Part-time BOSS

The streets in the upper city of Lordaeron have been extremely lively in recent days. With the arrival of diplomatic missions from various countries, both the business district and the magic district are very popular. Lordaeron is the commercial center of the Alliance, with all kinds of precious materials and expensive items. Magical creations can be purchased here, so wealthy politicians from various countries will also take advantage of their free time to wander around and shop.

However, even in this prosperous world, some unharmonious things still happen occasionally.

"For the Horde! Lokta-Oga!"

With a roar, several orc thieves and assassins suddenly appeared around Antonidas who was walking. In an instant, scimitars, daggers and axes were all coming towards Antonidas. These people were obviously knowledgeable. Yes, we know that epic heroes like Antonidas have a lot of health. Even if the law profession has a low health, it still has seven or eight thousand.

Therefore, they all rushed towards the vital point and rushed to deliver a fatal blow. If they were to deliver a fatal blow and aimed at this epic hero, they might be able to explode a purple-armored orange weapon or something.

Looking from a distance, five or six burly orcs were surrounding an old man and slashing wildly, as if they were about to cut him into pieces in an instant.

However, Antonidas is such a person, he has countless magic items hanging on his body, and several jewelry rings that stabilize the protective magic are activated at the same time.

In an instant, four or five layers of shields of different colors appeared on his body, and this series of attacks were all blocked by the shields without any suspense.

Although Antonidas was unharmed, he was startled, and a look of anger suddenly appeared on the face of the enemy who was attacking clearly.

"Despicable beasts, how dare you act so arrogantly in front of me!"

Arcane blast!

Boom, five or six orc thieves were instantly shattered to pieces by the powerful arcane energy. The remaining few who were far away saw that it was not good and turned around and ran away.

However, there is no way to escape.

Arcane missiles!

It was a simple and unpretentious move, but the arcane missiles used by the archmage were naturally incomparable in power. More than a dozen energy balls appeared around Antonidas, killing the orc assassins who were trying to escape one by one like a storm.

"Master, master, leave one for me!" Jaina excitedly raised her staff - Arcane Impact! Boom, the last orc assassin was finished.

The little girl's face was red with excitement, and her little feet wearing leather boots kicked the orc corpse on the ground hard.

At this time, a group of royal guards finally rushed over.

"Oh, what happened here? This is Master Antonidas. Are you okay, Master?"

"I'm fine, but these despicable orcs are getting more and more arrogant. I have been assassinated three times in the past two days. As the security officer of the embassy area, can't you do something?"

Faced with Antonidas's accusation, the God of War Lu Bu was also a little helpless. He now regretted taking this job. For two days, the orc heroes did not wait, but the orc adventurers came out in an endless stream. They came out to die as if they were going to a market. These guys didn't know who they were. If you don't take the wrong medicine and focus on the characters in the plot, the result is often the destruction of the entire army.

But because he is an adventurer and can be resurrected even after death, no matter how hard Lu Bu, the God of War, took precautions in the past two days, it was useless. Not only did the number of orc assassins not decrease, but they became more frequent. They moved in groups, blatantly attacking the participating countries. The messenger asked someone to initiate an assassination.

In the end, they actually succeeded several times, but because there were no plot characters involved, the plot characters that were killed were only seriously injured, and they emerged from the Cathedral of the Holy Light alive the next day. .

"I will take precautions - if it doesn't work, I will go to the palace and mobilize a group of guards to help."

While the two were talking, in an inconspicuous two-story building not far away, Varian was watching what was happening downstairs through the attic window.

In his heart, he was not surprised by the rampage of these orc assassins. Godwin said that he was going to pass the blame for the assassination of Terenas to the orc assassins. Unexpectedly, so many orc assassins appeared. It seems that there must be some connection between the two. , the appearance of these orc assassins always feels a bit too coincidental...

Suddenly there was a sound of footsteps coming from the stairs.

When Varian turned around, he saw Dixi, a black-knife man wearing tight-fitting black leather armor, walking up from downstairs.

"Prince Varian, it seems you arrived early. Are you so anxious to see me?" Black Blade Dixi's voice was suggestive.

Varian was unmoved, "Stop talking nonsense. Have you brought your things?"

"Of course." Black Knife Dixi said, taking out a purple magic orb and a sheepskin map.

"This is the Orb of Deception. It can transform a humanoid creature into the appearance of different humanoid creatures. The plan is very simple. When the military parade starts tomorrow, you will go to see King Tenaris. Tenaris will think that you are going to give in. , will definitely meet you, and you will take the opportunity to disguise yourself as an orc and kill him.

King Tenaris is surrounded by eight elite king guards, two court mages and two court priests, but with the strength of your Storm God, I think you can handle it.

Remember to leave one alive, so that the matter will be dumped on the orcs. Orc assassins have been appearing recently, which is very suitable for blaming the blame.

After the incident is over, you just need to retreat along the route on this map. My master has arranged everything. "

Varian took the orb and map and played with it casually. The purple orb exuded a strange magical light.

The map is also very detailed.

It does sound like a foolproof plan, but—

Varian glanced at Black Knife Dixi, "How can I trust that you won't burn bridges?"

"Please rest assured, Your Highness Varian, my master is not hostile to you. Besides, what good will this do to my master?

Any betrayal requires the temptation of profit. The reason why King Tenaris betrayed the Kingdom of Stormwind and did not send reinforcements was because he hoped to obtain the surrender of the Kingdom of Stormwind. However, my master has no interest in this matter. He only hopes to inherit Lordan. Lun's throne, if he betrays you, won't he be afraid that you will reveal all these secret agreements? That would undoubtedly be very detrimental to him.

So don't worry, he'll be more interested in covering it up than you are. And once you become the king, my master will urgently need to launch a war against the orcs to increase his prestige, so he will definitely help you restore the kingdom. What can be better than helping a troubled prince to restore his kingdom to enhance his reputation within the alliance? "

This sounds like the truth, but Varian is no longer the ignorant boy he used to be.

"I need you to pay half of the payment first."

"For example?"

"Return the Storm Fleet to me. As for the soldiers I recruited, you can keep them for now and return them to me when the matter is over."

Black Blade Dixi shook his head, "This matter was decided by the king himself, my master cannot make the decision."

"Humph, he is the prince of the kingdom, so he must have some power. Don't tell me that he can't even mobilize a few ships. Anyway, I won't take action until you show sincerity."

"Prince Varian, you are asking my master for help. Don't be too arrogant."

"Haha, your master has spent so much effort to facilitate this. I think he is more anxious about this matter than me. Go ahead and tell him my conditions. Tomorrow is the military parade, and time waits for no one."

Black Blade Dixi was a little annoyed, but still closed his eyes and seemed to be thinking about the pros and cons, but in fact he was communicating with Godwin through the private message channel.

"Okay, my prince agreed, but the warships of the Kingdom of Stormwind are personally supervised by the king's people, and my master has no way to call them. However, he can send a few warships from the Lordaeron fleet to you. As for the captain and sailors, they must You recruited it yourself.”

Varian nodded, "Okay, that's it."

Varian quickly had his men take over the ships.

He didn't trust Godwin, but he really wanted to kill Tenaris. No matter whether Godwin would turn against him after it was done, he was ready to go to Northrend as soon as possible, and the time agreed with Kel'Thuzad would be fast. arrive.

But before all that could begin, there was someone he needed to say goodbye to.

——————

Half an hour later - in a room in the embassy area.

Varian (Prince of Storms): "Brother, I'm ready to leave."

Murphy was a little surprised, this was a bit unexpected, "Has the matter been settled? Have you convinced King Tenaris?"

Varian shook his head, "Not yet, but the problem shouldn't be big. Tomorrow I will go to King Tenaris to explain the stakes and ask him to return my fleet and soldiers. King Tenaris is a As a sensible person, I think he will agree to my request."

Murphy couldn't believe it. Varian's attitude was too upright, right?

His expression became serious: "Varian, second brother, are you hiding something from me? If you have any trouble, you can tell me. As your eldest brother, we have sworn an oath. I will definitely help you.

Even if Tenaris wants to mess with you, don't worry. What about the king? If you mess with my brother Aidan, that's it. "

Varian was moved for a while after hearing this, but he still shook his head, "I'm afraid you can't help me with this matter."

Mo Feixin said that something was indeed wrong, "That's not necessarily true. How do you know I can't help you if you don't tell me?"

Seeing that Murphy was so determined, Varian no longer concealed anything, and told Tenaris' purpose of holding him back, as well as his agreement with Godwin.

Finally, he said: "That's what happened. Godwin has made an agreement with me. I will help him kill Tenaris, and he will help me restore my country after he succeeds to the throne.

I wasn't sure yet whether he would fulfill his promise, so I secretly made some arrangements that should have some effect, but if I've learned anything in this year's war with the orcs, it's that things often don't. It went as planned, so I was still a little worried. "

Mo Fei was extremely surprised when he heard this. Wocao, this Godwin is really courageous. He actually wants to act like a loving father and a filial son.

The problem is that we brothers were a partnership of more than 20 people at the beginning. You must be too confident if you want to act like a loving father and a filial son by yourself.

Moreover, they achieved all this with the help of orcs. Your Kingdom of Lordaeron is in the rear area and there is no threat from orcs at all. Can you still do this?

There have been a lot of orc assassins active in Lordaeron recently, and it seems he must have been the one responsible.

Yes, that’s right—nine times out of ten, it’s really necessary to create conditions even if there are no conditions.

Murphy thought for a while. The promise Godwin gave may be true, but it may also be false. What if he turns his back on Varian and then annexes the remnants of the Kingdom of Stormwind? ?

Although the Deceit Orb can turn into an orc, there are so many mages in Lordaeron, and it won't be bad if someone uses dispelling magic to lift Varian's disguise.

You can't risk this kind of thing.

He turned his mind twice, and suddenly an idea came to him.

"Yes! If you do this, do this, and do this again! It should be foolproof."

Varian was dumbfounded, "But, is this possible?"

"Don't worry, it will definitely work. But you definitely can't do this alone, and I can't do it either. You have to ask adventurers for help. Don't you have many adventurer followers? Ask them for help."

Varian shook his head and sighed: "They have all died in Stormwind City." There was a trace of tears in the corner of his eyes, and the tragic scene in King's Harbor was recalled in his mind. Countless adventurers sacrificed their lives with their blood. It paved the way for him to survive.

Murphy smiled mysteriously after hearing this, "That's not necessarily true. Adventurers each have their own abilities, and there may be other survivors. You might as well go to the Adventurer's Guild and have a look. You might get something unexpected."
