Today is the fifth day of the end of the trial. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The originally scheduled military meeting was forced to be postponed to this day because of Locke's file.

Locke walked alone in the monastery complex, towards the place of the meeting.

All the soldiers and clergy along the way saluted him respectfully.

To this day, Locke is still in a trance, as if the judgment of that day is still vivid.

With the sound of loud bells and the prayers of the priests, Locke once again passed by the Temple of Justice. He paused and looked at the large lock that sealed the door outside the temple.

"A place that I will remember for the rest of my life." Locke shook his head in self-deprecation.

It was only after the trial that day that Locke found out. It turned out that the Grand Lord Mograini had secretly prepared everything.

During the time they were under house arrest, they had already sent people to the town hall in Iva and took all the relevant documents and personnel with them.

The facts have long been investigated by them, and they are just trying to make a show for the priests of the Brotherhood of Light, as well as the nobles of the noble council.

Except for a few of their high-ranking and adjudicating soldiers on duty, everyone was kept in the dark.

What they didn't expect was that Locke had so many secrets. Fortunately, what he did did not violate Lordaeron's laws and bottom line, otherwise, the great lords would appreciate him and would have to endure the pain.

The only thing that is more troublesome is the enslavement of those gnolls and kobolds.

This incident did not only cause waves among the members of the Brotherhood of Light. This had a huge impact on both the Knights of the Silver Hand and the Crusaders. Because of the problems of these humanoids, everyone began to reflect on the question, what is the true meaning of the Light? Is it fraternity? Or do you love humanity alone? Is it mercy? Or is it narrow-minded? It seems that this question is going to haunt these people and is beginning to influence their perceptions.

When Locke took out the Agamandel title deed, the paladins of the Silver Hand were the happiest.

For in the matter of land, the council of nobles had already taken the laws of the kingdom and forced them several times. The crusaders had long since fallen into the kind of rebellion that did not recognize the laws of the kingdom, and if they did, they had to hand over the land that had been recaptured with great difficulty, and which had begun to be planted and defended. It's not that they are greedy for these lands, but that if they are taken away, they will affect the crusaders' ideals and beliefs to clear the undead and restore Lordaeron.

Therefore, when the deed appeared, the anxious general Abidis directly interrupted the court. First of all, the matter of the title deed was fought back in the form of law. Moreover, the forcible admission of members of the noble council affirmed the legal status of Locke's inheritance of the domain.

In this way, 80% of the land in the Tirisfara Woodlands was kept by the Crusaders. The Crusader's development plan could also be implemented gradually.

As a result of the trial, Locke was acquitted and released on the spot.

Regarding the cause and end of Locke's incident, all the evidence is placed in the archives, which is completely open to the public, and anyone who has questions or wants to know about this matter can consult the relevant materials.

Through this trial, most of the paladins and officers admired Locke's noble behavior. In particular, the paladins and priests from the Kingdom of Stormwind and the Kingdom of Stormgard, after the trial, they all invited Locke to visit the Holy Light Church in their country, and Locke agreed one by one.

Subsequently, Locke was given a small leave by the Grand Lord Mograini to compensate for his house arrest during this time. For this reason, Lockan rested peacefully for a few days. In the past few days, Sally and Bridget seemed to have a tacit understanding, and the two came to visit Locke several times, and each time they staggered the time.

The dinner party that Dalyan invited before is no longer mentioned now. As for the reason, Dalyan was embarrassed to say that his father was not happy with some of his actions, so...

Locke knew this, and the matter was gradually put down.

"This is the last place that all paladins and officers want to come over."

As Locke looked at the door in contemplation, a deep male voice came, and Locke turned his head to see Renault standing beside him looking at the closed door with a sigh on his face.

"Every time this gate is opened, it proves that a paladin or officer has broken the law." Renaud let out a deep sigh, "The result is either to be deprived of the ability to use the Holy Light, or to be exiled to the borders of the kingdom. ”

"Does High Lord Tirio Verding know? Tyran's father. It was here that he was convicted of collaborating with the enemy and exiled to the frontier. ”

"I'm afraid you're the one who has ever been able to get out safely once you've entered," Renault turned around with a bitter smile on his face, and he patted Locke on the shoulder, "Congratulations, my friend, the youngest High Lord." Perhaps immediately after this meeting, he will become one of the youngest leaders of our crusaders. ”

"Without your support, I wouldn't be able to do this." Locke smiled, looked at the majestic figure of the cathedral in the distance, and said, "Compared to me, you have a great future." Sooner or later, you will inherit everything from the Great Lord, and there is no need to rush this time. ”

"Alright, stop complimenting me. The more you say that, the more I feel like I'm inferior to you. I feel like I've been able to get to this point because of my father's shadow. Renaud sighed, "It's a bad feeling. ”

"Let's go! The meeting is about to begin. Locke patted him on the shoulder, "I'll give you a gift after the meeting." ”

"You go first, I'll wait for Dalyan." Renault struggled to make a smile, and Locke had to go to the cathedral first.

Just after Locke left, Renault's expression became a little hideous, and he kicked on the guardrail next to him. The guardrail was staircased and debris flew around.

Before the official meeting began, the Crusaders had a personnel appointment. So the officers of the crusaders rushed over and filled the conference room.

"Before the meeting begins, we need to issue a new appointment."

When all the paladins had arrived, Grand Commander Dassault Khan stood at the command table, holding a written parchment in his hand and reading it with several crusader seals.

Here it comes! Here it comes! Locke looked at the Grand Commander Dassault Khan with some excitement in his heart.

"After the study of the Grand Command, it was unanimously decided to appoint Lord Paladin Locke Harvey as a member of the Crusader Grand Command, Deputy Commander of the Crusaders, Grand Commander of the Southern Theater of the Crusaders, and a promotion to the rank of at least General. It was mainly responsible for the war and reconstruction in the southern part of the kingdom. ”

Locke got up from his chair in the conference hall and walked to the rostrum, where he took the appointment of the Grand Commander and the Grand Lord and his new robes, and saluted the Legion Commanders and Officers in the audience.

The officers in the audience let out cheers and applause.

Grand Prosecutor Ethan Lien said enthusiastically on the side, "It seems that everyone is very satisfied with this personnel appointment, now let our Harvey commander say a few words." ”

At this time, with the help of the soldiers next to him, Locke had changed into a new battle robe and holy scarf.

He walked to the front of the stage and looked at the officers below, and while his heart was excited, Locke still said a few polite words and walked to the side.

Originally, he wanted to walk down the steps, but was quickly pulled by Tyran Ferdin.

"Locke, pay attention to who you are now." Tyran cautiously said to Locke, "Your current position is to stand with us. ”

It dawned on Locke that he thanked Tyran as he looked at the other big names on the stage who had previously needed to look up.

The Grand Commander Dassault Khan was standing in front of the bulletin stand at this time, analyzing the military situation of the next step in front of the officers below. He was followed by the Grand Lord Mograini, the Grand Prosecutor Ethan Lien, the Grand General Abydis, the High Lord of the Hearth Valley, Tyran Fordin, and finally himself.

At the same time, an indescribable sense of satisfaction arose in Locke's heart.

Finally in the leadership of the Crusaders!

As a result, Locke was in a daze for a long time, constantly thinking about the bits and pieces since he joined the Crusaders, and he did not react until the officers in the audience left.

"Hey, become our commander, won't the road of beauty be gone?"

It wasn't until Bridget's teasing laughter rang in his ears that he came back to his senses and the promotion was over.

Now, the paladins present need to go to a meeting alone.

"How's it going!?" Bridget asked him with a smile.

"It's wonderful," Locke said with a smile as he turned to look at the small room the paladins had entered, and the look on his face turned awkward.

There, the Great General Abidis looked at him with a blank expression.

Since the end of the trial, General Abydis has been looking at Locke unpleasantly, and everyone knows the reason, and Locke can only smile awkwardly at this.

"Bridget, come here!" The general called out to her.

"Well, the old man is starting to feel sick again, you know." Bridget tilted her head and spread her hands, and left Locke helplessly.

After Bridget entered, the general glared at Locke fiercely, and Locke could only smile.

When Locke entered the small conference room, he found that it was the same as last time.

Baron Tyrosos and several paladins in black armor have been waiting here for a long time.

"Time is pressing, and I think we need to get this meeting over quickly and get ready." Grand Commander Dassault Khan stood at the command table in the center and said.

"Now, our goal is clear," said Grand Commander Dasuo Khan, pointing to the map in the Eastern Lordaeron region, "and we were limited by our forces before, and we could only adopt a defensive strategy against the undead in the northern provinces, and could not make an effective counteroffensive. ”

"Now, we have opened the way to the Hand of Tyr, where there are recruits from the three legions we are training."

"In the Silver Pine Forest, we also have five combat corps to use."

Grand Commander Dassault Khan looked up at all the paladins present, his gray eyebrows and beard were a little excited, "Now! The time for a counteroffensive has finally arrived! We can concentrate our forces on the undead in the northern provinces, recover the lands here, and then go north to Northrend to find Arthas and avenge our king and people! ”
