"What did you say?" Richard was stunned for a moment when he heard Vasqui's words, humans and orcs make friends, and it seems that this situation can only happen to Thrall......

Vaschi smiled mysteriously, "This one who has made friends with orcs is still a lord. ”

"Lord?"

"You've mentioned him before. ”

Hearing Vaschi's prompt, a candidate suddenly appeared in Richard's mind: "Could it be Tirio Fortin?"

Vasqi nodded: "That's him." The consul of the Hearthburg, Tirio Fortin. According to the tip, the paladin lord found an orc near his territory, and during the duel between the two, the house collapsed, and the orc saved his life, and the latter two became friends because they valued honor the same, which is really interesting, the paladin was able to make friends with the creatures they defined as evil. I hadn't paid much attention to this paladin when you talked to me about her before, but now I'm very interested in him. ”

Richard smiled: "Fording is a real paladin, completely different from those second- and third-generation paladins now. ”

"Is it possible for us to win him over, then?"

"Fight?"

"Taking advantage of the fact that he is friendly with the orcs this time, the Knights' trigger for communication between humans and orcs is still quite serious. ”

Richard shook his head: "There is no such possibility, don't worry about it." I'll go to the Hearthburg for a few days, and Kozan will leave it to you. ”

"Don't worry. Sending Richard away, Vaschi fiddled with his fingers, there was no way, there was such a good opportunity to have to give it a try, Vaschi wrote a secret letter to the eyeliner of the fireplace, and quietly sent it out.

And Richard didn't know all this, and even if he knew, he wouldn't stop it, although he knew very well that Fordin would not join Richard's side. Now Richard was riding on Onexia's back and looking at the map. Tirio Fording is located in a wooded area between the only Alterac Mountains in Firecastle and the beautiful Lake Daron Mill. Tirio Fordin was elected Consul here as a paladin, and for his justice and benevolence, Fordin's fame spread throughout Lordaeron. At the same time, as the first batch of paladins, Fortin's combat ability is also extremely strong, and at the height of the Orc War, the Fireplace Castle has never been captured by the Orcs. Even so, the people there were nervous about the sights of orcs.

Just a few weeks ago, the patrol spotted traces of an orc fire in the forest outside of Fort Hearth, which immediately alerted Fordin. In recent months, the activities of the orcs have become more and more frequent. Since they captured Dunhold, no concentration camp has been able to stop them, the orcs have been overwhelming, wreaking havoc all over the north, liberating one concentration camp after another, the alliance has organized several encirclements and suppressions, but it has no effect, and now traces of the orcs have been found nearby, and the war is likely to come to Fort Hearth.

Fordin is good at war, but he doesn't like war, and in the last orc war, the human kingdom lost many young soldiers, some of them were fathers of children, husbands of wives, children of parents...... Even Lothar, who was also a teacher and friend of Fordin, and Tulayan, a friend of the same group of knights, left him. After the end of the war, the alliance set up a concentration camp called the asylum, to prevent trouble, Fording never expressed an opinion on this, but the Paladins had mixed reviews about it, most of them thought it was a good thing, but some radicals have been claiming that those orcs should be exterminated, and now the orcs are once again bringing the hidden danger of war to humanity, which gives the radicals in the Paladins an excuse to criticize the conservatives. Although Fording is worried that this will bring certain hidden dangers to the Knights, the current orc crisis is more important.

But just as Fordin prepares to properly solve the orc crisis, a former friend shatters the peace. After the last conversation with his orc friends, there was no trace of the orcs around the Hearthburg, and Fording had agreed with the old orc that he would not take action as long as he did not approach the human town. There was no trace, and the orc's threatening rhetoric had subsided, and the much more relaxed Ferdin, who had reverted to his role as the town manager, had gained some leisure. It's just that these jobs are a bit single and tiresome for him, and some bureaucratic office work is conducive to him not thinking about the old orcs for a while, and their destined encounters. He spends all the private time he can find with his son and wife. Surprisingly, the wife seemed to have forgotten their quarrel the night before. She was in a good mood as she always was, and didn't start talking about orcs again. Fording is thankful for the peace. Just over the past week, he's been excited and dangerous.

Thinking of this, Ferding sat on the balcony leisurely, looking at the sun hanging high in the blue sky, overlooking the people coming and going in his own territory, and occasionally looking back at his own children who were practicing at least, and watching the happy scene of their mother and child, he was also very happy.

After a while, his captain found him.

"My lord, I'm looking for you everywhere. The captain tried to breathe as calmly as he could, "There's a guest coming from the castle!"

"Guest, what guest?" Furding suddenly became nervous, and at this moment, Furding felt scared, could it be that the matter between himself and the old orc had been discovered?

"Your Excellency, the envoy from Stratholme, the High Lord Dathohan and his entire convoy. He wants to talk to you right away. ”

Dasohan Fordin's eyes widened suddenly. Why did the High Lord come here? This High Lord Da Sohan could not help but be the direct leader of Fordin, and a good friend who entered the Holy Knights at the same time as Fordin. In addition to being an excellent leader, he is also a warrior who values honor. During the war, both he and Ferding saved each other's lives. But the two friends hadn't seen each other in years. Why would the Great Lord venture to come from the capital of the province without notice, and with such a large escort army? Dassohan knew about the orcs? That was the only explanation for his visit, Fordin concluded. He knew it must have been his damned lieutenant, Bathras, who had informed the High Lord of his recent meeting with the orcs. Fording took a deep breath and settled. He patted his captain on the shoulder comfortingly, glanced at his wife and son below, and strode out in the direction of the main gate.

But what Fording didn't know was that Basselas was the eyeliner that was bought by Vasqui......
