Chapter 397: Vanessa Vancliffe (1)

Grian Stallman has been worrying about what is brewing in this place in the Westfall during this period of time... Especially three days ago, when he saw the great stonemason engineer, Stormwind City. After the daughter of the founder and former leader of the Defias Brotherhood Edwin VanCleef, his anxiety became more serious!
He will never forget the scary little girl who was wearing a tight black leather jacket, short black hair, and hiding her face behind a red kerchief, especially the terrible look in her eyes...
That Vanessa VanCleef seemed to be only fifteen or sixteen years old, but she was vicious in her mind and made a cruel move. A blade of evil shadow power enchanted, instantly killing and wounding the militia feet of Moon Creek Town. A dozen people... In the end, he was able to easily escape from his veteran paladin, which made him feel very troublesome and worried!
If the opponent is allowed to wander in this western wilderness, the future will definitely be a great enemy of the Kingdom of Stormwind, just like her father Edwin VanCleef!
Even... even more terrifying...
Because, the new Defias Brotherhood, which was resurrected by the little girl's hands, has increasingly threatened the lives and property of the people in the Wild West! Especially the other party's slogan "Kill the nobles, divide the fields, pay less" that made Grean feel palpitation!
As a veteran who has been on the battlefield and has been exposed to many livelihood matters, Grian Stallman certainly knows the general power of this slogan and what it can cause if the Defias Brotherhood is allowed to develop like this. Serious harm!
Whenever I think of the horror effect that these words can bring and the things that have been discovered recently, there is now enough evidence to show that: more and more refugees and townspeople who went bankrupt due to the heavy taxes in the kingdom’s war, and a small number of the bottom The farmers and some small farmers are in frequent contact with the members of the New Defias Brotherhood.
In the past two days, as more and more information piled up on his desk, he almost always had trouble eating, sleeping well, and even in his sleep at night, he would occasionally be awakened by the wind and grass outside the window!
You know, Grian Stallman is in the Westfall, and he is also a man with a manor and a field, and there are many, many...
Therefore, without thinking about it, Grianan knew that he must be the exploiting class that needs to be eliminated and the object of the division of the fields in the slogan of the New Defias Brotherhood, and he can't be wrong.
In short, whether it is for the peace and stability of the Westfall, or the prosperity and harmony of the Stormwind Kingdom, or his Grian Stallman himself will not be inexplicably cut off his head and robbed himself in his sleep. Legacy, he must show the thugs of the new Defias Brotherhood a good look!
And Grian, who knew that personal power was too thin in front of the organized Defias Brotherhood and the thugs who had grown in number, decided resolutely: He Yuexi Town’s townspeople and merchants , Together with the big ranchers, form the People’s Army of the Western Wilderness to defend their homeland and property!
So, since I met Vanessa three days ago and lost his army and lost his generals, Grian Stallman finally decided to gather the industrialists and kulaks in the Western Wilderness and those who are unwilling to join forces with the Defias Brotherhood. The people, the Yuexi Town militia organization, which had only dozens of people, expanded again!
This time, he will directly arm them and train the Western People’s Army, which has about 2,000 adults, in order to defend and maintain the security of this important granary of the Stormwind Kingdom and it is becoming more and more obvious against the New Defias Brotherhood. Threat!
Of course, although Grian Stallman is a powerful old paladin, he is also a small nobleman in the Kingdom of Stormwind, but...the matter of forming an army at will, even if it is only local The militia organization of the United States certainly does not mean that it can be established.
Because, even if it is just a militia, it is also a serious and large-scale army, not a guard of certain merchants, nor is it a private thug.
If, without going through the report of the Kingdom of Stormwind, they will come at will, maybe, before they can be trained to fight against the Defias Brotherhood, the few regular troops left in Stormwind City will probably be killed. First treat him Grian Stallman as a rebel and kill him!
It is precisely because of this consideration that on the day when the People’s Army of the Westfall is about to be established, Grian Stallman specially invited the temporary mayor of Moonbrook Town and the executive officer of Westfall. The Stormwind Kingdom Council has only recently been transferred here to supervise the taxation of the veteran nobles.
Now, when the Stormwind Kingdom is using troops in the Outland and the Flame Alliance in the north, they are fighting on two lines, and they still attach great importance to the logistics work! That's why a noble congressman came to Yuexi Town to supervise the payment of grain taxes and work hard to appease the western wilderness.
After all, in the entire Stormwind Kingdom, apart from the few farms in the Elwynn Forest that produce food, only the Westfall has the most farms and mines!
It can be said that the west here is indeed an important area to maintain the finances of the Stormwind Kingdom! This is also the fundamental reason why the Stormwind Kingdom hopes to continue to maintain stability here, and before the Defias Brotherhood really makes a big mess, it is reluctant to make a big move to clean up here to prevent too much damage.
"Knight Grianan..."
"Look, now the warriors you have called up are already in place... and later, I may have some very important things, plus... I see that those girls are already waiting a little It’s not good to wait impatiently for the wreaths in their hands, so... can we get ready to start the ceremony?"
Duke Leskova took a few deep breaths and looked at the old paladin next to him who was wearing an off-white unmarked plate armor and carrying a standard warhammer of the Knights of the Silver Hand. After a few glances, he complained a little bit. Urged the old guy beside him.
Originally, he didn't want to manage the formation of militias, and he didn't bother to care about it. After all, he was only here to supervise food taxation, and other things that had no oil and water had nothing to do with him! Moreover, after the war in Outland or the North is over, he can go back to Stormwind City and continue to live his life as a drunken councillor, and no longer have to worry about these laborious things in the remote area of ​​the Westfall.
However, because before, someone specially reminded him: It was the upper part of Stormwind Kingdom, and I hope that Yuexi Town can be self-sufficient and stable here... And now, there happens to be such a veteran who is willing to pick up this thankless and thankless He hasn't done anything wrong yet, so of course he can't ask for it!
Anyway, he would definitely not donate money himself, nor would it be possible to donate food. In fact, he would not give anything except to say a few words at the scene!
Regardless of whether he contributed his own funds or let the merchants or farmers in Yuexi Town spread the balance, don't come to him anyway! He was only responsible for speaking two sentences today, declaring the legitimacy of the People's Army in the West and writing a report to the Kingdom Assembly, and the rest is nothing for him.
"Well……"
Grian Stallman didn’t immediately reply. He first thought about looking around in the barracks of the review field. At the review stand, besides himself, the Duke of Leskova, and dozens of elite guards, Only some representatives of farmers and merchants or their families watched and witnessed here.
In addition, in the town’s representative team, there are two Goldilocks with garlands in their hands. They are prepared to be dedicated to the Duke Leskova who will speak later. They are also part of the ceremony. Grian also knew the two of them. They were indeed the family members of an old nobleman and a large farmer he knew. They were definitely not members of the Defias Brotherhood.
Therefore, he felt that in today’s ceremony, there seemed to be no problems with the security work. He was there, and there were so many soldiers on the periphery and guards of Lord Duke. Those from the Defias Brotherhood should be mixed. Those who don't come in are even less likely to get into the venue for their oath.
"Well... Lord Duke, you are now ready to speak!"
Nodded, and found that there was nothing wrong in the surroundings, Greian reluctantly agreed to the proposal of the great nobleman from Stormwind to start the ceremony earlier.
Originally, Grian himself was reluctant to hold such a meaningless ceremony. According to his own wishes, he only needed to obtain the authorization documents from the kingdom.
However, in order to demonstrate the existence of himself and the Stormwind Kingdom, this Lord Duke also needs to let most businessmen, mine owners and farmers know the legal existence of their Western People’s Army, so as to facilitate future fundraising and food. Waiting for the matter, so he finally reluctantly agreed to this matter.
But somehow, Grean was still a little worried. He was afraid that the Neo Defias Brotherhood would send people to make trouble here. Therefore, he scanned all the possible suspicious elements in the venue several times. ...
"Hey! Knight Griman... the two beautiful ladies over there seem to be two sisters? Do you know them, don't know... Can you introduce me later?"
The Duke of Leskova had long noticed that the two women over there were wearing silk robes, holding garlands in their hands, with long blond hair and a soft and white complexion! They seem to be very young, only eighteen to twenty years old, and... They seem to look alike, should they be two sisters?
"..."
"My lord, those two are also from noble families, and at the same time are some of the big landlords in the Westfall...So, sorry, I really can't help you..."
Of course, Grian understood the meaning of this old stubborn nobleman, this duke, after coming to Yuexi Town, he was thinking about all the dirty things all day long! Either the other party is messing around with those parties, living those arrogant and prosperous lives, or he's just ignoring politics everywhere, and he's not the same veteran! Therefore, he directly rejected the request of the other party and did not want to involve too much with such people.
"Oh? You don't seem to want it? Forget it... I'll ask myself later!"
After speaking, Duke Leskova smiled triumphantly, and walked openly to the high-pitched speech platform in front of him.
"..."
At the same time, seeing that Lord Duke had already stood on the wooden high platform, the two blonde beauties with wreaths finally breathed a sigh of relief and smiled to welcome them for the first time.
They need to present the garland they have woven in advance to Lord Duke, and then Lord Duke will give a speech and announce the kingdom's decision! After the speech, the conscripted warriors shouted a few more slogans. Then, today's simple ceremony is probably about to end.
"This beautiful lady, I don't know... can I know the names of both of you?"
When one of the older mature beauties put a wreath on the neck of the Duke Leskova and took two steps back, the little beauty, two years younger, but with a more delicate and beautiful face, turned towards Lai. Skova came over, and he couldn't wait long ago, so he asked with a smile.
Although this kind of behavior is rude and inconsistent with etiquette, Leskova believes that with his duke title, he believes that no one dares to gossip! Moreover, dealing with women from such a small noble family, even on such occasions, should not have any major problems.
"Lord Duke... please bow your head, you are too high for me to reach..."
The blond little beauty seemed to be reluctant to tell the other person her name, and she seemed to be a little afraid of this squint old man, so her voice sounded a little timid.
If she could reach the other person, she might have put the wreath on and escaped!
However, the other party's height is much higher than her. When standing upright, she has no way to successfully put her wreath on the other party... And now, her sister's task has been completed, and all that is left is Being made difficult by the Lord Duke, she seemed to be wronged.
"If you don't tell me your name, then I will definitely not bow my head!"
Looking at each other with a smile, bullying and flirting with such an inexperienced little beauty, makes Leskova a sense of accomplishment! He has already thought about it now. After he knows the name of the other party, after a day or two, he will quickly hold a grand dinner party, and then give the other party an invitation. Of course, it must also include the one behind the other party. Mature beauty sister.
Then, as long as they are invited to his home, at that time, are they still allowed to do whatever they want?
Hum hum……
Thinking of something wonderful, Leskova couldn't help smiling and rubbing his specially trimmed chin and beard.
"Ahem! Your Excellency, it's getting late..."
Standing behind the high platform, Grian Stallman, the incoming commander of the People’s Army of the West, saw that the shameless old guy above even flirted with the little blond the high platform, despite the ritual procedures, and it seemed that After almost scaring the other person to cry, he couldn't help but coughed twice and reminded a certain duke in a low voice.
"..."
"How about it, my lady... As long as you tell me your names, I will bow my head, and I will never embarrass you! This little request, shouldn't it be too much?"
Turning his head slightly, glanced at the old paladin behind him from the corner of his eye, Leskova continued to question the little girl gently.
Whether it is a Paladin or the People's Army of the West, it is not what Duke Leskova wants to care about! Now he just wants to find out the name of this little girl and her sister. As for whether other people have any opinions, what's up with him?
He Leskova is the Duke of Stormwind, and he is also a member of Parliament and Archon of the Westfall. What is he going to do, and where does he need to look at the faces of these untouchables? The powerful and powerful he is so self-willed now, what can they do with him? !
"My Lord Duke, please don't be like this... Everyone... Everyone is watching us..."
The little girl holding the Merley wreath became advancing or retreating, she could only bit her lip with her white teeth in a grievance, tears glowing in her eyes, she didn't know what to do for a while. .
"It's okay, we just let them watch our whispers, don't worry, they won't and dare not have any opinions?"
"Well, beautiful lady, I don’t want to embarrass you. I just want to know your fame... Then, your mission can be completed! And I can continue my speech... Look, everyone It seems to be a little impatient to wait, and you don't want to be blamed by so many people, right?"
The Duke Leskova, who swears to give up without reaching his goal, still uses a soft tone to force the other party without delay, he has a way to deal with this kind of girl!
It is feasible to use one's own identity and power to do reasonable persecution, and he believes that the other party will definitely succumb.
"Then... well, okay..."
"My lord... you, lower your head first... When I put a wreath on you, I will tell you secretly in your ear..."
Finally, when the tears in his eyes were about to fall, in the worried gaze of her sister behind her, this little girl, who was about eighteen years old, finally compromised under the pressure of Duke Leskova.
She had to nod her head shyly and reluctantly agreed to the other party's rude request.
"Of course! My lady, you can't fool me!"
Seeing that his goal was successfully achieved, Leskova quickly squinted his eyes with a smile, and lowered his head towards the other party.
Then... he really felt that the other person's white and slender arms were supporting the beautiful wreath and gently placing it on his neck. At the same time, the other party's cheeks exuding bursts of charming fragrance, as expected, carefully took this opportunity to get to his ear, and whispered in a gentle voice like between lovers:
"The one behind me... she is my sister... her name is Lana..."
The little girl’s voice sounded soft, and hearing Leskova’s ears made him feel like his heart was going to melt. If it weren’t for the fact that it’s not easy to do some rude things in full view, I'm afraid he has to reach out and hug each other directly, and play hard!
Of course, he believes that this thing can definitely be achieved, and he won't let him wait too long.
Wait for the day after tomorrow...
No, just wait until tomorrow! Tomorrow night, he will hold a grand party, invite the two sisters, and then find some companions, then his goal will be achieved, he believes it will be possible!
"And my own name..."
"It's actually called... Vanessa... Van Cleef..."
When the word for husband slipped into the ears of Duke Leskova, in an instant, before he could react, he only felt a pain in his neck, and then the whole world began to spin...
"!!!"
"??"
At this time, whether it is Grian Stallman, the guards and bodyguards of the Duke Leskova around, or the people watching the ceremony and the neatly lined up warriors in front of the venue, they are all I was only horrified to see: The little girl who had to succumb to the duke’s lustful prestige and planned to tell her name did not know where to get out a dark dagger, and then directly put the head on her In front of him, the head of Duke Leskova who was going to listen to some whispers was cut off instantly!
"There are...there are assassins!!!"
"Killed! Run away!!!"
Finally, I don't know who first screamed out in a panic, and then the panic exploded from the ranks of the ordinary people onlookers. They all screamed and started turning their heads and running!
"Hahaha..."
After that, the headless corpse with two beautiful colored wreaths barely stood and shook it twice. It was sprayed with bright red blood and twitched directly on the high ground wooden podium...
And the little girl who had done it, caught the head of Duke Leskova that hadn't landed yet, and with a trace of astonishment and puzzled expression, she stood on the high platform and laughed brazenly.
"Quickly...give me...catch them!!!"
Although I don't know why the two little girls suddenly killed the Duke of Leskova, and the methods were so cruel and clean that everyone was caught off guard! However, Grian knows that if you catch the opponent first, you can't go wrong, otherwise, his own trouble may be great!
A noble Duke of the Kingdom of Stormwind was successfully stabbed under his nose and his head was lost. This matter, I am afraid, will be a stain on his life! If he can't catch the assassin, don't think about it!
"Come on! Surround them and catch them alive!"
"The others stayed and watched around to prevent them from having any comrades who came to respond! Those running around over there blocked them. Today, no one is allowed to leave without permission!!!"
Under his anger, Grian was like a lion that was thoroughly angered, and he burst out with the powerful golden light of his whole body, and grabbed his own warhammer, with a ferocious and hideous expression. My own men and the guards of the angry duke who reacted directly encircled the Tuan Tuan Tuan Tuan Tuan Tuan Tuan Tuan Tuan Tuan Tuan Tuan Tuan Tuan Tuan Tuan Tuan Tuan Tuan.
"Say...you...why do you do this!?"
With a tone of grief and trembling and incomprehension, Grian's eyes widened, and he raised his head and shouted to question the two little girls on the stage who had assassinated the Duke.
What he didn't understand was: The other party is obviously the family members of two noble families in the Stormwind Kingdom. Whether in the Stormwind Kingdom or in the Westfall, they are all decent figures. Why did they do such outrageous things? !
"Hahaha!!!"
"Stray dogs of Stormwind, and you Grian Stallman! Take a good look now, who am I!?"
A word that seemed to make Grian Stallman feel a little familiar, shouted from the hideous little girl who was holding the duke's dead head, and he couldn't help being taken aback.
Then, after that little girl laughed triumphantly, the other party's body began to twist and change?
Soon, the other party was in full view, from the original blond girl, twisted into a little girl with short black hair and black pupils, and only about fifteen or six years old. Moreover, her face... has also become more cold, harsh and hideous... Of course, she must have the sense of pride after a successful strategy.
"You are... Vanessa VanCleef..."
Finally, Grian Stallman, who remembered something, sighed in his heart. If this is the case, then everything makes sense.
Before losing him, I was worried that the new Defias Brotherhood would come to make trouble. For this reason, the security and patrol and the number of guards on guard have been specially strengthened!
However, what he never expected was that the opponent did not sneak in in a sneaky posture, nor did he trigger the precious magic items that he had prepared to detect the invisibility of thieves. Instead, they changed blatantly. Became someone else, just stood in front of the Duke Leskova so generously, and easily cut off the head of the door? !
"Sister Vanessa! The effect of my compound decoction is about to expire. Let's go quickly. I'm afraid I might not endure the pain and make mistakes later!"
Unlike Vanessa, who has received triple training from thieves, rangers, and shadow priests since childhood, she can endure the bone-cutting pain when the compound soup recovers, she can't guarantee that Lana will endure the pain and cast spells!
After all, she does not have a strong body, only a delicate body that belongs to the mage.
Moreover, she is a conjurer, studying the book of Hogwarts magic spells that Her Majesty Queen Anne left her at the beginning. If the compound soup fails later, she can’t concentrate on shouting the spells. It's really going to happen!
So after speaking, she ignored the agreement or disapproval of the other party, and grabbed the wrist of Vanessa's other hand that was not holding her head with one hand.
"Huh! You still want to run? Give it to me, you must catch them for me, life and death!!!"
After finally understanding why the other party would assassinate Duke Leskova, Grian now doesn't need to catch alive to interrogate him! After all, the other party is the remnant of the VanCleef family, who originally had extreme hatred for the Kingdom of Stormwind, and would do things like assassinating nobles, wouldn't it be normal?
"Huh! Grian, I will come back! At that time, the heads of you Stormwind running dogs will be cut off!"
After Lana grabbed her wrist tightly, Vanessa did not resist, she just seized the time and shouted this to the enemies who rushed to the high platform, and then the next moment:
"Apparition!!!"
Grian Stallman, who rushed up with the soldiers, only heard another unrevealed assassin brandishing a short wooden stick, and shouted something inexplicably, and then... ... Before they could react, the two hateful female assassins on the high platform snapped and disappeared from the high platform completely.
...
"This...what the is going on...how is this possible?!"
Grian Stallman, who rushed to the middle of the speech platform, looked helplessly around the barracks, carrying the golden light of the holy light, and found out with grief that here, except for the Duke of Leskova Still outside the headless corpse with a pool of blood, there are no traces of any enemies in the surrounding area!
The method that the other party just used is definitely not the stealth of thieves and assassins, but seems to be... the space transmission method of mages?
However, if it flashes at a distance of ~EbookFREE.me~ it can only flash at a distance of thirty to fifty meters! And long-distance space gates or teleportation, don't they need to guide spells? !
"Your Excellency Grian...what should we do now?!"
Seeing that the enemy had disappeared, a seemingly helpless Duke's guard commander could only ask the old Paladin for help in fear.
Now, the assassins chopped off the Duke’s head and left calmly under the heavy protection of their guards, so it is not difficult for them to guess that if they return to Stormwind, even if they do not die, they will definitely be thrown into jail for misery. Spend the rest of my life!
"..."
"The whole town is under martial law, hunt for assassins! Then... report to Stormwind City..."
Duke Leskova was assassinated under his own nose, and then the assassin was Van Cleef's remnant Vanessa...what else could he do now? Except for routine martial law and searching the members of the Defias Brotherhood, he has no good way!
Grian is now more concerned about: After the great nobleman of Leskova and the tax and political consul of the Westfall died here, will the formation of the People's Army of the Westfall cause any problems? !
