章 141: Chapter 141 The Arrival of the Barov Family
"The young rascal went too far by annexing my territory. Terenas, that dog, is protecting his son. Damn it!" Lord Strahad angrily slammed his cup to the ground. His close relatives, nephews and nieces, were all mercilessly slaughtered.
If such ruthlessness had occurred under Terenas' command, he could have reluctantly accepted it, as Terenas himself was a ruthless king, capable of intimidating many great Lords and elevating Lordaeron to the pinnacle of the human throne.
But now, he was being manipulated by Arthas, this young rascal who actually resorted to murder?
"Why aren't the other nobles supporting us? What about Garithos? Didn't he embarrass Arthas before?" Perrinold was puzzled as to why the other Lordaeron nobles had not stepped forward.
"That young rascal has tied them up with business deals. He somehow acquired a lot of pearls and even controls the pearl trade route, offering them benefits. Those fools, don't they realize he's dividing us?" The lord clutched his heart, feeling uneasy.
Indeed, it was a clever scheme, a legitimate way to divide the nobles' alliance.
Who are the nobles?
They are merely representatives of the interest class. As long as there are benefits, these self-righteous individuals would act more professionally and aptly than thieves.
Compared to Arthas, Lord Strahad had no advantage at all. There was even a dragon assisting in battle, sending a clear signal.
Arthas was truly favored by a dragon!
Simultaneously, he was the prince of Lordaeron, sending another signal externally.
Cooperating with him could bring profits, but opposing him would bring no benefits at all, only retaliation!
Now, the noble circle was mocking Lord Strahad, saying that openly attempting to assassinate an heir to the throne and failing was well-deserved if the heir to the throne led soldiers to raid his home.
Perrinold's eyes flickered, his thoughts unclear.
No matter which direction they attacked from, the Kingdom of Alterac would be the first to stand against Lordaeron, even if the Tribe divided their forces to attack the long-eared ones, they would eventually have to face him.
It was almost impossible to bypass from the east, as Stratholme was not only a densely populated town, but if the Tribe truly attacked there, they would likely meet their end on the spot. Once surrounded, it would be a dead end.
At the Alliance headquarters, Gilneas King, who had not yet turned into a werewolf, looked at the intelligence and chuckled, "Uther, your student really has character."
"Assassinating the heir to the throne, colluding with orcs, they deserve death!"
Uther had not intervened in Arthas' actions, merely teaching him how to use the holy light. Compared to being a mentor, he was more suited to be a warrior and leader.
His status was neither high nor low, and his character prevented him from misusing his position as a prince's mentor to bring negative influences to the royal family. Therefore, he could mentor Arthas, rather than letting his teacher, the Archbishop, take on the role.
Uther's words brought a solemn atmosphere to the command center. Indeed, assassinating an heir to the throne and a prince were two different matters.
The heir to the throne was the future king, so Uther's words were reasonable.
All of this had little to do with Arthas, who set off again upon receiving the king's orders.
This time, he traveled by ship. Before large-scale teleportation became common, sailing was the most cost-effective and efficient means of transportation.
Unless in deep forests or mountains, water routes were always faster than land routes.
"It's time to develop some airships." Arthas stood at the bow of the ship, watching as the water parted before the vessel.
"Goblin airships? Those things aren't very stable." Kryssyta stood at the bow, her hair dancing in the wind, giving her a unique allure.
Perhaps all Red Dragon maidens were this enticing, exuding a natural allure.
"If you want to use airships, it's best to continue researching. I used to not believe in so-called science, but you will make me believe in it in the future."
"I will make you believe?" Arthas stroked the hilt of his sword, his gaze pensive.
"You are a miraculous man. Haha, I have never seen Emeriss show interest in anyone, even among the Green Dragons, she is known as a female assassin and warrior. Your ability to capture her heart proves your capabilities." Kryssyta blinked her beautiful eyes, a hint of innocence in contrast to her mother, the Red Dragon Queen.
"Then I'll take your words to heart." Arthas squinted his eyes. Lately, he had been dealing with various matters, establishing connections with nobles, sharing some profits, and getting local nobles to cooperate in promoting his products.
This mutually beneficial arrangement only occurs because he is the heir to the throne, showing goodwill to a future king carries no harm.
Even as a crown prince, one must still show respect even if not yet a king.
A surge of magic emanated, the magician who had been informed in advance began infusing magic into the spell formation, stabilizing the spatial coordinates, ensuring the success of the spatial teleportation.
A flash of white light, a mature and elegant lady wearing a magic circlet appeared with a charming young girl. Following them were Anthony Archmage and his fiancée Gianna.
"Good day, Your Highness. I am Jandis Barov, and this is my daughter Illusia Barov. It's a pleasure to meet Your Highness." The elegant and mature lady greeted graciously with a smile, exuding grace and charm, truly befitting a duchess and the mistress of the Barov Family!
After exchanging greetings, Lady Jandis turned to Anthony Das and nodded, "Senior brother, it's been a while. How have you been recently?"
Senior brother!
Arthas's expression remained unchanged, but a ripple stirred in his heart.
The plump and alluring mature lady before him, seemingly ripe like a peach ready to drip water, was actually the chief overseer's junior sister in the Dalaran Magic Kingdom?
This is getting interesting!
Dalaran operates on a council system, major matters are discussed in the council. For minor issues, decisions are made by the council head, and clearly, Anthony holds significant power.
"Hello, junior sister, it's been a long time. I believe the last time we met was ten years ago." Anthony Das sighed slightly. Even at the level of an Archmage like him, lifespan is still limited, at most around a hundred and twenty years, which is considerably better than the average lifespan of sixty years.
