"Big ...... Grand Lord...... What are you doing here? ”

Two days later, when Ares and Sylvanas appeared at the home of Bartona, the governor of South Seas, Bartona had no other expression on his face than shock. He looked at Ares' face, his heart beating. But then he forced his composure again. Politely struck up with Ares.

"Great Lord, sit down...... Sit......"

Baltona said with a smile. Before the matter was revealed, he had plenty of reasons to curry favor with Ares.

It's just that Ares doesn't want to talk nonsense with such people, and doesn't even want to spend a minute more in this dirty environment.

"No need. Baltona, I have come to ask you why it has been three weeks since the council asked you to provide an army of five thousand men to be sent to the city of Lordaeron within ten days. ”

Standing in the middle of the hall, Ares questioned sternly.

The ugly look on Bartona's face could be seen, but he quickly found an excuse......

"It's not ready yet, my lord, and as you know, there is no permanent regular army in Nanhai Town. The soldiers here are all conscripts. Temporarily drafted, without armor and decent weapons, I hope to arm them all before being sent to Lordaeron, and not a loose, seemingly incapable amateur army. ”

Baltona greeted him with a smile and complimented.

"The parliament is asking for an ordinary army, not being fully armed. By the time you fully arm this army, the Scourge will have already set foot in the gates of Lordaeron. Baltona, no more disguise. I know all about your plans. But I must tell you, Lordaeron, the whole of Lordaeron, has reached a point of life and death, and you are still thinking about your own interests, and in just two years, you have been revealed. Two years ago, it was a ruined village, without the Republic of Lordaeron. And now, Lordaeron is in trouble, and you, as the magistrate of Nanhai Town, have actually made up your own mind. What obliterates your conscience? ”

In front of everyone, Ares shouted accusations and cursed angrily. You can feel that the atmosphere on the field is suddenly awkward, and the relationship between Ares and Bartona is tense all of a sudden.

"These are all your speculations, your one-sided words, what evidence do you have to prove that I'm not thinking about Lordaeron? I have given so much for this country, and the Holy Light is above, haven't you seen it? The blacksmith kept the furnace open all night just to ......"

"Don't mention anything to me, you don't deserve it!"

Before Baltona could finish speaking, Ares rebuked him severely. His roar was like the roar of a lion, and the guards present were immediately tense to the extreme. In terms of power, Baltona does have the right to rule here, while Ares, as the head of the Order and a member of the Republic, does not have specific authority to direct the affairs of the place. The guards' hearts were uneasy, and it seemed that the battle here today was inevitable.

"You want evidence, and this is evidence!"

Ares said, taking a bundle of parchment from his waist.

"These are all the military expenditure bills of Nanhai Town in the past two years, including the official income of Nanhai Town, such an economy is enough to maintain a 30,000-level legion, and you do have a legion of this size in your hands. However, when Lordaeron was in dire straits, the council only asked you to reinforce the army of 5,000 men, but you refused to reinforce the capital of Lordaeron, citing insufficient weapons and equipment. In addition, there are all kinds of evidence of your embezzlement and abuse of power, Baltona, your trip to the governor of Nanhai Town ended early. When I return, I will convene the Supreme Council of the Republic and remove you from office!" At the same time, I know that you have hired an assassin group to assassinate me, but I will tell you that those stupid thieves have been left behind by me. You don't stand a chance, Baltona! ”

Ares angrily accused. Baltona's face could be seen to be blue.

"This, how is this possible? All your evidence is forged, it's fake! I will serve Lordaeron with all my heart until I die! ”

He shouted angrily.

However, Ares didn't listen to him at all.

"No, these are true, and they have your autograph on them."

Ares returned coldly.

"How did you get it?!"

Bartona screamed in horror.

At this moment, from behind the pillars, a teenager stepped out. That man was none other than Bryde, Bartona's son.

"It's me, it's me who gave it to them."

Fred said coldly.

Bartona couldn't believe his ears. His eyes widened as he stared at his son......

"Why? Why would you do this? My son ......"

He hissed and screamed. The whole body trembled, and he almost rushed up to pinch his unfilial son......

"I am not your son, and I don't have a father like you. Baltona, do you remember? In the seventh year, when Lordaeron fell, you hired a goblin smuggling ship to transfer all your possessions to that ship, leaving me and my mother in the ruins of Lordaeron. My mother and I struggled to find you, but you didn't come back. Power and wealth are more important in your heart. My mother eventually separated from me, and I left Lordaeron under the protection of the Silver Hand Paladin. I will always remember the silver-white emblem, the paladin holding me, sweeping away the undead in front of me, the ghouls biting his body, but he still protected me from the city, the ruins. Where are you in comparison? Do you still have the face to be my father? Mom was killed by you! I almost died under the butcher's knife of the undead! ”

The more Fred spoke, the more excited he became, and the bloody plot made the soldiers present stunned...... They always thought that Fred was Baltona's good son, but they didn't expect that the usually taciturn little Fred had such a tragic past hidden in his heart. So, how did their father and son get along under the same roof for more than a year? The officers and men present all had doubts in their hearts. It's just that now doesn't seem to be the time to care about this. Baltona had gone mad, and he was madly angry at Fred as a traitor.

"You don't understand, you don't understand anything at all!"

Baltona hissed and roared

"Soldiers! Catch him, kill him! Execute it now! ”

The guards hesitated for a moment but raised their arms against Ares, who was still governor of the place until the resolution of the council came down. He has the power to command the army, and Ares, despite his numerous honorable titles, does not have the power to command the army here......

"Who dare!"

Ares roared, and the great sword behind him burst out of the cocoon. An incomparably dazzling light suddenly appeared in the hall, and everyone was stunned......
