A kilometer above the sea west of Stormwind City, Lothar and his Gryphon Knights followed Duque's Gryphon and flew at high speed.
"Is the news true?"
"When my Naga sent me the news, I informed you and His Majesty Laing immediately. We have to hurry, or we'll have to collect the corpses of those guys. "
When he heard Duque say that the nobles' fleet had been attacked, there was a moment when Lothar instinctively suspected that Duque was the one behind it.
The reason was simple. As the upstart of Stormwind City, Duque had always been at odds with the traditional nobles. Even the Brando family, which had a direct conflict with Duque in the past, had never shown any signs of reconciliation on any formal occasions.
Even if they wanted to stab you in the back a thousand times and insert steel needles into each of your fingers, the nobles would still maintain their elegance and demeanor in front of others.
If it weren't for the blood of Thoradin The Great and the friendship of Laing, Lothar might have long been killed in a dark corner of Stormwind City, and his corpse would have rotted away.
Duque … Although Lothar trusted him, he could never see through Duque.
At such a tense time, there was no need for Duque to lie to him and Laing. Instead, he fabricated an attack on the nobles to lure him away.
Lothar had no choice but to save the nobles. After all, among all human kingdoms, the nobles were known as the cornerstones of the country. In fact, there was even a saying in the upper class of many kingdoms: "The useless peasants can die, but as long as there are wise and brave nobles, the country can be revived even if it's destroyed."
Lothar did not want to save them, but he had no choice.
Andoine and Duque were the only cards that Laing could play.
"Duque, aren't your Nagas supposed to escort the fleet?"
"Please, I only have more than 100 Nagas and a few thousand useless murlocs. Please, this route is nearly 1,000 nautical miles long! How much territory do you expect to guard? But I've asked them to hurry. But looking at the schedule, we should arrive first. "
The attack on the nobles' fleet was indeed a blind spot for him and all of the upper echelons of Stormwind. Rather than saying that it was a blind spot, it was more accurate to say that the Orcs' attacks were too powerful and attracted all of their attention.
Just by imagining it, one would know that such a weak guard was loaded with the wealth of the noble families for thousands of years. It would be abnormal if it did not attract the attention of pirates, right?
Noxus didn't say anything and followed Duke silently with over thirty Gryphon Knights.
Duque didn't take any detours. He went straight to the scene.
That was an hour after the battle between the Bloodsail Pirates and the noble's fleet.
The situation was so chaotic that Lothar didn't know what was going on.
More than 20 Bloodsail Pirate Ships surrounded the battle in the middle, not daring to approach. In the battle, almost every two Bloodsail Pirate Ships sandwiched a Stormwind warship, initiating a white soldier battle.
The ships on the periphery were like chicken ribs, tasteless and a pity to abandon. They didn't dare to open fire, nor did they dare to send pirates to help their own ships.
Because every warship was in a melee. The protagonists of the melee were not the nobles' private soldiers, nor the Bloodsail Pirates, nor were they Nagas or Murlocs. Instead, they were demons emitting blazing heat.
Riding the Griffin and circling half a circle in the sky, Lothar's face turned green.
If the Bloodsail Pirates had released the demons to attack the nobles of Stormwind, Lothar would have jumped down without a second thought.
Obviously, it was the Bloodsail Pirates who were being slaughtered.
The blue-skinned, burly Demon Guards were incomparably dazzling under the sunlight. They brandished their huge axes, and with their outstanding combat talent, they laughed wildly on the shaking ship, wantonly killing the Blood Sail Pirates whose morale had already collapsed.
The scene was like a butcher with a blood-stained knife chasing a fat pig that had nowhere to run. The pig's death was only a matter of time.
So, the demons were released by the nobles?
However, seeing many of the nobles' private soldiers and corpses lying on the deck, Lothar knew that things were not that simple.
At this moment, Duque could not help but sneer in his heart.
That's right!
He was the one who orchestrated this whole situation!
He spent a full three months asking Makarov to secretly collect the opinions of the nobles in Stormwind and verify them one by one. After obtaining a large amount of evidence of the nobles' crimes, he made a death list.
Of course, Phame Brando and his family were at the top of his must-kill list. Below them were the allies of the Brando family.
As a transmigrator, Duque was very clear about the nature of the nobles, and what these greedy fellows would do when their lives were threatened.
Duque had waited for this day for a long time.
After the Dark Portal opened, he had long ago contacted the Bloodsail Pirates in the south of Stranglethorn Vale through secret means. As an ambitious butler of the nobles who wanted a piece of the pie, he told them how the nobles would transport away their thousand-year-old wealth.
Duque had also thought about what would happen if he implicated the Stormwind navy. In that instant, Duque also hesitated. He did not want to kill a good person by mistake.
But the heavens gave Duque another great opportunity.
It was a group of nobles that Windsor had rescued from Karazhan.
Baron Rafer Drugel
Count Crispin Ferens
Countess Dorothy Millsdeep
Countess Katriona Warnindy
…
Duque was familiar with every one of these guys.
Why?
Because these guys were originally part of the Karazhan dungeon of Warcraft. They were the secondary Bosses under the second Boss butler Moroes!
From what Duque knew, these guys were already undead when he saw them. If Ralph Drugel could use the Paladin's Sanction skill, he should be the father of Jules Drugel, the deputy mayor of Twilight Forest's Night Town …
Duque knew about this as soon as he came out of Karazhan. He did not believe that these guys, who were supposed to be one of the Bosses, could escape from Karazhan full of demons unscathed.
Duque took the opportunity to get close to a few of them. Just like when Duque used the system elf to discover that there was something wrong with Medivh, who was possessed by Sargeras.
In his retina, he saw the Boss template of these guys, with the word "demon" attached. Duke was laughing so hard that his belly almost burst.
That's right, these demons were part of the insurance that Duque had set up. It could ensure that even if one day a great detective was so resourceful and found evidence of his collusion with the Bloodsail Pirates, Laing would not blame him for this matter.
The demons were led in by the nobles themselves.
Who could be blamed for leading the wolf into the house?
Perhaps it was because of this that Stormwind wanted to cover up this disaster of "most of the kingdom's nobles are demons".
In the end, perhaps this was a murder that had once been treading on thin ice. If one part went wrong, the reputation that Duque had worked so hard to build would no longer exist.
But after Duque carried out the [Perfect Murder] to the end, he could establish a perfect ending that was beneficial to the whole kingdom and even all of humanity. When the goal was achieved, the truth of this murder would never need to be exposed.
