Haas is already in his 60s, and a senior officer who can live to this age will certainly not have the same brain as he did when he was younger.

After being dragged back to the hotel by the Barov family's guards, the door had just been closed, and Haas, who had been drunk before, immediately returned to normal.

In the early years, Haas's temper was very hot, which was no secret in the kingdom of Alterac.

After the humiliation of destroying the country and being forced to live in the shadow of Keldaron for six years, Haas has long since learned to control his temper and the acting skills that he previously disdained.

The syndicate watchmen had no suspicion that Haas had gone mad with alcoholism, as Haas had not been drunk before.

Thanks to Haas's superb acting skills, Sarjan and Valeera successfully entered the hotel where the Barov family stayed.

"It's time to come out."

Haas's eyes twinkled, and he cautiously glanced at the hotel lobby that had been chartered.

As a high-ranking military officer in the former kingdom of Alterac, Haas was only one line behind the late Solas Tolbairn at his peak, a proper legendary warrior.

However, at this time, he was unable to lock down the connector who must have infiltrated the hotel, which made Haas a little more jealous of the High Elves.

The Barov family and the syndicate are not close to each other, because of the interests involved, the two sides secretly have a lot of cooperation.

However, when it comes to the core interest of the right to inherit the throne after the restoration of the country, Barov and Fakurest will never budge.

If it weren't for Quel'Thalas's mediation, the two sides would not have come together, and the meeting would not have been able to take place.

Haas was not stupid, he knew that Quel'Thalas, as an extraterritorial country, must have had other reasons for intervening in this matter, and he had been wary of the High Elves from the beginning.

Two shadows suddenly appeared in the empty hall, and the surrounding Barov family guards subconsciously wanted to draw their weapons.

Haas hurriedly shouted to stop: "Stop! Do you want to get the attention of the syndicate? ”

The two phantoms quickly became solidified, and everyone present could see their appearance clearly.

One of them is a female High Elf with a masked face, wearing a matte set of black leather armor.

Another ...... It's actually a cheetah with a pitch-black body.

Haas is also well-informed, but his activities are mainly concentrated in the Eastern Kingdoms, and he has no knowledge of the Night Elves living in the continent of Kalimdor, and he has never met Druyin.

In front of everyone, Sallian changed from a cheetah back to a human form, and there was inevitably a commotion at the scene.

Although Haas's mind was also full of question marks, he knew that now was not the time to question, and once again whispered: "Quiet! Beware of partition walls with ears. ”

Since the syndicate has been secretly playing tricks, Steinbrad has not been able to develop over the years, and the hotel in the town is naturally not very luxurious, just an ordinary two-story building.

The Barov family is not vegetarian either, and the hotel they stay in is nominally a syndicate property, but in fact it has long been infiltrated by the Barov family.

The seemingly ordinary hotel is actually very different.

Led by Haas, who was silent, Saléan and Valera remained silent.

After arriving at the kitchen at the back of the lobby, Haas carefully pulled the hidden mechanism under the stove, and a secret door suddenly popped up on the kitchen floor.

Sweeping away the straw used to cover the secret door, Haas gestured for the two to follow, and went down the stairs with torches first.

Due to the advance notice of the thieves of the Backlight Blade, Alex, the head of the Barov family, has been waiting patiently in this secret basement.

Haas has been thinking militarily about how to restore the country under Lordaeron's nose all these years, and is not very clear about the political changes within the countries.

Wouldn't be as single-celled as Haas, Alex knew Sarjan well on behalf of Kael'thas and was well aware of the young count's true status in Quel'Thalas.

Alex bowed to Saljan with standard human aristocratic etiquette.

"Count Deep Shadow, under the extraordinary situation, please forgive the Barov family for being inconsiderate."

Saljan doesn't like red tape, but in keeping with the old adage that many people don't have to be weird, sometimes it's inevitable to play on the spot.

Thanks to the aristocratic etiquette he received as a child, Saljan patiently returned the favor to Alex.

"Barov family master, as you said, these are extraordinary times, and you don't have to worry about these small things."

Hosted by Alex, four people, including Haas, took their seats in the secret basement.

Alex was a little anxious about the current situation, and instead of talking nonsense in circles, he went straight to the point under the guidance of Sarren.

"The scout told us earlier that Count Deep Shadow was planning to change his plans?"

Sallian didn't fight with Alex, and nodded solemnly.

"Quel'Salas's original plan was to bring the Barov family together with the Syndicate, judging by the proceedings of today's meeting...... I'm afraid it's not a small difficulty. ”

Alex smiled helplessly: "Let the Earl of Deep Shadow laugh, holding the puppet of Oriden, Facurrest is obviously ambitious. ”

"He doesn't want to be just a dragon hero, but he intends to use Oriden as a puppet and stepping stone to seize the throne of Alterac himself."

"Humph!"

Haas snorted angrily: "As long as I am still in the day, I will never let Facurrest's plot succeed!" ”

Alex said with a bit of a headache, "But here's the problem. ”

"In order not to attract further suppression from Terenus, the Barov family has been hiding in the Taoguang of Keldaron, and has not been able to recruit the citizens of the former Alterac Kingdom like the unscrupulous Syndicate."

"Now Facurrest has royal descendants in his hands, and he has a large number of nobles and commoners of the former Alterac Kingdom."

"With the strength of our Barov family alone, even if we can rebuild the country while Lordaeron is weak, if there is not enough population, the country will naturally not be able to sustain itself."

Sarjan said understandingly: "We have also considered this point, and arranged for some people to secretly contact the former Alterac nobles who were sheltered in the name of the Syndicate. ”

Alex raised his eyebrows slightly: "What do they say?" ”

Salian spread his hands: "There is no guarantee, it is clear that I want to be a wallgrass." ”

Alex smiled bitterly and patted his forehead: "As expected, those nobles will not act if they don't see benefits. ”

Sarren: "On the other hand, if we can give them hope of overpowering Facurrest, I believe that the nobles and commoners who have been oppressed for many years will definitely make the right choice." ”

Yes, not only the commoners, but also the nobility were being oppressed by Facurrest.

The Syndicate was originally a rogue organization founded by Facurrest, and it was up to the nobles to invest a lot of money to ensure their loyalty.

Loyalty to wealth.

The Duke of Facurrest was obviously not going to spend his money to maintain the Syndicate, and as a matter of course he would squeeze other nobles and commoners out of the money.

The "military power" was in the hands of Facurrest, and the nobles did not dare to speak out.

If they were to see the possibility of overpowering Facurrest to regain his freedom, the nobles who had been miserable should have strongly supported the Barovs.

"Hmm......" Alex said thoughtfully, "To put it simply, the support of those nobles for us and Facurrest is about 4 to 6?" ”

Haas interjected, "It could be 3 to 7, or higher." ”

Alex glanced at Haas, didn't say anything more, and turned the subject back again.

"Then the question is, the Barov family has no shortage of wealth and fame, but only manpower, how can we show the nobles the possibility of defeating Facurrest?"

"It's simple."

Salian said calmly: "With the help of external forces. ”

"Don't get me wrong."

Seeing the disapproving look in both Alex and Haas's eyes, Sarjan continued to explain unhurriedly: "Instead of relying on the strength of foreign armies, you need to win the full support of Facurest's sworn enemy, the Duke of Ravenhold. ”

Haas was stunned for a moment: "Jorazi? Didn't that guy take refuge in Lordaeron a long time ago? ”

Alex wasn't as simple as Haas, and there was a thoughtful look in his eyes.

"No, it's just a smoke bomb deliberately released by Terenus, in order to cut off the possibility of Jorazi and the Alterac remnant."

"General Haas, didn't you notice?"

"Over the years, Ravenhold has never taken over the task of killing the high-ranking officials and nobles of the former Alterac Kingdom, and he has also maintained a posture of not drinking water from the well with the Barov family."

"The only thing he is going to target with all his strength ......" Alex's eyes flashed with a gleam: "Only Facurest, who formed a mortal feud with Ravenhold many years ago, is also known as the Syndicate." ”
