Chapter 661: Urgent Accession to the Throne

Valelahaw's merciless retort woke up the angry Sarren.

"Hoo ......"

Taking a deep breath to adjust his mood, Salian rubbed his forehead with a wry smile.

"Okay, listen to you, it's me who is impulsive."

As Valera said, no matter how many angry things the Syndicate has done, at least at this point in time, the front line of Icewind Gang still needs them to defend against the attack of the Knights of the Silver Hand.

In order not to affect the morale of the troops at the front, Duke Facurrest must have secretly run back.

The town of Stannbride is the home of the Syndicates, but not all of them are aligned with the forces of Farkurest.

Even at this juncture, there must still be many thieves lurking in the shadows to watch the situation change.

If the Duke of Facurrest is killed at this time, once the news leaks to the front line, the consequences will be unimaginable.

As long as people live, there is still hope, and until the last moment of despair, the Syndicate elite guarding the front line will not risk making the decision to die together.

After all, reviving the kingdom of Alterac isn't just Fakurest's dream.

Even though he knew that he had other plans, there were still a large number of people with lofty ideals in Alterac who joined the Syndicate and contributed to the revival of the kingdom of Alterac.

Duke Facurest's injuries were terrible, his left arm was dislocated from shoulder to shoulder, his right rib was broken 4, and his whole body was scorched black by dragon breath, leaving no hair left.

But for a legendary hero with a strong physique, these injuries weren't enough to be fatal.

Saljan endured his displeasure, raised his hand and released his life force, and gave a simple treatment to Facurrest, who was still in pain in pain in the coma.

Confirming that Duke Facurrest's injuries were in good condition, Valera breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked curiously at the empty gate behind Sarren.

"What about Tina and Merry? They didn't come back with you? ”

Salian shook his head, "Tina can't keep up with the speed of the Sharp-tailed Swift form, so she hangs behind and moves with Ravenhold's large army. ”

"In short, although the development of events was somewhat unexpected, the goal of beheading was finally successfully achieved, the imprisoned Alex and Haas were rescued, and some of the Alterac nobles were persuaded to defect, and the mission was successfully completed."

Valera nodded, and turned to look at Alex, who was explaining the situation to the nobles.

"Next, we will take this town controlled by the Syndicate, and with the support of the nobles of Alterac, we will officially declare the succession of Atherton and the restoration of Alterac."

"After that...... That's the real highlight. ”

……

Although the Syndicate controls a good amount of power in the region of Alterac, in the end, they are only an exiled force, and there is only one Duke of Facurrest in the high-end combat power.

In contrast, what made Saljan more concerned was Lordaeron's two-way army.

According to the information transmitted by Dalaran, the commander of Lordaeron's main army on the Western Front was Alexandros Mogglini, one of Lordaeron's high-ranking generals.

At this time, Mograini had not yet won the title of the Gray Emissary, and after the addition of the barrage, the name of Mograine was like thunder to Sarjan.

In addition to Mowglini, the army was accompanied by his adjutant Falbanks, who had followed him for many years, Yin Senlian, the military bishop of the Holy Light Church, Duane, the leader of the mages, and the vanguard warrior Herold.

The Knights of the Silver Hand on the Western Front were even more elite, led by Uther, the leader of the Regiment, known as the Lightbringer, and accompanied by the deputy commander Saidan Dasohan.

In addition, there are a number of elite paladin officers, including Baron Maxwell Tairossos, Sir Alameand Greythorne, and Ser Serrijek the Pure.

If it weren't for the Syndicate, who had been prepared for a long time, and strengthened the fortifications of Icewind Hill in advance, it would have been impossible for the Syndicate, with its uneven military resources, to resist the onslaught of the Silver Hand Knights.

After the Duke of Facurrest was taken, the end of Steinbride was doomed.

Led by Duke Jorazi Ravenhead, the Ravenhold thieves quickly broke through the defenses of Steinbryd and entered the town to take over the defenses.

Ravenhod's transfer of the manor has always been at odds with the Syndicate, and for the sake of the overall situation, Sarian instructed Jorazi in advance to restrain his men and let them show mercy to the Syndicate's surrendered men.

Killing alone will not solve the problem.

If the syndicate rabble were to know that surrender was a dead end, they might be willing to fight to the death, adding more unnecessary variables to an already urgent situation.

Salren's reminder turned out to be necessary.

Under the strong restraint of Jorazi, Ravenhold's thieves resisted their hatred and accepted the surrendered syndicate without refusal.

Seeing that surrender would save his life, the Syndicate, who had lost the will to fight after losing his leader, immediately surrendered and recovered Steinbrad sooner than Sarrean expected.

The situation on the front line was urgent, and there was no time for Yin Yeton to slowly prepare for the enthronement ceremony.

Upon learning of the fall of the Duke of Facurest, the nobles who had taken refuge in the Syndicate did not hesitate to turn to Silverton, and even tied up Oriden Pirenold, who was still drinking.

Seeing this cousin again after a few years, Silverton's expression was a little complicated.

The royal family of Pirinod was originally considered prosperous, but most of Aiden's heirs died in the turmoil that year, and only the young Oriden was taken away by the Duke of Facurrest.

It is also difficult to say whether this is Oriden's luck or misfortune.

Luckily, he was able to escape from that hell and spent 6 years of life without worrying about food and clothing.

Unfortunately, because he was completely deposed by the Duke of Facurrest with ulterior motives, even if he was lucky enough to follow the Syndicate to the throne, he was destined to be just a short-lived puppet, and the Duke of Facurrest would usurp the throne sooner or later.

In contrast, Atherton had already become sensible at the time of the destruction of the kingdom, and he still remembers the hellish scene when the royal city burned.

Six years ago, he had sworn to himself that he would restore the ancient kingdom of Alterac to its former glory.

At the urging of Etherton, and the concerted request of Prince Liam of Gilneis, King Jean agreed to teach him the way of kingship, and Silverton, who strives to improve himself, and Oriden, who is drunk and sleeps all day, embark on two very different paths.

Oriden, who was tied up in front of Atherton, had no idea what was happening, and looked left and right in horror, completely unaware that the heroic young nobleman in front of him was his blood cousin.

"Hey~"

After a moment of silence, Yin Setton waved his hand with a gloomy expression.

"Take him down and take care of his daily life...... Don't let him get involved in any state affairs. ”

Alex nodded knowingly, and turned to beckon to a minor nobleman waiting for orders.

"Did you hear that? Take action. ”

"Yes!"

For the sake of the continuation of the royal family, Atherton does not plan to kill Oridon who intends to compete with him for the throne.

Moreover, after seeing it with his own eyes, Yonserton confirmed that O'Raidon would not pose much of a threat to his ascension to the throne.

As far as Auriden is concerned, at the moment when Facurrest has failed in the background, the nobles with discerning eyes will not choose to take risks.

Atherton intends to treat Oriden as a stallion, allowing him to use his strengths of eating, drinking, and merrymaking, and to spread the branches of the Pirenor family as much as possible, just in case.

With the support and witness of many nobles, Etherton received the Alterac Crown from Duke JorΓ‘zi Ravenhod, which was stored in the treasury of Facurrest Castle, and was officially crowned king.

After the humble enthronement ceremony, Yin Ruton wasted no time and immediately issued the first royal order.

In the name of the new king of Alterac, he also appealed to the nations of Gilneis, Kul Tiras, Stormgard, Dalaran, and Quel'Salas, asking them to assist the nascent Alterac in defeating the Lordaeron invaders.

Gilneth reinforcements, who had already landed at Southsea on troop transports, immediately began to move north, and Lord Goldfrey, who was on the border of Hillsbride, suddenly launched an assault on the defensive line built by Lordaeron in the hilly border area.

When the main army of Lordaeron led by Alexandros Mograni finally broke through the fog, they were greeted by the elite army of Gilneth who had already met on two sides and set up fortifications.
