Chapter 423: The Lost Kingship

As representatives of the nobility with bloodlines, no ability, and boundless ambition, these two brothers epitomized the fear of death. Historically, they were always at odds with each other, even wishing for each other's death after their family's demise. Even when they later went to Draenor and started a lumber company, these two hateful brothers still wished for each other's destruction so they could monopolize everything.

History took a wonderful turn due to Duke's appearance.

Duke never thought that these two brothers, who were insignificant and unworthy of his attention, would become the key to changing the outcome of the war between the Alliance and the Horde.

These two brothers were unscrupulous, but crucially, they knew a lot.

From the geography and strength of each country to their military needs, they knew it all. As the next generation of the Barov family, they were not young, and Lord Barov had trained them early to handle family affairs.

Alterac was the weakest kingdom and couldn't send out many soldiers. More often, it was the Barov family that provided food and logistics to the Alliance countries to fulfill their obligations as members of the Alliance.

So these two brothers knew most of the Alliance's military deployment, as well as the detailed situation of the three countries surrounding Lake Lordamere. You should know that the three countries near Lake Lordamere are Lordaeron on the north shore, Dalaran on the south shore, and Alterac to the southeast!

"My information is absolutely accurate, I go to Lordaeron every year," Welton shouted, trying to take credit.

"No, no, no, my inside information is correct. Alterac doesn't have such a strong magic defense system," Alexi argued.

"Hahaha! There's nothing to argue about," Orgrim laughed, hugging the two little guys affectionately. He made a grand promise: "As long as your information helps the Horde capture Alterac and Lordaeron, you will be heroes of the Horde. You will receive the treatment of a chieftain. I will even make one of you the King of the southern six human kingdoms, and the other the King of the northern six."

"Really!?"

"Thank you, Warchief! I will do my best!"

These two guys were so moved they were almost in tears, completely oblivious to the strong smell in their crotches.

The two ambitious but brainless guys didn't realize the trap in Orgrim's promise. First, they had to capture the cities. Second, if all the humans in the six kingdoms were killed by the Horde, what use would his so-called kingship be?

Kilrogg glanced at the two cunning humans and asked in Orcish, "Are you really going to make them kings?"

Orgrim laughed, "Why not? We've lost too many orc laborers. Someone has to make up for it."

On the other side in Alterac, after the situation finally calmed down, King Aiden, protected by his guards, stepped out of the basement.

The scene before him made him want to cry.

Dead! All dead!

Those staunch nobles who supported him had all turned into meat paste. Aiden vomited at just one glance.

His beautiful and sacred royal city was in ruins, with damaged houses everywhere, and the bodies of fallen dragons or gryphons.

During the breakout of the Orc Warchief, less than ten people managed to carve out a bloody path under the encirclement of half the Silver Hand Knights, four Elven Rangers, and over a thousand soldiers.

Aiden couldn't imagine how Orgrim would deal with him and his kingdom. Just thinking about Orgrim's ferocious

fangs made Aiden's legs tremble.

Unfortunately, he couldn't turn back. Duke's appearance had extinguished his last hope of turning to the Horde.

"King Perenolde, please mourn, but the most important thing now is to evacuate the people. Since the Horde's main force is not far from here, Alterac's royal city cannot be defended," Duke said, as if he was talking about a trivial matter.

Uther and others beside Duke looked at Aiden and his guards with disgust.

Duke didn't care about Aiden. Although he was the deputy commander of the Alliance, he was still not qualified to judge a king. That was something that could only be done after the other kings of the Alliance voted.

"Hass, come here, we need to discuss how to fight this battle."

"Yes," General Hass replied with a complicated expression.

His king was finished. And he, as a human general, had to continue to fulfill his duty for the survival of humanity. He knew that from this moment on, he and his soldiers would directly obey the orders of this excessively young commander.

Duke didn't avoid it, taking Hass and Uther directly to Alterac's command post.

Duke pointed at the map of Broken Ridge where Alterac's royal city was located: "Traps are useless. Orgrim is not a fool. I've tricked him twice with magic traps, definitely not a third time. And Broken Ridge is too small, it can't resist too many Horde elites, and Orgrim won't invest too much force. So what we need to do is, after causing enough damage to the Horde, we retreat..."

On the other side, Lord Barov stood at the top of the castle in the royal city, staring blankly at the distant mountains. Today was destined to be a day of suffering for Alterac. Alterac did not turn to the Horde, but was destined to suffer from war. In any case, King Aiden will be nailed to the pillar of shame, and perhaps he will not be able to turn over in the history books for hundreds of years to come.

His Barov family was also not doing well.

He thought that with Duke's reminder, the Barov family could jump out of the sinking ship of Alterac. Lord Barov had thought a lot, such as the Barov family completely leaving Alterac and turning to Stormwind Kingdom, which actually controlled Hillsbrad Foothills.

After all, Hillsbrad was also the fiefdom of the Barov family, just a change of nominal lord. Even if King Llane bore the shame of the fall, it would be ten thousand times better than King Aiden who played the role of a traitor.

But now, everything was over.

Because of the rebellion of those two unfilial sons, the only two heirs of the Barov family got on the wrong ship, and the Barov family could not avoid being nailed to the pillar of shame. The worst part was, there were witnesses who told Lord Barov that his two sons seemed to have been captured by the Horde's Blademaster.

Alexei Barov was trembling all over, he knew his sons' character too well.

What if...

Just as he was about to collapse, King Aiden came over.

"Alexei! Is this the outcome you wanted? We're both finished! Our families are finished! Not only did we get nothing, but we also lost everything!" Aiden waved his arms excitedly.

Lord Barov had nothing to say, looking at his childhood friend who was in a daze, his eyes scattered.

Just as the Duke was about to say something, the two guards beside King Aiden suddenly flew out!
