Part-time BOSS

Tenaris (King of Lordaeron): "Okay, okay, it is really a joy to have a godson like you. As a godfather, I have nothing to give you. By the way, the Royal Lord of Lordaeron recently The Knights have newly bred a batch of top-notch war horses, so I’ll give you one, and you can choose it yourself.”

God of War Lu Bu (Prince of Alterac): "Thank you father for the horse."

When the group finished their visit and walked out of the palace, Murphy pulled the God of War Lu Bu aside.

"Damn, what are you kid doing? Why did you suddenly show up like this? Do you want to be a gangster and betray us brothers?"

War God Lu Bu hurriedly explained: "What are you talking about? Am I the kind of person who stabs you in the back?"

Mo Feixin said your name says everything.

"Then what are you trying to do? If you don't explain it clearly to me today, we brothers will have nothing to do."

War God Lu Bu could only explain in a low voice, "I did all this to become the Lich King."

"The Lich King?" Murphy was a little confused about the thinking of Lu Bu, the God of War, and why the Lich King was related to his godfather. 1

War God Lu Bu explained, "Think about it, why did the undead disaster break out in Lordaeron in history, and why did Arthas eventually become the Lich King? One of the biggest reasons is that Lordaeron is the most densely populated in the entire eastern continent. In the region, among the seven alliance nations plus the dwarves, elves, dwarfs and other forces, Lordaeron is the largest kingdom and has the most dense population.

The undead must have a huge number to form a climate, so Lordaeron must be a key area where the undead natural disaster breaks out.

As the Crown Prince of Lordaeron, Arthas shouldered the responsibility of defending the kingdom, so he was eventually eroded by the rage of revenge.

His potential is extremely high. Once he becomes black and can implode in Lordaeron, he will naturally become the target of the Lich King.

Of course, according to our current timeline, there are probably more candidates who can become the Lich King. All princes of Lordaeron should have a chance. Of course, the prerequisite is that they can go to Northrend to pull out Frostmourne.

There is no rule here that he must be a biological son to have this opportunity. Anyway, as long as he has potential, can implode in Lordaeron, and can be carried away by the rage of revenge, it should be enough to meet these three points.

My own potential is absolutely nothing to say. Now that I have adopted Tenaris as my adoptive father, it naturally meets the second point. When the undead disaster breaks out in the future, I will have the opportunity to intervene. When the time comes, I will be the first to step in. If I go to fight with the Cult of the Damned, kill Stratholme before Arthas, go to Northrend to find the Dreadlord, and pull out Frostmourne first, then I will become the chief death knight. Well, if the plot develops, I might be able to become the Lich King in the future. "

Mo Feixin said, damn, your little calculations are too loud, but he thinks that this God of War Lu Bu is completely whimsical. There are so many princes in Lordaeron, and the classic plot of natural disasters is known to almost all players. At that time, a bunch of biological sons rushed to massacre the city, and the strong men went to pull out Frostmourne. How could it be your godson's turn?

Murphy expressed his thoughts, but the God of War Lu Bu laughed loudly, "Haha, you can't say that. At least I have a chance this way. There was no chance before, but now there is only a 1% chance." , you can also try for it, just in case it succeeds.

Why do you think those wealthy Kryptonians spent millions to be Tenaris’ sons? Don't you think I can cut off the Lich King? If I do this, it's equivalent to spending millions of dollars in vain. I definitely won't lose anything. "

"And don't I still have brothers like you? If I really have a chance to fight for the Lich King, if everyone comes together to help me, maybe it will happen. If I want to become the Lich King, my brothers will be indispensable. The good thing is that the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse must have been chosen from among the brothers.

For the legal system, just give it to a big lich. One person can build a floating city. How about it? Are you interested in hanging out with me? "

Mo Feixin said that I have a ridiculous interest. I am the mighty Storm Dragon King. I am on the ancient dragon route and have a great future. It is completely incompatible with your undead route.

Knights of the Apocalypse don't matter, if I become the Lich King for me, maybe I can consider it.

Sigret also has no interest in this. He is following the path of the Moon Night God of War, which is considered to be a bit tough. He is not very interested in joining the Lich King and becoming an undead.

Dalabengba looked excited, "Hey, this is good, this is good, I happen to be a knight too, don't forget about me, brother, when the time comes, I don't ask too much, just give me a place as a knight of the apocalypse."

God of War Lu Bu (Prince of Alterac): "Haha, easy to talk about."

Mo Fei was speechless. What year did the natural disaster take place? It should have been the Third World War, and the Second World War has not yet started.

Starting to think about good things so early, it feels like buying a lottery ticket and fantasizing about winning the jackpot.

But even though he thought it was unreliable, he understood what the God of War Lu Bu was thinking.

"Okay, you're right, but Tenaris has been eyeing us Alterac, so please be patient and don't really sell us out."

War God Lu Bu agreed: "Don't worry, I'm a very smart person."

The four brothers left the main hall of the palace and when they walked to the entrance of the palace, they saw a familiar figure - Varian.

Murphy nodded with the other three and walked over alone.

Aidan (Prince of Alterac): "Varian - thank the gods, you're fine. I heard that Stormwind City fell, but I was very worried about you. By the way, regarding His Majesty Lion, please forgive me. .”

Varian nodded and said sadly: "Same for you, I also heard about His Majesty Aiden's death in battle."

Varian's tone was quite empathetic. In his eyes, Murphy was probably the person he had the most in common with. Not only were they sworn brothers, but their fathers died on the same day, so they were sympathetic to each other.

Murphy felt ashamed in his heart. Although he did not contribute much in Aiden's death, he was still considered one of the accomplices. This kind of "father is kind and son is filial" thing is completely different from Varian's.

But on the surface, he still showed a sad expression.

"Alas, King Ryan and my father are both true warriors. They died fighting against the evil orcs. In this critical moment, perhaps dying on the battlefield is their fate as kings. Don't say this anymore. Let’s talk about what’s coming next, this war has just begun, don’t worry Varian, I will definitely do my best to help you regain your country.”

At this time, Arthas also arrived and ran over immediately when he saw Varian.

Arthas (Prince of Lordaeron): "Second brother, just be okay. We can finally fight side by side. I fought against the Frostwolf orcs with my eldest brother before, but it was a bloody battle." Arthas said excitedly. Talking about the excitement of the battle that day, he even pulled out the Song of Ice and Fire behind him and showed it to Varian.

Varian was quite cold towards Alsace. Alsace spoke for a while, but when he saw Varian's cold expression, his voice couldn't help but lower.

He didn't know much about the strife within the Alliance, but from a military perspective, he also knew that the fall of Stormwind City was directly related to the hesitation of Alliance reinforcements.

"Second brother, I have nothing to do about Stormwind City. My father has strictly ordered me to deal with the orcs in Alterac before going south to reinforce Stormwind City. Who knew what would happen..."

Varian shook his head, "I don't blame you Arthas, you are still young and do not understand the truth of this world. You are still subject to the constraints of power.

But my father's death was not an accident. Sometimes the darkness in human hearts is more terrifying than that of orcs. If it weren't for your father..." He hesitated, "I'm sorry I have to say this, but I I can no longer trust you now. "

Alsace's face suddenly turned pale, and he muttered: "Second brother...me"

Varian already nodded at Murphy, turned and left.

Alsace was immediately anxious. He had always been a fan of Varian, "Big brother, second brother..."

Murphy patted Arthas on the shoulder. He was not surprised by Varian's reaction. Tenaris was plotting against the Kingdom of Stormwind, and Varian would be a ghost if he could let go. It would be enough if he didn't fall out with Arthas directly. That’s it.

The fact that he was able to explain it clearly to Alsace was actually a sign of trust in Alsace. If he really didn't trust Alsace, he might be conceited and put on a show.

It's just trust, but trust is the only thing that can't be done, but his father is dead and he continues to hang out with his enemy's son.

He was explained to Alsace about the joints. The more Alsace listened, the uglier his face became.

"Is this really my father's conspiracy? My father deliberately wants to kill His Majesty Ryan?"

"Conspiracy is out of the question, but conspiracy is certain. His Majesty Tenaris, like Varian, has the ambition to unify the alliance and rebuild the empire, but he is more unscrupulous in doing so."

"No, this is impossible! My father is definitely not that kind of person!" Alsace shouted excitedly.

Murphy didn't say anything else, just patted Alsace on the shoulder, "If you really want to know the truth, why don't you ask your father yourself? Of course, remember not to mention what Varian and I said, you He is a smart boy, Alsace, you should know the seriousness of the matter."

Arthas gritted his teeth and nodded.

Ten minutes later, Arthas met Tenaris in the garden of the Palace of Lordaeron.

Arthas (Prince of Lordaeron): "Father! I'm back!" He did not forget to salute first.

Tenaris (King of Lordaeron): "Ah, Arthas, you are finally back. Let me take a look. Well, you look much stronger again. It seems that war is indeed the best whetstone. , I heard about your feats in Alterac, leading the Lordaeron army to defeat the powerful Frostwolf Orcs and Frost Trolls, and also personally beheaded and expelled an Ice Elemental Lord. You are worthy of my Menethil family. children.

Your bravery reminds me of your grandfather. "

As soon as he saw Arthas, Tenaris showed a happy expression.

I don’t know why, although I have more than 40 sons and more than 30 daughters, this youngest son is still my favorite.

I always feel that I am closer to Arthas. As for the other sons and daughters, Tenaris feels inexplicably alienated and is too lazy to get close to him.

Arthas was very pleased with Tenaris' praise. Normally he would have been extremely proud, but at this time he just wanted to clarify the doubts in his heart.

"Father, I have a question for you. Was the fall of Stormwind City and King Ryan's death in battle all planned by you?"

Tenaris's face suddenly became serious after hearing this, "Why do you ask that? Who said something to you?"

Alsace remembered Murphy's words, so naturally he would not tell the truth.

He shook his head and said: "No one said anything to me. This is a possibility that I have thought of during this period, but I don't really believe it. This should not be your approach. This should not be the behavior of a king. .”

Not only was Tenaris not annoyed after hearing this, but he became happy, "Haha, I didn't expect you to grow up so fast. Very good. It seems that the Kingdom of Lordaeron has a successor. The growth of force certainly makes me happy, but the wisdom of Promotion is the most important quality of a king.

I can answer your question, yes - and no.

The fall of Stormwind City was indeed foreseen in my plan, but Ryan's death in battle was unplanned. Hum, that idiot who was blinded by the sense of honor actually died fighting for a group of civilians. Uri The people of the En family are really not very smart. You must not imitate them. When encountering such a crisis, the right way is to preserve yourself first.

Only as long as the royal family survives can the kingdom survive. "

Arthas was shocked but relieved by this answer. Deep in his heart, he already felt that this was probably true.

At least his father didn't deliberately kill King Ryan, he comforted himself.

"But by doing this, isn't it a betrayal of our allies?"

Tenaris patiently taught: "You have to understand Arthas, the establishment of any achievement is based on the sacrifice, and now a great achievement is before our eyes.

The time has come for Arthas. The original development space of Lordaeron has reached its limit, but it seems that fate is on our side. Fear will bring unity. The invasion of the orcs is an excellent opportunity, a completely The opportunity to integrate the alliance and establish the Empire of Lordaeron.

Why do you think I bought so much ore from the dwarves? Why should I ask you to apprentice with Muradin Bronzebeard? Why do you think I want to marry several of your sisters to Gilneas and to Stromgarde?

Are you going to spend a lot of supplies to help the refugees in the Kingdom of Stormwind, and spend money to bribe the elven nobles in Quel'Thalas?

All this is for the arrival of this day.

This world is dangerous, as the arrival of the orcs proves. To allow the family and kingdom to survive permanently, the only way is to strengthen themselves.

After thousands of years, our Menethil family has finally waited for our glorious moment, the moment to establish the Empire of Lordaeron.

Arthas, my child, I have had high hopes for you from the moment you were born. I proudly watch you grow up day by day and become a strong and intelligent warrior. I have never said these words to anyone. Yes, but today I hope you understand that the Alliance must unite, and only Lordaeron can do this.

I will build a powerful empire, and one day, my life will reach its end, and you will be crowned king and rule this world. "

Tenaris spoke as he thought about it, his eyes revealing endless ambition and enthusiasm.

Arthas looked at Tenaris in shock, at his father. It was the first time he had seen Tenaris reveal his true feelings.

When he thought about taking on this heavy responsibility, a heavy pressure immediately came to his mind, making him almost breathless.

Crowned as king? Build an empire? Is this really a fate I can bear? Arthas had doubts in his heart for a moment.

He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.

"But, isn't there still eldest brother? There are also third brother and fifth brother. There are many people who are more qualified to inherit the throne than me."

After hearing this, Tenaris' face suddenly showed a complicated look.

Indeed, Arthas was not the crown prince. His eldest son Godwin Menethil was the crown prince of the kingdom, and even he could not change this easily.

With the title of 'Glory of Holy Light', Godwin is the legitimate new king in terms of merit and popularity.

However, for some reason, Tenaris could never have much affection for this almost perfect eldest son.

"Yes, your brothers are all excellent princes, but..." Tenaris hesitated to speak. He couldn't explain where the disgust in his heart came from. He tried hard to think clearly. The reason, but just like countless times in the past, I have no clue at all.

While he was thinking so thoughtfully, his expression gradually became twisted and ferocious.
