Chapter 422 What is a Double Agent? (Tactical Lean Back)
In terms of overall strategy, Inas is indeed more difficult to deal with.
But her long life is not in vain. In addition to research on biology and genetic engineering, she has also accumulated a lot of experience in various aspects after traveling in Azeroth for so many years.
If it was just that Julian and Villes had been delayed in returning the goods, and even Valeela who went to call for help failed to come back, Inas immediately realized that something was wrong.
"Is this important information suddenly sent..."
Sarlayan touched his chin thoughtfully: "It's not impossible. I hadn't heard from Kael'thas when I entered the palace before. Most of this information is still being analyzed at the headquarters of the Backlight Blade."
The Backlight Blade is a professional intelligence agency trained by the Sun Chaser royal family. No one dares to reach out to this organization casually.
At present, Sarlayan and others have nothing to think about. They can only continue to wait patiently for the return of the three people. Maybe they can get some information from them that is allowed to be leaked.
Someone at home is busy with work and has not returned home. The whole family is thinking about it and some of them can't sleep.
Strong dragons such as Sharlayan, Stellagosa, and Inas had no problem staying up late, but Alyssa, who was pregnant, couldn't stand the torment.
After some convincing, Inas persuaded the rather uneasy Alyssa to go back to the master bedroom and stay with her until she fell asleep.
With nothing else to do, Sharlayan simply took out the Hearthstone card game made according to the barrage suggestions, and took turns playing against Stellagosa and Little Tina.
"Wow~ Good fight."
"The Holy Light will stain you to death!"
"Damn it, I almost died from you, but luckily I'm better at it."
Stellagosa: "???"
As a beginner, Stellagosa is still trying to adapt to this new set of card game rules.
Sharlayan had already started spouting trash talk under the instigation of the barrage, which made Stellagosa feel a little emotional.
"No more playing!"
Always losing, never winning.
The little Xingxing, who was so abused that she had no power to fight back, finally lay down and angrily threw the cards on the table.
Tinagosa is very talented in playing. Seeing her sister giving up her qualification, she immediately happily stepped forward to take over the position.
Before Sharlayan could reshuffle the cards, the maid's greeting suddenly came from outside the gate of the Deep Shadow Mansion.
"Master, Master Julian, Miss Valeera, welcome back. Master Sarlayan and Miss Stella are still waiting in the living room."
"Thanks for your hard work."
Villes's voice was a little hoarse: "You guys go down and rest first, we still have some things to discuss."
"yes."
"Crunch~"
The heavy solid wood door opened inward, and three people who were in poor mental condition walked in one after another.
It can be seen from their slightly heavy expressions that something bad may have happened.
After exchanging glances with the three of them, Sarlayan immediately understood what they meant. With a wave of his hand, he packed all the cards on the table into space and followed the three of them towards the study.
Seeing the cards being taken away, Tina Gosa curled her lips in depression.
However, she was sensible enough to understand that Sarlayan was busy with business, so she did not make trouble unreasonably. She flew to sit on top of Sarlayan obediently, and followed everyone to the study without saying a word.
…
"Let's take a look at this first."
After sitting down one after another in the study, Villes, who looked exhausted, threw a decrypted message on the desk, stood up, and poured a glass of magic wine for himself and Julian to refresh themselves.
The magic wine of Unicorn Town became very popular after it was spread in the high-rise buildings of Quel'Thalas.
As Sarlayan's uncle, Veles naturally has extra privileges and can get a large amount of magic wine directly from Unicorn Town.
As a die-hard royal who has always been loyal to the royal family, Verres was given two Arcandor fruits, which he and Alyssa took respectively, completely getting rid of the trouble of magic addiction.
Not to mention Sarlayan's family, he was one of the biggest contributors to the discovery of Arcandor's existence. As a reward, both Valerie Leian and Julian ate the Arcandor fruit early.
Valeera doesn't like drinking. She thinks alcohol will numb her nerves and make her think slowly.
And Valeera happens to be a senior intelligence officer who needs to remain calm and rational at all times.
Villeless also knew Valeera's habits and didn't force her.
He raised his neck and poured the wine in the glass into his mouth at once, and Villes let out a long breath of wine.
Sarlayan read through the decrypted information at a glance, and his long silver eyebrows gradually frowned.
'Is it at this time?'
Putting down the letter, Sarlayan's eyes flashed coldly.
This information was just returned from Northrend this evening. The decryptors of Backlight Blade worked all night and finally cracked the code in the shortest possible time.
Since he decided to take over Crystalsong Forest, Kael'thas would certainly not start preparations until the end came.
The thieves of Backlight Blade have arrived at their destination first and have begun to collect relevant information about various areas around Crystal Song Forest.
Originally, Kael'thas didn't plan to pay too much attention to Icecrown Glacier, but an accident happened at this time.
The information from the Backlight Blade intelligence personnel in front came that at noon today, the highest iceberg in Icecap Glacier suddenly moved. It seemed that someone was digging into it.
Due to the continuous avalanches and ice shedding at the scene, intelligence personnel did not dare to get too close and could only observe from a distance and wait for further instructions from the headquarters.
Others didn't know the whole story, but Sarlayan, who had been prepared for it, understood it immediately.
'The Lich King Ner'zhul, Helm of Domination, Frostmourne, and the five Dreadlords responsible for monitoring him.'
According to the information provided by the barrage, the Helm of Dominance and Frostmourne both came from the Shadow Realm and were hand-made by the war master controlled by the Warden.
The Lord of War is the Eternal One who rules Maldraxxus and is one of the five people who hold the highest authority on the Death Side.
According to the barrage, he is the only one among the Eternals other than the Warden who works hard to do good things and has the ability to carry.
The other three Eternals, the eldest daughter... what are they?
In short, the eldest daughter who was promoted to the fortress was a novice, and was seriously injured by a sneak attack by a mortal priest controlled by the warden.
The Winter Queen, the sister of Moon Goddess Elune, is a fisherman. She may not be bad at strength, but she is just trying to make a fool of herself throughout the whole process and has no real character at all.
Emperor Denathrius of Revendreth was a shameful young man who surrendered to the warden early.
Frostmourne and the Helm of Domination were the Dreadlords he released into the material world, telling them to lie that they were made by the Nathrezim themselves.
It's a pity that the only soldier who did serious business was defeated by the warden and imprisoned. He should be called the Talisman Carver at this time.
Judging from the timeline mentioned in the barrage, the Shadow Realm should not have fallen into anima crisis at this period.
At least until Kael'thas and Vashj died in the original history and their souls were taken to the Shadow Realm, the Warden would not officially launch an attack.
But the warden had already begun his planning, and the Dreadlord joined the Burning Legion as a spy even before the eredar.
Kil'jaeden, known as the Deceiver, has always been cunning and good at controlling the evil of human nature.
However, due to lack of information, he was deceived by the warden and his family.
Kil'jaeden thought that Ner'zhul was under his control throughout the whole process, but because the Dread Lord was secretly causing trouble, Ner'zhul made many small moves behind Kil'jaeden's back.
In fact, these small actions were watched by the Dreadlords throughout the process, but they did not convey all the information to Kil'jaeden. Instead, they informed Denathrius and the Warden in another world.
Helm of Domination and Frostmourne are both preparations made by the Warden for the future invasion of Azeroth. Ner'zhul is at best a user, not their master.
No matter how complicated the relationship network behind Ner'zhul is, Kil'jaeden and the Warden at least cannot come to Azeroth in person, and can only send the Dreadlord to interfere.
Both sides believe that the Dread Lord is loyal to them. The difference is that one thinks so, and the other is the Dread Lord's true master.
Sarlayan discussed with Danmaku for a long time before he came back to his senses and spoke again.
"I probably know what happened to the Icecap Glacier. The matter involves a wide range of things, and I can't explain it in just a few words."
"In short, our plan remains unchanged, but we need to improve our preparedness for the Icecap Glacier."
"I plan to have the engineers and arcane puppets dispatched with the army build a dam on the upper reaches of the river in advance to serve as a frontline fortress to avoid sudden attacks from above the cliff."
"We also have to move faster... Stella, get ready, we will set off directly tomorrow morning."
