When Case, Pullman and others eliminated the remaining gangsters and rushed to Auster, the rain of blood was still pouring down. Seeing Oster covered in blood and unknown objects, Keith was shocked and said, "Deputy Gang Leader, are you okay? Where are you injured?"
Auster said slowly, "It's not my blood."
Pullman stepped on something, a crushed Stormwind helmet. When he turned it over with his feet, half of his crushed head was revealed, with a distorted face, bulging eyeballs, and white fluid flowing out.
Pullman was disgusted and kicked away. Looking around again, I saw that the empty field was evenly distributed with the scattered corpses of gangsters and officers and soldiers.
And Auster, who stood in the sea of blood on the mountain of corpses, soaked in red rain, was like the God of Punishment counting the corpses in hell.
Pullman was amazed and whispered to Case beside him, "Just now, you said, who are we going to protect?"
The surviving villagers knelt down to Oster and thanked him for saving his life. Although all the enemies were executed on the spot, their homes were also completely burned down, leaving not a single person alive.
After a slight repair and washing off the blood, Oster asked Case to leave some people to protect the villagers and lead them to the nearest rebel outpost to seek shelter. He also fulfilled his promise and took the orphan named Danny with him on the road.
Before leaving, Oster looked at the corpses and ruins all over the village without saying a word. I thought to myself, if I had taken action earlier, would it have saved so many people from dying?
After a second thought, he shook his head again; there is more than one village, and there are more than one returning regiment and army. This kind of thing happens all the time in Black Mountain County, in the west, and in the Kingdom of Stormwind. If anyone can be saved, he is not a savior.
Moreover, the reason why he took action was because as a modern person, it is impossible to turn a blind eye when witnessing the murder of children. The process is also extremely dangerous. If you are just a little bit unlucky, you will die countless times;
In addition, it also consumed all the energy Sa Shu had accumulated and wasted the opportunity to escape that he had been waiting for for several months. Oster thought to himself that this time it was an accident, because he couldn't stand it and forced himself to show off, so he couldn't be so stupid next time.
On the way, Pullman rode up to him and asked Oster, "Deputy gang leader, you didn't expect that the white bandits were going to harm this village, so you delayed your trip for various reasons, right?"
Auster glared at him and said, "No, don't make sense of others unnecessarily."
Pullman smiled and said, "Haha, I'm sorry, I understand. When my mother was alive, she told me that the details of divination and other magic that reveal secrets cannot be revealed. I won't say any more."
Later, when the convoy passed by a small market town, they saw smoke everywhere and the militiamen were fighting fiercely with the invading bandits at the intersection.
Although they are said to be bandits, in fact, these people are supported by money and equipment from the government and landlord consortia, and they are hired to continue harassing the villages and towns in the rebel base areas.
Due to their poor equipment and small numbers, the militiamen suffered heavy casualties and were about to be defeated. At this time, the orphan Danny, who was riding the same horse as Pullman, saw this and jumped off the horse without hesitation and rushed over. Pullman quickly jumped down and caught up to stop him;
"What are you doing, little Danny? It's very dangerous ahead!"
"I want to kill all those bad guys and avenge my parents and fellow villagers!"
"But you are too young. Just leave the fighting to us and the deputy gang leader."
"No, I am also a warrior. Please give me a weapon. I want to fight too!"
"Okay, can you use a gun?"
"No, but I can learn!"
"That's great, let's go together!"
After saying that, the two children, one big and one small, rushed forward and joined the militia team to fight. Inspired by them, other members of the escort also charged forward with guns and horses. The two officers, Oster and Case, fell behind and had no choice but to follow.
These former Beggar Clan personal guards were carefully selected and trained by Skarr. Although they were small in number, they all had extraordinary skills. And they use magic engineering firearms and bombs made with Brotherhood technology. They are well-equipped and have excellent combat qualities;
Especially the young Pullman, although he has a somewhat impulsive and careless personality, his shooting skills are really superb. No matter how far the distance, he has never missed the target. He can only get more lives with one shot. And the reloading and reloading are very fast, as smooth as clouds and water. It can even rebound with the help of walls and the ground to achieve dead-end killing.
I saw him protecting Danny with one hand, and holding a dozen heads on both sides. He also deliberately broke a gangster's knee, giving Danny the opportunity to draw first blood. Oster thought about one day getting Pullman an artifact with a name, just like the big gun that the female magic hunter had before, so that his combat effectiveness could be improved to another level.
Speaking of the female magic hunter with purple eyes and dressed as a mage, she escaped alone the moment before the group teleportation took effect. Auster saw with his own eyes that she turned the spell-breaking gun named Steinberg, used magic bullets to shatter the binding magic under her feet, and then flashed away. This was a fairly accurate judgment, otherwise part of her would have been among the corpses in the empty field.
Judging from the fact that this person didn't care about the life and death of other officers and soldiers, including the commander, as Auster had speculated, she might just be a rare elite who was temporarily traveling with the guards and was bumped into by him. After all, of the weapons named by Sashu, Auster has only encountered this one so far. It is unlikely that such a person would go all the way to join the military police team doing dirty work, as he might have other agendas.
Under the attack of the convoy, the gangsters in front of them were quickly killed and injured, and the rest collapsed and fled for their lives. After the battle, the militiamen, who had been demoralized because of the delay in reinforcements, excitedly rushed to tell each other when they heard that the legendary red-haired villain had arrived.
The next day, while passing through another village, I came across the town's landlord, who was holding a public trial of peasants who owed rent with their servants armed with live ammunition. They regarded the tall, well-equipped Auster and others as people sent by the government, and invited the latter to attend the trial.
Since these people seemed to be reasonable and at least still following the procedures, Oster stopped the team members who were trying to draw their guns and sat aside to watch calmly.
The landowner took out a carefully preserved copy of the land lease. Auster looked at it and found that the rent on it was paid in advance for 100 years. According to the standard of basically five years for a major version of Warcraft, the current rent for Cataclysm 4.0 will not be paid in full by the resurrection of Lord of the Void in 18.0.
Oster was still trying his best to restrain himself and asked the other party, "When you signed these contracts, did the farmers do it voluntarily, or were they held at knifepoint by you?"
The landowner said, "Of course it's voluntary! It's written in black and white, signed and stamped, how can it be faked? It's very fair."
Auster pulled out the musket from his waist, loaded it and put it on the table. "Then can we sign another one voluntarily? You sell me your kidneys and land, and I will pay a deposit of one cent first, and the rest will be paid." The payment will be settled after 100 years?"
At this time, the guards had taken the opportunity to move over, disarmed all the servants, and kneeled on the ground with their guns pointed at them.
No matter how blind the landlord was, he could see that something was wrong. He said to Auster with a grimace, "Sir, no matter which side you are from, you have to be reasonable in everything. I am different from those evil rich people. My tenants are very grateful. As for me, people say I have a kind heart. When others charge 99%, I charge 98%. If I hadn’t given them a bowl of rice, they would have starved to death..."
Auster didn't wait for him to finish, he just snapped his fingers and hit the landlord with a pyrotechnic on the butt, sending him to heaven. The latter rose up from the ground, smoking like a rocket, and exploded into a firework at high altitude.
All the farmers present knelt down and shouted, "Lord Holy Light!"
Auster was helpless, raised his gun and shouted, "Stand up, don't kneel!" Then he asked Case to collect the arms of the landlords' servants and distribute them to the farmers to help them establish militia groups.
In the next few days of the trip, things like this happened several times. Auster and his party encountered many scenes of the government troops and returning regiments killing civilians. With the orphans and Pullman taking the lead, the escort no longer evaded the battle and rushed directly to assist the militiamen in the battle;
In fact, after the rebels in Xishan fell into chaos due to internal fighting, the White Army took the opportunity to encroach on the rebel base areas day and night. After the previously driven landlords' armed forces captured many villages and towns under the escort of the government troops, they began to take crazy revenge on the villagers who had helped the rebels and carried out land reform.
Although Oster repeatedly warned himself that the power of Sa Shu was low, and if he continued to make ends meet, it would take until the year of the monkey to save up for the next teleportation spell. Be restrained, peace&love, impulse is the devil.
However, after seeing the brutal behavior of the returning group, he couldn't control himself every time. He took action before the escort and killed the perpetrators on the spot;
Stone is better than knife, grass is better than fire, and people of different species are all lighter. Have you ever seen a baby's skull pierced into strings to ward off evil spirits? Is this still a human being? Trolls wouldn't do this.
Oh no, from what we know so far, the trolls in this world are more civilized than most other races. It was because they were too civilized and seemed out of place that they were slandered by the humans who had occupied their land as primitive people who were bloodthirsty and cruel, barbaric and superstitious, and sacrificed and scalped alive.
Because the colonists really couldn't think of other slanderous words, they often copied their own behavior on others. Take the Gurubashi, which is closest to the Kingdom of Stormwind, for example. Not only is it a peaceful race with tens of thousands of years of history and highly developed agriculture and commerce, it also repeatedly repays evil with kindness and forgives the cruelty and offenses of other races;
Every inch of the current Kingdom of Stormwind was created hundreds of years ago when the trolls rescued and accepted the immigrants from Arathor who crossed the sea from the north. After that, they refused to leave, repaying kindness with hatred, and gradually encroached and annexed them. Twenty-nine years ago, the planet Draenor exploded. When other Eastern Continent countries were unwilling to accept millions of German refugees, only the benevolent Gurubashi agreed to Medivh's request and opened the door of hope there. On the temple area of the country's territory.
Not to mention Amani in the north is simply a collection of tragedies. No matter how the chronicles add fuel to the fire and stir up trouble, everything the trolls did was just to resist the aggression of the allied forces of humans and white elves carving up their homeland. In the history books, it was magically explained that Amani deserved his punishment, and humans and elves rose up to resist. You said that Quel'Thalas and Arathor went against each other, and their territories doubled and tripled respectively without realizing it. It seems that justice can easily overwhelm evil;
The legendary troll leader Zul'jin, who was captured several times and tortured by the Alliance until his hands and eyes were broken off, but still persisted in resisting, was also described as a villain leader, and there were extensive books on how he brutally tortured and killed those who were killed. The counter-invasion turned to the soldiers of the Alliance tribes in the opponent's capital Amani. It's just nonsense, it makes no sense.
Oster tried his best to restrain himself, but he couldn't control his hands. By the time he realized what he had done, Sashu's battery had reached the bottom again and he regretted it endlessly.
