Chapter 713: Do You Want Me to Be a Milk Rider?

He is no longer just a big nobleman, he is basically the king of Lordaeron now, and many things cannot be said in this small circle.

This kind of thing should be said at a larger court meeting, so that all those who are qualified to know can consider it together!

Now what Locke does, there is more to think about.

Interrupted by Mormont like this, Locke thought carefully for a while, and found that many things could not be carried out.

For example, he wants to win over and divide the Forsaken forces under Sylvanas, and uses a series of methods. Although I don't have to worry about the feelings of the nobles about some things now, but letting them know that there is such a thing will always imperceptibly affect other people. This top-down influence will have a good effect on alleviating the panic of low-level people.

The people of this era will always blindly trust the aristocracy, which is actually a manifestation of lack of knowledge. Few commoners would have wondered why the kingdom had done this, because they had put all their energy into the life of their families.

I can't get enough to eat, so how can I have time to think about anything else?

Locke thought about it for a moment, and it suddenly occurred to him that something had been left behind for a long time. That happened in parallel with the relocation of civilians to the western part of the Tirisfara Glade.

"Berg, what's going on with Goblin Ventures against Milltown? Why haven't I heard anything in this time? Locke asked, and the atmosphere was silent for a moment, and then everyone laughed.

Could it be that there is really a situation there?

"Lord Harvey, the situation there is not as simple as we think." Berg laughed and explained what was going on with Locke.

It turned out that as the Crusaders pulled out the undead strongholds in the Silver Pines Forest and the Tirisfal Glade one by one, most of the necromancers wandering in this land were concentrated in the only stronghold of the Scourge Legion. Moreover, because this stronghold is deep in Locke's back, it is extremely strategic for the Scourge Legion.

When the venture capital firm launched a military strike on the area, ready to earn Locke 10,000 gold coins, the town was flooded with thousands of undead. Of course, the goblins were not surprised by this, in fact they had been preparing for the same for a long time. With their construction machinery creations, they naturally destroy as many of these lifeless bone frames as they can.

But the problem is that no matter how hard the goblins try, the town will be flooded with hordes of undead soldiers the next day after one day has passed. And the level is still rising....

From the very low-level undead skeletons to the carrion, to the undead beast blast made of animal corpses, to the dead human soldiers armed with elite weapons and armor, with the powerful forces of Abomination, Gargoyles, Banshees, Psychic Wizards, Acolytes, and Necromantic Archwizards!

In just one month. The quality of the undead in this town has come up several cliff-like leaps! Even in recent battles, there are Death Knights patrolling the ruins of this town!

The facts are in front of the goblins, and there is definitely a portal to the undead of the natural disaster. In order not to break the agreement, many stormtroopers were organized for this goblin, hoping to rush in to find the portal and destroy it, but the results were not very good.

Few of the stormtroopers who went in returned, and the goblins who came back said it was hell...

While the goblins are complaining, they have ignored Locke's demand for explosive yield control... In fact, they couldn't take care of any of that, and if they didn't use the high-yield explosives, they would have been pushed down the hillside of Mill Town by the undead monsters...

Now the goblins are constantly bombing that town every day, and due to the existence of the forbidden air circle, the goblins are flying high in the air and constantly dropping bombs, trying to blow up every inch of the ground in this town.

It is hoped that this method will be used to destroy the Forbidden Sky Circle and the portal of the Scourge Legion in this town....

Now, Claire and Berg have increased the number of gold coins for this mission to 15,000 without alarming Locke, which is more than half of the monthly military expenses of Locke's existing army.

Locke smacked his lips, not sure what to say.

There is a big reason to find the goblins to deal with the troubles there, and there is a big reason to take the wealth accumulated by the Agamande family from there, and let them control the amount of explosives as well.

At that time, the Crusaders did not have the time to deal with this matter, and the finances at that time were not as rich as they are now. At that time, he had just made partial contact with the Rear Admiral Stosson, who had just been sent by the Proudmoor family, and had the intention of building a ship. Now the trade mission of the Kurtilas is probably coming, after all, Fena has been there for so long.

The Mill Town must be fought, and the gold coins below are used to build Iva's navy. The Navy's shipbuilding program will start as scheduled, but the money will not come out of Eva's current finances.

And now it seems that this mill town is a bomb that Kel'thugad wants to plant behind his back.

Before, it was like an abscess, hidden in the frail middle-aged man of Lordaeron. If Lordaeron had decided to go out for a walk that day and fight someone, it would have exploded... This explosion will definitely make Lordaeron's brain go down, not to mention, and there will be some serious inflammation, and it may be impossible for Lordaeron to fall down.

It's just that Kel'thugad probably didn't expect that this abscess was pierced by the goblins while it was still hidden, and they had to fight the goblins in order to prevent this stronghold from being destroyed. And in order to take this large amount of ransom, the goblins must also fight them to the end, and the two sides will probably fight back and forth like this...

Luckily, fortunately...

Locke thought happily, if his own soldiers were to fight, how many soldiers would have to be sacrificed?

After thinking about it for a while, the subordinates below began to talk in a low voice, Locke coughed a few times, and the sound gradually disappeared, and everyone looked at Locke.

"You all know that I inherited everything from the Agamande family," Locke smiled and stood up from his chair, "Do you want to come with me to see what else is buried there?" ”

Everyone looked at each other, and everyone knew that the Grand Lord of Harvey himself had inherited everything from the Agamande family. The Tirisfal Glade was once the domain of the Agamander family, and it is said that the title deed in the hands of the High Lord was taken from the family's treasure house.

But many people speculate that the Great Lord did not bring out all the treasures at that time. Now, the rumor has been confirmed, and it seems that the Agamandel family's treasure trove is in the Mill Town!

"Have Gates and Olivia change the coordinates of the portal in the wizarding quarters, and have all the wizards come with us on a trip to Ashmanor and from there to Mill Town." Locke clapped his hands and said with some excitement, "I was in a hurry last time, and I haven't had time to see what else is there..."

Half of the people were in favor of the proposal and half were not, and those who did not approve of it feared for Locke's safety. The goblins hadn't dealt with the trouble there for so long, and it was clear that there was a serious problem. Those in favor believe that there are wizards and prosecutors, and that there are vigilant legions to protect security. It can't be beaten, but safety is definitely guaranteed. Go check it out, brainstorm and maybe hit it down...

In the end, Locke made a decision, he was an idle man, and doing nothing was not his style. While you have free time during this time, it is best to take care of these personal matters.

"Let's go and see, it won't be long. Just to see how Baron Berg's transfer of civilians went. Locke smiled and pointed to the somewhat rudimentary town hall, "Even if I'm going to be crowned, I'll need to make time for the throne hall in my Dragon Castle to be built." Doesn't it feel too stumbling to be crowned here? And there are so many of us, we can't just stay here to work, right? ”

The king and queen had to have a fortress worthy of their status, and the city of Iva was not planned with this in mind. In a hurry, the castle that Locke was once building could only be enlarged.

In order to fulfill his dream of a house with a sea view, Locke's castle was built on a small hillside near the sea in the north of the city of Iva from where you can not only overlook the entire city of Iva but also see the endless sea as far as the eye can see.

When the castle was originally redesigned, this terrain was deliberately chosen. Locke deliberately named the castle 'Dragon Castle' to correspond to the dragon on his family coat of arms that did not belong to this world.

The Dragon Castle was built around a wide circular hill by the sea, and the top of the hill was partially flattened, leaving a part about 150 feet high. Most of the ground buildings of Dragoncastle are located on the edge of the flattened hills, which in the future will be the main living place for Locke, his wife and children, and a large number of servants will serve them here. The 150-foot-high half of the mountain left behind it was extended inwards to dig out various functional rooms; For example, a storage room, a room to escape from war, and a secret passage to escape.

Because of the special relationship between the Iva Wizarding District and Locke, in the top part of the mountain behind, many tower rooms embedded in the mountain will be excavated. This part will serve as the residence and residence of the court wizards, whose presence will ensure that some special forces will harm Locke and his family.

The above is mainly the area where Locke and his family live, and at the foot of the mountain not far away, there will be an outer court. There is more than just the future throne room, the prime minister's room, the cabinet meeting hall and so on. There will also be rooms for the families of the nobles who worked and lived in the outer court, and in the future they were responsible for administering the country in the absence of the king.

Not only that, but the 'Scarlet Iron Guard' who was selected from the army and had a wealth of combat experience was in charge of the security of Dragon Castle. They made up only a thousand people living in the outer court. They are responsible for the security of the outer court and the dwelling of the inner court locke, and are responsible for guarding and defending against the enemies who will eventually invade the Dragon Keep. There will be stables, pastures, blacksmiths, wells and sheepfolds and all the functional facilities that will live for 2,000 people.

The perimeter is bordered by a tall wall that borders the hill behind the Dragon Castle, and a moat is dug outside the wall to connect to the canal of the city of Iva . At the location of the gate, there will be a blood-colored iron guard who will set up a log fence to guard it. The defense line is arranged according to the topography and is oval as a whole.

The Dragon Castle has two gates, each with a pair of square stone towers that protect the gates under a high roof, and the towers are connected to the city walls by passages that allow three carriages to walk side by side. One gate faces the harbor by the sea, and the other faces the aristocratic quarter outside.

It is a typical defensive building and a large aristocratic castle, not fancy but functional. Although Locke did not like to live in the mountains, he was able to accept that the buildings in the mountains were only storerooms. The inner court where he lived was located on a mountainside, overlooking the city and watching the sun set over the sea at night.

Of course, it's all in the mind. It's still a huge construction site...

When the decision was made to go to the Mill Town, and by the way, to see how the immigrants worked, in Locke's case, no one else would have any opinion.

The current situation is that it is not just a matter of looking at the war in Mill Town, but also about other civil affairs. This means that the prospective king is going to inspect the country, so naturally he has to leave behind institutions that can handle political affairs. According to the old rules, Shiloh must stay, and Mormont, as Locke's adviser, was left by Locke to be familiar with the operation of political affairs.

But the end result was not what Locke expected... The only people who chose to follow Locke were the great sages of Demethia and Baron Berg.... After careful calculation, Locke found that each of his subordinates had their own things to do.

Norris is the head of the Security Bureau, how can she follow him all day long? Hudson assumed the position of the de facto leader of Locke's army, and wanted to integrate the troops. Because of the end of the war in the south, whether the southern theater of operations should be retained or withdrawn, this issue has been discussed within the army, and even Brigitte can't leave.

Viscount Quat of the Council of Nobles, Locke handed over to him the affairs of the nobles as political officials and the division of administrative districts, which was busy with him. As a later man, he needs to hand over a satisfactory answer to Locke so that he will not be excluded from Locke's small circle.

Sally is the bishop of the Church of Light in Lordaeron, and as Lordaeron gradually unifies. The contact between the Holy Light Church and the center has also been slowly strengthened, and she has been deliberately closing the distance between her and Locke recently to avoid suspicion, so naturally she will not come.

So Locke is faced with a situation where everyone else is busy, but he himself is not busy.

The reason why Berg went with him was because Locke wanted to check the relocation and resettlement of civilians, which was his job, and he needed to explain the situation to Locke. And Demytia is a little strange ....

The Holy Light Bishop of the East Lordaeron region rarely went to the west with Locke, which surprised Locke.

At this moment, she handed Locke a hexagonal necklace carved with intricate patterns and a soft glow.

"It was left by Lord Dassault Khan before he died, and it had been kept in the drawer of Lord Dassault Khan's bedroom, and the demon obviously didn't like it. It is a sacred deed, handed over to Lord Dassault Khan by Archbishop Alonthos Fao. ”

"Now it's the best fit in your hands."

Locke looked at the golden necklace in Demyteah's hand and couldn't help muttering in his heart...

Sacred Covenant? This is the rhythm of what I want to be a milk ride?!!
