New Order of Azeroth

Vanessa's tone turned friendly: "Your problem is that you lack confidence in the king of the human kingdom, and the human kings don't trust that the League of Assassins is independent of their own control, right?"

Many generations of Assassin League leaders have studied this issue, and Duke Ravenholdt also knew the crux of it, and he nodded very slightly.

Vanessa looked regretful: "So, Your Excellency, what you are doing now is incomprehensible. On the one hand, you firmly hold on to the title of Duke given to you by Alterac, and on the other hand, you want the Assassin League to maintain its own Independence.”

She pointed at herself and then at the other party: "I have the inheritance rights of Alterac. Alterac and Lordaeron share the same monarch. You are the Duke appointed by Alterac. We are naturally friends. You What will your thieves think about using the intimidation and resources of the Assassin League to obtain a dukedom? Can they smile and watch your descendants occupy this dukedom? Do they also have the virtues of humility, honesty, compassion and heroism?"

Thieves definitely don't have these virtues. In fact, there are very few paladins who can do it completely. Duke Ravenholdt looked into her eyes carefully.

There are more talents recruited, and now Vanessa is no longer like the initial recruitment of old Fording, which was filled with emotions and touched the heavens and the earth. I recruit you to give you face!

"Actually, we can cooperate. We can cancel all previous matters. I will pay and you will do some tasks for me. If you have more urgent needs, I can even seal a piece of land for you and let the Ravenholdt family in Lordaeron. Settle down and your descendants can build a castle, own their own manor, create their own family emblem, and become real nobles, rather than the poor dependents of the former leader of the Assassin League..."

It's obvious that she's just bribery, and her rhetoric can be said to have no technical content at all, but I have to say that this is what people in this era do.

The old man is determined and dedicated to the League of Assassins, but he still has weaknesses, and his descendants are weaknesses.

"The Assassin's League's asking price is very high." He had to find a step down for himself to make himself look less humble.

Vanessa smiled: "Lordaeron has enough money to hire you."

Duke Ravenholdt was no longer as confident as he was at first. He asked tentatively: "What do you need us to do? Assassinate Sylvanas?"

She shook her head and refused: "I think it will be difficult for the Assassin League to assassinate Sylvanas. That can be discussed later. I know that there are Forsaken thieves working under you. I don't need you to assassinate Sylvanas. You just Just report her whereabouts to me."

Where Sylvanas is, is the route of her army. This information is of immeasurable value. She herself has sent human thieves to investigate, but after all, it is not as convenient as the identity of the Forsaken.

Duke Ravenholdt didn't think about military operations for a while, let alone Vanessa's intention to ambush Sylvanas. His thinking was still at the stage of assassinating and being assassinated. He was a thief, not a general, and there was no need to go. There are great limitations in thinking when studying strategies and tactics.

After thinking about it, I thought it was not difficult at first.

But then I felt that I was trying to be simple, and I definitely didn't see through the other party's true intentions.

"What do you mean, what do you want to do?" Without asking clearly, he would never agree hastily, and there was a vague intention to negotiate terms.

Vanessa took out a map and motioned to the old man to look carefully.

"The land in Alterac is barren and bandits are rampant in the territory. You don't want your descendants to deal with a group of thieves every day, right?"

How fresh! Duke Ravenholdt has reached the pinnacle of this profession, and he understands the virtues of thieves too well.

Vanessa drew a circle on the lower right side of Alterac, near the Kingdom of Stromgard: "This is Durnholde Castle, and the surrounding land belongs to Lordaeron. As Lordaeron's Prince Regent, I can seal the Ravenholdt family here and clear out the Syndicate thieves in the castle. You can create your own family emblem here. I will also give you the number of the Eighth Legion. It is up to you. Recruit not more than eight thousand soldiers.”

This is also her helpless move. Durnholde is located at the junction of the Kingdom of Lordaeron and Stromgarde, which is too far away from her core ruling area. There is a little-known filial son in the Kingdom of Stromgard, named Garin Trollbane. He also killed his father and later became an undead.

There are undead, humans, orcs and ogres in the Arathi Highlands. The situation is extremely chaotic, and the products are not rich. It can be said that they are of little value. For the sake of territorial stability, Vanessa simply seals off the land.

Duke Ravenholdt, who brought his own dry food, could guard the border for her. If he could guard it, the land would be his. If he couldn't, Vanessa could still find another enemy, and she wouldn't lose anything anyway.

"You...are you serious?" With such a large land, it would be impossible for two or three generations not to fight hard for the kingdom during peacetime. Duke Ravenholdt felt that the pie was a bit big, and he was afraid that he would be strangled to death. .

But I have to say, it's very touching.

The headquarters of their League of Assassins was not far from Durnholde Castle, and he was well aware of the problems there.

"What if I can't defend Durnholde Castle?" he asked.

Vanessa spread her hands and said that she had nothing to do, and whether you could hold on or not was entirely your own business.

Duke Ravenholdt is so confused. If he is an empty-headed duke, he will definitely not be able to defend this land, and the legendary thief will have no chance.

But if you want to mobilize the resources of the Assassin League, that's another story. UU Reading www. uukanshu.net Is it possible to use the organization's resources for one's own benefit? He quickly weighed it in his mind.

Without saying a word, Vanessa took out her quill and wrote a carefully worded fiefdom certificate, legally transforming Duke Ravenholdt, the empty duke of Alterac, into the real duke of Lordaeron. , the fiefdom is Durnholde Castle.

The syndicate thieves in the castle, as well as the subsequent repairs to the castle and organizing the people to reclaim the land, all need to be solved by himself. This is also the practice of feudal lords, and the king does not need to worry about it.

After that, I wrote a letter of appointment as the commander of the Eighth Legion of Lordaeron. The name of the commander of the legion was blank and anyone could fill it in. As for the soldiers, it was also very simple. Do you train your thieves into soldiers, or do you train the thieves next door? The Kingdom of Tomgad invites people at will.

With two snaps and stamped with his seal, the matter was settled.

Vanessa put the two documents on the table, then pulled out the ceremonial sword from the wall, and then asked Duke Ravenholdt with her eyes, Old man, have you thought about it?
