Wizard: This witcher is neglecting his duties.

Chapter 333 Military Intelligence Seven

Wayne's fight ended too quickly; it was over almost as soon as it began.

Before many guards could react, Edmund VanCleef, the notorious bandit who had roamed the western wilderness for years, had already been severely injured by the adventurer's fists, collapsed to the ground, and completely lost any possibility of escape.

This was undoubtedly very exciting news. Captain Geng Sait, who had just been directing his team to block the retreat route, was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help but show a hint of joy on his face.

Without any hesitation, he immediately grabbed a rope from one of his men, tied the unconscious Van Cleef up like a dumpling, then looked up at Wayne with a face full of excitement and said:

"Mr. Wayne, you are truly a powerful warrior."

"Not only did they help us protect these supplies, they even helped us capture Edmund VanCleef, the leader of the Defias Brotherhood."

"I never expected that this notorious bandit would personally attack the supplies we were exchanging. Fortunately, we had your help; otherwise, we certainly wouldn't have been able to complete the mission, and we might all have died on the way."

Wayne simply nodded indifferently upon hearing this, then kicked VanCleef hard on the ground, breaking one of his arms to prevent him from faking his fainting spell.

Hearing the crisp crack of bones breaking, Gengsett felt a slight chill and glanced up at Wayne, but the world didn't show any abnormality. He just hadn't expected that this seemingly amiable adventurer would actually be so ruthless.

However, as the person in charge of this team, he now faces a difficult problem.

Should he prioritize delivering the supplies to the sentry and then to the guard, or should he deal with the wanted criminal he has on hand first?

What was originally just an emergency supply escort mission unexpectedly led to the capture of the leader of the Defias Brotherhood.

This is a wanted criminal whom even the most mysterious MI7 in Stormwind couldn't capture, a key figure who has disrupted the normal life of the entire Westfall.

If we can escort him to Stormwind and hand him over to the military, it will definitely be a significant achievement.

After weighing the pros and cons, Captain Gengsett looked up at Wayne and said:

"Mr. Wayne, now that this criminal is in your hands, I have a suggestion for you. I wonder if you would like to hear it?"

Wayne, having roughly guessed what he was going to say, calmly nodded, making a gesture of willingness to listen.

"Please speak, Captain Gengsette. If the situation is extremely urgent, I am willing to cooperate."

Geng Sait first let out a hearty laugh, then organized his thoughts and said:

"While escorting supplies to Sentinel Ridge was important, we now have an even more important mission."

"If you are willing to assist us in escorting VanCleef to Stormwind for trial, you will be rewarded by the military for both your previous assistance in defeating the bandits and your personal capture of this wanted criminal. The reward will be quite substantial."

"However, these supplies cannot be abandoned here, so I plan to send one team member with you, while the others will stay with me to continue escorting these supplies to Sentinel Territory."

What do you think of this proposal?

This is certainly a good suggestion, and it coincides perfectly with Wayne's wishes.

So he whistled, summoning back Deathclaw, a colossal creature already covered in blood.

Then VanCleef was strapped to the back of the behemoth, and together with Gengset's second-in-command, Lieutenant Webber, they set off for Stormwind City overnight.

He had originally planned to visit the Lawrence family in Goldshire, whom he hadn't seen for several years, but since there was an emergency, he decided to wait until later to meet them.

However, due to the delay caused by the capture of Van Cleef, by the time Wayne set off again, dusk was already approaching and the surroundings were gradually darkening.

But this didn't faze Wayne and Deathclaw. Unlike ordinary humans, they both possessed darkvision, which allowed them to move at their speed even in the dark.

The Deathclaw, standing ten meters tall, takes a stride of seven or eight meters when it runs. Moreover, this monster has amazing stamina; when it has enough energy, it can run continuously for two or three hours.

So soon, with Deathclaw running at full speed, Wayne arrived at the road not far outside Stormwind before dawn.

Deathclaw's terrifying appearance also attracted the attention of many patrolling guards. If it weren't for Lieutenant Webber's explanation, he might not have been able to successfully bring the beast close to the city.

While chatting with Lieutenant Webber, Wayne received a very useful piece of information from him.

In the power system of Azeroth, taming pets to help their masters fight has formed a relatively complete profession, including how to form contracts with animals and how to train pets in various combat skills.

Some high-level hunters can even commission mages to create a special pet badge that can temporarily store their pets in that warp, allowing them to summon their pets to help them in battle during emergencies.

However, it is said that these subspace pet badges are extremely rare, and ordinary people have no way to buy them even if they have the money.

Regardless, after receiving this information, Wayne now had another objective on his trip to Azeroth.

As they walked and talked, Wayne sat on the back of Deathclaw, followed by a squad of guards watching him. Only after he, under the guidance of Lieutenant Webber and the guards, placed the massive Deathclaw in a large stable near the walls of Stormwind did the guards relax their vigilance slightly, allowing him and Lieutenant Webber to lead the prisoner Vanfrick into the city.

However, just as Lieutenant Webber was leading Wayne out of the barracks, accompanied by several guards, preparing to go directly to the military headquarters to hand over the prisoner...

A middle-aged man, who appeared to be an officer and was riding a horse, suddenly appeared before them. After dismounting, he walked to Lieutenant Webber's side, took out a black token, and whispered:

"Lieutenant Webber, this is MI7's token."

"As per MI7's orders, the prisoner Van Cleef will be temporarily handled by MI7."

"You will now bring this adventurer with you. The commander of MI7 needs to know the details of this matter."

His voice wasn't loud, and those close to him couldn't hear the officer clearly, but Wayne had excellent hearing, so he couldn't hide at that distance.

Lieutenant Weber was taken aback upon hearing this, then picked up the token and examined it carefully.

He seemed to know something about MI7, this mysterious organization. After exchanging a few words in hushed tones with the officer, he turned and dismissed the guards escorting them before speaking to Wayne:

"Mr. Wayne, could you please come with us to a place?"

"The officer in charge of the manhunt for Van Cleef would like to speak with you to get more details about this matter."

"Rest assured, Stormwind will never mistreat any meritorious adventurer; you will receive the reward you deserve."

Upon hearing this, Wayne casually glanced around and discovered that in such a short time since entering the city, four figures resembling stalkers had already infiltrated their vicinity. Clearly, MI7 took Van Cleef quite seriously.
