Chapter 173 Perfect Murder

At an altitude of 1,000 meters above the sea west of Stormwind City, Lothar led his team of Griffin Knights and flew at high speed following Duke's Griffin.

"Is the news true?"

"When my Naga passed the news to me, I have notified you and His Majesty Ryan as soon as possible. We must hurry up, otherwise we can only collect the corpses for those guys."

When he heard Duke running to say that the noble fleet was under attack, for a moment, Lothar instinctively wondered whether it was caused by Duke.

It's very simple, as the upstart of the Stormwind Kingdom, Duke has always been at odds with the traditional nobles. Even the Brando family, which had a direct conflict with Duke, did not show signs of reconciliation in any official occasion.

Face and heart are at odds, even if you want to stab you a thousand times in the back and insert steel needles into every finger of yours, the nobles in front of others will still maintain their elegance and demeanor.

If Lothar hadn't had the blood of Emperor Thoradin and Ryan's friendship as a talisman, perhaps even Lothar himself had been killed in a dark corner of Stormwind City, and his body was rotting.

Duke... Although Lothar trusted him, he still couldn't see through Duke.

When the frontal battle was so tense, Duke had no need to deceive him and Ryan, and fabricated an attack on nobles to transfer him.

Lothar also had to save these nobles. After all, in all human kingdoms, nobles are known as the cornerstone of the country. There is even a saying in the high society of many kingdoms: "The useless pariah can die, as long as there are wise and brave nobles, Even if the country is destroyed, it can be revived again."

Lothar didn't want to save, but had to.

As for Anduin and Duke, this is already the only card that Ryan, who lacks a navy, can play.

"Duke, isn't your Naga escorting the fleet?"

"Please, I only have more than a hundred Naga and a few thousand garbage murlocs. Please, this route is nearly 1,000 nautical miles! How big a territory do you expect to be able to control? But I let them go. But look at the itinerary, We'll be there first."

The attack on the noble fleet was indeed a blind spot in his thinking and that of all the top leaders of the Stormwind Kingdom. To say it was a blind spot, it was better to say that the orcs' offensive was too powerful, which attracted all their attention.

Just by imagining it, you will know that such a weak guard is full of thousands of years of wealth from various noble families, so it is abnormal not to attract the prying eyes of pirates, right?

Lothar stopped talking, and followed Duke silently with more than 30 Griffin Knights.

Duke really didn't detour, and rushed to the scene almost straight.

That was already an hour after the bloodsail pirates fought the noble fleet.

The chaos at the scene made Lothar confused about the situation.

More than twenty bloodsail pirate ships dared not approach the battle group in the middle. In the battle group, almost every two bloodsail pirate ships sandwiched a warship of the Stormwind Kingdom, launching a white soldier battle.

It was a pity that the ships on the periphery were tasteless and discarded as if they had encountered chicken ribs. They neither dared to fire guns, nor did they dare to send pirates to help their own ships.

Because every battleship was caught in a melee, and the protagonists of the melee were not noble private soldiers, bloodsail pirates, naga or murlocs, but fiends exuding fiery heat.

Driving the griffin and circling half a circle above, Lothar's face turned blue.

If the Bloodsail pirates had released demons to attack the nobles of the Stormwind Kingdom, Lothar would have jumped down to do justice for the heavens without saying a word.

Obviously, it was the bloodsail pirates who were slaughtered now.

The blue-skinned, burly demon guards are extremely dazzling in the sun. They wield huge axes, and with their outstanding combat talent, they laughed wildly on the swaying ship, wantonly beheading the bloodsail pirates whose morale had collapsed.

The scene was like a butcher chasing a fat pig huddled in a pigsty with a bloody knife. The death of the pig is only a matter of time.

So, the devil was released by the nobles?

However, seeing many noble private soldiers and noble corpses lying on the deck, Lothar knew that things were not that simple.

At this moment, Duke sneered in his heart.

right!

The situation in front of him was directed by him alone!

It took him a full three months to let Markaro secretly collect the common people's evaluations of the major nobles in the Stormwind Kingdom, and corroborate them one by one. After mastering a large number of noble evidence, he made a death list.

Of course, Fam Brando and his family are at the top of his must-kill list. The next in line is the ally of the Brando family.

As a time traveler, Duke is very clear about the pissing nature of the nobles, and what these guys who are greedy for life and fear of death, and greedy for money will do when their lives are threatened.

Duke had been waiting for this day for a long time.

After the opening of the Dark Portal, he contacted the Bloodsail Pirates in the southern part of Stranglethorn Vale early on through covert means. As an ambitious aristocratic butler trying to get a piece of the pie, tell them how the aristocrats will transport their millennium wealth.

Duke also thought about what would happen if the Stormwind Kingdom's navy was involved. At that moment, Duke also hesitated, he didn't want to kill a good person by mistake.

But God gave Duke another golden opportunity.

Those were a group of nobles rescued by Windsor from Karazhan.

Baron Laffer Drooger

Earl Crispin Ferrence

Countess Dorothy Mills Deep

Countess Catriona Vinindi

...

Duke is familiar with each of these guys.

Why?

Because these guys were originally part of the "Warcraft" game Karazhan, the second boss butler Moros's little bosses!

In Duke's perception, when he saw these guys, they were already undead. For example, Laffer Drugger will use the paladin's [Sanction] skill, he should be the father of Jules Druggel, the deputy mayor of Night Town in the Dusk Forest...

Duke knew about it the moment he came out of Karazhan. He really couldn't believe that these guys who were supposed to be one of the bosses escaped unscathed from Karazhan full of demons.

Duke took the opportunity to approach several of them. Just like when Duke used the system elves to discover that Medivh, who was possessed by Sargeras, had a problem.

In the retina, the boss templates of these guys were marked with the word 'devil'. Duke almost burst out laughing.

Yes, these demons were part of Duke's insurance policy. It can be ensured that even if some great detective is so powerful and finds evidence of his collusion with the Bloodsail Pirates one day, Ryan will not blame him for this matter.

Demons were introduced by the nobles themselves.

Who can be blamed for leading wolves into the house by oneself?

Perhaps, the more it is because of this, the more the Stormwind Kingdom has to cover up the disaster of 'most of the kingdom's nobles are demons'.

In the final analysis, maybe this is a murder that used to be like walking on thin ice. If one link goes wrong, Duke's hard-earned reputation will no longer exist.

But after Duke implements [Perfect Murder] to the end, he will be able to establish a perfect ending that is beneficial to the entire kingdom and even all mankind. After the goal is achieved, the truth of this murder will never need to be revealed.
