In the original history of Warcraft, there may never be a city as legendary as Lordaeron, whose fate is as ill-fated as Alsace.

During the Second Orc War, the city served as a bridgehead against Orgrim's forces, relying on its impregnable walls, and the Alliance forces withstood the fierce onslaught of the Orc forces again and again.

In the time of the Catastrophe, if it weren't for the fallen prince Arthas, who was bewitched by Neozu, killed his father Terenus with his own hands, and tore a hole in the city's interior, perhaps the city would not have been easily captured.

As time passed, when Sylvanas led a group of undead to occupy Lordaeron, he renamed this majestic city "Undercity", and relied on the dangerous geographical environment to build a huge empire of the Forsaken to fight against the undead plague led by Arthas.

It can be said that Lordaeron is a witness to countless legendary histories, and it is a legend within a legend in itself.

And when Xue Huan, a butterfly that influenced the course of history, inadvertently broke into Azeroth and took the magic sword that symbolized evil for himself, the original history changed dramatically.

In order to prevent this calamity from befalling this sacred land again, the old king issued more than a dozen conscription letters within a year, and a large number of young men poured into the barracks, doubling the number of soldiers stationed in Lordaeron, Hull Fortress, and the surrounding towns to a terrifying 60,000 men.

You must know that after the Second Orc War, the total population of the entire Lordaeron was only 700,000, which means that about one in ten ordinary people will be forcibly conscripted into the army.

With so many troops heavily guarded, the city became a fortress of steel, as strong as Lordaeron in history.

But Xue Huan, who didn't know the history of Warcraft, inadvertently chose the same way as Alsace to conquer the city.

Before leaving Northrend, the Lich King used the Nasrezm Crystal left over from the Frost Sorrow of the Demon Sword to forge a metal ring called the "Demon Suppression Ring" for Xue Huan, which can hide the bearer's death breath, so that Xue Huan can walk in the world of the living without being detected by the Holy Light.

But that's not enough...

In order to improve this plan and ensure that nothing goes wrong, Kel'thugad, who is far away in the psychic academy, also contributes his own strength.

Using his necromancy and long-term research in apothecary, the Great Lich invented a potion that can transform a person's appearance in a short period of time, which can completely change a person's voice and appearance, and with the Ring of Demon Suppression, the human lord "Odrica" was born.

As for the real Lord Odirika, before Xue Huan arrived at the Psychic Academy, he had been brought together by Kelsuga to the Scourge, in order to get all the memories of Lord Odirika's life, even that guy's dark transformation ceremony was presided over by Xue Huan himself.

But this plan, which seems to be close to perfection, has two fatal flaws.

One is that the potion developed by Kel'thugad does not last too long, and as time passes, Xue Huan's true appearance will gradually appear, so for him, time is precious, and he must bewitch and corrupt the upper nobles of Lordaeron within a month.

On the other hand, although the Demon Suppression Ring forged with the Nasrezm Crystal could temporarily hide Xue Huan's death aura, the only drawback of this ring was that it could only rely on the spiritual power of the bearer.

In other words, if the enemy's spiritual power is far greater than the carrier itself, then the ring will lose its original effectiveness, and Xue Huan's identity will be exposed, which is undoubtedly very dangerous.

If it weren't for the intelligence spied on by the dark mages lurking in Lordaeron, Uther, Tirio Ferdin, and the others did not stay in Lordaeron, Xue Huan would not have taken such an extreme tightrope approach to achieve his goal, after all, with his current strength, there was no chance of winning in the face of these paladin-level figures.

But as the saying goes, there are risks and benefits...

And judging from the current situation, Xue Huan was right - at least until now, there has not been any figure in the royal capital of Lordaeron who can see through his disguise.

As long as you are careful and take every step of the way, then the plan to split Lordaeron can be easily realized.

But until then, hiding his identity is still a top priority, and his status as a nobleman is more conducive to his actions, and it is more conducive to deceiving the trust of Terenus and Arthas, and getting close to the upper rulers of Lordaeron.

The gentle moonlight sprinkled the streets of the imperial capital, casting a beautiful halo over the silent Lordaeron.

Bathed in the night, Xue Huan, surrounded by two subordinates, slowly came to the gate of the palace.

Looking up at this familiar gilded gate, Rao is Xue Huan, who has gradually lost his human emotions, and he can't help but have a trace of bitter memories in his heart.

This is the beginning of his suffering, and he will put an end to it with his own hands...

The royal soldier of Lordaeron on duty at the gate of the palace looked at the man in front of him with strange eyes, but before this, the old king had already had a special order, so Chief Rick quickly appeared in front of Xue Huan and the others.

Since it was a private banquet held by Terenus, it was not chosen to be in the state banquet hall, but moved the banquet to the inner sanctum.

It is about a five-minute walk from the palace gate to the inner hall, and along the way, the boss kept explaining to Xue Huan the customs of Lordanlun, as well as all kinds of interesting market anecdotes, and simply made the words "hospitality" to the extreme, if it weren't for Xue Huan's revenge mentality, maybe he was really "moved" by this amiable old man.

Led by the well-haired old steward, the group walked through the royal gardens to the inner sanctum, where Terenus usually rested and conducted state affairs.

Under normal circumstances, no one, including the Grand General Abydis, was allowed to enter without the permission of the old king.

And Terenus, who met for the first time, set the banquet in the inner hall, which is enough to see the importance he attaches to Xue Huan.

But Xue Huan didn't know that the scheming Terenus actually had other plans...

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty is inside. ”

Old Rick pointed to the jade-white gate in front of him, bowed down with a smile, and retreated.

Xue Huan took a deep breath, pulled out a stiff smile at the old housekeeper, slowly pushed open the door in front of him, and slowly walked in...
