Chapter 1946: Entering the Story

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

Defias thugs swarmed the area; anyone would look to retreat .

Edwin VanCleef was the leader of the Defias Thugs . He was once a member of the Stonemasons in Stormwind City . The Defias group slowly grew in power and influence due to the Stormwind administration’s failure to pay the workers salaries, which incited a rebellion among the citizens .

Then, VanCleef was killed, so these thugs disbanded into the different corners of the world .

The Defias Brotherhood played a major role in the disappearance of Varian Wrynn . Under the control of the Black Dragon Princess, Varian was ambushed and kidnapped shortly after leaving Stormwind City .

The Brotherhood took Varian to Menethil, then rode a boat to Dustwallow Marsh and secretly kept Varian on Alcaz Island . The Defias Brotherhood had a hand in each part of the kidnapping . Stormwind City, Menethil, Theramore .

On the island of Alcaz, Defias’ Warlocks used a forbidden spell to split Varian’s spirit and body in two . One half was elegant, gentle and kind, while the other half was ferocious, fierce, and strong .

Onyxia sent out her soldiers to Alcaz and wiped out all of the Warlocks on the island . She planned to kill the more powerful half of the king, then use the other half as a puppet king while she ruled from the shadows .

Then, the more powerful half jumped into the deep sea and disappeared .

Onyxia had already been executed (actually, it was only her projection, so she was bound to appear again), but her plans were still in motion . Besides Onyxia, there were also other people who didn’t want Varian to return to Stormwind City .

The Defias Brotherhood was just a weapon for these people .

Besides wanting their salaries, they also had a desire for government reformation .

They were a bunch of pitiful people . However, Lu Li didn’t have the right to pity them . After all, if he had gone easy, even in the slightest, even Varian and the others would need to admit defeat .

Everyone needed to fight with all they had .

Lu Li and Water Fairy quickly moved towards Varian .

“We’re on the same side . We are here to help,” Lu Li said parried away a Blood Elf thief’s dagger . Valeera Sanguinar suddenly appeared behind Lu Li .

Of course, according to the story of the game, these people weren’t as strong as they were yet .

Valeera Sanguinar was an elite Thief . At her peak, she was able to instantly kill Lu Li with one hit .

Valeera was on high alert .

“You guys don’t have anything to suspect us . If we were really your enemies, we would be helping these Defias thugs to kill all of you,” Lu Li reasoned .

With his wife next to him, emotional reasoning was not a possibility .

Varian quickly figured out the problem .

“It’s already been so long and you don’t know who caused all this trouble for you?” Lu Li thought to himself .

As he battled, he explained the situation with the Defias Brotherhood . These were actually a group of people who were greatly disadvantaged by the aristocracy . However, the rage of these pitiful people slowly manifested into the Defias Thugs, who also hurt people like them .

“Do you have any ideas on how to defeat these people?” Varian asked .

“No, I don’t . We can only raise our weapons and fight!”

Lu Li actually knew more, but he could not say .

If he mentioned Jaina and revealed the whole truth, the reward would probably be a lot less than what it could be .

They proceeded to fight valiantly against the enemy . They hacked and slashed, while they were also attacked back . This was an impressive and moving sight . They had no business to be here, yet they still unhesitatingly decided to help upon seeing these three people in trouble .

Valeera Sanguinar and Broll Bearmantle quickly treated them as comrades and would support them every now and then .

Varian, with his strong and determined side as the King of Stormwind City, had utmost confidence in Lu Li and Water Fairy . He didn’t lend a hand even when Lu Li and Water Fairy were in danger .

Since there wasn’t a Boss, Lu Li and Water Fairy wouldn’t die as they had the help of many elixirs and potions .

It was because of these potions and elixirs that they were able to survive .

As for the other three NPCs, they were already tired and worn down with injuries . The battle had also worn down their mental fortitude .

Then, without him and Water Fairy, how could these three people defeat the powerful enemies? Even as a reborn player, Lu Li didn’t know anything about the details of this .

At the nest of the Defias Thugs not far from where they were, there were squadrons of hidden Paladins . These were the Paladins from the Night Watchmen . There were already more than 800 of them, and they were all level 70 with Epic items .

Ruling Sword had invested most of their items into the Night Watchmen .

In wild PVP battles, there weren’t many people who could defend against them .

Their mission was simple . Once they received the instruction, they would immediately charge towards the Defias Thugs’ base and burn everything, including their crops, food and their families . This would force the Defias Thugs to retreat .

If Lu Li ordered the knights to charge earlier, the battle would have been over much sooner .

However, there was a reason as to why he delayed the charge . Firstly, it would hide their identities and where they had come from . Secondly, he wanted to make the support from him and Water Fairy seem precious .

Lu Li was waiting for the catalyst that would turn the tides of this battle .

As he waited and could wait no longer, a group of Dwarves suddenly entered the battlefield . Although they were short, they were intimidating and powerful with their hammers raised .

There was a larger Dwarf as their leader, wielding a giant hammer .

There were eight blades on the hammer . He swung it mightily and instantly turned the Defias Thugs into mincemeat . His face was hidden underneath a helmet with a horn .

The Dwarves that were following him were yelling this name . It was as if this brought them power and raised their morale .

“Thargas Anvilmar! Descendant of the King of the Mountains!” Lu Li sighed . He finally understood

why Varian was able to safely enter Ironforge .

The King of the Mountains was Modimus Anvilmar . This was a legendary name in Dwarven history .

There were no clans that did not know this name .

His death had led to the breaking of the Bronzebeard, Wildhammer and Dark Iron Dwarves . This also led to the famous War of the Three Hammers .

Thargas Anvilmar was Modimus’ descendant . If the Dwarves followed along the monarchy that Humans had used, then he would be the King of the Dwarves .

The Defias Thugs were quickly defeated . They appeared like a flood, but also receded just as quickly .
