"You mean, the Grand Crusader Dasuo Khan is a demon today? A Nazrezm demon? Ronin walked around the room with his arms in his arms, and he said to Locke with some skepticism, "I have to tell the truth, I think it's nonsense." ”

"I haven't heard of a demon leaning over a human body, and I can't think of a reason for it to do so. Also, do you know what kind of demon Nazrezm is? ”

"Of course I know," Locke replied affirmatively, having never killed such demons in his previous life. "An evil and dangerous creature that is good at manipulating the minds of intelligent beings."

Luo Ning touched the beard on his chin in surprise and looked back and forth at Locke, "It's not accurate, but it's about the same." So how do you know this? ”

Locke spread his hand, and the light appeared in the palm of his hand, "Don't forget, I'm a paladin. The Light is omnipotent, and it tells me all this. ”

As a Grand Wizard, Rond didn't have as much faith in the Light as the others. In their eyes, the Light is also an energy that can be used. It's not much different from the arcane magic they use.

"Well, then, we're not going to talk about that." Ronin glanced back at his wife, who was whispering something to Harvey's wife, Norris, as if to see her husband's gaze, and Winnesa smiled warmly at Ronin.

Locke naturally ignored the act of showing affection, and Norris and him were not as explicit as they were.

"Tell me, how do you want me to help you," Luo Ning sat back in his chair, he picked up the water cup on the table, poured himself a cup of tea, hugged it in his hand, and said helplessly, "I know, if you want to get help, I'm afraid I have to help you solve this threat." Although I am still skeptical about this news. ”

Locke said righteously, "Since I am so sure that he is a demon, it will never be wrong. Mr. Ronin, I believe in the Light as much as you trust in arcane magic, and at the same time trust in my judgment. ”

"So what are you going to do? Isn't it better for us to just call him out and tell him, you demon, show your true form?! Luo Ning spread his hands with a helpless expression, "Moreover, you see that I am only a wizard here, that is, counting Gates and Olivia, we only have three wizards here." ”

"If you really know Nazrezm, then you should know how terrifying their true form is. For any ordinary person, it is a delicious and delicious meal. ”

"The other wizards in Dalaran have urgent matters and can't come over. In fact, I was able to come this time only because Modra helped me. Oh yes. Luo Ning smiled and said, "She also asked me to ask you to borrow money to seek gold coins to build her wizard tower." ”

Locke touched his nose, there is money, but it can't be lent out so casually, and the benefits of it are maximized, right?

"It's not a big problem with the gold coins, we'll talk about it later, but now let's talk about the demon first. I have a preliminary battle plan, which is ready, and your arrival has greatly increased the success rate of my plan. Before Locke could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Ronin's motion.

"You mean, you guys? Right? A smile appeared on Ronin's face, "Does it include those Quel'Thalas elves?" I was also surprised by their arrival. ”

"Yes, I have some relationship with them. That's one of the reasons why they're here. Reluctant to dwell on the subject, Locke continued, "I'll tell them to help me deal with that demon." ”

"Oh... Is that so?" Ronin nodded, and he said with a sigh of relief, "In that case, I wouldn't have to call the others from Dalaran." It's a great idea! You know, the money needed for Dalaran to rebuild..."

"Because I don't know when the demon will attack its target, we're just planning for now. But what I need your help now is to expand the teleportation array inscribed by Olivia in the cathedral first, if something happens tomorrow, there will only be one chance to teleport during that time, and I need to teleport everyone who needs to teleport at once. ”

"...."Luo Ning spread his hands helplessly, "You really don't treat me as an outsider, well, for the sake of the gold coins you are about to support me..."

"Alright, Olivia will come back to you in a moment, and I'll go to the elves' side," Locke said with a smile to Ronin, "and you'll see my sincerity when you leave." ”

※※※

The night of Fireplace Valley had fallen again, and Lord Tyran in Madenhold Castle was helplessly staring at the food on the table. His staff, Marta, was eating the coarse wheat cake on top of it with relish.

"Am I really being too the soldiers?" Tyran looked at the cup of hot milk in front of him and asked, "Why do they think so much about me?" ”

Marta ate the wheat cake on the plate in front of her, and even picked it up and licked it again, ignoring Tyran's question.

"I'm talking to you, Mar... Tower. When Tyran looked up and saw Marta, he was shocked to see the behavior of his baron's staff, and he didn't know how to speak for a moment.

"Well, I'm worried. I'm worried that I won't have anything to eat today. Marta sighed, put down the plate in his hand, and said to Tyran with a bitter face, "As a baron, I'm worried about food, and you say, how do the soldiers who are out there fighting against the undead monsters feel?" ”

"Especially since you've scaled down their food supply time and time again, sending all the current grain in Fireplace Valley to other strongholds."

"The soldiers fought to the death against the undead, and when they returned to the camp, there was only some thin hot soup in the bowl, not even salt. You say, my lord. "When the soldiers know that much of the food has been distributed to the civilians of Hearthvale, do the soldiers have any other ideas?" ”

"If you don't, the soldiers won't have anything to eat in the future. The soldiers do not produce, and they need to be fed and clothed by civilians. Tyran was a little aggrieved, and he said with some resentment, "If you don't stabilize the civilians, you may not have any food in the future." ”

"That's not now, my lord. Compared with civilians, the most important thing is to stabilize the army. For the army will defend us against the attacks and infestations of the undead. Compared to the commoners," Marta said, shaking her head, "it's true that you're the lord of the Hearthvale, but you can't favor your lords in everything. Don't forget, you're still the Grand Commander of the Crusaders. As long as you are the commander for one day, then you must make the soldiers believe in you and support you. ”

"How? Naturally, they have enough food. Able to lead them in the battle against the undead all the way on. Only with the full support of the soldiers can you consider doing what you want. ”

"Man's greed knows no bounds, just as you have taken pity on the commoners, given them free food, and satisfied the things you promised the commoners. But didn't they still surround the cart that sent the grain out today? Marta sighed, and he continued, "In this special time, there must be preparations for sacrifice. ”

"Don't we, as nobles, sacrifice them, sacrifice the army that protects our interests?"

Marta's words made Tyran not know how to speak for a while.

Tyran's background determines what kind of person he is. Educated by the Light and his father's childhood, it became his goal to be kind to the people and become a hero who was revered like his father.

But it is clear that Tyran, who lacked education in this area in the later period, has strayed from this perception.

"So what now?" Although Tyran was very reluctant, he felt that what Marta said was very reasonable, the army could not hold it, so how could the interests of the nobles be maintained?

"Well, you're just very good-hearted, my lord." Marta shook her head, "If this were any other nobleman, if it were me. Do I care if they live or die? There is no shortage of anything now, except for those who can walk on two feet, my lord! ”

"Say the solution! I don't want to hear this! Tyran frowned and stopped Marta's words, "I'm not just a nobleman, I'm also a paladin with a silver hand!" ”

"Alright," Marta said.

"It's simple, don't ship the grain out first." Marta thought for a moment and continued, "First stabilize the morale of the military and the people here, and then send someone to tell the Grand Lord of Harvey to seek more food aid. You'll have to keep their hearts here while Lord Harvey brings in the rest of the food. It's as simple as that, everyone, they just want to see you in action. ”

"When everything is stable, then organize the surplus civilians here as soon as possible and relocate them to the Tirisfal Glades."

"As long as there are half less civilians here, then our situation will be much better."

Tyran was silent, not in a hurry to agree to the suggestion.

Marta didn't speak anymore, anyway, the ceremony of the Grand Lord of Harvey will be held tomorrow, and Tyran won't be able to get there even if he leaves tomorrow. It doesn't matter if he doesn't go or not, he should stay here for a while.

"Marta?" He was waking up in his thoughts, and when he looked up, Tyran rubbed his forehead and said, "Spread the news." Let's just say that Fireplace Valley is no longer forcing people who want to leave to stay here. ”

"Alas.....!" Tyran let out a long sigh. Only as a lord can you know the importance of the number of civilians to the development of a territory.

"As my lord ordered, I will arrange for people to go outside and let them issue this decree." Marta bowed and said, "The commoners will appreciate that you are a kind-hearted lord. ”

"Herald! Tell the order to go down and make sure that all checkpoints and strongholds along the way cannot intercept civilians from leaving! ”

"A wise decision, my lord. There is a give-and-take! Marta couldn't help but praise the disappointed Tyran, "Don't give up your plans for the future because of temporary interests." We still have time..."
