Chapter 290: Tick-tock
It's the best of times.
These are the worst of times.
This is my time.
After all the calculations and plans, Carlos finally cleared out the opponents who dared to oppose it.
The Alterac Mountains are very large, but the territory of the Alterac Kingdom is very small, and it is impossible for the Alterac Kingdom to truly integrate into the alliance without stepping out of the shelter of the mountains and the mysterious sense of security brought by the plateau.
And then dominate the Union.
Rebellion? Rebel?
Carlos never cared.
When Carlos reached a temporary political alliance with Terenus, the first thing Carlos's father-in-law betrayed was the part of the people he had instigated within Alterac.
And Danas. A secret letter from Berton reminds his close friend that some people in the family are plotting against him.
As for the disputes caused by the land of the garrison Hillbride, don't make trouble, disputes over money will naturally be resolved with money.
A small number of guys in China who can't see the situation clearly and can't see through the truth after the fog are sold by what they think are their backers.
What Carlos did was nothing more than a pre-set for moving the capital to himself.
The current Alterac doesn't even have a decent city other than Alterac City.
Steinbled is nothing more than a large bazaar, and it doesn't even have walls.
Although the Keeldaron Lake Fort is easy to defend and difficult to attack, the location of Keeldaron County itself is not suitable as the core of the kingdom.
Talenmere is an agricultural region, with many estates and not many others.
It looks like Alterac City.
But Carlos knew that Alterac City was as strong as a walnut shell.
Without himself, Alterac City would have been breached from the sea by Silvermoon City's elven fleet.
In the face of the High Elf archmages and the magical cannons of the fleet, the walls of humanity do not protect humanity.
From Lake Lordanmere to the seaside of Alterante, the High Elves fired for three days. The burned-down elves took their anger out on the inhabitants of Alterac City. There was no declaration of war, no early warning of shelling, and no attempt to send envoys, whose purpose was simply to destroy the city of Alterac and punish the kingdom of Alterac, and by the way to show off their strength. Prove that Quel'Salas is strong.
When the only advantage of [indestructible] no longer exists, how dare Carlos live in the "dead city" of Alterac City with peace of mind.
After several purges, the opponents have died and scattered, and Carlos has become a co-spokesperson for interest groups within the kingdom of Alterac.
However, this is not enough, when it comes to major matters such as new cities and relocation of capitals, it is often their own people who pull the strings and drag their feet.
The more stable the royal power, the deeper the interests involved, and if there is an internal consultation, his supporters will shout long live. Then find out the reasons and excuses for 10,000 years to prevaricate. By the time I'm forty years old, maybe I'll be able to break ground on the new city.
However, Carlos couldn't wait.
10,000 years is too long.
After the Orc War, whether it is the restoration of the Stormwind Kingdom or the construction of the Watch Fortress, it is a major project that must be carried out, and even the Great Expedition through the Dark Gate is not a major event that Alterac can stay out of.
Having taken in so many war displaced people in the war is a burden, but also a wealth.
Alterac has never been weaker at the moment.
Alterac has never been stronger at this time.
More than 400,000 people are attached to Carlos. Hope for a better life.
Well, if Carlos wants to gain the power of these 400,000 people. Their wishes must be met.
At least draw a pie to satisfy their wishes.
As a result, Carlos even forced some of his own supporters back.
In a dazzling and pungent blood, Carlos used a coercive posture to force through a decree that had never been mentioned before.
Even his own father, Alex. Barov was also shocked.
It turns out that the king is not a martial artist, he is a tyrant!
And just like that, in the bloody wedding banquet hall, on that night of arson that was vainly resistant. Carlos used an arrogant and domineering posture to tell his subordinates a truth -- power is even truth.
A few days later, Carlos erected two more temples outside of Alterac.
This time it was the head of the rebels who used.
"Father, why did you cancel the marriage, you made me a laughing stock for everyone."
Arya's eyes were red, and she yelled at her father with great dissatisfaction.
In order to corrode the interior of the Barov family. How much effort was expended. Seeing that something was about to happen, his father signaled that he would kill the dead man who was originally going to assassinate the Grand Duke Regent.
Then, all the guys who were supposed to be companions were put to death.
After a brief period of confusion, Arya's not-so-stupid mind quickly understood--betrayal.
His own father betrayed and betrayed the conspirators.
"Because you are my daughter, I may take advantage of you, but I will not send you to death."
Ned, though devastated, did not appear decadent.
"What do you mean?"
"Where do you think those lonely heads outside the gates came from?"
Ned asked rhetorically.
"Rebels and ......"
Galia had seen that there were no women or children among those heads, and she felt that there was no point in discrediting the king in front of her father.
"My killer weapon has never been a rabble of thieves with a heart and no guts. Rather, it was the Guardians of the Royal City. When Aiden wanted to abolish your sister's position as queen, I was secretly infiltrating the royal city guards. The army that Alex sent out to exterminate the non-existent rebel Wranglers actually came around in a circle and lurked near Alterac. ”
Ned spoke as if he were telling his grandson a bedtime story.
"Wait, isn't it?"
"So when your sister brought me the news that she had saved the whole family, I had already given in. The Barovs won. ”
"Father, please make it clear!"
"We all underestimated Carlos, even our wise and virtuous Grand Duke Regent underestimated his son. Except for your sister, except for your sister, who was the queen of the queen, no one noticed that all of this was under the king's control. ”
"Father, this ...... Please be clear. ”
Arya didn't dare to use her own brain to think about the problem, or was afraid to think it through.
"The lives of our whole family were begged for by your sister's kindness. Now, what the king owes your sister has been paid off. It's no longer appropriate to send you to the Barov family. ”
Ned smiled helplessly.
"What kind of kindness, and what does it have to do with my sister."
Although she had an ignorant conjecture in her heart, Arya instinctively refused to continue thinking about it.
"Not bad, at least Hillbride's land is much richer than Gavin Heights."
Ned smiled meaninglessly, then waved his hand, ending the conversation with his youngest daughter.
And the confused Arya was full of anguish and had nowhere to vent, so she had to secretly go to her sister's residence.
After the bloody night of the wedding feast, the guards of the royal palace were replaced by those who could not wash off the smell of blood by the king's side. But in a place like the palace, there are always countless secret passages, and Arya managed to bypass all the guards and reach her sister's living room.
"yes, I was scolded for being bloody. But my father forgave me. ”
It's the voice of King Carlos!
Through the shadow wall, Arya overhears the conversation.
"Your Majesty, why are you so impatient, there is obviously a better solution."
It's the voice of my sister Sasha.
"No, no, there is such a thing as timing, and if you miss it, you will be punished."
"Maybe, but the after-effects are serious."
Carlos and Sasha didn't talk very loudly, and Arya could only hear it with her ears on the wall.
Moreover, his sister Sasha's voice seemed to be very depressed, mixed with moans of "um" and "ah", and a rapid "pop" sound was faintly heard.
After a while, Arya was so ashamed that she was angry.
That's how my sister intercedes for the family!
Arya possessed all the qualities of an Assassin, including the calmer she was when she was angry.
Little by little, remove the partition, draw the dagger, use the shield of the screen, sneak into the room, and then launch a blow as fast as the wind!
"What the hell?"
Arya's blade was caught between Carlos' four fingers.
What the hell!
Aliyah was also stupid.
Sasha and Carlos sat casually on the soft couch, Sasha turned her back to Carlos, and Carlos folded her hands together, gathered her ring finger and little finger, and used this hand shape to beat Sasha's back, making a "pop" sound.
Feeling that it was not reliable to hold the blade between his fingers, Carlos took Arya's wrist with a separate hand and looked at Sasha suspiciously.
"My stupid sister, how do you want me to explain all this to Your Majesty."
Sasha pinched the bridge of her nose with her hand in distress.
The warmth of the night, which had been brewing, was completely destroyed. (To be continued.) )
