Chapter 414: Turning the Tables - Part 1

Upon hearing the whisper of his attendant, King Aiden's brow furrowed deeply. This was not within his calculations!

He ordered his guard, "Have the Horde's envoy wait a moment. Arrange for them to be in the secret reception room. I will see them shortly."

What King Aiden didn't expect was that as soon as his words fell, as if hearing him, a voice that was loud to human ears came from the entrance of the hall, "Hasn't King Perenolde already decided to make Alterac a solid part of the Horde? As a part of the Horde, there should be nothing to hide from me, right?"

The massive hall door, fifteen meters high and three meters wide, was kicked open. Accompanied by this rumbling sound, a louder commotion came from outside the castle, followed by the sound of countless giant birds flapping their wings.

Under the astonished gaze of everyone, the envoy of the Horde appeared.

Calling him an envoy was a joke.

No envoy would be as burly as this orc, emitting such a terrifying aura. He had a reddish-brown skin that was different from most orcs, and carried a huge square-headed black warhammer on his shoulder. What was most terrifying was that the hammer was still stained with fresh blood and flesh. With each step he took, a drop of blood or a small piece of flesh fell from the hammer.

"Who... who are you!?" For a moment, King Aiden almost called his guards to kill him.

An orc boldly entered the palace of Alterac. If he were to let him leave as boldly, it would be like mud falling from his pants, not shit but still shit. This was completely contrary to Aiden's expectations. The consequence of doing so would be that Alterac could only follow the Horde all the way to the end.

The massive orc grinned, showing a set of intimidating fangs, "Aiden Perenolde, didn't you send an envoy to swear allegiance to me? My subject, I'm just here to express my joy after receiving your loyalty. Is there anything wrong with that?"

King Aiden's face turned pale in an instant, and cold sweat immediately soaked his magnificent clothes.

With trembling teeth, Aiden let out a name filled with magic from his mouth, "Orgrim Doomhammer..."

No one expected that the Warchief of the Horde would visit in person!

Was this a coup or a showdown? Or both?

"Heh! My loyal subject—Aiden, thank you for your information." Accompanied by Orgrim's mocking words, a burly orc with a broken hand and a tooth-blade on his palm threw out a head with a grim smile.

"Ah! It's Chasimath! King Menethil's personal court mage!" Someone recognized the identity of this head.

At this moment, Aiden only felt that all the sweat he had shed was frozen by the cold.

It's over! It's all over!

Unexpectedly, the Horde, which should still be two days away, silently organized a surprise attack. Now even the leading Moon Mage was killed, and the Lordaeron Mage Group stationed at the camp north of Broken Ridge was probably in great danger.

Aiden couldn't imagine how the Horde silently achieved all this. But clearly, Orgrim's preemptive strike broke all his plans.

Now, he only had two choices.

One was to resist on the spot, letting Orgrim, who was prepared, annihilate his entire family.

The second was to let Alterac join the Horde as he had promised before, and then follow them all the way to the end. In the future, either be destroyed by the

victorious Alliance, or join the Horde wholeheartedly, praying that the Horde will reward Alterac with a piece of the pie after ruling the world.

In fact, not only Aiden's subjects, but Aiden himself was also hesitating.

Although Orgrim was considered a handsome man among the orcs, from a human aesthetic point of view, he was still too ugly and terrifying.

Thinking of having to work under such a ferocious and terrifying creature, enduring his bloody and foul breath up close, staring at those sharp, mottled teeth, Aiden shivered, feeling a deep reluctance.

What if he could capture the Warchief of the Horde and use him as a hostage to prevent the Horde from attacking, holding out until the Alliance reinforcements arrive?

If successful, he, Aiden Perenolde, would undoubtedly become a great hero of the Alliance, the savior of the human world, and his Alterac would greatly increase in prestige, becoming a powerful nation on par with Lordaeron!

This idea was so tempting that Aiden was moved. He couldn't help but sweep his eyes over the royal guards on both sides of the hall door, who had already drawn their swords and were ready to act.

The ideal is beautiful, but reality is harsh.

Aiden, who tried to play both sides, had his heroic dream shattered in just two seconds.

A green claw had unknowingly landed on his shoulder, the sharp claws just touching Aiden's carotid artery. A huge figure that had been completely invisible appeared next to the King of Alterac.

"Ah!" Aiden let out a low cry of surprise.

It was a Blademaster from the Fireblade Clan.

With the ability to become invisible, he had been roaming the Alliance command center for years, killing many low-level commanders in the Alliance, and was infamous within the Alliance!

For a moment, all the humans in the room were stunned.

This mysterious green-skinned Blademaster didn't immediately kill, but instead rudely reached into King Aiden's bosom, and in less than a second, he found the contract signed by all the nobles and generals, and then threw the contract like lightning to Orgrim at the entrance of the hall.

Everyone only felt a blur before their eyes, and the contract was already in Orgrim's hand.

The Warchief briefly opened it and a satisfied smile appeared on his face - the whole of Alterac had fallen into the hands of the Horde, whether to destroy it or use it, it was all up to him, Orgrim.

"Thank you for your loyalty to the Horde, to me. I can promise here as the Warchief of the Horde. When the Horde rules the entire world of Azeroth, all of you here will automatically become the proxies of the Horde controlling the human world."

A slap, a sweet date.

After applying enough intimidation and controlling the situation, Orgrim cleverly adopted a conciliatory approach.

Ruling the entire human world!

Above all but one!

It must be said that this promise, for the nobles of Alterac who have been struggling for a long time among the seven human kingdoms and have not been valued by the major countries, this is indeed a beautiful blueprint.

At least there's something to look forward to!

Suddenly, the eyes of the nobles became eager.

Just at this moment, a voice filled with mockery suddenly sounded.

"Oh, Orgrim, undermining the foundation of the Alliance in front of me, you really don't take me, or the Alliance, seriously!"
