"Actually, I don't recommend wasting your time here. ¤," Madias shook his head, turned and went back to the tent, where the middle-aged man followed.

Three candles were lit inside the tent, illuminating the small space, and Madias turned his back to the tent curtain and looked at a military map hanging from a tarpaulin. Beside him stood a bald man, who turned out to be Jamil Singh, and in the corner stood a man dressed in black, with his head and face wrapped in a black mask, always with his eyes closed and silent, like a dead man.

"This is the full map of Alterac, military grade, and the only one left is with me." The middle-aged man approached and introduced.

Matthias nodded, with a compassionate attitude, and sighed: "The current chaos in Alterac must end as soon as possible, the people have no security, and life is too hard."

The black-robed man smiled bitterly, "I'm afraid this is very difficult to do, the other human kingdoms don't dare to accept it themselves, and they don't want to let the remnants here determine themselves, they just want to let this place maintain the status quo and wait for the right time to annex it." ”

"Lord Facurrest." Madias looked away from the military map, looked at the black-robed man and smiled: "Annexed? Self-determination? None of this is the most appropriate thing to do, and our Royal Highness the Lord Regent believes that as the highest nobleman in existence in Alterac, this reign is well deserved. ”

This black-robed man is the leader of the Syndicate, the former Duke of Alterac - Facurrest Thurborn. Hearing Madias's words, he was first surprised, then happy, and finally disappointed.

"The other kingdoms won't agree, and I'm afraid the remnants of Alterac will refuse to obey." Facurrest said gloomily that as a local native, he was well aware of the local people's temperament, although these people were not united, but they were unruly, and they had been doing evil here for many years, and they had no mass base at all.

"Other kingdoms?" Madias scoffed, "After this battle, will there be a human kingdom in the north?" All you need to do is hold back the inhabitants of Alterac, and when the time comes, my king will allow you to establish the Grand Duchy of Alterac. ”

Facurrest was overjoyed when he heard this, he never imagined that Stormwind would allow him to build a state! This was the ultimate goal of the Syndicate, he had never thought of such a thing as establishing a kingdom, and the principality was a great gift!

"King Xiewu!" Facurrest immediately faced the south and knelt down on one knee and made a royal salute.

Madias nodded with a smile and said, "I have already explained the matter here, I will leave it to you, Your Excellency, the rest of the matter is up to you."

With that, Madias glanced back at Jameel and walked straight out of the tent. Jameel stooped down and stood beside the black-clad masked man, not moving.

Facurrest chased out of the tent, and Madias was nowhere to be seen in the night, but he still bowed to his chest, shouted "Greetings to the virgin", and bent deeply. And he held this position for a long time, until a man came to him.

"Lord Duke? What are you? Questioning came from the side, and Facurrest looked up.

One of his two deputies, the thief Safi, is also his most trusted aide, and the other is the warrior Toth, who is commanding at the front of the line.

"Safi, I'm afraid we can't stay here for long, tomorrow night, we will launch a general attack on the mountain, and we must take it in one fell swoop!" Facures said in a deliberate manner.

Safi was stunned when he heard this, "This ...... I'm afraid it's not easy to do, why do we ......"

"There's no time, Safi." Facurrest said, his face full of unconcealed greed, so much so that his face was slightly distorted. "We're going to get rid of these damn Thunderspear dwarves as soon as possible, and then sweep through the whole of Alterac! Be sure to have complete control of the mountains before Stormwind launches a general assault on Arahi. ”

Hearing the name "Stormwind City", Safi was startled and seemed to understand something.

Facurrest nodded, casting a meaningful look.

"Yes, my lord, I'll arrange it." Safi smiled and saluted, took two steps back and turned to leave, without any extra words.

Watching the cronie leave, Facurrest let out a long breath and smiled. Where to find such a desirable subordinate? In the future, when you soar, you must bring him with you, don't you ...... And his charming wife......

The more he thought about it, the more he tasted it, Facurrest smiled and slipped back into the tent, and not far away, Safi watched his leader enter the tent, turned around and walked to the front, thinking in his heart.

He was a very shrewd man, and he was able to guess the truth from just a few words from Facurest. He could imagine that after the deed was accomplished, he would inevitably be promoted, oh...... It also includes his own wife, but is that enough?

Not...... Or don't overthink it just yet.

After weighing all the way, Safi walked to the foot of the mountain, where the two sides had established defensive lines 200 meters apart, confronted each other, and did not make any major moves for the time being.

After building a fortification of logs and earth and stone, Safi found his good friend, the third-order warrior Albert. Unlike Safi, Albert is a typical warrior with a tough style and a fiery temper, of course, this does not mean that he is simple-minded, on the contrary, he is quite shrewd in terms of military affairs alone.

When Safi saw Albert, he was drinking and beating his men by the way.

Albert often said things like this: Men should drink, those who don't drink must be, and if they drink, they must beat people, otherwise, isn't that a waste of alcohol?!

So he drank every day, especially at night, and when he drank, he would beat people, and if there was no enemy to fight him, he would fight the mountain people, and now there was neither, so he had to beat his subordinates......

"Whew! Oh! Whew......"

Listening to the exaggerated howls, Safi shook his head with a smile and walked over.

Albert's lieutenant was being beaten up, curled up in a ball and rolling on the ground, Albert was shirtless, revealing his muscular body, holding a flask in his left hand and a horsewhip in his right hand, and was whipping hard.

"My lord, please spare me...... Oh! The adjutant begged for mercy and was whipped with a heavy whip.

Of course, the beating was not for the sake of feeling, but it was just to hear people beg for mercy, and the adjutant's plea stimulated Albert's face with excitement, and he beat even harder. The adjutant knows this very well, but if he doesn't take some fierce medicine, the chief can't enjoy it, and it's not a problem to keep fighting like this...... So he had to half-truths and beg for mercy loudly.

Sure enough, it was the adjutant who understood the chief, and his pleas had an immediate effect.

Albert's face became redder and redder, his eyes were glowing green, his breathing became more and more rapid, and finally after a desperate beating, he gasped and threw the horsewhip in his hand, and finally had a good time......

"Next time I do this, I'll just beat you to death!" Albert pointed at the huddled adjutant and yelled viciously. "Why don't you go and report the news to the Duke!"

"Yes...... My lord. The adjutant struggled to his feet, nodded his head, and "hum chirp" turned around and ran, almost crashing headfirst into Safi's arms. Fortunately, he was quite agile, and he stiffly twisted his waist and flashed over.

Safi smiled and waved his hand, signaling that he didn't need to be nervous, and the adjutant bowed and left. The lieutenant, Safi, recognized what it seemed to be called...... Sauron, anyway, is a small man, and he is the most beaten.

"Hey, Safi, my brother, come and have a drink with me." Far away, Albert shouted with a red face. Safi was a very well-behaved man, and it was impossible for him to drink on the battlefield, which Albert knew better than anyone else, but he still teased him with this every time.

"Throw away your flask." Safi didn't think anything about this, and said with a smile: "Your Excellency just gave the order, we have to prepare for a strong attack."

Hearing this, Albert smiled on his face and his expression became solemn, "It's not a good time to launch a strong attack now, why don't you wait a few more days?" ”

"Albert, the opportunity we've been waiting for has finally arrived!" Safi smiled, lowered his head and was about to speak, when he suddenly noticed a falcon phantom flying high in the sky, he quickly stopped his mouth and beckoned Albert to come with him.

Albert looked puzzled, shook his head and followed. (To be continued.) )
