Warcraft Fortress

Chapter 113 Van Cleef, are you willing to accept it?

Van Cleef had never been a fool.

It's just that hatred blinds the mind, and the authorities are obsessed, so he can't see many things clearly.

He didn't know about Onyxia's conspiracy because he didn't even know that the countess who was very popular in Stormwind City was actually transformed into Onyxia.

He didn't know that Onyxia was behind the incident of arrears of salary and the incident of kidnapping King Varian later.

It wasn't until Rick came to the door that day and told him all of this that he understood what was going on.Then he started the investigation, because he only believed in the information he obtained from his investigation, and he only believed in his own judgment.In his opinion, what Rick or Sean said may not be credible.

He investigated a lot of useful information.But it wasn't until Onyxia was attacked by Sean and the others in the Stormwind Palace and revealed her original form that the world was in an uproar, and Van Cleef also figured out a lot of things because of this.

So when Sean said those few words, Van Cleef didn't feel disbelief or shock as he imagined, but fell silent.

After a while, he waved his hand to let the Defias pirates around the deck disperse, then turned and walked into the command room.

Vanessa followed immediately.

Sean smiled, and followed in with Old Grian, Mathias, and Rick.

A person who is full of thoughts of revenge will certainly not tidy up his residence carefully.It is impossible for a battleship built to bombard Stormwind City to have luxurious daily necessities.

The command room is very simple, almost crude.

Sean and the others are not here to be guests.

There were stools and chairs in the command room, and a desk specially prepared for discussions, but neither Van Cleef, Sean, nor anyone else sat down.

On the wall of the command room, hung the only decoration, which was a group of oil paintings.

It can be seen that the author of this painting has a high level of painting and perfectly presents the content he wants to express, so that people can understand the author's anger at a glance.

The first painting is a collapsing city, with wars everywhere, groups of suffering soldiers gathered together, down-and-out nobles sighing, and two men in their 20s standing together.

One is King Varian and the other is Van Cleef.

This is a reconstruction of the scene between Stormwind.

In the second painting, a new city is rebuilt amidst the ruins.It is beautiful, majestic and one of the best buildings in the world.Van Cleef stood in the Valley of Heroes, and a group of stonemasons stood behind him, all with proud and satisfied smiles on their faces.

This is the scene after the reconstruction of Stormwind City.

In the third painting, a group of angry craftsmen gathered outside the palace of Stormwind, a beautiful woman was persuading loudly, and a brick fell from the sky.

This is the scene where Van Cleef took the members of the masonry union to the palace to ask for salary, and Queen Tiffin came forward to persuade him.

In the fourth painting, a member of the stonemason union was executed. Van Cleef led a large number of stonemasons roaring and angrily, leaving Stormwind City with tears in their eyes. Their faces were full of anger.

This is the scene where VanCleef leaves Stormwind.

In the fifth painting, a group of craftsmen are building an iron-clad giant ship, and a large number of Defias bandits are patrolling around.

This is what's happening out there right now.

In the sixth painting, the Dreadnought breaks through the huge waves and bombards Stormwind City.VanCleef stood on the top deck laughing loudly, but his face was full of tears.

This is what Van Cleef expects to happen in the future.

Van Cleef said: "These paintings were drawn by me on the first day after the Defias Brotherhood was established and the death mines were captured. Over the years, I have looked at these pictures every day, recalling the humiliation and suffering I have suffered, Fantasizing about bombarding Stormwind City one day is my only joy. Mathias, Grian, Rick, Sean, you will not understand our pain."

Sean shook his head and said, "Van Cleef, bombing Stormwind City...will you really be happy?"

Van Cleef said: "Isn't it? That's revenge, the only thing I want to do in the rest of my life! Isn't it the happiest thing for me to accomplish this thing?"

Sean shook his head and said, "No, your happiest moment was when you rebuilt Stormwind City. You spent the first half of your life building Stormwind City, and you will spend the rest of your life destroying it... Van Cleef, Tell me, how can you be happy! How can you be happy when you destroy the most proud work of your life with your own hands! Van Cleef, do you... really have the heart to do this?"

Van Cleef clenched his fists: "Revenge must be avenged."

"However, it is not revenge by bombarding Stormwind City." Sean said: "I don't like to beat around the bush, so I will tell you His Majesty's will now. Don't be hostile to Stormwind City, because your enemy is Onyxia. Don't hate those nobles back then, because now Mathias' people are interrogating them, and they will be punished eventually. Van Cleef, His Majesty the King can let go of the hatred of killing the queen, why can't you let go?"

Van Cleef said angrily: "Let it go? You said it lightly! Sean, for so many years of hard work, we have not been paid in the end, and our efforts have been in vain! If the hatred for so many years cannot be vented, how can you let us live! "

Sean said: "Your hard work has never been in vain, because Stormwind City is there, it has stood for a long time, and it will stand for a long time. As long as Stormwind City is still alive, your hard work and sweat will not be in vain. The name will be remembered by the world for a day. Even if Stormwind City is gone one day, people will still pass on word of mouth, who rebuilt Stormwind City back then."

After a pause, Xiao En continued: "Your hatred needs to be vented, but it should not be directed towards Stormwind City. You are not old, you can live for a long time, and you should not let hatred continue to fill your hearts. Think about Rui Ke, think about Vanessa, you want them to live in hate all the time, hope more people live in hate all the time?"

"Ever rebuilt a city? How can I have the heart to destroy another city?"

"Van Cleef, His Majesty the King has brought a decree."

"We will go to Dustwallow Marsh to kill Onyxia. I hope you and your brother can also participate. Hatred needs to be vented, so vent it to Onyxia."

"After the catharsis, you still need to continue to realize your value."

"You are the best craftsmen in the world, and you should let more works appear in this world. Your names should be engraved on the commemorative plaques of every building completed."

"Your best work has been destroyed, and you still need to rebuild it. His Majesty the King has prepared a reward."

"The Kingdom does not have enough tax revenue, so His Majesty the King will take other ways to compensate."

"Dead Mine will continue to be mined by you, and [-]% of the gold mine will go to you as compensation for what you owed to you and your brothers."

"You will become the mayor and sheriff of Yuexi Town, and you and your brothers will settle down there. What you destroyed should be rebuilt by you."

"The name of Defias will last forever, but it will no longer be a bandit guild, but a stonemason's guild. You will be the best stonemason's guild in the world, and all the large buildings in the Kingdom of Azeroth will be handed over to you Build. And you don't have to worry about being unpaid again, and those nasty things will never happen again."

"It's not an order, it's a request."

"In the name of a king, to his subjects."

"In the name of one father, a request to another father."

"Will you accept it, Van Cleef?"
