Many people have a misunderstanding of the relationship between the human kingdoms before the orc invasion, and think that the seven human kingdoms are in harmony with each other.

However, this perception is completely wrong.

Due to their territorial proximity, relations between human nations were not very good before the invasion of Azeroth by powerful foreign enemies.

The kingdom of Stormwind is far south of the continent, Kul Tiras is alone, and Dalaran prides himself on being neutral.

In addition to the above three countries, the relationship between Gilneis, Outlake, Lordaeron, and Stormgard can be described as love-killing and killing.

Maybe yesterday Gilneth teamed up with Lordaeron against Outlake and Stormgard, and the next day he turned around and teamed up with Alterac to attack Lordaeron.

The kingdom of Alterac sits on the fertile hills of Hillsbride, and Stormgard has always been very fond of it.

As a young man, Solas Tolbain led his army into Alterac territory several times, but was repelled by Alterac Haas on each occasion.

General Haas also participated in the Second Orc War and was one of the most relied on Alliance generals by Marshal Lothar.

Unfortunately, due to Aiden Pirenod's brain-dead decision, the Alterac soldiers, including General Haas, were closely monitored and suffered numerous white eyes.

With the fall of the kingdom of Alterac, the acquitted General Haas went into hiding and has not heard from him since.

[It turned out to be hidden by the Barov family, and it seems that Alex Barov also had plans to revive Alterak. 】

[It's also considered far-sighted, isn't this better than Facurrest, who only knows how to burn and loot? 】

The barrage didn't have much affection for the reckless syndicate either, and if it weren't for the large population they had in their hands, Sarjan would have wanted to kick Facurrest out in the first place.

The syndicate was dominated by the Duke of Facurrest and maintained by a large number of Alterac nobles.

After 6 years of operation in Facurest, the interior of the syndicate is not monolithic, and it is not so easy to penetrate.

Backlightblade has attempted to rebel against the Alterac nobles who are dissatisfied with Facurrest's oppressive rule, but has never been able to get their promise.

To put it bluntly, these nobles are the grass on the wall, the wind blows on both sides, and they will see the wind to turn the rudder's position.

Taking advantage of the cynical bickering with Haas and Alex, Sarjan half-narrowed his eyes and calculated the reliable people he could pull over.

Sarjan: "General Haas, the Barov family, Prince Atherton Pirenod, and if you add Duke Jorazi Ravenhod...... Can the syndicates change their stance and turn against each other? ”

[Theoretically, yes, but there is no unified position among the people you pointed out.] 】

[General Haas and Barov are on a similar position, and behind Yonserton stands Gilneth and Ravenhold...... If there's a chance to knock out Farkurest, Jorazi Ravenhod should be in a hurry. 】

[The disagreement between Barov and Yonserton stems from the succession to the throne.] 】

[In fact, in my opinion, the Barov family does not necessarily have to take power on their own, and it is not entirely impossible to persuade them to give in if they can ensure that they have enough benefits under the rule of Yinsudon. 】

Sarren: "For example? ”

[Hillsbride.] 】

[The central axis of Hillsbred, which consists of Talen Mill and the town of South Seas, was originally the territory of the Barov family, and Lordaeron forcibly took these two important towns from them, which greatly dealt a blow to the power of the Barov family. 】

[If Etherton can promise to return Talenmere and the town of Southsea to the Barov family, and give some more land to Hillsbride, it should allow Barov to fully support him in ascending to the throne.] 】

While Sarren remained silent and exchanged barrages, Facurrest and the other two became more and more arguing.

The obese Duke Facurrest even rolled up his sleeves and made a gesture to hit someone.

"I'll you!"

Facurrest just rolled up his sleeves and pretended, he still wanted to hit people with his fat body, I was afraid that he was living in a dream.

Although General Haas is over 60 years old, as a soldier, his temper is still very hot.

Seeing that Facurrest dared to pretend to roll up his sleeves, he smashed his fist on Facurrest's fat face without saying a word, knocking the bloated fat man back a few steps.

"Boom!"

It was only after retreating to the basement wall that Facurresta sat down limply against the wall.

The self-righteous hapless man had lost consciousness, and blood was running down his obese face.

"Bold! Dare to be disrespectful to the Duke! ”

After all, Stannbride was the territory of the Syndicate, and seeing his boss being beaten unconscious, the Syndicate thieves present immediately drew their weapons and glared angrily at Haas and Alex.

The majesty that General Haas had accumulated in the kingdom of Alterac intimidated the thieves, and although these fellows put on a fierce look, none of them dared to actually do it.

Alex Barov glanced sarcastically at the peach-filled Facurest.

"Hmph~ You can't even catch General Haas's punch, and you deserve to be the duke of the Alterac Kingdom?"

The climate in the core territory of Alterac is bitterly cold, and most of the people of Alterac have developed a hard-working but aggressive temper.

Oh, and by the way, they're also very heavy drinkers, and they're as much as dwarves.

Haas knocked Facurrest head-on in a one-on-one situation, and according to Alterac custom, the loser could not seek revenge on the winner for any reason unless a human was killed.

According to them, this is called being willing to lose.

Under the glaring glares of Facurest's men, Alex and Haas walked out of the crypt of the church with their heads held high as victors.

'Heh~ interesting. ’

Facurrest had fainted, and the meeting naturally couldn't go on.

Salian politely stood up and said goodbye to the syndicate, and Shi Shiran left behind Alex and Barov.

In order to avoid arousing Facurrest's alarm, Saryan did not immediately follow and communicate with the Barov family in person.

Under the cover of several Backlight Blade thieves disguised as Sarren's guards, one of the elite thieves suddenly vanished as he passed by a transfer.

Nothing happened, and Sarrey carried the babbling Tina Gossa on his shoulders and wandered around the town of Stannbride with Valeera.

Thanks to the noisy Tina, the syndicate thieves, who were hiding in the shadows and watching, kept their attention on Sarean and the others.

Due to the distance, the sentinels did not see that it was an arcane double constructed by Tina Gossa to take the thief's place.

Don't look at the little girl's leisure time, she is always chattering and not in shape, in order to keep up with the footsteps of Salian and others, follow her family to travel all over the country, Tina has been working very hard every day when she studies with her sister, and the speed of progress is no worse than Gianna.

There are two sides to all human beings, and Tina's optimistic nature cannot deny her efforts behind the scenes.

With a smile on his face, Sarren accompanies Tina around town, but he's been exchanging views with Valera on the Soul Link channel.

Valeera: "This town has long been infiltrated by the Syndicate, and their eyeliner is everywhere. ”

Sarren: "As expected, I will act again at night, and first find out the environment and roads in the town...... Tina, take a few more turns, and look for anything unusual in the town. ”

Tina Gosa: "Okay~"

……

With the help of Tina Gosa's cover, Salian and the others walked three laps through different routes in the town of Stannbride.

Although no clues have been found related to Merry Winterwind and Soladin's secrets, they do have a good understanding of the town's environment.

After nightfall, the elite thief who had left the team returned quietly, and Tina finally dispersed the arcane double that had been maintained.

At least a dozen syndicate thieves were closely watching the hotel where Salian and the others were staying.

All the Backlight Blade thieves were sent by Salian to rotate the vigil at the door and at the window.

Curled up into a cheetah form, Salian retreated into the shadows with Valeera, following the route planned by the elite thief to the Barov family's foothold.

The hotels where the Quel'Salas delegation and the Barov family lived were located northeast and southwest of Steinbly, respectively, and had to cross the entire town to get there.

Obviously, this was deliberately arranged by Facurrest, in order to prevent the two sides from making contact secretly.

The Syndicate's surveillance of the Barov family was also very close.

Saléan and Valilla were not in a hurry, crouching in a corner and waiting patiently.

At about 1 a.m., there was a sudden commotion in the hotel where the Barov family was staying.

General Haas stumbled out of the hotel with his bottle in his hands and a flushed face.

"O Facurrest! Go to his OO's syndicate! I only know how to squeeze the oil and water in the hands of the people, and you OO are embarrassed to say that you are Alterac...... Hmmm! ”

Before he could finish speaking, the drunken Haas was stuffed back into the hotel by someone from the Barov family.

No one noticed, and two imperceptible shadows hid in the shadows of Barov's guards and entered the hotel together.
