171 What a big game of chess

"Alex." Nathanospi stared at Alex in front of him with a non-smiling smile. "Why are you here? I don't remember that I had recently given an order for a military transfer...... You'd better give me a satisfactory answer, or you know what the consequences will be. ”

Since Alex dared to come, his reaction to Nathanos was already expected. But as one of the few people closest to Simon, he also almost blindly believed that Lord Simon would never let him suffer for such a trivial matter. What's more, he was still carrying a letter from Simon at this time. Therefore, in the face of Nathanos's questioning, Alex only smiled slightly, saluted Nathanos unhurriedly, and then took out the letter that Simon handed him from his arms.

"General Nathanos, here is a confidential letter that Advisor Simon has asked me to deliver to you urgently. It may explain why he had to send me to deliver the letter himself. ”

Nathanos raised his hand to take the letter from Alex, and sneered, "I said where did you get so bold - but if Simon gave me this thing......" he raised the letter in his hand, "it doesn't have enough information for me to forgive you, and you still can't eat and walk around, don't you understand?" Alex. ”

Alex nodded slightly. Of course my subordinates understand. However, I believe that the general also knows that with the status of Lord Saimon, I cannot refuse to assign me to do some small things...... And I'm sure that Simon will not be untargeted. It's not too late to make a decision after the general's letter to Lord Men. With that, he stood up and stopped talking.

"Good. You're right. Nathanos slowly picked open the wax from the letter with a paper cutter and took out the letter inside.

Just glanced at it, and his smile disappeared from his face in an instant.

Alex was silent with interest in Sanos's reaction—the general's fingers twisting the thin letter were trembling slightly—which was a gaffe for the ranger-turned-Nathanos.

Nathanos repeated it, making sure that he hadn't put down the letter for every word on it.

"Do you know what's inside? Alex. Nathanos asked, seemingly casually.

Alex replied respectfully, "General." What's inside is known only to you and Lord Simon. ”

"Oh, that's ......," Nathanos frowned, muttered for a moment, and then suddenly said without a head. There shouldn't be any major military activity in the recent Silver Dawn......"

Alex kept his mouth shut and said nothing.

"Alex!" Nathanos seemed to have made up his mind. "I'm going back to the Undercity!"

"Huh?" Although he knew that the information Simon gave him must be very important and reliable, Alex was still taken aback by Nathanos's solemn attitude. He had no idea that this information was so important that Nathanos needed to make a trip back to the Undercity himself.

"General......

Nathanos waved his hand to stop Alex's advances. "Two days at most. I'll be back. Before I come back. It is enough to maintain the status quo of our army. ”

Thanos seems to have made up his mind, and Alex can only accept it. "Yes, General."

"Blood elves and human reinforcements will probably be here in the next few days. Don't get into conflict with them. I'll wait until I get back. Nasa Northston paused, and continued, "I'll go and explain to Marshal Maxwell first. ”

As he spoke, Nathanos suddenly reached out and patted Alex on the shoulder. "Alex, I heard that you died in the civil strife of the Barov family?"

Alex was reluctant to talk about the unpleasant memory, though. But in the face of Shangfeng's answer, the quality of the soldier still made him answer honestly: "Yes." Checkmate. ”

"If there was an opportunity for you to take revenge with your own hands, would you go?"

Hearing this, Alex's eyes reflected the light of revenge. He straightened up and replied loudly, "That's inevitable!" Checkmate. ”

Listening to Alex's words, Nathanos smiled bitterly. "To make is to be forgotten. Our people's obsession with revenge is still tenacious...... "Actually, he knew the answer without asking Alex, when he knew the existence of the abominable "Swallower" who killed him. Didn't he immediately get carried away by the revenge ** and insist on going to Stratholme alone.

So, the letter in Nathanos' hand reads;. He walked over to the brazier and threw the letter in.

Little by little, the fire consumed the white letter paper, and Nathanos's heart sank. He couldn't have kept such important information from her. I believe that if he doesn't tell her, someone else will tell her soon. And if she knew that he was hiding her words...... I'm going to be very angry and disappointed with him. So, instead of letting someone tell her, it's better for him to say it, and maybe he can try to stop her. But can he really stop and convince her? She is so stubborn and confident...... However, he was really afraid, afraid that she would have even the slightest accident......

Thinking about it, Nathanos's heart was troubled, and he had no confidence. He was silently melted and devoured by the charcoal fire before he withdrew his gaze.

"Let's go, Alex, let's go find Maxwell together."

"Ah, yes, General." Alex replied. It was only for a moment, but if he didn't say anything when the letter fell into the brazier, it seemed to mention ...... word "traitor".

Alex followed Nathanos, but he couldn't help but wonder in his heart...... What is this information about?

"Lord Maxwell, I'm Nathanos, can I come in?"

"Please come in."

"North?" Thea, who was talking to Maxwell, was taken aback and tried to avoid it, but found that it was too late.

Nathanos pushed the door open and entered, completely unaware of the person he had not expected - Thea. But he, Sia, was just as surprised by his appearance. In the moment he was in Asia, his gaze almost subconsciously swept to Alex behind him.

The information that made him have to leave the Plague Lands, Alex's arrival, in the Plague Lands, Alex is the second most powerful general in the military, and he is not close to the general of the Dreaded Demon King faction, all of this is probably arranged for the sake of Shia in front of him...... Simon really has good intentions for Thea. Nathanos couldn't help but sneer inwardly - but did Simon know about Sia and the human King of Stormwind?

The last time Nathanos saw Sia was during the failed negotiations in Theramore. Later, the Celemore side confessed that spies from a third party had infiltrated the meeting with the intention of assassinating the leaders of the meeting, and claimed that the spies had been captured and executed. For this statement, because of Xia's identity as a forgotten person, the tribal chief Sal accepted Gianna's concealment of Xia's identity and no longer pursued the question of Xia's life and death. On the human side, Stormwind and Theramore seem to have no action to pursue because of the execution of Thea.

Although Nathanos felt that there was something strange in this, but Theramore was human territory after all, and after several spies confirmed that Shia was indeed not in Theramore, Nathanos really thought that Shia had been executed by the human side. Although he regretted Xia's death and even had a very unpleasant quarrel with the blood elf generals about it, but at this point, he could only ignore the matter.

It's just that he didn't expect that Xia didn't die and appeared in front of him again. So...... Why did the alliance quietly let Xia go so quietly? Nathanos had one more question in his mind.

But now is clearly not a good time for him to think. Although Nathanos's mind changed in an instant, in fact, it was only a matter of a moment. Coming in, Maxwell, the Supreme Commander of the Silver Dawn, stood up and greeted him. "General Nathanos, what's the matter?"

And Xia also stood up, glanced at Sanos with a complicated expression, and then lowered his eyes, but he didn't know. She also had no idea that the commander of the Undercity's reinforcements would be Nathanos.

"Your Excellency Commander Maxwell, I have received an urgent matter that needs to be rushed back to the Undercity. In the time I've been away, this Alex behind me. General Barov will temporarily handle the affairs of our army on my behalf. Therefore, I have come to inform you and take my leave. With that, Nathanos let Alex out behind him.

Maxwell nodded. "Okay, I made a note of it. General Alex? It's an honor to meet you. ”

After all, his superior, Nathanos, was still there, so in the face of Maxwell's greetings, Alex just shook Maxwell's hand politely with a smile, and then quietly remained silent and still stood behind Nathanos.

After introducing the two of them, Nathanos continued to smile and said, "Of course, although I know that it is presumptuous to say this, I still hope that Silver Dawn will not have any major operations to be dispatched to our army for the time being before I return. After all, it was the first time that General Alex had taken over such a large-scale joint military operation. Although I believe in his ability, after all, I am now the officially appointed commander of the Queen. If something goes wrong, it's still my responsibility, haha......"

Nathanos's words made Xia a little stunned, and the Nathanos she remembered never seemed to have said anything serious, let alone said something so blunt and almost slapped in the face. (To be continued)
