"Ten years, has it been ten years since the King of Knights died in battle?"
Pretending to be an explorer who had been separated from his companions, Carlos successfully infiltrated a dwarf transport team.
After dark, around the campfire, after dealing with the dwarves' euphemistic questioning of "I have liquor, do you have a story?" Carlos successfully portrayed himself as a veteran of the Second Orc War. .
So under the admiring eyes of everyone, he quietly extracted the information he wanted to know.
For a moment, there was a feeling that things were different.
I have already become a myth.
It is said that on the outskirts of Anhador, there is a tomb of Carlos Barov, which has become a holy place for the Paladins.
Sure enough, only the dead can deserve the title of saint.
When Carlos heard the news, he didn't feel any excitement in his heart, but felt a touch of alienation and calmness.
It was certain that something happened in the Emerald Dream that he didn't know about.
First of all, his holy light lost the brilliance of emerald. No matter how you think about it, this has something to do with the Emerald Dream.
Secondly, his appearance has undergone some changes, and even Carlos himself feels a little paradoxical when he looks in the mirror.
Finally, I became stronger.
Carlos truly felt that he had become stronger during the trip to the Emerald Dream compared to when he participated in the Holy Grail War.
In other words, this body has become stronger.
But this is not worthy of joy, because Carlos firmly believes that there is no love for no reason in the world, and everything is inseparable from the exchange of interests.
But when I tried to communicate with the system manager, the results I got were that the system was being upgraded.
So Carlos can only use his own wisdom to solve the current dilemma.
The first is the issue of identity.
How to prove that you are Carlos Barov.
The name has become synonymous with power.
Although he tried every possible means to enter the camp of his old father-in-law Terenas, the development of history always has its inevitability. Terenas Menethil and Carlos Barov are actually the same kind of people. In their hearts There is a ghost living in them all——Emperor Thoradin.
So Carlos was not at all curious that his old father-in-law would promote the unification of the alliance.
Because I would do the same thing myself.
Determining the core position of the Kingdom of Lordaeron, after Arthas ascended the throne, and using the centripetal force of the Kingdom of Stormwind in the south, Terenas' ambition was not to simply copy the Arathi Empire of the past, but a bigger dream.
The Empire of Man.
Gilneas has been squeezed out of the alliance. After Genn Greymane was defeated by Terenas' money offensive, he began to build the wall as expected.
And his father Alex Barov is indeed the best politician besides Terenas Menethil, and he has persisted in the alliance system for so long.
But Alex Barov is only the Grand Duke Regent, not the King of Alterac. Because of the issue of inheritance, his father can no longer hold on.
Kaliya gave birth to a son.
While chatting and laughing with the dwarf and thinking about the current situation, Carlos's smile showed a touch of bitterness.
This is more painful than having to prove that my father is my father and I am my mother, because he needs to prove that he is himself.
So gradually, after the dwarves lowered their guard against Carlos, the topic naturally turned to the current dog-eat-dog war between trolls.
This gave Carlos a big hint.
Not knowing what kind of pressure his old father-in-law exerted on his biological father, Alterac released the Tustin Goll Troll mercenary group, which was gradually becoming famous within the alliance, and joined the Bad Moss Trolls to form a team that exceeded An army of 10,000 trolls.
The Alliance is very satisfied with the obedience of the Bad Moss Trolls, and does not think that 10,000 Trolls who have left their hometowns can have any bad thoughts. After all, the supply line is in the hands of humans and dwarves, and these Trolls are like chains. dog.
But Carlos felt something wasn't right.
Is the situation going so smoothly that the old father-in-law is a little confused?
There is not even a supervisory army, an army completely organized by the trolls themselves...
Although the Moss Trolls were still following Terenas' script so far, Carlos still felt something was not quite right.
What's more, the old father-in-law's hand is so long that the troll can beat the lying dog by himself.
It happened that this transport team happened to be delivering supplies to the Badmoss Trolls. Carlos, who was supposed to follow the dwarves who had completed the transport mission back to Eagle's Nest Mountain, chose to leave the team alone.
"Miluen, go back, I can take care of myself."
"No, father wants us to escort you back to the human world safely. This place doesn't look like a human settlement."
Along the way, the dryads and tree people who were hiding around to protect Carlos and the dwarf transport team gathered together again after Carlos left the group. The topography of the Hinterlands is too friendly to dryads and tree people, and they are at home like a fish in water.
But Carlos didn't want to attack Milune, the youngest daughter of Cenarius...
She is not fit for fighting.
If it was Lunala or Avella who came, Carlos would have to keep these powerful dryad warriors to serve him even if they were tricked and abducted.
but……
Milune's power is still strong. As the second daughter of Cenarius, she is the most powerful dryad after the eldest daughter Lunala. But Milun's character is too peaceful, and to be blunt, she is a bit weak.
Carlos didn't want her to get hurt, so he offered to ask the dryads to leave.
But the laughing sisters carry out their father's orders without compromise.
In desperation, Carlos could only let Milune follow him.
The protracted war with the orc tribe has tempered Carlos into a qualified commander.
Although trolls are the darlings of the forest, tree demons are more favored than trolls. With Milune's help, Carlos didn't waste much time figuring out the layout of the Bad Moss Troll.
So Carlos was a little confused.
Is it mental retardation or imbecility?
No, Duya was picked up by himself, and Tastingou was an army that had experienced the baptism of war. What's more, Xinsaro was defeated by him once, and there were ready-made cases for reference.
Why is the Bad Moss Troll’s military formation so strange that...
It's more like a pocket formation than an attack.
Pocket array for ambush.
Carlos, who couldn't see clearly, decided to observe for a while and wait until the situation became clearer before contacting the Bad Moss Troll.
So, eating the food brought by the dryads and living in a hut built by the tree people, Carlos patiently analyzed the information fed back by the forest on the top of a small hill.
Because at this moment, what Carlos lacks most is intelligence.
But for several days, Carlos discovered that the evil moss trolls were sending away the small number of humans in the original team in batches, intentionally or unintentionally, and he was already sure that something had happened.
Because among the trolls' military formation, there is an artillery battalion composed of humans and dwarves as an attacking force. However, for several days in a row, some gunners were sent back to Eagle's Nest Mountain considerately by the trolls due to acclimatization and other reasons.
Is this normal?
unusual!
The humans and dwarves of Azeroth are not the coquettish children of Blue Star. Although the Hinterlands is a forest landscape, it is not an inaccessible green hell. There are so many acclimatizations.
Why can't the trolls eat and drink well while the human dwarves have diarrhea?
Either the evil branch trolls of Zinzaro are causing trouble or the badmoss trolls are causing trouble.
Carlos hoped it was the former, but the news brought by the tree demon destroyed Carlos' expectations.
"There are many new trolls coming from the direction of the sea. Milune recognizes their flag, which is Zandalar."
Milune, who loves small animals, brings important news to Carlos.
