The rush of time can only be made up for by manpower.
After more than 2,000 people working day and night, Alex Barov's wedding was finally held as scheduled.
The shadow of war seems to have slowly receded from the mountains of Alterac, and the people regard this wedding banquet as a signal—a signal of peace.
It seems like good times are coming.
However, there is a rumor circulating among the nobles and wealthy businessmen.
"His Majesty Carlos seems to have had an accident. Alex is paving the way for his second son. We may have to change the king. Don't you believe it? Then why have we not heard from His Majesty for two months?"
"I personally am convinced of King Ka, at least I am convinced of King Ka's bravery. He is the king who can lead us to victory."
"Well, let's just continue to observe. The big shots haven't made their stance clear yet, so it's not our turn to wave the flag yet."
"Everything is hard to say yet. Someone is here. Well, this wine is really good! Praise to His Majesty Carlos and the generous Regent Grand Duke."
In twos and threes, either with their children, relatives, or alliances with interests, the big shots in the Kingdom of Alterac were talking thoughtfully, but most of their faces were filled with joy and humility.
The war destroyed the old social order, but also forged a new social structure.
Before the wedding banquet started, the well-informed guy had already received the news that as a dowry for Calia Menethil, more than a hundred carts of hulled wheat had arrived in Andorhal, and it would be ready in less than half a month. It can be turned into bread and fried pancakes and served to everyone's table. In more than a month, the first batch of early-ripening summer grain will be harvested. The food shortage that has plagued the Kingdom of Alterac will soon be over. The large amount of alcohol provided at this banquet is also a sign that the prohibition on alcohol is about to be abolished.
Alex Barov held such a high-profile wedding banquet for his second son before his eldest son's marriage to the Princess of Lordaeron was finalized. He must be trying to take this opportunity to convey some message.
At this critical time when it comes to taking sides, no one wants to be the one who stands out.
At the moment when the sun's shadow is blocked by the mountains, but its brilliance has not completely dissipated. The protagonists of the wedding took the chair. The protagonists of this wedding banquet were sitting in their respective positions waiting for a certain moment to arrive.
After a crisp ringing sound. The ceremony band blew a five-meter-long salute horn, and the deep sound of the salute horn silenced the lively scene where people were drinking and drinking.
"Gentlemen and ladies, citizens of the kingdom, friends of the Barov family. I, Alex Barov, am the caretaker appointed by the king, as a proud father. Welcome and thank you all. arrival."
Alex pressed his hand to signal everyone to stop applauding before continuing his speech.
The alliance at this time is not the alliance that will be more than ten years later. The application of magic is still a high-level issue for humans. It was discovered that the magic device for sound amplification did not play the expected role in the banquet hall. Alex jumped on the table.
After the good-natured laughter, no one felt that the joyful father was rude, and no one dared to call the regent Grand Duke of Alterac rude.
Standing high and seeing far, Alex was either impassioned or humorous, perfectly interpreting the speech of remembering the past and looking forward to the future.
At the guest table. Some people enjoyed the fine wine and fine food and listened to the regent's nonsense indifferently, while others pretended to enjoy the fine wine and fine food. But his attention drifted towards the balcony from time to time.
"It's time to take action, isn't it?"
"Wait a minute, there is no chaos outside. Are you going to wear a banquet dress and hold a table knife to discuss the succession of the throne with the guards of the Barov family? Patience, what we need now is patience."
During the quiet conversation, a horrifying conspiracy was revealed.
"Why isn't Ilusia Barov here?"
"Well, it's a hidden danger, but who can say for sure about the mage."
"I felt a little uneasy, the timing wasn't right."
"Wait. All we have to do is wait."
Alex was still performing with all his heart, and called the newlywed couple in front of him. He was introduced again to the noble lords, ladies and ladies present, and many nobles in the guest seats always laughed knowingly at the occasion.
For a while. The scene is extremely harmonious.
However, outside the venue, things were not so harmonious.
"Damn it, didn't Alterac's city defense soldiers go to Gavin Heights to suppress the rebellion three days ago? Who can tell me who these guys are?"
The original plan was to open the city gate and let the 1,300 people who had been broken into pieces and ambushed outside Alterac City into the city.
However, there was no guide waiting for the gathering place and time, and the assembled rebel army only had an army with a flag that they had never seen before.
Although he was lucky in his heart, the rebel general still thought that this could not be a secret ambush by his lord, because his master could not get so many high-quality armors by selling iron and steel.
"We are the 16th Corps that was ordered to return to defense. Which part do you belong to?"
The rebels tried to make excuses, but what greeted them was fishy blood and a ruthless rain of arrows.
In the city of Alterac, the saboteurs who tried to cause chaos and the suppressors who had been prepared were fighting in the streets and alleys, and fire inevitably appeared.
Alterac Castle and Palace are located at the highest point of the mountain basin, with good sightlines. The commotion in the city inevitably caused a commotion in the banquet hall.
The wait is here!
The fire in the city seemed to be a signal, and countless eye contacts filled the banquet venue.
"Chief Guard, send someone to check on the situation and urge the city defense troops to put out the fire quickly."
Alex disagreed indifferently.
After getting off the table, Alex never returned to his seat. Instead, he walked around the banquet hall with his son and soon-to-be daughter-in-law, introducing the couple like many old friends and upstarts.
The late Queen Shasa's father, Ned, the high lord of Gavin Heights, winked at Aria, and the assassin nodded almost imperceptibly.
When Alex walked up to Ned, the old friends' hands were clasped tightly together.
"Why don't you sit up there? Old friend, we haven't seen each other for many years."
Alex said with emotion.
"Today is the wedding of two children. I, a bad old man, won't overshadow the wedding. We haven't seen each other for a long time, almost twenty years. You and I are almost the same age now. At that time, you and Aiden No matter what the reason, you have to go to my castle, hahahahaha!"
"Don't mention this anymore."
"That's right, let's not mention this anymore."
At this moment, a sudden change occurred. Aria pulled out the hairpin that fixed her bun, and accurately hit the throat of the guard behind Alex.
Amidst the gurgling sound of blood bubbling, the guard collapsed weakly.
Alex tried to pull his hand away, but found that the old guy with age spots in front of him was much stronger than he looked. Aging is just his disguise.
The unexpected situation shocked everyone around. The alert guards noticed something was wrong and pulled out their knives, while some unidentified nobles who were having fun continued to have fun.
"The Regicide is dead, and the Barov family deserves to die!"
The leader shouted, and the scene fell silent instantly.
Then boils over with panic.
"Kill ****!"
Ned shouted, and the situation completely got out of control.
Ignoring his son's panic and the chaos of the scene, Alex Barov turned around and looked at the two women sitting three seats apart on the chair, their faces as calm as the lake in late autumn. (To be continued.)
