The feud between Ravenholdt and Falkrest has long been rumored in the Kingdom of Alterac.
There are many different versions of the folk rumors about the source of the hatred between the two ducal families.
As the largest powerful noble in the original Kingdom of Alterac, the Barov family is fully aware of the grudges between the two.
"The hatred between the two families comes from the previous generation and has something to do with the late Aiden Perenold."
Alex and Haas obviously knew what happened, but they didn't intend to go into detail.
Eighty percent of the time, there were some "family scandals" that might damage Alterac's reputation.
"The reasons for hatred are too complicated, so I won't mention them for now."
"In short, there is absolutely no possibility of reconciliation between Duke Ravenholdt and Duke Falkrest. Even if Alterac successfully recovers, only one of them will survive."
Haas sneered and said: "If Faculest leads the Syndicate to successfully reach the top, Jorazi will probably have no choice but to seek refuge in Lordaeron to protect himself."
"Considering this aspect, Cholazzi will never just watch Faculest succeed."
Alex added: "In other words, we must choose between Ravenholdt and Faculest to cooperate."
"If those outsiders know that the Ravenholdt family is also supporting the restoration of Alterac in their own way, they will definitely reconsider whether they want to endure the humiliation and continue to be attached to Faculest."
Haas shook his head and sighed: "It's difficult."
"Compared with Faculest, who has 'Great Righteousness' in hand, Ravenholdt's bargaining chip is still too weak."
Sarlayan saw the opportunity and made a suggestion he had already prepared: "What if Ravenholdt also holds another 'great cause'?"
Alex and Haas were stunned for a moment at the same time. Alex, who had a keener political sense, immediately changed his expression.
"You mean... Yin Seton?"
Sharlayan nodded solemnly: "King Zeon of Gilneas has brought Yinseton Perenold to the frontline military camp at the junction of Silverpine Forest and Hillsbrad."
"As long as the Barov family nods their approval, the elite thieves in Quel'Thalas can secretly escort Prince Yinseton to Ravenholdt Manor as quickly as possible."
Haas's face moved slightly. As a soldier, he didn't have to think as carefully as Alex, who wanted to reach the summit.
From an objective point of view, Yin Seton, who received royal education, is more in line with the position of the king of the restoration of the country, and the balance in Haas's heart has tilted.
Alex's face looked a little uncertain.
As early as 6 years ago, the Barov family received a guarantee from Terenas that he would put them on the throne of Alterac.
Terenas' assurance fueled the Barov family's ambitions.
Although Barov is related by marriage to the Perenold royal family, there are still descendants of the Perenold family surviving, and their succession order will definitely not surpass those two with the surname Perenold.
Having already come this far, it would be strange if the Barov family did not have the ambition to reach the top.
But the premise of everything is that Alterac can really be restored to the country, and it will be completed under the leadership of the Barov family.
If Duke Faculest, who holds the title of righteousness, is allowed to take the lead in restoring the country, the Barov family's busy work may be in vain in the end, and there is a high chance that Duke Faculest, who intends to usurp the throne, will take the opportunity to get rid of him.
This ending is unacceptable to the Barov family.
Sarlayan suggested another possibility.
Support Yin Seton and Auriden to fight in the arena, and with the support of Duke Ravenholdt and the name of righteousness, he can legitimately compete with Duke Faculest for the dominance of the restoration plan.
The Barov family has always been good at investing. At the peak of the family, they even bought Brill, a satellite town in front of the Royal City of Lordaeron, which put Terenas at a loss.
As the contemporary patriarch of the Barov family, Alex is very shrewd. He knows how to weigh the pros and cons and maximize the interests of the Barov family in this restoration operation.
Sarlayan and Haas did not rush Alex, and his expression changed many times before finally returning to calmness.
"Hey~"
After adjusting his mentality, Alex smiled to himself.
"It seems that the Barov family still has that fate."
Rubbing his cheek, Alex solemnly said to Saryan: "On behalf of the Barov family, I can fully support Yin Seton's succession, but we need his guarantee."
"Brill won't go into details. I hope that after Alterac is restored, the Barov family can take back Tarren Mill and Southsea Town that belong to us. In addition, I hope that Durnholde will also be included in the kingdom. Under the name of the Barov family.”
"Durnhold?"
Haas frowned: "Are you sure? Blackmore is not easy to deal with."
Edras Blackmore, Lord of Durnholde, former noble of the Kingdom of Alterac.
After the Second War, Blackmoore was the first to defect to Lordaeron without any moral integrity, and was able to retain his own territory and continue to dominate.
In order to kneel down and lick Terenas, Blackmore took the initiative to apply to transform Durnholde Castle, the capital of his territory, into the largest orc shelter.
Even the ambitious Duke Faculest is not ashamed of Blackmore's villainous behavior.
However, because Blackmoore has many Lordaeron soldiers who are used to guard the orcs...or jailers, the Syndicate is not willing to take the initiative to offend Blackmore, and has always been on good terms with Durnholde.
In the restoration plan formulated by Sarlayan, Durnholde is not a force that needs special attention.
With Blackmore's nature of adapting to the changing circumstances, he will never rashly take sides before the situation becomes clear, and will only stick to the side that ultimately wins.
According to the plan, Alterac will only turn around and consider how to deal with Blackmoor after the country is successfully restored.
"Sure."
Alex narrowed his eyes slightly: "The Barov family has kept a low profile over the years, but our caravan can still receive a lot of intelligence from all over the world."
"I heard a dangerous rumor among the caravans traveling to and from Durnholde Castle. It is said that Blackmore is secretly cultivating orcs and trying to use the orcs in the shelter for his own use."
"What?!"
When Haas heard the news, his eyes widened with anger: "Is this true? How dare that little bastard do this?"
Blackmore was once one of the officers of the Kingdom of Alterac. He was awarded the rank of lieutenant during the Second War and belonged to the Alterac army led by General Haas.
Blackmore has always talked about people and ghosts.
When in front of General Haas, he always showed a groveling attitude, which made Haas look down on him.
When facing other people with lower status than himself, Blackmore has another completely different face.
Alex shook his head: "I'm not sure, but I'd rather believe it."
"The Kingdom of Alterac perished because Aiden fornicated with the orcs and betrayed his own kind. This is an extremely painful lesson. We cannot experience the same disaster again because of Blackmore's perverse behavior."
"Before the restoration plan is completed, I will not force the coalition to attack Durnholde, but Blackmore is undoubtedly a scourge. When the situation stabilizes, we must eradicate him completely."
Haas frowned and looked at Sarlayan: "Earl Shadow, Quel'Thalas' intelligence agency is world-famous. Have you found any clues that Blackmoore was having an affair with the orcs?"
Valeera is a senior official of the Backlight Blade, and she answered Hath's question on behalf of Sharlayan.
"We have found no definite evidence of fornication with the orcs. Blackmore often fights with the wild orcs who roam the Arathi Highlands and Hillsbrad."
"But according to our rogue observations, Edras Blackmore did have a special regard for a young orc, and specially sent someone to teach him human military, political knowledge and combat skills."
"The young orc's name is Thrall. He is only 12 years old now."
"Unlike his tired and weak compatriots, Thrall has been strong and strong since he was a child, and he can easily defeat the soldiers of Durnholde Castle at the age of 12."
[World Shaman finally appeared. I thought the butterfly effect had wiped him out. 】
[So what does Xiaosa think? Do you want to kill Thrall in advance to deal with the threat that the orcs may pose in the future? 】
[There is a saying. The new tribe led by Thrall was not actually a threat before the rise of Brainless Roar. Instead, it made a lot of efforts to protect Azeroth. The tragic battle of Hyjal was their investment. Title. 】
[Indeed, those veterans who have experienced the second and third wars know the value of peace. If Brainless Roar hadn't brought a large number of young radical orcs from the outside world to join, the orcs would not be in the miserable state they were in later. 】
Sarlayan looked at the content of the barrage discussion thoughtfully: "Thal... To be honest, I haven't decided how to deal with him yet."
