Volume 5: King of the Mountain Chapter 275: The Orcs' Conspiracy
Murphy was very surprised when he heard this.
Huh? He actually came.
Although he had used the Brotherhood's [Call Brothers] function before, he didn't actually hold much hope because Arthas and Varian were far away in Stormwind City when they met last time. Even if they responded, it was impossible for them to fly over.
Because the description of this hero's specialty is to appear in a 'reasonable way', and there is a certain probability of failure, the longer the distance, the higher the probability of failure.
So in Murphy's opinion, this expertise must only be useful when the 'brother' is nearby.
But I didn't expect that I would actually attract one.
King Aiden was delighted when he heard this, "Quickly let Prince Arthas in."
Soon, Arthas, dressed in military uniform, walked into the conference hall.
He was greeted by dozens of gleaming gazes.
There is no way, Arthas is too famous, especially for players, he is simply a household name.
The future Death Knight, the filial son, the Lich King, if we have to pick a protagonist for World of Warcraft, it must be him.
However, when they saw the young version of Arthas in front of them, everyone was speechless - that's it?
In fact, the thirteen-year-old Arthas was already quite tall for his age. Although his face was still a bit childish, he was wearing armor and had gone through several hardships before, so his temperament had a bit of murderous determination.
The key is that the template level completely crushes everyone else. When he first went to Stormwind City, he was already at the first level of gold. After those battles with the Horde, although he didn't get many kills, he at least fought the whole process. Now he is already at the third level of gold. In terms of rank alone, he is the highest in the field except for Aiden, who is a fake.
Aiden (King of Alterac): "Prince Arthas, welcome to the Kingdom of Alterac. I have heard about your heroic deeds at the Dark Portal. I never thought that hearing about you is worse than meeting you in person. You look even more heroic than the rumors say. Terenas really gave birth to a good son."
Arthas (Prince of Lordaeron): "Your Majesty Aiden, it is an honor to meet you. I greet you on behalf of my father." Arthas said as he bowed his head, a standard aristocratic etiquette and quite graceful.
After some official pleasantries, Aiden couldn't wait to ask the question.
"So what brings you to this remote place called Alterac?"
"I heard that Alterac was attacked by orcs. I followed my father's order and led my army to help the Kingdom of Alterac fight against the orcs."
When Aiden heard this, he stood up excitedly.
"Hahaha, that's great... Well, I mean, we can actually deal with those orcs by ourselves, but it's always good to have more helpers. Welcome to join us, Prince Arthas. Come on, we are discussing strategy, please join us."
The princes all covered their faces and said, "Can you please stop being so embarrassing, you old bastard?"
"So how many troops did you bring with you?"
"I have brought with me the 30,000 troops that Lordaeron has assembled recently to deal with the war with the orcs." said Arthas.
What? Murphy was a little surprised. Shouldn't the army of Lordaeron go to support Stormwind City?
King Aiden was also a little surprised. "I thought the army of Lordaeron was sent to support Stormwind City. Hasn't the Alliance army already begun to gather in Arathi?"
A few months ago, Alterac received a letter for help from Stormwind Kingdom, and a resolution had been made that the Alliance would form a coalition in Arathi. The armies of various kingdoms would gather there to jointly deal with the attack of the orcs. However, Alterac happened to be attacked by orcs, and Aiden refused to send troops with this excuse.
However, the other kingdoms should have already sent their troops there.
Arthas explained, "Our scouts recently intercepted a letter from the orcs. It turns out that the orcs want to build a portal in the Alterac Mountains so that the orc army can easily cross the terrain and land in Alterac and occupy the Kingdom of Alterac in one fell swoop.
The Alterac Mountains are located between the countries, with high terrain and convenient transportation. Once the orcs occupy this land, they will gain a huge strategic advantage and pose a huge threat to the countries of the Alliance. Therefore, my father decided to temporarily stop participating in the alliance and get rid of these orcs in Alterac first. "
As he spoke, Arthas took out a letter.
Murphy took it and took a look.
The content is roughly, please complete the construction of the portal as soon as possible, our army has been assembled, as long as the portal is built, we can immediately march into Alterac, and then use Alterac as a base to attack the surrounding Alliance countries.
Murphy frowned as he read the letter. He always felt that there was something wrong with this letter. Others might not know, but he knew very well that the orcs' portal technology relied entirely on the support of Medivh and the cooperation of Gul'dan. Now that Medivh and Gul'dan were gone, asking them to teleport across the continent was a joke.
Suddenly, I had a thought: Damn, why is this letter written in the common language of the Alliance?
Although the orc civilization is relatively primitive, they still have their own writing system. If you must use the orc language. How can you write a letter in human language? This letter couldn't be forged.
So what was the purpose? And who forged the letter? The answer is obvious - Tenaris!
This old villain is probably determined to destroy Stormwind. Yes, if the coalition is formed now and goes to support Stormwind, the supreme commander will definitely be King Llane. After all, he has the highest title. Once the Alliance wins, Stormwind, which has exerted the greatest power in this war, will undoubtedly become the leader of the Alliance. King Llane can also become the chief decision-maker of the Alliance based on this record. This is completely unacceptable to Terenas, who has always wanted to build his own empire.
In fact, Terenas has never concealed his ambition to establish an empire. This can be easily seen from the name of the Royal Knights of Lordaeron. There is only one word difference between royal and royal, but the nature is completely different.
But if the coalition forces had arrived a few months later and the Storm Kingdom had been destroyed, then Lordaeron, the most powerful kingdom, would undoubtedly have become the leader of the Alliance. The Storm Kingdom would not even dare to retaliate because it was still counting on others to help it restore its country.
It’s really a good conspiracy.
It's a bit dark though.
In fact, if there had been no such thing as Alterac, Lordaeron would not have been so dark. After all, everyone has to save face. No matter how much you delay for one month, two months, or three months, why don't you send troops?
You have to have a reasonable excuse.
Now that they have Alterac as a big excuse, it is a good opportunity to give up support. Of course, there must be a stronger reason. After all, there are only tens of thousands of Frostwolf orcs in total, and they cannot pose a huge threat to the Alliance countries.
So they simply forged a letter, pretending that the orcs' invasion of Alterac actually had a bigger conspiracy behind it, in order to achieve their goal.
Thinking of this, he already understood the cause and effect of the matter.
This way, Alterac got an advantage. With such a large wave of reinforcements, the battle would be easier to fight.
Alas, it’s a pity for my second brother. I’m afraid he will suffer a serious consequences this time.
He presented the letter to King Aiden.
King Aiden read the letter and his eyes suddenly lit up. Although Aiden was not good at fighting, he was quite experienced in conspiracies and power struggles. He immediately understood King Tenaris' plan.
But he didn't think there was anything wrong with it. He would do the same if he were in his place. Besides, it would be better for him to die than for his fellow Taoist to die. In this way, Alterac would be safe.
An expression of shock and indignation immediately appeared on his face.
“I didn’t expect these orcs to have such a sinister plan. No wonder they are such powerful elites. That’s how it is!
Prince Arthas, please rest assured that I will fully assist you and crush the evil plot of these orcs together."
