Chapter 402: Cat and mouse

"Those who are loading cars in the distance below are those merchants of unknown origin that you are looking at?"&1t;/
The leader of MI7 of Stormwind Kingdom, Matthias Shaw, was at this time in this Alexton ranch in the northwest of Moonbrook Town with several high-level subordinates directly under his jurisdiction. In a hidden room on the second floor of the farmer’s house by the window, quietly monitoring the strange businessmen who came to the farm to buy food, fruits and vegetables near the outside granary. &1t;/
Since more than ten days ago, they spent 500 gold coins at the goblin's venture capital company to obtain the approximate time and place when the other party's weapons and equipment arrived in the Westfall, and they hurried up the river in those goblin steam boats, and Finally arrived here in the West Wild two days ago, planning to make some preliminary preparations for intercepting the opponent's ships. &1t;/
Whenever I think of the steamboat they hired from the Stranglethorn Vale Insurance Investment Company branch, which is said to be a very advanced steamboat, and the automated, mechanized ship that is said to be able to go upstream without paddling, Madias can't help but want to cut The impulse of those goblins! &1t;/
During the few days he was on the road, he finally experienced firsthand what is called: goblin products, shocking! &1t;/
In the beginning, those coal-burning steamships were really fast and good, although the smoke was a bit heavy and the smell of coal was a bit big, but that was tolerable! &1t;/
However...&1t;/
During the other half of their journey, their ship had a problem, and the magical mechanical paddle wheel never turned. As a result, they had to turn from an employer to a crew member, and rowed desperately with the only goblin. With the oars, he barely reached the bank of the West Wilderness, and at least he didn't lose time. &1t;/
"Yes, we have been monitoring them for a long time!"&1t;/
In fact, the group of businessmen below is already purchasing food for the second time this month! Because the amount of food purchased by the other party was too large, the personnel from MI7 reluctantly sent someone to investigate. &1t;/
Originally, they thought that the other party was just the same grain merchants as in previous years, and they didn't care too much. &1t;/
However, they discovered a new additional situation during their investigation: those merchants who are said to be from Stormwind, and those who are buying food on a large scale and paying a lot of money, after confirmation by the farmers, the other party has not come in recent years. The fixed merchants buying grain here in Westfall are newcomers instead? &1t;/
What’s more intriguing is that the accents of these strange faces don’t sound like those from Stormwind, but rather like the accent of Lordaeron from the north...&1t;/
This situation is very intriguing: a group of people who are rich and don't care about the price, and still have a Lordaeron accent, they come to the western wilderness of Stormwind to buy a lot of food, what do they want to do? ! &1t;/
Therefore, according to the time point of the opponent’s appearance and the composition of the opponent’s entourage, Matthias’s men came to an astonishing final conclusion after close observation and multi-party intelligence summary judgment: the opponent should come from the north. Westfall, and are helping to organize the enemy spies of the Flame Alliance who are trying to organize the Defias Brotherhood! &1t;/
The purpose of the other party to help organize the Defias Brotherhood is already obvious, and that is to mess up the big granary of the western wilderness of the Stormwind Kingdom and create difficulties for the supply of the Stormwind Kingdom and even the Stormwind Alliance army! &1t;/
And now, the reason why the other party is buying food on a large scale, after the judgment of the MI7 agents, they feel that it must be inseparable from the upcoming batch of weapons and equipment! &1t;/
Because, the time for the Defias Brotherhood's uprising is about to come...&1t;/
Now that the other party is buying food on a large scale, it is nothing more than preparing logistic materials for the Defias Brotherhood's army in the name of a trader. You can't be wrong! &1t;/
"Can you really be sure, do they have a problem?"&1t;/
Slightly lifted a small corner of the curtain in the room, through the poor-quality window glass, Madias Shor could easily see the two principals who bought food in the distance: one of them was a twenty-year-old. Young woman, looks very temperamental, also behaves very decently, seems to be of extraordinary origin? And another tall young man who is a bit frizzy, he looks like he is about seventeen or eighteen years old, with a sword hilt decorated with a somewhat gorgeous broadsword around his waist, but I don’t know if the opponent is a knight or a warrior? However, judging from the opponent's strong body and pace of action, it must be at least a high-level professional! &1t;/
However, after watching for a long time, Mathias Shore did not see what the intelligence said from those other entourages. He forcibly assassinated Gregorleskova at the People’s Army camp in the western wilderness of Yuexi Town the other day. Then the black-headed thief who the Duke left calmly: the figure of Vanessa VanCleef. &1t;/
Of course, it is also possible that the other party used the magical deformation method that can evade detection? &1t;/
But no matter what, in the opinion of Mathias himself, the other party chose to run to the Western Wilderness of Stormwind Kingdom at this time to engage in trouble activities, nothing more than doing some final dying struggles. This just explained the weakness of the opponent's flame alliance and the smooth progress of their Stormwind Kingdom's Northern Expedition! &1t;/
As far as Mathias himself knows, the powerful support of those draenei is coming soon, and the flame alliances in the north can only hold on to the lines of defense for so long with the Paladins of the Silver Hand. They certainly can’t hold on much. The days are over, their demise is just around the corner! &1t;/
At that time, the entire Eastern Kingdom will be the world of their Stormwind Alliance! Whether it is the evil Flame Alliance or the ignorant tribe, don't even think about gaining a foothold on this Eastern Kingdom Big 6! &1t;/
"Yes, lead, we are pretty sure!"&1t;/
"After investigation, we found that no one had ever seen the two before the Defias Brotherhood became active again! Moreover, we also specially investigated Stormwind City and the surrounding large business groups, and we have been able to confirm that they are indeed A noble child who does not belong to any business group or wealthy family!"&1t;/
This kind of large-scale food transaction that can buy enough food for thousands of people for months at a time, the chamber of commerce without any strong strength would not dare to reach out! In the Kingdom of Stormwind, there are really few merchant groups with this kind of strength...After all, the reconstruction of Stormwind City has not been for many years, and there are only a few rich people. Therefore, it is too easy to investigate. Up. &1t;/
"Our members who have been stationed in the Westfall are still present. The entourage under them has several unemployed people who were originally wandering around Moonbrook Town. However, when the Defias Brotherhood became active again, they Missing! Therefore, we are now 90% sure that they are indeed members of the Defias Brotherhood!"&1t;/
All kinds of intelligence have shown that the guys who are purchasing food below are the hostile targets that MI7 must deal with! &1t;/
"You have done a good job this time, I am very satisfied!"&1t;/
"By the way, did you find out where they are going to the food to later? Humph! With so many carts of food, they probably won't easily head north or south, right?"&1t;/
For such a huge transport team, although it was the second purchase that was found to be wrong by MI7, Matthias also had enough reasons to believe that the other party would definitely be transported to the Lair of the Defias Brotherhood. ! &1t;/
And this is their opportunity for MI7! &1t;/
Now they not only know the place where the other party’s shipping weapons and equipment are ready to be delivered, but also the specific location of the other party’s lair. This will have a great effect on whether their MI7 can successfully crush the opponent’s conspiracy! Next, they just have to wait patiently, and when they know everything, it is time for their MI7 and the People's Army of the Westfall to start eradicating each other. &1t;/
I hope that the Western People’s Army formed by the old knight Grian Stallman will not disappoint the Kingdom of Stormwind...&1t;/
"Yes, collar! The disguised brothers below have already asked. The other person said that they have to go west first, pass through the Dimont Wilderness to the temporary pier on the beach to load the food, and then turn back by sea. Stormwind City?"&1t;/
Having said that, the intelligence officer of MI7 couldn't help but sneered. &1t;/
Since their Northern Expedition of the Kingdom of Stormwind and mobilized almost all of the sea power to participate in the war in the north, the route from the north of the Westfall lighthouse to the port of Stormwind has long been cut off by those crazy pirates! Their ships in Stormwind didn’t even dare to take the ships along the Western Wilderness at all, and where did these guys get the ships to play shipping? ! &1t;/
"Interesting! Okay, you guys will be organized right now! When they the food back, we will quietly follow... I think they will definitely not return to Stormwind or other places!"&1t;/
"At that time, we will pretend to be robbers and grab their food directly! But you must remember that we must let go of a few livelihoods. We need to know where they will return? That's it for now. Go out..."&1t;/
After continuing to observe outside for a while, when Matias could not see more information from the opponents, he waved his hands tiredly at his hands. &1t;/
During this period of time, he traveled a long distance from Stormwind City to Stranglethorn Vale, and returned to the Westfall from Stranglethorn Vale, rushing for time, and he was indeed exhausted. But all of this is worth it. They have seized the lives of the new Defias Brotherhood and are waiting for a fatal blow! &1t;/
In fact, in Mathias's opinion, it should be easy to defeat the Defias Brotherhood of the new cat. After all, the opponent was formed in a hurry, so it must not be a climate! However, the only thing that worries him is: at that time, can he sack and kill that Vanessa VanCleef? &1t;/
Once the rebel who is said to be only a teenager successfully escapes again, it will be an endless trouble...&1t;/
"Yes! Subordinates obey!" &1t;/
When the masked thieves turned around and were about to leave one by one, Matthias called out one of the dwarves. &1t;/
Somehow, he suddenly remembered something. In order to succeed in the action later, he must reconfirm it again. There can be no sloppyness! &1t;/
"McReilly, take a closer look at that, the woman who is still wearing a robe... She wore... it seems to be a wizard robe?!"&1t;/
Just now, Madias, who was about to rest and wait, suddenly realized that something was wrong with this. Then, he quietly opened a corner of the curtain, and again and the dwarf men began to look at the commanding entourage and the farmer in the distance. Young woman. &1t;/
The style of the robe on the opponent, and some strange things, seem to be very similar to the magic equipment that the wizards like to wear? &1t;/
"Uh...should it be?"&1t;/
"Head! What do you mean... Do you think she might be a mage? But, I didn't see her wand in her hand..."&1t;/
The dwarf agent is also a bit unsure. After all, he is just a thief who specializes in assassination and concealment. He doesn’t know much about the mages. It’s still a bit to judge whether a person uses spells or not. difficult. &1t;/
Besides, there is no obvious mana fluctuation on that robe, and even if there is, it may be just an ordinary magic item! &1t;/
In the Kingdom of Stormwind, those wealthy nobles or big merchants always like to buy themselves one or two expensive magic robes, because that can show their noble status, but also have good protection capabilities to make them safer ? Thinking about it this way, it is normal for the woman in the far distance to wear a magic robe, and there is no need to make much fuss. &1t;/
"You are the saying stick..."&1t;/
"The staff...it's wrong! Things are in trouble now!"&1t;/
"McClary, hurry up! You have a lot of time before they finish loading the car, and immediately ride the Griffon south back to Yuexi Town. Let the high-level wizard from Stormwind come with the group to investigate the cause of the Duke’s death. Come to help! If he refuses to come, just say: We may have found the female wizard who killed the Duke!"&1t;/
Hearing the dwarf's McReilly talking about the staff, Matthias suddenly remembered the confession written by several witnesses: On the day the Duke was killed, the strange teleportation spell was taken away. The bandit Vanessa VanCleef and the mage of the Duke’s head, the other side used a staff like a short wooden stick! &1t;/
And at that time the staff... seemed to be taken out of the sleeve by the other party? At that time, the woman just waved her hand, and the heads of Vanessa and the Duke disappeared in an instant...&1t;/
Thinking of this, Matthias couldn't help but glance at the sleeve of the young woman underneath. The other party was indeed wearing a long-sleeved robe. In that case, hiding a stick or two in the sleeve, it was simply It couldn't be easier! &1t;/
"What do you mean...Yes! Subordinates understand now!"&1t;/
McReilly, the Bronzebeard dwarf in Ironforge, was stunned for a while, and immediately realized what his boss meant, and then nodded quickly, turned around and took a funny short step, and ran out of the door. Get out. &1t;/
&1t;/
"Sister, you have to be careful, I see, we seem to have been targeted..."&1t;/
While loudly urging the farmers and his subordinates to speed up the time to load the goods, the future general of the Westfall, Pete, walked to his sister Lana's side by pressing the hilt of his waist, and then attached it. He whispered quietly in the ear of the other party. &1t;/
After observing for a period of time, Pete spotted some people who were not right around him, so he walked to his sister's side for the first time, reminding them, and hoping to protect her. &1t;/
"Oh? My good brother... Then when did you show up?"&1t;/
Lana was noncommittal about Pete's words. In fact, she had already seen faint people around her observing them, and there were probably a lot of guys who were suspected observers! In fact, at the beginning, she even thought that the other party did it just because of her beauty, so she didn't care about it at first. &1t;/
Because when she was in the city of flames, she had long been accustomed to others' attention. &1t;/
However, after several confirmations just now, she finally found something wrong! Because, those guys, when they look at her, they don't have that kind of surprise or admiration. On the contrary, they are cold, ruthless, even as if they are looking at a dead person, without the cold expression of the slightest emotion in it! &1t;/
So, after confirming, Lana felt that the shopping thing this time seemed to become more and more interesting...&1t;/
"Aha! It's been a while!"&1t;/
Pete didn't rush to say anything, but stood next to his sister, and looked at the carriages that were loading and unloading goods in the distance, and then pointed with his finger. &1t;/
His height is two heads higher than Lana. Lana, who is originally very slender, can barely reach the position where his shoulders are a little lower. If someone who doesn’t know looks over, he will see these two people. The kind of intimate action, it is possible to think that the two are a pair of lovers! &1t;/
"Sister, you also know that we grew up on the farm since we were young! If it weren't for some terrible things happened later, so that we would never touch those farming jobs again, we guess we are still two ordinary farmers... …Although our current circumstances have changed, there are some things that will never be forgotten!"&1t;/
"You may have noticed just now. Behind us, among the tenant farmers who thresh the grain, there are two or three guys who have been holding a handful of grain and pretending there. They are obviously not a qualified farmer!"&1t;/
Pete didn't turn around and look at it, but as if to say something irrelevant, he lowered his head and said softly to his sister. The other party's carelessness when doing farm work seems very unprofessional, and it is inevitable that he will find flaws! &1t;/
"Oh? How do you know they are spies? Maybe... They are actually lazy?"&1t;/
Lana was still a bit noncommittal, she just laughed and teased her brother. &1t;/
She has realized more people on her own, but she didn't rush to rush and startle the snake, but just as if the other party did not exist! But if the other party dared to do something, there are so many of them here, it might not be afraid of them! &1t;/
It's a big deal. When the time comes, she shoots and breaks, and she sets fire here, and then runs away. What can the enemies do with her? Because of the example of a little girl, Lana’s most proficient spell is "flaming flames"! The fire is fast and fierce. Although the power is not very powerful, it is easy to burn this farm and the granary here. &1t;/
"No! They are definitely not lazy!"&1t;/
"First, I noticed: Although they changed their clothes, their skin color and head didn't look like those hard-working farmers at all, and the farmer holding the whip was right next to them... they just held a I squatted the grain there for almost an hour, but the shrewd farmer didn’t have a whip to smash it. Don’t you think it’s weird?"&1t;/
Earlier, before the food was loaded into the truck, Pete and Lana had bargained with the farmer for a while. He felt that like that stingy and shrewd guy, it is absolutely impossible to tolerate the farmer on his eyes. Be lazy! So, this matter is obvious. &1t;/
Anyway, those people, who are they, why would they let the farmer cooperate with each other to come in and lurking close and observe these people, and why would the farmer have a slight sense of jealousy towards them? Putting these factors together, the other person’s The specific identity is not difficult to guess. &1t;/
"You know it!"&1t;/
"Actually, they don't have a lot of people! As far as I found out, there are at least 20 or 30 people, and there are many hidden guys! Don't look back, don't be surprised... What do you do? I don’t know, and don’t leave me easily! I have an obstacle curse cast on my body now. If they violently assassinate later, they will not only warn you, but at least help you withstand a few more times?"&1t;/
After Jiao drank and asked those who still didn’t know to seize the time to load the car, Lana stretched out her hand and patted her brother’s hand holding the hilt of the sword, and signaled the other party not to worry, just relax, because, at this time, do anxious It's useless! &1t;/
Just as those from MI7 guessed, today, their two brothers and sisters came here to buy food, indeed in preparation for the upcoming uprising in the Wild West! &1t;/
After all, growing up in the Flame Palace since childhood, Lana, who is often in contact with government affairs and is no stranger to the military, is very clear about the fact that soldiers and horses have not moved, food and grass first! This time, it was actually the second batch of grain, so Lana didn't mind whether they could be successfully escorted back. &1t;/
Even if she is really shopping here with the other party later, she won't dare! If you can win, it's the best, but if you can't win, she will take her brother to apparate and run away, leaving those dozens of insignificant subordinates. If you die, then die! &1t;/
Anyway, in Lana's eyes, the safety of her brother Pete is the most important! &1t;/
Since those thugs have chosen to join the new Defias Brotherhood to have a good future, they must always be prepared to work hard! In this world of Azeroth, where are those safe and promising jobs? If you want to be rewarded, you must pay first! &1t;/
You know ~EbookFREE.me~ Even Lana herself, she has been assassinated by hostile militants or spy assassins in the past few years! Even the maidservant of the Queen of the Flame Kingdom has survived many times. What can the mobs who joined the Defias Brotherhood have to complain about? &1t;/
"Okay sister, I see! Do you need me to remind those guys?"&1t;/
Nodded, Pete thought for a while, and then lowered his head again to consult his sister Lana. The guys in his mouth were obviously the prospective soldiers of the Defias Brotherhood who were disguised as entourages and caravan guards. &1t;/
"No! It would be a bad thing to let their idiots know!"&1t;/
"..."&1t;/
