Needless to say, the affairs of the territory. Sarlayan has been away from Quel'Thalas for more than a year, and the affairs in the territory have been left to his mother and father to help take care of them. It is time to go back and take over again.
Calpurnia had previously brought a letter home to Sarlayan, who was still training in New Sundara City.
After the birth of the child of Verles and Alyssa, Uncle Verles, who had a strong sense of responsibility, quickly returned to the Backlight Blade.
In the previous year, Julian had to handle official duties on behalf of Villes during the day, and when he returned home at night, he had to pay the official rations without hesitation.
According to Kaelsas, Julian lost a lot of weight during the year, and as soon as Villes came back, he immediately left his job and ran away.
He was actually joking about running away. Julian just took over the external affairs of Quel'Thalas that he should have been responsible for.
Among the two brothers of the Deep Shadow Clan, Verles is in charge of internal affairs. Unless he encounters special circumstances such as the Battle of Quicksand, he usually will not leave Yongsong Forest.
And Julian specializes in complex external affairs. Wherever there is a hard nut to crack, Julian will appear there.
After marrying Inas, Julian's work gradually focused on investigating the ancient gods.
The same goes for his mission this time. It is said that he caught clues related to the new Nightmare King.
"New Nightmare King..."
Upon hearing this name, Sarlayan's pupils suddenly shrank.
Kael'thas nodded with a serious expression: "Yes, I was surprised when I heard you mention this name before."
"Is this a coincidence? Or is it inevitable? We don't know yet."
"The discovery of information related to the new Nightmare King in two consecutive places shows that the guy whose identity is currently unknown can no longer restrain his desire to cause trouble."
"Well..." Sarlayan lowered his head and pondered for a moment: "Leave the investigation of the new Nightmare King to my father for the time being. I believe he can find some clues."
"As for mother..."
Sarlayan rubbed his temples with a headache: "Are you looking for inspiration? I don't know when she will break through the bottleneck."
In order to solve the fertility problem between dragons and high elves, Inas has been busy doing research for more than a year.
Unfortunately, this major issue involving the origin of life is not so easy to solve.
Unsurprisingly, Inas's research hit a bottleneck, and she couldn't find an opportunity to solve the problem for a long time.
Seeing that her research is not going well, Inas's temper is getting more and more irritable. Julian proposes that she go out with him to collect information, relax her mind, and maybe get inspiration from what she sees during her travels.
Since she couldn't find a research direction for the time being anyway, Inas took her husband's advice and left Quel'Thalas with him.
Before leaving, Inas handed over the responsibility of taking care of her son's territory to Alyssa, who had finished her confinement.
What? Milk baby?
With the status of the Shenying family, wherever Alyssa needs to take action personally, the nanny will naturally be responsible.
Moreover, the development of Sarlayan's territory has long been on track, and Alyssa does not need to take care of it at all times, as long as there is no trouble.
Kael'thas, who was working so hard, had no rest at night. After the conversation with Sharlayan, he had to stay in the study and continue to work overtime.
Returning to the audience hall, they found Valeera and others who had returned from shopping. Through the portal opened by the Royal Arcanist, the group returned directly to the Earl of Deep Shadow in the southern part of the forest.
After returning to the Lord's Mansion, Sarlayan did not rest immediately.
After greeting the surprised territorial officials, Sarlayan took several people to his lord's office after a long absence.
During the reporting process, Valeera learned some news from Quel'Thalas' southern neighbor, the Kingdom of Lordaeron.
"It's really a mess."
Sarlayan had previously heard from Calpurnia that the Stratholme region was in chaos, and with the detailed information provided by the Backlight Blade headquarters, Sarlayan had a deeper understanding of the cause and current situation of the chaos.
Lordaeron has a vast territory, and their territory spans many areas in the northern part of the Eastern Continent.
Since the royal city is located in Tirisfal Glades, Lordaeron has relatively weak control over the distant Stratholme region, and needs to rely on the priests of the Light's Hope Chapel to help exert influence.
The connection between Light's Hope Chapel and Stratholme was cut off due to the Mossrotten Trolls' attacks.
Baron Rivendell, who was sitting in Stratholme City, was very anxious. Under the instigation of some people, he began to worry that the king would doubt the loyalty of Stratholme officials who had lost contact with the Light's Hope Chapel.
The best way to get out of this predicament is to fight off the Moss Trolls blocking your way.
However, Baron Rivendell was having troubles that he couldn't tell. To be precise... he didn't dare to say.
As the largest city in East Tirisfal, Stratholme City should have abundant food reserves, so it would not be a problem to destroy a group of moss-rot trolls blocking the way.
However, in fact, Stratholme's granary caught fire inexplicably one night more than half a month ago, and most of the granary was burned to the ground.
Baron Rivendell, who came after hearing the news, didn't even have time to put on his armor and personally went into battle to direct the fire fighting. However, in the end, he only managed to save enough food and grass for the people of the city and did not dare to send troops to suppress the bandits.
In order to avoid being questioned by King Terenas, Baron Rivendell suppressed the matter and did not let anyone leak the information.
When the Royal City of Lordaeron sent an order to suppress bandits, Baron Rivendell was so anxious that he scratched his head and scratched his head.
At this time, an aide stood up and gave him an idea - to divert the disaster to the east.
Then, just as Calpurnia said, Terenas, who had no good impression of the high elves, accepted Rivendell's suggestion and ordered Quel'Thalas to send troops to help suppress the bandits in a superior manner.
This order was naturally rejected by Kael'thas and the Silvermoon Council. Kael'thas even wrote a letter to Terenas himself, making some sarcasm in the letter to let him know his identity.
Quel'Thalas is not a vassal country of Lordaeron and has already withdrawn from the Alliance. The Kingdom of Lordaeron has no right to order Quel'Thalas to do anything.
Not to mention the furious Terenas, Baron Rivendell, who had no reinforcements, planned to drag this matter out until the spring harvest, before sending out troops.
Eleven years after entering the Dark Portal, no one has been able to stop them. The scope of activities of the Moss Rotten Trolls is getting larger and larger, and they are likely to take advantage of the opportunity to expand their territory.
Elite soldiers of the high elves are stationed at Quel'lins Hut and the Gate of Thalas to the west, and the Moss Rotten Troll does not want to provoke them.
Starting from Zumashal, the moss-rot trolls went south along the north valley, and did not stop until they attacked the east wall guard tower guarding the Light's Hope Chapel.
For the first time, the trolls attacked the door, and the Holy Light's Hope Chapel was in a state of panic.
The angry priests sent people to report the matter back to the Royal City of Lordaeron. Terenas, who was still angry, finally found a punching bag and sent an envoy to Stratholme City to curse Baron Riedel and ordered that
He immediately sent out troops to repel the moss-rot troll.
Being stared at eagerly by the special envoy, Baron Rivendell was worried that he would discover the cause and consequences of Stratholme's lack of food, so he could only bite the bullet and lead the army in person, taking away most of the remaining food in the city.
What to do if there is no food? Let’s make a fuss.
Stratholme is a big city after all, so famine is theoretically impossible.
But it just happened.
Baroness Annastali, who stayed behind in the city, worked hard to appease the angry people in the city and assured them earnestly that if they persisted for a while, the food needs of the whole city would be met by the harvest.
However, the hungry people ignored the empty pie painted by the Baroness. They angrily attacked the city hall and the lord's palace, and the entire Stratholme city was in chaos.
Terenas's envoy obviously did not expect such turmoil to occur, and fled the city in panic, preparing to return to the Royal City of Lordaeron and inform King Terenas of the matter.
A bizarre thing happened again. The envoy was killed by an unknown person on his way back. News of the unrest in Stratholme failed to reach the Royal City of Lordaeron immediately, and the situation intensified.
The Backlight Blade headquarters has been closely monitoring the development of this matter, and Villes has seen some clues from the bizarre incidents that have occurred one after another.
Stellagosa frowned and asked after listening to Sarlayan's description: "Is this someone instigating it behind the scenes?"
"Ha~" Onyxia sneered: "Isn't this obvious? What we should consider now is whether to help? If we do, what can we get from this crisis?"
