Chapter 271: Bribery

Vanessa's tone changed to friendly, "Your problem is that you lack confidence in the kings of the human kingdom, and the kings of humanity don't trust the Assassin League as an organization that is independent of their control, right?" ”

This question has been studied by many generations of Assassin League leaders, and Duke Ravenhold is well aware of the sticking point, and he nods very slightly.

Vanessa looked sorry: "So Your Excellency Duke, what you are doing now is incomprehensible, on the one hand, you are firmly guarding the duke title that Alterac gave you, and on the other hand, you want the Assassin Alliance to maintain its independence. ”

She pointed at herself, and then pointed at the other party: "I have the inheritance of Alterac, Alterac and Lordaeron have a common monarch, you are the Duke appointed by Alterac, we are naturally friends, you use the deterrence and resources of the Assassin Alliance to obtain the Duke title, what will those thieves under your command think?" Can they smile and watch your descendants occupy this ducal title, and will they also have the virtues of humility, honesty, mercy and valor? ”

The thieves certainly don't have these virtues, and in fact, there are very few paladins who can fully achieve them, Duke Ravenhold looked her in the eye.

There are more talents recruited, and now Vanessa is no longer like the original recruitment of Old Ferdin, who is brewing emotions and moving the heavens and the earth, I recruited you to give you face!

"Actually, we can cooperate, the previous things are written off, I pay, and you do some tasks for me. If you have a more urgent need, I can even give you a piece of land so that the Ravenhold family can settle in Lordaeron, so that your children and grandchildren can build castles, own their own estates, and put on their own family crests, and become true nobles, not the poor family of the former leaders of the Assassin League......"

Ming Huanghuang is to buy, her rhetoric can be said to have no technical content, but I have to say that people in this era eat this set.

The old man was determined and dedicated to the Assassin League, but he still had weaknesses, and his descendants were weaknesses.

"The asking price for the League of Assassins is high." He had to find himself a staircase to make himself appear less humble.

Vanessa smiled, "Lordaeron has enough money to hire you. ”

Duke Ravenhold was no longer as confident as he had been at the beginning, and he asked tentatively, "What do you need us to do?" Assassinate Sylvanas? ”

She shook her head in refusal, "I think it's difficult for the Assassins to assassinate Sylvanas, that can be discussed later." I know there are Forsaken thieves working under you, and I don't need you to assassinate Sylvanas, you just need to report her whereabouts to me. ”

The place where Sylvanas is is the route of her army, this information is invaluable, and she herself has sent human thieves to investigate, but it is not as convenient as the identity of the Forsaken.

Duke Ravenhold didn't expect a military operation for a while, and he didn't expect Vanessa to ambush Sylvanas, his thinking was still in the stage of assassination and assassination, he was a thief, not a general, and he didn't need to study any strategy and tactics, and he had great thinking limitations.

After thinking about it, I immediately felt that this matter was not difficult.

But then I felt that I had thought simply, and I definitely didn't see through the other party's true intentions.

"What the hell do you mean, what do you want to do?" If he doesn't ask clearly, he will definitely not agree rashly, and there is a vague meaning of talking about conditions.

Vanessa took out a map and motioned for the old man to look closely.

"Alterac is barren and full of bandits, and you don't want your children and grandchildren to deal with a bunch of thieves every day, do you?"

How fresh! Duke Ravenhold had reached the pinnacle of his profession, and he knew too well the virtues of thieves.

Vanessa drew a circle on the lower right of Alterac, near the Stormgard Kingdom: "This is Dunhold Castle, and the surrounding land belongs to Lordaeron, as the regent of Lordaeron, I can seal the Ravenhold family here, get rid of the syndicate thieves in the castle, you can put your own family crest here, and I will also give you the number of the Eighth Legion, and you will recruit no more than 8,000 soldiers by yourself." ”

It was also a reluctant move for her, as Dunhold was located on the border between Lordaeron and the kingdoms of Stormgard, too far from her core dominion. The kingdom of Stormgard has an unknown dutiful son named Garin. Thorbane, who also killed his own dad and became an undead.

There are undead spirits, humans, orcs and ogres in the Arathi Heights, the situation is extremely chaotic, and the products are not rich, so it can be said that the value is not great, for the sake of territorial stability, Vanessa simply sealed the land and finished the matter.

Duke Ravenhold, who brought his own dry food, can defend the frontier for her, if she can hold it, the land is his, if she can't keep it, Vanessa can still find the next wronged leader, and she has no loss anyway.

"You...... Are you serious? "Such a large land, it is useless to fight for the kingdom for two or three generations in peacetime, and Duke Ravenhold feels that the pie is a bit big, and he is afraid that he will be strung to death.

But I have to say, very tempting.

The headquarters of their League of Assassins was not far from Dunhold Castle, and he was well aware of the problems there.

"What if I can't hold this Dunhold Castle?" He asked.

Vanessa spread her hands and said that she couldn't help it, and whether she could keep it was all your own business.

Duke Ravenhold is entangled, if he is an empty duke, he will definitely not be able to hold this land, and the legendary thief will not be able to play.

But if you mobilize the resources of the Assassin Alliance, it seems that you can use the resources of the organization for your own benefit, and this thing seems to be possible? He quickly measured it in his mind.

Vanessa didn't say a word, took out her quill, and wrote a carefully worded fief certificate, legally transforming the Duke of Ravenhold, the empty duke of Alterac, into the actual duke of Lordaeron, and the fief was Dunhold Castle.

The syndicate thieves in the castle, and the subsequent repair of the castle and the organization of the lords to reclaim the land, these things need to be solved by himself, which is also the practice of the feudal lords, and the king does not have to take care of it.

Later, he wrote a letter of appointment for the commander of the Eighth Legion of Lordaeron, and the name of the legion commander was left blank, and anyone could fill it in, and as for the soldiers, it was very simple, whether you trained your thieves to become soldiers, or pulled people from the kingdom of Stormgard next door.

Snap twice, put on your own seal, and the matter is settled.

Vanessa put the two papers on the table, then pulled out the ceremonial sword from the wall, and then asked Duke Ravenhold with her eyes, old man, have you thought about it?
