"Have you finally waited for this time?" General Abidis said with some excitement, "I can't wait to send all the raging undead on Eastern Lordaeron to where they need to go!" ”

"This is really good news. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Info" Briggette slipped up to Locke again and whispered to him. "We must bring the culprit, Arthas, to justice!"

Locke leaned against the wall, his hands on his chest, and watched the reactions of all the paladins present without making a sound.

"This is exciting news," said Lord Tyran and Grand Procurator Ethanlyon, who stood not far away, exchanging their views on the matter.

Words are all about agreeing with this matter.

Of all the paladins present, only the Grand Lord Mograini and Baron Tairossos remained calm, and they were looking at the large map on the command table, thinking.

"No, we can't do that yet, the time is not ripe." Mograini, the big lord with his hands on his shoulders, disagreed. He walked over to the command table and pointed to the Tirisfal glades on the map.

All the paladins present looked at him, and the High Lord pointed to the ruins of Lordaeron, then to the mill town of the Agamandel family, and finally to the Silverpine Forest.

He looked up at everyone, "I disagree with the Grand Commander, I don't think we need to go to East Lordan now. ”

"According to scouts, the undead of our abandoned royal capital, who claim to be the Forsaken, are stepping up their plundering of the surrounding resources. They infiltrated and attacked our patrol squads, raiding our mining and lumberyards in the royal capital area to steal resources. All this indicates that those undead are preparing for a large-scale war, and who is the target? ”

"Most of the land in the entire Tirisfara Glade is the private property of Lord Locke. Because of his nobility, he provided it to our crusaders free of charge. We should seize the present opportunity and turn the Tirisfara Glades into our real rear to supply us with a steady stream of resources and troops. ”

"We need to rid the Tirisfal of the Scourge of the undead first. In the mill town of the Agamande family, there is also a large number of natural disasters and undead, which are all factors of instability. In the western part of the Tirisfal Glade, it is sparsely populated, but it can accommodate a large population. ”

The Great Lord propped his hands on the table and looked at everyone present.

"After clearing the free undead of Lordaeron and the scourge of the Tirisfal glades, we will have a large rear that is completely safe! We can be completely connected to the southern theater of the Silver Pine Forest. In this way, we can go south to completely reclaim the Silverpine Forest, and we can also make contact with the Hillsbrad Hills and get their support. ”

"This is the most important thing at hand," High Lord Mograini looked at everyone present solemnly, "We need a safe rear more than to march into Eastern Lordaeron. ”

After the Great Lord finished speaking, he looked down at the map and said nothing.

"Are we really going to let Arthas go?" One paladin disagreed with the High Lord, "If we do, how long will it take us to find Arthas to avenge the king?" Revenge for the people? ”

"Now, we desperately need some victories to stimulate our country and our people. There's no better way to do that than with Alsace! ”

His words were echoed by some radical paladins.

"Do not be blinded by hatred," Baron Tairossos reminded the paladins, "and it is our greatest goal to drive out all enemies in our kingdom's territory. ”

"As for Arthas, we can wait until later to seek revenge on him. He couldn't run away from Northrend anyway. ”

Baron Tairossos's proposal was affirmed by the Grand Lord, but it was not accepted by the Grand General Abydis.

They voiced more dissenting opinions.

Immediately afterwards, the Grand Commander Dasuo Khan also rejected the proposal of the Grand Lord Mograini.

"The free undead in the royal capital of Lordaeron are now surrounded by us. If they dare to come out in large forces, they will be greeted by our attacks from all sides. And if we take the initiative to attack, with the tall walls of Lordaeron, we will suffer heavy casualties, and the gains will outweigh the losses. Although they are also a big problem. ”

"If we are to clear the Scourge of the Grim in the Timberlands, we don't need all of our Crusaders to be here. The army of the Silver Pine Forest, plus the 2nd and 4th Corps was enough. "The Great General Abydis was not very much in favor either," and, compared to the others. Wouldn't it be better to have more resources in East Lordaeron, so it would be better to lay down there? Isn't there our biggest city, our biggest granary, better than the Tirisfal Glades? ”

In this meeting room, the two factions of paladins engaged in a violent quarrel.

Locke felt it was time for him to speak.

In this hall, the radical paladins clearly stood in the majority, and they suppressed the rationalists, and even the great commander of the centrists, Dassault Khan, was now on the aggressive side.

"I always thought that our war against natural disasters would not end in a year or two." Locke slowly walked over to the command table.

All the paladin's eyes fell on him, and they also wanted to see what one of the new leaders had to say.

"Most of our enemies are some sentient and unconscious puppets. Before the catastrophe, millions of humans lived in the plague-ravaged land. They're basically all brainless undead now," Locke glanced at the Great Lord, who nodded at him.

"This is an indisputable fact, which means that our enemies now have millions in number. And what about us? Locke spread his hands and looked at them, "We can only settle for a while, relying on limited resources to fight enemies dozens of times more numerous than us!" This is the fact that we are facing now, although it is cruel! ”

"I also agree with the Grand Commander that we should concentrate our forces to clear the undead. Arthas has destroyed our country with his own hands, and we should seek revenge from him. I also agree with the suggestions of these brothers. Locke smiled at the paladin, "I really need victory after victory to blow away the gloom in the hearts of our country and people." ”

"We have the option of weeding out the undead from outside the city. In this way, we will live in a much better environment, and then concentrate our forces on dealing with the undead in the cities of our land. And you can start with the Tirisfal Glade, after all, this is our big rear, and we need the resources here. ”

"We need to be clear that this is a constant battle, and it will be as long as a decade. For this reason, it is impossible and unrealistic for us Lordaerons to fight alone, and we need to let go of our hands and feet. I agree with Baron Tyrosos' suggestion that we should join us those who sympathize with us and who are willing to help us. ”

"With a solid rear and plenty of troops, can't we still take out the Scourge Legion? Sooner or later, we'll rush to Northrend to get rid of Alsace! ”

"Finally, I would like to say," Locke said, looking at those present who were about to refute him, "we are paladins, armed with the Light, which gives us strength, gives us the courage and faith to fight evil. We can fight evil to the end under the protection of the Light. However, our soldiers are flesh and blood, and they also believe in the Light, but they do not have the power that the Light provides. They will be tired, scared, cowardly, injured, etc., and these negative emotions will affect their fighting spirit. Is this possible if we rely on hundreds of paladins to fight millions of undead? ”

"We have to rely on the strength of the soldiers, so we need to be more cautious about all the problems."

"We are now the last remaining paladins in the kingdom of Lordaeron, and the most powerful military organization." Locke said heavily, reminding them to pay attention.

"If we fail, then Lordaeron will never have a chance to return to his country. Other human kingdoms may take the opportunity to swallow up the lands of our kingdom, and I hope you will think about it carefully. ”

Everyone was attracted by Locke's last few words and began to think.

In the corner of the hall, Renault looked at Locke expressionlessly, with a hint of complexity in his eyes.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the High Lord Mograine once again expressed his opinion, "I agree with Locke's suggestion, let's eliminate the undead in the Tirisfal Glade first, and then let go of the free undead in the city first. ”

The radicals, led by the great general Abydis, were not very satisfied with this proposal, but it was also the most suitable method for the crusaders at the moment.

However, the proposal to recruit from other races was still rejected.

Therefore, in this meeting, the crusaders decided on the strategy for the next period of time.

It was decided that the 2nd, 4th, and 5th Legions, as well as the newly formed Sixth Legion of the Silver Pine Forest, would begin the task of clearing the undead in the Tirisfal Glades.

The main task of this clearance is to purge all the undead except for the royal city of Lordaeron. The Agamande's disaster-controlled towns, as well as the Quiet Towns further west, are on the purge.

The 1st and 3rd Legions were in the area of East Lordaeron and were temporarily put on the defensive. When the fighting in the Tirisfarda is over, the army will enter the offensive when it arrives.

The meeting was over, and the paladins walked out talking in twos and threes.

"Locke, come home for dinner in the evening." High Lord Mograini stopped him, his expression a little grim, "I have something to talk to you about. ”

"Oh, good." Locke faced him unnaturally, and his face unconsciously warmed up. This feeling is like having done something bad and being discovered by your parents, and you are about to face punishment.

Looking at the distant Great Lord, Locke breathed a sigh of relief, it was too much pressure to stay with his old man now.

"Hey! Brat! The general's deep voice came from behind.

"I think we need to have a good talk."

Locke chuckled and turned his head to see that the Grand General Abidis was staring at him. Behind him, Bridget Zheng stuck out her tongue and grimaced.

"Hello General." Locke said awkwardly, "Is there anything I can do to help you?" ”

"You—" The general blushed, and he pointed at Locke's nose, trying to say something but unable to say anything.

Suddenly, he grabbed the blue scarf around Locke's neck and slammed him against the wall of the conference room, "What a good thing you did! Don't you understand it yourself?! ”

"Don't get excited," Locke could only make a mosquito-like sound, "and there's a reason for that." ”
