Chapter 689 Today's weather is good, promote a marquis first
As the war between Lordaeron and Alterac entered its third month, the inhabitants of the Eastern Kingdoms, who had been following the matter, finally heard good news.
The peace talks between Lordaeron and the Anti-Lordaeron Alliance will be hosted by neutral Quil Salas, and all participating parties will send representatives to Silvermoon City to attend the meeting.
As the facilitator behind the peace talks, it is difficult for Sarayan to make his exploits public, but the top Quel'Thalas, including Kael'thas, are clear about his outstanding contributions to this incident.
After receiving Daniel's report, Garrard, the director of Defense Intelligence, jokingly mentioned that Count Deepshadow was afraid that he was forced to betray Hue during this mission.
Gallard's "humorous" speech sparked a wave of gossip at the top of Quel'Thalas, which in turn drew a death stare from Saljan.
However, it can also be seen from this that the high-ranking officials of Quel'Salas at this time are in a relaxed mood, and they are also in the mood to joke about Sarren's "romantic affairs".
In fact, this gossip rumor is completely false.
It's a pity that Sarren's protest didn't have any effect, and I don't know which bastard couldn't keep his mouth shut and revealed some unconcealed information to the people.
Rumors about Count Sarjan Deepshadow's affair in Lordaeron became more and more outrageous, and soon reached the ears of Valera and others, who were still waiting for Salajan's return in the territory.
"Hahahaha!"
As an expert at spreading rumors and having fun, Onexia saw at a glance the fatal flaw in this rumor.
But the berserk who waited to see the show didn't intend to tell Valera and Stella Goussa the truth.
When Saljan yawned and returned home from Silvermoon City, he was greeted by Valera and Stella Gossa in the shape of a teapot with their waists crossed and in a three-hall posture.
Oh yes, and Onyxia and Tina Gousa on the sidelines.
It is said that a cry of grief and indignation was heard from the lord's mansion in the county that night.
"Garad Shatterstar! I'm so close to you!
”
……
Not to mention a certain earl who was tried at home.
Sarean's exploits this time cannot be disclosed, but Kael'thas does not intend to disadvantage his hardcore friends who have always been loyal to him and Quel'Salas.
When Liadline returned from Northrend with the Morning Striker, Kael'thas suddenly recounted the old story and personally honored the many men who had performed their services at the Battle of Northrend.
Taking this opportunity, Kael'thas, who received the tacit approval of the cabinet, took the opportunity to praise Count Saljan Deepshadow for his outstanding performance in the Battle of Northrend, and promoted him to the rank of Marquis.
This commendation naturally aroused the dissatisfaction of a large number of small and medium-sized nobles, but the high-ranking nobles who knew the inside story tacitly kept silent about the matter and did not express any opinions.
After all, this was the reward that Saljan deserved, and Kael'thas just gave it to him for another reason.
The Morning Striker returned a little later than expected, mainly because Liadline was training a group of Paladin recruits who were more adapted to the local environment.
When a new marquis finally settled the disputes at home, he jokingly called these Chenfeng recruits polar paladins.
Although it sounds like a joke, this title is indeed very much in line with the positioning of the paladins who stayed on the Arctic continent, and many people have also begun to call the Morning Striker Knights of New Shandara as polar paladins.
Liadline brought back only about half of the Morning Striker soldiers, and except for the heroic martyrs who died on the battlefield of Northrend, the rest of the veterans who had experienced blood and fire were left behind in New Sandala to bring the old to the new.
In the days when Liadline first returned, representatives of the major nobles took turns to congratulate her, which made Liadline very annoyed.
After switching to the Paladin and truly finding her own direction in life, Liadline hopes to race against time to improve the combat effectiveness of herself and the Morning Striker Legion, and contribute to her homeland, not wanting to waste time on these meaningless greetings.
After a short week of repairs in Silvermoon City, she left Silvermoon City silently under the pretext that she still had military affairs with her, and hid in the Chenfeng military camp that had been deserted for a long time.
It is said that Liadeline's old father was very pleased with his daughter's achievements, and planned to pass on his family's earl title to her in advance, so that he could live in peace for the rest of his life.
When Sarren took the time to come to the Morning Striker barracks, he congratulated Liadline, who was about to receive the title of countess, about to take the matter.
When Sarren first met Liadrin, the priestess had a gentle temperament, a bit like an angel in white.
After many major battles, she often fights with the enemy on the battlefield, she has a lot of heroic and evil spirit, and her temperament has changed very much.
Glaring at the smiling Sarren angrily, Liadline complained mercilessly: "You and Shiva are running fast, leaving me alone to guard the Crystal Song Forest, it's too unconscionable." ”
Salian smiled and shrugged: "It doesn't make a difference who stays, anyway, there is no overt war in Northrend during this time." ”
"Heh~" Liadelin's face showed a meaningful look: "Indeed, Northrend has barely been calm recently. ”
"With the exception of the Viku people of Howling Fjord, who are still fighting in Utgard Castle, the original battlefields have been calmed down."
"But ......"
Liadline stared at Salaan with blazing eyes, "You already saw it, didn't you?" The peace of the present is only the calm before the storm, and there is always an undercurrent surging in the land of Northrend. ”
Salian nodded slightly: "The battlefield is really a good place to train people, and your overall view has grown a lot. ”
As Liadeline said, the peace in Northrend was only superficial, and the major powers were careful to maintain this short and fragile period of peace.
Leaving aside the looming Lich King, the native forces of Northrend are secretly planning their own plans.
According to first-hand information from the Kurtiras Marines besieging Utgard Castle, the Dragonraiders led by the ancient Viku king Yin Miron had already gained the upper hand in the civil war, and it was only a matter of time before they achieved final victory.
Once Yoon Milon subdues the internal opposition, the second round of the fight between Kurtilas and the Dragonsraiders will be on the agenda.
The outcome of this battle will determine the ownership of Howling Fjord.
After a "dance" with Quel'Thalas, Malak, the Frost Lord of Zudak, had to reassess the High Elves' prowess and no longer easily trust the instigation of the Zendalar Emissary.
And, as Quel'Thalas's diplomatic envoy had said, the Titans of the Stormcrags to the north had always had their eye on the flesh creatures.
Having fought against Lorcan's Iron Army, the Dhaka Trolls know how difficult these Tin Monsters can be.
After the High Elves offered an olive branch, Malak agreed to their proposal, using the Iron Legion of Stormcrags as the main object of defense.
However, Malak is still a thief, he does not want to have a military conflict with Quel'Thalas head-on, but he frequently makes small moves in the Far East region bordering the Grizzly Hills, clearly trying to pick soft persimmons.
Considering Quel'Thalas' reaction and the threat of the Iron Legion further north, Dhaka's trolls did not have many troops to invade Grizzly Hills, and they could only make small moves in secret.
Compared to the High Elves, who are powerful in combat, the Grizzly-throated Bear is seen by the Dhakalai Trolls as a relatively easy soft persimmon to deal with.
But it's only relative.
Grizzly-throated bears have been fighting the Dhakarai trolls for thousands of years, and both know each other well.
The tug-and-go between the two sides in the northeastern part of the Grizzly Hills will continue, and there is no telling when enough animosity will accumulate for a full-scale conflict to erupt again.
On top of that, there has been some movement in Northrend's underground recently.
Sarren had deliberately explored when he was still in Northrend, and the Nilubu Bugs, who had established their kingdom underground, had always wanted to return to the surface and expand the living space of the tribe.
However, according to the recent information from the elite thieves of the Backlight Blade who infiltrated Eldraine Nilub to gather information, the Nilub Zerg's intentions to attack the ground are gradually waning, and there seems to be something wrong within their group, and they are not flawless.
On the other hand, the Night Elf pioneers who landed in the Borean tundra and drove all the way into the Soracha Basin also encountered some minor problems.
First of all, the sea transport route from Kalimdor mainland to Northrend has been plagued by Naga.
Although there is the help of the water elemental of Haidahya, it is not a solution for the supply line to be attacked for a long time, and the problem of Naga attack must be solved as soon as possible.
The second is that since the local and external areas of the Soracha Basin are different from the outside world, it is not the turn of Saryan to put the beak, and the night elves Druyin will naturally deal with it.
"Naga ......"
Hearing the term from Liadrin's mouth for the first time in a long time, Sarren's eyes narrowed slightly.
"Queen Azhara kept her promise and didn't let the Naga attack the land again after the deal was made."
"As for the Night Elves' maritime transport...... Let them slowly get rid of the headache, and find something to do for them, and it will be regarded as a training exercise at sea. ”
