On the walls of the Undead Barrier, Calamir stood watching the gate open as the Barrier opened, and scattered civilians entered the Tirisfal Glade from the Eastern Lordaeron Region.

They dragged their families and brought their own salutes. Or drive their scrawny old horses and slowly pull all their belongings into a fortress, through which they come to the Tirisfal glades.

This has been the case since the day before yesterday, and at first the number of people was not as large as it is now, but from today onwards, the number of people has begun to increase exponentially.

As a member of the security services, Karamir was happy but also had a certain suspicion of the civilians below.

Happily, after the high lord has the right to speak, the civilians will decisively leave the crusader outside. This also diluted the fact that the Great Lord was driven out of the hands of Silver to a certain extent. Although the Great Lord has always said that he has not withdrawn from the Silver Hand, the people below generally believe that this is the act of his Great Lord to save his face.

And now that he is out of the hands of silver, the support of the noble council has undoubtedly allowed the great lord to step out of that vortex. This brings the problem back to the crusaders outside.

The Silver Hand has been doing all this under the banner of restoring Lordaeron's honor, and without the approval of their own lord, they are traitors to the kingdom of Lordaeron.

Thinking of this, Karamir couldn't help but laugh. This is really an irony, presumably the demon in the hands of the silver would never have imagined that things would take such a turn, right?

How many people will follow a group of kingdom-deeming traitors?

See, that's how the civilians are swarming down there. They all know the choice, don't the members of the Silver Hand know the choice?

However, there must be problems among these civilians. There will definitely be spies sent from other places to find out the news, but it's not easy to identify. This requires a lot of time for the Ministry of Security to observe, and it will take a long time. Of course, it is possible to observe for a few years that the spies will not move.

But whatever, I'm the commander of this fortress now!

Karamir glanced down at the colonel's robe on his chest, and he was still a little proud in his heart, and it was a great benefit to stand on the right team.

The undead rampart's doors were still entering the civilians, and along these zigzags the civilians backtracked, a scattered procession that stretched all the way to the Valley of the Hearth.

Civilians emerge from all corners of the city of Hearthvale, appearing on the various side roads, eventually converging on the road leading beyond Hearthvale.

The crusaders along the way did not stop, and they watched calmly as the civilians departed. They won't do anything without receiving orders from their superiors.

The city of Hearthvale is at peace today, and the hustle and bustle of yesteryear has disappeared from the streets. Pedestrians are in a hurry.

Although the crowd of people leaving had begun to take shape, many civilians in Fireplace Valley were unmoved. Most of these civilians who left early were homeless people in Hearthvale, or people who were living in great hardship.

They wouldn't have chosen to leave the Valley of the Hearth if life had could. After all, leaving one's familiar living environment is not acceptable to everyone.

Many more watched indifferently as they left.

In these dark years, the royal power has been compressed to the extreme, and most commoners think about how to live in this situation. As for whether these people are enemies of the kingdom or not, it doesn't matter anymore. What's more, how could the Silver Hand be a group of traitors?

As long as there is someone who can protect them, they will live here and will not leave until they have to.

The atmosphere at Mardenhold Castle has never been more oppressive than it is today.

The castle's owner, Lord Tyran Fording, had no smile on his face since he received a resolution that was supposedly from the Council of Nobles.

The always optimistic lord frowned at this for a few days.

Since the day before yesterday, Tyran would take out the resolution in his hand from time to time to take a look. It's just that when I look at it again today, the depression in my heart can't dissipate.

According to his civil affairs officer, the flow of civilians leaving the Valley of the Hearth has been steadily increasing in the past few days, and this news worries him very much.

The departure of these people was like a thorn in his throat, and he was very uncomfortable when he couldn't go up or down.

It is true that there are many civilians in his territory who are homeless. They can only huddle under the eaves on both sides of the street, living the hardest life. Some vicious law and order cases have also been committed by these poor civilians, but as a lord, Tyran knows what it means to have enough people for a territory.

If the territory wants to develop, money is of course important. But there is no one, and no amount of money is useless. Without money, the development of the territory will be slower at best, but without people's territory, it will not be able to develop.

In the long run, everything in this territory will eventually come to a standstill.

However, this is only one aspect of his worries, and the other aspect keeps him awake all day long.

The meeting of the Silver Hand a week ago broke up unhappily because of what happened at the meeting, and the Silver Hand split.

The Crusaders, the armies of the Silver Hand, also created a great clash of ideas. It was split into three parts, an outcome that was undoubtedly unexpected.

Baron Tyrosus had not long since officially hoisted the banner of the Silver Dawn in the Chapel of the Light's Wish, and he began to collect all the intelligent races sympathetic to Lordaeron in the vicinity.

Dwarves and elves were the first to be recruited into his army, and Tyran had even heard that even some adventurous orcs had been recruited. This made Attorney General Ethanlien very angry, saying that Tairossos had forgotten the history of the orc invasion of them!

The great general Abidis chose to hold on to the hands of Tyr because he doubted the identity of the Grand Commander. There, he regrouped for battle, fighting the undead there with limited resources, along with Wadmar, lord of the Hand of Tyre, and Barry Westin, the Crusader's naval commander.

Although he did not dissociate himself from the Crusaders in Hearthvale, he was not much different from separation. Because they would not accept any orders from Dassault Khan, let alone Renault.

And Locke .....

Tyran shook his head, not wanting to think about it any more.

The once mighty Crusaders were completely reduced to history on that day. From that day on, they began to become enemies of their once closest comrades. And that closest comrade-in-arms has now become one of their worst enemies.

According to the head of the new Silver Hand Knights and Grand Commander of the Crusaders, Renault, their betrayal of the Crusaders was even worse than the Scourge of the Dead! Their crimes are unforgivable and they must be punished!

But now the appearance of this resolution of the Lordaeron Noble Council has pushed their group of people to the forefront. Renault's thoughts were coming to an end, as they were now faced with an extremely awkward situation.

They have been fighting the Scourge under the banner of Lordaeron, but now they are facing a situation that is not recognized by the Lordaeron authorities. This was undoubtedly a great blow to the Crusaders in the Valley of the Hearth, and the glory they held on to began to try to separate them from themselves!

What they have been fighting for for several years, they should choose to abandon them?

In response to this situation, Renault's explanation to the Crusaders in Hearthvale was that it was all Locke's conspiracy! The Council of Nobles has long been in collusion with Locke, and they want to divide the noble crusaders in order to achieve their goal of taking over the country!

We can't fall for their conspiracy, we must unite, we don't just have to fight against the undead of the Scourge to the end! We're also going to free Lordaeron from the opportunists of Locke and the Council of Nobles!

The slogan may be useful to the soldiers of the crusaders for a short time, but after a long time, when the blood cools down, the soldiers will still think through this problem.

They are now in an army defined by the kingdom as rebels! This is a decision made by the Council of the Nobles of the Kingdom!

In this chaotic period, the noble parliament represented the country ....

Thinking about this question, it may be time for the soldiers to really think about their situation.

And once the Crusaders of the Valley of the Hearth really arrived, it would be the time for people's hearts to fluctuate!

Tyran sighed again, shaking his head at the resolution of the Council of Nobles in his hand.

As the lord of the Valley of the Hearth, it is not a mistake to dedicate your realm to the Crusaders. As a member of the Silver Hand and lord of the Crusaders, Tyran has always been neutral. However, this time it was very uncomfortable to be caught between the two.

He himself did not believe that Dassault Khan was a demon, after all, paladins were warriors blessed by the Holy Light, and fighting with the Holy Light was the most basic condition that a paladin had.

What demon can use the power of the Holy Light that he loathes?

Locke's accusations that Dassault Khan was a demon were no longer tenable after Dassault Khan used the Holy Light.

But reason also told Tyran that Locke would not be vexatious on such matters. He couldn't be the kind of person who wanted to usurp the throne, and if he really wanted to, he could have closed off the southern theater of operations under his direct control. When the demons in his mouth made a mess of the Crusaders, he appeared in the form of Lordaeron the Savior.

At that time, will the status be difficult for him?

Tyran stood up and walked up and down the halls of the castle, a word echoing in his head.

Renault had to solve the problem, and it was not something that could be solved with a few slogans to motivate the soldiers.

In fact, Locke's importance within the Crusaders was even more reflected in the fact that he maintained the later supply of the Crusaders' huge army!

As one of the leaders of the Crusaders, Tyran knew this. Locke's southern theater of operations has been continuously providing food, grass and armament support to all the armies in the Eastern Lordaeron region, otherwise the battle situation here will definitely not be so easy!

It is conceivable that without Locke's logistical support, how would the several legions in Hearthvale survive? Slogans can make the soldiers skip meals and stick to the front line of the battle?

It's a joke.

Now the food supply of the army in Hearthvale is relying on the food that Locke used to transport to supply the soldiers! If a soldier has no food source, he will definitely seek his own lord of the Hearthvale to solve the food problem.

But can you still not know what the situation is in your own territory?

Yes, compared to the outside world, the Valley of the Hearth is surrounded by mountains and is not threatened by the Plague Mist, and the terrain here makes it an easy territory to defend and difficult to attack.

The green mountains and green waters here are peaceful, but the environment here also limits the development of the territory, and there are no vast fertile fields here, but only continuous forests.

Can forests be eaten as food?

If you really wait until the food is exhausted, I am afraid that the people will flee the city in the first place, and this territory will really be wasted! By then, even the soldiers will have to flee here!

Thinking of this, Tyran suddenly stood up!

Can't hesitate like this! You must find your own mentor Ethan Lien, as well as Renaud and Dassault Khan to make it clear!

It is to become an unrecognized armed force of the Lordaeron Kingdom, and to be kept away from the entire Lordaeron Kingdom and even all human kingdoms. Or lean yourself on Locke and solve the problem?

But soon Tyran vetoed the first answer, who would be stupid enough to be an enemy of his kingdom?

That's how to find a way to ease up with Locke?!

Let's hope Renault thinks so......
