When the situation developed to this point, Sharlayan realized that he had underestimated the negative feelings of other human kingdoms towards Lordaeron.

Lordaeron has been firmly seated as the first kingdom of mankind for hundreds of years. With its vast territory and geographical environment extending in all directions, Lordaeron has developed faster than any human kingdom.

The maritime trade of Kul Tiras guaranteed their economic income and naval strength, but there is one thing to say, Kul Tiras' land combat capabilities... can only be said to be okay, and they cannot maneuver like they do on the sea.

The territory of Gilneas is not small, and the geographical location is not bad. Their shortcoming... is people.

Yes, it was you, Greymane.

The Greymane family has always pursued isolationism, and Jean has a very stubborn temper, which is typical of seeing a coffin without shedding tears.

If Gilneas opens its doors, their development speed will not be much slower than that of Lordaeron.

It's a pity that this idea cannot be realized, unless the stubborn Gene has learned a heart-wrenching lesson.

Stormgardwood has abundant virtue, and its military strength alone is no worse than that of Lordaeron.

Their problems are economically, and Stormgard is without a doubt the poorest of the Seven Kingdoms of Mankind.

The problem of the economic crisis had already begun to emerge when Solas took power, and Garin stepped on the gas pedal even more after he came to power.

Alterac has a small territory and a harsh living environment, and its overall national strength has been sluggish in the second half of the Seven Kingdoms.

Not to mention Dalaran, it's just an independent city-state, and they can't turn the sky on their own.

The only human country that can compete with Lordaeron is the Kingdom of Stormwind, which is located alone in the southern part of the mainland.

In fact, before the orcs invaded, with the guardian of Tirisfal Medivh escorting them, the national power of the Stormwind Kingdom had already surpassed that of Lordaeron.

The young and vigorous King Ryan was planning to work hard with his two little friends, when a black pot suddenly fell from the sky and smashed the mighty Stormwind Kingdom into the last of the seven human kingdoms, and it still hasn't recovered.

Leaving aside the Stormwind Kingdom far to the south of the mainland, among the six human kingdoms rooted in the north, the Lordaeron family dominates, and the other five kingdoms have more or less been oppressed by Lordaeron.

This grievance lasted for hundreds of years. After the Second Orc War ended, the national strength of Lordaeron, which had enjoyed the dividends of the war, was in full swing, and other countries could only live with their tails between their legs.

After several successive decision-making mistakes, all countries have seen the trend of Lordaeron turning from prosperity to decline.

After finally catching an opportunity to run on Lordaeron, the Five Kingdoms naturally retaliated with grievances and revenge, desperately wanting to step on Lordaeron's head.

As the barrage said, the Scourge has already begun to show its strength in Icecrown Glacier, and the Burning Legion and the Old Gods are still hiding behind the scenes and watching.

Once Lordaeron encounters a situation where the wall is toppled and everyone pushes it, the entire northern part of the eastern kingdom will be in chaos.

You can guess with your toes, those guys hiding in the dark and waiting for an opportunity will definitely take this opportunity to jump out and make a big fuss. This is not the result Sharlayan wants to see.

After Valeera left, Sharlayan transformed into a sharp-tailed swift and flew to Barov Castle in Caer Darrow at the latest speed.

The sharp-tailed swift, not as large as a raptor, did not attract much attention when it landed on the walls of Barov Castle.

Several young guards staying in the castle looked curiously at this little bird that was not afraid of people. When Sharlayan transformed into a human form, they were almost so frightened that they sat down on the spot.

"Don't be nervous. I'm Sharlayan Deep Shadow, Alex's friend. Please tell me that I have an urgent visit."

…

Following a well-dressed butler into the castle, Sharlayan looked at the layout of the castle with great interest.

The Barov family is indeed an ancient family that has existed for thousands of years, and the description of being incomparably rich does not exalt them at all.

As a descendant of aristocrats, Sharlayan has a good appreciation for furniture and decorations from childhood.

Most of the furniture in Barov Castle was expensive, and the overall style was luxurious but not high-profile. They did not like to use gold to show their luxury like the nouveau riche, and the overall tone of the castle layout was purple.

The servants encountered along the way are respectful and polite, neither humble nor overbearing.

Such a high-quality servant can get good scores even if they are placed in the homes of the nobles in Quel'Thalas with a longer history and higher style.

Alex was not idle when working in his castle.

After Sharlayan and Valeera took Ravenholdt and the Syndicate thieves to clean up the "garbage" along the way, the Barov family successively transported several batches of weapons, equipment and food to Chillwind Post, further strengthening the Chillwind Post. The combat effectiveness of soldiers.

When Sharlayan saw Alex in the luxurious and low-key living room, he was still concentrating on reading the documents in his hand.

"Boom~"

The steward who had ushered Sharlayan tapped twice on the open door.

"Master Alex, here are the distinguished guests."

"Huh? Oh oh!"

Only then did Alex loosen his frowning brows, put down the documents in his hand and stood up to greet him.

"Earl Deep Shadow, I'm busy with business, I'm sorry to welcome you, please sit down."

Sharlayan smiled and nodded to Alex, and glanced at the documents on the table out of the corner of his eye.

'Peace talks... what book? '

Sharlayan's heart moved, but he didn't show any clues on the surface.

'On purpose? So, Lordaeron already has plans for peace talks? '

Six years ago, Alex, who was determined to revitalize Alterac, was put together by Terenas, and the Barov family also suffered a big loss.

Since then, the Barov family has cut off contact with Lordaeron officials, with an attitude of never getting in touch with each other.

Terenas knew he was wrong, and after swallowing Brill, Tarren Mill, and Southsea Town, he was too embarrassed to contact the Barov family again.

Because of Alex's strange behavior, the Barov family established contact with Andorhal by mistake.

Before Sharlayan could speak, Alex pointed to the document on the table and said without hesitation: "This is the letter of intent for peace talks sent by Andorhal. Do you want to see Earl Deep Shadow?"

Sharlayan waved his hand: "This is a matter between Alterac and Lordaeron, and it is not convenient for me, an outsider, to check."

Alex was not surprised by this, he briefly described the attitude of Lordaeron.

"The old man Terenas was ill in bed some time ago, and Arthas took the opportunity to do a lot of tricks, which damaged the reputation of the royal family of Menethil."

"Therefore, Terenas wants to use this war to reshape the authority of the royal family and subdue those nobles and ministers who are eager to weaken the royal power."

"From the standpoint of Terenas, if the situation is not so hopeless that there is no hope of victory, he will not consider retreating."

"But this does not mean that there are no voices for peace within Lordaeron."

Alex's expression turned serious from gloating at the beginning: "On the contrary, senior officials of Lordaeron, including the prime minister, saw something was wrong from the long-term intelligence blockade."

"They jointly signed a letter, suggesting that Terenas suspend the war and first find a way to rebuild Lordaeron's intelligence system."

"Blindfolded and stuffed ears to fight with others is tantamount to asking for death."

Sharlayan asked with interest: "So? Did Terenas agree?"

"agreed."

A sarcasm curled up at the corner of Alex's mouth: "But he obviously didn't invest enough in rebuilding the intelligence system. He made it clear that he wanted to regain his place on the battlefield, and he didn't want to give in to the ministers."

Sharlayan shook his head: "As the saying goes, the older you get, the more stubborn you become. There is indeed some truth to this saying."

Alex sneered and said: "Let Terenas continue to dream his dream, he is afraid that he will suddenly wake up and try to turn around if he hits his head badly."

"But when it really comes to that time~www.readwn.com~ it's not up to him to decide whether to cease the war."

Sharlayan's expression became serious: "That's why I came here... Alex, if this war is allowed to expand infinitely, what do you think will be the final result?"

Alex withdrew the sneer on his face, bowed his head thoughtfully and pondered for a moment.

"You mean... accept it as soon as it's good?"

Sharlayan nodded approvingly: "That's right, the so-called war is nothing more than a continuation of politics, and it is a last resort."

"The purpose of Alterac is to force Lordaeron to make concessions and admit that Alterac will be restored. It is not to completely defeat Lordaeron, thereby causing a large-scale chaos for the Eastern Kingdom."

"Um…"

Alex has personal grievances against Terenas, but as the head of the clan and the oldest elder nobleman in the Kingdom of Alterac, Alex must consider the interests of the family and the country, and cannot let Personal grievances get carried away.

The Barov family is good at management, and a relatively peaceful international situation is indispensable if they want to obtain a good business environment.

It is true that many families that started out as businesses were happy to make a fortune during the war, and integrity and conscience were dispensable for them.

But the business is so big that the Barov family can affect the overall international situation, so Alex doesn't want to take risks for a little profit.

Compared with making war fortune, he prefers to make money steadily in a peaceful environment.

"Sharlayan, what do you mean, let us continue to keep in touch with Lordaeron's peace faction, and even support their will to overwhelm Terenas?"
