While Sarjan and the others were busy cooking Casanatyr, the Backlight Blade thieves who had been scattered and lurking after the attack witnessed the beginning of the restoration turmoil.

The Duke of Facurrest seems to have realized that the course of events is beginning to get out of his control.

After the evacuation of the Quel'Salas delegation, the increasingly anxious Duke Facurrest forcibly detained Alex Barov and General Haas, who had not yet moved, and placed them under house arrest in the Syndicate's headquarters, Facurrest Castle, fearing that more uncertainties would be invited.

Before leaving Steinbrad for the second time, Saljan had secretly contacted the Barov family in the form of a sharp-tailed swift, and learned the location of Merry's secret warehouse from Alex.

From that time on, Alex and Haas knew that Duke Facurrest could attack at any time, and they were mentally prepared in advance.

Haas and Alex are not thieves or mages, and cannot be hidden or stealthy from the Syndicate's surveillance like Sarjan and others.

In order to avoid provoking Fakurest to jump over the wall, the Barov family cooperated and accepted the treatment of house arrest.

Considering the extraordinary power of the Barov family, Duke Fakurest did not dare to go too far.

He forcibly brought the delegation of the Barov family to the castle in the name of hospitality, did not further provoke Alex and Haas, and deliberately asked the nobles of the former Alterac Kingdom to receive Barov and his party instead of him.

Duke Facurrest, who was very confident in his own deterrence, did not know that these nobles had already received contact from Quel'Thalas, and their originally firm position had been shaken.

Facurrest's decision to woo Barov in order to show generosity gave Alex and Haas the opportunity to directly engage with these wall-grass nobles and explain the current situation to them more intuitively.

Knowing that the Duke of Ravenhold had made a decision to support the virtuous Innotherton Pirenod, the nobles looked back and thought about the useless son of Auriden, and the balance in the hearts of many began to tilt.

The Duke of Facurrest was temporarily ignorant of the undercurrents in the rear.

After taking Alex and Haas, he took a fine pipe from Alex as a token and sent his stand-in to Keldaron in a hurry.

Using the token as evidence, Facurrest's stand-in intended to force the Barov family to fully cooperate with the syndicate's reinstatement.

The Duke of Facurrest himself remained in Steinbrad and led the most elite members of the Syndicate to the top.

The new mayor of Lordaeron sent to Steinbraid was killed by Facurrest, and the remaining Lordaeron security forces were quickly wiped out.

The Syndicate hung the mayor's dead head in the town's square to warn the residents of Stannbride and threaten them to cooperate with the Syndicate's plan for restoration.

After taking down Steinbred without any surprise, Duke Facurrest did not stop and led the elite to attack the Icewind Hill east of Steinbled.

Icewind Hill is the gateway to the Alterac Snow Mountains in Andohar.

Conversely, by taking the outpost that stood on the way into the mountain, the Syndicate would be able to concentrate their superior forces to keep Lordaeron's army out of the Alterac Mountains.

Of course, the Syndicate's strength alone would not be able to stop Lordaeron's troops, which is why Facurrest sent his henchmen to Keldaron in the first place before attacking.

They need the help of the local snakes, the Barov family.

The shrewd Alex knew what his two sons were, and while he and Haas were away from the castle, the management of Keldaron was in the hands of the mistress Yinlusia Barov.

Alex had made enough preparations, but he didn't calculate that his good son actually secretly hooked up with the syndicate and sold him clean.

As the saying goes, there is no single line of misfortune, and there is no double blessing.

When Wilton Barov rushed to Barov Castle with Duke Facurest's stand-in to seize power, Alex Barov, the eldest son of Alex, also started his own commotion.

When he noticed that his younger brother had begun to seize power from his father and son, he immediately left Barov Castle and went north to Andorhar, revealing to Lordaeron officials that Wilton Barov had plotted against him.

The actions of the two Wolong Phoenix Chicks were hidden from their mother and sister, and both Yin Luxia and Jandis thought they were just going out to have fun.

When Wilton arrives with a stand-in for Duke Facurrest, Luxia Yin, who is acting as the head of the family, realizes the seriousness of the problem.

But that's not all.

Due to the intelligence blockade of the surrounding countries, Lordaeron is ignorant of the undercurrents in Alterac.

After Alex reported that his brother Wilton had colluded with the Syndicate to plot a rebellion, the mayor of Andorhar immediately reported the important news to the royal city of Lordaeron.

The old king Terenus had just woken up from his coma, and it stands to reason that he was far from being in good health enough to handle state affairs.

Knowing that during the time he was in a coma, Prince Arthas made a series of strange decisions, Terenus almost didn't get stunned again.

Enraged, Terenus took away Arthas's position as prisoner on the spot, despite his illness, and ordered him to reflect on his mistakes behind closed doors.

Terenus's wife had long since died, and it was impossible for the queen to act as a prisoner.

Considering his physical condition, Terenus, who was reluctant to give up power, ignored the opposition of his ministers and used Princess Galia to assist him in handling state affairs.

Queen Lordaeron died young, Terenus had no heirs, only one son and one daughter, and his wife did not continue after her death, and Arthas was not born again.

Arthas was ordered to reflect behind closed doors, and Terenus, who had not yet recovered and was unwilling to relinquish power, could only carry his daughter out to help.

Princess Galia had never been educated in state affairs before, and Tyrenus positioned her as a vase to marry and win over allies.

said that she was assisting her father in handling state affairs, but in fact, Princess Galia was just a tool for reading manuscripts, responsible for reading the recitals reported by the ministers to Tyrenus, who was still a little lacking in energy.

Terenus didn't think about reusing Galia, but only planned to find a tool man to help her survive the time when her body had not yet recovered.

However, for Princess Garia, coming into contact with these movements related to the direction of the kingdom of Lordaeron every day, and then recording the handling methods of Terenus one by one and distributing them to the ministers in charge of various positions, it is equivalent to her father teaching her about state affairs.

After receiving the information from the mayor of Andorhar, Galia immediately informed Terenus of the news.

"What?!"

"Ahem!"

Terenus, who had been leaning against the head of the bed and closing his eyes to recuperate, suddenly sat up straight, and his already weak body immediately issued a warning due to the excessive movement.

"Wilton Barov...... Attempted rebellion? ”

Terenus gasped heavily, a cold glint flashing in his cloudy eyes.

"Is it really just a personal act on the part of Wilton? Did Alex mention his parents? Where are Alex and Lucia Yin now? ”

The genes of the royal family of Minethil are very good, Alsace is handsome and tall, and as his own sister, Galia also has a slender figure and delicate appearance.

A waist-length stretch of long blond hair was draped behind her, and the breeze blowing in from the window gently brushed the ends of her hair, and Gelia raised her hand to elegantly tuck the fluttering blonde hair behind her ears.

The gentle Princess Galia carefully read the information in her hand, and it took a few seconds before she reported it to Terenus with certainty.

"No more explanation, Alex just reported his brother Wildon."

"Damn it!"

Annoyed, Terenus leaned back to the head of the bed, closed his eyes and pondered for a moment before speaking again.

"Pass my orders and have Matthew, the mayor of Andorhar, immediately send scouts to Icewind Hill and Barov Castle to find out the information."

"In addition, order Uther to lead the Knights of the Silver Hand to Andorhar first, and stay in the town at any time."

"Yes, Father."

After Princess Galia turned away with graceful gait, Terenus stared at the roof of the room.

"Hopefully, I'm just thinking too much, or ...... The situation in the Eastern Kingdom will become even more chaotic. ”
