"I'm sorry, maybe I shouldn't have mentioned that." The sergeant whispered, "That war cost many people their precious lives and families. ”

The eastern sky is slowly starting to turn white, and it's about to dawn.

Looking down at the ground, for a moment, Bechiel looked up at the sergeant next to her. Perhaps it was the long years of military life that made this woman different from the village women he had seen.

The limbs are strong, the muscles are strong, and there are frostbite and small scars on the face.

"How old are you?"

"The year I was born, the kingdom of Stormwind in the south was broken by orcs. King Ryan also died at the hands of the orcs," the sergeant smiled helplessly, "it was not a day to remember. ”

"Twenty-eight years old!" Bichir nodded and looked at the red sun rising in the east, and he exhaled and whispered, "If my son were still alive, he would be thirty years old this year...."

Hearing this, the sergeant turned to look at Bichiel, and she said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have mentioned this. ”

Shaking his head, Bichiel smiled helplessly, "Maybe this is a punishment for what I did in the past..."

※※※

For Locke, it is undoubtedly exciting to receive a lot of feedback today for the bounty task that was only placed yesterday. Especially in the town hall, the knight named Mormont who was standing in front of him now, and the few Alterac nobles who were tied up behind him.

This is a huge affirmation for my strategy. It's also a huge encouragement for people out there who want to earn bounties.

"I have received your kindness, Sir Mormont, and I believe you are not one of theirs." Locke got up and instructed the attendant behind him, and Ben turned his head and found a chair for Mormont to sit next to.

"I appreciate your support for me, do you have any requirements?"

Without saying anything, Bichiel Mormont handed the backpack that belonged to the nobles that he was carrying behind him to Locke's squire Ben. and notes or anything else that were found on other people's bodies. Then he handed over the two swords belonging to the viscount in his hand, as well as Ike's longsword hanging from his waist, to Locke's squire Ben.

Then Beechil bowed over to Locke and said, "It's not just me who has captured them, but the villagers who are following me. Let's do this together. I promised you, catch them, you'll reward them, and give them plenty of security. You know, if you get out of your shelter..."

Bichir pointed to the three nobles who were gagged and tied, and said, "Their men may take revenge on them." ”

"I hope you can protect them, my lord."

Locke nodded, it was the first time he had seen a nobleman who thought about the commoners, he was the first. This made Locke feel good about him in his heart.

"Since you said it was my promise," Locke was in a good mood, he didn't mind accepting the promise, "I took it, and I would let them attach themselves to my clan and live under the protection of my clan." ”

"Ben, go to Hudson and ask him to arrange for them to go to Eva and keep an eye on their safety on the way."

Hearing Locke's words, Bichir breathed a sigh of relief. But he quickly pointed to Ike and said, "I hope their bounties go all to them." ”

Locke smiled and nodded, "No problem! But what about you? Give money and promises to other people, what do you need?! ”

Hearing Locke's question, Beechel sat up from his chair, walked to the front of Locke, and slowly looked at Locke on his knees.

"I am willing to swear allegiance to you, my lord! I would like to be your retainer," said Half-kneeling Beecher, looking up at Locke, wrinkled on his forehead, "I can still wield a sword, and my mind is not yet rusty like an iron anchor entwined in seaweed." I hope my talents are recognized by you! ”

The smile on Locke's face slowly disappeared, and if it was anything else, Locke would have agreed to more or less. But this is a bit more difficult, because Mormont appeared so suddenly, the investigation into his past has only just begun, and it is difficult to get concrete results in a few months.

After all, who knows what exactly he's been through before? Is he someone else's spies or something, who wants to assassinate himself?

Moreover, he is really not young, can you imagine a man his age as the Great Lord Mograine, half-kneeling in front of him, allegiance to himself?

In Locke's subconscious, the role of older people is definitely not as good as that of young people.

In front of other people, Locke couldn't refuse directly. At this moment, he suddenly saw the Alterac nobles tied up behind him, who looked at Mormont with contempt and mockery.

Locke's mind moved and he agreed.

"I promise you, Sir Mormont. I don't think the Proudmoors will start a war against me because of you. Locke smiled in response, beckoning to Ben, and the squire hurried forward.

"Bring the three great swords."

Ben came to the table behind Locke, took the few long swords that had just been placed on the weapon rack in the corner, and stood in front of Mormont, who was half-kneeling.

"Pick a sword of yours, as my retainer, how can you not have a protective weapon? I don't think there's a better weapon for you than these three longswords. ”

Yes, as a family inheritance, this thing is very suitable. In the future, when Mormont's descendants pick up the sword, they will tell others all the stories behind it.

Without much thought, Bichiel directly grabbed Ike's long sword, which he used most skillfully.

"Loosen their ropes and get what's in their mouths out. Really, how can you treat a few adults like this. Locke looked at the Alterac nobles in the audience with a false wry, and ordered the guards around him to untie their ropes.

"Lord Harvey, I am loyal to you." As soon as he untied the ropes, Ike knelt on the ground as usual, and he looked up at Locke, "I am willing to give everything I have, and I only ask you to save me from death." ”

Ike's beginning was still very strange, and Locke hadn't seen that nobleman be so cheerful and so dead-faced. It seemed that he had made a good start, and the two behind him hurriedly knelt on the ground and said the same thing.

"Oh, speak it up? See what chips you can come up with to buy your lives? Locke looked at them with a smile.

"I know all of Clito's plans, and I'm willing to give all the wealth I've built up over the years. I am willing to make the power loyal to me available to you, my lord. ”

Locke looked down at the wall at the backpacks that belonged to a few of them, "Is all your wealth in there?" ”

Ike hurriedly shook his head and said flatteringly, "No, my lord. It's just the part that sits on the surface, and in the Andes, there are a few gold mines that I control, and only I know where they are..."

There are indeed gold mines in the mountains north of Hillsbrad!

"Also, I have a letter from an adult in the Southern Kingdom who contacted Klito."

"Oh?" Locke cheered up, he had long known that someone in the Stormwind Kingdom had contacted them, and this time he finally caught the tail!

Ike looked at the backpack on the ground and didn't speak.

"They were imprisoned in the barracks, and all their demands were met except that they could not get out of the room."

Commanding the surrounding guards, Locke looked at them with a smile, "After settling down, tell me everything you know, as well as your wealth." You should know that the Alliance has long since exiled you, and you are no longer nobles. ”

"You are against me and you are destroying the unity of Lordaeron, and I don't think anyone will have any opinion of me."

"Think well, think clearly, don't leave it out. Otherwise... You get the idea. At Locke's threatening voice, they were carried out by the guards.

Locke didn't rush to see what was in the backpacks of the three nobles, he focused on Beechelle, who was standing behind him, "Sir Mormont, can you tell us what happened in the first place?" ”

"I'm curious," Locke said lightly, "how did you join the Kul Tiras Navy, and how did you get knighted?" The Red Dragon destroyed the Third Fleet of Kurtilas, what was the situation like at that time? ”

Beechel stepped down and stood in front of Locke, his brown eyes looking at Locke, "It's a long story, Lord Harvey. ”

Twenty years ago, he was a smuggler wandering the endless sea. He said he was a smuggler, but he was doing business without capital. He had a two-masted clipper, and at sea he often worked as a pirate. Loot goods from other merchant ships, then avoid the ports of the kingdoms to avoid the taxes they need to pay.

The days were beautiful and long, but the turning point was not long in coming. If it weren't for the woman's appearance, he might have been hanged from the mast by the Kurtilas navy.

Bichir couldn't remember the exact time, but he only vaguely remembered that he had plundered an ordinary merchant ship in the strait between the kingdom of Lordaeron and Kurtilas. But what he remembered was the ship full of silk destined for Kurtilas, and the aristocratic lady shivering in the corner in the depths of the cabin...

That noble lady had a beauty that Bechiel Mormont had never seen before! She was more beautiful than any woman he had ever seen. Not surprisingly, Mormont, who was still young at the time, had his heart captured by the young noble lady.

So, he stole some of the goods. And for the first time, in violation of his personal principles, he forcibly snatched the noble girl from the merchant ship to his own ship.

This kind of rule-breaking thing will inevitably lead to a series of things happening.

The appearance of the aristocratic girl on his ship sparked a series of bloody events. Many crew members disagreed with him for offending a noble family by kidnapping a noble lady, believing that it would put their situation in danger. In fact, this doubt was correct, and the future soon confirmed ...

Others stubbornly believe that women should not be on the ship. The Mother of Tides will not bless them, but will bring disaster!

So, on one night there was a rebellion on the ship. That night, Mormont was desperately protecting the noble girl who was already pregnant with his child, and by daybreak, more than half of the crew of the plundering ship had died!

Mormont's hard work, the child in their belly, and the resentful noble lady slowly accepted him. So she made her request.

"Join the Admiralty of Kul Tiras! Become a part of the Kul Tiras Navy! ”
