"Marsson, you mangy dog, on the day of the triumphal ceremony, did you decide to see clearly?"
After returning to the mansion in Lordaeron, Greg said with a sinister expression that the Duke had a beautiful silver beard on his face, but when he put on such an expression, he looked like
It is a tiger that chooses people to devour.
Marsson shuddered and kneeled on the ground respectfully and said.
"I must have seen it clearly. The adjutant behind Li De is Brad who hindered me that day. This guy and I are both from the same street. Even if there are a few scars on his face, I won't do it."
Admit your mistake.”
The kneeling mid-level thief Marsson was the middle-aged man who had planned to kidnap Varian at the market. However, his middle-aged appearance was made up, and he was actually still very young.
Although his strength is not outstanding, he is the best at observing people's emotions and is also very satisfactory in his work. Therefore, Marsson won Greg's trust.
Malsson and Brad were born in the same neighborhood, but Malsson is younger. Brad has been a popular figure among children since he was a child. He is taller and stronger than others. As an adult, he joined the Royal Army and became an officer.
.
In comparison, Marsson was always inconspicuous among his peers. Even if Marsson didn't wear makeup that day, it would be difficult for Brad to recognize him.
After receiving confirmation from his general again, Greg placed his face under the dim light.
"Leed Victory, I really underestimated you before. You have ruined my good deeds time and time again, and I will make you pay the price."
Varian successfully blackmailed the nobles by taking advantage of everyone's sympathy. And Greg realized one thing. Lothar and Varian were of the same mind and had no intention of accepting the support of the nobles to change the dynasty.
What made Greg even more annoyed was that there was a traitor among the nobles. Grayson Shadunbrak took the initiative to respond to Varian's call and promised to actively contribute to rebuilding the kingdom.
"Idiot who believes in the Holy Light!"
Greg couldn't help but curse. In his opinion, it was precisely because he believed in the Holy Light since childhood that the aristocratic education failed to shape Grayson. In addition to the vague class concept, Grayson was not allowed to understand his position at all.
On the contrary, the superficial etiquette of the aristocratic education also gave Grayson a pretty good education. In short, this guy is a blind follower who is easily led by "love and kindness" and has no independent opinions.
At this moment, Greg even wanted to stay in Lordaeron for the rest of his life. It would be nice to be a rich man, but he was unwilling to end his political life like this.
"It looks like we really need to change our strategy."
…
In the palace, Terenas once again retained Daelin.
"We have agreed before that we will jointly establish a new order for the alliance. Why did you, like Greymane, vote against funding the reconstruction of the Kingdom of Stormwind?"
Although the Kingdom of Stormwind has an attitude, this matter still needs to be voted on by the leaders of various countries. Daelin voted veto, which made Terenas a little dissatisfied.
"Terenas, you must understand. What we have agreed on is to combine politics and trade to establish a new order. The establishment of a new order is not through random giving of money.
If any random thing is that each country contributes money, people, and materials, then if it happens several times in a row, the alliance's finances will be in chaos.
Since order is to be established, there must be rules. Aid cannot be haphazard, as that will only cause a lot of losses and corruption. I advocate using trade to change the direction of aid."
Daelin's statement was finally recognized by Terenas, but in the end he still expressed it to Daelin.
Some things need to be informed in advance. If he directly questions or rejects his proposal at the meeting, it will greatly affect his authority and be detrimental to the establishment of a new order.
…
A week later, a military and civilian team of more than 15,000 people set out from the port of Lordaeron, and their destination was the now-ruined Kingdom of Stormwind.
Among these 15,000 people, there are 7,000 soldiers, mainly composed of the Iron Horse Brotherhood, the Alliance regular army and Li De's Han Navy. The remaining 8,000 people are the first batch of Storm Nation people to come back to rebuild their homeland.
"Did you see it? With so many troops following us, it is clear that they are trying to scare us."
On the ship carrying the nobles, Bores pointed his hand at the troop transport ship in the distance, which immediately aroused the recognition of several minor nobles behind him.
And when it came to Prince Varian's initiative to return with the first group of people, Bores said it with disdain.
"Tch, he's just a little brat who learned a few tricks from others for show."
This argument gained even more support from the small nobles behind him.
In a crowded environment like a sea ship, you are destined to fully feel each other's body odor. It is definitely impossible for a noble gentleman to ride on the same boat as a despicable commoner.
So on such a ship full of nobles, Bores didn't have too many worries about speaking.
Grayson said nothing. From a purely moral perspective, he really looked down on hedonists like Bores.
Only Greg was really observing carefully, and discovered that Lothar did not seem to have monopoly over this army of 7,000 people.
Those actually commanded by Lothar are actually less than 2,000 people left in the Iron Horse Brotherhood. In fact, the person with the most commanding power is the former priest-turned-paladin general, Turalyon.
Others may not have seen the clue yet, but Greg felt something was abnormal.
He could agree that the adjutant would bring more people, while he would bring less than half of the troops, and he wanted to be a partial division of the main force. With this arrangement, Greg clearly understood that Lothar wanted to delegate power.
‘After you retire, you want to take off your power, support a young man as the commander-in-chief, and let him assist His Highness Varian in his place?
This idea is not bad, but it is too naive. Once you remove power, Lothar will no longer be Lothar. In other words, a lonely Lothar has no deterrent effect.
A young boy and a brat, haha...'
Greg laughed in his heart, and he began to wonder whether Lothar had decided to end his political life. If that was the case, Turalyon and Varian would not be enough for Greg.
Afraid.
It can be said that his guess was completely wrong, and he will pay the price for this misjudgment in the future.
Compared to Greg, Bores seemed very pure. While still on the deck of the ship, Bores took out his beautiful golden-maned horse from the cabin.
What's surprising is that the horse didn't feel scared when it came to the deck, with the vast sea all around it! On the contrary, it seemed to be extremely adapted to the ups and downs of the sea, and its four hooves kicked the deck briskly.
, as if to step out a wonderful piece of music.
Bores caressed the horse's body lovingly. The golden-maned horse shook its neck, and its flowing golden mane made it even more handsome!
This horse comes from Kul Tiras. It is hard for ordinary people to imagine that there are horses in the island country. But in fact, Kul Tiras not only has horses, but also has an extremely strong and handsome horse breed. At this time
This golden-maned horse that Bores is caressing.
Even in Kul Tiras, the golden-maned horse is an out-and-out national treasure. Even the Lords of the Stormsong family find it hard to buy a good horse for a lot of money.
Being able to buy Kul Tiras is a clear indication of Bores' financial resources. This guy has plenty of money, enough to hold banquets for hundreds of years in a row, but even so, he is still not satisfied.
"Hey, my BMW will land on the shore later. If you want to run well for me, I will point all my fingers at you."
While still on the boat, Bores had already started planning how to start his horse racing after getting off the boat.
The war caused people to leave their homes and abandon their land, so Bores's understanding was that these were ownerless wastelands that had been ravaged by orcs, and whoever could occupy them belonged to them.
In short, in one sentence, Bores's own land is still Bores's; the wasteland left by others must be his Bores's!
To make a long story short, after the first group of people returned to Stormwind City, a horse trampled people outside Stormwind City that day!
After Lothar learned about this, his face was extremely ugly. Bores simply ignored the royal authority and moral principles! Many people are still in Lordaeron and have not returned. Bores's behavior is tantamount to usurping others.
Land, and there are bad behaviors that hurt people!
The angry Lothar almost immediately hinted to Turalyon to imprison Bores directly!
However, in the face of Turalyon's arrest, Bores showed no fear, and even demanded to defend himself in front of Varian and Lothar.
The temporary trial court was chosen in the library where Perenold was captured earlier. When Turayan and Bores arrived, the arrogant Duke refused to accept the charges of embezzling land and setting horses to wound people.
admit!
In Boris's words, he was not occupying land at all, but conducting on-the-spot investigations to formulate a reconstruction plan: as a great nobleman, he had to shoulder greater responsibilities and make more wastelands prosperous again.
In the end, Bores even said that he was all responding to "Lotha's call." It was Lothar's words that day that made him feel ashamed and wanted to do his best to contribute to the rebuilding of the Kingdom of Stormwind, but he never thought
, what you did was wrong?
After Bores said these words, Lothar felt as sick as if she had eaten a fly!
These guys actually started to engage in confrontation in this way! In the name of rebuilding their homes, they were enclosing land! What's even more disgusting is that in a short period of time, there was no way to prove whether they really wanted to rebuild their homes or were just outright enclosures.
In comparison, the incident of riding a horse and injuring someone is trivial and not worth mentioning. With a smile on his face, Bores said that the injury was due to negligence. He is willing to bear all the treatment costs and compensate a large sum of money.
.
Looking at Bores who finally walked out of the temporary court triumphantly, Lothar was still angry, but Li De comforted him with a smile.
"You don't need to be angry because of the despicable tricks. The other party only has this kind of means. The land they have usurped will have to be spit out as it is before long!"
