Quel'Salas and Lordaeron are directly bordered, and there will inevitably be some friction between neighbors.

Quel'Salas remained restrained and wanted to properly manage the differences between him and Lordaeron, but the other party did not think so, and was repeatedly aggressive.

Kael'thas himself is a good-natured man, but as the king of a nation, he can't be too soft to the outside.

After many fruitless negotiations, Kael'thas gave up his illusion of living in peace with Lordaeron, and took the opportunity of this reform to officially enter a state of full-scale competition with Lordaeron.

In the eyes of the High Elves, Quel'Thalas's foreign policy is all about reactive counter-attacks.

But this was not the case at all in Lordaeron's opinion, and this time the black cauldron of Terenus's illness was also held on Quel'Thalas's head.

Many of the people of Lordaeron believe that it was the "rumors" spread by the newspapers that spread everywhere that infuriated Tyrenus.

Rumor! It must be a rumor!

How could the wise and powerful King Terenus be so easily deceived by demons? The damn High Elves must be trying to slander me with this!

However, whether it is a rumor or not, the leaders of various countries have a scale in their hearts.

Terenus himself knew this, and it was precisely because he knew that his image might plummet in the international arena that he provoked the heart-spurting blood to fall ill.

The civilian official group led by the prime minister wanted to temporarily reduce the conflict between the two countries before Terenas's body recovered, but who knew that the prince of Arthas suddenly stepped on the accelerator to the end.

When the live-fire drill incident reaches the royal city of Lordaeron, and the new and old hatreds are combined, what decision will the strong-blooded Arthas make...... Salian didn't dare to guarantee it.

It can only be said that there is indeed a risk of war.

The first batch of ships delivered by Kurtilas is five, the second batch of five ships is still in the process of being handed over, and the third batch of eight ships will not be available until three months later.

After calculating the gains and losses, Sarlian planned to solve the scabies disease in the East China Sea as soon as possible, and evacuated all ten warships to the west bank of the Yongge Forest to prevent a sudden attack by the Lordaeron North Sea Fleet.

Safety in the East China Sea?

Just three medium-sized warships with not strong firepower don't need to spend much energy on it at all.

The Giant Eagle Knights stationed at Sunmark Peak can go south at any time, and the air force alone can easily eliminate them.

After the first round of test firing, Berriman did not hesitate to order the fleet to open all the gun doors and fire a volley into the sea.

The range and velocity of the projectiles far exceeded the range and velocity of the solid shells, and Westwin's face turned pale, and he hurriedly ordered the fleet to turn around and flee in the direction of the harbor.

"Oh! The enemy has retreated! ”

"The Navy is mighty! Long live His Majesty Kael'thas! ”

Seeing that the Lordaeron ship that had been threatening the port of Zuaman for more than half a month turned around and fled, the originally lifeless dock became jubilant.

"I remember!"

One of the workers was surprised to point to Sarren, who was standing straight on the beach.

"He's the Deepshadow Earl of Unicorn Town! My wife's second uncle's son-in-law's son-in-law works as a servant in Unicorn Town, which is said to be the best aristocratic territory for commoners in the entire Yongge Forest! ”

"What? That is the legendary Little Earl of Deep Shadow? No wonder it's so magnificent! ”

"I heard that he returned from an envoy to Kurtilas not long ago, and that he personally dug up the five galleons at sea from His Majesty Dalin."

"Your news is outdated, and the little Earl of Deep Shadow later went to Dalaran to forgive Archmage Modra, who had slandered the High Elf race, on behalf of His Majesty Kael'thas, and further strengthened the relationship with Dalaran."

"You can see the active figure of the little Deep Shadow Count everywhere, I didn't expect that I could actually see him with my own eyes."

After the withdrawal of the Lordaeron fleet, Salian asked Lothima to issue the flag, and Berriman turned around and returned to the west coast, ready to take over the second batch of ships delivered by Kurtilas.

At the same time, Sarjan took advantage of the decision given by Kael'thas and sent people to Sunmark Peak to order the Knights of the Giant Eagle to send a flying group to temporarily garrison the port of Zuaman.

After dealing with the follow-up arrangements, Sarayan turned around and waved to the workers at the port, which ushered in a wave of more enthusiastic cheers.

As Unicorn Town's reputation grows, the High Elves living in the southern part of the forest hope to one day move to Sarean's territory.

It's a pity that after the lords in various places have strengthened their precautions against fugitives in their respective territories, it is not so easy to exploit loopholes.

Even so, it is also a good choice to work under the little Earl of Deep Shadow, and maybe he can be promoted by this old man in the emperor's heart because of his excellent work ability.

From the moment he entered the port of Zuaman, Salian did not give any kind of speech, like other noble lords, but showed his attitude with practical actions.

Severely punish the Drayhart family managers who took the lead in fishing, so that the hearts of those workers who have no intention of working are terrified.

Then he gave a strong order, and the Offshore Fleet, which had not yet been renamed, scared off the invincible Lordaeron ships and relieved the workers' safety concerns.

LeBlanc watched all of Sarren's movements throughout the whole process, and his eyes were full of amazement.

Taking the lead with practical actions is obviously more down-to-earth than those fake speeches.

When the dust settled, a gorgeously dressed and senile High Elf old man was late.

"Deep ...... Deep Shadow ...... Whew~ Earl Deep Shadow, sorry...... I'm late. ”

This chubby old lady is the current head of the Drayhart family, the Lady Drayhart with the title of viscount.

Interestingly, the Earl can actually be included in the category of the Lord.

However, most people call Saljan Count Deepshadow, and prefer to call Verreth Lord Deepshadow.

Excluding princely titles that are basically impossible to confer on foreign peoples, the duke is the apex of all nobles, a unique high noble.

Marquis and Earls below the Duke were called middle nobles, while viscounts and barons were lower nobles.

At the beginning, due to the strong opposition of the old aristocracy, none of the nobles who had been awarded meritorious services in the battle of trolls won the title of duke, and the highest was the marquis.

After two generations, the few marquis were demoted to viscounts, and were re-elevated to earls when Kael'thas ascended the throne.

Counting the two earls of the Deep Shadow Family, there are only 5 counts in the entire noble group.

In the eyes of many in the noble community, Sarren, who had performed meritorious deeds and was highly valued by the Sun King, was made a marquis...... Even the duke is only a matter of time.

Led by several hardcore royal families such as Sangunar, many noble families have fallen to Saray in advance, and the entire noble group has a tendency to be headed by this little Earl of Deep Shadow.

Sarjan had previously learned about Lady Dreyhart through Viscount Sangunar.

This nearly 3,000-year-old fox is an out-and-out wall-to-wall grass, and the wind blows on both sides.

The neutrals pushed her out for a clear purpose, that is, they wanted to use the construction of the port of Zuaman to test the bottom line of Sarean, and it was best to force him and the Sun King behind him to give up the decision to support the commoners and suppress the nobles.

In Sarren's opinion, these nobles, who were gradually corrupted by power and too far from the core of Quel'Thalas, had not yet put themselves in their place.

That's right, the decision to support the common people was indeed made by the Sun King Kael'thas himself.

But the fact that this decision was voted on by the cabinet is enough to show that there are not a few high-ranking people who agree with Kael'thas decision.

If it was just the Sun King who insisted on going his own way, Darkan would have taken the opportunity to jump out and once again serve as the opinion leader of the aristocratic class and regain his former glory.

Is Darkan stupid?

Certainly not stupid.

He did not take this opportunity to jump out and die, precisely because this old fox in the political arena saw the trend of the situation clearly and knew that the general trend was inviolable.

The aristocratic families who received elite education since childhood, even if they cannot cultivate people who are geniuses, their vision is far above that of commoners who do not have access to higher knowledge and education.

The ills of Quel'Thalas's polity accumulated over the years were seen by the aristocracy.

But everyone is grabbing food in this bowl, and if they make a rash change and kick the basin over, no one can afford to pay this responsibility.

This also includes the largest aristocratic family of the Sunstriders of Quel'Thalas.

After Anastria overthrew the four nobles, it took the opportunity to kill all the old nobles with rigid thinking of the older generation, leaving most of the younger generation of Kael'thas who were more receptive to new ideas.

Since the Second Orc War, Azeroth has faced many external and internal troubles, and Quel'Thallas has reached the point where he has to change.

It was in this particular context that Kael'thas was able to secure the support of a majority of the Cabinet's votes for his reforms, which supported the civilian population.

"Lady Drayhart."

On the surface, Saljan smiled and greeted the lady with a cane, but there was no smile in his eyes, and the sharp eyes made the old lady who was good at seeing the situation on both sides a little frightened.

"This is your first temptation, and I assure you, the absolute and last."

"If the Intelligence Agency's Internal Affairs Department finds even the slightest hint of ......"

"Humph!!"

Sarren's cold snort seemed to explode directly in the old lady's mind, making her tremble under her feet, and she almost sat down on the ground on the spot under the shock of Long Wei, gritting her teeth and holding on to the crutches so that she didn't make a fool of herself in front of people.

"Don't be unpredictable."
