"Great Lord, I don't think he'll come, at least for the time being." Viscount Quat shook his head slightly, "He killed the messenger of the noble council I sent to Talummere in the name of being infected with the plague of the undead. ”

"I think he's ready for war, and Dasalia is just one of his dogs, a dog to test you."

"He won't be here until his dog fights your army."

"If the army he has gathered in the name of Dasalia can resist the attack of your army, the Great Lord, he will completely tear off the camouflage on his body and come to the forefront." Picking up the teacup and taking a sip of water, Quat wrapped his noble robe and continued, "Instead, he will abandon all ties with Dasalia and kill him himself in the name of treason." ”

"And, send his head here."

"We have four legions there, and how many of them are there?" Hudson disagreed, "Count on the men of less than a legion under him?" The farmer who just dropped the manure fork? Relying on the support of the old aristocracy of Alterac? Huh..."

Hudson's laughter was naturally due to the fact that he knew the real reason, because it was not a purely military meeting, and there were some things that could not be said explicitly.

Locke has sent someone to re-engage with the Syndicate leader, Aiden Pernord, who has regained confidence in the undead army that has been supported by Locke to drive out the Alterac Mountains.

And it is precisely because of the support of Aiden Pernord that Clito made such a bold act.

Locke listened to the other people's perspectives as he thought about the important meeting this Sunday. If nothing else, Lord Aiden Pernord will personally travel from the Hillsbrad Hills to the western shore of Lake Lordamere this Sunday.

Locke and he would have a meeting there.

The meeting was to restrict the activities of the Hillsbrad Hills Syndicate. In exchange, Locke will fully support the Syndicate army, led by Lord Aiden Pernord, in the undead strike in the Alterac Mountains.

As for Arathi's syndicate, it was not in Locke's consideration.

Let the Arashi go and play with the syndicate on their own!

The main reason why Locke's attitude has changed so much is because Garin Tolbain refused his help and reprimanded him for taking power from Lordaeron!

For this kind of person, Locke naturally doesn't care if he lives or dies!

"Half a month later, if Clito doesn't appear here, then it will be the time when the Duke of Abraham will be completely removed from Lordaeron!"

"General Hudson, now on to the second problem that needs to be solved." Locke nodded at Hudson, who got up knowingly and said to the people in the room. "The second one that needs to be solved is the Quel'Thalas Elves in the south of the continent, who have brought their Covenant with them."

"If you're interested, you can come to me afterwards to watch the details of this covenant." Locke raised a beautiful-looking letter in his hand, "From the bottom of my heart, this covenant is very sincere. It covers almost all aspects that are relevant to us, both military and economic. ”

The chatter rang out again, and many people clearly wanted to make their voices heard, but they controlled their tempers and did not say anything.

"Ahem. . . Ahem" Hudson coughed a few times, focusing the rest of his eyes on himself, "This covenant was earned by us, and the elves approved of us. Due to the poor environment in their southern border area, they have also let go of their former pride. ”

"They have officially asked us for help, hoping that we will come to their aid to resist the undead army in the Eternal Song Forest or the dark forests further south."

"The Operational Research Department initially believes that the newly joined Hearthvalley troops should be transferred there. This will both ease our logistical pressure and meet the demands of our allies. ”

"But we can't move too many troops over there. In the Eastern Lordaeron region, all the posts and strongholds formerly controlled by the Crusaders in Hearthvale are now under our control. And during this time, after the army of Hearthvale joined us, we have been busy downsizing..."Hudson spread his hands, "Many people are not suitable for the army, or they are no longer willing to serve in the army of Hearthdale. ”

"According to preliminary statistics, there are now a total of eight combat legions in the Valley of the Hearth, two legions of men are scattered in the vast East Lordaeron strongholds and watchtowers, one legion is stationed in the ruins of Stratholme, and the remaining five legions are tasked with patrolling and changing guards in the East Lordaeron region, and they also have to guard the Scourge undead stronghold in Andorhar."

"So we can only draw three legions from the Valley of the Hearth and go to the Elven Kingdom."

Locke nodded, this information was actually known to him some time ago, and this approach was undoubtedly very correct.

After Tyran returned to Hearthvale, he immediately handed Locke the roster of officers of the Crusaders in Hearthvale and the seal that symbolized the command of the army.

Locke couldn't believe his eyes when he first saw the number of the Hearthvale army! How many troops does he have under his command?! He didn't expect Renault to explode so many soldiers! It's no wonder that Tyran, as the Grand Lord of Hearthvale, can't bear it...

Tyran fulfilled his promise to Locke and began organizing the migration of surplus civilians to the inner part of the Undead Fortress. Correspondingly, Locke also began to work on the next strategic arrangement.

Counting and eliminating redundant personnel in the army is the first thing to do.

During the Reynolds period, many legions were formed in the Valley of the Hearth, which were actually done to resist Locke. But now that the two sides have become an army, there is no need for this.

A large number of civilians who wanted to eat in the army were dismissed from the army, and many tried and tested non-commissioned officers took the opportunity to leave the army. They would rather go to the southwestern part of the Tirisfal Glade, in the vast wilderness to reclaim the wasteland.

Of course, this is also a situation that Locke is happy to see, in fact, those non-commissioned officers who have left the army will soon have a new use.

"IMHO, High Lord. I think—" Quart subconsciously got up and wanted to say something, but he immediately turned his head from side to side and saw that there was no one around to speak, so the cunning fellow sat back in his chair and said, "I don't have anything to say, Great Lord." ”

"When is the army going to the Elven Kingdom ready to leave?" With a hidden smile crooked at the corners of his mouth, Locke thought for a moment and asked, "Who will lead the way?" By land or by sea? ”

"The commander of the Second Legion, Thomas Thomson, will be the supreme commander of the three legions. They will march along the King's Road towards Karamen on the frontier of Eastern Lordaeron, where the Elven Kingdom has sent their men to meet our army on that side of the Dark Forest. The commander of the Second Regiment was succeeded by Deputy Commander Laura Cameron. ”

Locke nodded, at this stage, it is much faster to take the land route than the sea route, and he can directly enter the battlefield in the dark forest. And this route is actually what the elves want them to take.

Laura Cameron, Locke also knows the former female major. She was one of her colleagues in the Second Legion. He is one of the most important subordinates of the High Lord Mograini.

"Good." Locke leaned back in his chair, his hands folded, and he turned his head to look at Berg, who was sitting next to him. "What about you? I know you have a lot to say. ”

"Yes, High Lord, I have a lot to say." Berg stood up with a bitter face, and he said helplessly to everyone, "It is a huge undertaking to arrange the relocation of the surplus civilians around Hearthva, the Monastery and Gadar, and the Iva Valley!" ”

Berg spread his hands and said in an extremely resentful tone, "According to your request, the Great Lord, it is not just that they are still within the boundaries of the town that have been demarcated. Among them, I need to ensure the safety of their migration, I need to lead them to build their homes in new towns, I also need to divide land for them, ensure their safety in towns, and supply them with food before the first crop of local grain is ripe..."

"O Holy Light! Great Lord! Divide me in half! Berg's spit made everyone laugh.

"Ha," Locke couldn't help but laugh as well, his future Secretary of State with a depressed expression. In order not to discourage him, Locke had to say, "Don't worry, this meeting will solve your problems one by one." ”

In fact, Locke is also thinking about the possibility of setting up a cabinet when he becomes king. That's why, at this meeting, Locke's office covered almost all the heads of departments.

Of course, this is all for the future.

"After the initial experiments in the first few months, the clerk model has been affirmed to a certain extent. These retired non-commissioned officers from the non-commissioned officer class of the army, they are doing well in every town in the position of affairs officer. Of course," said Locke, rubbing his nose, "only to do things." ”

Hearing this, a natural smile appeared on Viscount Quart's face. In this era, the grassroots level that is separated from the management of the aristocracy will come to a standstill.

"Viscount Quart..."

"Obey your commands, the Great Lord." Quart quickly stood up, unusually humble.

"How was the preliminary assessment of the administrative officer?"

After thinking about it again and again, Locke decided to leave it to Quett when it came to the selection of the administrative officer. No matter what he had done to himself, but after seeing the future path clearly, the speaker of the noble council went straight to himself.

For his refuge, Locke felt dispensable at first. But as time passed, Locke did not become like him before, and he was no longer very hostile to the aristocracy.

After all, there must be a reason for the aristocracy to become administrators in this era.

Knowledge is the greatest weapon in the hands of the aristocracy!

The fact that the commissioner could not manage the town in their place was a clear example. The reuse of Quett is a signal released by Locke, and Locke wants to use this example to draw in the noble group that is outside his own system.

As mentioned before, Locke wanted to change the pattern of the aristocracy in the kingdom. Now it is necessary to push out the administrative officers and hand them over to make them feel that they have made a profit.

In Locke's ultimate ideal, he wants to subtly change the ruling model of this kingdom, and even the ruling mode of all the kingdoms in this world. From the introduction of the magistrates to the nobles into all levels of government, strictly control their fiefdoms. to the establishment of a cabinet in the future and the establishment of a grading system at all levels. Vigorously develop goblin and dwarf technology, so that a large number of laborers can be liberated from farming and enter the factories of the industrial revolution to produce all kinds of products! Drag Lordaeron into the post-steam era entirely!

In the future, use the power of technology that can be popularized to deal with the enemies of the future... It's going to take a long time. It could be decades, it could take hundreds of years.

Luckily, Azeroth has the technology to do so that it doesn't need to start from scratch.

Of course, this also requires constant guidance.
