Chapter 14 We made a difficult decision

The 29th Alterac Congress of All Aristocrats finally ended successfully after one month. During this period, representatives of the nobles from all over the country conducted cordial and friendly discussions and consultations, and reached a consensus on specific measures for military strikes and economic sanctions against the Hinterland troll tribe. In a harmonious atmosphere of unity and friendship, Chairman Aiden Pirinoud and Secretary Alex Barov jointly made concluding remarks. The closing ceremony of the military parade ended with laughter.

(Diplomatic rhetoric so that the audience below the intermediate level can ignore this paragraph. The author -kun goes to accept the express.)

After a month of waiting, Aiden finally had a showdown with Alex. In the wilderness of the Sophia Heights, two young friends ate a whole roasted rock sheep and drank half a barrel of Alterac Snow Beer. The next day, the two old men went home to sleep separately, making the nobles in the kingdom anxious.

Two days later, the noble knight lords who had been in Steinblad for more than a month finally received the king’s order to step into Alterac to reunite with their wives and children.

In the palace chamber, the lord of Alterac, son of the mountains and snow, Aiden Pirinold issued an decree: Alex Barov became the duke, if he has no children, Carlos Barov will be the third heir to the royal family to succeed the king of Alterac after the death of Aiden Perenold, which is witnessed by everyone present.

The little nobles were in an uproar, while the king, queen, Duke Alex, Sir Willoma, and General Audron were all natural and calm.

Unexpected fish-snake fights, shrimp profit. Aiden and Alex each took a step back and placed the dispute in the future. If Aiden divorced the queen or gave birth to a son with the queen, the Barov family emptied the bamboo basket; if Aiden could not leave the queen or had no son until his death, Alterac Kingdom would belong to the Barov family.

The territory of Aiden plus the fiefdom of the Barov family, 80% of Alterac’s land and residents will belong to Barov. A one-word Alterac Kingdom. Thinking of this, the bodies of the nobles who supported Alex began to tremble, with a hint of fear in their excitement. And Aiden’s supporters also breathed a sigh of relief, after all, the initiative was in their hands.

As the victim of this political peace, the queen watched Carlos gently, and saw Carlos’s scalp numb. After all, the reliability of her crown is not in Aiden, but in Barov’s dedication to the crown.

Sir Willoma received financial support from the Barov family, and General Odren received King Aiden’s commitment to expand the army and a 40% military guarantee from the Barov family.

Nobles, large and small, have gained more or less.

Except for the queen, there are no losers in this political feast.

After the irrelevant issue of inheritance rights was resolved, retaliation against the Hinterland trolls was officially put on the agenda.

Carlos swore an oath to join the Knights of the Kings of Alterland. Aiden appointed Carlos as the knight commander to lead 300 knights of the Kings of Alterac to participate in the troll crusade. In the crusade against the demon, the nobles across the country pieced together 3000 soldiers according to their abilities to participate in the crusade against the trolls. Duke Barov, who sympathized with the murder of the prince, offered to bear half of the cost of the operation.

Nearly two months, the murder of Jerio Perenold in the Hinterlands has spread to all human kingdoms, and even King Lane of Stormwind sent envoys to greet him. Finally, the envoy of Terenas Menethil II is willing to provide 2,000 gold coins as a greeting; the envoy of Daelin Proudmoore is willing to provide 10 artillery and 100 artillery to participate in the crusade; rapids The Trollbane family in Fort is also suffering from troll harassment and is willing to provide 300 cavalry to join the crusade.

As the cold winter is approaching, everyone has agreed to gather at Dunhold Castle in March next year, so they will return to each house to find their own mothers after leaving a place in Steinblad.

Guy Erdalon, has been busy all winter.

In this crusade against the orcs, the Barov family shouldered heavy responsibilities, but compared with a crown, it was worth it.

“Father, why am I?” Carlos asked in general, but Alex knew what his son was saying.

“Because you are my child.” Alex answered very concisely.

“Why me?” Carlos’s tone became more and more plain.

“Because I’m fighting Aiden for my life, I’m afraid I won’t be able to fight him.” Alex touched Carlos’s head.

Unknowingly, his son had already caught up with his height, which made the Parovs of the Barov family couldn’t help but feel that time has passed, and the years are easy to grow old, and the lack of neglect that his son is actually only 14 years old.

“I heard about your feat in South Blue. You did a good job. It gave me a lot of money in the deal with Aiden.” Alex looked at Carlos gently. Be close and close. Aiden seems to have the initiative, but in fact he has lost. Although time is not on my side, it is on your side. I am 38 years old today, and Aiden is 3 years older than me. Even if he has a son. , 10 years later, he will fight with you on what to do, 20 years later, he still doesn’t know where his son will fight with you on what.” Alex said his plan.

“Then this crusade?” Carlos asked Alex humbly.



“It’s just a matter of form. Thousands of armies can’t harvest a few hundred heads? The key is to let you enter the Royal Knights. You are now the knight commander, and you will be promoted to the knight in a few years. When you take the crown, Alterac is the best The elite troops belong to you, and this is also part of the deal.” Alex said nonchalantly about the dead Jerio Pirinold.

“But if possible, expand the results as much as possible. For the king, prestige is life, even higher than life. Odren is a competent soldier. Don’t overdo it, learn more about how he fights. War is not a duel, an individual. His bravery can’t lead the army to the final victory. Learn with a humility, my son.” Alex warned his son.

“The other thing is to be careful of the extreme forces under Aiden to assassinate you. They won’t do anything in the war. It’s too obvious, but the poison and the dagger in your sleep are even more difficult to guard against. When the ice and snow are frozen, I’ll take you to Ravenholdt Manor and ask Duke Jorazzi for help, so that he can send his best thieves to protect you.” Alex revealed the details of the Barov family.

“My child, when you were born as a father, you couldn’t let the mountains of Alterac call your name, but assure your father, you will be crowned king.” Alex resolutely assured.

Father still remembers his own falsehood when he was young!

In the previous life, Carlos went back home in obscurity after retiring. He barely supported himself when he was in his thirties.

In this life, Alex Barov’s deep paternal love overwhelmed Carlos’ defenses. This man gave the crown to his son, just for his son’s childhood dreams.

“Dad!” Carlos’s feelings broke down, he hugged Alex’s shoulder, tears unable to stop for a long time.

PS: After writing this chapter, the author -kun cried somehow, but couldn’t stop the tears. Father’s love is like a mountain, always in a silent place.
