Chapter 971: The Undercurrent Behind the Civil War

Just as the Duke of Deep Shadow was holding a banquet in his own domain, feasting all the noble families in the south of the forest, the situation on Lordaeron's side changed further.

With Galia's initiative, Arthas, who was forced to respond urgently, was obviously a little unprepared.

The first shot of this skirmish was unsurprisingly fired in the city of Lordaeron, and the city guards belonging to the two factions "accidentally" misfired in the confrontation with each other.

This explosive musket shot completely ignited the spark, and the two sides who were already nervous subconsciously attacked each other as if they had received a signal.

Salian has always believed that the big events that can affect the pattern of the continent are the result of a number of small things that happen by chance and are stacked together step by step.

From this point of view, there seems to be nothing to question about this misfire.

However, Sarjan never trusts inertial judgment too much, and he needs to see more practical evidence.

Under the in-depth investigation of the elite thieves of the Backlight Blade, they really found something suspicious.

"Evil power? Are you sure? ”

"Sure."

Valilla's expression was serious, placing a small piece of the broken barrel left behind by the explosion on Sarren's desk.

"This is the evidence sent back by Daniel Moonhunter, the head of Lordaeron's intelligence department, and it has been preliminarily examined by the arcanists in front, and there is still a trace of evil energy left in the barrel of the gun."

Saljan turned his head to look at Stella Gossa on the side with a solemn expression, and Xiaoxing put his white hand on the barrel of the gun to examine it carefully.

As a soft blue-white light swept across the tattered barrel, Stella Goussa's brow furrowed.

"The judgment of the front-line arcanist is correct, and an extremely small amount of evil energy can be detected in the barrel of the gun, and the reason for the explosion of this gun is probably not so simple."

With the infighting of the city defense as the fuse, the inside and outside of the royal city of Lordaeron fell into chaos.

The two forces loyal to Galia and Alsace finally stopped hiding and couldn't wait to completely overwhelm each other, hoping that the heavy bets placed on by their respective families would pay off as soon as possible.

Under the restraint of Arthas and Galia, they did not go too far, at least for the time being, and did not let the flames of war spread to the ordinary people in the royal city.

At this critical juncture, Gilneth, Outlake, Dalaran, Stormgard and other countries have all prepared melon seeds and are waiting to see a good show.

But they didn't plan to take advantage of the opportunity to send troops out of the blue.

Now that Lordaeron has no worries, the two siblings can rest assured that they can use their energy on each other.

In the event of an invasion by foreign enemies, Calia and Arthas, who have a good relationship, are likely to make peace quickly, just venting their internal contradictions on this rising bird.

Maybe there will be a race between the two sides to see who solves the problem first and adds points to their own battle for the throne.

The leaders of other human kingdoms are not stupid and will not be stupid to jump out and be the first bird at this juncture.

The heaviest fighting today is near Brill, a satellite town outside of the Intramus.

In addition to the Tirisfara Glades, which is directly under the royal family of Minashir, the lords of Hearthvale, Andorhar, Daronshire, East Wild, and many other places also took sides.

However, these exiled lords did not fight with the neighbors who disagreed with each other for the time being...... Except for those who have deep contradictions with each other, just take the opportunity to give each other a little color.

The Lord of the Hearthvale, Tirio Fortin, remains neutral between the two sides as the Knights of the Silver Hand.

But in fact, Tirio's heart is more inclined to Princess Jialia, who has a more stable ruling style, but because of the choice of the first king Terenus, he can't say anything, so he simply doesn't help anyone.

As the most important granary of the Eastern Tirisfarian woodlands, Andorhal's position is crucial.

Unfortunately, Andohar was the domain of the Grand Crusader Saidan Dasohan, and he never made a clear choice between the two forces.

Compared to the relatively calm East Tirisfal woodlands, East Wild, which is further away from the Intramuros, is a different story.

The two boroughs of East Wild, South and North have taken the exact opposite choice.

Talon County was firmly on the side of Arthas, while Stratholme was influenced by Quel'Salas and took a clear stand in favor of Princess Galia.

As for the Hand of Tyre and the Chapel of Light's Wish, which belong to the Knights of the Silver Hand, both of them have unsurprisingly chosen neutrality.

From this, it can be seen that the influence of the core members of the Silver Hand in the kingdom of Lordaeron can be seen at almost every important node.

According to information from Stratholme, the new Baron of Rivendell, who had just taken over from his retired father, had sent troops across the Daron Mill Trail in an attempt to control the bridge that must be crossed from the East Tirisfal woodland into East Wild.

As long as they could take control of the banks of the Sodoril River, Stratholm would be able to cut off the road from the royal city once and for all, leaving Talon without any new supplies.

In order to secure their own supply routes, the county side of Talon was naturally not to be outdone, and the vanguard of the two sides had already clashed several times on the east bank of the Sodoril River.

Far away on the island of Keldaron on the other side of Lake Daron Mill, the Barov family, who belong to the kingdom of Alterac, are gloating.

The Barov family was ruthlessly put on the line by Lordaeron in the matter of Alterac succession.

Although they breathed a bad breath through the Battle of Alterac, Alex also saw the true colors of his two sons, Alex and Wilton, who had high hopes, and could only put the hope of continuing the family inheritance on his youngest daughter Jandis.

Alterac, who is still recovering, does not plan to participate in this Lordaeron infighting, but this does not prevent the Barov family from watching the show up close.

"Hmmm......"

Salian looked thoughtfully at the tattered barrel in front of him: "Stella, you mean that this barrel was injected with evil energy in advance and detonated by remote control at the most critical moment?" ”

Stella Gossa nodded solemnly: "Maybe there are some discrepancies in the details, but the general idea should not be wrong." ”

"This local dispute was designed by someone a long time ago, and those with bad intentions are afraid that they can't wait."

During the Battle of Alterac, the Dreadlord had been plotting in Lordaeron's shadows to make a move, but they hadn't been able to make any big splashes at the time.

The Dreadlord is a very difficult species, and the original intention of Emperor Denatius the Great was to make them the best spies and insert them into the various forces of the universe.

Not only are the Dreadlords good at disguise, but their powers are also compatible.

The Nasrezm clan hail from the Shadow Realm, and the power of death is naturally used in normalization.

Ironically, however, the Dreadlord is best known for its background in the twisted voids controlled by the Burning Legion, and most people are most impressed with their power for their evil powers.

According to the barrage, even Zela, the Mother of Light, has a rare Great Bat of Light, Losaxon, and eighty percent of them are spies deliberately planted by Denasius into the Legion of Light.

Lordaeron's struggle for the throne stems from the desire of Galia and Arthas for the throne, but there must be other forces behind them.

There is no need to think deeply, first of all, Naozu will definitely not let go of this great opportunity, and the Burning Legion will naturally raise the bet in this civil war, and they all hope that Lordaeron will be as chaotic as possible.

As a target for Sarren to deliberately arch in front of the stage to attract firepower, Lordaeron has completed his "mission" very well over the years.

At least for now, the Backlight Blade, which has been on high alert, has not found any traces of infiltration by the Dreadlord inside Quel'Thalas, and most of the Burning Legion's spies have gone to Lordaeron, the strongest kingdom in the Eastern Continent.

Salaan has no intention of directly interfering in the rivalry between Galia and Arthas, and if this interference in the internal affairs of other countries is exposed, it will definitely have a huge impact on his personal reputation and the image of Quel'Thalas.

But if a suitable entry point can be found, Sarean can get involved for the right reasons.

Helping the "friendly neighbors" who are too busy for the time being to catch the Burning Legion spy is a fitting reason, and now, this truth has been sent to Sarjan.

Sarjan, who had already planned for a long time, only pondered for a moment before making up his mind.

"Valeera, send a letter to Caponia, asking her to publicly inform Alsace and Galia of the results of this investigation through the channels of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, on the grounds that there are outside forces interfering in the civil war."

"Also, inform Daniel Moon Hunter to continue the operation, and it is best to catch the tail of the Cursed Sect as well."

Sarjan looked up at the huge map hanging on the wall: "You are neutral in the civil war, fighting the Burning Legion and the Scourge Legion, you have no reason not to move, right?" ”

"Silver Hand, once you break the original plan and move, it's up to you to stop if you want to stop."
