Chapter 67: The Fire of Alterac
The war at sea has come to an end for the time being, and the situation in Alterac has become more complicated.
Under Richard's command, the Twilight cult took advantage of popular discontent to secretly instigate uprisings throughout Alterac, and in an instant, half of Alterac raised the banner against Perynord. Perynord's army struggled to recapture a pass. The only thing Alterac was known for was defense, only in the mountains, of course.
Fearing that the whole of Alterac would lose control, Perinord finally reluctantly asked his two neighbors for help. What he didn't expect was that these two usually uneasy and kind-hearted neighbors readily agreed.
A brief meeting was held, and the direction of the attack of the three armies was also determined: Perinord concentrated his forces to attack his own capital, and the armies of Lordaeron and Fort Rapids were responsible for clearing the rebellion on both sides. Lothar's main force blocked behind and prevented the rebels from escaping.
In Perinod's marching tent, a map was drawn in a mess.
Perynord looked up: "What do those two old guys have to do again?"
Haas shook his head.
"It's useless. Perinord continued to draw on the map.
"Smack. Perinord threw the pen on the map, "Forget it, don't think about it, the capital is important, they dare not go on my land?"
"In!"
Perinohd stared at him tightly: "Tomorrow morning, we must take the first two passes! Our country's army must not be ridiculed as an army that even the peasants can't beat!"
Haas gritted his teeth and responded, "Yes, Your Majesty!"
Terenus's forces marched northwest of Alterac from Lordaeron, and the heavily armored forces made their way up the hill, carving out a path through the dense forest that would allow the army to pass through.
Terenus stood halfway up the mountain and commanded, "Take someone to the cliff above to repair a sling to make it more hidden." ”
The defeat of the orcs is a foregone conclusion, and the alliance doesn't know what will become after the victory of the war, especially Alterac, although there is no evidence for the time being, Perinold's betrayal is enough to make people vigilant, one has two, God knows when he will come again, Lordaeron can't afford such a disaster, it's better to take some precautions early.
Fort Riptide, where Alterac clashed every now and then, was not as hidden as Lordaeron, and the hundreds of Solas warriors slashed down the trees one by one with axes, pushing them flat from the hill to the top, and the originally green hill had been cut bare.
A general couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty, isn't it a bit ...... for us to do this?"
Solas said dissatisfiedly: "What's the matter! Lao Tzu doesn't help the rebels fight him, he is already giving him face! Still thinking about letting Lao Tzu sacrifice his own soldiers to help him put down the rebellion?
"Bang!"
Perinord, who had reached the outskirts of the capital, slammed the table angrily and roared.
"Soras, you bastard!"
Unexpectedly, he took the opportunity to cut down the barrier southeast of Alterac, Alterac's strength was much lower than Fort Riptide, and the reason why he was able to fight with them for so many years was because of the forest at the junction of the two countries, which was actually cut down by them!
Haas barged in and said, "Your Majesty, the messenger of surrender has returned, and the city refuses to surrender. ”
"Then hit! Hit hard!"
"Yes!" Haas took the order to prepare for an assault on the capital.
Perynord clenched his fists tightly and slammed the table: "Damn Soras, I've taken back the capital, I'll be the first to destroy you!"
Kozan Island.
Richard asked, "How's the form of Alterac going?"
Vaschi replied: "The king's army has reached the capital, and it will change hands in a few days." ”
Li thought for a moment and said, "It's okay, the orcs have already regrouped in the south. Let our people get out of the way, and let no trace be grasped. ”
"What about Ivan?"
Richard made a neck-scratching gesture: "Naturally, he is a figure who can prove the Perinodriton tribe." ”
Vasqi was puzzled, "Master, why do we erase all the evidence related to Perinord and the orcs?"
"If the coalition had the evidence, Perinaud would have been punished or even placed under house arrest, and Alterac's rights would most likely fall into the hands of other countries. If Perrynord is still in control of Alterac, with the impact of this incident, several countries are suspicious of each other and even cause some friction, which is much more useful than a seemingly harmonious alliance. ”
Isa, who was temporarily living in the palace of Perinade, received an order from Kozan Island to shred the paper with the order written on it and threw it into the brazier. The entourage around her was sent by her to invite Ivan.
Isha gently rubbed a dagger with an intricate pattern.
"Whew" blew lightly, hiding it in a wide robe.
"Miss Isa, is there anything going on? Perionord's army has begun to attack the city. ”
"There's news for you. Isha approached Ivan.
Suddenly, Isha grabbed the dagger and stabbed it into Ivan's left chest, and Ivan looked at her in shock.
"Your mission is over. Isha drew her dagger and wiped the blood from it with a handkerchief, and Ivan fell to the ground with a "poof", a large amount of blood scattered on the floor.
Isha said to one of his attendants, "Order our men to evacuate to the predetermined location, and move quickly. ”
Then he said to another attendant, "Burn this place." ”
The three people in a hurry didn't see Ivan's hand moving.
A raging fire rose in the palace, and a man lying in a pool of blood slowly got up.
"Ahem, it's good that there are hemostatic runes. Ahem, you didn't expect my heart to be on the left side. Ivan Salosic groped his way out of the smoke......
The Alterac rebels, who had lost their main combat capacity, were no longer able to keep Perynod's troops out of the capital, and Haas commanded the army to rush into the streets and alleys to clear the remnants, while Perirond swaggered into his capital after the battle, but as soon as he walked in, he heard a bad news.
"Your Majesty!" a blackened soldier knelt down in front of Perinod, "Your Majesty! Ivan Salosic set a fire in the palace, and everything inside was burned, and the queen and prince ...... it."
Perinold's heart felt an ominous premonition: "What's the matter?
The soldier cried out: "The queen and the prince are also buried in the fire!"
Perionoord suddenly didn't stand still and leaned back, and the guards around him hurriedly supported him.
Smelling the burning smell in the air, Perynold's eyes overflowed with tears: "It turns out that the firelight just now turned out to be ......"
Before he could finish speaking, Perynod's eyes darkened and he fainted
