Stormwind Wizard God-Chapter 425: Bastard
Chapter 425 - Bastard
Originally, after Terenas arrived, he pulled out Baron Pavan, who had been beaten beyond recognition and slurred speech, and asked Llane to give an explanation.
To be honest, marrying a duke's daughter with a dowry of 1,000 gold coins is indeed an insult to the other party, but the great country of Lordaeron cannot swallow this!
Terenas did not ask Stormwind to hand over the murderer or anything like that. He was just trying to put some pressure on Stormwind, at least to prevent it from interfering when Lordaeron tried to annex Alterac in the future.
Guess what happened at this time?
All the members of the Storm Royal Knights present at the time, including Lothar, threw their gauntlets over with all their might, one, two, three.
"Baron Pavan! I challenge you to a duel!"
Everyone was shouting so loudly that the old and frail Terenas was scared half to death.
Baron Pavan, who was originally used as a gun, was knocked unconscious again. Well, dozens of steel gauntlets were swung and smashed by this group of violent muscular men. It was a miracle that he didn't die.
Terenas finally realized Stormwind's tough attitude.
Since Lothar is strongly opposed to it, there is no room for negotiation.
If the Alliance commander-in-chief resigns because of such a ridiculous thing, then Lordaeron will be the real sinner.
Baron is almost the smallest noble, below which is only the knight, which is more symbolic than substantial. (The title of knight is strictly considered a quasi-nobility, which is higher than commoners but lower than nobles. So for this day, Duke has been conferred nobility at almost every level.)
The original purpose of pushing this guy out was to test the waters.
The result, of course, was that the matter came to nothing.
However, in the coming war, there will definitely be grudges between Lordaeron and Stormwind.
In fact, all other kingdoms have begun to be wary of Lordaeron's misconduct.
When the news here was transmitted to Duke through magic communication, Duke was at the edge of the cliff of Grim Batol and stopped at the entrance of the cave. It was not because this cave could not lead to the Red Dragon Queen, but the power of the wind told him that there were more than three young red dragons resting in the middle of the road.
Unless the dragons were in a long sleep, it was impossible for ordinary humans to hide from their perception, so stealth and stealth were useless. Since they couldn't get in, they could only stay where they were.
When the message arrived, the system prompts Duke almost immediately: "Warning! Warning! The encryption level of magic message has been reduced. It is suspected that the communication has been eavesdropped."
Duke's pupils suddenly shrank.
The thing he was most worried about happened - the magic communication was leaked.
No need to ask, it must be the work of the Black Dragon King hiding in the dark.
After all, magic communication is still a kind of magic. In this world, the real ancestor of magic is the dragon!
Malygos, the blue dragon king, is responsible for guarding the secrets of magic, but that is only for outsiders. In fact, all true dragons are good at playing magic, not to mention Neltharion, who was originally one of the five guardian dragons.
This is the most important reason why Duke refused to communicate at any time after the operation began.
Deathwing did not block Duke's external communications, he just eavesdropped.
Duke was still able to receive the information completely.
However, this information still made Duke tremble: "Lordaeron appointed Mograine as the deputy commander of the Alliance and plotted to seize Alterac. It attempted to send nobles to marry Miss Barov with a betrothal gift of 1,000 gold coins. It has been stopped by us and Marshal Lothar."
Duke's body suddenly trembled.
Is it exciting?
Is it anger?
Or sad?
His heart was beating violently. Duke wanted to take a deep breath so that Nefarian wouldn't notice his drastic emotional fluctuations, but he couldn't suppress it.
As history has shown, Lordaeron attacked Alterac.
I don't know if it's because the Hordes in this life are more ferocious and the Kingdom of Lordaeron suffered greater losses than in history, so driven by the urgent need for expansion, Terenas took action earlier than in history.
Historically, the biggest sign of the change from the 'Alliance of Lordaeron' to the later simple 'Alliance' was the destruction of the Kingdom of Lordaeron.
When Arthas attacked the center, killed his father and destroyed the city of Lordaeron, the surrounding countries were not without opportunities to save other towns in Lordaeron, but they all chose to stand by and watch, which gave Arthas the opportunity to defeat them one by one. Why?
Are the kings of countries like Quel'Thalas, Gilneas, Dalaran, and Stromgarde all blind?
No! It's not!
That's because every surrounding country has been screwed by Terenas!
In the original history, after the victory of the Second Battle of the Dark Gate, the Alliance captured more than 100,000 orcs.
The orcs were invaders who had massacred countless humans and burned countless towns. After the victory of the war, Terenas actually made a stupid suggestion: "Real knights will not massacre prisoners. So we should just imprison the orcs."
Is Terenas really a moron?
No! On the contrary, he was extremely smart! Smart to the point of being ruthless!
On the one hand, the mainstream chivalrous values of society at that time did not allow for this.
On the other hand, Terenas's fantasy of unifying the seven kingdoms through the Dark Gate War and making Lordaeron the capital of the new human empire was shattered. No country was willing to get involved with Lordaeron. Since everyone had to bear the losses and destruction brought by the war, if I didn't have a good life, you wouldn't have to have a good life either.
Except for the Stormwind, which was in a state of disrepair, almost every human country was forced to take on the task of imprisoning orcs.
The famous Durnholde Keep, Lordamere Internment Camp, and Hammerfall in later generations were actually orc prisons built by various countries under the coercion of Lordaeron, the leader of the alliance.
The economies of various countries were already on the verge of collapse due to the war, and they were forced to carry this heavy burden by Terenas, the disguised saintly woman. It would be strange if they were not angry.
The fact is that in history, when the leaders of various countries heard that Lordaeron had fallen, they applauded. However, they all ignored the fact that the Scourge was undead and that the more they fought, the more they would grow. In turn, they were overwhelmed by the undead, who had an absolute advantage in numbers.
So, when Duke learned that the old bastard Terenas had finally taken action, he still felt extremely angry:
Is this the result I want?
In order to preserve the vitality of the alliance, I have lived every day seriously since I traveled through time.
Even after acquiring millions of wealth, I have never been corrupt for even a single day. I have devoted all my time to improving myself and enhancing the strength of the entire alliance.
I have never been perfunctory about any major event.
Every day I replay possible changes in the course of history.
Because I think, even if I can't win every battle beautifully, I can at least bring more hope to the alliance.
