What kind of strategy does it take to be able to act head-on?
It's too reckless, so let's hold a meeting to study it.
Carlos calmly watched the display of affection between Menethil, a loving father and a filial son, and couldn't help but sigh - the wisdom of mortals.
So delicious.
There was no way to hide the matter of obtaining Stromka War Destroyer, and Carlos never thought of hiding it from his old father-in-law.
But the reputation of the Sword of the Human King is too great, even Terenas can't control it.
So Carlos directly made the conditions.
As long as Terenas bought him three months, Carlos promised to give Stromka to Alsace after it was used up.
So, for the sake of the future of the Menethil family, Terenas agreed to help his son-in-law deceive his son.
Suddenly, Carlos somewhat understood Thoradin's choice back then.
Hundreds of years have passed, and the theory that Stromka is a symbol of royal power still has a strong market. The blood descendants of Thoradin have been cut off with the disappearance of Lothar.
Carlos doesn't care about the symbolic significance of Stromka, but this does not prevent him from using the name of "Human King" to cause trouble.
For example, trap the Burning Legion and engage in the Lich King.
Arthas was a crucial part of Ner'zhul's plan to rebel against Kil'jaeden. Carlos did not mind using the most cautious attitude to speculate on the power of the Lich King, and he acquiesced that the Telecom Base King was monitoring Alsace around the clock. Sasse's every move.
Although Carlos was unable to detect the existence of the Lich King's power using all his sensory abilities, he still acquiesced to the existence of this situation.
Based on this judgment, as long as Terenas actively cooperates, it is very possible to strategically mislead the Lich King Ner'zhul.
Therefore, on one side is Terenas' vigilance, concern and love for his son, and on the other side is the necessary friendship between Lordaeron and Alterac in a realistic sense.
By pulling Alsace out as a target, Carlos will have a brief period of freedom without being restrained.
A crucial period of time.
What is politics?
Fighting without breaking up is politics. Terenas must fight with his son-in-law for the right to speak in human society, but he cannot break up.
This is politics.
What is war?
Life and death is a war. The Burning Legion and the Ancient Gods are determined to kill each other. Carlos must fight to the end if he does not want to be captured without mercy.
This is war.
Dancing in the strange circle of the Alliance of Lordaeron cannot prevent tragedy from happening. Only by seeking stronger power can we defeat the enemy.
Therefore, Carlos has long given up his plan to play politics with Terenas within the Lordaeron Alliance.
For the Burning Legion, war is the only way out.
Therefore, Carlos needs a period of time when he is not "taken seriously". He needs the fog of war to cover him before he has a chance to regain the initiative.
So after a series of political compromise activities, Arthas believed the rhetoric of the huge "shadow", and worriedly sent his sister and her family to leave Lordaeron and return to Alterac.
"My child, I am not going to die soon, you must mature as soon as possible..."
Terenas looked at his son who was filled with fear and felt that he could not die yet.
As a result, Alsace once again fell into a situation of being disciplined when he became an adult.
This is not right, and that is not right either. Terenas took the trouble to explain to Alsace the interests and calculations behind every decree, told the divisions of camps hidden in every negotiation, and analyzed the hidden traps and opportunities in every incident. .
These were supposed to be the scheming plans that Arthas had gradually mastered over the long years, but Terenas was eager to have them poured into his head.
Alsace was naturally in great chaos.
His father... is actually this kind of person? !
Dad loves me.
I let him down again.
Can there be any trust between people? ! !
After personally signing an obliteration order, Alsace fell into a huge sense of exhaustion and was unable to extricate himself.
An uncle who had always been very kind to him actually joined the anti-royalist camp. Just because his father levied 3% more taxes on the nobles, they were going to overthrow the Menethil family?
Has he forgotten that he also has the blood of Menethil on his body?
In order to secure the throne of Arthas, Terenas, who knew that he was about to die soon, became increasingly cruel and cruel, and personally tore apart the tender and affectionate aristocratic circle of Lordaeron that Arthas had always known.
If you want to make it perish, you must first make it crazy. If you want to make it crazy, you must first make it extreme.
[This is the real world. Your father protected you very well before. Ha, the troubles of superior people. 】
After receiving instructions from the Lich King, Kel'Thuzad began to act as Arthas's psychological mentor.
"Perhaps, but what's the point of such a world? The dirty politics of intrigue. Now I feel sick to my stomach when I hear this word."
[You are still too weak. Look at Carlos. As long as you have power, you can just purge the opposition. 】
"Huh, Alterac-style political struggle?"
Arthas couldn't help but laugh.
[But it works, doesn’t it? 】
"Alterac is just a small country, Lordaeron is not."
【Do you have any misunderstandings about Carlos' Kingdom? Today, Alterac is the second largest country in the Alliance, after the Kingdom of Lordaeron. 】
"What do you want to say?"
Alsace was wary.
[I'm just answering your question. 】
"Okay, sorry."
[No need to apologize, after all, my life is in your hands. 】
"..."
Young Arthas began to feel that having an alternative "friend" like Kel'Thuzad was not a bad thing. He believed that as long as he mastered Kel'Thuzad's phylactery, the Lich could be used by him.
But Arthas, who lacked life experience, did not notice that Kel'Thuzad was leading him into the abyss called "power".
Instigated by many dark forces, the orcs, who had always been used as pawns, began to follow the old path again.
"The orcs in Hearthglen and Stratholme shelters are showing signs of rioting, and the local defenders have begun to suffer from similar symptoms on a large scale. They do not have enough power to suppress possible riots."
Arthas tried his best to express himself in front of his father.
"So, my child, what do you want to do?"
Terenas watched Arthas' performance calmly.
"Let me go, father, and let the people of Hearthglen and Stratholme see that their prince can keep them safe."
Terenas listened to Alsace's words and fell into deep thought, silently assessing the gains and losses in his heart.
"Father?"
Terenas closed his eyes and breathed evenly.
"Father?"
"Your Highness, Your Majesty is asleep."
Terenas' personal butler whispered a reminder, and Arthas left unwillingly and helplessly.
After Alsace's footsteps completely faded away, Terenas slowly opened his eyes.
"Use your life to tell my good son-in-law that he can leave."
Terenas ordered.
