Azeroth Shadow Trail

Chapter 554 107. The King's Invitation

"The Alterac Palace was on fire last night, some thugs broke in and killed the 'mad king' Aiden Perenolde who was imprisoned in the palace, the palace was stolen, and a large number of treasures collected by the royal family were robbed.

Also last night, the direct and collateral blood relatives of the Perenold family living near the palace were almost slaughtered by the mob.

Only Major Oriden Perenold, who was stationed near Steinbrad, escaped under the protection of the Prestor family's private soldiers.

But the major was also attacked by assassins and almost died in the chaos. "

Early the next morning, as soon as Laike woke up, he saw a stern-faced Shaw appear in his room, bringing him a "shocking" news.

The performance of the pirates was also very "shocked".

He was very dramatic, exclaiming in his artificially high-pitched voice:

"Holy Light, this is terrible. What kind of arrogant bastard dares to do such a bottomless thing? Is it impossible for a king to protect his own safety these days?

Ah, your life on this continent is too 'exciting', I think about it carefully, I'd better go back to the sea as soon as possible. "

"Don't pretend!"

Xiao Er asked with a serious face:

"Does this have anything to do with you? Your Uncrowned faction has been active in Alterac recently!"

"What's the matter with you people?"

Bu Laike was dissatisfied and put on his beloved red eyepatch, carefully tied it into a butterfly knot on the back of his head, and said in a very unhappy tone:

"Why are you the first to suspect me every time something bad happens? I slept in this tower in a daze last night. How can I travel thousands of miles to Alterac Palace to assassinate the Mad King?

The Uncrowned under my command are just so few people, it's okay if you let them engage in assassination. To storm a palace, burn half a city, and kill a king was beyond their power.

Besides, let me ask you, what good will it do me if Aiden is dead?

You are also a member of Ravenholdt, you should know better than those who speculate for no reason, there is no bounty on Aiden at all recently, no one wants that madman to die at this sensitive moment. "

Shaw was silent for a few seconds.

He reached out to help Bo Laike straighten his collar, and whispered:

"I can't refute you with facts, but my instinct is telling me that this matter has nothing to do with you."

"Then stop playing with your 'instinct'."

The pirate said softly:

"It's a 'bad friend' who will lead you astray! Besides, this matter really has nothing to do with me."

"boom"

The door was pushed open, and Nathanos with a stern face walked into the room with a briefing from Lordaeron's official intelligence organization, only to see Shaw and Bu Laike standing very close to each other.

Shore's hand was still on Bu Laike's neck, and the two looked very intimate.

this.

"It's not what you think! Don't think about it."

Before Bu Laike said anything, Xiao Er flashed far away with a whoosh. He pulled his sleeve and explained to his other brother seriously:

"I have a lover in Stormwind City, a very beautiful woman!"

"The more you explain, the more confusing it becomes."

Maris glanced at Shaw, who shrugged and handed him the briefing in his hand, saying:

"New information has been sent. Before the Alterac palace caught fire last night, a mage stationed there saw a black burning bone dragon haunting it.

The archmage sent by Dalaran found the remains of the demon in the ruins after the fire was extinguished.

The attack was the work of the Black Knights.

Their goal has also been clarified. Among the lost royal treasures, there is a very sensitive thing, the Book of Medivh! That book records the magic that breaks the dimension of reality and summons demons on a large scale. "

"Look, I just said, it has nothing to do with me."

Bu Laike stood by the window, picked up the half bottle of wine that he hadn't finished drinking last night, gurgled his mouth, and said to Xiao who looked down at the information:

"Don't wrong me in the future, brother, your questioning just now really made me sad. When everyone else doubts me, you should believe me more firmly."

"yes?"

Xiao Er glared at the cunning guy and said:

“I was skeptical before, but now I can be sure.

You have nothing to do with the Uncrowned, the Black Knights are going to grab the Book of Medivh, they have no reason and no time to assassinate those offshoots of the Perenold royal family."

"Uh, this point is also written in the intelligence."

Nathanos reminded with some embarrassment:

"Flip back, and you can see the results of the investigation. It was the orcs who killed those members of the royal family."

"Orcs?"

Xiao Er's expression changed, and he quickly flipped a few pages backwards, frowning and saying:

"The news that there are orc clans hidden in the Alterac Mountains has been confirmed?"

"Then what do you think my Uncrowned Man is doing in Alterac these past few months?"

Bu Laike snorted, reached out his hand and took out the emblem of the Holy Light Church from his bosom, tossed it up and down, and said in a proud tone:

"When you thought the orcs in Alterac were just legends, the Uncrowned have figured out the size, territory, scope of activities, staffing, war potential, and information of their leader of the Frostwolf clan.

It should be at this moment that my subordinates have gone to the headquarters of the Church of the Holy Light in Stratholme to meet His Majesty Alonsus Faol in my name.

Submit to him secretly a "Summary of Intelligence and Investigation of the Frostwolf Clan in the Alterac Mountains".

This is the 'insignificant' contribution I can make to the Church as a Templar Assassin.

After all, no matter what, I used to be an 'Alliance Hero'. Even though I am a pirate now, I still miss the race I was born in.

And while you were reviewing the information, my subordinates have already begun the pre-war expulsion of the Frostwolf Clan, and are even preparing to lead the Alliance Legion into the Alterac Valley on a large scale. "

The pirate put on a posture of holding a wisdom pearl, and said to the two brothers in front of him:

"I keep telling you that the uncrowned are born to do great things, and I'm not bragging."

"Why should it be presented to His Majesty Faol?"

Nathanos asked hesitantly:

"You should hand him over to Marshal Lothar."

"No, it's the right choice to leave it to Your Majesty."

Shore, who is better at analyzing political games, shook his head and said:

"Marshal Lothar has already attracted a lot of attention at this point in time. Once the news of the orcs appearing in the hinterland of the human kingdom spreads, the marshal regains military power, which will make those people even more fearful.

In the current situation, only His Majesty can suppress the subsequent waves. "

Xiao Er looked at Bo Laike who was looking for wine in the wine cabinet with a complicated expression, and he asked:

"You already knew that the Mad King would die? You deliberately chose this time to present the Frostwolf Clan's information, in order to take the initiative to break the current situation in Northern Xinjiang?"

"You like to think too much."

Bo Laike picked up a bottle of wine and stood up. He turned around and said:

"It's all just a coincidence."

"swish"

Just as the pirate bit off the cork and was about to drink the wine, the light of the teleportation technique lit up in his room, and the excited little Xingxing came out with a bunch of things in his arms.

She said excitedly to the three people in the room:

"The bald old man was assassinated just now. I can see clearly from the sky that his yard is full of blood and there are several corpses. The place is now under martial law by the mages.

And this, Captain, the royal family of Lordaeron has sent us invitations!

It is said that Her Royal Highness Princess will be married in a few days, and invited us to Lordaeron City to watch the ceremony. Oh, and this one is just for Nathanos. "

Little Xingxing took out a transfer order stamped with the stamp of Lordaeron's military headquarters from a pile of things in his arms, and handed it to Maris.

The latter took a look in his hand, raised his head and said to Shaw and Bu Laike:

"The military commanded me to go to East Weald immediately after Her Royal Highness's wedding, form a ranger army outside Andorhal, and follow Marshal Garithos to attack the orcs in the Alterac Mountains."

"Garithers is the marshal now?"

Bu Laike asked:

"Wasn't he a general before?"

"It should be temporarily sealed."

Nathanos glanced at the order in his hand, and said softly:

"King Terenas doesn't seem to want Marshal Lothar to regain military power. He wants to solve the orcs before they ferment."

"The old king has a good idea. I'm afraid he forgot how Garithos was beaten up by the orcs. He really thought that Orgrim was dead, and the orcs could be bullied casually?"

The pirate took a sip of wine, wiped his mouth, curled his lips and said:

"I'm leaving my words here today!

Garithos or some other messed-up "Marshal" from another kingdom, if they dare to enter Alterac Valley without the orcs, I will let them be buried there!

This Marshal must come from Lothar!

This is an agreement between me and Your Majesty. Except for the army flying the Lothar banner, Alterac is not open to others. "

Bu Laike picked up the invitation letter with the royal emblem of Lordaeron printed on it from Xiao Xingxing's hand, he opened it, looked at it, and said in a casual tone:

"Those who dare to break through, I will definitely teach them a lesson they will never forget."

The room fell silent.

A few seconds later, Xiao Er said in a deep voice:

"You're adding fuel to the fire!"

"You are forcing Marshal Lothar and those dirty guys to go to war immediately!"

Nathanos also reacted, he questioned:

"Why does it have to be like this?"

"Then what do you think Lothar is doing in northern Xinjiang? Is he here for an outing?"

Bu Laike asked back:

"Look at your arrangement, what's the use of having so many legendary guards around Lothar? It's a waste of resources, the easiest way to keep him alive is to return him the military power he was deprived of!

You idiots, playing cards at the table with those old foxes who have been playing politics all their lives, do you have any chance of winning?

Flipping the table is the easiest way.

As long as Lothar has 50,000 soldiers, which king would dare to attack him? "

"You think things are too simple! Except for the Stormwind Kingdom, which king would hand over the army to Marshal Lothar?"

Xiao Er rubbed his forehead, and said in the complex thoughts running at high speed:

"Even if Marshal Lothar has an army, so what? Is he going to fight another civil war with the kings? He doesn't want to do that, so he came alone and tried to solve the problem by himself.

He didn't want to see the human kingdom that had just gone through the war get into chaos again because of him.

Bu Laike, I understand that you are impatient to fight those people secretly, but before you break the contradiction, you should at least discuss it with us. Now that Marshal Lothar has no soldiers in his hands, how can he do it?"

"Who said no?"

The pirate opened the window, and on the Dalaran street below, there was a knight galloping forward, holding the flag of the Kingdom of Alterac in his hand, and shouting at the top of his voice while galloping:

"The orcs attacked the border of Alterac, the last orthodox successor of the Kingdom of Alterac, His Excellency Auriden Perenolde, together with the Prestor family and the Barov family, requested Marshal Lothar to go and sit in command!

The orcs are back!

Alterac needs Lothar the Destroyer of Orcs! The human kingdom needs the invincible Lothar! "

"Look, isn't this there?"

Bu Laike pointed out the window, took another sip of wine, and said softly:

"The sole orthodox heir to the throne of Alterac, together with the two largest nobles in the country, have voluntarily asked Marshal Lothar to go to Alterac.

He is worthy of being a popular commander, and the public opinion is surging. "

"You've even arranged this."

Xiao Er has understood everything now, he looked at Bu Laike, for a moment he didn't know what to ask, but soon, a strange light appeared in Xiao Er's eyes.

He said:

"What do you want Marshal Lothar to do?"

"I gave him the Emperor's Sword, what do you think I want him to do?"

The pirate tasted the sweeter and sweeter wine in his mouth, and he repeated what he had just said:

"As I said, the uncrowned are born to do great things. I want to show our incompetent waste colleagues what kind of great things assassins can do.

We can rise and fall empires, we can cause wars of destruction, we can scare the old foxes of those thrones up at night.

And now, we're running around all day offering a bounty for a small amount of money.

Ravenholdt, League of Assassins, Duke, Master Assassins

Hey, it's all trash! "

"Marshal Lothar will not agree."

Nathanos said softly:

"He's not going to cause a fight because of himself."

"He owes me his life."

Bu Laike turned his head and threw the wine bottle out of the window casually, knocking out a passing hapless dwarf. He clapped his hands and said firmly:

"He has no right to say 'no' to me!

I promised Emperor Thoradin that I would hand over his saber to a qualified user. If Lothar is not qualified, I will not trouble him.

Someone will trouble him. "

After finishing speaking, the pirate said to the little Xing Xingxing who was looking at him adoringly for the first time:

"Help me find a dress."

"The king invited us to the wedding, and the bride and groom are big names, and it's a really big event, and you have to dress up.

You come to be my female companion, my school girl.

But there is one thing I must tell you in advance.

During this wedding, don't let your breath out, not at all.

And you can do whatever I ask you to do. If you do something wrong and cause trouble, I'll let you go. "

PS:

There will be an explosion on the 11th of next month
