"Hmph, you little guy are complimenting me? Or is it hurting me? Bridget smiled and let go of her hand. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Hmph, of course I'm complimenting you!" Dalyan snorted, then ran with a smile on his face as he ran towards the endless carriages behind him.

"Lord Harvey, I have come to meet you on the orders of High Lord Mograini." A bald-headed officer walked up with a smile, "Holy light, everyone was worried when the news of your departure from Gadar spread. Good thing you're okay. ”

"Captain Thomas Thomson?" Locke asked with some recognizance, the bald paladin in front of him was a little different from the person in his impression.

He had the impression that Captain Thomas had always been wearing a tattered suit of armor and that he was unkempt. This has a lot to do with the changes in his family.

"Yes, Lord Harvey. I'm Thomas," the bald paladin grinned, "I didn't expect you to remember me." ”

Locke stepped forward with a smile, and Thomas saluted him with a smile on his face.

"How can I forget that you were the one behind my back at the ceremony when I joined the Silver Hand." Locke smiled and said, "You are all my witnesses, comrades-in-arms, and brothers. ”

Thomas smiled and didn't speak, he seemed pleased with Locke's attitude. There is no difference in status between the two of them, and they ignore themselves.

"Let's take care of this first, it's not a good place to negotiate." Locke said with a smile, then pointed to the ruins of Lordaeron, "Don't irritate the forsaken above, I brought a lot of supplies this time." These things can't afford to lose. ”

With the help of the accompanying soldiers, the contents of each vehicle were dispersed, which reduced the resistance of the transport, and the speed of the transport was increased to a certain extent.

After a simple order, the team merged and began to move towards Brill.

"I remember you weren't in the watchtower below? How is it now in the Second Legion? Locke asked Thomas, who was beside him, and then he looked at the pattern of his robe, "Oh? Have you been promoted in rank? Now it's Major Thomas. ”

"Ha, it's all thanks to you, Locke." Thomas said with a smile. "Your promotion has resulted in the Second Army lacking a Major Deputy Commander. So, I was transferred to the Second Army and was promoted. ”

"Ha, that's really congratulations." Locke congratulated him, and then asked casually, "After I led the Fifth Legion away, did the Abbey react?" ”

"Reaction?!" Thomas smiled wryly, "The reaction is almost overwhelming." ”

"Many people think that you are destroying our crusaders and saving money on the Fifth Legion, which has been armed. This includes many paladins in our Silver Hands. ”

Thomas continued with a wry smile, "They thought you were too arbitrary, and without understanding the situation in the Silver Pine Forest, you took the liberty of entering the forest with a group of recruits without logistical supplies. ”

"Although this matter was suppressed by the Grand Lord Mograini, the Grand Prosecutor Ethanlian, and the Grand General Abydis. But..."

Thomas didn't go on to say back, he changed the subject.

"During that time, because the First Army was carrying out the road clearing operation of the Eastern Lordaeron Kingdom, they did not come outside. The Second and Third Legions have begun to assemble in Brill, ready to cross the canyon to meet you. But our actions have spurred on the forsaken on the mountain, and they have rallied their forces to deal with our threat. ”

Thomas reluctantly said, "At that time, we all thought we were going to have a big fight. ”

"At the height of the tension, the Forsaken in the ruins of Lordaeron suddenly stopped. They cowered in the ruins and never came out, and we know from the scattered civilians who crossed the canyon that you have established yourself over there, and are gradually clearing out the surrounding gnolls. ”

As a result, the tension slowly subsided. The Third Legion also returned to the Kingdom of Eastern Lordaeron and took part in the task of opening the way. ”

Thomas sighed, he pulled the reins of his warhorse and looked at the canopy in the distance.

"That's why the other paladins and the other crusader officers aren't happy with you. Because of your personal reasons, you almost provoked a big fight, and we weren't ready for it. ”

Thomas looked back at Locke with some oddity.

"You need to be ready this time, Locke. Members of the Brotherhood of Light, who have also arrived from the Chapel of the Wish of Light, are to participate in the investigation into the motives of your action. See if you have committed treason. ”

"Involvement? Survey? Locke turned his head to look at him, "You want to investigate me?!" ”

Thomas shook his head helplessly, and he looked at the reins of the war horse in his hand.

"It's not that we're going to investigate you, it's the people over there who want to investigate you." Thomas pointed to the east, a little helpless, "Now, the members of the Brotherhood of Light, those sheer numbers of priests. They are now the main members of our Silver Hand, after all, our Silver Hand Knights are not a legitimate, pure Order anymore. The Brotherhood of Light is legitimate, and they dominate the organization of the Church of Light in their region. Strictly speaking, we Crusaders communicate with other kingdoms in the name of the Brotherhood of Light. ”

"For your protection, Grand Commander Dassault Khan, Grand Lord Mograini, and Grand General Abidis will be involved in leading this investigation into your actions. There's also a trial argument in between, where you have the opportunity to make your point. ”

"Attorney Ethan Lion will be the judge of that trial."

"Oh? So I'm going to court martial? Locke said gloomily.

Thomas turned his head left and right to look at the distance between the soldiers on both sides, and then turned his head and whispered, "The Great Lord asked me to tell you, don't be impulsive, and do what Gadar should do when it comes." He will take care of the rest. ”

"What? And restricting my personal freedom?! Locke's face darkened.

Locke only felt a nameless fire in his heart, and he jumped up. I brought so much armament and food in vain, I am afraid that you will have no food, no drink, no weapons and armor, but you did not expect to put me in prison!

"Shhhh Thomas looked around carefully, and the soldiers around him were far away, so he turned his head and said helplessly. "None of this would have happened, and we Crusaders have already made up our minds within ourselves that we don't care about it. The Great Lord has also written to you to come back for the next enlarged meeting. However, I don't know how the news got out to the priests of the Brotherhood of Light, the dead-headed priests, who have to take this out and say that you have bad thoughts about the kingdom. ”

"And this thing started to ferment in the days when you were going to come back, and everything became too sudden."

"The High Lord Mograini knows that you will definitely be very dissatisfied with the accusations of those people, and he is afraid that you will make some moves in anger and confirm those accusations, so he asked me to come and persuade you." Thomas continued with a wry smile, "The remarks of those priests have been agreed by many middle and lower-level officers, and they even think that you are a liar and have become the commander of the Fifth Regiment through improper means. ”

"So, this trial and adjustment action against you was passed yesterday. Even the Great Lord couldn't stop it. I hope you can understand the difficulties of the Great Lord, but the Great Lord has also said that he will give you a satisfactory answer to this matter. ”

"Now, you need to think about two things clearly, and how to explain them when the time comes." Thomas looked cautiously at the soldiers around him, "First of all, why did the Fifth Legion suddenly march into the Silver Pines Forest without reporting to headquarters, the priests question your actions for not valuing the lives of the soldiers. And the officers think that what you are doing undermines the discipline of the army. ”

"The second thing, after establishing a foothold in the Silver Pine Forest, why didn't the headquarters be contacted. Among them, this one is the most serious, and you have to think carefully about how to answer it. Priests and other nobles think that you have the intention to be treason and self-reliance. ”

"As for the rest, it doesn't matter." Thomas sighed, looked at the treetops around him and continued, "I saw those soldiers in red armor around me, they are the judges of the Grand Court, and they came here to bring you back this time." ”

Locke suddenly turned his head to look at the dozens of red-armored soldiers around him, and his eyes suddenly narrowed.

"Don't be impulsive, you have to trust the Great Lord." Thomas grabbed his clenched fist hand, "They're just soldiers on orders, even the priests of the Brotherhood of Light are just being used.

"The real source is the nobles with titles, and all this is instigated by them." Speaking of this, Thomas was also angry, "Those filthy moths, the remnants of the noble council, they ran back from the Stormwind Kingdom!" They made a number of demands for territory and rights, all of which we refused. So, we all suspect that this is what they have done to encourage the pastors to come out. ”

"They want to use this to force us to back down. For, according to the laws of our kingdom, if the king cannot govern the country, then the power falls to the council of nobles, who will act in the king's place, and keep the kingdom running until the kingdom elects a new heir. Now, they are holding this kind of thought, and they are working hard for this kind of thought, and they can do everything. ”

Thomas sighed, "We certainly can't give them the territory we've taken down, at least not right now." Otherwise, how will we fight the undead later? ”

"Locke, don't be impulsive, don't give them a handle. Don't let our faith in restoring the Kingdom be mixed with their moths. ”

Looking at Thomas's pleading eyes, Locke had no choice but to suppress the evil anger in his heart.

"Well, I believe in the Great Lord!"

The Council of Nobles?!

Okay, when I get out of this, we're slowly settling accounts!
