer and engineer mecha. Then he stole explosives and blasted open the fortress gate, and snatched artillery to repel the reinforcements. Five rebel generals were killed that day alone;
Finally, in front of the command room, they killed many elite guards and the battle master Van Cleef himself who was proficient in swordsmanship. Afterwards, under the encirclement and suppression of the entire fortress soldiers, the attackers were not only unscathed, but they also jumped off the side of the ship dozens of meters high with the leader's head, and fled out of the back door of the mine with great arrogance. "
Auster was speechless and Starr continued;
"It's incredible, right? They have done something that the Storm Royal Family could never dream of doing. Even if there are five elite regiments of the Royal Guards, coupled with all the court mages and knight lords, plus the support of airships and tanks, they may not be able to achieve this. Not to mention five poorly equipped adventurers; these were not mortals, they were clearly demigods or reincarnated titans.
Moreover, after making such an earth-shattering move, these people who made extraordinary achievements had no intention of making their achievements public. They took Van Cleef's head to Sentinel Ridge controlled by the Royal Army, and threw it hastily to the then unknown guard captain Grian Stroman. They only exchanged it for a few dozen silver coins and some tattered armor before disappearing. In subsequent history, these people never appeared again, and even their names were not left. "
As he spoke, Skaar showed a puzzled expression; "...Obviously, even a drunken bard cannot make up any outrageous legend. However, it just happened in reality. Diffie The mysterious death of Leader Ya is one of the most confusing and unsolved cases since the founding of the Kingdom of Stormwind, and even in the entire history of the Alliance. There have always been different opinions on the truth about this matter, and there are at least more than a hundred versions;
Some people said that they saw with their own eyes that the five adventurers fell to the hands of the first wave of Brotherhood sentries as early as they arrived at the outermost edge of Yuexi Town. Some people also said that after those strange people went deep into the mine, they were caught and killed by patrolling soldiers and workers, and their bodies turned into withered bones on the ground. Many people swear that they have seen or even fought against these adventurers themselves. But somehow, these people just can't be killed, and will soon come back unscathed, without any fear or confusion; they just go to the mine again and again, one after another, until they succeed.
Although there were many witnesses, no one could explain the contradictory details of the incident, as well as the identities and appearances of those people. Many historians believe that this is an evil illusion released by the kingdom's court mages that can perform collective hypnosis; only the most evil secret techniques can make such ridiculous things happen. But no matter what, Van Cleef's death and the subsequent failure of the Brotherhood's uprising are indisputable historical facts. "
Oster was completely stunned, his mind was blank;
These descriptions were all too familiar to him, and they all described the fourth natural disaster, which was their group of players. Aren't those five adventurers who seem to be heartless, but extremely powerful and unable to be killed or driven away no matter what, just the underdogs of the Five Man Book?
Since traveling through time for half a year, he has always believed that he has come to a real different world; this place is only slightly similar to the games he knew in his previous life, but has no other connection. Now it seems that it is not as simple as imagined;
Van Cleef was actually killed by a player from another world. Such information is tantamount to announcing in the official history of the earth that it was an alien who killed Kennedy.
Even in Chronicles, in most plots, the characters controlled by the player do not exist. Those historical events were all accomplished by NPCs themselves, and players just opened a window to watch and pick up equipment;
But the death of Van Cleef is different. It is a very special plot, different from any other part; this is one of the very few important historical events in the chronicle that is clearly recorded as being achieved by players.
Auster had mixed feelings. He once thought that his time travel and rebirth was a coincidence, but this may not be the case.
Skarr thought of something, put down his teacup, stood up, and said to Oster, "It's already late, let's go to the last visiting point today. It's not far away, right at our feet."
Oster followed the others down the steps to the bottom of the cave, and came under the stone wall hanging with the Brotherhood flag. Skarr said as he walked along the way;
"About the Brotherhood Armory, this is the first time I have told the members who joined later. After all, there are many people talking, and it has not yet come to the final showdown. Our strength is still weak now. Although the rebels occupy the northeastern part of the wilderness The vast countryside, but most of the towns and fortresses are still in the hands of the official army. Except for the surrounding areas of Heishan County, the resistance forces in other areas are not systematic. What's more, it is very close to Sentinel Ridge, where the kingdom's most powerful troops in the Western Frontier Prefecture are stationed. Most of the troops, as well as Gryan Strowman's personal army;
In order to end the suffering of the people on this land, the only way is to clear out the remaining forces of the Black Mountain County government as soon as possible and connect the resistance areas together. When the time is right, we will raise the Defias flag again, gather the Brotherhood members hiding in various places in the Western Frontier State, and move to the disaster areas in the west and north to mobilize the people to resist. Relying on the support of the masses to obtain unlimited power, coupled with the technology of craftsmen, a large army was gathered to surround Sentinel Ridge and launch a decisive battle against the main force of the Royal Army. Thus, the forces of Stormwind City were completely driven out of this land and achieved final victory. "
As he spoke, Skar put his hand on the stone and pushed down the mechanism. After a roar, the rock wall separated on its own. The secret door opens, and there is a cave inside.
Skar walked down the darkroom and continued, "... Of course, this is the most ideal situation. Rulers will not always be so timid and cautious. History has proven that once their fundamental interests are touched, they will immediately unite. , extremely cruel.
Now, to deal with the local guards and the skitarii with little combat effectiveness, rune guns and engineering grenades are enough. But the rule of the most powerful country in the alliance is not such a fragile thing. They also have the tanks, cannons and airships of the regular regiments, the forbidden arts of the court archmage, and the power of the Holy Light of the Holy Knights. Facing more powerful enemies requires the use of more powerful weapons. "
