"Then please, Mayor Barassas. The food and supplies needed for the stationing of my army here will gradually be brought in from Andorhar, as for fresh vegetables and meat...... If the town could provide it, I would buy it at a fraction of the market price. ”

Arthas said to Barassus with a smile.

"It must be on me, His Royal Highness Prince Alsace, but how can I make you pay a high price......"

Mayor Barassus nodded, taking in everything Arthas had said to himself, and excused himself.

As to the question of this expenditure, Alsace intended to leave it all to the clerk of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Alfonso Dirdara, and did not want to discuss it too much with the mayor of Barathus.

Soon, Arthas's gaze circled the disc-stricken Mayor of Barathus to Baron Rivendell.

Unlike Mayor Barassus, Alsace still has some impressions of this Baron Rivendell.

He was supposed to be a nobleman in Kel'thugad's social circle, and in the original stream of time, Arthas, who was in charge of the army of the undead, swept through Lordaeron's homeland, while Baron Rivendell chose to join the Scourge Legion.

Baron Rivendell, who became a knight, took Alessandros Mograini's place after he was purified by his son Darien Mograine, becoming one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse under Kel'thugad, eventually dying there when Naxxramas was captured by the Silver Crusade.

However, the current Baron of Rivendell did not see any evil in his eyes, and noticing Arthas's gaze, the Baron, who seemed to be very particular about his own way of life, saluted Arthas with standard movements.

"Your Royal Highness, Prince of Arthas, welcome to Stratholme. Neither I nor Barassus will ask much about your army, and you have no need to be suspicious of us, for you can consider yourself the true masters of this land, and the House of Rivendell will always be His Majesty King Terenus and your faithful servants. ”

It was also a sign of loyalty, but Baron Rivendell's words and appearance were much superior to Barathaus.

"I see, when I get back to Lordaeron, I'll want my father to relay your words. ”

Arthas nodded politely and said to Baron Rivendell.

"Has only the Knights of the Silver Hand arrived?"

After all, military intelligence is more important, and after a brief greeting, Arthas and Uther discuss it again.

"Yes, I think the army of Stormwind will have to wait a month, and the army of Fort Riptide will take a few weeks to arrive. ”

Uther replied.

"Then let's wait here now......"

Arthas looked back at the Lordaeron Royal Guards' camp, where tents had been erected, and teams of Lordaeron Royal Guards were sticking wooden fences with sharp horns around the camp.

Even on their own territory, these highly educated soldiers will not let their guard down.

"Do we need to move the camp here?"

Uther asked Alsace that although he was Arthas's teacher, he was the only one who had been appointed commander at the military council before the expedition.

"It doesn't matter...... Decide for yourself, Mr. Uther, and then I think we'd better go and relax...... Mograine, do you want to go to Stratholme?"

Arthas looked at Uther and Mograine and extended an invitation - although the war was imminent, there was still a month to go!

While in Lordaeron, Mograine also participated in the military meeting before the expedition, but due to time constraints, he and Uther returned to the valley of Alterac as soon as the meeting was over, and Arthas did not have time to say a few words to him.

"I don't have any problems...... Uther, you ......"

Mograine looked at Uther, who was standing aside.

"I'll forget it, I'll have to deal with what Alsace just mentioned. ”

Uther shook his head, then said goodbye to Arthas and the others, and left alone.

"Teacher Uther...... Has it always been like this?"

Arthas sighed, then asked Mograini.

"Yes, that's right. But it is better to say that it is precisely because of this that everyone obeys him. ”

Mograini smiled and said.

"Huh?"

Winresa couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice, she had been listening attentively to the conversation between Arthas and Mograini, but when she heard this, she didn't understand it at all.

That "Ser Uther" always had a straight face and a very intimidating look, why did he have such a high reputation among the Knights of the Silver Hand?

Arthas understood why, as he had been aware of this in the original time stream.

The current Order of the Silver Hand is obviously more complex than the original time stream, with paladins from the Royal Guard of Lordaeron and paladins from Stormwind and beyond.

A native of Stormwind, Uther traveled north to Lordaeron with his teacher, Archbishop Alonthos Fao, after the outbreak of the Orc War, and became a member of the Alliance's decision-making team on behalf of the Church.

Despite being appointed head of the Order of the Silver Hand and being the teacher of Arthas, Uther was not a native of Lordaeron after all.

Instead of putting down the shelves and going to mingle with those Lordaeron royal guards, it is better to act like this, and look like a businessman, which can convince the Lordaeron paladins led by Mograine.

"His Royal Highness Prince Alsace, if you are going to visit Stratholme, I recommend ......"

As soon as he heard that the prince of Arthas was going to play in the town he governed, the mayor of Barathas was even more excited, and he hurriedly said earnestly.

"Then you don't have to, Mayor Barathus. You and Baron Rivendell go back first, we have some things to talk about privately. ”

Arthas, however, did not give the mayor any chance to pat himself on the back, politely declining Mayor Barathus's invitation and issuing an "eviction order" to him and Baron Rivendell.

The smile on Mayor Barassas' face froze, but Baron Rivendell gloated.

Hillbilly, no knowledge...... Is His Royal Highness the Prince such a good person?

- Baron Rivendell pursed his lips, laughed inwardly at the "fellow", and then turned away after a standard aristocratic salute to Arthas.

Mayor Barassas' face was full of embarrassment, but he didn't dare to disobey Arthas's orders, and after a flurry of goodbye, the old man stumbled away.

Looking at the two black dots that were gradually moving towards the town of Stratholme, Winlessa finally couldn't help but ask the question in her mind.

"Arthas, what's going on? Is the old uncle named Barassus the mayor here, but why is there a baron here as lord?"

Wenlesa asked curiously, looking at Arthas.

"That's ......"

Arthas smiled and explained to Winlessa.

Lordaeron practiced a feudal system, and over the past thousand years, Lordaeron has continued to expand its territory, and finally became the most extensive human kingdom after the Alathor Empire.

In the process, countless small nobles, small kingdoms were conquered by the Minethil family and became vassals of Lordaeron, and in order to better govern the country and reward the courtiers who had made outstanding contributions to the expansion process, the ancestors of Arthas divided the vast territory into small parts and divided them among the nobles of the kingdom.

For example, in the Valley of the Hearth, the ancestors of Tirio Fording once owned this land, and after the submission to Lordaeron, they were still the masters of the land, and in addition to having their own army, the Fortin family had many characteristics that were protected by Lordaeron's decrees
