Returning to Azeroth after more than eight months, most of the chess games he had played had developed, and Saljan prioritized them according to the priority of the situation.

The battle of Dunhold was looming, and the Sarean had to prioritize the matter.

Skirmishes in the Blackstone Tower also require a lot of attention, and Sarren has given Valera the task of keeping an eye on the situation as the elite thieves of the Backlight Blade keep an eye on the situation.

There are a number of other things that are worth keeping up with.

These include the activation of the Dark Gate, the classified information of the Scourge sent back by Kel'thugad from time to time, the unfinished war in the Howling Winds, the battle for the Lordaeron Deposit, and more.

Onexia wasn't just joking when he complained about Sarren's frenzy in his schedule, he did have a lot of things to deal with one by one, and even with the help of Stella Gosa and Valeera, it would take a lot of energy and time.

These are just the big things that matter to the situation in Azeroth, and there are other things that are a low priority that needs to be taken out of time.

For example, the invitation sent by the prophet Viren through Anasteria, the current situation of Egwen and Medivan, the search of Rasharazar of the Celestial Seat, the rescue of the soul of the wild boar demigod Agamagan, and so on.

[Words...... Is it really a bit too much for Xiao Sa to arrange for himself? 】

[No way, Azeroth is such a calamitous world, if you don't want everyone to send it together in the future, you can only lay out in advance and accumulate more vitality for this world as much as possible. 】

[Deal with it one by one, anyway, Xiaosa is an immortal species, and there is time. 】

[Salian has plenty of time, but the Burning Legion and the Old Gods can't wait that long, and they may jump out at any time to make trouble. 】

[Agree, it's good to have a sense of urgency, at least in the end, you won't be in a hurry.] 】

After a short vacation, Sarren left the territory early the next morning and teleported to Silvermoon City.

As is customary, he first went back to the Deepshadow family's mansion and met with Aunt Alyssa, who stayed at home to take care of the children.

The little guy named Gilbert is still growing up carefree.

With three large trees in the family, Salren, Julien, and Verles, sheltering from the elements, little Gil's childhood is sure to be more pleasant than that of the young Salren.

From Aunt Alyssa, Sareen obtained some information about Uncle Verles.

In the last year, the intensity of his work has not changed much, and he can clock out on time every day and go home for dinner with his wife and children.

However, due to the peculiarity of Backlight Blade's work, Velles will occasionally be called up in the middle of the night to deal with emergencies.

Since the Defense Intelligence Agency and Backlight Blade split their powers, some miscellaneous matters no longer need to be paid attention to by Backlight Blade at any time.

As the Sun King's direct intelligence agency, the Backlight Blade is now responsible for important matters that may affect the overall situation of Azeroth.

With Kael'thas's acquiescence, the Backlight Blade has been providing the necessary intelligence support for Sarren's operations on many occasions.

In return, these activities of the Sarean have really increased the influence and overall national power of Quel'Thalas.

The Battle of Alterac, which ended just last year, is a striking example.

Some people in the cabinet were wary of the Salian of the Holy Scroll, fearing that he would be pampered and arrogant, and gradually formed a trend of not falling off.

But looking at the benefits that Saljan brought back to Quel'Thalas, most people still wanted to believe that he was dedicated to the public, and only a few people, led by Darkan, were always wary of him.

As the number of cabinet officials gradually increased, it was inevitable that some factional disputes would arise due to political differences, and Darkan also took the opportunity to win over several colleagues with similar positions.

Kael'thas wasn't going to let his guard down on the old fox, and Darkan's every move was under the watchful eye of the Backlight Blade, and he didn't dare to go too far, at least not to form a gang and split the council as blatantly as before.

Under the covert control of Kael'thais, although there were often quarrels in the cabinet over government affairs, on the whole they tended to develop benignly.

Unlike the virtual monarchy mentioned in the barrage, the supreme ruler of Quel'Salas today is still the Sun King.

The power of the cabinet is to assist the Sun King in managing government affairs, and as long as Kael'thas himself does not nod, the government proposals submitted by the cabinet cannot be passed.

This mode of distribution of powers is more like the cabinet system of the Ming Dynasty in China mentioned in the barrage.

The elders of the cabinet are in high positions and have power in favor of the government and the opposition, but it is still the emperor who makes the final decision.

…… Of course, a few disgraceful emperors who were set aside by the cabinet should be excluded.

After mediating the dispute between the Anti-Lordaeron Alliance and the Kingdom of Lordaeron, Quel'Salas, which was jointly regarded as a neutral country by both sides, was once again elevated to international status.

Neither the Anti-Lordaeron Alliance nor the Lordaeron Kingdom wanted Quel'Thalas to fall to the other side completely.

Tyrenus, whose ambitions had suffered a huge blow, was once again bedridden, and in the last year he had rarely been involved in government, leaving most of the government affairs to the siblings Galia and Arthas.

Ever since Galia made it clear that she wanted to compete for the crown prince's position, Terenus, who loved Arthas, suppressed her in every way.

After peace talks with Alterac, the reputation of the Lord's and faction's Galia has skyrocketed, and it is no longer for Tyrenus, whose influence is declining, to be killed.

Nominally, the current king of Lordaeron is still Terenus Minahir, but the actual ruling power has fallen to Galia and Arthas, who have gathered a group of princely ministers who are willing to support them.

Arthas's political views differed from that of Galia, who advocated a strong co-optation of the High Elves to improve the strained relationship with Quel'Thalas.

Although Arthas was released early because Terenus fell ill again, he doesn't seem to have learned enough lessons from this period of confinement, and he still has a deep hostility towards Sarren, who "stole Gianna".

His hostility also extended to the entire High Elf race, and Arthas was adamantly opposed to giving in to Quel'Thalas, even clamoring for the use of force to let Quel'Thalas know how powerful Lordaeron was.

The personal relationship between the two siblings has not broken down due to political disagreements, and in private, the relationship between Alsace and Galia is still very good, and the two can be regarded as having a clear distinction between public and private.

Arthas and Galia represent the two factions of Lordaeron, respectively, and can be simply categorized as Eagle and Dove.

The two siblings each have a large number of clusters, and they are basically evenly matched.

According to Kael'thas, Lordaeron's political situation has been delicately balanced by the cooperation of the siblings, which just stabilized the mess left by Terenus and did not cause Lordaeron's national power to fall off a cliff.

"This situation is only temporary."

Kael'thas said to Sarjan firmly: "After all, Terenus is old, and his physical condition is not optimistic. ”

"A kingdom cannot be without a king for a day, and once Terenus dies, the battle for the throne will be completely hot."

"There can only be one person between Galia and Arthas, and sooner or later there will be a rift in their close cooperation."

Salian asked thoughtfully, "Your Majesty, do we need to take sides between the two heirs?" ”

Kael'thas shook his head: "Quel'Thalas will abide by the principle of non-interference in the internal affairs of other countries, and will not interfere in the competition between the two royal families, at least ...... There can be no bias on the bright side. ”

Sarjan's face suddenly changed: "I understand. ”

Kael'thas meant it obviously.

With the help of Sarren's matchmaking, Quel'Salas had already established a friendly bond with Princess Garia.

This connection cannot be made public, at least not until the outcome of the battle for the throne is known.

But that doesn't mean Quel'Salas really just watches from the sidelines.

It would obviously be in Quel's interest for Callia to ascend to the throne as queen, who had a more moderate stance towards the High Elves.

Quel'Salas will secretly help Princess Galia, and if she wins the competition, this kindness will surely be repaid in the future.

Even if Arthas wins "unexpectedly", Quel'Salas will be able to clear the relationship, and Galia will not blow up her shortcomings, and the connection with Quel'Thalas will only rot in her stomach.

"Judging by the status quo." Kael'thas smiled lightly and said, "Although this battle for the throne has been very seriously exaggerated by the princes and nobles in Lordaeron, in my opinion, it is just a political battle between doves and hawks. ”

"The rivalry between Arthas and Galia is on the benign side, and no matter who comes to power in the end, the one who loses should not be in danger of his life."

Salian nodded noncommittally: "Provided that Arthas's mentality doesn't change in the next few years." ’

'Scourge, Lich King...... I don't know if they'll ever have anything to do with Artace, so I'll see. ’
