Chapter 171: Inside the Kingdom and Troubles
The Stormwind Court has made a new announcement.
In the name of King Ryan Wrynn, pardon the rebellion in Twilight Forest and Twilight Orchard, and have them prepare their taxes for the month within a month, and hand them over to the tax collectors sent by Stormwind to return to the kingdom's rule.
In recognition of the rebels' voluntary surrender and turning back, the Storm Court allowed them to elect their own local sheriffs and work with Nightlight Town Fortress to defend the Twilight Forest area.
In addition, the Demon Knife of Venianka* is the legal lord of the land, enjoying the rights of all noble lords, and has the responsibility to respond to the call for war of the Storm Court.
This announcement instantly caused a wave in the kingdom, and there was no way, it was too strange, and it made people dare not talk about anything at all.
First, when did this group of cultists who did not believe in the Titan God become the rebels of the kingdom? When did they voluntarily turn themselves in and accept the royal court's recruitment?
Originally, they were about to send troops to attack, and Lord Shenzun's Holy Sect Army was also going to encircle and arrest them, but they were suddenly stopped.
Who can stop the Holy Cult Army, everyone doesn't dare to think about this alone.
Second, instead of being arrested, the leader of the cultists became the rightful lord of the area!
Although she did not have any noble titles, and she did not have an identity record within the kingdom, she did become a real lord, but the fief was a little small, limited to that town and the twilight orchard next door.
A group of heretics who did not believe in the Titans were pardoned by the Titan God and pardoned by King Lane, and the reason for this was that all parties did not dare to continue to speculate, for fear that they would be burned if they knew too much.
Speaking of which, the Twilight Forest area is chaotic enough.
Except for the Nighttown Fortress, which is officially controlled by the kingdom, the rest of the area is full of dangers and mixed with fish and dragons.
Needless to say, the newly emerged Venianka lords are the most irrelevant group, and now that they have been recruited, they will probably not continue to be enemies of the kingdom.
In the valley of the southwestern region of the Twilight Forest, there is also a group of ogre tribes, which have been defended by virtue of the valley key pass, and they will not leave.
They were left over from the original attack of the orc tribe, and the ogres did not continue to follow the tribe north, but made the Twilight Forest their new home.
That's right, this is another orc buddy's pot, you say you can come, you have to bring a large number of ogres.
The ogre is a creature that belongs to the native race of the world of Draenor, and has been a servant vassal of the Goron giants, and even a role of food, until the rise of the orc tribe.
Then this group of big fat people mixed with the orc buddies and invaded the world of Azeroth together.
Now that the old tribe of orcs has fallen apart, and the old buddies of society have completely collapsed, this group of ogres and big fat people have begun to live a self-sufficient and free life again.
They scattered in a hurry, running everywhere, literally blooming all over the world of Azeroth.
So... It's you who you are, it's you! It's all because you orcs, it's not enough to come by yourself, but also to bring a group of alien invasive species, and you don't know how to protect ecology at all!
This group of tribes in the Twilight Forest is still relatively small, and they can't do anything other than attack the passing convoys along the way.
In addition to ogres, there is also a group of werewolves in the Twilight Forest that have appeared out of nowhere.
This is the end of the day, as these werewolves run through the gloomy forests, howling at the moon, coming and going without a trace, often attacking humans and even towns.
Boss Hu naturally knew that these werewolves were all creations of the Moon God Scythe.
This Titan Creation artifact, unconsciously condensed by the moon god Elune, was given to the most devout druids during the War of the Ancients, giving them the ability to transform into werewolf form.
The werewolf druids caused a great deal of damage to the Burning Legion, but side effects also followed.
Wildness has eroded their minds, making them murderous and ruthless, and eventually they will not even recognize their relatives and friends.
It stands to reason that the Luna Scythe shouldn't have such side effects, but based on the mysterious whispers spoken by the user, it can be concluded that the Scythe has been secretly corrupted by the Elder Gods while using it.
Eventually, the werewolf druids, led by Verinde Star Song, disappeared with the Luna Scythe and were never seen again, and no one knows where they went.
And now, the curse of the scythe has reappeared in the Twilight Forest region, and the plague of werewolves has also arrived.
Oh, and there are not only these threats in the colorful twilight forest, but also the westernmost Raven Ridge Necropolis.
As the largest cemetery in the Stormwind Kingdom, the number of dead buried here is too large to count, and now, rumors of the resurrection of the dead are also spreading.
However, no one had actually seen the spirits of the dead, and with the exception of a hermit named Abelcrombie who often went to mourn his deceased wife, the people of the surrounding area never dared to set foot in the Raven Ridge Necropolis again.
All in all, the Stormwind Kingdom is also a headache for the Twilight Forest region, and now the kingdom has no external troubles for the time being, but only a military confrontation with the Northern Alliance, and there are too many internal things to count.
The financial resources of the treasury had always been relatively tight, and King Lane and the Archduke of Berval were unwilling to increase the taxes of the people, so the economic situation has always been tight.
Therefore, for the support of the fortress of Night Town, the Storm King Court has always been a patchwork, picking a little here and pulling some there.
Ryan was a good king, no one could deny that, he could have shifted the burden to the people and allowed the treasury to fill up quickly, but he didn't, and neither did his queen Talia.
And the Countess Catlana Presto, who had recently begun her political career, made many valuable proposals and plans to King Lane and the Grand Duke of Berval.
It's just that this countess is very strange, she only attends the official king's meeting, and she can't be seen in informal meetings on weekdays, as if she deliberately avoided Boss Hu who was eating and drinking in Storm Fortress.
However, King Lane and the Grand Duke of Berval both valued this countess with excellent political ability, and began to ask her often what she thought, and this countess was extremely beautiful, with long black hair and black eyes that made people feel a strong exotic royal sister style.
King Ryan even joked that it would be okay to let the Grand Duke of Bolval marry her, which made Bolval blush.
There's no way, people always have needs, watching that enchanting and beautiful body twisting and walking in front of you, it's inevitable that you won't add some ideas.
On the other hand, Countess Catlana Presto always wanted to get in touch with the little prince Varian, but she never got her wish, because every time the little prince was called by the Titan God.
Boss Hu is naturally not in a hurry, after all, the days are still long, so let this popular countess jump for a while.
