When operating in someone else's territory, you still have to say hello to the owner first.
Before setting off from Quel'Thalas, Sharlayan entrusted Kael'thas to send a letter to Stannblade, the temporary capital of the Kingdom of Alterac.
The content of the letter was very simple, nothing more than reporting to King Etherton in advance about Sarlayan's itinerary.
Upon arriving in Dalaran, Sharlayan obtained Etherton's reply through the Quel'Thalas Embassy in Dalaran.
Etherton agreed to Sarlayan's secret operation in Durnholde Castle, but on the condition that it would not affect the overall direction of the Battle of Durnholde.
In order to prevent the combined forces of Gilneas and Alterac from accidentally injuring "friendly forces" during the siege, Sarlayan must inform King Zeon and General Haas, who command their respective armies, before the war officially begins.
General Haas is one of the few famous generals in Alterac. He once commanded the Alterac army to repel the invading Stormgard army, and also participated in the Second Orc War under the command of Alliance Grand Marshal Lothar.
, and made many military exploits.
After the Second War, the Kingdom of Alterac was stigmatized because of Aiden Perenold's stupid actions, and Haas was forced to deprive himself of military power by the Alliance after the war.
Although Haas later passed the rigorous review of the Alliance Intelligence Department, the country he had been loyal to for decades was easily destroyed due to a weak king. The frustrated Haas refused the recruitment of kings such as Terenas and Zeon.
, and has since retired sadly.
The restoration action led by Etherton was so vigorous that it was too late to find Haas who was hiding in seclusion somewhere.
It wasn't until the end of the Alterac War that the Kingdom of Alterac officially declared its restoration to the world. Haas, who had been living in seclusion in the countryside, heard the news and hurried to Steinblade to confirm the situation.
The rebuilt Kingdom of Alterac is in a state of desperate need and is in urgent need of talents in various fields.
Of course, for Haas, an experienced and famous player, Etherton would not just let him go into seclusion.
After repeated nudges from Etherton, Haas, who originally planned to retire and return to his hometown because of his old age, finally stayed.
Apart from Haas, there is really no serious handsome guy in the Alterac Kingdom today.
Etherton did not hesitate to confer the position of marshal in charge of the national army to Haas, and let him concurrently serve as the dean of the newly established military academy.
Etherton hoped that the experienced old Haas could cultivate a group of outstanding military talents for the new Kingdom of Alterac during his lifetime.
Even though Haas is already over sixty years old, as one of the few legendary warriors in Alterac, his physical condition is still very good, and his body is still muscular. It is not a problem to live for another 20 years.
Haas, who took office quickly, lived up to Etherton's trust.
In non-wartime conditions, while intensively training the new army at home, he was preparing to build a military academy with the help of auxiliary personnel sent by Etherton.
This kind of busy life makes Hass very happy. He is born with a character that cannot take time off. The years of living in seclusion with nothing to do made him very unaccustomed.
During this expedition to Durnholde, Haas, as the Marshal of Alterac, accepted the task of leading the expedition without hesitation.
Returning to a familiar battlefield after six years, Haas, whose hair and beard were all white, was already hungry and thirsty.
At the end of the Second Orc War, Sarlayan had a chance encounter with Haas when he passed by the Hillsbrad battlefield.
But at that time, Sarlayan was just an insignificant little guy, and this "one-time relationship" was really just a literal meaning.
Several years have passed since the end of the Second Orc War, and Haas, who was still high-spirited back then, is already showing his age.
King Genn Greymane, who is only in his early 50s this year, is full of energy, and he has the momentum of a dragon and a tiger when patrolling the military camp.
At this time, the king in his prime was looking at Sarlayan with a scrutinizing gaze, which was in sharp contrast to Haas who was sending out friendly signals at the side.
Although he regretfully missed the battle for the restoration of Alterac, Haas heard about the entire process behind the scenes of this two-front war from Etherton.
There is no doubt that Lord Thalayan Deepshadow played an extremely important role in the restoration of Alterac.
However, due to his own wishes, Sarlayan's reputation remained unknown throughout the war.
In the words of Danmu, this is called brushing off your clothes and hiding your merit and fame.
Haas's loyalty and love for the Kingdom of Alterac is unquestionable. For Sharlayan, a great benefactor who helped restore the kingdom, Haas had a good impression of him from the beginning.
Gene's attitude is completely opposite to Haas's. This is a different perception caused by their different positions.
After learning that a high elf who called himself Sarlayan Deep Shadow was asking for a meeting outside the military camp, Haas, who was handling military affairs, personally came to the gate and warmly invited Sarlayan to sit down in the main camp.
Haas's unusual behavior naturally alarmed Jean, who was in the same camp.
Although he was quite dissatisfied with Quel'Thalas gaining both fame and fortune during the Battle of Alterac, Genn had to admit that Sharlayan, who had planned the whole process to assist Alterac's restoration, was indeed very skillful.
If Sarlayan and his party hadn't created a bridge between the Syndicate, Ravenholdt and Etherton, with the strength of the Alterac exile army at that time, I am afraid that even Lordaeron's first wave of offensive would not have been able to stop it.
Even reinforcements from Gilneas could not arrive.
Under the mediation of Quel'Thalas, Lordaeron, which had always been tough before, finally agreed to sit on the negotiating table, and the Battle of Alterac ended smoothly.
When everything settled, Jean heard some uncertain rumors from his country's intelligence agencies.
It is said that the reason why Lordaeron, who has always kept his eyes high, changed his stance was because a certain high elf marquis went deep behind enemy lines and used his sharp tongue to persuade Princess Calia, who had never held a stance before, to let her enter.
Help Lordaeron's dove faction seize the right to speak.
Just when Jean was surprised by this news that was uncertain whether it was true or not, Prince Liam gave a definite answer through a private communication with Alsace.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! This incident did happen, and the high elf noble was none other than Sharlayan Deep Shadow, who left the main battlefield of the Alterac War early.
Of course, Arthas didn't sound very nice when he told Liam about this in private.
In his opinion, this high elf playboy not only snatched Jaina from him, but also went so far as to steal his own sister's heart, which was simply unforgivable.
Liam is not interested in this kind of emotional gossip. Similar grudges and jealousies are not uncommon among royal families in various countries.
After learning the whole story from Liam, Genn was amazed by Sharlayan's multi-front operations during the war, and once lamented why such a talent was not born in Gilneas.
The admiration for Sharlayan's abilities stems from a personal standpoint. From the perspective of the Kingdom of Gilneas, who has contributed the most but has not received the most in return, Jean does have reason to express his dissatisfaction with Quel'Thalas, who is silently making a fortune.
As the Marquis of Quel'Thalas and the most senior advisor to the Sun King Kael'thas, Sarlayan is undoubtedly one of the top leaders of Quel'Thalas and can even represent Quel'Thalas on certain occasions.
position.
Genn never gave Sarlayan any good looks from the beginning of their meeting. Even though he was very interested in "Salayan Deep Shadow", as the king of the Kingdom of Gilneas, he must play his role well and fight for
can seek more benefits for the country.
"Hmph! Are you Sarlayan Deep Shadow? You look ordinary."
Just when Haas was enthusiastically touting Sharlayan's plan and layout for the Battle of Alterac, Genn finally couldn't help but jump out and pour cold water on him.
Haas, who was smiling all over his face, had a hint of unhappiness in his eyes, but Haas's rich life experience in being able to live to this age did not reveal any clues on his face.
Some people in the barrage had been staring at Haas, catching his fleeting change in demeanor.
[What? It’s rare for me to brag about someone so shamelessly, but you have to jump out and take advantage of me? Isn’t this a slap in the face to my face?]
【Grass, reality.】
The "unremarkable" Sarlayan had long predicted that Gene would not have a good look on him, and smiled with an unchanging expression: "Yes, I am Sarlayan Deep Shadow. It is an honor to meet you.
King Zeon of Gilneas."
Sarlayan's response, which was neither urgent nor slow, neither humble nor overbearing, made Jean angry.
If he meets Sarlayan alone, he will inevitably use the topic to make some use of it.
Unfortunately, there was an important official from another country watching next to him, so Jean could not ignore it and look for trouble.
Jean looked at Sarlayan's calm eyes with an unkind expression: 'I don't believe I can't find any flaws in you, just wait and see, boy!'
