I don't think you should be so surprised.

People change.

During the Alterac period, the Barov family was the real uncrowned king, and their family had enough strength but did not claim the throne, and when Alterac was completely finished, they did not claim the throne, but chose to merge into Lordaeron. It's an interesting multiple-choice question, to join Lordaeron or to Stormgard or ...... Being independent, now that this is the content of the open-book exam, it is obvious that it is more beneficial for him to have a good relationship with Lordaeron.

You just said the cost, yes, which option is the lower cost?

Your expression tells me...... Are you chosen......

Independent?

Ha, no, no, no, you don't know what happened here, there were several nobles who were annexed to Lordaeron at that time, one of them was the lord of Steinbled, Duke Facurrest, and that guy was definitely not a fuel-efficient lamp. You don't know this, if the Barov family chooses independence, it is likely to become the next place to be divided after the division of Alterac.

When the territory of Tarunmir was divided, Duke Facurrest did not get any arable land at all, but mountains, forests, and 10,000 acres of fertile land were all captured by the Barov family. If you were Facurrest, would you ask the Barov family for farmland?

Ah, you don't know. Let me tell you, it's useless for him to want it, on the one hand, his strength does not allow it, and the little mountain land he got is still a little soup given to him by the Barov family, and the meat is all eaten by the Barov family. Still, it's not bad, at least there's soup to drink, but this kind of thing of licking blood on the tip of a knife on the tip of a knife should be proportional to the payoff, and the bigger the better, but apparently Duke Facurrest got what I think was put on the side by the Barov family.

Again, as you often say, there are no eternal friends, only eternal interests. When the orcs invaded, this Duke of Facurrest stabbed the king of Alterac and caused their king to be liquidated after the war, which can be seen from the fact that this guy is really not a fuel-efficient lamp.

So when the Barov family slowly changed from Lordaeron's darling to a threat, there were many people who wanted to stab them twice, and Barov would not be unaware of this.

And when the Barov family suddenly did not want to be pinched by King Terenus...... If it were you, what would you do?

Hahahaha! Our Lord Regent has never thought about such a question, right? Ha, what's your expression...... Don't look at me like that, aren't we discussing, don't you worry, I will never have any ambitions on this throne.

Feel relieved.

If a kingdom wants to be chaotic, it must start from within. This statement is the truth. And if you want to dismantle this kingdom, one is to make the middle and upper classes of the country suspicious and wavering, and even hateful, to make the people of this country dissatisfied, and then control his people.

And the best way to control the people...... It is to make them give up their old faith and change to a new one that can be used for you.

Hum...... It's a little surprised that you look at me like this, don't our Lord Regents understand? Or did I say this poke you in the sore spot?

The fact is that the best way to brainwash the population is to first doubt, then hate, and then give up. Just in time for the recent years, King Terenus's new measures have had some bad effects on the people, in fact, it is not a direct impact, but the king wants to take more from the lords, and the lords will have to collect twice as much from the peasants, which is an ironclad law.

And the appearance of Kel'thugad really met the needs of the Barov family. It was a hit and it flinched.

It's definitely not Kel'thugad who made a promise to make you immortal, and for a grand duke, if Kel'thugad made such a promise, he would definitely be blasted out. The more upper-level people are, the less likely it is to believe what others say about this kind of mysterious and unreliable thing. After all, Kel'thugad was still in human form at the time, and it was not the strange shape that he later had.

You probably haven't been exposed to this organization.

Well, the biggest advantage of the Storm Kingdom is that it is far away in the sky, and when the north is in chaos, there is nothing going on in the Storm Kingdom, and it is normal for you not to know.

The sect that brainwashed the people was called the Cursed Sect.

Is this a name that doesn't sound like a serious name? Ha! It doesn't matter, the people this sect recruited in the first place are really not good people. It's not the same as the gangs of gangsters in the city, where the first to come in are the people who are dissatisfied with society, dissatisfied with the king, full of resentment, but you have to know that some of the gangsters, especially the big gangsters, have no worse brains than people like Kel'thugad.

This group of people is anti-'social, right? Violent tendencies, right? It's the embodiment of evil! But they also have to think more, and once they think more, the result is that they are not easy to be fooled. And these people are generally only the leader of the horse, so if you want to take them down and absorb them quickly, you need some unconventional means.

Like coming back from the dead.

Carrots and sticks are skills that all lords have to learn. And Kel'thugad will use the lives of these people to conquer those hooligans, and even more so to show his peerless talent in Barov.

The Light is great, but it cannot raise people up. Natural disasters are evil, but people can come back from the dead. Regardless of what it will be like after coming back to life, whether there is reason or not, whether it will eat people, simply saying that resurrecting the dead has exceeded people's psychological expectations, this kind of thing is both evil and great. The more insane and crazy people are, the more adorable it is.

Cursed Sect, Curse What?

Hmph, I don't know what to curse, curse Terenus or what, anyway, Kel'thugad managed to capture the heart of Grand Duke Barov, and those who came back from the dead gained more power than they did in life, they had no pain, only madness.

But these people are from hooligan background, after all, they are all ...... Miscellaneous, but the greatest role of these lackeys is to be able to fulfill their duties and resolutely fulfill the orders given by their masters.

So, as Mograine said, the preaching began on the island of Keldaron, and this group of people first trained the people of the island, and they were taught that they were no longer hooligans, but full of righteousness and morality, full of compassion and pity, and constantly preaching the pain of life, the disasters of the future, and the salvation and being saved. Mograini said that the merchant ships were surprised to see this, and they had no idea what was going on.

And the people who flocked in from all over the world were the result of this group of people who began to travel around and publicize, of course, why they only entered but did not leave, there is a big problem here, that is, there is an experiment going on here.

That's right, it's a way to turn people into dead people on a large scale.

The castle of the Barov family is really ...... Comparable to a royal palace, at least none of the lords I have ever seen have built a bigger or more luxurious house than his, and I know that I have lived in his house.

And the castle of the Barov family was eventually transformed into a ...... Living death.

I seem to be off the mark...... Ha!

By the time Mograine told me all the strange things, the Cult of the Curse had taken full root on the island of Keldaron, and the inhabitants of the island had been brainwashed into becoming not only a propaganda force but also a force for defending the city.

So the number of businessmen who went there to do business began to decrease, and the locals began to become xenophobic, and even the people outside were unreasonable. Outsiders will either be brainwashed into the sect by them, or they will gradually lose their disqualification to do business with them. And some big businessmen who did business with their family didn't want to offend the family, so some of them participated in their ceremony in a fake way, but after participating in the ceremony, they couldn't go back. I say the act of thought.

I didn't feel good when Mograine told me about it, but most of what I just talked about were clues and truths that I learned later through various methods and then connected together.

And what is that plague?

That's right, it was Kel'thugad who did it in the dimly lit basement of the castle of the Barov family.

Don't be surprised, it's true, he told me personally.

When their sect begins to grow, and the number of believers grows, and the number of believers increases, certain die-hard loyalists will be willing to show up for their cause. This is the law of necessity, and this is what Kel'thugad expected.

It was fearful to study these things when he was in Dalaran, but by this time he was completely unhindered, and he could be completely unscrupulous. After all, it is a glorious and great thing to be willing to be chosen by their head and to dedicate oneself to their cause. Some people will cry bitterly and even commit suicide because they were not chosen.

Alas......

A steady stream of corpses, corpses of all kinds, everything, the genius mage Kel'thugad began his experiments. And the first research result is not how to resurrect more people, but how to kill more people.

Only when more people die, can their sect develop faster, better, and bigger.

The plague on the northern coast of Tirisfa was their first testing ground, but this ...... Everyone is still in the dark!
