Stormwind Wizard God-Chapter 346: Switcharoo

"No! I firmly oppose this plan!" Haas stepped forward excitedly, but he was blocked by more than ten fully armed royal guards: "I won't agree! Our Alterac soldiers won't agree either!"

"Then use the excuse of redeployment to move them away!" King Aiden said coldly.

"No! I still object!" Hass was suppressed by several guards. He struggled and roared: "This is a blasphemy against all mankind!"

"Shut up, Haas! You swore allegiance to me, even to the end of hell!"

General Haas was immediately stunned.

"Can we - can we trust the chieftain of the Horde?" asked a low-ranking noble, Valander. His words also represented the thoughts of many nobles. Seeing many people nodding, Aiden breathed a sigh of relief. If they asked this, it meant that they had already accepted the agreement in their hearts - the only thing that hindered them was doubts about whether the agreement could be implemented.

"We have no choice." Aiden answered slowly: "As long as they want, unless they give up the entire Alterac, we and everything we have will be destroyed. Of course, if they betray their promise, we will still be finished. But if they stick to their promise - Alterac will live. No matter what the cost. Well, choose! Gentlemen!"

Aiden waved his hand, and more than a hundred royal guards rushed out from the side door and surrounded all the generals and nobles.

No one knows what the consequences of refusing to sign this contract will be, but it's obviously not going to be anything good.

It was obvious that the king had already informed his diehard faction early on, and more than one-third of the nobles and generals signed the contract on the spot, stating that they unconditionally agreed to all of the king's guidelines and policies regarding the alliance.

They signed their names and stamped the wax.

Once they get on the king's chariot, it means that once Aiden officially breaks off relations with the alliance, they will also be held jointly responsible for it.

The remaining two-thirds were hesitant. The neutrals and the people connected to Duke Barov all turned their attention to the other powerful person in the kingdom—Duke Barov, whose power was second only to King Aiden.

Duke Barov, who had been silent all this time, raised his head slowly, his neck like a rusty machine.

"The Barov family objects!" Perhaps because of fear, his voice had a clear tremor, and it was unlike his previous voice.

Aiden didn't care. Anyone's voice would change tone when they are extremely anxious and panicked.

Aiden stroked the hilt of the sword at his waist and sighed: "My old friend, I'm sorry that I didn't discuss this with you in advance, because in my opinion, when you gave little Ilucia to the kid who stole the high position of the Alliance, you had already made your choice. Your heart is no longer in Alterac. You plan to unite those damn refugees and steal the land and throne of Alterac, right?"

It was like a bolt from the blue. Duke Barov was completely stunned. He looked at the king but couldn't say a word.

"I'm sorry, you can no longer represent the Barov family." The king clapped his hands and two young men came out from the side hall.

Duke Barov stared with his eyes wide open.

15-year-old Wilton Barov and Alex Barov, the only two heirs of Barov, now both of them have gone to the royal party!

Wilton grinned: "Father, you are old. It's time to hand over the Barov family to us."

Alex was furious. "Father, you've gone crazy! You actually wanted to hand over the family to Ilucia and give it to that bastard Duke who came from nowhere, instead of leaving the family business to us!?"

Duke Barov raised his right index finger and pointed at the king with trembling hands. A breath of foul air blocked his throat, but he still couldn't say anything.

The outcome has been decided.

The most important thing for the nobility is bloodline.

No matter how hard the old Duke Barov struggled, he could not escape the bondage of his bloodline. As the old Duke knelt down dejectedly, almost all the nobles and generals came forward, signed their names, and stamped their seals.

The two good sons of Duke Barov proudly did the same in front of their father.

After gaining the support of everyone except Haas and the old Duke of Barov, King Aiden was obviously in high spirits. He showed everyone his superb political skills.

It showed everyone what a dramatic turn of events is.

"Everyone, I am not forcing you on purpose. If I had a choice, I certainly would not serve those horrible beasts. The contract you signed is just an insurance. Insurance! Do you understand?"

Everyone looked at King Aiden in confusion.

Aiden finally showed his talent as an actor: "In fact, I also informed Terenas of the news of the main force of the Horde's attack. I told him that if he didn't support me, I would give up the defense and let the Horde rush through my territory and march to Lordaeron. As a result, Terenas sent his last court mage group and the accompanying high-level swordsman group as if he was in a hurry. I planned to let these guys destroy the mountain road for the Horde to advance."

General Haas, who had already knelt on the ground, suddenly looked up, his eyes full of hope: "Your Majesty, you just lied to us? You are not going to fulfill the treaty with the Horde at all? That's right! We don't need to fulfill our promise to those despicable beasts."

Aiden shook his right index finger proudly. "No, I have already told Orgrim about the arrival of Lordaeron's reinforcements, including their number and types."

"..."The entire hall suddenly fell into silence.

Aiden's face was filled with indifference and cruelty. He raised the contract signed by the generals and nobles in his hand and said, "Let them fight to the death. If Terenas' elites win, I will secretly burn this contract. No one will believe the evidence provided by those beasts."

When Aiden said this, many people visibly breathed a sigh of relief.

"If the Horde is really that powerful and has wiped out all of Terenas' elite troops, then we who notified Orgrim in advance have certainly fulfilled our obligations as allies. We can also join the Horde with confidence."

If the Horde wins, wouldn't that mean that the last elite guard of Lordaeron will be wiped out in advance? Then what's the difference between Lordaeron and a weak girl who can be ravaged at will?

"Hiss——" In the hall, there were countless sounds of people gasping for air.

They suddenly realized that this was the king they knew, the king who was as cunning as a fox and as shrewd as ever!

In either case, Alterac will be the winner.

Suddenly, there was a heated discussion in the hall, and almost every noble and general had a smile on his face.

"You are worthy of being His Majesty Perenolde for being able to resolve such a terrifying crisis into a sure win!"

"Sure enough, this is our way of survival in Alterac!"

A group of guys flattered King Aiden in the most corny way possible.

At this time, Aiden suddenly received a message: the envoy of the Horde had arrived.
