188 Causes of Breakdown of Negotiations
"He didn't offend me, not at all!" Bolval sneered mockinglyβ
Bolval's attitude made Sally's heart sink and reads.
She made a wrong move on her first move. I wanted to get acquainted with Bolvar first through my old friendship. But she didn't expect that after so many years, Bolval's resentment towards him had increased, albeit not. No wonder he told her at the time not to go to Bolval until absolutely necessary. It turned out that he had known for a long time that Bolval would have such an attitude.
Sally made a quick decision and directly changed the topic to the point.
"Okay, then let's not talk about him. I'm here to work with you. β
"Work with me? Why? Bolval was a little surprised.
Sally bit her lip. "The Scarlet Crusaders are now deeply divided within themselves, and they are too busy to take care of themselves. So I hope to have your support. β
Bolval listened to Sally's purpose and looked at her carefully. The last time I saw her, she was still a little shadow who always hid behind him delicately, and now she has grown into a full-fledged politician? At this moment, neither he nor she were the students of the convent of the past. They all have heavier burdens on them. This realization made his heart even more unhappy.
"Then you might as well talk about it
However, no matter how much he hated Sally emotionally, Bolval, who was intellectually an envoy of Stormwind, had to listen to what Sally was proposing at the moment.
Val was already a little interested in the cooperation she had proposed. Sally immediately poured out the words she had thought of beforehand.
"The Scarlet Crusaders are now divided into three lines, D'Asohan and Abydis, stationed in the Hearthvale of Stratholme and Tyre, respectively. But we have a lot of differences. Da Sohan insisted on clearing Stratholme and marched on Naxxramas. Abidis has already freed up his hands to reorganize the affairs of the navy, and plans to go north to Northrend to fight the Lich King to the death on a certain day. β
"What about you?" Boval asked lightly.
"I just want to do ...... Things to do to eliminate the undead scourge in this land. However, I now have the smallest strength in my troops. Previously, he was restrained by the Forsaken in the Tirisfara Glade, and his equipment and supplies couldn't keep up. Now, although Lord Fording has temporarily lent me the Valley of the Hearth for security, he is too busy to take care of the equipment, and it is impossible for him to give me a little more help. So Berval, I would like to ask you, to equip and supply me. β
"Why?" Berval asked rhetorically. "What's in it for me?"
Sally bit her lip. "Our goal is to eradicate the natural disasters in this land, isn't it? But now the Silver Dawn has taken in the Forsaken. I won't be able to convince my officers and soldiers to continue working with Silver Dawn. But. Supply! Equip! We are not afraid of death, but I can't let my soldiers fight the scourge with their bare hands. Bolwal, you provide me with the equipment. In exchange, I'll lead my men to be the vanguard of humanity - of course, on the surface, we're still two forces. But in private, this is my tacit agreement with you. My soldiers have always been fearless in the face of natural disasters. In this way, your troops will reduce their losses, will they? β
Sally's words clearly moved Bolval's heart.
Everybody knows. The Scarlet Crusaders are an army whose life's mission is to destroy the undead. The undead are plagued, even if they don't have to command, they will rush to fight desperately. If you use them as a blade, it is indeed as Sally said. It can definitely reduce the attrition of the human army, and such an interest cannot but make Boval tempted.
But...... The problem is that the current human alliance is not something that Bolval can say alone. A large part of the equipment and supplies of the human alliance were collected by the Church of Light. So. If it is a military operational decision, Bowal can naturally say what he wants. But when it comes to the massive flow of logistical materials. But I still have to discuss it with Father Inigo. That's why the Church of Light sent a spokesperson to the Plaguelands to oversee the flow of supplies.
"Sally, I'm very impressed by your proposal." Bolval said truthfully. "I provide supplies, you provide troops. But the amount of equipment to arm your troops is not a small amount. Now these materials are in the hands of the Church of Light. I'll have to go back and talk to Father Inigo, who is in charge of supplies, before I can give you an answer. β
"Okay, I'll wait for your reply."
Listening to Bowval's answer, Sally breathed a sigh of relief. She also knew a little bit about Bowall. If Bolval is not satisfied, he will decisively refuse at this time. Now that he says that, it basically means that he has agreed. As for the representative of the Holy Light Church that Berval said, Sally didn't take it to heart - with such good conditions, Sally couldn't think of any reason why they would refuse? Therefore, Sally felt that as long as she passed the level of Bolval, she was basically done.
However, things turned out to be the opposite of what Sally thought.
"I refuse!" Father Inigo said to Boval with a straight face. "Duke Berval, have you been deceived by something? If the Scarlet Crusaders really want to fight the Scourge Legion, they should join Silver Dawn and join the coalition to help together. If that's the case, I'll be willing to provide as many weapons as they want. But now that they are asking us for equipment and weapons without any evidence, IMHO, who knows if their lunatics will turn their guns on us when they get them? β
"But, Father Inigo, what you say is only one possibility. But if I do this, it will reduce the casualties of our soldiers. Bolval argued.
"The soldiers here are ready to die for the destruction of the Lich King, Duke." In response to Bolval's argument, Inigo took a disdainful gesture and said: "And, think about it, who is it that proposed such a deal with you? β
"Sally the Scarlet Grand Prosecutor. Whiteman. Boval whispered.
"Oh~!" Inigora lengthened her voice, her tone full of needle-sharp sarcasm. "The woman...... The Duke won't forget it. What she did was a shame even for the Church of Light. And now you want to join forces with such a woman. If it is transmitted back to Stormwind, what will people think? β
Bolval was furrowed by the sarcasm in his words. "What do you think? In order to reduce the casualties of the soldiers, I have a clear conscience! β
"Really?" Father Inigo smiled kindly, "Of course you have a clear conscience, and you have not done such ugly things as her. But I'm worried...... Is the name of our merciful and beautiful Empress Tiffin going to be taken out and chewed on by those ignorant foolish women again? β
It's like a basin of cold water poured over your head, and it's like a needle popping a balloon. Bowall's mouth opened for a moment, and he was speechless. He knew what Father Inigo was referring to, and he knew that if this matter did spread back to Stormwind, it would definitely turn out as Father Inigo said, with the help of someone with a heart. He could not care about the rumors, but he couldn't care less about her reputation. Even though...... She couldn't hear anything anymore.
"I see." "Thank you for the reminder, Father Inigo. I know how to do it. β
Val relented, and Father Inigo smiled compassionately. "The Light will guide you to the right choice, Duke."
Bolvar nodded, turned and walked out the door, telling Sally the results of the results.
"Bump!" Listening to Bolval's reply, the cup in Sally's hand slipped off her hand.
"Why? Boval! Why! Sally asked incredulously. Yesterday was so light, why did you completely reject her today? What the hell went wrong.
There was not a single general who did not want to minimize the casualties of his own soldiers, and now that such an opportunity was in front of him, he had to refuse. This made Berval, who cherished the soldiers under his command, unusually unhappy. And it's all because ...... Thinking of this, he was even more furious.
"Why?" Berval raised his voice. "Sally, don't you understand why? Why did the Church of Light refuse? Don't you know in your heart?! β
A flash of lightning swept through Sari's heart, illuminating everything clearly. "It's because I...... Guys? β
Bolval sneered, "Finally, you know it in your own heart. β
"Renault and I are just in love, what did we do wrong?!" Sally burst out. She exclaimed angrily, "Why does everyone have to let us go like this? Uncle Mograini! Darian! And you! Why don't you understand us! β
Bolval laughed angrily. "Understand? What Renault did was a disgrace to all the knights! From my personal standpoint, it is not difficult for me to understand the rejection of you by the Church of Light. β
"Renault and I are just ordinary people. What's wrong with falling in love with each other and deciding to be together? Anyway, her face had already been torn, and Sally couldn't control her emotions and became hysterical.
Bolval roared, "That's right?! You are wrong, you should not be, Renault should not be your guardian knight! In doing so, he violated the three most important rules of knighthood. β
This sentence was like a slap in the face, and it took away all of Sally's strength. She slumped back in her chair and began to weep with a whimper. "I know, I know...... Renault also knows. But what can be done? We're just in love, what should we do? We didn't hurt anyone......"
"Didn't hurt anyone?" Bolval sneered, "Do you know how many knights have been humiliated by Renault's actions? And how many ladies have been charged with dishonour because of you? (To be continued)
