Looking at the old man who was talking eloquently and communicating with his daughter Bev, Facurrest couldn't help but curse the old fox in his heart.

As his vassal, Phacures was actually very wary of his loyal vassals. What he was doing, Farcures could see quite clearly. This is a thin old man who is very good at playing with power and doesn't want to die early.

In fact, he did send quite a few of his men to assassinate him, not only him, but almost every syndicate nobleman sent someone to kill him, but this cunning old man was spared every time. Because of this, he has become more patient than before.

At the beginning, these nobles of the kingdom of Alterac were accused of betraying the alliance and exiled to the Arathi Heights. Facurrest still complained about the king, and of course, this king was the old man in front, Lord Aiden Pernord.

He had never liked Aiden, and even though he was king at the time, he admitted that Aiden always had good ideas. During the Second Orc War, when he summoned them to work with the Horde, Farkurest admitted that it was a good idea. Because it would allow them to own most of the land, including the Hillsbrad Hills and the western shore of Loch Lordamere.

But when they failed and were banished, he indignantly denounced Aiden, who had deprived them of their property, and he believed that they should be punished less as accomplices, rather than being exiled to the wilderness and looking for a way to survive like the peasants.

Banished by the Alliance, the Alterac nobles who lost all their fiefs and possessions were furious. They accuse Aiden of stupidity and take the people they belong to and leave Aiden.

But as a vassal of Aiden, Facurrest did not choose to take the opportunity to break away from him, and he buried all his anger deep in his heart. And not just because Aiden promised to take him to a new way out. As Aiden's only remaining vassal, Farcures chose forbearance.

Soon, however, the nobles who had broken away from them reunited around Aiden. Because in the alliance at that time, only a minority sympathized with them, and many more were only interested in their territory! Like stray wild dogs, they run into walls on the continent of Lordaeron. They were so large that they were more refugees than ordinary exiles, and most of the farms could not accommodate them.

In the midst of this, they also found the few remaining orc tribes in Lordaeron and wanted their help. But none of these orcs wanted anything to do with them, and refused to provide them with shelter.

In desperation, they returned to square one, around Aiden. They believe that his wrong decision has changed them from a high nobility to what they are today, and Aiden is responsible for them! And Aiden also realized that his opportunity had come again, and he subconsciously realized that if he wanted to get his land back, he needed his own bonding!

So under Aiden's leadership, they set out to form an organization to do something to reclaim their land.

And so the syndicate came out.

But at this time, there is also a big problem in front of Aiden, the Alterac nobles, who are composed of nobles who have fiefs, farmland, and allegiance to their vassals and people. Due to Aiden's wrong decision, the kingdom of Alterac was punishably scraped by the alliance; All the people were scattered to the south of Lordaeron, and the land was either abandoned or occupied by some nobles because of their exploits.

Although Aiden Pernord was once the king of the kingdom of Alterac, he has undoubtedly lost control of the group.

No one would believe in such a king.

But at this time, Facurrest, who is still loyal to Aiden, is very important. He was once the Duke of the Kingdom of Alterac and one of Aiden's vassals loyal to Aiden. He wasn't out of Aiden's hands. This made them the most powerful of the old nobles of the Alterac Kingdom. Of course, it's the Syndicate Garry's strongest... In fact, most of the syndicates had no choice, they were part of these exiled noble families, either family members or servants, or vassals, who were forced to be exiled along with the high lords.

Aiden and Facurrest were undoubtedly the greatest in the syndicate at that time, and although they did not believe in Aiden's decision, they had to choose to believe in him again in such a harsh and severe situation that everyone in the syndicate was facing.

So, the syndicates began their way of survival.

As once decent aristocrats, they left behind the lavish lives of the past and began their own ...'lives' in the Arathi Heights and the Hillsbrad Hills.

Squires, servants, grooms, and pampered aristocratic children, after an initial few weeks of complaining, almost all of them went to work. They clumsily stretched out their hands to their former subjects and the Lordarens, and at first, it was not uncommon for them to be caught and beaten on the head and bleeding, and some even had their fingers and palms chopped off. It wasn't until they completely abandoned their dignity and gradually developed flexible hands in a harsh living environment that life slowly got better.

Of course, this cultivation also cultivates their aggressive character and the habit of revenge. After they gained power, many of the minor nobles and commoners who had captured their members were retaliated against. Many were dragged out of their homes and hung from trees in front of their homes, with signs saying that this was the fate of the Syndicate, etc.

In the southern part of the continent of Lordaeron, they are active everywhere. It doesn't matter if it's a nobleman or a low-ranking farmer, they steal everyone. But at the same time, they continue to claim that their actions are justified, that those who are supposed to be in service of them.

Gradually, they amassed enough wealth to set up camp at the foot of the hill far from the town, forming groups that were used in the city for camouflage.

Soon this organized theft expanded, and it attracted the attention of many bandits and thieves. They find the Syndicate to be a powerful organization, much more stable than their small group, despite their conflicts. Compared to the robbers' superficial plans to rob the refugees fleeing from Lordaeron, the Syndicate's territorial seizure was something the bandits and thieves had never dreamed of, so they eagerly joined in.

The Syndicate accepted their oath of allegiance, so that more powerful warriors and thieves brought their skills to the Syndicate. However, to Facurrest's admiration, Aiden wisely disrupted these bandit groups into various noble families, assigning them the allegiance of new masters, so that there would be no opposition from the Syndicate. This method worked well, and most of the bandits and robbers chose to obey for the sake of a good monetary return.

The Syndicate continued to develop in the shadows for a few years, until Aiden's keen discovery was ripe.

The demons of the Burning Legion destroyed Dalaran, and then the Scourge invaded Lordaeron and destroyed the capital of Lordaeron! Taking advantage of the Alliance's heavy losses, Aiden mobilizes all the nobles to march towards their former territory, Alterac!

His presence caused panic and confusion among the Alteracs, who had once been ruled by him, and they had little resistance. As a result, the Syndicate recaptured almost all of the Alterac Mountains and began to fight against the ogres and scattered undead who had taken over part of their territory.

So far, Aiden's long-term planning has also paid off satisfactorily. Facurest's forbearance has paid off, and everything they have lost is back! Of course, if the spirits of Lordaeron don't come out, that would be the case.

It's just that it didn't take long for some highly organized undead to appear in their land, and when Aiden wanted to make the nobles gather to meet the enemy as they did in the past, no one responded to him....

As mentioned above, they were a group of nobles who had fiefs, farmlands, and allegiance to their vassals and people. When they need to pull together, it's a question of who will be in charge.

Because everybody wants to be in power ....

When the Alterac Mountains were recaptured, almost all of the nobles returned to their rightful homes. Served by a free people made up of bandits, they have returned to the old problems of the syndicate model.

Almost every nobleman declared autonomy ... and believe that there is no need to respond to each other ....

Before the undead of the ruins of Lordaeron attacked the Alterac Mountains, Aiden offered to attack the Alliance further while it was weak, and almost no one responded to him. Only his vassal, Fakurest, responded.

As a result, the attack of the Forsaken under Sylvanas in the early stage was met with little resistance.

Here, Facurrest also has his own ideas! He seized the opportunity of Aiden's proposed offensive alliance to establish a syndicate branch in Stormgard. Expand his minions by constantly recruiting bandits, robbers, and other notorious people. So much so that now his nominal master is completely unable to control him.

He also knew that it would take a slow, systematic operation before splitting, but he didn't expect the Arathi Heights under the control of the Tolbaine family to be so weak!!

Now let him lose his achievements in the Arathi Heights, he is really not reconciled!

On the other side, the nobles in the Alterac Mountains were drowned one by one by the torrent representing the black of the undead under the continuous blows of the undead that appeared in the ruins of Lordaeron.

When Aiden gathered the nobles who had been woken up by Sylvanas, they were shocked to find that these undead had almost taken over more than half of the mountains!

However, because of the loose structure of the syndicate, Aiden was deeply aware that they could not defeat the army of the dead on the other side.

To this end, Aiden sent someone to ask for the help of his neighbor, Harvey, the newly rising High Lord of Lordaeron. Although Harvey agreed to provide food help, he did not provide substantial military help. Knowing that the Syndicate controlled most of the major areas of the southern Lordaeron region, food and money were not urgently needed for them.

What they need is a backer who can stand behind them!

So, what happened next was that the Syndicate invaded the Hillsbrad Hills....
