New Order of Azeroth

In line with the principle that thieves never leave empty-handed, Vanessa drove a carriage, which contained some grain, eggs, and raw meat. Some of these she bought from the goblins, and some were recently captured by the Brotherhood's hunters. They were of reasonable variety. It’s complete, and if there’s a business opportunity, she wouldn’t mind selling it to make a small profit.

The sun in the Western Wilderness was very strong. She came out of the hidden passage on the other side of Yuexi Town and headed north, camping in the wild for two nights. On the afternoon of the third day, she leisurely drove the carriage to the current location of the Defias Brothers. Their biggest enemy is the Westfall Militia, a human town called Sentinel Ridge.

This place was originally just a semi-abandoned sentry tower. It was built by Baratheon Wrynn, the ancestor of the Kingdom of Stormwind, when he resisted the gnoll army. The great king has long since turned into dust, and the sentry tower he built has gradually become abandoned. Now, with the return of the old knights from the northern battlefield and the establishment of the militia, a large number of civilians have gathered here to seek shelter.

Now the main building of the guard tower has been expanded by half, and many civilians are covered within the defense range.

Vanessa looked at the defense facilities here. On the front, facing the direction of Yuexi Town in the south, there are two crossbows. They look a bit old and far inferior to the goblin steam technology, but these are the weapons of humans in this era.

There are also some large barrels that appear to contain kerosene on the top of the sentry tower on Sentinel Ridge. They should be defensive measures set up by the other party to prevent thieves from climbing.

Two ballistas and a few barrels of kerosene were the defense measures for the entire Sentinel Ridge. There was only one half-built wall left. The walls were distributed in a half-moon shape, barely protecting most of the area directly south of the Sentinel Ridge and the north side. There is no protection at all.

Haha, Vanessa was dumbfounded. Is this going to be a war? Even the kobolds know how to take detours, not to mention what is the use of this three-meter-high wall? Her coin-operated group striker can blast away with a random blast of plasma balls.

It was a battle at the village chief level, which was why the Kingdom of Stormwind didn't care. It was too crude, and even if they were allowed to fight, they wouldn't be able to produce any results.

It's a pity that I disappoint you. I am here to win the hearts and minds of the people.

Raising a middle finger to her imaginary enemy, she drove the carriage slowly into Sentinel Hill.

Vanessa in the original time and space could stay under the old knight's nose for four years. She didn't think that she would be discovered if she came here to spy on information now.

It can only be said that Da Fan's protection for his daughter is really good. Intelligence agencies like MI7 don't know about her existence, and it is even less likely that the dogmatic and rigid old knight will know about her.

"What do you do? Are you a businessman!" The guard in front of the guard tower was very curious about her visit. After Vanessa did not deny that she was a businessman, he shouted at the top of his lungs.

"The merchant is coming! The merchant is coming!"

What's the meaning? Vanessa was shocked. Could it be that merchants in the world of Azeroth are synonymous with bandits? Such a violent reaction was really beyond her expectation.

The soldiers' shouts echoed across the vast wilderness, and while Vanessa was thinking about whether she should show off her dagger and fight her way out, a large group of civilians rushed out of their simple tents.

They were either holding rice bowls or carrying cloth bags. They were all sallow and thin, dragging women and children with them, and ran out in a noisy manner.

"Please don't panic. We haven't seen the merchant for a long time. We are here to help you maintain order. Please believe in our honor. We will not do anything that violates the law." Another guard seemed to see Vanessa's face. He thought that the young girl was intimidated by the posture of the civilians, so he quickly explained. Not only did he explain, but he also held a spear and forced back a few civilians who had rushed closest.

"Please, give us something to eat. The child hasn't eaten in two days."

"This kind lady, I can drive a carriage. Please accept me. I only eat one meal a day."

"By the Holy Light, I only need one bite, just one bite!"

Not long after, more than seventy civilians gathered in front of the main entrance of Sentinel Ridge, and more people were running in the distance.

Vanessa finally determined one thing. She was not exposed, but her identity as a businessman was too sensitive at this time and place. The current situation was a bit inconsistent with her original intention of low-key observation, and it had to be said that it was a mistake.

The thought of making a mistake was quickly replaced by the miserable situation of the hungry people. Born in a peaceful era, she had never seen the hungry people at all. When she came to Azeroth, she came into contact with a group of thieves. She could not starve to death in any environment, and she had always lacked an intuitive feeling for the common people in the western wilderness.

I have to say that the scene in front of her gave her a great impact.

There were very few children and elderly people at the scene, and those who could rush to her were mostly young adults. Even these young people were all sallow and thin, and several of them were shaking when walking.

What she was thinking about at this time was not about seeking kingship, but about helping these poor people. Da Fan was wrong, so wrong. All he left for the West Wilderness was trauma. Vanessa, her predecessor, was also wrong. , she burned away the last hope of these civilians. UU reading www.uukｎshu.net

These civilians don't care about alliances and tribes, natural disasters or pandaren. They just want to live. Unfortunately, even this wish is so vague. The eyes of heroes of all races will only focus on those major events, such as the hunger problem of civilians. They They have always turned a blind eye. They are busy saving the world, so how can they have time to worry about these little things?

The thought of hunting rabbits and making more money faded away. She calculated the food she carried before discussing with the guards.

"I don't have a lot of food with me. Can you gather the elderly and children together first and give them priority?"

The guards hurriedly agreed and asked the civilians to line up at the top of their lungs, giving priority to the elderly and children.

They were quite experienced. After Vanessa took out some tiger meat and raptor meat from Stranglethorn Valley, they didn't ask what kind of meat it was. They just brought over five large iron pots, set up firewood and started boiling water and cooking meat. .

There is no condiment, no condiments, just boil it. The hot meat is distributed to the children. Many old people voluntarily give up the food and leave it to the young people.

There is a good side, but also a less harmonious side. Several adults pretended to be the children's parents and tried to rob them from them.

With a bang, the old flintlock gun knocked down an adult man. Vanessa asked the goblin to make a pistol for herself. It just happened to be the first show today. She blew away the smoke from the muzzle and waved The appearance of a peerless master shocked a group of hungry people who were ready to take risks.

The guards were not surprised. It was strange that a young girl was wandering in this barren land without weapons.

It's just that they have never seen this kind of short, hand-held musket. Is it a new product from dwarves and gnomes?
