"Why is it like this... For the first time, I have someone I like; for the first time I have made a lifelong friend. These two happy things are intertwined. And these two joys will bring me Come to a lot of joy. I should have obtained this kind of dream-like happy time. But why, it became like this..."
Jaina, a white school girl, looked at the distorted time and space in front of her, and fell into deep confusion and contemplation.
Time goes back to nine minutes and thirty seconds ago.
Thanks to the unremitting efforts of Miss Joanna Ravenholdt, the incarnation of Onyxia, Jorah, a farce over the marriage between Alterante and the royal family of Lordaeron was eliminated.
It’s not surprising when you think about it.
An alliance formed because of interests will inevitably fall apart because of interests.
According to the conspirators' plan, Carlos' wedding will start funny, run through it, and end in irritation.
The plan is not complicated. Apart from financial resources and force, the power base of the king's dignitaries is only majesty and dignity.
To put it bluntly, all the privileged classes are those with the ability to face the fruit of face. When faced with things that the peasant soldiers cannot do even at the cost of their lives, these aristocratic gentlemen can simply say "give me face" to solve the problem.
When Keldaron and the Barov family were competing for strength, the conspirators were still thinking.
It's not that he doesn't have the financial resources to compete with Alterac for money and wealth during the war, but the time is not right. You can't use the people's poverty and hardship as an excuse to resist taxes and refuse donations, while you can unscrupulously raise money to fight a trade war over there. The alliance's hundreds of thousands of troops haven't been disbanded yet!
Therefore, the strategy of the anti-Alterac forces is actually very simple - face is also a part of strength. If you lose face to Carlos, there will naturally be followers who will question your strength.
It's really a benefit-free strategy. It has no logic at all, but it is extremely effective.
When it comes to words, it means that xxx is not even xxxx, it must be xxxxx.
For example, Carlos can't even hold his own wedding, so he must be incompetent.
Or maybe Terenas can't even choose a son-in-law, he must be suffering from Alzheimer's disease.
Another example is that Fatty G can’t even count to 3, so Stea must be taking jujube pills.
Zongzong's words, whose semantics are broken and illogical, have a unique magic power to confuse people's hearts.
Carlos really wanted the legendary protagonist Halo, but it was a pity that the system could not be sold.
You know, the protagonist's aura that combines a brainless aura, a strong luck aura, and a blood-locking aura is the top prop that can turn Dark Souls into an unparalleled Sengoku!
Carlos burst into tears every time he thought about this.
Look at other people's system masters and other people's time-travelers. The young Rantong and the big sister who fell in love at first sight were all gift packages given to novices at birth; the unparalleled civil servants and military generals in the country can be brought back in bundles with just the courtesy of the corporal. , I don’t mind that you are a little kid with no hair on your lower body; the neutral unit bows to you as soon as the tiger’s body is shaken, and the boys risk their lives for the main attack... wake up, those are the members of the gay group, right? !
Carlos discovered very painfully that some of his subordinates were loyal and many were die-hard loyalists. Unfortunately, they were all mentally deficient and basically fell into the category of foolish loyalists. Those who are capable have a lot of ideas. The more capable they are, the harder it is to understand them. They can even only be allowed to teach in their hometown, but they dare not give them real power. There are capable and loyal people... there are hundreds of them in the Knights, but these spiritual mysophobia gathered because of their faith let them fight orcs against trolls, one against three, let them participate in these conspiracies, and immediately they were like "I Refuse, this is not the Holy Light", "Carlos, you have changed", "Ai Xing people will not fight Ai Xing people".
So even though he knew there was something wrong with Joanna's origins, Carlos still had to hold his nose and use it.
Otherwise, there will be no one available at all.
So far, the results look pretty good.
As expected, he is a high-end assassin who is good at kidnapping, blackmailing and stabbing in the back and has obtained qualifications from Ravenholdt Manor. Under the intentional or unintentional division of the guards (maintaining order), the nobles who want to cause trouble are either physically unwell or have their lower backs stabbed. After receiving the knife, all the first-timers who had received the settling-in fee and life-saving money stopped screaming, and the wedding ceremony was proceeding smoothly.
There were too many spectators and too little time to connect. Carlos unreasonably held the dinner party in advance, and his opponents were confused.
The castle of Keldaron is simply too big.
Unlike the city walls + fortresses = castles built by other noble lords, Keldaron Castle is a real castle, and the city is both a fortress.
That was the era when Thoradin's Wall had not yet been completed, and it was the period when the Arathor Empire was first established. The remnants of the Troll Kingdom located in the north of the Arathi Highlands had always been a serious concern for mankind, so the rulers of Stromgarde made a decision. ——Build a military fortress at the strategic location of Keldaron.
The rise of the Barov family also began with the construction of Keldaron Castle.
This military fortress, built with the strength of the Arathor Empire for hundreds of years, came to a standstill after the Covenant Book handed over by the elves of Quel'Thalas. However, even if it was not completely built according to the drawings, Keldaron Castle is still the center of Azeroth. Rath is a miracle in the history of human architecture, second only to the miracle of Thoradin's Wall.
Even in the palace of the Menethil family in Lordaeron, can you find an indoor hall that can accommodate two thousand people?
cannot.
But Keldaronborg can.
Because this military fortress, at its most crowded, once accommodated 200,000 Arathor soldiers preparing for a desperate battle with the Amani trolls.
Although the territory controlled by the seven contemporary human kingdoms is much larger than that of the Arathor Empire, without the authority of the emperor, humans will no longer be able to build such a magnificent building as Keldaron Castle.
The guests invited into the banquet hall by Carlos couldn't help but be suppressed by the weight of history, because this is the remaining power of the Arathor Empire and the place of ancestral glory.
In fact, even in Keldaron Castle, there are rooms that can accommodate 2,000 people, but there are really no rooms that can accommodate 2,000 guests.
Treating guests requires eating, guests moving around and toasting each other, maids serving food, and guards keeping watch around. The space required for these is much larger than that required to cram two thousand people into it.
So Carlos demolished two walls and connected the three halls without consulting an architect.
Praise the magic, and to hell with load-bearing walls.
Carlos did not choose lighting magic. For the so-called unity of style, Carlos used a total of four thousand thick candles and 274 tung oil torches as lighting sources, rendering the banquet venue with a wild majesty, and the guests present seemed like Suddenly returned to the iron-blooded era eight hundred years ago, no matter men, women, old or young, they unconsciously became majestic and heroic.
"Today is a great day, a hero of the Alliance, one of the defenders of the human world, the master of the Kingdom of Alterac, the eldest son of the Barov family, the successor of Keldaron Castle... (Resist the urge to omit 3,000 words wedding speech).”
The bishop who came to preside over the wedding instead of Alonsos Faol refused to use the amplification magic due to the atmosphere, shouting at the top of his lungs.
"This is a newlywed couple favored by the gods. Now, let them receive blessings from relatives and friends!"
When the bishop's voice was hoarse and his voice was broken, the ceremony finally came to the last step. The guests stood up and picked up their wine glasses, just waiting to smash the glasses as a sign... Bah, bah, just waiting for the host's order, everyone Do it first as a sign of respect. Once the ceremony is over, you can sit down and eat and drink as much as possible to make up for the loss of your share of money.
But at this moment, a sudden change occurred.
As a brave mage, he suddenly rushed forward with a flash spell and knocked over the silver cup in Jaina's hand.
Why?
Although we have only known each other for less than an hour, I feel very close to you. Why do you want to destroy my happiness on this most important day in my life?
Why?
what is this?
Jaina was so into the role-playing game that her IQ was -30.
"careful!"
The brave man only had time to say this word before he was rushed away by a huge force.
What was supposed to come, finally came.
(This is the weight from the day before yesterday)
