The drizzle in the southern silver pine forest slowly stopped, and the drizzle-filled Amdo Avenue was muddy like a fully fermented rotten surface. People and livestock should be careful when walking on it, so as not to trip over the mud-covered branches and fall to the ground, sticking to a mixture of black mud and dung.

A group of red-clad soldiers emerged from the town of Ambermir, lined up along the sides of the dirt road to greet the arrival of a certain dignitary.

At the beginning of the procession, Baron Wellington and a group of nobles waited on the side of the road to watch the end of the road. But the people who had been waiting for a long time did not come, and the aristocrats waited for the people who were here to point their fingers. Many people couldn't keep their faces on their faces and began to talk in whispers.

"It's not yet there, alas... My legs were numb. ”

"Alright Barron, I remember one time you and your maid had a night in bed, and the next day you went hunting with me in the woods?"

"It's good that I didn't let you fight the undead, just let you stand for a while. Besides, the person who came could be the future King of Lordaeron, and you don't want to make a good impression on him? ”

"I'm from Gilneth and I'm not from Lordaeron..."Wellington, who was at the forefront, listened to the muttering of the nobles behind him, "He's not my king..."

"yes, you're right. It's a pity that your king has abandoned you and your realm to defend against the undead. Is it necessary for such a king to be loyal to him? ”

“....”

"This has been Lordaeron's land for a long time, Barron. You still want to keep your family's territory. If you don't recognize him, then don't complain if he confiscates your territory..."

"He doesn't have the right to do that."

"No, he just has the right to do this, wake up, don't let alcohol fool your head, Greymane has abandoned your family a long time ago!"

The unconcealed topic of the nobles behind him continued to reach Wellington's ears, and Wellington, who had been temporarily appointed commander of the southern Silver Pine Forest, had no intention of persuading his friends.

He said what he had to say, and he did what he had to do. If they still don't come to their senses, Wellington will get ahead of Lord Harvey and dispose of them.

The position of commander of the Southern Silver Forest, which encompasses all the authority of the military and government, is a very important position that Wellington cannot ignore. This is the key to breaking into the upper echelons of the Scarlet Crusaders and even the core leadership of the Harvey Grand Lord!

This opportunity is a once-in-a-century opportunity for the Wellington family! If he hadn't seized this opportunity, he would have been buried in the cemetery long ago, and his grandfather, Baron Wellington Sr., the old timberwolves who started the noble family of Wellington, would not hesitate to get up from the coffin and kill himself to accept Locke's solicitation....

Baron Wellington also believed that with his knowledge of the Kingdom of Gilney, he would inevitably be appreciated by Lord Harvey, and it was possible to go further in the future.

Therefore, he is willing to do anything that can strengthen the Wellington family, and with his efforts, the Wellington family may not be able to become a prominent family!

In Wellington's trance, a small group appeared at the end of the road in the distance. Flying red flags, they slowly walked down the muddy road.

Wellington began to feel a little annoyed, the rain before was really not the right time, why not fix the road here in advance....

In a flash of thought, the cavalry who had first waved the red Scarlet Crusader banner and the blue Lordaeron banner had already rushed to the front of Wellington and other nobles.

The neighing of horses and the rubbing of the knights' armor brought Wellington to his senses. Due to the narrowness of the streets, the nobles and some onlookers retreated to make way for the knights in front.

Tight, thick, angular full-body plate armor, with a handful of red velvet floating behind the helmet on the top of their heads, only their eyes and mouths exposed, the knights held the flag in their hands in one hand and the straight sword at their waist in the other, looking at everyone around them vigilantly.

Under the scrutinizing gaze of the knights, everyone subconsciously lowered their heads and did not dare to look directly at them.

Without making everyone wait, Locke soon appeared in front of the nobles on a lightning bolt, and he refused the young squire's chair and rolled over and dismounted himself. Beckoning to the young squire, who quickly walked up to Locke's side and looked at him timidly.

"Ben, I don't need this. I'm not old enough to need someone to serve me to get off and off my horse. Looking at the somewhat panicked young squire, Locke patted him on the shoulder and continued, "General Abydis has not placed you in front of me, not for you to do these things. ”

"Your cousin Briggette doesn't want to see that either."

"But, Lord Harvey." The boy with freckles on his face hesitated and said, "Isn't that what the squire is supposed to do?" Serve you tea and water, wipe down your weapons, tidy up and disassemble your armor..."

"Yes, it's not true," Locke smiled and patted Ben's head, "A true knight starts with small things, but I'd rather you learn something different from me than any other knight would." ”

"Got it?"

Looking at Locke with a smile, Locke shook his head with a smile, "It's okay if you don't understand, you'll understand in the future." Remember, don't move me that chair again. ”

Ben nodded vigorously, and then followed Locke to the nobles of Ambermere.

Locke greeted the nobleman standing at the forefront, who was undoubtedly their head.

He was neatly dressed, his exposed clothes obscured by a dark red trench coat with a stand-up collar, and dark red trousers wrapped in dark leather boots that reached his calves. On the left side of the waist hangs an ornate long sword, and on the right side of the waist hang two daggers, one long and one short, typical of a Gilnesian attire.

He had short, thick black hair, brown eyes that looked at him scrutinically, and a black beard that wrapped his mouth and chin together, but they were unusually neatly trimmed.

Most of the surrounding nobles were dressed in the same way as him, and unlike the nobles of Lordaeron, who liked to wear large capes, most of the nobles of Gilneth wore thick trench coats, which may have something to do with the location.

Locke smiled and said to him, "Ah, you're Baron Wellington." ”

Wellington forcibly resisted the urge to kneel, and it was very inappropriate for the other party to do so before he was king.

"Lord Harvey, I am Hardin Wellington, Lord of Fort Wellington." While Baron Wellington introduced himself, he did not forget the people behind him, and he turned sideways to introduce to Locke, "These are our local lords, this is..."

When Wellington had introduced the nobles one by one, there were quite a few commoners gathered here, and they looked curiously at the young nobles who were surrounded by the nobles.

Some people had seen Locke's statue and they shouted it out right away, which made the atmosphere lively. Locke's name is naturally known to them, and thanks to the propaganda of the Dalaran wizard who sheltered them, they know that it is Locke who has been saving them food.

Eventually, Locke briefly spoke to these people, and then entered the local town hall surrounded by the nobles.

The benches in the small meeting room of the town hall were removed, and only at the pulpit was a thick chair with a backrest, ornate in gold leather. Locke walked straight up and sat down, his squires and the guards standing behind Locke on the left and right.

When all the nobles had entered, Locke, who was seated on the throne, shouted to the nobles below, "Lord Harding Wellington, please come forward." ”

Baron Wellington slowly squeezed through the crowd, straightened his clothes briefly, and came to Locke's face under the complicated eyes of all the nobles, and half-knelt down.

"The peace of the southern silver pine forests has come early thanks to your efforts. In my capacity as Commander-in-Chief of the Supreme Armed Forces of Lordaeron, I announce the official appointment of you as the commander of the Scarlet Crusade in the southern Silverpine Forest. ”

Then, Ben, the attendant behind Locke, walked down the pulpit with Locke with a red box, and walked to Wellington, who had just stood up.

The squire opened the box, and Locke took out a bright red crusader robe from inside and turned to face Wellington. The latter bowed his head at the right time, and Locke put his robe on Wellington's body. Wellington's attendants came up from both sides to help him straighten his robes, and when he was ready, Locke took out a parchment roll with a red stamp from the box.

"This is your letter of appointment, Lord Wellington. I hope you will protect our southern silver pine forests from foreign enemies. ”

Wellington knelt down again, and said in a firm tone, "I will not live up to Lord Harvey's expectations of me, and I will not let even an inch of the land of the southern Silver Pine Forest be encouraged by the enemy!" ”

These words made many of the nobles present pout.

The nobles near the Wall of Greymane in the southwest are still in a state of flux, and although they are here with Wellington, some are still unwilling to swear allegiance to Locke.

They had all been persuaded by Wellington to come here, after all, outside the walls of Greymane, no one could withstand the attacks of Lord Harvey's army. It wasn't a problem for them to change their allegiance to a feudal lord, but what exactly the royal family of Gilneth thought, they didn't know.

The Wall of Greymane not only blocked the invasion of the undead of the natural disaster, but also blocked the news inside the wall, and no one knew what was going on inside. Who knows if the kingdom's armies will come out of the walls of Greymane again in the future and demand this part of the land he once abandoned from Lordaeron? Once that time comes, these nobles who are already on the front line will definitely be unlucky.

What's more, the young man in front of him is not yet the king of Lordaeron, and the last heir of the Minethil family has not really disappeared from history. At this time, it would be a great risk to take refuge in him in advance, which was a risk that the nobles present were unwilling to take.

Thinking of this, they felt some sympathy for Wellington again. At the same time, he began to hope that the young man would fail in Lordaeron, preferably not the king, so that Wellington, the driller, would fail in a mess.

Locke pulled Wellington up from the ground, and he made Wellington stand at his side, and said to the indifferent nobles around him, "Lordaeron will not forget those who have helped us, but he will not be indifferent to those who have fallen into the grave. ”

"The battle in the Hillsbrad Hills is about to begin, and if you are interested, you can all come with me to see it. Look at what the betrayer has paid," Locke smiled at the nobles in front of him, "I'm sure this will make a good comparison for some of you." ”
