He nodded, quite satisfied with his wit.

"This will keep each soldier busy with his mission and not run down the path of the tribe."

Haas nodded stiffly.

"I will deploy our soldiers there immediately, my lord."

"That's good." Perinold gave the general the warmest smile he could to show that he had forgiven everything before. "You'd better get them all moving now. I don't want our men on the march when the Horde arrives."

The officers saluted and all left the map room—except Haas.

"Anything, General?" Perenold asked in a very tired voice.

"There is a messenger, my lord," replied the general. "From the Union. You were... resting when he came. He was waiting outside, my lord."

"Let him come in at once," replied Perinold. "Have you spoken to him?"

"Just who sent him," Haas said. "I understand you want to be the first to know what he brings."

When he said this, the general had already stood at the door of the map room, beckoning to someone waiting outside. A dusty young messenger in leather armor walked in, looking nervously at the ground.

"My lord," said the young man, raising his head and then lowering it immediately. "I bring greetings and news from the Alliance Commander, Lord Anduin Lothar."

Perenold nodded, put on his cloak and walked beside the young man.

"Thank you General, it's all right now," he said to Haas, and the General looked relieved as he closed the door and left the room.

"Now, young man," continued Perenold, turning to the messenger, "what news have you brought?"

"Lord Lothar said you should take your army to Lordaeron," the young messenger replied nervously. "The Horde will probably attack there, and your army must go to support the defense there."

"I see." Perinold nodded, touching his chin with one hand and placing the other on the messenger's shoulder. "Does he want you to go back and report us?" he asked.

The messenger nodded.

"I see," Perenold said again. "It's a pity."

He turned to the young messenger, grabbed him with his arm, and attacked him with a dagger in the other hand. The blade penetrated the ribs and pierced into the heart of the messenger, and the messenger fell to the ground almost instantly and died.

"It would be nice if it was a written message," Perinold whispered to the corpse.

The king has completely gone on the road of betraying the alliance.

Chapter 0576 The plight of the Barov family

The Barov family, a great noble in Alterac, was in a dilemma at this time.

As one of the most powerful nobles in Alterac, and even the entire human society, the Barov family originally controlled the vast land and infinite wealth east of the Alterac Mountains.

Brill, Tarren Mill, Keldaron... Half of the Kingdom of Alterac are their fiefs, but in terms of territory and wealth, even the royal family of Alterac is not much more than them. Their The power has already reached the limit that a noble can achieve.

In addition, they have the blood of the first empire of mankind, the royal family of the Arathi Empire, and the people in the family live in Keldaron County - the old castle of the Arathi nation, continuing this ancient and noble tradition. family lineage.

In this noble family that occupies half of Alterac, the head of the family, Alex Barov, is the only duke of Alterac, and is so powerful that even Aiden Perenold will seek him out Policy recommendations - but the relationship between the two behind it is unknown.

Alex's wife, Janice Barov, is a Dalaran archmage who specializes in illusion magic.

When she was young, she was also a generation of talented women in Dalaran, and was pursued by countless people, but after marrying Alex, she gradually shifted her focus to the family, and only occasionally returned to Dalaran.

By the way, Ye Ting, who is also the Dalaran Archmage, actually had a relationship with this Lady Janice.

Alex and Janice have a total of two sons and one daughter. The two sons are about the same age and are just coming of age. They are Wilton Barov and Alex Barov. However, the two brothers have a bad relationship and often Because of the conflict of inheritance rights.

The daughter is named Ilusia Barov, and her age is similar to Jaina. Coincidentally, she also has a good magic talent like Jaina.

Originally, with its huge wealth, the Barov family had a very respected position in the human kingdom, but wealth did not mean true power.

In times of peace, the Barov family can maintain their position and respect by virtue of wealth and fame.

However, once you enter the war, then no matter how great your fame and wealth are, it is not as useful as real power.

Perhaps it is for this reason that after the establishment of the alliance, the Barov family donated a lot of wealth to the alliance, hoping that the alliance can keep the tribe out of the territory, at least not to invade the territory of the Barov family.

Their wish was originally able to come true-until Orgrim crossed the Poisonous Mist Canyon under Ye Ting's design and entered the realm of Alterac.

The territory of the Barov family fell almost without resistance, and the members of the Barov family had to be trapped in the lake fortress of Darrow Mill Lake, Keir Darrow County.

With the benefit of the lake, the Barov family was temporarily able to survive under the siege of the tribe, waiting for the support of the alliance. For this reason, when defending against the attack of the orcs, they still lost their father and husband in the family - Alec S Barov.

Now, it is Janice who presides over the castle. Generally speaking, in the case of an adult child, the widow of the noble will directly hand over the family power to the child who is the heir, but Janice is an exception.

On the one hand, since Wilton and Alex were of the same age and ability, and Alex did not decide on his successor before his death in battle, the Barov family was about to fall apart on the issue of inheritance, and Janice had no choice but to Come forward.

On the other hand, although Janice herself is a noble lady, she is also a powerful and respected archmage. This identity not only helped the duke to gain great benefits in the aristocratic communication during Alex's lifetime, but also allowed him to Lady Janice herself has gained power in the Barov family far beyond that of ordinary ladies.

With the help of Janice's magic, the Barov family really doesn't have to worry too much about the orcs.

However, the current Barov family is caught in a quarrel over another issue.

Just a day ago, the orcs who were stationed on the shore of Lake Darrowmere and would harass them every three days, accidentally sent a messenger to them.

The Horde messenger brought them amazing news-Aiden Perenold, the king of Alterac Kingdom, decided to surrender to the Horde and help the Horde attack the Alliance.

The messenger also brought a handwritten letter from King Aiden, which was full of Aiden's self-defense of betrayal and his words of persuasion to the Barov family.

As members of the Barov family, they could naturally see that the letter was indeed written by Aiden himself-they were all too familiar with the king's handwriting and seal.

However, unlike the ordinary nobles and officers who were loyal and obedient to Aiden.

The Barov family has always been on the same level as the Alterac royal family. Their relationship is not so much a monarch and a minister, but a collaborator.

You must know that thousands of years ago, it was the support of the Barov family that allowed the Perenold royal family to break away from the Arathi Empire at that time and establish the Kingdom of Alterac on its back.

Therefore, the Barov family naturally has its own decision on whether to surrender to the tribe.

Regardless of righteousness or evil, or whether or not to betray humanity, this decision is actually a huge gamble for the Barov family.

The stake is precisely the fate of the Barov family.

The bet is who will have the last laugh between the Alliance and the Horde.

Perhaps it was because this matter was so important to the Barov family that Wilton and Alex saw it as another opportunity to decide who would be the heir of the family.

Among them, Alex is more inclined to join the Horde. In his opinion, with the help of the Kingdom of Alterac, the Horde can easily cross the defense line of the Alliance from the Alterac Mountains and go straight to the core of the Alliance, the Kingdom of Lordaeron. The capital city of Lordaeron, captured there, the tribe basically established the victory.

In this regard, Wilton held an objection. He felt that the results of a series of wars between the Horde and the Alliance all showed that the Alliance had to be superior, and the calm and sophisticated Losaga's unrestrained Sand Lever could undoubtedly lead the Alliance to defeat the barbaric orcs. , and at the same time he is not inclined to take refuge in savage aliens.

The two sides insisted on their own words. After the messenger of the tribe left, they had been arguing for a day, and they were almost going to fight.
