Chapter 356: A Sip of Incense
A few families are happy and a few are sad, Scarlett was successfully crowned Queen of Araso, and most of the people in Aracso were overjoyed, but a small number of people were not so happy, especially Leo's sentence at the coronation ceremony that he would not allow others to fall asleep, which made these people's hearts beat drums, and I don't know if this extremely strong warlock is going to raise the butcher's knife again.
Many people are only now regretting it, don't look at the Storm Kingdom as the most powerful among the human race, but they are full of internal strife, and it is impossible for them to intervene too much in the Kingdom of Arasuo, and the opposition forces within Araso alone cannot make any waves.
If something really happens, the people of the Storm Kingdom can pat their butts and flash people directly, and how can we give up all our family business here?
After all, the Lothar family is not comparable to Tolbane.
As a result, the opposition began to divide, some of them put out their minds and went about their own nobles, some of them changed their doors and expressed their loyalty to the new owners of Riptide, and only a few diehards were still dying. And these die-hard diehards don't know that they have become some of the people who have changed their doors, and they have been sold to the Lothar family even in the color of their leggings.
During the second purge of the kingdom, Leo was meeting with the generals of the navy who had been poached from the kingdom of Theramore.
"......, the situation is generally like this, when Gianna led her men to launch a rebellion, although this is correct in the eyes of many people, but the death of General Prodmore has always made it difficult for us to regulate, otherwise the kingdom of Alaso would not have drawn us over so easily."
As the boss of the navy, Binder is telling Leo about the situation before and after the Theramore Mutiny, of course, Leo can hear that many of the words are not objective enough, and add a lot of Bindel's own subjective opinions. But these biased arguments are exactly what Leo needs:
Daileen Prodmoor, Admiral of the Alliance and father of Gianna Prodmoor, now King of the Kingdom of Theramore, is a human admiral who stubbornly believes that the orcs entrenched in Durontal under Thrall's leadership are still bloodthirsty and murderous monsters.
The admiral led a fleet on a long journey, arriving from distant Kul Tiras and beginning an attack on the orc tribes, and Thrall, who was gradually overwhelmed, turned to Lexa, the warrior of the orc tribes, who infiltrated Theramore alone to meet Gianna and ask for her help.
Meanwhile, Daryn Prodmoor was not much better, months at sea were exhausting, but Daryn Prodemmore was still looking for all the survivors of the Alliance he could find, and eventually, he found his daughter, Gianna
It was undoubtedly a difficult choice for Gianna: support his father against the orcs and betray her new ally; Or go to war with her biological father to maintain the hard-won fragile peace between the Union and the Horde.
After a struggle of ideas, Gianna chose the latter.
Gianna overnight informs Sal of the location of her father's shipyard. Eventually, she helps Sal defeat her crazy father. Admiral Proudmore was killed in the battle, and out of Gianna's loyalty to the Horde, the Orcs agreed to let her troops return safely to Theramore, and in return, Theramore became the Horde's never-to-be-attacked city.
In other words, Gianna betrayed her father in order to maintain the hard-won peace between the tribe and the alliance, which is indeed a difficult choice, and this woman who is known as the first mage of the human race after Antonidas has a big picture. However, it also became an important excuse for others to criticize her, at least in the eyes of a large part of the Kul Tiras's army, Gianna was a shameful betrayer
Leo knew that Bindel's men were just a stepping stone for the forces of the Kurtilas navy against Gianna's faction, and if they thought Fort Riptide was capable enough, they would not hesitate to lead the strongest fleet in the alliance to join Fort Riptide. It just so happened that their goals did not conflict with the kingdom of Araso, and Leo was very sure that he could win them over.
Although Leo was not a true military fan, and had not studied books such as "The Power of the Sea" as deeply as some experts, he valued the navy as much as the yet-to-be-established Summoner Legion. For harbor cities like Fort Riptide and kingdoms with long coastlines like the Kingdom of Araso, having a strong navy is a guarantee of the kingdom's security. ,
Leo was noncommittal to Bindel's words, and he had a thoughtful expression: "I heard that His Majesty Varian, the former king of the Stormwind Kingdom, disappeared while traveling to Theramore, so did he reach Theramore's territory?" ”
Bindall and the other generals began to communicate in a whisper, Leo sounded very wrong, could it be that he wanted to deal with Theramore?
"What? Don't you know as the general of Theramore at that time? ”
Looking at Bindel with a smirk, Leo looked at Bindel's furrowed brow with satisfaction.
"It was Gianna's descendants who went to greet His Majesty Varian at that time, and we don't know much about the situation:"
"Huh? Greet? In other words, Zailian disappeared after entering Serraku's sphere of influence, tsk! One
A sly smile appeared on the corner of Leo's mouth, but his words shocked the hearts of Binder and the generals of the navy.
"My lord, you mean ......, no!"
Bindel stood up in shock, to be honest, it was not uncommon to doubt Gianna's thoughts, but every time this thought arose, he forcibly cut it off, not that he didn't doubt it, but he didn't dare to doubt it
"You mean Gianna, the woman may have done it with the tribesmen?"
A naval general said something that Bindel did not dare to say
These words were like a collective silence technique, and all the voices disappeared in this instant, and everyone even became cautious about breathing.
Although they were very dissatisfied, no one had ever doubted her character, but what if this was the case?
"What a headache!" Leo rubbed his eyebrows and waved his hand to signal everyone to retreat, "Riptide Castle doesn't have any intelligence sources in Theramore, so this matter can only be investigated slowly."
Binder and his party bowed and retreated, only walking out of the hall and the group gathered together, Fort Riptide did not have an intelligence network in Theramore, but how could they, the generals of the Kurtilas Naval Army, not investigate such a big thing? Unbeknownst to them, their every move fell into Leo's eyes.
Abducting the Kurtilas Navy and strengthening Fort Riptide will cause Gianna trouble, and I'll see if Dalaran will stick out her claws hidden behind her.
There is a way to take one step and see three steps, Leo knows very well in his heart, don't look at the current Riptide Fort and Dalaran don't seem to have any contact, but not now does not mean that there will be no in the future, this so-called neutral city is not ordinarily long: their people have infiltrated Riptide Castle, and if there is no syndicate intelligence, Leo is still in the dark.
Maybe the mages of Dalaran didn't mean anything, but who can guarantee this and things? When Fort Riptide gradually extends to the Hillsbrad Hills, there will inevitably be contact between the two, and how can it be too late to find a way when there is friction between the two sides?
After all, Dalaran is one of the Seven Kingdoms of Arazo, and Scarlett's desire to revive Arasaran will inevitably touch the nerves of some people, and the conflict with Dalaran is very likely to happen.
For the sake of peace, Leo must test this power worker who has been huddled in the magical barrier all day long, so that outsiders will not know what is going on inside
"What are you thinking?"
I don't know when Scarlett came to Leo's side, and the latter reached out and pulled the female knight into his arms.
"Nothing, I'm just wondering when Her Majesty will give me a title and let me taste what it's like to be a prince?"
Leo laughed evilly, Scarlett gave him a blank look, this guy always jokes about this, don't think you don't know what his idea is, with the status of a prince, he can justifiably treat himself badly.
"Would you like to wait a little longer? According to the rules, you can't "......" for at least a year after being crowned,
Scarlett really didn't expect Leo to be so bold, she was talking with a big mouth printed over, blocking her mouth completely, and a foreign object entered her mouth brutally. The female knight's mind went blank before before she didn't know how to deal with such a situation.
Instinctively wanted to get up and run away, but Leo hugged her tightly with both hands, making her unable to break free.
Biting his tongue hard? But that would hurt his work
This scoundrel knows how to bully me!
A trace of grievance rose in her heart, Scarlett pinched Leo twice, but Leo stopped when she gave up resisting. ,
Reluctantly left the female knight's lips, and Leo pouted with a look of recollection.
"It's so soft, it's so fragrant, it's so slippery!"
Scarlett was embarrassed, the red glow on the female knight's face extended to the base of her neck, if it weren't for the strength of Leo's hand, she would have fled long ago:
"The Prince's treatment is really good, it's really in vain that I have worked so hard to do so many things:"
Leo laughed and pecked lightly on the female knight's dissatisfied red face, admiring the shyness of the knight in his arms.
"You scoundrel, I came to care about you, and you actually treated me like this."
Scarlett whispered, and the jade hand pinched Leo's waist twice.
Burying his head in Scarlett's neck, sniffing the faint body fragrance of the female knight, and feeling the touching warmth and grease, Leo finally understood why the heroes of ancient times were sad to pass the beauty pass.
"Leo, don't be like this, someone from Silvermoon City is here."
Feeling the hateful hands around her waist sliding down, Scarlett was ashamed:
Silvermoon City?
Leo's eyes returned to clarity, was it for the Summoner's Legion or...
"Girl, let the uncle work again"
"Scoundrel...... don't ......." (This update is provided by [Shink] ))
