Live Streaming: Azeroth

Although Steinbrad has long been infiltrated into a sieve by the Syndicate, this town at the foot of Alterac Mountain still nominally belongs to the Kingdom of Lordaeron.

Before the Kingdom of Alterac fell, Steinbrad was a satellite town of the Royal City of Alterac. Its geographical location was very important, and it happened to be stuck at the entrance from Chillwind Hill to the Royal City.

The Syndicate valued Steinbrad very much, as long as they took this town, they could block the marching route from Andorhal to Hillsbrad.

Due to the geographical environment, Steinblade, located at the entrance of the mountain, is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

If the Alterac Trail from Tirisfal Glades to Hillsbrad is cut off, Lordaeron will have to take a long way through Silverpine Forest if they want to enter Hillsbrad again.

Silverpine Forest is an inherent territory of the Kingdom of Gilneas. Given the relationship between Gilneas and Lordaeron, King Jean Greymane could not allow Lordaeron's army to pass through.

After Sharlayan's connection, the Kirin Tor Council headed by Antonidas has secretly made a promise.

As long as the remnants of Alterac can formally capture Steinbrad, Dalaran will join hands with Gilneas to block the Alterac Trail, and arrange heavy guards on the south bank of Lake Lordaeron to prevent the Lordaeron army from crossing the lake. possibility of combat.

Of course, Dalaran is not Gilneas. As a city-state, they don't want to and don't have the confidence to go to war with Lordaeron head-on.

The reason for Dalaran is very good, the family just wants to be tidy.

The seven human kingdoms have lasted for thousands of years.

It is an unforgivable sin for Aiden Perenolde to betray Azeroth and join the Horde, but his personal mistakes should not be passed on to the entire Alterac Kingdom.

In other words, Alterac is not guilty of death, and you Lordaeron did not do it properly. After discussing with several human kingdoms, we decided to set things right and rebuild the kingdom of Alterac.

Thanks to Toterenas' domineering all these years, none of the countries around Lordaeron have a good relationship with them.

As the saying goes, everyone pushes the wall down.

Seeing that Lordaeron might suffer a big loss this time, King Jinn of Gilneas was the first to jump out and prepare to shout "Good death", and Antonidas also hid in the dark behind the scenes to help.

Now the eyes of all countries in the northern part of the Eastern Kingdom are focused on a small Steinbrad, but Lordaeron, which is in internal chaos, still doesn't know anything about it.

Lordaeron's intelligence department vaguely noticed something was wrong, but due to the strict intelligence blockade imposed on Lordaeron by various countries, they still failed to grasp the key points, and could only circle anxiously around the periphery, unable to touch the situation core.

Before setting off from Quel'Thalas, Sharlayan had made a plan to let the elite thieves of Backlighting Blade get in touch with the Syndicate and the Barov family in advance, and the three parties agreed to meet in the town of Steinbrad.

When Sharlayan arrived at Steinbrad, representatives of the Syndicate and the Barov family who were closer had already arrived.

Even with the support of the four human kingdoms and Quel'Thalas, it will not be easy to revive Alterac.

Although both the Syndicate and the Barov family want to rebuild the motherland, their positions are not exactly the same.

The leader of the syndicate organization is the former Alterac Kingdom's Fakurest Duke, who embraces Aiden Perenold's eldest son, Auriden Perenold.

As the in-laws of the Perenold family, the Barov family certainly knew what Auriden was.

Auriden is indeed Aiden's eldest son. When Alterac was destroyed, Auriden was just 10 years old.

After experiencing the disaster of destroying the country, the panic-stricken Oriden was taken away by the Duke of Fakurest, and has been hiding in the countryside of Hillsbrad with anonymity.

Six years have passed, and the grown-up Oriden was unsurprisingly raised as a **** who has no ability to govern the country.

The intention of the Duke of Fakurest is obvious. He just wants to use his identity as a descendant of the Perenold royal family to seek personal benefits.

If the syndicate really leads the revival of Alterac, Auriden, who was pushed to the top, is destined to be Fakurest's puppet.

Besides Oriden, the late King Aiden had a nephew in line of succession, Itherton Perenolde.

After Aiden was executed and Alterac fell, Iserton fled to the Kingdom of Gilneas with the help of his confidants, and he still lives in the city of Gilneas.

Although King Jinn did not participate in the Steinbrad meeting, he also put forward his proposal from a distance, hoping that Itherton could inherit the throne of Alterac.

According to the information provided by Backlight Blade, Iserton was not raised and abandoned like Auriden.

The Greymanes treated him like their nephew, even giving Itherton a royal education with Liam Greymane, Prince of Gilneas.

From this information, it can be seen that Gilneas has long been ready to assist Alterac in its revival.

Whatever King Zeon's original intentions, he did help the House of Perenold raise a young heir of distinction.

Once Alterac is restored and Iserton assumes power, in the foreseeable future, the Kingdom of Alterac and the Kingdom of Gilneas will inevitably maintain a brotherly friendship and jointly resist the pressure from Lordaeron.

The third party trying to compete for the power to inherit the throne is the Barov family, which is related to the Perenold royal family.

Relatively speaking, the Barov family's claims are weaker. Sharlayan tends to let the Barov family support Iserton as the leader, but he doesn't know if Alex Barov can accept it.

If he could get the support of Barov, the largest nobleman in the former Alterac Kingdom, Iserton, who was already quite capable, would be able to suppress the idiot Oriden launched by Duke Faculest.

But this is not enough, Iserton needs more support.

The mayor of Steinbrad was appointed by the Central Lordaeron, and the frequency of replacement can be described as unimaginable.

At the fastest time, Steinblade changed 5 mayors within a year, 4 of whom died unexpectedly, and the last one voluntarily resigned and returned to his hometown, narrowly escaping his life.

Needless to say, it can be guessed that these mayors all died at the hands of syndicate thieves.

Terenas was furious when he knew the inside story, and he wooed another old noble from the Alterac Kingdom—Jorach Ravenholdt Duke.

The Ravenholdt family had a feud with the Farculest family. When the Kingdom of Alterac existed, the two powerful dukes did not fight each other.

Terenas, who is proficient in political means, happened to pinch the Duke of Fakurest by seven inches, and provoked the two former Dukes of Alterac to fight each other.

For a long time there was a bitter rivalry between the Syndicate and the Ravenholdt rogues.

Under the restraint of the Ravenholdt thieves, the safety of the mayor of Steinbrad was finally guaranteed.

But even so, under the various pressures exerted by the Syndicate, the mayor of Steinblad will still change every year.

Before Sharlayan set off, he sent someone to the Ravenholdt Manor to get in touch with Duke Jorach Ravenholdt, but unfortunately the feedback he received was not very optimistic.

Duke Ravenholdt is willing to help rebuild Alterac, but he firmly disagrees with the insects.

Ravenholdt Manor will not provide help for Alterac's restoration unless the Duke of Fakurest can be completely kicked out.

In all fairness, Sharlayan doesn't like the bottomless Syndicate either, and he doesn't like the ambitious Duke Fakurest~www.readwn.com~ But the Syndicate controls a large number of nobles in the original Alterac Kingdom And the people, wanting to rebuild the Alterac kingdom as soon as possible, it is not realistic to kick them away.

Landing outside this snowy town, Valeera quickly caught up with the Backlight Blade thieves who stayed behind, and under their guidance, they arrived at the agreed secret meeting place.

To Sharlayan's surprise, the meeting place arranged by Syndicate was actually in the underground of a Holy Light Church.

This can also explain the extent of Syndicate's penetration of Steinbrad.

Duke Farculest was a bald, middle-aged man, and his figure was very rich, in stark contrast to the starving residents of Steinbrad.

Duke Faculest's first impression on Sharlayan was not very good. This guy deliberately put on a posture of being the only one.

Knowing that Sharlayan was attending on behalf of the Sun King Kael'thas, he was quite arrogant when they met, and "received" Sharlayan with a condescending attitude.

"huh~"

It wasn't just Sarlayan who was dissatisfied with Duke Fakurest's attitude, but an old Mediterranean man in the camp of the Barov family sneered unabashedly.

Perhaps because he is used to living a high life, the Duke of Fakurest has zero tolerance for those who dare to resist him.

He stared at the old man coldly: "Hass, old man, I didn't expect you to be alive, why? Do you think you can challenge the Duke with the support of the Barov family?"

'Haas? '

A flash of inspiration flashed in Sharlayan's mind, and the barrage also exclaimed at this time.
