Chapter 570: Stratholme Turmoil
Needless to say, the affairs of the territory have been away from Quel'Salas for more than a year, and the affairs in the territory have been handed over to his mother and father to help take care of them, and it is time to go back and take over again.
Previously, Carbonia had brought a letter home to Sarren, who was still recuperating in the city of Dala in New Shanda.
After the birth of the baby of Verles and Alisa, Uncle Verles, who has a strong sense of responsibility, soon returns to Backlight.
In the previous year, Julian had to take over the business of Villeres during the day, and at night he had to pay the public rations when he returned home.
According to Kael'thas, Julian lost a lot of weight during the year, and as soon as Verres returned, he immediately left his job and fled.
It's a joke to say that he is running away, Julian is just taking over the external affairs of Quel'Thalas, which he should have been in charge of.
Of the two brothers of the Deep Shadow Clan, Vellais was in charge of housekeeping, and he usually didn't leave the Eternal Song Forest except in the case of a special circumstance such as the Battle of the Quicksands.
And Julian specializes in complex external affairs, and where there are hard bones to gnaw, Julian will appear.
After marrying Yinnath, Julian's work gradually shifted towards investigating the Old Gods.
The same is true for his mission this time, and it is said that he has caught clues related to the new Dream Demon King.
"New Dream Demon King ......"
Hearing the name, Sarren's Tong Kong shrank suddenly.
Kael'thas nodded with a serious expression: "Yes, I was also surprised when I heard you mention this name before. ”
"Is this a coincidence? Or is it inevitable? It is not known for the time being. ”
"Two pieces of information related to the new Dream Demon King have been found in succession, indicating that the guy who is not in the right place for the time being can't hold back his desire to make trouble."
"Hmm......" Sarian bowed his head and muttered for a moment, "I'll leave the investigation of the New Dream Demon King to my father for the time being, I'm sure he can find out some clues." ”
"As for the mother......"
Sarian rubbed his temples with a headache: "Looking for inspiration, I don't know when she will break through the bottleneck." ”
In order to solve the fertility problem of dragons and high elves, Yin Nasi has been engaged in research for more than a year.
Unfortunately, this kind of major problem involving the origin of life is not so easy to solve.
Yin Nasi's research unsurprisingly fell into a bottleneck, and she couldn't find an opportunity to solve the problem for a long time.
Seeing that Yin Nasi's temper was getting more and more irritable after her research, Julian suggested that she go out with her to relax and maybe get inspiration from what she saw and heard during her travels.
Anyway, she couldn't find a research direction for the time being, so Yinas took her husband's advice and left Quel'Salas with him.
Before leaving, Yin Nasi handed over the responsibility of managing her son's territory to Alyssa, who had finished confinement.
What? Milk child?
With the status of the Deep Shadow family, where there is a need for Alyssa to come out in person, there will naturally be a nurse in charge.
Besides, the development of Salian's territory has long been regular, and there is no need for Alyssa to take care of it at any time, as long as it doesn't cause chaos.
The hard-working Kael'thas doesn't have a break at night, and after the conversation with Sarren, he has to stay in his study and continue to work overtime.
Returning to the Hall of Interviews, they found Valera and the others who had returned from shopping, and through the portal opened by the Royal Arcanist, the group returned directly to the Deep Shadow County in the south of the forest.
After returning to the Lord's Palace, Saray did not rest immediately.
After greeting the surprise realm officials, Salian arrived at his lord's office with a few people who had not been seen for a long time.
During her debriefing, Valera heard some news from her neighbor to the south of Quel'Salas, the kingdom of Lordaeron.
"It's a mess."
Sarjan had heard from Carbonia about the chaos in Stratholme, and with the details provided by the Backlight Blade Headquarters, Saljan had a deeper understanding of the causes and current situation of the chaos.
Lordaeron is a vast country, and their territory spans many regions in the northern part of the Eastern Continent.
Due to the location of the Intramural in the Tirisfar, Lordaeron has relatively little control over the distant region of Stratholm and relies on the priests of the Chapel of the Light's Wish to help exert influence.
Due to the moss trolls making trouble, the connection between the Chapel of Light's Wish and Stratholme has been severed.
Baron Rivendell, who was in the city of Stratholme, was anxious, and he began to worry that the king would doubt the loyalty of the officials of Stratholme who had lost contact with the Chapel of the Light's Wish.
The best way to get out of the predicament is to fight off the rotten moss trolls who stand in your way.
However, Baron Rivendell is bitter, to be precise...... I dare not say.
As the largest city in Eastern Tirisfa, Stratholm should have a lot of food in stock, and it wouldn't be a problem to take down a group of rotten moss trolls who stood in the way.
However, in fact, Stratholme's granary caught fire one night more than half a month ago, and most of the granary was burned to the ground.
Baron Rivendell, who rushed to hear the news, didn't even have time to put on his armor, and personally went into battle to direct the firefighting, but in the end, he only rescued the grain and grass that could barely feed the people of a city, and did not dare to send troops to suppress the bandits.
In order to avoid being questioned by King Terenus, Baron Rivendell suppressed the matter and did not allow anyone to divulge the news.
When the order to suppress the bandits came from the royal city of Lordaeron, Baron Rivendell scratched his ears and cheeks in a hurry.
At this time, an aide stepped forward and gave him an idea - to lead the trouble.
Later, as Carbonia said, Terenus, who had no liking for the High Elves, accepted Rivendell's proposal and commanded Quel'Salas to send troops to help suppress the bandits.
This order was rightfully rejected by Kael'thas and the Silvermoon Council, and Kael'thas even wrote a letter to Terenus himself, sneering at him to identify himself.
Quel'Thalas is not a vassal state of Lordaeron and has long since withdrawn from the alliance, and the kingdom of Lordaeron has no right to order Quel'Thalas to do anything.
Leaving aside the thunderous Tyrenus, Baron Rivendell, who had no reinforcements, planned to continue to delay the matter, wanting to delay until after the spring grain harvest before sending troops.
After 11 years of entering the Dark Gate, seeing that no one has been hindered, the scope of the rotten moss trolls is getting bigger and bigger, and it has the intention of taking the opportunity to expand the territory.
To the west, the Quellins Hut and Salas' Gate are guarded by High Elf soldiers, and the Moss Trolls don't want to provoke them.
From Zumashal, the Moss Trolls made their way south along the North Valley, stopping in front of the East Wall watchtower guarding the Chapel of Light's Wish.
For the first time, he was beaten to the door by the trolls, and the Chapel of the Wish of Light was full of chickens and dogs.
Angry with the priests, they sent the news back to King Lordaeron, and a furious Terenus finally found a punching bag, sent an envoy to Stratholme to face Baron Rieldell, and ordered him to immediately send troops to fight off the moss trolls.
Fearing that he would find Stratholme empty, Baron Rivendell feared that he would find out that Stratholme was empty, so he could only lead the army to the expedition and take most of the remaining food in the city with him.
What if there is no food? Trouble.
Stratholme is also a big city, and it stands to reason that there will be no famine.
But it just happened.
The Baroness Annastali who remained behind tried to appease the angry populace of the city, reassuring them that she would hold out a little longer and wait for the harvest to meet the city's food needs.
However, the hungry populace ignored the Baroness's painting of the Void Pie, and they angrily stormed the town hall and the Lord's Palace, and the whole city of Stratholme was in chaos.
Apparently unaware of such unrest, Terenus's envoy fled the city in panic and prepared to return to the royal city of Lordaeron to inform King Terenus of the incident.
Bizarre things happened again, the envoy was killed by an unknown person on the way back, and the news of the turmoil in Stratholm did not reach the royal city of Lordaeron in the first place, and the situation intensified.
The Backlight Blade Headquarters had been closely monitoring the situation, and Vellais had seen some clues from the bizarre events that had occurred one after another.
After listening to Sarena's description, Stellagosa frowned and asked, "Is this someone fanning behind your back?" ”
"Ha~" Onexia sneered: "Isn't this obvious? Now we should be thinking about whether to help? What can we gain from this crisis? ”
