Chapter 28 The Death of Lord Aiden Perenold
After the victory in the Arathi Highlands Defense War, the Stromgarde Defense War also won again, and both were great victories.
The two battles that completely drained the foundation of the Kingdom of Stromgarde in history not only did not cause the Kingdom of Stromgarde to decline, but made it stronger.
Iron and blood forged a strong army. The new recruits who had just joined the Arathi Highlands Defense War before, after these two battles, were enough to transform into a truly elite Stromgarde militia.
At the same time, the Kingdom of Stromgarde also announced to everyone in Azeroth that the Kingdom of Stromgarde had not declined, and they could still defend Arathi Highlands and Stromgarde.
The Syndicate and the Stonefist Ogre Alliance were not like the Scourge, all of which were undead controlled by the Lich King. After the complete collapse, a large number of Syndicates and Stonefist Ogres chose to give up resistance and surrender.
Galen Trollbane did not kill the surrendered Syndicate and Stonefist Ogres.
The Stonefist Ogres were just bewitched. The Ogres have simple minds. They submit to the strong and bully the weak. After this failure, they dare not be enemies with the Kingdom of Stormgarde again. These big fat guys are good laborers, except for the disadvantage of being able to eat.
As for the Syndicate, Galen Trollbane dealt with them in different levels. Those ordinary refugees who were bewitched and joined the Syndicate because they had no way out could join the Kingdom of Stormgarde after labor reform.
Those middle-level members of the Syndicate who were deeply sinful were directly sent to the deep labor reform in the mines, and they could only be pardoned after paying a huge price.
The high-level members of the Syndicate and those former Stromgarde nobles who colluded with each other were directly detained in the prison under Stromgarde. They could not see the sun again and could only live with rats in the damp underground until they rotted.
The unforgivable villain was beheaded afterwards.
The two highest-ranking officials of the Syndicate, Lord Aiden Perenolde and Duke Falcurest, who led and planned all this, were missing. It was not so easy to catch the two ninth-level thieves.
This incident also made Galen Trollbane understand two things: First, the lack of Stormgarde's own intelligence department and stalker organization allowed the Syndicate and MI7 to easily sneak into Stromgarde. Second, in addition to the main force of the Stromgarde militia, the garrison troops stationed in the city all year round are also needed.
The most powerful intelligence department in Azeroth must be the Assassin's League in Hillsbrad Foothills next to Arathi Highlands. The MI7 of Stormwind Kingdom is completely incomparable to it. There is a huge difference between the two.
The only ones who can compare with the Assassin's League are the Shadow Council of the old tribe in the past and the Uncrowned in the future.
To set up an intelligence department, a large number of stealth fighters are needed, which is the weakness of the Kingdom of Stormgarde. However, after defeating the Syndicate, Galen Trollbane can recruit refugees from the Kingdom of Alterac to set up an intelligence department, but he still lacks a ninth-level thief who can lead the intelligence department.
"Rex Doom, I have heard about what you have done. If it weren't for you, Stromgarde would have fallen. Thank you for helping Stromgarde." Galen Trollbane had never heard that the Paladin Lord Gavinrad Doom had a son, but this was a pleasant surprise for him.
Galen Trollbane knew almost all of the heroic Paladin Lords. With the current Kingdom of Stormgarde, it is impossible to recruit any of them.
A ninth-level Paladin is already quite rare, and with Gavinrad Doom's age, it is not impossible for him to break through to the heroic level and become a Paladin Lord in the future.
The most important thing is that Rex Doom is a signboard. With him, at least some of the old subordinates of Paladin Lord Gavinrad Doom will come to join Rex Doom.
In this way, the Kingdom of Stromgard can inherit the Paladin Way of the Kingdom of Lordaeron. As long as Galen Trollbane promotes it, the Paladin will become an important part of the army of the Kingdom of Stromgard in the future.
Hearing Galen Trollbane's praise, Rex Doom did not feel proud, but said modestly, "This is what I should do, Prince Galen Trollbane."
"Rex Doom, the Kingdom of Stromgard is now in ruins. I wonder if you are willing to join the Kingdom of Stromgard?" Galen Trollbane directly invited Rex Doom. Since Rex Doom came to Stromgard as a refugee from Lordaeron, there is a great hope that he will join the Kingdom of Stromgard.
Rex Doom performed the highest etiquette of a paladin to the king, kneeling on one knee, with his hand on his chest, and said, "Holy Light, I am willing to join the Kingdom of Stormgarde and pledge allegiance to King Galen Trollbane."
Galen Trollbane has not yet been crowned. Although he is still a prince, he is actually the king of the Kingdom of Stormgarde, so Rex Doom declared his allegiance with the highest etiquette.
First, it was the archmage Ansrem Ruinwevor, and now it is Rex Doom. The addition of two ninth-level masters from Dalaran and Lordaeron has once again increased the strength of the Kingdom of Stormgarde. More importantly, he has toured the way of the mage and obtained the way of the paladin.
What Galen Trollbane didn't know at this time was that it wouldn't be long before the ninth-rank thief of the Kingdom of Alterac would join the Kingdom of Stormgard.
Lord Aiden Perenold fled back to Hillsbrad Foothills in a panic. He wanted to return to Alterac and continue to be his own mountain king from now on. He no longer had the slightest desire to fight against the Kingdom of Stormgard.
Thoras Trollbane crushed Lord Aiden Perenold's pride and destroyed the Kingdom of Alterac. Galen Trollbane crushed Lord Aiden Perenold's courage and made him give up all his delusions and ambitions.
Now Lord Aiden Perenold just wants to gather all the remaining members of the Syndicate and lie in Alterac, and at the same time hope that the Kingdom of Stormgard will not attack Alterac again.
"Your Highness." The figure of Duke Falkurest appeared in front of Lord Aiden Perenold.
Seeing the Duke of Falkurest appear, Lord Aiden Perenolde said with great joy, "Falkurest, you escaped too? That's great. Come on, let's go back to Alterac together. I don't want to fight with the Kingdom of Stormgarde anymore."
"You are right, Lord Aiden Perenolde. We don't have to fight with the Kingdom of Stormgarde anymore." Duke Falkurest said sinisterly, and then took advantage of Lord Aiden Perenolde's inattention and pierced Lord Aiden Perenolde's heart with a dagger.
"Of course the dead don't have to fight, and I will surrender to Galen Trollbane. Aiden Perenolde, don't you understand? Our actions have angered Galen Trollbane. Neither you nor I can escape."
