Chapter 117 (Two Watches)

"What's going on? Our sentinels have spotted signs of fighting here. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" Sylvanas stepped forward and looked Benny up and down. Gavin Rad nodded at Benny.

"Assassinated by two thieves. Benny spread his hands.

"Thieves?" Sylvanas frowned, and Gavinrad's face was furious.

"I was on my way to the temporary settlement in Lordaeron, and I ran into them on the way, but it was settled. Benny gestured to two piles of ash on the ground.

"Did Stormwind do it?" Sylvanas said coldly.

"Probably not, Varian wouldn't do such a thing. ”

"Who could that be?" Gavin Rad was also strange that Benny was supposed to be here for the first time.

"I can't think of anyone else who would assassinate you but Stormwind. "Kill Benny, and the 'Dawn Light' will be initially dismantled, and Stormwind will be able to absorb Lordaeron's refugees and the military power of the 'Dawn Light' to strengthen itself.

Benny sighed: "The situation here is very complicated, all kinds of forces are mixed in, and there are actually quite a few people who don't like me. Neither Twilighthammer nor the countess played by Onexia have a crush on him.

"Your human 'politics' has always been like this. Sylvanas pursed her lips in disgust.

Benny shrugged his shoulders and didn't speak.

"General, there's a group of people coming here, hoplites. "Lotherma's face was solemn, the hoplites were a difficult opponent for the Far Travelers.

"It should be the Royal Guards, let them withdraw. ”

Sylvanas gestured, and the Travelers stepped back behind Benny and Sylvanas. Gavin Rad led the paladins in front of them to form an array.

"It's okay, it's the king's man. Benny stepped out of the array and looked at the soldiers who were rushing across from him.

Silver heavy armor and shields, blue accents, and a striking lion head in the middle of his chest, Benny is all too familiar with this.

"Lord Smith, Lord Windranger, Lord Gavin Rad, I am Charlie Norne, Captain of the Royal Guard of Stormwind. ”

"Hello, Captain Norn. Benny nodded, and Sylvanas put on her hood and ignored it.

"We've found plenty of traces of Holy Light bursts here. So the king sent me to take a look. ”

"It's nothing, it's two thieves who walk at night, it's been solved. ”

"That's it. Norn's face was solemn, it seemed that he had been assassinated, and at such a sensitive time, things can be big or small. "Your Excellency, I wonder if I can trouble you to come with me to the palace to meet His Majesty. ”

"No need. Benny shook his head. "Go back and help me tell His Majesty Varian, I believe in him as a person, and I know something about the current situation in Stormwind, just act as if it hadn't happened. ”

"I'm going to see my family, you go back. ”

Benny nodded at Sylvanas, and the two of them made their way through the Far Wanderer toward Lordaeron's makeshift settlement. Norn opened his mouth in the back, his expression became helpless, how can he explain to His Majesty the King this time!

"Why don't you meet Varian?" asked Sylvanas as she walked.

"There's no need. Benny shook his head. "I know what you mean, using this to put pressure on Stormwind to provide more assistance, but Stormwind doesn't really have much left to help us, and it's the same if you force it. "Varian says he can take out two legions, but Benny thinks he can't take any of them, and the army is not all under his control, otherwise there wouldn't be as many 'independent troops' as in later generations.

"I just wish our sacrifices were smaller, especially you. ”

"We?"

"I've read your battle damage report, and since the beginning of the disaster, 3/5 of the Lordaerons have been killed in the undead invasion. The military power in your hands is the only military force of Lordaeron left in size. ”

"Nope. Benny said, looking at the tents that were not far away. "All the people I led are Tirisfa and the people in the east of Lordaeron, the Silver Pine Forest, and the Hills are not here and there are still some resistance forces, in order to defend against the orcs, Lordaeron has deployed a lot of forces there, they did not face the undead army at the first time, so the loss will not be great, now, they should form a resistance group. Benny thought of the Scarlet Crusaders, of the Ashbringers.

"Then why don't you contact them as soon as possible?" According to common sense, Benny should have joined the rest of Lordaeron's military forces as soon as possible, instead of letting the refugees go to Stormwind and take his army to help Quel'Thalas.

Benny didn't speak, he couldn't tell Sylvanas that there was a racist brainchild called "Gasseris". Moreover, this Gaseris is the remaining supreme military governor in the Lordaeron region, and he went by himself, and there was nothing to gain except to obediently hand over his troops and let him spoil them.

"You've always had a bunch of secrets!" Sylvanas glared at him.

"It's all minutiae, I just don't think I need to tell you. ”

"I want to know!"

"Well, you know, the 'mutiny' of Alsace started in the royal palace, and most of Lordaeron's high-level officials were there to welcome the triumphant return of Arthas, and as a result---- they were basically wiped out by Arthas, so I was able to grasp the remnants of Lordaeron's military power so quickly. The same is true of the reason why I did not go to Hillsbrad, where there was a high-ranking officer and several Silver Hand high-ranking officers, who were the last remaining military governor of Lordaeron, and ---- Gasiris was a racist. Gavinrad nodded slightly, Gasseris was indeed as Benny said, he was very hostile to people of other races outside of humans, especially the High Elves.

"Racist?" Sylvanas had never heard before, but it didn't sound like a compliment.

He believed that all races except humans were ---- untrustworthy. Benny said it a little more tactfully.

"Understood. "In short, if Benny had gone to Hillsbrad at the time, he would have been stripped of his military power, and it was obviously unlikely that Gasseris, who had no trust of other races, would have sent troops to support Quel'Thalas, and time would not have allowed it.

"As a pastor, you seem to know a lot about 'politics'?"

"Knowledge of another world. Benny pointed to his head and whispered to Sylvanas. "In my world, politics has become an art. ”

"Have time to tell me about your original world. Sylvanas was very curious, what kind of world could give birth to such a person?

"It's a boring world. Benny pouted, at least for him.

"I'm curious about the world to be born like you. ”

"In my place, people like me can fill the entire forest of eternal songs. "Isn't it hard to find silk?

Sylvanas glanced at him, and the guy started lying again.

"Well, I'll tell you about it sometime. ”

"Here we are. Lotherma reminded the two of them who were chatting.

"It's here. Benny was stunned, he was suddenly a little scared, afraid to face his parents, afraid to face the relatives of those who sacrificed soldiers.
