Chapter 92: Arrest and Seal

Garin came out of the palace with a hint of excitement. He had done so much preparation just for the title of duke.

In the human world of Azeroth, possessing a title means possessing a certain degree of autonomy and having no right to interfere with the ruling kingdom of one's fiefdom. In this way, one can operate on one's own and designate the Eastern Territory as one's own territory. One does not have to worry about others interfering in the planning of the territory, and can also protect the secrets of the base to the greatest extent.

With Solas' authorization, Garin walked out of the palace with a proud look on his face, holding the order to dispatch the Highland Knights in his hand.

He gave the transfer order to Gandalf, asking him to go to the Knights' headquarters and inform Commander Amaron to set out from the headquarters at the Wall of Thoradin in three days to encircle the western side of the Marquis of Northford's fiefdom.

Then Gandalf led the Red Flame Army out of the construction site in Isengard, teleported them to Dabile Farm, and marched quickly along the mountains from east to west to the east of Northford Farm, blocking the east.

Garin waited for the Rock Legion to escort the prisoners to patrol the outskirts of Stromgarde today, leaving two thousand people to cooperate with the garrison of the royal city to guard the troll prisoners. He used group teleportation to bring the remaining six thousand people to Newo Farm and surrounded Northford Farm from the south.

That's right, this time Garin wants to capture Marquis Northford, a noble family with a long history like the Trollbane family, an ancient lord who has continued from the time of Emperor Thoradin to the present.

Crime: treason!

The evidence is the letters collected from the Deadwood Village. There is a hidden mark in the corner of the parchment. It is normal that Garin does not recognize it. This is the family emblem of the Northford family during the Arathor Empire era.

Garin, who was not interested in learning the noble emblems, did not know him, but the current Trollbane chieftain, King Thoras of Stromgarde, knew him.

According to royal records, after Stromgarde was rebuilt, most of the nobles who remained swore allegiance to the House of Trollbane. In order to curry favor with them, they more or less changed their family crests to symbolize compliance with the new era.

The Northford family, the great nobles who once attempted to compete with the Trollbane family, was the last to change the family seal.

The letter uses an ancient family crest, and the ambition is obvious!

The content of the letter showed that Marquis Northford was not only a traitor to the country, but also cooperated with the trolls to do many dirty deals, including participating in the assassination of the royal family twelve years ago, infiltrating the southeast mining area, and selling the mining area defense map, causing the kingdom to lose a wealthy mining area.

Of course, the reason why Garin was so active was that Marquis Northford was involved in the assassination of members of the royal family, and that royal family member included him!

Jialin will never forget that when he first came through, he opened his eyes and saw a dagger coming from the darkness stabbing towards his heart. It was a noble lady who risked her life to help Jialin block the attack!

When the trolls attacked some time ago, Garin had told Count Dabire and others about his guess that there was a traitor inside the kingdom, because he clearly remembered that he was assassinated by a human and a troll stealth with long fangs.

That assassination made him realize that he had traveled to Azeroth, and the trolls looked exactly the same as in the game. Also, the biological mother of this body helped him block the fatal blow, and the relief and reluctance she showed when she fell in a pool of blood was something that Garin would never forget!

This time I have caught the real culprit, I have to kill them with my own hands. First, to avenge the mother of this body, and second, I was so scared by the stalker that I wet my pants. If I don't take revenge, I will never be able to get rid of the hatred in my heart!

Ashley!

The process of surrendering prisoners went smoothly. The people of Stromgarde were all martial, and the large number of troll captives excited the residents of the royal city. The kingdom's victory over foreign races made them proud, and at the same time aroused a new round of enthusiasm for joining the army. The prince's troops were the most popular!

At this moment, Garin has used group teleportation three times. After Gandalf's strength reaches the peak of the ninth level, the number of people that can be brought by group teleportation has increased to two thousand.

Garin met with the Viscount at Newo Farm and informed him of his father's order, asking him to secretly notify the nobles within the royal party and prepare to stabilize the people's hearts.

Garin led his army out of his fiefdom and marched quickly all the way to Northford Farm!

On the morning of the third day, the sun was still high in the mountains and the high ground was shrouded in gray fog. The early-rising farmers on the manor had just gotten up and walked out of a house with sleepy eyes when they saw a huge team rushing in from all directions, directly taking control of the patrolling guards and surrounding the largest manor in the town.

To be honest, Garin's mobilization of nearly three legions of troops was not an exaggeration. As the second most powerful noble family in the kingdom after the royal family, the Northford family owned a private army of more than 5,000 people.

This is still the number on the surface. Who knows how many troops a noble with a rebellious heart has hidden in secret.

Moreover, as an ancient noble lord, years of intermarriage have also formed an aristocratic group headed by the Northford family.

Garin's idea is to use group teleportation, to control time with space, and to solve the core of this interest group with lightning speed. When there is no leader, it is easy for the group to scatter!

The rest of the people were handed over to their father, who used political means to win over one group and attack another, in order to eliminate the cancer within the kingdom in the shortest time and at the lowest cost.

The Highland Knights are worthy of being the most powerful legion in Stromgarde. The weakest of them is at level four. Commander Amaren is also a hot-tempered female hero. When the Red Flame and the Rock surrounded the manor, she led the Knights directly into the manor!

With Amaren as the vanguard, Garin would of course rush to do this offensive job. The Northford family would be finished, but the other nobles would not be punished with death.

Solas would only eliminate the Northford family and the few families closest to them, and would at most give a warning to the remaining small nobles. Commander Amaren would lead the charge, while Galinle would play tricks.

The Highland Knights were so famous, and together with the Scarlet Flame and Rock Legions, and three ninth-rank warriors in charge, the Marquis and his private army were unable to put up any resistance.

The main reason was that the private army was confused, and the Marquis had not realized that his own crime had been exposed. The family had been dormant for thousands of years, and the time had never been ripe. He had never shown any rebellious intentions, but had been making trouble in secret.

Amaren didn't care about all that. The king's order, plus the fact that the Marquis had an affair with the trolls and betrayed the army's deployment, touched her sore spot. She didn't care about anything and just arrested him first.

In the meeting hall of Stromgarde, only two or three months had passed since the last kingdom meeting, and at this moment, nobles from all over the country gathered together again.

The demise of the Northford family is a foregone conclusion. Everyone still vaguely remembers that twelve years ago, after the queen was assassinated, the king turned his grief into strength and struck all the surrounding troll forces, and even took this opportunity to be promoted to the legendary level.

When the truth of the assassination was revealed, they really couldn't imagine how terrible the king's wrath was!

The final result was that the Marquis of Northford was executed and his family members were demoted to slavery. Also executed were two earls and three viscounts, who were diehard fans and in-laws of the Northford family.

The vacant one marquisate, two earls and three viscounties made the other noble lords of the kingdom covetous. This was a big piece of fat meat. According to convention, a new round of interest exchange began!

Everyone focused their attention on these rich and fully developed lands. No one objected to Solas's appointment of the prince, who was just about to turn thirteen, as the crown prince, and the title of Grand Duke of Tokaral, with the fiefdom of the Eastern Mountains.
