Volume 6: The World of Rebellion Chapter 300 Godsons and Biological Sons
"Prince Aidan, Prince Darabonba, and Prince Sigrette, this is an invitation letter from His Majesty King Terenas to you, inviting you to attend the grand military parade in three days. We also welcome accompanying troops from all countries to participate in the parade."
System prompt: Trigger the plot event [Alliance Military Exercise], participate in the grand military parade three days later, and lead the Alterac Kingdom army to participate in the parade. Your identity in this plot event is [Prince of Alterac], please be prepared.
Looking at the palace guards in front of him, Murphy took the invitation and nodded: "We will definitely attend on time."
After the palace guards were sent away, Dara Benba and Sigrette immediately came over.
Both of them also triggered a plot event. Although this kind of plot event without combat usually doesn't give too many plot points, but even a small mosquito is still meat, and there is no risk without fighting, and it is free plot points, so the two are still quite interested.
Sigurd (Prince of Alterac): "Brother, the militia we brought are useless. The five hundred knights you have are not bad. This time it all depends on you."
Darabongba (Prince of Alterac): "You can't say that. I have expertise in peasant riots. What's wrong with the militia? They beat up the orcs, too."
"You can't have a peasant uprising on the spot, can you? This military parade isn't a real war. It's all about appearance and momentum. Your militiamen are not good enough."
Dara Bangba was speechless for a moment. Sigelette was right.
Murphy listened to what the two said, but he showed a thoughtful expression. At first glance, this military parade seemed nothing special, but in fact it was full of mysteries.
The purpose of Lordaeron's convening of the alliance this time is not only to deal with the tribe, but also to unify the alliance. The purpose is to show the strength of Lordaeron's army and put pressure on the countries in the alliance. In this world, the strong are respected, and the relationship between countries is also based on strength. Only by demonstrating overwhelming military power can Lordaeron become the true leader of the alliance.
So even though the powerful figures from various countries have already arrived in Lordaeron, Terenas is not in a hurry to hold a meeting, but instead holds a grand military parade. The meaning of this is not difficult to understand.
Welcoming accompanying troops from various countries to participate in the military parade is naturally part of the plan. Although the armies of various countries have already gathered in Arathi Highlands, when the boss comes to the meeting, he will naturally be surrounded by elite soldiers and generals. When the time comes, each of them will show their assets, and the strength of each family can be seen.
The countries in the alliance have not had a large-scale war for many years, so the judgment of the strength of various forces is not so certain, and the right to speak is naturally difficult to distribute. Therefore, this kind of military parade is actually a test for the ranking of some powers within the alliance, and it must not be taken carelessly.
If the troops from Alterac participating in the military parade lack momentum and are looked down upon, then naturally no one will take them seriously when the time comes to divide the spoils in a war.
Murphy figured out the key, and smiled confidently, nodded and said, "Don't worry, I will give them a surprise when the time comes, and I will never lose face for us in Alterac."
It would be troublesome if a large army was dispatched, but Murphy was confident that he could just send a small elite force to participate in the parade.
In another three days, the five hundred Dragon Knights in his hands would be enough to complete the transformation. Then it would be the first time that the Dragon Knights would appear. The appearance of three extraordinary soldiers together would absolutely shock the whole audience.
He thought about it and suddenly remembered something.
"By the way, where is the God of War Lu Bu?"
"He has gone to the palace to dine with Terenas."
Murphy was speechless. This guy really thought of himself as a member of Tenaris' family. He was so proactive.
At this moment - in the Lordaeron Palace.
Terenas (King of Lordaeron): "My dear sons and daughters, come and see. This is the prince of Alterac, the god of war, Lu Bu. He once personally participated in killing the orcs' high-ranking warlord Brox Saurfang. He is a rare warrior in our alliance, and I have just accepted him as my godson. From today on, he is your brother."
The God of War Lu Bu smiled and waved at everyone, and the princes and princesses on both sides of the table immediately cast unfriendly glances at him - originally, the family of Terenas had the largest population in the alliance, so why did a godson get involved?
Jon Snow (Prince of Lordaeron): "Prince of Alterac? Didn't your king just die? You're so eager to come here to recognize your father. Haha, you are worthy of being the God of War Lu Bu. Your name is not in vain."
King Meow (Prince of Lordaeron): "Brother, you are not coming here for 'that thing', are you? Just forget it. Our biological sons have not even had their turn yet, so what's the point of you, a godson?"
Barbados (Prince of Lordaeron): "That's right, 'that thing' is the patent of our Prince of Lordaeron, so don't come and join in the fun, just go back to where you should go, the 'fatherly love and filial piety' thing will naturally be done by us, and it is not your turn as an outsider.
Is there no plot left to explore in Alterac?"
Elsa (Princess of Lordaeron): "Barbados, I don't like what you said. What do you mean by the patent of the Prince of Lordaeron? Are we princesses so shameless? The idea of favoring boys over girls . Who said we have no chance? But you are right about one thing. It is not the turn of outsiders, let alone a rookie who doesn't even have gold."
The God of War Lu Bu was immediately furious when he heard this. He had never been so humiliated before. Of course, he was a little guilty in his anger - he felt guilty for having his thoughts exposed.
He was about to slam the table and yell at them, but after glancing at these princes and princesses, he stopped himself from slapping them . Their glittering golden titles were blinding. They were indeed the rich people of Lordaeron. The lowest among these guys were of the first or second gold rank, and there were even several epic heroes.
As a Silver 4, he really doesn't have the confidence to challenge others.
But before he could get angry, Terenas quit.
Terenas (King of Lordaeron): "Shut up, you rebellious sons and daughters, are you unwilling to listen to your father's words? The God of War Lu Bu is a noble prince, a loyal warrior, and a fearless warrior. I will never allow my sons and daughters to insult such a noble prince.
I took him in as my godson because I valued his qualities. Perhaps you don’t know that when , it was he who rescued King Aiden’s body from the chaos.”
Of course, Terenas didn't like God of War Lu Bu that much. The key point was that God of War Lu Bu was the best opportunity for him to intervene in the internal affairs of the Kingdom of Alterac. If he handled it well in the future, he might be able to directly annex Alterac. Naturally, he had to work hard to maintain the relationship with this cheap godson. At least at this stage, God of War Lu Bu was much more valuable to him than those unfilial sons and daughters.
When the princes heard this, they became even more dissatisfied.
Wow, he is indeed a strong enemy. He is the first one to touch the corpse among so many princes and in the melee. It seems that he is not an easy person to deal with.
However, with Tenaris' words, no one dared to speak freely. They could only whisper and remain vigilant.
For a moment, there was an eerie silence at the table, and it was finally broken by the eldest prince.
Godwin (Prince of Lordaeron): "Father, recently many orc assassins have been spotted in and around the capital. According to my investigation, these people were sent by the orc chieftain to carry out assassination missions. The orcs have learned that the top leaders of the Alliance are going to hold a meeting in Lordaeron, so they are preparing to carry out assassination operations to disrupt this meeting."
Orc assassin? The God of War Lu Bu was a little unconvinced when he heard this. That idiot was so fearless that he came to Lordaeron to seek excitement.
He slammed the table and said, "Father, I have just become your son and have not yet made any contributions. Why don't you let me be responsible for capturing these orc assassins?"
But Tenaris did not dare to entrust such an important task to an outsider.
"Capturing orc assassins should not be the responsibility of one person, but everyone. Pass my order to the Adventurer's Guild to issue a mission to capture orc spies and assassins in Lordaeron, regardless of life or death. Anyone who kills an orc assassin will not only be rewarded (experience gold) but also recognized and commended (reputation). If anyone can kill the leader of the orc assassins, I will not hesitate to open the kingdom's treasury and reward them with the most sophisticated weapons and armor (blue equipment reward)."
"It's my father."
When Tenaris left, the princes suddenly became uneasy.
Barbados (Prince of Lordaeron): "Orc assassin? Really? Brother, this is not some trick of yours, is it?"
Godwin (Prince of Lordaeron): "Of course it's true. I killed more than a dozen orc assassins yesterday. Many other people have found traces of orc assassins. You just need to ask around and you'll know."
The princes immediately began to whisper to each other, and without King Tenaris around, they no longer concealed their true feelings.
King Wumeow (Prince of Lordaeron): "God of War Lu Bu, what exactly do you want to do? Are you trying to steal Frostmourne? If you really think so, then you are overthinking. Frostmourne will not be released until the Third War, which will take at least five or six years."
Elsa (Princess of Lordaeron): "Haha, brother twenty-fifth, you are too naive. This game is dynamic and operates in a real way. There is no rule that you have to wait five or six years to get it. Maybe the thing has already been spawned."
King Meowth (Prince of Lordaeron): "So what? If you have the guts, go find it."
Northrend is currently an unopened map. Although you can explore it on your own, you are in the dark and there is no telling what kind of danger you may encounter. Everyone's account has cost millions or tens of millions to build, and it has taken countless efforts and money. You can't just take risks with it.
Many adventurers have been to Northrend, but because the map has not been opened, there is not even a resurrection point in Northrend. Once an adventurer dies, he can only be resurrected in Lordaeron, which is far away. He may go there once every ten days or half a month, but end up dying back after half a day. It is a one-time transaction, and most of the adventurers who went there ended up dying back.
Moreover, the monster levels in Northrend are generally high, and there are no supply points. Even high-level players would have a hard time surviving there, so no one went there after a long time.
Jon Snow (Prince of Lordaeron): "Isn't Varian going to Northrend? Do you think he will get Frostmourne?"
Broken Bridge Misty Rain (Princess of Lordaeron): "That's possible. Historically, Arthas became the sword bearer chosen by the Lich King because of his great potential and because he was a prince who could cause an internal implosion within the Alliance and trigger the Scourge of the Undead.
Varian meets all these conditions, and he might be favored by the Lich King. Varian also has the aura of a protagonist, so we must not let him go. If he gets Frostmourne, what else can we do? If it doesn't work, we might as well just kill him."
Anna (Princess of Lordaeron): "Okay, since you said so, I'll leave this great task to you."
Morgan Lisa (Princess of Lordaeron): "Shut the fuck up, Varian is the one I like. If you want to get him, ask me first."
Elsa (Princess of Lordaeron): "You don't have the final say here. Don't think you can act arrogantly just because you learned a few magic tricks from Eggman."
As he spoke, he glared at her, and a chill suddenly filled the hall.
Morgan Lisa (Princess of Lordaeron): "Hehe, I should say that."
She also glared with her eyes, and a burning aura emanated from her, and the hall suddenly became a mixture of ice and fire.
The God of War Lu Bu was sitting right between the two of them, feeling the increasingly violent magic power around him, and was suddenly frightened. Although they were also magicians, Alterac's brothers who played magic did not have such a terrifying aura at all.
The gap in strength is quite big.
The others, however, did not look nervous at all, as if they were already used to this kind of tense situation. Some gloated over the other's misfortune, some secretly sneered, and some simply sighed.
Old Driver (Prince of Lordaeron): "Damn, you bunch of losers are really not worthy of me. You're already wanting to fight before we even start.
And you guys, even if you set a trap, can you at least be more professional? Can you not be so blatant and kill Varian? Do you think I would step into such a big trap? Even if I wanted to pretend to fall into the trap, it would be inconvenient. Wouldn't that make me look stupid? "
Barbatos (Prince of Lordaeron): "Come on, we are all foxes from the same den, so stop pretending to be so chivalrous. It's not the first time or the second time that we have set traps for each other, and I have never seen anyone fall for it. You quarrel every day, but you are unwilling to take action. You are all waiting for others to be cannon fodder. I think our family will be finished sooner or later.
It’s still the third and fifth brothers who are smart. They ran away early to become city lords, and they don’t need to stay and mess with you bunch of people who are holding them back.”
The God of War Lu Bu became more speechless as he listened to the conversation between these players. He originally thought that the princes of Alterac were already scheming enough, but he didn't expect that compared with the princes and princesses of Lordaeron, they were just a loving family.
He had figured out that there was absolutely no possibility of cooperation among these rich kryptonians, and they were obviously divided into several factions, and there didn't seem to be much unity within the factions.
It seems that it is not a good thing for a group of rich kryptonians to gather together, as no one is willing to be inferior to others.
Godwin on the side shook his head, turned around and smiled helplessly at the God of War Lu Bu, "Sorry, man, I made you laugh. Alas, these brothers and sisters are really troublesome."
