Menethil's Power

Chapter 108 The Shadow of the Uncrowned

After finally calming down the terrified Kalia, Isaacs personally sent the eldest princess back to the bedroom.Looking at the bright moonlight outside the window, the young prince suddenly felt a headache.

This world seems to have never been stable. After the orc war, Lordaeron is facing a new crisis again. Lord Prestor is turning into endless darkness, gradually covering Lordaeron.

As a dragon king who is almost as old as Azeroth, even though the dragon body can barely maintain stability at this time and is completely unable to compare with the ultimate form later, Deathwing still maintains at least a legendary combat power at this time.But this is not to say that Lordaeron is helpless when confronting him. If casualties are not considered, just a Knight of the Silver Hand can hold him back for a long time.

But even if Deathwing has the strength to crush, he doesn't want to confront Lordaeron head-on.Of course, this cunning old dragon knew that strong fortresses were breached from the inside, and seemed to want to use normal means to seek the supreme power of Lordaeron, during which he completely followed the rules of the game for human nobles.

Of course, he will also cheat, such as slightly modifying Terenas' thinking, so that he has a full sense of trust in himself.Unlike complete mind control, Terenas' will was largely free, and Isaacs estimated that even Archbishop Alonsus Faol would not be able to see what Deathwing was doing.

When someone is far stronger than you and the enemy is playing a conspiracy with you, it is really a terrible feeling, because no matter what, the other party is the winner, even if the game fails, it is a big deal to just turn the table over.

As a time traveler, Isaacs is of course not willing to watch Deathwing make troubles, but the question arises, how to deal with this black dragon king who is at the top in terms of strength, IQ and experience?

Isaacs collapsed powerlessly on his big soft bed, feeling sad for a moment, holy light!As a youth under the age of 16, should I think about how to kill such a heavy thing as Deathwing?

Slaying a dragon is impossible, at least not at all right now.The foresight of the traverser is useless in this situation. Even if Isaacs gathers all the high-end combat power of Lordaeron, and then solves the identity of Lord Prestor in person, it is absolutely impossible to keep the other party.The biggest possibility is that the big cousin who became angry from embarrassment destroyed half of the royal city and left.

As for the instigator, Isaacs, he will also receive a portion of the full hatred of a world boss, if he is lucky enough not to be burned to ashes in person by Deathwing.

This kind of face-to-face crusade full of righteousness can't even deal with Onyxia, a little female dragon, let alone her father.

It seems that the only solution is to press into Grim Batol according to the original world line, destroy the dragon soul, and give them back the power that the four dragon kings were tricked into this small golden disc by Deathwing.Together they will push Deathwing back.

In this case, he doesn't seem to need to do anything. According to the inertia of history, Deathwing will automatically roll over in a few years...

Isaacs suddenly opened his eyes. The original timeline was indeed like this, but he seemed to have forgotten a key person, Ronin.

Rhonin should have been still in Dalaran at this time, but because of his own fault, the team was wiped out and he was excluded, so he was sent to Grim Batol to investigate as if he was an abandoned child.Then, it seemed as if the time had come for the former star of annihilation. Not only was it mixed with Deathwing's plan, but it miraculously retreated from the body, and it became Ai because of the accidental destruction of the dragon soul. Hero of Xerath.

Next, his strength soared logically, he saved Dalaran, became an archmage, married Bai Fumei, and reached the pinnacle of his life.

However, in this time and space, all of this seems unlikely to happen again, because the most critical time point has changed, and Luo Ning is no longer the reckless young mage who has no ambitions, but has become his personal assistant to Isaacs.

Isaacs regretted it, I really regretted it, I can't live with my own crimes, why did I get so hot-headed at that time, I aroused a lofty arrogance that the world's talents would be used by me, and directly dug Ronin from Dalaran? ?
Well, it is impossible to kick Rhonin back now. The obligations of this young mage in the original timeline include but are not limited to contacting Krasus, risking his life to spy on Grim Batol, and dealing with Deathwing. In the end, the soul of the dragon that was destroyed under his nose will be transferred to him, Boss Xing.

It's a daunting task, and Isaacs finds out, to his dismay, that he doesn't even enjoy the benefits that Rhonin had in the original timeline-elven girls.Originally, Ronin would meet Vereesa in this mission, but in this time and space, thanks to someone's disturbance, Alleria was dismissed early, and the status of the Windrunner family in Quel'Thalas was linear. Now, it is unknown whether Resa will still receive the commission from Dalaran.

Just as Isaacs was thinking wildly, the door suddenly creaked back a crack, and the young prince immediately sat up vigilantly. Years of wars had made him a good habit of always being vigilant, "Who? ' he asked shortly.

A slender and graceful figure emerged from the darkness, it was Valeera. The delicate face of the female elf had a coquettish beauty against the backdrop of the moonlight.Without saying a word, her eyes blurred, she walked slowly towards Isaacs.

Lonely men and widows get together in a room in the middle of the night, and it seems that something must happen.But Isaacs was very sober. He knew that among the women around him, the independent Valeera was the least likely to throw herself into her arms. When the female elf was nearly two meters away from him, Isaacs did it. He made a pause gesture, "Stop messing around, Valeera." He whispered, "What's the matter?"

The female elf immediately returned to her normal posture, frowning slightly, as if dissatisfied with Isaacs' failure, "There is a big man waiting for you in the reception room." She said briefly.

at this time?Big shot?Isaacs had a thought. He vaguely remembered that Valeera had received special training from a secret organization when she first arrived in the royal city.

Apparently, the presence of Lord Prestor also disturbed some people in the shadows, so they had to temporarily surface,

Five minutes later, Isaacs met with the "big guy".The other party looked like a normal elderly gentleman with a gray beard and a straight body, wearing a tall narrow-brimmed top hat and a pair of silver-rimmed monocles.

However, Isaacs knew this face. Even though he had only met him occasionally at public gatherings before, the young prince still remembered this face. There was no other reason. The identity of this old gentleman was too special.

"Nice to meet you, Duke Ravenholdt." Isaacs said calmly, knowing that sitting in front of him was one of the top assassins in Azeroth.Ravenholdt Manor is almost a holy place for Azeroth's stalkers.

The old gentleman raised his eyebrows in surprise, "I didn't expect you to know my brother." What he said next made Isaacs unable to maintain his apparent composure, "Let me introduce myself, I am Qiram Lord of Ravenholdt, twin brother of Jorach, leader of the Uncrowned, Lordaeron's royal intelligence service."

Isaacs opened his mouth, and the young prince was a little dazed at this moment.It doesn't matter that Duke Ravenholdt, who has always remained mysterious, is a pair of twin brothers, but the Uncrowned Assassins, who became the backbone of the anti-legion in the original timeline, turned out to be Lordaeron's intelligence agency?
Shengguang, as the crown prince of Lordaeron, he didn't even know it before!Based on the SI[-] established in Stormwind, he could guess that there must be a similar intelligence agency in Lordaeron, but he never thought that this organization is the Uncrowned!
However, this seems to be quite normal, an assassin organization whose influence spreads all over the world of Aixing is impossible to emerge out of thin air, it must have its own secret supporters, or former supporters.As the exclusive intelligence agency of Lordaeron, the most powerful member of the alliance, the Uncrowned was transformed into an independent organization after the fall of Lordaeron, which seems logical.

Seeing Isaacs' shock, Duke Ravenholdt explained: "The Uncrowned has always been Lordaeron's top secret, we are only responsible to the king, and only when the new emperor ascends the throne will he know of our existence. The Ravenholdts and Lordaeron have always had a close relationship, and I myself swore allegiance to your father 30 years ago. Jorach's title is a family inheritance, and my duke is the real deal Lordaeron military title." From Qilam's tone, it can be heard that he is quite proud of his brother who is better than him.

Isaacs nodded slowly. His father's ability to sit firmly on the throne for more than 50 years must be far more than just being gentle and calm on the surface.The young prince suddenly felt a little curious. Who is the Duke Ravenholdt who appeared in the Thieves Class Hall during the Ascension of the Legion decades later?

No wonder the Ravenholdt family only maintained superficial respect for their titular lord Alterac, with a posture of obedience and disobedience. Isaacs had always wondered why a fief noble with little real power would Such a drag, there is a big backer of Lordaeron behind the relationship!

"We are the sharp blades in the shadows, and we have been guarding the kingdom with secret means." Duke Qiram Ravenholdt continued, and he suddenly blinked at Isaacs, "Including Your Highness, your security during the war We are in charge."

"However, I was ambushed by several hero-level powerhouses without warning in Quel'Thalas." Isaacs frowned.

Duke Ravenholdt was a little embarrassed, "This is one of the few mistakes made by the Uncrowned. We didn't expect your ability to attract hatred to be so powerful. However, we still made every effort to remedy it. For example, when you Provide General Tirion with your exact position when fighting Zul'jin. And in the ensuing war, I will be personally responsible for your safety."

Isaacs nodded thoughtfully. Duke Ravenholdt's combat strength is at least heroic. With him secretly escorting him, it's no wonder that he felt a little smooth in the second half of the war.

"Then what is the relationship between the League of Assassins at Ravenholdt Manor and the Uncrowned?" He asked one last question.

"Only the best assassins in the League of Assassins will be recruited into the Uncrowned. In addition, the League of Assassins itself is also an important source of information for us."

Isaacs nodded. He understood that the League of Assassins was barely a peripheral organization of the Uncrowned, and Ravenholdt Manor was essentially a training base for stalkers.

He looked at Ravenholdt seriously, "Since these are the most core secrets of Lordaeron, you are telling me these yourself at this time." He was silent for a while, "I guess it is because Lord Prestor Bar."

The atmosphere of the conversation suddenly became heavy, and Ravenholdt nodded, "Your wisdom is amazing. Prestor really troubled us, he seemed to come out of nowhere, even if he launched an assassin For all the assassins in the alliance, we were unable to find out his family background. This in itself is extremely suspicious, not to mention that he gained the king's trust so quickly, there is reason to suspect that he has used some kind of mind control method on His Majesty."

"So you can't judge whether my father is still independent, and you can only find me as the crown prince." Isaacs looked directly at the Duke with piercing eyes.

"Your elf told us that you know the true origin of Prestor." Ravenholdt gestured to Valeera who had been silent.

Isaacs fell silent again, and did not speak for a long time, and Ravenholdt was not in a hurry, and had been waiting patiently.

In the end, the young prince still felt that it was better to be honest with each other. Duke Ravenholdt was obviously trustworthy. "He is Deathwing." Isaacs said slowly.

The Duke didn't show too much surprise, "It's almost the same as what Farad estimated. This is really a cruel fact." He murmured.The horror and madness of Deathwing have long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

farad?Isaacs vaguely remembered the name. Ravenholdt's second-in-command would later prove to be a black dragon, but he was one of the few sane black dragons that could resist the corruption of the ancient gods.

Of course he recognized his former master.

"How many combat powers above the hero level does the Uncrowned have?" Isaacs asked without hesitation.

"Four." The Duke replied without hesitation, "There will be five soon." He looked at Valeera again.

Isaacs couldn't help being a little surprised. The female elf's talent seemed to be surprisingly good, but this was not the time to pay attention to it.

The strength of four heroes and above means that the strength of the Uncrowned is not much weaker than that of the Knights of the Silver Hand. Considering the particularity of the stealth profession, it is still better in some aspects.

"My lord duke, since you came to inform me of such a secret matter in person, you obviously hope that I can take countermeasures." Isaacs said solemnly: "It happens that I have some ideas about how to deal with Lord Prestor, but I need the Uncrowned full support."

Ravenholdt thought for a while, "I'm old, and I can't break my oath of allegiance to Terenas. Even if he is bewitched, I can't stand against him. But I can command the entire Uncrowned I leave the power to you, Your Highness, I hope you will not disappoint me."

Isaacs nodded emphatically.
