Remember [New] in a second! Before Stellagosa got angry, Tina urged Sharlayan through the portal.

After half a year, Sharlayan came to Dalaran again, but there were some changes in the people around him.

"Brother Sarlayan, sister Valeera, and... Tina!"

"Jianna!"

The two little friends reunited after a long absence, Jaina temporarily let go of the little Jiujiu in her heart, and chatted with Tina Gosa to reminisce about the old days.

Sharlayan will not stay in Dalaran for a long time this time, he will just pass through here for a while, and then he will change his flight form and rush to Steinbride.

Originally, he had already informed Jaina that she didn't have to come to greet her, but the little girl didn't listen, and she stayed in the teleportation hall early in the morning.

Valeera has already heard about Jaina's decision from the "good girlfriend" little star, and no longer just treats her as a little sister as before, but treats her as a competitor with a straight attitude.

Sharlayan wouldn't be foolish enough to intervene in the Shura field, and he didn't give the plastic sisters room to perform.

"Jianna, let's get together next time when we have time, we have to rush to the destination to perform the mission as soon as possible."

Jaina, who was already 15 years old, was very sensible and did not pester Sharlayan.

"I know, I just want to catch up with an old friend I haven't seen for a long time."

Jaina glanced at Valeera with a formulaic smile on her face, and a sweet smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"Brothers, sisters, and Tina, I wish you all the best of luck, and remember to tell me the story of this adventure when you return."

Tina Gosa doesn't care about any Shura field, this child's mental age may not be as mature as Jaina.

"Okay ~ Jaina, you have to work hard and study, and save me from my sister's clutches as soon as possible!"

Jaina smiled wryly and touched the little dwarf's head: "Don't say that, Sister Stella is also doing it for your own good... Let alone, I should go back and continue my research project."

After saying goodbye to Jaina, the three used the teleportation rune to return to the ground from the floating city.

After leaving the range of Dalaran's magic barrier, Sharlayan skillfully transformed into a yellow and white griffin, carrying Valeera and Tinagosa together into the sky.

Steinbraid originally belonged to the Kingdom of Alterac.

The last king of Alterac, Aiden Perenolde, was executed by the Alliance for betraying Azeroth. Under Terenas' unreasonable and tough methods, the Kingdom of Alterac perished, and all the territories All belong to the territory of Lordaeron.

At least in name.

In fact, the only area that can be fully controlled by Lordaeron is the central axis of Hillsbrad formed by Tarren Mill and Southshore Town, and the control over the towns around Alterac Snow Mountain is very weak.

The original Alterac Royal City had long since declined and was occupied by a group of Frostmaul ogres.

Due to the extreme climate, Lordaeron never thought about taking back the royal city.

The town of Steinbride near the snow-capped mountains is full of fish and dragons. Syndicate thieves haunt the town all year round. The frequency of changing the mayor every year makes Terenas a headache.

Apart from Steinbride, Kael Darrow in the north only belongs to Lordaeron in name, and the real rulers are the Barov family, which has always been in harmony with Lordaeron officials.

According to the information provided by the thieves from the Intelligence Bureau, the syndicates that haunt Steinbride may have been in touch with the Barov family.

The so-called Syndicate was originally established under the leadership of the subjugated Alterac nobles.

The Barov family has always been related by marriage to the Perenold family of the royal family of Alterac.

At the beginning, Terenas made a clear promise that Aiden would push the Barov family to the throne of Alterac after his death, and thus received strong support from the Alterac nobles headed by the Barov family. He cleared many obstacles at home.

Who knew that Terenas, this stinky and shameless old gangster, turned his back on his promise regardless of the face of the Menethil royal family.

After taking control of the overall situation with the help of the Alterac nobles, he kicked the Barov family away and forcibly annexed the entire Alterac.

The hills of Hillsbrad were originally the territory of the Barov family. Terenas promised the Barov family that he would strengthen the trade between Lordaeron and Hillsbrad in exchange for Otto The Kingdom of Rank fully supports Lordaeron in the alliance.

Aleks Barov, who was full of joy, was ready to inherit the throne of Alterac, but what he expected was the sad news that Alterac was completely annexed by Lordaeron.

There is one thing to say, Terenas's move was too rough, which aroused the extreme hatred of the nobles of the original Alterac Kingdom.

In the original history, many years after the fall of Lordaeron, the Syndicate was still running around, trying to revive their kingdom.

Unfortunately, these Alterac nobles went the wrong way from the beginning.

Using violence to control violence can only make oneself a part of the violence in the end, and can't really win people's hearts.

This trip to Steinbride, Salayan's ostensible purpose is to find Meri Dongfeng, but in fact he has two hidden purposes.

One is to find out the secrets hidden by Emperor Thoradin, and the other... is to add trouble to Lordaeron.

Since an all-out conflict with Lordaeron would break out sooner or later, Sharlayan planned to take the opportunity to create something for Lordaeron's rear.

The Syndicate has no wealth and manpower, but is limited by a bad image, and it is impossible to truly revive Alterac.

But the Barov family is different.

Although they can't avoid hooking up with Syndicate secretly, at least their image on the surface is still positive.

If you want to revive the kingdom of Alterac and deprive the fertile territory of Hillsbrad from the territory of Lordaeron, the best choice is to cooperate with the Barov family.

In its heyday, the Barov family owned the three major towns of Taren Mill, Southshore and Brill, and they were truly the strongest nobles in Alterac.

After the fall of Alterac, Terenas took the opportunity to seize the territory of the Barov family, leaving them nothing.

Due to Lordaeron's strong military strength, the Barov family dared not speak out, and could only knock out their teeth and swallow their blood.

In the original history, out of hatred for Lordaeron, Alex Barov did not hesitate to take refuge in Kel'Thuzad when the Sect of the Damned came to preach, and built the Barov Castle in the Kael Darrow region. It became the most important stronghold of the Cursed Sect.

Commonly known as...Spiritual Academy.

Regardless of the fact that Lordaeron still holds strong military strength, internal and external troubles are gradually eroding this once extremely powerful first kingdom of mankind.

The disagreement between the Stratholme region and the central government has long been apparent. Due to Terenas' previous series of slapstick operations, the Abbendis family who sits in the hands of Tyre has also developed a lot of dissatisfaction with the royal family of Menethil.

Undercurrents are surging in the large East Weald area. Even without the instigation of the Dreadlord, the disagreement between the local government and the central government will sooner or later lead to a serious crisis.

What Sharlayan needs to do is to add fire to Lordaeron.

There are people in Syndicate who are rich, and Barov is famous and landed.

If these two Alterac survivor organizations with different ideas can be kneaded together, the revival of the Alterac Kingdom is not entirely impossible.

The army led by Dathrohan has withdrawn to the royal city of Lordaeron, and Lordaeron's military strength in the Hillsbrad area has been greatly weakened.

Most of the defenders of the Hills are stationed in the west, facing off against the Gilnean army beyond the border.

Sharlayan intends to try to persuade the Barov family and the Syndicate with his three-inch tongue to ignite a prairie fire in Lordaeron's rear.

Of course, the premise is that he can come up with a bargaining chip that satisfies both parties. It is impossible for the empty-handed white wolf, otherwise it will not be Sarlayan's turn to operate.

During the half a year of preparation, Sharlayan had secretly consulted the Regent Councils of Dalaran, Kul Tiras, Gilneas, and Stormgard regarding the revival of Alterac.

During Thoras' reign, the Kingdom of Stormgard had coveted the fertile hills of Hillsbrad.

Time has passed, and now Stormgard is too busy to take care of himself, and has no spare energy to enter the next door.

Gilneas had also thought about continuing to expand its territory, but the isolationism that the Greymane family has always pursued finally prevailed.

If it wasn't for the thought of adding obstacles to Terenas who once put him together, King Jin wouldn't have sent troops out of Greymane's Wall to garrison at the edge of Silverpine Forest.

Among the four kingdoms with related interests~lightnovelpub.net~, two human kingdoms with territorial borders first agreed, and Dalaran and Kul Tiras, which have no demand for land, naturally would not object.

Kingdom of Stormwind?

It's nothing to do with his Wrynn family, so far away, it's not up to the Stormwind Kingdom to point fingers if they have opinions.

After receiving the explicit and covert support of the four nations, Sharlayan began to formally plan for the revival of Alterac.

Once the plan is successful, there will be an uncomfortable spike on the back of Lordaeron's buttocks. With the Alterac nobles' hatred for Lordaeron, they will never make Lordaeron feel better.

With the support of the four surrounding human kingdoms and the extraterritorial power Quel'Thalas, even if Lordaeron wants to send troops to force it, it has to weigh more.

After hearing Sharlayan's plan, Valeera glanced in the direction of Lordaeron sympathetically.

"If you commit evil yourself, you can't live."

"No."

A sarcastic smile curled up on the corner of Sharlayan's mouth: "To be precise, we should give more help to those who are righteous, and less help to those who are unjust."
