Just like what Sharlayan said to Valeera before, not everyone in the Syndicate is just a slut. There are also people like the Yuri brothers and sisters who are truly determined to restore the country.
Duke Faculest's downfall has been settled, and the Syndicate he founded is coming to an end.
While the Knights of the Silver Hand's siege was not very strong, the Syndicate, which had lost its cohesion, began to fall apart.
However, in order not to affect the war situation and prevent them from escaping if the situation collapses, the top leaders have not let the top soldiers below know the latest changes in the situation in the rear.
However, paper cannot keep fire.
Duke Faculest has been missing for a long time, and senior officers often hide and hold closed-door meetings. Rumors have spread in the army. Many people suspect that the officers saw the unfavorable situation of the battle and planned to escape first, leaving them here to die.
No one is really stupid. The worried expressions of the officers were all seen by the soldiers. The seemingly solid defense of Bingfeng Post was actually riddled with holes. All it took was a powerful siege. Detonate all uneasy factors.
Sarlayan didn't understand Uther's military habits, so if he put himself in Uther's shoes, he would definitely launch an attack within a week at the latest.
For a very simple reason, knights are really not good at attacking cities. A kind-hearted paladin like Uther will definitely not use his life to force the army.
After arriving in Andorhal and understanding the situation at Icewind Point, Uther will definitely urge the craftsmen in Andorhal to work overtime to make siege weapons.
At the same time, Uther used the strategy of exhausting his troops to engage in psychological warfare, first letting the defenders of Icewind Hills get used to the siege rhythm of the Silver Hand.
When it comes time to actually launch an attack, Uther will change the timing of his usual attack.
Sarlayan guessed that he would turn the night's bluff into reality and actually launch a night attack.
With the current low morale and panic state of the Bingfenggang defenders, they might not be defeated in one blow when attacked at night.
Sarlayan cannot sit back and watch this happen. Icewind Post must hold on until the Barov family and General Haas arrive with reinforcements. At that time, it will be the real moment of decisive battle.
"Winter~"
Under the gazes of more than a dozen Syndicate officers, Sarlayan roughly threw the two bloody heads onto the simple conference table in the center of the camp.
"This is the head of the Lordaeron scout I hunted in the abandoned village east of Icewind Hills leading to Keldaron. I gave it to you."
The middle-aged masked man sitting at the top is named Damian Nocheski. He is one of Duke Faculest's most trusted lieutenants. He is highly bound to Faculest's interests and there is no turning back. But go.
Ever since he learned that Duke Faculest had been captured by mistake, Damian had been trying to encourage the officers at Icewind Post to drop their defenses and give it a try and return to the army for rescue.
Damian frowned and glared at Sarlayan: "Whose subordinate are you? Who allowed you to make your own decisions?"
"Our biggest enemy now is not Lordaeron, but the rebel party led by Yin Seton."
"On the contrary, we should establish a good relationship with Lordaeron and strive to gain their forgiveness after the war. You..."
"enough!"
In the eyes of other officers who had different ideas, Damian's plan was completely unreliable.
Not to mention that the new king of Alterac, Yin Seden, already had the right to inherit the throne and was definitely not a traitor.
Just the thieves who stayed behind at Steinblade in Ravenholdt Manor were not that easy to deal with.
Moreover, abandoning the defensive line and retreating will inevitably lead to the Knights of the Silver Hand marching in.
Even if they were lucky enough to defeat Yinselton's defenders and rescue the seriously injured Faculest, what awaited them would not be a happy ending.
"No one thinks that Lordaeron will forget about our defection in battle, right? No? No?"
This eccentric and seductive woman is named Polina, and her surname is unknown.
After the destruction of Alterac and before joining the Syndicate, Polina once led a bandit group in the Alterac Mountains. She relied on plundering Lordaeron merchants to make a living and feed a group of original members under the protection of the bandit group. People of Alterac.
She and her men are the most determined proponents of Kaifeng.
Damian clapped his hands angrily and stood up: "You ungrateful bastard! If you don't dare to fight, just say so! Stop being so weird!"
"Oh~ You dare to bang the table with me, a brainless, loyal idiot? Then come up with a feasible plan!"
As a representative of the Zionist faction, Yuri ignored the verbal dispute between Polina and Damian, and looked at Sarlayan who looked calm with deep eyes.
"Who are you...?"
Yuri asked calmly: "I can recognize every member of the Syndicate. You two are definitely not from the Syndicate."
Sarlayan spread his hands indifferently: "So? Is it still time to stick to your identity?"
"In my eyes, everyone here has only one identity."
"The defenders of Icewind Point who blocked the Silver Hand from marching into Alterac, that's all."
Yulia's eyes flashed, and he said with a sudden look on his face: "So that's it, you are from Yin Seton."
"Should I say that you are brave because of your talent? You actually dare to walk into the Syndicate's military camp with such arrogance."
"What?!"
Damian, who was arguing with Polina, glared at Sarlayan with red eyes, and several diehard generals also had fierce looks on their faces, ready to take action at any time.
Polina looked at Sarlayan and Valeera with twinkling eyes.
During the years when she was a bandit, she had seen all kinds of weirdos, but she had never seen such a strange person who could go deep into the enemy camp and still deal with it calmly.
'Are you really sure? Or is it just a bluff? '
While the fugitives did not speak out and the restorationists remained silent for the time being, the Faculest loyalists headed by Damian planned to capture Sarlayan and Valeera as bargaining chips in negotiations with Yinseton.
"Get them!"
"Ha~"
Sarlayan activated his eagle eye technique and glanced at the officers present.
The levels of brother and sister Yuri and Yulia are 48 and 47 respectively, which are not too far away from the legendary realm.
And Damian... is only level 43, not as good as Polina who is quarreling with him, not to mention the vassals around him, most of them are between 35-40.
"The elite officers of the Syndicate, that's it?"
Sarlayan completely ignored the minions. When Damian stabbed the dagger into his back after a high-speed maneuver, he suddenly turned around and accurately pinched Damian's wrists holding the weapons.
"Damian!"
"Rebel! Let him go!"
Just when Polina and Yuri were about to plead for Damian, Valeera, who had disappeared without a trace, suddenly turned into countless afterimages and flashed through the camp.
"Killing Feast!"
When Valeera returned to Sarlayan to regain her breath, blood spurted out from all the thieves she had cut at almost the same time.
"Bah!"
Valeera showed no mercy to these die-hard Faculestists who could not be subdued. Their wounds were either on the left chest or on the neck, all of which were fatal.
"Peng!"
Sarlayan pinched Damian's hands, lifted him from the ground into the air, and kicked his right leg hard in the abdomen.
"Pooh!"
Damian's blood-red eyes bulged, and he opened his mouth to spit out a mouthful of blood mixed with internal organs.
Sarlayan's attack was not as gentle as Valeela's, and this kick directly shattered Damian's organs.
After letting go of Damian's wrist, he slumped to the ground like a puddle of mud, staring straight at the ground, half-opening his eyes and going into shock from the pain.
Sarlayan turned his sharp gaze to the brother and sister Polina and Yuri who had chills in their vests.
"Do you want to fight again?"
"Hiss~"
Polina, who had been a bandit, knew very well that those who are in charge of affairs are heroes. She hurriedly smiled and waved her hands to explain: "Don't look at me, I have no interest in going against the new king of Alterac. I am not the same group as these idiots."
Sarlayan nodded uncertainly, and then looked at Yuri and Yulia.
"what about you?"
Yuri took a deep breath to calm down: "As long as Alterac can be recovered, it doesn't matter who from the Perenold royal family becomes the king. We will not object to Yin Seton's ascension."
"very good."
Sarlayan pointed to several corpses in the tent: "The Kingdom of Alterac has been officially restored. King Yinseton Perenold ascended the throne with the support of a large number of nobles. No one can question these laws. Lester’s surviving children and elders deserved to die.”
"The top priority is that we must continue to hold on to Icewind Post until the reinforcements sent by the Farov family and His Majesty Yinseton arrive, and we must not let Lordaeron open the gateway to Alterac."
Sarlayan looked around at the silent officers in the camp: "I have said this, who agrees and who opposes?"
