The Coalition certainly doesn't have the alien force to thunder and suppress Alterac. www.biquge.info It is better to say that with the year-round snow in the Alterac Mountains and the complicated roads and the situation of natural passes, even if it is a million troops for the Duke of Lothar, it is difficult to say that he will take this kingdom with the power of thunder.

Didn't you see that even Orgrim, the hero of the orcs, didn't rashly invade Alterac?

So, the force was of no help to the Alsace plan, which was enough to be called crazy from a conventional point of view. Because in his plan, the column of troops is filled in with the troops of the Alterac Kingdom. Of course, it's definitely not a fair plan.

"Actually, it's very simple, we all know that the center of power in Alterac is actually in the Alterac Mountains, and what does the Pirenod family rely on to maintain their luxurious aristocratic life by guarding such a barren land covered with ice and snow?"

Listening to Arthas's words, recalling the Pirenor family's famous taste for luxury in the Alliance, Varian couldn't help but frown.

"That's right, they are the strongest in the oppression of the people, but first, the Alterac Mountains are full of fierce beasts, and the people have to rely on the soldiers and horses of Pirenord, and secondly, the area is closed, and it is difficult to escape to other kingdoms, so there has been no major chaos." "But if someone lights a fire, then ......"

"But wouldn't that lead to chaos and chaos for the entire kingdom?"

"No, no, no, my dear Varian, what we are trying to do is not to let those lords do anything, but to use this notoriety to make it easier for us to get the support of our lords and the army after everything is over," Arthas tucked a dagger into the table, "but to achieve this, we must first paralyze the center of Alterac at once, and master the communication and command system of the kingdom of Alterac in the shortest possible time." Otherwise, it's just picking peaches for the orcs. ”

"It's a little more difficult......"

"It's a little harder, but it's worth a try," Arthas smiled, "How about it, Varian, would you like one?" ”

Varian looked at Arthas, as if trying to see something in his eyes, but the eyes were windows to the soul or something, and Varian couldn't see anything except the still clear blue eyes and grinning expression. At the same moment, the blood in his heart boiled instead, and he was indeed moved by the high-risk, but high-reward plan that Arthas said.

"What are we going to do?"

Hearing Varian's answer, Arthas smiled, then pulled out the dagger on the table, and played a knife in his hand: "I remember that Stormwind City should have a secret operation organization called MI7, and Lordaeron actually has it." It's just that the shelves there are relatively large, so we may have to find them ourselves. ”

"Huh?" Varian looked incomprehensible, "Where's that?" ”

"Ravenhold Manor," Arthas said, "the dagger in the shadows of the Alliance, and at the same time, our decapitation blade this time. ”

As soon as the words fell, Arthas quietly walked to the door, opened the door and looked outside, and when he saw that no one was nearby, he turned around and came to the bedside, squatted down and fiddled with it, and directly reached out and lifted up a floor tile.

"Hey! Beware of hurting your muscles! Varian hurriedly ran over, but saw Arthas throw the floor tiles in his hand lightly, and took it in a panic, only to find that it was extraordinarily light, and if he looked closely, it was a fake stone brick made of plaster, "Hey, this is ......"

"A tunnel to escape!" Arthas gave a thumbs up, "Hurry up, we only have this one chance!" ”

Through the tunnel, which Arthas did not know when it was ready, the two men left the royal city of Lordaeron once again. But this time, at least until they left the royal capital, no one would notice that they had suddenly disappeared.

"It's the so-called established fact, and when my father and king know about it, they won't be able to catch us back."

Leaving the royal capital in a traveling merchant's carriage, he followed the western trade route to Andorhar, and then headed south along the King's Way to Steinbrad, a small town on the pass of the Alterac Mountains.

Arthas was also impressed by this, because just a dozen years later, his first independent battle to lead his troops was fought here, targeting the Blackstone Orcs who had been entrenched here since the collapse of the Alterac Kingdom. As for the outcome of this operation......

Maybe it was a tactical victory, but his biggest goal was still a failure after all.

For the vast kingdom of Lordaeron, for the Blackstone Orcs, even for the teacher Uther, and for Daddy Terenus, the few people who were sacrificed by the blood of Jubithar may be just one of the inconspicuous symbols of the large sacrifices made in the tug-of-war with the orcs over the years. Even later, Uther praised Arthas for the small amount of damage he had suffered in this battle. However, only Arthas himself knows that the lives of those men represent a promise and an ideal for him.

It was an ideal that had been established since the first time he met Varian, who was trembling because of the loss of his homeland, and it was also a knot that he had planted when he lost his childhood playmate, Warhorse Invincible, not wanting to lose anything he cared about. As long as there is failure, separation, and loss, it will make Alsace at that time heartbreaking.

Cowardly and naïve, Alsace doesn't want to change. It was this obsession, as well as the pain of his best friend Varian, that made him determined to take this adventure.

"First of all, we need to get in touch with the people at Ravenhold Manor," Arthas, dressed in coarse cloth, looked at the fur merchants coming and going, the grass stalks in his mouth swaying, "Varian, how do you think we can get in touch with them?" ”

"If it's MI7, it's definitely used various methods to intervene in all aspects of Alterac by now," said Varian, who was also disguised, but wore leather armor and held a broken iron sword, "and one of the most effective means is to use adventurers to confuse the public, mixing agents with mercenaries and adventurers, and sprinkling them within the target range." ”

"It's called mud and sand," Arthas nodded, "it's an interesting approach, but Ravenhold may be a little more cunning than Matthias, so ......"

Looking at the hustle and bustle around him, Arthas stuck the stalk of grass in his mouth in his hair, and then said, "Varian, take me to the center of the market." ”

"Huh...... I see. Varian paused for a moment, then realized, "But this may wronged you." ”

"No, Varian, you are a decent person, this trick will never work," Arthas shook his hand, "and that's why we can attract the characters we want to meet." ”

With that, Arthas walked towards the center of the market, and Varian sighed and followed. Although the Alsacians were small, their feet were not slow, and it only took a few minutes for the two of them to come to the most lively place, and then Arthas sat directly on the ground, while Varian stood silently with his broken iron sword.

Inserting a grass label on the head is naturally meant to be sold. Even in Lordaeron, such human sales are everywhere, let alone in the heavily oppressed Alterac? However, seeing that the product was so arrogant, the seller looked like he was deflated, and even the tooth man who really came here for the cleanliness and beauty of Alsace retreated with amusement - after all, no one wanted to buy a guy from unknown origin, and as a result, his family was raided.

It wasn't until twenty minutes later that a man who seemed to be unable to find it if he had fallen into the crowd came up to him and said in a voice that everyone around him could hear, "How much?" ”

"The price of the country," Arthas spoke before Varian could speak, "The man sitting here is worth a kingdom, I wonder if you can afford it?" ”

"Without the guts to splash the sky, where can you come up with such a high price?" The man smiled and sat cross-legged on the ground as Arthas had done, "It's the first time we've met, but it's really eye-catching, Prince Arthas Minethir. ”

"Aren't you afraid of recognizing the wrong person?"

"Don't underestimate the manor's reconnaissance ability," the man said, "Anyway, you're not here for tourism, tell me, Your Highness, what are your plans?" ”

"I need the help of the manor so that we can get straight to Pirinod."

"It can be done, but it will probably come at a great cost," the man thought for a moment, "and, probably because of the orc invasion, the kingdom of Alterac has not been very stable lately, and Pirenod, although he is a brutal and arrogant fellow, is not without brains, and with such strict protection, your plan may not be able to succeed." ”

"I thought the lord of the manor must have been a wise man, but now it seems that he is just a coward," Arthas said, "and the courage to make such a huge investment, to reach every corner of the world, and not even to reject intelligent beings other than humans, can only make you answer like this?" Then the reward of a kingdom can only look for someone else. ”

“…… Your wisdom is clearly more than what you seem," the man was silent for a moment, and then said, "The manor is never tempted by small business, you say, what can we gain from this operation?" ”

"Half of the kingdom of Alterac, and the trust of the Alliance."

"A good offer," said the man, "then, my highness, let me show you the wisdom and power of the manor, and believe me, it is definitely worth investing in half your kingdom." ”
