Chapter 167: Reparations
When Varian first learned of Aiden-Pirenord's betrayal, he became furious, Stormwind had been destroyed by the orcs, and the humans were almost bleeding under the orcs' butcher's knives, and the king of Alterac had betrayed all of humanity, which was unbelievable. X
Later, the alliance army led by Lothar died in the battle of the Blackstone Tower when pursuing the tribal army, the news came, Varian's hatred for the tribe was even stronger, when he was a child, his father was in front of him, and was stripped out of the heart by Garona, after the destruction of Stormwind, Varian has always regarded Anduin-Lothar as a spiritual pillar, and it is Lothar's loyalty to the people, leading by example to pull up an alliance army against the orcs, so that the remnants of Stormwind know that victory is in the near future.
However, when the tribe was defeated, Varian's spiritual pillar collapsed, which made the young prince unacceptable, and later learned that the Alterac Kingdom had secretly betrayed the alliance and helped the tribe's orcs attack the royal city of Lordaeron, which made the young prince want to directly pull Aiden-Pirenor to question him face to face.
"The Coalition must liquidate the traitors of Alterac, who have lost tens of thousands of soldiers and countless people to the death of the war due to their betrayal, and these losses are entirely due to Aiden-Pirenod."
……
Among those present, with the exception of Dalaran's representatives Antonidas and Patrick, who did not express their attitude, the rest of the delegates almost overwhelmingly demanded the liquidation of the traitors.
This atmosphere of negotiation made the Barov family feel pressured: "Friends of the Alliance, the remnants of Alterac have been handed over to His Majesty Terenus. ”
When Terenus had taken action against the Alteracs, the remnants of the Alterac kingdom fled to the Balov family's possessions: Keldaron, and Alexei Barov, the lord of the Barovs at the time, realized that his opportunity had come.
King Alterac betrayed the entire alliance, and the rest of the various aristocratic forces did not exist, although the Barov family was neither a duke nor a marquis, but the Barov family was a well-known and wealthy family in the entire Northern Continent, they were rich and rivaled, but they did not have a noble title, the Barov family relied on the four properties of Brill, Kelldalon, Talenmere and South Sea Town, making the Barov family one of the richest families in the Northern Continent, but how could the rich satisfy the appetite of these conspirators, Becoming a hereditary nobility is what the Barov family wants.
No, the nobility does not satisfy the appetite of the Barov family, what Alexei really wants is the position of king, to be able to become the king of the kingdom of Alterak, and that golden throne is what Alexei Barov really wants.
After the king of Alterac betrayed the alliance, Barov ostensibly accepted a large number of remnants of the Alterac nobility who fled to his territory, and gave them nobility treatment no less than his own title, but in fact he just wanted to gather these noble remnants and wipe them out, because Alexei Barov had long wanted to claim the throne of the king of Alterak, but they had no excuse to raise the banner.
Alexei Barov knew that Aiden Pirenod's betrayal was a godsend, but if he raised the butcher's knife against Aiden-Pirenod before the Alliance's trial, it was a betrayal, and it was the same as Haas, the commander-in-chief of the Alterac army, but after obtaining the political recognition of all the Lordaeron Alliances, the Barov family could consider themselves the legitimacy of the Alterac Kingdom, and the Barov family needed a reason to fill the other mouths.
Therefore, after the alliance summit was held in Terenus, Alexei Barov did not hesitate to hand over the remnants of the Otrankian nobility to Lordaeron, and showed that the Barov family was firmly on the side of the Lordaeron Alliance, and wanted to obtain the political bargaining chips recognized by the entire Lordaeron Alliance.
However, Terenus was not a good man, and he was not aware of the ambitions of the Barov family.
"Alterac's betrayal has taken a huge toll on the warriors and people of the Alliance, and we do need to give an account to those who have died." Terenus looked gloomy, as if he was grieving for the dead people.
Then Terenus pointed to the details of the battle in his hand, which was compiled by the Coalition Army Headquarters: "The losses of the Alliance Army in the battle are very large, due to the inaction of the Alterac Kingdom, after the defeat of the Orcs, many Orcs scattered and fled, resulting in the Duke of Lothar having to divide his troops to defend other towns, after chasing the Orcs all the way to the Blackstone Tower, the troops in Lothar's hands are already stretched, the soldiers of the tribe are strong in combat, and the Alliance has to send three times or even four times the strength to ensure the complete victory of the troops." ”
"In the end, the Duke of Lothar was attacked by the orcs of the tribe and died in the battle of the Blackstone Tower." Terrenas paused, cleared his throat to make his voice more vector, and said sharply, "I think the Alterac Kingdom must pay for this debt. ”
At this time, Alexei Barov's heart was in his throat, and the success or failure of the entire Barov family was in this summit of the alliance.
Patrick picked up the battle report and looked at it carefully, during the tribal pursuit war, all the troops that left the coalition team to pursue the orcs turned out to be all direct troops of the Lordaeron Kingdom, which is thought-provoking. Patrick couldn't help but sigh, the Duke of Lothar really didn't die in vain, Terenus did it seamlessly, and he also gave the crime of killing you directly to the Alterac Kingdom, so that the traitor would bear the blame.
These human politicians are like old foxes, and Patrick didn't expect that Lothar's death would be so many twists and turns behind it.
All of the human leaders expressed their opinions, with young Varian demanding that Alterac pay the debt for blood, the kingdom of Stormgard, Kurtilas, and Gilneth clearly not interested in revenge, and Dalin, Jean, and Solas did not speak in public.
And Patrick directly expressed his attitude to the human side: "Actually, there is no need for you to fight back and forth, I have no interest in the internal affairs of the human side, but I have a simple suggestion, that is, the Kingdom of Alterac may be able to compensate for the loss of this alliance." ”
"I have also provided a large amount of food and medicine supplies, and saved the lives of a large number of human civilians and soldiers, which I believe all human kings should know, and the betrayal of Alterac has caused those unnecessary losses to the support troops I sent, and I think it is reasonable for the Alterac Kingdom to make corresponding compensation."
After saying that, Patrick still floated in the air without saying a word, making up for the arrogant appearance of the High Elves, with blue arcane ripples on his body, and an expression of looking at people with his nostrils.
Almost all of the human kings on the field have their own ghosts, wanting to fully benefit their country, Patrick simply came to add fuel to the fire, and directly led the topic to the matter of Alterac's compensation, I just need to earn enough materials and benefits, as for other things, let you fight for power and profit within yourself.
Anyway, there is the first filial son of Lordanlun,
