Alterac City, a city that had long since been reduced to ruins in its previous life, looked at it for the first time after climbing the snowy mountain!

It is not a bustling city because it is built on a high mountain...... The scale is far worse than Lordaeron City and Stormwind City, not to mention Silvermoon City or Dalaran!

Most of the buildings in the city are relatively low, in order to protect against blizzards; The residents on the streets are even more sparsely populated, and the weather is relatively cold, and few people want to go out.

About fifty of the former Aurelia's rangers followed behind Carlin; The rest of the rangers, led by Aurelia, went on his secret mission.

When the guards of the city were informed that they were the emissaries of the Alliance......

Soon, they were received by a tall, middle-aged man wearing a thick cotton coat and an orange robe.

"Welcome to Alterac!" The middle-aged man said in a deep voice, "I am Merrick Haas, a lieutenant general in the army of the Alterac Kingdom. ”

"Hello, General Haas!" Karin said kindly, "I am the emissary of Marshal Anduin Lothar, the mage Karin Sunfury from Dalaran, and I have been ordered to come here to assist you in defending against the attacks of the Horde. ”

As he spoke, Carlin took off his padded jacket, revealing his blue mage robes.

When he realized that he was facing a six-ringed archmage, General Haas's expression changed slightly.

"On behalf of King Pirenods, thank you for coming!" He lowered his head and said softly, "Then please come with me and go to see Your Majesty!" ”

"Okay." Carlin nodded, gesturing to his companions behind him, "They're all rangers from Quel'Thalas, and they're here for the same purpose as me!" ”

General Haas waved his hand and motioned for a few people to receive the more than fifty rangers.

……

Following in the footsteps of the Alterac lieutenant general, Carlin arrives at the palace.

This royal palace is slightly more dilapidated than the ones I've seen before...... After all, Alterac is the weakest country of the seven countries of the alliance, and it is also the poorest country.

But the specifications or something, there should be a lot.

General Haas should have a high status in the kingdom, and after a few words of notification from the palace guards, he walked directly into the palace with Karin.

King Eden-Pirenoud sat on the throne, his face still proud.

"What's the matter, Haas!" He asked.

"Messenger of the Alliance, Your Majesty!" General Haas stooped down and reported, "Your Excellency Karin, a wizard from Dalaran. ”

Carlin took the opportunity to glance around, and behind King Pirenod stood a blue-robed mage, who was supposed to be his court mage; At the bottom sat two young men who looked like princes; The rest of the courtiers, in all directions, all kinds of courtiers, seem to be nobles.

"The messenger of Lothar!" King Pirenod frowned and asked in a loud voice, "I don't know what you are doing?" ”

"Lord Lothar has asked me to come here to assist Alterac in defending against the Horde's attack." Carlin said calmly.

"Lothar takes care of his own affairs first, and then interferes in Alterac's defenses!" A mocking smile appeared on Pirinord's lips: "Fadil Bay, Saldos Bridge, and Valley of Refuge, he has already lost three battles with the Horde!" ”

Lothar defeated in the Arathi Heights?

Karin's expression couldn't help but become solemn, he had been on the road for nearly a month, so he didn't know the situation on the front line...... Although it had long been known that the alliance would suffer a lot in the early stages of the war; But when he heard the news of the defeat in three consecutive battles, he couldn't help but sweat for Lothar.

"Perhaps my dear old friend Solas Tolbairn should regret letting his master's bloodline lead the army of Riptide Castle!" Pirenold's voice was a little sharp, and at the same time seemed a little gloating.

"Your Majesty!" General Haas, who was beside Carlin, couldn't help frowning: "I think the defeat of Field Marshal Anduin-Lothar in the Arathi Heights is also unfortunate news for us......"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Still unable to hide the smile on his face, Pirenod continued: "Now, then, the Courier...... Shouldn't you lead your men eastward to help poor Lothar and prevent him from losing the fourth game......"

The king's voice came to an abrupt end!

Karin pulled out Etiyèsz, held it like a normal cane, and walked forward.

No magic was used, but spiritual power was radiated without reservation.

"Your Majesty Pirinod!" He said lightly, "The mission given to me by Lord Lothar is to assist in the defense of Alterac; I don't think I can leave your kingdom until his next order is given! ”

The king's face turned a little pale under the pressure of this powerful spiritual force.

The blue-robed mage behind him took a few steps forward and looked at Carlin with a solemn expression.

"The All-Seeing Eye." Carlin asked softly in his heart, "Judge my chance of victory if I engage the other party?" ”

After returning north from Stormwind before, whether in Dalaran or Lordaeron, he was often accompanied by high-level wizards who were stronger than him...... Fearing that the existence of the All-Seeing Eye would be discovered, he ordered it to be hidden.

But when you get to Alterac, I'm afraid it doesn't have to be.

"Understood, host!" The voice of the All-Seeing Eye sounded in Carlin's mind: "If the host immediately starts a duel with this mage, the chance of winning is 87.45%; If the host chooses to assassinate the king, the success rate is 21.23%; If the host chooses to assassinate the king, the chance of surviving within an hour is 5.88%! ”

Carlin nodded slightly in his heart...... It seems that although the strength of this court mage is the same as his own, it is far inferior to himself; However, after all, Alterac is one of the seven countries of the alliance, and he still has a certain background, and his own strength cannot go sideways here.

Of course, he had never thought of such a stupid idea as assassinating the king......

He took two steps back, dissipating his mental power.

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty; As a mage, my mental power just now seems to be a little out of control! He bent down slightly and said with a smile.

The court mage bent down and whispered a few words to the king.

King Pirenod, the paleness and panic on his face at this time have also eased a little, and looking at Carlin's eyes, there is no contempt before.

"It's okay, Mr. Carlin!" His tone softened a little: "It's an honor for Alterac to have the help of a powerful mage like you...... Let Haas take you to learn about the defense of Alterac! ”

Carlin just smiled and nodded, and left the palace after General Haas again.
