As if worried that Locke would collapse, Bridget held Locke tightly in her arms, and she continued to comfort Locke until Locke's spirit slowly recovered.

"I'm fine, Bridget." Being forcibly held in his arms by the woman made Locke, who had returned to the country, a little uncomfortable, he tried to struggle for a while, but he didn't struggle away from the woman who was holding him tightly, he had to remind the woman loudly, "I am the deputy commander of the Crusaders, the supreme commander of the southern theater of the Crusaders, and the great lord of Lordaeron, I can't stay here for too long." ”

"I'm going out and doing what I deserve."

Hearing Locke say this, Bridget subconsciously let go of Locke's neck, and Locke took the opportunity to get out of her arms.

"Are you really okay?" Brigitte looked at him suspiciously, and Locke nodded and said to her calmly, "I'm fine, but our order just now needs to be changed." Let's go, come out with me. ”

With that, Locke sat up from the steps first, and he strode through the chaotic town hall to the outside.

Locke's unusual calm still worries Bridget, so she gets up and quickly follows Locke.

When Brigitte stepped out, she noticed that there were not only fewer people gathered here, but more people.

"Anderson, inform the entire Southern Theater of the death of the Great Lord, and let the soldiers remember this hero of ours."

As Anderson took the order, he suddenly stepped forward and handed Locke a note, which Locke looked through for a long time before he continued to give his own orders.

"Shiloh has asked his priests to hold memorial services for the High Lord Mograini in various places." Locke looked at Shiloh, who bowed to accept the order, and continued, "I hope that when I return from Hearthvale, the entire Southern Warzone will miss High Lord Mograini. ”

Locke looked at Hudson and said, "Commander Hudson, follow me to Hearthvale tomorrow morning with the cavalry regiment. ”

Hudson stepped forward and gave a solemn salute and stepped back.

Finally, Locke turned his gaze to Shiloh in the crowd, he took a deep breath and looked at the latter and said, "In a moment, I will take the members of the Knights of the Silver Hand to the Valley of the Hearth." At that time, the southern theater of operations will be under your command, and the work of combat readiness will not stop, and the logistics department will prepare for a long-term war. ”

"Also, temporarily stop the supply to the rest of the Crusaders, and wait until I get back to make a decision!"

"Baron Berg," Locke found his official in the crowd, who stood out from the crowd and looked at Locke respectfully.

"From now on, all resources will be poured into the army on a priority basis to meet armament and logistical needs."

Ignoring the eyes of the others, Locke gave orders to himself, and the preparations for war were issued.

Locke didn't know what would happen to him tomorrow when he went to Hearthvale, and apart from the unexpected death of the High Lord, he wouldn't let up on the matter of screening the Crusaders' spies. Then this is destined to clash with Dassault Khan, if it really turns out to be like this.....

That... I can only prepare to break with the crusaders.

The order was given, and the people who had received the order outside the town hall gradually dispersed. Only Bridget and Hudson remained.

"You're going to get Eregor and Fairbanks to assemble here," Locke commanded, turning to Bridget, who glanced at Locke, nodded, and left.

How did the clever Bridge not know that Rock was going to talk to Hudson alone?

"Colonel Hudson, there are some things I feel I need to make clear to you."

When they entered the messy town hall, Locke immediately confided his thoughts to Hudson, "I understand your feelings for High Lord Mograine, and in fact I am. I also don't believe that the High Lord with the Ember Bringer in his hands would die so easily from the undead sneak attack, but this is what happened. ”

Hudson didn't speak, he calmly watched Locke wait for his next step.

"The murder of High Lord Mograini is full of mysteries, and here are our sources of information, which explains why I say that."

Locke handed the note to Hudson, who flipped through the scouts' scouting reports. And Locke was also on the side to explain like this.

"Just now, our scouts sent back the same report. The difference is that our scouts are very detailed, and in the reconnaissance reports written by our scouts, the High Lord was attacked near Andorhar. ”

Hudson Locke continued, "Our scouts have scouted all the areas within a radius of tens of kilometers, and they have found no signs of the activity of a large army of undead, and the undead of Andohal have not even left that town. When the scouts examine the corpses of the undead, they discover that their wounds were not caused by the Ashbringle. Moreover, most of them died here. ”

Locke pointed to his head, "They were instantly drained by the soul flame, and they died directly." ”

What does this mean? Do you know? Colonel Hudson. Locke asked Hudson inducingly.

After being silent for half a minute, Hudson's body trembled, and he said with irrepressible anger, "This shows that the Great Lord is not dying there!" It's a second scene that is artificially arranged! Someone among us Crusaders has set it all up! They wanted to cover up the real cause of Mograini's death!! ”

"Who! Who would do such a thing!! Hudson's teeth rattled, "Holy light!" Please forgive me for my anger! I want to have him tied to the stake! Burned alive!! ”

As an old subordinate of Mogherini, Hudson was undoubtedly the person Locke thought was the best to deal with. He was originally the person sent by the Great Lord to help him, which is enough to show the status of the Great Lord in his heart. There are some things that may not have been able to be said to him before, but not necessarily now.

"In fact, after our last trip to Stratholme, I found something suspicious." Locke looked tentatively at Hudson as he said slowly, "We had some accidents in that offensive operation...."

"What an unexpected ?!!" Hudson followed Locke's words.

"We were cut off by an undead ambush in the city of Stratholme, and Grand Commander Dasuo Khan was surrounded by the undead apocalypse." Locke paused, watching Hudson's face slowly turn serious, and he continued, "You know, even paladins, with the help of the Holy Light, are under siege by undead dozens of times more than themselves, it is difficult to get out. Even our High Lord, Mograini, was able to escape from the dead with the help of the Ember Messenger. ”

"And our Grand Commander, Dassault Khan, was killed alone in that battle without anyone answering."

"Such a heroic act should not be doubted. But," said Locke, pointing to the already burned parchment on the ground, "such a directive, with its extreme xenophobia, will only destroy the unity within our crusaders and fill our world with panic." In fact, you have also seen what has become of our southern theater of operations, and this is all due to this "Directive". ”

"I would probably not be surprised if this document was written by General Abydis. However, the great general Abydis will not attack his own people. He just hated the non-human aliens. And this "Instruction" does not even let go of our own people! ”

"However, it is very surprising and incomprehensible that our Grand Commander Dasuo Khan gave such a "directive". You know, our Grand Commander has always reconciled the contradictions within our crusaders from a neutral standpoint, and he has never taken sides. ”

"Don't you think the Grand Commander's position has changed a little suddenly? Moreover, has he changed differently than before?! ”
