"You have a father who loves you. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info" Locke shrugged, "That's why, you're happier than we are." ”

"Of course." Bridget happily opened the envelope and looked at the letter.

"It's time for us to go back." Locke put his head in his hands and sat down in his chair, "You go back with me." Like you said, your father wants to see if you're missing a hair. ”

"Something about your status? Opened the way to the Hand of Tyr? Bridgitno muttered to himself thoughtfully, "Is it because of the expansion of the army?" Or is there a more detailed division of responsibilities this time? ”

"You'll find out when you go back." Locke got up from his chair, "You go back and get ready, I'll go find Shiloh." Prepare some logistical supplies to take home. ”

"Okay, I'll go get ready." Bridget folded the envelope and put it in her pocket. "When are you going to leave?"

"In a week." Locke estimated for a moment and said, "We are going to go back in style this time, and send back some of our food and reserves of military supplies and coins, and it is time for us to give back to the headquarters." ”

The night in the Silver Pine Forest had completely fallen, and the town of Iva was shrouded in lights. In order to deter and combat crime, mechanical lights have been installed in every corner of the town of Iva Town, which has also effectively reduced the crime rate.

Locke went straight to the general management office and knocked on the door of Shiloh's office.

"Please come in."

Locke pushed the door open and walked in, and a large candle in the room was square on the desk, and Shiloh was lying on it writing something.

"Good thing you're not gone yet. Otherwise, I'm going to look for you over there. Locke said lightly.

Previously, the priests had opinions about some of Locke's initiatives. After Locke enslaved the gnolls and kobolds, this discontent grew even more. They believed that the Crusaders were a noble organization and that the dirt should not be accommodated, and that they should be removed from the Crusaders.

It is believed that Locke's actions violated the will of the Light.

If it weren't for the fact that these jackals and kobolds were really powerful, they would have gathered around the town hall to settle accounts with Locke. Therefore, every time Locke rushed to the area where the priest lived, there would always be war priests who came to him to reason. Over time, he hid from that place.

"Oh?!" Shiloh put down the pen in his hand and turned to pour Locke a cup of tea.

"Why don't you have a mechanical lamp made of goblins here? They are brighter than these candles and better for the eyes. Don't you feel tired to your eyes under this kind of light? Locke asked casually as he sat in his chair.

"No, those mechanical creations are too loud. And, you know, I've never believed in what goblins make. ”

"Alright, let's talk." Shiloh asked with a smile, "You must have something to do with me, especially now that it's dark, you still come to me, is there something urgent?" ”

Locke nodded, "There is an urgent matter, our crusader headquarters sent a letter asking me to rush back to the meeting within this month. ”

"Oh?!" Shiloh looked at Locke with some hesitation, "What about your decision?" ”

"My decision? My decision was, as a detachment of the Crusaders, the Fifth Legion, why didn't I participate? Locke said with a meaningful expression.

"Also, not attending this conference is not a big benefit for me." Locke looked at her and continued, "And if I don't take the order, then it means that our Crusaders in the Silver Pine Forest will completely separate from this collective. This will divide us Lordaeron once again, which is not strong enough. What's more, I won't let go of the people and things over there. ”

"So, Shiloh." Locke looked at her solemnly, "Put away those extra thoughts, I know you are putting your chips on me, and I thank you for your continued support of me." I'm sorry, I don't have any other thoughts for the time being, if the future is possible, I sit in a high position, and I will repay your family and people. ”

"Now, just help me. The future will be known when the time comes. ”

Shiloh smiled unnaturally.

was suddenly stabbed by Locke through all this, and Shiloh was also a little embarrassed.

"Okay, don't overthink it." Locke continued, "How many gold coins have we minted now, and how much armor have we stored? ”

"Well, I'll check it out." Shiloh hurriedly found it on the table, in a stack full of papers.

"Found it!" She opened the file and flipped through it.

"We now have a total of 14,000 gold coins and new gold coins, and as for the other silver and copper coins, I won't go into detail one by one, too many are meaningless."

Shiloh flipped through another piece of paper and read, "Thanks to improved production procedures, we now have 2,343 full sets of armor, 3,032 half-body heraldic shields, more than 2,131 one-handed swords, and hundreds of other armaments. ”

"There are also tens of thousands of military uniforms."

Shiloh looked up at him, "That's all for now. ”

"Do we have more wagons?" Locke touched his chin and asked, "Can you pull all these things away?" ”

"Deliver all of this to the monastery? We can't rely on our logistics alone, we need to rent a trade caravan of goblins. Shiloh shook his head, "You'll need to guard against the free undead of Lordaeron along the way, Legion Commander don't forget that." ”

"I know all of this." Locke nodded, "So, let's go load the car now." Load all the stockpiles and armaments, and leave only 1,000 gold coins for daily operation, and take the rest with you! ”

"Contact the goblin Zax and have their convoy help us transport. Oh, and there's. Bring as much food as you can. Locke smiled wryly, "Our grain needs to be digested as soon as possible, otherwise it will only be made into wine." ”

"Okay Captain, I've made a note of it." Shiloh nodded.

As soon as the morning dawned these days, Locke opened his eyes and began to get busy.

He summoned several regimental commanders back from their respective defense areas, gave instructions for their schedules, and appointed Major Hudson as the supreme commander to keep Eva running while he was away.

On this trip to the monastery, Locke was ready to take with him 1,000 cavalry, as well as 1,000 experienced veterans who served as escorts. At the same time, send scouts to inform the monastery and ask them to send troops to pick up the material at the entrance to the Haru Gorge. Now, the Forsaken are rearming, and who knows if they will take a knife at him, Locke needs to be prepared.

When all this was arranged, Locke summoned Noris.

"You may be seated."

As soon as Norris entered the town hall, Locke went over and poured her tea and offered her courtesy.

"Speak up if you have something to say!" Norris didn't give Locke any face, "I'm still busy, and the security department is still in intense preparations." I have a lot of things to do, and I don't have time to talk to you here. ”

"It's a big deal." Locke smiled wryly and put down the teacup and placed it in front of her.

"As I believe you know, I'm going back to the monastery tomorrow. Before I leave, I have something to give you. Locke looked at the beautiful elf girl in front of him, and his mind couldn't help but soften, he said. Why don't you go back with me? I'll leave it to someone else to look at here. ”

"If there's something to say, I'll leave if it's okay. I'm still busy! Norris said impatiently. It doesn't matter to you whether I go back or not, now. We're just in a subordinate relationship now, and I hope you'll be respectful of me. ”

"Okay." Locke said helplessly, "I hope you can help me see the situation here after I leave." We've put a lot of effort into it, and I don't want everything to change when I'm gone. ”

"In my absence, the town will develop according to this development plan." Locke handed Norris a document, "If the development of the town deviates from this development, you need to find out why." You can make your own decisions when necessary. ”

"Of course, the worst-case scenario is the worst. If not, that's best. ”

Norris looked at Locke, who was looking at her expectantly, and she didn't speak, but casually flipped through the plan, and then turned to leave.

"I'm sorry, I was really to blame for that."

Locke's deep voice reached Noris's ears.

Norris paused, then quickened her pace and walked out.

"What an abominable fellow! How long are you going to protect her?! Do you really think I'm blind? Walking out of the gates of the town hall and walking through the streets of Iva, Norris couldn't help but curse to herself.

"Do you really think I don't know the reason for all this? You know my relationship with her! Still messing with her! Don't you know that she deliberately made me so angry?!!! ”

"Humph! If it weren't for the fact that we built it up little by little in Iva, I would have left everything here behind and returned to Quel'Thalas! ”

The more Nullis thought about it, the more angry she became, and she couldn't help but vent loudly as she walked.

The people around looked at this emotional elf with puzzled expressions.

Suddenly, someone shouted.

"There's an elf here!!"

"Huh? Is it? Where is it? ”

"Cool! It's beautiful! ”

Afterwards, more people gathered around to take a look at the elf's face.

"Look what! Haven't you seen a High Elf?!! Norris shouted angrily with a shy face, and then in front of everyone, the inexplicable power in her body exploded, and the whole person disappeared in the eyes of the citizens.

The scene on the street gradually dissipates with the departure of the protagonist elf.

One of them, however, stopped, looked thoughtfully in the direction the elf had gone, and then followed.

As night falls, in the streets of Iva. Horse-drawn wagons laden with goods appeared in the streets, each bearing the blue flag of the Crusaders, which lined the town along the roads and attracted the attention of the citizens.
