Chapter 65: Alterac Uprising

Ivan was trembling while hugging two dwarf girls. A black-clad assassin who had just broken into the house almost killed him. If it weren't for an arrow that suddenly shot from outside the house and pierced his neck, he would have been dead by now.

"Tap... tap... tap" footsteps gradually approached, and Ivan subconsciously hugged the two dwarf girls.

A woman wearing a robe and a veil holding a crossbow came in from behind the door, and Ivan's nervous heart finally calmed down.

"Ms. Isa, did you save me just now?"

Isa nodded.

"Wow, thank you so much. If it weren't for you, I would have been dead. I have no grudge against him, why did he want to kill me?"

"No grudge?"

Isa pulled away the body of the man in black on the ground. The mark of the Perenolde family was clearly tattooed on his back.

Ivan looked at the mark in astonishment: "Perenolde? How could he?"

Isa's finger passed over the crossbow and explained: "Perenolde announced to the outside world that you had reached a contract with the orcs in his name, and forged a letter to let General Hass deploy defenses in the wrong place, which eventually caused the disaster in Lordaeron."

"What?" Ivan stood up angrily, waving his hands and feet randomly. "It was obviously him who nodded in agreement in the end, but he put all the responsibility on me!"

Isa glanced at him, and her mouth curled slightly under the veil. Really small, no wonder I can only play dwarves.

Ivan stared at Isa: "Does anyone believe such a clumsy lie of his?"

"As long as you don't confront him now, others will have to believe this lie."

Ivan suddenly became excited: "I will go to prove my innocence now!"

Isa spread her hands: "You don't think Perenolde only sent this one person? Or do you think you are good enough to cross the mountains?"

Ivan collapsed on the bed like a deflated ball.

Isa held the crossbow again with both hands: "Perenolde is a man of bad faith. We need some help from the locals. You have cooperated with us the most times. You will not refuse, right?"

"I... do I have any other choice..." The black-clad man on the ground and the shining arrow in Isa's hand were warning herself that if she did not agree, she would only die. If Perenolde is not sincere, I am afraid you will overthrow Alterac.

In a single room of the Golden Rose, Isa, Ivan, who was dressed, and several other people stood in front of a map of Alterac.

Isa pointed to a warehouse and said, "There is a batch of new equipment stored here. The ones guarding them are Alterac's logistics troops, and their combat effectiveness is low. Ivan, you take two teams of mercenaries and occupy the warehouse before they transport the weapons out. Seize these weapons, and then one team will occupy the palace, and the other team will attack the Golden Rose. We will take care of the rest."

Ivan asked, "Attack the Golden Rose?"

"Just do what I tell you to do, and don't ask so many questions."

"Okay."

Ivan followed the two mercenary captains out.

Isa asked a man in a dark robe: "How is the work of the local people going?"

"Our believers have been working in various residential areas for many days and can launch an uprising at any time."

Isa nodded: "Wait until there is a riot in the Golden Rose, and then you can start it."

The man in the dark robe said: "Leave it to me."

Isa said to the remaining man: "Our people will withdraw to Kozan Island one by one."

The man asked: "Can you fool Perenolde by letting the Golden Rose be attacked? She is a very cunning opponent."

"Maybe, maybe not, but even if it doesn't work, we still have other ways."

At the Alliance camp, a soldier covered in blood fell off his horse and crawled on the ground with all his limbs. Haas, who was patrolling, saw him and ran over to help him up.

"What happened? Why are you like this?"

"General...something happened in Alterac...Ivan Salosic and many residents rebelled! We can't resist..." The soldier kept talking about what happened in the city. Has was shocked and immediately asked his followers to take care of the soldier and ran to where Perenald was.

Perenald was still playing with a golden wine glass at this time. Hearing the news about Alterac, he was so shocked that he threw the glass away. Perenald grabbed Has's sleeve tightly.

"What did you say? Ivan Salosic and those bastards of Alterac rebelled? The garrison in the city has not yet held? The palace has also been occupied?"

Hass said, "That's what the soldiers reported."

Perenolde's hands trembled a little: "Then...then my treasure, wife and son are all controlled by them?"

"This... should be like this."

Perenolde covered his head and staggered back a few steps. Hass hurried forward to support Perenolde.

"Ivan Salosic!"

The angry voice was heard from a distance.

Perenolde sat on a stool, panting, and Hass stood aside. A soldier walked over and whispered in Hass's ear.

Haas bowed slightly and said to Perenolde: "Your Majesty, the people of the Golden Rose sent news that their inn was attacked, and they and the people of the Hearthstone Inn withdrew from Alterac."

"Damn it! Why did they withdraw! If they were still there, our people could use the Hearthstone to immediately return to Alterac and liberate my palace! Don't they have strong defenses in the inn? Why did they retreat when they were attacked?"

"Your Majesty, the messenger said that Ivan Salošić led the rebels to seize new weapons, and their defense array could not resist them."

Perenolde snorted coldly: "Humph! You boasted so much back then, but now it seems like bullshit! You can't even defend yourself with your own weapons, and you still claim to have absolute defense?"

Has said carefully: "Your Majesty, the messenger also said that Ivan spread rumors in the city that you signed an alliance with the orcs, and even posted your handwritten letter on the square."

"What?" Perenolde slammed the table angrily.

"Bang, bang, bang!" He shook his hands in pain. "Damn it! We must not let the people of those two countries know. Gather the troops and attack back for me!"

Has said, "Your Majesty, I sent people to investigate. Their troops are stationed at various passes. It is difficult to attack."

"Bang!" Perenolde slammed the table. "We have to take it down no matter how difficult it is! That is our capital! The capital!"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Haas had no choice but to accept the order and prepare to counterattack Alterac.

After Haas left, Perenolde immediately rubbed his hands and kicked the table: "Hiss, it hurts. What a broken table, I will chop you into firewood tonight!"

The news of the Alterac uprising has been known to King Terenas and King Soras. The two kings looked at each other with a different look in their eyes.
