Although it was already dark, there were still quite a few people on the street. Although Jiang Jie and Fenna looked outstanding, they only attracted a few glances at most. The people here didn't recognize Jiang Jie, nor did they recognize Fenna dressed like this.
But Carlos definitely knows him.
So when Jiang Jie and Fenna followed him into an empty alley, Carlos stopped.
"My lord." Carlos looked at Jiang Jie, then glanced at Fenna, clearly recognizing Fenna, and thus made no attempt to hide it.
He looked around, then lowered his voice and said, "I am Carlos."
"I know it's you." Jiang Jie said seriously, "Don't worry, no one can monitor me without being detected. What mission are you on?"
" The Assassins' Order noticed a clue, and the Assassins' League has made similar discoveries. Lord Miles, considering my past dealings with the Dreadlord, assigned me to this mission," Carlos said in a low voice. "I've been here for half a month, and I'm basically certain that the Assassins' Order's information is correct."
Jiang Jie's expression changed slightly.
After the battle of Southshore, Jiang Jie issued a top-secret mission: to use all means to find the whereabouts of the three Dreadlord.
Because those three Dreadlord are too terrifying; each of them is an expert in intrigue and treachery, capable of wreaking havoc on a city or even a country!
Therefore, Jiang Jie attached great importance to this matter and even authorized Miles to seek help from the Assassins' League.
The Assassins' League is the oldest and most powerful assassin organization in the world. Although many have heard its legends, only the most elite know that it truly exists, with its headquarters located somewhere in the Alterac Mountains, in a place called " Ravenholdt Manor ".
The current leader is Duke Jorach Ravenholdt.
Although they are all assassin organizations, they also have both competition and cooperation.
Of course, Stormwind City's SI:7, with the support of the Kingdom, is capable of going toe-to-toe with the Assassins' League, while the Lordaeron Royal Assassins are far inferior, not even in the same league.
Miles, as a high-ranking assassin, was aware of the Assassins' League and had even had contact with it. Patriarch Alexei, on the other hand, was quite familiar with the Assassins' League, having cooperated extensively with them. He owed his position as chieftain to the Assassins' League's assistance, and thus, Jiang Jie learned a great deal about the Assassins' League from him.
The Assassins' League includes various races, not only humans, Dwarves, High Elf, and Gnomes, but also Night Elf, Tauren, Troll, and even Orcs from another Alliance.
This organization is neither on Horde side of the Horde nor the Alliance, and it has no interest in the Scourge either.
The Assassins' League is neither black nor white; they'll serve you as long as you pay them.
Miles must have paid a heavy price, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to get the Assassins' League to investigate the whereabouts of the three Dreadlord. That would have been very difficult, requiring a lot of manpower, and would have cost tens of thousands of gold coins.
"Who is it, and who is it disguised as?" Jiang Jie asked.
Two months ago, Lord Valdelmar personally led a thousand new recruits to the Corin's Crossing to assist Lord Fenna in exterminating the thousands of Undead there.
Carlos glanced at Fenna, and seeing Fenna nod, he continued, "That battle was fierce; thirty percent of the thousand recruits were lost. On the way back to Tyr's Hand, they encountered an attack by the Undead. Lord Valdelmar and his fifty personal guards were separated from the others, and he was the only one left when he returned. According to him, everyone else perished, and only he survived."
Jiang Jie looked at Fenna, Fenna nodded and said, "I know about this. After that battle, I led the Ashen Army to Darrowshire. On the way back, I heard about it and was planning to come to Tyr's Hand. However, Liadrin quickly sent someone to inform me that another group of Undead had been discovered in the Plaguewood. I was in a hurry to get back, so I didn't come to Tyr's Hand."
Carlos nodded and said, " Lord Valdelmar himself wasn't very strong. Among his personal guards were assassins and mages, but none of them survived except him. When Lord Miles was analyzing the relevant data, he discovered that after Lord Valdelmar returned to Tyr's Hand, he had less contact with others and rarely showed his face. This was different from his usual behavior, so I came."
"What did you find?" Jiang Jie asked, frowning.
"Seven days ago, a corpse was transported out of the city lord's mansion. It was the body of a guard from the city lord's mansion, supposedly killed by disease," Carlos replied. "I secretly examined him. Although he did have the plague virus, his face was contorted, making it seem more like... he died of fright!"
Were you scared to death?
The Dreadlord's tricks!
"Did you find out who was impersonating Lord Valdelmar?" Jiang Jie asked.
"I don't know." Carlos shook his head. "The imposter's ability to mimic is very strong; even General Abbendis didn't notice anything unusual. However, based on the information we've obtained, and the information you got from Dalaran, I'm almost certain it's some kind of Dreadlord!"
Is it really the Dreadlord?
This is a difficult situation.
Lord Valdelmar is a high-ranking nobleman whose family has been in power for generations. However, he has only been Paladin for a short time and his strength is far inferior to that of the other Grand Knight. Dreadlord to select him.
In this way, he could manipulate Lord Valdelmar and thus corrupt Tyr's Hand.
Tyr's Hand has 80,000 men, including nearly 10,000 soldiers, making it a true military stronghold!
If the Dreadlord takes control of this city, even if it's exposed, Lordaeron won't be able to do anything about it. To breach this place...
I wonder how many people will die!
"Where is Lord Valdelmar?" Jiang Jie asked seriously, deciding to make a decision immediately.
He wanted to find Lord Valdelmar immediately, force him to reveal his true form in public, and then try to kill him.
" General Abbendis's daughter, Miss Brigitte, is having her coming-of-age ceremony this year. The General hosted a banquet at his home, and all the high-ranking members of Tyr's Hand attended." Carlos said with a wry smile, " Lord Valdelmar was also there. But I am of lowly status and not qualified to attend."
"Is there something wrong with this banquet?" Jiang Jie keenly sensed something amiss.
" General Abbendis was in charge of training the new recruits for the Tyr's Hand, so he lived at the training grounds. The training grounds covered a large area, so they couldn't be located in the city, but rather in the valley to the north. Although several thousand new recruits lived there, General Abbendis's residence was separate, guarded by only a few dozen personal guards."
Carlos said, "Now all the high-ranking officials of Tyr's Hand are there. Once the Dreadlord, kills everyone, and then finds some demons to impersonate, then the entire Tyr's Hand will be finished!"
"Just as I thought."
Jiang Jie looked north, his voice icy. "Then, let's go now!"
