The hall was quiet, and no one had any objections to Locke's words, as if Locke's last words were as ordinary as eating and drinking.

Locke, who had vented his frustration a little, let out a long sulk.

Fate will always surprise you inadvertently, just like you are in a hurry to go to Quel'Salas this time. Locke really didn't expect that he was in a hurry to stagger this time. Unexpectedly, Banazal launched his evil plan during the time he was away.

Hey, in the final analysis, it's my own carelessness. I always feel that Banazar still needs some time to get used to.

Locke looked at the silent crowd below, and sighed in his heart. He really didn't know how to explain to them that the Grand Commander was no longer a Grand Commander.

All the while, Locke was very anxious in his heart. Dassault Khan's problem was like a thorn stuck in his throat, neither up nor down.

This feeling of knowing the truth but not being able to do anything about it is terrible!

Locke also wanted to go over and directly expose Dassault Khan's conspiracy, but such an act was undoubtedly stupid. The Dreadlord's spells were far more terrifying than they could have imagined, and Banazal could even disguise himself as a holy light spell with dark magic! Locke couldn't imagine what would happen to him if he identified his Grand Commander as a Dreaddemon without tangible evidence.

Probably, everyone will think they're crazy, right?

And that's not the main thing, the main thing is that Banazar will focus on himself, and everything will be done to get rid of himself.

At that time, there were many people who were willing to play for him without even having to do it for Banazal.

The Dreadlord is best at controlling people's minds, and as long as he controls the upper echelons of the Crusaders and uses their tongue and power, he can only follow the same path as the Silver Dawn.

The focus of his eyes slowly returned, and Locke fixed his eyes on the silent crowd below.

Forget it, it's all my fault, you just do what you are told, and you have to bear the depression in my heart, in fact, it's me who should say sorry....

Throwing the already burned parchment in his hand on the ground, Locke looked at the frowning Bridget below, and he immediately called her.

"Deputy Commander Abydis, come forward! Record my commands! ”

Bridget looked up at Locke in surprise, this was the first time he had called his last name! Eventually, she slowly stood up and walked to the table next to Locke and sat down.

Gritting her teeth, Bridget silently pulled out the parchment paper on the table, dipped her quill pen in the ink, and waited for his command.

"From now on, stop screening the undead in the Southern Theater of Operations. In addition to the necessary daily work, such as praying, blessing, treating the wounded, etc. The rest of the time, under the leadership of Shiloh, I will sort out what the true teachings of the Holy Light are and summarize the true meaning of the Way of the Holy Light! ”

"Release all soldiers and civilians held in this screening incident and compensate accordingly."

"Baron Berg takes over all the affairs of Iva, except for the finances. Also, pacify goblins, gnolls, druids, and kobolds. Try to restore Iva's resource supply to its previous level. ”

These orders that seemed to be aimed at Shiloh made Shiloh himself's face slacken. She knew very well that most of the positions she had held before were inherently unruly, and the Great Lord would split them one by one sooner or later. Now, the Great Lord just handed them over to Berg in advance, and everything is back to normal.

Most importantly, the Grand Lord did not issue a substantive order for punishment. This is undoubtedly good news for her, she has always regarded herself as the right and left hand of the Great Lord, but this time she guessed the intention of the Great Lord wrongly, which shows that the Great Lord still trusts her.

Shiloh was instantly in good spirits, which made it strange to those who were always watching her and trying to see her bad luck....

Unlike Shiloh, Berg was full of excitement. In fact, he has already taken over the government affairs of Eva, but there has always been a veteran prosecutor like Shiloh on top of him. And now, he is really in charge now.

Locke paused slightly, allowing Bridget to follow his words. He turned his gaze to the position of the army, and after a slight hesitation after seeing Hudson, the old soldier, Locke gave the military order.

"All the corps in the Southern Theater of Operations can be put into combat readiness and ready for battle at all times!"

All the heads of military-related departments present looked at Locke with surprise on their faces. After making sure that Locke had not given the wrong order, a "buzz" began to turn heads.

It's just that everyone's face has a visible red light.

Now that the Northern Silver Pine Forest is calming down, the scattered gnolls are at risk of being caught in the quarries of the Southern War Zone by adventurers roaming the wild. The fish-men of Lake Lordanmere have not landed on a large scale for a long time because of the Crusaders.

The only Scourge undead who could have a large-scale battle with the southern theater of operations were all relegated to their stronghold of Thurberchel.

There has been no fighting in the Southern Theater for almost a year, which is undoubtedly a torment for the soldiers.

The officers who followed Locke in the early days, and the other high-ranking officials in the Southern Theater, all climbed to these high positions with the pace of Locke's expansion, which was the dividend of the war, which also made many later people admire.

Who doesn't want to be richer? Make your family more powerful?

"Great Lord, who is our enemy?!"

Hudson, as the deputy commander of the Southern Theater of Operations, the first man in the army, was sensitive to the news. While everyone else was agitated about it, he was the only one who pondered the true meaning of Locke's order.

When Locke gave the order for the army to be on guard, the first thing that came to his mind was the last thing Locke had just said.

"As long as I'm Rock Harvey here for a day! That's always what I say!! No one can stop my decision!! ”

"Not even the Grand Commander!"

It was this incident that the veteran soldier was worried about.

The fact that such words can be said in a fit of anger shows that their high lords have always had the idea of self-reliance or self-government.

Maybe because of something, I haven't made up my mind..... But no one can deny that their high lord has made this his domain.

Of course, that's what they've been expecting. But were they really ready to break with the Crusader headquarters?

Hudson's words quickly calmed down the originally chaotic crowd. At the same time, they turned their eyes to Locke, and they did not forget the last words that Locke said.

Locke understood the meaning of Hudson's question, but he did not want to split with the Crusaders, who in his ideal should be redeemed, not degraded.

But the preparations that need to be done still need to be done. He had to go to the monastery and see what was going on there. You know, the Great Lord is a wise person, he shouldn't have let such an "Instruction" be issued, but now that this thing has been sent down for a long time, the Great Lord has not stopped it.

Due to the rough record of this time in history, Locke did not know what exactly happened in it. But in the midst of that vague history, Dassault Khan, the incarnation of Banazal, corrupted all the high-ranking officials of the Crusaders except Mograine and Tairossos.

The corrupted Renault eventually killed his father, Mograine Sr., but that was a year later.

Now Locke can only prepare for the worst, assuming that everyone else is corrupted, and he will take the High Lord Mograini and Sally to the southern war zone and keep them away from the maelstrom. Then, slowly collect evidence through Demytia to finally expose Banazar to save the Scarlet Crusade.

This is the most optimistic estimate...... If not, then you can only go out on your own like the Silver Dawn and become an enemy of the Scarlet Crusaders.

However, Locke did not expect that the Grand Lord Mograini had died at the hands of Renault, just because the news was too slow.

"I need to go to our crusader headquarters first and raise my objection to the screening." After organizing his words, Locke looked at them and said, "As for our enemies.... Our combat mission is to liberate the entire Silver Pine Forest and completely clear the road to the Hillsbrad Hills. ”

Locke remembered what had happened to him at Talenmere, and in order to keep Lordaeron from falling apart, the passage had to be opened as soon as possible. And the Hillsbrad Hills must be garrisoned as soon as possible!

However, this will have to be said after returning from the Tirisfal Glades.
