"I'm sorry, Locke." Norris looked at Locke unnaturally, the plan was always not changing quickly.

"Oh? I'm sorry? What is there to be sorry for? ”

Look around, there is no one else around, and no one will see them. Locke put himself still in the wide chair and put his feet on the table on the balcony.

Holding a wine glass in one hand, he drank from time to time, and the other pointed to the chair next to him for Norris to sit down.

"I was a little too optimistic," Nollis propped her arms on the table in some distress, her hands stirring back and forth on her forehead. In fact, just a moment ago, Landra told me that no army would help the humans who imprisoned Prince Kael'thas, especially the Lordaerons. ”

"I know you again, no, it's us!" Norris immediately interrupted and corrected his mistake in his words, a small detail that made Locke secretly proud.

It seems that the heart of his elf sister has really come.

"Especially after learning of our intentions, Landra told me that the army, loyal to the Prince, had secretly regarded humanity as its enemy. What does that mean, you know? ”

Norris looked at Locke worriedly.

"Meaning, we probably can't recruit even one elf in all of Quel'Thalas, can we?"

Drink the wine in your hand in one gulp and let the warm feeling flow through your body. Locke lowered his legs, placed the wine glass on the table, and then took Noris's hands and held the somewhat cold hand.

"I don't care, really." Looking at Noris's worried face, Locke smiled and rubbed the skin on the back of her tight hands, "Actually, I was blind when I first made this decision. I just think that the elves, as victims of natural disasters, must have a lot of people who want revenge. And the closest front line for revenge is our Lordaeron. That's why I'm pushing for this resolution. It's just that I didn't realize that it was just wishful thinking on my part. ”

Locke lowered his head with a wry smile and shook it, "I even ignored the opposition of many lords and officers within us. ”

Strictly speaking, Locke really made a mistake this time. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is difficult to ride a tiger.

At the time of the Iva Military Council, not all of the legion commanders agreed to this order. Privately, he has been approached by numerous officers above the rank of Wing Commander, expressing concern that he would have to seek foreign help from other races, especially the elves of Quel'Thalas.

After all, a few years ago, Marshal Garithars had really discovered those elves, and they were fighting side by side with the evil Naga.

For now, this matter has become a nail in the heart of most of the officers and paladins of the human race.

There has been a first betrayal, there is a second time, this is the thought in the hearts of many people. Krok knew that there was a reason for this, but the others didn't.

Moreover, Garissus, as the late Generalissimo of Lordaeron, also gave his life for Lordaeron. He has become one of the heroes in the mouths of many officers and even paladins, and Locke is not good at making a fuss about this matter. What's more, as an outsider, Locke was still influenced by the game when he made his decision.

I didn't think about the disputes between races and races as thoroughly at the time. Always holding the mentality of putting interests first in the previous life, I just ignore that not everything can be measured by interests. The contradictions and hatred between races are the most troublesome issues.

So much so that he insisted on going his own way and came to Quel'Salas with his guards. Fortunately, this matter was supported by the Grand Lord Mograini, and the Grand Commander Dasuo Khan, possessed by the demon Banazar, remained neutral in this matter, and did not know what he was planning. As for the Grand General Abydis and the Grand Prosecutor Ethan Lien, they were the most staunch opponents. Probably out of trust and love for themselves, the two did not explicitly oppose their trip in the end. However, you are not allowed to do anything that would damage the reputation of the Kingdom of Lordaeron.

It can be said that there are many people in the entire crusader who are not optimistic, or even do not want to succeed. There's so much of this shitty shady stuff.

In this context, if he really returned empty-handed, he didn't even bring back a single elf. Well, it is indeed a huge blow to their reputation, to the supporters behind themselves, who want to be kings themselves. And for those with ulterior motives, this matter can be taken out to make a fuss.

In a trance, Locke recovered from his recollection, and he saw that Norris was still looking at him worriedly. So, picking up the flask on the table, he poured the amber wine into the glass and pushed it to Noris.

"Sunlight aging, right?" Locke quickly poured himself a glass, picked up the glass and tasted it slowly, "Very good wine, I'm very interested in the brewing process of this wine, maybe when we go back, we can take it back." And then it may become a trade commodity for our Ivar. ”

The elf girl didn't touch the glass of wine, she glared at Locke dissatisfied, "I'm talking to you about business!" ”

Locke shrugged his shoulders, put down the wine glass in his hand, and sat down in his chair solemnly, then nodded for Norris to continue.

"I'm worried about how this will affect you."

"It's okay, I don't want to be king." Locke didn't care to play with the wine glass in his hand, "At least for now." ”

"But I," Nollis was a little annoyed and wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Locke waving his hand.

"Okay, don't say any more. Just when we come to your hometown to travel, just take it away, and that's okay. In order to cut off the ** in his heart, Locke then asked, "Is there any noteworthy news in China?" ”

"One thing, maybe it's just an example." Noris, who was in a working state, reacted quickly and quickly thought of what to report.

"Recently, there has been an inexplicable frenzy in Lordaeron, which is spreading among the army and the aristocracy. This atmosphere affected the soldiers, who were extremely brave in battle. ”

"Isn't that just right?" Locke looked at her strangely, "If the soldiers weren't fanatical, how could they survive in Lordaeron's extreme environment?" ”

"But what if the fanaticism goes too far?" The elf girl looked at him solemnly, "Are you so fanatical that after the battle, will you kill the refugees who have just escaped from danger?" ”

Could it be that Banazal has begun to stretch out its tentacles? Locke put away the contempt on his face, and he began to ponder.

After learning that the Grand Commander Dassault Khan had been killed in battle, Locke began to prepare for the aftermath.

In this department of the Security Bureau, in addition to the personnel on the surface, a large part of the people have been transferred to the covert. Their missions are extremely secret, and none of the people who carry them out are natives of Lordaeron. Most of them were Gilneys and Stormwind Kingdom people, and even a very small number of Mages Dalaran joined this Jiān Kòng network.

The great sage Demidia, as the current deputy of Banazar, became their most powerful helper of Jiān Kòng Banazar.

Those who participated in Jiān Kòng didn't know what they were doing, and those who knew what they were doing were elite forces selected by Noris. They were all favored by Iva, at least in terms of loyalty, and there was no big problem.
