Azeroth Shadow Trail

Chapter 530 83. Ambitious is always a good thing

General Bu Laike Moore has always paid attention to training. After he became a general, he did not let go of his martial arts practice.

He was in good health, and in Laike's perception had the vitality of a high-ranking fighter.

So his ugly face is definitely not because he is not feeling well.

It was because the request made by the pirates was completely like hitting a snake and hitting seven inches, and it hit the most irresistible thing that General Braike Moore could not give up.

He's always been a man with a plan.

His background was bad, his father was a traitor of Lordaeron, he came to the Kingdom of Stormgard when he was young, and it took more than twenty years to build his own identity and status from scratch.

His pursuit of power was full of dangers, and he almost died on the battlefield several times.

His past efforts fully deserved his current position.

But the problem is that Bo Laike Moore's ambition is not to be a general, what he desires is to go further.

Reaching his current position with his tainted background is almost the limit of his struggle.

No matter how high the circle is, he will not be accepted.

If he wants to become a big man who can really stir up the situation, he must find another way.

When he adopted the little orc Thrall, all he wanted in his mind was to use this orc to discover the weaknesses of his compatriots in exchange for military merit.

Then he discovered Thrall's natural intelligence and changed his mind.

Your Excellency the General is a very far-sighted person. He foresees that if the alliance wins, then how to settle the huge number of orcs will be a big problem.

He began to train Thrall in his own way, to train him into a strange guy with an orc appearance and a human soul.

He intends to use Thrall as a "new orc template" in order to prove to the alliance's top management that there is another way to rationally use orcs besides massacres and hard labor.

He knew that this would win him a brighter future.

But people's minds can change.

Especially after seeing Thrall's astonishing potential, a thought that should not have arisen in His Excellency the General's heart. He has fought in the orc wars, and he has seen the scenes of those violent orcs under the leadership of their respective chiefs defeating the elite of mankind.

He was very clear about the destructive power of the orcs. In his opinion, the reason why the orcs failed was because they had problems in strategy, not tactics.

So, what if he was manipulating Thrall behind the scenes to command this group of destructive orcs?

With his own strategic level, he may not be able to reach the level of the orc army overthrowing the alliance, but he has seized a large area of ​​land in the southern part of the mainland to build his own country, and after recuperating, he will make another big invasion.

As long as you are careful enough! Don't follow the old path of the Horde. With the weakened alliance power after the war, I am sure to push the front line to the front line of Khaz Modan.

In that case, he would have a territory three times larger than the Stormwind Kingdom, and he would be eligible to wear a crown of a king, or even an emperor!

Once this taboo thought appears, it cannot be contained.

General Bo Laike Moore has repeatedly deduced it with his outstanding military skills. His plan seems deviant, but as long as he seizes the time and waits for the fragile alliance to fall apart, the probability of his success is at least 70%!

He began to train Thrall more attentively, imparting all his military experience, and taking advantage of his position, he brought the six large shelters in the Hillsbrad Hills area into his management.

He didn't abuse these orc captives like others, he needed them to maintain a certain fighting capacity.

At the same time, he wants to eliminate those factors that threaten his plan.

The most important one, the one that must be eliminated, is Anduin Lothar!

The Old Field Marshal and the Alliance have turned the Horde orcs of Commander Orgrim Doomhammer head-on.

No matter how confident Braike Moore is, he doesn't think he can match Orgrim. If Orgrim loses to Lothar, he will never succeed anyway.

From this point of view, Your Excellency the General is indeed very self-aware, and he knows how to endure and judge the situation. He is so much higher than those arrogant careerists.

So when he received some "secret orders" from the country, His Excellency the General was overjoyed, he accepted the order without hesitation, and began to secretly contact Ravenholdt's master assassin.

For your own big plans.

Lothar must die!

But now, Bu Laike Xiao, who suddenly appeared, made two demands on him as an old friend.

Give up participating in the conspiracy against Lothar.

And hand over all the orcs in your hands.

Can the general agree?

Of course not!

What Bu Laike wants is not the orc captives in his hands, what he wants is the "great future" that Bu Laike Moore has planned for himself! What he wants is the ambition and dream of General Bo Laike Moore!

What the pirate wanted was a crueler future than taking his life.

And he actually claimed that he came in the name of "salvation", how shameless!

"I cannot grant you this dreadful request, my friend."

Even though his heart was extremely angry, General Braike Moore still maintained his appearance. He said in a very calm, business-like tone:

"The establishment of a shelter and the detention of greenskin captives is a decision made by all the kings of the alliance. It is an alliance regulation formed across a single country. Not to mention me, even His Majesty Solas has no right to hand over the orcs. captive.

As the general of the Kingdom of Stormgard, I cannot make decisions in private.

You can take those captives, but you have to show me the orders stamped by at least four kings and the pope himself. "

"Well, so when I talk to you about human relations, you want to talk to me about law?"

The pirate curled his lips, but he wasn't too disappointed.

He shook the wine glass in his hand, and said to General Bu Laike Moore sitting opposite him:

"Don't think about it again, my friend.

The people of Gilneas are very open-minded. Darius, the northern lord who is in charge of managing the shelter, readily agreed to my mentor's trade request.

You know, the people of Gilneas have been extremely dissatisfied with the wealth consumed by the long war.

They are not willing to use their precious land to detain a group of green skin captives who have no contribution but to eat.

I think that if you take the initiative to apply to His Majesty Thoras Trollbane, His Majesty the King of Stromgarde and his courtiers will acquiesce in your actions. "

"maybe."

Your Excellency the General held up his wine glass in a somewhat dispirited manner, and replied in a formulaic way:

"But I'm a soldier, Lord Laike. I can't promise you anything until I get an order. As for little Taresa, take it with you.

This girl is very smart, if her background is better, she might be able to enter Dalaran and become a mage.

She stays with me, and I can't give her better treatment. "

While talking, Your Excellency the General stood up, took out a silver card from his drawer, and handed it to the bewildered Taresa. He used an elder tone, and said to the person in front of him who had just made a "gift" by himself a few days ago. "The little girl who sent it out said:

"Take this little money as the reward for the Foxton family's service for so many years. You take it with you, and remember to buy a few more clothes for yourself after following Lord Laike to a new place.

Don't wear those old clothes, so as not to embarrass Master Bu Laike.

If you still miss your hometown, remember to send a few letters back. "

After hearing this, the little girl Taresa felt a surge of anger in her heart. Her parents were both servants of the general. Her father died in an attack, and her mother also died of illness a few years ago.

Her own biological brother even died of illness due to lack of nutrition after birth.

Why didn't the general give money to their family at that time?

And when I sent myself out a few days ago, I didn't see so many dramas on the general's face!

Now what does this mean?

Buy yourself?

She intended to throw back the card that could be exchanged for gold coins at the Goblin Bank, but in the end she didn't do so, she just lowered her head, glanced at Bo Laike quietly, and whispered to General Bo Laike Moore:

"General, I can't go and see before I leave."

"Okay, time to go!"

Before Taresa finished speaking, the pirate interrupted her.

Bu Laike stood up and said goodbye to his "old friend" in a very gentle tone:

"Everything counts. Since the general gave my little servant freedom, I will help you ease your current embarrassing situation. As for the orc matter, let's talk about it later."

He stretched out his hand towards Bu Laike Moore, and said to His Excellency the General:

"One last request, old friend, in your name, send a message to Max the Cutter, asking him to take his elite to the farthest outpost barracks in the forest outside Durnholde Castle.

Then pull back your soldiers there.

The Cleaver has betrayed Ravenholdt and become a pathetic bastard. His head will reaffirm your loyalty to the Alliance, and Lothar will see you as trustworthy again.

After all the dust settles, no one will know what happened in this castle. "

The eyeball on Bu Laike's shoulder glanced at the general with an ugly face in front of him. The pirate was waiting for his answer. Your Excellency the General was silent for a few seconds, and asked softly:

"So, is Lord Bu Laike serving Lothar now?"

"No, I serve my ideals, just like you, Your Excellency the General."

The pirate laughed and said:

"Coincidentally, Lothar's current movement is in line with my ideals, and I don't mind earning some 'pocket money' from his generous followers."

"If I don't express my attitude, will my head become your 'pocket money'?"

The general asked in a very straightforward tone.

The pirate shrugged and didn't answer.

But this action already shows everything.

"I'll deliver the letter after daylight."

Bu Laike Moore is worthy of being a hero, and immediately made a decision. He took out a golden card from his drawer, handed it to Bu Laike, and said:

"Buy your tight-lipped."

"Ah, it really is a soldier's style. Even stuffing red envelopes is so poor and petty."

The pirate did not accept this card, he said in a strange tone:

"If you really want to buy the secrecy of a master assassin, this amount of money is far from enough. I heard that you are very famous in the local area. Although you have some bad habits, you have never done anything to oppress the local civilians.

You are not a rich man, my friend.

Don't imitate those poor trash aristocrats who only have money left, collect your money well, don't spend it recklessly, it will definitely be useful in the future.

I would like to keep it a secret from my friends.

It doesn't do me any good to shake things up here.

My cleaning maid, what are you doing there?

gone. "

After finishing speaking, he walked out of the general's room with Taresa bowing his head, leaving behind the strange-faced Edellas Laike Moore, who was despised by a pirate just now in terms of wealth.

But they were right.

He really wasn't a rich man, didn't he see that the very self-aware General Bu Laike Moore didn't even mention hiring Bu Laike to rebel against Lothar?

He knew he couldn't afford that price.

After watching the pirates leave, the general closed the door with a gloomy face. He sat alone in front of the burning candle, staring at the flame in front of him and thinking constantly.

Thinking that my head started to hurt in the end, I wrote a private letter.

Ambitious people generally cherish their lives.

Now for the sake of my own life, let's put all the master cutters, powerful masters, meritorious titles after assassinating Lothar, etc. later.

——

"Why don't you talk?"

On the way out of Dunholde Castle under the night, Bo Laike felt the silence of the little maid behind him, and he asked:

"Before you leave, do you want to pay homage to your parents?"

"No need."

Taresa hugged her old clothes and the magic broom in her arms, she whispered:

"Their cemetery is not in the castle either. It's quite far away, and it will delay your business. I'm just worried about Sal. Do you remember him?"

"You are really competent as a sister."

Pirate said:

"I just got out of the tiger's mouth, and now I'm worried about your 'brother orc'."

"The general will make Thrall do terrible things."

Taresa whispered:

"Although I don't know what he wants to do, Thrall will definitely become a tool of his ambition, just like me. Captain, can you"

"cannot!"

Bu Laike refused:

"I'm not going to save a little green skin, but don't worry, some people want to save him."

Under the darkness, the pirate looked back at Dunholde Castle behind him. There was still light on in General Braike Moore's room, and a sneer appeared on the corner of Braike's mouth under his battle helmet.

He said:

"Blaike Moore rejected my kindness, but I don't have a lot of good intentions. So ignorant, let him get what he deserves!"
