With a disgusting scent and the creaking of wood and the sound of bellows breaking, uninvited visitors arrived.

"Miss Administrative Officer. ”

He was probably laughing, right? Although he couldn't see the face under the black robe, he should be laughing when he heard the voice, right?

But his laughter, in addition to sending chills down the spine, does not bring the message that laughter is supposed to send.

"Fall...... Bacchus ...... Banks...... Mr. ”

Anne's face twisted as she muttered the strange names that often knotted her tongue, and she maliciously wondered why the undead blood-colored crusaders were still alive on earth.

"I can't leave Alexander's little granddaughter alone, I want to watch her regain my grandfather's glorious deeds. Farbanks laughed, his voice like the strange wind in the barren desert, and he explained why he knew what Anne was thinking: "You are better at implementing government affairs and dealing with details than Loria, but you still need more practice in seeing through people's hearts and controlling your own expressions." ”

Anne frowned, aside from the identity of the undead, the strange outfit and disgusting scent to disguise the identity of the undead, and the awkward name, the most annoying thing about Fairbanks was that he always put on a pointing elder.

"You're still too young and too simple, I haven't been to any country in Lordaeron, and I'll tell you, I've been through a hundred battles......"

"What's the matter with you?" interrupted Fairbanks' chatter, she was the one sitting in the commander's seat with the power in her hands.

"Don't be angry, Miss Ann Linser. Farbanks smiled again, without the slightest annoyance that his words were interrupted, "I have been imprisoned for many years, and I have always had to protect myself by pretending to be crazy and stupid, and although I have been carefree lately, I still have the habit of pretending to be stupid, and I apologize to you." ”

"Okay. ”

"I'm here to give you some private opinions, do you know about the island that Loria recently discovered?"

When he mentions Anne, he will refer to her by the name of the Administrator or very formally by Ann Linser and add Miss, but when he mentions Loria as the leader, he only calls her by her first name, perhaps in his eyes, Loria is like a granddaughter?

"I know, but I haven't been. ”

"I haven't been there either, but Mills told me that it's a paradise island of peace and tranquility, and I think it will ease the current acute situation and bring us a lot of benefits. ”

"You mean immigrants? But we've got a lot of snow. ”

"There is a great risk in sending people fleeing the war to another world...... You know, the crusaders weren't too ...... in their eyes It's not good, and letting our technology and knowledge spread to the Nords is obviously not conducive to our rule over Xueman...... Large-scale migration is always difficult to manage, and we don't have that many people. After a moment's pause, Fairbanks continued, seeing Anne nod, "That island is different, it's in Azeroth, but it's closed off from the surroundings. ”

"But Loria has given up on the island. ”

"She's a smart girl, she's already surprised me too much, but she can't do everything perfectly, and that's when we need our help, and immigrating to that island will bring great benefits, and your troubles will be solved. ”

"Huh?"

"You can implement a measure where two members of your family can join the army and relocate to the fertile land surrounded by mist, which will solve the problem of lack of troops and will not require many people to manage the people, and you can divide the land among the nobles and warriors, Lolia will reap the gratitude of everyone, and even the most conservative crusaders will not refuse a land that can produce food, and these people will help us build a reliable logistics base without us investing any resources...... They're so busy worrying about their own business that they won't have time to embarrass you. ”

"Hmm......"

Anne fell into deep thought.

……

The nightmarish underground journey was finally over, and as the first warrior dragged his tired body out of the cave cautiously, he saw the Commander and her best friend sitting on a branch, eating apples under the dense canopy, their faces showing no tiredness, and even their clothes were as clean and tidy as they had been when they first entered the underground.

No doubt he had reached the Valley of the Hearth, and he wanted to fall down on the grass and sleep well, but the Commander was smiling at him, and more warriors were coming behind him, and he mustered himself to stand as straight as he could, and after this difficult march, he felt a little awe when he saw Loria unscathed.

Soon after, Clement shouted that the scouts had been dispatched, and it was said that the crusaders here had fallen into chaos and cannibalism, and that they must always be on the lookout for attacks from their former companions.

The small number of troops on the expedition through the earth was quickly counted, and all the officers were unharmed, but one warrior and a dozen Nords were missing, and they may have not followed the ranks as ordered when they encountered a fork in the road, and now they are afraid to be lost forever...... No, it won't be long, and they will probably die soon due to lack of food and fresh water, and they are not good at surviving underground.

Loria frowned at Clement's report, Alice had cleaned up the way, they didn't encounter any enemies, and even then they lost a dozen people, and most of those who managed to arrive were already exhausted, covered with abrasions, and a few were badly injured...... There is an unlucky guy who bumps into a stalagmite head-on2, and it may be difficult to save his right eye.

"Set up camp here, set up a defensive line, and wait for the scout's report. ”

"But...... Miss, we don't know anything about our surroundings yet. ”

Loria shook her head, the exit Alice had opened was already in an inaccessible valley north of Hearthvale, and the latter had done enough reconnaissance to even go deep beyond the Scarlet Crusader camp in Hearthvale, where she found them in infighting.

After Loria explains to Clement, the latter is finally reassured, Alice is obviously a reliable partner, and the underground passage she has opened alone is enough to make everyone trust her.

"So, Miss Alice, could you please repeat to me what you observed the Crusaders in the south, where did they clash, and what was the scale?"

After arranging for the soldiers to camp and patrol, and to garrison them, Clement returned to the two of them and asked Alice for information.

With the incredible surprise attack and the infighting of the enemy, Clement seems to have seen the Pink Rose banner raised at the castle in Hearthvae.

"Hmm. Elie nodded earnestly, tilting her head to recall her experience, "They were in some kind of chaos, a bit like the days when Loria was imprisoned by Renault...... I approached the castle along the path and found themselves engaged in a small civil war under the walls. ”

Loria and Clement were stunned, what is the ongoing skirmish?

They looked at each other and had an ominous premonition. (To be continued.) )
