Next door to the Basilica of the Holy Light in the monastery there is a separate large room. This is the office of Grand Prosecutor Sally Whitemane in the convent.

In this office now, Lockan sits in a thick cotton chair behind his desk, where he lies on the quill in his hand and writes on parchment.

Locke hadn't had a moment to spare since he came here a few days ago.

The army needs to be reorganized.

How to split all the existing armies into the newly formed reserve corps to form a new combat corps without damaging the combat effectiveness as much as possible broke Locke's brain.

Originally, Locke did not have any extra reserve legions, but when cleaning up the nobles' private army, Locke was surprised to find out. The excess private army in the hands of the nobles of the Tirisfal Woodland alone could form several reserve legions.

This astonishing discovery overjoyed Locke.

For these extra people, Locke's principle was to take them back into the hands of the kingdom. However, due to his own authority from the Council of Nobles, he represented Lordaeron's national army to a certain extent. So the question arises, is this to be included in the Crusaders under his own command, or into the Restoration Army of the Kingdom of Lordaeron?

And the newly formed legion, headed by the Crusaders? Or in the name of the Restoration Army?

After all, the Crusaders were an ecclesiastical armed force loyal to the Imperial Authority, not a direct armed force of the Kingdom of Lordaeron. Strictly speaking, this army is the army that you can directly command.

This is a more complicated issue.

Compared to the Crusaders, the Lordaeron Restoration Army also has its own jurisdiction, but this army is not only capable of commanding itself. The Council of Nobles also has a lot of allocation authority! Strictly speaking, they have more authority than themselves.

At first glance, there is no need to choose at all, they must be incorporated into the Crusaders! Who thinks they have little power in their hands?

But it's not as simple as it seems. If Locke did this, then there would be only one consequence, and the entire kingdom of Lordaeron would have some bad words against him.

This will confirm his treasonous rhetoric!

Now Locke wonders from time to time if these guys from the Council of Nobles are calculating themselves.

In fact, he is trying to get rid of the whole crime.

Since the division of the Crusaders, the armies of the southern theater of operations appeared in Gadar. Various gossip began to circulate in the Tirisfal Glade, mostly negative news for Locke.

Words like traitor are commonplace. Although Anderson also arrested a few people who delivered this kind of news, they were all released in the end. Those in the Ministry of Security understand that the mouths of the people cannot be stopped.

This requires other ways to divert people's attention.

So, Fairbanks was pulled out by Anderson.

As Fairbanks had said before, he wanted Renault to be the Patricide in this kingdom forever. At the same time, he was happy to help Locke correct his name, so he spent his days roaming the prosperous towns of Lordaeron, telling everyone about Renault's father-killing in the town hall squares. At the same time, it is also like the fact that the people show the fact that the Grand Commander Dasuo Khan is a demon.

Whether the people believe it or not, this has reduced the pressure on Locke to a certain extent. After all, the unauthorized transfer of troops without an order is a stain that cannot be washed away, no matter what your purpose is.

Let's go back and talk about the army.

When Locke didn't know what to do about it, the clever Sally reminded Locke.

"Since the Council of Nobles has asked you to integrate the armed forces of the kingdom, then ask them for money, armaments, and all the things that need to form a legion! You are helping the kingdom, not just you. You want to let them know that it takes a lot of money! Without money, without armament for soldiers, without food, how could the legions of the kingdom be formed? ”

Lockmouth paused, he had put himself in the right place.

As everyone knows, he is now only a lord, but his position is the supreme commander of the kingdom's army. The logistical support is not his business, and if there are no such conditions for the formation of a legion, then this matter can be put on hold for the time being.

Of course, the nobles also vaguely reminded Locke that with the support of the Northern Silver Pine Forest, it would not be difficult to set up a legion.....

Locke sneered at this, wondering what you had done to me when I entered the Silver Pine Forest? Did you help me when I was developing the Silver Pine Forest? Well, now that it's developed there, you want to come and pick peaches?

Is that what you should think?

What the?! You say the Silver Pine Forest isn't my territory?!

Locke stopped the pen in his hand, shook his wrist, and Locke sneered.

That's what I knocked out, if it weren't for me. That land has now become a logistics base for the Forsaken!

That's now the territory I've developed! It's not for you scheming councils of nobles to touch!

Before Locke could pick up the pen again, Sally pushed open the door and walked in. In her hand, she held a cup of steaming tea, and the fragrance of calming flowers in the tea continued to waft through the room.

"These Tranquility Flowers were found from Elsa, and they are much better than those ordinary Tranquility Flowers." Sally placed the teacup next to Locke, and she sat down on the chair next to Locke with a smile, "You've been so tired lately, you need a good rest." ”

Locke opened his arms and hugged the somewhat plump Sally in his arms, and Locke couldn't help but close his eyes. Thinking back to the way he tossed Sally these two nights, Locke felt uncomfortable.

For people who haven't eaten meat for a long time, it's not enough to eat it just a few times.

Locke's hand quickly became dishonest, but before he could walk up on Sally's grand prosecutor's uniform, he was pressed down by Sally with a red face.

"Don't move, I'm looking for you to have something to tell you." Sally gently lifted Locke's hand onto the table, then she sat up and said, "You told me the day before yesterday that we were going to separate from the Crusades. ”

"And then?" Locke leaned back on the cotton chair, "Are the new flags and robes designed?" ”

"Demitiana and I, along with Commander Hudson, have roughly sketched out the drawings." Sally pulled out a plain piece of paper and handed it to Locke, "Is it the same as you imagined?" ”

Locke took the paper from Sally, and the first thing on it was the Scarlet Crusader Banner that Locke was familiar with.

In the middle of the letter L representing Lordaeron, there is a long, vertical hammer, although the difference is that this hammer is a little thicker.

There are only a few types of battle robes, and it seems that the design has not been completed.

"Haven't you finished dividing the robes?" Locke asked, looking at the distinction of the robes.

"It's a very large amount of work," Sally shook her head helplessly, "every rank, every position, every Scarlet Crusader who does a different thing, everything about them has to be shown in the battle robes. It's going to take a while. ”

Locke nodded, thinking back to the memories that had been hidden in the depths of his mind, and wanted to give Sally some hints.

It was at this point that Sally raised her own question,

"Why do we dye the colors of our uniforms and armor red?" Sally asked, somewhat incomprehensibly, "Hudson and I both don't understand, after all, red represents fanaticism, and that's exactly what we need to be absolutely calm." ”

"Red is a better way to distinguish the Crusaders of Hearthvale," Locke said as he looked at the draft in his hand without raising his head, "The striking red also tells the undead and others that each of our Scarlet Crusader soldiers has a fiery heart." For the sake of this kingdom, we will give everything for it! ”

"What about the flag?"

"As you said, after each flag is made, it will deliberately make a few holes......" Sally frowned and asked suspiciously, "Why did you do this?" I can understand it if it's red, but that..."

This time Locke looked up, he looked at Sally and sighed, "Actually, this split of our crusaders is not what I want to see. I thought I could debunk that demon, and apparently, I overestimated my energy. I thought the other Silver Hand would believe me......"

Locke shook his head, throwing the things out of his head, and he pointed to the flag and said, "Our flag is the flag of Lordaeron, but we have dyed its base color white, and the letter L for Lordaeron is dyed red. ”

"This means two things, first, we will never forget Lordaeron, and we will always be a member of Lordaeron."

"And the second meaning, the rupture of the Lordaeron flag symbolizes the rupture of our Lordaeron today." Locke put down the draft in his hand and looked at Sally who was looking at him calmly, "Our crusaders are now divided into four, and the territory to which we Lordaeron originally belonged is now also divided by the undead scourge and is not completely connected. ”

"With this flag, I want to make all the soldiers of our Scarlet Crusaders remember! Our country is still divided! Their mission is not yet complete! We still have a long way to go, and we can't afford to let up! At least until the hole in this flag is completely repaired! ”

Looking at Locke, who was a little excited, Sally didn't speak for a long time.

After a long pause, when Locke calmed down, Sally handed Locke the cup of Tranquility.

Looking at Locke, who was drinking tea, Sally gritted her teeth and asked her last question. "Are you going to declare war on the Crusaders in Hearthvale after you have integrated the power of Lordaeron?"

Locke didn't react to this, and he slowly drank the tea from the Tranquility Flower before looking up at Sally.

"The war began long ago, and it is being fought in a special way that we cannot see. When it was fully fermented in the Valley of the Hearth, not even that demon could stop it. ”

Locke looked at Sally with a smile as he explained, "The Light won't agree to me slashing my weapon at my former comrades. In the same way, the Light is inclusive and loving, and it will forgive those who have been confused. Give them a chance again for new choices. ”

"When that opportunity is over, the rest of us will be our enemies."
