Chapter 317: Selfishness
"We can't wait," Baron Tyrossos shook his head, "we desperately need the help of other human nations, and we can't do that without the King." Pen~Fun~Cabinet www.biquge.info Commander Dassault Khan is currently the best candidate, and our domestic affairs also need to be made clear by a king as soon as possible, so do you understand? β
Yes, the Grand Commander is said to have no heirs, and this is really an expedient measure ....
"What about the Council of Nobles? Won't they object? Locke asked rhetorically, these people are now the rightful administrators of the country.
"If we can take down Stratholme and regain lost ground, do we care what they think? Maybe at that time, they themselves will make this suggestion! β
Locke really had nothing to say at this point.
"Don't think too much about it," Tairossos said as he looked at the silent Locke and smiled at him. "If we can do that, I think you'll be a Grand Duke in the future. Besides, isn't it a good thing for us paladins that the Grand Commander is king? β
"Go back, I think the High Lord Mograini, they'll tell you these things." Tairossos smiled, "I just told you in advance so that you can be mentally prepared. β
After bidding farewell to Baron Tyrosus, Locke walked out of the cathedral with a blank expression. Looking at the children laughing and playing around him, and the many people praying and pilgrimage on the grass, Locke's heart was a little confused for a while.
History has changed, and never before has this been the case in the history of Lordaeron. Is it because of his own relationship that history has changed drastically?
But what is it all about? Or is it bad?
However, in the battle of Stratholm that is about to take place, the Grand Commander will be killed by the Dreadlord Banazar and will be prostrateged!! There is no practical solution to this problem, and we are facing an even greater crisis?
If Banazar learns that the man he is bending over is going to be king, he will absolutely cooperate, and maybe Stratholme will give it to the Crusaders. And then what?
To make a Dreadlord the king of the Lordaerons? In the end, all the Lordaerons became the same citizens as the citizens of the city of Tyre's Hand, which was historically controlled by Banazar? Become the same undead as the Forsaken?? Is the name still called the resurrected?
Then this continent is really hopeless.
"What to do? What needs to be done? β
Locke sighed and strode towards his temporary residence, he also needed to talk to the Grand Lord or Grand Commander.
"Sit and drink water?"
Locke shook his head, stopping the High Lord's move.
After a brief tidying up, Locke came to the Great Lord's temporary residence, and had to ask some questions clearly.
"Great Lord, is Grand Commander Dassault Khan really going to be our king?" Locke hesitated, but still asked the words he held in his chest, "But wouldn't it be true to do this?" After all, the last heir to the royal family of Minethil has not yet been able to determine whether he is still alive. β
"Tairosus told you that, right?" The Grand Lord, Mograini, sat across from Locke with his tea, and he looked up at Locke with his green eyes. "Actually, I'm going to tell you about it soon."
"Yes, he's right. The Grand Commander Dasuo Khan is going to be our king. This is the result of our discussions, and if this attack on Stratholme goes well, he will become our king. β
"But, Minethielβ" Before Locke could finish speaking, the High Lord stopped him.
"We have waited too long, and the kingdom needs someone to preside over the situation and mobilize resources from all over the world to deal with this catastrophe. But what about now? The High Lord sighed, and said with some resentment, "The members of the noble council who live in Gadar, they don't want to do this. They even want to weaken our military and try to control us! β
"We need a king who can keep all the local nobility in check, and who needs to keep the rest of the people speechless." The Great Lord took a sip of tea, then continued, "This man can only be Dassault Khan, and I know him very well. He's my superior, his commander, his best friend, and he's fought for Lordaeron all his life. From the battle with the gnolls to the battle with the orcs, and now with the undead, he always rushes to the forefront. β
"But it's still unknown whether we can defeat Stratholme, isn't it too early to say that?" Locke disagreed.
If Locke didn't know the previous history, he might have agreed, because Dassault Khan was indeed the most suitable person. But right now, that's really not a good note, and it's going to make the Dreadlord take advantage of it.
"Of course, if you can't beat Stantholm, there is no need to mention this matter, at least for now." The Great Lord put down the teacup in his hand, he rubbed his temples, "Give it a try, if it doesn't work, go to the control area, accumulate strength, and then solve the undead disaster when the time is right." β
"It's all just an alternative, and there's no need to feel guilty about it. We've shed too much blood for the Minethil family and for this country, and we're doing this to save this country. High Lord Mograini said solemnly, "If the heir to the Millhill royal family appears, the power will continue to pass to their family.
That's why you chose Dassault Khan as king? Because he has no children? There will be no problems when transferring power?
"So, go back. Bring your legion here, and once assembled, we'll head to Stratholme. β
The High Lord stepped forward and patted Locke on the shoulder, "It's a good thing, if we do take down Stratholme, our people will be freed from this darkness, and they will no longer starve and suffer the threat of death." β
"Alright, High Lord, I'll make a note of what you say."
Locke stood up and saluted the High Lord.
After leaving the Great Lord's residence, Locke felt an indescribable boredom in his heart. Locke had found out that he would be called to attend every seemingly big meeting, but it didn't work.
In fact, really secret things are not said at big meetings, they only discuss them in private and then come and tell themselves.
They have never put themselves on a level, don't look at their current status, in fact, in their hearts, they will always be a child!
In their opinion, how can a child participate in the affairs of such a country, isn't this a mockery of our Lordaeron no one?
This idea of being underestimated was infinitely magnified in Locke's heart. A wave of anger rose in his heart, and the anger even gradually changed his mind.
He even felt that he should not change the fate of these people, let them follow the historical situation, anyway, their southern theater can be self-sufficient, and they can live better without themselves!
When they die, they will come out and clean up the mess themselves, so that who can control themselves in the future?
For the first time, this thought appeared in Locke's mind.
Locke hurried to banish the negativity from his mind, but that wasn't the point.
The point is, to his horror, he found that he was very receptive to the idea!
